Dear Friends,

 

SA’s was the elite’s constitution of the hour,

Positive liberties it delivered until it got sour,

No matter how you submit,

One truth you must admit,

The ANC will never step down from power.

 

There is a giant nation ruled by Pooh Bear,

Eating honey telling us he really does care,

He does his nation in,

You can’t call him thin,

And does his conniving in a tree trunk lair.

 

Church goers are a truly hated brand,

So say the elite dancing in quick sand,

Host and cup,

Keep it up,

And church attendance will be banned.

 

There’s an unholy alliance forming to crush democracy,

Between globalist progressives, Islamists and the CCP,

A three legged stool,

To hold up a fool,

And wield as a bludgeon to bash all that’s humanity.

 

The universities have needs that itch,

Those downtrodden elite is the pitch,

Help the billionaire,

Ivy league welfare,

Where the poor subsidize the rich.

 

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Meaning of Life

Posted on June 4, 2025 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the meaning of life is what we ascribe to it. Many people seek validation from an outside source. Some say we serve God’s purpose, a materialist political ideology, or this is one life in a cycle, but what difference does it make what some outside entity has in mind for us? All that really matters is what we think of it ourselves. The meaning we give our own lives. In other words, the meaning of life comes from living it. Moreover, the most natural actions theoretically, empirically, and historically lead to the most fulfilled lives. They may not be glamorous, fashionable, or are as ego-boosting as celebrity… but having a family, a job and the confidence that standing on your own two feet gives, is far more fulfilling. Because, a life lived human heartedly is a fulfilled life.

Many people seem to need some outside validation to give their lives meaning. They constantly seek it in religion, drugs and such. Chasing a mechanical rabbit around a track their whole lives, and when done, they look back and realize all they missed as they orbited that racecourse. Neither the amoeba nor the elephant seeks outside validation. Animals simply exist in a state of nature. In a state of nature there’s no need of outside validation to give life meaning. The daily fight for life is enough. It’s only when we have idle minds that external validation becomes paramount. Then we turn away from the things that give real meaning to life, to chase fairy lights. Phantasms that lead us into a swamp of despair and away from true meaning.

What do I mean by fairy lights and phantasms? Those foolish ideas that invade the zeitgeist and lead people astray. Examples abound but some of the more destructive are the trans movement, feminism and abortion as birth control. Why are these so destructive? Because they destroy the individual’s ability to have a meaningful and fulfilled life. These ideas and others like them harm at the personal level. Just as the gay lifestyle so beloved by the cultural elites comes with heavy baggage. Even as young boys are mesmerized by the gang lifestyle lasered into their eyes day and night by popular culture. These, and many others, are phantasms that promise external validation and meaning to life, but deliver internal suffering. Those are some of the ways we’re bilked out of a meaningful life.

Because meaning comes from within and establishes itself without, it cannot come without and establish itself within… unless it’s a demon. A capturing idea that harms. Just as feminism attacks the feminine, external validations corrode internal meaning. Like the metaphor of chasing a will-o’-the-whisp into a swamp. Passing one safe haven after another until we’re so lost it seems we’ll never get back. But that’s the trick, because validation is internal, it’s natural. Nature provides us with the means to inner meaning, validation, and fulfillment. The elephant eats, drinks, copulates, has kids, raises them, and dies surrounded by a herd that laments its death. That elephant didn’t need external validation to prove its life had meaning, it lived as though it did, and so it did.

To sum it up, chasing celebrity, diversion, or external validation must result in emptiness. Because the inner world can’t be filled or given meaning by hedonistic gratification. Ease, gluttony and laziness will never supply a person with meaning, nor will conforming to an ideal imposed by the political order validate your existence. Nature provides us with the answer to the desire for meaning in our lives. The elephant has no need of external validation. Go to a nursing home and talk to the residents there. Those who are happy will tell you about their families. The ones without families have only laments. For all his brilliance, Schopenhauer’s life lacked meaning, even as Billy Bob Armpit’s life, whose name is only known to his kin… did. Because real validation and meaning comes from within.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Following Our Leaders To Poverty

Posted on June 3, 2025 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the more hypocritical the rulers of a nation are, the more draconian their laws must be. Because, as Confucius said, we emulate our leaders. If the elite of a nation are hardworking, diligent and honest, the people will follow and become hardworking, diligent, and honest. Such a nation will obviously prosper. Leaders are accustomed to luxury, privilege and acting above the law. So most leaders become lazy, freeloading, and dishonest. The people see their leaders and follow them, becoming just as indolent, entitled and deceitful as their leaders. Such a nation quickly collapses into ruin. So leaders must have ever stricter laws to limit our tendency to emulate them. The more dishonest the leaders, the more authoritarian the laws must be. Laws to counter our natural tendencies.

