Everyone is probably still trying to integrate all the news from the past week or two into their brain, but the immediate shock is probably over for people with well curated news feeds. A lot of people knew already too, even if they didn't know the scale or have receipts. There's still some way to go yet for those on the USAID moderated Internet space and the few remaining souls that believe the mainstream press. They haven't even started to get shocked yet, but it's going to get really hard to hide it from them soon enough. By the time it's over everyone will probably have witnessed at least one highly public narcissistic personality collapse. That started really hitting hard in 2016 and is probably going to peak in the next 6 months or so, I'd guess.

The DOGE team hitting the ground running and dropping bombs on USAID wasn't something I really expected, so I see some interesting doors to go through with this information in the sunlight.

As the USAID money laundering got its cover thrown off, in an atmosphere where more than one prominent voice has called for abolishing the federal income tax, I've seen very little movement toward an organized tax revolt as of yet. It's still early for those just waking up to the corruption, but the longer it goes on the more objectionable or downright repugnant uses of taxpayers funds will become evident. I think real discussion of a tax revolt has been taboo even on the fringes. I haven't done any real research on how things turn out in general for people that try to lead tax reform movements or revolts in a public way, but I think everyone can recall the history of IRS controversies and then can throw in a bunch of other actions by agencies they know often do the bidding of the blob. The higher up the food chain, the more you have to lose, and the more they're willing to leverage against you. There's no shortage of cases, but you probably already knew that if you're reading this site.

The reveal on USAID is just at the surface right now. This was just stopping the flow. There is already clear evidence of US tax dollars directly funding organizations that have created pandemic-capable pathogens, have worked to violate the basic rights of citizens all over the globe (including the US), and many in the DC orbit (or their family, or friends, or organizations) seem to be beneficiaries of that money in fairly direct ways. There has never been a time in my memory when such clear evidence of the total subversion of government has been available to the masses. There will be more, but what is already exposed is enough to understand that something stinks in Denmark.

People in DC will talk about abolishing the federal income tax, but they've talked about a lot of things for a lot of years. The Libertarian party was taken over by WEF fetishists for 2024, for some reason, with 30 trillion or so in debt and rampant corruption at all levels of government... but the Libertarian nominee seemed more interested in how many penises society can get into girl's locker areas than the black heart of corruption entrenched in DC. These just aren't serious people and not trustworthy people. Many such cases, as we witnessed with the RINO candidates for Republican offices increasingly swarming out from the urban centers like locusts over the past decade. D or R, whatever, is just a mask. Whatever face they wear, these are the people eager to exercise power like authoritarians for their activist causes and get in on the NGO gravy trains. Most of what is relevant to us now goes back to 2014, but this isn't new by any stretch. I'm aware of it happening on the ground in the 80's, though I was too young to care and had no Internet to follow bread crumbs on. Again, I saw it on the ground in 2009, but only really understood the scope with the context of 2019 onward. Just domestically, not to even touch on the many foreign misadventures.

It's hard to tell when it began. but the deeper you dig the easier it is to believe it goes back to at least WWII. Today we have what is the height of civilizational corruption and, unless you want to get into esoterica, there is nothing approaching this scale in our history books. A bunch of painted faces cavorting about like they're better than everyone else is nothing new. Them paying people to say nice things about them with your money is nothing new. Funding people to harass or destroy you if you say the wrong thing is nothing new. The scale and scope are new. They drop bombs, they fund terrorists, they engorge themselves like leeches as millions are maimed and murdered. And that's just the USA... which isn't even half the story. At what point are we morally justified, perhaps even obligated, to stop contributing?

