Another Batch Of Limericks

Posted on June 19, 2023 by john

LGBTQ is now cool,

It’s all they teach in school,

What doesn’t make sense,

At great public expense,

Because the elite think parents are fools.

 

There once was a fellow named Barr,

The man should taste feather and tar,

He tripped through the law,

Is full of character flaws.

Then stabbed in the back his benefactor.

 

I heard of a painter so posh,

His name was Durham by gosh

The report did established,

No criminal should be punished,

Because the report was just a white wash.

 

Some people make me wince,

Like the ex veep Mike Pence,

A bootlick as mentor,

Then became a traitor,

Since scum can’t sit on a fence.

 

A stinking liar is Schiff,

Although his delivery is stiff,

His lies cost a pretty sum,

Consequences he had none,

But now we’ve all had a whiff.

 

The scum of the earth are RINOs,

They deal with more yeast than Gynos,

Kneading their lies,

Into healthy bitter pies,

That’s why most of them are winos.

 

Speaker McCarthy claimed he was brave,

Us from the tyrants he would save.

He huffed and he puffed,

Then spoke very gruff,

But in the end all he did was cave.

 

Biden is a real square fellow,

The law he does always follow,

A top secret or three,

Donated to the CCP,

Yea I know, that’s pretty hard to swallow.

 

You have been dead before,

One need not be forlorn,

It was in the past,

And it didn’t last,

What do you think you were before you were born?

 

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Fascist Globalism Versus American Nationalism

Posted on June 18, 2023 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, it’s pretty hard to win a war, when your own elite are on the other side. The culture war, the great struggle between ideologies, and nationalism versus globalism, for example. In each effort, our elite, the ones who are supposed to represent us in these existential struggles, are playing for the other side. How do I know this? Judging purely by their actions. If the republicans really wanted to do something about the out of control corruption in DC, they would impeach Wray for withholding documents, lying to congress and refusing to do his job. They would impeach Garland for open partisan lawfare as well as refusal to do his job. The democrats, if the shoe were on the other foot, would have already put the men behind bars… with the enthusiastic help of republicans.

In the culture war, the democrats hold law from prosecuting their violent followers, while exploiting law as a weapon against their foes. Can you imagine the outcry from democrats should a violent pro abortion activist be raided early in the morning by SWAT? Like peaceful pro life protesters are… for praying silently. The lack of action by republicans on this issue is revealing. The term, controlled opposition, comes to mind. Even “pro life” republicans balk at making abortion illegal. Their recent vote on the debt limit in favor of every democrat point, while caving on every conservative point, was telling. Then again, there is their vote not to punish Adam Schiff for lying about the Russian collusion hoax, makes it undeniable. With friends like republican elites, enemies are redundant.

There are two kinds of nationalism. One can be loyal to a race (fascist nationalism) else one can be patriotic to an ideology. Like the American Ideal. The first leads to Nazism, the second to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, unencumbered by the State. In the titanic fight we are in, the people stand for American nationalism, while the elite are all in on fascist globalism. It is to be expected that some elites will have traitorous leanings, but today, even those who claim to stand with us, are secretly against us. Globalism is in fashion, and fashion is not subject to logic, only the emotion of appearances. So the elite will not stand to hear the American Experiment has anymore life left to it. They’ll kill whatever is left so they can get on to building a legacy, and becoming the… Founding Trans Mothers.

In the great struggle of ideologies, Marxism, Fascism and Freedom, our elites are solidly behind global fascism. Freedom had its day. Even Marx and Hitler, two peas from a pod, agreed on that. While capitalism is good at creating economic wealth for everyone, a constantly improving standard of living and freedom to pursue happiness, it denies the rulers power… and so has to go. They would prefer Marxism but, the lesson of the Twentieth century and all, plus the fact that when the CCP converted from communism to fascist mercantilism, their economy exploded. Our elites are smart, just ask them, they know communism always fails economically, so they have adopted fascism. Put on a global scale, their totalitarian planetary Reich will last ten thousand years… and there will be no escape!

