History is Rhyming…

Posted on July 18, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me… the history of the twentieth century is a tragedy of political ineptitude. The loss of human life in that century was astonishing, not in simply the mind bending numbers of people slaughtered industrially, but in the ineptitude of the political elite that caused it. Starting at the end of the Eighteenth century, and continuing to this day, every decision by the political elite has been a tragic mistake. Each fumble leading to another war, suffering, famine, further erosion of fundamental Rights and another blunder. Until today… with the NSA reading our mail, listening to our phones, and even in our homes via Siri… behind a curtain of “national security,” “justified” by terrorism created by the elite’s foolishness or conniving, and world war is on the horizon. History does indeed rhyme.

The crime against humanity, Eugenics, was introduced by progressives. While Prohibition gave rise to the Al Capones. The violence they used to secure territories was exploited, to promote the premise the Second Amendment does not really mean what it says, “shall not be infringed,” but can be infringed as the elite see fit. That sea change in perception, of the scope and role of government, cleared the ground for other political innovations in the US. Government controlling the means of production became imaginable, and Roosevelt set himself to managing the US economy, rationally. Which of course exacerbated and lengthened the Depression. The Depression and the mishandling of the Treaty of Versailles, led directly to WWII, the Holocaust, and opened the lid on Marxism.

World War II showed just how evil man can be. Forcing Jews and Gypsies to dig their own graves, then machine gunning them, takes a heartlessness that boggles the mind. That is the tip of the iceberg of sins committed against innocents during that war. People wanted to live in peace but our politicians had other plans. North Korea invaded South Korea, triggering the International Korean War. China’s Mao pushed Chang Kai-Shek off the mainland bottling him up in Taiwan. Allowing Mao to consolidate power, and implement disastrous economic policies and a Cultural Revolution… leading to the deaths of around 30,000,000 people. As Taiwan became rich and free. Another Marxist, Pol Pot, marched the entire population of Phnom Penh into the rice fields… and slaughtered them.

Marxism in the Soviet Union created a famine in the Ukraine, a conquered territory of the Soviet Union at the time. That famine killed around 6,000,000 people, starved to death. A famine that exterminated an entire class of people, the Kulaks. The Soviet Union then became like a cancer on the planet, metastasizing Marxist uprisings around the world. Marx’s revolution had begun. Millions died in the revolutions, famines and gulags. Communism was fully elevated to a religion… where it still stands among many intellectuals today. There were around 100,000,000 in all, murdered by communists in the Twentieth Century, to create utopia. The collapse of communism in the 1990’s created a peace that was intolerant to the elite. Leading to where we are today.

Every war, famine, hyperinflation, etc… is the fault of the political elite. Each failure leading to more power for them. In The 21st Century, the elite are showing just as much acumen as they did in the 20th. They have bumbled into a war with Islam… even as they claim they have not, and you have to believe them, not your eyes, else be labeled a racist conspiracy nut. Meanwhile the elite smash Islamic states like Libya, creating traumatized people, then send those destitute, traumatized people flooding into Europe and the US. Setting up a clash of cultures, almost like they want another existential war in Europe. Because of the elite’s ineptitude, or evil, so far it looks like the 21st century will rhyme with the 20th. Isn’t it odd how the elite claim to be so utterly inept yet demand so much power to control?

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Progressive Leviathan.

Posted on July 15, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the new class progressive faction has many arms, or more accurately, tentacles. The culture is how the gullible are kept under strict thought control, the education system captures young minds and washes them in anti-christian, anti-western and anti-American half truths, the media that calls itself unbiased is where the casually informed’s minds are propagandized, the corporations are where our wealth is transferred to the progressive new class, the bureaucracy is where progressive anti-constitutional regulations are enacted outside the Constitutional process, the Judiciary undermines our Constitution at every turn, and our social media firms enforce thought laws, through censorship, intimidation, political correctness, shadow banning, and manipulating search results.

