This is a work of fiction. Persons appearing in this book are not real and are not intended to be understood as real. Those with the same names as living, well‑known persons are portrayed here for the political purpose of questioning and undermining respect for their authority, under the full protection of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, as extended by the Fourteenth Amendment, for political speech. Aside from well‑known public figures, any use of a real person’s name is accidental and unintentional.
The portrayal of the global and political system as being under the control of vicious aliens from outer space bent on degrading humanity to extinction and destroying our glorious planet is entirely my invention, and should not be taken to imply that any such creatures actually control any specific bankers, administrators, religious leaders, etc. Sure would explain a lot if it were true, though, wouldn’t it?
