The Constitution says, “The executive Power shall be vested in a president of the United States of America.” No administrative power was given to either the Judicial, (especially not independent judges—non-existent at the time) or Legislative branches. There exist only one person elected by every citizen voting in the United States and that is the President. He executes the laws of the land as passed by the Legislative Branch. No unelected bureaucrat or district judge has ANY independent authority This was upheld until recent times. (Article II, Section I).
Trump signed Executive Order 14215 entitled, “Ensuring Accountability for all Agencies,” Feb. 18, 2025, restoring ALL executive power under the president of the U.S. as it was pre 1935. It argues that under Franklin Delano Roosevelt this authority had been “scattered between independent boards, commissions and agencies that have proliferated since the Roosevelt administration.” With 443 government agencies such is necessary for the government “to be truly accountable to the American people.” This power “must be supervised and controlled by the people’s elected president.”
By the early 1970’s the federal government had become so big and sprawling that the Deep State, then called the Establishment, desired a different system to disperse the funded money authorized and originating “in the House of Representatives“(U. S. Constitution, Article I, Section 7, Clause 1). Normally Congress paid little attention to the money once allocated. They had previously, in 1913, allowed the Federal Reserve System (a private corporation) to create money on demand, debt they then repaid by their inflated currency. It seemed to work for everyone not on a fixed income—retirees mostly, who would soon die anyway.
On November 3, 1961 the Deep State, again then called the Establishment, pushed for even more control over allocation by creating the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Congress’s allocated money would go to it and be distributed by it. A portion—gradually even a majority of it—could go to any cause they liked that had not been approved by Congress— so long as the cause voted on by the House got some of the money. The money spawned Non-Government Organizations (NGOs). Some NGOs were members of Congress whose loyalty could be rewarded by kickbacks. It became self propelling—they proposed and pushed the legislation. That is believed to have made many members of Congress millionaires on public servant salaries—especially Democrats as they saw federal gift giving as enticements, thus recruitments, to their party. Mostly they funded themselves and their left of center causes.
Two things inhibited their intended total control, the Gold Standard, which they were pleased to have Richard Nixon remove in 1974, and an uncontrolled U.S. president as he could, discover their fraud and veto USAID payments to unworthy causes as President Trump and Elon Musk are now doing. The Deep State’s answer to this possibility was The Empowerment and Control Act of 1974. They saw power in the administrational dispersement, after Congress’s allocation, and wanted that removed from the president to themselves. They succeeded until Donald Trump.
President Trump wants this act revoked and the power presidents had prior to 1934 restored to the Executive Branch as was followed our first 146 years. Until then, in keeping with his oath to preserve and defend the Constitution, he is creating a constitutional crises through executive orders constitutionally cancelling billions of dollars going to causes never actually approved by Congress as stipulated in Article I, Section 7, Clause I.
His Executive Order 14215 entitled, “Ensuring Accountability for all Agencies,” Feb. 18, 2025, restores ALL executive power under the president of the U.S. as it was pre 1935. It argues that under Franklin Delano Roosevelt this authority had been “scattered between independent boards, commissions and agencies that have proliferated since the Roosevelt administration.” All is returned under the management of the White House. Such is necessary for the government “to be truly accountable to the American people.” This power “must be supervised and controlled by the people’s elected president” (X22 Report, Ep. 3576b, Feb. 19, 2025, 45:00).
How many federal agencies are there? Forbes counted 443, most of which are controlled by the Deep State, not the president with his executive authority given him by the Constitution (“How Many Federal Agencies Exist? We Can’t Drain The Swamp,” By Clyde Crews Jr., July 5, 2017). Most of these under FDR and since are difficult to justify constitutionally as written and most originated after 1971 when Richard Nixon took us off the gold standard.
Nobody yells louder then Senator Elizabeth Warren about what Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, is finding in its government audits. The adage, “He who yells the loudest has the most to lose,” may come true for her. Senator Warren’s annual salary as a public servant is $285,000, yet her net worth is $67 million. She never ran a business, nor produced or manufactured anything. DOGE reports, almost 160,000 civil service employees are now millionaires up from fewer than 70,000 when Biden took office four years ago.
