Disband The FBI Posted on October 5, 2024 by john Dear Friends, It seems to me, at this point the FBI needs to be disbanded. The organization has become too corrupt to repair. It has to be eliminated, and if in a decade or so people are foolish enough, some other federal law enforcement agency can be created. How could I say the FBI is beyond repair? History, pragmatism and the Pareto distribution. The history of the FBI is one of corruption. From J Edgar the cross dresser and blackmailer to today’s FBI that specializes in false flags and frame jobs. They’re as corrupt as a dead hog next to I 20. If we judge a thing pragmatically… by results, then the FBI has to go. It keeps visiting oppression on us while allowing crimes to go unchecked. Finally, there’s the Pareto distribution. Which is the most damning reason the FBI and indeed the deep state is beyond reform. The history of the FBI is one of utter corruption. J Edgar Hoover was a deeply disturbed man. The utter corruption the FBI it started with was sweetened by their history of failure. Ruby ridge was not only a disaster for the dead family, but highlighted the pure malevolence of the FBI. Of course who could forget the Waco siege. Started for nothing illegal but ending in the burning to death of dozens of people including children. If we go back to the FBI’s heydays, the 1940s… where were they when Alger Hiss was selling American secrets to the Soviet Union? He was a top man in the administration. What an intelligence failure that was! Or was it a failure? Maybe they turned a blind eye? We’ll never know, but we do know, at the time J Edgar had a dossier on everyone in power. The FBI doesn’t as much stop crime… as creates it, then exploits it for political purposes. Take the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping frame job. Where the FBI infiltrated a club and pushed them to commit a crime. The members said, “No your crazy.” The FBI put more and more infiltrators into the club, until the FBI infiltrators outnumbered the patsies, voted to do the crime… then indicted the marks for it! Getting Gretchen Whitmer a ton of votes in a year she had a tough race. Plus vilifying American citizens for speaking out against usurpation. Even then it took double jeopardy and denying them their Rights to get them convicted. The field agent in charge was sent to Washington DC to oversee the January 6 frame job. Which he did splendidly. Both are evidence the FBI is beyond reform. The Pareto distribution applies not only to highways, income and creative output… but to ethics as well. In any organization then, 20% of the people will exhibit 50% of the ethics. The other 80% having the rest of the ethics, morals, standards, etc… So if an organization drives out the 20% with ethics, that leaves the 80% without them in charge. As the FBI has done. Which means, those ethical people are no longer a moment of inertia that has to be overcome, for the organization to become evil incarnate. The elite at all the three letter agencies have expunged those with ethics, morals and good from their fiefdoms. By forcing out the good, and leaving only the bad, those organizations have become bad. Which means the FBI, CIA, NSA, ATF, IRS, etc… all need to be eliminated, not merely reformed. While those are all good reasons to dismantle the deep state, the most pressing one is the damage that it’s doing to the fabric of our republic, economy and society. They fray the fabric of trust by their corruption, they corrode the foundations of our republic with their usurpations as our economy is hollowed out by the political law enforcement. We need to be pragmatic. Instead of focusing on the sunk cost, let’s pry the rotting and dead hogs from the wheel well. They’re holding us back. If the bureaucrats are as smart as they claim, they’ll be rich in no time. So don’t worry about them. Worry about your future and that of your kids. Demand from your representatives and senators, to get rid of the deep state, the FBI, ATF, CIA, NSA, etc… for the sake of our nation, it’s people and the future. Sincerely, John Pepin
