This Is An Historic Election Year

Dear friends,

It seems to me, this is a critical election year for nations across the planet. Britain just had an election, where Reform received 4 million votes and 4 seats, while Lib Dems received 3.2 million votes and 71 seats. Proving the British elite have saved democracy. In France, National Rally is the biggest vote getter in the first round of elections, and their victory is met with riots from the left. Imagine the outrage if the conservatives rioted in Britain because they lost? Then there’s the US. The administrative state has its hands full. Since deep state Biden is failing at everything. Saving democracy from the voters this year is going to be tough. If they don’t though, and Trump should get elected, the elitists will have their storm troops riot, and make America ungovernable again. Like in 2020.

In France Marine LePen’s National Rally is set to win big. Which is a shocking result if you think about it. They’ve faced decades of wall to wall propaganda against their policies, slandered in the press without mercy, and the elite have even talked of banning them. Like they’re talking openly about banning the AFD in Germany. In Europe, nothing speaks of defending elections, more than democracy affirming banning of populist parties. Because everyone should only seek the best interests of the elite. This outrage, the election of National Rally, has so infuriated the left, they’ve called out their “Sturmabteilung” to burn France down. Punishing the French for their treachery. One wonders if the left will get away with it in France, under National Rally, like they have everywhere else?

In Britain, the people are so fed up with the communistic policies of the Tories, they’ve voted in Marxists to replace them. Labor will increase the migration crisis, raise taxes and regulations, while rejoining the EU, to insure the British people never get a say in Britain again. Should the conservatives riot however, the press would be quick to call for their arrests, and imprisonment without bail or trial, to make examples of them. Like American fascists did to Jan 6th protesters. Even as Islamists are given room to vent in London. Britain will be in a world of hurt in a year. It may not even exist as a sovereign nation in 10 years. Under Labor it could become the British state of Europe. Like Tibet is a state in China. Britain will be a vassal state under the wise and despotic leadership of Labor.

In the US this years election is shaping up to be a hum dinger. In every other avenue the introduction of digital computers has created huge gains in efficiency. Except elections. When we cast paper ballots, counted by hand, the results were known the next morning… now with digital, it takes sometimes weeks. Which is handy when it comes to election fortification by fraud. You don’t want to introduce too many votes into the system, else it becomes obvious… and too few, loses the election. So they need the delay to figure out how many votes are required to win by 10k. With 8 million illegals poised to cast votes in the election the democrats thought they had it in the bag. Except, with Biden crashing and burning, 18 million may not be enough… let alone 8 million. Causing the deep state to panic.

What is becoming obvious though, is that where populists win, there will be riots, arson and iconoclasm. To punish the voters. Where the elitists win, there will be despotism, poverty, war and suffering on a national scale. Regardless of who wins an election, the progressive elitists are determined to lower the lot of humanity… whether in power, or out. It’s the left that’s pushing the agenda of chaos, war, socialism, crime and migration. We see it in France with the riots, in Britain with Labor’s policies and in the US, with deep state Biden dismantling our Constitutional system. Yup, this year will show if elections have any ability to change the direction of a nation, despite the wishes of the elites that run it. Giving our votes unprecedented power to make history.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Observations

Dear Friends,

I have a few observations:

Why do politicians lie when we all know they’re lying? I wouldn’t be surprised to hear Biden say, “I killed Hitler in single combat in the Thunderdome several years before I was born…”

We all know when elites are lying. Yet they do it all the time. An elite will look us straight in the face, and say, “I can’t tell the difference between a boy and a girl,” and expect us to consider them wise?! I suppose it does work on those who ache to be lied to. But since most toddlers can tell the difference…

All an elite needs to escape criminal charges is “Plausible deniability.” While the average citizen needs a great lawyer. The politically favored get a pass even if they record themselves intimidating a mark, write the con down, accept a check, and abandon the incriminating lap top at a repair shop.

If a conservative is charged with malfeasance, the question rests on the severity of the charges… but if a democrat is charged, the legal question becomes… how did they find out?

