Exterminations in Progress
Under several respects, my book “Exterminations” is an experiment. A completely self-made book: no publishers, no editors, no promotion. And not even someone famous writing the foreword. As far as I know (confirmed by various AIs), this is the only book in commerce that has a preface written by a Reptilian (*).
So far, I think I can say it has been a success. Despite not being promoted,it sold 80 copies in English in one month (and, if you like to know, nine copies in Italian).
What pleases me most are the several positive comments I received, privately or in the form of reviews. Here is a message from Michael Pilarski, reproduced here with his kind permission. Incidentally, the conference he is organizing looks like a very interesting one.

Hello Ugo,
I will be writing to you further about next May's Global Earth Repair Conference.
But this email is to thank you for writing your book Exterminations. I recently purchased a copy and read parts of it. I didn't have the time to go cover to cover, but it is an eye-opening book, and one that more people in the world should read to hopefully forestall more genocides taking place. The current one in Palestine is shocking the world, but they seem to be getting away with it, although it may end up toppling the country economically and has hurt their standing in the world.
I noted your writing at the end of possible deliberate going after older middle-class people, which Covid seems to have done quite well. The possibility of biological warfare aimed at certain parts of the world population is all too scary.
Best wishes in your activities,
Michael "Skeeter" Pilarski
Global Earth Repair Foundation

Just read this. Myself, I am hoping for racoons. Typical mammalian bias.

I just made your sales count increase by one. Kindle version only because I don't feel the need to have a physical book, and it is a ton cheaper. I am looking forward to the read, I have rarely disagreed with your points of view and I doubt if this one will be any different. As soon as I finish, I will tot out a review.
I have been thinking about the phrase in your blurb on Amazon: "Blaming exterminators is not enough: " But since I have recently hauled out my ancient and battered copy of E.O Wilson's and W.H. Bossert's, "A Primer of Population Biology", I am coming around to the idea that what you refer to as a "extermination" is just a rough and ready version of inevitable population decline.
Being among the living, we tend to think that death is the enemy. But it is something everyone has to look at. When I was born, this planet of limits mustered around 2.4 x 10(9) human critters. According to google, we are now at 8.025 x 10(9). I have not noticed any increase in net natural resources or good farmland during that process. Nor have I noticed an appreciable increase in human potential.
Best numbers that I can see is that the sustainable human population tops out at around 3 x 10(9). I think that perhaps, and this is of course a matter of style and point of view, is that the "extinction" you are assigning blame to is baked in and appears to me to be a natural endpoint.
I suppose that, in light of the pronounced increase in the use of hyperbolic language in the political world, I am being pedantic when I ask awkward questions about assigning words to real world events. Spectrums in meaning exist. There are no precise words to define disgusting events. clearing operations, ethnic cleansing, genocide and extinction are all descriptions that can be applied.
You and I are of an age and a cohort that will not see the endpoint of all this process of achieving a stable ecology. I think that I am going to appreciate the views of Meuianga Mera Te Aì 'Enge'ite,
