Are you struggling to find meaning in your life? Then you are a victim of the Mandarin Effect. This is one of the most sinister features of the modern world, and is being highlighted here for the first time.

The force that most contributes to the crisis of meaning is the last one you would expect.

Who are the Mandarins and how are they ruining the world? What can be done about them? Who are the small group that can combat the Mandarins, and why have they been airbrushed out of history, as if they never existed?

Come inside and read the extraordinary story of a hidden war that is shaping the destiny of the human race.

Humanity is currently losing. But, thanks to one group, hope is not yet extinguished.

When Orpheus, the legendary musician, poet and prophet, had his head torn off his shoulders and thrown into the river Hebrus, he kept singing as his head was carried along by the strong current. It's impossible to kill off some voices. Sometimes, the dead don't realize they're dead. God is dead, but doesn't know it. His morality is dead with him, but all across the world people still hear morality's ghostly voice and mistake it for something real and objective.

Some people believe that God is the center of the moral universe. In fact, God is not moral at all. In this book, we rationally explore how it is impossible for either God or the Devil to serve any moral role whatsoever.

In the movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", two lovers squabble and fall out. First the woman and then the man decide to avail themselves of a service (Lacuna) that can erase all memories of their relationship, making it seem as if it never happened at all. But one last memory fragment stubbornly remains - one infinitely precious reminder of their love - which predestines them to meet up again and fall in love again.

Freak, monster, Satanist, sicko, weirdo, idiot, Luciferian, demon, defiler, devil, necromancer, coward, creep, cult leader, pathological narcissist, psychopath, predator, pretentious poser, toxic malignancy ... rinse, repeat. The insults for shock artist Morgue come thick and fast. They seek him here, they seek him there, those critics, detractors and knockers seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven? Is he in hell? Is he a fraud? Has he gone rogue? That damned, elusive fiend who belongs in a prison cell. The denigrators are never short of abuse and vitriol for the man they love to hate.

Who is Morgue? Why do so many people loathe him so much? Morgue is no ordinary shock artist. He has now graduated to sinister cult leader, grifting from the weak-minded and vulnerable. To his haters, he's shocking in every way, a shocking human being, a disgrace, an abomination … an actual monster.

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.
