Confidence And Humility Posted on October 11, 2024 by john Dear Friends, It seems to me, one of the biggest problems I have with the expert class… is their stupidity. Foolishness that can be summarized as the paradox of the preface. Where all human beings are subject to being wrong, even when we’re confident we’re right, so certainty is absurd. A common example is, “a book starts by claiming everything in it is true, but the author admits he could be wrong.” Wise people understand that they can’t always be right. Even someone who knows all humanity knows, about a given subject, only knows as much as humanity… and no more. Moreover, language is a poor vessel to carry certain ideas. Which makes censorship, laws for our own benefit and regulations to force change… literal absurdities, foisted on us by confident fools. To be human is to be subject to error. Those then who think themselves always right, are stupid. As the certain in themselves, are fools, those who follow them are tools. Tools of disaster. Because even if a would be despot is right 99%, he or she is wrong 1% of the time. That 1% quickly fluffs up to catastrophe, when someone with unlimited power implements it. Humility isn’t a weakness, as many narcissists think, it’s wisdom in action. You don’t see many humble people ushering in genocides, revolutions or wars. That’s for the confident. Those who used law to force vaccination were confident they were right. The results are, perhaps millions of deaths from the side effects, and millions of children with heart ailments as well. Certainty leads to atrocities while humility leads to blessings. Mankind is in our teenage years when it comes to knowledge of the universe. We think we know it all. So our experts think they know it all too. They don’t know what they don’t know. But in a century, they’ll look back at us an laugh, like we laugh at the doctors who used leeches in the Middle Ages. It won’t take as long because the rate of learning is accelerating. Therefore, our experts may have the best of intentions, but being ignorant of their ignorance, makes them overly certain of their conclusions. Thinking to themselves, “I know all there is to know about X, Y and Z.” Not considering, all there is to know, doesn’t include all that’s knowable… simply all that’s known. This is another way the certain, confidently lead us into disaster, after atrocity. Later, the humble lead us back out. Then there’s the confidence that comes from the ability to manipulate language. As Kung Sung Lung’s famous analogy proved… “A white horse is not a horse but a black or yellow one is…” Illustrating the weakness of language and why it only approximates reality and thought. Because our very ideas of words change from person to person. Take the word dog. When you imagine a dog you probably imagine an archetype, based on a dog you saw or had as a kid, as I do. The thing is, we aren’t basing them on the same dog. So our ideas differ about a word as basic as dog. How much more so about the words, law, capitalism and government? Arrogant people use language to manipulate. Humble people use language to communicate. While wise people understand language is an expedient. Certainty then is associated with foolishness… and humility with wisdom. No wonder the world is in the shape its in. The foolishly confident charge to lead, while the humble and wise stand back, unwilling to make a mess of things. Those who are certain never expect to create disasters after their atrocities. They confidently believe they will usher in a new Eden. Once they break a few eggs. That has been the mindset of every person who’s committed an atrocity. They’re confident in their truth. Never imagining they could be wrong, they don’t know all that’s knowable, or they could be manipulated. That’s why I say, stupid fools are certain, so they commit atrocities. That’s how we identify them. They censor, don’t listen, and are willing to commit any atrocity… to save the world.. Sincerely, John Pepin
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
Hello to all. I entered this in September's contest on Free Speech, but somehow, it got lost along the way. Although the winning essays were excellent presentations, to my mind, they were more like legal briefs or reductionist reports rather than essays providing a synthesis and continuity of flow on the subject. For example, Neoplatonist2 won my praise and even submission. So, Let's try again, shall we? Neo-Arendtists promote “Responsibility
to Protect and judicial intervention by the International Criminal Court (ICC),”
to protect us from evil. (1) Deeming international jurisprudence sufficient,
they’d suspend all state sovereignty to lower humanity’s savage recidivism
rate,(2) even as politically-correct rhetoric salts us with the hubris (3) that
successfully devolves ‘new species of
terrifyingly normal criminals’ (4) — including flash mobs of vulgar
opportunists, proud robocops, and high-chaired, potty-trained, GED-certified,
