The Political Con of Censorship

Posted on October 8, 2025 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, if you want to know what cons they are playing on you… all you need do is look at what you are not allowed to talk about. If talking about a subject in a negative way gets you canceled… it’s a swindle. People don’t put much effort into silencing someone else unless there’s profit in it. In fact, people are too lazy to censor another without a motive. Plus, why would someone care enough to cancel another over some random topic? Where would the anger come from? The angry person must be losing money, status, or power. Losing such things will trigger rage and wrath. Think of it this way, if someone says something foolish, how adamant are you that they be corrected? How much money, reputation, and effort will you put into correcting them? Not much, I’ll wager.

When someone is willing to spend lots of money to defend a position, that means more money is at stake. Every time someone spends money, it’s an investment. Charity is an investment in a place in heaven, the means of production are an investment in future earnings, and money spent on silencing others is an investment in power. Censorship isn’t cheap. Though the voice controllers have plenty of money themselves, they always use taxpayer money to fund their anti-American campaigns. That way they spend our money to pay for our own censorship. A scheme as elegant as it is evil. This brings up another reason censors silence others… to maintain the flow of money from the government coffers into their pockets. Censorship runs risks though.

Censors run the constant risk of being exposed as liars, and so are at perpetual reputational risk. An example is when they silenced people for saying Covid came from the Wuhan lab and not a pangolin shopping at a supermarket. That lie cost them reputational damage. When the narrative nannies exclaimed the Biden laptop was Russian disinformation, they knew they would eventually be discovered as liars… but the immediate profit at the time made the future cost worth it. Many bureaucrats lied before Congress about the Russian collusion hoax. Meanwhile, other than reputational damage, which can be cleaned up by copious propaganda, there have been no consequences for them. This shows us that for those who lie and censor, there is only profit from the investment in censorship.

Human effort is at a premium in all times and all places. The slave was motivated by the lash, the worker by wages, and the entrepreneur by profit… but what of the zealot who shouts you down, threatens violence, and gets emotional? She is motivated by power. So she has the power to order us to act to improve her lot at the cost to our self interest. The zealot is also pushed by the propaganda she is immersed in. The true progressive foot soldier has no clue what they fight for or what they stand against. All they know are slogans and blind hate. These are enough to keep simps in the front lines, but normies have to be carefully controlled or else they could think for themselves. That is very dangerous to the censors because it undermines the swindle.

A con man is quick-witted, aware, and cagey, while bureaucrats are heavy-handed, ignorant, and dim-witted. That’s why their scams require censorship, propaganda, and ostracism. Gobs of taxpayer cash grease their wheels. They are backed by zealots who believe absurdity and so are willing to commit atrocities, and there are no consequences for any of them. Proving law serves the powerful at the cost to the weak. So… what are we not allowed to talk about? The fact progressivism is fascist in every way is verboten. Exposing the open calls for genocide against the Jews is another forbidden subject. Then there’s the idea that some are sacrosanct, such that any criticism gets one canceled… like a rodeo clown. So if they don’t want us talking about something… that’s all we should talk about.

Sincerely,
John Pepin

Dear Friends,

Attack attack attack,
The politician is in the sack,
Calling us deplorable,
Her schemes adorable,
And with a slur she has the knack.

Progressive ideas on power are backward,
While constitutionalists remain unheard,
An answer is due,
It all boils down to,
Is the President a sovereign or a steward.

The fleecing of America goes on apace,
Dancing prancing and it’s in our face,
Renter nation,
Insane inflation,
Because the hobbled can’t win the rat race.

The elite don’t want us acting up or making a fuss,
As Thrasymachus says, to the back of the bus,
Justice expedient,
The final ingredient,
Is to pervert and turn our own morality against us.

Politicians are people ____ _____,
Making hard decisions ____ _____,
The best honey _____,
Down on your ______,
Mind your manners and do as we _______.

Sincerely,
John Pepin

Why Government Becomes Corrupt

Posted on October 5, 2025 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, there’s a natural force of government leading it to despotism and corruption, like a prion twists proteins into bent versions of itself, incapable of being useful. Once met the disease is inescapable. That conversion to corruption and despotism can’t be shielded, hidden from, or protected against. The source of this disease is the human soul. Historically, all governments have become corrupt then collapsed… but here I’ll concentrate on incentives and the Logic of Collective Action. We are who and what we are. Our abilities to coordinate effort is astonishing as is our ability to innovate our way out of trouble. Using our brains instead of claw has granted us hegemony on the planet, but it came at a cost. That cost is perpetually corrupt and despotic government.

