The Astounding Times We Live In…

Posted on November 20, 2017 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me… we are in amazing times. Today, we have a President that faced calls for his impeachment and a special prosecutor, before he even took the oath of office! His legitimate executive orders are routinely countermanded by activist judges and he is lambasted in the media constantly. Many even claim he will be assassinated before his term is up! Yet the Secret Service does nothing to prevent it. The entire elite stand as a unit against him and his presidency. We have a President who, before he took office won medals for his anti racial stands, but now is vilified as a racist. He was known for his philanthropy before running but now is called a hater. He is so loathed by the elite that the media routinely make up stories about him to lower his standing. Yes, what astounding times we live in!

Trump is a member of the bourgeoisie. The new class intelligentsia and intellectuals despise the bourgeoisie and they have made no effort to pretend they are open minded. His election was seen as a slap in the face of the new class elite by the people. Us filthy unwashed had the audacity to stand up to their usurpations. For that they have little room in their black hearts for forgiveness. Trump must be destroyed, as do we… for our audacity, to think we could run our own lives without the constant oversight and surveillance of the elite. The elite who cannot boil water, without an illegal alien doing it for them, believe the rest of us must bow before them and accept their edicts, as to how to run our lives. You know… because they are so much smarter than you and I. Trump is a direct affront to the elite. They had planned on getting total power, and now they have to settle for almost total power… all because we elected a member of the despised bourgeoisie.

In normal times, calling for the impeachment of a President before he even takes office would be considered unhinged, today it is considered enlightened, as long as the President is not a progressive! While Obama skated on such astounding scandals, like Fast and Furious where he shipped weapons directly into the hands of violent drug cartels while vilifying honest gun dealers for it, Benghazi where the entire Obama administration lied about the cause and that they refused to help our people, or the IRS targeting groups for their political beliefs,.. Trump is attacked for made up allegations like a prostitute urinating on a bed. The double standard couldn’t be more obvious. If not for the over the top negative reporting on Trump, the people would reject the new class progressive elite, for their unhinged reaction to the election.

We, the people, are the true target of the elite’s vitriol. You and I are the ones who voted Trump in and the elite are set on making us pay for our intransigence. While the new class elite despise Trump, we are the real target of their hatred. They despise us, the elite consider us too stupid to run our own lives, we lack their education and indoctrination to think correctly, our common sense enrages the elite and our detestable love of freedom incurs their wrath as well. To the elite you and I are the real enemy. We see that in the way our government works in the dark. They claim secrets are for “national security” but in reality it is for their protection we are kept in the dark. The example of Benghazi works well to illustrate the situation. We were lied to for political expediency and the rest of the new class elite went right along with it. Other governments knew the truth but the American people were lied to. Obviously since other governments knew, but the people were lied to, the lies were not to protect us from other governments… but to protect the new class elite from our enlightenment.

Now that Trump is in office he is further infuriating the new class elite. Releasing the JFK files shows the elite to be connivers who are utterly bereft of morals. The old saw that it was a lone gunman narrative is being crushed by the reality the files are illustrating. Trump’s cutting regulations is unacceptable to the elite, who put those regulations in place, to keep us from competing with their politically favored companies. His attempt to ban immigrants who come here to do us harm drives the elite crazy. The chaos that Islamic terrorism brings is the means they plan on using to lever even more power. Everything the elite do is for their benefit and comes at cost to the rest of us. To the new class elite, our out dated Constitution is not a document to live by, but a tool to be used to destroy anyone, (like Trump) who would live by it. Yes, the times we live in are unprecedented, but rest assured, if a progressive got the treatment Trump has, the media would be calling for beheadings… which is just another sign of the times.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

To Be Angry, or Grateful… It’s Your Choice

Posted on November 16, 2017 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, we all have plenty of reason to be angry, God knows not one of us has escaped misfortune, or… we could be grateful for the experiences, knowledge, wisdom and maturity the totality that our life has given us. Either stance is logically permissible. By the time we are five years old we have been dealt a bad hand. We have had to go from a comfortable crawl to learn to stand and walk, which, if you think about it, is pretty unfair. On the other hand, one could be grateful for the ability to stand and walk on one’s own. It is in humility that our gratefulness is fully matured. True gratefulness by definition, is based in the humble recognition that it, (the good we are grateful for), might not have been there. As a result of our free will, we get to choose whether to be angry or grateful, along with all that implies. What power over our own happiness and indeed contentment, along with the power over our station that free choice gives us.

