The Cycle of Rise and Fall

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, every civilizational collapse that has ever happened, was the result of the elite destroying the very edifice they ruled. This is due to several factors. Our propensity to take for granted that which is given to us, the arrogance that comes of power and our innate yet false belief, that things will always go on as they are today. The way the elite corrode the edifice they set atop, is by turning away from the societal myth, using law as a political weapon, and excreting on it. Not once in human history has the fall come from the people, always from the elite, and those times that might be argued the people were so corrupt the fall became inevitable, when plumbed of truth, show the people were just following their leaders. Because every collapse is the result of bad leadership.

Saint Aquinas said that Routine is a gift from God, in that it allows us to do mechanistically, that which would take a great deal of thought otherwise. Routine and the expectation of routine leads to normalcy bias. On 911, people stayed at their desks and continued working until the towers fell, because of their normalcy bias. The elite are as susceptible to this as any of us. Which allows the elite to believe, no matter how they pervert the system to their own corrupt ends, it will always work fine, they are biased to thinking everything will always be “normal.” People in the West take for granted the extraordinary times we live in as ordinary. For tens of thousands of years, until the industrial revolution, humanity lived in perpetual want. That is normal, not our opulence, and normal is where we could end up.

Power grants those who have it with many benefits, the virtue of modesty is not one of them. People long accustomed to power become arrogant thinking they can do no wrong. Evidence of their ineptitude only reinforces their absolute confidence in themselves. Once there is a nexus of the arrogance of long held power, normalcy bias and presumption… the elite will destroy the very edifice that gives them authority. Unless limited somehow and enforced with draconian punishments the elite cannot help themselves. It is human nature. You and I are no different. Given long held power, our tendency to normalcy bias and the presumption, or taking for granted that which is given not worked for, we would be no different. It is how the elite always destroy a culture that is interesting though.

All cultures are created along side a cultural myth. That myth is the foundational ethos that gives a culture its resilience. The people adhere to that myth until they are divested of it by the elite. Since it is always the elite who abandon it first, thinking themselves too smart, cosmopolitan and sly, to fall for that old myth. That scorn flows downhill. Eventually even the lowliest street beggar has nothing but contempt for the ethos that sustains his culture. What do you suppose happens then? Once the elite realize they can use law as a weapon of political power, with impunity, why wouldn’t they? Only a fool would refuse to, allowing such a weapon to fall into the hands of an enemy. Then there is the open defecating on the system they stand atop. Smearing it with contempt, bile and excrement.

No culture, system or nation can withstand such a sustained attack from within for long. History shows they fail, slowly at first, then all at once. They are rarely, or maybe never saved, once the slow failure starts. Because the elite by that time are intractable. Filled with the arrogance of long held power, firm in their confidence in themselves and knowing in their hearts that everything will always be normal, such an elite cannot help but undermine the societal myth, smearing their system with scorn, while using law as a political weapon of mass destruction. It might be possible for the people to suddenly embrace virtue and put the elite in their place. More likely, any that try will end up in a gulag, like the Jan 6 protesters. Then from the rubble, the elite will whine, “How could this have happened?”

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Population Collapse? Start A War!

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, trading that which you need, for that which you have too much of, is stupid. So why is it then that the world is facing a demographic disaster, with a dearth of young people, yet the elite want to squander their lives in wars across the planet? On the face of it this seems stupid beyond reckoning. China not only has the oldest population on the planet but their population is projected to continue shrinking for decades. Russia also has a small and diminishing child bearing population. Europe is in worse shape than Russia yet NATO seems intent on war. The US is only keeping up with unlimited immigration, choosing to abort our children and import others to fill the gap. Under these demographic conditions, killing the youth by war, drugs and vaccine adverse events… just doesn’t compute.