People who seek power want to use it, while people who don’t want to wield power over others don’t seek it. Why? Because accessing political power is a difficult process. One must work diligently to mask oneself and instead project an image on the cave wall of perfection. Hypocrisy is a sacrament to politicians as well as are egoism and narcissism. Those then who think they are smarter, wiser, and better people… with ideas how to rightly marshal the world, work to get power. Obviously, limited government is ill suited to rewrite human civilization, that requires an all powerful government. So they set themselves to empowering government. In order to do that though, they need money and backers. That’s where cronies and rent seekers come in.

Power is magnetic to rent seekers, who pump some of their grift back into the system to corrupt it further, by increasing the power of corrupt politicians. Corrupt politicians then feed money into the pockets of the grifters like NGOs, creating a virtuous cycle of corruption. Grift leads to kickbacks, empowering the corrupt politicians over the honest ones, giving them more power to hand out contracts… and the cycle starts anew. This cycle once started is impossible to rein in. Regulators get captured by the cushy jobs waiting for bureaucrats after they retire with 80% pensions. Universities become bastions of the corrupt faction, then produce judges who are pawls to corruption. Even as anyone who points at the corruption is destroyed by the system, to protect itself.

The combination of rent seekers plowing money into corrupting the system and would be despots always seeking power must lead to despotic and corrupt government. The outcome is inescapable. Now, I’m not arguing that just because every government that has ever existed in the written record has collapsed from internal corruption, long before a foreign invader toppled it, I’m saying that all governments no matter what… will collapse due to the incentives to corruption. People unlikely to be corrupted don’t seek office… while the purchasable are drawn to it like moths to light. Even if a saint gets power, the stench pervades… because swimming in a cesspool leaves an odor. Brilliant people throughout the ages have considered ways to stifle this long known predilection of mankind.

Solon instituted democracy and the ostracism to protect liberty but Pericles used those very tools to make himself despot. The Romans had a dual Consular system, that was perverted by Marius and Sulla, then destroyed by Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus. Constitutions were the Enlightenment’s way of limiting power… and the courts have perverted those protections into progressivism. This means that no matter how well constituted, and with robust protections against tyranny… every government will become despotic and corrupt. Because power itself is like a prion disease. It converts the good into the bad upon contact. So I have to ask… how many prions do you want in your soup? Because that’s what government is, a prion, that makes more of itself until the system fails.

Sincerely,
John Pepin

The despot behind the curtain,
With disaster he’s a flirt’n,
Tone he can’t hear,
With his tin ear,
And so his end is becoming certain.

Abusing our Rights under color of law,
Villains without ethics but plenty of claw,
Fabricate evidence,
Without consequence,
They deserve to be in prison one and all.

Anthropogenic Climate Change, Pseudo Science or Science?

Posted on October 3, 2025 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, anthropogenic climate change is the definition of pseudo science. The way science works is someone makes a hypothesis. Based on that hypothesis predictions are made. Then experiments or observations are done to see if reality meets prediction. If the prediction comes true the hypothesis becomes a theory. The more predictive a theory and the more unfalsifiable… the more true it’s said to be. Alternatively, the more times a hypothesis is wrong in its predictions, the less it’s science and the more it becomes something else. Pseudo science is often defined as a belief that appears scientific but collapses under the weight of scrutiny. Pseudo science doesn’t make falsifiable predictions. It’s a belief. So, based on these criteria… let’s examine anthropogenic climate change.

Anthropogenic simply means caused by mankind. What they mean to say then is that climate change, warming or cooling, is primarily caused by human action on the planet. Adding carbon dioxide to the air causes the planet to retain heat like a greenhouse or so they say. But regardless if the planet warms as they predicted before, or cools, it’s because of mankind’s actions. Maybe as we burn fossil fuels, the air column gets higher because of the added volume of gas, so the pressure at sea level increases. Basic physics states that an increase in pressure increases heat. That’s how the diesel engine works. This is obviously a pseudo science theory, that an increase in air column increases air pressure, leading to an increase in heat. Just like the idea that an increase in greenhouse gas…

Falsifiability is the cornerstone of any real scientific theory. Indeed a true scientist seeks ways to falsify his or her theories… as a way to prove them. The way it works is someone comes up with an idea. They flesh out the idea into a hypothesis. That hypothesis generates predictions. Those predictions are tested. If they fail to hold up the hypothesis is falsified. If they hold the hypothesis becomes a theory. Those in the camp who say man is causing climate change have made predictions, many of them, and not one has come true. This falsifies the anthropogenic climate change hypothesis. Since any hypothesis that failed in experimentation is falsified. Once adherents cling to it anyway, the hypothesis becomes pseudo science… not actual science, no matter how many people are forced to believe.

Climate change is a paradigm because it’s politically enforced. Those who stray outside the velvet ropes are fired. Moreover, additional falsifying evidence of their religion or pseudo science is forbidden. Why do I say this? Because the censorship around climate change is so heavy. Meanwhile the authoritative body on the subject, the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been caught in lies, manipulating data, and covering it all up. Even as anyone with authority on the subject is threatened with ostracism for speaking up. Religions guard orthodoxy, science seeks to break it. By trying to break it, they prove it, or move on to a more functional theory. This then is another example of how anthropogenic climate change is a pseudo science or religion not a real science.

