"Global Dictator Handbook" is a satirical, dystopian narrative that uses humor to critique the extreme nature of dictatorship. It serves as a cautionary tale about the erosion of freedoms and rights, reminding readers to cherish their freedom and autonomy. This book's exaggerated scenarios and tongue-in-cheek comedy make it a compelling read for those interested in playfully educating themselves and others about the authoritarian regime that openly states its desire to enslave the entire world under the guise of a global credit score. The "triple threat title" that this book offers are: 1. That you will be enslaved by the New World Order. 2. That The New World Order will be overthrown and judged by you. 3. That the God of the Bible has already won every battle and would love your voluntary alignment with his will as the Author and Finisher of all stories. I pray this satire invites you to invite and trust him, who is faithful and proves that he is outside of our time domain by writing history in advance. The biblical prophetic commentary that we eventually run into is that of my best understanding as an author, and I reserve the right to be wrong about everything. I encourage anybody to search out these things for themselves and make their own convictions about biblical, government and world events. Master FEWNU, The personification of the one million billionaires who plan to enslave the 8 billion global residents, is my playful, creative way of personifying the road to hell that was paved by (some) good intentions of people who nobody voted for. Cheers to your playful reverse psychology education!Ver libro
