INCAPP Endorses Canada’s PPC

Posted on September 19, 2021 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, if Canada is to get out of the government imposed economic, cultural and societal doldrums, the Canadian people need to vote for Maxime Bernier as Prime Minister of Canada, and elect a tsunami of People’s Party of Canada, (PPC) candidates to office as well. Like David Freiheit of Westmount. The PPC is a freedom oriented populist party. It is the only faction in Canada that is against arbitrary lock downs, vaccine passports that mimic the Mark of the Beast, curfews, mandates and arresting pastors on highways by SWAT. The conservatives, liberals and Greens are all elitists. They think, heck, they know they are better than you. So why shouldn’t they make all your decisions for you? The PPC trusts you, not the so called “experts,” to make the calls. I do too. Do you?

I am so not shocked the libertarian was denied a seat at the debate table. The establishment parasites know that free market ideas are like Ivermectin to them. Deadly. When peddling a lie, you have to hide the truth, and denying the truth tellers a seat at the table is one way to do that. Another manipulation the elitists do to us is deciding what is relevant. Not to our lives but to advance their power. Global warming has been touted, by the elitists, as the biggest threat to Mankind. Never mind not one prediction has panned out. The ice free arctic by 2000, empty glacier national park gone by 2020, and the vanishing Maldives gone by 2010, were a bust. Every failed prediction is proof their theory is wrong. The science just isn’t with them…. power politics is. A consensus is political… not scientific.

Elitists are always socialists, whether national socialist, democratic socialist or international socialist, they always want to rule, not lead. Moreover, this crop of elitist socialists are globalists. In the government sense, not in the trade sense, one world government types. Not just in Canada, but every Western nation’s government is riddled with them, traitors by another name. Anyone who seeks the overthrow of his nation’s government, for a different one… is a traitor. Making all globalists, at their core, traitors. The Liberals, Greens and even conservatives are openly elitist, with a strong undercurrent of globalism as well. Now imagine socialism on a global scale, run by elitists who think they are better than us, without oversight or accountability. Does that sound like it would create utopia… or dystopia?

Many people want to be ruled. They behold the life of a dog or cat and envy its leisure. Sleeping on the sofa all day, with a bowl of food and water, and a few chew toys scattered about. To some, that is the life, to a human being… that is the life of livestock. How unbelievably bored we would get. I imagine dogs get bored too, that is why they sometimes destroy things. People would be no different. If presented with an Eden of comfort, without meaning or purpose, we would quickly start smashing things… just to see what happens. The unwise however don’t understand this truth. To them, a cradle to grave hammock sounds great, who wouldn’t want that? They don’t understand why there are signs at parks that say, “Do not feed the animals.” The elite however want you to want to be dependent.

Whether or not Maxime Bernier gets in, if there is a wave of PPC candidates that win, and especially if he gets close, the establishment will either wake up, else resort to vote fraud, as In the US. If you think Canadians would not accept that, look at what they have accepted to now, then think again. Mail in voting has been very effective in the US at enabling election fraud. It maybe an innovation that we will export soon. The only party that would reliably stand against such an “innovation,” in Canada, would be the PPC. In the end, Canadians have to ask themselves, “Am I capable, able and apt enough to run my own life, or would I prefer the boring life of livestock?” Answering that question will help you decide to vote PPC, or any other party. Since all the others are elitists who would make you livestock.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Justice in Social Hierarchies

Posted on September 17, 2021 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, what a person can do, is largely determined by where they are on the social hierarchy. Low status people, who’s very existence is met with punches, kicks and ridicule, are not allowed foibles. On the other hand. Those high in status are given carte blanch. Meanwhile, if a low status person is picked to death, no one loses a moments rest over it. While if a high status person is harmed, in any way, we lament it as if it were us who had that misfortune. We identify with our leaders not our subordinates. This is the natural state of affairs in human societies. Not limited to harming individuals, this “norm” becomes truly malevolent, when it is applied to “groups.” Political favor, if you will, decides if you or your “group,” are acceptable or not… and thereby corrodes our humanity.

