“To keep any great nation up to a high standard of civilization there must be enough superior characters to hold the balance of power, but the very moment the balance of power gets into the hands of second-rate men and women, a decline of that nation is inevitable.” – Christian D. Larson
“The Barbarian… will consume what civilization has slowly produced after generations of selection and effort, but he will not be at pains to replace such goods, nor indeed has he a comprehension of the virtue that has brought them into being. Discipline seems to him irrational, on which account he is ever marveling that civilization, should have offended him with priests and soldiers…. In a word, the Barbarian is discoverable everywhere in this, that he cannot make: that he can befog and destroy but that he cannot sustain; and of every Barbarian in the decline or peril of every civilization exactly that has been true…” – Hilaire Belloc
INTRODUCTION
If I have done my job, you will agree with me that we now assume that if America is to live, the donkey must be detained.
But how does one detain an enemy that is so integral, so enmeshed with us? And furthermore, does the Trump administration recognize the DNC as being an insurrectionist party representing America’s enemy, Progmerica?
In this final part of our report, this writer will enter into the suit of Donald Trump, assuming I had his powers to deal with what I view as an existential threat to Americanism, one that has significant support from the nation within our own, PROGMERICA.
This will be the promise part of my report, where I offer to you what I believe would be the most effective action President Trump could take to preserve the republic, restore what was lost, and fulfill what hasn’t been fulfilled, all while bringing to account the insurrectionists within that almost toppled our republic.
The second part will be the Predictive Analysis, where I step out of the Trump suit and apply my method of analysis to predict what might happen between now and 2028.
A. THE REALITY OF POWER
The Democratic Party and its collusionists are working everyday to establish an anti-American rule of law over any lands they currently govern. From NYC to LA, Progmerican Mayors are attempting reform the landscape from an American one to a Progmerican one.
Every day, the Democratic Party’s own leadership commits overt acts of treason that continue to remain unprosecuted. Rather than backing off, this de facto foreign power is only ratcheting up the violent rhetoric and tyranny against Americans wherever it rules our lands.
So long as they remain free to openly call on troops to disobey orders already ruled to be constitutional by the Supreme Court, the Democrats will only become more vicious, more determined to destroy their competing nation, America. Once we are finished, their ungodly child-sacrificing nation, Progmerica, can finally become openly fully formed.
It is for this reason that this writer suggests the government use the full extent of its constitutional and presumed constitutional powers to move decisively against the Progmerican nation from within. But before we consider what can be done, an inventory of the reality of power is in order.
- THE PRESIDENT’S POWERS – Strictly speaking, the President of the United States does NOT have explicit emergency constitutional powers. While SCOTUS has given tacit approval to the notion of emergency powers, it has never ruled definitively on the constitutionality of emergency powers themselves.
Abraham Lincoln used this clause in the constitution to justify his declaration of Habeas Corpus at the start of the Civil War in 1861:
Article I, Section 9, Clause 2
“The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.”
As this clause comes within a section describing constitutional powers, a case can be made that this is a power congress possesses, not the President. Two cases, one in 1863 (The Prize Cases) and the other in 1866 (Ex parte Milligan) neither explicitly affirmed nor denied the President’s power to suspend Habeas Corpus based on that clause alone.
The Prize Case upheld President Lincoln’s order to blockade Southern ports BEFORE congress acted to declare war at the beginning of “hostilities.” This ruling did not give the President the power to declare war, rather, it gave him power to act in response to hostile actions from foreign or civil powers.
The ruling gives the President military powers during a time of rebellion, but it never addressed the issue of suspending Habeas Corpus.
Ex parte Milligan struck down a part of Lincoln’s suspension of Habeas Corpus, but only where it circumvented the authority of open civic courts.
While the President can declare a rebellion, theoretically, SCOTUS would STILL have to decide once and for all if he did indeed have that power. The legal hurdle to challenge a congressional declaration of rebellion, however, is far more difficult to overcome than a challenge to Presidential authority to do so.