Trump’s Executive Order reads in part, “All executive departments and agencies including, so-called independent agencies shall submit for review all propose and significant regulatory action to the office of Information and Regulatory Affairs within the Executive Office of the President before publication in the Federal Register. ‘The White House, not the agencies, not the Deep State swamp creatures, will provide interpretation of the law. This in particular is going to stop agencies like the EPA from using their interpretation of law, to increase their regulatory power.’ The President and the Attorney General, subject to the President’s supervision and control, shall provide authoritative interpretations of the law for the Executive Branch. The President and the Attorney General’s opinion on questions of law are controlling on all employees in the context of their official duties. No employee of the Executive Branch, acting in their official capacity, may advance an interpretation of the law as the position of the United States that contravenes the President or the Attorney General’s opinion on a matter of law, including, but not limited to, issuance of regulations guidance, and position advance in litigation, unless authorized to do so by the President, or in writing by the Attorney General.”
Translation. “Trump has promptly and fundamentally changed the Executive Branch as it has existed since 1935 in the last month to how it existed from 1789 to 1934, for 146 years. Trump just wiped out 90 years of the Deep State system.” The president is once again in charge of ALL federal agencies. Now none of these swamp creatures can make decisions or authorize anything without his say so. And he is draining the swamp. Formerly the Deep State had taken away presidential power by the Empowerment and Control Act. of 1974. Congress will need to remove that unconstitutional legislation which is likely to follow (X22 Report, Ep. 3576b, 2/19/ 2025, 45:00). Once done they will no longer control the flow of money to a myriad of harmful activities to this country and the world without presidential consent like funding gain-of-function research or illegal immigration.

Joe Biden is expected to bring in at least 15 million unlawful aliens before his term ends. The Biden illegal alien avalanche invasion, starting as a million a month, has accelerated doubling that, to “about 2 million people—from every country on earth—are entering through the US Southern border every year.” It’s killing the economy! In one day more than 8,000 migrants were apprehended at US border (“Biden’s Hope to make Caucasians a Permanent Minority in the United States,” LibertyUnderFire.org, Sept. 2023). Let’s restructure the Democrat Party from these beholding invaders lined up for food stamps, housing, social security, and soon medical benefits—endless “free” taxpayer-funded services—and become the permanent political party.
Illegal immigration is costing major cities billions potentially bankrupting them. Endless free taxpayer-funded services and jobs are going to illegals instead of to largely Democrat residents turning them from their own party. Ironically Trump’s Wall cost $15.8 billion in steel, mortar and labor costs–with supplies to finish it. Biden’s unlawful resettlement has cost over $20 billion and it hasn’t paid for a single brick or steel rod to end the problem.
Overwhelmed southern border states forced to forward the hordes to northern cities and states who are now also overwhelmed, reached the breaking point. The Democrat solution to the problem is more of the same under their Schumer-Lankford Border Deal limiting the illegals coming in to 5,000 per day but with work permits and legal status, preparatory for voting in 2024. All this on a border that was just three years ago more secure under the Trump Administration, largely by his building a wall, than at any time in our history.
In self defense Texas governor Greg Abbott finally invoked Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution authorizing his state militia (National Guard) to seize “control of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, (city property where mass illegal crossings are), and is restricting the Border Patrol from accessing the area, saying the feds ‘perpetuate illegal crossings,’ the State has taken control over this area. Texas has deployed armed soldiers and vehicles to block the federal government from accessing the river ‘in Eagle Pass.’” (X22 Reports, hereafter not cited, Ep. 3256b, Jan. 12, 2024, 16:03).
The constitutional provision Abbott cited reads . “No State shall…[a list of activities reserved to the federal government follows] unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of Delay.” THESE EXTREME NUMBERS ARE AN INVASION. Texas also could have cited Article 4, Section 4, “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion.”
Biden is violating this clause in two places. First, “a Republican Form of Government” necessitates a Republic. Biden intentionally placed people illegally in the country, who in gratitude are likely to vote for his party because he let them in, even giving them a free ride to a starting place. Doing so gives his party the edge in elections which damages the required “Republican Form of Government.” Second, obviously Biden is not protecting each state “against Invasion,” but, instead, leading the invasion he is supposed to be protecting the states from. More so when he is using the military to assist the invaders in transporting inland.