Someone high in the social hierarchy can do things that would not be tolerated if done by lower status people. Smoking a cigarette in a no smoking area, using an electronic device in an airplane or dressing up in black face. While if a lower status person did any of those things, not only would the outrage be omnipresent, but that low status person would be picked to death. Barak Obama is a well known smoker. While he and his party outlawed smoking on public property, he was not held to that standard. There are numerous stories out there of powerful men abusing waitresses in public, using electronic devices on a plane, and being regularly stopped for DUI, ending with the police bringing them home. Rest assured, if you or I did any of those things, the punishment would be severe and quick.

Extreme cases often sharpen a point. The Hunter Biden laptop for example. In it, there is reported to be proof of several class A felonies, quite a few felonies and numerous misdemeanors. The government is not at all interested in investigating his crimes though. Don’t worry, if you recorded yourself having sex with a teen, the government would move heaven and Earth to prosecute you for it. Hunter Biden… not so much. Because he is a high status individual. Not in and of himself, but because of his group. He has sufficient political favor to get away with nearly anything. Meanwhile, Donald Trump entered office under investigation by a Special Investigator over a hoax, was impeached for a phone call about Biden’s actual crimes, and the FBI created a riot to stop an investigation into his stolen election.

On a smaller scale, if you showed up to a party in blackface, most of the people there would vilify you as a racist. Governor Ralph Northram and Prime minister Justine Trudeau have, and it was a hoot. (When they did it). The pictures haven’t made a dent to their reputations. Because they are too high status to be held to that standard. Which all goes to show, a high status person is praised for doing things, a lower status person would be criminally punished for. While it is an example of injustice, it is more illustrative of a fundamental flaw in human nature. That we have different standards for people, including legal, moral or cultural, depending on their political favor… not what they do. Try deleting a laptop hard drive under indictment then smashing it with a hammer and see how you are treated.

The first step to solving a problem is to address it. That we allow our “leaders,” to do things they would punish us for, shows a weakness in us. Stop allowing it. Violence is perfectly acceptable, for those with political favor, the same holds true of groups. A member of a politically favored group can strike someone of a lower group, and get away with it, and if that lower status person struck back, the consequences would be severe. Speak up, become a leader, and expose our character flaw. We follow our leaders in virtue or vice. When our leaders act out, without punishment, that is an incentive for us to act the same way. Making the malevolent unpunished acts of our social, political and cultural leaders, and our following their examples… destructive to humanity itself. Demand they be punished.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Illusion of Democracy is Tyranny

Posted on September 15, 2021 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, now that the democratic element of the US Constitution is null and void, our overlords can get to the real job of despotism. Oh, there are a few places where the people’s vote still count, but progressives are rectifying that at the federal level. How do we know the democratic element of the US Constitution is now null and void? The last two elections. The astounding fraud that took place in 2020 is only now coming to light. The more ugly truths that rise from the slime the more people are revolted. With the 2021 California election the question is answered. When people show up to vote, and are told they already have, not one or two but hundreds by the reports, it is hard to argue that there wasn’t significant fraud. All that really counts to despots though… is the appearance of democracy.

With the ways propagandists have come up with to manipulate the people, you would hardly think there is a need for open election fraud… but apparently there is. The replacement plan is too long term to assure permanent power yet, and people are waking up, so democrats have been reduced to election fraud. Thank Lucifer for the “unbiased media.” Having lost the debate, the pragmatically catastrophic failure of their ideas in the Twentieth Century, and without the moral authority to lead an ant farm, democrats must undermine democracy. When people show up to vote, and their ballot has been cast, that is prima facie proof of election fraud. The pile of stolen ballots found in a drug addict’s car notwithstanding. How many vote fraud cases do you suppose Soros DAs will prosecute?

