Sympathy for the Progressive

Posted on October 14, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, pragmatically, while the atheist progressive must work tirelessly to force his or her version of unreality on the world, those of us who serve Christ, can work hard all day yet sleep at night, in the sure knowledge that God is working behind the scenes. This is because the atheist has no prayer to quiet their mind in the evening, and they cannot be comforted by the certitude that God will eventually put the world right, they must do it themselves. The other option is to become nihilistic and topple what others have managed to pile up. Now, this is not all my argument, it is mostly that of William James, the American philosopher of pragmatism. Back then, it was the progressives that were considered to be pragmatists and constitutionalists who were the idealists.

Today, the reality of the twentieth century upends that notion. The lesson of the twentieth century is that collectivism is a total utter and complete failure of epic proportions, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of millions in the name of politics. Each death one step closer to utopia. The carnage that reaped the human race, when it fell under the siren’s call of socialism, has almost led to our annihilation on more than one occasion, so far. Imagine, we have almost destroyed ourselves… over the question of whether or not the rationally ordered society, economy and culture is better than freedom, laissez faire and complexity. Hundreds of millions died in famines, gulags and classicide, to “prove” socialism is better. Ponder the absurdity of that… if you want to understand the Twentieth Century.

Pragmatism is a utilitarian measure of an idea, philosophy or practice. It postulates that the measure of anything is the outcome. If it results in an improvement in the human condition it is good. If it results in the opposite, pragmatically, it is bad. Pragmatism judges by the fruits not the intentions. In the early Twentieth Century, before the fruits of the rationally ordered economy, society and culture became undeniable… it could be argued that a rationally ordered economy is “going” to be better than one run on chaos! It seemed self evident to egoistic self serving intellectuals at the time. The problem is, human nature does not lend itself to rational order, or to rationally ordering. The result of socialism has been catastrophe, and as such, socialism can no longer be called pragmatic, but idealistic.

The idealistic atheist progressive has it tough. They really do. Promoting socialism as if it hasn’t been utterly discredited, teaching children that fire doesn’t burn, water no longer wets, that there are no boys or girls but a whole plethora of gender to pick from, that dismembering a baby is not killing, etc… They have to embrace the lies and hypocrisy in all matters, as they have become sacraments to progressives… really, the atheist progressive has it tough! Trying to push such nihilistic, cold hearted and absurd notions on humanity, to be enforced by an unanswerable autocratic administrative government, staffed by unaccountable professional administrators, is a very hard sell. And to do it without the backup of God… well, that does make it hard to be a progressive. No wonder they are mad all the time.

While the progressive atheist idealist must push absurdity without the backup of God, although they do have the total support of Lucifer, those of us who understand there is more to the universe than what we can see, are ready to bend our will to what pragmatically, is the correct course of action. We also have the added benefit of being able to sleep at night, in the full knowledge that eventually, God will make it right. We can, and indeed must work as the hands of God, but if we falter occasionally, we can rest assured that we serve a greater purpose, as long as we thoughtfully and wisely follow God. There is pragmatism in giving up one’s will to that of the divine as well, it allows us to sleep at night and openly look at the world as it is, and do what is known to help, rather than what we hope will help… this time.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Resolution of the International Capitalist Party (incapp.org) regarding Hong Kong Protests 2019.

Posted on October 9, 2019 by john

Whereas a one party state like that of China has no democratic legitimacy in Hong Kong or elsewhere,

Whereas the Chinese State’s illegitimate power grows out of the end of a gun,

Whereas the Chinese State does not recognize the individual sovereignty of it’s citizens,

Whereas the Chinese State is in material violation of the Sino-British Joint Declaration,

Whereas the Chinese State has instituted despotic laws, ie, arbitrary detention for political crimes, arbitrary deportation to the mainland and subsequent permanent detention,

Whereas the Chinese government operates outside Natural Law, in using violence, intimidation and other despotic means to control the people within it’s sphere of influence, now, therefore, be it

Resolved, that the International Capitalist Party (INCAPP):

1) supports the Hong Kong protesters in as far as they remain peaceful and seek only to establish liberty in Hong Kong;

2) supports all the protesters demands as of October 9, 2019;

3) supports the people of Hong Kong against the oligarchic autocracy of the one party state that is the Chinese government;

4) urges the Chinese government to immediately return to the agreement granting it Hong Kong from the British government, ie, one nation two systems;

5) urges the Chinese government to have a referendum in all it’s captured territories… on staying in China, with universal suffrage, and if those elections show it is the will of the people to leave China, for self rule or to join another State, we further urge they must be allowed;

6) urges the Chinese government to recognize individual sovereignty, Natural Law and cease using violence, intimidation and censorship as political weapons.

