After Musk obtained Twitter, he didn’t keep the corporate-government collusion he discovered going. He exposed it. He showed America how the administrative state directed Twitter to lie to Americans about the origins of the weaponized coronavirus and the efficacy and safety of the vaccine. He ended the practice of censoring and deplatforming users for correcting the falsehood that men can be women. The Twitter Files told us why the company kicked the President of the United States off the platform—and a myriad of other authoritarian actions. The revelations told us that what we had been told was “conspiracy theory” was instead pattern recognition.
Now, thanks to the installation of DOGE in the Executive, Musk has scaled up the project to expose corporate-government collusion to disseminate ideology detrimental to truth and normality (Victims of Their Own Design: DOGE and Progressive Panic). Elon’s “goon squad” is showing the world what I have known for years, that the corporate media is a propaganda organ of the project of managed decline of the American Republic and to advance the transnationalization of corporate power. Musk knows that if the light of America goes out, then the world loses the greatest beacon for freedom it has ever known. Trump knows this, too. The cavalry has arrived and progressives are in full meltdown over it.
Last night on Facebook, I posted that elites are terrified at the prospect of their schemes seeing the light of day and the public understanding how the system works. I wasn’t speculating. You might have wondered why the mainstream media is so drenched in gender ideology, globalism, identity politics, and open borders. Why it’s so anti-American and anti-family. Now you know. It’s because, in part, the administrative state, long ago captured by progressives, gives pipers like Politico millions of tax dollars to play their tune.
When Trump called the apparatus “fake news” establishment pundits said he was undermining the legitimacy of the Fourth Estate. No, the Fourth Estate delegitimized itself. It is likely that it was never legitimate. Trump hit the nail on the head, and he wanted to make sure Americans know this because, as an outsider to establishment power, but one who had as a celebrity been allowed to see the apparatus from the inside, he knew how and why the power elite works the levers of mass consciousness and would undermine the populist-nationalist movement—the movement to reclaim and restore the American Republic, to wake us from a long national nightmare.
Opposing the practice of government agencies using our tax dollars to fund the propaganda that undermines our families and our nation for the sake of the transnationalist agenda, that portrays white working class Americans as oppressors, and casts the West and normality as the root cause of the world’s problems is a natural reaction, but people can only fully have their natural reactions if they know what’s going on. The power elites have had us paying for our own demise and progressives are desperate to keep that fact from the public. They know that it’s only going to get uglier the more rocks Musk turns over.
The corporate state has now moved aggressively to thwart the awakening. In a late Wednesday filing, Justice Department lawyers agreed to a proposed order that would largely prevent the Treasury Department from sharing sensitive financial data with DOGE. Under the agreement, two individuals linked to Musk, employed by the Treasury Department, will retain access to sensitive information, but on a “read-only” basis. If approved by the district judge overseeing the case, the agreement will remain in effect until February 24, when both sides will return to court to argue over a longer-term preliminary injunction. Earlier, Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly had issued an ultimatum following arguments over DOGE’s access to sensitive Treasury records: either the DOJ and the federal unions that filed the lawsuit agree to a temporary injunction blocking DOGE’s access, or the court would reconvene on Friday to determine whether to issue a temporary restraining order.
In a rear-guard action, exploiting panel rules to delay the vote, Senate Democrats on the Judiciary Committee postponed its consideration of Kash Patel’s nomination to lead the FBI until next week. Patel’s nomination was on the committee’s agenda today. Democrats exercised their right to request a one-time, one-week delay. A similar move was made last month regarding Attorney General Pam Bondi’s nomination. Democrats stall nominees for time to build faux-popular resistance to the confirmation process. Don’t fret too much. Patel is expected to receive a committee vote from Republicans next Thursday, as well as the floor vote. But don’t take anything for granted.

My social media feeds—especially Facebook and X—are nonstop pandemonium from freaked out rank-and-file progressives who sit at the terminal watching their hegemony fracturing. No doubt they are buoyed by the lawfare action—there are many more to come—by federal bureaucrat to retain their power. I get why losing their power must feel like an existential crisis. Technocrats depend on keeping democracy at bay. It’s not just that their power is evaporating; their entire worldview is being shattered by the truth. They have no real legitimacy—and without legitimacy, authority is exposed as naked power. However, even if progressives retake that power, tens of millions of more Americans now know what going on. The people see the plans progressives have for America. They see that the populists and their leaders have been right all along They now see that the plans of the power elite will end the republic they love.
The Trump administration cannot allow lawfare to stymy their work. I suspect the concession is strategic. I hope it is, because they need to find all the pools of money scattered across the agencies they’ve secretly used to fund the propaganda apparatus. They must defund that apparatus and deconstruct the administrative state and dismantle the technocracy. While they’re at it, cut loose NPR and PBS. No more state-run media. That’s just to beginning. They have to go after the Department of Education and the other agencies and departments that are scrambling the public mind. They need to make this the beginning of the end of the corporate state. Trump only has four years. The blitzkrieg is necessary. Contact the White House and tell them to not let up. Not that I think they will, but President Trump needs to know that the nation is behind the project to make America great again.