The education system indoctrinates kids with new class progressive ideals… overwriting those of parents. The Common Core curriculum has done wonders in producing graduates… unable to engage in the market system, illiterate, too childish to live on their own, hedonistic, atheistic, and favoring socialism because they are historically ignorant. The government monopoly education system, funded by our tax dollars, inculcates atheism, socialism, amorality and skepticism without perspective, all the basic progressive morals. Is it a coincidence that as the power of the progressive faction, as wielded through the National Teachers Union, (NEA), and the bureaucracy grew, so did the rise in school shootings, the abortion rate, and literacy fell… heck, kids cannot even read cursive anymore!!!!

The media that calls itself unbiased is the propaganda arm of the new class progressive faction. Telling half truths is a way of life for a psychopath… who is constantly manipulating others. That is the stock and trade of the media today, telling half truths, passing innuendo as fact, opinion as reporting, while being guided by new class progressive “values.” Can anyone today say, honestly, that CNN is unbiased? Let alone CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS, NPR, etc…? They have given up all fairness, even as they maintain the lie, they are a reliable and unbiased news source! Which is of course only a means to give their propaganda more effect. CNN, the “unbiased news” organization that created an enraged mob and pointed that mob at a pimply faced teenager… engaged in stochastic terrorism, over a hat!

The Judiciary is the means by which the progressive faction has made the most progress in disconnecting our legal system from our Constitution. In a series of ever more absurd rulings, our Supreme court has become the rubber stamp of the progressive faction. This is highlighted by the fact that so many judges, who are appointed as originalists, have immediately become progressives. John Roberts is the obvious modern example. Either he lied under oath, about believing in the founding principles of the US, else the progressives have a long lever on him. No progressive ever becomes a constitutionalist though. This shows that no matter how many so called originalists are put on the bench, enough will “turn” into progressives, to undermine any attempt to return to Constitutional rule.

Social networking sites limit debate. They censor us outside government. Social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram, etc… function as the thought police of the new class progressive faction. Indeed Alphabet itself has not only been caught manipulating search results, to effectively swing an election, but has vowed to keep Trump out at all costs. One wonders if the cost will be their credibility? The new class progressive faction is a powerful force. Their tentacles are everywhere. The media, culture, bureaucracy, judiciary, etc… are all powerful arms of the progressive faction. Arms that work to “progress” us away from the Enlightenment, Christianity and discourse. Making it imperative we expose to light… the progressive’s extremely photosensitive tentacles.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Our Pedophile Elite.

Posted on July 11, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, where there is smoke there is probably fire, and Washington DC is covered in a thick haze of pedophilia smoke. The arrest of Jeffery Epstein is the latest in a long history of pedophilia by the rich, connected and powerful. Epstein is a billionaire, with close ties to many politicians, both democrat and republican, and is reported to have been an asset. The Clintons are said to have ridden on Epstein’s private plane to his island, despite the Clinton’s official denial. Trump, a former friend of Epstein, is said to have barred Epstein for life from Mar A Largo, and socially ostracized him because Epstein had hit on an underage girl at Mar A Largo. The judicial branch, an arm of the progressive faction, has gone into overtime hiding who was involved. Creating a choking black smoke…

It is not uncommon to have pedophiles in powerful positions. The examples are numerous, Iceland’s government was shattered by a pedophile scandal, there is a long history of a secret pedophile ring operating in the highest reaches of the British government, Hollywood is also known to have a dark pedophile underbelly. Power attracts psychopaths, because psychopaths like power, especially unlimited power to abuse. What makes abusing children so attractive to psychopaths is they are so vulnerable and cannot retaliate. Unanswerable power is the greatest joy to a psychopath. So it is no wonder that powerful people, not only men, are psychopaths who enjoy abusing the most vulnerable, because it gives their twisted minds a lift. Serving Lucifer has it’s perks for the evil elite.