And Biden violated the Constitution in two other places as well. In his oath of office He “promises to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Unites States” (Article II, Section 1, Clause 8.), that means upholding it on immigration law. And in Article II, Section 3, the president promises to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,…”—that means existing immigration law. Also, only Congress and governors, (not the President), can call “for the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union suppress Insurrections and repel invasions;” which Biden is violating by attempting to control state militias, now thought to be national guards, (Article I, Section 8, Clause 15). Consequently, 25 states have joined Texas in her efforts to close her border, many committing their national guards as well.
On unlawful immigration alone Biden and his Party are violating several key parts of the Constitution. But the Constitution does allow the state to have its own militia, now called the National Guard, to secure their own borders when the federal government refuses to do so, as Texas is now doing and 25 state governors are supporting.
Current immigration law is Title 8 U.S Code 1324, and has no sympathizing for Americans breaking it. Accomplices are “defined as anyone knowingly encouraging, assisting, transporting, concealing, harboring, or shielding from detection an illegal immigrant.” Anyone who “engages in any conspiracy to commit any of the preceding acts, or aids or abets the commission of any of the preceding acts,” is punishable for up to 10 years for each person assisted or activity. How many years would Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and others encouraging or assisting the caravans of thousands coming up and into the United States get under just law—many life-times?
But what is a state’s recourse when its chief executor, Joe Biden and the Democrats Party openly defy established immigration law, engage in human trafficking of illegals into the interior, and refuse the primary duties of his office to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution and “To take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed…?” We answered that in, “If the Executive Branch Refuses to Protect America, the States Must,” (LibertyUnderFire.org, Oct. 2021). A state with Biden opposition cannot order federal agencies to protect it from an invasion, but it can use the state militia without his authority, which is what Texas is doing. The militia is not the army. It is the people, the citizens, and existed in the 2nd Continental Congress, even before the Constitution. The militia was defined as every able bodied male 17 years of age and older.
Optics are wonderful. The border is the #1 issue for most Americans in the 2024 election. Half the states are standing against this Deep State tyranny. “The only time Joe Biden takes action on the invasion is to block states from stepping in” (Ep. 3265b, January 23, 2024, 19:59). America sees this. If Biden fights Texas, he loses. If Biden stops the invasion, it shows that he could have done so earlier. “The federal government is on the verge of outright war with Texas +25 governors, in order to open up the border for invaders.” Their attempt to change the population vote through illegal immigration is election interference and undermines the vote of every citizen. The enemies of this Republic want foreigners to choose our next president rather than “We the People” as the Constitution mandates. In this Democrats are destroying themselves.

Few realize that New England’s first form of government under the Pilgrims was communalism (socialism) where “each produced according to his ability and each received according to his needs,” applied in practice more than two centuries before Karl Marx first penned the above quote. The result, “share the wealth,” then and now was, and always will lead to shared poverty.
Socialism made strong men lazy!!
William Bradford, Plymouth colony’s governor its first 30 years, wrote of the agreement between the 102 Pilgrim Mayflower passengers and the financial “Adventurers” in his book Of Plymouth Plantation. He noted that the seven-year contract signed July 1, 1620, before leaving Plymouth England, stipulated that the Pilgrims were to pool, for common benefit, “all profits and benefits that are got by trade, traffic, trucking, working, fishing, or any other means of any person or persons…” It further noted “that at the end of the seven years, the capital and profits, viz. the houses, lands, goods and chattels, be equally divided betwixt the Adventurers and Planters…”
During this time the colonists were to “have their meat, drink, apparel, and all provisions out of the common stock and goods of the said colony.” It doesn’t get more socialistic than this because the government divvied out the goods and loafers received the same as those who worked.
The first two years the result was shortages and starvation. Half the colonists died. No one did more than the minimal because the incentive to excel was destroyed by the contract. The industrious were neutralized. Bradford wrote of the scarcity of food “no supply was heard of, neither knew they when they might expect any.” The contract, Bradford added, “was found to breed much confusion and discontent and retard much employment that would have been to the benefit and comfort. For the young men, that were most able and fit for labour and service, did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men’s wives and children without any recompense….”
In other words, socialism made strong men lazy. Bradford spoke of another problem because of the government created famine—thievery. Even in this Christian community, “much was stolen both by night and day….” to alleviate the prevailing condition of hunger.
