Welcome to the Quick Read Feed for the Hidden Dominion.

This section provides our readers access to our articles using a traditional blog layout.

This ‘old fashion style’ blog layout has its advantages, mostly in being able to quickly skim and catch up on a week’s worth of articles on one page. I’ve had a few requests for this more traditional layout, so here it is. The articles are the same as published traditionally on our homepage.

  • Trump’s First Weeks: Some Good, Much Bad

    Trump’s First Weeks In Office

    Let’s take a look at the highlights of Trump’s first weeks. It has not all been bad, but it’s also not looking great if we take everything into perspective.

    Starting with the good.


    The Good

    • Pardons and Legal Actions:
      • Pardoned approximately 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6 lie.
      • Granted a full pardon to Ross Ulbricht, founder of Silk Road.

    Getting our guys out of the DC Gulag is easily the best thing Trump has done.

    Granted, he is the fool who caused it in the first place. And he is the one who sat around for four years letting them rot. But I am OK keeping this one in the good category, nonetheless.

    Also, the pardon for the Silk Road founder was unexpected, but appreciated.

    • Foreign Relations:
      • Withdrew the U.S. from the World Health Organization.
      • Assisted in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas

    I am a little mixed about the withdrawal from the World Health Organization. The United States being the main funder, I think it would’ve been better to take the more hostile-takeover approach. But, it is simpler to just wash your hands of the entire ordeal. So not a bad move, especially after Covid.

    The ceasefire in the Middle East is also a welcome reprieve. I hope it will hold, but I am not holding my breath. However, if it does, then this is definitely one of the top goods that Trump has done.*(see note below)

    *EDIT: Hilariously, even by the time this article was going to post (two days delayed), the good from the Israel-Hamas ceasefire has completely flipped. Now, Trump is yapping on about how he wants to fully ethnically cleanse all Palestinians from Gaza and for the US or Israel to own that territory. So the cease-fire was just a sham to get the true motives out. This is now clearly a huge negative. This will most certainly lead to war in the Middle East when coupled with the new ‘max pressure on Iran’. Just like my worrisome prediction long before the election. One domino from “the good” of Trump’s first weeks has already fallen. We will see how the rest holds over time.

    • Social Policies:
      • Issued executive orders recognizing only two genders and revoking diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

    This is plainly a net positive. I do not think it is the most important topic of the day given our current struggles with demographics and all, but it doesn’t hurt either. This appeals to the base, and it doesn’t rock the boat of the people who actually hold power. Still, removing the DEI programs is a step in the right direction.

    • Trade Policy:
      • Imposed 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, aiming to reduce trade deficits and address issues like fentanyl production.
      • Implemented a 10% tariff on Chinese goods and energy imports from Canada.

    Trump‘s trade policy is one of my personal favorites of what he has done so far. I am strongly in favor of tariffs and a more nationalist approach to trade policy. So this is an ideal of mine.

    Frankly, however, I doubt he will hold up to it long-term. The most likely situation is that he uses them as a bargaining chip to make a deal and then removes them.

    Still, if that goal is to reduce our people dying of drugs, then it is a good deal. Even if that is not the true purpose, that will probably be one of the ramifications. Which is a solid good, nonetheless.

    So either way, it is either a good or a better.

    Plus, Libertarians hate it. So that makes it fun.


    The Bad

    Many of Trump’s executive orders have been targeted at the federal government. I strongly believe these will have disastrous consequences.

    I wrote about it more here: Government Employees Are Not The Enemy.

    Meanwhile, Elon Musk has been granted access to incredibly important datasets within the federal government with absolutely zero clearance parameters or accountability. I wonder what the rightwing would say if Soros and his ilk were granted such access—But funny how they don’t care when they think it is “their guy” (even though he isn’t). This is an immensely problematic situation and one that will certainly, at a minimum, enrich Musk while leaving the American people in a worse-off position. Likely, this will end up far worse. I do not think most people realize the depth of the data that Musk now has access to.

    Many conservatives seem to like these changes. But I think they are being naïve and shortsighted. The reality is that what Trump is doing to remove the deep state is solely to centralize it under him.

    However, this condition won’t hold forever. Look at how quickly everything fell as soon as he left office the first time. Except this time, now we will have a federal government fully centralized and primed under an executive. Trump is requiring loyalty from all the federal workers or they risk losing their job. He is also angering them all and harming them directly. Now take that condition and realize that in the future there will be another Obama/Biden-type administration or a war. How do you think that will work for us?

    This is the continual fools errand that conservatives run into. They centralize things in the process of trying to reform a system that is broken and can’t be fixed. But then their enemies use these centralized tools against them far harsher than they ever wielded them when they have power.

    The only time this form of centralization could ever truly work is with a strong man that would wield it and not let go. That is not Trump. He will let go, and a leftist will be more than happy to pick it up and use it to destroy us.

