Dear Friends,
It seems to me, Biden’s presidency has shown what rule by bureaucracy is. He’s their man, he was appointed, not elected, and since he has late stage dementia, he’s an ideal hand puppet for the deep state. No debacle under his term has been his fault. They’re all the responsibility of the experts, the “new class,” that runs the bureaucracy. From the immigration disaster, to the world war that’s breaking out as you read this, every problem that’s been created under Biden, is the administrative state’s fault. Which means, the constant parade of failures after catastrophe, the first two decades of the twenty first century, is proof bureaucracy is inept, corrupt and stupid. Like the singular lesson of the Twentieth Century, that communism and socialism are failures, the Twenty First is proving bureaucracy a failure.
Biden isn’t in charge, the people around him are. They make the decisions, not the man who can’t find his way off stage, gets confused about who he’s talking to, and shakes hands with ghosts. Someone else is in charge, and they’re fearless, since Biden takes all the political risk. Then again, with Biden’s diminished mental capacities, he doesn’t know anyway. Give him an ice cream cone and he’s happy. The administration is filled with administrative state types. People with more degrees than a blast furnace. How could such brilliant people fail? Yet that’s all they do… fail. Is anything going right since the deep state took office? Foreign policy failures in new wars and lost old ones, the economy is in shambles with inflation running at least twice the official figures, and crime is out of control.
The buck stops with the man, or people, in charge. The people in charge in the US today, the faction of the administrative state, also called the progressives, globalists and corporatists, are where the buck stops now. They’re driving the car so all the new dents are their fault. Being so smart, they’ve figured out a way to skate on consequences for their epic failures. They distract and claim plausible deniability. Even as the elite stand before us with a straight face and claim, clear cutting the rain forest to provide food because they shut down European farms will save the planet, the elite need to decide what color your car should be to keep you safe, and Sending tens of billions to Ukraine to fight a war we don’t have a dog in, is more important than protecting our citizens.
The Twentieth Century taught us one lesson, if we are willing to learn it, that lesson is, communism and socialism lead to humanitarian disasters, everywhere and every time they’re tried. The Twenty first has shown us the administrative state also leads to humanitarian disasters. Lacking consequences for their failures, they go on to fail ever more spectacularly. With all the negative outcomes for the people of the world. Heartless, the bureaucrats at the top see permanent war, as a desirable thing. It insures their power lasts and grows. Since the post modernist, progressive faction that are zealous defenders of arbitrary power and the global administrative state, are the hegemonic faction in the West today, we’re treated to a constant barrage of propaganda, lies and censorship. Just like communism.
I wonder if our posterity will learn the lessons? We clearly didn’t. Perhaps a better way to put it is, the elite didn’t learn the lessons. Maybe it’s because 100 million regular people suffered the instruction while the elite watched, and often orchestrated it, from an opera box. Today the administrative state is off to a great start in proving its inhumanity, ineptitude and stupidity. The biolab experiment that escaped, Covid, killed millions, and the vaccine the elite forced us to take is killing even more. Fentanyl has killed over a million Americans in the last decade, the world war the elite have ginned up is killing people whole sale, and wait until China gets involved. This and more is what we can expect from the administrative state. Until it’s recognized as the disaster it is… and done away with.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