What we have then is a two party system where both parties stand united, in a bipartisan fashion… against the American people, our Constitution and the United States as an entity. The EU is no different. The elites in the West have decided the nation state is passe. We need to move onto a global government. Like in Star Trek. So if an elite comes along who agrees with the hoi polloi, he or she is vilified, persecuted and lawfared until they give up, or join the dark side. That’s why Trump is so loathed by the elite. He is an anathema to them. Good heavens Lovey! A patriotic populist! Could there be a more unfashionable person? Nevertheless, the people love him because he isn’t obviously stabbing us in the back… like the republicans and Tories are. Maybe America needs a Reform Party.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Probing American’s Privates

Posted on June 16, 2023 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the 80,000 IRS agents the government is hiring could scrape a few dimes from small businesses, ruining them… or, they could go after the hundreds of billions the government has lost track of. The mind boggling billions that have disappeared from the Covid relief funds for example. A good CPA could save more money in ten minutes, auditing the government, than a million IRS auditors could do in a thousand years, squeezing pennies from us little guys. The fact is, the elite don’t want their pork trimmed, they want more money from us, to fatten up the hogs. Since we abandoned the democratically representative republican paradigm decades ago, to become an autocratic government in all but name, the elite call the shots, and those who call the shots, get their way.

A trillion dollar deficit is not going to be filled by bankrupting a few small businesses. That would be like filling a black hole. It can’t be done, because the more it grows, the hungrier it gets. Like chasing a rainbow, it will be forever beyond one’s grasp. As well as the pot of gold beneath. The elite are chasing for a pot of gold by scrounging every penny from us. Their greed, avarice and envy is boundless, yet grows, with every tax dollar they take in. There is a saying, if your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. The elite have only the hammer of deficit spending, so they attack with gusto every problem… with other people’s money. Obviously, such wise leaders as we have, would only use our money for their own interests, to do otherwise would be, good heavens, populist!

At this point the deficit is growing faster than GDP. According to economic sources, other than Gingrich’s short budget surplus in the late 1990s, the US has grown the debt at twice the rate of GDP since the 1980s! That isn’t “sustainable.” The deficit is now over 31 trillion dollars and growing fast. The brain balks at comprehending such numbers. Yet the amount of money you and I owe, because the elite spent it in our name, grew a trillion dollars last year alone. As the government wastes more and more of the national capital on malinvestment, cronyism and foreign wars, less and less will be available for reinvestment, maintenance and innovation. Until eventually, everything we make, will go to feeding the dragon the elite summoned into being. That, bad as it is, isn’t even the worse part.

Eating the young to stay fat is a self destructive strategy. When government becomes the be all end all of people’s existence, and the only legal source of income, we either figure out a way to rent seek, else starve. The capitalist option, creating something of value and selling it, thus improving your life and the lives of those who bought it from you, a win win, becomes impossible. Regulations block the way, taxes take the profit, corruption increases costs, and envious elites will use law as a means to punish the few who still win. As Lenin did to the Kulaks. So everyone becomes a grifter. Because grifting is the only thing that can be done in a rent seeking economy. And a rent seeking economy becomes inevitable when the government spends all of the public’s money on maintaining power.

If the government really wanted to solve the deficit problem, they could do it in a heartbeat, but the deficit is a problem that they can manipulate into more power, wealth and prerogative. So they only want to appear to solve it, while they exploit the fear of it to usurp more power. No corruptocrat wants to be audited by an uninterested third party. That would be suicide. No, the elite, who have unlimited power now, want unlimited deficit spending and a rent seeking economy. They are accelerationists at heart, pushing to end the world. So they can rebuild it in an image they prefer. A global fascist totalitarian oligarchy where the experts run the show. That’s why we are getting 80,000 IRS agents to probe every American’s private papers… and not an audit of the insane spending.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

How To Liquidate Poverty

Posted on June 14, 2023 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, if we want to eliminate poverty, subsidizing it hasn’t worked, so why not try giving the poor a few ladders? Why is it that most poor people have no house, investments or even a bank account, yet sport tattoos that cost over fifteen grand? Because there are no investments geared to them and their needs. Without savings, the down payment to a home might as well be a trillion dollars. Of course, to protect us from “terrorists,” the government has made it more and more difficult to get a bank account. It is easier to vote than to get banked. So why not invest in tats? If there is no mechanism to get out of poverty they might as well look the part. I think that instead of holding the downtrodden down, stepping on them, it might be advisable to take our collective jack boot from their throats.

