Post Election Riots

Posted on November 14, 2016 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the violence we are seeing by progressives in our major cities is a result of fear, fear that Trump will abuse his political power as their man Obama did. Obama used every aspect of government to promote his ideology and destroy anyone who disagreed with him. Even Obama’s rhetoric foretold who he is, instead of calling conservatives the opposition, Obama called people enemies, rather than dialogue Obama vilified the loyal opposition, when Tea Party groups sought tax free status the Obama IRS denied them, Obama used taxpayer money to campaign for Clinton and himself in 2012, conservatives regularly get audited and some vocal conservatives get audited every year, Obama went around congress over and over, even signing a treaty with Iran, giving them a path to nuclear weapons without going to the Senate as the Constitution requires, in short Obama used every dirty trick in Alinsky’s book to grab and hold political power, and the progressives are worried Trump will do the same to them.

Fear is a powerful motivator. A person who is afraid will walk through fire and to a progressive loss of political power is terrifying. To a progressive, government is everything, mother, father, sister and brother, government is the means to all ends and is the best bludgeon there is. Progressives see government as the ultimate arbiter of right and wrong, and those who wield that political power as having the ability to decide, what is right and what is wrong. Since progressives are atheists at heart they have no concept of a greater moral code, the code the US was founded on, instead they see only a political code. Rights are, to a progressive, only those things the government allows the people to do, and if government changes it’s mind, the rights change as well. As a result, progressives feel real terror when they are not in charge, the terror that someone will use their own tactics against them.

I predicted progressives would become violent if Trump won and my prediction has been validated by progressives themselves. Daily riots are the norm in almost every major city in the US today because of progressive fear. To predict a cat will chase a mouse is no great feat and to predict progressives will become violent isn’t either. Since progressive ideology is based on hate, anger, and envy, and is implemented by government violence, it only follows progressives will become violent anytime they believe they can get away with it. Hate is their core emotion, envy is their primary motivator and anger is the horse they ride in on, making Violence the essence of progressivism.

Funded by billionaires like George Soros, these progressive organizations have the deep pockets to hire rioters, bus drivers and lawyers to foment violence and frustrate the legal establishment’s attempts to quell it. Instead of winding down, as anger usually does in time, these mobs are getting more violent and destructive. Until the racketeers have been arrested shutting off the flow of funds to the rioters, plan on seeing them get further out of hand until marshal law is imposed. Which is of course the plan, impose martial law and negate the election results. I guess if someone has enough money they are above the law, as Soros has proven over and over again, like when he beat his 19 year old girlfriend up badly, and she went to the NYC police, who turned her away! Progressives don’t believe in the rule of law because to them, it is merely the will of those in charge, and never part of a greater moral code.

The fear that progressive feel is in some ways justified. Trump has shown himself to be a man who holds grudges. Look how Trump went continued to go after Cruz after Cruz ceded victory to Trump in the primaries. This should be a warning to all progressives that Trump is a man who will exact revenge. Since Obama has created so many precedents to abuse Presidential power, for a political end, to harm enemies and help friends, all Trump need do is follow in Obama’s footsteps. There were no consequences for Obama and there probably will not be for Trump who is only doing what his predecessor did. Progressive organizations may have a much harder time getting tax free status, progressive news outlets may find themselves being audited, they might find their FBI files have been used to get a lever on them, they might find a government purge sweeps them from their beloved bureaucracy and they might discover their reliable allies in the media turning on them in fear of Trump. Indeed progressives have no one to blame but themselves.

Progressives created the environment where political power is the ultimate arbiter of right and wrong, they have devolved our system of government so that rights come from government, they used mean spirited rhetoric to slander their opponents and rather then debate a point resorted to personal attacks. They used the tactics of Saul Alinsky, who dedicated his book ‘Rules for Radicals’ to Satan. Progressives gleefully tried to destroy anyone who disagreed with their plans, personally and vindictively, in fact progressives created the very system and atmosphere they now fear, which explains the old saying, be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Trump Victory

Posted on November 10, 2016 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, President elect Trump has been elected with a mandate, a mandate to enact his contract with the American voter. That was the singular policy platform under which Trump won the electoral college with such strong support. There can be no question that Trump’s victory was not eked out, but a resounding up vote, for a return to constitutionalism and an end to cronyism. This election was a referendum on Obama’s corruption, foreign policy disasters, traitorous actions and creeping Marxism, and Obama’s legacy was soundly rejected. Now it is time to roll back the unconstitutional regulations, Obama care, eliminate all the bureaucracy, return the US to Constitutional rule. Now is not the time for nibbling at the edges, we have gone too far away from our founding principles, if Trump doesn’t act now, it may be too late for the US, at least as we know it. The people have spoken, we want liberty, justice and free enterprise. Trump is at the beginning, will he be a great president, or will he preside over the further destruction of the United States? I hope and pray his ego will not allow him to preside over our great nation’s ruin but follow through with his campaign pledge, his contract with the American voter.