Government Profligacy Posted on September 27, 2024 by john Dear Friends, It seems to me, no matter how frugal you or I may be, the government’s profligacy puts us in debt anyway. While temperance was a fundamental American ethos, at the founding, the elite have made it passe. Leading by example, the elite’s opulent and hedonistic lifestyle, has oozed down to the whole of society. Where their spendthrift really comes out is when they’re spending other people’s money. Then, the cause must be funded, no matter how counterproductive. It’s the thought that counts. So the elite have made it impossible to live by Ben Franklin’s advice… to be thrifty. Because no matter how individually frugal a person may be, government has spent him and her into bankruptcy. We could, spend like a drunken sailor, try to disengage or step up and do something about it. The elite only see an income problem, their spending is never the issue. The need is unlimited so the funds should be unlimited too. No matter how limited the well. If the government, billionaire or benevolent aliens, made everyone rich tomorrow, by next week there would be poor again. In a year the ratio would be 20% owning 80% of the wealth again. Once again the distribution of wealth would be by Pareto. No matter how many times the experiment was tried. The trick then isn’t to make everyone equal, that’s impossible, the trick is to make the bottom have a decent standard of living. Pragmatically, the only way to do it is by free markets. Nevertheless, government benefits from redistribution far more then those redistributed to. So government profligacy isn’t going away. The elite appear to be ignorant of how they lead by example. They seem to think they live in a bubble. Their actions don’t appear have consequences. But they do. People look up to those in power. Many follow their example. Because, if you want to get ahead, you follow the example of those who are ahead… not those who are behind. As a result, the ambitious follow the elite into corruption. Divorce was never a thing in the US… until Hollywood gave us exhilarating examples of it. The stars all had multiple failed marriages. Glamorizing divorce. Now, we’ve followed, and most of us have multiple failed marriages. Isn’t that progress? More to the point, the lack of temperance of our elite lead many of us to lack temperance. Lowering not only our lot but the lot of mankind. America was built on hard work, thrift and Christianity. The elite have worked diligently to eliminate all these societal myths. Bestowing upon us the country we have now. Crime ridden, hopeless, drug addicted, low family creation, low life satisfaction, dropping standard of living, normalized pedophilia, democracy free elections, censorship, and the courts openly defying the plain wording of our Constitution. Hard work has been replaced by the welfare state. Thrift has been replaced by opulence. Meanwhile, our once openly Christian nation has established materialist atheism as the State religion. Making Christianity unwelcome anywhere but in people’s hearts, and that’s being expunged with thought laws. Suggesting the goal all along… was to tear down America. We could follow our leaders like many have… and say what the hell. Carpe Diem. Live for the day. And borrow until the bank won’t lend us more. Then live in the bar ditch. Others might try to disengage. Use only cash, have no bills and be as independent of the system as possible. Like the Amish. But recent history shows, disengagement won’t work. They’re coming after all of us. Cut spending, leading to cuts in taxes and the deficit. How to cut? Lay off 99% of the bureaucracy. Including and especially the national security apparatus. Because they don’t protect us, they’ve become a mortal danger to us. Government intemperance is one of our biggest threats and therefore among our biggest problems. If we tackle it, it could be dealt with, if we give up, it’ll strangle us. Like Kudzu does to a hornbeam. Sincerely, John Pepin
Absurdity Cloaked In Jargon Posted on October 22, 2024 by john Dear Friends, It seems to me, everything the progressive’s say makes perfect sense, until you think about it, then you realize, it’s absurdity cloaked in jargon. Progressives in every nation rely on spurious logic to manipulate us into self harm. Some examples are, “a just nation has a low disparity between the rich and poor,” “Misinformation must be controlled,” and the ever famous, “democracy is at stake!” Each statement sounds true enough as long as you don’t think about it. But then again, who does? We’re busy people and so a quip, true or not, has more power to convince than a well thought out argument. Which is one reason the left is so panicked about their inability to create memes. A joke that exposes their absurdity is their greatest peril. Because it alerts the victims. Slogans, tropes and spin are ways to manipulate us. They define absurdity cloaked in jargon. There’s nothing like a simple to remember slogan. A few words that create an emotional reaction are the ideal tool of manipulation. Because an angry person is not a thinking person. People who aren’t thinking are easy to control. Slogans set up tropes. Mind viruses that hold our thoughts fast. So we don’t engage in wrongthink. Then there’s spin. If we see something we shouldn’t, and