Once a faction has monopoly control, and doesn’t need a mandate to rule, there is no need to meet any of the needs of the people, we are the enemy. Politics is politics, those at the top help those who helped them, and harm those that stood in their way. This paradigm is enhanced when the politicians are psychopaths. That is why politics is so vindictive… there are so many psychopaths in it. So, I ask you, why would a psychopath do anything for someone they consider an enemy? They wouldn’t. So don’t expect any advancements made on our societal ills, the overdose epidemic, pandemic, crime, taxes, oppressive edicts, unending wars, economy, terrorism, illegal immigration, inflation, or election fraud. Plan instead on those problems getting much much worse… because they serve the faction in control.

Any faction that relies on election fraud to gather power, is not only a usurper, but a swindler and true villain. I don’t see how anyone could argue they are heroes. Disenfranchising a nation, to gain power over it, is not the action of a good person. That is what evil people do. Should imps have any authority at all, let alone unlimited rule over a nation of people, they hate? Evil people should be kept away from power, and preferably, on the business end of a mop. If they miss a spot, oh well, but if they nuke the world, that is another level of failure. Plus, if they are so malevolent they can steal elections without remorse, what else are they capable of doing, without remorse? Maybe, manipulating kids into self sterilization, murdering millions of unborn, or importing heroin that kills tens of thousands a year?

As our political power wanes, we better use the last of it as best we can, to get a handle on election fraud. The democrat party is going all in, federalizing elections, so we will NEVER have another free and fair election again. We must stand for democracy. Write your worthless representative and senators, protest, participate in a general strike if anyone can get one going, talk to your neighbors, organize people, hold people criminally accountable, elect constitutionalist sheriffs, go to meetings, disobey, stand and be heard. If we let democracy slip from our fingers, what does that make us… the generation that failed to keep our most basic of Rights, followed shortly by the rest. Elections only bestow legitimate authority when they are real. Illusions, conjured by usurpers, only appear legitimate.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Jihadi Atheists

Posted on September 12, 2021 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, everything has a nature, and its opposite has the same nature, it is just the reverse. On its most basic level, a proton has an opposite, an anti proton. They have the exact same nature, the only difference is that the polarity is opposed. An electron also has a polar opposite, a positron. As in the proton and the anti proton, the positron has the same nature as the electron, in all but polarity. By the same nature, I mean, they behave the same. A positron acts exactly the same as an electron in the real world. This logic scales up to the macro world as well. A communist and capitalist have opposite ideas how an economy is best run, the elitist, top down command economy, communist approach, or the complex, bottom up, self organizing free market one… but both are economic theories.

Capitalism versus socialism are not the only dichotomies that are out there. There is the atheist versus religious. The atheist would have you think… atheism is not a belief. Then follow their self serving argument with an attack, to push in the point. Regardless of their ad homonym way of arguing, their nature is no different from a Jihadi, crusader or missionary. Just as the nature of an anti proton is no different than a proton, only their polarity is reversed. Just because a person is anti religious doesn’t mean they don’t have beliefs. That would make them inhuman. I believe it best not to attribute super human abilities, character or qualities to anyone. Making Atheism as much a belief as Judaism, Islam or Buddhism. (The “ism” at the end of the word is another clue it is a belief).

The most ardent atheist is a missionary for atheism, using our schools, culture and regulation. One of the outcomes of a strictly secular school system is that it produces secular graduates. You could say that the atheist public school system, preaches atheism, just as a parochial school is supposed to inculcate Catholicism, but now teaches atheism. To protect their tax free status and to be up with the times. Maybe it’s a sign of the times? Who knows? Making our schools, even some that claim to be religious, that are introducing kids to atheism, more accurately called, churches of atheism. Now, I have to admit, our culture doesn’t so much preach atheism, although that is an underlying theme of most family shows today, it openly advocates for Satanism. A religion of the same polarity as atheism.

The atheist is more like the socialist than the capitalist, in that they seek to enforce their theology by fiat and the apparatus of the state. While most religions prefer a complex, self organized free for all of theologies. Each vying for adherents in a free market of religions. No matter if any individual religion is extremely hierarchical within itself. Because, at their core, religions believe they have the right answer. Others, good as they may be, are doomed to Hell. All religions then believe in their message, that since it is the right one, people will naturally gravitate to it. All they need do is tell people the good news. Atheists on the other hand… don’t. 12 years to convert our kids, and the culture to further pervert them, and even that is insufficient. So they use the apparatus of the state to enforce their doctrine.