The situation we find ourselves in, are only part of the equation of how an episode in our lives comes out. Our reaction to that event also has to be factored in. At no time is this more true than… months, years and even decades after the fact. Anger at being treated unfairly is one reaction that is fully justifiable, or grateful it didn’t turn out worse, is another. Multiply the effect of anger over months, years and decades, and that justifiable anger results in bitterness and resentment. How you feel about a thing does not have to be how you think about a thing. Moreover, the more you will your logic over your emotion, the stronger mentally you will become. Your will doing mental push ups. Gratefulness mitigates almost any situation. Clearly, there are some that in the immediate, no amount of will can overcome, but time allows the will to gain the advantage.

Gratefulness leads inexorably to happiness. The two go hand in hand. You could search, as one does the black swan, for a grateful person who is unhappy, but if you do find one, by definition you haven’t found someone grateful. Anger on the other hand leads to unhappiness. When have you met someone in perpetual anger who was deeply happy? You haven’t, because the angry are unhappy, just as the grateful are glad. Making it clear that our happiness is in our own hands, not anyone else’ nor the situation we find ourselves in. Without spending most of our time, and mental energy being angry, allows us more time to focus on the environment we find ourselves in. Obviously, those who focus outwardly advance in whatever endeavor they undertake, while those constantly focused inwardly, trip on every stumbling stone of life.

Happiness and contentment are tightly correlated states of being. What good is it to be the richest person on the planet if one is not content? Living with some mosquito buzzing in their inner ear, never quieting it for long by buying stuff, sex or prestige, because it exists on the blood of their anger. To be content makes the life of anyone sweet, to live malcontent renders a life ill lived. If she is content, the poorest person on the planet lives a good life. Moreover, contentment leads to a better situation. People who are happy, and therefore content, will find more and more opportunities in life. Others find people who are deeply happy to be magnetic… especially people with power. Humble gratefulness then, along with allowing us better focus outwardly, makes us more magnetic, which gives us power over our station.

It all falls back on that choice, the astonishing power of free will, to be angry, because God knows, we have plenty of reason to be, or grateful, because of the life, knowledge and wisdom our experiences gave us. The one thing we should be on guard for is, comparing ourselves to others, which leads to arrogance rather than humble thankfulness. So you could say that choosing to be humbly grateful… will lead to happiness, which will lead to contentment, which then leads to the better standard of living that a better situation gives us, which of course, leads to more things to be grateful for. But then again… there is so much to be angry about. It’s your choice.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Why Our Immigration Policy Is What It Is…

Posted on November 13, 2017 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, immigration policy for any nation should seek immigrants who will benefit the host nation, and reject those who would lower it. Law abiding people should be preferred over law breakers, hard workers over the lazy, the agreeable over the disagreeable, the honest over the dishonest, good over evil and those who seek to integrate over revolutionaries, no matter their stripe. It would seem to me that this is common sense but apparently the leaders of the world have the exact opposite view. One must wonder as to the logic behind seeking immigrants that will go directly on welfare, break our laws, be dishonest, foment revolution and those who are patently evil? Why would our leaders seek such people to be new members of our societies, while rejecting those who seek to integrate, are good, hard working, agreeable law abiders? Clearly the elite are not stupid, they must know what they are doing, so why?

The elite claim to be our betters. They tell us constantly how stupid we are, and that we need to be told what to think, how to act, what should make us happy, how many children to have, how many windows to put in our homes, how hot or cold we should keep those homes, how many hours to work, who should be able to do what, what kind of car we should drive, the gas mileage of that car, what to eat, etc… all the while doing the exact opposite themselves of what they force us to do. Anyone who has such over the top arrogance, clearly, is someone who considers themselves superior to the common run of man. Since they consider themselves to be so much better than us, they must have a reason for importing so many people who will not fit in, will break our laws, will never be employed, come from a rape culture, who believe lying is a sacrament, many of which are provably evil?

The elite have always wanted permanent power, not just for them but for their half witted offspring as well. The elite are human beings, self interested, selfish, egotistical and bereft of morals. Not like the common run of man, but to a far greater extent since their avarice, abuse and actions go unpunished and most of the time… are rewarded. As egoists the elite seek their own benefit regardless of the negative consequences to the rest of humanity. The egoist connivers we have today as our leaders then seek power, sex, money and fame above all else, the lot of Mankind is of little importance to them, so they grab with gusto everything they can, and use whatever means is at their disposal to meet their selfish wants and desires. So it cannot be argued that the elite do not have a plan why they are importing chaos.