remote mass murderers of complete strangers. Meanwhile cosmopolitans fail to
establish an existentially moral consensus that develops trustworthy
governance. But there is hope. Colleges of the ‘New Physics’ hold ‘intrinsic dualism’ a worthy
postulate. They include 'underdetermination’,
(9) Rupert Shedrake’s "morphic
resonance”, (10) and the U. S. Air Force’s teleportation studies that
intentionally produced “mixed-gauge
symmetry”. (11) This might upset many who refuse to restrain e-doers from the overreach that upsets
nature’s balanced symbiosis; a marriage bathed in the apposition of cautious
opposition. Perhaps this is why scripture warns against surrender to e-inclinations that cause net-negative
outcomes. Peace-on-earth plus a delightfully deathless life-to-come in the
absence of culpable wrong-doers attracts folks in search of scapegoats to
soothe the guilt-ridden rash that prevents the cited symbiosis. Forensically,
this leaves beneficent, maleficent, and neutral inclinations in a cage-fight to
avoid absolute censure as culpable wrong doers. If ties-that-bind are conditional (12), perhaps cause-and-effect are also (?), such that acting out per Calder's e-desire sets, or Garrard's e-motivations (13) subjects one to being cut from the team of perpetual good guys. If true, e-motivational proclivities theoretically identify principal delinquencies that give just cause to forbid e-autonomy (14), to include censure, exile, and/or capital punishment. Accordingly, criteria that establish e-principles are of forensic concern, especially if the bench regards supernal justice. Moreover, because “criticisms motivated by reasons other than a desire to improve the legal system are not justified”(15), authority of censure attends the bench rather than congress, parliament, boardroom, or king. Hence, executives have no authority of censure without court approval, pending due process. Arguable, but that’s what the bench is for. Nonetheless, e-executives prefer delete-able motives, histories, and testimonies prepared by Departments of 'Just-Us' in DC, London, Moscow, or University Park, Ltd.(16). Indeed, stasi-bumpkins commonly obsess over the critical textual censorship of inconvenient truth versus PR-demographics that guarantee Disneyland, DC, or Downing & Wall Street success — a far cry from the pragmatic moral purview of Roman Censors before tyrants dictated to sibyls and priests (17). Without it, imaginative desperation also allowed the ancients to
scapegoat lone assassins as well as animals, and sub-human ‘others’: including
children, virgins, and godly folks who knew how to make a natural poultice.
(19) Indeed, the highest supernal indemnity recorded thus far sues for
restoration and dominion in Mons Edan with exceptional perquisites, including
especial pre-dispensations when clusters of hand-delivered bombs or black flags
and germs attain sacralized ends. This highly imaginative fantasy floats e-exceptionalism east and west in tandem
with pagan precedents and holy suicides under e-institutional auspices. Because Amorite regents and Keke’s moral idiots remain (20), the ordeal’s longevity recapitulates; which lends the narrative merit and even champions a necessary ‘Causal Supernal Source’ of sensible bosons. Yet, Pauli, Jung, and Bohr summarily dismissed such determinism by abandoning the complementary balance that governs ever-tenuous certainty (21). This reductionist bent surrendered numerous academies to a Malthusian swarm of statisticians who hate right-brained modesty; whereupon we abandoned moral empiricism to re-birth shock and awe in littoral regions of Babylon’s ancient basin. Their offspring then seeded humanity with 9/11, deadly germs, and mRNA mania minus the poultice of truth. Perhaps it is wise to revisit determinism in light of Noetic Science (22) if we wish to determine effective institutions of benefit for all. A mere suggestion, mind you, as investigations cannot proceed without politically-correct outcomes commanded by Departments of ‘Just-Us’ who prowl the great panopticon of post-modern collusion. Thus, I advocate departments of justice that: - Render censorship, not unto Caesars, but unto unbeholden, qualified courts; - Put e-motivated agents and agencies speedily in the dock (23); disallows exceptional dispensations for executive privilege; and by-passes Fifth Amendment liars with irrepressible evidence and/or argument; - Assure a good-faith gendarmery whose bench is above reproach and encompassed by third-party, respected elders without ties-that-bind them to PC-favoritism: informed, worthy praetors who are dangerously capable and not necessarily lawyers; - Do not promote or tolerate ‘noble lies’; - Deem lying-to or by government agents a crime; corrects untruths; removes proven liars from authority. - Authorize regional administrators who are known, respected, and accepted by qualified local franchise holders. For if governance be e-inclined, then what else until the eschaton is spent and amity restored? REFERENCES 1 Royer, C. (2021).

