This new and compelling book by Harrie Salman is a manifesto in which he analyzesthe ills of our times, calls out those persons and institutions he sees asresponsible for those ills, and issues a call to action. He addresses that call toaction to all of us who believe that individuals and groups working together canrenew and liberate our society. He calls on us to become fully human and enrich oursocial lives—impoverished by the lockdowns of what he calls "the healthdictatorship"—from the bottom up, with inspiration from the Divine. It is a noblecall, and Harrie is quite aware that the tasks he outlines will not be easilyaccomplished. Today, however, to take a stand for humanity is nothing less than aradical act of rebellion, of defiance, against a veritable blitzkrieg ofdehumanizing technologies that are assaulting all human beings—in body, soul, mindand, most of all, spirit. From synthetic biology to geoengineering to universalcovert and overt surveillance of everyone and everything, we human beings, allaround the globe, are moving, like it or not, into a very Brave New World. HarrieSalman presents a way out of a tragically polarized situation, in which people findthemselves on one side or another believing that those on the other side have been"brainwashed." He coolly and succinctly identifies the pieces of the puzzle and putsthem together in a coherent pattern that anyone, of any political persuasion, canrecognize. –From the Preface by Ed Conroy
