Hello. This is John Rhodes and this is the chapter entitled: “Terror Amongst the Young”, from my serial podcast novel and free audiobook: “Little Bird Told Me”. Everybody remembers (or doesn’t remember) the magic carpet rides of the 60’s, but what context does it really present itself in? The sixties talk about the proliferation of people riding their carpets looking for religious experiences through drugs, but can we really believe the commercial veneer of some of these supposed revolutionaries. I try to ask the question, “You’ve heard of a Magic Carpet Ride, but haven’t you also heard of the carpet-baggers of the post civil war, who preyed on a southern society that had fallen apart?” In the later years of the hippie movement, the followers of that movement didn’t always find spiritual liberation, but material enslavement. I think it is not very ironic that carpet-baggers who were from the supposedly free North, went South, to keep the Southern states smoldering in corruption. I posit that this is what terrorists, and anarchists want. By anarchy I don’t mean the freedom that God allowed in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve did not carry bombs around to terrorize authority. I don’t want to give away any more of the plot. I’ll let you guess the rest. Let me just add one reminder. You can buy this podcast novel in its full version from www.audible.com for just over 7 dollars, and if you truly appreciate my works, please consider purchasing my audio-book. It is also available from iTunes, and many other locations. It takes you supporting this production to keep this and the other audio-books I plan to put out, coming out, not me fruitlessly hoping that someone will by my book. Please be proactive. Don’t let my publisher drop me. Whatever you do, believe in the one that is us, and the world. There is about 9 more chapters. Enjoy. Peace and Haight!