The “feast” of the first Thanksgiving did fill their bellies briefly, and they were grateful, but abundance was anything but common. Harvests were not bountiful in that year nor the next. Why did this happen? Because they had fallen victim to the socialistic philosophy of “share the wealth.” This dis-incentivized the productive base of society.
After two years of such, with the survival of the colony at stake, they contemplated upon “how they might raise as much corn as they could, and obtain a better crop than they had done, that they might not still thus languish in misery.” They opted to abandon the incentive killing socialist contract in favor of the free market. And so they “assigned to every family a parcel of land, according to the proportion of their number, for that end….”
The effects were almost immediate. A delighted Governor Bradford wrote: “This had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been by any means the Governor … could use, and saved him a great deal of trouble, and gave far better content. The women now went willingly into the field, and took their little ones with them to set corn; which before would allege weakness and inability; whom to have compelled would have been thought great tyranny and oppression.”
Postcard depiction. Only half of the 102 who boarded the Mayflower survived the first two years.
Then suddenly, as though night changed to day, the crop of 1623 was bounteous, and those thereafter as well, and it had nothing to do with the weather. Bradford wrote, “Instead of famine now God gave them plenty and the face of things was changed, to the rejoicing of the hearts of many, for which they blessed God.” He concluded later, “any general want or famine hath not been amongst them since to this day.” One variable alone made the difference and ended the three-year famine. They abandoned the notion of government (or corporation) owning the means of production and distribution in favor of the individual having property and being responsible to take care of himself. Before, no one benefited by working because he received the same compensation as those who did not. After the change everyone kept the benefits of his labor. Those who chose not to work basically chose also to be poor and the government (corporation) no longer confiscated from those who produced to give to those who did not.
In other words, the free market (capitalism) is a much greater stimulus than governmental force. The Pilgrims now wished to work because they got to keep the benefits of their labor.
Secure property rights are the key to prosperity for all who wish to work. When this right is threatened by confiscatory taxation or outright confiscation of property, or by excessive government rules and regulations governing such, whether planned as in a contract enforced by the government at Plymouth, or gradual as in our day, work and production slow and can eventually stop. The answer for them was to extricate socialism immediately from their midst, as it is for us today as well. May we have the wisdom to do so.

In 2015 then-Vice President Joe Biden explained what he viewed as the ideal immigration policy for America. “An unrelenting stream of immigration NON STOP. NON STOP. Folks like me who are caucasian or European descent for the first time in 2017 we’ll be an absolute minority in the United States of America. ABSOLUTE MINORITY!! Fewer than 50% of the people in America—from then and on—will be white European stock. That’s not a bad thing. That’s the source of our strength” (“Tucker plays Biden in 2015 celebrating ‘unrelenting stream’ of migrants to make whites a minority in US,” By Jon Dougherty, September 23, 2021).
This is an actual view of your country being invaded. Recently, not pictured, more than 8,000 illegals were apprehended at the US border in one day. “Promising the poorest people on the planet that they can have endless free, taxpayer-funded services if they show up and break your laws isn’t just stupid. It’s suicidal,” said Tucker Carlson.
This was the Democrat Party’s immigration policy under Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton was expected to follow with the same. Biden could not have expected that he, more than they, would open the flood gates himself fulfilling his dream. “Promising the poorest people on the planet that they can have endless free, taxpayer-funded services if they show up and break your laws isn’t just stupid. It’s suicidal,” said Tucker Carlson. The Democrat plan was little more than granting illegals citizenship to replace “native-born Americans who do not vote for their party.” In time the Democrats could create a super majority of grateful obedient followers who would keep them in power indefinitely. Biden’s suggestion that “non-white DNA is the source of our strength” smacks of racism—even worse, eugenics (Ibid.).
On the surface the Deep State Plan under Biden is having enormous success. He is expected to bring in at least 15 million illegal aliens before his term ends. The Biden illegal alien avalanche invasion, starting as a million a month, has accelerated doubling that. “About 2 million people—from every country on earth—are entering through the US Southern border every year,” according to Elon Musk who spent time at the border last week (X22 Reports, hereafter not cited, Ep. 3170b, Sept 22, 2023, 29:31).. How bad is it? Charlie Kirk reported, “This is a live look at your country being invaded….More than 8,000 migrants apprehended at US border in one day” (Ep. 3171b, Sept 24 2023, 15:34). This is obviously a highly coordinated invasion. Illegals coming in under Biden are said to “outnumber populations of 15 entire states” (Ep. 3170b, Sept 22, 2023, 29:50). “More than half of voters consider it likely that next year’s election could be decided by illegal immigrants voting” (“Could Voting by Illegal Immigrants Shift 2024 Election?,” Rasmussen Reports, September 28, 2023).