Despite the Pizzagate theory being deemed debunked, one cannot debunk a theory without investigating it. Galileo’s theories were labeled debunked by the Catholic church during his time… without actually making an argument either. In both cases, we are told to accept appeal to authority, rather than engage in informed, logical, cold debate. We are told that the authorities say Pizzagate is not a thing, and we are required to believe it. Just as we were told there was no such thing as MK Ultra, and only conspiracy theorists believed in it. MK Ultra was code for an evil extra constitutional mind control experiment, on unsuspecting citizens, by our own government! Injecting soldiers with plutonium was another experiment the US government did… Not at all psychopathic.

The slews of strange murders and suicides, surrounding the powerful whenever pedophilia is brought up, is a haze thicker than LA during the Camp fire. In Sweden, A J Avicii was found dead after exposing an elite pedophile ring, in Hollywood, Natacha Jaitt was found dead after publishing a book exposing an elite pedophile ring, Brian Clafin supposedly committed suicide by train, Liz Mackean was found dead after exposing a pedophile ring in Britain, In South Africa, Mark Minni‘s body was found after exposing a pedophile ring in the apartheid government. There are even rumors that Hugh Hefner was going to be arrested for pedophilia, but was murdered, to prevent him from revealing the names of other powerful pedophiles in Hollywood. These are just the people that are commonly known!!

I am not saying there is a pedophilia problem with the elite in our government(s), what I am saying, is that one cannot breathe because of the choking smoke of pedophilia that surrounds those governments. Simply the fact the DNC is adamant in protecting human traffickers is suspicious. I cannot fathom any political expedient in spending political capital for child sex traffickers… unless the elite are the consumers of the child sex market. Moreover, the sweetheart deals for powerful pedophiles is astounding. The sheer number of suspicious deaths, rings that have been exposed but not prosecuted, the demand we return to appeal to authority, the obvious national security risks, as well as the history of powerful people engaging in pedophilia… We probably should attend to the source of that smoke.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

ANTIFA the Democrat Party’s Stermabteilung

Posted on July 8, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, ANTIFA could not get away with so much overt violence, if the new class progressive faction, of which ANTIFA is an arm, didn’t control our media, culture, bureaucracy, judiciary, education, legal system, corporations and banks. Since all these institutions are under the control of the progressive faction, they act to suppress the natural outrage, that would typically effect normal people seeing such violence. Like the Brown Shirts, ANTIFA enforces progressive thought control on the populace by force, as the culture does by propaganda, the banks do by fraud and monetary coercion, the legal system and judiciary do by arbitrarily enforcing laws, the bureaucracy does by regulation… as our children are programmed to be good little socialists by the education system.

ANTIFA is not at all ashamed of their violence, in fact they revel in it. The violence they bring to the political table is very effective, at silencing all but the most vocal, and once the vocal are pummeled bloody and charged with disturbing the peace, they too are silenced. In politics, if one’s message cannot get out, it effectively doesn’t exist, regardless of that message’s value, truthfulness or authenticity. A really successful political program then, must include silencing political opponents, as well as pushing one’s own message. Factions that oppose progressives have as a core belief… free speech, which puts them at a strong disadvantage to the progressive faction, that is not only willing to corrupt government and coerce lies through political correctness, but force thought and speech compliance by violence.

Organized and in your face, the violence ANTIFA and the progressive faction inflicts, normally, would repulse the populace at large. In the case of ANTIFA however, since it is an arm of the new class progressive movement, their violence is covered up, apologized for and excused, by the media that calls itself unbiased. There are countless examples of actual violence and domestic terrorism by progressives, each time the crime is initially blamed on conservatives, then once progressives are found to be the culprits, the media goes silent. This gives ANTIFA’s violence an even more malevolent feel to it. The victims know there will be no justice for their attackers. Being above the law, and even criticism, gives the ANTIFA thugs an heir of invincibility, like the Brown Shirts had in the 1930’s.