Capitalist social security, as I call it, would be an investing mechanism that would appeal to the poor. With immediate and perpetually growing returns, many poor people might forego a full body tat, for everlasting income. The industrious might even invest in capitalist social security rather than in a pound of cocaine. People are self interested, including the poor. We all take the path of least resistance, and if that path leads to poverty, that is where we will go. Provide a path that leads out of poverty however, and the children of privileged will have to compete with poor kids, with greater merit. That is obviously unacceptable, so the poor are held down with regulations, taxes and laws. Capitalist social security is a mechanism to create generational wealth… for everyone.

Education is the single best ladder there is, or it can be an anvil, depending on what is taught. When the kids are taught with the goal of their achieving prosperity, fecundity and health, there will be more prosperity, health and people will be more fecund. If instead children are confused if they are a boy or girl, taught that math is impossible, reading irrelevant and writing a waste of time, then you will get a society filled with impoverished, obese people, who aborted their kids. While this is a problem for society, mankind and humanity, it is a boon for the elite. Their half witted brats, who deserve to be in shirtsleeves, will not have to compete with sharp, enthusiastic go getters. Instead, their peers will be hopeless drug addled homeless people, who don’t know of they are a boy or girl.

Terrorist laws have ground up the few ladders that still exist to get the poor out of poverty. Regulation has effectively de-banked the poor. If you don’t have a dozen pieces of ID and bills addressed to you from public utilities, you can’t get a bank account. Even a Christmas account. How is someone supposed to save the money for a down payment on a home if they are barred by law from saving? The poor don’t have access to lawyers either. That’s why criminals know, steal a penny from the elite and you go to prison, while you can steal everything a poor person has, putting them onto the street, and the government wont lift a finger to prosecute you. The assumption must be the poor didn’t deserve the few things they did have. Poverty in America is regulated, subsidized and husbanded by the elite.

Instead of making it harder to get out of poverty, by subsidizing it, regulating away the ladders and taxing small businesses to death… perhaps a more effective strategy, to creating wealth among the poor, would be to let their heads above water, and maybe even throw them a rope. Capitalist social security and a voucher system would be all the rope most need. Especially if they are coupled with cutting small business strangling regulations, the laws that bar the poor from banks, and cutting taxes. The only reason we have any poor in the US today is because it’s public policy. The elite want more poor and so we will get more poor. On the other hand, if everyone’s abilities are applied to the economy, the availability of everything will go up, while the cost goes down, and poverty will be liquidated.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Cognitive Dissonance Of Green

Posted on June 11, 2023 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, you have to hand it to the elite, their lack of cognitive dissonance is superhuman. I mean, most normal people would experience severe cognitive dissonance, when claiming that strip mining millions of acres of forestland to produce the cobalt, lithium and other metals needed for their “green” economy, is perfectly fine… but producing food for the miners is a world ending emergency. That would flip most people’s minds inside out. To hold such divergent, and absurd viewpoints, and hold them as equally true, would be like someone being a Zionist Nazi. You would think the cognitive dissonance would be overwhelming. Clearly though, the ability of a progressive to hold mutually exclusive viewpoints, and not break down, is herculean… or is it?

The rare earth element refining alone, causes ecological disaster that will take centuries to mitigate, if ever… but it’s in Mongolia, and those people are poor and powerless, so who cares? There are lakes that will be toxic for centuries, eventually draining those toxins into the ocean, but hey, at least some CO2 didn’t go into the atmosphere for it. Because if CO2 were to triple, the ecological disaster would be stupendous… plants would flourish, even in the desert. The need for fertilizer would decrease due to the increase in airborn fertilizer. Resulting in increased food yields for man and beast. We can’t have that! So the experts have decided, in all their wisdom, education and moral superiority, that polluting entire regions of other nations is acceptable, if some CO2 is kept out of the air.

