I said right after the election the foreign policy and econ institutions would be the first and easiest to deconstruct. I also said the Intelligence, Main Justice, National Security and Defense apparatus would be the most difficult.
Here’s the high elevation picture of how it works. The more President Trump (the Executive Branch) doesn’t use the institution, the easier it is to take them apart. Foreign policy is being run out of the White House, with Rubio doing well. All economic policy is being run out of the White House, with Bessent and Lutnick doing well.
[Meanwhile, Trump is ignoring (for now) the CIA silo, as if they didn’t exist; but that cannot last long (see Ukraine). HHS, Ed, Energy, Interior and EPA are making slow and steady progress]
Conversely, President Trump leaves Pam Bondi (Justice), Kash Patel (FBI) and Tulsi Gabbard (DNI) to run/manage their own shops. It’s an issue of (in)ability, and you can see Main Justice and the FBI remains a hot mess. Bondi and Patel refuse to call their institutions corrupt, so the operators within them just keep doing what they have always done. This was predictable, if you just look honestly at the big picture dynamic.
Today, Marco Rubio starts taking apart around 20% of Foggy Bottom. “The Trump administration has begun an aggressive shake-up at the State Department that will close 132 agency offices, including those launched to further human rights, advance democracy overseas, counter extremism, and prevent war crimes.” {READ MORE}
MARCO RUBIO – “Today America confronts a new era of great power competition and the rise of a multipolar order with a State Department that stifles creativity, lacks accountability, and occasionally veers into outright hostility to American interests. The Department has long struggled to perform basic diplomatic functions, even as both its size and cost to the American taxpayer has ballooned over the past fifteen years.
The problem is not a lack of money, or even dedicated talent, but rather a system where everything takes too much time, costs too much money, involves too many individuals, and all too often ends up failing the American people.”
“Bureaus and offices fight to be included on the approval chains for the most mundane of memos, only then to reach agreement on drafts that are bloated in length while stripped of all meaning. Motivated and creative State Department employees see their ideas watered down by turf battles until they give up, disillusioned, while the inboxes of senior officials are inundated with hundreds of requests for approval. While the talented and loyal are driven into indifference, radical ideologues and bureaucratic infighters have learned to play on this exhaustion to push through their own agendas that are often at odds with those of the President and undermine the interests of the United States.
An example of an out-of-control Department is the Global Engagement Center (GEC) that I shuttered last week. The office engaged with media outlets and platforms to censor speech it disagreed with, including that of the President of the United States, who its director in 2019 accused of employing “the same techniques of disinformation as the Russians.” Despite Congress voting to shutter it, the GEC simply renamed itself and continued operating as if nothing had changed.
Unless we confront the underlying bureaucratic culture that prevents the State Department from carrying out an effective foreign policy, while allowing offices like GEC to flourish in the shadows, nothing will change. That is why I am initiating a broad reorganization of the Department to address the steady growth of bureaucracy, duplication of functions, and capture by special interests that have crippled American Foreign Policy.
We will drain the bloated, bureaucratic swamp, empowering the Department from the ground up. That means regional bureaus and our embassies will now have the tools necessary to advance America’s interests abroad because region-specific functions will be streamlined to increase functionality. Redundant offices will also be removed, and non-statutory programs misaligned with America’s core national interests will cease to exist. All non-security foreign assistance will be consolidated in regional bureaus charged with implementing U.S. foreign policy in specific geographic areas.
This will ensure every bureau and office in the Department of State has clear responsibility and mission. If something concerns Africa, the bureau of African Affairs will handle it. Economic policy will be consolidated under the Under Secretary for Economic Growth, Energy, and Environment, while the responsibilities for security assistance and arms control will be united under the Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security.
Until now, overlapping mandates paired with conflicting responsibilities created an environment ripe for ideological capture and meaningless turf wars. With a bloated budget and unclear mandate, the expansive domain of the former Under Secretary for Civilian Security, Human Rights, and Democracy (known internally as the “J Family”), provided a fertile environment for activists to redefine “human rights” and “democracy” and to pursue their projects at the taxpayer expense, even when they were in direct conflict with the goals of the Secretary, the President, and the American people.
The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor became a platform for left-wing activists to wage vendettas against “anti-woke” leaders in nations such as Poland, Hungary, and Brazil, and to transform their hatred of Israel into concrete policies such as arms embargoes. The Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration funneled millions of taxpayer dollars to international organizations and NGOs that facilitated mass migration around the world, including the invasion on our southern border.
To transfer the remaining functions of USAID to such a monstrosity of bureaus would be to undo DOGE’s work to build a more efficient and accountable government. Consequently, the bureaus and offices in the J Family will be placed under the new Coordinator for Foreign Assistance and Humanitarian Affairs charged with returning them to their original mission of advancing human rights and religious freedom, not promoting radical causes at taxpayer expense.
The American people deserve a State Department willing and able to advance their safety, security, and prosperity around the world, one respectful of their tax dollars and the sacred trust of government service, and one prepared to meet the immense challenges of the 21st Century. Starting this week, they will have one.” (link)

