“In a society governed passively by free markets and free elections, organized greed always defeats disorganized democracy.” – Matt Taibbi, from Griftopia: Bubble Machines, Vampire Squids, and the Long Con That Is Breaking America

INTRODUCTION

Since its birth, America has allowed some form of mail-in ballots, a fact proponents of today’s mass mailer elections often cite. But it wasn’t until the year 2000 that mail-in ballots were beginning to be considered as the go-to form of voting, not the voting of last resort.

Mail-in ballots are for those who could not realistically vote in person on the day of the election, now they’ve become the majority way people vote wherever they are allowed carte blanche access to the mail-in ballot

In California’s Los Angeles, a race for Mayor was decided by an overwhelming majority of mass mailer votes, with most of the total ballots coming from the ballot boxes.

The system necessitates the creation of expensive tabulation and validation machines all housed in one massive warehouse where hundreds of workers go through the process of validating and tabulating ballots. The larger the scale of the voting, the more massive the machine, and the more opportunities for fraud that will arise.

The system allows for easy ballot harvesting since the voter is not in a secure voting booth. They might be homeless on the street and get accosted and forced to sign their signature to a blank ballot, one that can be used later according to what’s needed.

The mayor’s election has turned into a flashpoint for the whole mass mailer “debate,” and progressives don’t realize that, among Americans, they’ve already lost the argument.

No matter what technological claim they can muster to assure us a massive mail voting system is more secure than voting in person on paper ballots using U.S. citizen affirming voter ID (as opposed to signature recognition software), basic common sense clearly refutes it.

Yet, they need this mass mailer voting machine, for without it their candidates would fail. Yet that desperate need for non-transparent elections is what will force them to double down on their mass mailer voter machine even as more and more people grow to understand just how harmful it is to a free people.

How this election played out, how it was covered, and what has unfolded since, is a true bellwether for the political spirit of this land. Progressives are doubling down on their claims, hiding behind technological jargon and “experts,” but plain facts even the non-engaged can see are increasingly countering them, as we see happening here.

A. ELECTION DAY

On election day, at 8:00pm local time, June 2nd, 2026, the election results for Los Angeles Mayors race came in. These numbers represented same-day voting, early voting, and mail-in ballots already received. Over 400 ballot boxes throughout the city automatically locked, preparing for ballot collection by two-person teams.

The ballots to be counted were overwhelmingly in two categories, ballots sitting in drop boxes throughout the city and mailed-in ballots that would be given the next 7 days after the day of the election to come in.

Mail-in ballots, overall, account for more than 80% of the vote.

At 8:00pm, the incumbent, Progressive Karen Bass, secured the top spot with 34.3% of the vote while the Republican, Spencer Pratt, scored 30%. In third place was Progressive Nithya Raman at 23%. That night, Raman gave a baleful concession speech where she lamented her part in letting her supporters down.

Spencer Pratt gave a victory speech, and the political activists prepared for the battle in the general election. But that battle would never happen, and it would become clear it wouldn’t the very next day, when the numbers began to change.

B. THE SURGE

The final vote tally would see Spencer Pratt drop out of the top two, leaving Los Angeles with a choice between a far-left anti-American progressive activist and a far-left anti-American progressive activist, just what the Democratic Party, the de facto Progressive State, wanted.

Raman went from getting 23% of the early votes the early mail-in ballot counts, and the in-person votes to almost 40% from among the remaining mail-in ballots. This surge moved her ahead of Spencer Pratt, finishing at 28% to Pratt’s 23%. His support in the late ballots dropped from 30% to under 13%.

The district is 18% Republican, 23% Independent, and 51% Democrat, but somehow 70% of the remaining ballots voted for two far-left progressive candidates.

  1. THE PROBABILITY – Mathematically, any AI will tell you that the statistical probability of a surge like this happening is just about nil, zero, nada, zilch, virtually impossible. It’s not unlikely, it’s statistically irrelevant as a chance happening. It is something close to randomly picking the exact same grain of sand in all the earth 100 times in a row.
  2. THE DEFENSE – The bellwether defense is the claim that the further left you go in the spectrum, the longer you wait to vote. You almost never vote in person and you almost always wait to vote until the end. The reason for the surge might be mathematically impossible, but because of “the blue shift” you can always expect the furthest left candidate to have a “late surge.”

This isn’t the first time a far-left candidate managed to take out a moderate or conservative second-place candidate in a late surge, and that pattern is counted as evidence that the system works as intended.

The pattern of leftists winning during after-election vote counting is evidence that leftists are not using fraud to win elections through vote counting.

C. THE PROCESS

Los Angeles residents can vote one of four ways, early in-person voting, same-day in-person voting, mail in your ballot through the postal service, or drop your ballot off at a ballot box. Some of them might “choose” multiple options.

Nearly 82% of the residents who vote do so through the mail-in ballot. Of those, 68% were dropped off in the ballot boxes. This means more than 55% of the votes tabulated were retrieved from those ballot boxes.

On the night of the election, at 8pm local time, the ballot boxes lock. Two-person teams of election workers go out to retrieve the ballots. The exact number of teams was not given. They are employees of the county, which is overwhelmingly controlled by the progressives.

There are 400 ballot boxes for the teams to fetch ballots from.

Meanwhile the ballots aren’t done coming in, for the mailed in ballots are given 7 days after the election to arrive, if they have a postmark on or before election day on it.

There are lots of protocols to “assure” no fraud can take place, such as having two-person teams to “assure” no one can put in fake ballots. There are assurances for ballot reliance, which include signature recognition software that “exactly matches” the registered voter to confirm it belongs to them. No such exacting software exists, by the way.

All of the assurances rely on faith the technology does what they say it does, that there are no “clever ways” to easily circumvent their safeguards (because how could we know since we don’t understand the technology), and that somehow the mere creation of multiple points for fraud isn’t reason enough to abandon this mass mailer election machine.

D. THE FOLLOW-UP

As Republicans began to question the validity of the “Blue Shift” defense, the Progressive State content marketers spread the narrative that only ignorant and racist people would doubt the blue shift miracles that keep happening specifically in California, especially in Los Angeles County.

The GOP hope for California Governor, Steve Hilton, looked to be heading towards a similar fate to Pratt before it was suddenly announced he was the second-place winner. His win is offered as proof the system is just fine, but some suspect, as do I, this was done to stop the growing scrutiny on their whole allegedly corrupt system.

Johnny Law is on their trail, however, and that was first seen by First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli, who has accused California of preventing his office from conducting a federal audit on their voter rolls. He accused the county of hiding dead and non-citizen voter registrations from the federal inquiry.

Essayli appears intent on expanding his investigation to the mass mailer election machine itself, the heart of progressive power.

An article in NBC News on this action reveals the content marketing, agit prop nature of this political activist machine. They write, “‘We will follow the evidence wherever it leads and prosecute any violations of federal election law to the fullest extent,’ said Essayli, who criticized California’s mail voting — a frequent target of Trump’s false claims of election fraud.”

Evidence of ballot harvesting has already been found from the testimonies of homeless people who claim they were paid to vote for one of the progressive candidates. One woman claimed she cast 4 or 5 ballots for payment in one day.

One citizen found a public display in a West LA Library encouraging illegal aliens to vote. The citizen wrote on X, “Riddle me this LA: If it’s illegal for non-citizens to vote, why the Hell does the West LA Library have a display for non-citizens that includes a VOTER REGISTRATION specifically for non-citizens that allows them to ‘preregister’ to vote.

“They even have a special section on the registration that allows you to vote ANONYMOUSLY if you don’t feel “safe” putting your address. Gee what could possibly go wrong?! Seems it’s be pretty easy to send in that form and get a ballot even if you legally can’t vote in California and no one would ever know if you do it anonymously and the worst part is…

“LA has apparently made this “legal” despite it being against federal law. Found at: West Los Angeles Public Library 11360 Santa Monica Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90025”

OAN claims whistleblowers from inside the California ballot processing facility are accepting ballots of 16-year-olds if they voted the right way.

There are also claims that thousands of Spencer Pratt voters have been receiving ballot rejection letters claiming their signature did not match the one on the ballot. A picture of one such letter was posted on X, but it hasn’t been confirmed.

The O’Keefe group found ballots stuffed in a library days after the election was over. O’Keefe posted on X, “We have just received this picture from within Stevenson Ranch Library near Santa Clarita, CA. The photo allegedly shows multiple ballots inside of the libraries own safe, this is where the library keeps other things such as cash.

This picture was taken last Friday. We are hopeful these ballots made it to the right processing centers.”

Remember, evidence is not proof. Evidence does not definitively, by itself prove an argument, it only helps it. So when the Progressive State Content Marketers, the MSM, claims “There is no evidence of election fraud in California,” as one MS Now reporter claimed, you know you are dealing with a marketer, not a journalist.

One of the Progressives’ content marketing satellites, “The Guardian,” posted this agit prop headline as the evidence of fraud began to emerge, “Experts warn Trump ‘inventing fraud’ in California as president ramps up baseless claims.” That’s a real headline, folks.

The Democrats’ top man in the U.S. House, Hakeen Jeffries, claims “I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s part of some far-right conspiracy theory to convince people there’s fraud in California.” This is his coded way of saying only white supremacists believe their lying eyes, don’t be a white supremacist and believe your lying eyes.

He said this AFTER a reporter, not a content marketer, said to him after claiming there was NO EVIDENCE of voter fraud in California, “There are homeless people on Skid Row admitting they were bribed with cash and drugs to vote Democrat in elections…”

SUMMARY

The bellwether takeaway from my investigation in the LA Mayors Race is the Democrats have created a source for power, the Mass Mailer Election machine, that looks increasingly to be their potential downfall.

The Progressives’ unwillingness to believe there are more victims of their policies than winners will be their end. To them, the victims who have been crying out are fringe elements clinging on to white power, whether as a white or someone now called “white-adjacent.”

Progressives do not understand the real existential harm people are perceiving they are suffering as a direct result of their policies. Real or imagined, the perceptions are profoundly real to an increasing number of Americans, this writer included.

It is as if they insist everyone right-handed should be forced to write left-handed, and everyone left-handed are now the only source for truth.

While I am left-handed, identity epistemology (truth is understood through truthful beingnesses, like blackness or homosexual, not whiteness or heterosexual), is nonsensical.

It is one thing for them to believe right-handed people should write left-handed and left-handed people are the true source for truth, just by being left-handed, but it is another thing to win mass mailer elections so they can inflict that policy on the majority of human beings that don’t want to sign up for their anti-American, anti-human program.

Their pathological view of the world has turned them into violent zealots who believe they are doing the “good people” a “good thing” using any means, including mass mailer election fraud, to destroy the evil outside their “left-handed people are now the only source for truth” world.

Their growing inability to see the other as anything but an existential threat to their sense of righteous indignation is making them blind to simple power realities that are setting them up for a spectacular defeat. This is assuming they keep pushing their policies as hard as they have been.

One thing not understood by progressives is that perception eventually overcomes slogans when perception becomes too difficult to ignore. While more and more Americans are becoming painfully aware of the true criminal insanity of the Progressive State dream, far too many still think the Democrats are just the party of the disenfranchised and “a woman’s right to choose.”

Abortion and anti-white racism keep the party afloat.

The pain being inflicted on Americans means the Progressives must protect themselves from the voters. This is where the mass mailer machines come in. While they need the mass mailer machine to insulate them from a real voter revolt, its creation could be the source of their demise.

So long as the policies of mass mailer elected governments do not inflict too great of a pain on too many people that can also find each other, a content people will pay little attention to accusations of fraud.

But when policies harm too many people, that mass mailer machine is an open wound.

It gives your enemies, especially we Americans, the power to charge you with disenfranchisement not because of documented “fraud” but because the whole complexity of the system creates zero confidence in its legitimization.

Its “legitimization” is based on complex technical assertions the layman (which includes me) must take at face value from “experts” we no longer have any confidence in because their policies, by our perception, are so violently anti-human.

The more your policies perceptively harm the governed, the more the mere convoluted nature of your mass mailer system will create real, profound perceptions of disenfranchisement. Where your policies align with the vast majority, or at least do not perceptively directly threaten the peace of the vast majority, your mass mailer system will be tolerated, for it makes it convenient for people to vote.

We do not question automatic convenience unless and until it creates pain.

The convoluted mechanisms involved in mass mailer elections create legitimate opportunities for your opponents to doubt the validity of the overall system.

Mass mailer election entanglements are rife with opportunities for fraud. Every change of custody, every extended day, before and after election day, creates new opportunities for fraud. This is basic common sense, it needs no technological understanding, nor is there a technology that can overcome this fact.

When the state wins with mass mailer votes, but delivers suffering afterwards, the mass mailer system will become the symbol of your illegitimacy. It will be an easy monster to create, especially because it’s far more real than the monster you rode to power, the white devil.

The mass mailer ballot will become the symbol of your tyranny and your illegitimacy as one who rules through the approval of the people.

You rule through the approval of technical veils disguised as elections.

The only way you can stop this growing narrative is to violate our American rights even harder than you already have, which will only make your targets more determined to stop you, eventually by violence. This would be a bad outcome for everyone, so if it ends here, in violence, we Americans have already failed.

In addition to causing your targets more pain, you will also expand the number of people who now directly experience the pain of your policies. These people will be the families and friends of your targets who have never quite believed you are the anti-American Progressive that you truly are.

If their voting district is in a mass mailer district, they already have an easy symbol of your tyranny to rally others around, a real devil, with real devil powers, created by the Progressive State to overthrow the American Republic from within.

“Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day. Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the aged, for I keep your precepts. I hold back my feet from every evil way, in order to keep your word. I do not turn aside from your rules, for you have taught me. How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.” – Psalm 119:97-104

INTRODUCTION

This is not a full analysis of world events, but rather an analysis of bellwether events, regions, trends, and countries that tell the overarching story of the world in February 2026.

Our analysis is from an Americanist perspective, nested within our Christian belief system, using prophetic language.

The bellwether story of all bellwether stories ecumenically is the battle for the heart of governance in the land we currently call the United States of America. That story pits the Progmerican faction against the Trump faction, with the Progmericans wanting to replace individual liberty with social justice, and the Trump faction not fully understanding what true Americanism is (it’s not merely prosperity and military might).

Every nation in the world that is able to has its hands up America’s skirt, attempting to manipulate her towards their preferred outcomes. All of them have one thing in common, a need to see the American project end.

The rise of AI as the new world power defining resource has made Americanism even more of a liability to the nations of the world than it already was, especially now that America’s closest allies, Britian, Australia, and Canada, have all fallen to anti-American projects. Britain’s Gorton and Denton by-election gave the Islamist-courting Green Party a decisive win over both Reform and Labour, a sure sign the road back to western civilization will be a long one for our former closest ally.

The need for states to move rapidly in their AI machine building is what makes Americanism so dangerous, for it slows down the state more than any other existing project. The stories of the past month have only made that reality of power clearer.

A. AMERICA

  1. INSURRECTION -The symbol of the DNC’s hatred for America, and its true alienation from it, was crystalized in President Trump’s SOTU address, when he asked them to stand for Americans over illegal aliens. Afterwards, one Democrat accused the President of racism for even DARING to ask American politicians to stand for Americans over illegal aliens.

The open rebellion of the President is seen in the old guard’s former priest of culture, the celebrity, like Robert DeNiro, who openly calls for Americans to revolt (he’s really only talking to Progmericans, for Americans find him to be a stench in the land).

But the Democrats are still doing real damage beyond rhetoric, especially in Virginia where they hope to take guns, wealth, free thought, and the unborn in a bid to fully convert Virginia over to Progmerica.

More chilling though, might be the news that the FISA court (the de facto Star Chamber Court, a constitutional violation in and of itself), has selected Biden’s former disinformation lawyer to advise them on surveillance.

GO DEEPER ON DNC INSURRECTION

  1. EPSTEIN FILES – As we cover in our Bellwether of the month, (pg. 2), the Epstein Files saga is not going away, despite President Trump’s best efforts to make that happen. With more foreign countries arresting Epstein conspirators, Americans are wondering when we are going to see arrests. The DOJ recently backtracked a bit from its claim that the Epstein File releases were over. Now, they claim they MIGHT have been mistaken, there may be more files to release after all.

As a side note, BoingBoing’s headline for the news Larry Summers has resigned after showing up in the Epstein Files shows you their hierarchy of sin. In their hierarchy, being racist is worst than being a pedophile. Their headline read “Larry Summers used racist language in message to Epstein.”

GO DEEPER ON EPSTEIN FILES

  1. 2026 ELECTIONS – So far, the 2026 midterm elections do not look good for the GOP. Even in Texas, DNC early voting in their primaries is outpacing Republicans. The racist anti-American “firebrand” Jasmine Crocket is leading that DNC primary by double digits.

The gerrymandering wars have mostly been won by the DNC, with Virginia hoping the people deliver what would be a decisive gerrymandering victory.

While President Trump has hinted he might make ID mandatory for U.S. elections, one doubts he’ll have the courts to back him. The Republicans continue to hold rearguard protection of the DNC in the Senate, with their own majority leader refusing to act decisively, to force an oral filibuster that would ultimately force the DNC to break and allow for the passage of this vital legislation.

Failure to pass the legislation, or failure for Trump to triumph in the courts should he use an executive order, will most likely result in at least a DNC House majority, which will assure more rounds of impeachments, subpoenas, etc.

The one bright note is two republicans currently lead the polling in the California gubernatorial race.

GO DEEPER ON THE 2026 ELECTIONS

  1. DEPORTATIONS – The lawlessness of the DNC and its pathological hatred for America can be seen in its zeal for using violence, directly through paid and organized street fighters, and indirectly through agit prop campaigns orchestrated by DNC-controlled-aligned media.

The SOTU crystalized that alignment, not just in the stand for Americans moment, but for the fact that one democrat, Ilhan Omar, brought one of the street fighters to the SOTU (who was promptly arrested for alleged documented attacks on ICE agents). Another Democrat, Seth Moulton, brought an illegal alien to the SOTU, and then helped that illegal alien evade law enforcement.

The violent rhetoric of the press, left unchecked by the DOJ, is the real driver of the violence, that and the foreign money that is helping to fund this de facto DNC street army.

We are watching the expansion of the deportation operations and the growth of deportation centers with growing skepticism. A report soon on the full extent of the operation and its plans going forward might be forthcoming should events warrant it (and we suspect they will).

GO DEEPER ON TRUMP DEPORTATIONS

B. WORLD

  1. OUR NEIGHBORS – America is becoming more and more isolated from its neighbors at home and Europe abroad. Mexico and Canada are taking increasingly oppositional views to the U.S. on the world stage, while Mexico actively works to subvert us. Mexico itself is under siege as the cartels move aggressively to punish the Mexican government for killing one of their top generals.
  2. JAPAN – After their last parliamentary election, Japan is positioning itself to be a partner with America as a beacon of liberty, or perhaps one day the sole beacon. If America stays American, Japan will become America’s closest ally, at least until Britian can reclaim herself.
  3. ISRAEL – Trump ended the Gaza War, though his Board of Peace has failed to gain ground from any noted power in the West, a further testament to the gulf growing between Americans in general and the West as well. Though in the West, pro-American factions, or at least American-aligned factions (like Restore Britian), could change the conditions in a hurry should they ever throw off the shackles of the global leftist world order.
  4. UKRAINE – The Ukraine War is most likely headed for continuation, despite more promises and more talks that we suspect will fizzle to nothing. Neither side is reserved in their total war approach to the other, and neither side has the strength to decisively move the other. With Ukraine abutting against central European nations like Slovakia, risk of the war’s expansion remains high.
  5. IRAN – There are almost daily unsubstantiated reports of resistance in Iran to the current regime. China and Russia have maneuvered to protect Iran, a key geopolitical partner for both of them in the region. Trump has moved military assets into the region but has yet to pull the trigger. Some reports suggest America simply lacks the military power to do the job OR the presence of Chinese and Russian assets alone is deterring them, as they are not wishing to risk a dramatic escalation of the war.
  6. AGHANISTAN-PAKISTAN – On Thursday night, February 26, the Taliban of Afghanistan began a massive offensive campaign against Pakistani border positions along the Durand Line. Pakistan has returned with airstrikes on Taliban leadership targets, hitting military posts, headquarters, and ammunition depots. Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has declared “open war” with the Taliban.

Unsubstantiated rumors have claimed the Taliban leader has been killed. Accurate casualty numbers on both sides are not currently available, though the potential numbers could, for both sides, be in the hundreds.

  1. MYANMAR – We make a quick note of Myanmar here, though we intend on visiting it in more detail soon (perhaps even as a special supplement). As of now the Junta is now calling its first parliament after elections that we have little detail on (other than skepticism of its legitimacy). It now has a veneer of legitimacy it didn’t have before. This will surely adversely affect the resistance to the former junta’s now quasi-legitimate government.

C. CULTURE

  1. ABORTION – Life saw a victory in Puerto Rico where state law now recognizes the unborn as being individuals, human beings, but across the country death marches on. In Virginia, the DNC-controlled state is now pushing for abortion up to birth. The last election cycle they painted people who claimed Democrats want abortion up to birth as being misogynists using disinformation to scare people into supporting them. Now they want Virginians to cosign the bloody contract.

The unborn child murder pill is still readily available, even as more cases of men murdering their own unborn without the mother’s consent pile up.

Abortion continues to be an unrepentant sin of America that accounts for maybe a third of the DNC’s real political power. Without it, they would never win an election in a white majority state again. The white woman of “choice” is the backbone of the Democrat Party.

GO DEEPER ON ABORTION WATCH

  1. EUTHANASIA – Canada appears to be ground zero for the emergence and spreading of Euthanasia laws, laws that allow doctors to murder patients for an increasing variety of reasons. We all understand what euthanasia really is, eugenics, weeding out the liabilities by nudging them towards suicide.

Canada is exposing the spirit of euthanasia as it takes hold of institutions. The incentive to drive people to suicide grows as the profits rise and the expenses go down. In Canada, we have cases of families claiming their loved one was manipulated into killing themselves. The families themselves were isolated from the patient to allow the suicide groomers to do their work.

They’re now considering euthanasia for babies, euthanizing children without parental consent, and are already expanding the reasons to approve state-assisted suicide. For instance, seasonal affective disorder is enough to grant you the “right” to have a doctor murder you, for the good of the whole.

Canada herself is becoming a petri dish of the leftist global order virus. Her ruination will be a caution to us all, though she still has hope in her. She may one day soon return to the family of man. For now, she has chosen the anti-human path of the leftist global order, death.