The reality is congress would be the far more effective declarer of rebellion and suspender of habeas corpus than the President would. Given the slim majority in congress by a party that seems to not understand the nature of the enemy within, that route appears to be effectively dead for now.
- DECLARING A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION – Could President Donald Trump today declare the DNC, the Democratic National Committee (corporation) a terrorist organization? The short answer is yes, but the long answer is probably not.
This is because the protections for political parties as free speech expressions do not provide exceptions based on the party’s platform alone.
This fact alone may be considered by future historians to be the fatal flaw of our constitution, that it has no rock-solid mechanism to screen itself from its homegrown insurrectionists.
Creating such a mechanism that couldn’t be abused by those same insurrectionists may be an insurmountable hurdle, but this writer believes one could be created that would still provide more protections for sustainable constitutional governance than having the minimum we have so far (especially if we look at the rise of the anti-American nation within us, the Progressive nation, starting at the turn of the 20th century).
Our only filter is having elected officials, our law enforcers, our military personnel, swear to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.
However, we are not without hope even though the President declaring the DNC to be a terrorist organization is a BIG ASK in current year. There IS a more realistic route, but it ostensibly relies on an “independent” DOJ making the same conclusion as the President, organically.
The DOJ can open an investigation into possible treason and collusion with foreign enemies by the Democratic Party (it should have done so already).
This IS plausible and CAN lead to the President THEN being able to declare it a terrorist organization (and act accordingly, including arresting its members, even if they are elected members of government).
Declaring corporate media a terrorist organization would also run into the same problems, but again, the DOJ has every right to investigate corporate media for potential acts of treason and collusion with foreign enemies this writer is sure this entity has been committing for decades now.
In addition to treason and collusion, the easier charges of illegal political advertising have been BEGGING to be made for decades now.
Again, the DOJ solution relies on people in power independently understanding the nature of the enemy, the Democratic Party AND being willing (and free) to do something about it. This writer is not convinced Trump has such a DOJ at present. I also suspect it’s more for the latter rather than the former reason given.
As President, I would continue my efforts to filter out the Progressives and invite more Americans into the halls of DOJ power, but those are “solutions” that can easily be reversed after I leave.
- REALITY OF POWER CONCLUSION – The power of the President to unilaterally shut down all Democratic Party operations (including those of its collusionists like the corporate media) is iffy at best. Congress, however, has far more power to act against the DNC decisively than the President does, but a divided GOP prevents that from happening.
The liability risks of congressmembers who indulged in the Biden Committee Presidency are unknown to this writer, but in that dross there could be tools of manipulation to “win” enough votes to get congress to declare “rebellion.” This writer isn’t counting on this being possible, though I acknowledge it is not implausible.
The Department of Justice, however, is where the bulk of that power seems to lie, and I have already documented the problem with that.
B. THE PROMISE
In this scenario, I imagine I have been transported into the body of Donald J Trump with my full agentic self, but yet capable of convincing others that I am, in fact, Donald Trump. This is to put myself within what I assume is Donald Trump’s reality of power, meaning I inherit his political power, both for ill and for good, according to how it serves to vanquish Progmerica.
As the President, Trump has the capability to declare an insurrection. He can initiate emergency powers, but he cannot be sure those powers will be upheld by SCOTUS. Still, even if SCOTUS were to rule against him, much work could be done in that time period that COULD render a SCOTUS ruling moot.
If, for instance, after he declared Habeas Corpus, his agents were quickly able to produce irrefutable evidence that there is, in fact, an insurrection occurring by the Democratic Party and its corporate and social allies, SCOTUS would be rendered moot at this point.
This path would rely on Trump’s loyal intelligence team having access to information they at least know will lead to this irrefutable evidence.
If I had that confidence, I would declare a rebellion, an insurrection, and immediately empower my agents to acquire the evidence, wherever they must go, that will demonstrate to the American people, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the DNC is, in fact, attempting to overthrow the republic and replace it with a socialist-capitalist oligarchy no longer encumbered by American liberties such as the right to bear arms and free speech.