7) urges the Chinese government to allow multiparty elections to establish it’s legitimacy.

Implementing such measures, a referendum on staying in China’s sphere of influence, the restoration of the agreement, the restoration of liberty, allowing multi party elections and the return of the protesters to productive life… will give the Chinese government democratic legitimacy, restores the rule of law in Hong Kong, moves the nations of China, Hong Kong as well as Taiwan Tibet and Mongolia, towards a future that insures liberty, prosperity and peace for generations to come.

Our Crimes Against Humanity

Posted on October 7, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me… our culture is engaged in several crimes against humanity. I don’t make this complaint flippantly, I really mean that our culture, and thereby the cultural elite and us, we are manipulating people into self harm, a psychopathic crime against humanity, slaughtering millions in a holocaust that rival’s Mao’s, and setting up a genocide in a way that is unprecedented. During times of mass insanity, such as we are in, it is always the cultural elite that forge the path. They first bring the ideas into the public’s mind, because evil ideas need to be carefully introduced as good, then nurtured into full fledged atrocities, while maintaining a state of insanity in the people. As Solzhenitsyn suggested, in such a system, everyone lies, to themselves, to each other and even to God himself.

I would never presume to stop by violence, someone in their 30’s and on, who after careful self assessment and study on the question, decides to undergo a sex change operation. I may strongly disapprove, but I recognize the autonomy, free will, and agency of other human beings, as I expect reciprocation from other people. Living by both the Golden Rule and leading by example. A child of 7 on the other hand has no idea what sex is… let alone what side of the equation they want to be on! To claim a child can, is to lie to yourself, to others and to God himself. A child that claims to “want” to be transitioned has been manipulated into self harm. At least the Nazis had the decency not to pretend to befriend their victims. Our cultural infatuation with sex change is a crime against humanity.

They used to say Mao slaughtered around 42 million Chinese people in his cultural revolution, great leap forward and artificial famines. Now the number has been revised to 60 million. A number that rivals World War Two’s 62 million. The mind boggles at such numbers. Yet the abortion industry has slaughtered over a billion and a half babies. People that will never ride a bicycle, eat a snow cone, skin a knee, get married, have children of their own, retire and die surrounded by their grandchildren. They have been denied their chance, as have been their children, grandchildren and so on. A billion and a half people, dismembered, born alive to have their organs harvested without anesthetic, and left to die in a cold sink. To call this evil, good, is to lie… Truly a crime against humanity beyond all measure.

In Europe we see genocide willfully and intentionally being set up. With the percentage of “diversity” the globalist elite have created in Europe, genocide of either the Christians/atheists or the Muslims is inevitable. It is the ugly truth of our age, we refuse to look at, instead dwelling on the glittering lie of diversity. Ignoring 1500 years of history is foolhardy at best, diabolical at worse… and I strongly suspect the worse. Even a cursory peek at the crimes in Europe since the “refugees” have settled there shows the beginnings of it. To deny this is to lie to yourself, others and even God. Either way, a crime against humanity will have been made inevitable in a few decades, by our omniscient leaders. Never before has an elite intentionally set up a genocide. How progressive!

All of these crimes against humanity, manipulating children into self harm for the sexual amusement of others, torturing babies to death by the millions, and creating the conditions where genocide becomes inevitable… have been enabled by the cultural, social and administrative elite, pushing the lie that these evils are good. But you and I are not innocent. We know in our hearts these are lies. Yes, the culture punishes truth tellers, but the alternative is to continue being complicit in crimes against humanity. The magnitude of which far surpasses any that have been committed before, by the most heinous actors in human history, putting you and I on par with them! Because we lied to ourselves, others and even to God himself? Is that the company you want to be in when you meet God on Judgment Day?

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Deep State Lives!

