Taught to be Ignorant

Posted on March 11, 2020 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, our schools are doing a terrible job of educating our kids, in every way possible. Our schools teach children what to think, not how to think or how to get ahead, instead focusing on making our kids good little slaves. In the 1980’s the public school system eliminated industrial arts and home economics. That tragedy led to generations of kids who need to be taught, by their employers, how to turn on a table saw or make a biscuit. What is most tragic is that our schools inculcate a sense of hopelessness in our children. The amazing thing is that even as our schools fail our children, they demand ever more money for the failing educators, that are teaching foolishness, hedonism, Marxism and gender studies.

Ask any graduate of high school about Stalin’s purges, the gulags, the extermination of the Kulaks, the Ukrainian famine, Mao’s Great Leap Forward that killed 45 million Chinese, Fidel Castro killing 50,000 when he came to power, Pol Pot’s killing fields, Kim Mentally Ill’s regime of three generations of punishment or that the Nazis were the national socialist party… yet they all have a great deal of admiration for socialism! Talk about educated to be ignorant! The singular lesson of the 20th century was that socialism fails… economically, human heartedly, and culturally. It fails at every level of examination and is pathological. Yet the conclusion of our educators is that it must be taught as morally superior to capitalism. This has let our kids down in a big way.

Everyone has a stake in society. This is because we are a social creature. Everything good that comes to us as individuals comes from other people. How many times have you been talking to someone about a problem, and they tell you their friend had the same issue, and solved it… Then you apply that same solution and voila, your problem is solved. That didn’t’ come from government, it came from other people, interacting as individuals, sharing our common stake in society. Even the poorest person has a stake in society. How long will welfare checks keep coming in if our society fails? How much food will be available to charity if everyone is starving? Who will be the most harmed by a collapse… the rich? Of course not, they have the self taught ability to get ahead in any circumstances.

Money is the spring from which our lives are improved. Those with more have longer and better lives. This is no great insight. We all know this to be true, yet our schools teach nothing about money. Seriously? Why not? Every kid should be taught the difference between a liability and an asset, they should know how to create a balance sheet, understand cash flow and calculate profit loss. That they are not is an indictment of our government monopoly school system. The damage to our economy, society, students and culture is incalculable. Imagine how many people could become entrepreneurs if they were given the tools to be in school? Imagine how much our gross domestic product would be increased, if more people became rich, because it is the core curriculum of our schools?

We live in a technological age. Every contraption we enjoy comes from our forefathers invention. They knew how to weld, turn steel on a lathe, fix a lawnmower, make furniture, grow a garden, bake biscuits and cook a roast. Today, these things are not taught, so high school graduates don’t know the difference between a monkey wrench and a boxed end wrench. How are they supposed to advance our technology if they don’t know the basics of it? They cannot. It is truly pathetic that students have to learn the important stuff after they graduate the public school. Obviously this will only lead to chaos in our society. Those who have read my articles before know what chaos is to progressives. Which makes me wonder… are they doing a terrible job on purpose?

Sincerely,

All The Lonely People

Posted on March 8, 2020 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me… our culture is creating a generation of Elinor Rigbys, and Father Mackenzies. This is accomplished by undermining traditional marriage, vilifying Christianity, manipulating children into self sterilization for the benefit of perverts, pushing kids to try homosexuality by the public schools and alienating us from each other. All very progressive goals. They will of course inevitably lead to millions of lonely people, so you see, we do know where they come from, it’s just that we don’t want to speak up and be labeled a bigot. So we look around at all the lonely people, know where they come from, and figure they must belong alone. I wonder if it isn’t some mass pathological experiment to see how many children can be fooled into living a lonely, unfulfilled and tragic life?

In Europe, I hear, church attendance is almost non existent. As suggested by the line, “writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear.” Which is saying, the community that a church provides for it’s parishioners, is not being provided. The people who would otherwise have a place to go, and be part of a community, are instead staying home, alone. This is not conducive of a life that is full and where people are beloved. Instead, such a destructive attitude towards Christianity leads to people who are marginalized, alienated from their fellows and profoundly lonely. Of course, church can be alienating… for those who do not participate. Hiding in a corner, not talking to anyone but instead giving anyone who comes close a dirty stare, is a form of self ostracism.