Marx said, when the people reject the revolution, change the people. The people of the West have repeatedly rejected socialism. WWII was a rejection of national socialism and the Cold War was a slap in the face to international socialism. Yet socialism is perfect for the elite. Under the socialist system, the leaders get all the goods of the economy, without having to produce a single good for anyone else. In Cuba for example, everyone is a slave to Castro and he owns everything, every building, every car, even every spoon. The people of Cuba have no say in anything. They are told what to think, do and say. Any deviation from political correctness is punished severely. Having wealth is not sufficient for a hog, nor is mere limited power, the truly greedy seek everything and to make slaves of the rest of us. In that, Socialism is the perfect system, and the elite lust for it.

So it seem clear the elite want to change the west to socialism or at least some form of autocracy. To do that they must the conditions for it. The best way to achieve this is to introduce chaos. Machiavelli said that tyranny is better for the people than chaos, because in chaos people cannot do business and therefore many starve. When the leaders have created chaos in society, the people will demand order, and when a large part of the population are out of control, the only way to reign them in is by draconian surveillance, regulations and punishments. Perhaps that is why the elite are intent on swamping Christian nations with Muslims, democratic nations with revolutionaries, prosperous countries with welfare seekers, good lands with evil people and safe places with law breakers… to change the people and cause the rest of us to demand tyranny. The new imports are used to tyranny and will accept it as the norm, and the rest of us will demand to be oppressed… to stop the chaos. Of course, only a conniving turd would do such a thing, but that is exactly who we have as leaders today, scheming fiends.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Freedom of Expression is Society’s Relief Valve

Posted on November 9, 2017 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, no culture, people or nation can call itself civilized until it not only allows, but encourages freedom of expression. Human beings are social animals. We tend to congregate, most of us are drawn to live in large cities, yet even with, or perhaps because of our social nature, tensions build up in society. No matter how constituted, any group of people will build up tensions, which is only exacerbated by limiting communication. Clearly then, without freedom of expression to release some of that tension, if it build’s up too much, limiting that ability to communicate will result, indeed it can only result… in violence. Some may mistakenly believe that the people can be monitored sufficiently and regulated effectively enough to hold off violence. Despite the growing absurd violence we see in our ever more m surveilled and regulated society. When government will do nothing to stop the violence by savage factions, their aggression will eventually generate a backlash from their victims, and societal cohesion will break down. All because freedom of expression was blocked.

Take a pressure cooker, fill it with beans and water, close it and weld the release shut. No matter how strongly it is built, eventually the heat will cause the thing to explode, the weakest link will fail, leading to catastrophic containment failure. The complex system of a pressure cooker therefore can be considered to have experienced a long tailed event, ie, the container catastrophically failed due to the release being welded shut. Groups of people are also complex systems, our ability to communicate between ourselves freely and without overt threat of violence, (since all communication between humans contains some undercurrent threat of violence), allows us to drain off some tension. Block our ability to communicate however, and the tension cannot be drained away, it builds until eventually we encounter a long tailed event… catastrophic failure of societal cohesion.

Censorship by whatever means builds tension, rather than relieves it, and so is detrimental. Government censorship is the most obvious yet there are other forms of censorship that are even more pernicious and problematic. It should be obvious that any group that has, and especially one with a history of doing violence to suppress the freedom of expression of others, is engaging in censorship. That group need not be governmental, it can be an economic faction, political faction, religious faction, racial faction, gender faction, or any other arbitrary idea someone can exploit to subdivide the human race. There is also the soft governmental censorship of political correctness. Political correctness is, as it’s name states openly, is political in nature. It is the will of the political elite, effected by the cultural elite, as to how we are supposed to self censer, in order to be considered correct, or in other words, considered “cool” by the cultural elite, and thus be correct with the political elite.

The faction shutting down freedom of expression is the one that needs to be taken far less seriously. Since clearly censoring another is by its very definition, oppression, those who do it are oppressors. It then stands to reason that a faction that at their core is oppressive, then the rest of their policies, most probably are tyrannical. By their own actions, those supressing the voice of others, discredit their own arguments! Any society that takes the arguments of factions that have discredited themselves is one that will soon see difficulty. If we don’t want more difficulty in our futures, we must give the opinions of those who seek to censor us, every bit of credit they deserve… a hearty laugh.

