The Constitution is very clear, “The executive Power shall be vested in a president of the United States of America.” One, and only one, person elected by the whole nation in two ways—the people and also by the states through the Electoral College process. He, and those who serve with him, swear by oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.” He executes the laws of the land as passed by the Legislative Branch. All administrative authority come through this one person and through his office. Neither the elected Legislative Branch nor the non-elected Judicial Branch have administrative authority. No unelected bureaucrat or district judge has ANY independent authority
Under Biden judicial tyranny began almost immediately with his unlawful use of 1512(c)(2) “Obstruction of an Official Proceeding” in J6 cases that prosecuted 350 (plus) Americans for their participation in Jan. 6. This was a flagrant abuse of the law to punish those who protested Biden’s “election” thus criminalizing political dissent. The worst instance of judicial tyranny was Judge Tanya Chutkan, who put all 39 of her 39 J6 defendants behind bars. Judicial tyranny was experienced by candidate Trump when four different courts simultaneous indicted him in 2024 on different frivolous charges to destroy his candidacy for President. Now judicial tyranny is again being experienced as unelected district activist judges are blocking many of Trump’s administrative functions thus stealing his constitutional executive authority.
Yet it was the latter class that engineered the four, turns out, fake indictments against President Trump to destroy him in 2024. All America viewed those public displays of tyranny of the judiciary. Actually, they did much to elect Donald Trump.
Now district judges are coming out of the woodwork to thwart or destroy his sole administrative functions. Activist judges are stealing executive authority. These (mostly far-left Deep State judges) have blocked his cut off of federal funding to aid migrants entering the country illegally, his federal resignation plan of eight months advanced pay for those choosing to retire early, his audit access to Treasury’s and other departments vita data system to assess waste and fraud, his firing 2,000 USAID workers for funding un-American activities worldwide—even terrorists organizations, his NIH grant cuts which funded gain-of-function research, and his temporarily removing funding for some public health websites said to have weaponized the health industry.
An extreme case is Judge Amir Ali, a last November Biden appointee, who just ordered President Trump to release billions of foreign aid immediately (“Judge orders temporary reversal of Trump admin’s freeze on foreign aid,” By Bradford Betz, Fox News, February 13, 2025) Judge Ali has no authority to even advise the president on executive issues especially foreign aid—his position has no standing without perversion of the U.S. Constitution as written.
Currently there are 94 non-elected, appointed only, district court judges serving in 91 geographical districts. To think he, or any of the other district judges, has authority to restrict a president’s constitutional authority to govern the nation given him by the WHOLE country is beyond absurd. If 94 judges, each with their individual and varied political bias’ have authority to block the president of the United States we will never have an effective president or one that could curb the bureaucracy, the budget, or destroy the Deep State. These judges have effectively disarmed the executive branch of government something our Founders would have never tolerated. Yet they have poised themselves to block everything he advocates.
Elon Musk said it best, “If ANY judge ANYWHERE can block EVERY Presidential order EVERYWHERE, we do NOT have a democracy, we have Tyranny of the JUDICIARY.” (X, on X22 Report, Ep. 3582b, Feb. 26, 2025, 50:44). He added, “What is the point of having democratic elections if unelected judges can override the clear will of the people? Well, that’s no democracy at all. The only way to restore rule of the people in America is to impeach judges. No one is above the law judges” (Ibid., Ep. 3583b, Feb. 27, 2025, 52:36).
Musk, an admitted life-long voting Democrat until Trump, may not know that the Founding Fathers did not create a democracy, they universally opposed it. They created a republic, because the majority does not, and can not, protect minority rights. Minority is defined as less than the majority not by race. A lynch mob is a democracy. One has the right to defend himself even if he is the only one in the room who believes so. It’s base is upon natural law not numbers. The Bill of Rights is a list of rights demanded by the people—even FROM THE MAJORITY.
One has the right to defend himself from violence or otherwise, even if he is the only one in the room who believes so. The Bill of Rights is a list of rights demanded by the people—even FROM THE MAJORITY.
But Musk did provide a constitutional solution to the tyranny of the judiciary problem—impeachment. But that would be way too time consuming, look bad, and be divisive for the nation. It is much better to get the matter before the Supreme Court and have a single rule nation wide on existing judicial tyranny and its usurping of constitutional executive branch authority.
