The World as Idea and Potential

Posted on December 26, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the world is both idea and potential. We could argue all day what the world really is, but in the end, the only definition that counts is what the world is to us. When you see a guitar what do you really see? A guitar? No, a guitar is an amalgam of all things guitar like. Is a guitar without strings still a guitar? Is a sitar a guitar? What a guitar really is, to us, is the idea of a guitar, an archetype. The reality is, there is no such thing as a guitar, the word guitar defines an idea of a thing, the thing itself has much deeper meaning and substance to it than we give it. For instance, there is history in the wood that makes up a guitar. There are slight differences between them in harmonics, tone and dimensions. Yet they are guitars, why, because they have the potential to make guitar music. Which is itself an idea.

Our concept of the world is only our idea of what it is. That idea is constantly evolving as new information becomes available to us. In a constructionist sense, we construct our view, our idea, of the world as we go along. Our idea is never exactly correct, nor can it be, it is only an expedient for us to understand the world. We don’t see the world as it is, because to do so would not further our longevity, it would shorten it. We need our shortcuts to get through a reality that is far too complex for us to understand. If we looked at a single thing and understood to it’s subatomic particles what it is in reality, we would be stuck there for years processing the information to get a perfect understanding. In the meantime, we would die of predation in short order, by something that only has an idea of reality.

It is egoistic to think that Man is the only thing in the universe that is capable of taking an idea, realizing it’s potential, then transforming that idea’s potential into reality. God has done this by creating life itself. Life being nothing but potential realized. Even if you don’t believe in God, but instead that everything came from nothing for no apparent reason, you have to admit that idea and potential was transformed into reality… in a scientifically magical way. Crows and monkeys use tools. Tool use is the recognizing the potential in our idea of a thing, and manifesting that potential in the world. Before a monkey can fish ants from an anthill with a stick, she first has to have a sufficiently complete idea of what a stick is, and then recognize it’s potential, and finally bring that potential into reality.

Our idea of a thing is channeled by our previous knowledge, experience and understanding. At first we might taste a thing and mouth it, as a baby would. That is how we first learned about the world, by experiencing it first hand. Those experiences built up our first ideas of what the world is. Once we became able to understand idea we moved on to potential. Creative people see more potential than non creative types but we all see some potential in everything. That potential is colored by who we are. A psychopath will see a flowering prickly pear… and to him, the potential will be to push someone into it. An agreeable person on the other hand… might look at the same prickly pear and see the potential for jelly from the pears and the beauty of the flowers. Both have an idea and see potential.

Everything that exists is the result of an idea’s potential being brought into reality. Your car, New York City, the US Constitution, space travel and even you yourself, all were once an idea that had potential, and that potential was made real. We all see potential, some different than others, and we all have the capability of bringing potential into reality. We all do it all the time. When we get a cup of coffee, we take the potential of our idea of a cup of coffee and make it real… then enjoy it. That is all we do all day long. Experience reality as ideas with potential and bring some of those potentials into reality. So you see, if we want to improve our lives we should try to hone our ideas, see the best potentials in them and act with intent to bring the good potentials into our reality.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Innovation… The US Economy’s Greatest Advantage.

Posted on December 23, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the United States is not, and has never been a manufacturing, banking, agrarian or industrial economy, it is and has always been, an innovation economy. From John Deere inventing the plow, to Elon Musk creating the reusable Rocket, the US strength is innovation. This is because at the outset, the founding fathers set up a system where innovation would be rewarded. Obviously the government has fallen far short of this ideal, yet in having it in the first place, and that some innovators still get through the filters to become rich, keeps the innovation game going. Yes, agriculture is and has always been a critical part of the US economy, as has been industrialization and manufacture, but they, and indeed the banking system as well… all grudgingly serve innovation and creative types.