Our society is rapidly losing freedom of speech. That statement becomes more and more unassailable every day. From out of control political correctness, thought laws in the form of hate crime legislation, violent protests on university campuses to shut down freedom of expression, to outright legal censorship in Europe and even Canada to prevent criticism of Islam, our civilization has openly given up on free speech and has replaced it with absurdities. Our elite are effectively welding the release valve shut on the pressure cooker, that is every society of human beings there ever was and ever will exist, and the end result can only be, a long tailed event… the catastrophic failure of societal cohesion.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Our Unscrupulous Elite

Posted on November 5, 2017 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the elite in the West have shown themselves to be utterly bereft of ethics, so much so that it has become undeniable. From the pedophilia scandals ravaging across Europe and the US, to vote rigging, pay to play, the murder of Seth Rich, scandals that are made up out of whole cloth, real scandals the media ignores and wars to insure the profits of the elite, they have shown they are absolutely unqualified to lead a game of kick ball, let alone the free world, and our world is showing the results of their villainy. All of our societal, economic and cultural problems can, and indeed must, be laid at their doorstep. The out of control drug problem sweeping across the US, the collapse of middle class wages relative to inflation, daily terror attacks, spiraling crime, the horrendous murder rate in cities like Baltimore, and even the breakup of the nuclear family… all are the fault of the elite, because our leaders are utterly corrupt.

In the US the Republican and Democrat parties are both Progressive/Marxist in everything but name. They both are exclusionary of libertarians, constitutionalists and constructionists. Only socialists are allowed in the elite today, not just in the US but especially in Europe. No one loathes democracy like the democrats, which was highlighted by the recent revelations that Hillary and the DNC, rigged the election against Sanders. It cannot have escaped your notice that any bill to give back even a modicum of liberty to the people is met with vitriol from the elite. Trump’s milk toast tax cut that excludes the elite is called a handout to the rich? So, I am wondering, who do the elite consider rich? Someone struggling to make ends meet on a waiter’s salary? I find it odd, or would it be ironic, that the elite begrudge us any privacy at all while demanding their own actions be hidden. The elite, not just in the democrat party but both parties, are socialist to the core because socialism guarantees they, and their half witted children, will stay in power forever.

In every way the elite work against the interests of the people. The elite care nothing if a few plebeians are mowed down by a truck, they are safe behind walls, sipping champagne. Why should they care if a dozen teens are shot in Detroit every weekend, their children go to private schools, protected by armed guards. Perpetually lowering wages only means they can get their maids and gardeners cheaper. So what if almost two hundred kids overdose and die from opiates every day, it simply lowers the population. What is the big deal that Hillary sold twenty percent of US uranium to Russia, she received a handsome payday for it, seven hundred million dollars. Human trafficking is a boon to the elite, they can get children to molest and young women to rape, and all the while pretend to be upset by it. The proof is that Rotherham was allowed to go on for over a decade!

We are supposed to take their word for lies when the evidence they are liars becomes more clear every day. The Vegas shooting is the perfect example. Obviously the government is hiding something, who knows what, but if you were being questioned by the police and your story changed a tenth as much as the government’s has, you would be indicted and convicted of giving false information at the very least. The murder of Seth Rich clearly wasn’t a robbery gone wrong and was another cover up. When a self interested person kills someone for their money… it doesn’t make sense to leave the money! That story is absurd on the face of it. Moreover, the recent release of the JFK files shows, in the elite’s own words, they are evil. Only an truly evil person would consider detonating a bomb, killing innocent Americans to gin up anger to go to war! Yet the CIA considered exactly that! How many times have they done such diabolical acts and got away with it? We will never know because the secrecy of our government, is not to protect us from other governments, it is to protect the elites antics.

It couldn’t be more obvious the elite hold the rest of us in utter contempt. We, the great unwashed, don’t have the elite’s education, their sagacity or their intellect. From their jets, that we pay for, they look down on us like a hawk looks down on a rabbit. Their corruption is out in the open, the cat is out of the bag and they are scrambling to change the subject. Yet in their arrogance they are too stupid to understand they work against their own interests as well. They seem to believe they can defecate where they eat and nothing bad will happen. If we follow them into decadence… everything they depend on will collapse. Their access to little girls will be stopped, their cushy positions will evaporate and they will have to engage in actual work just to survive, in a world they caused to collapse into chaos. Far from being above it all, as they are now, they will be forced to struggle like the rest of us, but without the talents, abilities and cleverness of someone who has to work for his daily bread. Someone needs to tell the elite, when you excrete where you eat, sooner or later, you will eat what you excrete.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Elite’s Suicide Solution

Posted on November 2, 2017 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me… the elite are in full self destruct mode. They are so self delusional however I don’t think most of them even know what is happening. Living in a fantasy is not conducive to understanding reality, and so the elite believe the rest of us dream their dreams as well… to destroy the market system, erase Christianity, eliminate the US from the world stage and establish a one world government. The elite were on the cusp of getting all their aspirations met when the masses voted against them, which has infuriated the elite to the point of insanity. That is why they think, poking us in the eye repeatedly with their greasy fingers will teach us a lesson, when in fact their actions are alienating us from them faster every day. The elite are oblivious that holding their breath until they pass out, as a toddler does, is not becoming. Like I said, the elite are in full suicide mode.