China is facing a population collapse. The One Child Policy has not only slaughtered uncountable millions of Chinese people in the womb, but the pernicious incentive it set up has twisted the male to female ratio to a population collapsing deformation. If you think about it, in two decades when the Chinese population is projected to be at its lowest, if the CCP still exists, it will be faced with an empty nation. Which makes the spending of today’s youth for tomorrow’s empty land all the more absurd. Unless the CCP and Western elite are at heart actual enemies of the human species. Then it would make perfect sense to start a war to kill off the last of the child bearing. Either way, the result will be the same… if the CCP starts a war of expansion to conquer Taiwan.

Europe has aborted its way to demographic collapse. If it were not for the replacements from the Middle East Europe would already be facing severe depopulation. Since the replacements will not fight for NATO, the last of the European children will have to give up their lives in the war of expansion, to finally put down Putin. It will be well worth spending the last of Europe’s native children, to stop a mad man who has done such horrendous things as, overseen the resurgence of the Russian economy, brought the oligarchs to heel and restored the Russian sense of self esteem. I can see why the elite in the West want him gone. Such an example. Genocide of one’s own people, to punish a political foe makes perfect sense… if the elite are psychotically anti human. Otherwise, it is absurdity writ large.

Russia has rebuilt its military, I suppose to stop NATO’s advancement. Regardless of the reason, The Russian people need to spend their kids on the Donbass, like someone toothless needs a tooth brush. What if Russia fights a war with NATO so Taiwan can fall into the clutches of the CCP? Because that will be the result if a war starts in Ukraine. How does Putin rectify the crushing loss of his youth with the dubious gain of more land? Land that in a few decades will be empty of people due to the low fertility rate of the Russians. Who knows, perhaps Putin is driving NATO’s expansionism, who can tell with the pathological liars we have for a media. What we do know without a doubt, is that when you have too little of something, trading it for something you have too much of, is stupid.

If our overlords were the least human hearted, the CCP would be importing women from the Hell hole of North Korea, to be wives, instead of spending those boy’s lives on conquering land they don’t need. Europe and the US should concentrate on stopping abortion and fostering the family, instead of importing replacements, and Russia would stop honing that chip on its shoulder. Because, what good is it to rule the whole world, if no one is on it? What use is the machinery of another nation if your people are too few to run your own? I have put forth two possibilities, that the elite are stupid, else evil, but I wonder if there isn’t a third option. That the elite are both… so stupid, they trade what they need for what they have too much of, and gleeful at the slaughter, suffering and spectacle.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

This is Constitutional Rule?

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, we live in a day and age where what is clearly written in the Constitution is ignored, while that which is not written in it, is called sacrosanct constitutional law. The only rational conclusion one can reach from this, is that we live in post constitutional times, or post constitutional America. Probably the most pernicious form of arbitrary rule. To have the appearance of constitutional limitations when it is actually a cover for arbitrary rule. Which must devolve to adjudicating constitutional law depending on the political favor of the applicant. Which, not shockingly, is what we observe happening in our courts today. Not that it hasn’t always been a problem, but they are so blatant today, it has come out into the open. Exposing the ugly visage of oppression in rose lipstick.

No one can argue with a straight face, that the Second Amendment is followed, nor the First as it pertains to the press, Julian Assange, New York Post and Project Veritas, for examples. The First Amendment’s protection of freedom of religion has been perverted to freedom from religion. Protection in our personal papers has become a standing joke in the era of the NSA. Ask President Trump how attorney client privilege works today. January 6 was not an insurrection of the people, against a lawful authority, but of an unlawful authority against the Constitution’s First Amendment’s Right, to peaceably assemble for a redress of grievances. In that case, to address the mountains of evidence that the 2020 election was an open fraud. Instead the FBI created a false flag to discredit any investigation.

Meanwhile the Lucifer lobby is apoplectic about allowing states to ban abortion. They claim it is a blatant violation of the Constitution. Where is it written you may ask? No one really knows, ask a dozen constitutional lawyers and you will get two dozen answers. All of them word salad. We used to be told it was a protection of doctor patient confidentiality, but Obama care blows that story out of the water, with its provision requiring doctors to judge the suitability of their patients to own guns, and to report gun ownership of those deemed inept to the authorities. Regardless of its justification now, it is a wholly invented “constitutional right” that is now sacrosanct within the Lucifer lobby. The church of Satan is now demanding the courts admit abortion as a Religious Right. Moloch must be fed after all.

