About the Author

Award Winning Author Patrick Andendall has always had an interest in politics, and being multicultural, he views issues from a more international perspective. In 2004, five days before the election, he flew to Cleveland and pitched in to help with the political process. What he discovered was the dissolution of the American Dream, which he writes about in his book, Stupidparty.

Andendall was educated at English boarding schools from the age of seven through eighteen, the final five years spent at Lancing College. This respected English high school, with its impressive literary and religious heritage, is also known for its stunning chapel, sitting atop the Sussex Downs. Leaving school, he immediately started work, sometimes holding three jobs at once—a trainee underwriter/claim broker at Lloyd’s of London, running his own one-man cleaning company (cleaning the very offices of a reinsurance company he would transact business at), plus doing seasonal work on various farms.

Having made some windfall profits after borrowing money to be a “stag” (short-term speculator)— taking advantage of opportunities created by Margaret Thatcher’s denationalization policies of the mid-1980s—Andendall evolved into an entrepreneur with a core specialty in reinsurance in London and New York, where he looks for patterns in numbers. Self-employed in a field not normally conducive to self-employment, he is able to remain in control, juggle different jobs, travel, and pursue his various interests.

Ending up in New York via romance in the African bush, Andendall now lives on Long Island with his wife, two children, and two dogs.

Objective. The nations collective consciousness understands that we have a huge problem. But being subliminally aware has not prevented the march of the Oligarchs. Many books covering this subject matter have been written by academics and no doubt many academics actually read those books. This book attempts a reboot, take the pieces apart, look under the hood, drill down to the real problem. Ultimately all this drilling leads to the same molten core, the outlet volcano oozing its lava into every crevice, eroding all that is held dear, leaving behind a scarred wasteland.   

By understanding the problem – solutions will materialize. Being aware, subliminally or other wise is not enough. This book is a call to arms. Take responsibility, take action – or you lose the right to grumble about the destruction of democracy in the USA.  

Fact Over Fiction Publishing Ltd mission statement – “to pursue facts over fiction”. Stupidparty Math V. Myth – falls under that objective.

 

Divinely Inspired literary heritage

Evelyn Waugh on Money

Money is only useful when you get rid of it. It is like the odd card in ‘Old Maid’; the player who is finally left with it has lost.

Tim Rice on Religion

“Prove to me that you’re no fool
Walk across my swimming pool. (Jesus Christ Superstar 1970 – Herod’s song)”

Tom Sharpe on Apartheid

From the 1971 Novel Riotous Assembly 
‘Madam,’ interrupted the Kommandant, ‘I am merely trying to help you to obey the law.’ He paused, groping for words. ‘The law says that it is a crime to shoot blacks outside your house. But the law also says it is perfectly permissible and proper to shoot them inside your house if they have entered illegally.’
‘Fivepence was my cook and had every legal right to enter the house.’
‘I’m afraid you’re wrong there,’ Kommandant van Heerden went on. ‘Your house is a white area and no black is entitled to enter a white area without permission. By shooting your cook you were refusing him permission to enter your house. I think it is safe to assume that.’

David Hare  on using ones brain

“Thought is the wind and knowledge the sail.”

Patrick Andendall  on nuance (in his dreams to be in such company)

“Freedoms is Slavery”
(Orwell who?)
