So who is Astra F. d'Oudney? Who is Felicity?
Here's the backstory: On September 3, 2015 someone named
Astra F. d'Oudney posted a review of the Kindle version of Tyranny Fighters: The Julian Heicklen Chronicles on Amazon.co.UK. I
didn't find it until a month later. I
took a screen shot and posted it here on October 4 along with a couple of other
recently discovered reviews.
Several months later I stumbled across a review of the
paperback version on the American Amazon site written by Felicity. I began reading it and it sounded awfully
familiar. In fact, the review was identical to Astra F. d'Oudney's
review and it was also posted on September 3, 2015.
Curiosity compelled me to combobulate this discombobulation. Turned out Astra and Felicity were one in the same young lady. One email lead to another to another to another to an interview to an article to a posting on Libertarian News Examiner.
Astra Felicity
d'Oudney, English living in France, reading The Julian Heicklen Chronicles
Here's a question and answer I asked her about Julian and my
book. The whole interview with links to her music and freedom activism is here:
ME: You mentioned
"trial by jury" and you also wrote a very positive five-star review
of the book Tyranny Fighters: The Julian
Heicklen Chronicles. How did you become acquainted with the American jury
rights activist Julian Heicklen?
Astra: Some of
our campaign members are also members of FIJA [Fully Informed Jury Association]
stateside. We hear from them with newsy items. When Julian’s campaign outside
courthouses got under way we wrote to congratulate him on his stand. Julian
included us in his regular circulars which became the substance of your
Heicklen Chronicles book which we bought and endorsed on Amazon. You are to be
thanked for bringing out that book which documents tyranny, a crime at
definitive common law. This crime is routinely committed through and by the
courts. What a truly fine example Julian is to us all.