There have been notable examples where the US government, especially in the last century, has become an impediment to innovation. Eli Whitney and the cotton gin is known by all US school children. His invention was copied, at the patent office, and multiple patents were put in at the same time. After decades of litigation he finally regained the right to his own invention, an invention that saved cotton producers millions of dollars, yet Whitney was denied a penny for his contribution. Tucker was an example of a innovator who was destroyed by cronyism. His car was too innovative, it would have cost the big three too much money to compete… so they got the government to shut him down through litigation for a fraction of the cost… undermining the US culture of innovation.

The US provides a place where innovators can come to innovate, outside oppression, bigotry and regulations. Tesla created some of his greatest inventions while living in the US. Because he was recognized for the genius he was here, and in America there was opportunity for him to create… so to America he went. It is notable that Elon Musk didn’t single-handedly upend the paradigm for rocket, electric car and online payment technology in South Africa, he came to the US to do it. Countless other inventors came to the US to implement their ideas, in an environment that fosters invention, rather than crushes innovators. They come to the US because their homes do not allow innovation, instead they fear innovators and stymy them in a multitude of ways, driving out creative types.

Most other nations not only do not foster innovation, it is actively hindered. Wherever there are entrenched economic actors, there will be blockages to innovation. Guilds, regulations, bureaucracy and cronyism are antithetical to innovation… because innovation threatens their monopolies. Most governments protect, and feed their zombie corporations the brains of innovators, so it is in the self interests of innovators to flee. That is how Google has grown to the behemoth it has become, by eating smaller companies. Google need not innovate… it eats the brains of innovators. Try starting a business in most countries, unless you have the graft to pay, or are related to someone, it is impossible… and therefore so is innovation. An outsider who is too powerful would pose a threat to the political order.

The greatest advantage of an innovative economy is it is based on bottomless supply and endless demand. There is no limit to how nice people want their lives to be… creating perpetual demand. Innovation is not based on a limited resource… unlimited ideas hide in the ocean of the Id. Banking funds innovators, manufacturing allows them to create what they envision, and industrialization makes innovative products available to all of us. There was just as much brain power in ancient Rome, China, India and Meso America as in the US today… the difference is that in the US, innovation is encouraged, husbanded and nourished, while it wasn’t there and then. Protect the connected at cost to the innovator. Innovation is indeed the goose that laid the golden egg… or would you rather a goose dinner?

The Know It Alls Of Gun Control

Posted on December 21, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, those who advocate for gun control, don’t do it to stop violence, but to establish control. Even a cursory glance at the other positions deeply held by gun control advocates shows they have little regard for human life. Do a Venn diagram, with the center group as gun control advocates, and that circle would largely overlap with pro abortionists, transsexual manipulators, would be despots and know it alls. No sane person can argue that someone who supports the slaughter of millions of babies is someone who has a high regard for human life. Moreover, the arrogance of those who would disarm their fellows, in the face of human history, are either stupid beyond reckoning… else diabolical beyond imagining.

Gun control advocates say that if guns were not available there would be no gun crime. Which in a naive way makes perfect sense. Of course it ignores the fact that drugs are illegal and people get them, gun crime is greatest in the cities in the US with the greatest gun restrictions, guns are totally illegal in the nations on Earth with the highest violent death rates, Europe where guns are strictly controlled as is speech is seeing a rise in bombings and shootings, etc… all these facts are lost on the know it alls who demand we disarm, before those who have a history of mass slaughter… because, it’s for the children. In the inner cities where gun crime is out of control, the people committing it are barred from owning guns at all. Australia has seen a rise in general violent crime since it outlawed guns.

Which is to utterly ignore the elephant in the room of violent deaths, that most people murdered in the last two centuries, have been killed by their own governments. The number dwarfs that of gun violence by the hoi polloi, (less than 40 million in the 20th century). From the French Revolution on, every government that sought to rationally order society, the economy and people, has been the spring for rivers of blood. The stories of the guillotine in Eighteenth Century France are as poignant and informative as they are unread. After the Young Turks committed genocide against the Armenians, sometimes ripping babies from the bellies of pregnant women in front of the fathers, to get them to convert, Stalin exterminated the Kulaks and tried mightily to liquidate the Ukrainians. Hitler copied and exterminated the Gypsies and six million Jews.