Child labor in Africa is the source of much of the cobalt. The progressives would rather those kids starve, that would be more humane in their tinfoil eyes. Of course, the other option, the one we are not allowed to talk about, is the wealth of nations option. Where the rulers cut taxes, regulation and rent seeking to increase the wealth of the nation. They use the market system to bring in equipment that adults run, so the children can get an education, instead of black lung. That would require cheap energy though, and eliminating cheap energy is what the green energy movement is all about. Taking that option off the table. So the only possibilities left, are children toiling in toxic metals to create a clean economy, or they starve to death from poverty. No cognitive dissonance there.

Solar panels are also called solar batteries. Why? Because it takes so much energy to produce them, you only get out what it takes to make them. Only in the last few years has the threshold been broken, in the industrial manufacture, that they produce more energy than it takes to make them. So, for the most part, solar panels are simply stored coal energy, to be converted back to electricity upon exposure to sunlight. The best panels will produce 120% of the energy it took to make them. Then there are the mankind endangering schemes to cool the planet. Spraying sulfur compounds into the stratosphere, dumping tons of iron into the sea to trigger runaway algae growth, and putting giant sunshades in orbit to block sunlight. No way they could go wrong in an extinction level event… to save us from CO2.

I find it odd that “green” requires centrally planned pollution, planet endangering schemes and toxic chemicals… but farms are the planet’s mortal enemy. That has to make you wonder. How can strip mining, child labor, unmitigatable pollution, converting coal to solar, etc… be green, while farming, the most earth friendly activity human beings do, is not? Especially without triggering titanic cognitive dissonance in the minds of progressives. I think it does. I think that’s why progressives are so angry and bitter. They are holding onto a dragon’s tail, in their minds, and dare not let go. The cognitive dissonance would swallow them whole. It is so overwhelming, it silences the rational part of the brain, by the fear of what would happen to their worldview, should they acknowledge it.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Elite’s Insurrection Against Our Constitution

Posted on June 9, 2023 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the truth behind the Trump indictment, is that it’s a power struggle between the administrative state and the last vestiges of our Constitutional Republic. The crux of the argument is, the President cannot declassify documents, that is now the purview of the bureaucracy. That President Trump declassified documents, the bureaucracy has not even seen, violates that premise. Violating their reason for existing, to protect our Constitution, the courts have shown themselves to be partisans on this issue. The question of whether the Constitutional government should cede its power to the administrative state, as far as the Judicial Branch of government is concerned, is ardently, YES. At least, judging by their rulings against Constitutional norms. So… the question will be decided in a biased court.

The administrative state is a synonym for bureaucracy. Woodrow Wilson’s favorite book, it is largely said, was Philip Dru Administrator. In which all governing was done by bureaucrats. Experts in their fields of bureaucracy. They had the stomach to make the hard decisions and then carry them out. He, and the entire progressive movement that sprang up, including the Nazi movement in Germany that paralleled their philosophy, considered the administrative state to be the ideal government. An enlightened version of the philosopher kings Socrates spoke of in Plato’s Republic. Experts, educated at university, who have the knowledge to centrally plan, not only the economy, but the totality of life itself. Obviously, with such expert dispassionate rule, mankind could only but reach utopia.

The administrative state has slowly been usurping power from our Constitutional government since the 1930s. The Supreme Court opened the door wide to the administrative state in it’s ruling, Wickard v Filburn. That little slight of hand made the Interstate Commerce Clause supersede the rest of the Constitution. Which allowed the bureaucracy to have the might it wields today. Since that traitorous act, the Supreme Court has gone on to demolish the walls around what is constitutional action, by government. This indictment, if it isn’t thrown out of court, will be the collapse of the original frame. From the debris, the progressives will build their next Thousand Year Reich. Now that the bureaucrat is able to prosecute the President for not following orders, the Constitution is mere toilet paper.