The NFL is destroying itself with it’s protests against the American way. You know people have disconnected from reality when the 1% protest how oppressed they are. Even as NFL viewership falls off the table, the players, owners and managers double down spitting in the face of the people who pay their overly inflated salaries. Can you imagine that grown men, who make in the tens of millions of dollars a year chasing a ball around a field, are so stupid they would defecate where they eat? What are they thinking? The answer is, they are not thinking, they are reacting emotionally, their fantasy lives have allowed them to live outside reality for so long, they believe it is ordained by God they be rich, famous and loved. Unfortunately for the elite, reality is crashing in on them, yet they are so blinded with hate they don’t even notice it. Just one example is, ESPN is loosing 15,000 customers a day in the month of October alone!

Late night talk has attacked their audience and our ideals so much they are hemorrhaging viewers. Comedy is subjective, people will laugh at themselves and those we like when the humor is good natured, but the humor on late night is anything but good natured, it is mean spirited and divisive. The anger and hate the elite express for the American ideals, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of association, self determination and freedom in general, are so despised by the elite comedians, they don’t bother to hide their loathing of us anymore. Yet they are shocked we are not watching them. In their fantasy, our role is to enrich them, and theirs is to tell us what imbeciles we are. The elite think they can urinate on us and tell us it is raining, and we are so stupid, we will open our mouths to catch the drops.

The legacy media has utterly wiped out it’s own credibility. Almost every news outlet claims to be unbiased, so their propaganda will be taken seriously, yet their reporting belies the fact. That they have been caught in so many lies, especially of late, can only discredit them. On election night they openly cried, tore their clothes and cursed God, that the American people didn’t choose their candidate. The elite media vomits their vitriol on us, and in their arrogance, believe we are too foolish to admit smelling it. Their hubris is paying dividends though, they are losing viewers like a ship slipping below turbid water, drowning in their own fluids. Self awareness is a trait of a mature individual, not someone who lives in a fantasy, and the elite media has lived in their illusion for too long. Now they are fighting back with the meme of “Fake News,” as they openly spout lies and propaganda for the globalists and America haters, denigrate Christianity, while defending Satanism, Paganism, Atheism and Islam.

Yes, the elite not only in the US but around the world are in full self destruct mode, and I am afraid there is nothing that can be done about it. Like spoiled children the elite live in a fantasy. They are a herd of lemmings racing to the cliff and nothing will dissuade them from their goal. Apparently blind to the fact, we the people are the source of all the goods they experience, the elite believe they can do without us. We pay the bills, we go to the games, we choose which news to watch and we decide what is funny… not them. We are the foundation, they are merely corbels adorning the facade, and anyone with an ounce of understanding knows the foundation is critical, but corbels can easily be replaced, or done without altogether, especially when a corbel yanks itself from the cornice. Oh well, they had a good run, now it’s time for adults to take over.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Destruction of our Youth and the Work Ethic

Posted on October 30, 2017 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, our culture has and is teaching our kids to be lazy, dependent and lack any sense of shame whatsoever. The evidence is all around us and anyone with open eyes can see it for themselves. It would be a great sin however to blame the kids, for they are what we made them. We are the real problem, we have dropped the ball, we are the ones who have allowed our culture to become so toxic. While we were worrying about whether or not they would make the baseball team or the soccer team, they were being programmed by the government to be good little socialists, envious, lazy, angry and violent. That star football player is now in the basement utterly incapable of holding down a job, and it is because we allowed the government to fail them, and us. Yes the government has a monopoly on education and everything government does, it does poorly and at great expense, but in the end we are responsible for our children.

Many of the youth are lost and will never be employable, this is the sad truth that under girds the US immigration policy. I was talking with a dairy farmer a few years ago and we were chatting about part time help on the farm. He stridently told me that he no longer hires local kids. They are far too lazy to work on a farm, he only hires Mexicans, because they put in a days work for a day’s wage. That was not always the case, local youths used to work very hard… and had a ton of ambition. Those kid’s parents in many instances are very hard working people. Rather than follow the example of their parents, who the government monopoly school system calls ignorant rednecks, who believe in a sky god… they have followed the examples of utterly useless people like gangstas, actors and lottery winners.