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
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
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
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
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
Reversal And Balance Posted on October 18, 2024 by john Dear Friends, It seems to me, if your logic doesn’t stand reversal… it’s wrong. Examples are, censorship, double standards and all forms of despotism. The woke believe that some should be coddled while others should be exposed to uncomfortable facts. Though, should those groups be reversed, the coddled group exposed to uncomfortable facts, and the disfavored group, coddled… the proponents of woke ideology would be outraged. Proving their hypocrisy. When reversal doesn’t work it creates a logical tension… imbalance. The Mpemba effect is a scientific fact that doesn’t stand reversal, and so is counter intuitive, and downright illogical. Because, if hot water freezes before cold water, then why doesn’t cold water boil faster than hot water? Reversal balances logic, morality and ideas. The Golden Rule is reversal in morality. The Golden Rule says, “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” A perfect statement of reversal. It admonishes us to think of how we want to be treated, then reverse it, and apply it to others. Simplicity is the hallmark of truth. Not oversimplification, but simple laws that are reversible and apply universally. Despite the Taoist argument against universals. E=MC^2 is an example of a universal law that’s both simple yet explains the complex… as is the Golden Rule. All morality can be described by reversal and no immoral act can be justified by reversal. No murderer wants to be murdered, no con man wants to be conned, and no censor wants to be censored. Morality and hypocrisy are illustrated and balanced by reversal. Reciprocal attribution is another example of reversal. Put simply, reciprocal attribution is to reverse the attribution another puts on us, by applying it to them. We can’t treat someone trying to murder us as a close friend, trusting a con is stupid, and accepting censorship is a sure path to despotism. That’s why the wise reciprocate in all things… especially attribution. This form of reversal is the basis for the fundamental right of self protection. The defender isn’t the aggressor. The defender is reacting to aggression. Or in other words, reversing the aggression, to the aggressor. To do that, the defender must attribute sub human status to the aggressor, as the aggressor has attributed subhuman status to the defender. Reversal then informs us of right behavior, and gives balance, even in chaotic circumstances. All forms of despotism are discredited by reversal. Censorship, lawfare, propaganda, etc… are examples where the perpetrator wouldn’t want those measures applied to themselves. The hypocrites. Tyrants aren’t known for their spartan lifestyles. Opulence at the cost to others is the way presidents for life roll. Reverse it though and the despot becomes a revolutionary. Because they wont tolerate for themselves what they hand out to others. Which suggests most revolutionaries are simply despots looking for a career opening. Ask yourself, would Chairman Xi, Kim Jong Un or the elite in Brussels, tolerate having their property taken from them? Let alone organ harvested, publicly executed or jailed for a Facebook post? Simple reversal proves all forms of despotism… unbalanced, hypocritical and evil. If our intelligentsia used reversal, as a means to falsify their hypothesis, then we might not have to put up with so much absurdity coming out of academia. I believe most intellectuals are terrified of Karl Popper’s falsification. Therefore they shudder at the very mention of reversal. Because nothing is as discrediting as reversal. With the sole stumbling block being the Mpemba effect. In nature, balance is found everywhere. We use balance to weigh goods for sale. Balance keeps us on our feet. Reversal then is a means to get at balance… in logic, morality, science and philosophy. A hypothesis that can’t stand up to reversal clearly isn’t balanced. While a morality that can’t be reversed is hypocritical. Reversal is a vital tool left out of most intellectual toolboxes. Let’s add it. Sincerely, John Pepin
Progressive Crimes Posted on October 13, 2024 by john Dear Friends, It seems to me, progressives can get away with the most heinous crimes imaginable, and no one is ever outraged at them? It’s mind boggling. Over and over, the progressive faction is caught in a crime against humanity, and no one seems to care. Election fraud, rioting, arson, beatings, eugenics, using violence as a political weapon, notorious racism, lawfare, frame jobs, false flags, the list is endless. How is it they escape criticism for their crimes? No wonder the progressives are upping their game though. Being above criticism, let alone the law itself, why not? I think they get away with their crimes because they control the narrative, run the administrative state, and claim the moral high ground, from the sewer. These are the three legs the progressive edifice stands on. Kick any one out and they fall. Progressive crimes against humanity are legendary. The Fascists saw themselves as the European version of the American progressive party. Moreover, to sharpen the point, during the Nuremberg trials the Nazis charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity, claimed everything they did was legal in