    In fact, I think Trump is doing this on purpose. Whatever plans the deep state has, he is coordinating and centralizing them. All with the support of the conservative suckers thinking it’s fixing something.

    Harming federal workers, centralizing the deep state, and these similar acts may look “cool” now, but mark my words, they will hurt us in the [near] future.

    • Israeli Idolatry:
      • “Anti-Semitism” Executive Order.
      • Worshipping Netanyahu at the White House.

    Self-explanatory.

    • National Security:
      • Ordered airstrikes targeting senior ISIS planners in Somalia.
      • Redesignated the Houthis as a terrorist organization, aiming to disrupt their operations.

    These actions are priming us for further conflict and war. They do not have the backing of the citizens or Congress. these are obviously a net negative.

    • Russian-Ukraine War
      • No progress has been made. The initial ideas developed by Team Trump have been rejected.

    So much for solving the war in the first week. 


    The Unsure

    • Energy:
      • Declared a national energy emergency, suspending certain environmental regulations to expedite energy projects.

    These kind of things can go both ways. Yes, we should be utilizing the natural energy resources of the United States. But no, we should not be doing it at the expense of our environment or our people’s access to land.

    Very often, a reduction of regulations does not actually help the average person. It helps millionaires and billionaires make more money, and centralizes more of the market. It also often takes away the beauty of our land and exploits our communities.

    Still, it could be done in a good way. I doubt it will in this case, but I can’t put this inside of the good or bad right at the onset.

    • Immigration and Border Security:
      • Declared a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border to enhance security measures.

    Yeah, yeah. I know. There are fewer illegals and ICE is (slowly) departing a few of them. That is great.

    But what I care about is the overall demographic situation. If you look at the total numbers, nothing has changed. Nothing likely will change, either.

    The ICE deportations are too slow. Additionally, the Trump administration has explicitly endorsed increasing legal immigration. Even if they reduce illegal immigration and deport many of them, the net effect on our demographic situation will be unchanged due to the increase in legal immigration.

    None of you would like to hear it, but illegal immigration is better than legal immigration in the long term for us. Legal implies a pathway for citizenship and continued residency. Most illegals are just parasites here for a short while. The illegals take unimportant jobs, where the legal immigrant, like H1-B types, take high-paying jobs from our own people. Both increase costs, but legal immigrants increase things like housing costs more because they can legally buy a house themselves and don’t have 30-people living in one basement rental like the illegals.

    Ideally, we have no immigration, and we stabilize our demographics. But that is simply not our reality right now.

    If I had to choose, I would rather have the illegal Mexican selling tacos on the corner versus the Indian CEO not hiring any white men at a Fortune 500 tech company. Sorry, but it is the pragmatic position to take.

    Trump is encouraging the latter while deporting the former. This is not a benefit to us. This will actually hurt us even more in the long run. Illegals are easier to get rid of at any point in time compared to legal or naturalized citizens. Legals are not.

    At the end of the day, what difference does it make if demographic replacement occurs through high-skilled legal immigrants versus occurring through low-skilled illegal immigrants? Both options suck.

    Still, I put this in the unsure. Maybe God will have mercy on us and the actions against the illegals will encourage less legal immigration as well. Hopefully, the end result is less demographic change than what otherwise would have occurred. But there is no guarantee about that.


    Trump’s First Weeks: A Conclusion

    I am not wallowing in blackpills over here. There definitely have been a few wins. But I do believe the majority are negatives.

    I know everybody wants to “take the wins”, but if they are not actually wins, you aren’t being an optimist—You are just being willfully blind. Some of these are clearly not long-term wins. They are setups for future checkmates. You knocked out their pawn, but they now have your king in an untenable position. Your victory lap will be short-lived once you realize this.

    Overall, I think there are clear warning signs and problem indicators so far. Especially with Trump‘s aggressive foreign policy, with him wanting to take over areas around the globe, his desire to fight in the Middle East, and his centralizing of the federal government.

    At the same time as he is making this somewhat obscure moves, Trump is also making appeals to the conservative base on things that don’t really matter (DEI, Musk’s DOGE, etc.), to inspire patriotism in the base. But for us, we must see that at the same time he is also centralizing power and provoking conflict. This is never a good recipe for the white Christians.

    Frankly, it seems very clear to me that he is gearing up for a major confrontation somewhere. I don’t know if he has Napoleon syndrome or if his handlers do, but most of these actions sure seem like he’s working in the direction of leading us into a conflict. Every single one of these things is gearing us for a wartime economy: from a centralized government, to the rally around Israel situation, to a resurgence of “patriotic America exposing and removing the corruption”…even down to the removal of DEI to give a token victory to whites to encourage more military signups. It all seems geared toward creating a wartime America.

    I may be wrong, and as God as my witness, I hope I am. But I see what I see. I discern what I discern.

    Times have changed, and it seems like Trump may have changed as well.