GO DEEPER ON EUTHANASIA WATCH

  1. TRANSGENDER IDEOLOGY – The phenomenon of a spike in transgender violence at the extreme of mass killer violence continues, with the most recent trans shooter, Blue Zeke Daly, 26, failing mercifully in their attempt to murder a U.S. border patrol agent. Yet outside of this extreme violence category, there appears to be no uptick in violence from the transgender community.

The transgendered expression itself is a challenge to Americanism. First, it assaults our liberty with “trans rights,” which is really coerced acceptance and coerced cultural framing to favor their reality over the binary sex reality; Second, it challenges Americans to extend to the transgendered individual an opportunity to demonstrate their Americanism without being classified outside of it because of the social group they belong to.

Transgenderism as an expression is not anti-American, but the forced framing of a transgendered reality on a binary people, along with the forced acceptance of and participation in that transgendered expression IS anti-American. This is the transgender ideology, which is a key part of DNC-CCP power that can be leveled against Americanism in the name of being “kind.”

Even if they are a minority, there ARE transgendered Americans. Not all transgendered people are transgendered ideologues, and most transgender ideologs are NOT transgendered themselves.

GO DEEPER ON TRANSGENDER IDEOLOGY

  1. DEI/ESG – On the surface, it appears DEI is in retreat, but mostly because of President Trump’s pen, not through longer-lasting legislation to follow up on favorable SCOTUS rulings. More companies are ditching DEI, though Democrats have threatened that those who comply with Trump’s wishes, demands, will face potential criminal prosecution should they return to power.

The recent Vanguard settlement with Texas that will see the investment firm drop its ESG demands might be a more lasting victory than Trump’s XOs will prove to be. If the Dems gain back the White House, will Vanguard executives be arrested?

We suspect DEI is dead not because corporations developed an American conscience, but because of the AI arms race. Whatever power holds this land, Progmerica or America, either one needs excellent people to develop excellent AI. DEI was designed to clog up the institutions, to bring America down. But now the AI arms race will force the Progmericans to jettison the program just as surely as they have been quietly preparing, we believe, to jettison the global warming monster.

California Governor Gavin Newsome, whose state embraced DEI early and often, became the poster boy for the true pandering and patronizing nature of DEI to the communities it alleges to favor, the POC (people of color). He told a black audience that he was just like them, he scored low on his SAT’s and he “can’t read.”

Were the corporate press merely American alone, Gavin Newsome’s career would be done after this. The corporate media barely covered it, for Gavin is a possible 2028 Presidential contender.

D. TARIFFS STRUCK DOWN

The Supreme Court Ruling that struck down much of President Trump’s tariffs under the emergency claim has sent the markets into a volatile state, though overall the markets continue to grow. Expect a full report on the Tariff ruling and the fallout from it in the next issue of MIA (March 6, 2026).

Overall, the world markets are trending generally upward, but with mostly modest growth reported. The tariff ruling is seen as an overall plus for markets by policy experts. What it means in the war between America and the leftist global order, however, might be another matter altogether.

The emergence and rapid evolution of AI is also changing world market parameters in ways that have yet to be fully realized. It is a process we are tracking, but there is not enough data for us to analyze it fully.

GO DEEPER ON TRUMP TARIFFS

E. AI

The pitfalls and opportunities of AI were highlighted this month. China tried to use ChatGPT to destroy the current Prime Minister of Japan’s reputation at home. The plan failed, but it is still noteworthy they tried.

More and more people are beginning to realize AI is humanity’s latest greatest challenge. Can the species survive the invention of AI? While a growing number of voices call for AI’s destruction, we doubt there is any real chance to do that. Slowing down AI’s development would require global power alone, never mind the power needed to stop it altogether.

As militaries seek to integrate with AI, the “ethics” of the AI they choose is essential to sustaining the military culture they hope to sustain. We see this friction with Anthropic, which is getting a rebuff from the military over its ethics parameters, which favor a leftist globalist order framing. Anthropic seems ready to jettison the safeguard, should the military wish to reconsider.

Data center plans are conflicting with local interests, and the battles are only going to heat up. One data center requires as much as 900 acres of land and uses more water daily than many small towns do. While technologies are emerging that might significantly reduce resource demand, for the foreseeable future, the push for those who are capable to build massively and quickly continues.

Countries with less individual rights offer great advantage over countries with more individual rights, though AI companies in the U.S. who might be tempted to build overseas where it’s easier to invade local stewardship, must consider their vulnerability to that same state that made their destruction of local wellbeing so easy in the first place.

We do not believe we are using hyperbole when we say EVERYONE who is able should be learning the principles of AI, AI structure, its physical components, and how to manage it as a resource.

One way or another, AI will touch your life, and if it touches your life as a digital pope, you are in danger of becoming its machine. If it touches you as a machine that you understand and can visualize (I visualize data centers and cooling pools intentionally when I interact with AI), it remains your machine.

Being grounded in yourself is more important than ever, lest you become the AI’s machine. For some of us, that grounding comes through our daily immersion in scripture. Our story is in that total story, not in the atomized presence of the now where AI machines become digital popes.

SYNTHESIS SUMMARY

Be sure to read our quarterly sitrep in our April 10, 2026, issue for our Predictive Analysis for the next quarter.

The world is in the last death throes of the old-world order, the U.S. pax, and is now entering uncertain world orders. Despite attempts to claw back the broken American pax by leftist global order disciples, including U.S. politicians, there is little doubt at this point that even a post-Trump world is incapable of returning to that now broken order.

The current major hotspots of the world, Ukraine, Iran, and now possibly Pakistan-Afghanistan, can quickly be joined by numerous potential hotspots, from the Koreas to Mexico (whose already in a near civil war state as it is.

While AI rises, the battle that began before its rise, the battle over global order versus nation-state order, is coming to its near-completion. Britain might be the bellwether of that battle, with the rise of the British nation-state disciples through Restore Britain serving as the opposition to overwhelming leftist global order power. How Britian goes may determine how the other nation-states go.

America, however, is uniquely positioned to both preserve the nation-state over the global order while undermining the ethnic essentialism found in most nation-state models today, including Britain, Japan, and Turkey, to name a few (which is nearly EVERY nation state).

Every aspect of human life in one way, shape, or form, is (or soon will be), confronted with a new human paradigm, AI in the wild, at the consumer level. In our quarterly sitrep, we will offer our predictions on the immediate worlds that will come because of both the potential in AI and the hearts of the people who build, maintain, and utilize its services.

We cannot stress to our readers enough the importance of grounding yourselves in a script, whether it’s the Vedas or scripture, whatever aligns with your current beliefs. The people who are without a cosmic narrative outside of creation itself are the most at risk to be subsumed by the rising AI spirit in the land.

If you don’t want to be absorbed, become self-stewarded in your beliefs and preferences, and anchor that stewardship in the script of those beliefs. For most of our staff, we choose the Protestant canon of scripture. Whatever you choose though, beginning daily meditating on that script today.

INTRODUCTION

Canada was struck with the news of a mass shooting that left 8 victims dead, and scores more injured. The dead included five students from the location of the second part of the mass shooting, Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, near Vancouver, Canada.

The shooter would then turn the gun on himself.

The motive for the shooting, so far, remains unclear. The shooter, Jesse van Rootselaar, was originally reported as a female shooter, but it would later be revealed “she” was a male presenting as a female.

It might turn out the motive for the shooting had nothing to do with the shooter’s transgenderism, but we suggest you could rightly assume it had something to do with it, though we would not recommend you make that conclusion until more information comes out (which might have by the time this report is published).

For this bellwether analysis, we want to look at this event in the context of Canada’s current governing spirit. We will bracket off the motive. What we want to consider is the promise Canada has offered to Canadians, that if they lay down their arms and shut their mouths in submission to the state orthodoxy, their lives will be safe from hate. Lose your guns, lose your tongues, and you will be safer.

They gave up Christ in the public square in part to protect the very person that murdered their children.

A. THE DETAILS

On February 10, 2026, 18-year-old Jesse van Rootselaar kicked off a killing spree in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, Canada. He killed his mother and his stepbrother at his residence, with a young female relative escaping. She ran to a neighbor to seek help, who then alerted the police. The shooting happened at 2:20PM. The police did not arrive until 15 minutes later.

While the police were going to the residence, Rootselaar was on his way to the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, with a shotgun and a modified handgun. The school is a gun-free zone. There was no armed security. There were no armed teachers.

By the time the Rootselaar arrived at the school it was 2:30PM, just 10 minutes after he killed his mother and stepbrother. The shooting was reported at 2:32 PM, another team of officers arrived two minutes later. By the time the officers who were called to his residence arrived, he was already dead in the school.

Rootselaar would have just 4 minutes to do his worst. His victims were powerless to stop him. The police were also powerless to stop him. By the time they arrived, Rootselaar was already dead by suicide, but so were six others, one adult teacher and five students (three females and two males aged 12-17). Along with the dead were 27 more injured, mostly students.

The motivation for the killings is not clear, but Rootselaar has a years-long history of causing disturbances at his home, some of which involved firearms. At one point, law enforcement confiscated the weapons, but later returned them after a petition was started. The firearms do not appear to be owned by Rootselaar, however.

Rootselaar began the process of “transitioning” to a “female” four to six years ago (we have conflicting information on this point), at the age of 13. He was on anti-psychotic drugs, in addition to transitioning drugs at the time of the shooting. His transgendered status was concealed from the public as long as it could be by both the Canadian government and the international corporatist press.

While the motive is not clear, the presence of anti-psychotic drugs in the shooter has become a tragically well-earned trope of mass shootings that this event follows as well. His transgenderism as a factor is ambiguous, though one wonders if the transgender “solution” was masking a much deeper problem transitioning only made worse (as this writer suspects is happening a lot in the age of trans mania).

B. THE IMMEDIATE REPORTING

We asked Grok to give us the headlines that were immediately shared by the international corporatist press after the shooting, and Grok’s answer revealed these cherry-picked headlines:

  • CBC News: “10 dead, including suspect, following shooting in Tumbler Ridge“
  • The Globe and Mail: “Ten killed, including suspect, in mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C.”
  • Vancouver Sun: “LIVE: Nine dead, 27 injured in mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge”
  • National Post: “Canada in shock after one of the country’s worst mass shootings”
  • CTV News: “C. RCMP give an update in their investigation into a mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge”
  • BBC News: “At least seven dead after school shooting in British Columbia, Canada, police say”
  • The Guardian: “Canada shooting: 10 dead including suspect in attack on Tumbler Ridge high school, police say”

All of these answers provided a pretty generic telling of the event, but what Grok gave me was not indicative of the REAL spirit international corporatist media chose to operate within.

After these headlines, Grok started listing headlines acknowledging the shooter was transgendered. Grok would leave one with the impression the international corporatist media acted responsibly, with no political agenda. However, that was not reality; we believe that was programming protecting the disenfranchised class over simply answering a question truthfully.

Here are some of the headlines we found when we did time-based searches:

  • Collingwood Today – “‘Beyond devastating’: 10 dead, including female suspect, in B.C. school shooting”
  • MSN – “10 dead, including female suspect, in ‘devastating’ shootings at BC school and home.”
  • MSN – “Female Identified as Suspect in Worst Canada School Shooting in Decades That Killed 10 and Injured at Least 25”
  • Reuters – “Ten dead, including female suspect, after Canada school shooting – as it happened”

A Royal Mounted Police officer at a press conference just after the shooting referred to the shooter as a “woman.”

C. THE BACKGROUND

We have created a special news tag in our aggregation process called “Canada Soviet” to tag all the stories that cover Canada’s lurch into authoritarianism. A trans person in Canada has more personal power as a normal private citizen than most people have in America today. A trans person in Canada cannot have their identity challenged. A trans person in Canada can destroy competition with a false accusation that won’t dare be challenged lest the challenger face hate speech charges.

You can call Christ the devil in public, but you can’t call abortion murder.

As for guns, Canada has effectively criminalized gun defense, along with most gun possessions. The shooter violated Canada’s gun laws, yet was able to accomplish his dark deed, nonetheless.

  1. LEGAL TRANS PRIVILEGE – In June of 2017 Canada introduced the now-famous bill C-16, which launched psychologist Jordan Peterson into the stratosphere as he stood as one of the few Canadians warning against the intolerance pregnant in this bill.

The bill was an amendment to Canada’s Orwellian-named Human Rights Act, which sought to limit liberty in the name of protecting the disenfranchised from being insulted in public. This amendment added “gender identity or expression” as a protected expression that ALL Canadians must comply with, regardless of whether they believed men could become women or not.

The Criminal Code already protected certain groups from what it calls “hate propaganda.” This bill added transgenders to that protected class. In other words, it de facto ennobled the transgender class as a protected class that should no longer be expected to hear opinions that invalidated their assertions that a man could become a woman, a woman could be a man, or that genders even existed at all. If they said it, you better parrot it, end stop.

In January 2022, a bill that was passed in 2021 took effect, Bill C-4. That bill made it illegal to attempt to persuade anyone, including children, that they should be heterosexual or “cis” gendered (a pejorative attempting to both vilify conventional binary gender constructions and invalidate them).

The fact that the bill included a phrase most humans would consider hate speech at this point, “cis gendered” shows the futility in allowing the state to define what “hate” is (as if hate, in and of itself, is a bad thing, unless you want to argue that hating murder is evil).

These are the two major acts, though provinces and local governments have their own “protections” for the ennobled trans class (except in the case of Alberta, which seems to be fighting back against the ennobled trans class).

ED. NOTE: While we join our readers in their concern over “trans mania,” we hold the view that some people might very well need transgender “therapy.” We also want to make it clear the evidence for the rise in trans violence is ambiguous. The majority of transgendered people should not be stigmatized by the minority ‘bad actors.’ We believe in individual justice, not social justice, and that applies to transgendered people as well.

2. ANTI-GUN LAWS – Canada has some of the strictest anti-gun laws in the nation. It began in 1995, one year before the UK began the process of surrendering their guns.

The Firearms Act of 1995 added a host of new requirements for gun ownership, which included licensing, background checks, safety training, and rules that effectively made it illegal to use your gun to defend yourself in your own home (outside of the most bizarre circumstances).

The only non-restricted weapons Canadians can currently own are bolt-action rifles and pump action shotguns. Any weapon capable of semi-automatic firing is highly restricted or prohibited altogether.

In 2022, Canada’s Bill C-21 took effect, which put a freeze on the sale, purchase, transfer, or import of handguns. It also ended ALL conceal carry for civilians, with some limited open carry allowances which basically allowed Canadians to hunt with their non-semi-automatic long guns.

While an unidentified adult in his household was legally able to possess the firearms the shooter used to kill 8 people, the shooter was not. The shooter violated multiple gun laws, appeared to use limited-action firearms (still unconfirmed), and was yet able to kill 8 people and himself in the span of 14 minutes, and that included the time it took him to get to the school from his residence.

  1. ANTI-SPEECH LAWS – During our research, we used Grok to search for Canada’s anti-speech laws. Grok began its results for me with this dystopian, unreal statement: “Freedom of expression in Canada is protected as a fundamental freedom under section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (part of the Constitution Act, 1982). This includes freedom of thought, belief, opinion, expression, and the press and other media of communication.”

What followed next was a complete disconnect from that opening statement.

Grok would “clarify,” not realizing (or being allowed to realize) that this next statement wholly invalidates the first one and makes Grok read like an Orwellian propagandist delivering the new definitions of the day and the new list of friends and enemies.

Grok “clarified,” “However, these rights are not absolute. Section 1 of the Charter allows ‘reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.’ Courts apply the Oakes test to assess such limits, requiring the objective to be pressing/substantial, the means rationally connected and minimally impairing, and the benefits outweighing the harm.”

Grok also buried the lead. In 1985, C-46 was passed, which created a new Criminal Code called “Hate Propaganda and Related Offences.” This bill was challenged in the courts where it was “validated” by their Supreme Court on numerous cases, the two key ones being R. v. Keegstra (1990) and Saskatchewan (Human Rights Commission) v. Whatcott (2013).

Here are some of the vaguer, and thus more disturbing parts of the criminal code (from Grok):

Section 319(1): Public incitement of hatred – Communicating statements in a public place that incite hatred against an identifiable group where likely to lead to a breach of the peace (up to 2 years).

Section 319(2): Wilful promotion of hatred – Communicating statements (other than in private conversation) that wilfully promote hatred against an identifiable group (up to 2 years). Defences include truth, public interest discussion, good faith religious opinion (under subsection 319(3)(b)), and good faith belief on religious grounds.

Section 319(2.1): Wilful promotion of antisemitism – Specifically condoning, denying, or downplaying the Holocaust (added in recent amendments; up to 2 years).

Had the shooter lived, he might “enjoy” the “extra” protections his ennobled class might soon receive should Bill C-9 pass. This bill hopes to remove religious exemptions from speech restrictions, as well as add new offenses for displaying hate symbols. It also seeks to eliminate the need for the Attorney General to consent to speech violation prosecutions. In other words, they want more people to be subject to their thought control, and they want to make it EASIER to prosecute them.

D. BELLWETHER ANALYSIS

  1. NOTE: This is a new feature we have created. Unlike a PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS, this type of analysis is about understanding the context of the “present,” not predicting what might come next. Unlike a SUMMARY, it is not simply a synthesis of the facts as a review, it is an analysis of the spirit of the whole event as a bellwether.

A somewhat simplistic, but mostly accurate timeline of events will show the kernel of Wokeness was most closely created by the Frankfurt School starting in the early 20s. The kernel of wokeness was born in Europe.

Under the label, “critical theory,” the notion of social justice over economic justice began to emerge. By the 60s, American leftists decided to exploit that path, having realized capitalism wasn’t going to collapse anytime soon, and, unlike their predictions, was continuing to offer greater prosperity to more people in society than communism ever did (or would).

Wokeness, long before we used the term, was infiltrating American academia, which in turn spread its wokeness to other nations. As it infiltrated direct government power, the American state began to export wokeness to the rest of the world. They offered cash to the compliant and interference (to put it mildly) to the non-compliant.

Unfortunately for Canada, they got our wokeness in spades. As our next-door neighbor, Canada was most affected by the U.S.’s new woke promotions.

In America, the battle for the spirit of the land continues, with wokeness currently taking major hits (but hardly dead). In other countries like Canada, the UK, and Australia, wokeness has ended their status as a traditional Western “democratic” power. There is no free speech in any of these lands.

Wokeness may have started in Europe, but America gave it international strength, poisoning the rest of the world with an ideology that hates its citizens. Yet, America is still holding out while the others seem to have fallen (at least for now).

Why is that? It is because America’s right to rule is based on the premise that we are endowed by an authority outside the state with certain rights, rights that enable us to define and choose our own paths to happiness and prosperity.

Canada and Australia are no longer directly under the rule of the British crown, so the monarchy does not justify their rule. For these two countries, the right to rule is from “popular sovereignty,” the approval of the people, which is just mob rule with extra steps if that is your own right to rule principle.

In Britian, the monarch is the final authority, not God, so there are no absolute restrictions on government power.

Canada, Australia, and Britain all quickly gutted the public of guns starting around the same time, the late 90s, as it became apparent that technology was beginning to advantage small-scale resistance over large-scale conquest.

After the guns fell, the tongue followed behind, in all three countries, with Canada and the UK fighting neck-and-neck to be the most Soviet western nation of them all.

Now, here Canadians sit, having been promised security in exchange for surrendering dangerous freedom but getting neither. They sit in a world in which the press and the government must lie about the basic facts of a shooter to protect a special class of people from free tongues, enslaving all, including the special class (which are now desperately dependent on the state to protect them from mean thoughts, a protection they’ve been propagandized to militantly expect).

The “security” through disarming your neighbors’ guns and tongues has made Canada fundamentally less safe than it was before. A madman grew up among them, indulged by the system, protected from reality (you have a mental illness, you’re not a girl), and medically conditioned to be predisposed to even greater psychotic breaks with reality.

While children’s bodies were yet cold, the “authorities” were doubling down on the toxic lie that this boy was a girl. They were probably more frightened of the authorities sending them to jail for violating the psychotic safe space of transgendered people than they were of anything that happened at that school.

This bellwether event shows what happens when a government is too afraid of its citizens to let them have the tools to defend their children from a 4-minute execution by a mentally ill child indulged by the same system that took Canadians’ guns away. They created the beast and they disarmed its victims.

For we Americans, this should compel us even more to resist any effort to confiscate our guns. Vast swathes of American land are occupied by Progmerican overlords who seek to do to us what Canada has done to its citizens, disarm us while they raise beasts to kill us.

Bellwether DeepDive – A Tale of Three Million Epstein Files – How to Turn a Curse into a Blessing

“If Balak should give me his house full of silver and gold, I would not be able to go beyond the word of the Lord, to do either good or bad of my own will. What the Lord speaks, that will I speak? And now, behold, I am going to my people. Come, I will let you know what this people will do to your people in the latter days.”-

Numbers 24:13-14

INTRODUCTION

Just as we were wrapping up our monthly MIA report for January 2026, news broke that the Department of Justice had released over 3 million documents related to the massive conspiracy surrounding the now-deceased Jeffrey Epstein. This was a sort of prophetic utterance on the land from the highest echelons of power. It was meant for a curse, a curse by omission. It kept the black hole mystery alive but offered no clear justice. It keeps the land unsatisfied and unsecure.

When the Israelites were about to enter into the promised land, Balaam of Peor, a prophet of Ba’al, was enticing Israelites to worship the god that calls you to sacrifice your child. He was preparing to give a curse to the Israelites, but instead, God compelled him to give them a blessing, which he did.

Balaam’s reward was to later be killed by Joshua for the crime he committed of bringing Israelites to worship Ba’al.

The Israelites were about to enter their Promised Land, which was a Hope Exit of their time from Egyptian and Wilderness bondage when a curse was about to befall them. But that curse was turned into a blessing by the supernatural intervention of God, who was compelled to speak blessings on Israel and curses on Moab.

We Americans are about to enter our Hope Exit (hopefully) as well, as the division between American and Progmerican becomes clearer and clearer over the coming months. Just as we face this challenge, we see once again the Ba’al priests protected by the establishment. It seems they hold the high places still and they mean to protect their child-sacrificing god, come what may.

Yet, even as Balaam hoped to pronounce a curse with his mountaintop declarations, what might have been meant as a form of a curse on the land in the Epstein files release will yet be a blessing on the land, though it might be difficult to see that now.

After the releases, the partisan information warriors scampered off to their platforms and produced agit prop and content marketing condemning the other and protecting the ingroup. There were some, mostly outside of the Progmerican left (but not exclusively), that took measured wait-and-see takes, but, for the most part, Trump was exonerated or condemned, Bill Clinton was exonerated or condemned. There was little ground in between being created by the info warriors in the partisan camps.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche made the announcement, not Attorney General Pam Bondi, which might be telling in and of itself. He gave a measured statement, exclaiming these documents only represented half of the documents the government had yet not released. He claimed these files were held back because they identified victims, exposed medical files, had child pornographic images, or showed death, or showed abuse.

