Absurdity Cloaked In Jargon

Posted on October 22, 2024 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, everything the progressive’s say makes perfect sense, until you think about it, then you realize, it’s absurdity cloaked in jargon. Progressives in every nation rely on spurious logic to manipulate us into self harm. Some examples are, “a just nation has a low disparity between the rich and poor,” “Misinformation must be controlled,” and the ever famous, “democracy is at stake!” Each statement sounds true enough as long as you don’t think about it. But then again, who does? We’re busy people and so a quip, true or not, has more power to convince than a well thought out argument. Which is one reason the left is so panicked about their inability to create memes. A joke that exposes their absurdity is their greatest peril. Because it alerts the victims.

Slogans, tropes and spin are ways to manipulate us. They define absurdity cloaked in jargon. There’s nothing like a simple to remember slogan. A few words that create an emotional reaction are the ideal tool of manipulation. Because an angry person is not a thinking person. People who aren’t thinking are easy to control. Slogans set up tropes. Mind viruses that hold our thoughts fast. So we don’t engage in wrongthink. Then there’s spin. If we see something we shouldn’t, and shock causes us to have too much to think, the elite can manipulate our reaction with spin. That laptop with all the damning information on it? Well, that’s only Russian disinformation. Don’t take Ivermectin for heavens sake! It’s horse medicine! The fact the IPCC lied, and made up data, is only proof of the urgency of climate change!

The best tools of manipulation are self proving, obvious and arcane. Self proving is another way of saying circular logic. Why should there be a small discrepancy between the rich and poor for a nation to be just? Because justice requires the discrepancy to be small. To be obvious is to be simple to understand. Misinformation must be bad, it’s in the damned name! One way to make a slogan appear clever is to use words with undefined meanings. Keep it arcane. So no one actually understands what you’re saying. Then they put the definitions they want to your words and voila… minds are changed, logic is abused, and the economy is wrecked. Absurdity cloaked in jargon then is circular, simple to understand and filled with mercurial definitions.

The modern absurdities we’re expected to believe uncritically have these things in common. They’re arcane. Because the terms are never defined. They’re spurious, because they sound logical but are intended to deceive. Plus they oversimplify. Since without definition and intended to fool they must oversimplify. Else they lose their effectiveness. Five words stick in the mind while fifty never make it past the ear. Especially five words that are left to us to define as our emotions command. What really is democracy, misinformation, rich or poor? Depends who you ask. Making those terms arcane and spurious. Quips sound smart so we often believe them uncritically. Making absurdity cloaked in jargon a nearly impervious political tool of control. Except it has a weakness.

Memes, or visual jokes, are kryptonite to the progressive’s absurdity cloaked in jargon. They illustrate the absurdity, in a few words, and are humorous so stick in the mind. Vaccinating the recipient from the mind virus of slogans, jargon and spin. Moreover, progressives don’t have a sophisticated sense of humor, being low on the orderly aspect of the big five. Wit is the result of connecting two disparate ideas in an unexpected fashion. Those with overly open minds have all ideas connected and so they don’t understand the shock of unexpected connection that makes jokes work. Which makes memes a single edged sword for populists. Like slogans used to be for elitists. Absurdity cloaked in jargon has been very a effective tool of manipulation… memes may be the kryptonite we need to defeat them.

Sincerely,

Dear Friends,

 

People like Stoltenberg sit on their haunch,

Shouting pouting and blowing on a conch,

Nuclear war you say,

He wants it today,

And he should be strapped to the first one they launch.

 

Ethics shame and morals are upturned,

The elite claim nationalism is adjourned,

Do as they wish,

Smelling of fish,

And ruling against the will of the governed.

 

There once was a socialist Flo,

She was pretty but a little slow,

Sleeping on Ikea,

Captured by an idea,

The acme of Eleanor Rigby she was though.

 

There’s nothing like dead weight bureaucracy,

Crushing innovation people and technology,

Lawfare is so very artful,

They said with their mouth full,

And government is really a corruptocracy.

 

There once was a faction that banned,

Everything they disliked out of hand,

Hypocrites and oligarchs,

Censoring from the dark,

And they’ve become the hegemonic faction in the land.

 

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Wealthy Societies

Posted on October 20, 2024 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, what has always made wealthy societies, is access to resources made possible by trade. Especially those people with few local natural resources. Because places that import most things become industrial centers. Even in ancient times. Look at the pre-pottery Neolithic “city” of Sefer Tepe, a major hub of bead production. It could exist as a permanent community before agriculture. Trade, commerce and industry have always been, and always will be wealth creators. At the other extreme, we find that societies with an abundance, tend not to advance, have much industry or engage in trade. Why should they? They have all they need. It’s shortages that create the need to trade, and trade that brings in foreign resources and ideas, that lead to innovation. All of which lead to wealth.

