These are my two book reviews, one of Assange&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clubof.info\/2014\/09\/re-when-google-met-wikileaks-2014.html\" target=\"_blank\"><em>When Google Met WikiLeaks<\/em><\/a> (2014) and the other of Google&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/dissidentvoice.org\/2014\/10\/googles-cold-betrayal-of-the-internet\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The New Digital Age<\/em><\/a> (2013). In addition to this, I am working on other essays of a different character that will be introduced in later posts, and a new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-text&amp;field-keywords=%22search+beyond+series%22\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Search Beyond<\/em>\u00a0series<\/a> fiction horror story that should be ready in time for Halloween.<\/p>\n<p>In case anyone has noticed the change already, I am doing a bit of re-branding. There&#8217;s no need to worry: you will still be able to find all my work\u00a0under my real name Harry J. Bentham. My chief\u00a0interests\u00a0will continue to be global justice, modernity, futurism, and the value system informed by the internet.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of global justice, <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.38degrees.org.uk\/ttip-eu\" target=\"_blank\">I invite you to sign the anti-TTIP petition aiming to abort\u00a0the hostile, secret TTIP negotiations that aim to privatize the NHS.<\/a>\u00a0I also encourage you to donate to the 38 Degrees campaign linked there, if possible. It is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eff.org\/deeplinks\/2014\/10\/eu-us-trade-negotiations-continue-shutting-out-public-when-will-they-learn\" target=\"_blank\">highly in the public interest<\/a> that this campaign of people-power is successful. Also, share word of this via social media to boost the impact.<\/p>\n<p>With\u00a0my re-branding, I am going to shift to openly using the handle <em>Lordre<\/em> in much of my online publishing, alongside my official pen-name as Harry J. Bentham. Already, I have purchased <a href=\"http:\/\/lordre.net\" target=\"_blank\">lordre.net<\/a> to redirect to my <em>Beliefnet<\/em> blog.<\/p>\n<p>My move to use the handle and name of <em>Lordre<\/em>\u00a0throughout my\u00a0online publishing\u00a0is not intended to undermine any\u00a0brands\u00a0using the same or similar names, primarily\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/lordrecollectif\" target=\"_blank\">a young French collectiv of musical artists called L&#8217;ordre<\/a>. I have observed that no\u00a0other individual author, activist or artist has yet used the name <em>Lordre<\/em>, which leaves it open for my use. The benefits of this will soon become clear.<\/p>\n<p>My move to re-brand my work with the <em>Lordre<\/em> alias will\u00a0take three\u00a0forms. First, I have\u00a0made changes at the newsletters\u00a0I control, stating\u00a0<em>Lordre<\/em> as the owner. These include this <em>Beliefnet<\/em> blog\u00a0<em>L&#8217;Ordre<\/em>, and the two arms of ClubOfINFO Circulation:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.clubof.info\/\" target=\"_blank\">ClubOfINFO<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/maquisbooks.blogspot.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Maquis Books<\/a>. The former is used for circulating nonfiction material, and the latter for fiction material. Second, I will preface all future posts on this blog\u00a0with &#8220;#lordre:&#8221; and sign them <em>Lordre<\/em>. Third, I intend to possibly release future books under the alias <em>Lordre<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to these actions, I will also try to create profiles at several websites using the handle <em>Lordre. <\/em>You can already find me <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/lordre\" target=\"_blank\">using this handle\u00a0at Patreon<\/a>, where you can pledge to support my activities on the blogosphere already with tiny\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=299807&amp;patAmt=1\" target=\"_blank\">monthly $1 donations<\/a> towards all my online content. Already, I dominate the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/lordre?src=hash\" target=\"_blank\">#lordre hashtag on Twitter<\/a> to promote this blog, and I intend to maintain this while increasing my visibility on search engines via &#8220;lordre&#8221; as a search term. I may also initiate\u00a0certain publishing negotiations and networking actions under the alias <em>Lordre<\/em>,\u00a0as I do already at the ClubOfINFO <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clubof.info\/p\/submissions.html\" target=\"_blank\">submission form<\/a>, where you can submit articles for publication.<\/p>\n<p>Above all, I must stress: my use of the name <em>Lordre\u00a0<\/em>is solely for some tentative re-branding. Unlike many other internet writers, I do not hide behind false names. I will continue to publish under my real name as Harry J. Bentham wherever it is suitable and smarter to present a real name and accurate biography.<\/p>\n<p>Keep an eye out for\u00a0<em>Lordre<\/em>, as\u00a0I use this name to re-brand.<\/p>\n<p>Also, in case you haven&#8217;t already taken advantage of the offer, you can still get my novel <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Traveller-Pandemonium-Harry-J-Bentham-ebook\/dp\/B00KOZMCKW\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Traveller and Pandemonium<\/em><\/a> at a discounted price from Amazon this weekend.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">By <a title=\"My file at ClubOfINFO\" href=\"http:\/\/www.clubof.info\/search\/label\/Harry_J_Bentham\" target=\"_blank\">Harry J.