Worse, once in the United States illegals stay. House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan reported, “More than 99% of illegal aliens released by the Biden Administration between Jan 20, 2021, and March 31, 2023 remain in America” (Ep. 3182b, Oct. 9, 2023, 19:04). Biden is not sending any back.
Democrats also want to give American jobs to the illegals. “U.S. offers work permits to half a million Venezuelans already in the country.” But the end goal is to have them vote not just take our jobs. “Biden Admin. to give illegal immigrants photo ID’s inches closer to reality” where they can work, vote and stay (The Daily Caller, Ep 3169b, Sep. 21, 2023, 19:00).
But under the surface the story is turning off Americans—even the Democrats. Rasmussen asked voters, “The spending bill passed by Congress does not include any money to secure the U.S. border against illegal immigration. Would you support or oppose Congress passing a bill to secure the U.S. border?” Support Democrats 65%; Independents 77%; and GOP 81%. All voter’s 74% (Ep. 3182b, Oct. 9, 2023, 15:59). Rasmusson also asked, “Should illegal immigrants be allowed to vote in U.S. elections?” Yes/No: Dems 23%/66%; IND. 9%/84; GOP 5%/93%. All Voters 13%/80%” (Ep. 3175b, Sept. 28, 2023, 51:47). Even most Democrats do not approve of using illegals to cheat in the 2024 presidential election.
Chicago, which voted 96% for Biden, is “begging local politicians to close the borders of Chicago to stop illegals coming from Texas” (Ep. 3167b, Sept. 19, 2023, 28:15). Why? Being a sanctuary city with open arms to all humanity is quite different when you are a thousand miles away and they’re not taking your jobs and welfare services and, in the case of New York City, your motels. “NYC is gearing up to pay over $1,000,000,000 (billion) on just hotels over the next 3 years to house illegal immigrants.” But that’s just the hotel costs. NYC Mayor Eric Adams estimates the total cost of the migrant crisis will be about $12B over the next 3 years. “We are past our breaking point,” he said. “With more than 57,300 individuals currently in our care on an average night, it amounts to $9.8 million a day. Almost $300 million a month and nearly $3.6 billion a year” (“NYC is gearing up to pay over $1,000,000,000 (billion ) on just hotels over the next 3 years to house illegal immigrants,” by Lenox Hill, Nextdoor Daily Digest, Sept. 27, 2023).
Mass deportations happened under previous presidents and under Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1954-55. His was called Operation Wetback. It can and will happen again under Trump. Please come in the front door fully vetted. Those then and those today “breaking in” realize that coming in any other way is a crime and deportation, even mass deportation as depicted above, is the penalty for breaking the law.
But it is not just Chicago and New York City that are suffering from this bankrupting policy. Kevin McCarthy noted, “Democrat Governors of New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts are declaring emergencies and telling illegal immigrants “to go somewhere else.” He concluded, “Biden’s failed border policies have turned every community in America into a border city” (Ep. 3171b. Sept 24 2023, 19:34).
Since this is an invasion the military has been tracking those crossing the border illegally but that is a story for another column. In Summerville, South Carolina Trump said, “I will begin the largest deportation operation in American history first day as president” (Ep. 3173b, Sept. 26, 2023, 28:15). Trump wants to do as Presidents Herbert Hoover, Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower did when they were confronted with illegal entry violations. Eisenhower’s, 1954—55, Operation Wetback was the most extensive resulting in perhaps 2 million deportations. Trump’s will be much larger and will be aided by the military, again because it is an orchestrated invasion.

In America it is the Deep State vs. the Patriots. In the world it is the globalists New World Order, as presently displayed by the Great Reset, vs. the sovereignty of individual counties. It is individual liberty or collective slavery. No one is immune nor escapes the consequences of the outcome.
