Prescott, AZ February 22, 2025…

Since the end of the Civil War, the creeping expansion of the national government has been usurping power from the people and the states. Key events in history have facilitated that inexorable expansion: Civil War Reconstruction, WWI, Jeckel Island and the birth of the Fed, FDR and the decision to let Pearl Harbor happen to justify entry into WWII, the birth of the WPA, the establishment of the IC —intelligence community— President Eisenhower warned us of, and then the Cold War external focus, turn inward on American citizens and the abrogation of the People’s civil rights.

Project Mockingbird…

The revelation that USAID was funding propaganda shops like Politico was little more than confirmation that Mike Benz was right over the target. When media shops like Politico, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, NYT, and WaPo shout about their free press First Amendment protection, the question arises: What about when you are paid by the government, basically as a contractor, to do what the government is forbidden to do, interfering with the First Amendment protections of the people themselves?

Using the now disgraced AP Style Guide, a professional propaganda artist’s very own rules for radicals (no, not Saul Alinsky’s version, but close), Big Media sought to malign every good American who stood up for public safety, education, children and family values and tear down the very institutions that once protected us all. It is no longer a curiosity that simultaneously, they all spouted the exact same message on the exact same day, hour, and minute, maligning and slandering election fraud affirmers who had evidence as election deniers. It goes on even today. I, for one, never denied we had an election; albeit corrupt, we did have a simulation that, for all appearances, looked like an election.

Then along comes a guy who calls out fake media and says he will shrink government, hold the bureaucracy accountable, and restore civil liberties that have been diminished over time. And what happens? The full fury of the bureaucratic state is unleashed to prevent all three objectives. Let’s not forget that the Constitution of the United States was established in order “to form a more perfect union,” not a perfect union. Nobody will argue that we as a nation are not perfect, but when the People are given reliable, verifiable information (not verified by fake ‘fact checkers’), the body politic does indeed help drive change. The Constitution of the United States, and indeed the Constitutions of all the sister states, exists to restrain government, not to restrain the People. Bureaucrats and even some elected officials seem to forget that.

The purpose of government is to protect the civil rights of the People!

While claiming to be the party of the civil rights movement, over the last three decades, Democrats have run roughshod over the civil rights of the People and the States at an ever-increasing level. Projection has been the name of the game, and it is a proven propaganda tool, just like Ridicule and Hyperbole. In a twisted, sadistic way, the party that supported slavery and Jim Crow suddenly became the champion of the very people that it victimized leading up to the Civil War and through the 1960s and 70s, and not just south of the Mason-Dixon Line.

Fundamental transformation of America…

Then Chicago Politics arrived in Washington, D.C. As if D.C. wasn’t already corrupt enough, Barack Obama comes on the scene to “fundamentally transform America,” corrupting the very foundations of our society. But Obama was simply the capstone, LBJ launched the war on family with his Great Society move. Family values eroded, marriage redefined, inner-city family structure collapsed, and a significant shift away from God’s word concerning sexuality exploded.1

This table shows those who have been in control for so long. Take note; these are the same people who have said there was nothing they could do because the other guy was at fault. When DJT threatened to wipe all of that away, the very thought of reform sent a chill down the gelatinous “spine” of government bureaucracy.

The weaponization of government was supposed to be the coup de grâce of the American experience. The French phrase that means means "blow of mercy" or "stroke of grace.” It describes a final blow that ends suffering or puts an end to something. Hilary was supposed to usher in the New World Order and make America subservient to the world. Thankfully that did not happen.

They did not see DJT coming…

Donald J. Trump blindsided the fundamental transformation crowd. They did not take him seriously until it was too late, and they realized that the People were not buying the barrel of BS Barry, Hilary, and Joe were trying to peddle. The lies, deception, oppression, and self-dealing became visible to the People, and they wanted none of it.

Much to their chagrin, DJT began the Second Reconstruction era as quietly as he could, he examined the federal government from the inside. DJT 1.0 sought to work with Washington leaders (some would say insiders) and a corrupt Congress filled with self-serving elites who make millions of dollars through insider trading, just like a developer from New York City would approach a mega-remodeling project. Then came the coup d'é·tat of January 6, 2021. The real crimes committed by bureaucrats, NGOs, and elected officials then are now coming to light, and the list of people and crimes is nothing short of epic. So what is DJT 2.0 to do?

Now comes the post-Democrat Reconstruction era.

As President Trump embarks on the post-Democrat Reconstruction of the Federal government, it is important to consider that while the machine attacked him from every direction, mostly illegal and unfounded court battles given top cover by a complicit media apparatus that promoted lies and deception as a matter of practice, he assembled a team of real experts to examine the structure and performance of the Federal bureaucracy. It is a massive undertaking that few in the business world could execute successfully, but then not everyone has the skills developed over decades like President Trump.

Every cabinet secretary has received long-thought-out directives that realign government business objectives to serve the interests of the People over special interests from within. Take, for example, the reduction in the workforce across all federal agencies. On Feb. 13, the administration ordered agencies to lay off nearly all probationary workers. The Office of Personnel Management reports that 220,000 federal employees had less than a year on the job as of March 2024. But they are not the root of the problem.
