Limericks

Dear Friends,

 

There once was a socialist Bernie,

In Plainfield he started his journey,

He stole firewood,

Lived like a hood,

And became the millionaire of which he was so worried.

 

While the elite cheer our soon demise,

They order us not to believe our eyes.

Laughingly they say,

You won’t go away,

As our servitude the elite do normalize.

 

There once was a genius named Jordan,

Often doing battle with a political gorgon,

He said with a smile,

It may take awhile,

But right thought and action leads to good fortune.

 

There once was a media you couldn’t beat,

Speaking as one they ruled by copy sheet,

Evacuated in their food,

I don’t want to be rude,

But everyone knows you don’t poop where you eat.

 

There’s one thing we all do know,

Taxes empower despotism’s show,

Thrasymachus had sight,

Wrong is now right,

And unrealized gain can’t be allowed to grow.

 

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Waste, Fraud And Abuse

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, it takes a special kind of zealot to defend government waste, fraud and abuse. One with no self-awareness, or an entertainer type whose reputation is that of an entertainer, or paid shill, not a serious pundit. The legacy media had a reputation of honesty. As did the courts. They savaged that like a Bobcat does a goose. The golden eggs have stopped but the goose made a great meal. Now the same people that gaslit us for decades, abused us under color of law, and have lost all credibility for it, demand we pretend they can be trusted. I do give them some sympathy though, imagine having to defend waste, fraud and abuse, to those whose money is wasted, the victims of fraud and people who are abused? Shredding any mote of trust they may still have, and thus, their business model.

I’m not sure defending waste fraud and abuse is organic nor authentic. Put another way, those who are defending waste, fraud and abuse, would not tolerate it in their own lives. Yet they expect us to tolerate our money wasted, us being defrauded and abused by the courts under color of law? That’s hypocrisy. No hypocrite should ever be taken seriously. Even a Pharisee. Because the hypocrite always uses hypocrisy to lower, never to elevate. Even if the message sounds good. Therefore following a hypocrite leads to disaster. Take the examples of Mao, Stalin and Marx, each the acme of hypocrisy. Leading their followers to hell on Earth. Moreover, the hypocrite can’t be authentic, our authentic self is in our actions, not our rhetoric. Even as organic ideas come from within, and aren’t bought and paid for.

We know the legacy media took payola from the government because DOGE exposed it. USAID was giving money to the main stream media literally for “mass deception.” Which suggests the strident defense of waste fraud and abuse indeed, isn’t intuited, but a product. A product like advertising, that’s sold to fund the enterprise. The other parts are to increase the profitability. Attributes like trust, honesty and good intentions, merely increase the profitability of propaganda. The more viewers who trust a media organization then, the greater the profitability of their propaganda. Which is the incentive for them to demand censorship, thought laws and licenses to speak… profit. It’s their business model. The mouth of Sauron will always have a voice. It’s the whistle blowers who will be silenced.

We used to have great confidence in our courts. US courts were known around the world as a bastion of fairness. That, of course, was all a lie. US courts as well as all courts, operate on political favor… not justice or law. From the New York courts abusing Trump under color of law, to Delaware courts abusing Elon Musk, and even Texas and Connecticut courts abusing Alex Jones under color of law, in plain sight, our courts have proven they are the mouths of Sauron. Not arbiters of justice or law. Today the courts are openly usurping the role of the Executive. In open violation of the plain wording of our Constitution. And they do it with impunity. Judges and prosecutors have ruled they are above the same laws they impose on others. Totaling their reputations.

