Dear Friends,
It seems to me, our elites are using the impeachment, like Pericles used the ostracism… to do the opposite of their reason for existing. Pericles, the ancient Athenian ruler, exploited his arbitrary power to get any would be rival, ostracized. Like the progressive faction uses the impeachment to go after political dissidents, to establish a one party state. Both examples use a power given to limit the power of the elite to oligarchy, and especially a single elite from becoming a tyrant… to abetting those very crimes. The establishment went after Trump twice, once to hide the Biden crime family’s crimes in Ukraine, the second to further the crime of election rigging in the 2020 election. They also went after Ken Paxton for standing up to their unconstitutional edicts, rulings and regulations.
Ken Paxton stood up to the administrative state during the Covid fiasco. With the passage of time and cooler heads, as it turns out, the administrative state was wrong about everything. From the mask mandates, to the vaccine mandates, everything they did was wrong and led to worse outcomes for humanity. Not to mention creating Covid in a lab in the first place. So when a State Attorney General, Pen Paxton, stood up to them, they had to do something. They were outside of Constitutional limits by a long shot, and they knew it. So, like any rabid dog, they attacked. They called their bootlicks in the Texas House and ordered them to impeach Paxton in the dark of night… without evidence. So they did. Just like Pericles, they used a mechanism to control corruption, to forward corruption.
Soros Prosecutors, Like Big Fanny, and Alvin Bragg, who use their positions of authority to abuse the electoral process, are why the founding fathers put impeachment into the Constitution. As a mechanism to remove obviously corrupt players, like them, from positions where they can damage our republic by their corruption. That they are immune to impeachment, but those who stand up to the deep state are subject to impeachment in the dark of night, is a sure sign impeachment is being used to the opposite of its intent. Exactly as Pericles used the Ostracism to silence his political adversaries, today’s progressives are using impeachment, as well as licensure and reputational destruction, to silence theirs. If that doesn’t work, they simply censor, and the US Supreme Court stands behind their censorship.
Now that one of theirs, Biden, is under investigation to impeach, in full view of the public, not in the dark of night, the progressive faction is freaked out. They claim McCarthy is weak because of it. I agree, weak because he couldn’t hold the conservatives from impeaching the obvious criminal. Biden is on the face of it, guilty of influence peddling, all other crimes are subservient to that. Yet he isn’t charged with influence peddling? I wonder why? The clues are obvious, we have evidence of Hunter putting Dad on the phone to Burisma, the discussion of payment for getting rid of the prosecutor, Biden got rid of the prosecutor, and then more phone calls discussing the consequences of not paying up. That is prima facia evidence of influence peddling, bribery and a host of cascading crimes to cover them up.
Impeachment was instituted to stop corruption, as Solon implemented the ostracism, to stop arbitrary rule. Yet both have been turned to their opposite. Pericles, while ostensibly avoiding politics, exploited the ostracism to vanquish his political foes. Our modern versions of Pericles have used their authority to silence, intimidate and destroy those who wouldn’t parrot their lies. Make no mistake, that’s exactly why Trump is under indictment in several states and the corrupt federal district of DC. That’s why Paxton was impeached in the dark of night and is now the subject of an FBI witch hunt. Wouldn’t it be more practical to use the impeachment against corruption instead of to promote corruption? Impeaching corruptocrats like Biden, Fanny and Bragg is why the Founders put it in our Constitution.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