Why do politician’s suits have pockets? It’s not like they carry anything. Lackeys do it for them. What, are they going to pat themselves down and say, “I was certain those nuclear codes were in here someplace?”

When an elite flies a private plane to stay in a swanky resort, to demand we tighten our belts to save the planet… is that a lack of self awareness, hypocrisy or pure malevolence?

When was the last time you heard someone who favors censorship… allowing themselves to be censored?

What do you call a group of cows? A herd. What do you call a group of crows? A Congress. And what do you call a group of congressmen? Idiots.

Government is a system where the least capable order the capable to be inept.

An egoist is someone who’s self centered. Because… to them, since the universe is infinite, any random place could be called the center. They just happen to be it.

Have you noticed elections these days are marred by propaganda, threats and violence? There’s even talk of civil war… if the elitists lose.

Speaking of elections, they say you can tell the character of a person by how they treat the help, how they talk about others when not around, and how they take a loss.

Trust is a tricky pet. Easy to hold on to, and a faithful servant, but once lost, it becomes rabid and turns on you.

Self sufficiency isn’t at all it’s own reward. It rewards mankind.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Marxism’s Appeal

Dear friends,

It seems to me, Marxism appeals to the elite because communism and socialism empower the powerful, by justifying their authority. They need unlimited power to run the economy… for the best interest of the workers, then African Americans, and now, LGTBQ++ migrants. Abandoning, and eventually alienating each special interest group they used to pander to, as they evolve. Nevertheless, the elite who embrace the political might that communism bestows on them, assure us they only serve the interests of others and never their own… even when it looks like they’re serving themselves. “While it was illegal for an animal to sleep in a bed, the pigs had started…” -George Orwell’s Animal Farm. The elite need luxury and opulence to magnify their power. Justified by Marx himself. No wonder they love him.

The very term command and control economy says it all. How can one command anything without the authority to? Control, well, the word says it all, doesn’t it? There needs to be people with the authority and power to command and control the command and control economy, ie, a communist or fascist one. It’s like telling a pretty girl she’s pretty, flattery will get you everywhere, because the flattered want to be flattered. Like telling a would be despot, the power and authority he or she lusts after is rightfully theirs, and justified by how they seek to use it! Any counter arguments are mere details to be ironed out after the revolution. That’s why the elite, who openly seek power over us, are so drawn to Marxism, it justifies the authority they seek to usurp and makes them heroes for doing it.

The naked exercise of political power requires a distraction. As long as the elite can claim they’re acting on someone else behalf, they can oppress at will… and call it just. As Thrasymachus said they would. The despotic Marxist or Fascist for that matter, never tyrannizes for their own benefit, far be it! They tyrannize for the benefit of a politically favored group. Never mind they created that group from whole cloth, decorated it with patterns of victim hood, and then draped it over their naked despotism. Hiding themselves from the world and appearing to be what they aren’t. This masquerade has worked for over a century now. The con has swindled many a nation out of prosperity and into want. All it takes is a victim group to be created, made politically favored with propaganda, and voila… a costume.

There’s no way to get someone to agree with you faster or more completely then to convince them they’re great, wise and deserve unlimited power over others… for their own good. As Marx and Hitler did. The totalitarian despotic Marxist or Fascist can simply use the same argument on the people that’s so enamored them. From the Bronze age on, kings, tyrants and presidents have told their people they deserve to rule the world. All they need do is grasp it and it’s there’s. The same strategy that justifies unlimited power of the elite… justifies conquest. Do you think the Mongols conquered half the world, in an hour and a half, because they didn’t think they deserved it? Flattery works as well on a plebeian as it does on a patrician. Maybe better since plebeians aren’t used to it.