Since then genocide has become a general practice. Mao’s artificial famines and the Great Leap Forward killed around forty five million people. Pol Pot attempted to eradicate the capitalist gene from Cambodia. The Tutsies were slaughtered largely by machete. Obama started ISIS that led to the genocide of the Yazidis and Christians in Iraq and Syria. So you see, the possibility of being killed by a random attacker is nill, compared to the possibility of being killed in some mass slaughter, by an unlimited government. In every case, the victims were disarmed before, sometimes long before their extermination. So they couldn’t fight back. Yet, despite the undeniable weight of human history, gun control advocates are willing to put all our eggs in that same failed basket.

The scandal at Rotherham England shows the utter uselessness of the police where the elite support the crimes. Children were being abducted and raped by organized gangs. If the fathers knew where their daughters were being held, raped and sold into slavery, and reported it, the police would arrest the fathers. That couldn’t happen where the fathers were armed. Only where the fathers are disarmed can our daughters be taken off the street, abetted by the police, government bureaucracy and elite, to be raped into submission and sold into a life of prostitution. Now, some people might say that such violence perpetrated against innocent girls should be stopped, that genocide should be prevented, that artificial famines should be actively fought… but not gun control advocates. They trust the government.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The All Consuming Nanny State

Posted on December 19, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, a natural wariness of danger is normal, but when it becomes all encompassing it becomes pathologically neurotic. We have speed limits to mitigate the danger of driving, but we allow driving, even though it is very dangerous. To eliminate all danger is to cease living a human life and instead ossifying to something less. We need some danger and we need safety, the question then becomes, what is the correct level of danger we should accept? That level of danger is the zone of proximate development. There must be enough safety that few are harmed but real danger else no one will advance. This is one fundamental problem I have with the welfare state mindset. It seeks to eliminate all danger and mitigate the consequences of bad behavior.

The nanny state protects and coddles us so we never need grow up. In a nanny state, the people are children, who need to be fed, clothed and housed. Such people are incapable of living on their own. Should the nanny state collapse, they would be unable to fend for themselves, and many more would die than is necessary, under such circumstances. In a state where the people are encouraged to grow up, face real danger and over come obstacles, if there is a collapse, they are mature enough to come together and overcome, rather than splinter and go under. Leaders, no matter their intent, do no favors to the people when they create a nanny state. In reality, they do the people a great disservice, in that the nanny state steals from those it is supposed to serve.

A greater theft cannot be committed than the theft of one’s potential. Take away the potential of Tesla and we might still not have AC lights or three phase motors. How many Tesla’s do you suppose the nanny state has stolen from us? By stealing potential from possible luminaries, the nanny state steals from everyone and the future. For the same reason there are signs in national parks, “Do Not Feed the Bears,” because it makes them dependent…they never develop. What is the just punishment for erasing the polio vaccine? How many times has that been done… we will never know the breakthroughs we might have had. Because the state sought to take away all danger and mitigate the consequences of bad behavior, thus infantilizing the people.

The nanny state is neurotic. We can deduce that a neurotic state is run by neurotic people. People consumed with safety and eliminating risk. Where the state becomes the all consuming mother. The consequences for the children of such mothers are well known. The same is in store for a people who live under an all consuming nanny state. Robbing the people of their hero’s journey and creating victims, prey animals cowering before an almighty chaos of the unknown. An unknown we never dare explore, because to do so, would endanger the very people the all consuming mother seeks to infantilize. It is a truth that to survive, some wariness is called for, but too much is stifling. The neurotic leaders of the nanny state must face their internal fears, fears they project onto society as a whole.