So will anyone emerge to suggest that Americans should not be subject to what amounts to taxation without representation, that being forced to fund morally reprehensible things is incompatible with our founding documents, and to assert citizens are within their rights to cease giving in to this criminal enterprise? There is no reasonable oversight and clearly hasn't been for some time. Wages have not kept up with inflation and the most wealthy people continue to gain a greater share of the pie. The most vulnerable continue to be pawns for the elite. Insider trading is in the open. People in DC (and the IRS) owe millions in back taxes. Connected families and their friends get pardoned in the event anyone even investigates their in-your-face corruption. Why are we still paying to use all the infrastructure our taxes paid to build over the past 80 years while it crumbles around us? Why are natural disaster victims not getting the help they need when this is one of the few federal expenditures that nearly all citizens agree is necessary? There are so many questions that nobody taking your money will answer.

This criminal enterprise has killed many millions of people all over the globe. Generations of suffering, whole regions locked in misery, all in service to the continued hoarding of obscene amounts of wealth. It has allowed problems to fester (or incited them) in order to continue stealing this money, first from the taxpayers and then from the people that were supposed to be getting the aid. It takes very evil people to hide behind these fronts while facilitating corporate exploitation of the planet and all its inhabitants. All of these fake philanthropic organization founders/CEOs raking in government money and every person in government that has turned a blind eye while taxpayer funds built their personal empires needs to be prosecuted. You can look at the names coming up on the Republican side and it will be no surprise what names you find. These subversive criminals are going to try to explain it all away while Americans are filling out tax forms and praying they don't get flagged for extra extortion by some algorithm. Slava Ukraini, on the lips of every Republican kneeling at the NGO glory hole. That's anti-Semitic, ready to be hurled whenever you question a neocon whore about thousands of children in Gaza that were murdered in their homes on our dime.

So will anyone emerge to hold their feet to the fire or call their bluffs on ending federal income tax? Do citizens have a right to stop supporting the exploitation of citizens of countries all over the world (and at home) through the use of contrived news and sponsored protests (and much worse)? At what point does the open fraud, aided by these unethical social engineering (and medical) experiments, constitute a big enough threat to our future security that we must never again allow the government to steal the fruit of individual labor for any purpose? If decades of abuse doesn't result in people going to prison, what difference will a promise not to use your taxes like this again really make? Promises mean nothing without accountability. If the legislative body is above the law then I don't think they're legitimate representation. They're not our peers and can't really represent us, can they? Do we have standing to challenge anything and, if not, why are we funding it at all?

Trump is going to have some limits to his political power plays and I'm highly skeptical on the federal income tax really being on the table. I can't imagine a time that the citizens will have a better position of leverage with a populist movement in the WH and with establishment figures, in highly compromising positions, all on their heels. I have no idea what the operational capacity of the IRS is or what amount of delinquency would create logistical problems, but I have no doubt people have studied it (and probably don't share it much). In some dusty government basement somewhere, from back when they didn't think they owned us outright, there's a classified paper wargaming this exact scenario.

Nothing is gaining steam just yet and there is no coherent voice forming. I don't know that it'll be an organic movement if it takes off, but I at least know USAID won't be funding it for the time being. This is all just conjecture and observation, so feel free to offer your own. Consider this a soft topic with a broader umbrella of what new possibilities are emergent from the current event stream. Six months ago I'd have said tax revolt would be fruitless and/or impossible to pull off, but I never saw USAID getting dragging out into the sunlight like it has.

Working in the entertainment industry, I meet many liberal/progressives.

The thing that is scaring me, is the fact that my friends are digging in, not seeing the light.

Many are freaking out about the DoEd being shut down down. But yet, in the same conversation, complain about how everything they learned in college was wrong.

I often wondered about how people could not have eyes to see, but am now am astounded by how few people actually want/can see.

The left thinks it is digging foxholes. They are digging graves.

There's a lot of truth to that statement! In Trump's first term BOTH parties fought him tooth and nail; now the GOP is backing him with the exception of a few RINO's. 
That has me wondering what the new end goal is and why the liberal politicians are fighting so hard. It's not just their corruption that will be exposed, but also many on the Republican side.