The new class globalist progressive faction is on the march. They have seized control of almost all of our institutions, corporations, education systems and governments. All that stands in their way, in the US, is democracy and our Constitution. Democracy is being destroyed by immigrating people who, while legally not allowed to vote, will, and thus throw any election to the democrats. As Marx said, “If the people will not embrace the revolution, replace the people.” Our Constitution is being hollowed out by judicial activism and the unconstitutional bureaucracy. Not that ANTIFA’s role is insignificant. Violence and fear silences criticism and discourse, undermines democracy and the people’s very will to resist, that is ANTIFA’S role… in the progress to global governance and a rational economy.

What infuriates the new class progressives though, is that the golden ring was in their hand… and it was snatched away by democracy. Despite the vote fraud, political violence, political correctness, monopoly control of the media that calls itself unbiased, corrupting the FBI, DOJ, IRS and State Departments, spending billions of dollars in propaganda and even colluding with foreign governments, the people had the audacity, the presumption, to deny the progressives absolute power. No wonder basement dwelling NPCs across the nation were sparked to violence. Why not trigger? You are called a hero by others in the movement and you can vent, by beating someone with a stick… with impunity. ANTIFA, the violent arm of the progressive faction. The Democrat’s storm troopers. How progressive!!!

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Building Utopia From the Ashes of the West.

Posted on July 4, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me… the West is throwing out the baby with the bathwater. No one argues that Western culture is perfect, only that it is the best we have come up with yet. Some however only see flaws. Flaws predating the West, and indeed are only sins based on Christian morals, so they want to abolish Christian values, to be replaced with anti-Christian ones. Meanwhile, conservatives, republicans, libertarians and constitutionalists, recognize the Enlightenment was not the end of human philosophical advancement, but that some very important strides were made, retreating from those advancements, opens humanity to evils that were eradicated by the Enlightenment. Sadly, some see those Enlightenment and Christian values as an impediment to building utopia… from the ashes of the West.

The West is not the acme of all possible human philosophy, simply the epitome of human philosophy to date. Only under the Christian value system and the Greek idea of rational discourse and inquiry, that led to the Enlightenment, has humanity advanced so much in economics, science and human heartedness. Human heartedness in both the Confucian and classic sense of the idea. Only under a Christian human hearted value system… has empathy become a primary duty, the theory of the cyclical nature of the universe rejected, slavery shunned, equal justice elevated, debate as the arbiter of truth and individualism embraced. Returning to the rights of kings, appeal to authority and adopting social justice rather than equal justice, will lead to a return to the very evils progressives claim they hate.

Innovation is a good thing, when it is built upon the advances of the past, but when the advances of the past are rejected, and innovation is for it’s own sake, such innovation inevitably leads to disaster. If a builder rejected levels, chalk lines, floor loading schedules, squares and measures, it cannot be argued, the quality of his construction would be an improvement over those who used such instruments of precision. This is because, tools allow the amateur to do reasonable quality work, while even the most expert cannot do without them. Yet that is exactly what is being done, as we reject all the advancements of the Enlightenment, for some utopian pipe dream. We are burning the levels, squares, building codes, tape measures and trusting someone’s gut feelings… to build the future.

The problem with Enlightenment and Christian values, for progressives, is that those, “patriarchal, hegemonic and bigoted” values, place the ultimate power in the individual, while progressive ideas require social power, to coerce the individual. The wants and needs of the individual be damned. The two ideas for mankind are fundamentally at odds. Equal justice is the opposite of social justice, the socialist is the opposite of the individualist, appeal to authority is the opposite of truth by discourse, and to implement their ideas progressives must eschew the Golden Rule. This is why progressives reject the Christian and Enlightenment value system, theirs is both an heir and is antithetical to their own value structure, and is in opposition to their ideas for the future of humanity.