Right from the start he made it clear we were getting a sanitized look at the madness, which might be to our favor, but then again, it might be a demon we need to look at to see that the demon was fed by us as well. THIS might lead us to the repentance we have yet, as a nation, to experience, the repentance against our worshiping of Ba’al, the god who calls a nation to sacrifice their children to his fire.

Remember, many of the highest-level leaders of our country, in all sectors of life, were part of this child rape-murder-sacrifice-torture cabal. None, so far, have faced criminal consequence for their actions. Most of them continue to walk amongst us, our masters, dictating our terms of existence to us from behind a veil of moral supremacism concealing child sacrifice at its heart.

If it’s not them, it’s their adult children, who, by now, have most likely been initiated into the family affair, the family “business.”

These same leaders were the ones making deals with China that sold our vitality to the Chinese Communist Party for a promise of an Eldorado that would never come (the burgeoning consumer class in China that would one day dwarf America’s).

While they sold our vocations to China, at home they were browbeating us with a morality they used to justify corporate censorship and the unpersoning of the unorthodox. While they were browbeating us in public, in private, they were stealing life to satisfy Ba’al’s fire within them all, a fire that is never quenched, which is an eternal torment to the worm that never dies.

The documents were only released in what we imagine is a “minimal” adherence to a law ordering the DOJ to release the Epstein Files. The Deputy Attorney General stated, “We comply with the act, and there is no ‘protect President Trump.’ We didn’t protect or not protect anybody.”

The statement itself is a minimal affirmation of the Act, which would support our theory the DOJ “minimally” complied with the law. As for the claim they didn’t protect anyone, let us see if we find this statement to be accurate after our analysis.

It should be noted that this release was six weeks past the due date outlined in the November 19, 2025 Act signed into law by President Donald Trump.

The releases include 2,000 videos and 180,000 images. The two biggest names everyone was looking for, Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, failed to deliver the proverbial smoking gun, as these releases largely did (with some noted exceptions).

First, we will look at the two biggest names and what these Epstein Files say about them, then in general at who was most damaged and who escaped any serious harm, and finally we’ll analyze what this type of release tells us about the Reality of Power at the global scale, behind closed doors, where the children are most likely still being used as elixirs of youth and deification.

A. DONALD TRUMP

Shortly after the Epstein Files release, President Donald Trump told the press on Air Force One, “I didn’t see (the files) myself, but I was told by some very important people that not only does it absolve me, it’s the opposite of what people were hoping.”

He was referring specifically to what he alleges the Epstein Files show, a conspiracy between Jeffrey Epstein and author Michael Wolff to besmirch Trump’s name out of revenge. This charge has some suggestions through the email correspondence between Wolff and Epstein that might corroborate that claim, but there is no smoking guns affirming the claim. Trump has threatened to sue Wolff, who expressed no alleged fear at such possibility.

Progmerican Info Warriors have taken to sharing a meme that says “Donald Trump was mentioned more times in the Epstein Files than Jesus was mentioned in the Bible.” As usual, category “errors” abound in that narrative, the first of which is that one category is the Holy Word of God, and the other category is criminal child sex trafficking investigation files.

The meme itself reveals that the Progmericans have no hoped-for smoking gun from the Epstein files. The most damaging files are anonymous complaints that are filled with horrifying details. However, most of the other high-profile people, including Bill Clinton, suffer from this same circumstance.  These are mostly unsubstantiated claims by anonymous sources that were either followed up on and ruled out as uncredible or ruled out as uncredible from the start.

The “best” attack the left had was to malapropistically use Christ as a bludgeon against Trump’s presumed Christian base. Not understanding scripture at all, they had no idea such comparisons would ring hollow, especially for those who hold to the rather orthodox belief that ALL of scripture points to Christ. Where His name is not spoken, the Word yet points to Him.

It also cheapens the profundity and sacredness of scripture by comparing it to child pornographic criminal records. THIS was not by accident.

While the DOJ says Trump has been mentioned over 5,000 times in the files, Bill Clinton’s number of mentions hasn’t been released. When you do a search for Bill Clinton in the DOJ’s Epstein Files library, you get 1,230 mentions. When you do a search for Donald Trump, you get 1,478 results.

B. BILL CLINTON

Bill Clinton will find nothing even suggesting an exoneration like President Trump did in this release, nor was there a smoking gun condemning him. The evidence against him still remains circumstantial, which includes the new photos of him with Jeffrey Epstein, including some with young women, sometimes in questionable (but not obviously so) positions.

When the U.S. House Oversight Committee subpoenaed both Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary to testify under oath, the Clintons initially refused. Now, they have agreed, in principle, to testify in the face of potential criminal charges of contempt for continuing to refuse to comply to the subpoena.

Perhaps the most damaging evidence against the Clintons, in general, is Jeffrey Epstein’s deposition in 2016 when he invoked the Fifth Amendment numerous times to avoid answering questions about the nature of his involvement with Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. Outside of that, this release introduced no real new information about the Clintons and their relationship to Jeffrey Epstein.

C. THOSE MOST AFFECTED

This category excludes, of course, the ones obviously most affected from this whole operation (one probably still going on in one way, shape, or form), the victims of these little gods, the men and women consuming the future to preserve the illusion of the eternal now.

  1. KIER STARMER – The UK Prime Minister was not originally on this list, but circumstances have changed. Momentum continues to grow for the PM to resign after it was revealed Starmer KNEW about Peter Mandelson’s connections to Jeffrey Epstein BEFORE he approved of Mandelson becoming the U.S. ambassador.

His own intelligence service flagged Mandelson, but Starmer overruled the flag. The only reason this was discovered was because the second person on this list, Peter Mandelson, was exposed in the Epstein Files in a way that led British authorities to discover this fact.

  1. PETER MANDELSON – After the Epstein Files were released, Peter Mandelson was exposed as having leaked sensitive information to Jeffrey Epstein that could result in criminal charges. The fallout was immediate, as Mandelson was forced to resign from the Labour Party and from the House of Lords. He had already been forced to resign as the UK ambassador to the U.S. It was the notification from the Epstein Files that Mandelson had leaked this information that led to an investigation exposing the initial flag by the intelligence community on Mandelson and Starmer’s direct override of the flag.
  2. MIROSLAV LAJCAK – Slovakia’s National Security Adviser was forced to resign after the Epstein files release revealed he had numerous parties and meetings with Epstein back in 2018. The opposition party pounced on the releases, while Lajcak claimed he had done no wrong.
  3. STEVE TISCH – The Co-owner of the New York Giants, Steve Tisch, showed up in this new batch release 400 times, and that includes emails from him using terms like “working girl” that made it highly probable he was referring to sexual activity, though not underage activity.

While the NFL has announced plans to investigate Steve Tish, so far, he hasn’t been forced to resign, nor has he offered to.

  1. BILL CLINTON – While no smoking gun was revealed in the release, they did help to fuel the House Oversight Committee’s efforts to get the Clintons to testify under oath (something they wanted to do for some time).
  2. OTHERS – Some lesser affected include Harvey Weinstein, Leon Black, Casey Wasserman, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The last one is most noteworthy, with Lutnick showing up for an Epstein Island lunch visit years after he claimed he last contacted Epstein.

ED.NOTE: We consider one Democrat hard hit by the Epstein Files release, Stacey Plaskett, a minor actor. What she has alleged to do, text Jeffrey Epstein during U.S. House hearings, indicts the system. Her removal as an actor, however, is almost inconsequential.

While Donald Trump doesn’t appear to have the clear exoneration he claims, he has taken no real damage beyond what he’s already received from his handling of the Epstein files in general.

D. WHAT’S MISSING

At the now culturally irrelevant Grammy Awards, British actor and comedian Trevor Noah made a joke about Donald Trump, saying, “That’s a Grammy that every artist wants — almost as much as Trump wants Greenland. Which makes sense because, since Epstein’s gone, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton. I told you, it’s my last year! What are you going to do about it?”

Upon hearing this, President Trump responded on Truth Social, “The host, Trevor Noah, whoever he may be, is almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Ratings Academy Awards. I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight’s false and defamatory statement, have never been accused of being there, not even by the Fake News Media. Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast. It looks like I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C., and suing him for plenty$. Ask Little George Slopadopolus and others how that all worked out. Also, ask CBS!” added Trump. “Get ready, Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you!”

This exchange right here might be the most amount of action these file releases have generated far. A far-left anti-American British citizen on an American television show to an American audience made a joke about a former and current President going to an island that is known for child rape (and probably child murder as well).

The CURRENT President responded to this jokester by threatening to sue him, demonstrating a critical unawareness of basic first amendment constitutional law, or an indifference to it. Either way, the most dramatic exchange to come after this mega-release turns out to be between an anti-American agit prop activist properly exploiting American freedom and the sitting President not properly understanding it.

What’s missing is evidence that leads to criminal prosecution for anyone, which we can only surmise includes a high proportion of leaders in all segments of society. Hundreds, if not thousands, of powerful men and women who participated in consuming children to satisfy their little god fires, are still among us, still holding social, cultural, political, and even sacred leadership and gatekeeping positions.

What’s missing is accountability, what’s missing is a transparent assurance the operation is actually shut down and is not being continued with different Epsteins and Maxwells.

E. THE CASE FOR SEEING MORE

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche let us know this release was only half of the files the DOJ still has. We suggested he complied as minimally as he thought he could get away with, and the fruit of this release suggests to us he wasn’t being truthful when he said he wasn’t protecting anyone.

We don’t presume he is protecting President Trump, or NOT protecting President Trump. We don’t presume Trump is guilty beyond turning a blind eye to something he AT LEAST should have figured out a lot sooner than he did (if he’s even guilty of that).

We don’t even suggest this for President Clinton as well. For all we know, both these men could be innocent. For all we know, both these men could be guilty of comparable crimes.

Blanche revealed the released files did not include those files that showed child pornographic images, or showed death, or showed abuse. He also cited medical records concerns and victim identities; both seem credible enough. However, those first three categories don’t, especially because sensitive areas can be blurred to at least expose the criminal, something we must assume has already been done, but led to no arrests.

As stated above, we have no idea who walks among us that is part of this Satanic cult, and the cost of shocking Americans with the awful sins of our leaders is overshadowed by the much costlier consequence of continuing to protect the criminals of Epstein Island. Protect no one, not even Donald Trump (if it’s needed at all).

Failure to let Americans see the horrifying truth will only further erode the state’s legitimacy of rule, which is already on life support as it is. Release the Kraken, come what may, for the guilty can no longer be protected if the state in its current form (officially still American) hopes to continue to exist.

SUMMARY

The Department of Justice, under the direction of Pam Bondi, did the minimum it felt it had to do to at least give the political leadership of both parties plausible deniability that yet did not remove the Epstein fangs pointed at one another.

The goal here, it would seem, was to sustain the status quo between the real competing factions. These competing main factions are Trump’s elites now hedging their bets on the China model and leaning towards an America-lite model, and the “China Model through the Woke Vehicle of Power” elites who have been the center of power until recently.

We see here King Kong versus Godzilla, fighting over our city, with the Epstein files being performative missiles shot off now and then by the city security forces, who assure us the monsters are under control. We Americans find ourselves rooting for King Kong, the American-like monster, for at least this monster won’t completely destroy our city, whereas we KNOW Godzilla wants to destroy us completely.

We have a real chance in the post-Kong victory world to fully live out our Americanism. We have little chance to fully live out our Americanism if Godzilla wins. Still, we see the monster that King Kong is clearly for ourselves, and we are not prepared to bend our knee to him anymore than we would be prepared to bend our knee to Godzilla. Or so the metaphor goes.

PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS

The latest attempt by the Trump administration and the DNC to placate the masses without giving too much safe harbor to the enemy has served only to delay the soon-to-be louder voices demanding the real damaging files get released, come what may.

We can’t imagine anyone seriously thought this would put the Epstein files to bed, and possibly that was never the intended outcome. For as much as we want to know the full truth of the child sex ring designed to blackmail thought leaders in multiple countries, we also understand the black hole mystery that is the Epstein Files.

This black hole mystery can gobble up minds, resources, that might otherwise have discovered practical paths to blunt centralized control over human action. This is not to suggest the effort to expose the truth shouldn’t continue, but only that the continuation of this black hole mystery is not completely disadvantageous to the elites.

This is especially true of the elites who continue to be part of the blackmailers group, not the blackmailed leaders group Clinton, Trump, etc., are candidates for being in. The blackmailers have every reason for the mystery to continue, and our passion to continue to be absorbed by it, for, even as we speak, most likely they’ve long moved on to their new centers of child sacrifice.

We always allow for God’s intervention, but outside of that, this black hole mystery is set to continue at least for another year, maybe longer.

We doubt the Clinton hearings will yield much more than body language videos and montages of “I plea the Fifth,” which is assuming the hearings happen at all, something far from certain at this point. If they do, the Clintons will try to look hard and determined in the same way Hillary did during the Benghazi hearings (presaging Trump).

Trump has standardized the bluster, the WWE promotion-style savaging, which the Clintons will try to manifest in their outfits and their demeanor.

They will address the Republicans curtly, with a tinge of contempt. Bill could be a wildcard if he gets caught in a logic trap and says more than he should. The DNC criminal media will cover them with plaudits and heap shame on the Republicans daring to question their integrity.

The press will carry headlines comparing Trump’s 5K mentions to Bill’s “fewer” mentions as proof this is merely a political witch hunt. The girls at the View may offer this as proof that the Department of Justice is protecting Donald Trump by going after the Clintons to distract them from Trump, who, after all, is mentioned more

The net result will be a blunting of the Epstein Files as a uniquely Republican or Democrat problem, which is not a good overall net result for America, because it means less creators will find incentives in producing content keeping the pressure on these people to release files (since it doesn’t exclusively hurt the other faction).

On one hand this might be good if those same creators start showing their audiences how to build Americanist communities right where they live, starting in their own homes. But this seems less likely, as that type of content is not nearly as monetizable as Epstein content that eviscerates the opposing faction.

On the other hand, if this is swept under the rug, it will only embolden the elites to do more, which means more victims than ever before, for surely, they haven’t stopped Jeffrey Epstein’s work. What this means is they haven’t stopped offering children for power to the people who will still rule over us as if WE were the ones that needed THEIR moral authority for our lives to be “good.”

There is a Goldilocks zone for our engagement with this black hole mystery, and it’s not silence or indifference, nor is it where the bulk of our energies should be spent.

The blackmailers would ultimately be happy with either/or extreme, total obsession that saps restorative energies to total crickets allowing the conspiracy to operate in silence. The blackmailers prefer to see the pendulum swing wildly from the obsession extreme to the cricket extreme. This assures the blackmailed still feel threatened while also assuring the blackmailers continue to remain invisible (as they mostly still are).

A consistent, steady approach to investigating the Epstein files is what is needed amongst us Americans (see Whitney Webb), but only a handful of us.

Unless a brave whistleblower manages to get the irrefutable proof of the dark sins of our leaders, expect the black hole mystery of the Epstein Files to continue to burn, for good and for ill, against a backdrop of an America struggling to find her people amongst peoples who have long ago forgotten what America is.

Our ability to confront these sins, to bring to account the main criminals, will most likely be what finally determines if the spirit of Americanism prevails in this land or the spirit of Progmericanism, child sacrifice, prevails in this land.

The Epstein Files release has not fooled the Americans, it is only helping us to clarify whose clearly with us and whose clearly against us. In other words, the Epstein Files release is already proving to be a blessing, not the curse it was intended to be. If you are too partisan in your defense of ANY suspected politician, including Trump, we have reason to question your Americanist credentials.

Will Ba’al replace Christ, officially, as the centerpiece of the “new Progmerican republic” or will Christ remain muted under an American-lite MAGA banner, or will Christ be unbounded in a restored Americanist nation? So far, the release hasn’t had its intended results, which bodes well for the Americanists.

“My advisers built a wall between myself and my people. I didn’t realize what was happening. When I woke up, I had lost my people.” – Mohammed Reza Pahlavi

INTRODUCTION

On December 28th, 2025, protests erupted throughout the Islamic Republic of Iran. Decades of incompetence, corruption and incoherent policies have wrecked the Iranian economy to the point that the Iranian Rial (IRR) went from about IRR 48,000 to $1 USD in the first week of December, to crashing down to c.IRR 1.4 million to $1 USD on December 28. Clearly, this level of crash does not provide a sustainable economy.

These riots have the brutal “Islamic Republic” regime (which has abused and violated that nation for some 47 years) teetering on the brink of being overrun, and completely displaced. As of this writing, estimates of the death toll among protesters may be in excess of 12,000.

Decades of poor decisions have resulted in a fundamental undermining of both the natural environment and the rule of law in one of the most populated Muslim countries in the world. President Donald Trump, as this article goes to press, has made some provocative statements in support of the anti-regime protestors…and in doing so, risks disaster if he fails to follow through, or if he fails to follow through effectively (he may have followed through by the time this issue is released).

Essentially, he encouraged the ongoing unrest and declared “help is on the way.”

This report will get you caught up with where we are now and conclude with an analysis of Trump’s options once the “help is on the way” statement was made.

A. WHAT MAKES THIS REBELLION DIFFERENT

The most critical thing to understand about this particular series of anti-regime protests is that it began with the bazaari’s of the country – the small, bourgeoisie business owners who anchor the national economy.

This is important because the other massive protests that have erupted with regularity, beginning in 1999, and especially since 2009, were all based on angry students rioting over various issues, including women’s rights, but also over the deteriorating situation with the economy, making the degrees the students were working towards useless.

With this particular protest coming from the business underpinnings of the country, the tone was fundamentally different. Such a catastrophic collapse of the currency renders it virtually impossible for merchants – especially small merchants – to sustain business operations. These are not a bunch of angsty children demanding to be heard, but the base of what keeps the country running.

This, obviously, represents a breaking point for the regime. The escalating violence quickly shifted from mere economic anger to an all-out push by the common Iranian population to remove the current regime…in favor, apparently, of reactionary demands to return to a Constitutional Monarchy, led by the exiled heir to the Pahlavi throne.

The potential impact of a complete refutation of theological governance by one of the largest Muslim nations in the world by population is almost immeasurable. This is EXACTLY what Reza Pahlavi II is trying to do.

The ruling dynasty of Iran in 1979 was the Pahlavi Dynasty, headed by Shah Muhammad Reza. Much has been written about the Shah, and how he was a corrupt, vapid and brutal dictator, with savage secret police. The problem? Those claims are – without exception – the whole-cloth inventions of the current regime, and a hostile Western media establishment.

The Shah of Iran was the head of a functional Constitutional Monarchy, one that actually functioned as the concept is intended. He continually went out of his way to do everything he could to modernize and improve the condition of the Iranian people. The Ayatollah Khomeini, himself, had his death sentence commuted by the Shah…and repaid him by doing everything he could to undermine and unseat the Shah, proving that no good deed goes unpunished. This is especially ironic, given that the main driver of Khomeini’s commutation and exile was the head of the Shah’s SAVAK secret police.

The Shah was a progressive at a level that should make modern Liberal-Progressives blush with embarrassment. The Shah’s “White Revolution” not only enacted land reform, but also emancipated and empowered Iranian women, while trying to modernize the nation. The reason for the widespread anger at the Shah in 1979 had nothing to do with SAVAK, and everything to do with KGB-developed propaganda.

The endgame for Reza II is to apply what he has been working on for nearly five decades. Reza Pahlavi II has maintained a singular focus on his plan to transition the country out of its totalitarian-generated morass. It is for this reason that the protesters in Iran are chanting, “Long Live the Shah!”

B. FROM SHAH TO AYATOLLAH

Iran fundamentally changed in 1979. A combination of radical Islamists and Communists, both supported by the Soviet KGB, forced the then-Shah – Muhammad Reza Pahlavi, into exile. The Shah was terminally ill with cancer at the time, and without a strong statement of support from then-US President Jimmy Carter, the Shah decided that he did not want the blood of his people on his and his family’s hands, even though the Imperial Armed Forces were more than capable of suppressing the rioters.

As a result, the Islamic government of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini came to power. Almost immediately, they facilitated the 1979 seizure of the United States embassy in the capital of Tehran, which remains closed to this day. The weakness Khomeini and his radical theocrats imposed on Iran by gutting the Imperial Armed Forces in a Stalin-scale purge, encouraged Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to invade and attempt to seize major Iranian oil infrastructures at the northern end of the Persian Gulf.

This initiated the eight-year bloodbath of the Iran-Iraq War. It is a testament to the warfighting ability of the Imperial Iranian Armed Forces that they were as effective as they were, despite the purges.

During the war, the Islamic regime ramped up their oppression of the Iranian people, even as it rammed children as young as 12 into battle against Iraqi machine guns, artillery and poison gas. As the war with Saddam Hussein came to an end, rather than working to rebuild the highly developed technical and manufacturing infrastructure they inherited from the Shah’s government, the mullahs in charge of the country functionally looted the industrial and manufacturing sectors more efficiently than any Third World tin-pot dictator ever could.

The result is that by 2025, Iran has been reduced to the level of an artisan/craft economy – exactly the sector of the bazaari’s whose businesses were rendered moot by the currency collapse. Iran has precisely two sectors left that can be considered “high tech”: the oil industry, and a low-tier defense sector.

The oil industry is not as much of an economic underpinning as it was previously, both due to sanctions on Iranian exports, and on the low price of crude, now hovering around $60 per barrel. There are additional major questions concerning Iran’s oil production infrastructure. In combination, this has rendered Iran’s potential oil wealth a moot point.

The overall industrial picture as presented by the regime is deceptively rosy. While there appears to be a robust manufacturing sector, including steel and automotive production, the vast majority of those products are not being exported for foreign currency intake, but for internal use.

The defense industry is stunted, despite breathless claims of its viability. Iranian fixed and rotary aircraft are low-quality reproductions of Imperial-era designs, while their land systems, like tanks, are also of very poor quality, copying already poorly designed and built Chinese systems. Similarly, Iran’s capacity to build any naval craft above the level of “Boghammer”-style armed speedboats is laughable, no matter how dangerous they might be. The one defense export Iran has is its combat drones.

While producing a wide array of combat drones, like the Shahed 129 (similar to the Predator)  long-endurance platform and the larger Shahed 149, plus the widely used delta-wings like the Shahed 136/131, these drones have significant military limitations.

Like most drones, these are only truly effective against forces lacking coherent air defense strategies. Even the Russians – desperate for weapons for its war in Ukraine, had to “modify” Iranian drones before they could be deployed in combat.