I feel like there's something I'm missing. If the Trump team is going to tear it all down, what will they replace it with?

Great thread, Ksihkehe!

Yes, within 6 months we should be at peak delirium I would imagine. I don't know how long it will stay at that level and I don't know how people move on from it.  Maybe a few will have a dark night of the soul and come out the other side, but I think suicides will peak in the aftermath. It's not just delusional beliefs being shattered, but a looming financial crisis as well. It's very sad, but despair over the future and disillusionment over the past are difficult pills to swallow for those that grew up getting trophies just for showing up. A lot of them are going to choke.

Anyone that has real expertise and a history of ground level competence in virtually any field will tell you that the press is wrong constantly whenever it reports about that field, yet they never think about how much of the rest of it is also wrong. It's most of it. Financial news is bullshit. Health news is bullshit. Industry news is bullshit. Political news is bullshit. Tech news is bullshit. News about the rest of the world is bullshit. Entertainment news is a stream of diarrhea and celebrity news is like an endemic mental dysentery.

What isn't bullshit is typically just opinion and dumb opinions at that.

Your peers complain about college not teaching them anything, disregarding that the people at the top of the educational institutions were given their PhDs from the very same academic cabal running the system that taught them. They produce the "experts" that are at the CDC, FDA, SEC, USDA, and everywhere else, but they cannot be expected to properly credential educators to teach high school? Every step along the way, for the past few decades, academic credentials and political purity tests have replaced experience and competence. A bunch of DEI psychobabble, behavioral science voodoo, and funding-intensive administrative bureaucracy, has replaced foundational education in the public school system. Everywhere you look are MBAs and JDs from expensive schools, running everything. Everywhere there is rot, you can find them collecting top of the field salaries.

I don't believe there's a real fix in the short or medium term.

I expect there will be at least a half billion fewer people on the planet by 2030, maybe closer to two billion if shit really goes sideways (or is more successful that eugenicists had dreamed). The first world will see a larger share of that than they have since the 19th century, thanks to the experts. Trust is a renewable resource, but it's going to take a very long time for it to grow to maturity after it was all burned to the ground starting in 2020. The outlier population that lost their ability to discern who deserved their trust, your associates digging foxholes, are cannon fodder at this point. Nobody is coming to save them and they'll spit in the face of those that might try. Let them take the boosters, the Ozempic, the AIDS prevention drugs, the vanity drugs, and let them go, because they're gone. They have become a commodity no different than heads of cattle. All you can do is be kind to them and try to keep from stepping in their shit all the time.

My AI oracle, conveniently embedded in my browser, on deaths per year:
   

The genomic experts created a respiratory infection for disease experts. The medical experts advised the political experts to force people to perform pointless rituals to prevent the spread of the disease. The biochemistry experts, paid by emergency planning experts, used a delivery platform for "vaccine" shots for the pharmaceutical experts to manufacture that has a high affinity for reproductive organs. The public health experts then advised the safety experts to force people (including children) to take a worthless shot contaminated with oncogenic promoters that also exacerbates underlying cardiovascular diseases. Experts on law have consulted with experts on ethics, who agree that this is entirely legal and ethical.

Our AI oracle leaves out that "unintentional injuries" are not necessarily grandma slipping down the stairs or or cousin Ed falling into the wood chipper, but somewhere around the third leading cause of death in the US is largely medical errors. The most risky thing you can do in the US, independent of dumb luck genetics and lifestyle choices, is be a patient of the US medical system. They tell you it's the best in the world, but nobody forces them to show us in numbers who it's best for.

Between 2025-2030 "unintentional injuries" should flip to number one, though it should also flip to "intentional and preventable injuries". The overwhelming majority of cardiovascular, cancer, and respiratory infection deaths, will be at least partially attributable to the medial branch of the military industrial complex. USAID, the NIH bag man Fauci, the academic institutions, the biolabs all over the world, the pharma companies, are all party to it. Every shot compounds the consequences on cardiovascular function, reduces immune function further, and takes trillions of dice rolls on potentially oncogenic effects (and prion disease) via the genetically modified cell factories.