How safe should society make it for people then? If total safety is out, as is anarchy, what is the optimal state of danger for a society and civilization to grow? At the zone of proximate development. The place where learning is done. That level is the optimal level of safety and danger that the leaders of a nation should aim at. Perhaps we don’t want another Bonny and Clyde, shooting up banks with Browning Automatic Rifles, but we also don’t want the State to follow us around with a pillow. Of the two, the one closer to the zone of proximate development, is the one where a Bonny and Clyde can exist. It is only there where people can actually choose not to be that. Economic, cultural, spiritual, technological and humanistic growth is the result of keeping danger at the zone of proximate development.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The True Goal of Socialism… Eugenics.

Posted on December 16, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, socialism is not as much a system of economics, as it is a system of eugenics. Eugenics is the pseudo science of breeding the perfect human being. Progressives undertook this openly under the Woodrow Wilson administration. Hitler praised American Progressives for the ideas he would implement to create the master race. Pol Pot didn’t slaughter the entire population of Phenom Penn out of hatred, no, he killed them out of love, love for the new man he would create from their deaths, he was just culling the weeds. When Stalin starved to death the Kulaks, then the Ukrainians, he was using famine as a tool to wean the capitalist genes from the greater soviet Gene pool. Mao took this policy to the extreme. Now, these are powerful examples, but there is a deeper argument to be made.

Marx, the tree that bore the burr that contained Bolshevism, Nazism, progressivism, socialism and post modernism, wrote extensively about how his communism would produce the new man… The “species man.” More of an ant than an individual, he would be a happy part of the collective. Doing his or her part, even throwing themselves bodily into a hole to be trampled to death, if that was in the best interest of the collective. Such an ideal being would usher in a new age. An age without poverty, class, oppression, social strata, elites or rulers. Such sublimely supreme beings would have no need of rulers, each seeking only the interests of the whole, not themselves. Of course to create such a Man, one has to breed him… change history, society, education and indeed the very environment we live in.

As Lenin said, to make an omelet one has to break a few eggs, meaning the ends justify the means. (Although an egg has no interest in making omelets). The ends of socialism and socialists, if you accept Marx as an authority… is to breed the ideal human being. This is also called eugenics. It is not surprising that people who are bedazzled by the advances of science would think scientists able to breed the ideal man. Look at how mankind has changed corn through breeding to the point it cannot reproduce without the aid of a farmer. It is exponentially more concentrated, has more nutrients, and more calories than the marsh grass it was bred from. Look at how breeding has changed wolves into chihuahuas… It is not a leap to think they could do these wonders for mankind as well.

To that end, Bolsheviks, Nazis, Marxists, Maoists, Progressives and Bolivars have slaughtered many people. Breaking the eggs so to speak. Since they believe the ends justify the means, and they are strong enough to implement the means necessary to achieve those glorious ends, they have no choice but to slaughter their way through the human race, erasing genes that don’t serve the greater end… creating the socialist man. The post modernists haven’t had a go at real power yet, but rest assured, they have the right stuff to do what is necessary, to move the human race closer to their ideal. Once we have become socialist man, all our problems will go away, the environment will heal and we can live in harmony with nature, albeit at a much lower population. Ala the Georgia Guide Stones.

When viewed in this light the slaughter of the twentieth century becomes understandable. Up to now, historians have concentrated on how the individual could do such evil, and viewed the artificial famines as ways to amass political power. They have ignored Marx’s own writings however. The words of Pol Pot and Manuel Guzman explain why so many must die… so that others may live in utopia. When a post modernist claims the Nazis are totally unlike the Bolsheviks, they are lying to you, or themselves. They are two peas from the same pod. They and all socialist philosophies are systems of eugenics, every bit as much as they claim to be about economic justice. This needs to be understood, so that we can assess socialism in it’s real context, not by some fabricated narrative that has no bearing to reality.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Gambling Versus Taking Chances