In every state Trump was supposed to take according to the polls, Trump took handily, by large margins. In those states Hillary was supposed to take, if she did keep them it was by the narrowest of margins. Even with all the naked election fraud, of which much has been written and the empirical evidence keeps stacking up, Hillary could only barely get over the top in almost all of her states. Only in the most insane progressive states did Hillary do well in. The fact the popular vote was so close, with Hillary possibly even edging it out, is a testament to where this nation is, with the mega cities looking for someone to give them tyranny, poverty and arbitrary rule, versus the rural and urban people who seek liberty, prosperity and justice. By every empirical measure, states won, the margin of victory in states won, the margin in states held and lost, the overt vote rigging that took place, by every criterion Trump was elected in a landslide, which is the definition of a mandate.

The American people rejected every policy of the Obama administration and voted loudly to do away with them. Obama’s policies have resulted in stagnation of the US economy, even though it has been bolstered by the twin Keynesian stimuli of zero interest rates, and mind boggling deficit spending. Both of which have only resulted in a hundred trillion dollar bond bubble and Obama running up the deficit more than all other Presidents before him combined! Not a penny of monetized debt has trickled from the hands of the politically favored into the grubby hands of the masses. The world is on fire because of Obama’s policies, Iran has a clear path to nuclear weapons, Europe is teetering under the weight of refugees, people who despise the folks, culture and customs of Europe, like cockroaches forced out of a burning house, a fire Obama and Merkel set. Overt corruption has become the norm under Obama just like under every socialist, the scandals of the Obama administration all have the same thing in common, a disdain for the US constitution, the rule of law and limited government. From the Fast and Furious scandal, which was a broadside against the Second Amendment, to the IRS targeting conservative groups during an election season, which was a naked abuse of power, Obama and Hillary have shown themselves to be the enemies of liberty, prosperity and justice.

Trump’s contract with the American voter is what the American people voted for. Yes we rejected Obama and all his policies, but we voted for something as well, limited government instead of unlimited government (for our own good), justice instead of arbitrary rule (to protect jobs), and free enterprise rather than socialism (in the name of fairness). We voted to get control of our boarders, stop those from coming here, who are coming here to do us harm, to do what is needed to stay a sovereign nation. We voted for a 100 day growth agenda. We voted to take back our great nation from those who seek to sacrifice the United States and limited government at the alter of global government. We voted for a return to Constitutional government, with it’s separations of powers and away from the administrative state with it’s centralizing of all powers.

Just to have surmounted the vote fraud shows how much the American people want change. Change to constitutional government. We want to be rid of Obama care and the tsunami of regulations Obama enacted, most of all, I think people are sick and tired of the obvious corruption. When a politician can get away with multiple obvious felonies, and not even be charged with them, while at the same time citizens are punished severely for far less serious crimes of the same nature, there can be no question arbitrary rule has become the norm. The United States stands at the beginning and the end, will Trump infuriate the media, that calls itself unbiased by following his contract with the American voter, or will he cave and nibble around the edges, like a good little progressive RINO? I pray Trump follows his contract and is the greatest President of all time because of it.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Violence tolerated and Violence not tolerated…

Posted on November 7, 2016 by john

Dear friends,

It seems to me, if Donald Trump doesn’t get a landslide, because that is what it will take to overcome all the vote fraud that is happening, conservatives will fume but will not become violent, although if Hillary Clinton doesn’t have enough fraudulent votes to get her over the top and Trump wins, there will be riots in most of our major cities. Progressives and Marxists have proven over and over again they will gladly use any means at their disposal to push the agenda. There is no bridge a progressive or Marxist will not cross, and then burn, if it takes them closer to their utopia, administrative world government. Conservatives on the other hand are far less idealistic being more pragmatic, understanding that violence at the wrong time will only serve the tyrant’s interests, and so will use the courts, public opinion, calling congresspeople and writing articles. Tyranny needs targets, victims to be exploited to advance the tyrant’s power, and the best targets are people who seek liberty. The ultimate tyranny being that of someone who seeks to change the very nature of humanity for our own good.

Marxists and progressives have never winced at using violence. From the KKK to the NAZI party every progressive organization that could use violence effectively… did. History is unambiguous on that point. The Klu Klux Klan was in fact the democrat party in it’s hay day. A Venn diagram at that time of the two would be a single circle. The NAZI party was the German Progressive party. During the lion of progressivism, Woodrow Wilson administration, the US government rounded up people deemed genetically inferior, and forcibly sterilized them! The famous progressive, FDR rounded up people of Japanese descent and put them in internment camps, little different than a German labor camp. Whenever progressives come into sufficient power, they are more than happy to use violence to reshape the human race, as they see fit.

The Occupy Wall Street movement was uber violent. From the rapes in the camps to the vandalism and assaults, OWS was violent in nature, intent and actions. The Black Lives Matter movement is overtly violent as well. No one sane can argue canting at rallies, “what do we want!” “Dead cops!” “When do we want it?” “NOW!” is not obviously violent rhetoric designed to cause violence. Add to that the very real result of police being ambushed, shot by sniper fire and attacked in other ways by progressives fighting for the BLM movement. When the Tsarnaev brothers bombed the Boston Marathon, that attack, and every terrorist attack, is blamed on conservatives, when it is found to be a Muslim or progressive the news cycle stops. The only conservative attack was by Timothy McVeigh, and unlike any progressive terrorist, like Bill Ayers for example, he has been executed, so it is impossible to question him to understand his real motivation. We only have the word of progressives to rely on.