One of our modern crimes against humanity, the transsexual movement, can only lead to alienated, unfulfilled individuals who commit suicide at alarming rates… due to their loneliness. Because the number of men who would date, and indeed marry a man, who has transitioned into a woman are extremely few, while those women who would date and marry a “man” who was born a woman, are just as rare. This can only lead people who have “transitioned,” to live without anyone significant in their lives to lift them up, hold their hand when they are sad, nurse them when they are sick or bring them to the store when they need a ride. They will miss out on the humanity we are all called to participate in. They are the victims of our fascination with girls with penises.

I am of the opinion that homosexuality is both a born trait and a learned one. Some are born with that propensity, just as some are born with the propensity to be alcoholics. The first attribute is harmless with out the second to trigger it. Someone who would be an alcoholic, who never tastes beer, will never destroy themselves by it. Our public schools today teach our children to at least try homosexuality, before deciding to be heterosexual. They might as well force every child to try crack cocaine, liqueur and heroine. They all lead to the same place. A person who is all alone in the world, unfulfilled and sick, mentally, spiritually and physically. Homosexuality is not like those things you say? Statistics might enlighten us on this matter.

People who have “transitioned” attempt suicide at the ripe old age of thirty at upwards of 54%! The life expectancy of someone who is openly “gay” is also much diminished. Studies of people who are atheist show they have less life fulfillment and are more angry than those who regularly attend church services. The lack of community might have something to do with this. We are social animals. We need companionship. When denied companionship we become angry, sad, self destructive and bitter. All lead to diminished life outcomes. If we really care about humanity, we will stop the foolishness, point it out, embrace and love everyone, while helping others to become the best they can be. To do otherwise is to participate in making a generation of Elinor Rigbys.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Covid 19 Scare

Posted on March 6, 2020 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, this Covid 19 “pandemic” is as overly hyped as it is a flash in the pan. Simply put covid 19 is a form of the common cold, a coronovirus, at least it is in the same family. We all know what happens to the common cold once warm weather hits… it goes away. I predict Covid 19 will as well. Once June and July get here the cases will fall off the table. In the meantime it is a very effective weapon the media that calls itself unbiased Is using against the Trump administration. The pandemic scare has shaved better than ten percent from the stock market, which makes the democrats ecstatic. Their politicization of this disease, shows their absolute lack of human heartedness, and duplicity. Such people belong behind the operating end of a mop, not at the levers of power.

The Covid 19 disease may or may not be from a bio weapons lab in Wuhan China, or it may be from a bat, who knows, and furthermore, who cares? It is not as deadly as SARS was, and the Trump administration has taken unprecedented steps to control it’s outbreak in the US. Unlike the EU, where the boarders are kept open at all costs… even the potential deaths of millions of Europeans, Trump took the hard step to stop incoming air traffic from the effected areas. In doing so he received the ire of the progressive faction that would like nothing better, (judging by their actions) than a widespread epidemic that kills millions of Americans. In acting insane, claiming it is out of control and urging panic, democrats have shown who they really are.

During the Obama administration there were at least two deadly diseases that ravaged people around the world, that Obama did nothing to stop. The Ebola disease that kills eighty percent of those infected, bleeding out their eyes, nose, ears and mouth, was allowed to spread to the US by unlimited air travel. The media however didn’t have anything bad to say about Obama’s handling of that disease. The SARS epidemic, that killed over a thousand Americans and was allowed to spread to tens of thousands of Americans, didn’t elicit any negative response from the media. It was not hyped nor was Obama vilified for doing nothing to stop the spread. In the end, it was the onset of summer that stopped SARS from killing many more Americans… not the response from the Obama administration.

Oh, I am not saying this is not a deadly threat, to not only the US, but the world. I am saying it is not the threat the 1918 Spanish Flu was, nor is it the danger that SARS was. The primary problem with this disease is the world’s response to it. China has gutted their economy by quarantine, California is in a state of emergency and Europe is in a panic. That panic has effected the stock market and may lower economic output for the world this year. Not due to the deaths, or disease, but because of the over the top response, designed to damage our economy, and thus elicit anger against Trump leading the way for a Marxist or progressive to take the reins of power. To them, human suffering is a tool, a means to power… not a thing to be avoided.