    Keep your eyes open. When in a life or death struggle for the survival of your civilization, always view things in the context of the long-term. Do not be so quick to claim victory, but at the same time do not always wallow in expected defeat. Stay in reality, watch the signs of the times, and always be looking for true motives behind what is occurring. There is always more than meets the eye.


  • Testosterone Versus Intelligence (IQ)

    Where Do You Want To Fall On The Testosterone & Intelligence Trendline?

    Most studies indicate that as testosterone increases, intelligence (IQ) decreases.

    There is generally a happy medium between the extremes of both IQ and testosterone where a normal male would sit.

    Most men with higher testosterone are notoriously impulsive and lack long-term strategic planning. However, low testosterone males are notoriously weak and unable to perform their duties of being a man.

    A balance is generally considered ‘good’.

    Or is it?

    Review the study results:

    Testosterone Versus Intelligence (IQ) graph - study results - Testosterone vs IQ sample for 15,439 lifetime natural men from the Nat. Long. Study of Adolescent to Adult health research.
    Testosterone vs IQ sample for 15,439 lifetime natural men from the Nat. Long. Study of Adolescent to Adult health research.

    In case you missed it, there is a giant red circle around one of the study participants.

    That guy. That’s who you want to be.

    Don’t follow the trendline. Get 1600 ng/dl total test and nearly 160 IQ.

    Be the anomaly.

    Or at least, that’s my take. No reason to settle.


  • The Same Song And Dance Every Time: Gabbard Falls

    Gabbard Shows Her True Hand

    When will the average conservative learn?

    A summary from Unz (emphasis my own):

    The Predictable Capitulation of Tulsi Gabbard

    Well, Tulsi Gabbard now says she is all for the unconstitutional law that permits the national security state to surveil Americans without obtaining legal warrants beforehand — a law Donald Trump’s nominee for director of national intelligence has previously and vigorously pledged to repeal.

    As President-elect Trump’s inauguration approaches and his cabinet appointments will be confirmed or rejected in Senate hearings, Gabbard’s in-your-face betrayal of public trust ought to focus our minds very sharply and very fast. Some of these minds, I will say straightaway, have drifted far from reality since Trump began announcing his nominees. This was especially so in the case of Gabbard.

    As soon as Trump proposed Gabbard as his DNI, the shared expectation in some quarters, most of whose inhabitants I respect, was that she would — singlehandedly, I gathered from the commentaries — bring the hydra-headed monster euphemistically called “the intelligence community” under some semblance of political-civilian control.

    And now this: Professing support for Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act after opposing it for years, Gabbard seems to have shocked a lot of people. Reading this in the large, she has just told America it’s the same old imperium after all.

    Shall we join to sing “Up, Up, and Away” now that all the beautiful balloons have fallen to Earth and the world’s not a nicer place and doesn’t wear a nicer face?


    I’m Shocked. Who Could Have Ever Saw This Coming?

    I expected—and predicted—this exact situation when Gabbard first “left the Democratic party”:

    Conservatives just love to get swept up by supposed new converts. This joy seems even more so when they are popular, non-white, pretty women converts.

    There is a type of mental justification that occurs with each conversion, that makes the average conservative immediately jump in excitement that they are truly the non-racist, correct ones.

    But it doesn’t change the fact that converts are initially dangerous until proven trustworthy. Some more than others.

    In the case of Tulsi Gabbard, there is much risk. But she checks a lot of boxes for the right-wingers that desire to remain within the moral framework of leftism. She is a woman, Hindu, and an Islander. That’s a lot of minority checkboxes. And she just left the Democratic Party:

    […]

    My assumption is that the WEF and other international centralizers are trying to get a better handle on this new “America First” and dissident thing that is growing in popularity, so they need to move their assets into more conservative/dissident spheres. Obviously, they start with their more moderate variants to position themselves to do so. Tulsi Gabbard falls exactly in that bucket.

    […]

    Additionally, I’ve said this before, but always look in the eyes. She doesn’t look normal. She looks like one of them. It happens even in the voice—She sounds like a robot that is programmed to speak what her masters say. God warned us about this. The eyes are the light of the soul; don’t negate their telling power.

    These soft marshmallow, brand new converts, with such a shady history should not be trusted. Not until they prove their worth. And Gabbard, in particular, has about a decade’s worth of proving to do to make up for the harm she has caused.

    But I’m sure the average out of the grey masses with lap this up with joy: they’ve got both a woman and a minority convert. What a treat.

    Read the rest in my article here: Tulsi Gabbard Leaves The Democratic Party


    The Same Cycle, Ever Single Time

    The way it always goes:

    • Sells soul -> Gets power -> “I’m a uniparty deep state stooge” -> Power is shifting in a different political direction to grant the illusion of choice -> “I’ve reformed and am now a darn tough other-side fighter!” -> Gets power -> “I’m a uniparty deep state stooge.”