The Jihadi Atheist is the extreme end of the atheist anti religion. To them, there can be no limits, because they are saving the world from religion. They know they cannot win the argument. Even with all those years of preaching their belief, it fails. Because people need to believe in something worthwhile, we need meaning and purpose. All atheism has to offer is a miserable, angry, nihilistic, meaningless and hedonistic life, then perhaps something far worse. Even a child has the wisdom to back away from that abyss. On the religious polarity, there is meaning, an answer to the question of suffering, and a path to the best life a human being can have. It’s time we stopped allowing the Jihadi Atheists to call the shots. Look where they are trying to lead us… the reverse of where we want to go.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Convergence Of Chaos… Can You Feel It?

Posted on September 10, 2021 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, when I go out lately, I have noticed a tension in the air, it didn’t use to be there, but it is almost palpable today. I think this tension is a result of the convergence of chaos that has engulfed us. Two years ago, 2019, everything was great. “Our future was so bright we had to wear shades.” Then came the Wuhan flu, that, as it turns out, you and I paid to create. Governments across the planet have exploited the fear, generated by the CCPandemic, imposing extra constitutional measures, to “stem the virus.” We have been told every night in the news how deadly this virus is, and to prove it, look at the nursing home deaths in NY. Next we have been cajoled into taking part in a species wide experiment, and if we don’t, we will not be able to buy or sell. All in two years… no wonder people are edgy.

The Corona is only one part of what is making us squirrelly, there is the now exposed election fraud of 2020, the economy, unlimited illegal immigration, inflation from trillions in money printing coupled with government incentives not to work, the Afghanistan disaster, and a President who clearly has dementia, with a Vice President who is obviously unfit, since even her own party booted her from the primary by voting for, anyone else. Faced with the ugly truth, the media is not unbiased, no matter how much they claim to be, then lament the loss of their ability to manipulate us. Many people have lost faith in the medical establishment, with the lies they have told us during this pandemic, how can we trust them in anything again? Yea, that might have something to do with why people are nervous lately.

Folks I have talked to profess to be depressed, anxious and out of sorts. I have heard small business owners complain people are mean lately. Waitresses have quit. Business is off too. People who would have been kind two years ago, today, they flip out at the least problem. An anger, angst and apathy seems to be flowing through the zeitgeist. It has got to the point that crying in the shower, at the fear instilled in us by the media that calls itself unbiased, is the only really sane reaction. We are told everything we knew was wrong, unlike small pox, rabies, Black Plague and mumps, the Wuhan flu could be caught over and over again. I was startled to hear a normally happy man threaten suicide. People feel something is wrong and we don’t know what to do about it.

All of this is happening because of the actions of bureaucracies. Had Fauci not paid to create a novel corona virus, we wouldn’t have one. Which started the whole ball of usurpation, corruption, and what the hell do you call, coercing the human race to “volunteer” for a species wide experiment? When someone thinks up a word for that… it will be a humdinger! Nevertheless, it is almost like the elite created the Wuhan flu, to set up a Hegelian dialectic, you know, problem, reaction, solution. It cannot be argued the lockdowns and resulting economic disruption, is not entirely the fault of government, had the NIH and CDC not vilified palliatives, thousands would have survived, and if Amy Comey Barrett had done her job, we would not have a doddering fool leading us from disaster to catastrophe.

So, if you are on edge lately, you are not alone and you have good reason. I have to admit, I am trying to get this article out before something big happens. Like thunder, in the not too distance, we all feel in our chests something is on its way. Perhaps the elite have raised a demon from the collective unconscious. Like Hitler, Stalin and Mao did. Unlike the proverbial frog, we feel the heat, and that feeling expresses itself in our collective angst. Also, unlike frogs, we have the ability to turn down the heat. In our own lives, the lives around us and then to our community. We need to be the leaders, on the small scale if need be, and a larger one if possible, but we need to be cooling elements. Our elected, appointed and hired leaders have failed us. So, it’s all up to us… especially if Yellowstone goes off.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Do You Want To Know?