Building Utopia from the ashes of Eden. The Utopian value system is a descendant of Western values, a perversion of them to be sure, but an heir nonetheless. Progressives gin up outrage at sins of the West, based on the Christian idea of Right and Wrong, then exploit that outrage to justify throwing out all western philosophy! They seek to build for us a new system, one that rejects the levels, physics and material science, developed under Christianity and the Enlightenment. The irony is thick as pea soup… based on Christian values, we are destroying Christianity and indeed Western civilization itself. Returning us to the rights of kings, the power of “Great Men,” appeal to authority and subjective power, as the West shrivels and dies. Throwing the baby out with the bath water… how progressive.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Delayed Gratification

Posted on June 30, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, there is a pernicious and diabolical attack on delayed gratification today, and we are just starting to see the negative consequences of it. Mature people understand the advantages of delayed gratification. The old fable about the ant and the grasshopper shows how deeply ingrained the idea is in our psyche. The story tells the tale of an ant that lays up food for the winter and a grasshopper who lives the life of Riley. When winter comes the grasshopper dies and the ant lives. The moral is to delay gratification else you will be subject to the whims of fortune. Perhaps even losing your life in the process. Yet there is an attack on delayed gratification today. To what end would a faction want people to be dependent and subject to disaster? One intent on autocracy…

Whenever a person on a pension is denigrated as getting money for free, that is an underhanded attack on delayed gratification. It denies the validity of putting money aside for later. This is because, to get a pension, a person foregoes immediate money for his or her labor, for the promise of a pension later, in other words, delaying gratification. The same goes for attacking people using company provided medical insurance. Those who have medical insurance have exchanged a larger paycheck for that insurance, and if they are denied that insurance, or begrudged it, the company is being let off it’s moral duty and contractual obligation. These skillful tactics to undermine the justice of delaying gratification, can only lead to people who live for the moment, and as a result are unable to meet inevitable upsets.

Whenever an IRA or savings is taxed, that is a pernicious incentive against delaying gratification. The wealthy have teams of experts, to make sure they don’t pay taxes on their investments, so the small investor ends up paying the lion’s share. Which of course has the added benefit of holding the little guy down. Nevertheless, the reality is, when the return of an investment is negative, or requires so much footwork it is no longer an asset but a liability, self interested people will no longer invest. Retirement accounts will not be established or funded, pensions will no longer be a factor in the markets and everyone will become a ward of the State… the moment we are unable to earn a living. Once that happens the roof will be forced to support the foundation.

Whenever capital gains or interest is attacked as being usury, exploitation or unconscionable, that is really a backhand at delayed gratification. It is society, (or rather the cultural elite) inculcating to young people that saving for the future is bad, stupid, selfish and ignorant. How do you suppose this message has played out with Millenials? Statistics show they have received the message loud and clear. Millenials don’t have IRA’s, they don’t save period, they don’t buy houses, they don’t establish families, they don’t even drive cars!!!!! So it would appear that attacking delayed gratification has changed the mindset of our youth, (the most susceptible to such manipulations), away from the habit. Which bodes ill for their long term economic well being, resilience and maturity.

We see that in every case there is a certain faction that attacks delayed gratification. Since it is the platform of a faction, we must ask, why are they attacking delayed gratification? Since delayed gratification creates an economic buffer, that faction must not want an economic buffer, it makes people more mature, so that faction must not want people more mature, it makes people independent, so that faction must not want people independent, it allows for the utilization of money at opportune times, so that faction must not want that either. What do they want then? It must be that they want a dependent, weak, childish people, easy to manipulate and control. Seems like only a psychopath, intent on autocratic rule, would want such a thing…

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Crime That Pays!!!

Posted on June 29, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, if one punishes that which he wants less of, and rewards that which he wants more of, then why are corporate executives rewarded for breaking the law? Unless the government indeed wants the criminality to continue, and that is a valid argument, since the government is itself rewarded by the criminality. Take the latest example, Merrill Lynch and it’s parent company Bank of America, was just fined 25 million dollars for manipulating the precious metals markets. The paltry fine, that surely doesn’t come close to the profits made from that fraud, coupled with the fact no one is criminally charged, or is even losing their job, and you have proof government colluding with executives to defraud shareholders of money. “Crime that pays is crime that stays…” – a Zero Hedge comment.