Arbitrary rule is how Aristotle defined tyranny. A philosopher once said that if you have to live under a tyranny, arbitrary tyranny is the worst. Because when tyranny is coded in law, at least even the tyrant must follow it, giving some recompense to the oppressed. In arbitrary tyranny however, the oppressed have no legal recourse… other than the charity of the oppressor. The thing about oppressors though, is that they tend to lack empathy. This is the case if the oppressor is a tyrant, oligarchy or democratic tyranny of the majority over the minority. Socrates was condemned by a free and fair democratic vote. One that was immediately rued after the sentence was carried out. Nonetheless, arbitrary rule, no matter what its instrument, is the worse form of government, especially when disguised as Constitutional rule.

You have to hand it to the elite in the US, to have so effectively perverted the Constitution into a document that enforces arbitrary rule, (the opposite of its intent), is pure genius. Evil genius to be sure but genius nonetheless. If any justice is to be served, the malevolent elite responsible for perverting our Constitution would be charged, tried and if guilty, sentenced as severely as a redheaded orphan. The mask is off, and everyone sees the hideous face of the oligarchy. As Emperor Palpatine, the more they use their evil power to pervert the Constitution, the uglier they get. Lacking any sense of self awareness they continue gleefully. The oligarchy becomes more repulsive by the moment, which will drive everyone from them, sooner or later. Bringing back actual Constitutional rule… if we demand it.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The January 6, 2020 Insurrection

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, on the one year anniversary of the January 6 protest, we need to set the record straight. The real insurrection was done months before, in the lead up to, and the fraudulent election of 2020. Where the elite made election fraud simple and effective. Then, to stop an investigation of their crime, the FBI created a false flag, using the unindicted “insurrection” leaders, like Ray Epps, who openly called for violence, (and was denounced at the time as a fed) yet still remains free. Even as Jan 6 trespassers are still in prison awaiting their speedy trial. The thousands of hours of video the elite are hiding is proof of a cover up. So, yes, January 6 did represent an insurrection, not of the people against a legitimate authority, but of an illegitimate authority against the people, our Constitution and polity.

Who ever heard of someone accused of trespassing awaiting trial in prison? A school shooter was recently let out on 25K bail, so why would the courts keep someone accused of trespassing in a penitentiary, when trespassing isn’t even a jailable offense? It makes no sense whatsoever… unless, they are in fact political prisoners. If a government treats two people accused of the same crime differently, then that government is engaging in arbitrary rule. If the different treatment is based on politics, which it usually is, then that government is using law as a weapon of political oppression. Such a government discredits itself by that action. Not only delegitimizing its rule but proving itself unworthy. People who exploit legitimate authority for illegitimate power must face criminal consequences.

What crime is more deleterious of the body politic, social cohesion and economic prosperity, than when government is so corrupt it uses law as a weapon of political oppression? Nothing, that’s what. How can anything be more corrosive of human welfare than such a corrupt government? Not a serial killer, nor a criminal underworld, not Bernie Madoff style fraud, nor Enron type accounting, there is no crime that is more destructive of everything we hold dear, than election fraud and the corruption that follows. Because government corruption leads to genocide, war and famine. Where the victims are not a person, a few people or even a segment of society, but everyone. That the crimes committed by government are not a mere inconvenience, but mortal, means they must be limited through draconian punishment.

There is a mountain of evidence of the election fraud in several states with extremely close vote counts. Which makes the ad homonym attacks on anyone who brings them up kind of absurd. Especially since the democrats doing the attacking… question the legitimacy of every election they lose. Simply the appearance of shutting down vote counting, half way through, then taking days to count the remaining votes, hidden from view… smacks of corruption. Moreover, had a republican state done this, and the election results changed from democrat with a comfortable lead, to a republican with a narrow victory, democrat operatives would have staged a literal insurrection. Worse than the summer of love or Trump’s inauguration. It would have taken more than two divisions of army to protect the fraudsters.