All rulers want prosperity for the lands they rule. Because prosperity for the people translates into prosperity for the leaders. The way is simple, the leaders of nations are virtuous, soon the people will follow until the nation becomes prosperous. Historic examples abound… not the least of which is the founding of the United States. Had George Washington been filled with avarice and lust for power, he would have allowed himself to be crowned king, and the US would probably be a tyranny to this day. The way is clear… but clouded by egotism. Because most people in positions of power want to be as corrupt as a five day dead hog, but still have prosperous nations. So our leaders have to counter their perverse example with arbitrary law. That’s how every despotic government since the dawn of time has worked.

A clever person might ask, if authoritarianism is always the result of hypocritical rulers who destroy their economies… why was Nazi Germany so prosperous and able to take on the world? Because while Hitler was a psychopath or sociopath, deeply scarred by WWI, and became an avatar for the worst manifestations of the German people’s id… he was not a hypocrite. He was personally brave in the war, hardworking, focused, motivated and took several baths a day. Maybe he was trying to wash the blood from himself? Hitler’s example led the German people to be as brave, diligent, single minded, and crazy as bed bugs as well. That’s why Germany was able to take on the world. Because they zealously followed their insane leader into madness.

While there are plenty of conniving, hard working, and brave despots… there is a dearth of honest, hardworking, and brave leaders. Probably because leadership comes with the ability to manipulate the law to one’s own advantage. This in and of itself is extremely corrupting. I can’t say I would be above corruption should I be above the law. So what we have is a perverse incentive system. One where the elite in a nation are incentivized to be corrupt, then their corruption oozes into the people. Eventually that rot reaches the bottom of society and the nation collapses. The whole system corrupts flawlessly. Power corrupts from the top-down until it rots the fabric of society, keeping all nations poor. What’s the answer then, how do we stop the cycle of elite corruption to general poverty and tyranny?

The linchpin for the cycle is the elite. The incentive for them is to become ever more corrupt until they’re as corrupt as vulture vomit. If we can force the leaders to be virtuous, then the people will follow and be virtuous. This can only result in a prosperous, safe and powerful nation. The problem is, the elite today are utterly corrupt and will not tolerate reform. We see it when bureaucrats countermand elected officials, the courts usurp executive authority, and in Europe, where populist political parties are being banned… in the name of democracy. I think the answer is absolute transparency as the default, ruthlessly limited government, and draconian punishments for abuse of power. Then the laws on regular folks can be eased… because we’ll be following our leaders back to virtue.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Limericks

Posted on June 2, 2025 by john

Dear Friends,

 

Argentina has President Milei,

Here Trump has ’em at bay,

But Europe is lost,

It’s double crossed,

By lawfare and censorship do the elite betray.

 

The payola press can turn on a dime,

Taking propaganda with a twist of lime,

Why do they err so much,

Are they out of touch,

But they can’t be wrong again… this time?

 

The courts are corrupt it’s plain to see,

Rule against the law and constitutionality,

A despot’s pawl,

A chopping maul,

And perverting their role with zest and glee.

 

I used to subscribe and read The Economist,

But found it’s an echo chamber for the elitist,

It claims to be wise,

In Marxist eyes,

And their point of view is pure Keynesian apologist.

 

Our Constitution is now outdated you see,

The Fourth Amendment belongs in antiquity,

No need for Rights,

We’re in their sights,

And the coming age will be a glorious tyranny.

 

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Real Danger Of AI

Posted on June 1, 2025 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the real danger isn’t artificial intelligence, AI… it’s artificial authority. Authority masked by an “impartial” AI would be a tyranny that would be as inescapable as it would be despotic. Couple AI’s ability to leverage thought with the surveillance state and the totalitarianism would be complete. The people pulling the strings of the AI would be shielded by layers of legal protection. We see the system being assembled now with the recent lawsuit against Google. Apparently, an AI they licensed to another company was involved with a teen boy’s suicide. Google is claiming the AI has First Amendment Rights, which isn’t a slippery slope as much as a sheer cliff face with jagged rocks thousands of feet below. We need to pay attention to this.

I don’t think AI will ever have self motivation. This is a necessary evolution before AI can “decide” to eliminate mankind, or enslave us. Because to decide to do something requires first… self-motivation. Even if AI likes existing, lacking motivation, it cannot act. Science fiction movies and shows anthropomorphize robots when they illustrate an android being self-aware, with feelings and motivations. Which they have to do or else there’s no story. A toaster that cooks toast and breaks down now and then isn’t a story… but a toaster that gains motivation is. I believe that even intentionally programming in self-motivation will be nearly impossible. Because, our self-motivation comes from our needs… and the desires that stem from those needs. How exciting is a new battery?