Likewise, the general industrial sector has stagnated since 1979, with many formerly stable companies being driven to bankruptcy due to nationalization and endemic central planning mismanagement by the regime. Coupled with a lack of foreign currency reserves, this has significantly limited the import of consumer products.

But these are just incidentals, as shocking as they are, because there is one overriding disaster that the incompetent regime in Tehran has stumbled into:

Water.

C. THE EXISTENTIALLY-BREAKING CONSTANT – NO POTABLE WATER

Water is one of those existential things that people generally do not think about – until it runs out. Without water, you have no crops, almost no electrical power at scale…and nothing to drink. The average human can last about three days without water before they are unable to function.

The roots of Iran’s water disaster ties directly back to the aftermath of their seizure of power in 1979. The mullah-led government, in the throes of a massive war with Iraq, launched a massive program of building dams wherever geography would allow one to go in, with no thought given to the impact on the water supply, because the corruption returns were too great to ignore.

Naturally, because the dams damaged natural flow and retention systems, the government massively pumped in artesian aquifers to keep the water supplies flowing. Unsurprisingly, this caused an eventual crash in the artesian systems themselves.

The conditions have deteriorated to the point that the regime was seriously considering relocating the capital out of Tehran before the current unrest, because their incompetence is continuing to rapidly depopulate the countryside, forcing rural populations to relocate to cities.

The regime has been trying to implement a large-scale desalination program to compensate. The program lacked any clear idea of the logistics involved…and those corruption returns, again, are – or were – highly attractive. The regime is strangling its highly profitable golden goose…because, simply put, they are so corrupt, they are incapable of making a right turn, not even to save themselves.

The broader implications of the regime’s corruption-driven failure in its water policy are a nightmare of inconceivable proportions waiting to happen. Iran has a population of about 92 million people. The possibility of massive displacement movements driven by thirst is very real and threatens to completely destabilize the entire region in ways not seen in living memory.

For outsiders, this is a highly dangerous situation, as it will completely up-end markets and investments, long before we factor in the raw security threats to personal and national safety. In the wider immediate, this situation directly threatens the viability of the Strait of Hormuz as a transit point for oil. In the broader scope, the potential closure of the Strait directly threatens the economies of the rest of the world.

This is not hyperbole. Despite the recent events in Venezuela, the South American state cannot make up the difference of the loss of that oil flow through the straits, despite its proven reserves, because a similar level of corruption and incompetence has left Venezuela with an oil infrastructure that is even more dilapidated than Iran’s.

The few overland pipelines running out of the Persian Gulf region cannot function as a viable bypass either due to a lack of volume and a lack of security, with a resurgent Islamic State terror group.

Russia is still bogged down in Ukraine, so it is in no position to act effectively, as the on-going U.S. seizure of several of their “ghost fleet” tankers has shown. Likewise, Communist China cannot fill the oil gap – if they can’t get to the oil, it doesn’t matter how many commercial tanker ships they have…which may well be why the Communist state is experimenting with arming its merchant vessels.

PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS

Right now, Donald Trump is riding high (geopolitically) as he nears his first full year in office. With an improving economy, serious movement on dealing with illegal migrants, and the recent wins against Venezuela and Russia (in terms of the seizures of the ghost fleet tankers), Trump has made some very definitive and provocative statements in support of the Iranian Street

The danger with these statements by Trump is that he tends to make provocative statements as a strategic or tactical bluff, while refraining from any practical measures – in this case, that means even limited military action, in the form of airstrikes. Here, however, that strategy could backfire massively.

If Trump, after making strong and definitive statements of support, fails to follow through on those statements, he would face the same disastrous position as George H. W. Bush in the second quarter of 1991,when Bush implied that the US would support the Iraqi people if they rose up against Saddam Hussein. Although he never explicitly promised support, he did imply it.

His failure to provide support when the uprisings did happen, while not the only reason for the defeat of his reelection bid the following year (another failed promise, “read my lips, no new taxes,” being the main reason), DID play a role in cementing his “untrustworthy” branding. In Iran, however, Trump has pointedly told the Iranian people “help is on the way.”

This is placing Trump’s credibility directly on the line. Failure to provide direct, meaningful support to the protestors before the end of January will mean both the collapse of resistance but will also critically damage Trump’s aura with those anchoring their support of the GOP in the 2026 midterms to his credibility.

ED. NOTE: It will also damage the credibility of any future U.S. administration that might promise hope to the next round of dissenters (should they still “need” it).

Conversely, actually providing support brings the very real risk of “mission creep”, with implications of a massive “boots on the ground” requirement, as well as managing the geopolitical fallout on his own.

The phrase “help is on the way” is unambiguous in a way Bush’s “take matters into your own hands” was not. Trump has made a promise, not offered encouragement. The Iranian protesters, risking everything in 200+ cities, have heard that promise. So has the regime, which will use any American support – or lack thereof – to justify its response. And so has the rest of the world, from allies wondering if American commitments mean anything, to adversaries calculating whether this is the moment American resolve finally breaks.

The strategic calculus is brutal: limited support (intelligence sharing, sanctions enforcement, cyber operations) may prove insufficient to tip the balance, leaving protesters exposed to massacre while still giving the regime propaganda ammunition about American interference.

But substantial support – no-fly zones, arms shipments, direct strikes on IRGC facilities – risks the very mission creep that destroyed American credibility in Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan (reports indicate perhaps Israel is already doing some of this). Either path carries enormous risks; the only certainty is that doing nothing after saying “help is on the way” would be catastrophic.

The question becomes: what does meaningful support look like without repeating Iraq’s mistakes? Options range from minimal to maximal involvement:

At the low end, it means enhanced sanctions (which he’s appears to be already doing) targeting regime leadership personally, freezing their offshore accounts, providing encrypted communication tools beyond Starlink, intelligence sharing with opposition forces about regime troop movements. These carry minimal risk but may prove insufficient.

Mid-range options include establishing no-fly zones to prevent helicopter gunship attacks on protesters (the same tactic that crushed the 1991 Iraqi uprising), targeted airstrikes on IRGC command facilities, direct arms shipments to organized resistance forces, and formal diplomatic recognition of a Pahlavi transitional government. These would materially aid the uprising but risk escalation.

Maximum involvement would mean direct military intervention to decapitate the regime – a path that leads inevitably to occupation, nation-building, and all the disaster traps that implies. The stakes extend far beyond Trump’s political fortunes.

A successful Iranian revolution ending theocratic rule would fundamentally reshape Middle Eastern geopolitics. It would eliminate the primary state sponsor of Hezbollah, Hamas, and most of the various Shia militias destabilizing Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq. It could enable a genuine Arab Israeli normalization beyond the Abraham Accords. Most critically, a restored constitutional monarchy with Pahlavi’s detailed transition plans could begin addressing the water crisis before it triggers the displacement of tens of millions of people.

Conversely, a failed uprising followed by regime survival would entrench the mullahs for another generation, embolden authoritarian regimes globally, and accelerate the water catastrophe. Worse still, American abandonment of Iranian protesters after explicit promises would validate every adversary’s claim that American commitments are worthless – a message that would resonate from Taipei to Kyiv to Jerusalem.

The problem is that the protesters, after Trump’s statements, may be expecting maximal support, while Trump’s political constraints and strategic caution suggests the minimal involvement route.  That gap between expectation and delivery is where credibility dies. There are few good options. While that lack is not Trump’s fault, he has inherited the situation, and now has to deal with it, because his statements of support are now water under the bridge.

ED. NOTE: As of the completion of this report on the morning of Friday, January 16, 2026, outside of tariff announcements by the President against nations that do business with Iran, the U.S. administration has not followed up on Trump’s claim, “help is on the way.”

Bellwether Deepdive 2025: The Death of John Locke – How the Left is Destroying British Tradition, From Sea to Shining Sea

STAFF

“Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has a right to, but himself.” – John Locke

“We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community.” – Valerie Jarrett

Our Bellwether storyline of 2025 is the dramatic erosion of individual liberty standards in three nations that were early leaders in the project that gave rise to those standards, “liberalism.” The first nation, England, may be ahead of the second nation, Canada, in killing that individual liberty spirit, but the third nation, America, is not far behind.

Last month, we suggested our top story of the year would be the first year of the second term of President Donald Trump. However, that story is only part of the much-larger story, the death of John Locke’s civilization and the emergence of a new one (or new ones).

In America, buttressed as it is through vast swathes of its territory populated by legally armed American citizens, John Locke is making a comeback in many ways, even if just it’s just in slowing down the bleeding.

In other ways, however, he’s all-but died already, especially (but not exclusively) behind enemy territory, Democrat-ruled lands.

We will highlight some of the bellwether stories within each nation’s own John Locke narrative. We will begin our analysis with a brief explanation of why we chose John Locke to be the bellwether of the larger story this year’s bellwether is framed within.

A. JOHN LOCKE’S BODY

John Locke was a 17th Century philosopher who created the underlying presupposition regarding the nature of valuing in governance that has created the civilizations featured in this report, Britain, Canada, and America. That underlying presupposition is that a society cannot progress if it cannot pursue truth. It cannot pursue truth if it does not respect the rights of others to be wrong.

The way we Americans would word it is this: Your rights end where your actions harm others. This is not only the standard individuals should live by, but it’s also the standard that will allow truth to flourish, and thus people to flourish, as a result. But where truth is oppressed in the name of protecting the weak from wrong thoughts, truth dies, followed by flourishing.

While Locke was a Christian, he was also an Empiricist, meaning he believed meaning was mostly derived from the perception of the material. He advocated the notion that the human mind was a blank slate, a tabula rasa.

He got to God through material understanding, saying, “We are capable of knowing certainly that there is a God. Though God has given us no innate ideas of himself; though he has stamped no original characters on our minds, wherein we may read his being; yet having furnished us with those faculties our minds are endowed with, he hath not left himself without witness: since we have sense, perception, and reason, and cannot want a clear proof of him, as long as we carry ourselves about us.”

The enemy attacking John Locke was born from his “liberalism,” though some “classic liberals” still claim a liberal center can hold. As of now, that does NOT appear to be case anymore for the liberal project. Perhaps it has hit that Kantean dialectical wall, where reasons pushes through into nonsense, which is what many claim liberalism ultimately did through “wokeness,” the alleged natural outcome of liberalism.

From Locke, for instance, we get the notion of “progress” as a necessary component of “human flourishing,” a notion the “Woke” still rely on today. From Locke, though, we get the American justification for these same restrictions on government power, though we add the assumption of a creator as the source for the recognition of “rights” of individuals. Still, that assumption of a creator is based on “reason” (or at least the mere capacity for reason), it does not come from a revelatory source.

This puts the liberal project in danger, but need we use the Lockean justification for an “individual liberty” respecting government or can we provide another justification for that claim? We believe we can provide an alternative justification, but one which is limited to communities that themselves are not compelled to use coercion as a means of socio-cultural or political influence.

This justification does not rest on anything but the pragmatic realization by such communities that a government bounded by individual liberty allows all participating communities opportunities to sustainably flourish on their own unique terms.

A government bounded by individual liberty allows member communities the space to freely practice their own standards and beliefs while also benefiting from the enriched value exchange potential between like-minded “neighbors,” other communities with their own standards and beliefs.

“Americanism” can be a pragmatic bridging standard between communities not willing to bear the sword in the name of their “god.”

This last year delivered serious blows to the corpse of John Locke. One hopes what rises has the spirit of individual liberty without the need for “justification” beyond an agreed standard between peaceful communities.

It is not the state’s role to settle such matters, it is merely the state’s sole justification for power, the fruit of a state that limits its power in recognition of individual liberty.

B. SOVIET UK

Here is the UK’s descent into madness told through the briefs we created through 2025. They are listed not in chronological order but in our editorial view of their importance and relation to one another. This format will be used for Canada and the U.S. as well:

  1. JANUARY 2025 – UK CONTINUES DESCENT INTO LEFTIST AUTHORITARIAN MADNESS – The Labour Party is making every effort it can to destroy what’s left of Britain, with three actions showcasing the further devolution of the country towards authoritarianism.

Kier Starmer went to Ukraine to sign a “100-year deal,” meaning he envisions a one-party state if he feels he can make such guarantees. That one-party state will move closer to the Chinese Social Credit Score model with the start of its authoritarian Digital ID program, which it hopes will make all of its citizens, especially the natives, trackable. The coup-de-gras might be the Labour Party’s decision to not open an inquiry on child rape gangs that have been forming in Pakistani “communities.”

  1. NOVEMBER 2025 – UK THINKS WE’RE STILL A COLONY? – Ofcom, the United Kingdom’s communications regulator has recently declared that Americans are not protected from UK prosecution for violating their soviet-styled speech laws when their social media posts reach their citizens. So far, talk of bills being written to deal with this foreign intrusion on American sovereignty is all that’s been seen in response to this assertion by the UK. They do this while they push forward with Online censorship, Digital ID, and now mass arrests of UK protesters.
  2. 3. SEPTEMBER 2025 – AFTER MASSIVE “UNITE THE KINGDOM” RALLY, STARMER’S RESPONSE IS TO CALL THE RALLY RACIST – Prime Minister Keir Starmer is relying on the old rules of engagement when dealing with resistance to his anti-British planvasion plans. This time, in response to a half a million plus rallying in support of the British nation and national identity, Starmer chose to spread misinformation and lies about the rally.

He declared, “People have a right to peaceful protest. It is core to our country’s values. But we will not stand for assaults on police officers doing their job or for people feeling intimidated on our streets because of their background or the color of their skin. Britain is a nation proudly built on tolerance, diversity, and respect. Our flag represents our diverse country, and we will never surrender it to those that use it as a symbol of violence, fear, and division.”

  1. JULY 2025 – UK LABOUR TO CHANGE VOTING LAWS TO MAKE CHEATING EASIER– The anti-UK government currently controlling the UK, Labour, has announced plans to rig the next election by lowering the voting age to 16 so they can get more freshly indoctrinated children to vote for their own demise. They also promise to “soften” voter ID laws to assure illegal alien invaders of the country can keep the anti-UK party in power.
  2. JUNE 2025 – BRITAIN PASSES BILL THAT LEGALIZES EUTHANASIA – The Terminally Ill Adults bill passed the UK parliament by a narrow 314-291 vote. The bill will allow mentally competent adults with 6 months or less to live to choose to be euthanized by medical staff. The concern is that the bill will start off with limited candidates for euthanasia, but keep expanding like Canada’s law has, which now even allows the mentally ill to “choose” death.
  3. APRIL 2025 – UK’S WOKE POLICIES LEADING TO “MISINFORMATION,” GOVERNMENT UNWITTINGLY ADMITS – The United Kingdom’s Parliamentary Home Affairs Committee issued a report that cited the policy of concealing the ethnicity of a suspect led to race riots. Those race riots happened after “false claims” spread online that an illegal immigrant stabbed three children to death. These “rumors” spread because the police failed to offer an identification to begin with.

ED.NOTE: The non-illegal was the son of illegal immigrants. Axel Rudakubana, 18, was the “British teen” the media reported on. His parents are Rwandan “immigrants.” He was later sentenced to 52 years minimum in prison, where he is currently enjoying reading Harry Potter books.

On December 18, 2026, Luke Yarwood was sentenced to 18 months in jail for tweeting in response to the Southport stabbings, which happened in 2024. His posts were seen a total of 33 times. They called for “slaughter in the streets” and encouraged people to “head for the hotels housing them and burn them to the ground.”

C. CANADA

Canada’s descent into anti-liberty values can be seen in its doubling down on the “woke ideology” and its continued expansion of “euthanasia” as a means of culling from the social the unproductive and disruptive.

Here is the bellwether of their reality told in briefs from 2025:

  1. FEBRUARY 2025 – CANADA’S UNELECTED NEW PRIME MINISTER COMES OUT HARD AGAINST TRUMP, AMERICA – Now former PM Justin Trudeau’s party, the Liberal Party, has selected their new leader, and thus Canada’s new unelected Prime Minister, Mark Carney. The new PM faces re-election by this October. He has a well-documented history of being “anti-Trump.” He came to power after Trudeau announced his resignation in the face of wilting polling numbers for his party.

He began his campaign by telling his supporters, “Canada will never become part of America in any way, shape, or form… Donald Trump, as we know, has put unjustified tariffs on what we build, on what we sell, on how we make a living. He’s attacking Canadian workers, families, and businesses. We cannot let him succeed. And we won’t.” He later demanded, “American, SHOW US RESPECT.”

His bellicose anti-American rhetoric was presaged by a high-ranking member of his party, Chrystia Freeland, who was also a Liberal Party Leader candidate. She stated in her leadership campaign, “The U.S. is turning predator and so what Canada needs to do is work closely with our democratic allies, our military allies. I would start with our Nordic Partners, specifically Denmark, which is also being threatened, and our European NATO allies. I would be sure that France and Britain were there, who possess nuclear weapons.” Read full report

  1. MAY 2025 – CANADA DOUBLES DOWN ON WOKE AS ALBERTA CONSIDERS SEPARATION – Canada has doubled down on its commitment to woke authoritarianism, re-electing a Liberal government led by woke globalist Mark Carney, who promises to mostly keep the same dystopian course Canada is already going down.

At one point the conservative, Pierre Poilievre, led the Labor Party by 20 points, then PM Justin Trudeau stepped aside, and Poilievre chose to run away from Trump and MACA, Make Canada Great Again. Carney’s party holds a minority plurality with 170 seats, 2 seats short of a majority.

As a response, the province of Alberta has introduced Bill 54, which would allow for a referendum on Albertan separatism in light of Canada’s doubling down on a far-left government that puts ideology over people, party over Albertan sovereignty, and well-being. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith stated “I believe in Alberta sovereignty within a united Canada. However, there is a citizen referenda process that if citizens want to put a question on a ballot and get enough of their fellow citizens to sign that petition, then those questions will be put forward. Again, I don’t want to prejudge what a question might be.”

  1. APRIL 2025 – SUICIDE IS BEING PUSHED ON AILING CANADIANS? – Dr. Ramona Coelho, a committee member on Ontario’s MAiD Death Review Committee, is accusing doctors of pushing patients aggressively towards suicide in increasingly questionable situations. She accused the institution itself of “rushing to death” through quick approvals of Canada’s euthanasia program, called MAiD (Medical Aid in Dying).

She said, “These cases highlight how vulnerable individuals, having lost the capacity to consent, may be coerced or unduly influenced to die – whether through financial abuse, caregiver burnout, or other pressures – reminding us that the stakes are high – life and death, no less.”

  1. OCTOBER 2025 – 90K PEOPLE EUTHANIZED BY CANADA SINCE “ASSISTED SUICIDE” BECAME LAW IN 2016 – So far, 90,000 people have taken advantage of Canada’s law, MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) which legalizes assisted suicide. In 2024, there were 16,500 MAID suicides, which accounted for 5% of total deaths that year.

Canada’s average wait time to see a specialist is now at 27.7 weeks, an all-time high, and this fact alone has led to documented suicides, including from a Winnipeg woman who wrote just before her MAID suicide, “I could have had more time if I had more help.”

  1. NOVEMBER 2025 – CANADA WANTS MOLOCH TO HAVE A DOCTOR’S LICENSE – Canada is now moving to add children to the growing list of people who can be “eligible” for “medically assisted in dying” suicide (MAID). So far, being poor, being disabled, being chronically ill, being depressed, suffering for autism, suffering from PTSD (even if you’re a veteran) qualifies you for MAID. Now, euthanasia advocates are moving their demands from MAID for the ADULT TERMINALLY ILL ONLY to “let’s not let age be a limit.”

D. AMERICA

In America, we have Trump’s MAGA turning a blind eye while Trump does decidedly un-American things, while the DNC’s base increasingly supports violence as a means of political persuasion. The briefs of 2025 will follow first with the DNC, then with President Trump. The briefs start off with the true bellwether of the DNC Progmerica, Virginia’s Attorney General Jay Jones, who easily won the election despite being caught wanting to MURDER his political opponent and his family:

  1. OCTOBER 2025 – VA AG WANTS TO MURDER GOP CHILDREN, DEMOCRATS CONTINUE TO SUPPORT HIM – Virginia’s current Attorney General, Democrat Jay Jones had private text messages exposed that revealed his desire to kill his GOP opponent. He claimed that if he had two bullets, his GOP opponent, and two of the evilest people in human history, he’d use both bullets to kill his opponent. He later expressed desire to kill the opponent’s children.

Since his text messages were revealed, it’s also been exposed he promoted killing cops as a way to change their racist behavior. Yet despite all that, the Democratic Party, including their candidate for Governor, continue to support Jones. No top national Democrat has called on him to quit the race. He remains endorsed by all the major gun control groups and top members of the Virginia General Assembly.

ED.NOTE: He went on to win the election. Less than half of VA voters thought his text were disqualifying. John Locke’s spirit was not in Virginia that night.

  1. JULY 2025 – DNC CRIMINAL MEDIA, POLITICIANS, PUSH TO INCITE, ENABLE VIOLENCE AGAINST ICE AGENTS – The Democrat Party is overtly becoming the party of insurrection, inciting violence against Americans. Michigan Democrats are pushing for a law that would make it illegal for ICE agents to wear masks.

The criminal media is doing its part, pushing lies intended to incite violence against ICE agents. Daily Kos’ headline, “ICE is paying big bucks to come back and terrorize immigrants,” might as well be an order to its insurrectionist base to kill the fascist. Crooks and Liar’s headline, “Tom Homan Shifts ICE Detention Goal Posts, As Fascists Do,” puts an assassination target directly on the border czar himself. against the republic.

  1. SEPTEMBER 2025 – CALIFORNIA LAW WOULD UNMASK ICE; DHS TELLS THEM TO POUND SAND – The insurrectionist state of California passed legislation intended to blunt efforts by the Trump administration to remove illegal aliens from their lands. One bill, signed into law by Gavin Newsom (D-CA), would make it illegal for Federal ICE Agents to wear masks during their operations. The move is intended to help terrorists find the agents at their homes and hurt them and their families.
  2. NOVEMBER 2025 – FOREIGNERS GAVE THE DNC NGOS OVER $2 BILLION – In recent years, more than $2 billion has been sent to DNC-aligned far-left anti-Americanist groups, many with ties to Antifa affiliations, with no checks by regulators. A report from Americans for Public Trust (APT) has exposed the foreign money pipeline driving anti-American hate through DNC-affiliated groups.
  3. NOVEMBER 2025 – DEMOCRATS TELL SOLDIERS TO DISOBEY TRUMP’S ORDERS – Senator Mark Kelly (R-AZ) led 5 Democrat U.S. legislators in a viral video campaign appealing to the military to “refuse illegal orders.” Now, Kelly could face a military recall and court martial, while all six face potential treason charges, The video campaign was called “Don’t Give Up the Ship.” One legislator, Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), when pressed, could not identify any specific “illegal orders.”

