Black Flag: the Rise of Isis

(us) Joby Warwick

260K0

The book "Black Flag: The Rise of ISIS" describes in depth how Zarqawi, the founder of ISIS, developed an organization that emerged from a black prison in Jordan into a Middle Eastern ghost capable of controlling the psychological panic of 6 billion people around the world. It also revealed for the first time how the successive military misjudgments of George W. Bush and Obama helped the terrorist organization ISIS grow step by step. When the Jordanian government pardoned a group of political prisoners in 1999, no one knew that one of them, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, would later become the mastermind behind the world's most famous terrorist organization. Zarqawi started out inconspicuously, with his terror base in northern Iraq. The US military invasion in 2003 turned him into a riot leader. Zarqawi was cruel and violent, using beheadings and suicide bombs to disrupt the situation in the Middle East. In the end, with the joint cooperation of Jordanian and US intelligence agencies, Zarqawi was finally killed during the capture operation in 2006.

The extreme of environment, the extreme of belief, the extreme of life, can you survive it? 700 Days of ice and sea, the greatest Antarctic adventure story of the 20th century! The order to abandon ship was issued at 5 p. M. However, for most of the crew, it was no longer necessary, because everyone knew that the ship was completely ruined and it was time to abandon it. No one showed fear or even worry. They had been fighting non-stop for three days, but in the end they failed. One person disagrees with the general feeling of relief after escaping a shipwreck. His name was Sir Ernest Shackleton, and it was he who led the British Empire's expedition across Antarctica. This day is October 27, 1915. The name of the expedition ship is "Endurance". The current coordinates are 69.5 Degrees south latitude and 51.3 Degrees west longitude, deep in the mysterious Weddell Sea ice sheet in Antarctica, just between the South Pole and the nearest human settlement, which is 1,200 miles away. No one outside knew they were in trouble. At that time, they had no radio transmitters. In 1903, on this small island, the crew of the Swedish ship "Antarctica", which was hit by the ice of the Weddell Sea, spent the entire winter. The ship was eventually rescued, and during the evacuation the crew left the ship's supplies on Paulette Island in case of any future shipwrecks. Interestingly, it was Shackleton who was ordered to purchase these supplies, and now, twelve years later, this was exactly what he needed most.

Few accounts of the 2008 financial crisis are told from the perspective of the millions of ordinary Americans who bore the greatest pain of the economic collapse. Because in such a system, how people are treated depends on their wealth and power. Since 2009, three ordinary Americans have decided to uncover this mystery, clarify the crimes of Wall Street, and explore the reasons why. They are a cancer care nurse, a car salesman and an expert in insurance fraud. They are foreclosure victims, who are often referred to as "morts" or house slaves. They discovered that the entire mortgage industry had fundamentally undermined the centuries-old U. S. Real estate legal system; that the millions of documents that caused people to lose their homes to foreclosure were all false; that all Americans who took out mortgages were taking a huge gamble, and they were very likely to be evicted from their homes with nothing, even if they complied with the law and made their payments on time every time. This is a major failure of public policy. We don't know how many families have lost their homes during the foreclosure crisis, but estimates are at least closer to 6 million. Numerous studies show that people who live in foreclosure areas suffer more physical and psychological illnesses. A 2014 report in the American Journal of Public Health concluded that foreclosure rates are related to the number of suicides. The foreclosure crisis is the most damaging to the wealth of middle-class American families in the past century.

After the end of World War II in 1945, the 60,000 officers and soldiers of the First Army of the Japanese invaders stationed in Shanxi were in constant panic. With his unrivaled eloquence, Staff Officer Hiroshi Hiroshi, a talented student graduated from Imperial University, painted a hopeful blueprint for the despairing First Army generals, convincing them that Japan was defeated and as long as the First Army remained in Shanxi and controlled Shanxi's resources, it would be the greatest loyalty to the emperor and Japan! As long as the 60,000 Japanese troops stationed in Shanxi can wisely use Yan Xishan's sworn hatred for the Communist Party and the irreconcilable conflict with the Central Committee of Chiang Kai-shek to win Yan Xishan's asylum, they can continue to stay in Shanxi and firmly control Shanxi's rich coal and iron resources, preserving an inexhaustible material base and an elite advance army for Japan's future revival.

