The Only Thing We Have To Fear… Is Fear Itself

Posted on January 3, 2021 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the Wuhan flu has given the elite a taste of despotism, and they have found they like it, they like it a lot. They like it so much, they are considering a “great reset,” as a way to buy the company. So the despotism, that is so delectable to them, can last forever. Everything progressives find obnoxious, they can simply order closed, while those things progressives like, they allow. That is why in progressive run places, looting a store is acceptable and will not be punished, but having Grammy over for Christmas, warrants an armed police raid. Such powers are like heroine to the elite. Now they have tasted the drug of tyranny, they have lost all ability to self control, and so are going on an epic binge, and taking our parents, siblings and children along for the ride.

The source of the arbitrary power they love so much, is the fear of an invisible enemy… the Kung flu. If you watch the nightly news, it is all Kung flu all the time. Nothing but how we are doomed by the monkey king. Meanwhile, in our own lives, (reality) the evidence is in, the CCPandemic is far less deadly than we were told. Shockingly, like almost everything else we have been told about it, was a lie. The point isn’t the lie, we are told nothing but lies by the media, government and culture. The point is fear. We must stay afraid. Fear hands our oppressors power. Were we to wake up and recognize there is little real danger in the Corona virus, their power would dissipate like the ghost it is. Our fear of an intangible threat is the foundation of their Tower of Death.

There is a difference between a chicken and a dog. Both are fed, both are housed and both are protected from predation. Both probably think they are members of the family. Only the dog is though, the chicken, sooner or later will feed the family… and the dog. We would be wise to remember that truism, because you and I are not the dogs, nor will we ever be, we are the chickens. Sooner or later we will feed the elite and their dogs. I would rather take my chances in the wild rather than a “safe” cage. Many would not. They prefer a safe cage to a dangerous world. Because that is what we have been taught in the government monopoly education system. We were taught to be roasters, not hawks. Yet we consider ourselves to be hawks… living in a chicken coop.

The smart victim realizes he or she is a victim, not a guard or emperor, and acts accordingly. Part of being a victim is being afraid. That fear holds us in victim mode. Whether the terror is from propaganda, an invisible tiger or neuroticism, fear leads to dependence and dependence leads to victimhood. The first thing then is to drop the fear as much as possible. To do this we must unplug from sources that peddle fear. Simply turn your back on the invisible lions and walk out of the Forum. The elite will tell you to stay afraid, those invisible lions could grab you any moment, it is only the elite’s vigilance that keeps them at bay. Listen to their siren call and stay a victim, to be eaten sooner or later by real lions, else stand up and walk out. Stop playing their game of fear and dependency.

Only independent people can be free of fear. The wise among us strive always to be a little more independent today then yesterday. That is why the elite shut down churches but encourage opioid addiction, raid family gatherings but allow riots, and censor us as fake news while lying to our faces. To keep us dependent. The CCPandemic is not the Walking Dead virus, it is an invisible tiger, ready to disappear at any moment. Only held in existence by the constant droning of progressive sorcerers. They had their fun, now it’s time to take away the crack pipe and put the elite to bed, to sleep it off. They have done plenty of damage already, why make it permanent with a great reset? Else we become hawks building our own coop… only to wonder what happened to the sky.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Are We Ruled or Led?

Posted on January 1, 2021 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, we have rulers, not leaders. What is the difference? Rulers derive their power at the barrel of a gun, while leaders by force of personality. Rulers rule from the back while leaders lead from the front. Rulers demand of others, that which they would never do, while leaders lead by example. Rulers are faithless while leaders are faithful, rulers say God is on their side, while leaders strive to be on God’s side. Leaders keep the best interests of everyone in mind, they serve society, while rulers only their own, society serves them… all showing rulers are far different from leaders. It is an important thing to recognize, because seeing a politician for who and what they are, allows us to make informed decisions. Else inevitably, we will be ruled, not led.

