Is it too late? Has mind programming in the 21st Century reached the critical point where 'free will' no longer exists? A gotcha comes when you do what you think is best because they have taught you the way to think. So who is doing the choosing? The power elite, from the government to marketers with deep pockets, are not only devouring the plethora of research being carried out to discover why we do what we do, they are also funding it. All with the aim of tweaking your psyche to suit their aims-they can get you to vote in their direction, get you to buy their products, even get you to organize protests and demonstrations that suit their agenda! Engineering consent is accomplished with small nudges added to each other over time. The goal is a long-term objective. So what do you think of our government creating a behavioral nudge squad? How many times has the entire nation been outraged over something they see as a violation of their freedoms, only to forget it a short while later-the new limitations becoming just a part of the normal landscape? How many times have the masses voted strongly in one direction, only to vote in the totally opposite direction just a few years later? Nudges, pushes, manipulation, brain washing, mind control-use whatever term you prefer to use, just understand that you too are a victim of this on a 24/7 basis. To live as free people in a free nation, it is incumbent upon all of us to learn of the techniques being used against us, so we can recognize manipulation when it occurs and thereby protect ourselves. Recent Praise for Gotcha!: 'Where '1984' reached into the future to tell a story of what would happen in the world, 'Gotcha' reaches into the past and explains how they did it without you knowing it.' ~ Richard Rowland, author of Unspoken Message 'Gotcha!: The Subordination of Free Will' is available in both print and ebook formats.

„One Night in Bangkok" gehort zu den großten Hits der Achtziger, aber wahrscheinlich wissen nur wenige, dass er aus dem Musical „Chess" stammt und dass dieser Rap wie auch alle weiteren Songs von den beiden Mannern der Popgruppe ABBA geschrieben wurde. „Chess" („Schach") erzahlt vom Schachspiel der Supermachte: 1972 trafen im islandischen Reykjavik der amerikanische Schachweltmeister Bobby Fischer und der sowjetrussische Herausforderer Boris Spassky aufeinander. Bis dahin ein Nischensport, stand Schach plotzlich im Rampenlicht der Weltoffentlichkeit - dank des vorherrschenden Kalten Krieges, der dieses Ereignis zum Stellvertreter-Krieg zwischen der USA und der UdSSR machte. Knapp neun Jahre spater setzte der Songwriter und Textdichter Tim Rice seinen Plan in die Tat um, anhand dieses Schachwettkampfes ein Musical zu kreieren, das nach einem uralten Theatertrick die politische mit der sportlichen sowie einer sehr privaten Ebene verband. Herausgekommen ist 1984 das Konzeptalbum „Chess" und 1986 die erste Buhnenfassung am Londoner Westend, inszeniert von Trevor Nunn.
