How Evil Works: Understanding and Overcoming the Destructive Forces That Are Transforming America
by David Kupelian

Today's most sensational news stories tell of an America that is more polarized than at any time since the Civil War. We find people who are attempting to surgically morph into the opposite gender, celebrities who appear to have everything self-destructing, and increasing numbers of Americans treating mental-emotional-spiritual problems with powerful psychotropic drugs while ignoring the causes of these problems.

In the insightful follow-up of his book, The Marketing of Evil, David Kupelian provides answers to the question, "How did we get into this cultural mess?" He tells us why we elect liars as leaders, what's behind the renewed popularity of paganism, witchcraft and "New Age" religions, and why so many Americans are being labeled "mentally ill."

One aspect of the popular culture that has done an inordinate amount of damage is the promotion of sexual confusion. Men and boys have been emasculated by feminist reprogramming in schools and society, so that men are no longer the creative force that tamed the wilderness, constructed civilizations, produced dazzling inventions, and sacrificed for the protection of women and children.

The mysterious power of hate has been unleashed by terrorists and pacifists to destroy any obstacles in the path of the liberal utopia that is being foisted on the U.S. Labeling any objections to the social engineering agenda as "hate speech" has silenced Judeo-Christian challenges to the evil agenda in order to remake America into a gender-neutral socialist empire.

There is hope; the secret weapon of those defending individual liberty rooted in a transcendent moral code is conscience and objective truth. Few people get their news from printed media anymore. Shining the light of objective truth on the deceptive lies designed to remake our culture by the marketers of evil allows the individual's own conscience to kick in. The way to defeat evil is to let it speak for itself in the light of truth. Where truth is properly honed and targeted, it is sufficient to annihilate the grand seductions.
