Digging Out the Deep State?

Speaking of shadowy clowns pulling strings from the shadows, it appears that US Presidents haven’t actually held the executive power in the USA since 1935. It all sounds a bit hopiumatic, to be sure, but the more squealing that comes out of Washington as the various agencies are shut down and their bureaucrats are disemployed, the more optimistic we should be.

The Great Reclamation has begun. The Supreme Court just restored Trump’s constitutional power to remove rogue commissioners from federal agencies. For the first time in ninety years, the President can clean house. The walls of bureaucratic tyranny are cracking.

Since 1935, the presidency has been a hostage. A hidden ruling called Humphrey’s Executor v. United States created a shield around unelected bureaucrats buried inside so-called independent agencies. They could not be fired. Not by Congress. Not by the people. Not even by the Commander in Chief. These were the Deep State’s castles inside the government. Protected. Untouchable. Writing rules with the power of law while answering to no one. For decades, they dictated policy, destroyed accountability, and made every president a figurehead in his own house.

That ended this week.

In a ruling few expected but history will never forget, the Supreme Court confirmed that President Trump has full constitutional authority to remove Democratic commissioners Mary Boyle, Richard Trumka Jr, and Alexander Hoehn-Saric from the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The Court reminded the nation that executive power belongs to the President alone. Not to agencies. Not to boards. Not to faceless lawyers.

The 6-3 decision has detonated the foundation of bureaucratic immunity. Trump can now terminate any commissioner who obstructs reform, dismantle ideological mandates, and reclaim executive control over agencies that have operated like private empires. The ruling sets a precedent that can sweep through every corner of the federal maze — FTC, SEC, NLRB, CDC, FDA, DOE. Hundreds of unelected operators who hid behind the term “independent” are now exposed.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is only the beginning. Nearly 700 positions across Washington fall under the same model. With this judgment, Trump holds the legal weapon he was denied in his first term. The sword is back in his hands.

Inside the Deep State, panic has already begun. For decades, they didn’t need to win elections. They only needed to control who stayed behind. By embedding loyal operatives inside untouchable posts, they guaranteed their agenda survived every presidency. They wrote laws under the cover of regulation. They censored industries through “safety standards.” They shifted policy without ever standing for a vote. That structure is now collapsing.

This decision is not about staffing. It’s about sovereignty. The hidden coup that began ninety years ago has been reversed. The unelected state no longer outranks the elected one. The legal scaffolding that protected the regime is being dismantled piece by piece.

That is why the media is silent. They understand what this means. If Trump uses this authority — and he will — the entire architecture of shadow governance will fall. Agencies that weaponized policy for ideology will be stripped of power. Mandates will be rescinded. Political infiltrators will be removed. The Deep State’s invisible army is finally within reach.

Trump’s second term begins now, with the power he was denied in 2016. The presidency is no longer a cage. It is a command post. He can purge the administrative state, rebuild federal institutions that answer to the people, and restore a government that serves its citizens instead of its masters.

The Left Discovers the Deep State

Dan Hodges is a son of a British Labour Member of Parliament and a former member of the British Labour Party. While he is a columnist for the Daily Mail, he’s one of their more reliably leftist writers. So, it’s interesting to observe that he has reached much the same conclusions that Q, Qanon, and pretty much everyone to the right of the conservative gatekeeper’s club have.

We must confront the outrageous truth. A shadowy cabal of men is running Britain – and the Prime Minister is not one of them.

You don’t say… Clown World has always preferred to operate by pulling the strings of its puppet politicians from behind the scenes.

The Weirdness Escalates

Donald Trump and Tony Blair are going to govern Gaza. Which presumably is a new use of the word “govern” with which I have hitherto been unfamiliar.

Donald Trump dramatically announced that he would rule Gaza with Sir Tony Blair if Hamas accept his 20-point peace plan.

The US President declared at a press conference at The White House it was a ‘big day, a beautiful day’ and ‘potentially one of the greatest days ever in civilisation’.

Mr Trump quashed rumours that the former British PM would oversee control of the territory – revealing it would instead be him.

He said a ‘board of peace’ would be ‘headed by a gentleman known as President Donald J Trump of the United States’.

He insisted this was ‘not at my request’ but said it’s ‘what I want’ as ‘it’s so important that I’m willing to do it’.

He said the board would have leaders from other countries, including Sir Tony, who he described as ‘a very good man’.