Posted on December 14, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, when a young person rolls the die of life, the odds are greatly against them, but as we grow older, and therefore wiser, more knowledgeable and experienced, the likelihood of a better roll grows, even as we roll the dice less. The reasons for this are many. When we are young we have less to lose if we get a bad roll, and consequently, we are more willing to risk nothing than something. Once we get experience and see just how bad the odds are, skewed, albeit by our experience as young people, we become afraid to roll those dice. Another factor of age is contentment. Once someone has reached a certain age, which varies by person, we become contented much easier than we would have when we were younger. All these qualities are the reason the young take chances while the old don’t.

Which is unfortunate for mankind. Older people have abilities and knowledge that is important to the world. That the world is largely denied the benefit of this is one of the tragic ironies of life. From old hands, that can no longer fiddle Grumbling Old Man and Cackling Old Woman, to minds that can no longer design the Apollo Space craft by hand without calculators, the world is diminished with that loss. Those with their abilities intact, on the other hand, are loathe to roll the dice for fear of losing that which they have gained. Further diminishing the value of their knowledge and skills to the world. The loss to the Lot of Mankind is incalculable. Simply because the profit loss table we all have in our heads is biased against loss.

The young on the other hand have little to lose for rolling a dice. If they fail, they have plenty of time to try again. When there is little to lose why not roll often? Sadly, many never roll the dice, having been taught there is no hope. Nihilism is taught as a virtue today. At the turn of the twentieth century, when the socialist economist Thorstein Veblen was asked, Why don’t Americans want to take from the rich? Veblen replied, Because they think they can get rich. That attitude of possibility was slowly eroded by the government monopoly school system, the entertainment media and our toxic culture, until the only people who start businesses today are immigrants in the US! All because they are too ignorant of how many road blocks the government puts in the way of the small business person.

Which is unfortunate for the world. Every opportunity that a young person wastes is a loss for the economy as a whole. This is because the aggregate economy is the sum total of how good everyone is doing. The better anyone does… the better we all do. Because the more wealth an economy has, the easier it is to get wealthy. A wealthy economy can afford to innovate, bring new products to market, as well as shrink the numbers of the poor, to the minimum the human condition will allow. Each dice not rolled is a wasted opportunity for the world economy to grow, as well as the lost opportunity for the young person who might have become rich. Which is a strong incentive to start teaching the entrepreneurial ethos, how to write a business plan and economics to young people.

While gambling is a sin, that impulse to take chances for profit is a virtue. Obviously, a nation of inveterate gamblers will be impoverished and corrupt, but a nation of entrepreneurs will be wealthy, healthy and safe. The difference is what is taught to the young. If we are taught the only path to riches is the lottery, that is the path of least resistance, on the other hand… if we are taught the path to riches is by starting a business, inventing a product or writing the next Macbeth, we will take that as the path of least resistance and many more firms will be started, inventions made and great works of literature written. How many great works are never produced because the risk was too great, or the defeatist mindset? To our universal detriment. Don’t gamble… take chances.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

You Are What You Dwell On

Posted on December 12, 2019 by john

Dear friends,

It seems to me, that which you dwell on, is what you become. Dwell on hate, and you become bitter, angry and vengeful, dwell on love, and you become happy, naive and forgiving. Some people dwell on how much suffering is in the world, they become nihilistic, angry, and hedonistic. Others dwell on racism, economic inequality, crime and/or hate the rich, they become zealots who will defile any norm to harm those they see as oppressors. Still others dwell on the joys of life, they become excited, happy and enthusiastic. All of us are guilty to some extent. The well balanced however, don’t dwell, as much as try to stay balanced. Recognizing there is love, oppression, joys and sufferings, one becomes enlightened in a sense. Stop dwelling and you learn to see the world as it is.