If progressives really did worry about disease, they would not promote disease where they live. Take San Francisco, human feces lines the streets, in LA all the once eradicated diseases have made a comeback, leprosy, tuberculosis, plague, even measles, mumps and rubella, due to the anti immunization movement. Showing progressives don’t worry about disease, unless it can get them more power over others. Then progressives project terror, to create a panic, which by any measure is very progressive. Sure, Covid 19 will kill people and it will be a problem for the next few months. By early summer it will be relegated to the history books as another feckless panic. So, wash your hands, keep safe and stay vigilant, but don’t panic, that is Henney Penney foolishness that will only make it worse.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

A One Way Dead End – Democratic Socialism

Posted on March 4, 2020 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the thing about socialism, is that you can vote yourself into it… but you have to fight your way out. History has a very strong opinion about this. Once socialists gain control of the levers of power, they control the levers in the voting machines as well. As Marx is said to have said… It matters not who the voters want, it matters what the people who count the vote, want. Which is openly saying that once socialists gain power they must subvert democracy to their own ends. Being the guru of all socialists his word must be taken seriously. Another thing history informs us of, is that a people who vote themselves into socialism fare better than those forced into it. Because when force is used, tyranny is the immediate result, but when voted in, it takes a decade or so for real oppression to kick in.

Their ideas are so good they must be mandatory, as the saying goes. Socialists are the ultimate in hubris. They believe themselves so wise, enlightened and sublimely intuitive, they have the ability to know, without question, that their ideas are for the best of Mankind. They are so certain they are correct, that violence is acceptable to force, others to comply. The platform of every socialist party across the planet highlights this ugly truth. They openly call for redistribution by force, regulating entire industries out of existence, (coal, and fracking for example), state control of the youth, one size fits all healthcare, regulating every aspect of our lives, (for our own good of course), and disarming citizens. All by people who can’t tie their own shoes.

There is a psychological point of the Big 5 personality traits, Introversion, Openness to new ideas, Conscientiousness, Orderliness, and Neuroticism, progressives tend to be high in openness to new ideas and low in conscientiousness. Conservatives tend to be low on openness to new ideas and high in conscientiousness… the people who get things done. We all know people who are not conscientious, their bills are unpaid, their houses are a mess, they are always late, they borrow stuff and either don’t return it else it is broken if they do, they take two parking places, their shoes are untied, etc… none of which makes someone a bad person, they are in fact the innovators… it does however, point to the fact they probably shouldn’t be ordering everyone else around at gunpoint.

History’s strong opinion is that socialism leads to communism, which leads to oppression. The chain of events is inevitable once it has got underway. The 1917 Revolution was led by “moderate” socialists, but Lenin perverted the vote to name the factions, to get the name “majority” in Russian… Bolshevik. While the moderate socialists, who were the actual majority, were slandered as the minority… Menshevik. The communists have the stomach to make the hard decisions, like in the factional fighting between the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks. The Bolsheviks would kidnap a Menshevik at night. They would take him, or her, to the woods, cut a small slit in the victim’s side and pull out a bit of intestine, and nail it to a tree. Then whip the Menshevik so he, or she, would tie themselves to the tree.

Oh, socialists chant in monotone about their commitment to democracy, with platitudes like democratic socialism, which upon close examination differs little from National Socialism, except the nationalist part. You see, once socialism has started, it must devolve to communism, because once the distribution of goods is by political favor, people must use violence to gain political favor. Therefore, the most violent will win. Voting under such circumstances is a table without a top. The most violent faction gets the most power, not the suffrage of the people. So, for a nation to extricate itself from socialism, some faction that seeks freedom must fight their way out… dragging the rest of society with them. Those virtuous revolutionaries are rare though, 1776 was such a time, but there hasn’t been one since.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Who Are You Allowed to Vote For?

Posted on March 1, 2020 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, your vote is irrelevant… if someone else decides who you can vote for. In such a case you have no choice whatsoever, the choice has been made for you, your vote is only to give the appearance of democracy. When the people are fooled by the appearance of democracy, there is none, Abe Lincoln’s old saying comes into play, “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time…” The election of 2016 was the first time in decades where the people were given a choice, and the elite rejected that choice, since then we have been entertained by a slew of investigations of debunked conspiracy theories and impeachment. The elite in the Administrative State are not amused by real democracy… not one bit.

The election of 2012 between Romney and Obama illustrated the point… there was no choice in that election. The last debate Romney fell all over himself kissing Obama’s derriere and agreeing with every administrative state idea Obama regurgitated. Lately, Romney’s true colors have been shown to us in living color. He is an Administrative State hack who made his money despoiling American businesses and participating in the managed decline of America. So, the choice in 2012 was an administrative state sycophant or an Administrative State zealot. Not much of a choice. 2008 between McCain and Obama was no different. In every case, and every election back to Reagan, the Administrative State chose who we could vote for. Which means… no matter who lost, the Administrative State won.