However we do not have to wait until the Supreme Court can rule or even until Congress can stand together against judicial tyranny, it is law already on the books. There exists a solution right now ready for Attorney General Pam Bondi to implement. “A single district judge has issued a ruling blocking the executive branch from access to Treasury data,” something vital for the Executive Branch to know to govern fiscally and prudently. “There’s a simple fix: DOJ should demand injunction bonds. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure, 65(c), judges can issue injunctions ‘only if’ the suing party post a bond to cover potential damages if they’re wrong. But …this rule is hardly used.… Frivolous lawsuits become a financial risk, not a free pass. The best part? This doesn’t block activists from court, it just stops them from using preliminary injunctions to pause government action based on arguments that might not hold up in an appellate court.” (Thepoliticsbrief.com, Dan Huff, Feb. 15, 2025. Also the kylebecker.com, Feb. 15, 2025).
The Constitution is supposed to protect the innocent. Love him, like him, only tolerate him, or hate him, no phrase in that document can justify what they did to Trump in 2024 nor gives a district judge ANY independent authority over the executive branch of the United States.

The Deep State knew that virtually none of their causes could be funded directly through the constitutional funding process, “All bills for raising revenue must begin in the House of Representatives,” because their shadow government is no way constitutional (U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 7). Congress does indeed raise the money under some general category, and a portion of it does go to the cause intended by them but too often much of it is actually laundered elsewhere as for example, hidden to the public, bio labs in Ukraine. Thus they created the USAID process now well known to fund their nefarious purposes. Hence, when Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency reported, “Did you know that USAID, using YOUR tax dollars, funded bioweapon research, including COVID-19, that killed millions of people?” It shocked the nation.
A 2017 photograph inside a Wuhan China lab. The same thing was happening in the bio labs built by the DOD in Ukraine with like experiments to artificially induce evolution known as gain of function. The problem with this is that in order to preemptively create the vaccines and study the pathogens, scientists essentially have to first create a bio weapon in the lab making these pathogen infections to humans. Creating killer viruses to humans that could escape the lab, as happened with COVID-19, is a crime against humanity and should merit the death penalty.
By way of review we now know that the USAID takes the money and when possible gives it to well connected Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs), they place it into a DAF (Donor-Advised Funds) to fund other NGOs. Reportedly, the Deep State can fund any cause they like, and do, without ANY further Congressional approval or real oversight.
One presumed member of the DOGE team, (pseudo named DataRepublican), explained it this way, “It’s important to understand that funding is fungible, meaning USAID dollars do not directly flow into these NGOs in a literal sense. Instead, the money moves through multiple layers, with various entities handling, and re-distributing it. For example, CEPPS [The Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening] receives substantial USAID funds for global initiatives, but ultimately channels much of it to partisan NGOs, rather than focusing solely on individual grants. It’s more important to recognize the pattern of funding distribution influence. Donor Advised Funds (DAF) are a big part of the equation” (X22 Report-hereafter not cited, Ep. 3565b, Feb. 6, 2025, 30:10). Eventually it goes through enough layers, diffused and reduced sufficiently (laundered) enough to go into favored individuals shell accounts as payoffs without being easily detected.” Is this how and why so many in government with public servant salaries became millionaires? (See, “Who is Receiving ‘Kick Backs’ from Non Government Organizations,” LibertyUnderFire.org, Feb. 19, 2025).
We go to Clandestine, an investigative reporter, for how this happened respecting taxpayers funding of COVID-19 as Elon Musk made known. In Deep State circles it was called PROJECT PREDICT. “Now that the world is keen to the USAID, it’s time to go over the big secret they are desperate to keep from the public—Project Predict. This is the USAID funded project that led to the creation of SARS-Covid-2 and the Covid pandemic. This is what Elon was alluding to.
“USAID PREDICT began in 2009, was carried out in 30 countries around the globe, and was supposed to be a means to preemptively stop pandemics from zoonotic diseases, jumping from animal to human. The concept was to artificially induce evolution, or enhance the function of naturally existing pathogens like bird flu, bat coronaviruses and study them, and have vaccines prepared should one of these viruses mutate in the wild and jump to humans. The problem with this system is that in order to preemptively create the vaccines and study the pathogens, scientists essentially have to create a bio weapon in the lab when making these pathogen infections to humans; also known as gain of function or direct evolution. The projects core replicating partners are USAID, EcoHealth Alliance, UC Davis, MetaBiota, Hunter Biden, Wild Life Consortium Society, [and the] Smithsonian Institute.