Then there is the Gretchen Whitmer FBI false flag that is falling apart. That scandal has the same trajectory as the Jan 6 plot. Where the FBI set up innocent people, funded, planned and orchestrated the “crime,” only to make a political point just before an election, and jail a few innocent people with the wrong political ideas. That same thing appears to be happening in the Jan 6 “insurrection.” Where the FBI planned and orchestrated it then covered up their involvement. Crimes that would put you or I in prison for decades. There needs to be a reckoning about January 6, the FBI’s role, the instructions Nancy Pelosi gave to the Capital police, the deaths of the protesters, and the release of all video, plumb the sewer… then make examples of the guilty elite.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Censorship, Appeal To Authority and Political Correctness

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the elite’s break from enlightenment philosophy is so complete, appeal to authority is the only argument that is allowed. It is either ironic or diabolic, how the new class, people who’s training is all about classic liberal philosophy, have not only abandoned that school of thought but actively attack it. Even turning on the Nuremberg code, to inject a substance that has not been fully tested into everyone, and if the new Pfiser whistle blower’s claims are true, wasn’t correctly tested at all. Similar to the elite that derive their authority from the Constitution yet undermine it with every breath. Perhaps as Dr Malone says, it’s mass formation psychosis, maybe they are mesmerized by post modernism, or taught stupidity but it is clear, the elite across the world have lost their collective minds.

The foundation of the academy is supposed to be the enlightenment principles of; the scientific method, open discourse, freedom of thought, freedom of speech and abandoning appeal to authority. Today, our colleges and universities have reversed these foundational principles to; an infallible deity called “The Science,” silencing hate speech, political thought police, the only people allowed to speak are the authorities and only the authorities with the correct political bent. A complete reversal of the historic ethos at the academy. Since this claptrap is taught to the youth, almost universally in our public schools, colleges and universities, those inculcated generally believe it. Dealing with the cognitive dissonance holding such conflicting ideas bring, with rage against the patriarchy.

Such nonsense has been taught to our kids for decades now, which means, most of the elite have been schooled in hating the US and everything about it, only loving the Enlightenment for its evolution, Hegel and skepticism about God. To stay in the good graces of the campus thought police, one must engage in an hour of hate a day, screaming all that frustration out… at everything good the Enlightenment stood for. How could it be possible for them to be any different? No wonder most of the elite today despise the very things that give them authority in the first place. Being so maleducated, they believe the power they wield is somehow owed to them, for being born in the aristocracy. A return to the rights of kings, aristocratic prerogative and us a permanent plebeian class, for our own good.

How do we know that appeal to authority is embraced by the elite today? By the open censorship of anyone with a dissenting point of view. If the point of view of a dissenter is absurd, everyone will see it, and ridicule will soon follow. If however, the point of view of a dissenter is valid and the narrative advanced by the elite absurd, the ridicule will flow to the elite’s absurdity. Since dissenting voices are objectively being silenced by the corporatist social media giants, Trump, MTG, Dr Malone, etc… it follows that the corporatists who are censoring people for not having the proper credentials, even when they do, are pushing a false narrative. When only authorities, fully licensed, credentialed and authorized by the elite, are allowed to speak, that is the definition of appeal to authority.

That our elite have totally broken with Enlightenment principles, except atheism, cannot be denied. That so many don’t recognize it, especially those who should, is a testament to how blind the elite have become. Like people who go on and on about how much they hate cigarettes and reek of them at the same time. How many professors today even consider debate instead of appeal to authority? I bet not a one. If an elite with a whole alphabet of credentials, tells them the sky must be green (showing the work) and grounds keeper Willy looks up and says the sky is blue, the professors will go with the green sky every time, because, appeal to authority. Since the elite have abandoned the very foundation of their authority, in every way, it is time to view their authority… as illegitimate. Until they legitimize it.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Distraction Of Enemies

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, an age old strategy of despots in the process of ruining a society, culture and ethos, is to distract the people with a foreign enemy. The fear that a foreign enemy creates in the masses, is usually sufficient to keep our eyes diverted from our own lot, and how it is decreasing. This is one of the main reasons the entire national security apparatus exists. Magic operates the same way, the magician diverts the attention of the audience to one place, while he does his magic in another. It works because we are animals that focus. When we focus on a thing we see it to the minutest detail, but sacrifice all detail of anything outside that field of focus. Why else is a nerd getting hit in the glasses with a basket ball a meme? Yup… distraction is a tyrant or oligarch’s best friend, as we see today in the West.

