The Counterrevolution: An Excerpt From My New Book
The Rod Martin Report ^ | 31 May 2025 | Rod MArtin

Geopolitics, like generations, is in many respects shaped by impersonal forces. But history is entirely personal. It is subject to a personal God. And likewise, it is frequently redirected by specific human personalities. From Alexander and Caesar to Washington, Lincoln, FDR and Reagan, our lives are repeatedly reshaped by the vision and determination of a single man.

...

The Relentless Resolve of Donald J. Trump

Say what you will about Donald Trump, but no honest observer can deny this: the man simply refuses to quit.

For eight years — from the moment he descended that golden escalator in 2015 — Trump has faced a sustained political, legal, and media onslaught unlike anything in American history. The entire weight of the modern establishment has been hurled at him: the intelligence community, the Enemedia, the corporate class, the bureaucracy, the academy, Big Tech, even the Justice Department and the courts. Not since Lincoln has a president or presidential candidate been so hated by the entrenched powers that be.

Wonderful stuff, well done!

“But the Donald Trump of 2025 is our Gandalf the White. He has fought the Balrog of the state and been reborn, understanding clearly how Washington really works, and determined to set things right.

His legions of critics call that “revenge”. And perhaps to some degree it is.

But in fact, it’s not revenge but restoration, of the pre-New Deal constitutional order, in which elections really matter and the people are truly both sovereign and free.”

One of the best summaries of our present predicament I've see:

"The Deep State is rotting. Its courts have become legislatures, its agencies have become sovereigns, its laws unread, its processes unknowable. Its schools no longer educate, its currency no longer holds value, its borders no longer exist. It cannot win wars, balance budgets, or tell a man from a woman. The revolution is eating itself. And its answer, in typical Marxist fashion, is to demand ever-increasing control."