The plan, which the MAGA leader has circulated to Arab leaders, was released after Mr Trump met the Israeli PM in Washington.

The two leaders arrived at the press conference late, after discussing the terms of the deal, which has yet to be finalized with Netanyahu, Arab leaders, and Hamas.

‘Let’s call it eternal peace in the Middle East,’ Trump said triumphantly. ‘This is far more than anybody expected, but the level of support that I have had from the nations in the Middle East and neighbors of Israel has been incredible.’

Nothing would surprise me at this point. Aliens, the Second Coming, Q taking down Clown World, the EU surrendering to Yemen, I mean, at some point you have to simply sit back and acknowledge that it’s not even possible to make any sense of world events.

Clown World is certainly the most apt apellation, but doesn’t even begin to do the full extent of it justice.

FULL RELEASE BY WHITE HOUSE:

1. Gaza will be a deradicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors.

2. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough.

3. If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal.

4. Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased, will be returned.

5. Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 life sentence prisoners plus 1700 Gazans who were detained after October 7th 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans.

6. Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries.

7. Upon acceptance of this agreement, full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip. At a minimum, aid quantities will be consistent with what was included in the January 19, 2025, agreement regarding humanitarian aid, including rehabilitation of infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage), rehabilitation of hospitals and bakeries, and entry of necessary equipment to remove rubble and open roads.

8. Entry of distribution and aid in the Gaza Strip will proceed without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions not associated in any manner with either party. Opening the Rafah crossing in both directions will be subject to the same mechanism implemented under the January 19, 2025 agreement.

9. Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of State to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump’s peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment.

10. A Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energize Gaza will be created by convening a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East. Many thoughtful investment proposals and exciting development ideas have been crafted by well-meaning international groups, and will be considered to synthesize the security and governance frameworks to attract and facilitate these investments that will create jobs, opportunity, and hope for future Gaza.

11. A special economic zone will be established with preferred tariff and access rates to be negotiated with participating countries.

12. No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return. We will encourage people to stay and offer them the opportunity to build a better Gaza.

13. Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. There will be a process of demilitarization of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors, which will include placing weapons permanently beyond use through an agreed process of decommissioning, and supported by an internationally funded buy back and reintegration program all verified by the independent monitors. New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and to peaceful coexistence with their neighbors.

14. A guarantee will be provided by regional partners to ensure that Hamas, and the factions, comply with their obligations and that New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbors or its people.

15. The United States will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) to immediately deploy in Gaza. The ISF will train and provide support to vetted Palestinian police forces in Gaza, and will consult with Jordan and Egypt who have extensive experience in this field. This force will be the long-term internal security solution. The ISF will work with Israel and Egypt to help secure border areas, along with newly trained Palestinian police forces. It is critical to prevent munitions from entering Gaza and to facilitate the rapid and secure flow of goods to rebuild and revitalize Gaza. A deconfliction mechanism will be agreed upon by the parties.

16. Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza. As the ISF establishes control and stability, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will withdraw based on standards, milestones, and timeframes linked to demilitarization that will be agreed upon between the IDF, ISF, the guarantors, and the Unites States, with the objective of a secure Gaza that no longer poses a threat to Israel, Egypt, or its citizens. Practically, the IDF will progressively hand over the Gaza territory it occupies to the ISF according to an agreement they will make with the transitional authority until they are withdrawn completely from Gaza, save for a security perimeter presence that will remain until Gaza is properly secure from any resurgent terror threat.

17. In the event Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above, including the scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in the terror-free areas handed over from the IDF to the ISF.

18. An interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence to try and change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis by emphasizing the benefits that can be derived from peace.

19. While Gaza re-development advances and when the PA reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people.

20. The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence.

Lower Your Expectations

A lot of people were very disappointed with the behavior of doctors during the Covid period. But they shouldn’t have been, because doctors, like a lot of things in Clown World, are still coasting undeserved on the past.

This is what most people imagine doctors vow in taking the Hippocratic Oath.

Those taking the “original” Hippocratic Oath promise to:

  • respect and support their teachers
  • share medical knowledge with others who are interested
  • use their knowledge of medicine and diet to help patients
  • avoid harming patients, including providing no “deadly medicine” even if requested to do so
  • not provide a “remedy” that causes an abortion
  • seek help from other physicians (such as a surgeon) when necessary
  • avoid “mischief,” “injustice,” and “sexual relations” during visits to patients’ homes
  • keep patient information confidential.