The “swamp” includes the entire DC government.
It is controlled by the “deepstate” intel agencies, non elected
bureaucrates, the Uniparty-Republicans/Democrates, foreign
intel agencies, lobbyists-paid and unpaid.
The Uniparty is controlled by the intel agencies.
What you see and hear about Congress is a Potempkin Village
facade of pretending to govern.
President Trump is attempting to dismantle part of the facade
known as Washington DC.
The “deepstate” controls the government and overrrides the
US Constitution.
The 3 branches of government that are suppose to be in
control of government are manipulated by the “deepstate”
which is a term for:
32 Intel agencies + , non elected
bureaucrates, the Uniparty-Republicans/Democrates, foreign
intel agencies, lobbyists-paid and unpaid.
We The People have actually become assets because of Congress.
The UNITED STATES is a Corporation located in the District Of Columbia (Act of 1871, 41st Congress)
The United States Reorganization Act of 1871 was structured as a foreign owned Corporation and called UNITED STATES.
The Act even adopted the Republic constitution but changed only one word.
The word Constitution FOR the United States, to the Constitution OF the United States.
Therefore this change made the constitution a possession of the government corporation and NOT the possession of the people.
The only power this government had was to govern over matters of COMMERCE within the District of Columbia.
What we call STATE OF (YOUR STATE), is actually a SUB corporation of the UNITED STATES CORPORATION engaged in matters of commerce.
This STATE is not to be confused with the Union State of (your State), which is part of the original pre-Civil war Republic.
Therefore, the UNITED STATES (Corp) is foreign to the Union States as its geographic boundaries are restricted to the land area of the District of Columbia.
This distinction has been recognized in numerous court cases before the U.S. Supreme court.

The fact of the matter is, almost ALL government entities are now commercial contracting corporations of some type, complete with a Tax Identification Number (TIN), and a full Dunn and Bradstreet credit report!

Captain Convey Note about the DC Corporation called UNITED STATES.
The Uniparty is a word used to describe the democrate and republican party as one party.
Elected Uniparty members represent the corporation called UNITED STATES.
The all caps refer to a corporation.