Map shows 15 bio labs locations in Ukraine most, if not all, built by the U.S. Department of Defense. Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) reported, “Did you know that USAID, using YOUR tax dollars, funded bioweapon research, including COVID-19, that killed millions of people?” “One of the partner organizations that receive[d] funding to carry out this project, MetaBiota, a bio lab company, was funded by Hunter Biden’s Rosemont Seneca. The owner, CEO, and head virologist behind MetaBiota, is Nathan Wolfe, who, in addition to the Biden’s, is financially tied to the Clinton’s and Epstein accomplants, Ghislaine Maxwell.”
“One of the partner organizations that receive[d] funding to carry out this project, MetaBiota, a bio lab company, was funded by Hunter Biden’s Rosemont Seneca. The owner, CEO, and head virologist behind MetaBiota, is Nathan Wolfe, who, in addition to the Biden’s is financially tied to the Clinton’s and Epstein accomplants, Ghislaine Maxwell via project TerraMar. Wolfe calls himself Virus Hunter, and wrote the book The Viral Storm: The Dawn of a New Pandemic Age, 2011, which he predicted that [the] future would be fraught with pandemics, and the only way to prevent it is to give him millions of dollars to look for Zoonotic diseases to produce vaccines….
“But everything changed in 2014. After the Obama CIA/State Dept. took over Ukraine via color revolution, MetaBiota was awarded their USAID/DOD contracts to begin searching for bat coronavirus and operating labs in Ukraine via Project PREDICT. All of this is open source information required by law and is available on USA Spending Government page.”
So Clandestine asks, “What does this all mean? It means that a Clinton, Epstein, and Biden-affiliated neurologist, was given tens of millions of US tax dollars via USAID, to look for, and genetically enhance bat coronaviruses in Ukraine, right before a man-made bat coronavirus started a global pandemic and killed millions of people… And we have emails from Hunter’s laptop proving that Hunter was in extremely close contact with Nathan Wolfe and MetaBiota. None of this is conjecture, and is backed up by a paper trail.”
This is the big secret. “The ruling families of the DNC are financially involved in USAID (CIA) projects that were enhancing bat coronaviruses before the C-19 pandemic, and they went great lengths to cover this up. This is ultimately where the road ends. The Deep State created C-19 with US taxpayer dollars and they are guilty of crimes against humanity. That is why Fauci and NIH covered up that Covid was man-made. That is why the Dems, the main stream media, censored, smeared anyone who would talk about C-19 being man-made. That’s why the Biden regime sent hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine. That is why Hunter and Fauci’s pardons begin in 2014. That is why the Dems are panicking that Trump is auditing the USAID because they are implicated in crimes against humanity, and Trump and Elon have the paper trail to prove it” (Ep.3563b, Feb.4, 2025, 35:00). These same people hid ivermectin, hydroxychoriquin, and natural immunity as cures. It’s now all exposed.

The Deep State does not know how President Donald Trump is moving so quickly seemingly knowing precisely what to hit them with next. Within two weeks he was even auditing them—something never done before nor supposed possible. Those who have studied “secret combinations” of the past 100 years (Internationalists, Establishment, New World Order, Globalists, World Order and now Deep State) know exactly what he is doing and why.
DOGE finds Biden’s Ex-USAID Chief Samantha Powers’ net worth to have skyrocketed from $6.7million to $30 million in four years on a $180,000 annual salary. Elon Musk indicates that “DOGE will be investigating bureaucrats who have somehow amassed a large wealth with public servant salaries” now that “the scheme has been exposed.” Several members of Congress associated with USAID appear to have amassed great wealth as well. Deep State outlets characteristically deny the allegations.
He had over 10 years to watch the Deep State up close and personal. He saw how they treated him as an outsider before and after his election in 2016, then as president, he had access to all their secret (classified) documents his 1st term, followed by a Coup election ending with Joe Biden as the White House resident. Biden himself ordered the raid on Trump’s home, Mar-A-Lago, and weaponized the FBI, DOJ, and judicial system to destroy him.
Trump first placed the illegal criminal element on the run by Border Czar Tom Homan, that likely otherwise would have been used by the Deep State for street chaos. Then he took away their security passes (Biden had taken Trump’s January 2021) so they could not know and use state intel information against him, then their funding through their “USAID” was exposed, and now their money laundering system through corrupt Non Government Organizations (NGO). Trump took the offense, the Deep State defense. It’s all coming to light, this column is on NGOs.