Remember, progressives are in charge in every Western nation today. Violence by progressives should Clinton loose would be tolerated, as it always is, because that violence can be used to create fear, leading to more laws, which means more power in the hands of progressives to reshape humanity, for our own good. So rioters will be given leeway and even encouraged, their Rights and dignity respected and their freedoms guaranteed. No chess player takes his own pawns off the table. If conservatives were to act up violently however, the gloves would come off, progressives would show their dark nature very quickly. Moreover, the world would applaud the wanton killing of conservative Americans, as righteous retribution for all the evils, progressive Americans have visited on the world.

Governments use full metal jacketed bullets against foreign attackers but use hollow pointed bullets against their own citizens. It is illegal under international law to use chemical weapons against attackers, but not against citizens. Tear gas and pepper spray are non lethal forms of chemical weapons. Don’t think for a moment if conservatives rose up, the US government wouldn’t call in UN troops, to exacerbate the situation. Our 300 million guns wouldn’t stand a chance when the Government carpet bombs small cities that put up resistance, goes house to house searching for “hoarded” food, weapons, ammo, precious metals, basically, anything of value. The rules of engagement would be excessively broad, we wouldn’t be treated like the Viet Cong or Al Qaida, we would be treated worse than German and Japanese soldiers in WWII. We would be shown no mercy.

It took progressives a century to infiltrate our education system, universities, media, law, government and culture sufficiently to have near total control. We have to stop griping and make our feelings known. Stop looking for milk toast in our candidates instead looking for true dyed in the wool constitutionalists, home school our children at least until they have been taught how to think and reason, send our young adults to universities that are conservative and libertarian boycotting progressive universities, write articles and post them on the Internet, make it known to businesses that donating to progressive causes will cost them our business, keep track of how your representatives vote and let them know how you feel, call for government budget cuts then have the backbone to stand up for them, back a voucher system, take back our culture… in short, do what progressives have done, evolve our nation back to our Constitution and away from the administrative state. An administrative state that can only lead to world government. Under world government, progressives and Marxists could breed and brain wash the human race as they see fit, for our own good of course…

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Struggle Between Liberty and Tyranny…

Posted on November 3, 2016 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, all of human history can be described, not as class warfare… but between those that seek tyranny and those that prefer liberty. There have been times when the proletariat have sought liberty, and others where the masses have preferred tyranny, the same holds true of the Bourgeoisie and the elite. Both sides are self serving, those that seek liberty however, serve the needs and wants of all of society, while those who favor tyranny only serve their own narrow self interests. Once we understand that history is actually a struggle between the forces of autocracy and freedom much of human history comes into focus. Allegiances, wars, economic policies, socialism, free enterprise, and every other policy governments have come up with, are merely battles in the greater war between liberty and tyranny. Each seeking to hold mankind in it’s sway forever.

Class conflict is always based on the struggle between liberty and tyranny, the factions may change seats, but the conflict is always the same. The hoi polloi have great power in their numbers but are like a herd of cats, dangerous, sweeping but uncontrolled. The elite are fewer in numbers and have political as well as economic might, but to keep those attributes, the elite must constantly be wary of the people. Most often the people seek liberty but usually live in tyranny, while the elite almost always enjoy liberty but usually seek tyranny. Occasionally, the people have sought tyranny while the elite have hoped for liberty, as in the case of the founding of the US. The people wanted a king but the elite wanted limited government.

If we examine history through the lens of a struggle between tyranny and liberty much of human history is made less opaque. The various wars are obviously a struggle between tyranny and liberty, but other historical events can be described as the struggle as well. Economic policies for example, socialism is all about promoting tyranny while free enterprise is all about forwarding liberty. The French Revolution was ostensibly about restoring liberty to France but resulted in tyranny. How did that happen? Because the people who overthrew the aristocracy and king never had liberty as their goal, the revolutionaries never sought freedom, instead they wanted to be the tyrant themselves. The struggle between liberty and tyranny can be applied to every time and place, while Marx’s dialectic only describes the European feudal state, and then not very well.

With the insight that the struggle between liberty and tyranny gives us we can examine the roles of the various players in human history. We can place them in which faction they go and in doing so we can understand the arc of human history. Like the French Revolution the players usually don’t let their actual positions known, because those positions would undermine their effort to succeed, in establishing tyranny. Robespierre wrote about liberty as a means to fool the people into following his form of tyranny. While those who sought tyranny backed the French revolution, others who understood the struggle wasn’t between classes, castes or other social station, but between those who sought tyranny and those who prefer liberty, like Burke, correctly predicted the outcome. Not based on a supernatural understanding of human nature, but of the fundamental nature of the struggle, and that most of the participants wanted to replace the tyranny of the king, with tyranny of the proletariat.