What is a wonder then, isn’t that the elite adore Marxism, but that it’s ever been eschewed by any elites. Offering Marxism to an elite is like offering candy to a toddler. Few have the wisdom to deny themselves. The elite will never give up on them no matter how many times Fascism and Marxism fail. The elite’s love of Marxism and Fascism isn’t contingent, it’s absolute. Because it tells them what they want to hear. Their lust for power is good, because they can command and control the economy, to help some politically favored group. The luxury bestows magnificence to the ruler in the eyes of the ruled. Moreover, the same flattery that so beguiles the elite, is used to justify wars of aggression. And so… Marxist and Fascist ideology in truth, appeals to all egoists, big and small.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Biden Is A Deep State Asset

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, since the deep state is so protective of Biden and his criminal enterprise, it leads me to conclude, he’s a deep state asset. Why else would they go so far to protect the man? The Biden laptop lie letter, signed by top intel bureaucrats, proves they will even destroy their own reputations to defend Biden. Turns out many are actual spooks on the payroll! Obviously this breaks a multitude of laws protecting our bureaucracies from being partisan. Which proves the point all the more. Why put yourself in jeopardy for no reward? Unless it’s a function of your already dangerous job. Then there’s the obvious unindicted disclosure of classified information the Biden docs case proves… I, and any rational person can only conclude, Biden must be a deep state asset.

People don’t do work to help another unless they have something to gain. That’s simply human nature. When was the last time you put great effort into helping someone for nothing? Even charity gets the laborer a ticket to heaven, goodwill or a tax write off for a donation. Moreover, those who signed that letter put themselves at risk for it. Both reputational and criminal. People who rise to great heights in a bureaucracy don’t put themselves at risk. Certainly not those who’ve scaled the heights of the signers of the Biden laptop lie letter. That’s not the way the game is played. Plus, many are still on the CIA’s payroll! Making their signatures a literal criminal offense. Since the action is apparently so against logic, precedent and self interest… there must have been a powerful reason for it.

Those in the national security apparatus are prickly about national security. At least acting as if they are. Going to great lengths, to jail anyone who discloses even the most mundane fact to the public, let alone our enemies. They raided a former President’s house with orders to shoot to kill anyone who balked, even Secret Service agents. Despite those documents being in a secure location and the legal property of that former President. Showing how serious they must take national security in general and secret papers in particular. Which is in stark contrast to the way the same people didn’t lift a finger, to get top secret documents out of a Delaware university, the Penn Biden Center and even Biden’s garage next to his corvette. Until we found out. What explains this disparity in action?

Both examples, the lie letter and allowing our national enemies to have access to top secret papers via Biden’s bribery scheme, makes any sense… is if Biden is a deep state asset. The national security apparatus must want that top secret information to be fed to our enemies. They need to protect him at their own risk, maybe because he’s part of a disinformation campaign against the CCP. The huge bribe to the tune of 30 million is simply smoke to cover the operation. Spooks are willing the throw themselves on their own sword to keep a CIA operation going. No matter the cost. Which explains their zealous defense of the criminal… because he’s their criminal. Is that the whole story though? While it wraps up the enigma in a pretty blue bow… there maybe more to it.

We have to ask ourselves, “who’s really in charge up there?” Clearly, it’s not Biden. There was no question to anyone with their eyes open before the debate. Now even those with their eyes firmly closed and humming the Star Spangled Banner, see and hear it. It’s the deep state that’s in charge. So, while the deep state may or may not be protecting him because he’s an operational asset… it looks like he’s an actual asset, like a rental property. He pays dividends. Which brings the circle of logic to its start. Of course the administrative state loves Biden, whether or not he’s an operational asset… because he allows them to run the show. They’re not selflessly protecting a disinformation operation, they’re serving themselves. Adding political to their already mighty bureaucratic power.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Limericks

Dear Friends,

 

The elite these days are queer,

It’s absurdity that they hold dear,

The elite don’t jest,

And they won’t rest,

Until the Beast system is here.

 

The Trump trial and conviction is merely a distraction.

Law being exploited to break up political compaction.

A jury cesspool,

Law is a tool,

And the damage is done because the democrats can’t get traction.

 

The courts are corrupt as hell,

Politics and the DOJ as well,

Play us for a fool,

The law is a tool,

As Thrasymachus to Socrates did tell.

 

Stealing money from out of your pocket,

The billionaire’s trick you can’t knock it,

Take from the poor,

Then take more,

Until the villains end up on a court docket.