the US, based on Buck v Bell. Therefore all the crimes of the Nazis can be laid at the feet of the progressive faction. They are horrible, but the progressive party in the US, has a pretty heavy burden of crimes against humanity as well. Buck v Bell? That was a progressive usurpation of power over the individual to clean the human genome. Then there’s the famous Korematsu, where the Supreme Court gave the president the power to arbitrarily imprison any group of people he deems fit. A full accounting of the crimes against humanity committed by the progressive faction would be far too long to list. So suffice it to say, the crimes above, are the tip of the iceberg of progressive atrocities. Done in the name of ushering in utopia. Which is how they claim the moral high ground even as they commit inhumanity. Because their goal is so wonderful it justifies any atrocity. Do you think a Nazi death camp guard, a Young Turk, or other malignant psychopath thinks they’re the bad guy? Of course not! They think they’re the good guys. and the innocent women and children they’re raping, beating and murdering, are the bad guys. They firmly have the moral high ground in their own minds. Moreover, if those in charge of the narrative are of such a mind, that’s what the narrative will reflect. The progressive faction has had a monopolistic control of the narrative for a century. “Journalists” are all taught in the same schools, with the same ideology… progressivism. They’re steeped in the ideology of elitism. Believing that only the experts should have a say. The rest of us should sit down, shut up… and let the adults run the show. As long as they had a monopoly the narrative was theirs. With the introduction of social media and private journalism, their stranglehold on information weakened. That’s why censorship is so important. Without it they lose control of the narrative. That narrative is one leg of their oligarchy. Lose it and the thing falls over. The two legs of, running the bureaucracy and claiming the moral high ground, are insufficient to hold up their oligarchy in the face of transparency The progressive faction’s iron grip on the deep state isn’t due to merely owning the top, their ideology has oozed through the bureaucracy to the ground floor. In any bureaucracy of government it’s near impossible to find anyone who isn’t a progressive elitist. It’s handy, when engaging in crime, to own the police, prosecutors, judges… and press. The simple fact their crimes are unpunished allows the progressives to claim they are moral and just. Then amplify their claims of “morality” with their mockingbird media. While their three legged stool seems stable… it’s not. Kick out any of those legs and the thing collapses on its face. That’s why we should struggle against censorship, eliminate the deep state, as well as expose their crimes… and thus the malevolence of the progressive faction. Sincerely, John Pepin
The Heartless Posted on October 25, 2024 by john Dear Friends, It seems to me, what’s most shocking to me about progressives, is their total utter and complete lack of a heart. The heartless must gravitate to leftism. Who cheers another person’s downfall… except the heartless? Personally, I don’t want bad to happen to anyone, but I do want bad people out of power. Which isn’t wishing bad on another as much as wishing good on everyone else. Yet, leftists relish the thought of utterly destroying their political foes. They cheered at the thought of Major General Flynn spending his life in prison for a frame job. The fact he lost his home and retirement savings defending himself was a second place prize. Progressives have zero empathy. But like the narcissists, Machiavellians and psychopaths they are, they pretend to have it, to fit in and to manipulate. To have a heart one must have empathy. The ability to see from another’s perspective and understand their pain. Many have empathy for their own children, fewer have it for other people, and very few have empathy for a bug. Which makes me wonder if empathy is derived at least a little from identification. We identify with our kids, from us having been kids. Less so to other people, so we don’t identify with them as much, and have less empathy. Meanwhile, no one identifies with a bug, and so we have little or no empathy for them. If that’s the case, those without empathy then, must not identify with the rest of humanity. They probably feel as superior to us as we do an ant. So, without the ability to identify with others, leftists lack the ability to see from our perspective… so are heartless. Every news article today is an illustration of the progressive faction’s vindictiveness. The vitriol they heap upon Trump is literally deranged. Ask any leftist what they think of Trump and you’ll get a litany of evils. Not one of which can be backed up with an example. Other than the tried and true, “There are so many, I can’t name one!” Look at the faces of “unbiased” news reporters when they attack Trump. One thing the recent past has proven, law is your friend, if you break it to frame Trump. Trump isn’t their real enemy though. You and I are. He’s just in their way. Once they’ve dealt with him and anyone else foolish enough to stand up. They’ll be heartless with us. As the hypocrites who framed Roger Stone, Trump and Flynn, claim it would be vindictive to follow the law, and charge them. The left today stands proudly for censorship, election fraud and sterilizing minors. They claim the gutter they’ve dug is the moral high