Dear Friends,
It seems to me, there is no institution created by humanity that is more clutching, venal, or crass than government. You could say that our only real enemy is government. Now, that’s not to say I believe in anarchy. That is to say that government has made itself the enemy of mankind. Several empirical facts lead to this conclusion. The fact that every nation on Earth is in deep national debt is proof of profligacy. The fact that Covid was created in a lab by US tax dollars, transferring gain-of-function to the CCP and killed millions is illustrative of pure unadulterated stupidity. The fact the governments of the world covered it up is proof of corruption. These are only a few examples showing that government has made itself the enemy of humanity.
An enemy of humanity must have several attributes that make it so. The qualities that make something an enemy are loathing, arrogance, and hubris. For government to be the enemy of mankind then it must hate humanity. Covid shows us it has no affinity for us. It must also be arrogant in action and thought. In the creation and cover-up of Covid arrogance was on full display. Remember they not only created the disease, they profited from it, by suppressing safe alternatives that might have saved tens of thousands. There could be no better example of one who thinks another is subhuman. Government must also have the hubris to think it can take over everything. As in an invading army. A real enemy seeks the foe’s total downfall and suppression.
A friend allows you to talk freely within reason, but an enemy can’t stand your voice. This is because friendship is a system of mutual benefit. This is often called a win-win. If an interaction isn’t supposed to end in mutual benefit but of the benefit of one and loss for the other, we call that a win-lose. Enemies engage in win-lose relationships. In war for example, one party wins and the other loses. Sometimes it ends in a disaster for both. This is where no one gets a benefit and everyone sustains a loss. We call this a lose-lose situation. Communication is critical to a system of mutual benefit. Talking freely allows people to understand each other leading to win-wins. A lack of communication leads inevitably to lose-lose or at best, win-lose. Enemies censor their foes.
The stupid often wage war on their own source of sustenance. In doing so they think they are in a win-lose where they are the winners and the farms, industries, and people they are waging war against are the losers. Such people extract from the nation, like trawlers sterilizing an ocean floor. Eventually there will be nothing left to extract. Then the winners become losers as well. Their win-lose game becomes lose-lose. But for the time being government believes itself the winner. It extracts, borrows and spends without limit. Even in the US there is censorship, and in Europe they are actively jailing people for wrongspeak and wrongthink. (A woman in the UK was jailed for silent prayer on the street). Governments start wars their cronies profit from and we bleed for. These are not the actions of a friend.
You may be thinking, “I don’t believe a word of it. Covid did come form a pangolin, the vaccine was safe and effective, heck, I get lockjaw weekly because the tetanus vaccine is a palliative not a preventative. Censorship is a good thing because that means people have something to say. Moreover, win-win is fiction, there are only win-lose or lose-lose interactions.” These are valid opinions based on the official narrative. You and I may grant the others the right to believe and say that… but those same people would deny us our voice. If your government doesn’t censor, wage stupid wars, extract from the nation, and set up win-win scenarios… that government is your friend. If it runs insane deficits, always needs more revenue, wages absurd wars, censors you, and wins at your loss… it is your enemy.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
