Kunstler: How It Worked
Kunstler.com ^ | 7 Feb, 2025 | James Howard Kunstler

Posted on 02/07/2025 7:31:09 AM PST by MtnClimber

"They never prepared for algorithms that could map everything. For personnel pre-positioned everywhere. For a president who counts every week like it's his last." — VP JD Vance.

If you wondered since 2016 how come the blob and the Democratic Party were aligned so exquisitely in their operations to destroy populism (personified by Mr. Trump) and to permanently entrench single party power in America for all time to come, it’s because an endless font of taxpayer money was streamed into countless non-governmental orgs creating a shadow civil service of Democratic Party activists that melded seamlessly with the big policy-making agencies.

The money was laundered through manifold layers of these orgs and their sub-orgs to pay for an ongoing “color revolution” in the USA — lawfare, election fraud, propaganda, censorship, career cancellation, medical f***ery, open borders, and other totalitarian ploys — while enriching political players at all those manifold layers from multi-millionaire congressmen and senators to thousands of NGO officials making six-figure salaries to street hustlers like Patrisse Cullors of Black Lives Matter and “anti-racism” racist Ibram X. Kendi and his $50-million Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University (recently axed) — and, of course, ultimately the former Potemkin president “Joe Biden” and his family.

It was all this money that drove eight years of sponsored insanity. Mainly, it kept the hands of the Democratic Party firmly on the levers of power so that nothing could be done about the insults and injuries they were inflicting on our country. So, is it a mystery now that nobody was prosecuted for burning the cities in 2020, or for magically creating millions of extra “Joe Biden” votes out of nowhere that year, or setting up the kickback machine from Ukraine to Congress, or forcing millions to get a janky vaccine?

Pam Bondi is going to be a busy girl. The DOGE has uncovered a government racketeering operation of which the USAID scandal is but one cog in a colossal engine of grift. What the public, including you readers, may not appreciate is how much planning went on over the past year to mount the DOGE effort, and how comprehensively the work of its many hundreds of computer techies (not just six whiz-kids) has laid bare the money-trails out of previously impenetrable government computers. Their algorithms have pierced the firewalls, revealing decades of fraud and deceit.

Mr. Trump’s cabinet officers have started the job of dismantling the machine by getting rid of the employees who set it up and worked for it. By Thursday, Secretary of State Rubio fired all but 300 of the 10,000 people working for USAID. CIA Director Ratcliffe offered the agency’s entire workforce a “deferred resignation” option that will allow them to bail out and still collect their salaries until September. Look for straight-up firings to ensue. Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove ordered the acting FBI director to terminate eight senior FBI officials and asked for a review of up to 5,000 involved in J-6 investigations (including, presumably, agents who engaged in abusive SWAT-team deployments).

Many lawsuits have been mounted by blob-adjacent attorneys to make all this stop. But one big problem for them is that their gigantic legal fees — hundreds of dollars an hour on the meter multiplied by x-hundreds of lawyers— were previously paid by exactly those NGOs that are getting shut down now. So, perhaps you see exactly how those levers of power worked. The money will have to come from somewhere else, and I doubt that Silicon Valley billionaire blob-supporter Reid Hoffman wants to piss away the rest of his fortune on this.

Some actual persons will have to be held accountable for all the mischief carried out in rogue agencies over many years. It has to start somewhere. I nominate Samantha Power as a first test case. She was in charge of USAID for nearly four years — until Jan 20, 2025 — including the duration of the Ukraine War. She was also personally very busy hands-on in arranging attempted color revolutions in Hungary (failed, against Viktor Orban), Georgia (failed), Mexico (failed), and Brazil (succeeded against Jair Bolsonaro). Ms. Power provided money from USAID-connected NGOs to foster instability in many more countries, including our country. It must have come as quite a shock to her that Kamala Harris did not win the 2024 election. USAID will not be paying for Ms.Power’s legal representation.

Much more will come to shock the blobsters and their legions — though just now, as the reformation of government begins, it’s comforting just to think of all those dedicated seditionists, Wokesters, Marxians, and Jacobins unable to make their rent payments or buy groceries all of a sudden. The paychecks have stopped coming for thousands who wanted to turn American life upside-down and inside-out. This happened most colorfully at the fake-news outfit called Politico this week. Turned out they were a subsidiary of the blob. Who knew? (Everyone who was paying attention to the jive they published.) Management had to send out a memo that reporters and editors would not get paid this week, or maybe ever again. Boo hoo.