President Trump’s suggestion that treason means hanging triggered House Democrats to call the Capital Police for reasons not given. Since the viral video, more Democrat legislators have come out in support of the open call for military members and intelligence officials to commit, in essence, treason.

  1. NOVEMBER 2025 – TRUMP ADMIN MOVING ONTO MILITARY BASES IN WAKE OF RISING PROGMERICAN THREATS – U.S. officials are increasingly moving themselves and their families onto military bases in response to rising threats from within that are connected to the usual Progmerican, DNC blue shirts threats. In addition to the DNC threats, the officials are also facing an “ongoing foreign threat.”

In response to this ratcheting up of threats, the Trump administration is building “a quick reactionary force” in every state through the National Guard to deal with the rising DNC blue-shirts threats. Some of the officials include Marco Rubio.

  1. SEPTEMBER 2025 – TRUMP LOOKS TO RESTORE GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA BAN LIFTED UNDER OBAMA, TO BE CALLED THE “CHARLIE KIRK ACT” – In what would be another blow to the DNC’s narrative control machine, President Trump has endorsed the plan to reactive the Smith-Mundt act. This act prevented the U.S. government from creating or paying for propaganda aimed at U.S. citizens. The act was rescinded in Section 1078 of the National Defense Authorization Act in 2013 under President Obama. The act will be called the Charlie Kirk Act.

ED.NOTE: This promise has yet to be fulfilled and appears largely forgotten.

  1. MAY 2025 – PALANTIR GIVEN KEYS TO SPY ON AMERICANS – The Trump administration has handed over American personal data to the data management company Palantir, a company headed by Peter Theil, who was also a major early supporter of Vice President JD Vance. The administration’s efforts to create a central database for multiple departments to share seem incongruous with his anti-Deep State public stance.

There is unease amongst Trump’s base about the creation of a tool the Deep State has always wanted to have, central monitoring of Americans’ personal daily data. Right now, Palantir will be (or allegedly has already been) using this tool to help round up illegal aliens, and it is in this guise that the administration may hope to convince his base to go along with such an anti-MAGA action.

  1. AUGUST 2025 – TRUMP DEFENDS DECISION TO ALLOW 600K CHINESE STUDENTS TO COME TO AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES – In a move that seems to be an absolute reversal of his previous policies, President Trump has announced plans to allow 600,000 Chinese students to go to American universities, though they can only stay for 4 years. Trump defended the decision, claiming, “We’re getting along very well with China…it’s very insulting to say ‘students can’t come here.’” The White House also clarified this is not allowing MORE students in than were already being allowed, it’s simply not decreasing in numbers from the previous administration.

He offered more defense, further claiming, “Because they’ll go out and start building schools … but I like that [China’s] students come here. I like that other countries’ students come here. And you know what would happen if they didn’t? Our college system would go to hell, very quickly. … And it wouldn’t be the top colleges; it would be colleges that struggle on the bottom. …

And I told this to President Xi: That we’re honored to have their students here. Now with that, we check, and we’re careful, and we see who’s there … But we have a tremendous college system, the best in the world. Nobody even close – that’s why China sends them here. You can call it an industry if you want … I’m honored to have the students from China come here.”

  1. AUGUST 2025 – IS NATIONALIZING INTEL THE CONSERVATIVE THING TO DO? – Efforts by Donald Trump to de facto nationalize a part of the chipmaking company Intel are being met by stiff resistance and confusion from his conservative base. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) said of Trump’s plan to purchase 10% of the company, “If socialism is government owning the means of production, wouldn’t the government owning part of Intel be a step toward socialism? Terrible idea.”

SUMMARY

In the UK, a statement of faith in a public street could get you plaudits or prison, depending on whether your god was Christian or any other god. In the UK, a statement of pride in the English race will get you imprisoned, while a statement of pride in any “non-white” race will get you plaudits.

Now, their laws reflect the woke ideology. Social justice has replaced individual justice. The case is decided by the party’s social class; if it’s English, or even just culturally British, not only is it not protected, but defending it publicly is likely committing a felony.

In some ways Canada is ahead of the UK, but in other ways the UK is ahead of Canada. When it comes to free thought, the UK is now rocketing past Canada as far as assaulting it. Under Starmer, jury courts are now suspended for criminal charges threatening less than 3 years prison time. This unilateral decision alone should show the British that a constitution might be better than common law after all, for, in principle, the common law standards of the British would never allow such moves, not even from the King. Ask Charles I about overstepping his authority, or James II.

AP’s coverage of the news reflects its ties to the globalist left regime. It sanitizes the news with the sales pitch Labour itself is using. Its headline said, “UK government plans to scrap some jury trials in an attempt to clear a court backlog.”

While the UK is just pushing through Euthanasia bills, Canada reveals its assault on the principles of individual liberty by pushing euthanasia on an increasingly broad swathe of people, which soon will include children and already includes the disabled and the depressed.

In Canada, the wait list to see a doctor is already leading some to choose euthanasia instead.

The commodification of the soul is even more advanced in Canada than it is in the UK, though the UK most likely is about to surpass them should their power remain as consolidated as it currently is (despite the government’s historic unpopularity).

In all three nations we see the national press, the established press, the corporate press in each country acting as content marketers for the far-left party either in power or seeking to return to power. The press is not the fourth estate, as it would emerge first in England and then in America (and then, through most Western countries), it is the PARTY ESTATE.

In America, the press seems to push knowing lies intended to get Americans harmed or killed, all in service of the party, the DNC. The party itself is more than willing to incite violence against Americans and will openly continue to endorse major candidates for major offices even AFTER they are exposed as wanting to murder their political opponent’s family.

They are social justice warriors, meaning they’re willing to destroy things to change the values in America from individual justice to social justice. While this anti-American “justice” hasn’t fully taken over in American courts, it’s certainly increasingly encroaching on it.

So long as Democrats rule, it will continue to encroach until it becomes the new Rule of Law in a land that used to be America, but is now Progmerica, the nation that grew within America as a parasite then shed her dead body when the beast could emerge on its own.

Social Justice is justice based on your social identity, not American Rule of Law. Its standards are on their face unconstitutional whenever they are forced on Americans, be it by government or corporations. The case is not judged impartially, according to the facts, and according to the same legal standards that are applied to everyone else; the case is judged by the standing of your social identity.

Yet even the only credible opposition to the DNC, MAGA, is led by a man who appears to associate greatness with wealth more than he does individual liberty. Trump is to America what Canada once was to America, a close facsimile, but lacking a fundamental Americanist bulwark (as witnessed by how rapidly Canada lost its gun rights once the far left decided it was time to disarm the opposition).

Thus, this year, John Locke has nearly died in the UK, is all but dead in Canada, and is on his last legs in America.

First They Came for the Potheads – The Hemp Nuke in the CR

By Paul Gordon Collier, Editor

“In effect, this is a total, all out, complete ban on hemp products in the United States.” – Jonathan Miller, U.S. Hemp Roundtable’s general counsel

“There’s a lot of the small retailers, small businesses and farmers that are relying on hemp sales to survive.” – Michael Gorenstein, CEO of Cronos Group

“This will shut everything down. There’s just no way to get to that level.” — Matt Mitchell, owner of Hemp and Barrel.

“Our hope is that within the next year, sensible legislation can be agreed upon and enacted to protect this type of product for all our customers.” — Bryan Farrell, Big Grove spokesperson

INTRODUCTION

On November 12, 2025, the U.S. government shutdown ended after President Donald Trump signed what’s called a CR, a Continuing Resolution that keeps the government open for less than a year. It was the longest government shutdown in the history of the United States. The pressure to reopen the government was rising among both the left and the right (and probably helped the Democrats in the 2025 election).

A CR is optimally a mere continuation of the budget policies of the previous budget, but it has also been used to slip difficult legislation through. This CR had two provisions that fundamentally changed the previous budget’s policies, a provision allowing federal employees to sue if they were spied on by Jack Smith through Operation Arctic Frost and a provision that effectively nukes the consumable CBD industry.

President Donald Trump rose to power with a promise he would end the old political world order and usher in a government more responsive to the American people and more transparent. This government would be on the side of American global excellence that benefits Americans at home.

MIA was working on a report on how Donald Trump represents not a restoration of the American republic, but a creation of a pseudo-American oligarchy with his family positioned to be one of the inside families for generations to come. But then they killed Charlie Kirk….

After the Charlie Kirk assassination, we decided then was not the time to scrutinize what is, effectively, the only voice of REAL POWER in politics for Americans today, Donald Trump.

The President’s willingness to sign a bill that snuck in an industry-crippling provision violates American standards for due process, transparency, and any notion that the government is OF the people. The report is back on. Expect to see a report on President Trump as an ally but not a brother in our Americanism in the first half of 2026 (with the scheduled February 4th issue being the earliest release).

A multi-billion-dollar industry with 300,000 plus people deriving a living from that industry was set on fire in the blink of an eye using all the coercive double-speak standards of a fully empowered swamp.

This is the latest in a growing list of troubling actions by this administration that leads this writer to suspect Donald J Trump may be our most powerful ally against the Progmerican nation within us, but he either doesn’t fully understand the reality of power or he never had any intention of fully restoring and fulfilling the American promise of individual stewardship for all.

Whatever you feel about the growing hemp industry, whatever you feel about the consumption of these new hemp products, Donald Trump and the Republicans used Progmerican tactics to serve other special interests (mainly, the alcohol, medical, and enforcement industries) with no consideration for the reality of power as felt at the street level by their own constituents, the American citizens.

This report will show you how special interest lobbies used an emergency to pass legislation that perpetuates anti-American legislative standards we’ve been suffering under for decades now. The report will show you the legislation that created the industry, how this provision kills that legislation, the potential harms this provision will cause, and how the industry has responded.

I will also make the case for why you should care about this even if you support the outright ban of these hemp products (beyond what you hopefully see already; that it perpetuates coercive legislation-making).

A. HOW IT WAS DONE

Here is the timeline of events leading up to the passage of the hemp provision in the November 2025 CR.

In December of 2018 that year’s Farm Bill passed. It included a provision that effectively legalized a wide variety of new hemp products. From that emerged a new THC/CBD/DELTA market.

By 2023, the U.S. hemp industry reached a $28 billion cap. Texas passed a bill banning most of these products, but the Governor vetoed the bill.

In March of 2025, Kentucky passed legislation capping hemp-derived THC beverages at 5 milligrams.

On July 10, 2025, Mitch McConnell (R-KY) introduced legislation to ban intoxicating hemp products, but it failed to gain traction.

On September 23, 2025, Hemp farmers asked McConnell for a meeting, citing a willingness to agree to some new regulations, some of which they’ve already been calling on. McConnell declined the meeting.

McConnell decided to introduce his ban into the budget bill, which was met with a partisan pushback from Republicans, including James Comer.

On October 1, 2025, the government shutdown began.

On the weekend of November 8-9, a settlement was reached. Afterwards. Mitch McConnell inserted his hemp provision into the new CR, along with endorsements from 39 state AGS. They argue state laws are not enough to address the “intoxicating products.”

On November 10, the Senate debated and voted on the CR. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) filed an amendment to strike down the McConnell poison pill, but that was struck down, with 22 Democrats and 2 Republicans (including Paul) being the only ones to support the amendment.

Debate for the provision itself lasted no more than 20 minutes between 8:00am and 8:20am.

On November 11, 2025, the House passes the CR by a vote of 222-209, mostly along party lines (with the GOP voting for it). The hemp provision debate lasted no more than 10 minutes, from 2:30pm to 2:40pm.

The total debate time for a provision that IMMEDIATELY affects the lives of 300,000 Americans and millions more Americans deriving medical therapeutic use for these products was no more than 30 MINUTES TOTAL.

President Trump, knowing full well the nature of the poison pill within the CR, signed the bill November 12. One can reasonably argue Trump was choosing between two hard decisions, but this writer suspects this was hardly a tough decision for him at all, one that might pay off for him down the road in the form of RINO favor at a critical time.

This was the reflection of Trump’s pragmatism and with his association of wealth with Great America, as opposed to upholding the principles of a government OF the people, FOR the people, BY the people, not one of special interests making life or death decisions that affect millions mostly based on their own profit-driven market needs. This is not the free market; this is a controlled economy.

It was also a reflection of the dangers of “market conservatism” to Americanism (which, again, is not a free market economy).

As for popularity, a poll from McLaughlin & Associates in October of 2025 showed 72% of Americans support the continued legalization of the hemp products McConnell’s GOP-supported poison pill just nuked.

B. THE 2018 FARM BILL

The 2018 Farm Bill that passed in December of that same year changed the definition of hemp to any cannabis plant or its derivatives containing no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. This created space for a whole host of alternative Delta-9s, Delta-8s, THC-As, TCH-Os, etc.

Hemp growers would have a new market.

Daniel Kruger, PhD, a research associate professor at the University at Buffalo, said of the bill that it “created this massive market for products like CBD and then delta-8 based on this definition. These are products that you can often get at smoke shops or at gas stations. You can order them online. They’re most popular in states that don’t have a legalized pathway to cannabis, so people are using them as a workaround.”

Since that bill’s passage, a new $28 billion industry has emerged, providing direct employment to 300,000 people, and indirectly commercially benefiting hundreds of thousands of businesses that support the industry.

C. THE NEW REGULATIONS

Staten Island Attorney General Joshua Bauchner told the publication Staten Islander that the hemp provision in the CR “supersedes the Farm Bill which, technically, is supposed to be renewed every five years, but does not go into effect until one year from passage, or November 2026, to permit further regulation, particularly at the state level… it completely changes what is legal.  The distinction between hemp and marijuana is a fiction without scientific basis.  In theory, hemp is not psychoactive and marijuana is. They both come from the same cannabis sativa plant.  However, the threshold for that determination varies significantly based on the product and the consumer.  The CR looks to a Total THC measure, rather than just Delta-9 THC.”

Healthline’s description of the provision outlines the essential points of the new regulation:

… The new definition states that hemp may contain no more than 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container. A “container” is defined as the “innermost wrapping, packaging or vessel in direct contact with a final hemp-derived cannabinoid product.”

Additionally, cannabinoids that are synthesized or manufactured outside of the plant will be banned. Delta-8 THC, for example, does naturally occur in cannabis, but in small quantities. In order to commercialize it, delta-8 THC producers utilize a form of chemical synthesis, during which it is converted from CBD.

One section of the bill that has drawn significant scrutiny is the provision banning cannabinoids with “similar effects” to THC. The vague language could give lawmakers wide latitude to regulate a broad range of compounds.

The FDA must issue clarifying guidance within 90 days, including a list of cannabinoids that fall under the “similar effects” clause.

This hastily written provision, whose sloppy language reflects that hastiness, was passed by the Republican Party primarily, under Donald Trump, with 30 total minutes of debate combined from both legislative chambers.

This writer has said it before and will say it again, America needs American parties. The Democrats are Progmericans, which are no Americans at all, and the Republicans seems to AINOS, Americans in name only (which is AT LEAST a lot less threatening than being anti-Americanist like the DNC).

Our only real political ally is the AINO party.

C. THE POTENTIAL DAMAGE DONE

We earlier referenced Staten Island Attorney General Joshua Bauchner’s interview with Staten Islander. In that same interview, the AG outlined one major problem the Farm Bill created that this provision exploited.

He told Staten Islander, “Congress created a viable and robust hemp industry through the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill.  Unfortunately, this created a fictional distinction between hemp and marijuana, both of which come from the same cannabis plant.”

He continued, “Rather than destroy the hemp industry (at the request of the liquor and marijuana industries) the better course would have been to create a safe and regulated market for all cannabis; intoxicating hemp, medicinal and adult-use marijuana, and everything in between.”

He concluded, “By fabricating two ‘types’ of cannabis, two industries — one legal (hemp) and one illegal (marijuana) at the federal level — multiple, distinct state regulatory programs, and enticing farmers, manufacturers, and retailers to participate, Congress created a wholesale mess and, in typical fashion, tried to fix that mess by covering it up with an even bigger mess – at the loss of jobs and livelihoods.”

At risks are the businesses, careers, and jobs of 300,000 Americans, and that’s just the direct hit. Many of these are family-owned businesses that have found a way to make a nice living providing a service they enjoy providing. Again, this was done with 30 minutes of combined total debate in both legislative chambers.

Paul Armentano, deputy director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), told Healthline “By seeking to recriminalize this market rather than regulate it, lawmakers chose to utilize a sledgehammer when they should have used a scalpel. Banning the hemp-derived products market will not decrease consumers’ demand for these products, nor will it increase consumers’ safety. Instead, it will deny many consumers who previously relied on these products, including those who did so for therapeutic purposes, from legally accessing them in the future.”

One such victim of the therapeutic user group was featured by CNN. They documented the case of a 14-year-old who has found that only CBD effectively keeps her crippling seizures at bay. The very CBDs she needs appear to be on the ban list.

The girl’s daughter, Lisa Smith, told CNN, “She just basically existed. She didn’t really live. And after our first dose of CBD, she was able to stay awake. She started to learn… But prior to that, there was just no hope for us.”

After 10 years of using the drug, Haley’s seizures are down from multiple times a day to two to four times a month. Her family told CNN they fear what they will do if they must face a world without that therapeutic aid.

D. THE INDUSTRY RESPONSE

Cannabis Business Times reflected the hemp industry response in its statement on the passage of the hemp provision:

The 2018 Farm Bill left loopholes that some have exploited, flooding the market with synthetic, intoxicating, and untested products masquerading as compliant hemp products. These products mislead consumers and threaten public trust, and we support banning unsafe, unregulated products.

But equally banning safe, science-backed CBD products that help vulnerable communities would result in nothing short of a public health crisis. It would shut down 95% of the hemp industry, destroy tens of thousands of jobs, and devastate American farmers. It would leave millions of Americans without access to safe, non-intoxicating wellness products they’ve come to rely on.

The proposed 0.4 milligram total THC container limit is not based on science. According to a recently published study by Dr. Ryan Vandrey of Johns Hopkins University, low oral doses of THC, up to 2.8mg, do not cause intoxication or impairment.

As the industry leader, we understand the need for regulation. But regulation must be rooted in science, facts, and action—not fear.

The industry itself had been seeking regulations, solid regulations that accounted for safety, for childhood access, and other issues. An industry that faces constant changing regulations has exploding expenses with each regulation change, so the industry has a self-serving interest in seeing STABLE safety regulations happen.

Coastal Green Wellness offers the industry this “Silver Lining:”

The most important takeaway for you as a consumer is the timeline. The language passed on November 12th, 2025, has a one-year implementation window.

This means nothing at the federal level changes for one full calendar year, starting on November 12th, 2025… This grace period gives the industry a crucial window to fight back…

The entire hemp industry is mobilizing. This new federal language is not viewed as a viable or sustainable solution; it is an act of prohibition that dismantles a multi-billion-dollar industry supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs and countless consumers.

SUMMARY

The title of the report is a little tongue in cheek, but it’s intended to make a point. Many on the right are silent about this passage, and many more seem to embrace it. Most of them seem to be buying the narrative that this is just about ending the fun for potheads. To a lesser extent, the “save the children” narrative is broken out to support the ban.

What they don’t realize is that this passage harms far more than “potheads,” and it further erodes American Rule of Law standards. It also hurts President Trump’s political power.

This writer has no doubt that the election win of Donald J Trump in 2024 has saved us from existential threats far beyond what we face with the Trump-led-GOP majority government, so take that caveat into account as we offer serious critique to this administration, and something beyond that for the AINO Party, the GOP.

Trump’s handling of the Epstein Files, where he told his base that they were believing fake news when they continued to push to see the files finally get released, was a critical, but not fatal, blow to his MAGA brand. It made him seem as inauthentic as any swamp politician ever did.

What follows next is an own goal that might not immediately hurt his brand, but as it gets closer and closer to the deadline to pass a less draconian version of the ban, more and more Americans, his own voters, will start seeing Trump as being just as inauthentic as any other politician, especially as they experience harm as businesses begin to shut down (See how this will hurt him in the final part of our Detaining the Donkey series on pg. 2).

The passage of this bill chips further away at Trump’s political capital, and we Americans need that capital in order for him to continue to do the things we support, as well as some of the things we’ve been waiting to see (such as having the political capital to prosecute leading Democrats for treason, see pg. 2 for more on this).

If he loses political capital, the MAGA advance will come grinding to a halt and the counter-reformers will start to claw back his gains before his term even expires.

This bill also reaffirms the swamp’s tactics for making laws and rewards the highest political bidder with the spoils that come from a double-edged sword slicing open the underbelly of a whole industry just so its highest bidders can feast on the corpse.

So far, conservatives are mostly dead silent about this passage. They’re not even concerned with the violation, at least in spirit, of due process and rule of law, that was necessary for this socialist-like legislation to pass. This legislation is not at all in keeping with so-called “conservative fiscalism.”

The same gang that refuses to risk all to push to end abortion in America, while it also refuses to defiantly stand up to coerced acceptance of the LBGTQ+ plus orthodoxy, suddenly finds morals when it comes to hemp products.

Ok, so the target is high concentrations of THC and related products in liquids and jells, ostensibly, but the hammer shatters more than the target, which is most likely by design.

Our readers already know the lesson we can learn from this report. For those who haven’t been reading MIA regularly, or for those our readers have shared this report with, the lesson is this; neither party, not the Democrats, and certainly not the Republicans, either understand (in the case of the GOP) or want (in the case of the DNC) true Americanism.

Trump and the GOP want the outfits of America, but not the soul, though they’re willing to tolerate it. The Democrats want to burn the outfits and exorcise the soul.

Let us keep that in mind when we determine our reaction to our world today. In this spirit, we still hope for Trump to succeed in the areas we support him (which is still the majority of his policies). We hope he reverses his decline in political capital, for we recognize we need it maybe MORE than he does.

We also pray that the saving grace of Christ can become known to him.

Were Trump to find Christ this writer is sure many of the scales that are still over his eyes would fall away, and the fires of vanity concealing reality in their smoke and flames within will be put out in the flowing of living water.

“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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

Read Plenum Tea Leaves: What China’s Fourth Plenum Reveals about Xi Jinping’s Iron Grip

pgnewser November 25, 2025 0

Originally published Nov 13, 2025 for our weekly Issue of Mindful Intelligence Advisor.  Subscribe to get weekly issues.

By Michael A. Cessna, Military Affairs Correspondent

“Comrade Mao, whether he was crossing ‘a sea of surging waves’ or scaling ‘a mountain pass impregnable as iron’ always held unwaveringly to his course, setting a shining example for the Chinese Communist Party.” – Xi Jinping

INTRODUCTION

Communists love bureaucracy. The average Communist party makes the opaque and brain-melting “bureaucratese” coming from inside the Beltway read like a Dr. Seuss book. But, once said Party gets itself established, that tone rapidly hurls itself over a cliff…Case in point:

From October 20-23, 2025, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) convened its Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee – a gathering of roughly 370 top party officials that serves as one of the most important events in China’s political calendar.

