“Frederick Forsyth was a master story-teller with the thrilling wizardry that holds you spellbound as you flick through pages that lucidly explain to you the dynamics he mustered to urge himself on through plots only he could have drafted. His ODESSA FILE lies between being unputdownable and being unforgettable —a rich and remarkable narrative that could only have been structured by a thaumaturge who works the miracle and magic of gripping storytelling. Had he been a painter, Forsyth would have ridiculed colours with images sidling towards a revolution.”

“These pundits are community leaders of the sort—they validate feelings and provide guidance. Internet Inquisitors position themselves as authority figures and truth tellers; they confirm the mob's hatred, paranoia, and insecurities and directed towards the nearest combustible witch on their radar. They serve as morale boosters, assuring the mob that they are correct, that their path is righteous, and that it's the world that's wrong (or in this case, the person they're offering up as a sacrifice).”

“Many argue that individual action doesn't matter in an issue as global and enormous as the climate crisis. They are wrong. Individual actions matter, but perhaps not in the way you think. You alone will not solve the climate crisis. Neither will I. But if you intentionally live a more sustainable life and connect with your community about your practice of One Green Thing, you can build momentum for culture change to shift policy.”
