You can find the full story “Amerika in the Sky” here: https://bozlich.wordpress.com/2014/08/29/amerika-in-the-sky-in-memoriam/
As America continues to fall and disintegrate into a horrible maelstrom of broken bits, a demagogue appears amongst the people, claiming he can rectify the situation. Amongst the plans that he puts forward for saving America is counteracting the force of gravity so that all the pieces of America and all the plummeting people will rise back to the sky; reversing the direction of time so that America will return to the ground and the ascent to the sky will never have happened in the first place; building a giant wall that will span from one end of the horizon to the other and that will separate heavens and earth, so that all the pieces of America and the American people will land safely on it; as well as claiming that he has a way to make all the mixed-up broken fragments of America land on the ground in such a way that a new, better version of America will emerge. Half of the falling population lap up these claims hungrily and pledge their allegiance to him, for there’s nothing that a man without hope won’t cling to – as that old proverb says: “A drowning man will grab a snake to save himself from going under.”

Dear Friends, despite the scepticism of some, I have been able to fully justify your view that I am a philosopher of hope and joy.
I am proud and delighted to announce that recently, while attempting to come up with a new proof of the Pythagoras’ Theorem, I serendipitously stumbled across the most beautiful, elegant and ingenious mathematical proof that we are all, in fact, living in Hell.
Consequently, we have nothing at all to worry about as things cannot get any worse and there is no hope for salvation.
People who think that this is hell on Earth are actually extremely inane optimists living in a fool’s paradise, still clinging on to the false hope that things could improve, whereas our real situation is in fact infinitely worse. They should have their illusions demolished by a helpful and gentle pointing out of the error of their beliefs.
People who realize that this is not hell on Earth, but rather that the whole Earth is in Hell are free from any delusional hopes and are in a better position to deal with the realities of life.
I will attempt to render this proof accessible to a layperson some time soon.