They say that you can judge a man’s character by how he treats the waiter or waitress. People who abuse those below them are themselves stone hearted. While people who treat those below, as they treat those above, are human hearted. If we accept this and apply it to leaders or rulers, it is obvious, that leaders exhibit human heartedness in their interactions, while rulers practice hardheartedness. Leaders care… rulers don’t. To glean this information, one has to listen to what those who have served the various politicians, say about them. Are they called courteous, friendly and caring, or rude, mean, and condescending? Do the maids, aides, etc… like them? Are they hardhearted or human hearted? This is one way we can discern those who would rule us from those who would lead us.

There is a book out there titled, Leaders Eat Last, it is a book about leadership. I find the title itself to be interesting. The concept that a leader eats last seems foreign to someone who grew up in the Twentieth century. Our elected representatives not only eat first, they refuse any personal sacrifice, are utterly untrustworthy, and are above their own laws. By the measure of that book, those that hold positions of authority today, are not leaders, but rulers. This goes for the bureaucrat as much as the congressman or President. They all lead or rule due to their positions in our society. Their authority does not come from personal charisma, but state power… political, military and police. What makes them authorities? Public opinion. It is only public opinion that gives them any real power at all.

The culture of an organization is created by it’s leaders… or rulers. People follow their leaders. If a leader is corrupt, rude and uncaring, the entire organization will eventually follow and be corrupt, rude and indifferent. This goes for a small business, corporation, or government. The culture of any organization is directly effected by the leadership. The culture then colors every interaction with it for the good or bad. A small business ruled like a despotism will not last long in a capitalist system. A corporation ruled by corrupt, rude and indifferent people, will last longer, but must eventually succumb to its own malevolence. Government however, can last a very long time ruled by corrupt, rude and uncaring people. Making it far more pernicious when government is ruled… not led.

How can we transform those in authority from rulers to leaders? The most important point is that rulers rule from darkness while leaders lead in the light. Our bureaucrats, judges, legislators and Presidents can be encouraged to be leaders, rather than rulers, by enforcing absolute transparency in government. If they know their every phone call, conversation, and meeting is posted to the internet in real time, for anyone to see, they will be discreet. If they know they will be held to every law they foist on the rest of us, they will be more careful in what laws they pass, and if they are ostracized from power, if caught undermining our constitution and its limits on their authority, they will have no choice but to follow it. Scald the rulers with cleansing light. Make ruling impossible… and we will be led, not ruled.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

My Prediction How the Biden Administration Will Rule

Posted on December 30, 2020 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, if Biden and Harris are sworn in, they will do every horrible thing they have claimed Trump wants to do. How do I know this? History. As they say, projection is admission… this has turned out to be true in almost every instance in the last twelve years… and before. Examples abound proving this true. From calling it the nuclear option when republicans were considering eliminating the judicial filibuster, then democrats did it once in power, to the Russian collusion hoax against Trump, that turned out to be the democrats colluding with Russians, Ukrainians and Chinese Communists. In every instance, whatever the democrats accused the republicans of wanting to do, the democrats either are doing, did, or will do once in power… and given the allegations, (admissions) is alarming.

The Trump is Hitler song has played for Trump’s four years in office. Given the democrats propensity, to admission by projection, that would indicate Biden plans on ruling much as Hitler did. By mob rule until he has sufficient power… then crush all dissent. Like burning the Reichstag, (iconoclasm) and blaming it on Communists, (or Trump supporters). It’s not like democrats are openly saying they will track down and punish Trump supporters for standing up to them. Except they are. For our impudence, to have an opinion different from them, we must be made examples of. Which is of course what Hitler did. In an unrelated thought, the platform of the national socialists, is identical to today’s progressives. The only difference is the Nazis were nationalists and the progressives are globalists.

The Trump is a racist stool has been driven down our throats for the last 4 years. Despite the multitude of awards he received before becoming President, for fostering racial harmony and accord, we have been told he is more racist than Woodrow Wilson! Even as minorities flock to him. Meanwhile the progressive democrat party is pushing the all white people are racist theme. Which anyone with half a brain can see is openly racist. Democrats even claim that because of your skin color your opinion has more or less relevance. That is called “Intersectionality.” Logically, we can expect such attitudes to get worse, not better, absence any criticism… and it is not allowed by the media, big tech or the deep state. So, under Biden, we can expect racism to become enshrined in law, custom and society again.