The deep absurdity of the bureaucracy, who derives its very authority directly from the President, and him through the Constitution, would indict a President for going against it, is astounding. Talk about cutting off the Branch you are sitting on. That other politicians are going along shows they are traitors to our Constitution. The courts that abet the crime are just as traitorous as Benedict Arnold. Of course, they probably don’t teach who Benedict Arnold was anymore, in Public schools. That might give kids a mistaken idea of what is patriotic and what is traitorous. Like selling US foreign policy to the highest bidder. Now that is an action that is not only traitorous but abetted by the traitorous administrative state. By Chris Wray trying to hide the fact then using insurrection by indictment to distract from it.

I pray all rational people write their representatives and senators, demanding the impeachment of every appointee, judge and bureaucrat that goes along with this coup. Because that is exactly what is happening. Our Constitutional government is undergoing a coup by the administrative state. With all the traitors to our Constitution in politics, the courts and the bureaucracy, the insurrection of the elite against our Constitution seems a sure thing. They have silenced the truth tellers and are using the courts to keep them silenced, the media is in their back pocket, social media has become a tool of manipulation, and the few who stand against them are under indictment, or impeachment. The elite have become titans, who have forgot the lesson of the titans… the bigger you are the harder you fall.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Limericks

Posted on June 9, 2023 by john

Dear Friends,

I have been writing limericks, composing them instantly puts me in flow, and only prose confronts absurdity.

 

It’s time for the deep state to go,

The filthy ten cent hoes,

Oppressing with might,

And no oversight,

They sold their very souls.

 

What else can I say,

About FBI director Wray,

The guy is corrupt,

And deeply moonstruck,

By the demon for which he plays.

 

A war is on the menu,

A burning milieu

With propaganda and fright,

They take away our fight,

And thus the culture wars continue.

 

There once was a guy from Delaware,

Who often into space he would stare,

Stumbling into power,

Helped by men that glower,

Becoming a puppet that is not aware.

 

From a black and twisted lectern,

With dark eyes and countenance stern,

Growls the pervert foul,

Notes from Hell’s bowl,

Preaching a religion post modern.

 

Charging Trump with a felony,

Was a hit against you and me,

The real power grab,

Are the corrupt bureaucrats,

On their way to corruptocracy.

 

Someday they will have to pay,

At the corrupted DOJ,

Exploiting authority,

And acting so horribly,

It’s time to put the criminals away.

 

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Burning For War

Posted on June 8, 2023 by john

Dear friends,

It seems to me, it takes two for peace, and only one for war. In the culture war, for example, the elite want war while the people want peace. So there will be culture wars, until the elite are driven to the peace table, by extinguishing their fervor for war. Both sides need to want peace for peace to break out. Since the elite are clearly committed to this war, they will not be dissuaded by a few threats by other elites. Criminals must be criminally prosecuted, for their actual crimes, and their feet held to the fire by a deluge of letters. If a populist refuses a subpoena, even when he or she has a legitimate reason to do so, the administrative state and the courts go after them, with gusto. Violating every civil and Constitutional Right there is in the process. Look at how the administrative state is going after Trump.

Their unhinged lawfare surpassed police harassment in 2016. Since then it has become insanity manifest. Trump handed an olive branch to the deep state. He gave them the top positions in every agency. Instead of backing down, they joined in their resistance to his leadership, policies and him. Then stabbed him in the back every chance they got. For their treachery, treachery that if done to the progressive faction would land someone in prison for life, and a permanent reputation as a scoundrel… they received zero consequences. Well, that’s not entirely true, they were rewarded with more power to abuse. This whole affair proves again, that the post modernist faction’s war on humanity is total, and they will not be brought to the peace table by negotiation or good will.

