February 12, 2025 - In the wake of President Donald J. Trump’s return to the White House there has been an atmosphere of palpable panic among the usual suspects. Establishment bureaucrats are
screaming bloody murder in aisles like spoiled toddlers at WalMart after being told they’re not going to get whatever they want from the Amerikan taxpayer. These people are long overdue for a spanking and a nap.
Elon Musk’s DOGE group has wasted no time in pursuing total transparency of the federal government’s funding operations and I have to say, the reaction from the Leftist establishment is
even more unhinged than I could have imagined. In the past week, Democrats and activist judges have actually attempted to stop the new head of the Treasury Department, Scott Bessent, from accessing funding allocation records. In other words, the person in charge of the Treasury is not allowed to investigate how the Treasury is spending Amerikan tax dollars.
The temporary freeze on access is in response to lawsuits from 19 Democrat controlled states that are seeking to slow down DOGE efforts. Democrats have recently labeled the DOGE mission an
“authoritarian rampage” through the federal government.
What I want people o do is consider for a moment how truly insane this is. The Trump regime, duly advanced to the Oval Office by the electoral college and the majority of Amerikan voters, ran on a campaign platform of government transparency and efficiency. The public put Trump in office because they WANT an accounting of government activities and overreach. Democrats have said “no”, the public isn’t allowed to get the reform for which they voted. Democracy indeed.
In my view these judicial orders should be ignored; they serve no purpose other than to protect corruption. What DOGE is pursuing is essentially an audit of federal operations, something that is supposed to be a normal occurrence. It has not been done properly in generations, and now we know why.
Democrats claim that to undertake such an audit (an audit that the Amerikan populace wants) is “authoritarian”. As I’ve noted over the years, the political Left and the globalists often
brandish words like “democracy” as a weapon against their opponents, but they have never and will never actually respect the will of the people or even the will of the majority they claim to worship.
The bottom line is, they despise you. They see you as a sacrificial beast of burden, a useful tool for achieving their Utopian aspirations. If they find that you aren’t beneficial to
their new world vision then you’re treated as an enemy to be disposed of or suppressed.
They are Fabian Socialists; elitists with delusions of grandeur. They believe themselves to be leaders by birthright - philosopher kings genetically predisposed to manage civilization. The rest of us are mere peons who are too ignorant to understand why total centralization and total secrecy are “essential” for society to progress. Every terrible thing they do is for our benefit. Our slavery is for our benefit. At least, that’s the underlying message the Leftists promote.
It sounds insane when you break down the issue into its uglier parts. The claim that the Trump regime, backed by the Amerikan public, is participating in an “act of tyranny” because (it is)
auditing the government is mind boggling. How many Amerikans every year are terrorized by audits executed by the government? (Meanwhile,) the feds can’t handle one audit of their own without screaming “fascism”? If you think about the stakes involved, the frothing desperation of establishment officials makes a lot more sense.
The audit of USAID has so far uncovered billions in mismanaged dollars, billions (of dollars) in payoffs for various corporate media entities, billions (of dollars) to NGOs working against
Amerikan interests at home and abroad, billions (of dollars) in woke propaganda programs, and billions in lost tax dollars spent on items that make little to no sense (unless you consider the possibility that the cash is being secretly funneled to covert projects).
DOGE is beginning to delve into FEMA, Social Security, Medicaid and the Department of Defense. The level of corruption that (DOGE) will uncover in each of these institutions will easily dwarf everything (it) found in USAID. Just wait until (it tries) to audit the Federal Reserve and watch the chaos unfold.
These revelations are not really all that shocking to those of us in the Liberty Movement and alternative economics. We’ve been warning about this for many years. However, (this does) expose a fundamental disconnect in how our culture views and interacts with government. We are suffering from a mass Stockholm Syndrome that needs to be addressed.
Over the past century in particular, Amerikans have forgotten that our forefathers fought and died to free our nation from feudalism and the mentality that the common man is beholden to the whims of an elitist oligarchy. Rather, the Founders flipped this ancient system of control on its head and asserted that by the hand of God and Natural Law, the individual is endowed with unalienable rights - that the government should be a servant to the people rather than the people being servants to government.
This way of thinking about the structure of human society is new and rare in the annals of history. Tyranny has been the norm for thousands of years. Freedom was a privilege of the
wealthy; transparency and accountability for the ruling class were almost unheard of anywhere.
The ultimate goal of the Leftist/globalist apparatus is to drag the Western world back into the dark ages of feudal control, all while regaling us with futurist fantasies of “progress”. Freedom (with responsibility and wisdom) is progress. Globalism is the opposite of freedom and the opposite of progress.
When the political Left sees an audit of the apparatus (it has) spent a century constructing, what (it sees) is the end of (its) totalitarian dreams. Why? Because evil cannot survive in
sunlight, evil requires the protection of the dark. An authoritarian system or technocracy cannot survive if it faces constant scrutiny from the population it means to dominate.
The elites must be able to steal from the public at will. They must be able to redistribute that wealth to whatever mechanisms they wish without oversight. They must be able to use our labor and our money against us. Remember, these people are a tiny minority; they have no power without the ability to corrupt the structures on which society relies.
If the government and the bureaucrats within it come under surveillance, their power disappears. This is what DOGE is doing - it is putting a CCTV camera in the face of the
functionaries and making them behave. Lack of oversight has created a cancer upon our nation. This network of extra-governmental institutions (like USAID) and NGOs is where the real power in Amerika rests. The (members of the) public can vote however they want but nothing changes because the apparatus and (its) influence remains regardless of who is elected.
At what point did it become acceptable for the feds to spy on the people while never facing any judgment themselves? At what point did it become an act of treason to check the hard drives and bank accounts of the regime and make sure they aren’t up to something nefarious?
It is time for this archaic form of governance to end. It is time to do away with feudal tyranny and move on to a better future where total transparency of government is the norm. It should not be considered a revolutionary act to audit the system, it should be expected. The actions of DOGE should be permanently engraved as a standard of Western civilization.
If humanity ever hopes to move on to something better; to defeat poverty, to diminish criminality, to live morally, to master our personal weaknesses, to pursue merit, to grow as a
species and increase our understanding of the universe around us, we must first be honest about who we are and where we can improve. This effort begins in only one way: by forcing the political elites to learn humility. Today, (We) the People DO NOT have the government (we) deserve and the fish rots from the head down.
If governments can be humbled, then maybe we as a species have a chance to survive and rise to greater aspirations. If not, then we will remain trapped, hosts to a parasitic organism that uses
our own blood and sweat to destroy us. We will struggle daily to fulfill the narcissistic dreams of entitled and power-hungry psychopaths who think they own us. We will never know peace.