I have to wonder aloud, why is Russia such a threat? So much so that NATO insists on marching to Moscow? What deep interest do I personally have in sending people’s children to die in the cold snow on the other side of the planet? I don’t see any. Do you? Nevertheless, the elite have some great need to send our kids to die or be maimed in Ukraine, and they appear unwilling to take no for an answer. The fact Russia has enough nuclear weapons to literally blow up the world is no impediment. In fact, the threat of nuclear annihilation is a benefit to them, for the fear factor. What we have in the Ukrainian situation is the result of the elite, making someone an enemy, who is rightly an opponent. When a three year old does this, we say they are unsocialized, when a government does it, we go to war.

The trouble in Taiwan is the result of piss poor planning on the part of the elite. I mean, seriously? Are they that stupid? Or are they malevolent? Either way, had we kept up with our relations with Taiwan, regardless of the Communist’s reaction, Taiwan, with 75% of the world’s semiconductor manufacturing, wouldn’t be facing imminent invasion by the CCP. Had we armed them to the teeth, the CCP would have whined, but all they would have sent our way would have been pointed words, acerbic sentences and foul language. Since the elite did nothing in the face of the CCP buildup of their war machine, mirroring the Nazis rebuilding the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine. In fact, in both cases, paid for by Wall Street. Which, you have to admit, makes the problem entirely the fault of the elite.

What would be the distraction the elite created foreign enemies to distract us from? Anyone asking this question proves the utility of distraction. Some might point to the crisis at the boarder. Which is a crisis for the people but apparently an opportunity for the hegemonic progressive faction. Others could complain about the inflation that exceeds Carter’s stagflation. The slowdown in the economy, the supply chain stoppage, opioid overdoses, unconstitutional covid restrictions and mandates, are other issues that the elite might want to distract us from. Then there is the open election fraud made possible by mail in voting. A practice that is banned in any sane country that actually values polity. These are a few examples of things the elite might want to distract us from… with a foreign war or two.

If you think about it, and most are loath to, any elite that would kill, maim and mentally hobble kids to hide their failings, don’t deserve mercy… since they have none. You have to answer for yourself, if the elite are in fact creating foreign enemies, to distract us from national issues. Moreover, lacking all those evil enemies, why would we need a national security apparatus, that violates the very foundational ethos of our system of government, as explained by our Constitution, the Federalist Papers and the Anti Federalist Papers? Good thing we have enemies then, else we could enjoy the freedoms set forth in the Constitution, unfettered by the utterly corrupt NSA, CIA and FBI. Call me provincial, but I think we should stay free of all foreign entanglements, they are distractions that lead to oppression.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Corruptocracy and Corruptocrats

Dear Friends,

It seems to me… corruption begets corruption, not only vertically but laterally. As a bad apple spoils a barrel of apples, a corrupt politician who gets away with it, quickly spoils the whole elite. The more public the offense ignored, the more destructive to the body politic, because it emboldens others to be as corrupt. Since people follow their leaders, if our leaders are corrupt, all of society will follow and be corrupt as well. Moreover, the more corrupt the elite are, the less they will enforce the laws among themselves, except as a political weapon. It all starts with one member of the elite getting away with corruption. That is why we must be utterly intolerant of even a hint of corruption in government, especially in our own faction, for if we allow it among ourselves, how can we condemn it in others?