Historically, when there has been an invasion, the nation invaded did not seek to be invaded, they sought peace. The nation that invaded sought war, not peace, so war is what happened. No amount of peace seeking will stop someone intent on killing you. War is only brought to a close when the will of the aggressor is extinguished. When the Hutus slaughtered the Tutsi’s, their wrath was not slaked, until there were no more Tutsi’s to put to the machete. No amount of peace seeking from the Tutsi’s could have stopped it. In the case of Nazi Germany extinguishing the war fervor took the total destruction of the nation. North Korea will always be an existential threat to South Korea, until the thirst for blood of the emperor of the PRK is quenched. Peace takes two while war only takes one.

In the case of the elite’s war on humanity, they are every bit as committed as the Hutus, Nazis and Kim Jong mentally ill. To such people, slaughtering human beings is no moral obstacle, it’s a feature. Creating the Covid virus in a lab, was itself a crime against humanity, even had it not been released. Every death from that release, is on the hands of the elite involved, in the West and China, else knew about it and did nothing. They claim that is in the millions. The deaths from the untested vaccine that wasn’t, they now claim, is in the hundreds of thousands. More than died in the US War Between the States. Not counting the millions that have died of fentanyl overdose. Which means, the elite that are waging war on humanity, are more ruthless than Hitler, Stalin, Kim and Mao.

How to stop the war should be our top priority. Seeking peace will not work, Trump tried it and they are still clutching his throat, like a pit bull. They will not self police, that is proven true by the white washed Durham report. Elections have little consequence, as long as the elite decide who the victor is, through mail in election fraud. We still have the pen though. If we join voices in chorus to our representatives they will have to act. A spineless republican can ignore a few letters from irate constituents, because the millions in illegal campaign donations, will ore than make up for a few disgruntled voters. It will not, however, make up for thousands of angry constituents, and the lost votes that result. We would be pouring cold water on a fire. Cooling the burning for war in their bellies.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Relationship Between the People And The State

Posted on June 7, 2023 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the elite have decided that the people have no right to replace their government, but government, has every right to replace the citizenry. That’s why seeking a redress of grievances is now called insurrection. Anyone who wants different elites is a traitor, even as elites who want different people to rule, are brave pathfinders. In this way, the elite feel perfectly justified in replacing us, with people that would be better suited to their enlightened oligarchy. This is of course, a reversing of the right roles. Making the new premise… the people exist for the government, instead of, the government exists for the people. A daring innovation in human organization. This new foundational concept of the role of government, is the reason we are seeing our governments acting as they are.

The fundamental question is, does the state exist to serve the people, or do the people exist to serve the state? Wise philosophy, (Aristotle, Christianity and Confucianism) have had the premise that right government serves the society, wrong government serves itself. Our leaders have flipped the script so that right government serves itself while wrong government, dangerous populism, serves the interests of the people. While you and I may think the new paradigm is self serving of the elite, they see it another way. They view their role, as farmers of the world and thus the human race. A farmer will prune that which needs pruning, breed better animals through eugenics and pen the livestock for their own good. Otherwise, we would get into all sorts of trouble, and be subject to other predators.

Is the state a guide for the people or are the people a guide for the government? Us self interested grazing masses believe our opinion should matter. Especially where our future is concerned. The experts disagree. They, in their well educated opinions, believe that our opinions are too ignorant and biased to count. Their learned and educated opinions, on the other hand, are to be followed with religious fervor. Given that mindset, how could it be possible for government to act differently? Moreover, how could a State, run by experts, practiced in their field, take orders from the moron masses? That would be idiotic. Plus, the hoi polloi would demand their own interests be served, not the interests of the ruling elite. Obviously, that is a situation (populism) that cannot be tolerated.

Our rulers are as entitled to rule, as we are beneath the protections of humanity, justice and common sense. The idea, that just government serves at the suffrage of the people, is history. The people now exist at the suffrage of the government and thus the elite that run it. Government is paramount, the people, a secondary consideration. As it is in China, North Korea, Cuba, was in Nazi Germany, the USSR, etc… The elite see society as a body, the people are the body and the government is the brains. If a hand offends the brain, it is cut off and cast away. If a gall bladder endangers the brain, it is removed, and thrown to the dogs. The body exists to serve the brain in both the corpus and in society. So how could the body ever replace the head? It would instantly die. Except… the analogy is faulty.

