Dear Friends,
It seems to me, we live in a day and age where what is clearly written in the Constitution is ignored, while that which is not written in it, is called sacrosanct constitutional law. The only rational conclusion one can reach from this, is that we live in post constitutional times, or post constitutional America. Probably the most pernicious form of arbitrary rule. To have the appearance of constitutional limitations when it is actually a cover for arbitrary rule. Which must devolve to adjudicating constitutional law depending on the political favor of the applicant. Which, not shockingly, is what we observe happening in our courts today. Not that it hasn’t always been a problem, but they are so blatant today, it has come out into the open. Exposing the ugly visage of oppression in rose lipstick.
No one can argue with a straight face, that the Second Amendment is followed, nor the First as it pertains to the press, Julian Assange, New York Post and Project Veritas, for examples. The First Amendment’s protection of freedom of religion has been perverted to freedom from religion. Protection in our personal papers has become a standing joke in the era of the NSA. Ask President Trump how attorney client privilege works today. January 6 was not an insurrection of the people, against a lawful authority, but of an unlawful authority against the Constitution’s First Amendment’s Right, to peaceably assemble for a redress of grievances. In that case, to address the mountains of evidence that the 2020 election was an open fraud. Instead the FBI created a false flag to discredit any investigation.
Meanwhile the Lucifer lobby is apoplectic about allowing states to ban abortion. They claim it is a blatant violation of the Constitution. Where is it written you may ask? No one really knows, ask a dozen constitutional lawyers and you will get two dozen answers. All of them word salad. We used to be told it was a protection of doctor patient confidentiality, but Obama care blows that story out of the water, with its provision requiring doctors to judge the suitability of their patients to own guns, and to report gun ownership of those deemed inept to the authorities. Regardless of its justification now, it is a wholly invented “constitutional right” that is now sacrosanct within the Lucifer lobby. The church of Satan is now demanding the courts admit abortion as a Religious Right. Moloch must be fed after all.
Arbitrary rule is how Aristotle defined tyranny. A philosopher once said that if you have to live under a tyranny, arbitrary tyranny is the worst. Because when tyranny is coded in law, at least even the tyrant must follow it, giving some recompense to the oppressed. In arbitrary tyranny however, the oppressed have no legal recourse… other than the charity of the oppressor. The thing about oppressors though, is that they tend to lack empathy. This is the case if the oppressor is a tyrant, oligarchy or democratic tyranny of the majority over the minority. Socrates was condemned by a free and fair democratic vote. One that was immediately rued after the sentence was carried out. Nonetheless, arbitrary rule, no matter what its instrument, is the worse form of government, especially when disguised as Constitutional rule.
You have to hand it to the elite in the US, to have so effectively perverted the Constitution into a document that enforces arbitrary rule, (the opposite of its intent), is pure genius. Evil genius to be sure but genius nonetheless. If any justice is to be served, the malevolent elite responsible for perverting our Constitution would be charged, tried and if guilty, sentenced as severely as a redheaded orphan. The mask is off, and everyone sees the hideous face of the oligarchy. As Emperor Palpatine, the more they use their evil power to pervert the Constitution, the uglier they get. Lacking any sense of self awareness they continue gleefully. The oligarchy becomes more repulsive by the moment, which will drive everyone from them, sooner or later. Bringing back actual Constitutional rule… if we demand it.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