With each exposure, I would nationalize assets and schedule auctions open only to Americans who pledge to abide by American standards when running these assets. The first to fall should be the media outlets. Imagine Americans running Disney and CNN.
IMMEDIATELY upon seizing a DNC media asset (such as Disney), the government would run a public service campaign showing Americans what abortions are and what the consequence of abortions are, both to the murdered child and the mother.
It would be important NOT to over-exaggerate, NOT to use propaganda yourself. The plain facts will be more than enough to fundamentally change hearts or give them no excuse for the evil they have chosen.
It would also be important to include equal time to the pro-abortionists. This writer is confident no defense of abortion will be justified in contrast to the very real consequences of abortion on the unborn, the Mother, and those attached to the act itself.
The normalization of murdering the unborn would end. Protecting the public from the horrors of abortion will end. Americans MUST be confronted with the child sacrificing choices they have made. They MUST repent.
I believe within a few short months support for abortion will plummet, and more and more states will rightly prohibit the continued sacrificing of children for hedonistic, materialistic, sexist, and genetic supremacist reasons. From casual sex freedom to Downes Syndrome genocide, abortion is primarily used to perpetuate sin.
The fruit of unrighteousness in a land can be seen in ours; we sacrifice children, we use the plea of the needy to manipulate the masses to support their own oppression by the scoundrels who sold them the lie, we are led by infants and foreigners, and we openly curse the very name of God.
These are the lessons we learn from the prophets, from Abraham to John the Apostle.
If I lacked confidence in my loyal intelligence team, then I would assume my power to fully vanquish the Progmerican nation is not within my reach. My strategy would move from singular destruction of the Progmerican nation to continued diminishment of that nation while I shore up and even create power that supports Americanism.
Unlike Trump, I would put tremendous effort to pass a constitutional conceal carry law along with a gun ownership bill of rights law that would negate all state laws that go beyond those rights. This bill of rights law would not deliver absolute gun freedom to Americans, as no such law would ever pass our current congress, or the next congresses to come.
What it would do is set boundaries on gun licensing requirements and gun bans without fully eliminating state and local power altogether (for pragmatic reasons, no idealist ones).
If the door to confiscate our guns is shut, the Democrats will feel far more fear of the citizen than they do today. The government fearing its citizens is a true American tradition. Putting the DNC into this reality of power will encourage more Democrats from within to suddenly find reasons to pull back from their authoritarian extremist positions.
Pam Bondi is the bottleneck for other action I would like to take. For instance, I believe the heart of current DNC power is the media, the newsmakers and the movie makers both. If you take that power away, the DNC’s hold on current America diminishes by more than 75%, I believe.
Pam Bondi has more than enough obvious evidence that the media outlets are openly spreading intentional lies they know will inspire violence against Americans for the crime of being American, yet she continues to refuse to even investigate them for illegal political advertising.
If I fire her, getting a new AG willing to AT LEAST INVESTIGATE the media could be beyond my political capital, especially as I squandered a good chunk of it shaming my base when they demanded I release the Epstein files (not to mention the political capital I may have also squandered by signing the CR bill that included a hemp ban, see pg. xx for that report, First they came for the Potheads… ).
My ability to destroy the DNC’s information terrorist machine, their corporate media producers, is not within my capacity, so I must strengthen alternative media to the point where they too have a corporate media presence that captures at least half the country.
Based on the facts on the ground, I would seek to encourage Americanists of means to buy interest in these corporate outlets. Where sales are being made, I would do whatever I can as President to encourage Americanists to buy those properties. If we can’t prosecute them, maybe we can buy them out.
The long-term stronghold of the DNC is education. Here, with more information, I am sure I can find flaws in how Trump is attempting to eliminate DNC power in education, but mostly I agree with how he’s used his power to at least make it more difficult for the Progmericans to indoctrinate our children with a systemic hatred of Americanism, Christ, and, for some reason, white people.
The caveat here is his dismantling of the Department of Education, so far, appears to be producing harmful outcomes for students seeking loans for such critical occupations as Nurse Practitioner.