People are self interested. Carneades once said in the Forum, and I paraphrase from memory, “Mankind imposed upon himself a set of laws as an expedient, for men being like animals, each striving for his own self interest, make justice impossible, because for a man to be just he would have to do violence to his own self interest.” How much more so when someone is above that law? One of equal station to another, who is flouting the law, morals and constitution with impunity, will wonder what is wrong with themselves for falling behind, in virtue, while he gets ahead in vice? The moment this paradigm begins, all is lost, unless it is reversed. Sadly, reversing corruption becomes more difficult the deeper it oozes into the system, since then… anyone in a position to clean it, has a stake in maintaining it.

Corruption cannot help but flow downhill. Up and comers emulate those above, not those below. They dress as their superiors, go to the same parties, talk the same, use the same jargon and laugh at the boss’s jokes. If the boss is corrupt, the bootlicks will follow and be corrupt as well. A corrupt person always feels most comfortable dealing with the corrupt, (due to mutually assured destruction) so the corrupt flunky will get promoted, at the expense of the stakeholders, good governance and more competent choices. As each level of elite get saturated with corruption that corruption must then saturate the next level below. Eventually, everyone in the system becomes corrupted and the system fails to function. Not because of an inherent flaw in the system but because of the nature of mankind.

How can people do business once society has become utterly corrupt? The short answer is, we cannot. In a society that has become corrupted top to bottom, contracts are irrelevant if one party has the means to have a team of attorneys nullify them, doing business on a handshake would become an anachronism, stores would face constant theft by a myriad of ways, as the thieves wouldn’t face prosecution, riots would rage uncontested by the “authorities,” razing businesses to the ground without insurance covering it, election fraud would be obvious and rampant, along with other clear signs of a culture crumbling before your very eyes. Clearly, an economy cannot function at anywhere near its natural capacity under such conditions. It must be hobbled by the corruption.

Encouraging virtue in the masses is a war of attrition against an overwhelmingly powerful foe. No matter how many times you shower and mop the floor, if raw sewage is dripping from above, it is impossible to keep clean. Every great empire, culture or nation that has ever risen in virtue, has fallen in vice. They become a corruptocracy run by corruptocrats. The corruptocrats have become so bold they don’t even try to hide their corruption. Punching down as in the Jan 6 trespassers. We can push back however. If enough of us are swayed, by Jordan Peterson and others, to lead by example while cleaning the government of corruption… it is possible to fix it. The next challenge though, the intractable one, is how do we prevent it from happening again? A Numa might be helpful.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The “Populist” Elite


Dear Friends,

It seems to me, a common thread that runs through human history, is that factions start out as populist, then evolve to elitist, which drives the people to start another populist movement. The reason they evolve to become elitist is because “the people,” once they have gained power, are too numerous and distant from the levers to rule, so they hire agents to implement their populist agenda, the new elite. That agenda becomes perverted by the new elite to their own ends. At some point, the people realize the faction they started, to implement a populist agenda, is in fact implementing an elitist one instead. The masses either submit, vote the dirt bags out, else storm the castle with pitch forks and torches. Creating a new populist movement, then hiring some elite to implement their agenda…

Some examples of movements that started as populist that became elitist, are Lenin’s Bolsheviks, Hitler’s Nazis and Mao’s Red Guards. You can go as far back in history as you want. Rome’s People’s Tribunes, rather than balancing the elite, became the elite, seeking their own interests instead of the people’s, which led to Marius and Sulla’s fratricide. If I put baking soda in vinegar, I will observe a foaming, as the reaction produces carbon dioxide. Every time I do it, the same reaction occurs. By the scientific method then, because it is an empirically observable and reproducible event, we consider it empirical truth. Since every populist movement becomes elitist, without exception, we can conclude this is also an empirical truth. Arguing it may not in the future discredits chemistry as effectively.