According to the State Department, approximately “1.5 million NGO’s are operating in the United States” All of these feeding directly or indirectly off taxpayer dollars (Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in the United States, Jan. 20, 2025). It is important to recognize that not all, probably not more than a few thousand of these are dishonest or are knowingly attempting to destroy America. But NGO’s need to make certain they are not assisting the Deep State laundering system. We support Congressman Thomas Massie’s definition of an NGO. He wrote, “If cutting government funding shuts down an NGO, it is not, and never was a Non Governmental Organization” (Thomas Massie, X, Feb. 12, 2025).
This reminds us of a statement by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, “We know that they are stealing. They know that they are stealing. They even know that we know they are stealing. But they are still stealing”(X22 Report -hereafter not cited-Ep. 3570b, Feb. 12, 2025, 33:31).
Elon Musk indicates that “DOGE will be investigating bureaucrats who have somehow amassed a large wealth with public servant salaries” now that “the scheme has been exposed.” Highly visible examples of these are “Nancy Pelosi annual salary $223,000, net worth: $202 million. Mitch McConnell annual salary $200,000, net worth: $95 million. Chuck Schumer annual salary: $210,000, net worth: $75 million. Elizabeth Warren annual salary $285, 000, net worth: $67 million. [She] flies on a private jet.” (@ Elon Musk @ DOGE, Ep. 3570b, Ibid., 37:05).
Anthony Fauci and Schumer are of special interest to the government department on efficiency. Fauci’s net worth surged during Covid and he became a multimillionaire. And Chuck Schumer sponsored the Inflation Reduction Act, which allotted the IRS “$80 Billion to hire 87,000 agents to AUDIT the American people,” yet hypocritically he objects to the audit of USAID which is likely the source of his surge in personal gain (Ep. 3570b, Feb. 12, 2025, 38:31).
Whether actually said by Truman or not most believe the above true. There is extreme panic in Washington DC. All of this “has spawned a 400% rise since Dec. 1, 2024 in Google searches for defense lawyers in the District of Columbia—five times higher then any other place in the country.” Googles biggest requested word search was “bleach bit” made famous by Hillary Clinton when she used it to wipe clean everything electronic in her home, presumable to conceal criminal activity. Me thinks others want to purchase it for the same purpose.
So these have a net worth far beyond reason from their salary base. President Trump says “he is ‘completely certain his administration has discovered widespread kickbacks in the federal government.’ Trump said ‘he examined a list of 200 expenditures and found only three that look reasonable. There is no chance that there’s not kickbacks or something going on. They are taking massive amounts of money and spending it on items’” (WATCH: Trump “Completely Certain” There Is MASSIVE KICKBACKS in Federal Spending, Yeshiva World News, Feb. 12, 2025).
And there are other less famous members of Congress of interest to the DOGE, as for example, Rep. Jasmine Crockett who has “a reported net worth of $9 million despite being paid $174,000 a year. Crockett owns a $2 million townhouse in Dallas, $1.5 million loft in Austin, Texas, $1.5 million lakefront cabin in Galveston, Texas. Crockett’s net worth grew substantially last year during the 2024 election where she became an overnight star for the DNC.” Crockett says it’s “a lie” her net is “between -$46,997 and $29,999.” (Lead Stories Fact Check, Dana Ford, 02/14/25).
DOGE News reports, “This is the Government Accountability Office Building (pictured). They are suppose to do what DOGE does. They currently employ 3,275 people that do nothing” in “a very big building. DOGE just has a few college kids.” Then Elon observes, “It’s almost like there’s a massive “uniparty” grift machine here in DC” and shared the following analogy, “You own a store. Your store gets robbed. Elon looks at the video footage of the robbery and tells you who did it. Now, you want to arrest Elon.” Democrat, past president, Harry S. Truman said it best. “You can’t get rich in Politics unless you’re a Crook” (Ep. 3572b, Feb. 14, 2025, 34:47).
There is extreme panic in Washington DC. All of this “has spawned a 400% rise since Dec. 1, 2024 in Google searches for defense lawyers in the District of Columbia—five times higher then any other place in the country” (Brooks Dailey, Ibid., 33:36). Google searches exploded in the following word searches: other than criminal defense lawyers, “RICO law, Swiss bank, IBAN, offshore bank, wire money, statute of limitations.” And the biggest one of all “bleach bit.” Why bleach bit? “Hillary Clinton used bleach bit inside her home to wipe everything electronic in her home. This way they couldn’t be tracked.” These people allegedly knowingly stole from the taxpayer some even participated in a successful Coup d’état against Donald Trump —TREASON. They know it, Trump knows it, and now a majority of the people know it.

