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,

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.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

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

The Democrat’s Frankenstein’s Monster

Posted on February 16, 2020 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, that an avowed socialist of any persuasion, is the front runner of the democrat primary, is not at all shocking. Even in 2000, a socialist couldn’t get national recognition, today they are the preferred candidate of our young people. In the last few decades, under Common Core, our children have been indoctrinated into the wonders of socialism. Not the reality of it, but the glittering lie that has beguiled so many, and resulted in the deaths of well over a hundred million people in the twentieth century alone. Then again, ugly truths are not very attractive, while glittering lies catch the eye, hold the imagination and intrigue the mind. That our youth embrace socialism, democratic, national, or whatever, is the direct result of it being driven down their throats.

Our schools ceased being an education system a century ago. It’s purpose became to indoctrinate children into whatever mindset the elite want. This is a much more efficient means of controlling the hoi polloi than allowing people to think for themselves! Robots don’t compete with the elite, they do what they are told, if a few die of opioid overdoses, all the better, gets rid of the surplus population. The progressive doctrine of our government monopoly school system, teaches what to think, not how to think. Rather than teaching children logic, philosophy and reason, our progressive schools teach, that socialism is morally superior to capitalism, that Marxism has never been tried, that the Administrative state is more efficient, professional, benevolent and modern than that outdated Constitutional system.

How many kids, when they get out of school, eschew marriage, careers and children for participation in ANTIFA. This is not due to some true desire of the kids for “justice,” it is due to the programming they received in school. The ongoing transgender crime against humanity is another absurdity that is being pushed into the minds of our children. An absurdity that serves no one’s interests but perverts who desire girls with penises. Do you think that it is out of some internal conflict between their femininity and masculinity… or something they have been manipulated into? Our schools no longer teach children they have a stake in society and it’s outcome, it teaches them they are the victims of society, that it is a bad thing that must be destroyed. Because chaos is the path to utopia for progressives.

Progressives know their propaganda has a shelf life. It only lasts in the minds of the brainwashed as long as they stay out of reality. Once they come into contact with reality, the brainwashing wears off quick, and so each generation must be propagandized, to keep the population of sycophants seeking their own enslavement, at the desired level. Now that the chickens have come home to roost, the democrats are panicking. They want pliable people without the ability to see through their obvious manipulations but instead they have created Frankenstein’s monster. Bernie Sanders, the man who was a devout communist during the Cold War, and promoted the Soviet System over the American one, is now their front runner. So here we are, the democrats are terrified of the very creature they created.

Even Chris Mathews knows that a communist in the White house would be a disaster of biblical proportions. Since they are scared of their own creation, they will do what democrats do, they will manipulate the results of elections, undermine them and if necessary, openly steal the nomination from him again. I wonder though… if the democrats are not as afraid of a Sanders Presidency, as they are that he is no match for Donald Trump? After all, Trump has lowered unemployment in historically under served communities to never before seen levels. He has cut regulations, lifting the jack boot from the throat of small business, and given every man woman and child in the US a stake in it’s outcome. Maybe democrats are not as afraid of our republic’s demise… as they are of the loss of power?

Sincerely,

John Pepin

On Participating in Our Own Deception

Posted on February 14, 2020 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, there are a variety of reasons people go along with their own deception, out of misplaced courtesy, fear, to get something, to keep the peace, etc… There are as many reasons as there are people. Every reason is mere justification for not acting, an expedient, so we don’t have to be uncomfortable… but in the end, participating in our own deception always leads to our suffering. So we see that not acting when we should, is like putting money in the bank at high compounded interest, but instead of magnified profits… we receive compounded pain instead. We are “expected” to be willing participants in our own deception all the time. It is a major way psychopaths, narcissists and sociopaths manipulate people into self harm. To recognize it is the first step to avoiding it.

