{"product_id":"paranoic-in-the-age-of-alan-forrest-smith-9781739769321","title":"Paranoic In The Age of Stupid","description":"\u003cp\u003eToday's date is November 16th, 2021. I am writing to you at exactly 21:51 pm. It's \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epitch black outside. The only thing I have heard is two large foxes that play and fight \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eoutside almost every night. It feels the same, but the reality is right now life isn't the \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esame. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe thoughts in this book are expanded thoughts I had written over the period of \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe pandemic. There are also some fictional stories based on real events. There are also \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ea rambling or two of words some will call poetry, but I simply call them some thoughts \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI am having so I write them as I think them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's just a few months short of two years since this pandemic began. Even as I write \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethis to you the politicians can change their thinking on a daily basis. Mostly their \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethinking has been specifically designed to add human fear to push compliance. If this \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewas ever a pandemic of health that ended a long time ago. This is now a pandemic of \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epower where career and salvationist politicians feel they have almost touched death, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand appear to feel they have the gift of life in their hands. They don't. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut this book isn't really about those people in control. It is about something much \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebigger, something more powerful and something that directly affects you and me. That \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esomething is an idea and how that idea like the smallest seeds can become the biggest \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof trees. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI also wanted to mention that it is so easy for us all to accept what is going on, accept \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe changes and go with the flow. That is appearing to be a mistake that could cost you, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eme, us all dearly. These are not times to let go of what humans fought over for \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emillenniums. That thing is freedom to do the things we need to do to be happy free \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epeople. Freedoms to travel the world, the freedom of choice and something as simple \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eas sitting in a coffee shop. Incredibly as I write to you today Austria have decided to \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edivide their nation into two parts. They now have two 'legal' classes of citizens. The \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eclean and the unclean, the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. As I edit this book Austria \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehave also announced that the unvaccinated will face jail if they refuse to get vaccinated \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eby February 1st. Can they really throw over two million citizens into jail? It looks as \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethough Germany is heading the same perverse way. Police can be seen everywhere \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003echecking the papers of everyone on the streets or any location outside a private home. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a time for lovers of truth and freedom to relax. If this shocking change can \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehappen in countries like those it might be coming to you. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Forrest Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1739769325\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781739769321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Master and Man Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.18d","brand":"Alan Forrest Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981332021503,"sku":"9781739769321","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_377df3c6-1ea3-42d6-b3f9-a53861bf87ad.jpg?v=1683254967","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/paranoic-in-the-age-of-alan-forrest-smith-9781739769321","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