 

To progressive mouths it tastes sweet,

Justice has now gone down in defeat,

Our eyes they’ve sewn,

We’ve always known,

Anyone could be targeted and now even the elite.

 

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Goals And Results

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the world needs idealists, but it can’t be run by them… for that it needs pragmatists. Moreover, idealism is best when the idealists idealize human goods, not the means to them. Because an idealist thinks in terms of ideals not reality. So, when reality diverges from their theory, its reality that’s the problem to be solved… not their theories. They’re ideal. That’s why we have so many people committed to the administrative state. They idealize their imagined outcome… and ignore the reality it delivers. So an idealist will claim regulations make capitalism “fair.” By fair, they mean a politically favored person or group will get an advantage, in an otherwise free and fair exchange. Because idealists focus on goals and ignore outcomes. So they make the same mistakes over and over.

Idealism isn’t bad or good, it simply is. When idealists focus on human hearted goods they serve their purpose exquisitely. When they focus on the means to those goals, however, they become single minded despots. Why wouldn’t they? To an idealist their ideal is the wharp and whoof of their life. Climate change zealots honestly believe the world will burn up any second and we’ll all die. If you believed that, wouldn’t you destroy a painting, if you thought that would save us? If you honestly believed communism is the ideal system… it just hasn’t been tried yet, wouldn’t you be a communist? A true sycophant of the administrative state, only sees their ideas of what it could do… not what it has, does or will do. Because they’re not pragmatists, they’re idealists.

Pragmatists don’t focus on goals they focus on results. If an action results in a bad outcome, a pragmatist will eschew it in the future, for a different strategy. An idealist will try again and again, because they could care less about results, they’re goal oriented. That’s why we need pragmatists having a say. To control the headlong rush of idealists. Protecting us all. Since pragmatists judge by outcome, when given a goal by an idealist, the pragmatist is in the only position to make the idealist’s dreams come true. Because pragmatism allows us to understand what works and what doesn’t. If a plan doesn’t work, it doesn’t work, no matter how many times it’s tried, or zealously applied. Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results… is the bailiwick of idealists.

Pragmatists/realists and idealists are on opposite sides of the philosophical spectrum. To the unwise pragmatist, idealists are insane, and to the unwise idealist, pragmatists are killjoys. Because the unwise don’t see the world as it is, therefore they don’t understand it. A wise idealist will recognize the value a pragmatist brings to the table as a wise pragmatist understands the value of idealism. Both are required for mankind to advance. Idealists set the goals and pragmatists achieve them. When pragmatists are shut out of the process though the process fails. Because, idealists can’t be bothered with results, the world is at stake! A functional society and culture then, needs both idealists and pragmatists… with no one having unlimited power.

The end of slavery, civil rights and indeed all the advances of the Enlightenment were born of idealist minds. It was pragmatists that realized those dreams though. Idealists however don’t see the value in pragmatism. The pragmatist is a wet blanket. “Socialism doesn’t work…” a pragmatist tells an idealist, who thinks, “What an idiot, how can we help the poor without socialism, he must hate the poor!” So an unwise idealist will censor, beat down and even jail a pragmatist who gets in their way. The world is at stake! Never understanding, being idealists, that both are needed. An unwise pragmatist on the other hand will try to hold the world in stasis. Which is another fools errand. A healthy civilization needs both idealists and pragmatists, staying in their lanes, and recognizing the value of the other.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Military Versus Economic Might

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, instead of being the military engine of the world, perhaps it would behoove the US, to become the economic engine of the world again? Not by financial shenanigans, or service sector growth… but by becoming an industrial power house again. Of course the government would have to get out of the way. That’s the biggest challenge. Regulation and taxes have chained down US entrepreneurs. How do I know this? Ask your friends, “If they’re not, why aren’t they an entrepreneur?” They’ll generally answer, “It’s too hard to start and run a business today.” Proving the point. The elite would ask, why should the US become an economic power house, instead of a military monster? Because, there’s no future in military might, but there is in economic superiority.