    Musk, Trump…Gabbard. The examples never end.

    When, oh when, will our people learn that the system cannot be reformed?


  • Inauguration Day: Unexpected Deep State Guests

    Attendance At Trump’s Inauguration Day

    You know, everybody sure seems to think that Trump is going to be out there “fighting the deep state”.

    But then when you look at what he is doing, who he is picking for his cabinet, and now who is showing up for his inauguration—I am having some further doubts about that.

    Let’s check in on who was happily invited and is attending his inauguration. Including some with front row seats, which we will see later visually.

    Here is a shortlist of the interesting-choice guests (in no particular order):

    • Kevin McCarthy
    • Newt Gingrich
    • John Boehner
    • Mike Pence
    • Mitch McConnell, Former Senate Minority Leader
    • Elaine Chao, Former U.S. Secretary of Transportation
    • Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, owner of X
    • Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI
    • Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta
    • Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon, owner of the Washington Post
    • Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google
    • Rupert Murdoch, former executive chairman of Fox Corp., joined inauguration church services
    • Dana White
    • Shou Zi Chew, CEO of TikTok
    • Joe Rogan
    • Tim Cook
    • Han Zheng, Chinese Vice President
    • Bill Clinton
    • George W. Bush
    • Barack Obama
    • Hillary Clinton
    • Biden / Kamala

    With some visuals, for effect (notice who gets to be in the front rows, for the inauguration of the “anti-deep state” candidate):

    Fight The Deep State—Or Invite The Deep State?

    You know, for a guy that many claim will fight the deep state, he sure does surround himself with all of them constantly.

    We have the worst of the worst here in attendance (and in his cabinet). When does the “fight” part start?

    I’m just saying, if I was elected president, I sure would not be allowing these people anywhere near me. Additionally, I would definitely not be appointing all of their spawns to my cabinet positions.

    It seems that instead of cleaning out the swamp, Trump is willingly and happily being drowned in it.

    But maybe I’m just not playing 160D chess, or whatever the QAnons are saying nowadays.

    Which brings me to a good question: When do we all think that Q will be back now that Trump has returned?


  • Inauguration Day: Exposing The “Trump Learned From His Mistakes” Narrative

    Happy Inauguration Day… Maybe

    Without fail, every normiecon says that “Trump learned from 2016”. If you listen to or watch any mainstream conservative sources, then you’ve heard this current narrative.

    It usually is in reference to his dumpster-fire cabinet picks from 2016 or his inability to “drain the swamp”, as they put it. (Amazingly, “the swamp” immediately returned under Biden. So lasting change was apparently not on the menu for 2016 MAGA. But this time is different—Trust us!).

    These types won’t stop jabbering on about how “Trump learned from his past mistakes”.

    Which would be great if it were true.

    But there is literally zero evidence of this.

    The entire narrative is blind optimism and hopeium.

    In fact, if we take a look at his cabinet pics, it is clearly the exact opposite:

    Read A Quick Summary Of My Thoughts On These Picks Here: Trump’s Cabinet Picks


    Trump Learned From His Mistakes? Or Does He Even Realize His Numerous Mistakes?

    2016 Trump resulted in the greatest peacetime policy disasters in our country’s history. That is no small feat.

    Now, given these cabinet picks and recent policy positions: Instead of learning from his mistakes, it appears like he is doubling down on them.

    I am happy that some (normiecons) are able to be optimistic about the upcoming four years, at least. Because I sure am not.

    [Also, on a technical side-note: The premise that ‘Trump learned from his mistakes’ implies that during Trump’s first term he truly wanted positive change but was thwarted by his lack of political knowledge. I am not sold on that theory, however. I think he did exactly what he wanted to do or was told to do. Likewise, I think he will again.]

    It is my belief that we’re gonna see that exact same thing play out again over these next four years. But possibly even worse, if my worst-case scenario comes to fruition.

    Either way, he won’t fix anything. The only way we truly Make America Great Again is by Filing America With Americans Again. He’s already made moves against that. So we’re screwed on that front.

    This Inauguration Day, I ask my readers to pray for us all. I think we will need it.


  • What Is A Dissident?

    Dissident: Dissent Against What, Exactly?

    We throw around the term ‘dissident’ a lot. But what do we mean when we say it?

    There are a lot of self-titled dissidents out there. Which means there are a lot of definitions, too. I cannot speak for everyone when I answer this question. I can only speak for what I mean when I say it.

    The dictionary would define dissident as ‘someone who disagrees with or challenges their government‘. In a way, this is correct for our purposes. But it is too limited for the sense that I use it. When I use the term dissident, I think in a broader sense.

    A dissident, in our sense, is someone who challenges the very premise which modern Western Civilization is now based upon. It goes much deeper than just one government.

    It inevitably does include a challenge to the failed modern systems of governance, but that is only one piece of it. A true dissident of which I speak challenges far more than just that.