Many populist ideas are actually elitist ones that were sold to the people as their own. Every Marxist revolution, for example, has been led by overly educated half witted Machiavellians, and soldiered by peasants. Nowhere there is a functional market system, have the malevolent brainiacs been able to gin up a revolution. They have, as in the case of Obama’s mentor, Bill Ayers, been able to detonate bombs, maiming and wounding low level elite, but that only alienated the people they were trying to recruit. In functional revolutions, the elite sold the idea of communism to illiterate peasants, like any good swindler. People raised in a capitalist culture, however, know better than to buy a pig in a poke. So the elite are replacing our capitalist culture with a socialist. To make that pig in a poke look appealing.

Since the problem is the “populist” elite, once in power, turn on the people who put them there, maybe we could put the elite under surveillance, like they do us now, the results posted on the internet in real time and recorded. Then the elite will know they are being watched. It certainly cannot be as expensive to monitor them as it is for them to monitor us. Nor would it be a greater intrusion into their lives, than them watching our daughters take a shower, through her cell phone camera. The national security argument is as hollow as it is a lie. If the elite followed our constitution no nation would dare attack us. With a camera, microphone and no way to turn them off in every office, conference room and hallway, it would be hard to be corrupt. They would try… but they would also be caught for it.

Surveillance is only effective if it comes with consequences. That the elite openly defy their own laws, even as they use those laws to go after their political enemies, shows the arbitrariness of enforcement. If surveillance is used to empower a single faction, rather than enforce the law and constitutional limits, it is a tool of tyranny. As when Pericles used the Ostracism against his political enemies, setting up the Athenian culture, ethos and system, to be destroyed by Alcibiades. Any elite exposed breaking the law, must be punished to the full extent of the law… just as the system would a poor person. Along with actual punishments for crimes there needs to be consequences for undermining the Constitution. Anything less continues to empower a pathological elite at the expense of humanity.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

When The Extraordinary Becomes Ordinary

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, that the extraordinary has become commonplace, means we live in extraordinary times. So much of what we don’t bat an eye at, even a decade ago, would have shocked the most progressive person. I have often said, if you live in a sewer you cannot but help smelling like it, you don’t notice it… and we live an example. We go about our daily lives masked, with multiple clearly worthless vaccinations, socially distanced, tolerating a spike in suicides, overdoses and thought crimes, as we get our Soma from the TV news every night. The list of absurdities we accept as normal, the new normal if you will, are astounding. The extraordinary has indeed become commonplace today, proving that we do live in extraordinary times. The question now becomes… what are we going to do about it?

Could you have imagined twenty years ago that critical race theory would be taught in our public schools? The cringe fringe was already lionizing dingle berries like Mao, Che and Marx, but everyone thought them nutcases. Especially when the lesson of the Twentieth Century is that communism is a failed system. Today, the former fringe is the hegemony in our public schools, higher education and the agencies that regulate them. People preaching in the public schools, on Martin Luther King day, that we must not judge people by the content of their character but by the color of their skin, and no one shrieks at the absurdity, is truly astounding. I wonder if any public High school today has an industrial arts program, home economics or art classes? Now that is pretty extraordinary.

What does the War on drugs have in common with the war on terror? The elite lost them both. The year the US entered the War on Terror in 2001, the drug overdose deaths in the US were around 20,000, last year they were around 100,000. Clearly, the drugs were far more wily, smart and effective, than the government officials… paid well over 100k a year with gold plated benefits and an 80% retirement. Obviously the bureaucrats were not paid well enough to do their job. Meanwhile they were busying themselves with losing the war on terror. When the US fled Afghanistan the Taliban were in much better position than when the US invaded. Never mind the American kids who died, were wounded, have PTSD and the suffering of uncountable others. Both examples are just extraordinary.

The progressive faction has one thing it is exceptional at, and their response to the Wuhan Flu is the epitome of it… failure. The death rate in 2021 has been higher than in 2020! Despite the “effective” vaccine. The falsity that the unvaccinated are the cause is proved a lie by the facts. When no one was vaccinated, there were fewer deaths, than when most are? Proving the vaccinations are worthless, at least at stopping the spread, severity and death rate of the Rona. Since people were better off without the vaccines. Maybe, if it doesn’t work thrice… take it a dozen times? Sooner or later it might… or not. Regardless, it is handy as a reason to implement a Beast system, complete with a Mark. Even a zealot has to admit, a higher death rate when we supposedly have vaccines, is extraordinary.

