Memoirs Down Under
During a time of deep
contemplation somewhere in South Island Middle Earth, there is an
overwhelming feeling of nostalgia and a burning need to write it all
down and share it with the world. I have been told that my life is
stranger than fiction, and should you choose to read the historical
account of the last 18 years of my travels in the Lumina Diem documentary web site, it may indeed challenge your sense of reality as it most certainly has challenged mine.
Born in the United States of
America, as a child and a young man I was always taught that living in
"The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave" was an honor and a
privilege, and my pledge of allegiance to the flag of my country every
day in school meant more than you could ever know. Imagine my shock and
disbelief as an adult as I climbed the ladder of freedom and justice
for all to restore my stolen rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, even to the US Justice Department and the Office of the
President of the United States, I discovered that for me, freedom and
justice in America ... was all a lie. One simple statement told it all
when the President's attorney said to me, "Of course the US government
is corrupt.... What do you want me to do Harmon, get them all fired?"
Oh how I wanted to believe this was not true, and I wept tears of anger
and anguish at such a harsh reality. However, of this you can be
certain; I have not given up on my basic human right to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness, and it is my greatest hope that there are
many in the United States of America and elsewhere in the world who will join me in the fight for freedom and justice for the entire Human Family.
As I now begin to share my story of
the agony and the ecstasy of the blessings and the curses of this life,
and the hope that I continue to hold for my children and all of the
generations of mankind, I will never give up challenging the hearts of
men and women to stand firm in the belief that we are all a family, and
as such we must always love and support each other across all boundaries
of geography, race, creed, color and every difference that we hold dear
in the diversity of human kind.
In the Tolkien tradition of story
telling from another earthy realm, I will now tell my story from the
point of view of an outsider, dissociating even myself from the
chronology of time to provide an entertaining and revealing tale of this
earthly realm. The name of my life's story is "The Usarian Dream". As
in all good stories, this one begins with my favorite opening that I
always enjoyed hearing as a child, and telling as a father to my own
children .... "Once upon a time ......"
The “Usarian Dream” ….. An E-Book
By Harmon Wilfred
To be continued in a bookstore near you …..
The above biographical prelude is an
e-book progression of twelve introductory chapters to the adventures of
my biographical / historical novel told Tolkien style. I must say,
even I cannot wait to get into the accounts of the continuing
odyssey of my life's story battling government corruption and standing
up to the evil in Usaria to finally win the day and restore my
relationships with my three children. Please drop in often and I will
be providing updates on my progress for the completion of this amazing
story of covert intrigue, international banking and billion dollar
embezzlement, all done in the "interests of national security"; a great
line but a bit overused in Usarian government circles.
In as much as I have always enjoyed
a good story beginning with, "Once upon a time ..... ," I will enjoy
even more when the battle is won and I can complete this biographical
novel with the words of my children's favorite conclusion to every good
story, "And they all lived happily ever after!" Hoping to see you in
Middle Earth!
Warmest regards to you all!