I wager, every single person who is clinically depressed, not because someone they loved died or other personal tragedy, of which there is no way around but through… dwell on foolishness. Allowing stray crazy thoughts free range in one’s mind is a sure path to becoming those stray crazy thoughts. The depressed person’s thoughts become a merry go round of circular thinking. This same thing holds true for many mass shooters. They get it in their head that there is no sense to life, it is irrelevant, we are but tiny motes on a microscopic planet, circling a solar system in a superfluous galaxy. That thought circles in their heads like a vulture a dying man. Eventually it lands and eats him. People who are depressed or nihilistic can change their minds… by changing what they think about.

You all know someone who is perpetually angry. I knew a guy like that. At his core he was a terrific guy, but he was quick to anger. He would set across the break table from me, smoking his Bel Aire, and stare into my eyes. His would go red as he would recount, the people attending the church next to his house had knocked down his snow banks… AGAIN! Of course, you could put a plumb bob on any of his snowbanks, not one would be out of plumb. The veins on his forehead would bulge and he would go nearly apoplectic… days later. One Sunday afternoon I was called and asked to do his job. I said, “Of course… Is John Okay?” “No, he died today, his wife found him in the driveway, he had a heart attack shoveling snow…” It hadn’t snowed in a week. John was 52.

Dwelling on things that made him angry didn’t serve his interests very well did it? While dwelling on every bad thing that has ever happened to you, is a sure path to that end, dwelling on the love you have for your children, wife, husband, brothers, sisters, mother and father, is a path to all encompassing love. Because we project onto the world what we think and hold in our hearts. Moreover, we create in the world that which we think. I am of the opinion that quantum physics teaches us that reality is not at all what we thought it was… is. Our thoughts effect reality itself, and there are ground breaking experiments proving this hypothesis every day. The IONs Institute and the experiments of Tom Campbell are doing yeoman’s work in this area.

The truly enlightened don’t dwell on anything, they incorporate all of existence into themselves, forgoing dwelling on one aspect. In doing so they become wise. Yes there is great evil in the world, evil we create by our thoughts, by dwelling on it we make it corporeal, both in the world and in our own lives. When we dwell on the good we manifest good both in our lives and the world as well. When we incorporate the good and evil in the world, that is when we transcend normality and become visionaries. In a land of the blind the one eyed man is king. Dwelling on things blinds us, all we can see is what we dwell on. Not dwelling however, instead seeing the world as it is, gives us extra sensory perception, making us… the one eyed man in the land of the blind.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Progressive Innovation… Appeal to Authority

Posted on December 9, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, we have exchanged the authorities we are supposed to appeal to. The Enlightenment was all about abandoning appeal to authority and replacing it with discourse. Instead we have replaced the clergy with scientists. Some would say this is for the better… because now we listen to professionals. Before we took as the authority people who believed in a fairy tale. To them, I would ask, if professionals are always the best authority, why did so many die at the hands of professionals in the twentieth century? They used to say it was 100 million, now with better records, the number is climbing closer to 200 million. Of course, people were oppressed to death before as well… but that was the point, to get away from appeal to authority in the first place, and stop the oppression.

Appeal to authority is when someone claims the mantle of authority and so debate is no longer acceptable. This was done before the Enlightenment all the time. It was a way to silence people who asked uncomfortable questions. Someone would ask, “Why must the world be flat?” To that they were harangued with appeals to authority. Because they say it is! Appeal to authority says that discourse is unacceptable because the authority has spoken. It is a means to silence dissent, stop innovation, insure group think and allow a people to go insane. This is why appeal to authority was discounted hundreds of years ago… in favor of discourse as the true authority. Because, if an authority cannot do combat in the arena of ideas, he or she is not an authority… but a huckster.