In 2016 Hillary was the Administrative State’s pick. They undermined the republican because she was so tuned into the wants and needs of the Administrative State. Not only was she their choice but they pulled out all the stops to get her in. The FBI, State Department and DOJ covered up a scandal where she misused classified emails, destroyed evidence, lied about it, all to cover up other scandals… she even had an app running on her illegal server forwarding every top secret email to a G mail account under the control of a Chinese company. All hidden and covered up by the Administrative State to protect her electability. Moreover, the same FBI and DOJ allowed the DNC to collude with shadowy people in Ukraine, to create a hoax Russia collusion narrative to under mine Trump.

The panic that the entire Administrative State went into, upon the election of Trump, is illustrative of their temperament, intent and duplicitousness. Their first impulse was to spy on a political candidate, destroy people and invent a hoax narrative to ruin his Presidency. They colluded to get a special investigator to follow up on their invented conspiracy theory, and that investigation was only concluded on Barr’s orders. It showed there was nothing to the conspiracy theory, that Trump colluded with Putin to win the 2016 election… it was all a hoax. Since then, we have seen literally dozens of top members of the Administrative State caught in inappropriate and illegal conspiracies, to undermine Trump and force him from office… without consequence. Some even overtly advertised it in the NYT!

When people have been allowed to control who the people can vote for, undermining the democratic element of our Republic, for so long, they become arrogant, condescending and careless. We see every one today in the Administrative States of the West. Under any sane system of government Rotherham could not have happened. Only under an Administrative State, who’s apparatus is outside any Constitutional restraints and where the people themselves are powerless before an all powerful state, can children be harvested off the streets, to be raped and sold into slavery, with the full knowledge and complicity of the State. Yes, anyplace where others choose who you can vote for… is a place where you are a slave… in all but appearance

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Free Falling Stock Market and It’s Faangs…

Posted on February 28, 2020 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the FAANG stocks are showing us the value of getting in bed with government, specifically, the progressive faction that runs the Administrative state. The FAANG stocks are, Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google, (now Alphabet). They are the modern tech stocks that defied gravity and have driven most of the stock market rally since 2000. They are ubiquitous on the Internet. Google is the monopoly search engine, Apple is the phone maker to the hip set, Amazon sells literally anything and crushes any competition, Facebook, Twitter and Google (through it’s ownership of Instagram), control the social platforms. Netflix is a streaming video service that was born of innovation but has grown by political favor. They all have become arms of the progressive faction.

Through the monopoly control of social media the progressive faction and the Administrative State can throttle information they do not want public. The name of the “Whistleblower,” Ciaramella’s name, is deleted on every social media platform the moment it appears. No other whistleblower’s name is deleted, and certainly not Phil Haney, who was recently found dead in his car. Their monopoly gives them the ability to restrain who says what and to whom. These alone are powerful tools of mind control for any elite, but they pale in comparison to Google’s demonstrated ability to sway elections. Netflix has given the progressive faction tens of millions of dollars, to forward their propaganda which allows pernicious and destructive ideas to slither into our minds, with us unaware.

Why do these companies do such evil things? To get rich of course! Google was founded by CIA money so that one is obvious, but Netflix was having a bad time of it for awhile so they turned to rent seeking… and the progressives are the landlords to US corporate interests. Apple is in bed with the communist government of China, and transfers US technology to them, so China lets them build $1000.00 I phones on the cheap. Facebook, Twitter etc… all get the best of both worlds when it comes to being a platform or a publisher. They get to censer their customers like they are a publisher, but receive a get out of jail free card for, copyright infringement, silencing political speech, slander, etc… they basically are given carte blanche to do as they please. All it costs them is their souls.

On the other hand, companies that are not in bed with the progressive faction are hampered at every turn. Companies like Gab are pushed, hosts shut them down, face lawsuits their competitors are immune from, and vilified in the media that calls itself unbiased. Obviously the profit margin of a Gab pales in comparison to an Instagram or Twitter. Now one could argue it is because those other companies are further along in the growth process. Which would be a valid argument, except that those companies didn’t face any of the obstacles their younger competitors faced. They were allowed to grow while their competitors face regulatory challenges they didn’t have to. One wonders if Twitter could have got off the ground had it faced host providers shutting them down randomly.

