Our Technological Age

Posted on March 28, 2025 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, a common fallacy of our times is that our technological age is inevitable. It’s not. Humanity existed for literally tens of thousands of years and didn’t produce a technological age. Not because people weren’t as smart as us, or as industrious, but their culture and philosophy made it impossible. Rome had superior technology and resources to Middle Ages Europe, yet collapsed in a few centuries, rather than building space ships. Our age is made possible by the confluence of several factors. Christianity, which set the philosophical foundation for free enterprise, limited government, an end to human slavery and the freedoms that contribute to our technological age. So the technological age nor the science we enjoy isn’t inevitable and we aren’t special because of them.

Christianity made the Renaissance, Enlightenment and free enterprise possible. We can deduce this from the fact it didn’t happen under any other system. Christianity offers several innovations to the religious world. While other religions might allow for other people, only Christianity has the combination of the Golden rule, we are created in the image of God, and salvation through the blood of Christ. The golden rule tells us to treat others as we would be treated, which is the foundation for crimes against humanity. Slavery was made unconscionable by the idea that we’re created in the image of God. Moreover, salvation allows us to get up and move forward even after falling. Treating others as equals allows free enterprise, as a lack of slavery means incentive to advance and capitalist jobs.

Free exchange has existed since the first man exchanged a stone tool for some meat. It didn’t turn into free enterprise until Adam Smith made it a philosophy. A new way of looking at the world. Then the Industrial Revolution galvanized it into industrialism… something impossible under the Roman, Mayan or communist systems. The ability to think freely isn’t possible under those systems. Plus the top down organization of those cultures made bottom up innovation impossible. Slavery, (or being a non party member in communist and socialist systems) corrodes the work ethic, and prevents people from being the productive twenty percent in the Pareto distribution. So, while free exchange has always been done, free markets require freedom of thought, speech, action and association.

Limited government is only made possible by Enlightenment philosophical and cultural innovations. Limited government is a necessary prerequisite for scientific, philosophical and cultural advancement. All advancements require thought, and if thought is criminally punished, it will be rare. Even the vaunted ancient Greeks had thought laws. Socrates was put to death for violating them. Which is why, even with the brilliance of some of those men, a technological age was unthinkable. Aristotle wanted to understand the natural world, but he lacked the scientific method, so his ability to understand it was hobbled. It was only after the Enlightenment and the scientific method, that was made possible by the Renaissance and Christianity, that capitalism allowed a technological age to develop.

This leads us to the idea that the fallacy of our age, is that our age is inevitable. Had it not been for Christ, and the chain of events that followed his death and resurrection, we would still be riding horses, dying of smallpox and sewing with thorns. Because without the philosophical innovation that was Christianity, and its compression, mankind simply would not have had the philosophical or cultural foundation to build upon. Which leads us to the final point… if we lose the philosophy that allows our technological age, that technology will vanish. Because technology can only be maintained and advanced where people are allowed to think, innovate and be free of the elite’s judging eyes. If we want to keep our technological age, then it’s up to us to defend those things that allow it to exist.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Dear Friends,

 

For journalism that’s the color of pee,

With a point of view for you and me,

Selectively judgmental,

And quite temperamental,

You can always count on the BBC.

 

The corruptocrat regime will pay its penance,

And the people will have their vengeance,

Actions do tell,

Like ringing a bell,

That the deep state’s corrupt to it’s very essence.

 

USAID needs no oversight nor introspection,

Progressive confession through projection,

Money is power,

In an ivory tower,

So they get us to fund our own oppression.

 

Democrats are terrified of an unelected government,

With vehemence anger and lacking good judgment,

The bureaucracy’s just fine,

Democrats say it all the time,

Meaning DOGE is a threat to the unelected establishment.

 

Self awareness is a life promoting hack.

Self righting benefits carried in a sack.

The elite not so much,

They’re out of touch,

Because self awareness is a quality the elite clearly lack.