Today, led by new class progressives, the very people who should be defending the advances of the Enlightenment, have brought appeal to authority back into fashion. Not only is it chic, it has a whole new angle to manipulate people into silence, group think and insanity. The new and improved, will make you a prettier woman or a more hansom man, appeal to authority is backed by science! It is now no different than the math that allowed mankind to go to the Moon! You don’t have to think, scientists will now do it for you… for free! Just keep your pretty mouth shut, and accept whatever the “scientists” tell you, and everything will be okay. Well, it didn’t for that almost 200 million in the last century, but it probably will for us this time.

The singular example of today’s infatuation with appeal to authority is the global warming crowd. Discourse is not allowed nor questions or inconvineint facts, like the lack of correct predictions. The Catholic church, for example, has a rule that if a prophet is wrong one single time, he or she is not a prophet. Scientists have no such stringent requisite however… especially climate alarmists. Question not the authority, they are scientists. So far, climate alarmists are batting zero for thousands of predictions. Now, this level of accuracy is unacceptable in religious circles, but apparently is perfectly acceptable for “scientists.” Today, the authority doesn’t even have to have a single correct prediction under his belt, just, you know… science and stuff. It’s the consensus. They took a vote.

The most dangerous thing about appeal to authority is that it allows societies to go off the rails. The Mayan’s polluted their own drinking water with the bodies of their human sacrifices. I imagine someone thought, “Maybe putting rotting corpses in our drinking water might be what is making us sick?” But dared not say anything, the gods had spoken. All authority must be questioned, all decision of theirs must be debated, otherwise people end up drinking water polluted with rotting corpses. The more adamant the “authority” is that they be followed unquestioned, the more important it is to question them. Science is never settled, paradigms shift all the time, and so even scientists cannot be an authority we appeal to. Instead, listen, debate, think, sleep on it… then answer for yourself.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Too Big To Punish

Posted on December 7, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, some people are just too big to punish. Like the too big to fail banks, they are systemically protected, because their fall could effect the fortunes of other powerful people. Now, clearly, the elite don’t want us dwelling on this fact… so they usually keep such things under the radar. So we can continue with our willful blindness. Recently however, our noses have been rubbed in that smelly fact, so much so it is getting hard to maintain the fantasy that law is applied equally. This illusion is of paramount importance. If the hoi polloi woke up to the fact law is not applied equally, we will have to take the next logical step, and realize Law is therefore only a means to oppress, not protect order. From there, every form of mischief becomes possible.

Hillary Clinton is the obvious first example of someone who is too big to prosecute. Her crimes are numerous and storied. From destroying evidence under subpoena to mishandling classified documents, she has got away with crimes that would get you or I buried under a supermax for. Barak Obama, being the first African American President, is also too big to punish. Imagine if Trump used executive privilege to silence an investigation, like Obama did to cover up Fast and Furious? Jailed a filmmaker to cover up a terrorist attack? What if Trump put malware on reporters computers to monitor them? George Soros, as has been made clear in the Ukrainian scandal, is also too big to hold to account. The tentacles of his Open Society non governmental organization are everywhere.

Recently James Comey was identified as having broken the law by Inspector Horowitz in his report. The Attorney General declined to prosecute Comey, former head of the FBI, because to do that would be “vindictive.” Now, it wasn’t vindictive to sentence Roger Stone to 50 years in prison for “lying” to Congress in a debunked hoax, in a set up… but it would be to charge a man who exploited his position of authority and trust for political purposes. That shows a level of absurdity that someone with an intelligence quotient of 75 could see through. How can it be vindictive to punish someone for abusing their office… but not for giving life to someone who was the victim of that abuse!!!! Unless, Comey’s being held to account would harm other powerful people, making him too big to punish.

The other day Horowitz’s office leaked information, a low level lawyer for the FBI altered documents, to make the case to the FISA court to spy on Carter Page more powerful. The leak also went on to say that it didn’t materially effect the FISA finding. Anyone who believes that probably has purchased the Tappan Zee Bridge a few times. It does appear we have found the janitor who was the mastermind behind the Russian collusion hoax, and I am sure he will be severely punished. Of course, Brenen, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Ohr, and the rest, will live on Gilligan’s island. Free from prosecution because, after all, they are too big to punish. Unlike a lowly functionary who can be made to take the rap for them. There is no limit to the lengths the elite will go to protect the too big to punish.