Posted on September 8, 2021 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, for a kid to get to marriage today, is next to impossible. If they make it out of the womb without being dismembered, they are manipulated by the schools into self sterilization. Little girls getting their wombs ripped out and little boys manipulated into welcoming chemical castration. If they make it past those cultural hurdles, they face a drug epidemic, supplied with unlimited opiates by the CIA itself. We lose 60,000 to 70,000 kids a year to that little trick. Then there are the unending wars. If you think the US pulling out of Afghanistan was the end to the dead and maimed kids, coming back from overseas meddling operations, look at Syria. It is shocking any at all make it to have families and live a normal human life. Then they try to get their kids over those elite imposed mortal hurdles.

No matter your stance on abortion, the legalization of drugs or the benefits of manipulating children into becoming sex dolls, you have to admit, the numbers of people harmed are quite alarming. I don’t think the most hardened pro abortionist could stand to watch a mid or late term abortion, without changing their minds. I am certain not one person in the legalization lobby condone the government protecting the poppy fields, the CIA importing heroin, or 60,000 to 70,000 deaths a year from overdoses. Nor does anyone think the CCP should be flooding our streets with Fentanyl either. People who have been manipulated, by their empathy, would be shocked at the suicide rate of those who have “transitioned.” Individually, each is a deeply immoral act… collectively, how much more so?

Those in charge, whether the politicians, the bureaucracy or the people behind the curtain, cannot let us openly realize what they are doing, but they can’t help themselves, they have to tell us. How many treatises advocating lowering the population have been endorsed by the UN, Globalists and US brainiacs? Their antipathy towards the masses is palpable in their writings. The UN, for example, has written Agenda 21, there are the Georgia Guide stones, and the Gates Foundation’s panic over overpopulation. Just how, I wonder, do vaccines help with overpopulation? If you were about to do a business deal with someone, and you heard a recording of them laughing about how they were planning on screwing you in that deal, a sane person would stop the deal. Sadly, we appear not to be sane.

How evil does someone have to be, to be complicit with the overdose deaths of 60,000 to 70,000 kids a year? How malevolent is it to manipulate children into self sterilization? Moreover, only a demon, as the recent lawsuit from the Temple of Satan against the state of Texas proves, would cheer the dismemberment of babies in the womb. There are all kinds of people in this world, some of us are good to a fault while others are the opposite. The good don’t seek power, because they have no interest in lording over others, they seek to do good in the world. Those of the opposite persuasion do. Power is better than money, it allows them to do evil in the world, and call it good. But anyone with a speck of discernment can see, these things are evil, dredged up from the deepest part of the collective id.

It’s like the elite are waging a war of genocide against our children. These are not hidden facts, the abortion statistic is open for all to see, as are the overdose statistics. Information on the number of children manipulated into self sterilization are much harder to come by. In one London clinic alone, 50 children a week visit… and who knows how many go on to “transition.” They are waging an existential war against our offspring, out in the open, and we look the other way. Why? It is too ugly a truth to admit. Because if we do, we have to act. Most of us would rather hide in a corner, cover our eyes and pray our kids make it through the maze of knives. If they are born and overdose, are killed by a terrorist or commit suicide out of despair from transitioning… who cares, we were told, and did nothing.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Acceptance

Posted on September 5, 2021 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, to be civilized, one must have acceptance. A child stomps his little feet at that which cannot be changed, while an adult accepts it, and moves on. If we apply this logic to Critical Race Theory, progressivism and “Woke’ theology, these notions seem to prove the Existentialist idea, that life is so tragic, pathology, not only is the norm, it would be absurd for it not to be… and therefore the world is pathological because we are pathological. A neurotic cannot accept and therefore cannot understand why he is being pathological. So, instead of lessening the suffering in the world, the neurotic captured by Woke theology, increases suffering with misplaced, inauthentic empathy. Their pathology of unacceptance is so complete they cannot even accept a person’s sex.

