What does it feel like to have your every move watched day and night, 365 days a year? This means not just your mundane activities, but even your most private moments, like gargling, cleaning your nose, making love with your spouse, trimming your hair “down there,” or doing a #2.

 

Stereotypical voyeurs aside… unless you’re a celebrity, m/billionaire, or politician, they won’t waste their time on you because they can’t make big bucks off you.

​

But what if it’s an organization, a law enforcement agency, or simply the current regime conducting the surveillance? Never mind you. What if they are also monitoring your entire family, including your children?

​

Scary, isn’t it? But “frightening” doesn’t even scratch the surface when describing the detrimental effects of this violation of privacy. How about “disturbing, devastating, confidence-zapping, stability-busting, soul-sucking, or psychologically damning?” Yet you can’t really sympathize with people who experienced this until it happens to you.

​

Why should you care? After all, you’re not a terrorist. You have nothing to hide. However, you should give a damn because “it” can happen to anyone, including you. You don’t have to be a criminal or a psychopath. All you may have done is contribute to the “wrong” cause, like donating to a human rights organization or an environmental activist site that has ticked off your “governing authority.” Certain jurisdictions can now lock you out of your bank accounts and prevent you from leaving your country as punishment for these innocent activities.

 

Much of the motivation for bullying boils down to mass control, so the prevailing authority can preserve its power and influence. This is just one motive, though. There are other more sinister reasons, but you have to read the book to unearth these.

 

Bullying begins with surveillance, then psychological torture, then more tangible forms of intimidation. If you are not affected by the bullying—or if you resist—it escalates to physical assault, detention, incarceration, or, in the worst case scenario, murder. Or all of the aforementioned. If they choose to keep you alive, a darker aspect of steamrollering hinges on surreptitious attacks using mind manipulation via subliminal projection and, of course, cyber technology.

 

The above circumstances are only a few described in detail in this book. Though fictional, the novel is allegedly an amalgamation based on various events experienced by human rights advocates, political and environmental activists, and journalists.

 

You don’t have to be a victim of bullying to benefit from this book. As it offers solutions to various methods of attack, it can be a “preparation manual” for those gearing up for catastrophes. Hint: World War III. Some of the gadgets, events, and technological advances the author predicted in this book have now become available or have already started to happen. Be warned!