Posted on October 3, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, with every news story, convenient suicide, political scandal and push for impeachment, it becomes ever more difficult to pretend the Deep State doesn’t exist, and is not at war with our Constitution. With each propaganda piece, complete with subliminal messaging, our trust in the media is ever more Pollianish. Every convenient self strangulation, like Jeffery Epstein’s after being taken off suicide watch, in maximum security, the cameras outside his cell disabled and his cell mate moved, and so far, not a single charge against any politician named in his black book of pedophiles, is evidence the Deep State exists and can get you… anywhere. Believing there is not a Deep State, and it is not at war with our Constitution is a glittering lie we tell ourselves and others, because the truth is so ugly.

How do we know when a liar is lying? Their actions don’t match their words. Examples of this abound in our elite. They claim we have to submit to slavery, else the sea will rise and drowned us all… yet they buy multi million dollar mansions on Nantucket at sea level and buy estates on the Maldives. That in and of itself is proof of a lie is it not? Behind fortified and guarded walls they tell us walls are immoral. We are told socialism is the system we should aspire to, yet people in every socialist country are willing to risk their wives and daughters being raped, and their sons being murdered… to get away from socialism and to capitalism. We know someone is lying when they say one thing and do another. When a person does it, they are a bad person, when society does it, that is a diabolical society.

Even a cursory glance at our elite shows clearly and unambiguously… they do not do what they demand we do. We see carve outs across the board, where government doesn’t hold itself to the same standard they hold us to. Hypocrites. Which leads us to the maxim… Any law that does not apply to every human being under that political entity, is not a tool for justice, but a way to oppress people. If you did that at work, have rules that applied only to certain people, sexual harassment for example… would it lead to a fair, cohesive and productive workplace? We all know injustice when we see it, and we see it in every corner of our governments, yet we are required to lie to ourselves and society about it. Else we are slandered with labels like racist, conspiracy nut and Nazi. To silence rather communicate.

Let’s browse some recent scandals shall we? Fast and Furious is a scandal that has yet to be investigated… because the President was above the law. How do we know this? Because not one scandal that happened under his administration has been investigated by the State… only by non state actors like judicial Watch. Had Judicial Watch not uncovered so much information, we would know nothing about Hillary’s email server, the bot in it that forwarded every email including top secret emails to an anonymous Gmail server, putting malware on reporter’s computers, abuse of power by exploiting the IRS as a tool to suppress political speech, the spying on then candidate Trump, and colluding with foreign nations and their security apparatus to start a fraud investigation to discredit Trump.

This President has faced unprecedented slews of false allegations even leading to a special prosecutor. Never before, (but I suspect outsiders in the future will face this precedent) has a President been so hobbled by the bureaucracy, with leaks, spying, hoaxes, propaganda and outright fraud to get him out of office… before he even took office!!!! That is, on the face of it, evidence of out of control corruption in the bureaucracy. The open corruption by the Deep State shows, it is either bold enough to wrest total control from our Constitution, else they are afraid of Trump. No matter, their actions have exposed them for who they are and what their goal is. The Deep State has shown us it exists and is far more malicious than we ever thought possible… in our naivete. In that, we can thank them.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

A Failure To Communicate

Posted on September 29, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, whenever someone says anything, it is possible to take it many ways… and most of us choose the wrong way. This can be comical, as when Bevis and Butthead get worked up when someone says entertain us, or when Jed Clampett was told he was a millionaire, and didn’t know how to take it. Most often we see this when someone says something innocuous and it is taken as a great insult. Usually as a way to start a fight instead of communicate. Which brings us to another way we mishear each other, by assuming rather than clearing up. It becomes diabolical when this is exploited, as when someone intentionally takes another out of context, or changes the context of another’s words. This is done to defraud, manipulate or exploit someone… and not the person taken out of context.

Language itself is a sub optimal means of communication. There was an ancient Chinese philosopher, Kung Sung Lung, who made the argument that a white horse is not a horse, but a black or yellow one is. Using the hierarchy of attributes he proved, linguistically, that a white horse is not a horse, thus proving that language is an insufficient way to communicate. The hierarchy of attributes is a ladder that every definition is built upon. You are a thing, then an animal thing, then a human animal thing, this is a hierarchy of attributes. Much further down you may have long hair or short hair, but we cannot define your humanity away by your hairstyle, that would be absurd, it is much lower down on the hierarchy of attributes. So, mix up the hierarchy, as in a white horse, and communication is compromised.