The connection between hard work and prosperity has been broken by a culture that glorifies instant success and hedonist lifestyle. Kids are bombarded by a media that fills them with absurdities that only make sense as long as they are kept in a fantasy land. As long as meat comes from McDonalds, and one never has to get blood on one’s shirt to eat, the most insane ideas can be contemplated, because they need not comport with reality. Today, someone with no dignity can beg for a matter of moments in front of a Wendy’s, and get a free meal. In the past, someone begging might have been offered work, but not charity, they would have had to struggle all day to get one meal with half the calories, but would have been able to look anyone in the eye.

Everyone wants to win the lottery and very few want to be the next Bill Gates. Winning the lottery allows one to play video games all day long while becoming a self made billionaire requires decades of time and huge amounts of diligent effort. In a culture that values instant wealth over earned wealth, is it any wonder our kids seek the easy way to riches? People have lost dignity. There was a time in the US that it would have been profoundly uncommon for anyone to admit they were on government assistance. It was a mark of shame to live at the poor farm and as a result only alcoholics and the mentally handicapped stayed there for any length of time. Today people openly brag about getting their government check.

Our culture idolizes the immoral then we wonder why our kids lack morals. Look at the way pop stars of today dress, act and behave. They not only have no dignity but they openly flaunt they perversions. Television today is all about promoting the post modernist stance there is no truth, only relative, subjective truths. The schools teach Common Core which is an indoctrination into socialism and creates high school graduates who couldn’t graduate grade school a few decades ago. Our schools are stupefying our kids, so they will be unable to rise above their government monopoly schooling, by reading the classics. How many people unable to make change for a dollar are interested in Plutarch’s Lives or even Thomas Moore’s Utopia. We have gone so far off the rails… oral sex is not considered sex!

All this has come about because we were unwilling to fight. We allowed the “educated” new class to run the show… and what a shit show it has become. While we have much responsibility, our leaders bare most of it. They are the ones who tell us to sit down and shut up and leave it to our “betters” to decide. We have allowed it, because we allowed them to convince us, we are not smart enough, wise enough or forward looking enough, by people unable to tie their own shoes. As our civilization collapses, imperiling the system that rocketed humanity to the point where so many can live in utter fantasy. Wouldn’t it be sadly ironic then, that those who’s lives are a phantasm, will destroy the very thing that allows them to live in their fantasy, forcing them to learn to live in the real world… or die, taking many of our kids with them.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

When some are above the law.

Posted on October 26, 2017 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, when some are above the law, why should anyone follow it? It is common sense that when laws are selectively enforced, they only serve the elite, not the society at large. Laws that serve only a segment of society are not in fact laws but regulations. Moreover, laws unequally applied are fundamentally unjust, and that is obvious even to the dimmest bulb. In a nation where some are above the law, to keep order, that fact must be hidden at all costs. To let the people know there is a faction that is above the law creates a reaction like vinegar and baking soda. Obviously, because the people become angry at the injustice of a group being above the law, and that the laws only serve to impoverish us so that the rich can get richer… the people will follow the leaders and not follow their laws. No society can withstand such tensions created by inequality under the law.

For a law to be moral it must serve the interests of society at large, to do that it must apply to everyone, and if it doesn’t it is not law but regulation. A regulation only applies to the politically disfavored person, industry or group regulated, and is always to give a politically favored group an advantage in an otherwise free and fair exchange. It is not in the interests of the disfavored to go along with a paradigm that so harms them for the benefit of others. Smart people would either change the paradigm or become the politically favored and thus reap the benefits themselves. The one strategy upsets the system with perhaps a long tailed event, while the other creates churn in the elite, neither situation is good for the elite, and so will be blocked by them.

When the people themselves become the politically disfavored group… why should a self interested people go along? People are like water when our self interests are concerned we find every possible way through a barrier. This is because the universe we find ourselves in isn’t considerate of our interests but only our actions, and so our actions must serve our interests. That makes the best long term survival strategy… not to die. There is wisdom in a group, sometimes more than a single person, sometimes less, but the group can usually tell when the system has become unjust. When the system is unjust it makes no sense to be just, it is against our self interests. Oh some might try, but they will die, and the foolishness of being just in the land of the unjust will be shown to all… leading to more injustice.