In reality, less than 2 percent of doctors take that oath. Many never take any oath at all. So manage your expectations accordingly.

The Miracle of the Man of Steel

It didn’t take long for the scriptwriters to address one of the issues that was raised immediately here, as well as every other place where anyone had ever gone deer hunting.

The surgeon who operated on Charlie Kirk said the bullet that killed him miraculously did not exit his neck, likely saving others from getting hit. Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet revealed on Saturday night that he had spoken with the surgeon who made the comments directly to him.

In a post on X, Kolvet wrote: ‘I apologize this is somewhat graphic, but in this case, the fact that there wasn’t an exit wound is probably another miracle, and I want people to know.’

The surgeon told Kolvet that the bullet ‘absolutely should have gone through, which is very very normal for a high powered, high velocity round’.

‘I’ve seen wounds from this caliber many times and they always just go through everything. This would have taken a moose or two,’ the surgeon told Kolvet.

A .30-06 bolt action rifle, the kind that was discovered hidden in the woods after Kirk was killed, is used to kill deer, elk, moose, bears and other big game animals. Because this rifle can kill animals six times bigger than humans, the fact that Kirk’s neck stopped this bullet was an ‘absolute miracle’, according to the surgeon Kolvet spoke with.

‘His bone was so healthy and the density was so so impressive that he’s like the man of steel. It should have just gone through and through. It likely would have killed those standing behind him too,’ the surgeon said to Kolvet.

They really do assume people are stupid and will simply believe everything they’re told, no matter how nonsensical. Safe and effective indeed!

Next Man Up

It certainly appears that Mr. Fuentes took the offer that his immediate predecessor turned down. Isn’t it fascinating to observe how the self-styled “most-canceled man in America” is suddenly being granted mainstream platforms?

At least we have the answer to who the next major gatekeeper will be. It should be amusing to see Mr. Fuentes doing interviews with Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Dennis Prager, and the Weinstein brothers. The conversations about conversations should be informative indeed.

There is an informative commentary on US politics in Garrison Keillor’s Lake Wobegon Boy.

Uncle Henry sat down. “Otto could speak off the cuff as easily as you could spit prune pits. He could talk for a full hour with only one or two thoughts to keep him company, and when people suggested he run for Congress, he said he’d be delighted. He had done well for himself, selling flavored grain alcohol to nondrinkers, but the market was drying up now that Montanans could walk into any pharmacy and purchase all the cocaine they needed.

“Otto campaigned on the back of a manure spreader. He said, ‘This is the first time I have spoken from a Republican platform.’ He made speeches against Wall Street and the railroad barons and their terrible greed at the expense of the honest workingman and tradesman, and he was elected with sixty percent of the vote and went to Washington, where he discovered that his outspoken opposition to the railroads had raised the cash value of his vote on railroad bills considerably. A Republican in favor of free enterprise got chicken feed for his vote compared to the People’s Champion from the High Plains.

“Otto once told my father that bribery was simply a case of the free market at work simplifying the decision-making process. He had a fine time in Congress and did not overexert himself. He met with the Northern Pacific and Great Northern lawyers, who were helpful in advising him on regulatory matters. He passed antitrust laws that had about as much effect as a fart in a cyclone, and every two years he put on his old clothes and came home to roam the state and thunder against the Special Interests and the Malefactors of Wealth, and the Republicans put up some squinty old guy with bad breath, and Otto was elected to four terms.

“He moved to New York City after he got beat, running for a fifth term. There had been a bill that would allow the railroads to trade parts of their original land grant for parts of the Crow Reservation and thus open up forty square miles for copper mining, and Otto was going to vote for it, and then Balestrand started talking to him about the Indians and what a rough deal they got, how they were robbed, and the two of them shared a bottle of O-ho-no-ma-wa-hee, and Otto’s conscience was aroused after years of lying dormant. He voted nay. The bill passed, of course, and in the fall, the Republicans put up a cowboy against him, a Rough Rider in the Spanish War, a husband and a father of six, with a level gaze and a square jaw and a cleft in his chin, and the Republican newspapers accused Otto of wanting to give Montana back to the savages, and he was thrashed in the election.“

Back to Afghanistan

In case you’re not convinced that there are multiple Trumps, try to square the intention of this one to start a war with China with his previous anti-war positions.

President Donald Trump on Thursday suggested that he is working to reestablish a U.S. presence at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, four years after America’s chaotic withdrawal from the country left the base in the Taliban’s hands. Trump floated the idea during a press conference with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer as he wrapped up a state visit to the U.K. and tied it to the need for the U.S. to counter its top rival, China.