Financial shenanigans have kept the US economy afloat for the last few decades but they’re losing their effectiveness. How could I say such a thing? Because of the huge budget deficit. If we take the elite Keynesian economic experts at their word, that deficit spending is a means to shore up dwindling aggregate demand to keep up with aggregate supply, then apparently, the US has been in a near permanent recession since the 1970’s. Since we’ve had deficit spending every year since then, with the exception of the years Gingrich was speaker of the House. Lacking the huge deficits shoring up the otherwise crumbling economy, and the literal gaslighting of the government, (as proved by Wikileaks), the US economy would grind to a halt under the friction of regulation and taxes.

Regulation and taxes are like a car’s brakes and emergency brake. Regulation is the emergency brake because once they’re in place the friction never goes away. As taxes are the brakes, because they’re raised and lowered depending on the administration. But are never fully released. Which means the government is constantly holding back our economy. Like a granny that rides the brakes with the emergency brake on. Who complains her brake pads are constantly worn out and she gets terrible gas mileage. Failing to see how her own actions are causing the problem. That granny would freak out at the mere thought of lifting her foot from the brake peddle. The car could careen out of control! Which is exactly the reaction we get from the elite when faced with lowering regulation or taxes.

Being the world’s policeman is not only a thankless job but a self serving one at that. When you treat people like children they act like children. It’s human nature. We do what’s expected of us. So when the US treats the rest of the world like children, in need of spankings, time outs and naps, the rest of the world is aggravated and lashes out… like children. Meaning, the simple fact the US has become the world’s policeman, makes the world a less mature place. Add to that, most nations across the globe are on US foreign aid… and you get a world ruled by teenagers. With all the negative outcomes associated with it. Living in their parent’s house (receiving US financial aid), eating their parent’s food (getting US food aid) and being defended by the US (military aid)… why grow up?

Being a military superpower requires the economy to back it. Deficit spending will only maintain a military for so long. Moreover, hollowing out the population’s wealth, isn’t conducive to recruitment. In order for the US to remain a superpower it needs a roaring economy. But the elite are terrified of lifting their foot off the brake. Like that Granny. Maybe if they also lifted their foot off the Keynesian accelerator, the economy might normalize. Because national power comes from the worn handle of a tool, not the hot barrel of a gun. Many military powers have been swept away by history… but not one economic powerhouse. Until they hollowed out their economy with regulation and taxes. Like Rome. Of the two, leading by example bests leading by might, every time. Our elites should try it.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Constitutional Rights

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, now the precedent has been set that a constitutional Right can be removed, by criminal statute, we can expect to see a full assault on them all. Via criminal law. Since anyone can have their constitutional Right to keep and bare arms removed by a complaint of criminal intent, why not the freedom to speak, freedom of association or of religion? Should those charged with wire fraud be allowed freedom of speech? How can we tolerate crackpots preaching disliked ideas, when all we need do is charge them with something, to remove that Constitutional Right? Why should any criminal have any rights? Then all the state need do is make everyone a criminal, and voila, Constitutional protections only apply to politically favored people. As the elite want.

The US Supreme Court recently ruled, all it takes to have one’s second amendment rights removed, is an allegation of domestic abuse. Not a conviction… merely and allegation. Rest assured however, that while an allegation would be sufficient to get you or I disarmed, a criminal conviction wouldn’t be enough to have an elite’s guns taken away. The hypocrites need them for self defense. Bestowing the power on all angry women to have their ex-husbands abused at the hands of the State. Now that’s progressive! Especially because, to remove someone’s firearms over an allegation, negates all Constitutional protections. The politically disfavored already have little access to protection against state abuse, and with this ruling, they’ll have none whatsoever.

This ruling shows that our Constitutional Rights are subject to allegations of intent. An ex charged with domestic abuse, who is disarmed, is being charged with the intent to do a crime… not a crime itself. Apparently, our courts are mind readers… or corrupt. Because only a mind reader can know if someone is about to commit a crime. Else are so corrupt they deny their obligations. Now this example has been set, this tactic can be used against all of our Constitutional protections. Freedom of speech could be taken away by the mere allegation of intent to misinform. How is that any different? The mere allegation of intent to do a crime is now enough to have a Constitutional Right removed, therefore, any allegation of intent will be sufficient. SCOTUS has taken us on a slippery slope wearing skis.

