New Liberty Book by DPer
Submitted by Alan.nyc on Fri, 09/25/2009 - 00:29Hey all, I've been a DailyPaul member for over 2 years, spending most of my time since the election as an avid lurker, but refraining from participation so I'd have time to work on my project. I've been so inspired over the last few years by many of you and the information that is posted/discussed here.
This is not meant to be an ad per se, simply a sharing of the inspiration that has touched my life. Ron Paul spoke often of the creativity that is unleashed by freedom and laid out an example that the pen is always mightier than the sword. There have been many times that I have been frustrated with the challenges we face and many hours have been spent devising a way to play my part. The book I am offering you is the end product of that introspection. I came to the conclusion that this is what I can do, this is the best focus of my energies. I hope you enjoy it.
The book is sort of an updated Animal Farm, set among a conspiratorial future, intermixed with Libertarian philosophy and an exploration of consciousness. (God, I hate trying to describe a volume of text in a sentence or two.) Here is an excerpt from chapter 7 that gives a pretty good synopsis of the project:
“Tonight,” Zabu went on, “I’ll be reciting another chapter from Arabian Nights, a lengthy tome I’ve been retelling for the last two weeks or so. It’s the story of Scheherazade, a beautiful young woman who tames the savage heart of her Sultan with her wit and her storytelling. You see, the Sultan’s wife cheated on him so he had her killed. He comes to the conclusion that all women are inherently wicked and devises a plan to marry a new woman each day and have her killed after a single night together – thus preventing any wife from betraying him ever again. This practice puts an end to many of the women of his kingdom and the once beloved Sultan becomes a monster in the eyes of his subjects. Scheherazade decides to marry the Sultan, knowing that if her plan fails she will be killed. She begins a story on her wedding night that so captivates the Sultan’s attention, he forestalls her murder for another night until she can complete it. She continues night after night, with increasingly complex tales, to hold his wrath indefinitely.”
“We here are like Scheherazade, prolonging our lives with the telling of our tales. Every day we appease The State with our entertaining ways and each night we stave off madness with them as well.”
“The chapter we’re up to tonight is called ‘The Sleeper Awakened.’ It’s about a man who is brainwashed and tortured by his government. I’d say it’s an appropriate story for you on your first night here in the hidden reality.”
Zabu smiled, noticing her longing glances into the slumbering Umpa’s cage. “I think you’ll like this one, it turns out to be a love story.”
I invite all of you to my new site www.AllTheHappyCreatures.com where I am putting my efforts out for free perusal. Please enjoy, and if you do, please share it with others.
All the best,
Alan Abbadessa

In concert with the End The Fed events, chapters 7 through 11 will be posted on www.AllTheHappyCreatures.com
Come on by and give it a read. If it's half as good as LibertyBelle says it is, I'll feel more than vindicated. :)
Here's a promo video I threw together for the occasion.

After reading Liberty_Belle's post, I went to YouTube and tried to watch the animated version of Animal Farm... I can't do it. It's too ugly, dark, mean, sad.. for me.. It literally PAINS me, profoundly, and reading Liberty_Belle's posts.. I don't want to waste too much time on myself.. but this really has me wondering.
I HATE how your book has the cage and the4 hot and cold.. it's a scifi horror.. Ot's like too "brilliant".. I have to shade my eyes from the sun... hurts too much.
I hope you take this as a compliment and do not HATE me for my weakness. I am sorry and I think I'll go get some help.. I don't know.. on one hand I agree with Barbara Bush's philosophy, "Why ruin my beautiful mind with that", but then I think what Barbara Bush gave us....

I could never hate you, and certainly not for such a reason. I'm not trying to push anything on anyone, especially someone who I respect and whose friendship I enjoy.
I understand full well your aversion to the darker elements. I often wonder if they are too harsh. Then a story comes at me of Blackwater troops raping children in the Middle East and I am reminded that some people need to be shown just how bad it is. I have based all the brutality on real events (which makes it harder to ingest, I know). The hot/cold treatment came to me after learning the female IRS agent from America: Freedom to Fascism has been subjected to the same treatment for tax evasion. Sometimes I wish I could look away, but then I feel that I must be strong enough to look and report or it will go unknown, unpunished, down the memory hole.
I have tried to counter this darkness (both in life and in the book) with the fact that there is an equally beautiful and bright love all around us. I have made every effort to show the love that counters hate.
From Chapter 11:
I don't tell you this to convince you to read anything or to watch taser videos or any such thing. Just to tell you that I know. I know it's disgusting sometimes. And so do you. There's no reason to subject yourself to that which you acknowledge and fight against.
Thank you for all you do. You have no reason to feel shame. Be proud that this darkness is abhorrent to you and stirs you to fight it.
In true love and friendship,
-Alan

I enjoyed the first 6 chapters
very much, was thrilled by the originality and creativity. I've been looking forward to reading the next installments, glad to hear it's soon.
I had a sneak peek...
on the next chapters and I can honestly say it keeps getting better! Very creative and relative to much of what is happening now! Really enjoying it!