I wonder if you could look at the stock price of most companies listed… and make a fairly reasonable estimate of their cronyism by stock price? GE ceased to be an innovative company decades ago and exists as a zombie corporation, it’s undeath sustained by government favor. Boeing, well, what can be said that hasn’t? The FAANGs haven’t made it to that state yet. They have some life left in them. Worry not though, because should they start to really fail in health, the progressive faction will come to the rescue, through the Administrative State and raise them from the dead, if for no other reason than to maintain their monopoly control of conversation. So, yes, the FAANG stocks prove that political favor of the right brand, is more important to a stock price than profits, innovation or customers.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Separatist Movements Around the World

Posted on February 26, 2020 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me… the recent trend of conservative leaning areas seeking independence from their progressive big city overlords is telling. We see examples around the world. Brexit, Catalonia and Grexit are examples in Europe. In North America we see Alberta with a healthy separatist movement. Large swaths of Oregon are looking to disengage from Olympia and it’s progressive oppression to join Idaho. The problems in Virginia are legendary, and will not be going away, because the most draconian of the unconstitutional laws the progressives in Richmond failed to get through this time, are not going away. In every case, the reason people want to leave is because they are facing progressive oppression, that they have no way to defend from or can even openly complain about.

Psychopaths like to get into positions where they can oppress others without their victims able to retaliate. It is a common theme among psychopaths and sociopaths. Government is the ideal for this type of behavior. Government is a place, especially the bureaucracy, where someone can burrow in, and wage war with the human race in anonymity, with zero accountability and with the approbation of fellow progressive sociopaths. A family who dug a fish pond on their own property for their daughter, were fined tens of millions of dollars for it… by the bureaucracy! Regulations are far more powerful than laws, because regulations are arbitrarily passed by unelected bureaucrats, enforced and prosecuted by them as well… in some cases the judiciary is not even involved! So much for trial by jury of peers.

In the example of Alberta, the people of Alberta are finding themselves under the heel of a jack booted progressive administrative state in Ottawa. The federal government in Canada is quashing Alberta’s ability to get it’s primary product, oil, to market. While at the same time taxing it to oblivion and regulating it to death. The fat cats in Ottawa grow ever fatter, while the hard working men and women of Alberta, grow ever thinner. This oppression is sufficient to anger even the most laid back Canadian. The policies of Ottawa, careless of the wants and needs of the people of Alberta, led to a powerful movement to secede from Canada, to become sovereign or join the US. Not because the people of Alberta no longer want to be Canadian, but because the government of Canada is forcing them to.

Disaster is averted for now in Virginia, but it snaps at the heels of all Virginians today. The moment democrats gained control of the executive and legislature, they immediately started passing anti constitutional laws, attacking the First and Second Amendments. Red flag laws that flagrantly bypass our Constitutional limitations on government power, are all the rage among progressives, and were also included in the democrat usurpation in Virginia. This led to a movement to secede from Virginia and join West Virginia by most of the counties. Craziness, like the governor declaring guns outlawed in Richmond to stop an open carry protest, goes on. The protest went on anyway and with zero violence. Which, had the protesters been progressives, would have become extremely violent, as they all do.

While there are far too many examples to cover here, they all point to the same conclusions… that progressives can live their ideas and dreams under conservative leadership, but conservatives are oppressed under progressive leadership. This is because of the fundamental difference in the philosophies of the two factions. Conservatives seek to conserve the advances of the Enlightenment and the innovations and freedoms of the US Constitution, while progressives seek to evolve government away from that old paradigm, to a new one of the Administrative state, with unlimited power to make our lives “better.” In the US, a communist can live in a commune if he or she wants, but under communism, a capitalist must live in a commune. No wonder they leave… If they can.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Should Trump Win This Year’s Election

Posted on February 23, 2020 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, if Trump wins, the top priority of the conservative, libertarian and constitutionalist movements… should be a national push to get voucher systems in place in every state. We have ceded the schools to the progressives and they have hatched a generation of mind numbed robots who cannot think their way to make change but have memorized the Communist Manifesto and are proficient at anal sex. They think that the way to fight fascism is to be a fascist, silencing people is stopping hate, physically dismembering an unborn baby is a choice, that fire doesn’t burn and water no longer wets. The progressives have lowered the life outcomes of a whole generation. They are not able to get and hold jobs and are dying of opioid overdoses in astounding numbers. The schools are the key.