    It is not just a resistance to the state or to the current working order. Instead, it is a resistance to the entirety of the corruption of the modern world.

    A dissident does not just want the government to be overthrown. He or she wants the world system to change to a better one.

    Our current world system is based on the lies of the Enlightenment. Errors that include things like the blank slate belief, egalitarianism, a rejection of Christianity, subjectivism, materialism, and so on. These foundational pieces (errors) of the modern world are what have shaped it to become what it is. A curse, as Rene Guenon calls it.

    If we truly want to fix the issues of the modern day, we have to fix this underlying failed logic of our civilization.

    To be a dissident is to recognize and accept that. It is much more than just wanting a change of government system, or to have a demographic majority in your country. Because even if we acquire those things, the underlying issues will not be fixed, and the same problems will inevitably return.

    It is analogous to having an overflowing sink, and instead of fixing the reason for the backup, you just continue to empty the excess water. Over time, the true issue will only grow worse and your underlying system will degenerate further. Even if you manage the symptoms, for a time.

    A helpful article to delve into this topic deeper is here: “Right-Wing” And “Left-Wing” Defined.


    The Reality Of Our Condition

    Only by rejecting the lies of our age will we truly fix anything. This requires challenging and fighting back against them.

    As Christians especially, we should be OK having that fight. Satan runs our world, and we reject his system. Christ himself commands us to not join with the world. We must separate from the wickedness of our age and seek a return to our roots with Christ. Christendom gives us a template to return to.

    In many ways, a Christian by default is a spiritual dissident. A person who is separated from this world and does not find their home here. One of our tasks is to help Christians realize their need to also become practical dissidents of this wicked age—Working for our people here while we can.

    A true dissident loves his people and his God. But he hates the lies from the ruler of this world. So they proudly fight for the former, and challenge the latter.


  • Government Employees Are Not The Enemy

    On Government Employees: Government And Nuance

    I am ready to catch some flake for this one, but bring it on. It is good to rattle the cage a bit occasionally.

    I have been a ‘dissident but also against the anti-gov crowd’ (ironic, and possibly absolutely absurd/contradictory) for years now. But let me first explain.

    For instance, in “The Blind Fear Of Government Misses The Mark”, I wrote:

    Older generations have this innate fear of government which blindsides them to the fear they should have: of all centralizers. The government is certainly one piece to the puzzle of tyranny, but it’s not the only one, nor the only path to it. Ironically, the government is the only piece that is actually at least somewhat accountable to the populace. International corporations, cultural markers, and the intelligentsia certainly aren’t in any respect.

    […]

    The older generations have kept a watchful eye to make sure government doesn’t overstep its bounds. Even if that means letting corporations, cultural institutions, and the intelligentsia trample over them with absolutely no restrictions. “That’s fine, so long as the government isn’t the one doing it”, they said. But the end result is the same: authoritarianism. Just procured through different initial means.

    They missed the mark, because eventually these centralizers will get powerful enough that they can indirectly control that government through various means within their own arena. And once they have every single power institution in the nation, it doesn’t matter what the people think or do anymore. It’s irrelevant.

    It’s the slogan: “Don’t tread on me”, solely directed at the government. But apparently when every cultural institution, institutional authority, and corporation treads on them, then it’s fine. We don’t want the government lining us up against the wall, but if corporations starve us to death and cultural institutions enact a vigilant-witchhunt against us, that’s just “freedom”.

    […]

    The problem, as always, is the centralizers. All of them, not [just the government].

    Not only do I still agree with this, but I feel even more strongly about it now. The state is just one piece of a much larger puzzle. If you only focus on that piece, you’ll miss the greater picture.

    The imaginary older generation boogeyman of the “government” is not our only enemy, or even our primary one. The worst elites are embedded outside of the state; hiding in financial, geopolitical, and cultural positions.

    Because of this, I am a contrarian on the widespread ‘anti-government employees’ narrative found on the Right (in both mainstream and dissident circles).

    I do not hate government employees. In fact, I do not really think they are much of a problem at all.

    Even further, I like a lot of them. And I encourage our guys to join their ranks where possible. We should be taking over the institutions, not abandoning them.

    Of course, the state is no friend to us. We have plenty that are bad. Federal agents in the DHS/FBI or CIA operatives are probably not somebody I would become best friends with. Or even want to know in my personal life.

    But they are the exception when you speak about government employees. The average Fed is somebody maybe making the median income while working some desk job somewhere. They manage BLM land or do some data stuff with social security.

    The average Fed is not some special agent hunting you down for not paying your taxes. That is less than 1% of all Feds.

    The average Fed is not exactly a nefarious enemy of the people.

    But if you listen to demons like Elon Musk, you would think government employees are simultaneously maliciously targeting all of us Americans with all of their might—and never actually doing any real work at all—both at the same time. Somehow. Magically.