So, anthropogenic climate change has made predictions that didn’t come true, it’s enforced by consensus and ostracism instead of rigorous debate, which isn’t allowed. These are qualities of a pseudo science… not real science. When Einstein introduced relativity to add to Newton’s laws, he had tried himself to falsify his hypothesis, and welcomed counter arguments. Meanwhile, anyone challenging the climate change narrative loses their job. Even if they are in a position of influence. That’s not done out of confidence in one’s logic but out of fear of being exposed as a fraud. Those telling the truth have no need of numbers on their side, the truth itself is sufficient. But liars always need numbers to bolster the lie. That’s why they claim consensus… of authorities in other fields.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Dear Friends,

An ungrateful bunch are we,
So thank the Lord all three,
The gifts overwhelm,
Even in Satan’s realm,
And I don’t thank him enough I guarantee.

An atheist once avowed himself wise,
With crossed fingers and blurry eyes,
Depressed and gruff,
He said in a huff,
If there’s a God then I’m quite the prize.

The welfare state is a safety net,
But open migration’s a risky bet,
A magnetic draw,
An existential flaw,
And indigent migrants are what you’ll get.

Promises in elections are expediently wed,
A lack of ethics with cronies in bed,
Let ’em fly,
That’s why,
It’s best to buy a congressman instead.

There once was an ethical _______,
Ideas and promises ____ ____ ____,
But reality _______,
And _____ ______,
So his ethics went ___ ____ ____ _____.

The Appeal Of Central Planning

Posted on October 1, 2025 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the draw of Marxism to a psychopath is that it’s a means to do the worst things for the best of intentions, to an empath it feels like true equality, to an intellectual central planning is ego empowering, and to a despot it’s a path to absolute tyranny. So it pulls such people in like a magnet draws iron filings. To them it becomes a religion. Marxism and it’s associated ideologies, progressivism, fascism, and socialism, are totalizing. They have at their core an idea that the world, the nation, or the State is best run if centrally planned. This gives a permission slip to the psychopath for violence, feeds the academic’s ego, feels righteous to the empath, and is cocaine to the would be despot. This is why central planning is so attractive to so many people.

In their religion of the centrally planned state they demand heretics be burned at the stake. Because to a true zealot there is no atrocity that’s not justified by their ideology. They consider themselves the smartest, wisest, and dog gone it… the best most moral people too. Anyone not in the club then are sub-humans to be destroyed, or else they could pollute other people’s minds with their disinformation. So violence is inevitably called for. Once censorship has failed to keep the hoi polloi in line. Just as a pastor is careful to control what bibles come into their church, central planners keep close watch on the words and thoughts of the people they would tyrannize. Religions are totalizing, they demand our attention, our devotion, and control our actions.

In any totalizing philosophy contradiction must exist alongside ostracism for noticing it. This serves two purposes, one is to cut out non zealots, the other is to maintain unanimity of thought. The more the ideology is purified through ostracism the more zealous will be those who are left. In such systems of societal arrangement, who needs pacifists anyway? The revolution calls for fighters. Moreover, devotion to the centrally planned ideology, regardless of the flavor of the month, is paramount. So the psychopaths, zealots, and would be despots who are drawn inexorably to central planned systems, cam maintain their cohesiveness. Knowing that a small dedicated minority willing to do whatever it takes can take over whole nations. Because it’s been done before.

The fact central planning has never worked to improve the lot of anyone, but the despotic class, it has worked very well as an aid to a despotic class getting power. Simply because empaths are converted to zealots and psychopaths become soldiers in a cause. During the Troubles in Northern Ireland, those involved with the IRA were the same cut of man who robs banks… you know, like Stalin. At least I was told that by an Irishman, who lived through the times. Violent factions are attractive to violent people, and there’s no faction more violent than those dedicated to imposing central planning on the world. The sad thing is, those empaths turned zealots will be crushed underfoot the moment they win. Useful idiots are only useful until power is gained… then they become dangerous.

Those who love central planning are the same people no matter if they call themselves communist, socialist, or fascist. Central planning is their core belief and everything else hangs off that. It’s a religion to them. A religion that mutates empathic people into monstrous zealots, capable of anything… by focusing their empathy on the absurd. Led by would be despots cheering for revolution, as they keep a knife to the backs of their erstwhile allies. People willing to do violence to force their views on others don’t balk at a few lies. So while the leaders know, there’s no utopia at the end of the river of blood, there is power for them. Until they feel a knife penetrate their kidney. Because central planning appeals to the worst kind of people, and makes the worst kind of people out of some of the best.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Dear Friends,

The payola press is a joke,
Still dazed by the last toke,
Lie at a fast rate,
Then self immolate,
So sit back and watch with a smoke.