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) was established by President John F, Kennedy by executive order November 3, 1961. The 63 year old organization has since become the cash cow of almost all international funding and most believe it has become the funder of Deep State power. Trump, also by executive order, froze its assets and closed its doors February 7 pending an audit. The USAID is within Trump’s executive power to oversee and manage. That audit has shown good reason to restructure or dissolve the organization—its loyalty to America is in question as it distributes America’s tax monies often to our enemies. The closure was so sudden the Deep State could not hide or destroy evidence—the institution was frozen in time to be reviewed. (We have restricted our citations to varied daily podcasts of one trusted non Deep State source, X22 Reports, since most of the findings on USAID are common knowledge, but our perspective may differ.) The Deep State is an enemy to freedom.
Trump has taken the offensive so hard and fast in his 1st 3 weeks to keep his promise to rid the nation of the Deep State. It has been the dominant influence in both major political parties, under different names, for over 100 years. Uncharacteristically for them they have not been able to regain an effective offense against him. They tried everything, even assassination, and he’s come back stronger than ever—like a roaring lion. He has taken away their security passes and ran a Javelin through USAID—their secret world wide funding. The people love him for what he does.
Elon Musk, a former life-long Democrat, was placed over a new Trump department called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) as a special short-termed government employee to conduct the never before audit in the intentional effort to eliminate waste and fraud. Musk will be auditing a number of other federal departments for the same purpose—even the Pentagon. He, like President Trump, is working for free. Trump said of him. “Musk can’t do and won’t do anything without our approval, and we’ll give him the approval where appropriate.” Some USAID officials were put on leave for refusing access to Musk and DOGE of USAID records. (X22 Report, hereafter not cited, Ep. 3562b, Feb. 3, 2025, 23:00).
The audit has shown good reason for this review as it documents a $70 Billion slush fund for far left causes throughout the world. Musk says “97% of political contributions from USAID employees went to Dems.” (Dailywire, Ep. 3563b, Feb. 4, 2025, 43:47). Here are some of those taxpayer funded causes thus far revealed from the audit of USAID:
Riots in 2020. USAID funded $27 million to Black Lives Matter through George Soros’ Tides Foundation, hence USAID funded the burning of our cities, businesses, and homes in 2020. This included $252million coming to Portland in 2019” (Ep. 3566b, Feb.7, 2025, 14:13, 15:51).
USAID funded revolutions in Ukraine and Brazil. Five billion dollars of USAID money allowed Victoria Nuland to fund the Obama Administration’s engineered Coup d’état in Ukraine, in 2014 making that nation the 1st Deep State country. Years later the billion dollar loan used by Vice President Biden to blackmail Ukraine president not to prosecute Hunter Biden was from USAID. This was Biden’s famous quid pro quo. (Ep. 3566b, Feb.7, 2025, 23:12). Nuland selected the new government a month before the old government was overthrown,” says RFK Jr. (Ep. 3562b, Feb. 3, 2025, 36:38). The Deep State is panicking over the destruction of USAID as it funded virtually all their operations worldwide. As for example,“If USAID did not exist, Bolsonaro would still be president of Brazil” (Ep. 3563b, Feb. 4, 2025, 26:14).
Covid-19 Pandemic. “USAID funded $53 million to EcoHealth Alliance, which then used U.S. taxpayer funds to support gain-of-function research on coronaviruses at the Wuhan lab—research that likely led to the creation of Covid-19” (Kanekoathegreat, Ep. 3562b, Feb. 3, 2025, 41:30). “Fauchi’s NIAID and USAID sent over $40m in U.S. taxpayer ‘support’ to a scientist in Wuhan who was working on ‘bat corona virus emergence’ research, who also became patient zero.’ And the completion date of the funding was in 2019” (Ep. 3562b, Feb. 3, 2025, 42:05). Elon Musk asks, “Did you know that USAID, using your tax dollars” funded bioweapon research, including COVID-19, that killed millions of people.” (Ep. 3563b, Feb. 4, 2025, 33:57). We previously published “Are U.S-Run Biological labs in Ukraine as they Say?,” (LUF, March 11, 2022).
Illegal Immigration. USAID funded George Soros “250 million” (Ep. 3565b, Feb. 6, 2025, 28:28). This is believed to have funded a large portion of the alien caravans invading the United States over recent years. Why would the government give multi billionaire Soros any money?
