Subject: My novel is published this week - takes lead from Orwell's "1984"
Dear Ken
I run the web blog http://www.thisistherealtruth.net
- if you look at it you will see that I am doing quitre a lot of lobbying
of MPs right now, with some degree of success. But in parallel, my debut
novel, "The Yogi Footballer" comes out on March 20th. A thumbnail
and larger image of the front cover is on my web site - and please find
below the text from the press release. I am hoping to get support from web
sites such as Educate Yourself - since my book is published by a tiny independent
publisher and I am responsible for making people aware of it.
I like you have had one or two articles published on Rense,
and I know just how powerful our joint actions can be.
If you are able to post news of my novel, I would be extremely
grateful. But I would be grateful if you do not post my mobile number or
home address, but I obviously include them for yourself as per your request
on your email page.
Debut Novel Breaks Ground Where Orwell Feared
to Tread
Novels about football are few and far between, spiritual novels
about football even more so, making the debut novel by Simon Ralli Robinson,
“The Yogi Footballer” potentially unique.
The story culminates with the England football team facing
a potentially devastating terrorist attack on board their flight from Japan
back to Britain, an attack designed to kill all on board, an attack designed
to shock and outrage and fill the British people with fear. In George Orwell’s
“1984”, the government created a fictional enemy “Emmanuel
Goldstein”, as a propaganda tool designed to keep the common people
in constant fear. “The Yogi Footballer” has been written to
teach its readers just how much the concept of the international terrorism
of Al Qaeda, the powerful and sinister network, with sleeper cells in countries
across the world, is fantasy. But where “1984” was devoid of
any spiritual dimension, “The Yogi Footballer” has at its heart
the hero Benjamin Boddy, an orphan, born in Nepal, and cared for by monks
in a remote mountain monastery.
What is a yogi? A yogi is a holy person from India and the
Himalayan region. These people do exist, and have what some see as supernatural
abilities, to walk on water, levitate, bi-locate, and become invisible.
Ben is born with these skills fully developed, but as a child he is not
aware that he has them. A British couple adopts Ben and his football-mad
father, having no knowledge of Ben’s true destiny, allows his natural
football talents to flourish.
Spotted by Southampton F.C., and selected for England, Ben
becomes a premiership player with no peer; a global icon, winning the hearts
of football fans around the world with his near supernatural ability on
the pitch. He lives a life a world away from the tabloid tales of drinking,
sex and conspicuous wealth of many of our highest profile premiership players.
The only comparison with “Footballers’ Wives” is that
much of the action takes place off the pitch.
The back cover of the book describes Benjamin Boddy, The Yogi
Footballer, as “a new kind of hero for the aware generation.”
The aware generation is this generation, who, unlike the first audience
of “1984”, use the independent and not the mass media as their
principal source of news, for the aware generation know that many of the
alleged 9-11 hijackers are still alive; they know about the dubious stock
trades before the attacks; they know about Vigilant Guardian, Vigilant Warrior,
Northern Vigilance, TRIPOD II, these being military and FEMA exercises on
September 11th that also included a simulated live-fly hijacking of an airliner.
This generation used the Internet in 2001 to watch the video of George Bush
reading a book about a pet goat when the attacks happened, and this generation
immediately asked why no aircraft had been scrambled. They asked all the
questions that our media refused to.
As well as being a novel, “The Yogi Footballer”
has a reference section at the end, with a final chapter full of references
to the sources for the inspiration behind the book, and specific episodes
within it. If any reader is still left with doubts about the premise of
the book, by the time they read this section, and follow up on the books
and web links referenced there, any lingering doubts will soon vanish.
Ultimately, for all the controversy that this novel will create,
at its heart is a simple message. Global peace starts with ourselves. The
power of our leaders is an illusion. They do not build their house upon
the rock; they are not wise people. The story behind “The Yogi Footballer”
is a story in itself, how Simon Ralli Robinson gave up a well paid job in
London, to travel the world, seeking the wisest people he could find, from
living in the cosmic city of Varanasi, India, where he lived with his yoga
guru, to the desolate plains of Arizona, where he met and led a ceremony
with the highly respected Elder, Grandfather Martin, of the Hopi people
on their reservation. Although not a long novel, it is densely packed with
action, wisdom and revelations, and is destined to be one of the leading
underground novels of 2005.