Obstructing justice has been attached to Trump with super glue. The deep state’s zealots like Comey, McCabe, Brennen, etc… have logged an uncounted number of hours opining on how Trump obstructed justice, in the Russian collusion hoax. He tried to expose it as the hoax it was, and is, before it collapsed from its own lack of internal consistency, truth and verifiability. In the last few months, we have seen the media, big tech and Bill Barr, bend every effort to obstruct justice, to protect the Deep state and the Biden crime family. Even going back to their trope of Russian collusion to suppress information before the election. Today they grudgingly allow some to get out, but only some, not the full scope. It doesn’t serve them to allow us marks to know the swindle.

Election rigging is the most absurd accusation against Trump. In 2016 Trump not only had zero accessible political power, preventing the opportunity, as the state electors were “briefed,” (lied to) that Trump had colluded with Russia to rig the election! Obviously, in a ham handed attempt to get them to become unreliable electors, and swing the election to Hillary. In 2020 democrats pulled out all the stops. I won’t go into the multitude of election fraud that is proven, instead, here is a link to the evidence. As I predicted, 2020 will go down in history, as the year of election fraud. The only real question remaining is… will we ever have a free and fair election again? If democrats are to be believed the answer is a resounding NO! They will never tolerate democracy again now they have defeated it.

Today we see that almost everything they accused Trump of, they have either done, are doing or plan to do. Which leads me to a very dark conclusion… that the democrats will grind and press the rags of our once great Constitutionally limited republic, to bond paper, an unlimited administrative state. One that uses Nazi tactics in politics, is racist to the core, practices political justice and engages in open election fraud. In short, everything they have accused Trump of, they will do, in spades. You might want to hunker down, if history has any predictive value, it is going to get pretty rough. Unless democrats turn over a new leaf, and abandon that which has given them power… for principles. Of course, the only principles progressives have, is power over their principality, so… probably not.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Epic Swindle

Posted on December 27, 2020 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, what we are seeing today, is the idea Joseph Schumpeter espoused in his book Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy… that the first step to making a socialist society, is destroying small businesses. He said that corporations are bureaucracy and so they teach workers how to live under socialism. Making corporations an economic Trojan horse. Training people to live under socialism… being a first step to implementing full socialism. Once everyone works for a corporation, the government can then simply print the money to buy all the stock, and voila, you have socialism. Moreover, the marks even think they were paid for their assets! An epic swindle to play on a people. He laid the whole plan out in his book and apparently the elite are following it to the letter.

Corona virus, or more correctly, the Wuhan Flu, has been a godsend to our psychopathic elite. It has allowed them to infect us with brain eating fear. Which has made us willing to give up our Rights to fight a ghost. It has nullified science. In that a small shop with one or two people in it, is a far bigger threat to public safety, than a corporate store, stuffed with hundreds of people crowded together in a long line at the checkout. The flu has enabled despots to shut down the economy. Well, not everyone’s economy, just small businesses and churches. Meanwhile, liquor stores, corporations and abortion clinics are open. You have to admit, the Kung flu is pretty sly, only dangerous in churches and mom and pop stores. Although perhaps the shut downs are not for public health… but something else?

Insurance does not cover your house or business if it is destroyed during war, rioting or unrest, which means all those small businesses that were burned to the ground, to protest the overdose death of George Floyd, are gone. The owners ruined. The best they can hope for is bankruptcy. Thousands of small businesses were torched across the nation in the protests. Not one is covered by insurance. If they were, you can bet the government would have stopped the riots, right off the bat! Insurance companies, (corporations), have political favor, while small businesses don’t. Some small businesses, that might have survived the shutdowns, could not survive being incinerated. Then again, maybe they were raised because something, other than, one out of the 80,000 overdose deaths in 2020?

