Dear Friends,
It seems to me, one of the reasons we are getting stupider and stupider, is because people follow their leaders… and ours are inept, corrupt and arrogant. We see it all around us. People too incompetent to count correct change arrogantly think they should run the world. Crime is skyrocketing at the same time as our objectively corrupt regime, evidenced by the 31 million received from the CCP and the Ukrainian shenanigans of the Bidens, who came into power by fraud. Their lawlessness has oozed into every pore of our nation. Arrogance and ineptitude followed their lawlessness. This is one of Confucius’ tenets and an idea that Mo Ti (a philosophical combatant of Confucius) also favored. People follow their leaders, provably true as well as intuitive, and is exemplified by our society today.
Our civilization, science and technology is breaking down by every measure, even as basic science continues to forge ahead by moment of inertia. Since curiosity and honest inquiry are racist throwbacks to the capitalist patriarchal hegemony. The signs are obvious and startling yet go unseen. Like Boeing’s failures. That company is set up to succeed yet it fails instead. In the 1970s during the peak of the energy crisis, there were no rolling blackouts, collapse of the grid for days at a time during epic cold snaps, or air travel chaos like today. The crisis then, was gas lines, and the price went from .50 cents a gallon to a buck. Then there is the medical establishment’s red face over covid. They created it, stupidly or malevolently released it, denied treatment to the victims, and said rioting is a covid safe activity.
The corruption of our leaders is reflected in the rising crime rates of our society. People follow their leaders into virtue… or vice. Ours epitomize vice and so our people, culture and nation are following them to the abyss of perversion. There is a mass shooting in the US almost every day now. The murder rates, in our big gun controlled cities, has shot up to record numbers in record time. Retail theft has driven many outfits out of progressive cities. Who could fail to mention the opioid overdose death rate? How many will die this year from Fentanyl? So far over 100,000 people have. Do you trust a word the pathologically lying media says anymore? Have you noticed in your own life, that people lie more, are inept and are less religious? It is because we are following our leaders to Hell.
There is no one as arrogant as the stupid and ignorant. The ignorant don’t know any better and the stupid think they are smart and so should be despots. By that measure, our leaders today in the constitutional government, the administrative state as well as our cultural, media and social leaders, are the acme of ignorant, stupid and arrogant. Being too ignorant to know that no one can run the world as an autocrat effectively, too stupid to understand that they are specifically unqualified to run a mop, let alone the world, and so arrogant they couldn’t care less. With role models like Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Chuck Schumer and obviously… the Clinton crime family, I am amazed we haven’t collapsed yet.
On a more personal level, at work, do you tend to emulate those in a lower station in the firm’s hierarchy, or those above? Do you dress like the people in the newsroom or the executive office? We emulate those in the positions we seek. This determines our trajectory in life. Nations are no different. If a nation emulates the highest ideals, morals and actions, then that nation will thrive. If a nation emulates the perverse, carnal and conniving, that nation will soon collapse, believing it was someone else fault. The national trajectory is set by the leaders of a nation. We have a limited say with our vote. Our leaders however, have decided our vote is an impediment to their plans, and so have effectively nullified it, keeping to form. No wonder our civilization is faltering… with these half wits in charge.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