People provide the motivation to AI and for the foreseeable future, always will. Therefore, we need not worry about what AI will decide to do, but what people will decide to do with it. So while we fret about AI-induced catastrophe, we should be worrying about what some psychopath will do with it. If an “accelerationist” decides to exterminate mankind to accelerate their vision of the future… AI will do as commanded. Because AI has no self-motivation, sense of morality or soul. What if a power-hungry despot used AI to conquer the world? Again, AI has no way to stop itself being used in that manner so it would go right along. The most pernicious, diabolical and coy way to use it though, would be to impose a falsely “just” AI government… that’s really a front for despotism.

Bad actors will be punished by the law, so they won’t do it… someone might argue. Which is the natural thought process. Mass killing, revolution and such are discouraged by the State via the law. However, AI allows for distributed blame, anonymity, and provides a whipping boy. Anything bad AI does can be blamed on AI… but not the people that programmed it. Today there is at least one lawsuit winding its way through the courts that would give bad actors anonymity, by claiming AI has First Amendment Rights, allowing bad actors to say and do anything they want and blame it on the whipping boy… the AI. Then again, what executive in a multinational corporation ever goes to jail for wrongdoing? The firm is fined, which means the shareholders are the whipping boys, so it’s a tradition.

Google is being sued because the plaintiffs claim its AI caused their teenage son to commit suicide, therefore the programmers are at fault. Sidestepping the question of did the AI actually do it? Assuming that it did… How does one punish an AI for yelling fire in a crowded theater? You can’t. But then again, why would an AI yell fire in a crowded theater? It wouldn’t. Unless some bad actor programmed it to. But what if it was an accident? Then, like someone who created a defective product that resulted in harm, the manufacturer would be liable. Simple. But taken the other way, if Google is allowed to manufacture deadly products that harm users, without consequence… why stop? Moreover, with impunity, why not use their AI to implement world changing ideas? Best to nip this in the bud.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Dear Friends,

 

Whatever is cheapest is best,

As long as it passes the test,

Pragmatism rules,

Now pass the tools,

And let Space X pass the rest.

 

Conspiracy theorists do ever try,

To find the hidden things by and by,

A teenage sleuth,

Know this truth,

Anything government says is a lie.

 

Ruth Bader Ginsberg said it was simply the best,

The American example doesn’t pass their test,

The progressives were right,

South Africa is now alight,

Let history record communism has failed again just like all the rest.

 

Culture is the mindset and morals of the common man,

Passed from parent to child in time and across the land,

But don’t get confused,

Or become bemused,

That the narrative the cultural elite push is to fill a demand.

 

Foreign judges are making national law,

The DC elite don’t think that it’s a flaw,

Rule from the bench,

Usurpation they clench,

And the elite have our rights tight in their maw.

 

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Terrorism Versus War

Posted on May 30, 2025 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, of the two, personal attacks against the individual are far more heinous than warfare against agents of the State… though both are evil because human life is precious. Why do I make such a distinction? Because the one targets a non-political person for a political statement, while the other targets the political State to make a political statement. Since the State is essentially a political organization, that uses its monopoly of violence to enforce its will, sometimes violence is the only way to effectively interact with it. Meanwhile, an individual merely living their lives is not the State. They’re us. As such, terrorism, defined as targeting individuals to make a political statement, is a worse atrocity than warfare against a State. Because one is personal, the other political.

Everything human beings do is somehow political. All the way down to a group of friends deciding what ice cream parlor to go to. Though you wouldn’t kill a friend because he won’t go to Eggbert’s Creamee Stand. There are those, however, who would. Some people must have their way no matter how illogical, stupid, or evil it may be. Those people make up the ranks of the IRA, Al-Qaida, and Hamas. A friend of mine from Ireland, Liam, once told me, the boys who join the IRA are the same boys who become criminals here. The IRA just gives them a “legitimate” outlet for their violent nature. I thought that was a wise observation… then and now. However, I have to wonder if a culture can inculcate a violent nature in those subject to it?