Society is not a body, governments can be replaced, and we know this because of the empirical march of history. Not once has the removal of a government resulted in the immediate death of the nation, country or city state. The extermination of the people, on the other hand, has always resulted in the obliteration of the government as well. So we can conclude that in societies, the people are paramount, while the government is replaceable. Conflating the two is not only a fallacy, it is a dangerous mind virus. It’s a derriere hair thinking it is all important. That egoism leads the elite to every sin imaginable, pride, greed, envy, sloth, gluttony, lust and wrath. Their wrath is on display for all to see in the treatment of the Jan 6 protesters, who sought a redress of grievances… the lack of election integrity.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Freedom Diagram

Posted on June 4, 2023 by john

Dear friends,

It seems to me, there are three types of economic organization, or so we are told, two of them, communism and socialism are oligarchic in nature, while actual free enterprise is polity in action. If we diagram systems of government on two axis, the vertical one having freedom at the top and totalitarianism at the bottom, and the horizontal line having populism on the right and elitism on the left… almost every government that has existed has been in the lower left quadrant. Even the government of the US Founding Fathers. The government and the resulting economic system they created, and Adam Smith explained, was in the upper right of the lower left quadrant. All the others, socialism, communism, feudalism, etc… exist at the extreme bottom left corner.

Aristotle said there are three right forms of government, three wrong forms and an ideal form. In his famous book, Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle described his ideas on government. He said the three right forms are, Monarchy, Aristocracy and Polity. The three wrong forms are, tyranny, oligarchy and democracy. What the wrong forms have in common is, each of them rules for the benefit of the rulers. The right forms of government rule for the benefit of the whole of the citizenry. Monarchy and aristocracy exist on the left side of the graph, the elitist side. While polity exists on the right side, the populist side. Because under polity, the people rule, but under monarchy and aristocracy, the elite rule. The ideal government according to Aristotle, is Republican, the blending of the right forms.

Government can be populist or elitist. Put another way, government can be run by the elite or the people, all governments though, almost by definition, are run by the elites and experts. Populism is mistakenly defined as where the elites run the government ostensibly for the benefit of the people. Communism and socialism pretend to be populist in this way. Yet pragmatically, they have never existed for the benefit of the hoi polloi, they embrace totalitarianism. The Nazis supposedly represented the folkish state, the Chinese Communist Party supposedly represents the people, and the US bureaucracy supposedly protects the constitution. When in reality, all of them do the opposite of what they say. They are all run by and for the elite, not the people, so they are all elitist.

We all know governments fall on a scale of tyranny. Some let their people be pretty free while others are oppressively regulating. Lifting some on the vertical scale of the graph, but still hard to the elitist side. The elite, even in states where there is relative freedom, don’t like being questioned. Their expertise surpasses that of the average citizen. The adage by Linas Torvalds notwithstanding… Given enough eyes even the most hard to find bug is obvious. The experts need no eyes other than their own. As a result no government passes the center line of the elitist/populist horizontal axis. The US Started at, or perhaps slightly above the center line, but since the Woodrow Wilson administration, it has plummeted to near the bottom. Especially given the progressive innovation of mail in election fraud.

The upper right hand quadrant of that graph is utterly unexplored territory. (Other than ancient Athens). The experts would exclaim such populist ideas would lead to anarchy! Even as the so called populists cry that too much freedom would allow the rich to exploit the poor! They all agree, the elite need to have total power over us, to protect us from them. To that end the elite have maintained an education system that is political indoctrination. It doesn’t teach reading, writing, math or history, an AI app on your cell phone can do those things for you. Instead, they teach us to be hopeless, angry and confused. A better solution would be to educate kids to think for themselves… to create citizens capable of living under a government that exists at the upper right quadrant, for a real change.

Sincerely,

John Pepin