That there is suffering in the world cannot be denied. We are born of our mother’s suffering, are fragile, get sick and eventually, we die. To someone who dwells neurotically on these things, ignoring and therefor missing the joys, the suffering of life is overwhelming. To someone who experiences a great trauma, the personal wound can be permanently damaging. That such things can make people pathological is no great leap. Our psyche is as fragile as our bodies. The difference between those who thrive and those who wither however, is always and everywhere, the ability to accept. Then move on. Acceptance is the prerequisite to moving on. Moreover, until we move on, we can never get anywhere. Acceptance then, is a choice we can make, that helps with the inevitable suffering of life.

CRT, Woke theology and Progressivism, are about not accepting anything, total cynical nihilistic skepticism. They teach that everything is about power. Law, science, truth, conscientiousness, and even math… all are about maintaining the dominant power hierarchy. They don’t teach this is wrong, only that the wrong people are at the top, of their thought experiment. It should be them who wield unlimited power. To that end they accept nothing. It all has to go. There is no limit to their destruction because what they are destroying is the apparatus of illegitimate power. Since even math is a means for the dominant white patriarchy, to maintain its control, math is a valid target of criticism. There can be no truth when one’s worldview is that everything is only a means to power. They accept… nothing.

The more the world slaps someone in the face, who cannot accept, the angrier they must get. Atheism is common sense to some, because people who accept nothing are too self absorbed, to accept there are deeper truths than we can comprehend, and move on. Such a mindset is in and of itself narcissistic. Using the existential tragedies of life to justify absolute egoism. Perpetually angry at life, the universe and God, an atheist cynically sows suffering as punishment for their unhappiness. They feel a perpetual deep disquiet, because no matter how “authentic” they are told they are, while following the crowd, getting the latest tattoo, piercing or hair color, it is not really authentic, in the Existentialist idea of the word. It is lying to oneself, a pathological action, that leads to more pathological actions.

I personally, am more of the opinion that the neuroticism of the world, is made pathological by, as Thrasymachus called them, The Great Men. Confucius said people follow their leaders, into virtue or vice. My experience of life leads me to think along these lines. Not that the idea that life is so tragic, pathology should be the norm, has no merit, I just think that generalized pathology is of little consequence until it is marshaled by a psychopath. The individual pathology of the average neurotic, only negatively effects their own lives, until they are marshaled into an army of broken people, intent on breaking the world. The fact many of us cannot accept the tragedies, sufferings and unfairness of life, makes us easily manipulated. Manipulated into making life even more unbearable.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Incentives, Socialist and Capitalist

Posted on September 3, 2021 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the difference in results between Space X and NASA’s Space Launch System, (SLS) illustrates the difference between the socialist system and a free enterprise system. SLS is the epitome of socialists creating an expendable orbital rocket from space rated hardware, versus a private company creating a totally reusable orbital rocket from a patch of dirt. In three years Space X is knocking at the door to launching the Superheavy and Starship into a suborbital test trajectory. Meanwhile, after almost twenty years of development and 20 billion spent, the SLS has been delayed again. Milton Friedman famously asked a boss, why the men were all using shovels instead of one backhoe? The foreman said, it’s a make work project. Friedman replied, “Then why not give them spoons?”

During the early years of flight there were government attempts to push the envelope of aviation technology. Most were boondoggles, a few gave some insight, and they all burned money like a furnace. This is because, when an “innovator” has no skin in the game, they need not be pragmatic. Why save money here and there when plenty is to be had? Never use off the shelf, when custom is much better, supplies a local market with demand, and kickbacks flow like water in a river. They were real innovators, who had skin in the game, that dragged aviation along. Wright, Bleriot, etc… created human flight, not any government program. Post WWI aviation received a generous dose of government funds, to figure out more efficient ways to kill people, what government is best at.