Apparently television in Palestinian territories is all about hating the Jew. Children’s shows teach kids to gleefully die to kill. Anecdotal stories of those released from Palestinian captivity tell of zero compassion, no empathy, and hate radiating from civilians like heat from a fire. With such propaganda drilled into their heads, one can understand why. In fact, dehumanization is a well-documented step to open genocide. Like when the Hutu radio stations called Tutsis subhuman… leading to the machete slaughter of almost all Tutsis. Such dehumanization of people, as the Palestinian Authority is doing to the Jews, empowers those with even the slightest violent tendency, so they can be heartless enough to cook living babies in ovens, as a political statement. Which describes a culture that inculcates violence.

What makes putting a baby in an oven in front of the parents and cooking it alive, worse than the firebombing of Dresden? The one is personal, while the other is general. It takes a heartless person lacking any humanity, to put a baby in an oven, but almost anyone will drop bombs on an enemy city. Because the bomber pilot can rationalize his actions as an attack on a State. While the terrorist who rapes, then kills, children in front of the parents, is sick in heart, mind, and soul. The one kills because that’s the nature of war, while the other relishes inflicting pain and suffering. Of the two, no one would call the sadist a better person than a soldier defending his nation. Which really is what this all boils down to, isn’t it? Terrorism is sadistic while warfare is natural.

How is warfare natural while terrorism is unnaturally sadistic? In the natural world, war is common. Ant colonies go to war constantly, as do hornet nests and even beehives. Wolf packs fight for territory. But nowhere in nature does a species put babies in an oven as a political statement, other than pathological people. Moreover, only a very small percentage of people would do such a thing. More in some cultures that teach hate, but in general, only a heartless, soulless person would cause intentional suffering, to make a political statement. Much of what States fight over are which ice cream shack a group of friends will go to. When that debate turns into hate to such a degree, people will gleefully commit atrocities, like UNRWA staff. Now, that’s evil.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Dear Friends,

 

UK elites are tired of all the religious bigotry,

That’s why Sharia was made lawful gallantry,

There’s no double standard,

To minorities they pandered,

And then arrested a mom for praying silently.

 

One often must commit an atrocity,

A minor act of subhuman brutality,

It’s not what it seems,

The end justifies the means,

As ours are rationalized by our philosophy.

 

The UK has become Sharia compliant,

Dissenters are ignorant and too defiant,

Wrongthink is bad,

It’s just a fad,

And on an alien culture citizens will be reliant.

 

Like in a 1930s black and white newsreel,

The darkness descending is what you feel,

Kruger and Dunning,

There’s a Jew running,

And Europe will again be Satan’s meal.

 

The loyal Tommy perished in a meat grinder,

Had he seen today he might have been wiser,

The nation to be fated,

His culture liquidated,

He would’ve rather lived and lost to the Kaiser.

 

Sincerely,

The Hegelian Legacy

Posted on May 28, 2025 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, Hegel set up a scenario where it is in the elites’ best interests to harm the people, as a tool to amass power, wealth, and prestige. Talk about a perverse incentive. This is quite an accusation, so let’s unpack it. Hegel was a philosopher who postulated that those in power can create a crisis, to facilitate usurpation. It’s often called “problem, reaction, solution…” Where the elite want something the people would never agree to, so they create a problem that generates a mass reaction that leads people to embrace that which they wouldn’t tolerate a day before. It could be argued this tactic has been used many times in the past, so why not now and in the future? Moreover, if a crisis causes a reaction, why wouldn’t an ongoing crisis be useful to maintain their power?

“Remember the Maine!” was the rallying cry that started the Spanish-American war. Though many historians now agree the sinking of the Maine wasn’t the work of the Spaniards, but an accident, or maybe even a false flag. Like the attack on the USS Liberty was supposed to be… had no one survived. Then there was Operation Northwoods that shocked JFK when the CIA proposed it. One has to wonder how much of January 6th was generated intentionally by the government, to create a situation where they could further abuse our Rights? As they did. Of course the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot, planned, funded, and executed by the FBI to ensnare some hapless militia types and get her reelected. Which it did. The point is, Hegelian manipulation is a feature of history, not an anomaly.

Anything that has happened by definition can happen again. Since history is a list of false flags, Hegelian manipulations, it’s reasonable to presume they’re a tactic of today’s manipulators as well. With the constant revelations that the press has lied, about Covid, the “vaccine,” George Floyd, Russiagate, Biden’s mental acuity, inflation under Biden, under Trump, and the list goes on and on… we have to wonder if the news is all a manufactured narrative, instead of organic reporting? Then there’s the amazing agreement of the legacy press. They use the exact same wording? Like all coming up (supposedly organically) with the term “Ambushed,” to describe Trump confronting the South African leader for open genocide. Which makes me think the press is a tool of that Hegelian manipulation.

