Dear Friends,
It seems to me, the thing the elite appear to have forgot, is that the world runs on trust. They have utterly discredited themselves with their lies, fraud and manipulation, and as a result… no one trusts them anymore. Since they live in an echo chamber it will take time for the news to penetrate. Without trust in the banks you take your money out, without trust of the media you stop listening, and without trust of the government’s impartiality, society becomes a universal war. Everyone at war with everyone, with only a veneer of civilization, stiffened by force, hiding the fact. Now that the elite have utterly discredited themselves, in every way, their only means of control is by violence, as in Ottawa. The stupid elite are ignorant of what they are squandering… the nation’s wealth, security and future.
The elite have discredited themselves with their lies, abuse of power and usurpations. Look at the myriad of examples since 2016. The day Trump was elected the democrats openly said, today the impeachment starts… and they did, twice, both times to cover and distract from their own crimes! The covid response by the elite has been a fiasco. The lies have flowed from the establishment like water from the Nile in flood. Not only creating the virus, and releasing it through stupidity or malevolence, they then withheld treatment from their victims! Of course covid is only one small example of the palace of lies the elite have built. From the Russian collusion hoax to the Afghanistan debacle, the elite have proven, over and over, they are pathological liars, who lie when the truth would serve them better.
Capitalism requires trust as a prerequisite for doing business. A legitimate role of government then is in fostering trust between market players. A government that instead creates distrust is one that is failing its obligation. It is actually lowering its own wealth. That cost comes at an advantage to the elite however. Despite lowering of the people’ standard of living, the wealth of the nation and the danger such actions create from foreign adversaries… it drastically lifts the lot of the elite, in wealth, power and opulence. In that way, an egoist might see that as a good deal, for him or her, despite the harm done to the nation, people and future. From this we can see that an elite that are conscientious, honorable and dutiful, will foster a wealthy nation, while those who are liars, will foster poverty.
Fortunately for the corporatist elite, socialism doesn’t require trust, only force. Moreover, the one flaw in past socialist utopias, like Nazi Germany, Pol Pot’s Cambodia, Mao’s China, Stalin’s USSR, etc… is the lack of total surveillance. Today we carry our monitor in our pocket. Through it the government can, and does, watch us, listen to us and keep track of where we are… “to prevent terrorism.” So that one flaw in totalitarianism is now fixed. The elite now can know who is subversive, and send only the subversives to the gulags, solving another problem. Trust is nothing a socialist nation needs or wants. Trust is a capitalist ideal that feeds white supremacy. Fear is what socialist countries need, fear of government, fear of each other and fear of discovery. Socialism has outgrown the need for trust.
Our world is not firing on all eight cylinders. The elite claim it is because you and I have the audacity to ride to work, heat our homes and use electric lights. I say that they drive the car, if it is in a ditch, they are the ones who put it there. Sacrificing the country being uninvadable, the nation’s wealth and the people’s liberty, to their egoism. The lies, fraud and conniving are why Russia is at war with Ukraine today, why we have inflation and why questions have become insurrection. The elite have proven themselves to be incompetent, stupid and corrupt. Let’s replace them, and protect ourselves from the elite ever becoming so diabolical, ever again. Their lies as much as their poor governance has discredited them, and earned them a place in history… as stupid degenerate swindlers.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