The crime Merrill Lynch and therefore it’s parent company, Bank of America, committed, was fraudulently placing orders for precious metals, that they canceled just before the orders were filled… to trick other market participants into making disadvantageous decisions, based on those fraudulently placed orders. Presumably, Bank of America made far in excess of 25 million, and huge bonuses were awarded based on the profits of that fraud. Not a single executive is being criminally charged, fired, or even forced to return the bonus based on the fraud. Yet the shareholders, pensions, retirees, IRAs, etc… are out the returns they otherwise would have received based on their investment. That money is instead going to the government to fund abortions, war, tin pot dictators, oppression and progressivism.

Which makes the government in general and the regulatory agency that levied the fine, co conspirators to defraud precious metal investors, Bank of America shareholders, the public, currency traders and anyone else who trades in anything based on precious metal prices. Quite a slew of victims to that crime. Especially considering no one is being criminally charged. Imagine how you would be treated were you to defraud Bank of America out of 25 million dollars, let alone the public, BOA shareholders, investors, etc…? The proverbial book would be tossed at you from orbit reaching near relativistic speeds. Showing the clear double standard which is proof of arbitrary rule, or that government officials desire that laws be broken, as a means to corruptly fund government.

Sadly, the Merrill Lynch, Bank of America story is far too common. Duetsche Bank was recently fined millions for manipulating silver metal markets a few years ago. Goldman’s shareholders profits get harvested regularly, while the crimes of Wells Fargo are as storied as Bonnie and Clyde, but on the other side. Every too big to fail bank is above the law. If armed robbery was treated like stealing from investors, then a thug who was caught, would have his victims pay back some of the money, to the government, not to the themselves… with no jail or even criminal charges. This would obviously drastically lower the incidence of violence and thievery in our society… just as the policy has led to a drastic reduction in white collar crime… Or has it?

What does this whole sordid story tell us? That the government does not want such criminality to stop. It is a revenue stream. True, a stream of largess that comes at cost to the investing public, pensions, IRAs, and tangentially, every single American, but if one cares nothing for these people, then the fraud is the best deal going. We know this because if the government and regulatory agencies did care, they would not fine the shareholders, the victims, but criminally charge the actors, the people who actually decided to break the law, and make examples of them. That the government fleeces shareholders, and lets the criminals get off without even a slap on the wrist, is clear evidence they want such crimes to continue, so the government itself can reap profits from the fraud. How progressive!

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Are All Civilizations Equal?

Posted on June 27, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the notion that all civilizations are equal, is provably false, yet it is one that has caught on today. It is to hold the barbarian as equal to the civilized. If all civilizations are indeed equal, then by any measure, they would come out the same. Allowing the notion, all civilizations are equal in the aggregate, then the good and bad of any given civilization will balance. What measures to use though? Inevitably, any measure we use will be weighted towards Western values, like freedoms, equality, standard of living, oppression, poverty rates, the existence of institutions we find offensive, like slavery and racism… because we have been civilized by Western values. The civilizations the West is being compared to hold them as good though. So, we must use western values, else the West wins by default.

Anything and everything can be compared by measurement. All that is required is a scale. Simple things can be measured simply and complex things must be measured complexly. We can measure which board is longer by using feet and inches, we can measure the standard of living of a society by the individual gross domestic product, and we can measure the loudness of a sound by decibels. To say that two things are equal and not supplying a measure is like stepping into air. Look at two boards, they are clearly not equal, but if you are not allowed to refute the claim they are the same length, by measuring in board feet, the claim is spurious. Because any claim must be justifiable and verifiable, any claim that does not allow for measure is certainly not verifiable, therefore is sophistry.

