The Pendulum Has Swung Too Far

Well, in this book, as well as a variety of other topics I take a good look at 1984 and Brave New World and give a brief overview of those two books. So if you’re hearing a lot about them, but can’t be bothered to read the books, then I’m the boy for you because I have read them, and I summarise them briefly and clearly. And then take a very serious look at Lockdown, the vaccine and the government’s attitude to the whole pandemic.

I’ve been called a Conspiracy Theorist more times than I can remember. Something I take as a compliment because it indicates I’m a Freethinker. And most people who were called a Conspiracy Theorist in 2020, myself included, are still waiting to be proved wrong. Its just a term people use when they’ve run out of arguments and have no answer to your own line of reasoning, ‘Oh, I don’t hold with all these conspiracy theories,’ often said in a pompous tone.

But if I were looking for a pet name to call myself, apart from Freethinker, I think I’d choose the term Apocaloptimist, a word meaning someone who knows it’s all going to sh*t, but still thinks it will turn out okay. Apocaloptimism is a brand-new word that is yet to be recognised by respectable dictionaries, but I choose it here because in this book I’ve made every effort to finish on a positive note, and that may surprise some, but although the pendulum has definitely now swung too far, a pendulum will always return to its equilibrium. And I see big changes ahead for humanity as long as we don’t buy into the fear.

We’re living in a totalitarian state, but don’t realise it. The government told us when we are allowed to be outside, where we are allowed to go, when we were allowed to work, if we were permitted to go on holiday, what parts of the country we could visit, and how many of us could sit in a pub. Doesn’t sound believable now, does it?

You see, I’m not particularly fond of people who fly to meetings in private jets to discuss how to take billions of pounds of taxpayer’s money for a vaccine that doesn’t work, and billions more of taxpayer’s money to give to countries with their own space programme, and then billions more to house illegal immigrants and drug lords whilst the poor and the elderly starve and freeze, and ex-servicemen and women sleep on the streets, and then invite Russian Oligarchs to ‘invest’ in our country and use it to launder their money whilst turning a blind eye if they start killing each other …..but maybe that’s just me

I’ve been called a fascist by fascists, and a racist by racists, and a right-wing football thug just because I don’t like to see statues of war heroes destroyed by thugs. Hey, call me a Conspiracy Theorist, if you like, but first of all make sure you understand what exactly that means.

Freethinkers, you see, are those who have evolved beyond other people’s comfort zones. And Apocaloptimists believe the glass is both half full and half empty.

People are getting angry, and in this book I analyse these views and justify them in the words of the bloke who goes to football on a Saturday afternoon, enjoys a few pints with his mates before the game and puts the world to right. These are, you see, issues that need addressing. I haven’t watered down my writing at all, or bent over backwards to suit the do-gooders, I promise you that.