For Western observers trying to understand where Beijing is heading, this plenum displayed a disturbing shift: Xi Jinping has consolidated more personal power than any Chinese leader since Mao Zedong, and he’s doing it through an unprecedented purge of the military and party elite…

And he also thinks that China can ‘go it alone’, angling for full-blown autarky for the Communist Chinese state. However, the confirmation of deep-cutting purges expose a shaky regime… one armed with an impressive nuclear arsenal.

A. BACKGROUND: THE HOLLOWED-OUT HALL

The most striking aspect of the Fourth Plenum wasn’t what happened – it was who didn’t show up. Only 168 of 205 Central Committee members attended, representing a mere 82% of the body. Another 24 alternate members were missing. Neil Thomas, a fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute, dubbed it the “Purge Plenum,” describing it as the hollowest CCP gathering of the post-Mao era.

The absences weren’t due to illness or travel. They represented political death sentences – officials under investigation, expelled from the party, or simply vanished into China’s opaque disciplinary system.

A total attendance of 315 members marked the lowest number since Xi came to power in 2012, dramatically lower than the three-hundred and sixty-four who attended last year’s plenum, or the 373 from the year before.

But the real shock came from the military wing of the Party. Of forty-two People’s Liberation Army members on the Central Committee, fully 27 were absent – a staggering 63% absence rate, including twenty-two generals.

Among the missing: the respected and highly experienced Navy Commander, Vice Admiral Hu Zhongming, Commander of the Northern Theatre (charged with guarding the capital of Beijing) General Huang Ming, and Eastern Theatre Political Commissar Liu Qingsong.

These are not mid-level bureaucrats; these were the men responsible for commanding China’s military forces. This is eerily similar to the Stalinist purges of the 1930’s, even if they have not reached that scale… yet.

The more Xi purges what he views as potentially disloyal elements – both political and military – the more weakened and debilitated the Communist Chinese military becomes. For Western military observers, this muddies assessments of everything from the CCP’s nuclear arsenal (see below) to their ability to both invade Taiwan, and to contest the South China Sea with the United States. This is because military leadership becomes very unwilling to actually “train” their troops for anything but parades, if such training is viewed as a potential threat to their “Dear Leader“.

  1. THE PURGE SURGE – These purges, despite their small scale (compared to those of “Comrade” Stalin) are just as dramatic and damaging. Days before the plenum opened, Beijing announced the expulsion of nine senior military officers, including one of only two vice chairmen of the Central Military Commission – China’s highest military policymaking body – and a member of the ruling Politburo.

The expelled officers included Admiral Miao Hua, the PLA’s most senior ideologist, and his deputy, General He Hongjun, who reportedly “died by suicide” in the wake of “corruption” charges.

The plenum itself confirmed that ten Central Committee members and four of the alternates had been formally expelled – a near record for disciplinary actions. Since the 20th Party Congress in 2022, at least 14 generals have been purged, including former defense ministers Li Shangfu and Wei Fenghe.

But The scale becomes even more startling when examined closely: Of forty-four uniformed officers selected to the Central Committee in 2022, only some fifteen remain untouched as of late 2025 – A POLITICAL SURVIVAL RATE OF JUST 34%.

Lower-ranking alternate members fared only slightly worse, with a c.30% survival rate. The PLA’s Rocket Force, responsible for China’s nuclear deterrent and conventional missile forces, has seen its leadership cadres severely gutted, losing at least nine senior commanders, with one analyst noting that the force has been “almost completely purged of former senior leaders“.

Official explanations cite “corruption” – “serious violations of discipline” and “duty-related crimes involving an extremely large amount of money“. But while corruption is certainly endemic in China’s system, the timing and scale suggest something much more serious: Xi is systematically eliminating anyone who might pose even a theoretical challenge to his authority, even officers he personally promoted.

These sorts of actions are not, obviously, conducive to military efficiency or coherent policies and training.

  1. SELF-RELIANCE AS STRATEGY – Beyond the dramatic purges, the plenum advanced Xi’s economic agenda for the CCP’s 15th Five-Year Plan, covering the 2026-2030 timeframe. The full plan won’t be released until March 2026, but the official communiqué revealed Xi’s priorities: “self-reliance and self-strengthening in science and technology” to develop what Beijing calls “new quality productive forces,” marking a definitive shift towards autarky.

Translation: Xi wants China to become technologically independent of the West, particularly in advanced semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and military applications. The rhetoric of “self-strengthening” deliberately echoes China’s response to Western imperialism in the 19th century – a historical reference Xi’s audience understands implicitly. Whether they can pull this off or not is the real question – Short Answer: They almost certainly can’t.

Xi’s remarks to Trump at their meeting in South Korea – promising that “our two countries can totally help each other to succeed and prosper” – contrast sharply with his language while in Beijing, where he called for China to “win the strategic initiative amid fierce international competition“. One message soothes foreign audiences, the other reveals actual policy.

The plenum also reaffirmed China’s goal of reaching per capita GDP of $20,000 by 2035, which would require maintaining an annual growth above 4% for the next decade. Given China’s slowing economy, mounting debt, and demographic challenges (a festering leftover of the “One Child Policy” implemented in 1979), this is certainly ambitious, to the point of bordering on fantasy.

But Xi framed it as essential for China’s “great rejuvenation” – another loaded historical term suggesting a return to China’s perceived rightful place as the dominant power in Asia.

The problem with this rosy strategy is that in addition to the Communist state’s faltering domestic economy (see below), its flagship foreign trade scheme, the so-called “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI) is rapidly collapsing, increasing the velocity of Beijing’s economic death spiral.

B. WHAT THIS ALL MEANS

Three key conclusions have emerged from this plenum. First, Xi no longer faces meaningful internal opposition. The purges demonstrated his strength, not weakness. As one Asia Society analysis noted, by 2027 Xi will have promoted a new generation of officials “who have survived and internalized 15 years of his rule” – leaders steeped in an ethos of control and self-reliance rather than reform and experimentation.

Second, the military purges raise serious questions about PLA capabilities, readiness and internal cohesion. Xi has publicly ordered the military to be ready for action against Taiwan by 2027. Yet he’s simultaneously gutting the officer corps, creating an atmosphere where, as one Taiwanese analyst put it, “no one can be fully trusted“.

This suggests either that Xi believes loyalty matters more than competence, or that the corruption his internal security forces have uncovered genuinely threatens military effectiveness. Neither interpretation is reassuring, given how volatile the internal political maneuvering of the CCP can get.

Third, Xi’s emphasis on autarkic technological self-reliance and economic independence signals that he views strategic competition with the United States as inevitable and probably permanent. The conciliatory language for foreign consumption should not fool anyone – Beijing is preparing for a long-term competition it believes will determine whether the 21st century belongs to China or remains dominated by American power.

While these three conclusions are clear, they also mark a dangerously unstable mix of competing forces, over whose control it remains unclear how well Beijing can manage. In effect, Communist China is a technologically advanced, economically unstable, Third World tin-pot dictatorship…with a population of nearly 1.5 billion.

  1. THE POWER PARADOX – Xi Jinping now exercises “complete control” according to official rhetoric, with the party calling on officials to “unite more closely around the Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core“. Yet the rows of empty seats at the plenum captured the paradox: absolute authority purchased through constant purges. It is the power of fear, not inspiration.

For Americans trying to understand China’s trajectory, the Fourth Plenum provides crucial insight. The United States faces a China led by one man who tolerates no dissent, who views the world solely through the lens of great-power competition, and who is willing to sacrifice experienced military leadership to ensure the personal loyalty of the remainder.

That makes China simultaneously more predictable – Xi’s word is policy – and more dangerous, since no institutional checks exist on his judgment…the dangers of which, the Biden Administration’s “autopen” controversy demonstrated.

This is very much the 21st Century version of the “Cult of Personality” and “Great Man” theories that defined the middle forty years of the 20th Century…with potentially everything bad that comes with them.

The question is not whether Xi controls China. He clearly does. The question is whether a system built on purges and fear can execute the sophisticated economic and military strategy Beijing envisions – or whether Xi’s iron grip is slowly strangling the very capabilities China needs to achieve his ambitions.

The greater question, however, is what might happen if Xi were to die suddenly, with no clear successor. When the Soviet Union fell at the end of 1991, in the wake of the Soviet hard liner’s reactionary coup attempt against Mikhail Gorbachev, there were certainly “issues“. But there was never any hint of an actual civil war among various Soviet factions.

In the Communist China of 2025-2026, there is no guarantee of a new civil war not happening. There are plenty of factions within the CCP – military, Party and industrial – that would be vying for power in the sudden aftermath of Xi’s downfall (from whatever method). None of the likely options are comforting.

  1. THE REALITY OF POWER – Old Is New…? – Communists always do Communist things, in very Communist ways – they are intellectually incapable of doing anything different. But, as always, History serves as both guide and warning.

While not reaching the scale of Stalin’s purges – yet – Xi’s methodology of enforcing discipline through capricious iron rule reveals a highly disturbing trend in the internal politics of a nuclear-armed state.

Communist China’s economy is slowing dramatically, despite observers desperately trying to put lipstick on a pig. This alone is a serious problem, given the Communist giant’s sheer population density.

But really, the series of dangerously disruptive purges are the true problem.

  1. WHERE THE PURGES LEAD: THREE DANGEROUS SCENARIOS – The immediate question facing Western strategists is deceptively simple: does Xi’s consolidation of power make China more or less dangerous?

The uncomfortable answer is that it makes Beijing simultaneously weaker and more unpredictable – a combination that historically produces catastrophic miscalculations.

3.1: THE 2027 PROBLEM: A GUTTED MILITARY MEETS AN AMBITIOUS TIMELINE – Xi Jinping has publicly committed the People’s Liberation Army to being ready for military action against Taiwan by 2027.

Yet he’s simultaneously purged two-thirds of the PLA’s senior leadership since 2022. The contradiction is stark: Communist China wants to prepare for perhaps the most complex and dangerous military operation since D-Day – an amphibious assault across the Taiwan Strait – with an officer corps that has been decimated not by enemy action but by its own leaders’ paranoia.

The parallel to Stalin’s “Winter War” against Finland is stark.

History offers that war as a grim precedent for today. Stalin’s purges of the Soviet military in the late 1930s removed – often lethally – experienced commanders and replaced them with politically reliable mediocrities and outright incompetents.

When Hitler invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, the Red Army’s initial performance was catastrophically bad, with millions of casualties and staggering swaths of territory lost in the first months. The Soviet Union eventually prevailed through sheer industrial capacity and population density – advantages that won’t help China in a “Taiwan invasion” scenario requiring precision, absolute timing, intimate coordination, and split-second decision-making.

The danger isn’t that Xi’s weakened military will be too cautious. It’s that a command structure built on fear will tell Xi only what he wants to hear, rather than what he needs to know. When every officer knows that honest assessments can end careers (or lives), intelligence gets filtered through layers of self-preservation. Plans become overly optimistic. Risks get minimized. And leaders eventually make decisions based on fantasy rather than reality.

3.2: THE ECONOMIC TRAP: WHEN PROMISES MEET REALITY – Xi’s commitment to 4% annual growth through 2035 faces structural headwinds that no amount of political will can overcome. China’s working-age population is shrinking by roughly 5 million people per year. Local government debt exceeds 60 trillion yuan (approximately US$8.4 trillion).

The property sector – which drove Mainland Chinese growth for two decades – has collapsed. And Xi’s emphasis on “self-reliance” means cutting China off from the very technological exchange that fueled its previous rise…that also undermines his vaunted “Belt and Road Initiative“.

When authoritarian regimes face this combination of slowing growth and disappointed expectations, they historically reach for the nationalist playbook. A Taiwan adventure offers Xi a way to rally domestic support, distract from economic failure, and fulfill his “great rejuvenation” promises (rather like Leopoldo Galtieri in 1982) – all while the window of American distraction or weakness might be open.

The calculation then becomes perverse: Xi might choose military action – not from a position of strength but from weakness. He might be thinking that waiting only makes his economic and demographic problems worse. This is the most dangerous scenario: not a confident China executing a long-planned strategy, but a desperate China gambling that external aggression can solve internal problems.

3.3: THE SUCCESSION BLACK HOLE – Xi is 72 years old and has methodically eliminated anyone who could plausibly succeed him. The Central Committee members who survive his purges are survivors precisely because they pose no threat – which means they possess no independent power base, no vision beyond Xi’s, and no legitimacy separate from their association with him. When Xi eventually dies or becomes incapacitated, China faces a succession crisis with no obvious resolution.

This matters because it affects Xi’s timeline for major action. If he believes his window for achieving his goals – particularly regarding Taiwan – is limited to his own lifespan, that creates pressure on him for action sooner rather than later. A leader who has made himself indispensable will want to secure his legacy while he can still direct events.

This fear – the unseating of a dictator who has no clear successor – was one of the exact considerations that went into not outright invading and conquering Iraq in 1991, as Saddam Hussein – as in 2003 – had no obvious successor, and none of the Coalition powers of that time wanted to get bogged down in an occupation of a nation of over 17 million people.

And China has a population well in excess of one billion, and closer to 1.4 or 1.5 billion.

PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS

What Should America Do? – These scenarios argue for a specific American policy response: strengthen deterrence now, while Xi’s military is still weakened by purges, but before desperation drives recklessness. This means accelerating arms sales to Taiwan, making explicit defense commitments that remove ambiguity, and working with allies to demonstrate that the costs of aggression would be prohibitive regardless of China’s internal political needs.

On the economic front, this also means that the United States needs to accelerate and expand its domestic manufacturing of general-use microprocessors, as far too much of America’s need for these is anchored in Taiwan, and is thus exposed to catastrophic disruption in the event of a Communist invasion attempt, successful or not.

The worst wrinkle here is the terrible situation with the United States military’s manning levels. After being gutted by mismanaged budgets, insane procurement strategies, and having its traditional recruiting demographics be actively discouraged (by whatever means) from enlisting, the United States military remains smaller than it was in 1941.

While there has been a “bump” to recruiting numbers in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s 2024 election, it remains to be seen if that boost can be sustained, because technology will not overcome the numbers problem, here, as Communist China is too close to the U.S., technologically speaking.

The worst mistake for the U.S. government would be to interpret Xi’s consolidation of power as evidence of Chinese strength and confidence. Dictators who rule through fear are often at their most dangerous when they are at their weakest, because they have the most to prove – to their own populations, to their purged rivals, and to themselves.

Xi Jinping has built a system where no one can challenge him. That means no one can stop him either. And a China that cannot restrain its leader is a China that Americans must prepare to deter, contain, and if necessary, defeat.

The Fourth Plenum didn’t reveal a confident superpower ready to peacefully surpass America. It revealed a nuclear-armed dictatorship trapped by its own internal logic, led by a man who has eliminated every check on his judgment, facing economic and demographic decline that he cannot admit and cannot reverse.

That is not a recipe for caution. It’s a recipe for catastrophe.

“Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, ‘Do not think to yourself that in the king’s palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews. For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?’ Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai, ‘Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my young women will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish.’” – Esther 4:13-16

INTRODUCTION

The November 4, 2025, election delivered to the Democrats a much-needed morality boost after taking a series of critical losses that began with the re-election of Donald J. Trump. It also showed “America’ what this writer has been telling you, the reader, for some time now.

Our series on Detaining the Donkey will conclude in the end-of-month issue. This report, however, can be seen as part of the overall report, for this election shows two things, there are two countries in this land (America and Progmerica) and the Progmericans are violent extremists already convinced that Americans are essentially white supremacist Nazis worthy of death.

We now find ourselves in a position where speaking out against unconstitutional actions, no matter the cost, is an existential essential if America is to reconquer her lost lands, lands lost to the progressives.

Like Esther, we must resist the temptation to cower in fear, we must risk death speaking plainly against the injustices recently committed and the injustices to come by our enemy, the progressive nation.

We must also resist the temptation to violently act in response to these injustices we will soon see occur in the more strongly fortified progressive lands, like New York City and Virginia.

We must call upon our American civic authority to intervene on our behalf. We must count it as a righteous judgment on a land that still murders unborn children for the joy of “casual” sex if no such American civic authority comes to our rescue. Given the anti-American spirit of even the GOP, one has reason to be concerned that help might not be coming.

In this election, we saw a murder-wishing Attorney General get elected, we saw an outright Marxist-Islamist anti-Americanist get elected to be Mayor of our biggest city, and the red wave in New Jersey crash on the shores of bloody abortions.

All the conservative hype about a red wave was turned into a stinking blue mist exuding from the rotting flesh of the corpse that was once ONE COUNTRY in these lands. Where once there was America, we now know there are two countries, both fighting for existence. One country offers the lie of utopia and the other offers the burden of armed neighbors and personal responsibility.

We can only hope the utopian lie gets exposed before the power it creates ossifies in this land.

So far, white suburban “middle-class” women are choosing unborn child murder licensing over Americanism, “victim” blacks are choosing government handouts and REVENGE over Americanism, and the wealthy are voting for protections against competition from the hoi polio over Americanism.

All we have left now are the workers; yet workers are the ones being forced to foot the bill for classes of people that want those same workers dead (because of the white supremacism and the evil American empire they allegedly represent).

We will look at the key races in this election and break down the data that reveals the nature of this win for the party of Progmerica. We will also highlight the most troubling wins from an Americanist perspective, wins that reveal, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the seditious spirit of the average Democrat voter today.

They live by different standards in a country that began under Woodrow Wilson, the first zombie President (towards the end). Let us hope the last zombie President, Biden, is also the last Progmerican President in this country, ever.

A. OVERVIEW

In every major election we will be focusing on, mass mailer ballots were part of the election process, but if the statistics I was able to cull from incredibly anti-American, Progmerican-biased AI search engines like Grok are correct, mass mailer ballots didn’t factor in that greatly in Virgnia. They factored into the NJ race, but not as significantly as they did in the two previous Presidential elections.

In New York City, they may have been a “significant” factor. The specific breakdown of mass mailer ballots was not given, but the phrase “significant” was used to describe its factor in voting.

The fact that the VA election was NOT influenced by mass mailer ballots (only 10% of the vote was allegedly mass mailed) means it is likely that the Virginia election is truly a reflection of the voters.

Among those voters are the overwhelming majority of federal workers (187,000 total in Virginia), who voted for the DNC candidates knowing full well what they were, ESPECIALLY their advocation for violence as a means of political discourse in America.

In Progmerica, this makes sense. Truth is death to Progmericans, so violence must be used to oppress it. In America, this is treason. The overwhelming majority of Virginians OPENLY voted for treason.

  1. NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR’S RACE – Abortion extremist Mikkie Sherrill won the New Jersey governor’s race handily by a vote of 57% to 43% over Republican Jack Ciattarelli. Sherill ran mostly on abortion, promising to pass legislation that will allow women to murder their unborn children up to birth. The suburban middle class white women of the state fueled her Progmerican victory.

White middle class suburban women were highly motivated to vote in New Jersey, which led to a 54% voter turnout, the highest percentage in a governor’s race in over 20 years. Statistics on mail-in votes were not given, but more than one third of the votes were early votes or mail-in ballots, a bucket the Dems won 51% to 29%.

It should be noted the Grok reason for people voting for Sherill was given as “overall economy, strong support from independents and women voters.”

What it won’t tell you (because it’s programmed by what are, essentially, DNC acolytes) is that the main issue was the “right” to murder unborn children so women and men, and even children (in Progmerica), can whore and murder to their hearts’ delights.

The narrative around this race from the left is Sherril won primarily because of the economy, but this seems more like an attempt to evade the fact that the DNC now only exists in its defense of unborn child murder and extra rights for “disenfranchised” classes.

At least the oppressed in Progmerica will have sex without consequence (or so they think) and at least one class of people the oppressed can always feel superior to, the unborn (random clump of cells). The promised free stuff, however, won’t be coming anytime soon.

The Democrat voters of New Jersey didn’t necessarily vote for treason, like the people in Virginia did, but they overwhelmingly chose sexual licentiousness over American liberty. For we Christians, we know such a spirit bodes poorly for the people that hold it (read the prophets to see what’s coming next).

  1. VIRGINIA – The buzz about early voting initially not going great for the Democrats proved to be a false hope for Americans as the state overwhelmingly voted for violence in politics by electing a governor who wouldn’t condemn it and the highest law man in the land who also openly advocated for it.

Another abortion extremist, Abigaile Spanberger, can now be seen as the face of the white, suburban, female child murderer vote. Her refusal to condemn her fellow party member, Jay Jones, for texting he wanted to murder his republican opponents’ kids in front of him, matched the spirit she showed in defending unborn child murder up to birth. The only people abortionists don’t want you to kill are murderers and rapists. Charlie Kirk? Yes. Child rapist-murderer? No.

Now, Virginia’s Governor and Attorney General have openly advocated for terrorism, yet the DOJ refuses to arrest them after committing such an obvious crime. If you are not a progressive and you live in Virginia, 57% of your neighbors just voted to murder you. Your state leaders support your execution should you dare speak in public against them.

Spanberger beat Winsome Earle-Sears 57% to 43%. Jay Jones beat the incumbent DA 53% to 47%. Voter turnout was 55%, with only 10% being from mail-in ballots. This means, as I stated earlier, Virginia TRULY VOTED FOR TREASON. Virginia may be the first state to openly vote for political assassinations in the history of our republic, a republic they just voted against.

One could argue that the majority of Viriginia’s voters in 2025 openly committed an act of treason against our republic. One would be correct in that assumption if they view reality through an Americanist lens. You have no right to vote for political murder as you clearly did in Virginia. This is crime of the highest order.

As a Progmerican bonus, the seditionists of Virginia also voted in their first Muslim to be Lieutenant Governor, militant progressive Ghazala Hashmi. This is yet another foreigner who became an American now serving in our government on a seditious party platform. She was born in India and raised in Georgia, but not as an American, as a Muslim Indian.

Her values are progressive, which are anti-American, meaning we have reason to deport her should we reconquer this lost land. Naturalized citizens who revolt against the republic have no business being allowed to stay.

She beat the American, John Reid, by 11 points. She is also a militant abortion extremist, a trait the bloodthirsty seditionists of Virginia really love.

  1. NEW YORK MAYOR’S RACE – The real bell weather for our country is the New York Mayor’s race. In that race, newly minted U.S. citizen Zohran Mamdani beat his two opponents, Andrew Cuomo (who got 25% of the vote) and Curtis Sliwa (who got 21% of the vote) combined. He won 50.4% of the vote, a slim majority, but a majority nonetheless.

