An Open Letter to Louisiana Legislators

12/25/2020

I am outraged that you supported and voted for the latest stimulus bill before Congress. It constitutes theft on a grand scale. Given the fact that all of the money is fiat, you have indebted future generations before they are even conceived. It is a convenient way for members of the Senate and the House to pay their debt to lobbyists and to their corporate donors, not out of their own pockets but out of the very future of those Americans as yet unborn.

This stimulus package, along with its antecedents, constitutes the greatest wealth transfer in history: from Main Street to Wall Street, the greatest ponzi scheme in history; from the struggling middle class to the oligarchs who are already billionaires; and from the American people to aliens at home and abroad.

It engenders a corruption which seeps into our souls and corrupts individuals, institutions and every level of government.

I, quite frankly, do not believe that you lack discernment: you know very well what I have laid out supra. You and your colleagues in the Senate and in the House do, however, lack integrity. It is quite obvious that your allegiance is not to the people of Louisiana but to the lobbyists, your corporate donors and to the Republican Party of Mitt Romney, John McCain and the Rockefellers.

For thinking Americans, and there are millions of us, this stimulus package and its antecedents, coming in the context of a fraudulent election, have swept away all of the pretenses: America is not a republic; America is not a democracy; America is not a we-the-people entity; America is not an exceptional nation; America is not an indispensable nation; America is not a “city on a hill;” America is not a nation of law; in America, legal votes do not count and illegal votes do.

I will not be voting for you or your colleagues in any future election, assuming that there will be future elections. You, of course, will likely not take this letter seriously, even if you see it. It is a mere gnat buzzing in the ear of a braying jackass.

Pray for you I will. My prayer is that you will repent of the evil which you have done to generations of Americans, but particularly to those of Louisiana who are your only moral and legal constituency.

Robert Peters was born in the town of Natchitoches, Louisiana, the oldest settlement in the Louisiana Purchase Territory. He was, however, reared in the Republic of Pollock situated in the eastern march of Grant Parish, carved out of Winn Parish and Rapides Parish for the purposes of looting by carpetbaggers, a fact betrayed by the name.
After earning a Ph.D. in German from the University of Southern California, Mr. Peters sojourned in strange lands – Austria, Germany, France, Texas, Alabama and Arkansas – before returning to his beloved Louisiana where he now lives with his wife of forty-eight years, Miss Alice, and his three dogs – Lucky, Chester and Miss Lucy Lee – on a small farm in the settlement of Fairview. He has two children and three grand children.
He enjoys hunting, fishing and hiking; but his passions are reading and writing. He has entered his fifty-first year of teaching, a career which began with teaching German as a Kindergarten instructor in 1968. He is currently the Headmaster of a small private school, Riverdale Academy, located in the tiny village of East Point on the banks of the Red River.