The existence of pre pottery neolithic permanent settlements have baffled archaeologists since their discovery. I maintain they were trading and industrial centers. Much ancient technology required tools that are stationary. It’s hard to imagine how a stone cup would be made without specialized tools. While a flint arrowhead or pestle are easily fabricated in the field, a stone cooking pot isn’t. Moreover, it’s easier to kill a few rabbits, and trade them for a stone cooking pot, than to spend the time to make one. A hunter gatherer existence is nearly perfect competition. Any advantage, no matter how small… is huge. That’s why places like Karahan Tepe existed. As prehistoric trading and fabrication centers for the local population. That fed itself, not by agriculture, but by trade.

Japan was a backwater for thousands of years, until they came into contact with Western culture, and science. Which the Japanese people sifted through and quickly adopted what they saw as the best of it. Then exploded in wealth, commerce and science. Today Japan is at the leading edge of technology, science and innovation. Not because it’s blessed with natural resources, but because it became a trading and industrial powerhouse. Hong Kong grew into an economic giant despite it’s diminutive size, because all it had was commerce. No food, little water and a speck of land, it had to trade for everything, on the world market. What could it offer in trade… except the product of their labor? So the leaders allowed free enterprise to flourish and so did the economy. Until the CCP took over.

Spain took literally tons of gold from the new world. Those riches made Spain the wealthiest nation on the planet. The Spaniards lived off that gold for a century. Once it was spent, they had no trade, commerce or innovation left. That had all gone away. Why learn a trade, why toil, and why farm… when there’s plenty of money? So people didn’t apply themselves, and when the money was used up, they became paupers. Rome was at one time the richest nation on Earth with the wealthiest capital. It became so rich, and that wealth made it so decadent, that it couldn’t field its own army. So it paid mercenaries to fight their wars. Until the mercenaries realized, why fight for the gold when we can just take it? So they did. Leading to the collapse of the Western Roman empire.

If a people want to be wealthy, the path is not to take money and live in luxury, not to abet cronyism, or to regulate the economy to death… but to engage in trade with the world, import, export, innovate, industrialize, and allow free enterprise to work. Educate the kids to be entrepreneurs instead of worker bees. Use the military to keep trade routes open… not force the will of the local elites on the world, or as a tool of politically favored corporations. These things are only possible when the government is limited, free of corruption and transparent. That’s how economies are made wealthy. Those that try to regulate, tax, and spend a nation’s wealth on boondoggles, eventually find out, once you run out of other people’s money, to make them unable to earn more… ya’ll gonna get poor.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Dear Friends,

 

There once was a conniving raccoon,

Who ate caviar from a golden spoon,

She said with a harrumph,

I’m better than Trump,

And Hillary’s twin is the creature from the Black Lagoon.

 

The world has had a mighty revelation,

Coming together to hate a tiny little nation,

Their clear success,

Gives us distress,

And convicts our philosophy by observation.

 

The depopulationists live in fear,

People may wake and shed a tear,

I’m sorry you broke up,

Purple Koolade in a cup,

And they won’t stop until the end times are here.

 

When terrorism is the law of the land,

Its use to sow strife cannot be banned,

What goes around,

Comes around,

And sometimes blows up in your hand.

 

When law enforcement is above the law,

As in the news that we all saw,

What’s good for thee,

Is not for the elite,

And It bodes ill tidings for us all.

 

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Reversal And Balance

Posted on October 18, 2024 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, if your logic doesn’t stand reversal… it’s wrong. Examples are, censorship, double standards and all forms of despotism. The woke believe that some should be coddled while others should be exposed to uncomfortable facts. Though, should those groups be reversed, the coddled group exposed to uncomfortable facts, and the disfavored group, coddled… the proponents of woke ideology would be outraged. Proving their hypocrisy. When reversal doesn’t work it creates a logical tension… imbalance. The Mpemba effect is a scientific fact that doesn’t stand reversal, and so is counter intuitive, and downright illogical. Because, if hot water freezes before cold water, then why doesn’t cold water boil faster than hot water? Reversal balances logic, morality and ideas.

The Golden Rule is reversal in morality. The Golden Rule says, “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” A perfect statement of reversal. It admonishes us to think of how we want to be treated, then reverse it, and apply it to others. Simplicity is the hallmark of truth. Not oversimplification, but simple laws that are reversible and apply universally. Despite the Taoist argument against universals. E=MC^2 is an example of a universal law that’s both simple yet explains the complex… as is the Golden Rule. All morality can be described by reversal and no immoral act can be justified by reversal. No murderer wants to be murdered, no con man wants to be conned, and no censor wants to be censored. Morality and hypocrisy are illustrated and balanced by reversal.