As you and I struggle to make ends meet, we’re told by the media and courts, we have no right to know how the government spends the money it takes from us at gun point. Don’t believe taxes are taken at gun point? Try not paying and see if armed men don’t show up at your door. The threat is implicit. So we have courts and a media that claims unelected bureaucrats wasting our money is of no concern of ours. We should accept the administrative state abuse of us and our trust. Fraud in government is for our good. Yet those are clearly self serving lies. Foisted on us by paid shills, people who killed the goose that laid the golden egg, by defending waste, fraud and abuse, and ruining their reputations because of it. This is a lesson in organizational seppuku.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Transparency & Accountability

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the solution to all the worlds problems, are transparency and accountability. I offer that every problem faced by mankind today is of our own making. The only reason for hunger are regulations, grift and war. Tyranny, well, that’s obviously of our own making. Why is there mass migration? Because of poor governance. We have solved all the major diseases of mankind, so USAID spent forty million dollars to create some new ones. If there’s a shortage of housing you can bet rent control and regulation are behind it. A lack of career opportunities in a formerly industrialized nation is because of intentional deindustrialization. Any problem you can think of is man made. Created by elites in governments. Which can then be solved by transparency and accountability.

Government is sold to us as the solution, but in reality its the problem, or at least the source of the problems. Many people honestly believe government has a valid role to play in helping people improve their lives… despite all the evidence to the contrary. Instead of elevating people out of poverty, welfare traps people for generations. Even the most virtuous and well meaning government program will, sooner or later, be exploited by bad actors. Distributed blame means no bureaucrat is ever held accountable for the failures of the bureaucracy. Meanwhile, the more government supposedly does, the bigger the ATM it becomes to politically favored cronies. Moreover, the war on drugs, war on poverty and war on terror have all been absolute utter and complete failures. Normalizing failure.

Transparency is the start of accountability. Unless we see the crimes the bureaucrats are committing we can’t charge them. Moreover, normal people are unwilling to commit crime in the light of day in a crowded place. Because they know they’ll be seen, identified and charged. No criminal wants that. It increases overhead to the point where crime doesn’t pay. So transparency is the way we start to add accountability to the elite. The first thing that needs to happen is to make transparency the default. Anything that needs to be hidden should be granted by a judge beforehand. In a confrontational court. Not a rubber stamp like the US courts have become. If everything every government worker does, is put on the internet in real time, nothing will go unnoticed.

Accountability is the cornerstone of all occupations. Imagine an engineer who’s planes exploded, buildings collapsed or cradles folded into baby killing machines? Would such an engineer be allowed to continue drawing such deadly prints? What about a manufacturer who was producing dangerous and defective products? How about a doctor who never had a patient recover under his care? We would never allow such failures from any professional… except a government expert. They can be wrong all the time. Leading to death, disaster and catastrophe. Yet the more wrong they are, the more power we give them. Because there’s no accountability in bureaucracy. Although, if a bureaucrat puts a paperclip in the wrong corner denoting two copies instead of one, she will be punished.

If we agree that government is indeed the source of our problems today, then controlling government would solve them. The way to do that is with transparency and accountability. Transparency so we can see what’s going on, and accountability so the failures, fraud and scandals of officials can be punished. Providing incentive not to violate our Constitution, our interests or their own laws. Those who thrive in the dark are the likeness of mold, and do the same thing, eat prosperity. Turning the useful into the useless. Doing nothing hasn’t worked, so why not try something? Contact Congress, senators, judges, the press and anyone who will listen… then demand transparency and accountability in government. DOGE is cutting the ditch, let’s build the road to a better world.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Limericks

Dear Friends,

 

There’s nothing wrong with loyal opposition,

Especially in a major government transition,

But democrats aren’t loyal,

Instead they’re traitors royal,

Which means it’s time for their investigation.

 

Evil simply can’t go away,

It’s with us every single day,

Participate at leisure,

At the Devil’s pleasure,

And suffer in our own way.

 

The next few weeks we could see amazing events,

Which is because the elite don’t make any sense,

Polluting their well,

Self serving as Hell,

And lowering the lot of Man in ways intense.

 

No job no education those poor terrorists wont go far,

Conniving daily and praying nightly upon a dark star,

Terrorism’s expensive still,

But someone pays the bill,

Because who can afford to ruin such an expensive car?

 

Government is doing fine,

Criminals are doing time.

They’ll get to the root,

And give us the jackboot,

Now that wrongspeak is a crime.