    Just read ridiculous pieces like this one (People genuinely think like this):

    “The Manhattan Project” Of Our Time: Musk And Vivek Ramaswamy To Head Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE)

    Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have been selected by President-elect Donald Trump to head the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), where they will “slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies,” according to an official release from the Trump-Vance transition team, which called this “potentially, the “Manhattan Project” of our time.”

    According to the statement, “Their work will conclude no later than July 4, 2026” – the nation’s 250th anniversary.

    Musk previously predicted he could cut at least $2 trillion from the US federal budget, while Ramaswamy suggested firing federal workers based on their social security numbers.

    “Here’s how: if your [Social Security number] ends in an odd number, you’re fired,” he wrote on X.

    In September, Ramaswamy told podcaster Lex Fridman: “Get in there on day one, say that anybody in the federal bureaucracy who is not elected, elected representatives obviously were elected by the people, but the people who are not elected, if your social security number ends in an odd number, you’re out, if it ends in an even number, you’re in. There’s a 50% cut right there. Of those who remain, if your social security number starts in an even number, you’re in and if it starts with an odd number, you’re out. Boom. That’s a 75% reduction done. Literally, stochastically, okay, one of the virtues of that, it’s a thought experiment, not a policy prescription, but one of the virtues of that thought experiment is that you don’t have a bunch of lawsuits you’re dealing with about gender discrimination or racial discrimination or political viewpoint discrimination.”

    Personally, I would prefer to fire foreigners like Ramaswamy rather than our own people. But apparently I am just out here in the [right] field, all alone, even among many other dissidents.

    Below, I summarize my take on the DOGE/Anti-Government Employees lunacy for those who won’t take the time to read the full piece:

    • Having two literal (millionaire) foreigners fire or otherwise make miserable heritage White Americans working a government job is not a victory. If you think it is, I would encourage you to re-analyze your priorities.
    • Libertarians are the ones that care about money, not people. Those of us truly on the Right should not think like that. People matter more. “What is in the best interest of our people?” Should always be the question we ask. Not “how do we make xyz more efficient for corporate executives?”
    • I would rather have a Big Gov full of our people working for the betterment of our land and people than a small Gov run by foreigners and focused on money.
    • With all the issues we have right now (demographic replacement, possibility of world wars, a major apostasy away from Christianity), screwing over the average working joe in some government job should not be a priority or a cause for celebration.

    The True Government Numbers

    Nearly everything these guys are saying is false, by the way. It is just an outright lie. They use the stereotypical narrative of ‘lazy government employees just soaking up all the private sector wealth’ that the boomers invented in the 1970s.

    But time has passed. It is no longer the age of hippies, a majority white California, and disco. Things have changed.

    Also, whether or not anyone likes it, the actual data does not support their theories.

    A long time ago, I did a thorough analysis into the subject because I was curious. As it turns out, government employees actually do not even take that much of the overall budget.

    Even if you fired half of government employees, it really wouldn’t do anything to our overall debt problem. Our money problem goes a lot deeper than paying for Sally at the post office to sort mail for $15 an hour. We simply aren’t spending that much on the Feds.

    Face the facts, even if you aren’t happy about it:

    FRED All Federal Government Employees since the 1940s chart
    The Lie: The Amount Of Gov Jobs Are Increasing With No End | The Reality: The Amount Of Gov Jobs Have Been Relatively Consistent Since The 1940s.

    Out of the $6 trillion in annual spending, ~$305 billion (debatable) comprises federal employees’ payroll (excluding military personnel). That amounts to just 4% of the budget.

    Why is the new focus on the 4% and not the other 96% of expenditure?

    Chart: Federal Budget vs Federal Salaries and Benefits for reviewing government employees.
    The Lie: Gov Jobs Are A Major Cost Center | The Reality: Gov Jobs Are Practically Irrelevant Compared To Total Federal Spending (4% Fed Gov Costs vs 96% Other Costs)

    Why is everyone so focused on harming our own people, making the 4% and not focused on the corrupt system that allows an outside 96%?

    Government jobs are not increasing in amount or cost compared to the past. They track consistently with inflation. Why the sudden concern now?

    What this is, is clear (to me): it is a libertarian-type virtue signaling about a nonproblem. Which also serves to distract us from the real problems impacting us that I listed above.

    Additionally, it goes even deeper than that.

    The True Reason The Elites Don’t Like The Feds

    Does no one see the connection that the wealthy elite want to fire a bunch of government employees, but then increase the amount of H-1Bs? Am I the only one not blind here?

    These guys want to fire federal employee Sheniqua so that they can replace her with a federal contractor on an H-1B just off the plane from SomaliTurkHinduIstan.