Now that you realize we live in a sewer, and smell like it, are you going to get out and take a shower? How about doing something to change the extra ordinary times we live in… to more normal times? Setting on the couch, eating Cheetos and watching masked singer… while complaining to our spouse about the cost of the Cheetos, hasn’t worked. We need to become active. Contact your representatives, senators and the President. Don’t count on those who gave us these extraordinary times to get us back to normal though. “Rotten wood is no good for carving…” -Confucius. Get involved in the primaries. They are where the action is. Bring in new blood, zealous for the fight and true in their love of the US, our Constitution and the people. If we do, instead of complain… we can get back to normal.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Wonder of CRT

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, critical race theory (CRT) is about splitting the races, attacking merit, and putting the minorities back in their place… while manipulating them into doing it themselves. We all know this to be true in our hearts. The proponents of that racist, foul and loathsome philosophy are plowing up ground that was settled decades ago. We as a culture, people and nation decided that “separate but equal” is anything but, all races are equal, and that boys are boys and girls are girls. A close friend of mine, Big John… told me BLM riots are driving a wedge between black and white. Then added, he had lived through those times and had no desire to go back. Isn’t that exactly what the advocates of CRT want, a return to segregation, open racism and dehumanization of people… based on an irrelevant trait?

Any ideology that teaches hate is the antitheses of human hearted. CRT is all about hate. All their ideas depend on hate, enhance their hatred and are hateful. When was the last time you saw love in the eyes of someone vomiting CRT? The only love in their eyes is the love of human suffering. No one rips someone down to build them up, they rip someone down… to rip them down. How is teaching children that whites are all racist and that only whites can be racist, is in any way redeeming, or could lead to redemption? No, it rips down a race, to rip down that race. No more no less. That we allow an ideology that teaches hate, heartlessness and vengeance, to be taught in the schools, is a strike against us. That people who would teach it, exist at all, is a strike against the nature of Mankind.

Critical race theory teaches, all white people are inherently racist, and that only white people can be racist… which are such obviously racist statements, they trigger cognitive dissonance in those who must believe to get along. Since so many youths today are wired to go along to get along, they take the nonsense into themselves, suppress the internal tension with anger, and finally becoming a zealot for the cause. When living on a landscape that is constantly changing, it becomes easier to be a non player character, learning not to think for oneself, than to risk the inadvertent retribution of those taught to be hateful, heartless and vengeful. Since such people are not tolerant of other viewpoints, being so certain theirs is the moral one, they silence the rest, by violence if necessary.

A recent story claimed that 90% of hate speech on Facebook was directed at Whites. Facebook solved the problem by changing the algorithm… not to notice hate speech directed against Whites. Then there is the open racism against Asians. Intentionally limiting their participation in the universities of their choice. Not based on merit but because they over achieve (envy). Progressives even claim that math is racist. Because Asians and Whites are supposedly better at it than other races. Making one wonder if the real problem the progressive, post modernist CRT pushers really have… is with merit? Envy after all is the progressive’s greatest sin. Since they cannot come out against merit, everything becomes about race, as a proxy to merit. So thoroughly do post modernists hate merit and love political favor.

That the main proponents of CRT are rich white patricians, is not ironic, it’s diabolic. The old adage, “from shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations…” is a problem for the elite. CRT is a means to bypass that fate for the half witted offspring of the malevolent rich. To that end the elite have ordered Critical Race Theory taught in the schools, inculcated on television and through the movies. Clearly CRT is not about race, but against merit, since a person of any race can be a “white supremacist,” for wrongthink. White and Asian people are inherently “supremacist,” for excelling in math, as Black and Brown people are hailed as perpetual “victims…” the foundational premise of CRT. Dehumanizing everyone. By elevating race above humanity, like Kung Sung Lung’s White Horse.

Sincerely,

John Pepin