When we intentionally mishear another we are intentionally not communicating. Many times we do this because we don’t want to address the issue raised, we change the subject and get mad at something else, so we don’t have to. This gives the person changing the subject a lever on the other, the apparent anger, with which to redirect the conversation to attack rather than communicate. Politics is one arena where this is done. It is also the narcissist’s favorite tool in their toolkit of misdirection, perpetual anger and denigration. No matter who does it or why it is done, intentionally hearing something other than what we all know the speaker is saying, is a form of fraud. It is a lie some tell to get the upper hand in a battle… when communication is what is called for.

Often we mishear another, then rant on about it making an enemy, when we would have been better served to have made a friend. This happens because we understand the world in the context of our own narration. When we hear something that appears to fit in a certain box, we put it there, without burning a calorie thinking about what the speaker really meant. It is very efficient but not the ideal. It leads to people talking past each other, generates emotion where it is not appropriate, blinds us to whole lines of logic that touch our third rail, and channelizes our thinking in a way that closes possibilities to us. The way to keep from this is when we feel that emotional demon rising, ask why we are reacting that way, and what did the person really mean. Nine times out of ten they didn’t mean what you heard.

Every good thing in your life was made possible by other people. That is manifested by our ability to communicate. Thus, if we want more goods in our lives, it is common sense to foster true communication whenever we can. In our personal relations, in our public interactions and use our critical thinking when listening to speakers and debates. Watch for speakers mixing up the hierarchy of attributes, emotion where it is not appropriate, and especially intentional mishearing. We like to think we don’t really matter, many of us don’t even vote, but you do really matter, your voice is powerful… it calls reality into being. Your interactions mold that reality into good or bad. So, try hard to actually communicate when talking, and bring good into the world.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Political Impeachment

Posted on September 28, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the pending impeachment hearing of Donald Trump, will show the direction of our nation for the future. Shall we make a clean break from all Constitutionality, decorum and justice, making the final leap to utopia? On the other hand, our rulers may not impeach him, and we could remain connected to our Constitution, decorum and justice, at least superficially. Nevertheless, this is a major test for the US experiment. Nations, States and empires are born grow old and die, it is the natural course of human government. They start fresh and free of corruption, but as the elite move from first principles to self serving principles, the state becomes ever more corrupt, until it collapses. They never crumble in a single day though… it only appears that way, indeed the fall is a long time brewing.

When States collapse in a day people assume that if they had dodged that cataclysm that state would continue functioning fine. This is not the case. The disaster might have been a triggering agent, but if the State was functioning, other than the total destruction of their people, as in Pompeii and Herculaneum… the people, society and state would emerge, tattered, but existent. Look at the historic calamities that people have endured, and hung together, then look at the times a disaster led to collapse. In all cases you will see the misfortune that appeared to have “caused” it, was just the straw that broke the camel’s back. The State, elite, society and people, were weakened by a long trek from first principles to self serving principles. In all cases… it is the leaders that lead the way.

Ancient Athens was felled by Perseus and Alcibiades. Perseus by abusing the law to political ends and Alcibiades by convincing Athens to get into foreign adventures. Once the Roman people had become used to bread and circuses it faced utter destruction. Had it not been for the pope, who walked out alone and talked Attila the Hun out of sacking Rome… it would have ended there. But the reality is that Rome had ended long before that. Just as the collapse of the Soviet Empire looked sudden, it was the result of a failed economic system, riveted to an autocratic despotic government, to force the square peg of socialism into the round hole of a national economy. After millions of deaths by famine, gulag and state terrorism, that evil empire crashed in a day, but that collapse too was a long time coming.

The great Mayan Empire dissipated in a blip in time. Not because of climate change or anything so mundane, they had been poisoning their own water for decades, with the dead bodies of those sacrificed to their gods. The Aztec Empire was not obliterated by 35 conquistadors. It was decades of slaughtering their neighbors in orgies of human sacrifice, that raised an army, the poor sanitary conditions that led to a small pox epidemic, and the rigidity of thought that comes when rulers don’t face criticism. When Carthage was burned to the ground and it’s fields salted, it wasn’t because Rome had a better army, it was because Carthage had slaughtered so many of their own babies in sacrifices to Moloch… they couldn’t field an effective army! They all rotted from within.