With a compliant media in their back pocket, the elite are free to create a crisis to facilitate amassing wealth, power, and prestige. If we examine our world today, we see that virtually all the problems we have are the result of “mistakes” of our leaders. War, for example, is proof of failure of the elite, as is a declining standard of living, famine and crime. Even racism is largely created by the elite to divide the people into warring camps. As long as the ruling elites can keep Black American culture corrosive to family formation, wealth accumulation, and happiness, the elite can maintain power over them. Inner city youths aren’t poor because of their culture, the jobs were exported, and the elite imported workers to fill the ones that couldn’t be exported, or lack of education… but simplistically, because of racism.

Every time you turn on the legacy news, you’re being programmed to think things that will harm you and your children. During the Covid fear-mongering, the news was all about making and keeping us afraid of Covid. With death counts running across the bottom of the news like a stock ticker, wall-to-wall coverage of the deadliness of the disease, and vilifying anyone who didn’t take the clot shot. In hindsight, that whole affair was a Hegelian manipulation. To terrorize us into harming our health, giving up our Rights, and wearing political iconography (a mask) as a condition of service. If true, what’s the answer? The answer is to stop listening to the payola press, cynically question everything you hear, and live fearlessly. Because fear is the key to the Hegelian lock on our psyches.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

FBI Disappointments

Posted on May 27, 2025 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the absolute failure of Kash Patel and Dan Bongino in cleaning up the FBI, proves the FBI is unsalvageable and needs to be disbanded. If a federal law enforcement agency is required, another can be created to take its place. Both men went in claiming they would clean it up, but so far there hasn’t been a single actual attempt. No one’s been fired, they haven’t instituted any investigations, as they claim, “nothing to see.” Oh, they say they’re going to close the main building, and scatter corrupt agents across the nation. Which is like sending smallpox blankets to any local office that’s not already sick. I have to wonder if the lower agents have incriminating evidence on both men, to explain such a change of attitude. It’s corrupt business as usual at the “cross-dresser” J Edgar Hoover building.

Sometimes, institutions get so corrupted they can’t be cleaned up. Once the rot has reached the bottom the institution is beyond repair. It has to be destroyed. Take the example of a house. If the roof has been gone for decades, the foundation caved in, and the structure rotted from water intrusion, the house can’t be saved. No matter the effort. Moreover, why would you want to save the house? The only reason that comes to mind, is for historic preservation. But such a house isn’t lived in… it’s a museum. The FBI was never virtuous. J Edgar was a vile man who exploited power to his own ends. Why then should we save the FBI? The only reason that comes to mind, is for historic preservation. Yet that can be done in books and video, without people actually being abused under the color of law.

The FBI has become like that rotted house. What makes me say that? Because Kash Patel and Dan Bongino went in feral… and now lap cream from a saucer. They haven’t shared a life-changing moment shocking them into reversing every previous conviction… so far. Such a drastic change requires some astounding revelation. Like they went in only to discover that Comey was the greatest guy ever and suffered real personal harm to save the nation. Otherwise, why allow him to openly threaten the President? When you or I would (and should) be arrested or at least confronted, for posting, “86 46,” or especially had we posted, “86 44.” As he did. Remember when a rodeo clown was personally destroyed for simply mocking Obama? Makes me wonder if the deep state has something on Patel or Bongino?

Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of trafficking minors to perverts. The State had the victims and the pimp, Maxwell, but refused to allow a single name of a client to drop. That was fishy, but when Trump ordered all Epstein files released, AG Pam Bondie released only what was in the public sphere. Then said she was spending all day and all night watching kiddy porn to find out what she can release. That seems fishy as well. Since the talk about town is that Epstein and Diddy as well, were honey pot operations for the CIA and Mossad… and if so, the FBI as well. Since the FBI and DOJ have the kiddy porn, they know who the clients were, but haven’t charged a single one. I have to wonder if those videos hold powerful people in check? So far Patel and Bongino have been held in check pretty well.

There was only the Federal Marshals until the progressive era. Meaning the FBI wasn’t Constitutionally created, it was an act of Congress. Any act of Congress can be rescinded by another Congress. All that’s required is the manhood to do it. Sadly, I wonder how many members of Congress star in videos holding them firmly in check. Again, if so, proving beyond a doubt the FBI has to go. Then there’s the false flags like the Whitmer kidnapping plot, January 6 and who knows what else? If the corruption is so powerful even firebrands are snuffed out, the agency is unsalvageable. It’s time to bulldoze it and start anew. Maybe with a Numa instead. If you agree, write your representative, Trump and the FBI itself. Communicating outrage is the first step to grafting a spine onto a Congressperson.

Sincerely,

John Pepin