Reciprocal attribution is another example of reversal. Put simply, reciprocal attribution is to reverse the attribution another puts on us, by applying it to them. We can’t treat someone trying to murder us as a close friend, trusting a con is stupid, and accepting censorship is a sure path to despotism. That’s why the wise reciprocate in all things… especially attribution. This form of reversal is the basis for the fundamental right of self protection. The defender isn’t the aggressor. The defender is reacting to aggression. Or in other words, reversing the aggression, to the aggressor. To do that, the defender must attribute sub human status to the aggressor, as the aggressor has attributed subhuman status to the defender. Reversal then informs us of right behavior, and gives balance, even in chaotic circumstances.

All forms of despotism are discredited by reversal. Censorship, lawfare, propaganda, etc… are examples where the perpetrator wouldn’t want those measures applied to themselves. The hypocrites. Tyrants aren’t known for their spartan lifestyles. Opulence at the cost to others is the way presidents for life roll. Reverse it though and the despot becomes a revolutionary. Because they wont tolerate for themselves what they hand out to others. Which suggests most revolutionaries are simply despots looking for a career opening. Ask yourself, would Chairman Xi, Kim Jong Un or the elite in Brussels, tolerate having their property taken from them? Let alone organ harvested, publicly executed or jailed for a Facebook post? Simple reversal proves all forms of despotism… unbalanced, hypocritical and evil.

If our intelligentsia used reversal, as a means to falsify their hypothesis, then we might not have to put up with so much absurdity coming out of academia. I believe most intellectuals are terrified of Karl Popper’s falsification. Therefore they shudder at the very mention of reversal. Because nothing is as discrediting as reversal. With the sole stumbling block being the Mpemba effect. In nature, balance is found everywhere. We use balance to weigh goods for sale. Balance keeps us on our feet. Reversal then is a means to get at balance… in logic, morality, science and philosophy. A hypothesis that can’t stand up to reversal clearly isn’t balanced. While a morality that can’t be reversed is hypocritical. Reversal is a vital tool left out of most intellectual toolboxes. Let’s add it.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Dear Friends,

 

There once was a culture useless,

Where people were made hopeless,

No way out,

But don’t pout,

The CCP has plenty of fentanyl for all of us.

 

There once was a politician named Keir,

Demons, imps and leftists thought him a dear,

He’s not a despot,

He’s just a zealot,

And then went on to ban cigs, wine and beer.

 

There once was an elite so evil,

The demons were not their equal,

Without morals we win,

They said with a grin,

And set themselves afire for a sequel.

 

There once was an elite so self blind,

They talked loudly from their behind,

We’re the rational ones here,

They said with a sneer,

And then claimed to be gods of a kind.

 

There once was a faction from Hades,

The men liked to pretend to be ladies,

A hypocritical lot,

Covered in snot,

As they sucked the marrow from their own babies.

 

Tommy Robinson is the man of the hour,

The elite despise him from their ivory tower,

He makes them wail,

They put him in jail,

And they hate that he speaks truth to power.

 

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Digital Anything

Posted on October 16, 2024 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, one thing that’s being proved before our eyes, is that digital anything isn’t secure, robust or safe. Whenever anything is made digital it’s become less secure, in that it’s exposed to hackers getting at it, and making that data public. Less robust, since it can be changed at the push of a button. Plus, it’s less reliable, because we simply don’t know if anything digital is truthful anymore. The rational default should be… no, if it appears digitally, it’s probably a lie, and if the government says it, it’s definitely a lie. A road to Hell, always leads to Hell. That’s why we need to push back against the Hegelian manipulation that’ll be used to push digital currency. How can we expect digital currency to go different, than digital voting, banking or healthcare? We can’t. CBDCs will be a nightmare.

Digital voting has been a total catastrophe. When the ballots were on paper, verifiable and hand counted, the results were in within an hour of the polls closing. Even as digital has ushered in an age where it can take days. Now that’s efficiency… or is it? With digital voting, the results are subject to change, depending on the whims of the hackers that find their way into the machines. Of course, with digital voting, there’s no need of voter ID… digital has made the whole thing a theater anyway. Electronic voting has taken political agency from citizens and placed it in the hands of the elite. As the elite did with freedom of speech, jury sentencing and contacting our representatives free through the mail. We can say that digital voting has alleviated us of the burden of blame. Since it makes us pawns.