Our law enforcement agencies have a motto, follow the money. When crime is being done, the criminals get rich, obviously. That tactic was used to get Al Capone in a tax evasion charge when the feds couldn’t get him any other way. Today even a cursory glance at the money flow is illustrative. The new class has become exponentially richer, the billionaires have reaped a windfall and the corporations have never had it better. Meanwhile little guy USA has been hammered. In democrat led states… small businesses are all but gone. Obliterated by the one two punch of shut downs, along with moving goal posts to suck up what capital they had, then riots flattening the rest. The trillions they printed up to compensate small businesses, went to Harvard, Planned Parenthood and large corporations instead.

In states with despots, (democratic governors) leading them, small businesses are on the ropes. Their benign extermination is opening the way to move everyone into a corporate job. Once everything is done by corporations, the government just prints the money to buy all the stock, in a forced buy back, then we have socialism. The printed money people got for their real assets, being fiat, will evaporate like so much ether in the sun. Along with our rights. Schumpeter said, the lash is as good a motivator of men, as self interest. So we can expect to replace self interest, as our motivator, with the lash. Wielded by an administrative state, run by professionals, for our own good. Because if you think of it, who needs Rights, they come with responsibilities, wouldn’t you rather be a feckless slave instead?

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Polity, Democracy and Despotism

Posted on December 23, 2020 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, instead of striving for democracy, we should be seeking polity. Democracy is where the majority rule the minority, but polity is where everyone agrees. The compromised would argue that it is impossible to get everyone to agree, especially in a large state encompassing millions of people. Which is a valid argument, just not for this discussion. The first reason is it is out of place, is because it assumes size effects the culture, when I don’t think there is much evidence to prove that as a fact. Second, is the assumption that there are people who are so disagreeable they will not agree to anything. In that I suspect they are projecting. Lastly, they assume that polity is everyone agreeing with zero dissent. When that is not the case at all, polity, is everyone being comfortable with the decision.

The old saying goes, democracy is three wolves and a lamb setting down to supper, and voting on what they will eat. Polity is each of them eating what they want and all of them being safe from each other. You and I may not agree on anything, on the face of it, but in reality we all agree on most things… except for psychopaths. I presume you and I agree the lot of mankind should be elevated whenever possible, I bet we agree that poverty should be eliminated, at least where it leads to destitute want, and that war is a bad thing… the point is, everyone sane agrees on the big questions. Where we differ is on how to get there. Democracy is when the majority decide and the minority knuckle under. Polity is where we all decide, and if that decision is too odious to someone, we just don’t implement it.

The more partisan the culture the less there will be polity and the more there will be democracy. In fact, when that is the case, the winners of an electoral battle will revel in the emotional pain of their enemies. This is what is happening in our culture. We are so tribalized now, we don’t seek victory to pursue our greater goals, but to smash the wills of our political foes. Which can only lead to greater polarization, fear and anger. The more people feel beat up the less we are willing to engage in dialogue. The end of such a feedback loop is civil war. That is the road our civilization is on. The dead end leads to oblivion. It is not because of the system it is because polarization serves the interests of the political elite. In that it keeps us divided so they can implement their despotic rule without push back.

Of course, if the electoral system itself is corrupted, the slide to civil war must accelerate. When the majority are silenced, threatened and disenfranchised, the polarization grows out of control. People in that situation, are like cornered animals, we could lash out in unpredictable ways, at unpredictable targets. Which, I am sure, is one reason the faction doing the disenfranchising, censoring and wielding mobs, is intent on disarming the American people. That would be effective at lowering our ability to harm those harming us. A position that psychopaths always want their victims in. There are those who will whimper and beg their tormentors, and others that are more like cats, and will scratch. Disarming us is ripping the claws from a cat you plan to torture. Such people make polity nearly impossible.