The blind can’t see the signs,
Thinking they have open minds,
Broke another seal,
So how do we deal,
With the people of the End Times.

The siren call of power is unstoppable,
To stop evil and punish the corruptible,
But swimming in a sewer,
Doesn’t make one smell newer,
It saturates you with corruption palpable.

Marcuse from a Bacon’s cave did look,
At a speck of life that he did forsook,
The evil consumer,
A Baby Boomer,
And it’s the best of life from us he took.

There once was an ideologically captured ______,
Making posters rioting with _____ ______,
Saying with a ________,
I’m smart as a _________,
And set fire to _______ _______ ________.

Dear Friends,

Ghislaine Maxwell’s testimony will incur,
The vicious wrath of the elites in fur,
A noble task,
But I have to ask,
Where can I buy life insurance on her?

Our own government is in the sack,
Abusing girls with flair and knack,
An island gin fizz,
What concerns me is,
How many never made it back?

Back in the day Lenny Bruce was too much,
It’s acceptable today profanity filth and such,
But comedy’s lost its verve,
Censors are a raw nerve,
So modern comedy is utterly out of touch.

If you wonder why the news is a mess,
Hiding reality behind a green dress,
Kinda ghoulish,
It’s pretty foolish,
To expect truth from a payola press.

There once was a culture that had ____ ____,
Falling from grace like a _____ _____,
Who runs the ________,

The elite drive the car with _______ _____.

The Unreliable Press

Posted on September 28, 2025 by john

Dear Friends,

I find it utterly galling that the New York Times NYT is still considered authoritative and the New York Post NYP isn’t. The NYT filed a dismissal in a court case against Project Veritas, arguing they couldn’t be held libel for lies in their news section because everyone knows it’s just opinion. The judge ignored the argument since the NYT had backed up the story citing another source… that cited the NYT story. Circular citing is a sure sign of a news outlet that takes its opinion seriously. That incident in and of itself is damning of the NYT. How can any rational person who knows that take them seriously ever again? Meanwhile the NYP broke dozens of stories the NYT and other payola press outlets had to play catch up… years later. Further discrediting them.

The Biden Laptop was a hell of a story to spike… yet that’s exactly what the Mockingbird Media did. They spiked it. The NYP out of all of them was the only actual news outlet. Why do I say that? Because they fearlessly broke the story and backed it up. Even in the face of a coordinated lie that it was merely Russian disinformation. Meanwhile the NYT led with the letter signed by the now discredited spies claiming it was all lies. We know better now, but then, the lie helped sway an election. There were consequences for those who reported the story though. Fox news was sued and they fired Tucker Carlson for it. Because they reported an uncomfortable truth. Then there’s the computer repairman who sued Twitter for libel and was forced to pay their attorney fees.

The Biden Diary was left in a halfway house for recovering addicts. The girl who found it sold it. Eventually the Diary made it to Project Veritas and James Okeefe. They deemed it unverifiable so unprintable. So they gave the diary to the FBI. Later during their lawsuit against the NYT for the smear on Veritas over a story exposing open election fraud in Michigan, the FBI raided Okeefe’s home in a predawn raid with guns drawn. They left him handcuffed half naked on his lawn in front of his neighbors. The FBI claimed they wanted the dairy they already had… so they took all his attorney client privileged information. Somehow that information got into the hands of the NYT, who oddly enough, knew of the raid because they called him while he was handcuffed and mocked his arrest.

One wonders if anything the NYT reports is indeed truthful? Oh, I’m sure most of it is truth with lies strategically mixed in or truths connivingly left out. The result though is a lie. Spurious arguments that sound logical but are in fact meant to mislead. Moreover, their lies go back centuries. Remember the Maine? They have had blood on their hands since the Spanish American war at least. Showing their long and storied history of yellow journalism. How can such an inversion of truth maintain the luster of the “Paper of record?” The cadmium spoon maintains its electroplated sterling reputation by sustained and ruthless propaganda. Nevertheless, it’s time to stop using that cadmium spoon because the electroplating has worn off and it’s polluting the porridge.

The NYT is only one aspect of the corruption in our legacy news organizations. It’s the most prominent and like any other elephant in the room, everyone tiptoes around it, but it’s not the only one. Many media organizations maintain the Russia collusion lie to this day, and by maintaining that conspiracy alive, they keep the possibility of charges alive over it as well. Even as many maintain the lie that the Biden laptop was stole. Yea stolen from under a girl’s own bed after it had been abandoned there for months. That girl went to jail as an example to those who expose the elites’ dirty laundry. Meanwhile all the lies, lies that cost lives, are rewarded by the powers that be. Creating a perfect inversion of truth, justice, and the American way. Now that’s progressive!

Sincerely,
John Pepin