Yes, at the time they were. We have published many columns on Ukraine. American built bio labs in Ukraine on Russia’s border was the major reason Russia invaded. We previously published “Are U.S-Run Biological labs in Ukraine as they Say?,” (LUF, March 11, 2022). Again yes!! Documents found in the audit of USAID caused Elon Musk to ask Americans, “Did you know that USAID, using your tax dollars” funded bioweapon research, including COVID-19, that killed millions of people.”
Deep State media is largely funded by USAID. Trump, “Looks like millions of dollars have been stolen at USAID and other agencies, much of it going to the fake news media as a payoff for creating good stories about the Democrats. The left wing rag known as POLITICO seems to have received $8 million.” (Truth Social, Ep. 3565b, Feb. 6, 2025, 33:18).Those specifically identified were the Associated Press, NPR, and Politico. (Ep. 3565b,Feb. 6, 2025, 10:45). Also, USAID was supporting subscriptions to keep platforms in play. “The White House has directed the GSA to terminate every single media contract’ expensed by the Agency: Politico, BBC, E&E (politico sub) and Bloomberg” and to audit “EVERY NGO which relies on federal funding.”
Palestine. USAID gifted $310 million of tax payer money to start a Palestinian cement factory to provide cement to reinforce Hamas critical terror tunnels (Ep. 3566b, Feb.7, 2025, 52:16).
We recall Trump’s campaign mission statement of last May, “2024 is our final battle. With your help, we will demolish the Deep State. We will expel the war mongers from our government. We will drive out the globalists. We will cast out the communists, marxists, and fascists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will drain the swamp, and we will rescue our country from these tyrants and villains once and for all. The great liberation of America begins on November 5, 2024 – and the forgotten man and woman will be forgotten no longer.” (Ep.3362b, May 26, 2024, 46:43). And this is precisely what Trump is doing.
The Deep State can’t stop the exposure. Digital soldiers are all over it. The revelations are driving the radical left crazy and their is nothing they can do about it because this money belongs to the people (their tax money) but has been stolen for underground nefarious purposes that undermine freedom that were never approved by the people. This is so fraudulent it can’t be justified and is unexplainable. But the need for cleansing this system is critical to freedom.

All modern presidential elections have two parts the popular vote (the people) and the Electoral College vote (the states). We have documented in many previous columns the evidence that the 2020 presidential election was a two-part Coup d’état in both elections November 3, 2020 and January 6, 2021, the latter a fedsurrection which installed Joe Biden in the Oval Office without the objecting process mandated by the College vote. That the January 6th Select Committee of Trump haters functioned to thwart and destroy any possibility of the coup being revealed. That was the principle reason Committee members were all pardoned by Biden after they destroyed over 100 documents revealing their role in its coverup. LiberyUnderFire has covered all of this in dozens of past columns. But the Coup was not finished. MAGA, as a movement, had to be incarcerated and destroyed under the label of domestic terrorism.
The U.S. Constitution gave the federal government no authority over law enforcement. Amendment 10 makes all power not listed State power. Biden worked hard to federalize all law enforcement by attempting to fund it. This way it can be politicized then weaponized. If weaponized it results in tyranny as it did for the J6ers. In China, with cameras everywhere, the government can find any person in the county within seven minutes. States must refuse federal funding and influence thus control. There should be no federal fusion centers.
This began immediately with the J-6 detainees but expanded gradually over the next several months and years to all Deep State objectors. This is why they were still arresting J-6 participants last fall, almost four years after the event. “On his first full day in office, President Biden, directed his national security team to lead a 100-day comprehensive review of U.S. Government efforts to address domestic terrorism,” which Biden claimed “has evolved into the most urgent terrorism threat the United States faces today.” As a result of that 100-day review with Deep State people like James Clapper and John Brennan participating, “the Biden Administration released the first-ever “National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism.”(The White House, June 15, 2021). This for him, and the rest of the Deep State, were those who might oppose, reveal, or undo their Coup d’état.
Biden’s directive had four major pillars. The first, the DOJ and FBI’s “robust system to methodically track domestic terrorism cases nationwide.” The second, “For the first time, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has designated ‘Domestic Violent Extremism’ as a National Priority Area within the Department’s Homeland Security Grant Program, which means that over $77 million will be allocated to state, local [governments] to prevent, protect against, and respond to domestic violence.” Third, another $100 million is allocated to the DOJ, FBI, and DHS “to target the threat” and to “ensure that the Federal Government has the analysts, investigators, prosecutors,” to “thwart domestic terrorism.” Finally four, “The U.S. Government will also work to find ways to counter the polarization often fueled by disinformation, misinformation, and dangerous conspiracy theories online” (Ibid.). Of course, this means major government censorship. That is what this document shows.