For Ukraine this war began early as a civil war under U.S. supervision in February 2014. In the disarray of war, the State Department led by Hillary Clinton and the CIA took full control ushering in a regime change led by Victoria Nuland, Assistant Secretary of State. Volodymyr Zelensky is their most recent Deep State puppet.
Objecting to the new American puppet government’s presence on its border, the 13 American built bio-labs near it, and the installed Ukrainian government’s intention to join NATO (the former military alliance to the once existing USSR in the Cold War Era), Russia attacked the labs on Feb. 24, 2022. Since then, America has become the lead funder, and the European Union the second, for the resultant war. As Biden arms Ukraine, China’s XI arms Putin ever widening and upping the scale of armament as the world watches; first the tanks, next likely the nukes.
Objecting to the new American puppet government’s presence on its border, the 13 American built bio-labs near it, and the American installed Ukrainian government’s intention to join NATO (the former military alliance to the once existing USSR in the Cold War Era), Russia attacked the labs on Feb. 24, 2022.
In the meantime substantial evidence is mounting that last September the Biden Administration blew up Russia’s Nord Stream Pipelines—an act of war (“The Predicted Scare Event is war with Russia,” Harold Pease, LibertyUnderFire, Sept., 30 2022). “Now China and Germany, join Russia and demand an Investigation into Biden’s Connections with Nord Stream 2 Pipeline Sabotage,” (Joe Hoft, Gateway Pundit, Feb. 16, 2023). The Biden Administration is opposed to any investigation, independent or otherwise, insisting Russia blew up her own pipelines.
Donald Trump, the only president in decades that did not start a war somewhere on the globe, and who is probably the most trusted world leader because he didn’t, recently put out a video describing the seriousness of the present conflict. It follows in full:
“World War III has never been closer than it is right now. We need to clean house of all of the war mongers and America last … list, and the Deep State, the Pentagon, the State Department, and the National Security industrial complex.
“One of the reasons I was the only president in generations who didn’t start a war is that I was the only president who rejected the catastrophic advice of many of Washington’s generals, bureaucrats, and the so called diplomats who only know how to get us into conflict, but they don’t know how to get us out. For decades we’ve had the very same people such as Victoria Nuland, and many others just like her, obsessed with pushing Ukraine toward NATO, not to mention the State Department’s support for uprisings in Ukraine.
“These people have been seeking confrontation for a long time, much like the case in Iraq and other parts of the world, and now we’re teetering on the brink of World War III. And a lot of people don’t see it, but I see it and I’ve been right about a lot of things. They all say Trump’s been right about everything.
“None of this excuses in any way the outrageous and horrible invasion of Ukraine one year ago, which would have never happened if I was your president; not even a little chance. But it does mean that here in America we need to get rid of the corrupt globalist establishment that has botched every major foreign policy decision for decades. And that includes President Biden, whose own people said he’s never made a good decision when it comes to looking at other countries and looking at wars.
“I was the only president in generations who didn’t start a war.”
“We have to replace them with people who support American interests. Over our four years in the White House we made incredible progress in putting the America last contingent aside and bringing the world to peace. And now we’re going to complete the mission. The State Department, Pentagon and national security establishment will be a very different place by the end of my administration. In fact, just into my administration, it’ll be a very different place; and it’ll get things done just like I did four years ago. We never had it so good. We’ll also stop the lobbyists and the big defense contractors from going in and pushing our senior military and national security officials toward conflict, only to reward them when they retire with lucrative jobs getting paid millions and millions of dollars.
“Take a look at the globalist warmonger donors backing our opponents. That’s because they’re candidates of war. I am the president who delivers peace and its peace through strength. There was a reason we had no conflict. There was a reason we didn’t get into wars because other countries respected us. I entirely built, all right from the beginning, rebuilt our military. It’s a big reason for that. They didn’t want to mess around with the United States, and now they’re laughing at us.
“We could end the Ukraine conflict in 24 hours with the right leadership. At the end of my next four years the war mongers and frauds and failures of the senior ranks of our government will all be gone and we will have a new group of competent national security officials who believe in defending America’s vital interests above all else. Thank you very much” (X22 Reports , Ep. 3003b. Feb. 21, 2023:, 30:00-34:00).