When Law is used to give a faction unfair advantage over the rest of society, even if that advantage is small, over time that small advantage will result in all the money in a nation going to one person or faction, like Cuba or North Korea. Just like a game of Monopoly. Eventually one person gets it all. In a capitalist economy, those that get the most are always changing, a source of annoyance for the elite, but under socialism and cronyism, the elite can stay the elite no matter how corrupt, ignorant, stupid or absurd they become. Which history shows, leads to the fall of great societies. Rome being the most obvious along with Babylon, Persia, the Mongol empire, Athens, Sparta, etc…

It has become increasingly clear there is a class of people who are above the law in the US. Every day their antics are paraded in front of us and we are told they don’t matter. As a secretary of state flaunts her duty and exposes top secrets to our adversaries, and gets away with it, sailors are sent to given decades in Leavenworth for much less. As violence is encouraged, (and done), by a political faction, without legal ramifications, those calling for peace face ad homonym attacks. The legacy media is in a state of self destruction, becoming obvious mouth pieces for the progressive faction, while throwing a rock threw their neighbor’s fake news window, all the while ignoring the fact they live in a fake news glass house. The faction that is above the law and their boot licks are coming out in the open which shows they are out of control.

Why should you and I follow laws that don’t apply to those who make them? The only reason is the threat of violence. To be moral a law must serve the interests of the whole of society. Laws that serve the interests of a faction are therefore immoral and make the people themselves disfavored. There is no moral obligation to follow immoral laws, there is no spiritual compulsion since they come from Man and by the fact the are selectively applied, they have become arbitrary and only serve to give a faction advantage. Self interested people under such circumstances will seek to either become the elite, or smash the system, both of which might not end well. Worse of all, when a faction gets an unfair advantage over the rest of society, and being above the law certainly gives a faction a great advantage, they eventually accumulate all the money, the rich just get richer and richer, no matter how incompetent they become, which always eventually destroys the civilization. Given our recent history… where do you think the US is on that scale?

Sincerely,

The Migrant Crisis

Posted on October 23, 2017 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, those who are responsible for creating the conditions for, and enabling so many migrants to come to Europe, are guilty of crimes against humanity. That is not hyperbole or rhetoric but fact. The entire enterprise is created in suffering, facilitated by suffering and will end in suffering. Those who create misery, then wield it to facilitate more, ostensibly to destroy Western culture and so end in world wide wretchedness… is someone who can only be described as evil. Not mindless evil like a hurricane or earthquake, but mindful evil, knowing exactly what they are doing and why. Since the nature of reality is information, and information presupposes consciousness, a bad done by accident is not evil, but a bad done consciously, is. Evil effects the very nature of reality itself. So those responsible for creating the migrant crisis are consciously guilty of crimes against humanity.

A crime against humanity is a term used first in 1915 and later extensively against the National Socialists after WWII. This is part of the definition of a crime against humanity from, Trial International- “Other inhumane acts of a similar character intentionally causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or to mental or physical health.” Intentional acts not necessarily by states but by powerful actors to cause suffering is what a crime against humanity is. To commit such an act requires forethought, knowledge of outcome and intent to do harm. Since intent can never be known it must be inferred by actions. For example, a man walks into a bank, holds up a gun and fires several rounds into the ceiling… from those actions you can reasonably infer he is robbing the bank.

The first cause was the wars on Gaddafi and Assad. Those wars were either, the most ill conceived affairs in the history of mankind, else they were intended to start the ball rolling on a migrant crisis, either way it speaks ill of the elite at the time. Talk about wars of aggression, there wasn’t even a threat of attack from either! At least Bush pointed at an existential threat of EMP nuclear attack from Iraq, Obama just went and overthrew a foreign nation, along with the three stooges… Merkel, Camron and Sarkozy. They attacked the only formerly rogue nation that had given up it’s weapons of mass destruction, (WMD), sending the clear message to every rogue nation… better get WMD and fast! Most of all however, the overthrow of Gaddafi and subsequent attack on Syria, leading to mass refugees fleeing to Europe, genocide of Christians and Yazidis, and the rise of a short lived Caliphate, was the foot that kicked over the ant hill.

Untold numbers of people are losing their lives in rickety boats trying to make the crossing. The destroyed infrastructure and crushing poverty is leading to famine and disease, driving people to attempt the journey. Not surprisingly, only the strongest survive, which are young men. Think about it, if a boat capsizes ten miles off shore from it’s destination, who is most likely to make it to shore, the mother clutching her baby or the twenty something boy. Plus, what are the options for a young man in the Middle East? The elite have several wives, so there are none available for young men of lower caste, no jobs at all, and if they stay they might be pressed into service… so they go. Often they hate the very places they are emigrating to because they see their troubles as the fault of Europe and Europeans. Most importantly however, they are told by their culture and religion they are holy warriors, spreading their faith by emigration, so they have no interest at all in bending to the cultures they are invading.

Just ask them, and the elite everywhere will explain that they are so much smarter than you and I, presumably then, they have the acumen to understand that by overthrowing Gaddafi and waging a war to overthrow Assad, they would destabilize the Middle East. Then by encouraging immigration to Europe they would create death on the high seas for women and children. How could it slip by them that, hundreds of thousands of migrants, mostly young men, with no skills, no education, limited ability to speak the language and a superiority complex, might lead to societal upheaval potentially culminating in civil war? One can only reasonably infer the elite do know what they are doing, and therefore are willfully using human suffering to create conditions for a civil war.

