Dear Friends,
It seems to me, it cannot be denied… we live in post Constitutional America now. Prior to the Kung Flu, we could delude ourselves that our leaders were following our Constitution, even if they openly call it a “living breathing document.” Now however, that glittering lie has been shattered, not only by the extra constitutional actions of our governors and legislatures in the various states, but the court system itself has stepped forward as the primary enemy of our Constitution, and objective justice itself, the very document and founding principles they are there to protect… very progressive. Our entire apparatus of government has abandoned our founding principles for self serving ones. That psychopaths would do such a thing is not surprising, what is shocking though, is our lack of response.
There is an old saying, I think it was Tocqueville, democracy only lasts as long as the people don’t realize, they can vote themselves money from the treasury, at someone else expense. That is true enough, but the Founding Fathers made the US a Republic. A parallel quip could be, A Republic only lasts as long as the elite don’t discover, the more they fail, the more money and power they are given. That is a far more appropriate truism than the first. We know this to be factual because we are surrounded by incompetent else perverted politicians. Their corruption or incompetence has reached a crescendo such that they have broken the system that sustains them. Like when the ancient Maya would throw the corpses of their sacrifices into their own water supply. Forcing them to abandon their cities.
No system can withstand too many of it’s parts working counter to their intended function. A mechanical device is prone to breakdown if even a single part doesn’t work. Say a spark plug that doesn’t spark, a baring that doesn’t bare up, or oil that stops lubricating. A complex system however is far more resilient. Many parts can actually run counter to their function, and a complex system will work, albeit at a diminished capacity. In our complex system, our politicians do the opposite of their oaths, our judges rule subjectively not objectively, our bureaucracy in and of itself is unconstitutional and our access to information in the information age, is limited by the very companies that are tasked with giving us access to information. All pathologically doing the opposite of their purpose.
In our system, many of the most important parts have become so corrupted by their leaders, they actually run counter to their intended role. The courts have become the enemy of justice and our Constitution, the Legislature has become the friend of kleptocracy, our Executives subscribe to the same ethos as most Roman Emperors, lazy, incompetent and corrupt. That the system functions at all with so many of it’s parts broken is a testament to it’s resiliency. It cannot work forever under such a load though. Even the best crafted complex system, tested and evolved over decades, cannot long withstand actual treason from it’s primary nexuses. The actions of our new class elite show their intent and corruption. They apparently seek to replace the US system with a Soviet, Nazi or Maoist one.
When a person who openly admits trying to murder someone, because of their political affiliation, and is not charged, while the intended victim is charged with Murder one for self defense, the legal system’s leaders are doing the opposite of their jobs. They’re not following justice but a political agenda. Politicians who shut down churches, but allow abortion clinics to stay open, while at the same time deliberately infecting nursing homes with Covid, are not trying to save lives, they are exploiting supposed stupidity for more power and money. All leading inevitably to the conclusion, with so many of our leaders openly doing the opposite of what they are supposed to, without consequence… we no longer live under a Constitutional system, but an arbitrary one instead. Post Constitutional America.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