With the Epstein murder, covered up as an unlikely suicide, and the dropping of all investigations into the elites in his black book of pedophiles, it is undeniable that some are too big to punish. Why else finagle an impossible suicide, with such absurd failures leading to it, that it amounts to a message. That message is to keep quiet else we will get you… anywhere. Further proving that if the too big to punish are threatened, there is no limit to how far they will go, to silence and intimidate witnesses. Now that we know there are people who are too big to punish, what are we going to do about it? If Trump is Impeached and actually thrown out of office, will people revolt? Maybe, but a better solution would be to flood Congress and the Senate with letters demanding accountability for the too big to punish!

Control

Posted on December 4, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, so far, it appears that the twenty first century will be one of censorship and political oppression… again. Mirroring the twentieth this century opened with such promise for free speech. When the reality of free speech, that the hoi polloi could garner the same or more viewers as the state media outlets, the globalist new class progressive faction went into overtime censoring libertarians. This had been happening on our university campuses for a decade before. Since the 1990s our colleges have become bastions of group think, discourse and suppression of critical thinking. The same tactics that had been so effective at silencing libertarians was exported to the internet. Since the turn of the century the clamor from progressives to silence anyone who disagrees with them has become shrill.

A little known fact is that Google was started with CIA feed money, making it’s original motto, “do no evil.” an insiders joke. Google, which has established a monopoly on search around the world, and it’s subsidiary Youtube is another monopoly it controls. One firm controlling two monopolies, so progressive. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc… the large established gatekeepers of information all censor their users based on political favor and political content. This was made possible by them becoming monopolies and thus the gate keepers of information, as the networks were before the internet. This was a natural reaction to the effect of free speech. Allowing anyone to speak and have a voice turned out to be inconvenient for the elite. Their hoaxes were exposed by citizen journalists.

The censorship of Eric Cairamella’s name everywhere is alarming. It would not be possible if not for the total control of information by the new class progressive deep state. They have a monopoly on search, social media, over the air media, entertainment media and public media, and they are using them in every way possible. Manipulating search results to favor progressive leaning sites over conservative, larger corporations over smaller firms, politically favored pundits over independent journalists and convention over innovation… is a diabolical means of manipulating people. Today, even though Ciaramella’s name is widely known, and even has been openly exposed by a congressman, there is still a media blackout, even to the point of Facebook and Twitter deleting any mention of his name!!!

Groups dedicated to true journalism are now silenced as purveyors of hate speech with the gusto that the Brown shirts smashed Jewish store fronts. Mrc.org is one such organization. It illustrates media bias, and so must be silenced for revealing truths about liars. That they are being actively silenced highlights the point better than any well thought out phrase. We have to ask ourselves though, if the new class progressive faction was so certain about their message, why are they willing to resort to such underhanded methods to force it down people’s throats, why not let it stand on it’s own? Why does the progressive message have to be the only one people hear? If it has merit people will recognize that merit and vote for it. Unless progressives themselves know in their hearts they are snake oil salesmen.

All censorship is about thought control and thought control is really only about control. Control what people think and they are your slaves. Wind them up, make them mad and point them at a political opponent, in an act of nihilistic stochastic terrorism… like CNN did at a smirking teenage boy wearing a MAGA hat, and people become weapons. CNN thought the boy had it coming… for having the audacity to wear such triggering head gear. We see this type of thought control everywhere in the media along with the censorship. Not only are the “unbiased media” too afraid of the deep state to mention Ciaramella’s name, but they willingly smear good people to establish fear, of them and the deep state. Make no mistake, that is why Epstein’s murder was so apparent, it was a message to instill fear.

Sincerely,

John Pepin
