Dear Friends,
It seems to me, political violence from progressives and Islamists is not only normalized, it’s acceptable now. Why would I say it’s acceptable? Because the media doesn’t even report it anymore. For example, a preacher in France was just murdered while preaching, by an Islamist. There is precious little news coverage on it. If, however, a Muslim Imam was murdered by a Christian… it would be front page news across the globe and proof all Christians are evil. Meanwhile, Charlie Kirk was shot to death by a leftist for wrongspeak. There’s also the little girl riding a train who was stabbed to death by a crazed lunatic, progressives had set free. There’s an old saying, if a dog bites a man, it’s not news, but if a man bites a dog… it’s news! So clearly, progressive or Islamic violence… is dog bites mailman.
The Summer of Love 2020 was a time of extraordinary violence from progressives in the US. They burned government buildings, beat folks, killed people, destroyed icons of Americanism, set police cars ablaze with police in them, they even tore down a statue of Abraham Lincoln. No one was punished in any meaningful way. The lawyers who set a police car on fire… with police inside, escaped consequences. Moreover, many rioters were rewarded with fat paychecks from the courts… because their rights were violated when the police stopped them from burning down a historic church. When a faction is allowed to get away with violence… the elite are normalizing violence from that faction. So, from this example we can see that violence from progressives has been normalized since 2020 at least.
At the same time, non-violent protesters of another faction were sent to prison and put in solitary confinement for years, without bail or fair trial. The double standard couldn’t have been more stark. It took a presidential pardon to stop the abuse of those protesters. In 2016, a rancher, Lavoy Finicum, was in a dust up with the BLM over his land. He and his friends protested by “occupying” a few thousand acres of wilderness. That was big news. Finicum was shot to death for it by the FBI. At about the same time the Occupy Wall Street protests were going on. In it, progressives committed rape, vandalism, and other atrocities… which were not news. The occupation of a remote ranger station by a rancher who was beset upon by the administrative state, however, was big news. So a man died.
The normalization of progressive and Islamist violence is such that violence from them is expected. When Charlie Kirk was shot to death by a progressive, many other progressives openly condemned the victim… for being controversial. Saying that someone who speaks out against the progressives, should expect to be shot to death in public. Yes, there has been some institutional backlash against such actors, but not the outrage there would be, if a conservative didn’t condemn the mentally challenged boy who ran his car into ANTIFA protesters in Georgia that had just beat the tar out of him. The average American, Brit, Frenchman, or German fears their government couldn’t care less about violence perpetrated against us… as a 14 year-old Scottish girl is arrested for defending herself from groomers.
The world is far less safe than it was in 2000. By every measure the elite have made a world that’s dangerous for everyone who isn’t a progressive or Islamist. Today no school is safe from an angry trans shooter. Groomers work with impunity in the UK. In the West we live under the threat we could be shot, stabbed, or get acid thrown in our face at any moment… simply for being white and Christian. Moreover, if we open our mouths like Charlie Kirk did… we will be targeted, as he was, or arrested as Tommy Robinson so often is. When the elite normalize violence, it forces everyone to become violent, or else become irrelevant. Call it out and be outraged at it, because it’s outrageous. Meanwhile, stay alert, maintain situational awareness, and be safe!
God Bless You,

Globalism The Wounded Bear
Dear Friends,
It seems to me even a mama bear isn’t as dangerous as a wounded bear, because it is mindless in its wrath. Keeping this in mind, it’s increasingly apparent the globalist elite are wounded and are acting like a wounded bear. They’re mindless in their wrath and lack self awareness in their actions. Every time someone criticizes them as censors then they prove the critic right, by censoring them, their lack of self awareness is manifested for the world. Even as the globalists are panicked at the temporary loss of USAID to fund their globalist agenda. So panicked they have triggered their sycophants to engage in stochastic terrorism. They are experiencing the feeling of a victim escaping their claws. A sure meal gone. Now their growling stomach adds to their blind wrath.
Progressives have played the long game for well over a century. The early progressives were identical to the Marxists, except for one thing… they lost faith in The Revolution. You can’t fit a cigarette paper between a Marxist and progressive when it comes to final policy… it’s in the path to despotism that they differ. The progressives realized communism could be implemented by stages. First fight for “rational” regulation of everything. Even the cutting of hair needs to be regulated by the all seeing all knowing administrative state. A pantheon of experts who would do our thinking for us. Eventually the regulators would be the sovereign… as is the case today in many nations. The UK for example, has a king, but the sovereignty rests in the bureaucracy.
The early progressives thought the capitalist system was bound to collapse. Then, with the right people in the right places when it did, they would simply usher in the new system and utopia would be the result. When Reagan won the Cold War they were agog. Complexity had won out against the centrally planned system. So a few intellectuals mutated Marxism into Woke. That worked splendidly. Intersectionalism allowed the despots to protect whomever they wanted and justify their atrocities because they argued, circularly, that there is no real truth, only power. So they exploit power to protect those they deem need protecting. Using their positions of power they expand it in the name of social justice… which is indistinguishable from Thrasymachus’ philosophy.
The train was rolling down the tracks to global totalitarianism when public opinion and the election of Trump derailed it. The Russian collusion hoax, violent upheaval, denying people their rights under color of law, and finally election fraud got the train back on the track, but it was dented and dirty. Then Musk bought Twitter and cut a track off entirely and the train derailed again. This time allowing truths to come out that set the cross ties on fire. So much so that without their monopoly control of the bureaucracy many would be looking at going to jail. In Europe they EU has subdued the democratic process to the administrative state, controlled speech and even thought… or so they thought. But even that wasn’t enough. The rise of populist parties has forced the globalists to act the despots.
When an unelected plutocracy bans candidates and parties in elections from thousands of miles away… there can be no clearer sign of hubris and fear. The fear of a wounded bear that thought it had a meal and discovered it had a bullet wound instead. Now the globalist bear is thrashing around, maybe mortally wounded and in those death throws it’s likely to do a great deal of damage. The globalists have already started a war with Russia and threaten to make it continental… again. How can anyone deny the clear panic of the globalists? Nothing says blind frustration like censoring, banning, and arresting people for wrongthink. So try to limit your exposure to their teeth and claws as best you can. Moreover, put another bullet into the monster… to put it out of its misery before it does any more damage.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