The argument many progressives use, that if a voucher system was enacted it would be the end of the public school system, is a defacto admission, that the public school system is not an education system but something else, otherwise given the tremendous amount of public funding it receives, it could compete with any fly by night outfit that purports to give a quality education. Another argument you often hear is, all the good students would leave and the public school system would be stuck with the dregs. Which shows how the NEA views our children. I would argue that the dregs parents, being loving and caring, would put them in schools that would cater to their needs and help them succeed in the areas they are primed to succeed in. My argument is based on self interest… as is theirs.

A voucher system would open the marketplace of innovation to our children. Imagine the public school system as NASA and the entrepreneurial private schools that would pop up under a voucher system, like Space X and Blue Origin. NASA has been working on the Space Launch System, a derivative of the space shuttle, everything is built and just needs to be assembled. Cost overruns exceeding ten billion, and it would not even be close to launching, if not for Trump forcing the issue. Meanwhile, Space X has built a paradigm shifting reusable first stage orbital human rated rocket, for a fraction of the cost and in half the time. Our public school system is just as useless as every government program. You can conclude that any government program will do the opposite of it’s intended goal.

The rise of socialist and socialism, despite it’s being so thoroughly debunked in the twentieth century, is the indoctrination of our kids at the hands of progressive public schools. I have done a small experiment. I asked several recent graduates of high school, from schools across the US… not one of them knew about the Gulags, Mao’s famines, Stalin’s purges or Pol Pot’s killing fields. Yet they all saw socialism in a favorable light. Clearly, any reasonable history lesson about the twentieth century, should include the singular lesson of that blood soaked age… that socialism, communism, Marxism, etc.. always lead to human suffering on a magnificent scale. That the schools in the US don’t, is proof they are not education centers, but something else.

There will be progressive private schools, as well as parochial schools, conservative schools, charter schools, schools that focus on industrial arts and on the arts themselves. In a socialist system, as the public school system is, one size fits all and you must fit, even if you don’t, but under the free enterprise system, the market caters to the needs of the consumer. Even inventing new needs. The market system produces cars of every color, size, design, fuel, etc… serving every niche of the market. Under a voucher system private schools would do the same thing. Everyone wants what is best for their child, it is human nature, self interest… a voucher system would allow parents to choose the school best suited for their child. All but the progressive faction would benefit from a better educated populace.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Abuse by Law and Arbitrary Rule Go Together

Posted on February 21, 2020 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, one knows they live under arbitrary rule… when double standards are as obvious as they are common. Everyone knows the elite are not held to the same standards as regular people. The elite get away with things that would land you or I in jail the rest of our lives… and they get us to pay for the non disclosure agreements to hide their malfeasance. When a faction of the elite themselves are held to the same standard as a regular person, while another faction is clearly not held to any standard whatsoever, no reasonable person can argue that law is being equally applied. Madison, in the Federalist Papers, called such a situation tyranny. Now that it is clear that the application of law depends on the criminal’s political affiliation, no reasonable person can conclude we have justice.

Holder was proven to have lied to Congress in his testimony about Fast and Furious. That scandal was largely covered up by the media that calls itself unbiased. In it, the Obama “justice department” not only allowed guns to go from US gun shops along the US Mexico boarder, into the hands of violent drug cartels, but forced non complying gun dealers to go along. Then blamed the violence in Mexico on those gun dealers! It was only discovered when a US boarder agent, Brian Terry was murdered by one of those guns. The whistleblower who alerted the non traditional media about this scandal was fired by Obama. Holder lied about it to congress and was censured, rather than punished criminally like Roger Stone. This, on the face of it, is a clear example of a double standard.

Hillary Clinton not only had a secret server in violation of longstanding security rules, it has come out she did it to avoid freedom of information. When her illegal server was discovered she destroyed subpoenaed evidence and lied about it. She claimed under oath, there was no secret information in the destroyed emails, it has since been discovered that many of the destroyed emails were indeed, top secret. Moreover, her server had an app that forwarded every email she received… to some G mail account associated with a Chinese company. Obviously, they have access to the top secret emails that are denied Judicial Watch, because they are too dangerous. The FBI covered up for her and she to this day faces no criminal charges for any of it. Compare her treatment to that of Roger Stone.