Why not use the same strategy on all our Constitutional Rights? That simply follows logically. How can we be safe in our person or papers… if there is an allegation we’re considering doing a swindle? That allegation alone should be sufficient, under the new rules, for government to search our premises without warrant or court order. You have to admit, that would be much more effective at law enforcement. The fact violent crimes aren’t prosecuted in many cities now, depending on who the victim is and who the attacker is… only serves to enhance the despotism. What if someone is charged with wanting to start a cult? Can their freedom of religion be taken away? Of course it can! Now that SCOTUS has negated our Constitution, as it pertains to citizens, we’ve entered a brave new world.

Constitutional protections are only for the elite and illegal aliens today. Citizens are on the outs with our courts. Today, if the police order you to self incriminate, SCOTUS stands behind them 100%. Proving our Constitution is merely pacifying prose written on friable paper. Hiding their naked despotism behind a cheesecloth of court rulings. We can fight back though. Follow the tactic they used in Scotland. Use the elite’s own despotism against them. Demand local prosecutors charge national elites with their obvious crimes, and order their weapons removed… as well as their security detail. Who are essentially a weapon. Remove their constitutional rights, and you’ll find our Constitution is important to protect after all. But only when their rights are at stake… not and never ours.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Astonishing Hypocrisy

Dear Friends,

It seems astonishing to me, that Israel is supporting Azerbaijan, in its genocide of Armenians!? I thought the words, “Never again,” rang in the minds of Jews across the world? Is it the case that the phrase is hollow? Depends on your definition of “never,” and “again.” While I fully support Israel’s right to exist and defend itself… I don’t support this move. Moreover, Israel is being charged with genocide of Gazans, in their war with Hamas, as a strategy to weaken it. A charge that’s mere rhetoric. Because if they are, Israel is the worse genocider in history. The population of Gaza is growing fast… not shrinking. Like the population of Nagorno Karabackh. Yet Israel is actually guilty now of abetting genocide. Not of Gazans, but of Armenians. Like I said… astonishing!

When Hitler proposed the final solution, the genocide of Jews in Europe, he was asked by an astonished OKH, what would history think of Germany for such a heinous act? Hitler slammed his fist on the table and shouted, “What does history say of the Armenians?!” Meaning, no one cared, that the Young Turks had systematically exterminated every Armenian they could get their hands on. Especially relishing cutting the babies from pregnant women, in front of their husbands and fathers. To show their superiority. Since history had recorded these atrocious crimes against humanity, and has passed judgment… that it was perfectly acceptable, Hitler thought exterminating the Jews in a far more humane way, gas chambers, would be even more acceptable. Boy was he wrong.

While the continued liquidation of Armenians by famine, is acceptable by the world elites, the arming of Armenia against genocide is not. The world is livid that France had the audacity to send arms to Armenia. The globalist shills in the media are already exclaiming Armenia will attack Azerbaijani occupation forces in Nagorno Karabackh! Where Armenians have been systematically exterminated since it was surrounded by Azerbaijan. As the Armenians are exterminated, their cemeteries are plowed under, their homes razed and their churches burned to the ground. All traces of the existence of Armenians in former Armenia are destroyed. Total erasure of the people, culture and past. As if they never existed. Which is what Hitler wanted to do to the Jews, Gypsies and Russians in Leningrad.

None of this would be possible without the coordinated efforts of the unbiased media. The presstitues whore themselves out to the globalist elites, for money, prestige and privilege. While there are lots of articles vilifying France for hindering genocide, and many praising Israel and Azerbaijan, Nargono Karabackh is never mentioned. I suppose, because letting the masses know there is an actual genocide going on there, right now, might change their perspective. Just remember, everything the media tells us is a lie. A lie of omission, commission or yellow gaslight. Even as the media laments the continued war in the Caucuses, because it distracts from the wars in Ukraine, Middle East and the pending war in Taiwan. You can count on the press to lie when the truth would serve them better.