shock causes us to have too much to think, the elite can manipulate our reaction with spin. That laptop with all the damning information on it? Well, that’s only Russian disinformation. Don’t take Ivermectin for heavens sake! It’s horse medicine! The fact the IPCC lied, and made up data, is only proof of the urgency of climate change! The best tools of manipulation are self proving, obvious and arcane. Self proving is another way of saying circular logic. Why should there be a small discrepancy between the rich and poor for a nation to be just? Because justice requires the discrepancy to be small. To be obvious is to be simple to understand. Misinformation must be bad, it’s in the damned name! One way to make a slogan appear clever is to use words with undefined meanings. Keep it arcane. So no one actually understands what you’re saying. Then they put the definitions they want to your words and voila… minds are changed, logic is abused, and the economy is wrecked. Absurdity cloaked in jargon then is circular, simple to understand and filled with mercurial definitions. The modern absurdities we’re expected to believe uncritically have these things in common. They’re arcane. Because the terms are never defined. They’re spurious, because they sound logical but are intended to deceive. Plus they oversimplify. Since without definition and intended to fool they must oversimplify. Else they lose their effectiveness. Five words stick in the mind while fifty never make it past the ear. Especially five words that are left to us to define as our emotions command. What really is democracy, misinformation, rich or poor? Depends who you ask. Making those terms arcane and spurious. Quips sound smart so we often believe them uncritically. Making absurdity cloaked in jargon a nearly impervious political tool of control. Except it has a weakness. Memes, or visual jokes, are kryptonite to the progressive’s absurdity cloaked in jargon. They illustrate the absurdity, in a few words, and are humorous so stick in the mind. Vaccinating the recipient from the mind virus of slogans, jargon and spin. Moreover, progressives don’t have a sophisticated sense of humor, being low on the orderly aspect of the big five. Wit is the result of connecting two disparate ideas in an unexpected fashion. Those with overly open minds have all ideas connected and so they don’t understand the shock of unexpected connection that makes jokes work. Which makes memes a single edged sword for populists. Like slogans used to be for elitists. Absurdity cloaked in jargon has been very a effective tool of manipulation… memes may be the kryptonite we need to defeat them. Sincerely, John Pepin
The Narcissist And The Censor Posted on September 30, 2024 by john Dear Friends, It seems to me, censorship is to the state, as perfume is to a dead and rotting hog. It tries to cover a stench that can’t be covered. That’s why I suggest everyone read up on, and check out videos about narcissists… and how to deal with them. Because censorship is the ultimate expression of narcissism. The censor is fascinated by his or her own ideas, lacks empathy and is closed minded. Therefore, dealing with censors and those who are proponents of censorship, is just like dealing with a narcissist. The same tactics work on both. Since both use the same malevolent strategy to win… gaslighting, anger and the silent treatment. They expect their victim to be happy about knuckling under. Else the victim needs more oppression, to show them the error of their thinking. Narcissists believe they’re the most important person in any room. Arrogance and narcissism go together like poop and reek. That’s why they hate it when their stench is pointed out. Making it all the more important to go on and on about the odor in the room. If a narcissist can’t dominate you, they’ll flee. Moreover, once a narcissist is discovered, they move on to other people. Because strangers don’t know them and therefore are easy victims. That’s why the narcissist must have cover. Like a reek needs perfume. Lest they be discovered. Making a hurricane of anger their biggest friend. So the narcissist will insist that some things remain unspoken. Upon penalty of a fit of anger. Making censorship a critical weapon in the arsenal of the narcissist and narcissistic elite… a censor. Narcissists and censors are as predictable as rot and reek. They depend and rely on our courtesy. They have zero courtesy but demand we treat them with kit gloves. Else that legendary anger comes out. We are supposed to see the world from their Bacon’s cave, live in their Bacon’s marketplace and believe their Bacon’s theatrics. To have independent thought is proof of our lack of wisdom. The