All The Happy Creatures~ Absolutely Brilliant!!
* I had missed this post ..must have been on vacation when it appeared so I thank Alan for giving me a heads up on it yesterday! This book is going to be the "Animal Farm" of our time! I encourage all to read this. bookmark the site and share this with others!
( Alan, I sent this to your email today)
Hi Alan,
I hope you received my email from yesterday. I finally did get a chance to read the available Chapters 1-6 today and I am blown away by your incredible talent... absolutely magnificant! You have created a brilliant masterpiece of work that I predict is going to be a HUGE success!! I knew it before I even finished Chapter One and now that I have read through to Six... I know for a fact you have created an astoundingly important work of art for our times and for generations to come. I'm anxious to read more... so when you can, please give me a heads up! Do I have to wait until Nov 22?!! You have depicted everything so perfectly and in such a way that I am almost beyond words to praise your incredible imaginative mind and talent! Awesome! Applause! I see this as being a best seller in book form, animated movie and theater. This is the "Animal Farm" for our time and our voice! I love it that the R3volution has been in part an inspiration in this work...and I see you have put the "Love" part into it ..as well as the brutal, chilling reality of what we see happening today (and in the future?)
This part from Chapter One reminded me of the Daily Paul community:
"It seemed to them that as long as Zabu was talking they could go on, they would be able to bear the worst atrocities, they could look into the eyes of evil and know it had beaten them but it had not erased that last bit of dignity and determination each animal kept within."
I just had to write you a quick note upon finishing the first Six Chapters..I'm so very excited about your project and if I can help in any way I will be happy to!
In Liberty and Peace,
Liberty_Belle

I'll help bump
I think there is an audience for people who like horror. ;))
The chapters I read were assaulting me on so many levels.. I could feel the pain, the cold, the hot, the it's too much for me.
You could be correct about Alan's book being a HUGE success, the Exorcist, was another book, I couldn't stomach. and allot of folks loved that book.
I also think Alan's aneme idea is great, and I would probably be better watching thet... I don't know.. I was unable to watch the Exorcist.
Alan deserves to be bumped and his chapters read. I read the first chapter.. I was in pain and a cold sweat. That's GREAT writing when you can move someone like that. And maybe this post I can take the opportunity to make it clear, I am amazed at Alan's talent, and I think he has a good team for the anime project. ALLOT OF TALENT there.
WE ARE GOING TO WIN!
I am going to be relentless about this...
and bump this post everyday until I get some promises that more will read the book so far and see some more feedback on this post! You can tell how enthusiastic I am about this work by my review above! Read Chapters 1-6 and post your comments on this thread!

Moving mountains with Love and Individualism
Excerpt from Chapter 4:
“Love and individualism are not mutually exclusive,” Zabu explained. “When two individuals fall in love, they are not co-dependent, they are each strong in their own right. In fact, they love each other for being who they are. But just as our friendship is a welcome addition to our selves, so is a romantic relationship. In either case, the individual brings their own strength, they do not try to coerce or control each other – there can be no domination, only mutual respect. The collectivists seek to use each other, the individualists work side by side in consensual association. They can do much by themselves and, with a pair of helping hands, they can move mountains.”

I was horrified
I was only able to read a few pages.. I skipped around a bit, and this is what happened to me reading your work.. looking at the project.
I got stuck in the cage with Ummpa I'm not spelling it correctly. But the environment was so ugly, so harsh... it was horrifying. I can't bare to watch a person tazed, I turn those vids off.
I could not be a nurse or a surgeon or a paramedic..
The little I did read, first made me think, maybe if I saw it in anime, because cartoon are exceptionally violent and yet, I can handle the cayote dropping an avil on the road runner at least once and then watch the cayote blow the road runner up with TNT, so I appear to tolerate violence better in 2D.
I get the feeling it's more a Kahil Gibran on bad acid http://books.google.com/books?id=n5BlBsFbGOQC&dq=Kahlil+Gibr... with some HST

I don't know why it didn't print out your book... did print up Sible Edmonds and Brad blogg. Almost twice. What I can read on pdf is printing up something else. Maybe it's just me? Pretty harsh opening...