The fact that GOP leadership in both the House and Senate are Progmerican-lites means Trump’s ability to use legislation to codify his XOs striking down anti-Americanist ideologies being taught as fact in public school (DEI, Wokeness, Leftism in general, etc.) is minimal. He will need to reverse the trend heading into the 2026 election that, as of right now, puts the House majority in doubt.
This means my ability as Trump to significantly harm the DNC’s hold on education is limited and likely to continue to be a source of long-term power for the DNC for the foreseeable future.
Within the bounds of constitutional authority, I would implement a Federal citizenship program that educates children on Americanism, especially the Constitution and the principles it was founded upon. If I could make it mandatory, I would, though I doubt I could.
Getting this program into Republican-dominated areas is not nearly as important as getting it in DNC-dominated areas, especially the cities.
Declaring the DNC a terrorist organization is, constitutionally speaking, probably not supported. If I thought, again, declaring the DNC a terrorist organization would give my agents enough emergency power time to find the evidence that will prove they are, in fact, a terrorist organization, I would make the move anyway.
I have the same limitations on my confidence here as I do in declaring a rebellion and/or an insurrection; it would depend on having a loyal intelligence team confident they can get the evidence needed in a very short period of time.
Lacking that confidence, I would simply start referring to them as unconstitutionally driven whenever I spoke of them. For instance, I would say “the unconstitutionally driven Democrats have once again come out against American liberty, this time in the name of vanquishing the white devil, as it always is.”
Beyond that, relying on congress to declare the DNC a terrorist organization is untenable, though I would certainly make efforts to make that happen.
If other Republicans follow my lead, and influencers do likewise, accusing a current political party of treason and sedition will be normalized.
From that, pressure on the slim majority to deliver a DNC terrorist designation will grow to the point when even the Prog-lites will go along with it if only to preserve their graft-treasuring jobs.
The critical need here is for a reliable intelligence team that has the earned confidence it can move quickly with emergency powers to secure the irrefutable proof needed to convince 70 plus percent of Americans that the Donkey MUST be detained, by government force.
If he lacks that team, or that team lacks that confidence, then all Trump can do is contain and diminish DNC power while he builds up Americanist power, leaving the next battle for the midterm election.
PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS
When Donald Trump first rose to power he was often compared to Cyrus the Great, the Zoroastrian Persian King who paid to have the temple in Jerusalem rebuilt and allowed the exiled Israelites to return to their homes. Trump was viewed as a non-believer who was yet used by God to do his work, to restore a Christian nation.
I thought it was a fair comparison, though a little flawed from the start. Trump was no outsider sending an emissary to rebuild God’s foundation, he was an insider promising to restore American greatness. Trump also proclaims to be a Christian, even if he also claims he can never get to heaven.
A fairer comparison of Trump, though one slightly flawed as well, is with the Judean King Josiah. He was a reformer who came in right after decades of unrighteous rule by his later repentant grandfather Manasseh. Under Josiah’s rule, they REDISCOVERED the book of the law which was presumably lost under Manasseh (who upended the temple from without and within using profane images to do so).
Josiah (2 Kings Chapters 22-23) proclaimed dramatic reforms. He FINALLY tore down “the high places” and performed the Passover. He enacted sweeping reforms that restored the temple assignments of the Levites. He even fulfilled a prophecy earlier told to the then King of Israel, Jeroboam of Nebat, regarding the altar at Bethel he set up at the start of the then new Kingdom of Israel (1 Kings 13).
God testifies to the righteousness of Josiah in 2 Kings:
“Before him there was no king like him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses, nor did any like him arise after him.” – 2 Kings 23:25
Yet after Josiah gets this vote of approval from God, he would soon after challenge Pharoah Nico to a fight God did not ordain. Scripture itself informs us, “Nevertheless, Josiah did not turn away from him but disguised himself in order to fight with him. He did not listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God but came to fight in the plain of Megiddo.” – 2 Chronicles 35:22
Josiah is a righteous man who has a destiny in the New Heaven and the New Earth, but in an unrighteous impulse led by the desire to MAKE ISRAEL GREAT rather than righteous, he ended up leaving his empire to his sons, who would all prove unworthy of his righteous standards, let alone the righteous standards of God.