Those few occasions where and when liberty won, ushered in the heights of human philosophy, science and human heartedness, plus, they have raised the lot of mankind, socially, economically, politically and culturally. The results of the few victories liberty has tasted, show it to be exponentially better for the human race and indeed individuals themselves, than tyranny. Yet the pull of tyranny is uncontrollable for some people. Some might trick themselves into believing they will be benevolent tyrants, others know just what it is they seek, but to them tyranny is a siren call, unavoidable, inevitable and too powerful to resist. The people who prefer tyranny usually understand that liberty is better for humanity but the pull of unlimited power over others cannot be resisted.

If we as a race start to understand that we live in a constant struggle between the forces of tyranny and liberty, we can start to get more liberty, and less tyranny. To do so however requires an understanding that most who claim to stand for liberty actually seek tyranny. The way to tell the difference is to look at the policies they propose. The cause of liberty is never helped by more regulations, more laws or more control, just as tyranny is never promoted by more freedom, more autonomy from the state or limited government. Those that claim their form of “liberty” demands more control of our actions, thoughts and even how we worship, are those who seek tyranny, while people who promote less government, less control, freedom of thought, and religion, are those who fight on the side of liberty. Human history is one long fight between the forces of tyranny and those of liberty, if we want a better life for our children then it is time to take sides, side with liberty.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Meritocracy and Corruptocracy

Posted on October 31, 2016 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, once government corruption has reached such levels the corpus political bursts open revealing all the corruption inside, and the people are not revolted, that is when we have become a “Corruptocracy.” The utterly and openly corrupt in power, ruling by corruption to satisfy their own corrupt wants and pay their corrupt cronies, to keep them in power. A Corruptocracy can exist under any system of government, it’s primary attribute is the widespread acceptance of corruption, and so it is not a system of government but a environmental factor. The environment in which government exists could be meritocracy, (the rule by those who merit it), but those occasions are rare, because there is no incentive for meritocracy to start and meritocracy corrodes itself. When you look at our government, the vote rigging, the double standard, arbitrary application of law, open antipathy for our Constitution and outright corruption, would you characterize our government as a Meritocracy or Corruptocracy?

There is a story about an African king who was under Roman rule. His people hated him, he so abused his people he brought them near to riot, until the Roman governor had to step in and arrest the African king, sending him to Rome for trial. Upon reaching Rome the African king started paying bribes to all the people in power. When his trial came he was immediately acquitted. When he returned to rule his home country he abused his people all the more and was arrested again. The cycle happened several times until the African king, shaking off the dust of Rome from his sandals for the fifth time said, If only one were rich enough the Romans would sell their very city… Rome had become a Corruptocracy. So you see, there have been Corruptocracies throughout human history and under many systems of government.

Think about various ecologic systems for a moment. Some are rife with vegetation, a plethora of plants and an abundance of animals. The well being of which depends on the environmental factors. As a desert gets less rain than a rain forest, an arctic tundra is colder than a jungle and so produce different types of flora and fauna, and verdancy (environmental prosperity), economic environments are different producing different type of enterprises as well as different levels of prosperity. Economies have different levels of taxation, regulation, culture, infrastructure, population, demographics, work ethic, rate of natural disasters, access to sea ports… and corruption. Corruption, especially when it has reached the point where the economic and political systems have become corruptocracies, stifles new growth in favor of old rotten existing growth. It is like sacrificing babies so old people can live longer. Forfeiting vitality for infirmity.

Meritocracy is an economic and political environment where people get what they merit. To put it another way, people get what they deserve, those who are smart, hard working and creative get ahead, generating incentives for everyone to be smart, creative and hard working because that will get them ahead. Unfortunately, the congenital nature of man is evil, the good in us a learned trait, which is why, to put it as Schumpeter did… once someone get to the top the first thing they try to do is close the door behind them. If there is no penalty for it, as in government, the door will be closed creating conditions for corruption to grow and stratifying society into haves and have nots, but if there is a penalty, as in the business world absent of cronyism, or in some military services, excellence becomes the norm. So Meritocracy, while a means for rapid rise in the standard of living, has within it the means and incentive for it’s own destruction.

Corruptocracy is the result of Aristotle’s wrong forms of government, tyranny, oligarchy and democracy, gone too far, and has been with us since time immemorial. Since it is in our nature to become corrupt in the absence of penalty for bad behavior, and the greater the stakes the more the incentive to push the boundaries, there is always a tug towards corruption. Meritocracy, while an excellent environment for economies and government to flourish, has within it the seeds of it’s own destruction. So the question remains, looking at the political and economical landscape which we find ourselves today, our political candidates, the incentives around us, our culture, the media, crime rates, racial harmony, the whittling away of liberty, etc… would you say we live in a Corruptocracy?