 

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Grift And Executive Power

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the reason Biden could do anything with his pen and Trump is stymied at every turn, is because of the logic of collective action. The grifters who receive the grift, keep close track of the grift. Because their incomes come from it. While the victims of the grift don’t. Because individually our harm is small. So when Trump cuts the grift, the grifters fly into a rage. After careful judge shopping they sue. So when Biden added grift, the grifters cheered, while the victims grumbled. Even as when Trump cuts the grift, the grifters fly into a rage, as the victims cheer. The logic of collective action at work. Those with the greater stake will take the greater action to protect their stake. Which presents a huge obstacle to Trump succeeding in cutting the fat from government.

Let’s face it, our government has become an inferno of grift. The USAID scandal is mind blowing. Almost 50 billion a year entirely dedicated to grift. Were that the whole story, it would be bad enough, but it’s only the tip of a budget ripping iceberg. Social Security is filled with fraud. The elite can distract with arguments about COBOL being old so it’s unreliable, their shoes are untied, and the sun was in their eye, but they amount to excuses for failure. It appears the whole world was on the US government’s payroll! No wonder the budget is a raging chemical plant fire, no one wants to get near, let alone extinguish. As that fire burns up the wealth of the nation, our elites warm their hands by its heat. Now we hear that 4.7 trillion dollars of government spending is unaccountable?!

Grift is like cocaine, the more one gets the more one wants. People take the easiest route. It’s because humanity evolved or was created in a system of perfect competition. The ecosystem. In such a system, any advantage no matter how small, can mean the difference between life and death. This is programmed into all of us. Residing in our collective unconscious or some such place. As a result, we act out our programming even when the stakes aren’t life and death. Because of mankind’s history in the state of nature. So when offered the option of hard work or taking grift, most people will take the grift. It’s simply human nature. Plus, the more grift is available, the more the grifter wants. Again human nature, in that there’s no such thing as enough good, but even a bit of bad is too much.

No one addicted to a drug willingly lets it go until forced. Since grift is drug like in its effect we can apply this to government grift. The answer to both then is keeping people from trying them. Instead, our elites all get a taste of grift the moment they get power. It’s like having all teenagers try heroin, meth and crack at the age of sixteen. The one is as stupid as the other. Because a taste is all that’s needed to create addiction. Which means, drugs have to be limited to medical uses and government must be limited to the basics. Any more power in the hands of weak human beings and an opium epidemic of grift will happen. It’s human nature. What we need to do then is limit government to limit grift and all the associated negative results. Hindered by the logic of collective action.

That’s why when Biden sent tens of billions to Ukraine, Iran and Soros, outside congressional authority, no one judge shopped and sued. Billions went to the addicts. Taken from the pockets of working people. Who grumbled but didn’t sue. When Trump cuts grift however, that money comes right out of the pockets of some of the most corrupt and self serving people to have ever lived. They won’t hesitate to judge shop and sue. It’s the definition of Olsen’s Logic of Collective Action. Those with the greater stake will take the greater action. It’s not their fault. Since we all seek an advantage due to our programming from the state of nature. What we should do then is put our shoulders behind Trump, cut the grift and limit government, to eliminate the flow of the elite’s drug of choice… grift.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Dear Friends,

 

Progressives chant we must be forgiving,

So unlimiting their power is only fitting,

But try as they might,

Power slips out of sight,

Because politics boils down to the standard of living.

 

The Europeans are well and truly trapped,

They took the cheese and the snare snapped,

As oligarchs connive,

Expanding their beehive,

And many still are mesmerized frozen and rapt.

 

Wen is a conniver in the deep state’s pocket,

Fear is her tactic and you just can’t knock it,

Thinking she’s a hero,

Useful idiot and a zero,

Because she’s just a cog in an oligarchical sprocket.

 

There once was an elite duplicitous,

Traitors race baiters and malicious,

To stop unwanted affection,

Without offending by rejection,

And so they create a no dance sensuous.

