…tire democracies under threat. Sure, the recent right-wing coup attempt in Germany had no real chance of actually succeeding.

But how it operates—and why it’s on the rise—can be…

That was several years ago, and he has been on the loose and employed in the very office dedicated to deal with similar incidents. It is hard to make up these cases. Another jaw dropper of late is a report that Argentine Archbishop Gustavo…