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Secrets

Posted on October 27, 2016 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, to argue national defense is sufficient cause for a secret, is to argue suicide is necessary for cancer prevention. After all, there is not one secret the US or any other government has, that is not known by other governments, so in reality, when government classifies something secret, they are merely keeping it from citizens, not foreign governments, so, to claim a thing needs to be secret for national security is absurd. The only people who are unable to know what our governments are doing are the people themselves. Look at the “secrets” wikileaks has released, none of them put a single American in jeopardy, the only things threatened are the elite’s machinations. Snowden’s release of information shows how our government violates our Constitution and that is why he is under indictment. In a limited republic that guarantees liberty for it’s citizens, everything government does would be available for any citizen to see. The only thing that grows in darkness is corruption and we have more than a sufficient supply of that.

If government only did what it is supposed to, protect people and property from those who would abuse or abscond, is the only legitimate role of government…. In other words, the police and army. Other things that can be argued are right roles of government are, printing money, building roads and infrastructure, settling disputes between citizens, setting standards and defining governmental boarders. These other roles however, have often been done by citizens themselves, usually better and cheaper. When government sticks to it’s legitimate role it need not maintain thousands of bureaucrats administering government. The more illegitimate roles government takes up… the more things it decides need to be secret. It is the pervasive and ever growing secret state that is a sign that government has breached it’s banks and is flooding the country with red tape and taxes.

When government takes on clearly illegitimate roles like “helping” American industry, the need for secrets grows. As our government gets in bed with tyrants the need for secrets grows, the more illegal activities our government engages in, the more they need to keep secrets, the more powerful government grows the more need for secrets, the more controlling it becomes the more it needs its secrets and the more government monitors the people the more it needs to hide what it is doing. All from the people, not other governments, who have spies to insure they know all there is to know about our government’s secrets, but the citizens whom the government is supposed to serve live in darkness. So the people government is keeping secrets from are the people themselves.

Why keep secrets from citizens? Because government knows what it is doing is wrong. Instead of protecting people’s Rights, lives and property, government has become the biggest threat to our lives, Rights and property. The modern government has as it’s core philosophy, everything within it’s boundaries are the government’s property, the land, houses, cars, factories, and even the people themselves. That which we are allowed to keep is out of government’s beneficence. This is made clear whenever taxes are brought up. The argument is based on the premise all income belongs to government. When that is your mindset, you have to keep it secret from the people you consider your slaves, else they might get uppity.

Of course there will always need to be spies. They are an arm of the army and as such help government meet it’s core role of protecting the people. The amount of secrets however exceeds mere spy craft by orders of magnitude. Plus, why keep the findings of spies on our enemies, secret? Shaming enemy nations should be a legitimate role of spies. Sadly, governments are far more concerned about spying on their own citizens than on potential invading armies. The need for secrets is a sure sign government is grown beyond it’s legitimate role. Everything government does should be freely available to any citizen that asks for it. The Freedom of Information act is a first step but falls short. Every legislators office should have a camera and microphone installed that stream to the internet, the President’s office should be monitored the same way, judges chambers should be recorded and the recording released to the public the day that judge casts his or her decision. Every trade deal should be open to anyone to see, every regulation should be read by the people, every document created by government using tax dollars should be available to the people who paid those taxes, not one aspect of government should be hidden from the people who government is supposed to serve. The more secrets a government has, the more it needs them, because that government is doing something it is not supposed to.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

When Life is Fantasy, Comeuppance is a Reality.

Posted on October 24, 2016 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, we have, and are, building a world where no one need come in contact with reality at all. Fantasy is an imagined idea. Virtually all of the highest paid professions today are based on fantasy. Lawyers, bureaucrats, university professors, even accountants and business are based on fantasy. The reason I say they are based in fantasy is because they are all founded by ideas, and, (although I detest the term), in A Priori fashion. Therefore, those professions are fantasy, the imagined ideas of those who invented them. Moreover, we are ever further removed from that which keeps us alive. By removed from reality I mean, slaughtering an animal if you want mutton, digging in the ground if you want peas, weaving cloth for your clothes from the thread you wove from flax, starting a fire to stay warm, building a shelter and all the other things that must happen for a human being to live… the reality of life. The farther away from reality one lives the more one lives and works in a fantasy. So, we work in fantasy, live in fantasy, and those who most live in fantasy, are the ones who rule the world.

The law could be anything and it would be called just, indeed it has been radically different in other places and times, and is always called the height of justice by those who practice it, there and then. Meaning, law is only based on ideas, those ideas could be anything, they are therefore fantasies of what the founders believed justice. As in law the ways of structuring a government are as numerous as stars in the sky, all of them ideas of what right government were by their founders, but very few have ever produced the good fruit… of liberty, prosperity and equanimity. Since every form of government is merely an idea, or was one at sometime, they are all fantasies, the imagined ideas of the founders. While they are all fantasies… only a select few are good. The same argument goes for journalism, academics, culture, etc… All these professionals work in a fantasy.