It was also revealed this week that the Reuters News Agency, the Associated Press, The New York Times, the Wash-Po, and around 700-other news outfits altogether had been receiving financial support from USAID, the CIA, and other government entities. Now do you understand why the Democratic Party voters are so obdurately deluded and deranged?

Besides the perfunctory lawsuits filed against DOGE and the agency chiefs, the response to all this corrective action has been surprisingly feeble. You might conclude that they couldn’t marshal the rioters this time because the money for rioters has been cut off. Instead, you saw a motley pack of political creeps — Jamie Raskin, Ayanna Pressley, Liz Warren, Chuck Schumer, Maxine Waters, Jasmine Crockett , Ilhan Omar —crying crocodile tears outside USAID HQ at 1300 Pennsylvania Ave. They looked like roaches after the exterminator’s visit.

The reform of our gone-rogue government is barely underway, notwithstanding these mighty initial actions. Yet to come, you have the whole filthy underbelly of the public health agencies who brought you Covid-19. The terrified Democrats are holding back confirmation of Patel, Gabbard, and RFKJr, but even if they fail to get confirmed, the new administration will put capable figures in those jobs at FBI, ODNI, and HHS. The party of Chaos must know that they cannot stop the dismantling of their evil machine.....SNIP

“When and how are they going to hit back?”

When Patton’s tanks rolled through Germany in World War II the Germans did “hit back”.

They had snipers firing at the tanks.

Troops inside the tanks would hear “pinging” sounds now and then.

The leftist courts attempts to stop the MAGA steamroller will be the pinging sounds we hear as we claim back our institutions from the left—one institution at a time.

For a president who counts every week like it's his last.

When you stare death in the face and come out, you have nothing left to fear except hell, and Trump knows the Lord. Cowards die a thousand times before their death; the valiant taste of death but once.

Trump had to dive into the deep pool of muck in Washington but emerged from it clutching the great pearl of USA Freedom. Now he is washing off the mud of USAID, Labor Dept., Education Dept., Health Dept. etc.....

Excellent, succinct article; sums up nicely what the opposition was doing to us, to our country. They all belong in prison. I can’t thank the LORD enough for giving us that 4 year pause, in preparation for this unveiling. What the enemy meant for evil, God has turned to good!

Imagine all the homework that is behind every move Trump and his “Army of Patriots” and how long they have been on the move.

That’s my question too. They are not going to go quietly into the night.

The leftist mass media and agitators of all kinds had federal money laundered through NGOs as their lifeblood.

Without it they will die.

“scope of this corruption is staggering”

It is and its hard to wrap ones head around, the absolute magnitude of fraud and evil to take down the USA is disturbing.

Good summation.

To really stay up with it, I recommend reading Jeff Childers “Coffee & Covid” every day.

We must know who was sitting at the top, who all were the leadership, not that Biden animated dementia carcass, the real ones in charge.

Wicked Samantha Power worships that demonic fly-infested Obama creature, okay who else.

I think he was unaware how big the swamp really was, and he certainly had no clue as to how it was able to operate. Furthermore, the Deep State was able to hamstring him with the BS Russia-gate claim, and had support from the people with the racist claims, as well as, the Hitler, Fascist, Dictator lies

Now he knows it all, and the people know more now as well. 🙂👍 The people now also know tat the 2020 election theft was real. 🙂👍

Also the bought and paid for managed mockingbird media like CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSN, FOX, Drudge Report and thousands of other leftist media outlets. No one was really watching that inane drivel spewing. How will they stay in business without subsidies by USAID and the kickbacks.

To all the people who asked "can thousands of people keep a secret" like massive voter fraud or TWA 800, the answer is apparently "yes, they can."

I’d like to see the WH visitor logs from the day after Brian Deese resigned from Biden’s cabinet until the end of Biden’s term. I would bet you would see Deese visiting the WH very often during that period. Brian Deese was running the show in the WH until he stepped on his own male appendage on MSM by saying they (the Biden Administration) was establishing the “new liberal world order”. After very little public backlash against that statement, he resigned the cabinet. He was and is an employee of the WEF. Klaus and Harari, with Soros’ help, was running the whole Biden presidency.

Excellent example.

Thousands of people in the Swamp knew about this stuff...

As Elon said, the bad guys are out the door at 4 on Friday, having “worked” for 40 hours - and DOGE is putting in 120 hours and sleeping in the office.

No contest - until the military gets involved, if that’s how the Deep State wants to play this.