Aristotle’s republican form of government, the one adopted by the US founding Fathers, along with Montesquieu’s third branch, was designed to limit the passions of partisans. The system they devised, were we to follow it, would drag us back towards polity, and away from polarization, hate and tribalization. Sadly, we haven’t followed our Constitution since Woodrow Wilson, reducing it to a single layer of cheesecloth covering naked despotism. Since our leaders, elected, cultural and bureaucratic, will not willingly return to Constitutional rule, it is up to us to do it. By building a sense of polity in our culture. We are not helpless, we have claws, a voice and will. We can lead by example and build harmony instead of acrimony. We are a polity or a democracy, the choice is ours, not theirs.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

Angry, Bitter and Resentful Politics

Posted on December 20, 2020 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, sadly, grass roots progressives tend to be angry and hate filled people. Have you ever tried to have a conversation about politics with one? Never making a point that does not drip with hate… progressives openly despise their political enemies. Not so much following platforms, plans or past actions, progressives only care about personalities. Even old friends become enraged instead of engaged. Bring up a fact they dislike and they project their blind fury on you. You simply cannot have any meaningful discussion with someone so enraged. It’s like trying to discuss engine displacement with a drowning man… it cannot be done. Reason does not work with unreasonable people. Which brings me to two questions, why are they so hate filled, and how can their hate be siphoned away?

Emotional people will be emotional. I find the Briggs Myers personality system to be very informative about people’s inner natures. Except that it predicts me to be a liberal. Being Introverted and Intuitive. Yet I am also Thinking and Judging. Introversion, intuitive thinking, feeling and perceiving are indicative of liberals, while extroversion, sensing, thinking and judging are more conservative traits. The system the pseudo science of psychology prefers is the five factor system. In that system, people who rate high in open mindedness, neuroticism and low in conscientiousness tend to be “liberals.” While psychologists claim that people high in conscientiousness, orderliness and low in neuroticism tend towards conservatism. Suggesting that our emotional tendencies are largely out of our control.

Lack of gratitude makes someone bitter, angry and resentful. Our culture is not thankful today. We have so much yet we are angry about it. While our physical needs are met in spades, our spiritual needs are ignored. Gratitude feeds our spirits. Starved for sustenance, our spirits turn on us, to feed on our psyche. Ask a progressive if he or she has thanked God today for anything. There will be a few who will answer yes, but the vast majority will say, God? Seriously? Why thank the sky king for what I have done? Then in the next breath claim, “You didn’t build that, ” about the business you have struggled to develop your entire life, despite the roadblocks the government put in your way. Showing that progressives have no problem with cognitive dissonance. Even to their own harm.

There have always been political factions that have taken advantage of emotional people to become despotic. The emotional are easy to control. No place is that more obvious than when a demagogue takes over a mob and wields it to his will. Mobs don’t think, they react, making them perfect weapons for malevolent people to use. Hitler didn’t appeal to the German intellect… he appealed to their emotions. The same can be said of Lenin, Robespierre, fat Mao, Pol Pot, Hugo, etc… Despots appeal to emotion, never reason. In Orwellian fashion they claim emotion is reason, to inoculate themselves from reason. That is one way to determine if a faction serves evil instead of good, is if it appeals to emotion instead of intellect. As the American progressive party does.

How do you help an emotional person be less emotional? Lead by example and remain calm in the face of their personal attacks. Then call attention to the fact their emotions are driving them. How do you instill a feeling of gratitude in an ingrate? Lead by example and be grateful yourself. Instead of demanding they be grateful, display gratefulness before them, goodness is very magnetic. The faction that plays on emotion and hate, could be limited, if we demand our leaders follow our Constitutionally limited system. Which was intended to control men’s passions in the first place. Else we could cede the field to people who’s anger and hate will lead them to crimes against humanity. Like every other time bitter, angry and resentful people have gained unlimited power. The choice, in the end, is ours.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

On Forgiving Student Loan Debt

Posted on December 18, 2020 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the government “forgiving” student loan debt, is a great way to transfer wealth from the bottom to the top. The new class is defined by the fact they have degrees. They are the executives, CEOs, journalists, doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs and accountants. Those who don’t have degrees will be forced to pay the debt of their bosses. Quite a swindle to play on the poor. Of course, only a true psychopath would further impoverish the poor, to enrich him or herself. To the alternate argument, that many who have degrees are waitresses, ditch diggers and coal miners. I would point out, that for those who don’t have degrees, these are their only job choices. People who use debt to buy a useless degree shouldn’t be rewarded anymore than someone who uses debt to buy drugs or gamble.