When nuclear power plants were being built, the first ones were built in less time and with fewer cost overruns than later plants. Today the cost of a new nuclear plant is prohibitive. MIT claims it is because they need to be better engineered to prevent “unanticipated delays.” Which is a Pollyannish attitude. Back in the day, there were rumors that the workers who built the Pilgrim nuclear plant worried it would be turned on. Its operating history suggests they knew what they were talking about. In the early years of nuclear plants, before the system became socialized by government intrusion, companies built a nuclear plant from the ground up in no time, today, setting a stake is a billion dollar affair. Because building a nuke plant is like milking a cow, you milk it for all it can produce, then sell it as a downer.

No matter how wise, smart and foresighted a central planner, and they are anything but that, the incentives to efficient implementation are simply not there. Making socialism the worst possible means of advancing anything close to innovation. When workers show up, and do nothing all day, progress is not rapid but costs are high. Bureaucracy, whether corporate or government, has the same nature. When you are the one paying the tab, you make sure they are working or unemployed. Boeing used to be an innovative company, now it is a milking parlor. Look at their recent “wins,” the Starliner, which still hasn’t made it to the ISS, SLS, and the 737. Spectacular successes, in that they milked the public for billions and delivered, nothing… yet. There is still hope though, all it will cost is a few billion more.

There is a saying, give two people the same assignment, one comes back with a valid reason why they didn’t get it done, and the other comes back after having done it… A capitalist will ask the one who got it done to do the next thing, while a socialist will ask the one who gave the best excuse why they didn’t. In both cases, they are acting in their self interests, the difference is the incentives. People will act in their self interests, to advance a project or undermine it, depending on the incentive structure. The incentive structure, as evidenced pragmatically by the results of socialism, is pernicious, counterproductive and egoistic. While the incentive structure of capitalism, is pragmatism, efficiency and customer oriented. Which is why SLS still hasn’t flown and Starship is about to.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Information, The Media and Democracy

Posted on September 1, 2021 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, when the primary sources of information in a society, are captured by an ideology, they become not only unreliable, but actually harmful to the right ordering of society, the economy and government. The problem of unequal knowledge exists across all dimensions of human interaction. No one would argue that unequal knowledge makes a transaction more fair. Indeed quite the opposite. The greater the inequality of knowledge, the greater the unfairness of the interaction. If you buy a car, there is an inequality of knowledge about that car. If the seller put sawdust in the trans-axle, to silence impending failure, that is relevant information that if equally shared, would change the entire equation. The same holds true for buyers, sellers… and voters.

Those who are the sources of information have a duty. Anyone who calls themselves a “journalist” can spout a dozen reasons why they have a duty to report the facts. Then justify doing the opposite in the next breath. This is especially true of those who claim the mantle of “unbiased.” The New York Times, the “Paper of record,” for example. In a recent court filing, the NYT claimed that, in their news section, their story stating that Project Veritas’ video of open election fraud, was a “hoax,” was hyperbole, opinion and clearly not fact… and everyone knew it. A claim the court rejected allowing the suit to go to discovery. Nevertheless, that claim in and of itself, was the paper of record admitting their news section is nothing but opinion, establishing it as fact in a court of law, they have abandoned their duty.

All legitimate governments must have the consent of the governed, else they are tyrannies, pure and simple. The inequality of information becomes ever more important in the political sphere the more corrupt the government is. Sadly, government corruption and media complicity become a positive feedback loop. The corrupted media push their uncorrupted competitors out, by shutting down their servers, blocking their apps and character assassination. One way to tell if the media is biased, is to step back from a normal readers perspective, and instead read and listen to news like an editor. Is there any opinion at all in this “news story?” Is there a point of view? Would this reporter write the same story if the political sides were reversed? How can anyone so obviously deceived cast a valid ballot?

When the media is the handmaid of a political faction, that media has abandoned its duty, is undermining the consent of the governed, and therefore establishing tyranny. What else would you call a government that deceives its people? Since deceit itself is a villainous act, to argue it is done as a virtue, is to argue water is not wet and fire no longer burns. Political factions don’t use propaganda, manipulation and outright lies, to foster equity… they do it to amass power. To that end, a media that has abandoned its duty is very handy. It allows that faction to create a false narrative for any situation, then, since there is no other “legitimate” narrative, to expose it as a lie, that self serving narrative becomes the cultural truth. Factions with this power can, have… and will, create Hell on Earth.