 

Sincerely,

John Pepin

2025 Elections in Canada

Posted on March 26, 2025 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, with the upcoming Canadian election, Canadians need to consider the future of their nation. There are really only two options offered. One is to become a 1984 style despotic state, where the people are guinea pigs for the elite’s experiments. The other is a possible return to limited, responsive and virtuous government. Pierre Poilievre is the only candidate advocating for limited government and free markets, plus he’s a patriot… the rest are WEF penetrators. They’re traitors, intent on accelerating Canada’s fall to the totalitarian globalist oligarchs. Sadly, there are no free market advocates among that crew, only unlimited government types. They’re banking on the courtesy culture in Canada, and Canadian’s deferment to the State in all things, to keep Poilievre out.

One way to tell if a nation is captured by an idea is if they continue following it even after it’s been proven a failure. The Canadian socialist healthcare system is just such a failure. Waiting lists, suicide assistance, and the political favor that’s required to get good service, characterize all single payer systems, and Canada’s is no exception. While the doctors themselves in many cases are exceptional, any top down system will be one where bureaucrats decide what medicine can be practiced… not doctors. During the Covid swindle, Canadians suffered the worst of it. The government went to extremes that boggle the mind, like locking children in their rooms while they cry for affection, as part of Trudeau’s draconian lock down restrictions.

Canada is a nation rich in natural resources. From timber to rare earth elements, Canada has it all. If only the government allowed access to it. Most people think the stranglehold is “just” in Alberta, with the oil resources, but they would be wrong. The choke hold Ottawa has over resource extraction is a garrote. In Quebec, there are proven extractable rare earth minerals, but the government has made getting them uneconomic. Even timber is both restricted and subsidized. Moreover, Canada could pay its health care costs by selling water to the US and across the world, but refuses to. All these restrictions cost jobs. Plus, the taxes required for the subsidies to offset the regulations further lowers the worker’s standard of living. Which is why Canada needs to parasitize off the US with tariffs.

People who feel they need the government to do for them aren’t mature self-actuating agents, they’re children in adult bodies. Dependency isn’t an organic mindset for a grown man or woman. It’s an artifact of the culture. Moreover, the culture is the aggregate effect of the cultural leaders leading by example. There is of course Edward Bernays’ propaganda that moves the minds of the masses, which is very effective. Especially since the propaganda is pumped into Canadian’s homes every night by the state funded CBC. In the western provinces like Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nunavut, the NW territories and the Yukon, there’s a strong independent ethos. Because in such places one dies without it. Their sparse population however limits their political power. Canada is ruled by the cities.

Canada has to decide what the people want to bequeath to their children and grandchildren. Right now the future looks like the next generation of Canadians will be Winston in Orwell’s 1984. The biggest obstacle to Canadian success, is the culture of dependency and the tendency of deferring to the state. These cultural attitudes make many Canadians think they need the state to do for them. Giving up their agency to the almighty experts. Experts who have nearly unlimited power to limit Canadians. Suppressing the vast wealth that’s right under their feet, all around them and in their own hands. Canada could have twice the real GDP per person of the US, were it not for their unlimited globalist government. When offered shackles, it’s best not to put them on, even out of courtesy.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Dear Friends,

 

The Swedish government has taken a side,

Truth fairness and justice it will not abide,

The live stream wasn’t admissible,

Because the victim was invisible,

And the Christians there better now run and hide.

 

If they were smart the Europeans would say,

Our countries are too dangerous for you to stay,

With crime on the street,

And stabbings replete,

Migrants are safer at home than in the EU today.

 

A gleeful manipulator is their man Keir,

As the conservatives failed out of fear,

They’re a political curse,

No one could do worse,

So Labour turned and said hold my beer.

 

Forcing political self disclosure is progressive,

While work is self alienating and repressive,

Are you woke,

A female bloke,

Or are you someone not politically obsessive?

 

The guns of war will never cease,

When there is hatred and caprice,

Immorality sublime,

Remember this line,

It takes one for war and two for peace,

 

Sincerely,

Dear Friends,

 

The US is a Kritarchy in all but name,

The judiciary now runs the whole game,

Rule from the bench,

Now be a mensch,

And please step quickly into this flame.

