Dear Friends,
It seems to me, the authoritarians have a pretty good plan, pass so many laws and regulations that it becomes impossible not to inadvertently break one, then raid the politically disfavored with the intent to find the crime… brilliant, if evil. The philosophy is a fallback to the idea of, “show me the man and I’ll find you the crime…” Unfortunately, Trump has proven it is often hard to find a crime, so to rectify the situation, the elite are passing so many laws, regulations and ordinances, no one is not a criminal. Everyone exists as long as they don’t draw the eye of law enforcement. Because a nation so filled with laws, everyone must be a criminal, is a nation terrified of its government. Such a system puts a long lever on everyone. The Jan 6 trespassers are the example of what happens to real dissidents.
Back when the elite paid lip service to the law, precedent and our Constitution, there was a concept known as police harassment. It is where the police would harass a politically disfavored individual using law as a weapon. Today that is an outdated notion. Because it is now common practice. Look no further than President Donald Trump. The administrative state’s treatment of him can only be classified as harassment… and the harassment continues with unwarranted raids of his home. Sooner or later, they will get something to stick, and Trump will go to prison. Not for being a bad guy, but for challenging the system. Years ago this strategy would have backfired, because of the overt harassment, now we are inured to the stench of government oppression. Even the Amish are being raided.
“Swatting” is a new word that has made it into the lexicon. It means to call the police, and fraudulently report a crime at a politically disfavored person’s home, with the intent to get them killed in a police raid. Very progressive! Margery Tailor Greene was recently swatted twice. As far as I know, not a single person has been arrested for it, yet. They probably will not either. Until someone swats a democrat. If you think of it, swatting is only an extension of exploiting law, as a political weapon. The mechanism is the same as is the goal. Destroy anyone who would oppose the elite by any means possible. So now we have swatting. I wonder how long before the mocking bird media is outraged? That lack of outrage is how we know that swatting is a state sanctioned activity.
Sooner or later, even with a mocking bird media clucking whatever lie suits the elite, the people will wake up. We will realize that law is arbitrarily written, applied and prosecuted. That law is only a means to control the herding masses, not insure a stable society, facilitate commerce or protect the individual, but as a projection of power. Once that happens, then no one will respect the law as anything but something to be feared, like a wasp nest, and to be obliterated as soon as possible, like a wasp nest. No sane person allows something so dangerous to live. There are almost no mountain lions in North America because they were dangerous and so were exterminated. The elite should take a lesson from the experience of mountain lions, small pox and wolves.
Nevertheless, this strategy is working for them, for now. Passing so many laws everyone is a criminal, and exists at the suffrage of the state, not the other way around. This tactic is bolstered by arbitrarily applying the law. With the innovations of swatting political dissidents and unwarranted raids, the elite have taken their usurpation up a notch. They have proven themselves to be a real danger to us. A much greater threat than lions, wolves or disease. For they consume us like lions, gather in packs like wolves and carry disease like vermin. What happens next depends on how well they have cowed us. Will we accept oppression, as a matter of doing business, or will we stand? Few strive, most bend the knee, to their political iconography, so I suspect we will cede, (if we haven’t already) and let them eat us alive.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