narcissist and the censor however, have no need to see the world from our Bacon’s cave, marketplace or theater. That would be a waste of time, since they’re so much smarter, wiser, and dog gone it, just better people then the rest of us. Which means, if we reflect the rudeness we’re given, the narcissist will freak out, then move on. Once they know, we know… they’re narcissists. The narcissist uses gaslighting to get their way. Which is another stench of censorship. Censorship comes in a myriad of reeks. Gaslighting, unreturned courtesy and demanding silence are but a few. Of the three though, gaslighting is their favorite. Denying that which we all know to be true, and should we deny their lie, that makes us rude. I think it elates them somehow. Nevertheless, both the Narcissistic husband or wife, as well as the narcissistic elite, require us to believe that which we all know to be untrue. How many still believe Covid came from a Pangolin, there’s no difference between a boy and girl, or that a NATO army surrounding Russia makes Russia the aggressor. In narcissistic regimes… thought laws, right think and right speech is mandatory. You don’t give in to a narcissist or a censor. It only empowers them. Caving never gets them off your back, it only allows them to dig their filthy toe nails in, further. Agree to a lie and you’ve empowered the censor to lie more, and more egregiously. Don’t challenge a gaslight and the light will get ever dimmer until you stumble in the dark. Moreover, don’t stay silent. Speak even with a hurricane wind of anger coming at you. That hurricane has a limit. Though it may not seem so at the time. Once the narcissist and narcissistic elite realize you’re not going to shut up. They’ll move on. Having been discovered. Most of all though, never return rudeness with courtesy. Practice reciprocal attribution. These tactics work against the narcissist and the censor. Since they’re cut from the same toilet rag. Sincerely, John Pepin
Election Interference Under Color Of Law Posted on October 4, 2024 by john Dear Friends, It seems astonishing to me, that the expert managerial class and mockingbird media, fail to see the outright, open and notorious hypocrisy of Jack Smith filing election interference charges against Trump, as an October Surprise… to interfere with this election. Talk about self blindness, hypocrisy, or double standards. Maybe all of the above. He knows he has nothing to fear from Biden’s DOJ. They reek of political corruption like a hidden rotting mouse. Moreover, if his election interference works, he has nothing to fear. If it fails though, he might face consequences, for his openly engaging in election interference. Now that he has leprous skin in the game he’s all the more frantic that it works. Along with the rest of the corruptocrat crowd that runs the US today. Hypocrisy used to be the most discrediting thing anyone could be accused of, let alone prove in public. Like Jack Smith’s has with his antics. Public figures used to go to great lengths to hide even the hint of hypocrisy. That’s why Judges pretend to be so upright, doctors pretend to be so smart and politicians wear expensive cologne, to hide the stench that surrounds them. Today hypocrisy is everywhere and so has become normalized. We don’t think a thing of it when an elite flies a private jet to a global warming conference. Where they begrudge us heat for our homes. In fact, many chuckle at the open and notorious hypocrisy. Instead of being rightly outraged at it. Our leaders have discredited themselves with their hypocrisy, and if we had a smidgen of wisdom, we would laugh them out of power. The elite today utterly lack self awareness… being narcissists. They’re deficient in empathy, self important, are prone to fits of rage, entitled, only hang around with their “equals,” hate criticism, but love to criticize others. Doesn’t that sound like the ivory tower types? To them relationships are tools of power… not connections between human beings. What elite today eschews the opulence of power? Who chooses the interests of the nation over their own? Other than Trump. (Who’s lost millions maybe billions of dollars by stepping up). “Public service,” or more appropriately, Public Mastery, has never been more lucrative. Proven by the fact the most expensive neighborhoods in the US… are the suburbs of Washington DC. Beverly Hills is an open sewer compared to Spring Valley. Simple reversal proves the double standards of the elite better than any argument could. Moreover, where there are double standards, there are in fact, no standards. That’s when and where law is merely a tool of power, not of justice. Use reversal… What censor would tolerate him or herself