 

Some judges are a mere political hack,

The law and Constitution they attack,

Conniving and pervert,

Epstein isle alert,

Paid by the CCP to stab us in the back.

 

The power of the courts has soared.

Now that our Constitution is ignored,

The courts have mange,

So nothing will change,

Because SCOTUS is all onboard.

 

There once was a SCOTUS with ethics of vapor,

Thinking they’ve pulled off quite the caper,

Usurping the executive’s power,

Growing in scope by the hour,

As they used our Constitution like toilet paper.

 

The courts must have honesty that never budges,

It’s pure corruption for a court to hold grudges,

It makes them degenerative,

Contact your representative,

And demand impeachments for these rogue judges.

 

Sincerely,

Young People’s Work Ethic

Posted on March 23, 2025 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, many young people today are literally incapable of working. Not because of an innate defect in them, but at great cost to the taxpayer, they’ve been trained to be ineffectual. My experience of young men today is that they are willing, but are too fragile, unskilled and afraid to be handy. This is why many employers today shudder at cutting off illegal aliens. They claim they can’t hire Americans to work. Young people in the US and I suspect Europe as well, have been hobbled by culture, the education system and their leaders. The education system doesn’t teach reading, writing, math, history and critical thinking. Instead it indoctrinates a political ideology of indolence, the culture is corrosive of maturity as our leaders set an example of ineptitude and corruption.

The public education system in the US for decades, has been geared to graduating people who know everything about gender studies, but nothing whatsoever meaningful about history. Not one high school graduate I have ever spoken to has known about Mao’s famines during the Great Leap Forward, Stalin’s Ukrainian famine, or even Pol Pot’s Killing Fields. They know about Antebellum slavery but nothing about the broader history of slavery. So young people fall into the same traps people have for centuries… traps which are clearly avoidable, if only our education system taught about them. These traps create a mindset of entitlement. They think communism only delivers equality. Having no concept of the reality of it. So there’s no need to work. As if the roof can support the foundation.

Our culture is corrosive of maturity. The immature, fragile and quick to violence are our cultural icons today. Gang members epitomize the ideals of young men. Why would I say this? Look at how they dress. What are the ethics of a gang member? The same as any mafia, rent seeking as a way of life. Which means lying, cheating and stealing. Whether they understand this consciously, they incorporate this mentality unconsciously. I know employers who have told me, American kids today fly into a rage at the least provocation, break things and quit. Adding that most don’t make it past day one. Which is what one would expect of people who’ve been inculcated into the gang mindset. Whether or not they realize it themselves. It’s hard to mature someone who’s been taught to be an eternal child.

Our elites lead by example, and their example is corruption, luxury and egoism. The nature of an ivory tower is that it resonates. It’s an echo chamber. So people who live in one all think alike. The most absurd ideas get amplified in the echo chamber, drowning out any objections from the crowd below. Which means that elites become more insane the taller and more closed their ivory tower. Young people who look up see judges who pervert the law, politicians who get rich through insider trading, doctors who make people sick instead of well, and actors bed hopping. Meanwhile, they’re steered away from examples of hard working people who have families, lives and careers. Moreover, achievement through merit is vilified. With examples such as these, how could kids follow the elite to prosperity?

Young people have some responsibility themselves though. True, they’ve been carefully taught to be inept, at great taxpayer expense, but we all have within us the ability to grow, mature and learn. Those who’ve been hobbled by the public education system and our corrosive culture and who have followed our corrupt leaders, can become skilled, hard working and ethical. Eliminating the “need” for unlimited illegal immigration. We can change this paradigm. Push for education vouchers, read Horatio Alger stories to kids, turn off the culture, limit access to corrupting influences, and lead by example. Show young people what hard, skilled and entrepreneurial work accomplishes so they want to emulate and do it themselves. We all have a responsibility to fix this situation. So roll up your sleeves…

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Dear Friends,

 

Judge Roberts is in the sack,

An anti American elitist hack,

Justice makes him pout,

He’s worn his arm out,

By stabbing America in the back.

 

While a democrat would jail me for the wrong opinion,

On jailing gang bangers they have a different position,

Those kids must be defended,

Even as the elite pretended,

That double standards aren’t a tool of their corrupt dominion.