Unfortunately the Deep State already has several containers with radioactive substances in place to contaminate a region close to Kiev in such a way as to blame Russia (Ep. 3002b, Feb. 20, 2023, 20:11). They seem way too anxious to let the nukes fly so World War III can bury their passed transgressions. The world desperately needs a peace maker—someone like Trump!

We live in a highly censored political world. Freedoms of speech and press are almost gone. We are struggling to keep the Constitution from Deep State annihilation. In light of this reality we are publishing the words of a recent video, “We are a Nation in Decline” by President Donald Trump which will be heavily censored by Deep State presses. It follows:
America is experiencing a free-fall of liberty under Democrat leadership. The Statue of Liberty consoles Uncle Sam. Two and a half more years and there will be no America as we knew it.
“We are a nation in decline. We are a failing nation. We are a nation that has the highest inflation in over 40 years where the stock market just finished the worst first half of the year in more than five decades. We are a nation that has the highest energy cost in its history. And we are no longer energy independent or energy dominant which we were just two short years ago. We are a nation that is begging Venezuela and Saudi Arabia for oil.
“We’re a nation that surrendered in Afghanistan leaving behind dead soldiers and American citizens and $85 billion worth of the finest military equipment in the world. We are a nation that allowed Russia to devastate a country—Ukraine—killing hundreds of thousands of people and it will only get worse.
“We’re a nation that has weaponized its law enforcement against the opposing political party like never before. We’ve never seen anything like this. We’re a nation that no longer has a free and fair press. Fake news is about all you get. We are a nation where free speech is no longer allowed, where crime is rampant like never before, where the economy has been collapsing, where more people died of COVID in 2021 than in 2020.
“We are a nation that is allowing Iran to build a massive nuclear weapon and China to use the trillions and trillions of dollars it’s taken from the United States to build a military to rival our power. We are a nation that over the past two years is no longer respected, or listened to, all around the world. And we are a nation that is hostile to liberty and freedom and faith. We are a nation whose economy is floundering whose stores are not stocked, whose deliveries are not coming and its educational system is ranked at the bottom of every list. We are a nation that in many ways has become a joke.
“But soon we will have greatness again. And its hard working patriots like you who built this country. And it is hard working patriots like you who are going to save our country. There is no mountain we cannot climb. There is no summit we cannot reach. There is no challenge we cannot keep. There is no victory we cannot have. We will not bend, we will not break. We will not yield ever—ever—ever. We will never give in, we will never give up, and we will never ever back down. We will never let you down as long as we are confident and united.
“The tyrants we’re fighting do not stand even a little chance because we are Americans and Americans kneel to God and God alone. And it is time to start talking about greatness for our country. The best is yet to come.”
Before we could get the words of this new video out, the decline amplified and Amendment 4, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated,” was. Trump’s home in Mar-A-Lago, Florida was raided by the FBI, August 8, 2022, at 6:00 a.m. If the government can raid the home of a president of the United States in the early morning hours they can raid yours. We also publish what Trump wrote about this raid in an effort to make certain citizens have access to these, likely censored, details. The FBI raid of Mar-A-Lago follows:
Trump not happy with FBI raid on Mar-A-Lago
“These are dark times for our nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida is currently under siege—raided and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before; after working and cooperating with relevant government agencies.
“This unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate. It is a prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the justice system and an attack by the radical left Democrats who definitely don’t want me to run for president in 2024, especially based on recent polls, and who will likewise do anything to stop Republicans and conservatives in the upcoming midterm elections.
“Such an assault could only take place in broken third world countries. Sadly, America has now become one of those countries, corrupt at a level not seen before.
“They even broke into my safe. What is the difference between this and Watergate? Where operatives broke into the Democratic National Committee? Here in reverse, Democrats broke into the home of the 45th President of the United States. The political persecution of the President has been going on for years with now the fully debunked Russia, Russia, Russia scam and between hoax number one, number two, and so much more. It just never ends. It is political targeting at the highest level.
“Hillary Clinton was allowed to delete and acid wash 33,000 emails AFTER they were subpoenaed by Congress. Absolutely nothing has happened to hold her accountable….
“I stood up to America’s bureaucratic corruption, I restored power to the people and truly delivered for our country—like we’ve never seen before. The establishment hated it. Now as they watch my endorsed candidates win big victories, and see my dominance in all polls, they’re trying to stop me and the Republican Party.”