being censored? Police want to videotape us in public, yet want to make it illegal for us to video them, in public? Why the open hypocrisy? Unless the police know they are engaging in crime. Bastiat’s Law writ large. What about perjury charges? The elite wanted Roger Stone to go to prison for the rest of his life for “perjury,” yet perjure themselves all the time, and it would be vindictive to hold them to the same standard. What if Obama’s house was raided early morning by the FBI? Would that be cool? That the elite are self blind, narcissistic hypocrites who see justice as did Thrasymachus… isn’t that astounding. Since that mindset is so self serving. What is astonishing, is the mockingbird media pretending they don’t see it, and our willingness to go along with the open corruption… like unconfirmed prosecutor Jack Smith’s rehashing of old charges, the Supreme Court has thrown out, to interfere with this election. The lack of outrage is because the hypocrisy has been so normalized we expect it. Plus, since Jack Smith has opened himself up to criminal charges, a just and rational AG is a threat… giving him a powerful incentive to make sure that doesn’t happen. As do all the corruptocrats in power. We’ve woken up to it though. That’s why Jack’s October surprise has fallen flat. Sincerely, John Pepin
Public Servants Posted on October 9, 2024 by john Dear Friends, It seems to me, the reason the term, “public servant” is no longer used, is because they are our masters, and masters chafe at being called a servant. Even for political appearances. That’s why a police officer becomes furious when told, “I pay your salary!” Because you don’t pay his salary, the money is taken from you at gun point. Try telling that to a mafia thug your paying protection money to. Its the exact same thing. Except one uses the power of the gun, by claiming the authority of a Constitution they despise, while as the other claims the power of the gun, in the face of the law. Public servants give orders and we obey. Moreover, they’re above their own laws and regulations. Since laws apply to the servants… not masters. That’s why calling a bureaucrats a public servant is a non sequitur. How can you tell a master from a servant? It was easy in the Victorian era in England. The servant served the master. The master didn’t serve the servant. If we apply that logic to today. We see that our bureaucrats, politicians and judges, serve themselves… not us. Moreover, we serve them as they see fit. Just like a Victorian Earl would order around a maid. They give the orders and we carry them out. Their every whim is manifested as law. Regardless of Constitutional restraint. Since they’re in a pinky swear to follow it… they don’t. Why should they? The elite are above the law. Examples abound of their getting away with actions that would put you or I behind bars for decades. Like, perjury, not paying taxes, buying prostitution, drunk driving, etc… Do you pay taxes willingly… or is the threat of armed agents showing up at your door, in a pre dawn raid, all the incentive you need? Do you sign off on the trillions in debt you and you’re kids are obligated to pay back? Heck, is your vote even fairly counted? These aren’t the qualities of someone who is a master. These are the attributes of servants. The servant has no say, is held to a higher standard, and is severely punished… to keep us in check. In many nations, that formerly claimed to be free, now simply posting your opinion on social media could get you imprisoned. In the US, make a joke that ridicules democrat voters as stupid, and the courts will send you to jail. The elite have eschewed Constitutional authority, for power which, “grows from the barrel of a gun.” Both the Cosa Nostra and the government use violence and the threat of violence to coerce us. The main difference is the Mafia only abuses those in their sphere of influence. “Civilians” are off limits. Meanwhile the government abuses everyone. No one’s safe. Like the old saying goes, “Whether or not you take an interest in politics, politics will take an interest in you.” If you don’t take out a loan from a loan shark, stay out of gambling debt, and don’t befriend criminals… you’ll probably never have to deal with organized crime. Buy property, earn money or educate your children though, and you’ll necessarily interact with a “public servant.” Which only goes to show… organized crime and government are cut from the same butt rag. But government demands we wash our face with it. Our public servants have become our public masters. Proven with their open hypocrisy. Even as bureaucrats lie under oath, like breathing, they exploit perjury traps as a legal weapon against the politically disfavored. Rendering hypocrisy into it’s most pure form. Government has become a tool of the elite to get their every whim met. Public servants are free to pass the most oppressive laws. Since those laws wont be applied to them. Only us. Any interaction with a “public servant” is fraught with peril. Masters are known for their surliness. Irk a public servant and you may get beat up by the cops then sent to prison. What’s the solution though? Less public servants. Limit government. Understand it can’t solve our problems. Stop saying, “there ought to be a law…” Then apply this mindset. Sincerely, John Pepin