“We’re trying to get it back,” Trump said of the base in an aside to a question about ending Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

While Trump described his call for the U.S. military to reestablish a position in Afghanistan as “breaking news,” the Republican president has previously raised the idea. The White House did not immediately respond to questions about whether it or the Pentagon has done any planning around returning to the sprawling air base, which was central to America’s longest war.

During his first presidency, Trump set the terms for the U.S. withdrawal by negotiating a deal with the Taliban. The 20-year conflict came to an end in disquieting fashion under President Joe Biden: The U.S.-backed Afghan government collapsed, a grisly bombing killed 13 U.S. troops and 170 others, and thousands of desperate Afghans descended on Kabul’s airport in search of a way out before the final U.S. aircraft departed over the Hindu Kush.

The president repeated his view that a U.S. presence at Bagram is of value because of its proximity to China, the most significant economic and military competitor to the United States. “But one of the reasons we want that base is, as you know, it’s an hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons,” Trump said. “So a lot of things are happening.”

A lot has changed since the withdrawal from Afghanistan. And in light of events near the Russian border, I very much doubt China is going to permit the US military to re-establish a base near one of its more strategic locations.

Clown World is almost certainly going to cause the US military lose a major war before the USA collapses. Indeed, that may be the proximate cause of the collapse, if Clown World does not collapse itself first.

It’s Just a Joke

And a coincidence, right? You know Feynman proved everything is just coincidence and confirmation bias, right, anon?

A now-deleted X account appears to have had prior knowledge of the brutal assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and subsequently posted a threatening date for President Donald Trump.
Trump was shot during an outdoor speech in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024.

The account, @TallyHallAlbum, posted an eerily specific “joke” on September 3, declaring it would be “funny if someone like Charlie Kirk got shot on September 10th LMAO.”

Just days after the tragedy, the user followed up with a cryptic reply: “did i” – and then escalated the threat by posting “Donald Trump. December 14th.” before scrubbing the entire profile from existence.

The question this raises is pretty obvious. Which Donald Trump would that be?

Hiding the Bodies: A Dialogue

Clown World can’t hide the bodies, but they have been able to hide the cause of death and the growing number of post-vaccine deaths using a variety of statistical “corrections”.

ETHICAL SKEPTIC: On left is the raw unprocessed infant death data fm the CDC – a 25-year legacy trend. On right is the disciplined inflection analytic. It removes 1) seasonality, 2) noise, 3) false trend/inflection. Those who can’t/won’t see this are obtuse, malicious pharma sycophants.

In your opinion, what is the specific incentive behind this murderous system?

ETHICAL SKEPTIC: My opinion—speculative yet consistent with observed patterns in ponerology—is that a kind of tacit contract is struck between these flesh-and-blood servants and the darker intelligences they host. The transaction is simple: if they deliver suffering, particularly of the innocent, they generate a form of energy or “currency” that sustains their demonic patrons. In return, they are rewarded handsomely in this life with wealth, power, or influence. Research into destructive ideologies and totalitarian personalities (cf. Andrzej Łobaczewski, Political Ponerology) hints at such dynamics: suffering becomes not a byproduct but a cultivated resource, systematized and exchanged in what amounts to a pathological economy.

Whether one interprets this literally as spiritual commerce or metaphorically as the sociopathic reward system of oppressive hierarchies, the observed outcomes remain strikingly similar. Yet this bargain is no ordinary addiction. It cleaves the soul into an immortal entourage that extends beyond one’s lifetime. In the end, each person chooses the allegiance of their energy—whether to align with the destructive current that feeds on innocence, or with its opposite, which fosters life, dignity, and spiritual renewal.

The Dragon and the Elephant

In its futile attempts to keep control of the West, Clown World has completely botched the two primary geostrategic priorities of the imperial USA.

  • Prevent an effective alliance between Russia and China
  • Keep India on the team

Clown World is clearly cooked at this point, even if it somehow manages to fix its growing number of self-inflicted problems in the USA, the UK, and the EU, which it won’t, because it can’t.

I also note the obvious falsehood of all the clowns shilling the idea that Xi has lost power. That clearly is not the case, as evidenced by the starring role he is playing at what appears to be the most significant global meeting since the Potsdam Conference, the current Tianjin Summit that is the 25th meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization that ends today in China.