Social media is censored and politically correct ideas are promoted by digital magic. Rendering our ability to communicate subject to political intervention. To make sure we only talk about approved subjects in the approved manner. Else the elite claim we’re engaging in misinformation, disinformation, or maybe even malinformation. Call ’em what you will, they all mean, wrongthink. In promoting the power of the elite the digital age has been a demon send. It can make a lie appear to be reality. Digital technology has made surveillance, categorizing people and censoring, far more efficient. While it’s made communicating betwixt each other fraught with legal ramifications. Again, the introduction of digital technology to voting and communication has made them less secure, less safe and less reliable.

If we go to a doctor… Our personal information is on the Dark Web, or soon will be, due to the incessant hacking done to digital servers. You don’t even have had to do business with a company for them to have all your personal information… dangling on an unsecured server. Just waiting to be plucked by a smart hacker and sold on the Dark web. Soon, it’ll be impossible to take out a loan because we won’t be able to identify ourselves… short of DNA, retinal scan or a fingerprint. Instead of facilitating commerce, the introduction of digital technology has introduced a myriad of security concerns. There’s no denying digital technology has unburdened us of the need to think though. Weakening our minds accordingly. As any muscle left flaccid long enough becomes weak.

Instead of making information more credible, accessible and truthful, the digital revolution has made information more dangerous, unsecured, censored and manipulated. Given the history of digitizing things… can you imagine the utter catastrophe a digital currency would be? Combining the disaster of digital voting, with the censorship of social media, along with a total lack of personal security. The trifecta of prosperity liquidators. Then again, there are those who think, just because an action has always resulted in the same outcome… doesn’t mean it will, this time. Like jumping off a cliff… eventually, someone might sprout wings and fly. Wouldn’t that be great! Digital technology could make it appear to happen, as the bodies are hauled off. Maybe we should rethink the digital revolution?

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Lawless Society

Posted on October 15, 2024 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, if pointing out a crime is itself a crime, then you live in a lawless society. A nation where law is a means to oppress the politically disconnected and loot the treasury. Law doesn’t promote societal harmony, alleviate cultural stress or facilitate commerce. In such places law is no protection. It’s only a threat. Moreover, where the government itself abets crime, that lawless government is engaging in arbitrary rule. A type of rule where laws are randomly applied. Why is such a government bad? Because it could change the law, but doesn’t, so that law can be used despotically against the politically disfavored. Even as it’s not applied to the politically favored. So instead of eliminating a law that’s largely unenforced, the law arbitrarily enforce it. Then make it illegal to point their hypocrisy out.

That election instructions are written in multiple languages is open abetting of election fraud. To pass the citizenship test one has to have a basic understanding of English. Legally, only citizens are allowed to vote, so by printing instructions and directions in mandarin, Spanish, Urdu, etc… is openly abetting vote fraud. By the very people tasked with preventing election crime. So, when the crime of fraud is that in our face, how can we have any confidence in their word… or an election? Why not pass laws allowing illegal aliens to vote then? Because they need the votes… but not the political backlash. Though, if you or I were to cover the illegal instructions, we would be charged with a crime, for preventing a crime. In other words, if we point out the crime, we’re charged with a crime.

For years the police fought in court to be allowed to film us anytime anyplace, including at home in private, while at the very same time, making it illegal to film a police officer even in public. Not only epitomizing hypocrisy… but showing the police themselves must be engaging in crime. Else they wouldn’t care about being videoed in public. If we accept the premise of every elite’s statement about the legitimacy of mass surveillance. IE, “If your not engaging in a crime why would you care if the police are videoing you?” You and I have no presumption of privacy while in public, or even at home in our bathroom, if we have a cell phone with us… but apparently, a civil servant expects total privacy even in public. Because, to expose a crime by a public servant is itself a crime, in Amerika today.

Arbitrary rule, or the random application of the law, is proof of a lawless society. Instead of changing the law so the politically favored aren’t effected by it. An unjust government will simply not enforce the law on the politically favored. Then use that same law to oppress the politically disfavored. So the law is a tool. A tool that doesn’t apply to everyone equally. Once this starts it only gets worse. Because those in power will exploit arbitrary rule to their advantage. Enriching those with access and closing the door of justice more firmly to those without it. Because arbitrary rule is the perfect tool to loot a treasury. Clean it out and pay off the guards, your cronies and keep the lions share for the corrupt elite. Leaving the people destitute. Enriching the corrupt though is only one result of a lawless society.