I think the fuses were already lit before the first ballot for Trump was ever cast. Trump will be trying to put out new fires as he simultaneously tries to burn lots of things down. It will be interesting to see how it unfolds and I hope to live long enough to see what emerges out the other side. When they're finished burning things down and fighting in the streets, I'll be ready to help however I can with what comes after.

BUT... you should be careful listening to me about anything. The grand governing body of Internet experts convened in 2020 and determined that I am, in fact, an expert in nothing. The Science and 99% of all experts agree. I'm merely using some linguistic sleight of hand and an unprecedented sting of lucky guesses to stay months or years ahead of their game.

My PhD thesis in GTFO will continue to be compiled one post at a time in spite of them and, for now at least, there is nothing they can do to stop me.

Quote:Donald Trump, Elon Musk's DOGE plan to shrink USAID workforce from 8,000 to 300 .

And:

Quote:DOGE aims to eliminate what is perceived as bureaucratic waste, potentially · saving up to $2 trillion from the federal budget.

I understand that everybody is so very tired of government bloat, but I have to wonder what all of the thousands of government employees are going to do for employment? Musk says they'll be creating jobs in the AI, automation, software, data management, and cybersecurity sectors. It seems to be that AI would reduce the need for human employees in these areas.

I can't see any way for such massive overhaul of our emtire system being implemented in such a sort time span to work, unless the go to digital currency, UBI and a complete takeover of Social Security, along with a new healthcare system.

Trump is addressing everything that's wrong all at once, and there will be no stopping of the domino effect.

It may all be irrelavent, anyway. By the time his EO's work their way to the SCOTUS the MSM will have delivered more than enough propaganda to swing the majority to the liberals in the midterms.....solidifying the fact that We, The People have no real power.

It's been interesting, so far. Those who believed government corruption went beyond our wildest immaginations have learned that we put too many limitations on our immaginations.

It's a semi-controlled demolition, IMO.

There are rumors Trump will be announcing GESARA on SB Sunday.

Quote:The National Economic Security and Recovery Act (NESARA) is a set of proposed economic reforms for the United States suggested during the 1990s by private citizen Harvey Francis Barnard. Barnard claimed that the proposals, which included replacing the income tax with a national sales tax, abolishing compound interest on secured loans, and returning to a bimetallic currency, would result in 0% inflation and a more stable economy. The proposals were never introduced before Congress.

Since the early 2000s, NESARA has become better known as the subject of a cult-like conspiracy theory whose original promoter was Internet personality Shaini Candace Goodwin, better known as "Dove of Oneness". Goodwin, who appropriated the NESARA notions without Barnard's consent, claimed that the act was actually passed with additional provisions as the National Economic Security and Reformation Act, and then suppressed by the George W. Bush administration and the Supreme Court. Goodwin's conspiracy emails were translated into several languages and had a large following online.[1] Adherents to the theory have also been using the name GESARA (standing either for Global Economic Security and Recovery Act[2] or Global Economic Security and Reformation Act[3]) in order to extend the proposed NESARA reforms outside the US and to the rest of the world. 

I'd never heard the term before so WIKI obliged me with a simple explaination.

Yeah, there were some real sketchy people that pushed that in the past 6 years or so. I think the "Quantum Financial System" bullshit was loosely tied in with Q grifters and NESARA/GESARA too, along with a debt jubilee.

There is always a debt jubilee, just not for us plebs. We provide the collateral for everything the system does, but the system shares none of the risk we underwrite.

Sentiment is growing. They just need a champion.

Sadly, putting them all on welfare would be far cheaper than leaving them to do the reprehensible deeds they have been doing to the American taxpayers in their careers.  Far, FAR, cheaper!
