Hello Stephen.. I am now nearly through Chapter 1.
I bought your book here in Switzerland and it cost me 29.90 Swiss Francs - just so you know 🤷♂️🤷♂️
With the quote below, I feel that if I stopped reading your book now, I've got my monies worth::
Chapter 1, footnote 2 about NGO's:
"When they receive government grants, as many do, there is no longer anything 'nongovernmental' about them. And some big ones, in turn, fund government operations."
Of course this is obvious on one hand but quite hidden on the other. and it stuck out like that part of a male dogs anatomy that is some times unavoidable to ignore :) when I read it.
How many 'charities' are actually owned by Churches and enter other countries to fight poverty when the people have not voted for such things? I could go on.
Here in Switzerland if one announces to the Tax Office that you are a member of a Church (not all do this) the Tax Office will remove the Kirchsteuer for you and pay it to the Church and all based on your earnings. Sounds great, but as a spiritual person I don't belong to any church as such but my taxes get to pay for the administration of such practices! Is that fair, I have to ask. (here is a link explaining Germany's Kirchensteuer: https://www.welcome-hub-germany.com/blog/church-tax-germany )
One other thing is your statement about 'endless grievances'.
I find it interesting, with me, how certain statements, usage of words can turn a light bulb on and very brightly.. even if it goes away shortly afterwards.
I think I grew up with endless grievances and then it turns out I'm gay, and the list got bigger but thank goodness I am allergic to joining groups and therefore I'm not out there in the streets - much to some friends dismay - endlessly protesting every other moment.. it might be good for my self-power if I was shouting down others!!! Who knows {insert tongue in cheek here].
But what your words clarified in me is how a group (any) can claim grievances and if an individual in the same group Acronym claims a grievance of their own, that all of a sudden - according to the others - their grievance is nothing compared to X or Z or K's grievance because they instantly are more of a minority. I've kind of realised this from personal experience after asking what rights the LGBTQ+ were fighting for and who they actually are as I have not signed any membership that I'm aware of or voted for rights that I think need to be fought for, this year; but your words somehow clarified this for me.. concretised it.
So far, I'm loving the way you weave together so many things..I really cannot hold it to explain. But you talk about Left and Right, the NGO's is a big thing (I worked for one 10 years ago and they made a multi million dollar profit and brought that down by declaring that their properties were know longer worth much!!! - talk about creative accounting), you mention how we have handed over our citizenship to paid professionals, lawyers and ... etc., etc.,
I like this video a lot and enjoyed hearing how his Grandmother outsourced her voting to one Party to do it all....
Human Rights : I've been chastised because I've never understood Human Rights.. why? well after many years I realised it was because: the next elected Dictator could cancel everything.
Enough.
Stephen, I'm enjoying your book. It confirms some things that were floating around in my thinking for years but unable to put together due to not thinking, not enough experience or information and I like how you don't leave any side untouched. At the moment you mention Left and Right of politics and it makes so much sense to me.
I am only two years in to learning about how socialism, communism, fascism can and does take part in our society and I learned that one way is because we/I don't read about these subjects and just go along with every man and his dog.
I have your book but yet to read it Stephen :)
I saw the following words on the website of a sitting Australia Parliamentarian: Australians want an easier life for them and their families:::::::::
"What I want for my kids is what I want for all Australians. A fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work. A wage rise when they work hard. Great education and Medicare. Cheaper, cleaner energy bills. Faster internet. Housing people can afford. A comfortable retirement. An easier life.
That’s what families are asking for. Delivering it takes real leadership. It takes Labor."
Years ago I would have gone along with this sh*t but now I question:
Who decides what a fair days pay is?
Who decides when a pay rise will be applied?
Who decides when I / we work hard?
Who decides how this 'working hard' will be achieved, let alone decided upon under what methods?
What happens if I disagree that I am entitled to a pay rise?
What happens if a pay rise is applied and sends my or any, business broke?
Who determines what 'great education' is?
Who determines what 'great Medicare' is?
Who pays for this - great Education and great medicare?
Who will make sure that there is cheaper 'anything', given that they are Private Companies!!??
Who will pay and make sure that we have fast internet?
What does 'affordable housing' mean and who will pay for this?
Who will decide what is a 'comfortable retirement' and how will this be paid for and achieved and for what end?
What if I don't have a comfortable retirement; can I sue the Politician 20, 30, 40 years later if this is not achieved? After all, it is on this politicians Home Page espousing what a Labor Government will achieve!!!
Who decides what an easier life is?
Who pays for this easier life?
My easier life means living in the south of france and my pension would have to be ten thousand euros per month, minimum! Can you, politician, promise this for me? You stated 'A comfortable retirement. An easier life.' !!!
What is an easier life, compared to what?
What if I'm already a multi millionaire and you want to give me an easier life; what then?
There is no mention in this politicians words, yes it is very short, but no words that we are all double taxed for instance!! I pay tax on my salary and then pay GST/VAT/MWST, mostly, when I purchase things.
There is no mention, for instance, to what this taxes are for or 'when is enough enough...'
Maybe I'm a raving lunatic for posting this but for a long time, with friends laughing at me, I would say: Australia is really communist you know; there is to much government interference'.
I wonder what your book will bring to me Stephen..
Hopefully it will provide a solution or at least a way of thinking about it that will eventually to one. I do not have all the answers, but I try to distill the best of those that come before me and hope that it will inspire those who come after to refine it further.

I first realised some of this 'outsourcing' our 'stuff' or votes when I watched this: https://www.ted.com/talks/jon_barnes_isn_t_it_time_for_true_democracy/transcript?subtitle=en

Maybe I will post again...
Thanks for such an enlightened work.
I am glad you like it. You certainly seem to catch the key points which are not being made by others. I hope all readers manage to "get it" like that.

"Leave It To Beaver and Father Knows Best" shows were fantasies.
and some of us believed in these fantasies. Damn.... lololol but it is not a laughing matter really..