 

The faction of hypocrisy is hell bent,

With wrath ire and malicious intent,

They go and lie,

About a good guy,

To keep their power and seeking rent.

 

Their rhetoric is truly impressive,

With taxes and policies regressive,

The orders are ample,

Don’t lead by example,

Because hypocrisy is a sacrament to a progressive.

 

Working in the dark not seeking fame,

For liberty and justice the FBI came,

A corrupt minority,

Abusing authority,

And proving to us all that law is but a game.

 

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Outsmarting The Plain Wording Of Our Constitution

Posted on March 21, 2025 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the role of our modern courts, is to outsmart the plain wording of our Constitution. Calling naked despotism “constitutional.” Early Twentieth Century progressives created this innovation. Take Buck v Bell, which was cited a multitude of times as legal justification under US law… during the Nuremberg Nazi trials of crimes against humanity. One thing I’ve noticed, when a court is outsmarting the plain wording of our Constitution, they argue below the level of the question. Is what she did legal, then the courts outsmart the law by ruling she was innocent, because of political favor. This trend has accelerated, now our courts couldn’t care less about the plain wording of our Constitution, precedent or the law. They rule the nation from the bench with the deep state as partner.

Examples abound of SCOTUS outsmarting the plain wording of our Constitution. Korematsu gave FDR unlimited power to incarcerate American citizens without charge, trial or crime. A power, that if precedent is to be followed, still exists. Yet the courts have denied Trump even the authority to deport criminal illegal aliens. Let alone lock up American citizens by fiat. In this case, the courts outsmarted the plain wording of our Constitution then, and today are ignoring their own precedent, due to political favor. Wickard v Filburn expanded the Interstate Commerce Clause to give the federal government unlimited power to regulate. Which resulted in an unelected administrative state that has supplanted our Constitutional government. That’s the definition of outsmarting the plain wording of our Constitution!

The Fourth Amendment is utterly null and void with the innovation of income tax. With it, and the Constitutional amendment that allowed it, our right to privacy in our persons and papers was revoked. Today you and I stand naked before an almighty government. We’re now even required to self report. US courts have ruled, with a straight face, that you or I can be imaged in our homes through our own webcams, yet a police officer in public has a right to privacy. If we withdraw over six hundred dollars from the bank, the bank is required to report it to the government. This is a default regulation. Could anything be a more direct violation of the plain wording of the Fourth Amendment? You have to hand it to them, they have truly outsmarted the plain wording of our Constitution!

Today, our courts don’t address the actual legal questions, but political ones. Trump claims Biden’s pardons are illegal, since Biden wasn’t the one who issued them, but rather someone else did. Which means the question is, who has the power of the pardon? The elected President only, anyone in the executive with the autopen, or can the elected President delegate that authority? Instead, mark my words, the question will rotate on, what would Biden have wanted? Sidestepping the real question and addressing one that’s irrelevant. Though one that can sustain a narrative for the mockingbird media to run with. “Of course Biden would have wanted his family, Fauci and the rest pardoned!” will be the narrative. Expanding pardon power to anyone in the Executive Branch with an autopen.

All of which boils down to, our courts have taken up the dirty job of outsmarting the plain wording of our Constitution. United and dedicated to the effort, they’ve obliterated their reputation, destroyed the people’s faith in law, and perverted the law to political ends. Thrasymachus would be proud of them. Almost every ruling expanding the power of the unelected deep state, at the expense of Constitutional government, our courts prove their worth to the usurpers every day. Indeed, if not for the diligent efforts of our courts outsmarting the plain wording of our constitution, we might have a limited government! Heavens to Betsy! Though, some might think that the right role of the courts is to protect and defend our Constitution… the racist jingoistic hatemongers.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Dear Friends,

 

Beware take care the temperature’s going to the sky,

No breaking scandals whistleblowers have all gone dry,

Follow chicken little,

Dancing to his fiddle,

But remember if the IPCC says it, it’s probably a lie.