In business when we willingly participate in our own deception, we establish the precedent that we will bend, whenever they demand it. This obviously puts the person willing to help his or her deceiver at a strong disadvantage to the person who will not. Insuring that the business transaction will not go smoothly, leave hard feelings, will be a lose/win and will end up being a zero sum gain. Moreover, to go along with being deceived, out of courtesy, is giving courtesy to someone who is being discourteous. This is the opposite of both the golden rule and reciprocal attribution. The Golden Rule has context, if evil is being perpetrated on one, that one is not required to help. If someone openly demands another participate in their own deception, that is attributing the other as subhuman.

In our personal lives participating in our own deception is a way to insure we are never happy, fulfilled or our needs met. This is a manipulation tactic used by narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths. They do or say something, then deny saying it. Next they often gaslight and attack you for “remembering it wrong.” Going along is a sure path to misery because you are giving someone without compassion unfair power over you. If it is your spouse, eventually you will be drained and the narcissist will have to turn to someone else for their narcissistic supply, maybe your child. If it is a coworker, you will eventually have to leave that place of employment, unless you can regain control, and if it is in an extended family member, you may have to cut ties with them.

In government, willingly participating in our own deception is a sure path to oppression, tyranny and economic ruin. This is a favorite tactic of governments that intend to become despotic. Solzhenitsyn said it best in his Gulag Archipelago, that lies lead to gulags. In Solzhenitsyn’s mind the lies run throughout society and government. Everyone lies and protects the lie. It isn’t hard to understand that when the people participate in their own deception, by government, they are giving others power over not only their lives, fortunes and children… but of their very thoughts. Once you help someone deceive you, you gain a stake in that deception. It becomes in your perceived interests to not only maintain the lie, but to promote it, so others accompany you in your self deception.

The terms used to describe our participation in our own deception are sand bagging and gaslighting. Gaslighting, where someone tells you reality is not what you see it to be, as a way to manipulate you, or sand bagging, where someone tells you a lie, you both know is a lie, that you are expected to accept out of courtesy. Which is absurd, since a sandbagger is someone who deserves the opposite of courtesy. At every level of observation, allowing ourselves to be sandbagged and gaslighted is a sure path to suffering. That is why a civilized person will call out sandbagging and gaslighting whenever they see it. Not simply to protect ourselves, but to protect society from such pathological behavior, in business, our personal lives and our governments.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Utopia Achieved

Posted on February 12, 2020 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems befuddling to me, why people in NYC have a problem with the violent crime, those in San Francisco worry about feces on the sidewalks, and people in Baltimore fret over their record murder rate… they voted for it. Perhaps the voters in those places do not worry about the situation, but those who live elsewhere and upon looking at them, are horrified, and project our disgust onto the people who live there. This may be a better explanation, since the voters continue to support the politicians who are bringing them the violent crime, drug addictions, homelessness, disease, hopelessness and gang violence. It may just be that the people who live in those places, like to be preyed upon, taxed to poverty, live in a glass bubble, and in a petri dish… or it might just be the elite who like such things.

Places like Baltimore where crimes are not punished, if they are committed by a demographic with political favor, amazingly, have high crime rates. George Soros has funded many local political races recently, and the one thing all the candidates he backs have in common, is that they openly refuse to punish “small” crimes. Especially small crimes committed by politically favored demographics. This has happened across the US. Places as diverse as Philadelphia and Dallas have new prosecutors who openly refuse to do their job. Another common denominator is that once elected, and their policies put in place, the crime rates skyrocket. Not only in frequency but in severity. One wonders if the two are not correlated? Not punishing crime… leads to more crime?

It would appear that in places that have lavished their public servants with absurd pensions and benefits, as well as astoundingly high wages, and where pay is in no way tied to performance… the budgets are a mess. It is no secret that progressives believe in a livable wage, especially for themselves. That is why in small communities like Fresno, town council members get one hundred thousand a year plus perks. Unionized public servants often get one hundred percent of their working salary and benefits when retired after twenty years. Dallas Texas, for example, has had to violate it’s contract with retired police. Detroit is effectively bankrupt and NYC is in the same cue a bit further back. It would appear that progressive policies are not conducive to healthy public budgets.