The real problem is the cost of a university degree today. The value to cost ratio of a college education diminishes by the hour. The quality decreases while the cost skyrockets. This is due to several factors. The perception that everyone needs a college education, is pernicious, because most do not. Even in our highly technical civilization, trade schools are more effective at training for hands on work than universities. Another factor is that brain washing with a political ideology, to the detriment of rational thought, is not terribly empowering for the victim. In fact, a strong argument could be made that stultifying a student into an ideologue, is not doing that student any good at all. Especially when that brain washing comes at such a high price. Decades paying off useless unforgivable debt.

When the government made student loan debt, federal debt, and thus inextinguishable by bankruptcy, they erased one of the underlying principles of capitalism, and unleashed runaway inflation in tuition price. Bad debt should be extinguishable by bankruptcy, so the person can get back to making money, a pursuit that helps everyone. Saddling a young person with useless debt insures you will not create a business, buy a home, or start a family. The only option is to go to work for a firm to pay off that debt. Like a minefield student loan debt is a channelizing device. Keeping us from being entrepreneurs to insure we become cogs. Moreover, disconnecting debt from profit, loss and difficulty in acquiring, teaches a false lesson about debt. Further hampering the student’s life outcome. All government’s fault.

That so many are saddled with unforgivable debt, for a degree in gender studies, with a minor in advanced underwater basket weaving, is not the fault of a ditch digger, it is both the fault of the student and the college. The student for being a dupe, the college for selling worthless sheepskin at a dear price. In any other context, that would be called fraud, classic selling a pig in a poke. What thickens the irony more than a french roux, is the same organizations that are attacking for profit colleges and trade schools, (the competition) that teach under served students how to do things that make money, they are saddling students with tens of thousands of dollars in debt. For a useless degree that imparts no benefit whatsoever, but diminishes the student’s life outcome greatly, by instilling counter productive notions.

As the endowment of Harvard grows ever closer to that magical fifty billion dollar level… they and every other university and college, inculcate counter productive post modernist drivel, charging ever more for it. Building absurdly huge endowments. Then, like Ebeneezer Scrooge, they hoard those endowments. So much so, Ivy League universities endowments bristle with billions. Instead of demanding painters, landscapers and janitors pay off the debt of executives, lawyers and doctors, so the elite can further enrich themselves and their endowments. Why don’t universities lead by example, and buy a degree for everyone, with their endowment interest? Making student loan debt archaic. Else the ivy leagues could pay a big chunk of existing debt. Unless they are hypocrites.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

AI, Gene Editing, Cyber Tech… and Malevolent Morons

Posted on December 16, 2020 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, putting AI, Crysper and cybertech in the hands of psychopathic oligarchs, like ours, is like giving a preschool jars of nitroglycerin to play with. There is a reason science follows philosophy and not the other way around. For science to advance, there must first be a philosophical advance, that gives the mental framework for it. Remove that framework, and the scientific advance that has already occurred, becomes unstable, thus dangerous. If you went back in time and gave and iron age king, jet planes, he would use them to create suffering. The minds of people with that framework are not capable of creating jet planes, but also of understanding how to use them, in a way that improves the lot of man rather than lowers it. The same holds true if science runs ahead of philosophy.

I have talked extensively, about how psychopathic our overlords are, so I won’t go there. Suffice it to say, read my earlier articles to get an understanding of just how malevolent our “leaders” are. The important point to make about them is, they are abandoning modernism, the mental framework that has allowed us to advance in science, for a return to a bronze age mindset. The Bronze age was a time of great advance. Advances that wouldn’t be surpassed for thousands of years. Nevertheless, it had built within it, as do all philosophies, a limit, a ceiling, to how high the technology could go. If you took Caesar and plopped him down in London, during the Enlightenment, he would not be the least impressed at the scientific advancement… one century later however would be very different.

Words are little philosophical concepts. New words come into being to express new ideas. Each word carrying with it a whole constellation of ideas. There are words that exist in English that don’t have a corollary in Japanese. The very concept must be explained narratively because the idea is not known there. The reverse is true as well. Take the word nearby. To understand it you must understand a great many ideas. The concepts of distance, space, and time are involved. Every word is the same, each concept building upon the last to create a framework by which we understand the world. If that framework is deficient then our ability to understand the world is deficient. All philosophical theaters are deficient in some way, none perfectly representing reality, but some are better than others.