When a state is born in virtue, in it’s early years it is prosperous, free, peaceful and the government limited. Over time, the elite will become corrupt, then we will follow, and be convinced water no longer wets. Once a nation has become corrupt… that society has begun the journey to the underworld. Corrupt leaders become corrupt rulers growing the power of the State. As government becomes more powerful, making and breaking people, it is self interested to seek a greater role in it. As more people vie more forcefully for power, in a government that is growing ever more powerful, decorum must eventually give way to open political violence, and abusing authority to political ends, ala… hoax investigations, weaponizing the bureaucracy or political impeachment to cover up a crime.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

International Corporations and Tariffs

Posted on September 26, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, now that we are in the age of international corporations, capable of moving manufacturing anywhere, we will see many more tariffs. Each nation charging punitive tariffs to force international firms to move to their country, (at least the manufacturing that serves their people). This has worked in India, China and others. If however, most firms were smaller and national rather than international, as in the past… this strategy would, and has, backfired. Because local firms are denied the best means of production available. This puts local businesses at a disadvantage. Putting a strong disincentive on tariffs. However, international corporations have changed the paradigm, and bring their manufacturing with them, and so tariffs are apparently effective… for large enough nations.

Under the paradigm of international corporations, tariffs drive these conglomerates to manufacture in the local economy, for local consumption. While initially, this is a good thing for the local economy, in the long run it is very harmful. In the short term it brings in higher paying manufacturing jobs, trains locals to work in a structured setting, necessitates the installation of infrastructure to support the factories, and transfers know how to locals. All wonderful things especially where they are lacking. In the longer term however, it crushes the entrepreneurial ethos of the locals. It gives them the tools, but instills a hopeless attitude when competing with the machine… and indeed there is no winning against an international corporate machine wielding political favor, even a zombie corporation.

As little as a few decades ago, tariffs were counterproductive, because rather than drive international corporations to move there, they instead hindered locals from getting the best, newest and most productive devices from around the world. Which puts local entrepreneurs at a disadvantage relative to the rest of the world. Brazil is an example of this. In the 1980s, they put import restrictions on computers, hoping to make Brazil a center of innovation and manufacturing of information technology. It backfired and put every Brazilian company at a huge disadvantage to the world. The result was a vastly slowed Brazilian GDP. Back then, companies in that field were owned and run by entrepreneurs, not international corporations… and so tariffs were counterproductive.

The sea change has been the transfer of tech firms from the entrepreneurs who started them to the hands of Wall Street. As corporations become ever more international, they can move their fabrication facilities at will, bypassing the normal costs associated with moving large plants from one nation to another, and the less they need to be beholding to any nation. Moreover, nations will compete for their plants, which will make nations beholding to corporations. While progressives cheer the demise of the bourgeoisie, the rise of the professional executive class has only exacerbated the very problems they sought to fix, by eliminating the bourgeoisie. Let’s not forget, global corporations disrupt the creative destruction cycles, in otherwise functional economies. The true source of national prosperity.

That is why, despite the long term costs to the nation, the short term gains will drive many to listen to the siren call of tariffs. In the era of international corporations, trade impinging regulations can drive some jobs to one’s home nation, but as I have shown, it is a dead end. Because they will have shut down the natural creative destruction cycle in their economies. With the thicket of regulations the corporations help write, an entrepreneur doesn’t stand a chance, and it becomes impossible to go back. A better way to create prosperity, is to open trade and lower regulations and taxes, so entrepreneurs have access to the world and can eat zombie corporations’ assets… rather than government tying down entrepreneurs, so that zombie corporations can eat their brains.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Wisdom of Fables

Posted on September 23, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me… we all would be wise to read a few children’s fables. The Boy Who Cried Wolf for example. For those who were not taught that ancient wisdom, the boy who cried wolf is a story about a boy, who seeks attention by lying. In doing so, he discredits himself, and so when there is real trouble, no one comes to his aid, and he dies as a result. Progressives do nothing but cry wolf. They attack Trump as being a stooge of Russia, even when the hoax is proven false, they keep up with it. They have tried to destroy Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh with false allegations, Justice Clarence Thomas was also attacked with a false allegation. Anyone who doesn’t agree with them is a racist. All are cries of wolf! Eventually they will have utterly discredited themselves.