 

To those who censor oppress and silence,

Expose their zealotry guile and imbalance,

For all to see,

It’s proof of tyranny,

When wrongthink is punished more severely than violence.

 

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Reputation

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the problem with experts telling lies is when they’re caught, and they always eventually are, people lose trust in them. Any expert who trades on their reputation would be wise to heed this advice. Because it appears they have all pooped on their reputations of late. The legacy media laments, no one trusts them, while the media experts decry our disbelief. As the courts stand in alarm that we don’t trust them anymore. The entire expert cadre has destroyed their reputation and now are whining about the result. What they didn’t understand, is that the reputations they were handed, didn’t come from effective propaganda, censorship and bullying, but of decades of honest work. Those decades of hard and diligent work were destroyed in a few years, by hubris, lies and arrogance.

The press already had a tough row to hoe with social media and the internet. What they didn’t need was confirmation that everything we had suspected about them was true. That they actually are a mockingbird media. In pay of USAID to spread false information. That revelation comes on the heels of the malfeasance of the press in not reporting Biden’s mental collapse. The complicity of the media in the Jan 6th false flag discredited them. Moreover, the blatant way they’re defending waste, fraud and abuse in our governments shows they’re cronies. One of the first things we must do when we find ourselves bleeding… is to stop cutting ourselves. The press clearly doesn’t understand the concept. Shrieking at the faith loss, they continue taking payola and lying. Which is why no one trusts them.

The medical establishment’s failures during the Covid debacle was damning. Medical expert’s total lack of curiosity about the origin was amazing. Even as they complied when told to gaslight us about Hydroxychloroquine, natural immunity and ivermectin. Then masked us up in direct contravention of the research done after the 1917 pandemic. Claiming, if one mask didn’t work, add another. Amounting to a requirement to wear political iconography as a condition of medical service. I was forced to get my high blood pressure medicine from an online doctor since I refused to wear political iconography to get medical treatment. Being told I would not be served for not wearing a mask even when they claimed I could have cancer. I have forever lost all faith in doctors as a result.

The courts have utterly discredited themselves. Using standing to deny credible claims, yet allowing any reactionary lawsuit from the left, to go unimpeded. Have you heard once, that a crazy lawsuit against Trump or DOGE has been denied due to standing, laches, mootness or ripeness? I haven’t heard of one. Yet SCOTUS refused to hear a case on standing between States in 2021! In direct contravention of their duty under our Constitution. There are double standards and there’s direct conflict of interest. Like when judges have exploited their position to protect their family’s income. Not only a clear and notorious conflict of interest, but one that undermines any credibility the courts used to have. Then there are the Jan 6th cases. Where the courts violated every constitutional obligation.

Entire professions rely on reputation. The press, doctors and the courts are but a few. People trained in those disciplines should know this, but apparently not. Because they’ve discredited themselves. No open minded person believes the legacy media anymore. Knowing they’re on the take. The courts have ruined a reputation that took two hundred fifty years to establish. What’s scary to me, is the fact doctors have proven themselves, so limited. I used to hold doctors in high regard. I don’t anymore! Now I see doctors, judges and journalists as cogs on a sprocket, without agency, independence or wisdom. As does the public. So we’re turning to other sources for news, medicine and justice. Which illustrates why experts who rely on their reputations, must protect those reputations.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Dear Friends,

 

We all want a clean environment,

Of that you’ll get little argument,

We want jobs though,

So it’s good to know,

That green is actually red in parliament.

 

NYC is getting rough you just can’t mask it,

Crime violence and putting people in a casket,

Chaos does reign,

The rulers are insane,

As the state is going to Hades in a wicker basket.

 

Foreigners aren’t stronger in the brain stem,

Americans are as smart as any of them,

Businesses needs staffing,

They have to do something,

To make up for our failed education system.

 

The world is not as it was,

It’s all different now because,

The elite know better,

With a legal letter,

But the EU doesn’t have a military France does.

 

Butter, lard and coconut oil are the best,

In times lean they’ve passed the test,

Tasty and healthy,

Not only for the wealthy,

They make us fit smart and give us zest.

