Criminal Impunity and Elite Overreaction

Posted on January 16, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the elite’s reaction to Donald Trump’s election in 2016 and now, illustrate their fear of being caught. Notwithstanding the fact no one has even been charged for the myriad of crimes they committed. Nevertheless, … Continue reading →

Canada And The Central Planning Trap

Ivy League Reputations

Posted on January 4, 2026 by john

Pathological Societies

Posted on January 2, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, in a psychopathic society, like Animal Farm… any act of goodwill is taken as a sign of weakness and used against the virtuous. Psychopaths don’t reciprocate, they manipulate. Psychopathic societies are the same. Moreover, … Continue reading →

The Corruption Point

Posted on December 24, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, once corruption in government has got to a certain point, we could call it the CP, or Corruption Point, that government is unsalvageable. Why? Because any whistleblower who exposes the corruption will be attacked … Continue reading →

Double Standards Destroy Civilization

Posted on December 21, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the most efficient way to obliterate a civilization is with double standards. The stronger the double standards, the sooner that civilization will collapse into violence, poverty, and want. The reason is that perverse incentives … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Kingly power in a saint brings out ferocity,It seldom makes a villain learn generosity,So forsooth,Here’s a truth,Unlimited power leads to unlimited atrocity. Villains will give you the dickens,As your pulse and pace quickens,We act out of fright,And some … Continue reading →