Let’s take a glance at our “unbiased” media’s recent reporting. In the last year and a half, we have been bombarded with wall to wall coverage of a deadly virus, to terrify us, as the media dehumanizes those who refuse the experimental shot. Meanwhile, the press has dutifully avoided any mention of the 2020 election audits, and when they have had to, they have added a generous helping of opinion to those “news stories.” When the media that calls itself unbiased characterizes a thing as, “unprecedented,” that is always opinion. Because, as we all know Horatio, there is nothing new under the sun. What is also not unprecedented, is renaming censorship. Call it right think, anti revolutionary, or misinformation, and censorship is still censorship. A rose, lilac or turd, by any other name, smells the same.

Respect, Leadership and Us

Posted on August 29, 2021 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, there are two kinds of respect, the respect you give a wise and learned man, and the respect you give a hornets nest. Our leaders, including judges, police and bureaucrats, seek the second type, the first is beyond them. Real authority comes from force of personality, leading by example and the virtue that is exposed thereby. False authority comes from the barrel of a gun. Not only are the actions of legitimate authorities done out of human heartedness, but they lead to better outcomes for everyone. Pragmatically then, we could reason that the outcome, describes the quality of the authority that created it. History tends to agree. Mao derived his authority from the end of a gun, and the results were crimes against humanity, mass famine and tyranny. Making Mao a vinegaroon.

One way you can tell which kind of respect an authority demands is by how they act. Do they deserve respect or do they demand it, at the point of a gun? Someone who leads by example provides the avatar of what he or she wants in others. They need not use violence or the threat of violence to get people to follow them. They provide the template for correct action. Leaders eat last while rulers eat first. Rulers however cannot allow people to follow them, because if all of society were as corrupt as they, it would quickly collapse, and what would they rule then? In total chaos, no one rules, else it wouldn’t be chaos. How few leaders we have today. It is the rare example of a leader in politics, the courts and the bureaucracy, they mostly seek compliance, not cooperation. We are starving for real leaders today.

Those that demand respect at the point of a gun, only deserve our utter, total and complete contempt. Certainly not a spec of respect. Using violence to get one’s way is the act of a villain. Do you laud a murderer, a rabid dog or a plague? Of course not… you avoid them. We laud heroes, leaders and the altruistic. No one has anything bad to say about a martyr. A villain, on the other hand, is someone we may not want to annoy, but is no one we respect as a human being. A villain is contemptuous… as is a virus, diseased animal or fiend. In this case we can say that both respect and contempt are earned. Respect by virtue and contempt by villainy. This applies not just to others but to us as well. When we use violence and the threat of violence to get our way, we are not leaders, but villains.

Power of personality requires, reciprocation, human heartedness and leading by example, things no despot is willing to do. Like the old saying, there are three kinds of people in the world, givers, takers and reciprocators. Givers are selfless leaders, takers are never leaders but reciprocators cannot help but be leaders. A giver will wear themselves out trying to help, a taker will take until there is nothing left to take, but a reciprocator will cause others to give, take and reciprocate. Everyone benefits, no one is crushed and no one burns themselves out. Human heartedness is merely humanity. The understanding we are all flawed people, no one is a saint, and most of us are just trying our best. Leading by example, from the front, is the only way we can really lead. Otherwise we are not leading but ruling.

Virtually all our leaders today are like a hornets nest, quick to anger, vicious in their attacks and mindless in their pursuit of power. It should be our top priority then, to find leaders, who are leaders, not would be despots, followers or takers. Part of being a good leader is the ability to delegate some authority to others. Choosing who we delegate it to though is the trick. The truth is, we are the leaders we search for, we need to speak up, stand and run for office. We need to lead by example, and deny authority to those who demand from others, that which they would never do. Our world, nation and children deserve no less. Be the leader you want, our nation needs and our culture hungers for, in private and public… and society will right itself. Earn real respect… and burn the hornets nest.

Sincerely,

John Pepin