Living in a fantasy is as easy as going to the supermarket to shop, riding down to the Cape on a day trip, turning on a light, reading a book, sleeping in a bed, flying to Paris in spring, turning on the heat on a cold winter night, flushing the toilet, turning on the bathroom fan, watching television, playing golf, riding around the course in a cart, whiling away time on a computer, etc… All of which remove us from the reality of what it takes to physically meet those needs ourselves. The less we understand about what it takes to keep us alive, reality, and the more we mindlessly rely on modernity to meet them, the more we live in fantasy. At the supermarket you can get fruit from across the planet, out of season or grown organically so as to be more in touch with the food. Flushing a toilet is far preferable to the alternative, as is the use of toilet paper, a bidet removes the user even further from the reality of what he or she is doing, enhancing the fantasy.

Living in a fantasy, distant from reality, allows foolish ideas to get merit where, when looked at in the cold light of reality are absurd, a reality most of our leaders are as far from reality as the stars are from us. It isn’t their fault, if everything you live in, work at and spend free time in becomes who you are. Ignorance of reality allows someone to believe things possible that are not, it fosters a holier than thou attitude and living in a fantasy allows one to live in a way impossible, if not for the fantasy world they live in. Sadly, those who are the least in touch with reality are the ones who rule. Bureaucrats, who’s only touch with reality, is when their daughter scrapes her knee and the nanny cleans it up, and reading about it in her report, they are the ones who decide exactly how you and I should do… everything. Lawyers, judges, professors, teachers, journalists, they all work and live in total fantasy. Their lives have no more relation to reality than pulp fiction. Add to that, every day, fewer and fewer people are in touch with reality, or grounded if you will.

Before mathematicians had quantified the physical world people believed in magic. Since they had no idea of what makes a thing fall, that electricity exists, etc… they believed in mystical forces that could be exploited to make the world as they wished it to be. They mixed potions, chanted to various deities and carried all manner of talismans upon them, but to no avail, why, because they were living in a fantasy. Their disconnection from reality created for them, a fantasy, it allowed them to believe the absurd, belief in magic. Their fantasy was based on their ignorance leading to superstition, magic, today the fantasy we live in is based on our ignorance, leading to superstition, progressivism. Only farmers, hunters, people who build things and engineer things, people who have more than a passing knowledge of what it takes to keep a human being alive, are actually grounded in reality. Like a physicist understands why a talisman will not work, a grounded person knows why a policy will not as well. The more our world moves away from reality, I fear the ever greater outcome, because we have become so mesmerized by the fantasy world we live in… is that we as a people will step off a cliff into cultural, societal and economic oblivion.

The Feces of Vote Fraud

Posted on October 20, 2016 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, without the consent of the governed, government is not legitimate. In fact, when the governed do not, or cannot give their consent, that government operates as a tyranny. Since tyranny, whether by dictator, oligarchy or democracy is evil, all forms of tyranny are to be condemned. Condemning an evil is itself a good, while approving of an evil, is itself evil. Therefore, those who undermine the consent of the people, approving of an evil, are themselves evil. Clearly, those who are evil must never be allowed to have power over the people, because to allow such scheming and evil men and women to have power, will certainly visit evil on the people. Since the consent of the people is given through the electoral process, any form of vote fraud or manipulation spoils good government, pollutes the economy and is repulsive to societal cohesion. Vote fraud then is sewage mixed into the political system.

The US Constitution forms a republic. In Nicomachean ethics, Aristotle characterized government as right or wrong forms. The right forms are monarchy, aristocracy and polity, while the wrong forms are tyranny, oligarchy and democracy. (Democracy being the tyranny of the majority over the minority; polity being the universal consent of the people). His ideal form is republican government a blending of the right forms. The wrong forms have in common is that they all seek the best interests of a faction over the good of the whole and the right forms have in common they seek the best interests of the whole rather then a faction. The advantage of a republic is that it suppresses the ability of a faction to serve it’s own interests at cost to the rest. In a republic, there is a monarch, aristocracy and polity. If any of those right forms are undermined, then the utility of a republic is removed and a faction can then serve it’s own narrow self interest at cost to society as a whole.

The historically recognized means in which the people give their consent is by the popular vote. The popular vote then is the polity part of the republican government. Vote fraud, in any of it’s malignant forms, destroys the ability of the people to give their consent. Even in cases where voter fraud doesn’t change the outcome of an election, the consent of the people is not given, because it is impossible to know for certain if the outcome wasn’t perverted by the fraud. Moreover, as a single drop of effluent spoils a whole barrel of water, so does a single drop of fraud spoil the barrel of votes. Vote fraud is even more pernicious than merely spoiling the vote… it gives tyranny the glint of legitimacy.

Like the old adage about the Catholic church, that alter boys are molested by priests turned out to be true, and the catholic church is paying a heavy price for their intransigence, the democratic party is known to engage in widespread vote fraud. It is a thing everyone knows about, laughs about and talks about, but nothing is done to prevent it. Every attempt to stop vote fraud is stymied by the democrat party. Even when evidence becomes widely known nothing is done. As in the case of a New York election official admitting on hidden camera that voters are bused from precinct to precinct, he is fired, but there is no inquiry into the crime. Crime unpunished is crime abetted. In the case of the Catholic church, the crime destroyed the lives of a limited number of boys, but in the case of the democrat party, the crime destroys the liberty, prosperity and violates the trust of everyone.