Digital Anything Posted on October 16, 2024 by john Dear Friends, It seems to me, one thing that’s being proved before our eyes, is that digital anything isn’t secure, robust or safe. Whenever anything is made digital it’s become less secure, in that it’s exposed to hackers getting at it, and making that data public. Less robust, since it can be changed at the push of a button. Plus, it’s less reliable, because we simply don’t know if anything digital is truthful anymore. The rational default should be… no, if it appears digitally, it’s probably a lie, and if the government says it, it’s definitely a lie. A road to Hell, always leads to Hell. That’s why we need to push back against the Hegelian manipulation that’ll be used to push digital currency. How can we expect digital currency to go different, than digital voting, banking or healthcare? We can’t. CBDCs will be a nightmare. Digital voting has been a total catastrophe. When the ballots were on paper, verifiable and hand counted, the results were in within an hour of the polls closing. Even as digital has ushered in an age where it can take days. Now that’s efficiency… or is it? With digital voting, the results are subject to change, depending on the whims of the hackers that find their way into the machines. Of course, with digital voting, there’s no need of voter ID… digital has made the whole thing a theater anyway. Electronic voting has taken political agency from citizens and placed it in the hands of the elite. As the elite did with freedom of speech, jury sentencing and contacting our representatives free through the mail. We can say that digital voting has alleviated us of the burden of blame. Since it makes us pawns. Social media is censored and politically correct ideas are promoted by digital magic. Rendering our ability to communicate subject to political intervention. To make sure we only talk about approved subjects in the approved manner. Else the elite claim we’re engaging in misinformation, disinformation, or maybe even malinformation. Call ’em what you will, they all mean, wrongthink. In promoting the power of the elite the digital age has been a demon send. It can make a lie appear to be reality. Digital technology has made surveillance, categorizing people and censoring, far more efficient. While it’s made communicating betwixt each other fraught with legal ramifications. Again, the introduction of digital technology to voting and communication has made them less secure, less safe and less reliable. If we go to a doctor… Our personal information is on the Dark Web, or soon will be, due to the incessant hacking done to digital servers. You don’t even have had to do business with a company for them to have all your personal information… dangling on an unsecured server. Just waiting to be plucked by a smart hacker and sold on the Dark web. Soon, it’ll be impossible to take out a loan because we won’t be able to identify ourselves… short of DNA, retinal scan or a fingerprint. Instead of facilitating commerce, the introduction of digital technology has introduced a myriad of security concerns. There’s no denying digital technology has unburdened us of the need to think though. Weakening our minds accordingly. As any muscle left flaccid long enough becomes weak. Instead of making information more credible, accessible and truthful, the digital revolution has made information more dangerous, unsecured, censored and manipulated. Given the history of digitizing things… can you imagine the utter catastrophe a digital currency would be? Combining the disaster of digital voting, with the censorship of social media, along with a total lack of personal security. The trifecta of prosperity liquidators. Then again, there are those who think, just because an action has always resulted in the same outcome… doesn’t mean it will, this time. Like jumping off a cliff… eventually, someone might sprout wings and fly. Wouldn’t that be great! Digital technology could make it appear to happen, as the bodies are hauled off. Maybe we should rethink the digital revolution? Sincerely, John Pepin