In the fable of Pandora’s Box, Pandora is a naive child… who is told not to open a box. When she comes close however, beautiful voices in the box call her to open it. She opens it, and it is filled with stinging insects, biting bats, etc… The moral is not to open boxes, (or doors) that could lead to pain and suffering, no matter how beguiling the voices behind them might be. Progressives care nothing for the stings and bites though, the voices are so hypnotizing to them, others feel the stings anyway. Progressives, by temperament and nature, like to explore the unexplored, open unopened cartons and think out of the box. It is a necessary trait for human advancement… but untempered, puts our survival in jeopardy. That is why progressive monopoly on power is so dangerous.

The Horse that Lost it’s Liberty should be a cautionary tale for people as well. A horse and a stag argue over who owns a pasture. They fight and fight, each seeking the whole of it, neither willing to give an inch. Finally the horse gets the idea to bring a hunter in on his side. The man bridles and saddles the horse to drive off the stag, yet once the stag is driven off, the man refuses to free the horse. So, while gaining the pasture… the horse has lost his liberty. Many will yoke themselves to government, for any temporal want, without a thought. They are basically calling in the “hunter” (government) to side with them, and willingly accept a bridle to get it, and in doing so enslave all of us. That is why turning to government in anything and everything is so insidious… for both left and right.

Constitutionalists on the other hand… should learn the lesson of the Tortoise and the Hare. In that fable a Tortoise gets in a race with a hare. The hare considers the race a joke and treats it as such. When the gun goes off the hare races far ahead. Seeing the tortoise so far behind, the race is all but won, the hare takes a nap. Meanwhile the tortoise keeps on, slow but sure, gaining, until when the hare wakes up, the tortoise has won the race. Conservatives thought that since the quintessential lesson of the twentieth century, was the disastrous failure of socialism, they were way ahead in philosophy. Progressives followed the tortoise’s strategy, taking over education, the media, the bureaucracy and the judiciary. Now that constitutionalists have awoke… they find Progressives have all but won the race.

There is deep wisdom in ancient fables. They haven’t survived because they had no competition, they have survived since before the written word, because they embody truths that don’t lend themselves to explanation, other than by narration. Crying wolf will work for awhile, but eventually people will become wise to it. Opening Pandora’s boxes maybe exciting, but opening too many too fast, is certain disaster. Loosing one’s liberty for an ethereal gain, as in the Horse That Lost It’s Liberty, is the height of foolishness, but the stubborn will make that trade all day, every day. Moreover, sleeping on the job because of over confidence, will cause one to lose every race, ala the Tortoise and the Hare. Those who refuse to learn from our fables, are doomed to learn those lessons anyway… the hard way.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Some Are More Equal

Posted on September 19, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, when government refuses to prosecute it’s own, but is zealous about prosecuting anything they can dredge up from an outsider’s past, law has become a tool of oppression. When some are not subject to the law, especially laws they enforce on the rest of us, they have become a political over class. Like the Pigs in Orwell’s Animal Farm. They are more equal than the rest of us. Which is to say… we are less equal than them. There is a term for people who are less equal… slaves. Some would take umbrage at the term but I would point out that there are degrees of slavery. Nietzsche recognized the slave mindset of Europeans, and we see that mindset operating in the jailing of the outsider Tommy Robinson, in a super max prison, for reporting politically inconvenient truths.

Arbitrary rule is the crime under which one was Ostracized in Ancient Athens. When Athens faced an existential crisis, Solon was elected to solve it… and make sure it never happened again. He did, with both wisdom and fairness. After solving the pressing exigency, Solon set himself to solving the greater issue… that of keeping the problem from happening again. So he created the Ostracism. If anyone became too powerful, or they favored “Arbitrary rule,” the people would vote on Ostracii, pieces of broken pottery, either to ostracize or not. The person ostracized would be banished for ten years, their property, wives, etc… kept safely for their return. Solon immediately called for himself to be ostracized. He had become a threat to polity and Solon would not enforce a law on others he was not bound by.

The rule of law requires all be treated equally… else it is not law but a means to oppress. That is a self evident fact. If those who apply law, do so with an eye to something other than justice, law does not serve justice, but whatever is in the eye of those who wield it. Those who apply law are universally in government, thus they exist within the political realm… and so politics is usually the apple of their eye. That is why the Special Prosecutor law was enacted. So an Executive could not control an investigation into his own wrongdoing. Clearly, that would be a conflict of interest, and if he found himself innocent, there would always be doubts. If on the other hand, a prosecutor controlled by the opposition faction finds him guilty, there will always be questions if the whole thing was political.