Only 41.5% of registered voters showed up, but that was the highest voter turnout for a Mayoral election in decades. Mamdani’s voters chose free stuff (a lie Mamdani won’t be able to fulfill) over Americanism. New York City voted openly for treason over America, free stuff over personal responsibility. New York City, like Virginia, has fallen.

As the mail-in ballots accounted for a “significant” percentage of the votes, New York might be given a pass since a mass mailer election is no election at all.

  1. PA SCOTUS – The PA Supreme Court race appears to be one led by white middle-class suburban women who voted to retain the three DNC judges. These quisling judges will assure PA soon passes laws that will allow women, men, and probably children too, to murder their unborn children up to the moment of birth.

White middle class suburban women helped all three Democrats win their retention by comfortable margins of around 60-40 for each.

This is my home state. I chose not to vote in this election because Pennsylvania has some of the most mass mailer ballot friendly laws in the country (with Colorado being the worst). Figuring out the percentage of mass mailer ballots is not possible, yet, but Grok reported “Pennsylvania has significant mail-in voting, but no specific percentage isolated for this retention vote; statewide trends show high mail-in usage in recent elections.”

This PA resident can attest that in 2020 my residence received no less than 5 mail-in ballots for two potential voters. I can’t remember how many ballots we received in 2024, but in 2025 we did only receive two mail-in ballots for the two potential voters.

For PA, what we actually support remains unclear, for mass mailer elections are no elections at all. Nonetheless, millions of babies will soon die for the convenience of white middle class suburban women and their murder-whoring-supporting men having the luxury of sex without consequences to themselves (which is ALWAYS an illusion, for casual sex is an oxymoron).

At least we know the vote counters chose treason, unborn child murder, over America.

  1. CALIFORNIA PROP 50 – Californians chose to fortify their anti-American empire by voting, essentially, for Democrats to gerrymander their districts even more than they already are to get more U.S. House seats for the foreign country of Progmerica that California voters overwhelmingly pledged their allegiance to.

The measure passed easily with more than 65% of the vote. It should be noted this vote on whether Democrats can cheat even more was accomplished with 85% of the vote being mass mailer ballots (with MANY returns). This election cannot be put at the feet of Californians as there was no real election at all (for all mass mailer elections are no elections at all).

The damage done to our republic is still very real, and as of the writing of this report there are no viable American political parties to fight them (and that includes the GOP). The yes voters wanted to counter GOP redistricting efforts in states like Texas. The GOP met evil with evil, further undermining American rule of law and election integrity, and the Democrats are now responding with more evil.

Winning with evil is losing in the Kingdom of God.

B. OTHER RACES OF NOTE

A couple other races highlight the criminal depravity of DNC voters. While an open Marxist lost to a progressive in the Milwaukee Mayor’s race, two violent extremists managed to take American elected office. Also, across America, more city councils have been taken over by seditionists, openly professing socialists, as more and more people choose depravity and hand-outs over dangerous liberty.

  1. ERICA DEUSO – A man calling himself Erica Deuso won the Mayor’s race in Downington, PA after a second round of vote counting. He is a trans “woman” who has openly advocated for political violence. This means Downington, PA is now in open rebellion against the republic. By all rights, the Federal government should shut this illegal government down.

The one caveat here is, once again this was a mass mailer election, which is no election at all, so the people of Downington might not have wanted any of this at all.

Upon being elected, he chose to celebrate his mental illness, saying “Tonight, the numbers are clear. We won. Voters chose hope, decency, and a community where every neighbor matters. I am honored to be elected as Pennsylvania’s first openly transgender mayor. I carry that responsibility with care and with purpose.”

No, voters chose treason over America, sexual licentiousness over the republic.

Deuso is also a militant abortionist, supporting the murdering of unborn children up to birth (and possibly beyond). He is a darling of Planned Parenthood.

  1. KAOHLY VANG HER – Another foreign-born insurrectionist “new citizen” was elected Mayor of St. Paul, Minnesota, one of the havens for DNC Islamist extremism. In addition to being another foreigner who doesn’t understand America, the treasonous activist also boldly proclaimed she entered our country illegally, openly celebrating lawlessness.

She beat the Progressive insurrectionist Mayor Melvin Carter, who proved not to be anti-American enough for the insurrectionist voters of St. Paul. She beat him by a handful of votes after “second-round-choice votes” were counted.

The percentages of mass mailer votes was given by Grok as being between 20-30%, so while that’s a high percentage, it’s still fair to say the majority of St. Paul voters, overwhelmingly, prefer either lite anti-Americanism or hard anti-Americanism.  The slim majority chose hard anti-Americanism.

St. Paul must be reconquered.

C. KEY REACTIONS

Some key reactions from the election’s stunningly anti-American results from the President, the Vice President, and Democrat leaders show perhaps neither side knows why they won or lost.

  1. DONALD TRUMP – President Trump offered a pithy response on his Truth Social platform, writing “TRUMP WASN’T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT,” according to pollsters.

By my research, I would say the President is wish-speaking, not reality-speaking. The voters concerned about the economy mostly voted for Republicans, while the socialists, the beggars, and the whores voted overwhelmingly for the party of the coalition of the criminally insane. Perhaps the President doesn’t want to face the reality of power, that there are two nations in this land, and they cannot, and will not, get along.

Now that we are aware of our mutual existence, the tension is only going to increase.

  1. DNC MEDIA – The illegal campaign advertisers and information terrorists, the DNC-aligned corporate media, were giddy with the news that America lost the election and Progmerica won. The best example of their treasonous response comes from ABC News’ Good Morning America.

The host, George Stephanopoulos, told his audience that the two Virginia Democrats who advocated for political murder against conservatives were “centrist Democrats.” Are the extremists now openly raping children in public? Is THAT now what it takes to be called a leftwing extremist?

Calling them “centrist” is nothing but an attempt to normalize political murder. This is treason AND terrorism.

  1. JOSH SHAPIRO – Pennsylvania’s anti-American governor, insurrectionist Josh Shapiro (who never met a gun he didn’t want to confiscate or an unborn child he didn’t want to murder, or a girl he didn’t want to transition) cheered on America’s defeat, claiming “Americans” (Progmericans, really, which are NO AMERICANS AT ALL) voted against the chaos of Donald Trump.

This is the party that murdered Charlie Kirk, whose supporters, voters, continue to celebrate that death (ESPECIALLY VIRGINIANS!).

Shapiro’s doublespeak agit prop was this: “I think it’s going to have a huge impact. And listen, this is yet another example of the kind of chaos that Donald Trump has brought to our country. I mean, listen, Republicans control the White House. They control the House. They control the Senate. They got to reopen the government, and they got to pay these workers who do really critical tasks for us, like keeping us safe when we’re in the skies. It’s time for them to get this over with and get people back to work, pay folks, and end this shutdown.”

He knows full well the Senate needs 60 votes to complete the budget vote, yet he chooses to openly lie to his voters, spreading slander against his political opponents that will surely inspire more violence.

Leading voters to believe the Republicans could open the government with their votes alone, in these times, is practically a declaration of war, especially when the Democrats were holding out for illegal immigrant subsidies and continued healthcare fraud at the expense of many of the same insurrectionists at heart that voted for them. Shapiro’s response to the Charlie Kirk murder was to blame the President, for instance, not his own depraved party.

  1. JD VANCE – JD Vance spun the loss as the consequence of elections being held in blue states. He also seemingly associated economic factors with the loss, as many others have, though this writer disagrees with that assessment (mostly).

Vance said, “I think it’s idiotic to overreact to a couple of elections in blue states, but a few thoughts. We need to focus on the home front. The president has done a lot that has already paid off in lower interest rates and lower inflation, but we inherited a disaster from Joe Biden and Rome wasn’t built in a day. We’re going to keep on working to make a decent life affordable in this country, and that’s the metric by which we’ll ultimately be judged in 2026 and beyond.”

SUMMARY

The 2025 Election highlights what might turn out to be the fatal flaw of our short-lived American experiment. That fatal flaw is this: How do we prevent people who do not share our American values from becoming part of our American government?

While I do not support an official Christian nation, I WOULD support an official American nation, one in which political parties cannot exist that do not agree with our values.

Since we have no such mechanism, anti-Americanists were free to walk right into our sacred lands and gently nudge us away from Americanism and into progressivism. They seek to return us to the regressive ancient form of government that presumed the state had all power to make of your life what it wills according to its own interpretation of what’s good and bad for your life.

Young adults growing up were led to believe that this already mixed economy (socialism and capitalism) is a reflection of capitalism alone. So, they vote for the part of our economy that makes it dystopian, the socialist part. With no gatekeepers to assure anti-Americanists couldn’t run for office, or be employed by state institutions, the progressives were free to walk right through our open gates.

Now, after 100 plus years of parasitical existence, the virus within America, progressivism, is ready to kill the hijacked American cell and make it a fully progressive one. People who don’t know the history of moral supremacist regimes have no understanding of the bloodshed they are voting for whenever they support a Democrat in current year.

Unfortunately, voting for a Republican hasn’t stopped the progressives so far, even when Republicans win, so one has to doubt, at this point, if the GOP is a total failed project (as this writer supports that it is).

The Progmerican problem is that while they ARE a full nation within our own (with more major institutions than our own at this point), they still have a full nation, America, existentially opposed to them (though that nation, America, has not quite yet recognized itself fully, though it is very close to happening even as I write).

Fortunately, their efforts to disarm Americans have been most effective in lands populated by treasonous progressives themselves (AMERICAN lands we MUST reclaim).

We Americans are still well-armed and filled with Veterans and retired police officers who understand how to fight guerilla wars. This is a blessing, but also a curse, as it makes it more likely a social civil war with occasional shooting becomes a fully hot civil war (which is NOT something this writer supports).

Tens of millions of human beings that we interact with every day, our neighbors, for one reason or another, have been captured by this anti-American host. There is no solution that involves plainly speaking truth to most of these people, for they are emotionally tied to a narrative that’s not easy to break.

If you say “America,” they will call it a dog whistle for white supremacism, a lie told to them by information terrorists and child abusers (the DNC media, public-school teachers and college professors).

Next to the DNC media, this group has the most reckoning it needs to face, for it has been brutalizing children for decades on our dimes, training them to hate their parents, their country, and, for white children, their own skins.

School shootings aren’t a gun problem, they’re a schoolteacher terrorizing children and school districts medicating children problem.

They are fighting the evil in the world, America, the white race, and they truly believe we are evil, for information terrorists in the media and the classrooms have been traumatizing our children with these lies.

This leads our children to believe that when they murder, they execute murderers; when they cheat, they tactically outsmart you; when they unperson you for your beliefs, they’re fighting the oppression they are SURE your words will cause.

THEY BELIEVE THIS, IT’S NOT A DELUSION TO THEM!

They are fighting the evil of the world, us. The information terrorists have made all our effective language counters to their lies “dog whistles” of Nazism. When you speak truth, they hear Nazi dog whistles. Speak of integrity, it’s white supremacism, speak of empiric facts, it’s white supremacism.

In the last part of our series, Detaining the Donkey, I will offer you my solutions to our woes as well as my predictive analysis of what’s about to happen over the next few months. Those that can should shore up what they can, build mutual support networks of friends and family, and prepare for a life where you have to provide for yourselves for a little while.

There are two nations within, and neither can afford to let the other continue to exist now that we clearly know of our mutual, existentially opposed, existences.

After this election, there is no doubt in my mind that what I suspected long ago is true, and now processing that reality is difficult. But I exist in a story larger than America, I exist in the gospel story. Yet even in that gospel story I can find reason to be a good steward of my people, Americans, and, like the exiles after the fall of Samaria and Judah, I will serve whatever country God puts me in, including this one.

We shall stand or fall together, my fellow Americans. The time to face the reality of two nations with one land is here and so far, it appears no one in charge (including Trump and the GOP) either understands where we’re headed or wants to stop it.

The voters in these blue states made it clear, they want war. I am afraid, war might be coming very soon.

If the progressives win, I will be a good steward of their nation until they compel me to defy God’s law (assuming I survive their inevitable purge of “evil” such regimes always carry out, from Pol Pot to Stalin).

Daniel, Jospeh both show this stewardship. But Esther, perhaps, shows it best in our context.

Esther learned of a plot to have her people, the Jews, murdered. While she was Queen, she had no right to come to the King unless he sent for her. Her Uncle, Mordeci, didn’t plot an overthrow of the King, rather he sought to have his niece plead his case.

Esther faced death to enter the King’s court unsolicited, but fortunately for her the King, Ahasuerus, welcomed her, leading to her turning the tables on the man who plotted to kill her people, Haman (who hung on the gallows he had built for her Uncle).

So here we are, ready to be good stewards of whatever nation God calls us into, through exile or liberation, whichever it might be. Do all we can, without violence, to stop the progressive nation from conquering us from within but accept their role as an instrument of God’s judgment should they be victorious.

And yes, risk death, but don’t take it, like Esther did, until they had civic authority to do so (which she did through the King’s edicts he declared for her).

“We have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves and for future generations a new world order, a world where the rule of law, not the law of the jungle, governs the conduct of nations. When we are successful, and we will be, we have a real chance at this new world order, an order in which a credible United Nations can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of the U.N.’s founders.” –George H.W. Bush after an Iraqi Airstrike, January 17, 1991

INTRODUCTION

Donald Trump’s return to the presidency has marked one of the most dramatic foreign policy transformations in recent American history.

The 47th President’s approach to international relations during this critical period has demonstrated a deliberate departure from conventional diplomatic norms, employing what leftist observers, like Emma Ashford, termed a “move fast and break things” approach to foreign policy that prioritizes rapid, often chaotic transformation over incremental change.

Unlike traditional Presidential transitions that prioritize continuity and measured change, Trump entered his second term with an unprecedented burst of executive actions, signing at least 142 executive orders in his first 100 days, more than any other U.S. president in their first 100 days in office.

As Editor Paul Gordon Collier noted in Part One of our Second 100 Days report, “Donald Trump has signed more executive orders in the first 100 days than any other U.S. President in history, with 152. The list includes 3 Democrats in positions 2-4 before Trump shows up again in 5th for his first term’s first 100 days (with 33 executive orders). Second place is Franklin D. Roosevelt with 99 executive orders, third place is Harry S. Truman with 57 executive orders, and fourth place is Joe Biden with 42 executive orders.

Of those executive orders, 44 have been blocked by the judiciary, mostly at the District Court level. The number of reverses of those blocking orders is disputed, but somewhere between 2-5 are the numbers most often given.

This writer does not assume every executive order by Trump is constitutional, though those executive orders might not even be the ones that have been struck down and/or challenged.

The sheer volume of executive orders, however, is astounding. Given the fact he wrote 50% more executive orders than one of the most far-left authoritarian Presidents of all-time, FDR, one should be sobered by that high number.”

This “assertive” approach has fundamentally altered America’s relationships with allies and adversaries alike, while pursuing an expansionist vision that challenges international norms established by the 1945 UN Charter (something many Americans probably voted for), to break the old “new world order” set by Bush I.

A. THE CURRENT SITUATION IN THE UKRAINE: PROMISES AND REALITIES

Trump entered office with hopes of producing a ceasefire in Ukraine in “one day.”

Reaching a ceasefire agreement during the first 100 days of the second Trump presidency, let alone a peace deal, has arguably proven much harder than the President might have expected. Trump himself eventually acknowledged this difficulty, saying he was joking about the one-day timeline.

While that timeline has proven overly optimistic, Trump’s shift towards Russia from adversarial to conversational counters the Uniparty consensus on Russia.

However, the administration’s diplomatic efforts began immediately, with Trump announcing he had called Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss a possible ceasefire deal on February 12, marking the first known conversation between the presidents since Trump assumed office in January.

Despite multiple rounds of negotiations mediated through various channels, including meetings in Saudi Arabia and Istanbul, substantive progress remained elusive. By late May, Trump said after his call with President Vladimir Putin that Russia and Ukraine would immediately start negotiations for a ceasefire, but the Kremlin said the process would take time, with Trump indicating reluctance to impose additional sanctions on Moscow.

The signs of an entirely different approach to Ukraine were starkly laid out on February 28, 2025, when Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a highly combative bilateral meeting televised live in the Oval Office that was meant to discuss a Ukraine-U.S. mineral resources agreement.

During the meeting, Trump bluntly told Zelenskyy, “You’re not winning this. You have a damn good chance of coming out okay because of us” and “You don’t have the cards. You’re buried there.”

The meeting ended abruptly without signing the planned agreement, and Trump canceled a planned news conference. Media outlets described it as an unprecedented public confrontation between an American president and a foreign head of state.

The practical implications have been significant. Trump also said he had been in “serious discussions with Russia” and had “received strong signals that they are ready for peace” while simultaneously pressuring Ukraine through aid suspensions and public criticism.

When negotiations stalled, Trump’s frustration became evident. The United States will walk away from efforts to broker a Russia-Ukraine peace deal unless there are clear signs of progress soon, U.S. President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in April, with Rubio emphasizing, “We need to determine very quickly now, and I’m talking about a matter of days, whether or not this is doable in the next few weeks.”

B. MIDDLE EAST COMPLEXITIES: GAZA AND REGIONAL AMBITIONS

The President came into office with big radical visions for the Gaza Strip, proposing what he termed a “freedom zone” for the territory.

His most controversial suggestion, timed with the arrival of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – the first world leader to arrive at the White House on February 4, signaling the administration’s strong support for Israel – involved the idea that the U.S. might “take over” and “own” the Gaza Strip, envisioning long-term U.S. control and the relocation of Palestinians to neighboring countries, turning Gaza into the “Riviera of the Middle East.”

However, the administration has also pursued unexpected diplomatic openings. Trump hosted Netanyahu again in April to inform him of the U.S. decision to enter nuclear talks with Iran, a move that reportedly blocked Israeli plans for military action against Iran’s nuclear program. Jerusalem worries that Trump will accept an agreement with Tehran that fails to contain the regime’s nuclear ambitions. As of right now, that block is not in place as Israel has struck a major blow against Iran that is still ongoing even as I write this.

C. GLOBALIST INSTITUTIONAL DISMANTLING AND A BUREAUCRATIC REVOLUTION

One of Trump’s most dramatic foreign policy moves involved the systematic dismantling of America’s international engagement apparatus. The administration has shuttered the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Millennium Challenge Account, Voice of America, and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.

The scale of these cuts was unprecedented, with at least 121,000 workers fired from federal agencies, including 10,000 employees fired from the Agency for International Development (USAID), where 100 percent of the jobs were culled.

This institutional dismantling extended beyond foreign aid agencies. On January 20, his first day in office, Trump signed 26 executive orders, which included withdrawing from the World Health Organization and renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. The broader pattern reflected what globalist critics described as an assault on the foundations of American global leadership. MAGA voters would call this the dismantling of the globalist world order, from without and from within.

By the end of those first 100 days, the Trump World Order has replaced the old agreements.

D. TRUMP’S WORLD ORDER EMERGES

  1. TRUMPOLARISM – President Trump came out the gates calling for Canada to become the fifty-first state, proposing to buy Greenland, and taking action to retake control of the Panama Canal. The President appears to be done with the global order’s way of doing things and has opted for unipolarism over globalism.
  2. ALLIANCE RE-ALIGNMENT – Trump’s approach to traditional alliances during his first 100 days demonstrated a fundamental shift in American foreign policy priorities. Trump has forced a rethink of the U.S. commitment to NATO, creating ruptures with transatlantic allies while simultaneously challenging the European Union in myriad ways: withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement, imposing sweeping tariffs on European countries, and telling them to take care of their own security.

The impact on traditional alliances has been paradigm-shifting. Trump’s aggressive stance toward Canada has completely upended what was traditionally a close relationship, with Trump telling reporters, “Canada only works as a state. We don’t need anything they have.”

3. MILITARY POWER – In contrast, Trump’s military deployments against various factions in the Middle East presented a reminder that, even given the somewhat dilapidated state the U.S. armed forces found themselves in after the four years of the Biden administration, the United States still packs a massive punch when it decides to deploy it.

Trump’s most significant military action during his first 100 days was Operation Rough Rider, a large-scale campaign against Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis launched on March 15, 2025. The operation marked the biggest U.S. military operation in the Middle East since Trump took office, targeting the group over their serious disruption of Red Sea shipping traffic since October of 2023.

The campaign began with strikes on 30-plus targets at multiple locations, including terrorist training sites, drone infrastructure, weapons manufacturing capabilities, and command-and-control centers.

The strikes killed at least 53 people and wounded almost 100 others, including “multiple” Houthi leaders, according to U.S. national security adviser Michael Waltz.

Unlike the Biden administration’s limited and ineffectual approach, Trump granted broader authority to operational commanders and showed less reluctance about potential casualties. The campaign hit 1,000 targets and killed hundreds of Houthi fighters over nearly two months.

The operation concluded on May 6, 2025, when Trump announced the U.S. would stop bombing the Houthis after the group agreed to halt attacks on shipping lanes, though the Houthis indicated they would continue targeting Israel.

  1. REMOVING THE CANCER WITHOUT KILLING THE HOST

The administration’s approach to great power competition revealed internal contradictions, or, perhaps more accurately, conflicting concerns. While some policies appeared designed to counter Chinese influence, the administration has been willing to accept the risk of ending USAID and VOA so suddenly that it creates opportunities for America’s enemies to move in.

Trump is dismantling America’s soft power machine, but if the administration is right in its assumptions that much of this apparatus serves the globalist agenda, not the America First agenda, the damage these tax-funded institutions can continue to do is far more than the damage done by immediately terminating them.

It does open the door for China (and it already has), but it also immediately shuts the door on the insurrectionists within the government.

Beyond bilateral relationships, Trump has sought to completely dismantle the leftist-captured bureaucratic apparatus working aggressively against his “America First” policy.

In so doing, some cuts may have been too hasty. For instance, Trump dismantled some of America’s most essential cyber programs, including more than $175 million in grants and contracts for partner capacity building through USAID cuts.

These moves, then, reflect Trump’s broader skepticism about the nature of these government programs that seem to push anti-American and/or leftist values over American ones. It also appears to reflect his preference for direct, bilateral engagement over multilateral institutions with their own foreign policy agendas and lack of accountability (until now).

E. LATIN AMERICA AND IMMIGRATION DIPLOMACY

President Trump followed through with his promise to begin mass deportations in his first 100 days. This has put Latin America to the fore of U.S. foreign policy. This has led to unprecedented cooperation mechanisms, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio making his first international trip to the region, visiting Panama, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and the Dominican Republic.