 

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Prosperity And Immigration

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, people across the planet seek to come to America or Europe, but if offered a chance to bring the laws and customs of America and Europe to their homelands, they balk. This seems like a contradiction. Why would people rather hazard travel, but loathe the idea of that place coming to them? People risk their lives to get better lives. So why not risk nothing? Because they’re unwilling to change their homelands. The way to national economic prosperity is well documented. A well educated workforce with a strong work ethic, low regulations, taxes and limited government results in prosperity. Examples abound. Like Singapore, Luxembourg, and Macao. These aren’t nations rich in natural resources, or on valuable trades routes, they’re open for business, but not unlimited immigration.

Fostering a work ethic is easy as giving kids chores. Starting people at an early age to embrace work will inculcate a work ethic. That work ethic can be supplemented with a basic education. Instead of plowing money into higher education, make sure all kids can read, write, do basic math and know how to find information. Moreover, the arts can’t be ignored because they build the right brain’s power to connect the seemingly unconnected. Which is a source of innovation and entrepreneurship. The problem is these all require cultural changes. Most people will move to a different culture, and acclimate to it, rather than allow a new culture to grow at home… even a more prosperous one. So people flee their own culture, risking life and limb, for prosperity in another.

Low taxes and regulation allow entrepreneurs and small businesses opportunities. Both are the true engines of economic growth. The easier it is to keep a small business afloat the more small businesses there will be. Moreover, towns that aren’t dependent on a large factory but a complex system of small and medium sized firms is much more resilient. Such places can tolerate economic stresses that crush company towns… and countries. When the company closes. Plus the interplay of small businesses opens niches for new firms. Which grows and economy quickly, organically and authentically. Organically because the growth is bottom up. One can call that growth authentic as well, because the growth is a reflection of local need, instead of outside pressure to buy, rather than produce.

The elite in small nations often see corporations and their lucrative bribes as a way to leap the basic work of building a prosperous nation. They can keep the regulations high and the grift flowing. Taxes can be held high, to protect the corporate elite from competition, and fund the political elite’s opulent lifestyles. Few will lower their quality of life to benefit others… especially the psychopaths that run governments. So, if a national leader can score a corporation to come in and pay ten times the going rate for workers, they’re a hero. A hero that gets tons of bribes from that corporation. They can pretend those few jobs will pull the nation out of the debt spiral, their socialistic spending to buy votes has got it. Maybe the despot can even retire to a Greek island with his ill got gains.

People in poor nations rarely vote for the politician who promises national prosperity, they vote for the one who will raid the treasury, and give some to them. Cutting spending means austerity. Cutting regulations cuts the flow of bribes to officials and things can get done. Powerful factions are loathe to change. Even as the people themselves are used to and so are comfortable in a cage of bribes, regulations and political favor. So people will risk life to get to Europe, for work, opportunity or to collect welfare. Why make one’s own nation like the west, when one can simply go to the west… and get welfare? Which is why poor countries stay poor and the west is turning into the third world. People mulishly refuse to change their own culture but risk life to get to another.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Dear Friends,

 

My greed is bad while yours is good,

Capitalism’s iron to socialism’s wood,

A contradiction in terms,

As everyone learns,

Is the hypocrite’s deceiving hood.

 

Elitists thought it was in the pail,

When they lost they began to wail,

She had it in the bag,

There was just one snag,

They couldn’t fathom vote fraud would fail.

 

Totalitarianism’s plain to see,

Why doesn’t everyone flee,

Toys are now illegal,

Despotism’s so regal,

And Britain is now a recognized tyranny.

 

Karl Popper must spin in his grave,

To be misquoted by such a knave,

Divine sophistry,

How can it be,

Falsification is now a pseudo science of Bacon’s cave?

 

Refugees trodding the world filled with care,

It’s rude when they pass and people stare,

With new clothes and cell phone,

Brutalizing people in our home,

But it’s fine because they’re looking for better welfare.

 

Sincerely,

John Pepin