So who are these dangerous domestic terrorists the Biden administration was spending at least $170 million dollars to punish and purge from our society? Was it those holding the 350,000 plus children who disappeared during the Biden Administration likely to pedophiles in the United States? How about those on Epstein’s client list, or Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs? Or those most responsible for the 2020-21 election Coup d’état? Or the murderers he pardoned? NO, NONE OF THESE!! They were identified in yet another DHS Biden Administration Memo on Terrorists. This memo identifies extremists as those “with one or more of the following criteria – among many others – each of which is described as ‘violent.’” It defined “the following as terrorists: military veterans, anti-war individuals/groups, tax resistance movement groups, militia, alternative media, opponents of open border policies, single issue groups or individuals, patriot movements (Christian patriots, patriot groups, and constitutionalists).” (X22 Reports, Ep. 3554b,Jan. 23, 2025, 23:15). These were essentially MAGA people.
The memo continues, “The DHS has establish[ed] dozens of ‘Fusion Centers’ in cities and states across the country to monitor domestic activity. Local, state, and federal agents from DHS, CIA, and DOJ share information concerning the activities of citizens. Activities monitored by Fusion Centers overlap with those stated in the DHS Report/Lexicon (above) and further includes the following (which tend to vary state-to-state): frequent references to the constitution. support of third party candidates, support for an audit of the Federal Reserve, opposition to a carbon tax to be paid to a world bank, opposition to US submission to the United Nations and/or the World Health Organization. The FBI’s InfraGard program. In addition to collecting data internally, FBI agents work within the private sector with businesses which report on citizens ‘suspicious activities’” (purposely emboldened for emphasis) (Ibid.). These are who Biden’s DHS labeled as domestic terrorists—MOST AMERICANS.
The DHS has established dozens of Fusion Centers in cities and states across the country to monitor domestic activity. Local, state, and federal agents from DHS, CIA, and DOJ share information concerning the activities of citizens. The New York City Fusion Center declared Oath Keepers and other liberty groups extremist threats. What business do CIA agents have in domestic law enforcement? NONE!! Others classified as domestic terrorists included veterans, Christians, patriots and constitutionalists– basically MAGA.
How would they hunt out these extreme domestic terrorists? Mostly by speech, in full violation of Amendment 1 of the Constitution. The Intercept reported that the Department of Homeland Security, “is quietly broadening its efforts to curb speech it considers dangerous and found “years of internal DHS, memos, emails, and documents – obtained via leaks and an ongoing lawsuit, as well as public documents— illustrates an expert explosion effort by the agency to influence tech platforms. In 2022 they announced a new ‘Disinformation Governance Board’ a panel designated to police misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation.” It was too much for the public and shutdown the same year but it would have been revised as soon as they had more control (“The Intercept Truth Cops: Leaked Documents Outline DHS’s Plans to Police Disinformation,” By Ken Klippen Stein, Lee Fang, Oct. 31, 2022).
The Biden Administration was a tyrannical government. Fortunately for the rest of us, only January 6ers, and pro-lifers (imprisoned under ‘The FACE ACT’) experienced this side of the Biden agenda but it was showing up in school board meetings as well as in their hostility toward Catholics (X22 Report, Ep. 3554b, Jan. 23, 2025, 23:15 and 36:57). Trump pardoned both groups. These documents show they intended its acceleration. Had Trump not won and removed Biden/Harris’s illegitimate Deep State government those domestic terrorists groups or individuals listed above—which included most of America—would be feeling the full tyrannical wrath of the government now and for at least the next four years. You and I were the domestic terrorists.

President Donald Trump has ignited the birthright citizenship issue by an executive order mandating that we return to the Constitution as written by ending the practice. It is titled “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship.” Consequently 22 Democrat state AG’s have sued the Trump Administration (PRESIDENTIAL ACTIONS Executive Order Jan. 20, 2025). Generally Republicans agree with this action and Democrats do not.
The post Civil War amendments all dealt with what to do with the former slave residents the North had made free against the will of the South; the 11 states holding them in bondage, and although now free, wanted to keep them as still subservient in citizenship and voting. The 13th Amendment (Dec. 6, 1868) constitutionally ended slavery, the 14th (July 9, 1868) gave them, and their yet unborn, citizenship, and the 15th (Feb. 3, 1870) the right to vote—together they equalized ex-slaves by law. The amendments must be treated together. None had anything to do with immigration—the word was not mentioned.
