Dante wondered where to put the angels that supported neither God nor Lucifer when Lucifer tried to overthrow God. These neutral angels were no longer fit for heaven, but nor were they fit for hell. Lucifer certainly didn't want them. Only one place in the universe would accept them - the no-man's land of hell's vestibule, through which the damned must pass to get to hell proper. The vestibule was simply a neutral, dead piece of land between the gate of hell and the river of hell, across which lay hell itself. The neutral angels were trapped for eternity in this neutral ground, rejected by heaven and hell alike. This wasn't the hottest place in hell. In fact, it wasn't really in hell at all. It was the most pathetic and forlorn place in the universe. It was neither one thing nor the other. It was home to no one.

The world is ruled by the rich elite, the 1%, the Ownership Class. How do these people manage to make the 99% do their bidding? That is the greatest magic trick of all.

The German philosopher Hegel gave the best explanation. When the 99% submit to the 1%, it's a reflection of what Hegel called the "master-slave dialectic". Hegel imagined the occasion of the first encounter of two self-conscious beings. Given the savagery of Nature, he imagined they would engage in a struggle to the death. However, it would not play out all the way to the end … one would submit to the other. The one who surrendered would become the slave of the other, who would be the master.

We are locked in the Insanity Wars. The world is not plagued by undead zombies, but by very much alive lunatics. They don't lurch around aimlessly. They busily make fake news, they laugh at experts, they ignore anyone with qualifications, they produce alternative facts and parallel realities. Madness is their trade, and they're very good at it. Derangement is now the most profitable business in the world. If you're not demented, you're not trying hard enough. You need to get out more.

America is having a nervous breakdown. Its national character has fragmented. Americans no longer stand united, and they never will again. They are at each other's throats. What happened? What went wrong?

This is the strange tale of how America is being destroyed by its conflicting character types. Even worse, this is a problem that cannot be resolved. There is no "one-size-fits-all" set of policies that can accommodate character types that seek radically different things. This makes consensual government impossible.

Oswald Spengler, in his apocalyptic masterpiece "The Decline of the West", wrote, "2000-2200: Formation of Caesarism. Victory of force politics over money. Increasing primitiveness of political forms. Inward decline of the nations into a formless population, and Constitution thereof as an imperium of gradually increasing crudity of despotism."

Trump is in the White House. Forget the Culture Wars, the Liberty Wars are about to erupt on the grand, apocalyptic scale.

Do you know the difference between positive and negative liberty? You had better find out fast. They define the world we live in, and the immense conflicts to come.

The most apocalyptic war of all is coming. The battleground of Har Megiddo (Armageddon) is being prepared even now. The war will not be between the forces of good and evil, believers and non-believers, but between the intelligent and the stupid. Intelligent humanity - 10% of the human race - will take on Stupid humanity, the remaining 90% of humanity.

The West is in cataclysmic decline. Most Westerners don't realize it, just as the citizens of the Roman Empire in its last years were barely aware that their way of life was nearing its end. In the famous metaphor of the boiling frog, if you put a frog in tepid water and then slowly bring the water to the boil, the frog will fail to perceive the danger and be cooked alive. Western culture is being boiled bit by bit and no one understands what it is happening.

How can you save a declining culture? What actions must be taken?

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." - H. L. Mencken

The Moronarchy is upon us. Welcome to the Dumbocalypse. The Dumbageddon Conspiracy has finally paid off. Freedumb and Dumbocracy have reached their logical conclusion. How did we get here? We can thank the Dunning-Kruger effect, the most powerful and disturbing force in the world today ... the force of human stupidity, the greatest destroyer and wrecker there has ever been. Come and explore the bizarre world of idiots, of the Confederacy of Dunces, of the Dunciad.

This is that most unusual of things … a philosophical and spiritual novel, a katabasis and nekyia, venturing into the Land of the Dead, into the accursed world, into Capernaum. This is an exploration of Pandemonium, the city of all the demons. This is a journey to the magical Mistletoe world of Doggerland, the once and future realm. It is a Red Book, a chronicle of a descent into madness. It dispenses with many novelistic conventions in order to reach the heart of darkness.

The Mistletoe Murders is a psychological and philosophical murder mystery drawing upon the great Arthurian tales, cast in a Nietzschean light.

Heaven is on the far side of hell. To get there, you must travel through your nightmares. You must confront the profoundest archetypes. Those we have chosen are those of the world of King Arthur.

You feel compelled. To do what? To bridge the gap. What gap? The Information Gap. You need to know why the world seems increasingly unreal. You need to know why the reality principle is fading before your eyes.

What will human beings do when they realize they are in the Matrix, but there is no red pill to let them out? We stand on the verge of the ultimate wars of the human race - the Unreality Wars, the Hyperreality Wars. These wars constitute the true Apocalypse. They are the wars to wipe out truth and meaning once and for all. As Baudrillard said, "We live in a world where there is more and more information, and less and less meaning."