ground. Every one of which is the acme of heartless. The censor has no empathy for the censored. Else they wouldn’t be censors. Does the person committing vote fraud care about the feelings, wants and needs of the person they’re disenfranchising? Of course not, else they wouldn’t be committing election fraud. Then again, what could be more heartless than stealing the future from a child? These are the acts of people without empathy. They have no ability to see from another’s point of view. Who’s heart doesn’t rend at the thought of a child being abused so? A progressive without one. Moreover, because of that heartlessness, progressives have no ethics at all. It’s not that progressives have an ethics problem, as much as they don’t have ethics, no problem. The heartless don’t need morals, because, why have morals if you don’t have feelings for others? Morals are based on empathy… as is the Golden Rule. People without hearts then, like leftists, are capable of anything, no atrocity is out of the question. Because, what atrocity would you refrain from doing… to ants infesting your kitchen? The lack of empathy of a progressive towards humanity, is the same as that of a frustrated homeowner, dealing with grease ants. That’s why they openly call for censorship of wrongthink, relaxing the laws to make election fraud easier, and manipulating children into self harm. Leftists heartlessness, creates their moral deficit, which makes ethics to them, a tool… not a lifestyle. Sincerely, John Pepin
Having A Clean Kitchen Posted on October 28, 2024 by john Dear friends, It seems to me, if you want to have the reputation of having a clean kitchen, its probably best not to poop on your kitchen table. This logic applies to housewives, single men and governments. Elections for example. Encouraging election fraud is like allowing people to defecate in your kitchen. Because they’re in dire need. But, who may I ask… is willing to eat food from that kitchen? Or trust those elections? You don’t demand people trust that you cleaned it off well enough, to prevent infection, you keep it clean in the first place. Recounts are insufficient to clean up the mess. All they do is smear it all over the place. Then using the perfume of propaganda to cover the lingering stench. Finally, being a raw nerve to anyone who mentions it… won’t get people to think your kitchen is clean. It is possible, to completely clean a kitchen that has been soiled… but at great cost and labor. There are no shortcuts. Every appliance needs to be pulled and cleaned inside and out. The counters need to be washed and sanitized. Even as the walls must be washed down and perhaps even repainted. The floors, well, unless they’re stainless steel, they have to be replaced as do the tables. The same goes for an apartment that reeks of cigarettes and stale beer, as well as a soiled election process. Oh, there are people who won’t even notice the cloying odor of cigarettes and stale beer, but they’re few and far between. Some people live in filth and could care less if the walls are smeared with feces. Most folks though, see and smell such things, and are utterly repulsed. Having a clean kitchen is more than just effectively washing filth from it. It’s in keeping operations in their respective rooms. An open minded progressive might not be able to understand this concept. Fences between things. Their open mindedness allows them to see efficiencies where we might not. Why not rear chickens in the kitchen? It’s the most efficient way to do it. Hell, that’s where you cook and eat them! How much more efficient could it be? Cages, obviously, are a form of fence and so can’t be tolerated by the progressive. So the birds will roost on the counters. The turds can be flicked onto the floor in the morning. After breakfast. Using a kitchen as a coop then is probably not a great idea. Maybe it’s better to keep chickens in the coop, pooping in the bathroom… and cooking in the kitchen? You have to ask yourself, “Why is the administrative state so invested in encouraging election fraud?” Because encouraging fraud is just like encouraging people to poop in your kitchen. I’ve been in a kitchen that was decorated with dog poop in every stage of decomposition… from a glistening pile to a white powder. That was a kitchen I couldn’t stand to be in, let alone, eat a meal from the table. Yet, that kitchen was cleaner than an election, where the enforcing powers encourage fraud. Because what do you call… suing states for taking avowed aliens off the election rolls, fighting voter ID laws, demanding mail in voting without signature match, allowing vote harvesting and denying the aggrieved their day in court due to “standing?” Now… that is a well soiled kitchen! The thing about being a good cook is, it really doesn’t matter how good your food is, if your kitchen is filthy. Your bechamel may be the best ever made, but if the counters have chicken poop on them, no one will want to eat it. A single guy might want to take this into consideration before having a girl over. Cigarettes and stale beer may not smell bad to you but it reeks to everyone else. Even as the bureaucrats encouraging election fraud, might want to consider how their kitchen appears, to those expected to eat the results. Yup, it’s better to keep your kitchen clean, than to constantly re-clean it, or simply pretend it’s clean. Those you’re cooking for will notice it and may refuse to eat the dishes you serve up. Be you a housewife, single man, or government. Sincerely, John Pepin