On January 20th President Trump signs an executive order that would end birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens born in the U.S. The text of the order states that it applies only to newborns. It is not retroactive for people who are already U.S. citizens. According to a lawsuit filed by virtually every Democrat state AG in the country, there are about 150,000 children born each year to two parents who are illegal aliens. How can a child of such a parentage have what his parents clearly do not have? Trump wants to return to Amendment 14 which denied this practice.
Actually, birthright citizenship is prohibited by the 14th Amendment. On Sept. 28, 2025 LibertyUnderFire.org published “Are ‘Anchor’ Babies Constitutional?,” and we have followed with several like columns over the years. The concept of “anchor” babies refers to those whose parents are illegal immigrants into the United States and while here have a baby. That baby then inherits full citizenship and even the right later, as an adult, to sponsor his/her own illegal parents in their quest for citizenship. How can a child of such a parentage have what his parents clearly do not have? Is this practice constitutional? No, and although miss-practiced widely the last several decades, has never been original intent or practice.
For the casual reader the amendment seems to validate such if we omit the middle highlighted six words : “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” The debate for or against the practice of allowing citizenship for babies of illegal’s born in the U.S. rages on with virtually, no expert or otherwise, going to the source of the alleged authority—the crafters of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
Senator Jacob Merritt Howard, architect of the 14th Amendment actually structured the Amendment (one of two defining the legal status of freed slaves after the Civil War, the other being the 13th which gave them freedom) to prevent that very interpretation. He wrote: “This amendment which I have offered is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already, that every person born within the limits of the United States, and [already as were ex-slaves] subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. THIS WILL NOT, OF COURSE, INCLUDE PERSONS BORN IN THE UNITED STATES WHO ARE FOREIGNERS, ALIENS [emphasis added], who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.” It was he who insisted that the qualifying phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” be inserted into Section I. Those sneaking across our borders in the cover of darkness (now in open daylight) are clearly foreigners and thus specifically excluded from automatic citizenship. Notice the exclusion of babies born of ambassadors while here as well.
The early record of Senate deliberations on the 14th Amendment shows this to be the view of the Senate. There is no such thing as automatic citizenship from this amendment without serious and unscholarly distortion of it. In fact, Lyman Trumbull, co-author of the 13th Amendment outlawing slavery, addressing the definition of the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” asked, What do we mean by complete jurisdiction thereof? Not owing allegiance to anybody else. That is what it means.” Those crossing our borders illegally have jurisdiction or allegiance elsewhere and thus cannot have automatic citizenship—nor can their babies.
Citizenship was denied Native Americans until 1924 as they owed allegiance to their Sioux or Apache or Blackfoot, or whatever, Indian nations and thus were not yet “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” of the nation they lived within. Certainly one must cease to be at war or conflict with the conquering country. So just being on U.S. soil did not make them citizens automatically until the “jurisdiction thereof” part of the Amendment was satisfied.
All Deep State media showed or quoted only the message they wanted remembered highlighted in yellow, ignorantly or knowingly leaving out the eligibility requirement of six words essential to the gift “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Amendments 13, 14, and 15 were created to incorporate the newly freed ex-slaves in the South. None of these amendments had anything to do with immigration or contained even the word yet Deep State Democrats saw this group as a way of supersizing to a permanent single party thus encouraged this serious perversion of the Constitution.
Many of our Mexican friends send portions of their paychecks home to Mexico and plan to return to their native land upon retirement with pensions and/or social security sent to their “first” country from the country they extracted the wealth from—the U.S. Some vote in Mexican elections from here. It is indeed hard to argue that they are not instead subject to the jurisdiction of another land other than the United States—and most admit it. Unfortunately for them the U. S. Constitution specifically denies such citizenship.
Democrat AG’s from 22 states are now taking Trump to court for this “long-standing right.” This is likely to progress to the Supreme Court where it will be defeated if the court holds to original intent as understood and practiced for at least the first hundred years of the amendment’s history. No new amendment is needed to get us back to original intent. Trump’s executive order on this matter is within his authority and enough. Only ignorance took us off the Constitution to begin with. It remains the law of the land as written. Only the grossest distortion or intent by those in power and a population grossly ignorant of their founding document could miss this. The president swears by oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” which, in this case, he is doing.
Next time we read Amendment 14, Section 1 lets not omit “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof ” and treat it as though it has no meaning. Again, the word immigration is not in this or the other two post Civil War Amendments. If we want citizen birth rights lets say so in a new constitutional amendment. Don’t just make it up where it was never created.