Homelessness, disease and filth, were once a quality of third world hell holes, but progressives have brought these things back to the US for us to enjoy. LA has seen a resurgence of Leprosy. Now that is something to be proud of. Typhoid, scabies, cholera, etc… diseases of filth are now popular in California. Where progressive policies have made the streets open sewers again, like back in the middle ages. Plague is even possible under these conditions. It is almost like… allowing people to defecate in public on the sidewalks, encouraging people to live on the streets and providing sanctuary for people from across the planet with whatever sickness… fosters the conditions for disease? Oddly, in old shows like Rockford Files, you see very little feces on the streets? What changed?

All these things, brought to the voters of our large cities by their progressive overlords, with their administrative governance, must be to the liking of the voters, else they would vote the progressives from office. Unless there is so much vote fraud their votes no longer count? Nevertheless, there must be widespread support for the policies that have led to such conditions, or there would be protests. Since we don’t see any protests against sanctuary cities or progressive policies, but we do for progressive foolishness. ANTIFA protests that are quite violent take place in the most progressive places, often using violence and intimidation to silence opposing viewpoints. Showing the voters either like their utopias… or have lost control of their government? Else people would be fleeing those places.

How the Present Predicts the Future

Posted on February 9, 2020 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, by looking at someone’s present actions, we can predict their future. This is no secret, people have been doing this since humans started walking, but it is a truth lost on many. If a husband puts a password on his phone, starts working late without overtime to show for it, etc… you can predict that in the future he will be caught cheating. If an employee comes in late every day, hung over and smells of liqueur in the afternoon, that employee will, most probably, be found to be an alcoholic later on. If a company stops paying overtime and checks begin to bounce, you can predict that firm will be experiencing bankruptcy soon. Moreover, if a government takes the guns from it’s citizens, then it is probable… that government has other usurpations planned for the future.

People have to follow laws else we will face the government’s monopoly on violence. Government’s, on the other hand, are supposed to follow their Constitutions, else they will be called bad names. When a person stays up late at night, is out at all hours, carries burglary tools with him and always has fairly new expensive goods, he will probably be discovered a thief. In the same vein, when a government works in the dark, wields law as a weapon, and always seems to have plenty of power and money to do whatever it wants, sooner or later the people will discover that government is a thief… of their Constitutional Rights. The difference is that if the person is caught, he or she faces prison, if the government is caught, it gets to keep the ill gotten power and no one is punished.

When a person is always talking behind other people’s backs, full of other people’s secrets and mealy mouthed when confronted, you can bet she is untrustworthy. A government that selectively leaks information to forward a political faction’s interests, uses personal destruction as the default mode, lies constantly, and redacts everything possible when forced to relinquish any information at all, you can bet that government cannot be trusted. Like a company that sells defective products. Everything you get from that company is either broken or dangerously defective. Would you continue to buy from that store? Everything government provides is defective, often dangerously, yet there is no remedy for a defective government product… while there is, for a firm.

Someone who is caught in lie after lie, is constantly manipulating people to create chaos, has no empathy and harms people without a thought… will be discovered a narcissist or psychopath later. A government who’s mouth is full of lies, manipulates people into self harm for fun and profit, imports criminals to do the crimes Americans and Europeans are too human hearted to do, pass laws that create pernicious incentives, consider human beings nothing but cannon fodder, and pass regulations that destroy people, businesses and towns without a care… will eventually be discovered to be malevolent and despotic. While the psychopath who is discovered has to move, and take his malevolence with him, the government of psychopaths does not, the people must endure that psychopathic government.

It all starts with people allowing their government to do things we all know lead to bad places… but doing nothing about it. Once it comes to the government rounding up the guns, like in Virginia, it is almost too late. Once government disarms the people, there is nothing, and I mean NOTHING stopping them from totalitarianism… but their “good hearted nature.” History is rife with examples of governments that telegraphed their malevolent intent beforehand. Hitler rounded up most of the guns, Stalin certainly didn’t allow guns, Mao only allowed the Red Guard to have guns, else how could they have gone house to house and taken all the food, leading to tens of millions starving to death? People do things to move towards a goal. We do not do things in a vacuum. Governments are the same.

Sincerely,

John Pepin
