Servants Of The Devil: The Facilitators Of The Criminal And Terrorist Networks

Since the end of the Cold War, liberal capitalism has spread worldwide, characterized by the search for an ever-increasing return on capital and profits. The book "Servants of the Devil: The Facilitators of the Criminal and Terrorist Networks" shows that this evolution has been possible due to legitimate actors equipped with the legal, financial, technical, and influential means to facilitate the legitimization of criminals and the justification of a criminal economy. The book aims to alert security authorities, government officials, business, professional, and financial leaders, and the media that criminal and terrorist networks have thoroughly penetrated the political, economic, and social structures of the contemporary world and could not operate without the extensive and willing cooperation of these facilitators. Recommendations are made to alter the targets of law-enforcement forces and the justice system, put more emphasis on the facilitators by naming, shaming, and prosecuting them, and develop intelligence and analytic techniques to stay ahead of the criminals' techniques.

Since the end of the Cold War, liberal capitalism has spread worldwide, characterized by an intense pursuit of ever-increasing returns on capital and constantly rising profits, a general disregard for the moral values of liberalism, and a lack of concern for social inequalities and human suffering. This evolution has been facilitated by legitimate actors who possess the legal, financial, technical, and influential means to legitimize criminals and justify a criminal economy. These facilitators, often referred to as "Servants of the Devil," act as the legitimate intermediaries between criminals and the criminal economy.

The book, titled "Servants of the Devil: The Facilitators of the Criminal and Terrorist Networks," aims to raise awareness among security authorities, government officials, business leaders, professional and financial experts, and the media about the pervasive nature of criminal and terrorist networks in the contemporary world. It emphasizes that these networks cannot function without the extensive and willing cooperation of these facilitators. The book offers recommendations to alter the targets of law-enforcement forces and the justice system by placing greater emphasis on the facilitators. This includes naming, shaming, and prosecuting them to effectively disable criminals and terrorists.

Furthermore, the legal structure needs to be reformed, with procedures outlined for critical institutions and the development of advanced intelligence and analytic techniques to stay ahead of criminals' constantly evolving techniques. The book provides a comprehensive account of the problem and its detrimental impact on Western society, underscoring the urgent need for a new economic paradigm that fosters genuine economic understanding.