The reason the US founding Fathers didn’t want government fishing for crimes, rather than responding to them, is that people without political favor will become a favorite fishing hole, while those with political favor will be posted. The inevitable result of allowing angling for politically motivated prosecution is tyranny. Moreover, exploiting one’s authority over the law as a means for political advancement, is open oppression. Since the US Founders were leery of all forms of tyranny, they made it clear in our Constitution that the Law is a means for Justice… nothing else. That it has become something else, is clear evidence we have ceased being a Constitutional Republic, and have entered a post Constitutional Phase… As Rome did when Caesar crossed the Rubicon.

Recent history shows that the US government engages in fishing expeditions against outsiders, holds insiders to no standard whatsoever, and exploits law as a tool of oppression. If you or I destroyed subpoenaed evidence, we would, by default, be prosecuted for destroying evidence. Hillary Clinton was not… regardless of any other crimes she is clearly implicated in. James Comey has prosecuted people for mishandling classified information, yet he knowingly leaked classified information, to start a hoax investigation, bottom trawling for anything to destroy an outsider. Yet, prosecuting that hypocrite would be “vindictive,” according to the Attorney General’s Office. Proving the US has a political over class, who are above the law, and wield law as a political weapon… How progressive.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Psychotic Nature of Government

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, government itself is an exercise in psychopathy. Take foreign affairs for example. Spying, sabotage, exploiting dirt bags, brain washing, drug running, gun running, bombing civilians, destabilizing economies, the whole gambit is psychopathic. Look at anything government does, and apply the same standard to those actions, as you would an individual. In almost every case, by that standard… government is psychotic. Even as it fails at everything it puts it’s hands to, it demands ever more resources and power… to fail ever more spectacularly. Imagine a person who, when given a small task failed, when given a larger task failed worse. Finally, their failure resulting in many deaths… like every socialist experiment. Only a psychopath would not be ashamed of such results.

While spying and espionage looks exciting it is pure psychopathy. Imagine a person who abducted children in the neighborhood, plied people with child prostitutes to get dirt on their families, manipulated the finances of their neighbors, lied when the truth would serve them better, stole anything they get their hands on, killed children who cross onto their yards, etc…? Wouldn’t you agree that person is psychotic? Yet governments do those things all the time. If the CIA has a traitor, who has valuable information and wants a child prostitute, his CIA handler is required to get him one!!!!! Even when the child is to be murdered!!!!! Your government does that evil in YOUR NAME!!!! Making you and I complicit in child rape and murder!!! Could there be anything more psychopathic than that????

Everything about war is psychopathic. Sometimes war is waged for purely defensive purposes, and in that case it is justified, as an individual is justified in killing a home invader. The home invader on the other hand is committing a crime. Take the example of Taiwan. China has been proclaiming that sooner or later, it will invade Taiwan, despite the people of Taiwan’s wishes. That is like your neighbor telling you and the city government, he will invade your house some night, probably killing you… and no one in the city, (international community) will sell you a gun, as they let the psychopath stock up on guns and ammo!! Poland didn’t want war with Germany in 1939, but the Nazis wanted war with Poland… and so there was war. Germany invaded Poland… How psychopathic was that?

I grew up on television shows like Hogan’s Heros, McCale’s Navy and Mission Impossible. They glamorized the psychopathy of international spying, espionage and war. I recently have been watching Hogan’s Heros and am shocked by the pure evil of the whole thing. Hogan is a classic psychopath… working for good of course, but he is a psychopath nonetheless. Everyone in the SS is depicted as a psychopath (which is probably not far from the truth), and British HQ is portrayed as tea sipping elites, living in luxury, surrounded by beautiful girls. No wonder so many young men are willing to kill for God and Country. We are programmed every day, by the culture, media, entertainment and education, to ignore open psychopathy by our governments, and even embrace it. What psycho would do that?

Government, through the media and culture program our boys to idolize psychopathy, as the highest and best good. It takes people who would otherwise be productive fathers and mothers, contributing their labors, innovations and families to the betterment of the human condition… and twists them into doing psychopathic things, to people who they otherwise would have Friday night barbecues with. Entertainment has little evolved since the time Rome had people fight lions in the coliseum. It was psychopathic then, it is psychopathic today. If we want to break the chain of psychopathic government, we must lead by example… refuse to act psychotically, do not lie for psychopaths and point out psychopathy when you see it. Because light expunges dark.

Sincerely,

John Pepin