When you begin to understand that the “government” located in the District Of Columbia is actually a Corporation called UNITED STATES you will begin to understand how you are controlled and why.
A Corporation is formed to make money.
It often has a board of directors.
They are called board members.
The board members of the District Of Columbia, DC, are made up of Senate and House Members.
The actually represent the Corporation known as UNITED STATES.
They operate inside the District Of Columbia which is where the Corporation called UNITED STATES exists.
Our Republic was replaced with a Corporation called United States by the
United States Reorganization Act of 1871.
The 41st congress made the United States the, UNITED STATES, a Corporation located inside the District Of Columbia.
The 41st Congress did NOT have the authority to incorporate the original Constitution into the new Corporation that was formed called UNITED STATES.
WE THE PEOPLE up until the 41st congress were in control of a Republic.
All this changed in 1871.
Since 1871 the Corportation located in DC known as UNITED STATES has controlled this nation.
This Corporation called UNITED STATES has become more and more corrupt as time has passed.
Americans are under the ILLUSION they control congress, office of the president etc.
Its true we vote and elect “officials” to congress and the office of the president.
The real power lies in the Corporation known as UNITED STATES and NOT WE THE PEOPLE.
This is why congress via the Uniparty is self perpetuating and resists change to how the corporation called UNITED STATES operates.
President Donald Trump was recently elected as President of the Corporation called United States located in the District of Columbia which is not actually part of what we think of “the united states”.
Does Trump know the truth about the corporation in DC?
He should.
Would Trump or any other “elected” official working in the DC Corporation ever reveal the truth about history and what the District Of Columbia really is?
I would say no.
Because that would be TABOO.
Or
It is possible they don’t know about the United States Reorganization Act of 1871. https://www.youhavetheright.com/tour1/
They should know also.
US history is a selective topic for congress or any president especially when they can’t afford to let the DC Corporation known as UNITED STATES out of the bag!
There are 132 lawyers in the UNITED STATES house of “representatives”.
There are 51 lawyers in the UNITED STATES senate.
A corporation exists to make money.
It represents those who have invested in the corporation as stock owners in a limited way.
The corporation pretends to represent their stockholders until their stockholders for various reasons rebel by selling their stock or demanding to be heard in a voting stock holders meeting.
WE THE PEOPLE via The United States Reorganization Act of 1871, 41st congress, have become “voting” stock holders in the corporation known as UNITED STATES.
WE THE PEOPLE don’t own stock in the DC Corportation Called UNITED STATES.
The board of directors of a corporation control the corporation along with the CEO of the corporation.
The board of directors and the president of the corporation are influenced by their stockholders according to how much stock they own.
Money talks in DC and those who own the most stock have the most influence.
Individual stock holders with less stock have much less influence.
The bottom line is this:
The American public are under the illusion they control congress and the office of the President because they can vote.
This “control” is limited to only removing one of the UNIPARTY “board of directors” in the congress and the CEO of the Corporation known as UNITED STATES who is known as the President of the UNITED STATES.
Now that you know the TRUTH about “our” government it gives you the correct perspective of what congress and the office of the president really represents.
Its NOT WE THE PEOPLE and hasn’t been since 1871.
I voted.
But I know the TRUTH about my vote.
I voted for a member of a UNIPARTY “board of directors” in the corporation known as UNITED STATES.
Ask your US Congress representative about this.
Ask your US Senator about this.
You won’t get an answer or you won’t get a truthful answer.
Ask the President of the UNITED STATES about this.
I doubt that you will get an answer that is the complete TRUTH.
You don’t have to ask.
This is because NOW you KNOW the TRUTH.
Its painful isn’t it?

So is there hope for We The People?
99% of people in DC NEVER talk about the DC Corporation.
They NEVER say ANYTHING about:

