Press Release Summary = \"The View From Middle Earth\" is a recipe that blends philosophy and social awareness, marinated in outrage and urgency, liberally spiced with Lord Of The Rings allegory and analogy and steeped in the atmosphere of the epic war for Middle Earth.
Press Release Body = The extraordinary world that Tolkien created is usually called fantasy. What then shall we call our current world of smoke, mirrors and illusions where nothing is what it seems? Can you hear the approaching boots of Mordor\'s servants or will you feel them first? These questions and more are the issues Joe Rifici examines in his new website www.TheViewFromMiddleEarth.com
Joe explores current developments in freedom and civil rights, social justice, technology, the financial world, personal and planetary health, spirituality and the unfolding Orwellian geo-political/corporate nightmare. We will delve as deeply as dwarves into the underworld of global issues, attempt to apply the common sense of Sam Gamgee, suggest a bit of Gandalf\'s wisdom and hope. Step back and laugh with some Bombadil perspective and create the feeling of fellowship that Frodo inspired in those around him\".
Joe a musician/writer/activist and Mordor expatriate, explains from the moment of my emigration to New Zealand I began to perceive the Tolkeinesque analogies between my previous and adopted lands. I, and my partner, similarly affected, and similarly well-travelled, saw that this was an actual sample of the Shire. Nearly two decades prior to Peter Jackson's now classic production of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, we fantasized that this was the ideal setting for such a venture - the perfect place to bring a visual interpretation to a wider audience.

Many informed people cynically resign themselves to what they feel is inevitable and to the steady flow of rumours and reports of corruption that come their way as simply the way things are. It is not, however, the way they must or should be.
This story, for better or worse, is our adventure and over the next half-dozen years it will be played out,not on the pages of a literary masterwork, but rather in our hearts and spirits, through our minds, bodies and day-to-day actions. The battle for Middle Earth has begun...