Former French President Chirac delivered a speech at the unveiling ceremony of the Chinese Workers' Monument: "No one will forget these warriors who came from afar to share the fate of France in a cruel war. They defended France's territory, ideas and freedom with their souls and bodies. Please allow me to contribute to the victory of France's independence and the rational principles of mankind with their own lives." I pay high respect to the Chinese people who sacrificed their lives. Their courage and spirit are admirable. The French people will never forget it!" The author's inscription is - the documents and archives have conclusive records: Nearly a century ago, 150,000 Chinese people fought on the Western Front of Europe. However, there have been major gaps in history. How many people from this weak army sent by a huge country have become the ghosts of foreign countries? Nearly a century has passed, and the dust of history should not obscure the humiliation, pain, bloody fights and cries of grief and indignation of the Chinese ancestors.

Poor and Busy (translated Documentary)

In America, poverty is an original sin. Why do people get busier as they get poorer, and get poorer as they get busier? Education, medical care and housing, employment, taxes and benefits, and even gender, region and culture. Poverty is always a "system" problem. Pulitzer Prize winner, focusing on the "working poor" in the United States and seeing the "invisible America". This is the America that has been forgotten. The car washer has no car to drive, the bank clerk's account only has US$2.02, And the income of a female medical textbook editor in ten years cannot keep up with that of a dentist. This book tells the stories of some of them: their families, their dreams, their failures. And what failed more than them was their country. Although the United States is richer than ever before, and although the United States promotes the credo of "working to get rich," the problems of low-income people have made all this questionable. For most of the people I write about, anger is a luxury. They are struggling, exhausted and unable to find a way out. Their wages did not improve their lives and lift them out of poverty. On the contrary, they were burdened by life. People often use the word "working poor" to describe them, and the word itself is an oxymoron. In America, hard-working people should not be poor. The U. S. Economy has had its ups and downs, and the latest statistics show that the lives of poor people have remained basically unchanged, except that they have become more difficult. The gap in net worth between the richest and poorest households has widened, creating a polarization. The resource gap between wealthy school districts and other school districts has further widened. More children are missing school due to asthma, more people do not have access to health insurance, more people are hungry, more people are in jail, and more illegal immigrants are working at the bottom of the workforce. Americans generally do not understand the causes of poverty and, therefore, do not know how to solve it. They believe in the American Dream and believe that even people from the poorest backgrounds can live a happy life. But this also gives people an excuse to blame the poor: to some extent, low wages are the worker's fault, because low wages simply mean that the value of his labor is low. In the American context, poverty always carries the aura of original sin. Indeed, being poor in a rich country is much more difficult than being poor in a poor country.

Huang Zonghan, the youngest of the Huang brothers and sisters (Huang Zongjiang, Huang Zonghuai, Huang Zongying, Huang Zongluo, Huang Zonghan), was an old revolutionary who joined the underground party in 1948. At the end of 1978, he took the initiative to be appointed as the director of Beifeng Television Factory, an old factory under the planned economy system that suffered serious losses. However, he did not expect that his sentence "When you are a factory director, you have to make money for the country" would have profound political significance. Huang Zonghan adopted a series of reform measures in Dongfeng Factory, which caused great influence across the country. However, reform will inevitably damage the interests of vested interest groups under the planned economic system. Many conflicts were finally ignited by a reportage titled "Hope is in the World" written by the writer Li Ji in 1981. It took high-level intervention to finally solve the problem. The so-called "ice-breaking journey" aims to break the "hard ice" that hinders reform from the planned economic system and related social structures, ideologies, and vested interest groups. The "gap" refers to the flexible side of the system, which allows the large and rigid administrative system to have a certain degree of free political space, and its flexibility makes initial reforms possible.