Using inversion we can discern which way leads us away from justice. For law to be the avatar of justice, one must not go the way Thrasymachus urged Glaucon and his friends. That’s going the opposite direction. Hypocrisy being the opposite of justice. As is arbitrarily enforcing the law. We need to avoid going the wrong way as we embrace the right way. First we need to stop tolerating the criminal abuse of whistle blowers. Pointing out a crime is a heroic act… not a crime. The criminals need to be investigated, charged and tried. Not those exposing their crimes. Why do you think the elite always attack the source of information rather than disprove charges? Because they’re guilty and arbitrary rule allows them to escape justice. Demand our lawless governments become lawful again.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Dear Friends,

 

Google is a company on the cutting edge,

Of making money from placing a wedge,

Lying for profit,

You can’t top it,

And the executives will end up on a ledge.

 

The love of migrants by the elite is infinite,

Islamists rapists and terrorists are a benefit,

Their culture to sow,

Not in Brussels though,

Proving the elites in the EU are hypocrite.

 

Our Rights are guaranteed in our Constitution tis true,

If we’re denied the document then our rights are subdue,

The judge said in a huff,

Enough is enough,

But he should be wary because his authority comes from it too.

 

There once was a faction of traitors,

Like a government filled with gators,

They grab from beneath,

Then pick their teeth,

And the progressives are the acme of violators.

 

The elite are corrupt as dog poop,

But here’s the latest foul scoop,

They do as they please,

Wont turn in the keys,

All to benefit the oligarchs in the loop.

Progressive Crimes

Posted on October 13, 2024 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, progressives can get away with the most heinous crimes imaginable, and no one is ever outraged at them? It’s mind boggling. Over and over, the progressive faction is caught in a crime against humanity, and no one seems to care. Election fraud, rioting, arson, beatings, eugenics, using violence as a political weapon, notorious racism, lawfare, frame jobs, false flags, the list is endless. How is it they escape criticism for their crimes? No wonder the progressives are upping their game though. Being above criticism, let alone the law itself, why not? I think they get away with their crimes because they control the narrative, run the administrative state, and claim the moral high ground, from the sewer. These are the three legs the progressive edifice stands on. Kick any one out and they fall.

Progressive crimes against humanity are legendary. The Fascists saw themselves as the European version of the American progressive party. Moreover, to sharpen the point, during the Nuremberg trials the Nazis charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity, claimed everything they did was legal in the US, based on Buck v Bell. Therefore all the crimes of the Nazis can be laid at the feet of the progressive faction. They are horrible, but the progressive party in the US, has a pretty heavy burden of crimes against humanity as well. Buck v Bell? That was a progressive usurpation of power over the individual to clean the human genome. Then there’s the famous Korematsu, where the Supreme Court gave the president the power to arbitrarily imprison any group of people he deems fit.

A full accounting of the crimes against humanity committed by the progressive faction would be far too long to list. So suffice it to say, the crimes above, are the tip of the iceberg of progressive atrocities. Done in the name of ushering in utopia. Which is how they claim the moral high ground even as they commit inhumanity. Because their goal is so wonderful it justifies any atrocity. Do you think a Nazi death camp guard, a Young Turk, or other malignant psychopath thinks they’re the bad guy? Of course not! They think they’re the good guys. and the innocent women and children they’re raping, beating and murdering, are the bad guys. They firmly have the moral high ground in their own minds. Moreover, if those in charge of the narrative are of such a mind, that’s what the narrative will reflect.

The progressive faction has had a monopolistic control of the narrative for a century. “Journalists” are all taught in the same schools, with the same ideology… progressivism. They’re steeped in the ideology of elitism. Believing that only the experts should have a say. The rest of us should sit down, shut up… and let the adults run the show. As long as they had a monopoly the narrative was theirs. With the introduction of social media and private journalism, their stranglehold on information weakened. That’s why censorship is so important. Without it they lose control of the narrative. That narrative is one leg of their oligarchy. Lose it and the thing falls over. The two legs of, running the bureaucracy and claiming the moral high ground, are insufficient to hold up their oligarchy in the face of transparency

The progressive faction’s iron grip on the deep state isn’t due to merely owning the top, their ideology has oozed through the bureaucracy to the ground floor. In any bureaucracy of government it’s near impossible to find anyone who isn’t a progressive elitist. It’s handy, when engaging in crime, to own the police, prosecutors, judges… and press. The simple fact their crimes are unpunished allows the progressives to claim they are moral and just. Then amplify their claims of “morality” with their mockingbird media. While their three legged stool seems stable… it’s not. Kick out any of those legs and the thing collapses on its face. That’s why we should struggle against censorship, eliminate the deep state, as well as expose their crimes… and thus the malevolence of the progressive faction.

Sincerely,

John Pepin