Even as the media shouts about a fake genocide, and covers up a real one, we’re left wondering what’s true and what’s not. We become agitated when propaganda is applied in liberal doses. Becoming a mindless mob instead of mindful men. Which is the idea. Bernays would be proud of today’s media. Making genocide palatable and self defense a crime is a rhetorical coup. Which makes it all the more astonishing that Israel, the former victim of genocide, and the present victim of propaganda, is hiding behind the media’s propaganda and abetting genocide. Supporting Israel’s right to exist and right of self defense, as well as Armenia’s right to exist and Armenia’s right of self defense, is no inconsistency. To support Israel, and not support Armenia however, is the acme of inconsistency. It’s hypocrisy.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Some Are More Equal

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, that “some are more equal than others” (under the law) isn’t only a communist philosophy, but the core philosophy of all elitist ideologies. Aristocracy, oligarchy, socialism, communism, corporatism, fascism… despotism of all breeds hold that the elite are more equal. Only under pure free enterprise are all equal under law. That’s why it doesn’t exist and never will. The elite detest capitalism. It lowers them to the common lot. But, people get rich under capitalism, and the rich have an advantage in court! Which is true. Pareto can’t be denied. Wealth however, when distributed by merit alone, proves a system’s equality under the law. Courts are always corrupt. Elitist systems seek to distribute wealth by political favor instead of merit. To everyone’s disadvantage.

Millions of things are distributed on a Pareto curve. The math is simple but has deep implications. Pareto theorized, 20% of sewer pipes do 80% of the work, in a wastewater system. That curve then applied to electrical grids, highways and musical talent. Moreover, if 20% of a group does 80% of the work, then 20% of the 20% does 80% of that work. Meaning 10% does 64% of the work, has talent… or earns money. The scale then becomes logarithmic. Leaving the square root of the multitude producing 50% of that thing. That’s how 1% end up controlling 90% of the wealth, singing the top songs or write the best books. Under any system. Except communism… where 1 man controls 100% of the wealth. Which I think we can all agree is far more unequal.

Elitists and their ideologies adore unequal treatment under the law. That some are more equal than others is built into the very fabric of every legal system that has ever existed. Think the US is different? Ask any lawyer this question, “Is there any time you know you’ll win in court?” (If they’re honest) Their answer will be, “When I’m facing a pro se litigant.” In other words, the facts, law and justice are irrelevant… the only thing that counts in court is political favor. Defend yourself, and the judge has every incentive to rule against you, and none to rule fairly. Because a judge is an attorney, thus has a monetary interest in enriching lawyers, and so himself. Add to that only the rich can afford good lawyers, and every legal system proves, some are more equal than others.

How about pseudo capitalist legal systems then? Why yes, they’re just as skewed to the powerful and wealthy as all others. Unless they provide free lawyers to everyone without favor. Socializing the legal system. No system does that. The elite would never allow it to exist. It would eliminate their legal privilege. The US provides “free” lawyers to poor people, but those free lawyers aren’t even worth the money the defendant pays for them. Often over worked they don’t have time to defend anyone, low pay gives low incentive, and often they could care less about their clients. Since the state pays the bill, they work for the state, not the defendant. Moreover, if a rich person sues a poor person, no where is the poor person given an attorney, they have to defend themselves pro se. Therefore they lose.

Then there’s the inherent advantage of political favor above and beyond that of the lawyer. A defendant with huge political favor is unconvictable. Even as one with huge negative political favor, cant win, with video proving him innocent. This factor in and of itself shows legal systems are failures at justice. Because they epitomize the adage, some are more equal than others, under the law. The difference between the past and today is, we see it now, in vivid color. The elite have used the Pareto curve to justify their usurpations. To make everyone economically “equal.” By making some more equal under the law. The courts are inherently biased to the wealthy and politically favored… and always will be. So what’s the answer? Fight to limit the power, role and scope of the government, and especially, the law.

Sincerely,

John Pepin