Another string on my fiddle, is that Post Modernism, the philosophy the elite are embracing now, is actually a return to Sophism. Again, perusing my earlier articles illustrates my thinking on this point. The post modernist mental framework is incompatible with modernism in that it eschews objectivity. Whereas modernism is all about objectivity. Objectivity being the fundamental attribute of the modernist mindset, that allowed it to produce the scientific, and industrial revolutions. That is not to say the modernist mental framework is perfect. It is flawed in many ways. Sadly, those flaws are the only parts of modernism the post modernists want to keep. Atheism, humanism, the rationally ordered economy and society. Every concept of modernism that has failed… they embrace. Lacking objectivity.

What we have then is bronze age kings demanding unlimited rule over a space age civilization. In our case, the bronze age despots are not just getting jet aircraft, but nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers, and ICBMs. Which are deadly and certain to ruin the world, but mankind could rise from that. Not from an apocalypse generated by AI, Gene editing or hacking into the human mind itself. Anyone can envision dozens of ways giving fools such technology, and an unlimited license to use it, will go terribly bad for humanity. Returning to a Bronze age mental framework will only exacerbate the problem. Leaving us two options. Become like the Amish, else force a return to the best ideas of modernism… objectivism, individualism and natural law, rethink the bad ones, then go from there.

Sincerely,

John Pepin

The Coming Tsunami of Crime, Chaos and Poverty

Posted on December 13, 2020 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, the total lawlessness of our ruling class can only ooze down to every corner of our society… so we can expect crime, chaos and poverty to skyrocket. Which serves the political faction that derives its power from crime, chaos and poverty. People follow their leaders. When James Dean wore a DA haircut and leather jacket, all the cool boys followed and wore them as well. When the heroin addict look became popular in fashion models, soon after, heroin addiction became the fashion among teens. Moreover, when the media claimed oral sex is not sex, to cover for Bill Clinton’s sexual harassment, teens became even more libidinous. Showing that the young are most effected. Which means, the lawlessness of our leaders will effect our society, civilization and culture for a long time.

I favor some of Confucius’ ideas. He had to have been wise for his teachings to have lasted so long. One of them is that leaders lead by example. One of my favorite stories about Confucius is the Duke of Lu tale. Upon hearing the sage, Confucius was traveling Lu state, the Duke of Lu ordered the wise man be brought before him. Confucius hoped he would garner a patron so he gladly went. The Duke, who was a renowned follower of Bacchus, even if he didn’t know the name, asked the sage how he could stop the people from lusting after other men’s wives, gambling, and stealing. Confucius answered immediately, “You could lead by example and stop doing those things yourself…” Confucius and his disciples had to flee Lu state the next morning. Rulers want morality but are unwilling to be moral.

Clearly, people follow their leaders, we emulate those above us in the hierarchy, not those below… if we want to rise. How many of us look at the guy several steps below us, and dropping, in whatever hierarchy we are engaged in and say, “Boy, I should copy him!” No, we look up, at those who are above us and rising, and copy them. If we want to rise in the hierarchy. This is true of all hierarchies. Therefore, if we see those above us getting ahead by corrupt means, and those below us dropping because they refuse to be corrupt, the self interested will emulate the corrupt risers and detest the virtuous droppers. Which means that corruption at the top must flow eventually to the very bottom of any organization, hierarchy or system. Civilization, society and culture are such systems.

That is all well and good, but how does that effect me, now? I suppose many are asking themselves. Today, in not only the US but across the world, humanity is led by outright psychopaths. From the Supreme Court turning a blind eye to open election fraud, disenfranchising the whole population of the US, to the conspirators in Spygate, all getting away without even being charged… our leaders have proven themselves to be utterly corrupt. Criminals of the most malevolent definition of the word. Hillary Clinton skating on a myriad of crimes, any of which would land you or I, (little people) in prison. Now they are being rewarded for their election fraud, hoaxes and swindles, it will get much worse. It effects you… because a tidal wave of crime, chaos and poverty is headed your way.