The approach has been effective in achieving stunning cooperation. The United States later transferred illegal aliens to El Salvador, with many Liberal and anti-Trump hawkers alleging that they weren’t gang members at all.

Despite accusations of human rights violations by DNC operatives and their allies, many Latin American leaders are happy to facilitate these deportations – and not only those who seek a close relationship with Trump.

  1. THE EL SALVADOR PRISON DEAL – One of the Trump administration’s most controversial foreign policy innovations involved an unprecedented agreement with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele to accept criminal deportees.

Under this arrangement, El Salvador’s government receives about $6 million to imprison 300 alleged members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang in the country’s notorious mega-prison known as the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT).

The program relied heavily on Trump’s invocation of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to justify deportations in an effort to cut the criminals off from getting what the Trump administration would characterize as “undo due process,” or “due process not granted to illegal alien criminals by the constitution.”

Since March, Washington has transferred at least 200 mostly Venezuelan alleged gang members and violent criminals to El Salvador. Unfortunately for the Trump administration, it would be determined that one person, a person the DNC criminal press called a “Maryland resident,” was deported in error.

The Trump Administration conceded to the courts, sort of. They had the illegal alien, Kilmar Abrego García, extradited back to the U.S. to face charges in Federal court for human trafficking, including of children.

Trump further expanded the scope of this partnership by expressing interest in sending U.S. citizens convicted of violent crimes to Salvadoran prisons, telling Bukele, “The homegrowns are next, the homegrowns. You’ve got to build about five more places.”

Legal experts described the concept as “obviously unconstitutional, obviously illegal,” since the U.S. government cannot forcibly remove citizens from the country for any reason.

In making these statements, Trump continued to pursue his apparent strategy of getting his political opposition to fly into near-hysterical rage, taking Trump literally at his word, despite the obvious silliness of his statements.

While this may be technically seen as “buffoonery,” it does seem to be working, as both Democrat politicians and Left-wing commentators repeatedly show themselves as both foolish and childish… This, of course, calls into question the veracity of the previously quoted polls.

The first 100 days of Trump’s second presidency thus established a pattern of maximum disruption combined with uncertain outcomes – an approach that prioritized the destruction of existing frameworks over the construction of viable alternatives, leaving both allies and adversaries struggling to adapt to an increasingly unpredictable American foreign policy.

SUMMARY

Written by Editor Paul Gordon Collier

More than any other aspect of the second first 100 days of the Trump administration, the entanglement of globalist far-left activism with America’s primary means of “soft power,” power projected through social and cultural influence, presents the most challenging problem.

On the one hand, the Trump administration NEEDS these institutions to do the work of American foreign policy; on the other hand, getting these institutions to carry forth with his policy was going to be nearly impossible as they existed on his second first day in office.

As many leaders will tell you, if you want to get “big things” done, do it as quickly as possible. The longer you wait, the less likely you will have the political capital to ever move so dramatically, so suddenly again. Taking office, he had tremendous political capital, capital he might never have again.

A second major conflicting issue is the nature of the American alliance, which has devolved to the point where America’s “allies” took it for granted that America would continue to meet the obligations of the old agreement, the Bretton Woods Agreement, without having to meet theirs.

This agreement essentially made it clear that America would give its allies favorable trade deals, provide for their defense, and keep the global trading lanes, especially the ocean ones, open. All they must do is simply go along with American foreign policy.

It was intended to contain Russian influence by offering the world prosperity over war. But since that agreement was first signed, in 1944, one part of the agreement has continued: America’s obligation. The second part, America’s allies’ obligations, have been met less and less until, at this point, the “alliances” serve the globalist agenda.

More insidiously, this globalist agenda works against the sovereignty of the nations in this same American-centered alliance (which worked against America’s interests, not for it). The UK, Northern Ireland, France, and Germany are all in this alliance, and they’re all heading towards state failure because they follow the same globalist, not American, foreign policies.

Trump must have understood going in that the old agreements were existential threats to American sovereignty and power. To his enemies, the loss of “respect” from allies is a testament to his failures; to Americans, the nations being served notice that America is now working in its own best interests, not the world’s, is a moment they’ve been wanting to see for at least two decades now.

Yet Trump hopes to ultimately keep these same allies, or at least most of them (including Canada and the UK), if they choose to reject the old new world order and embrace the Trump World Order.

This means he must balance out the need to preserve with the need to cull, knowing he has little time to make an impact that his successor cannot easily undo.

I am not sure there is anyone short of God who could hit the right balance between culling and preserving, but I will say this writer believes it is better, at this point, to ere on the side of culling too much than preserving too much, for a little leaven leavens the whole lump.

An America left with a little leftism is not an America that can survive anyway.

Cull away, Trump; let the chips fall where they may.

THE ICE RAID RIOTS: THE DNC’S “WRITING ON THE WALL”

“And this is the writing that was inscribed: Mene, Mene, Tekel, and Parsin. This is the interpretation of the matter: Mene, God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; Tekel, you have been weighed in the balances and found wanting; Peres, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.” –Daniel 5:25-28

ED.NOTE: All accusations should be presumed to be allegations, allegations we believe are true but cannot yet clearly prove, mainly that the Democrat Party and its “allies” are attempting to trigger an insurrectionist event that will destroy the American republic and replace it with Progmerica, which is no America at all.

INTRODUCTION

The ICE raid riots are an ongoing story that will hardly be completed before we go to print on Friday, June 13. Normally, we would wait to do a report on a story like this, until it gets closer to some form of total or “chapter” completion. We’re not even going to see a chapter completion before this goes to print.

As of the writing of this report (June 12), President Donald Trump has ordered in hundreds of marines and a couple of thousand national guardsmen to stabilize Los Angeles (where the insurrectionist attacks first started).

In response, the DNC is now threatening a national event for June 14 called “No Kings” that promises to spread more terror to American cities. GOP states, the targets of these scheduled terror attacks, are bracing for the next battle.

This is not intended to be a report that captures the minutia of facts, but rather the emerging narratives, spirits, or zeitgeist that is emerging from these acts of insurrection. The open declaration of war by Democrats and their activists against the Federal government is disturbing enough as it is; the refusal of the DOJ to prosecute these top DNC leaders for openly inciting violence is even more disturbing, and why I felt the need to report on this so soon.

I decided to do an analysis of events around the ICE protests because right now America is closer than it ever has been to potentially becoming unstable for a short, or longer period of time. It might come through some level of Civil War or a disruption of interstate trade due to increased acts of leftist terrorism. It might also prove to be much sound and fury signifying nothing.

We will most likely have a sense of the bite of the left by the time the next publication comes to print, after their “No Kings” terror threat is carried out (or not carried out).

I believe our audience should get a sense of the state of things as they currently are (at least up until the day before printing) to make the best decision regarding what you might want to do to ensure you are ready should instability come, for however long. By the time we print our next issue, we will already being experiencing disruption, or learn there is no fire to their smoke.

A recent event happened in New York City that, this writer believes, captures a new zeitgeist emerging in America that shatters the paradigms the left has used to control the narrative for the last 50-plus years. That zeitgeist is emerging from the violent confrontations happening in more and more cities as insurrectionists attempt to shatter American stability.

If this new zeitgeist emerges, our “fears” will be laid to rest. America will rise again.

A. THE ICE RAID RIOT ZEITGEIST EMERGES

Occasionally, a moment happens that crystalizes a new zeitgeist rising in a culture. These types of images are often on their face jarring. They will have elements out of their old acceptable context that yet will reveal a “new acceptable” context.

For instance, recently, we had the startling image of Donald Trump rising with a raised fist, blood on his cheek. He was almost, but not quite, protected by a woman who seemed uncomfortable to touch him. On the other side was a man in shades looking more like he wanted to look cool rather than protect the President. They are worthy of their own symbolic zeitgeist analysis, but they’re not as relevant as the weak man who rose.

The incongruous combination of the weakness of a former President disheveled, bloodied, yet made strong by a determined cry and a fist pump, made the weakness of Trump himself “permissible” for people to look past. For in his weakness, he rose.

That image may be the very image that changed the zeitgeist of the political debate, a contest between the status quo empty suit that will keep to the plan versus the unstable, unpredictable, weak man who had been bloodied before the assassination attempt with 34 felony convictions. The weak man rose. The narrative was broken. America had “permission” to take a chance on a dangerous bet.

Recently, an exchange occurred, captured in a viral video, that rises almost to that level as far as zeitgeist-changing goes.

A woman was driving on her way to work when she was interrupted by a mob of ICE raid protestors, insurrectionists, who had illegally shut down the freeway she happened to be driving on. She got out of her car to beg the insurrectionists to let her go because she needed to make money to support her daughter.

The insurrectionists laughed to her face, claiming the children of immigrants are also in need.

The insurrectionists in this story were two white people, a mother in her 50s to 60s and her son in his 30s. The woman in this story is a black woman. The image you see is two white people confronting a black woman, telling her that the immigrant child is more important than her child.

The welfare bribe that won the black community over to the party that enslaved them might not be enough to keep black Americans on the DNC plantation anymore if they rightly perceive their needs are second, or even last, compared to the needs of illegal aliens.

From Legal Insurrection:

With traffic having ground to a halt at a busy intersection, the young woman gets out of her car and begs the mother-son team to let her get through. “I have a kid, and I need to go to work.”

The mother snapped, “These people [illegal immigrants] are having their children taken.”

“But what about my kid?” the young woman asked.

Too busy fighting for the rights of illegal immigrants, she replied sharply, “I can’t help you.”

Hernandez asked the protestors, “How do you all feel as white people stopping a black woman from going to work?”

The son, who looked to be in his thirties, turned to Hernandez and said sarcastically, “Oh no, not work.”

As a derisive smile crossed his face, he added, “I care so much.”

The symbolism here breaks an old paradigm and creates a new one. Here, you have on one side the representation of the DNC-CCP, the angry white suburban idler who might also be getting paid by an NGO to intentionally disrupt American cities. On the other side, you don’t see a Republican, a conservative; you see an American, a black woman who represents at this moment ALL OF AMERICA.

The white people look like the college class, the entitled. The black woman is a working woman, a middle-class, working-class woman. The division that is more important than race is the division between the college class and the working class, which is devastating to the DNC because its brand was that it represents the worker.

I guarantee you 99 percent of the alleged white supremacists in this country, MAGA people, identified with the black woman, recognized HER as the American, not the white leftist insurrectionists.

The paradigm of race is broken. The paradigm of leftist versus American has risen. Americans believe many things, come in many colors, but all believe in “live and let live,” in not interfering with your neighbor’s right to pursue their own truth, their own way, so long as they respect the rights of others to do the same.

America is not a biological expression; it is an ideal, an ideal manifest in the land we have been blessed to govern, a land that is the envy of the world, and why these insurrectionists are trying to help the world absorb it into its “gun-less and thought-less zones.”

It remains to be seen if this image will become the crystalizing image of this latest effort by the DNC-CCP to overthrow the republic, by any means necessary, through these ICE raid riots, but this writer is praying that it will.

B. HOW THE DNC FANNED THE FLAMES OF THE ICE RAID RIOTS

  1. HOW IT BEGAN – On June 6, 2025, Federal ICE Agents were serving warrants for criminal illegal aliens in a place of business where they discovered more illegal aliens. Insurrectionist activists were deployed by the various terrorist organizations the left has utilized for years to attempt to disrupt the arrest process, with one Democrat congresswoman being arrested and charged after assaulting ICE officers to “protect” criminal illegal aliens.
  2. INSURRECTIONIST PRESS FUELS MORE VIOLENCE – The DNC-CCP press immediately spread lies that there was a massive raid going on, characterizing the raids as something unconstitutional, agitating their brownshirt activists intentionally to bring a mob to harm the ICE agents.

From Newsbusters:

The latest L.A. riots came after ICE began enforcing immigration law and rounding up illegals in downtown Los Angeles, and the New York Times is desperately trying to downplay the radical and violent nature of the so-called protests by calling them “largely peaceful” (i.e., somewhat violent, as a trove of photos from Los Angeles prove).

A representative piece is “What to Know About the Immigration Protests in Los Angeles,” with this subhead attached: “Demonstrations against the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration have been largely peaceful, but tensions flared after President Trump ordered National Guard troops to deploy to the city.”

The story is wrong right from the subhead. Riots were already ongoing, with stones hurled at cop cars, while the National Guard troops were sent to protect the Los Angeles Federal Building, which came under siege Friday by protesters.

These were known facts the press concealed. They could only have done so to incite violence against federal agents. But not only is the press in on the insurrection, so are the DNC-CCP-controlled AI bots, like ChatGPT, a digital terrorist if ever there was one.

  1. AI TERROR MACHINES – If you ask AI bots about the ICE RAID riots, you get large language model responses, all written within the presumed leftist paradigm. ChatGPT, for instance, wrote a correction to my labeling the LA Riots as riots, “Here’s what triggered the 2025 ‘LA Riots’ (really protests that erupted into unrest) … “

However, we now know these riots were always riots, from the start, intended to produce sympathy from the American public after the law is sent in to rightly arrest, detain, and put down the insurrection. Leftists are using these AI terror machines to “justify” the violent actions they are taking, using ChatGPT quotes to “rebuke” basic statements of fact.

C. WE KNOW IT’S ASTROTURFED

These planned acts of terror are coordinated and funded by leftist organizations, all with DEEP ties to the DNC, working in collusion directly with them in many instances. Here are a few examples:

From American Greatness:

The House Committee on Oversight and Reform is about to focus its investigative powers on Neville Roy Singham, the pro-China Marxist multimillionaire behind many of the destructive far-left demonstrations plaguing the United States in recent years.

The Committee is reportedly issuing a formal document request to Singham over his alleged financial support of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), an extremist Marxist group that has been helping to organize violent anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles and elsewhere.

As the main funder of The People’s Forum, Singham, 71, has also bankrolled the “Free Palestine” protests that erupted after 1,400 innocent Israelis were slaughtered by Hamas on October 7, 2023. The People’s Forum works closely with other organizations in Singham’s network, including PSL and the ANSWER Coalition, all of which have been involved in the anti-Israel protests and anti-ICE riots.

Donald Trump is telegraphing to the world that this is a paid, coordinated terrorist attack. These are not and have never been peaceful protests, despite the agit prop the engines of terror, DNC-programmed AI like Grok and ChatGPT, tell you.

Speaking to reporters on June 10, 4 days after the insurrection began, he said, “…by having the military, it de-escalates. These people are agitators, they’re troublemakers, I believe many of them are paid. I watched them breaking up the sidewalks with a big hammer, handing pieces of the concrete to other people.”

We will have far more on this in the follow-up report, should events warrant it (and they most likely will).

D. DEMOCRATS OPENLY SUPPORT INSURRECTION

But it’s not only the press and their AI terror machines; it’s also Democrats in government, elected Democrats like insurrectionist representative Nanette Barragan (D-CA), who spread the lie these were “mostly peaceful” protests inflamed by Federal agents. This, again, is a known lie intentionally told to get ICE agents killed. She accused those same agents of “targeting peaceful protesters.”

1. FORMER VP GOES INSURRECTIONIST– Kamala Harris, who might as well be an AI program, fueled violent rage amongst her brownshirt stormtroopers. She openly and knowingly lied to the American public, claiming Trump was “stoking fear,” and saying “the demonstration in defense of our immigrant neighbors have been overwhelmingly peaceful.”

The most recent Presidential candidate of the DNC just openly committed acts of treason and terror against the republic, yet she remains free to this day in part because of the Bondi effect, the presence of compromised collusionists and leftist agent, Pam Bondi, the feckless Attorney General of the United States.

2. KAREN BASS TREASON – Perhaps the most damning is the actions of Marxist LA Mayor Karen Bass (we did a report on her Marxist past in a previous MIA). She DEMANDED ICE agents stop their operations and characterized their actions as unconstitutional, as being a violation of states’ rights (as if states have a right to unleash terrorists on the people and prevent them from defending themselves against said terrorists).

She then committed high acts of treason and terrorism, knowingly spreading the violence-inciting lie that ICE agents were to blame for the violence. She said, “If immigration raids had not happened here, we would not have the disorder. It is peaceful now (it wasn’t, riots were going on AS she shared this statement), but we do not know where and when the next raids will be!”

Again, she is free because Pam Bondi, a compromised woman, a traitor herself, is the Attorney General, holding the line for her DNC bosses.

3, GAVIN NEWSOM NUKES AMERICA– Karen Bass’s betrayal of Americans in her city is bad enough, but what about the governor of the state? That governor is another insurrectionist, Gavin Newsom, the man who signed a bill into law that makes it illegal for parents to prevent their children from being chemically castrated if a pedophile teacher grooms them to think they’re in the wrong body.

That “law” alone should get every politician arrested, charged, and convicted of child endangerment and child grooming, to start.

Newsome’s response to the justified putting down of insurrectionist terror was to threaten to essentially leave the Union. He declared, “Californians pay the bills for the federal government. We pay over $80 billion more in taxes than we get back. Maybe it’s time to cut that off, @realDonaldTrump.”

Again, because Pam Bondi, a compromised woman, a traitor, is the DA, Gavin Newsom has not been arrested for openly rebelling against the republic and threatening insurrection at a state-wide scale.

For the record, Border Czar Tom Homan has denied that either Bass or Newsom have crossed the line. I sense he knows they did, but Bondi is holding him back.

4. DNC HOUSE LEADER’S DEATH THREATS TO ICE – The cherry on top of all of this, though, is the response from Hakeem Jeffries, who openly threatened, or rather PROMISED, to dox every ICE agent and bring them to account for obeying the law and defending the republic from its current number one existential threat and insurrectionist enemy from within, the Democratic Party.

He declared, “This is not the Soviet Union. We’re not behind the Iron Curtain. This is not the 1930s, and every single one of them, no matter what it takes, no matter how long it takes, will, of course, be identified. That, in fact, is the law.”

He is essentially threatening not only to murder ICE agents, but he’s also threatening their families as well. Pam Bondi, meanwhile, is busy throwing more Epstein evidence into the bonfire under her desk.

The Democrats’ Hispanic Caucus officially tweeted their support of those acts of high treason in collusion with America’s foreign enemies, tweeting out, “We are keeping tabs, and we will have accountability” in response to the death threats made by the Democrats’ top person in the U.S. House.

PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS

We started off with a zeitgeist-changing image of a working-class Mom (who happens to be black) being blocked from being able to provide for her daughter because entitled white people decided the immigrant child was more important than the American child.

What is playing out here is a fundamental paradigm shift from the left’s previously dominant one. That paradigm framed “truth” through the lens of arguably born traits, like being white, heterosexual, transgendered, black, etc.

The merits of the claims of conflicting parties were based on the status of the characteristics you were ostensibly born with (race, gender, sexual orientation) as well as the status of the nation you represent, with “Americanism” being the paradigm of evil, an indefensible evil born from white supremacism.

If you were black and defended Americanism, you were an Uncle Tom, White Adjacent, and, as Joe Biden claimed about blacks who didn’t vote for him, “you ain’t black.”

While the left has LONG been betraying American workers, its brand was still that it was the party of the people, the party of the workers, a lie that has been accepted long after it had any semblance of truth to it.

The “good guy” brand of the DNC was unshakeable, especially because their information terror machines, the criminal press, continued to spread lies that defended the party and concealed the truth that indicted it.

Now, with the intentional invasion of America by the DNC-CCP using foreign agents as their proxies, it is becoming increasingly difficult to deny what’s going on, not only because the information terror machines are losing their influence but because more and more Americans are encountering the brutal reality of the planvasion where they live, ESPECIALLY in the cities, the DNC’s own base.

Whatever coercive power the left can conjure to slow down their demise, it won’t, in the end, be enough to sustain the growing fury Americans are experiencing every day, especially the ones who were recently still voting Democrat, still believing this was not the party of the rich elites willingly murdering and destroying American agency not for the good of the working poor or middle class, but for the good of the elites who simple don’t want to compete with Americans anymore.

When the white man in the ICE protest video scoffed at the notion of being troubled that he might stop a black woman from going to “work,” the Democrat party died. They never cared about minorities, they never cared about the homosexuals, they could give two figs what happens to illegal immigrants, they only want to MANIPULATE psychopaths to get them to do their violent bidding, only to be discarded as well once they serve their purpose.

Hitler purged his nation of the very people that made it possible, the violent brown shirt thugs. He knew who the most psychotic and dangerous people were, the kind of people you first need to inspire to get them to murder your way to the top of the mountain. This lot will do the same thing. They will then be cut off because their handlers know when they’re done with the mutual enemies, the Americans, these same psychos will then turn on their handlers.

Perhaps, after this, some of those brown shirts will realize they are fighting against their own self-agency, surrendering their lives to child-sacrificing death cultists who feel as much contempt for them as they do for the Americans they’ve tricked them into hating and brutally assaulting.

Chaos may yet come. Disorder and disruption might be coming, but the war for the hearts and minds of Americans is over. You’ve taken our sacred elements, our flag, our name, our institutions, and you treated them like your playthings, like King Belshazzar did when he took God’s temple’s objects and used them as common wine glasses and playthings (Daniel 5).

Perhaps the Democrats should heed the warning Belshazzar received when he saw the writing on the wall, “MENE, MENE, TEKEL, and PARSIN.”

You have been measured and found wanting. Your Kingdom will be taken from you.

The question is, what will replace it? Will America be restored, or will one tyranny be replaced with another? As of right now, I’m betting on America, but the odds are still against overcoming the damage the left has done to this nation, beginning with the “Progressive Era.”

One thing for sure is this: America has learned it cannot be tolerant of intolerance. Tolerance is not acceptance; it’s an acceptance of your right to be wrong without violent consequences, not an acquiescence to your beliefs and ways (as the Democrats these past few decades have tried to make it, in open sedition against individual liberty American values).

Tolerance also doesn’t mean you stop speaking openly in opposition to others’ beliefs and ways. It just means you won’t try to destroy their lives because you disagree with them. But if your beliefs do not allow tolerance, then your beliefs should not be tolerated.

Leftism is an ideology that assumes the social is the only real, and there is an ideal that social experts can discover, an ideal social that justifies violence against wrongthink for the good of the whole.

It is anathema to Americanism, which is rooted in the idea that individuals have a right to be self-stewards of their own pursuit of their own defined happiness so long as they respect the rights of others to do the same. Leftism can never tolerate Americanism, for its lies are destroyed every time in any society that can openly challenge them. It can’t even deny the truth that a female adult human is a woman, and NO ONE ELSE IS!

The emerging question must be, what do we do about the left without destroying the self-stewardship rights of others? We cannot tolerate their intolerance, but how do we determine exactly what ideas are intolerant?

If America survives, it will be left to the next generation to test and work out how the republic can criminalize intolerant thought without criminalizing tolerant thought as well.