His sons would be blinded, slaughtered, or end their lives in exile after Jerusalem was lost to Babylon shortly after his death.
Trump is a man who sees himself as the second father of a GREAT America, which, to him, is a rich America more than it is a free one. To him, wealth IS the fundamental creator and fruit of freedom.
Unlike Josiah, who struggled with pursuing “greatness” over righteousness, Trump fully embraces greatness and has only a nominal understanding of American righteousness, never mind Christian “righteousness.”
He is more likely to immolate himself on the fiery shores of a misguided battle than he is to remain steadily on course pursuing a more patient (by the necessity of the reality of power) counter-revolution.
His call for America’s restoration of its values is hardly as deep as Josiah’s was. The high places are not removed. He continues, for instance, to treat China as a manageable “partner” in trade. He continues to support a digital currency. He supports known “RINOS’ for re-election.
He doesn’t check the freedom index daily; he checks the stock market and the jobs reports.
I suspect he is also a compromised man, a man with ties to Jeffrey Epstein that will reveal, at least, he knew of Epstein’s predation on teens, even if he only later learned of the much younger ages of his victims (which would have then triggered his turning on Epstein).
As a Josiah comparison goes, Trump hardly matches the breadth and depth of Josiah’s structural reforms even though he has truly fundamentally altered the geopolitical game (just not in clearly Americanist ways).
It goes without saying that Trump’s outward character represents a man who does not fear God, even when he rules 300 plus million humans. Yet God has moved through even “lower” men than Trump to do even greater things than Josiah did. The Apostle Paul was a murderer of Christians who became the most important Apostle second only to Peter.
For this writer, the true barometer of what to expect next will come from how the land confronts or continues to support the murder of unborn children.
Should the current trend continue towards abortions up to birth funded by taxpayers, expect a further breakdown of American civic standards in public spaces.
This will affect our quality of life across the board as more and more people find it increasingly difficult to buy things in public space from other human beings, in the presence of even more human beings, without frictions emerging. This will also affect our co-worker space, which will affect the quality and integrity of the products and services we produce.
The Americanists and Progmericans will continue to migrate to spaces they presume friendly to their people not just geographically but economically as well. When you see companies advertising themselves as Progressive while others brand themselves as some form of “Americanist” (Constitutional values might be one term), you will know the real bifurcating of two nations is accelerating.
Amongst the Americanists and Progmericans, expect infighting over who gets to be the primary standard bearer of the overall group. This will certainly hurt the Americanists as they go through the process of filtering out from within “conservatives” who aren’t really Americanists at all (especially the ACTUAL far right that still runs with the Americanists, for the most part).
At this stage, if there are more significant factions that could create a multi-polar political reality this is when that will happen. If none of the fringes have enough support to sustain hegemony over the whole, then they may break off into less effective parties but the bi-polar political reality of power will continue in these lands. There will still be only TWO real nations in this land, Progmerica and America.
The timeframe for all of this happening is months, not years. While this writer still believes there will be an election in 2026, there is a very real chance there won’t be one. If there isn’t one, it will be either because we have already balkanized (hopefully only into two major factions) or the indisputable evidence of the rebellion has managed to come out to the public, triggering a supported suspension of Habeas Corpus to detain the main leaders of that rebellion, the leaders of the DNC.
If the 2026 elections do take place, as I still support that they will, there are “opportunities” for both sides. If Trump gets a stronger House and Senate majority, then some of his XOs can be converted to laws, making them less vulnerable to the next Presidency should it be a member of the Progmerican party.
Should he face a majority DNC House, expect impeachments, subpoenas, investigations against Trump, republicans, and private citizen anti-progressive activists, all designed to slow down the Trump machine from continuing its efforts to diminish DNC power in America.
This might make the 2026 election the first potential LAST BATTLE FOR AMERICA or the beginning of the END FOR PROGMERICA.