In this election season our noses are rubbed in the feces of obvious, open and unrepentant vote fraud. The news is full of clear evidence, videos of election officials admitting to it, millions of dead people who have voted for years after their death, a mail in process that is rife with corruption, voting machines unsecured from tampering and political violence to malign a candidate, yet the elite, who benefit from the fraud, refuse to do anything about it. Judges overturn common sense measures to clean up the rolls, the media hides the evidence, politicians vilify anyone who points it out and journalists tell us not to believe our lying eyes, and instead believe the faction that benefits from the vote fraud. All of which makes the consent of the governed impossible to be given. Sadly, everyone knows which faction and party is guilty, so much so it has become a standing joke!

Unless we consent… to living under a tyranny and condemning our children to the slavery of tyranny, we must stand up and demand an end to vote fraud. Vote fraud gives tyranny the appearance of legitimacy, thwarts the consent of the governed, perverts the republic, and empowers a faction. All of which are forms of evil and evil only needs good men to look away to grow. No one would drink from a barrel they knew was contaminated with even a single drop of effluent, but most seem happy to drink deeply from an election system steeped in corruption, the resulting political cholera will never get better… until the system is purged of contamination.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Liars, Propaganda, and Free Speech

Posted on October 17, 2016 by john

 

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, those who peddle lies, cannot abide free speech. The first thing a liar will tell you is how truthful he or she is. Exclaiming from the rooftops how honest and how trustworthy they are. The consummate liar will never admit she lied even when caught in it. Since there is such coercive power in government… liars naturally gravitate to it. Government’s ability to tell a lie and claim it is truth, by fiat and legislation, is very attractive to a liar and is both a means for government, and the liars within it, to amass more power and defend it’s ill gotten rule. One thing that allows a liar to get away with his lies is a willing and complicit media. When there is the convergence of a complicit media and bold faced liars in government, all within the same faction, free speech becomes detestable to them, and is under great threat of extermination.

The single faction that controls all three branches of government, the media, businesses and set our civilizational norms, is the new class. The new class is our modern version of aristocracy. Instead of birthright, yet, the modern aristocracy, new class, is based on education. University professors are the intellectuals of the new class, and lawyers, journalists, doctors, business executives and most politicians are the intelligentsia. The professors, intellectuals, set the agenda and the rest, intelligentsia, bring it about. The new class has wrested the means of production from the bourgeoisie, overwhelmed the culture with their version of reality, undermined our limited government by conniving and warped our culture with perversion. They are mostly progressives who cling to the Frankfurt schools ideology, and apply Herbert Marcuse’s theories how to implement Marxism without the revolution, ie, by hook and by crook. The new class, as a faction, has as it’s main philosophy critical theory, where truth is to be subverted, families are to be destroyed, religion is to be ridiculed and hedonism is to be embraced, as a means to destroy everything western free enterprise has created… all based on lies.

There was a show on NBR, (National Public Radio), called On the Media. On that show the new class overlords of the media, discuss their power to effect culture, society and policy. I used to listen to it. When I listened, the theme of every show invariably was, the media should claim to be unbiased, that even if they are biased they must hide it, to “protect journalism.” In other words, lying to protect their reputations and lies. Have you noticed how the media always claims it is unbiased? How they tell the unvarnished truth and exclaim from the rooftops how honest and righteous they are? All of which, claiming to be unbiased, shouting down their detractors with ad homonym attacks, loudly claiming to be truthful and never admitting when they are caught in a lie, are how liars operate.

Free speech is corrosive to lies. Wherever there is freedom of speech, liars have to compete with truth tellers, for the eyes, ears and minds of the people they are trying to round up and capture. Freedom of speech allows people to dispel the lies. Remember when Dan Rather conjured up a story out of whole cloth describing how George Bush was AWOL constantly during his time in the National Guard? It was a blogger who pointed out the document, Rather and CBS was peddling couldn’t have been typed in a 1967 typewriter, since the font hadn’t been invented until the 1980s. Dan Rather to this day claims he wasn’t lying! The New York Times has been caught so many times creating outright fiction and publishing it as true that it should be considered in the same vein as Arthur C Clark, Henry James and Ernest Hemingway… interesting reading but pure fiction.

Propaganda is government lying to forward a political agenda. Today propaganda has been made legal by the US Congress and signed into law by Obama. In other words, the US government has openly avowed they will lie to us to get us to act against our best interests. The idealized new class President, Barak Obama, shows open loathing for free speech, instead preferring propaganda. Remember Fast and Furious? Obama used naked propaganda to undermine the second amendment… by claiming gun dealers along the US Mexico boarder were supplying weapons to Mexican drug cartels. When he was caught in supplying those weapons himself, the propaganda putsch to outlaw guns along the US Mexico boarder was hushed up, and the lie he peddled was insistently forgotten… proving Machiavelli right. Hillary Clinton has learned well from her husband Bill that lies, no matter how absurd, will be believed if told with a straight face and a tear running down one cheek. Propaganda is a tool of liars and cannot tolerate free speech.

