Dear Friends,
It seems to me, Lucifer loves central authority… because it’s so easy to pervert. To that end, those that serve it slander individuality as evil, while blathering that collectivism is good. The faction of central authority has proven it lacks even the humanity to protect little girls from monsters. This shows that they themselves are monsters. Central authority allows an evil faction to dictate what is legal and thus “moral.” Then they can exploit it to their own ends. The people in power, especially unlimited power, can pick and choose what laws to enforce and who to prosecute. Central authority always demands censorship, which protects them from criticism. Even as central planning has always produced economic, humanitarian, and international disaster.
Centralized authority must become corrupt. The more centralized the power the greater the incentives to corruption. This is because people are human beings. Even those in power. They are just as flawed as you or I, and in many cases much more flawed. So, take a flawed human being and put them in a position where they can enrich themselves, have their dark wants met, and exploit the power of the State to cover it up… and what do you think most people will do? Add this to the fact that merit and limited government are mercilessly libeled by the establishment, because they are a threat. The incentive structure is pretty nasty… and forceful. Even a saint dropped in a cesspool will smell like it sooner or later. That is what centralized authority is… it’s a cesspool of incentives.
Law is the incarnation of the State’s morality. What is legal is, in the eyes of the State, moral, and what the State deems illegal is in the eyes of that State, immoral. Moreover, the State must feel pretty strongly since it commits to spending huge amounts of money to enforce that law. Given the commitment that each new law represents, the moral incentive to pass them must be at least as strong. Unless the reason is self-enrichment. Even in that case, the effect is moral. The self-enrichment is moral because it is lawful. Meanwhile, actually moral acts are outlawed, like feeding the downtrodden. This shows that actual morality and State morality are fundamentally different. It’s confusing the two that gives Lucifer an opening. Central planning allows it to pervert actual morality into its opposite.
Those that serve it then can claim they need to censor. From their high horse they can punch down all day while claiming punching up is immoral, and so is criminal. They decide what is called misinformation, disinformation, or wrongspeak. We are then obligated to follow that dictate or else face jail. Law allows Lucifer to control what is considered moral and immoral, and censorship eliminates the need to justify or rationalize it to the people. Moreover, debate can be called a non-crime hate incident, and is punishable by a few years in Belmarsh. This establishes that the ability to silence the good is one of the reasons Lucifer loves central planning. That’s the same reason why those that serve it so detest individuality, free markets, and freedom. Such things dis-empower it.
Real evil requires marshaling others to it. Oh, there are monsters among us who do monstrous things, but they are few and their ability is limited. It takes the power of an unlimited State to get real evil done. As in Tamerlane’s slaughter of Hindus, the Young Turks genocide of the Armenians, or the creation of a virus that killed millions worldwide. Those are evils that individuals are incapable of. No wonder Lucifer so loves central authority… it allows the greatest of evils to be inflicted on mankind. Meanwhile, individuality, limited government, and free enterprise undermine centralized authority. This means, if you want Lucifer to have more power, central authority is your go to. If, on the other hand, you want to weaken Lucifer’s grip on this world, limited government is your only option.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