    These elites also care more about reducing the amount of regulations targeting them, and reducing the amount of federal employees who would actually enforce regulations against them. Two things that are NOT major cost centers for the U.S. gov, but are suspiciously the Musk-types’ priority focus. This won’t reduce the debt by any meaningful sense, but it surely will make them wealthier and more powerful, with fewer people keeping them accountable.

    And this is good for us? How? How does randomly harming your fellow citizens help you out? Please tell me how does helping the isolated class run even more amok without regulations help us out?

    It is clear why the elites are targeting government employees and regulations. It is not because it will reduce government operating costs.

    Open your eyes. It is clearly for their own benefit at the cost of our own people working in those jobs.

    Also, does anyone seriously think the government would just not spend that money? Do you really think they are going to put that money in the savings bank or use it to pay off the debt? If so, call me, ’cause I have an ocean to sell you on Mars.

    Public Versus Private

    I know we have a trend in the dissident sphere to think “private sector = production” and “public sector = leeches”, but this is the mindset of someone from the 60s or 70s. Stop holding on to that ancient mindset. The world has changed.

    Guess what? Private is just as bad. The reality is that there are incredibly few “producers” at all (in the strict legalistic sense) since the U.S. transitioned into a knowledge economy. I don’t know what to say besides get over it; stop living in the past. It is what it is.

    Before anyone gets all huffy, this is coming from someone that would be considered a “producer” based on my career in the medical field. Which I will use as an example.

    Working in healthcare, we have over 70% of employees that are “admin”. They do nothing. They sit around all day playing on their computers. Most work in HR, legalism, or contracts. I know it is hard to accept, but they aren’t public employees. Yet they are just as “worthless” and “unnecessary” in the production sense.

    I have a couple extended family that work state and fed. They are exceptional employees and work harder than any admin people I see on the medical side.

    These medical admin positions did not exist fifty years ago (admin positions have exploded compared to every other job field). They do not differ from the public sector, except your money gets siphoned there through increased healthcare expenses rather than taxes. But the result is the same.

    The Lie: Gov Jobs Are The Source Of Laziness And Bureaucracy Harming The United States | The Reality: Gov Jobs Are No Different From The Private Sector In Today’s United States, Most From BOTH Are Admin And Nonproducers.

    To think that all laziness and welfare jobs are only in the public sector is to still be living in the past. It’s the new Boomer-Gen X mindset.

    As a dissident especially, this should be obvious. The majority of our most active opponents against us are not even public. They are in private. The NGOs importing migrants here, groups like the ADL and SPLC, and evil billionaires are doing far more harm than the Department of Mining or whatever. They control far more and are a far higher threat.

    Definitely far more than some low-level government employee working in the behemoth system. It’s not even comparable.

    The AFGE Myth Debunkings

    I am no fan of unions, but the AFGE has a solid writeup on the actual facts regarding common misconceptions of feds. Here is a snapshot from it:

    Myth: 

    The federal government is too centralized in the Washington area, and relocating agencies around the country will make it more effective. 

    Fact: 

    Just 15% of our nation’s 2 million federal workers live in the Washington, D.C. metro area. The remaining 85% already live across the country, in all 50 states, in big cities and rural areas, on military installations and in our communities, and everywhere in-between. 


    Myth: 

    The bloated federal workforce is at an all-time high. 

    Fact: 

    Over the past 50 years, the number of federal workers has grown by roughly 6%. At the same time, the U.S. population has increased by 57%. The ratio of federal workers to national population has steadily decreased for the more than a half-century at this point. In 2024, the total federal workforce compensation of $293 billion amounted to just 4.3% of the federal budget. Meanwhile, federal contractors accounted for $759.2 billion, or 11.4%. If federal workers were paid equally to private sector workers, their pay would make up a 10% share of the budget.


    Myth: 

    Federal workers are overpaid. 

    Fact: 

    Federal workers earn nearly 25% less than private sector and state and local workers who perform similar jobs.


    Myth: 

    Federal workers don’t seem to understand or care who they work for. 

    Fact: 

    About 642,000 federal workers are veterans of the U.S. military. More than half (58%) of all federal workers hold jobs that directly support our troops (Army, Navy, Air Force, DoD), our veterans (VA), or our seniors (SSA, CMS). Federal workers know better than anyone who they work for – the American people – because they devote every single day to delivering vital public services that hundreds of millions of American rely on. They do not cater to any corporate contractor’s bottom line; they serve only their fellow American citizens. 


    Myth: 

    Federal workers have “fake jobs.” 

    Fact: 

    Federal workers perform essential work on behalf of everyone who calls this nation home. They’re the doctors and nurses who care for our veterans, the people who get Social Security benefits out on time, the corrections officers in federal prisons who protect us from dangerous criminals, the USDA inspectors who make sure our food supply is safe, the FEMA specialists who assist disaster survivors, the TSA screeners who protect the flying public, the border patrol agents who stop drug smugglers and human traffickers, and so much more. 


    Myth: 

    We only have 6% of our federal workforce actually going into work every single day. 