Western civilization today is under attack because of historical sins. The criticisms are, by our Western value structure, justified. Holding the Christian Enlightened Western ideals, human life is sacred, Natural Rights, discourse as the arbiter of truth, the Golden Rule and individualism, we find our history to be disturbing. The practice of slavery by our ancestors is a black mark, as is the slaughter on an industrial scale of human beings during our World Wars. Government induced famines were a crime against humanity. The genocides of the Armenians, Gypsies, Jews, and Roma, cannot be forgiven by any but the victims. These are sins that we and our civilization are being judged for. Even though, in every case, the crime was predicated against, and a violation of… Western moral values!

A glance through history shows that these institutions, slavery, genocide, forced migrations, wars and oppression, are found in every civilization known, throughout history. There is not one civilization that did not practice most if not all these things. Conventional wisdom was, civilizations believed that the strong must subjugate the weak, so the strong may survive and the weak perish. This thinking was discredited by Western Civilization. None of these sins are unique to Western Civilization, they have occurred from time immemorial by all civilizations, except now in the West. Since our historical sins match those of every other, they negate each other in a comparison… even based on Western morality. Therefore we must look at what is of greater worth among the various known civilizations.

The simple fact that Western Civilization uniquely values life as precious, freedom as intrinsic, and has as an ideal the Golden Rule, is singular in the history of the world. These philosophical innovations, unequaled, have led to our forefather’s achievements. Achievements that are not matched by any other… the abolition of slavery, freedom of the press, the popular vote, the scientific method, and free enterprise. These are advancements that we have not seen in any previous civilization, or any that exists today, outside Western Civilization. Therefore, the supposition that all civilizations are equal, even in the aggregate, is spurious. Since it is only by our own morally innovative western values that we can condemn ourselves! Why then do so many push and believe such a measurably wrong assertion?

Sincerely,

John Pepin

To Whom Much Is Given…

Posted on June 23, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the old saying, “To whom much is given, everything will be given, and to whom little is given, everything will be taken away,” is proved every day. There is a host of reasons for this, not the least of which is… government cannot help those with connections enough, the double standard, government policies that destroy the family, etc… There are many policies that hold those born of low station down, many of which are supposed to help them up, which shows either incompetence, or conniving, by those who came up with and implemented them. Nonetheless, I think we can all agree, taking from those with little to start, is neither just, human hearted, nor is it in the best interests of humanity. Perhaps then we could change that paradigm for the better?

Would it make more sense to hold someone who is mentally retarded to the same standard as a genius? Well, isn’t that exactly how government, society and the culture work, they hold the socially retarded to a much higher standard than the social genius. Just as the State will punish the poor with draconian punishments for minor infractions. They will turn a blind eye to economy endangering open criminality by the elite. A poor kid will go to jail for stealing a bunch of flashlights from a hardware store, while Hillary escaped consequences for destroying subpoenaed evidence, Holder perjured himself before congress, Corzine stole money out of his clients accounts while Goldman, Deutsche bank, JP Morgan, and Wells Fargo have paid billions in fines… and not one person is in jail, for any of those crimes.

There is an old adage, take away the money from a millionaire and he will have it back again in a year. This is because of connections. Those with connections have their paths paved before them, while those of us without connections, have the way plowed up before us. Warren Buffett for example, he made quite a lot of money in the markets, slow but sure. Once he developed connections, that is when the millionaire became a billionaire. Buying a train everyone said would continue to lose money. Buffett went on television and loudly proclaimed… his secretary paid a higher tax rate than he did! Obama used the outrage to justify raising taxes… on Buffett’s secretary! In payback, Obama granted Buffett’s train a monopoly in carrying oil from Canada to Texas refineries… poof, instant billionaire.

Everyone knows the absence of fathers from the home has resulted in an increase in drug use, crime, incarceration rates, overdose deaths, generational poverty and homelessness. The very things the progressives claim to want to end. But if they did end those scourges, there would be no need of the progressives… so these problems will never end, because they cannot. Progressive policies, claimed to be put in place to help single mothers, encourage… more women to become single mothers, single mothers to have more babies out of wedlock, create an incentive for married women to divorce, and reduces the role of father, from husband and educator, to bread winner only. The rapid rise in single parent homes since the 1960’s, is proof enough of the results, if only suggesting intent.