The IG report on the Russian collusion hoax, suggested former FBI director McCabe be charged with perjury. Another former FBI director, James Comey, has since been found to have lied about leaking classified documents to the press. You or I would go to prison for a very long time, were we to do this, and Julian Assange is charged with a similar crime, but the “Justice department” refused to charge Comey, saying it would be vindictive to punish him… even though Comey vindictively abused his power to political ends. In the Ukraine, a DNC operative named Chalupa, enlisted the help of foreigners to get dirt on Trump, and that was the origination of the Russian collusion hoax. Compare the treatment of DNC collusion with Ukrainians… to the hoax conspiracy theory about Trump.

These examples are but the tip of a vast iceberg of corruption and double standard that is played out before our eyes every day. When the laws are so obviously arbitrarily applied, only a zealot or a fool cannot see it. Arbitrary rule, another name for tyranny, oppression, despotism, etc… but what is the character of a creeping despotism that is never spoken of? Roger Stone faces three years in prison on a process crime that was fruit of the poison tree. Those who actually abused their authority to create the hoax, colluded with foreigners to effect an election, lied about it, and covered it up, face zero penalties. Oh, Barr is supposedly having John Durham investigate it… but given the past precedent, the likely outcome is more lies, cover ups and malfeasance… very progressive.

Our Momentous Choice

Posted on February 19, 2020 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me… we stand at the edge of a momentous point in time. What we do, the decisions we make, will decide the fate of humanity for centuries to come. Now, most times that would be mere rhetoric, today, not so much. If we break one way we will be visiting a dystopian future on our children, and if we break the other, we will be bequeathing them a civilization worthy of being called a civilization. Of course, the easy way is the path to a Mad Max dystopia, and the hard way is the one to a wealthy, pragmatic, civilized society. The path each way requires many choices, some we will probably make right… and others we will probably get wrong. Showing that while we didn’t start the fire, we aren’t fighting it as well as we could.

Fundamentally, our choice is to accept the Administrative state and it’s eventual despotism, or take the difficult path and return to Constitutional rule. It is easy to do nothing, thus take the path to dystopia, but it is hard to wrest power from power mad psychopaths, the heirs of Thrasymachus’ Great Men, cut from the same cloth as Dionysus, Octavius Caesar, Hitler, Mao and Tamerlane. Their lust for power over “lesser men,” is lubricated by rivers of blood and fueled by hubris and arrogance. Taking on such men and women is no small task. Today they sit in their sanctuaries, lusting after the total surveillance the modern technology allows them, along with the tools of mass mind control, monopoly over the media, absolute censorship of even our thoughts… the dream of any would be despot.

On the other hand we would have to fight for total transparency in government, absolute freedom of speech, an end to race based anything, complete freedom of conscience, equal treatment under the law, freedom of religion and freedom to criticize anyone. In short our fight is for our fundamental Natural Rights. They stand at odds with the “Great Men,” who would take them away, or worse, exploit them to make the appearance of our having Rights when in fact we have none at all. Like today, we have the appearance of Rights when it is obvious that some are above the law, some religions cannot be criticized, some groups have a get out of jail free card, punishments for crimes is based on thoughts, and our universities are echo chambers for the political faction that favors the Administrative State.

It’s not like history hasn’t shown us the fate of those who take either path. The easy path, the one that leads to dystopia, oppression and The Hunger Games, to allow the Administrative state to win, will lead to famines like Mao’s, tyranny like Dionysus of Syracuse, slaughter of disfavored groups like Hitler and eugenics played out on a planetary scale like Woodrow Wilson would have, if given the power… of tomorrow’s “Great Men.” On the other hand, we also have historical evidence of how societies that embrace natural law turn out as well. They result in universal prosperity, peace, low crime, growing families and general content. Not at all exciting. Which is one draw for psychopaths to the Administrative state option… it will result in interesting times.

How do we fight for those good things and not the bad? By writing letters to our leaders demanding accountability for the powerful, transparent government as the default and an end to the Administrative state… ie the bureaucracy. We lobby for the overturn of Wickard V Filburn and seek the impeachment of all activist judges. Allow even the most detestable to speak, for in speaking, they destroy their arguments better than even a rhetorical genius could. We use the power of Jury Nullification, by refusing to convict people of laws that are unconstitutional, like all gun laws. Oh, the psychopaths who would be our overlords will cry foul, that if they are not our benevolent masters, we would immediately turn on each other like a pack of rabid hyenas… Liars psychopaths and hypocrites that they are.

Sincerely,

John Pepin