    Fact:  

    54% of federal workers hold jobs that require them to report in-person to their duty station every day… Among those whose jobs permit telework, 61.2% of working hours are spent in-person. 


    Myth: 

    Americans are being put on hold by bureaucrats who are phoning it in. 

    Fact:  

    Mischaracterizing telework as failing to show up for work is a deliberate attempt to demean and disparage federal workers and ultimately eliminate and/or outsource their jobs. Both private and public sector employers have found that hybrid telework arrangements improves employee engagement, recruitment and retention. Hybrid work arrangements actually reduce wait times and allow better service for citizens.


    Myth: 

    Federal workers are low-skill workers who would be unqualified for private sector employment. 

    Fact:  

    Federal workers are both highly skilled and highly qualified. 66% of the federal workforce has a bachelor’s degree, compared to 43% of private sector workers, while 33% of federal workers have an advanced degree, compared to just 15% of private sector workers. 


    Myth: 

    98% federal bureaucrats are enrolled in a taxpayer-funded pension (compared to just 15% of private sector employees with access to a defined benefit pension plan). That locks federal employees into government employment & comes with a massive cost: nearly $1.2 trillion in unfunded liabilities for the main federal pension system. The cost of pensions is a key reason why most employers have moved away from them. 

    Fact:  

    While federal pay continues to lag far behind private sector pay, the average yearly pension for Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) retirees is just $25,000. As it stands, those benefits are no match for rising costs and exorbitant health care expenses that many seniors face. Yet, even as President-elect Trump, Elon Musk, and Ramaswamy plan to extend tax cuts and handouts to the wealthy, they are plotting to cut the key retirement benefits that federal workers have earned. 

    Like it or not, these are the facts on the ground. Most of the anti-gov positions are entirely fake narratives created to make you hate your fellow American unjustifiably. Deal with that as you will.

    Anti-Work From Home; Telework; Remote Jobs; “Return To Office” Save-CRE Scam

    Then this entire debacle just gets worse with the anti-work from home positions.

    Supposedly, part of the “solution” to our problems is to cut off remote and telework opportunities. That is likely what Trump is going to do Day 1.

    But this will only cause those that have options to leave (i.e., the good ones) to leave, leaving the worst government employees left behind. You know Jamal won’t care about going in and playing on his phone at the office, but Fred the expert data analyst will probably find another option.

    Not only will this not help crash the government because the system knows how to chug along regardless of the pawns, but it will make our nonfederal lives more miserable too. The worst of the worst will control all government institutions.

    How can anybody look at this and think this is a good idea?

    I simply don’t understand how conservatives can encourage everyone to flee every single institution that matters all the time and then expect us to win. I’ve always encouraged the opposite: Get into the gov or corrupt institutions if you can and find out what is going on in there! Fight the good fight from the inside. Don’t run and then complain when they are dominated by non-whites and people that hate us.

    That’s how we lost the institutions in the first place, geniuses. What an absolutely insane position to take.

    I’ve spoken on this plenty previously:

    The Conclusion: Government Employees Are Alright

    The government (system) is certainly not our friend, but willingly making it worse and handing it over even more to the enemy does no one any favors. All of these proposals (terminate employees, mandate return to office, etc.) are simply more ways for the elites to whip their slaves (our people!).

    Yet, we have people on our own side cheering it on. Fools!

    Screwing over government employees (or any true American just trying to get by) does not help any of our people. It will not reduce taxes or make our lives any easier when they have to interact with government agencies. You’re just harming your fellow citizens for no reason at the benefit of the elites.

    These approaches don’t fix any root issues. The system itself is the problem. Only by fixing the system can we truly fix anything.

    Targeting government employees is only going to benefit the elite. The same elite who will force more of their serfs back into the office or on welfare. Then those elites will laugh as old Joe gets laid off who is just trying to help his state preserve its beauty at the Forest Service and struggles to pay his mortgage. Meanwhile, the elite will receive even greater tax cuts and less investigation by state agencies.

    The fact that people can be tricked into thinking this is a good idea shows how fragile people’s genuine convictions are. And how weak our love for our people is.

    At the end of it all, government employees are not our enemy. They are the very same grey masses that we find in the private sector. Our people in both sectors just need a better shepherd and system. If they had that, they would work for the excellent system, instead of the bad.

    Think of them as an opportunity, not an enemy. Stop attacking your own people, stay focused on the enemy.

    These are just my opinions on this subject. I know many of you will disagree, and that is fine. But I stand where I stand.

    As for the government employees: I love my people, no matter where you work. Do good work. Honor the Lord. Take over the institutions. Don’t lose heart with these attacks; some of us stand behind you wherever you are.

    As for the “conservative” and “dissident” groups in favor of these things: How about we take the side of our people, and not the corporate elite billionaires, just one damn time? Is that too much to ask?