We could change the paradigm for the better, but to do so we must think before we act. Because while the heart is a good guide it is often a poor judge. The way to changing the paradigm then, is to stop delegitimising and outright vilifying fathers, restore the role and esteem of the nuclear family, hold the elite to a HIGHER standard than the poor, lessen the role and scope of government so the connected will not be able to leverage their connections into riches… these are ideas that would go a long way towards making obsolete that old saying, “…everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away.” Clearly, the elite want a society where class mobility is tamped down as much as possible… do you?

How Good is Called Evil.

Posted on June 19, 2019 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, attributing to the whole the failings of the minority, is the means to vilifying the whole. Take any random or not random group of people. Some percentage will have every sort of moral failing. Most probably in line with the culture in the aggregate. Since, no matter the group, there will always be people who have demons, any group can be vilified, discredited, denounced and ostracized, by conflating the failings of the few, who will inevitably fail, with the majority in that group. That makes the whole group appear to be villains regardless of it’s actual virtue. Obviously, only a psychopath or sociopath would do such a thing, to make good people appear bad. Yet we see it done constantly by the new class progressive elite in the West.

Families are the backbone of civilization. They are where children are born, nurtured, educated and civilized. The family unit is the atom of civilization. There are those however who would like to see an end to the family unit as it is an impediment to their utopian plans for humanity. Because the Brave New World cannot be ushered in until the family is a thing of the past. In an unrelated thought… have you noticed how fathers are conflated with louts, lazy, ignorant, stupid and useless? It is almost like good fathers are being vilified, discredited and denounced. Fathers being a critical element in the family unit and all. Nevertheless, to any casual observer, the state of the family unit in the second decade of the twenty first century, shows it is in decline on every front.

The vast majority of Catholic priests are righteous, honest, upstanding men, who have dedicated their lives to a higher purpose. A very small minority on the other hand, are evil beyond reckon, as in any and every group of people. Meanwhile, the innocent Catholic priest has been painted with the same brush as the child molester, until many people conflate being a Catholic priest with being a pedophile. This view is encouraged by the cultural elite, promoting it on television, news and film. It is almost as if, the elite are trying to vilify all priests, and thus Catholicism itself. There is a philosophy that openly avows in it’s founding documents that, “religion is the opium of the people,” and establishes atheism as the State religion. Vilifying Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular is a means to that end.

Capitalism has elevated humanity to the point of reaching for the stars. In the thousands or even millions of years humanity might have existed, we have never, (as far as we know) ever reached orbit, let alone the Moon itself. Yet today we are bombarded with capitalism’s failings. The media tells us to ignore the famines of socialism, but to pay close attention to the pollution from capitalism. They never bring up the fact that the former soviet socialist vassal states are environmental nightmares. Let alone the inconvenient truth, that Imperial China’s single party oversees the biggest current environmental disaster on the planet. Their rare earth processing alone has rendered a vast region toxic. We are told to focus on the failings of capitalism, rather than it’s accomplishments… to vilify free enterprise.

Calling good evil and evil good is hard. Since good is beautiful and evil is ugly, good must be made to appear ugly and evil hidden, lest it’s hideous visage repulse too many. Conflating the inevitable bad element of any group, with the whole, is an ideal means to make good appear evil. Claim the few ministers who are evil, are the norm, and Christianity itself is besmirched. Carefully guide people around capitalism’s triumphs, only to show it’s failings, and capitalism is discredited. There will always be alcoholics, wife beaters and layabouts, that is the human condition. To conflate them with hard working, nurturing, sober husbands, lowers the value we place on fathers, thus the family. These are examples of calling good evil, by conflating the minority with the majority, can you think of others?

Sincerely,

John Pepin