 

Evil walks among us in a blue surgical gown,

Seeking victims to build upon world renown,

Heartless and vain,

While quite insane,

Ruining children so they wear a permanent frown.

 

There once was a politician named Mitch,

A lifetime serving Satan was his hitch,

Vacant eyed,

Hid and lied,

And says that stabbing pain in our back is just an itch.

 

What’s done with a pen can be undone by one too,

Constitutions are self servingly enforced by the few,

Regulation and guards,

But laws are like cards,

When piled too high they collapse and strew.

 

Leftists want government to do more,

Saying profligate spending helps the poor,

Idealist all,

Filled with gall,

And certain that the roof can support the floor.

 

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Roberts Judicial Usurpations

Posted on March 19, 2025 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, with a Supreme Court as corrupt as the US is, you don’t need enemies. It’s hard to fathom the end game for Roberts and SCOTUS in this open and notorious violation of Constitutional Separation of Powers? It’s unlikely that SCOTUS will exist as a functional body in short order, should this abuse of power continue. Because if they win and nullify our Constitution, their authority will be nullified as well. SCOTUS and the progressives have replaced our Constitutional three Branches with an unelected administrative state. The bureaucracy. By dribs and drabs SCOTUS has installed an ersatz government over and above our Constitutional one. Now that an elected Executive threatens it, they have to step in to protect their Frankenstein monster. Besmirching SCOTUS’ reputation in the effort.

In Federalist Papers # 10, Madison, Faction; Madison warned that if any two branches of government get monopolized by a single faction, tyranny will be the result. The Roberts led SCOTUS has proven it’s captured by the progressive faction. With all but three judges captured by that ideology. Blinding them to criticism, precedent and logic. The Judiciary is now useless at its job. Like a car engine with all its spark plugs broken, the carburetor full of dirt and the only thing operating is the crank. Roberts and all the other progressive judges think they’ve outsmarted the plain wording of our Constitution, believe they’ve won. The unlimited administrative state they so adore is nearly at hand. All they need do now is capture the Executive and Legislative branches by legalizing voting by illegal aliens.

In Federalist Papers # 51 Madison, Separation of Powers; In it Madison warned against concentrated power. Today SCOTUS has concentrated power in its hands, out of ambition, hubris and breach of trust. Installing itself and an administrative state above the Constitutional government. Judges today must be angels, given their unlimited power to overrule the Executive in his Constitutionally delegated authority. There are no rival motives in the Judiciary anymore. Being united in their usurpation. So SCOTUS rides roughshod over the other Branches. Making the erstwhile weakest Branch the strongest. By exploiting our civility. Though our patience is ending. Why respect a SCOTUS that doesn’t respect our Constitution? The document that gives it authority. Roberts is ruining the reputation of SCOTUS.

In the past SCOTUS has made some pretty horrible decisions. Rulings that violated human rights, our constitution and their own stated ethics. Decisions like, Korematsu, Wickard v Filburn, and Buck v Bell, were legal atrocities. But far from remedying those blatant breaches of trust, SCOTUS under Roberts has doubled down. Allowing rogue judges their heads as they stampede over our Constitution. There are maybe two judges on SCOTUS today who feel any responsibility to follow Constitutional law. The rest of the Judges are zealous partisans who agree on one thing only, that our Constitution is an outdated document. They prefer the South African constitution to the one the US Founding Fathers created. So said Justice Ginsburg as well as a multitude of other judges.

Possibly, Roberts thinks he can rein in the administrative state he has empowered, after the threat of Trump has been neutralized. Which, you have to admit, is conniving at its most malevolent. Abusing his position to hinder the elected Executive from doing the will of the American people. As illustrated in Trump’s landslide election. Roberts and his fellow partisans are standing fast against moving power from the administrative state back to the people and the elected Branches. In doing so he is besmirching the reputation of not only SCOTUS but the idea of an independent Judicial Branch. Because if one can become this corrupt, why have one at all? Maybe it’s simply the logical outcome of an unlimited Branch of government? Nevertheless, James Madison would have a lot to say about Roberts’ SCOTUS.

Sincerely,

John Pepin