Those who peddle lies shrivel and wither in the light of truth… like a worm on hot pavement. To them, lies are a means to fool the masses into acting against our best interests, and forwarding their diabolical agenda. Happily using the tool of Goebbels, propaganda, to the same ends. One can reliably tell a liar by how loudly and adamantly they claim to be honest. Today the new class, the heirs of national socialism, Marxist ideology, atheistic hedonism and Nietzsche, have as their only real enemy the truth, and they will use deceit at every turn to undermine that enemy. They will do anything to progress the human race to their vision of utopia… a place without the love and nurturing of families, the stark hopelessness of atheism, the emptiness of hedonism and the self absorption of Nietzsche’s super man. All based on lies.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Corruption is the Greatest Threat the Human Race Faces

Posted on October 13, 2016 by john

 

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the greatest threat the human race faces, is corruption in government. That is the wellspring from which all other threats flow. Economic stagnation worry you? That problem is directly caused by government corruption. Terrorism in our streets scare you? That is another issue created by government corruption. Crime, drugs, violence in schools? They all have as their root government corruption. Do you fear your loved one’s might get sick and not have health coverage to provide life saving treatment? Government corruption stands directly in the way of that life saving treatment. In fact, you cannot think of a problem we face as people, that is not because of government corruption. Since government corruption is so destructive of our well being, health and finances, you would think people would vote against those who have shown themselves to be corrupt, sadly, that is not the case.

The case for economic substandard performance as the result of government corruption is pretty obvious. Markets, like environments, function best when competition is free and fair. The less free and fair a market or environment is, the poorer the performance of the inhabitants. In this, government corruption not only warps markets to serve those with political favor, but that very warping creates the conditions where profits come from political machinations, rather than creating products or services people need and want. The more profit moves away from providing value, and toward political favor, the more the corruption feedback loop is strengthened.

How is terrorism fueled by government corruption you might ask? Machiavelli said a corrupt people can never be free, in that where there is violence, average people will give up liberty for security. Of course they are really trading random violence for organized violence. There is no lowering of violence only the marshalling of it for political ends. Violence is a political tool. That is not my theory but Von Clausewitz. He posited that war is the use of violence to achieve a political aim. How is government to create the conditions where people will give up their freedom? By creating violence in society, make everyone feel unsafe in their own homes, create the conditions where going to the mall is fraught with danger, and foment such mind numbing fear that we will happily trade our liberty for slavery. Terrorism is the perfect means. That is why Merkel is importing so many Muslim’s into Europe. She isn’t so stupid she doesn’t know what she is doing. The argument we need more Muslims to prevent terrorist attacks is the same as claiming you need to put a rattlesnake in your bed to prevent snakebite. Terrorism is a means to a political end, both the terrorists know it as do the elite, they just have different political aims.

The scourge of drugs is due entirely to corruption in government. In 1900 all drugs were perfectly legal. You could buy marijuana at the drugstore, opium was available, cocaine was put in soft drinks and laudanum was sold over the counter. Even with the availability of drugs there wasn’t a huge drug problem. That is because people had a stake in society. As Veblen said, people don’t bristle at income inequality, because everyone in American knows he or she could become rich. In other words, people had a stake in society. Corruption in government has taken away that stake in society. Our young people graduate school without hope they ever can get ahead. The ability of the common man to become rich by the sweat of his brow has been eliminated by corrupt government, as is our stake in society. When someone looses hope, the temporary relief from a drug induced haze becomes possible, it seems like the only way to cope.

This year we are looking at electing someone who is obviously corrupt, has used her connections to enrich herself, destroying anyone who stands in her way, lying under oath on multiple occasions and has a public and private position on every question. Her candidacy is a sign of the times. The elite would like to forgo the election process and have set themselves to that task with an epidemic of vote fraud. The number of dead people who will cast ballots cannot be tallied because the elite have so perverted the election process. Illegally cast ballots from non citizens may swing the election, especially in close states and so with so much corruption undermining our democracy, and thereby the very foundation upon government stands, the consent of the people.

People go where our leaders lead us. When the leaders are corrupt, the people will follow their example and become corrupt, when our leaders are virtuous, the people will follow and become virtuous. We can live as virtuously as we want, but in the end, the actions of the elite will always and everywhere be a far more powerful example to our fellows. As I have shown, corruption is the greatest threat we face on planet Earth. Our economic well being, our safety, our children’s future, even our very lives, all are negatively impacted by the epidemic of government corruption sweeping across the globe. This will not be fixed by electing a strongman who will “get them.” The answer is to police the elite. Create an agency within government that has the authority, power and incentive to bring the elite to task. To think the elite will give up their power, privilege and prestige of their own free will, is to believe the Mexican drug cartels will decide they have made enough profit, and turn to charity instead. The vote has been perverted, our economy has been made a slave, there is ever increasing violence on our streets and our children are subjected to a drug culture that is pervasive. It’s past time to put your foot down and demand change…. demand a NUMA!

Sincerely,

John Pepin