At the end of the Civil war congress reconvened and passed what was called the United States Reorganization act of 1871, also known as the Act to provide a municipal government for the District of Columbia.
However, this government was different; it was structured as a foreign owned CORPORATION and called the UNITED STATES!
It even adopted the Republic constitution but changed only one word. They changed the word Constitution FOR the United States, to the Constitution OF the United States.
Therefore this change made the constitution a possession of the government corporation and NOT the possession of the people.
The only power this government had was to govern over matters of COMMERCE within the District of Columbia.
What we call STATE OF (YOUR STATE), is actually a SUB corporation of the UNITED STATES CORPORATION engaged in matters of commerce.
This STATE is not to be confused with the Union State of (your State), which is part of the original pre-Civil war Republic.
Therefore, the UNITED STATES (Corp) is foreign to the Union States as its geographic boundaries are restricted to the land area of the District of Columbia.
This distinction has been recognized in numerous court cases before the U.S. Supreme court. Don’t take our word for it, read from the book Cooperative Federalism by Gerald Brown, Ed.D.
Read The Introduction Below.
COOPERATIVE FEDERALISM, HOW THE STATES OF THE UNION ARE SEPARATE, DISTINCT, AND FOREIGN TO THE UNITED STATES
Things are not as they seem in American history and law. Most often, people speak and write as if America is one country operating under one government that has plenary authority throughout a single nation.
Most often, people speak and write under the notion that any government in America, whether it be local, state, or federal, is all part of one gigantic system.
The federal government is often described as both a national
governmentand a central government.
It is sometimes described as an umbrella government over the States.
Conversely, the States are typically described as regions or subdivisions of the United States.
History textbooks in schools and colleges, newspapers in common
circulation, and other forms of media tell stories that lead one to believe that federal law supersedes State law because federal law is the law of the land and nation and, thus, State law must yield to the “higher” authority.
The problem with all this is that none of it is accurate or true to our American heritage.
Every one of these positions is based on an assumed premise that is false.
The result is that the American people are deceived regarding the proper role these governments are to have in their lives and acquiesce to government requests when the agents of government have no lawful authority to make the request.
From its beginning the federal government was designed to be a government of limited jurisdiction for specific, enumerated purposes, and not one of plenary jurisdiction over all of American society.
The passion for individual liberty the Founding Fathers had is reflected in the design of the federal government as a government of limited authority that would not interfere in the lives of Americans, but would promote and protect personal liberty.
For decades we Americans have been slowly, unwittingly, and nearly
imperceptibly surrendering our unalienable rights to our federal government in many ways.
This has allowed that government to grow into a huge, unwieldy machine in its behavior back toward the citizens of the States. In turn, each of the States exercises power over its people not authorized by fundamental law.
Those in control of the machinery of government seem to be more interested in building the empire of government than in protecting and promoting the personal liberties upon which American society was founded and upon which it has flourished.
Because we have lost sight of the nature of the relationship between the federal and State governments and the limited authority each
possess, our individual rights and liberties have been trampled on.
Americans are routinely coerced into doing things that fundamental law does not require, and both property and freedoms are being threatened and lost.
This essay is a brief outline of some of the legal aspects of early American history, the step-wise progress of how the United States government came into existence, the relationship between the States of the Union and the United States government as recorded in historical documents and court cases, and how it all applies to us today in the principle
of cooperative federalism.
I will show that the States of the Union existed before the
United States government, that the people of the states created the United States government as a federal government, not as a national government, and that the United States government has limited authority within any of the States of the Union.
I will provide, in summary format, the dominant features of cooperative federalism as it is designed to operate in the American experience.
My purpose is to expose the fallacy of the assumed premise that the federal government is superior to the States of the Union, that
federal law supersedes State law, and that the United States of America is “one nation”.
Of course, this has strong implications with respect to the issues related to federal authority within the 50 States of the Union on any topic of law.
I begin by establishing the context and setting the foundation as to why the States of the Union are nations and how they are
separate, distinct, and even foreign to the United States.
I understand the disbelief and frustration many folk display with the position I express when I say that the States of the Union are separate, distinct, and foreign to the United States.
When I first began my search for truth in this legal jungle, my mind was clouded with the rhetoric of the history textbooks and media jargon.
I believe that, fundamentally, the disbelief is based on the popular notion which this current generation has very effectively been taught—the rhetoric that the United States is “one nation under God”, when in fact, The United States of America is a collection of nations banded together for a common purpose.
Because historians, politicians, journalists, and others are fond of referring to the mass of American society as a “nation”, it is not well understood that the federal government has only limited authority that is separate, distinct, and foreign to the States of the Union.
That the United States is separate, distinct, and foreign to the States of the Union is the basis for cooperative federalism in America and is a most fundamental part of our history and law.
And it shows up in myriad ways which we often overlook.
To understand this, one needs to go back in time to gain an overview of these issues.
Do your own research and learn the truth.

Are we the people goverened by the ever increasing “need” to pass laws, rewrite laws and have them interpreted by lawyers of every kind?
The “waterboys” of the DC Corporation are Lawyers and Paralegal staff.
Its the same for State Governments.
In 2023 there were 1,322,649 active lawyers.
In 2023 there were 355,00 paralegals.
How often do you contact your US Senator or US Congressman for advice?
How often do you contact your State Senator or State Representative
for advice?
If you do what kind of results do you receive?
Maybe a preprinted letter thanking you for contacting them and
some information related or not related to what you had requested?
Your actual “representative” in the Corporation is not in Congress or
your State.
Its one of the 1,322,649 Lawyers or 355,000 paralegals.
Laws are written by K street lawyers and lawyer lobbyists.
If you take the time to read most laws you will find it can be
very confusing to someone who has not gone to law school!
So what do you do if you need to go to court etc?
You contact one of your local “representatives”, a lawyer or
paralegal to do the heavy lifting of representing you in the
court system.
The maze of laws are so complicated and convoluted-twisted,
unless your a lawyer you can’t understand the law meaning.
The judicial system often allows a backdoor pay to play scheme
for lawyers and those in “authority” to RULE OVER YOU!!!!
You pay a lawyer or paralegal to unlock the judicial system like
you punch a number into an amazon locker to get what you want.
I am Convinced when I vote the best that I am doing is voting for
a potempkin village facade pre picked candidate.
DC and State.
Local candidates can be pre picked also.
Some are worthy of voting for.
Business deals involve COMPROMISE.
Passing laws involve COMPROMISE.
Business deals are handled by lawyers.
Passing laws are handled by lawyers.
LAWYERS have infested Congress like fleas.
Lawyers have infested State governments like fleas.
Lawyers have also infested local governments like fleas.
Lawyers manipulate laws to control you and me.
The “deepstate” controls the lawyers who write the laws.
You got to pay to play.
Makes you feel like a slave doesn’t it.
Do you understand?