How can anyone argue those in charge are not at fault when things go bad? Since the elite in Europe, the ones who set the dynamic up, nurtured it and we can infer… seek a civil war. They are clearly guilty of crimes against humanity… sooner or later their crimes will come to light. Being above the law today, they will almost certainly not be charged as such in this lifetime, but future generations will show them to be the villains they truly are, as well as motive. Of the three stooges, only Merkel is still in power. Her steadfast holding the door open for the tidal wave of immigrants shows her conscious choice and history will judge her the harshest for it. Those that pull the strings behind the curtain are every bit as culpable if not more so. Every drop of blood spilled by terrorists, every tear of a family as they mourn the loss of several children trying to get to Europe, every rape and mugging done by a migrant or refugee, along with every crime done against a migrant, is on the hands of the European elite. Make no mistake, they are criminals of the highest order… and history will deem them as such.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Tactics of Villains.

Posted on October 19, 2017 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, if I were a classic villain who wanted absolute power, I would want to control what people think they know, to do that I would start satire and discredited news organizations to compliment my “unbiased” ones. Such a scheme would both fund itself and give me a very long handle on information, and information is power. News I wanted discredited I would report on my discredited news organization, so “credible” news organizations would reject it. Simply by being on one of my satire or discredited sites would discredit a story, regardless of its veracity. If a political enemy reposted an article from my satire or discredited news organization, he or she is discredited by association. Obviously it would have to publish absurdities and carefully crafted stories that mimic reality to maintain it’s incredulity. Imagine if a villain did do such a thing? They could both hide inconvenient facts and discredit their political enemies at the same time.

Satire and fake news is ubiquitous today. The veracity ranges from tilting articles to outright fiction. Each outlet falling somewhere on that spectrum. Those that have a modicum of honesty, admit they are satire sites on an “About” page somewhere, the worse however purport themselves as honest. I count the New York Times in that last category as they have been caught a multitude of times printing outright fiction. No matter where on that spectrum of reliability the mean is, as long as there is a balance in political ideologies in those real to fake news organizations, a society is in political equilibrium. Today however, almost all news organizations are controlled by progressives, both “real” and fake. Just because a news organization calls itself conservative… doesn’t mean the publishers are conservative.

Fake sites have the ability to discredit the inconvenient truths of villains. Get out ahead of a negative story that you know is going to break, (because it is about one of your political allies), print it in the fake news and refuse to print it in the villain’s “credible” news site. Almost any story can be crushed that way. Simply post hit pieces in the villain’s “unbiased” news sites and the truth about the villain in the “Fake” news sites. What a double whammy against any opponent of a villain. Obviously the trick only works if the villain has a monopoly on the media, otherwise the length of the handle would get shorter as the opposition’s control of the media grew, until they balanced themselves out. That is what happens in most nations because all sides are driven to become nefarious. Such tactics as we are discussing however are done by the villainous and not the virtuous.

What a great way to discredit a villain’s political enemies, attack him or her in the “unbiased” media, and post any real news about the villain in his own fake news, that pretends to speak for his enemies. Any opponent who had the audacity to point at a villain’s closet skeleton could be destroyed. Simply by being caught reposting “fake” news, no matter if it is actually real or fake, will discredit a political opponent. The best part, to a psychopath, is that the villain has tricked the patsy into discrediting themselves! That way a villain can appear a hero and make the hero appear a fool.

In politics it is not truth, honesty, intelligence or wisdom that wins… it is appearance. A philosopher once said, take two men, put them one at a time on a podium. Let the first be hansom, stand straight, dressed well, speak with a pleasant voice and affecting presence. The second, give him a bent back, annoying voice, one eye bigger than the other and shabby clothes. Though the first speak nothing but nonsense, he will be heralded as a genius, the second though he speak the wisdom of the ages, will be ridiculed a fool… the ability to discredit someone and make them appear to be the second bestows great political power.

It stands to reason that, in places where there is party control of the media, especially one party control, those that react such atrocities against truth… are barred from the table of political power. Which only leaves those willing to use such nefarious means. Like I said, If I were a classic villain and wanted absolute power, I would want to control what people think they know, to do that I would start satire and discredited news organizations to compliment my “unbiased” ones. Of course, only a villain would do such a thing and villains are the last people we would want in charge… aren’t they?

Sincerely,

John Pepin
