Welcome to Season 2 of Martinis with Lars Teeney. New year Same Dumpster Fire. We started 2019 with a government shutdown and a wannabe dictator in the White House. What better way to start things off than with what seems to be personification of the antagonist of the book in power right now. Haha. In all seriousness though, I hope you enjoy the prologue.Synopsis: New Megiddo has been born out of the ashes of America, an America that has sacrificed liberty for security. Ravaged by environmental disaster and shuttered off from the rest of the world by border fortress walls, and the strict dogma of spiritual leader, The Reverend Wilhelm Wainwright, the people take small comfort from the sermons the Reverend delivers straight to the people's minds via the [Virtue-Net]. However, the President John W. Schrubb Administration has been losing its grip on power. Murmurs and rumors of a resistance group of Apostates emanate from "Database" dens in the slums, financed by a mysterious source, are said to be scheming to free the people. Will the Apostates strike in time before the Born Again Gathering ushers in a state-induced Armageddon?

New Megiddo Rising: Ch 5: Let the Children Alone

Today, I wanted to get something off my chest. Free speech is often misunderstood and misrepresented by both sides of the political spectrum, but mostly on the far-right, and by neo-liberals. I wanted to throw in my two-cents about the alt-right, white nationalists, the intellectual dark web, neo-liberal feminism, call-out culture, the hashtag resistance, and the corporate oligarchs that make money off of fueling the controversy and define free speech for us. As always you can download my novella, New Megiddo Rising, free at Amazon...speaking of oligarchs, haha. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015DS2FN8  

The Free Speech Fallacy on the Right and Left

Here I take a break from reading chapter out of New Megiddo rising for some commentary on current events. I try to connect the dots with some modern phenomenons, like social media organizing and influencing, "grassroots" versus "astroturfing", neo-liberalism and neo-fascism, and the oligarchical, corporate elite that has been manipulating the left and right and channeling their populist rage to defeat otherwise noble initiatives. Hopefully, this commentary will make sense, and many might disagree. if you do you are welcome to send criticism to apostates.feedback@gmail.com. As always you can download my free novella at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015DS2FN8      

Yellow Vests, France, Neo-liberalism, Neo-fascism, and "Astroturfing"