Since a society led by criminals will be rife with crime, a civilization that embraces chaos will be chaotic and a government ruled by the corrupt will be corrupt… and we are led by some of the most corrupt leaders in human history, we can expect all those things. Why should a mugger have any compunction about mugging, since he watches the American people mugged nightly by the elite… and the media calls it just. Only a fool would tell the truth in court when we know the court is a tool of the unjust. Why produce quality goods when lobbying is cheaper and more profitable? We are not stupid. We have eyes and we see. If the way up is by corruption, most will take that path, and the consequences will be felt by all. Empowering the faction that is powered by chaos, crime and poverty. Get ready.

Sincerely,

Who Is Investigated Depends on Political Affiliation

Posted on December 11, 2020 by john

Dear Friends,

It seems to me, when a republican is accused, he or she is investigated, but when a democrat is accused, it’s the accuser who is investigated. This might appear a bit strange to anyone who labors under the common misconception, that the law is applied equally, else the Constitution’s equal treatment clause is violated… but they would be wrong. The scientific method says, when theory runs up against empirical reality, theory must give. While not at all progressive, that standard has served us very well since the Enlightenment. Empirical history is unambiguous, when a republican is accused, no matter how absurd the accusation, that accusation is investigated with the idea to prove it. While if a democrat is accused, the accuser is destroyed by the media, bureaucracy and the courts, to cover it up.

In case someone thinks I am blowing smoke, and have no examples, I direct you to the Biden Hard drive. It revealed astounding corruption in the Biden family. Selling access. The media, at the time, censored the story, vilified anyone who reported it and investigated it as Russian disinformation. Now it has all but been proven true, rather than admit they have egg on their faces, they parade around like no one sees it. Remember when Planned parenthood was exposed for selling baby parts in violation of US law? Yea, Planned Parenthood sued the journalists and were awarded millions in damages. Meanwhile, not one criminal charge was filed against anyone in Planned Parenthood, who violated the law. There are many many more examples of accusers of democrats being investigated and destroyed.

Even as Hillary’s blatant criminality, setting up a private server to handle top secret emails, was being covered up by the FBI, they were opening Crossfire Hurricane to investigate Trump, for what they knew at the time was a hoax. A set of completely absurd allegations, many of which were on their face a lie, all were investigated fully. Innocent men impugned, framed and prosecuted over a hoax. Paul Mannafort is in jail as I write this, while his partner, the democrat Tony Podesta, was given immunity! The Special prosecutor had information the whole thing was a hoax, from the get go, yet still spent tens of millions of dollars investigating Trump. He had no problem framing and charging anyone he could get his grubby hands on, and when questioned later, Mueller admitted he is a complete half wit.

No one involved in spygate, other than a low level functionary, has been charged for creating a hoax investigation, lying under oath, abuse of power, corruption, conspiracy, fraud or even jay walking. Barr has charged no one of his own initiative. The low level functionary who doctored a document for his superiors… was referred to Barr by the IG report, and that dirtbag will not even go to jail! Barr and Durham have proven themselves to be tools of the establishment. They are there to cover up democrat crimes, not investigate them. I bet Barr will quickly prosecute any whistle blowers that spill the beans on democrat crimes. He would have cahoonas sufficient for that. As history shows however, he lacks them to charge an actual criminal, if they are a democrat.

Who the heck cares? So what if democrats are above the law while the rest of us are below it’s protections? It’s not like they are coming for our guns, Rights and children. Even if they are, they are the professionals, the authorities. They know what is best, due to their university degrees, and have the interests of all of society at heart. If you or I have to suffer for the greater good who are we to complain? Just as if the greater good requires democrats live in opulence, as the pigs in Animal Farm, when they work so hard for us, why deny them a little comfort? Unless you are a self interested human being who cares about your children. If that is the case, then you do care, you care deeply. Because you know the end game of arbitrary rule is always tyranny, poverty and war. Dystopia, a progressive Eden.

Sincerely,

John Pepin
