Technapoleon
We are in the technapoleon era. We had the French Revolution. A radical left wing overthrow of the country. Now we are getting what came after: A Napoleon.
A technapoleon to be specific.
The democrats are simply not going to be able to resist the power of overwhelming agency and self reliance combined with technical and strategy skills plus access and leadership.
This is the end of the bureaucratic state. The democrats can complain all they want. All the slush funds and corruption and use of government funds on NGOs to hide the self licking ice cream cone that is the old system — that ended this weekend.
Without the ability to source tax payer funds to mobilize NGOs to launder taxpayer dollars into crony networks to control the public, the old government is going away.
History books will record the end of the last 100 years as ending last weekend when Elon got ahold of the USAID and Treasury Department payment systems.
The 400 make work agencies and all of the NGOs representing the collective power structure is all simply going to get unplugged. Congress and senate can yell and scream all they want.
They are free to vote if they feel like it but the congress and senate balance of power will ensure nothing comes of it.
The previous decades of ineffective congressional leadership which once played in the favor of the unlimited accumulation of deep state power will now do the reverse. Having gained control over the payment systems, Elon and his team will simply turn it all off and if Congress wants it otherwise they will have to muster sufficient votes to turn it back on again.
I don’t think that will happen.
With the jugular vein to the corrupt government world propaganda and domination systems shut off, the entire structure is going to wither and die. It required hundreds of million and billions of dollars to fund all the fake thought leaders and influencers and media to keep it alive.
I imagine Elon and lead advisors had years to think about the first move to make. The first move was shut off the treasury department spigots and the USAID. Once those are under control, the entire democratic power apparatus is dead.
So now we will most likely have at least 18 months of the Technapoleon followed probably by another 18 months.
I don’t Think Elon nor Silicon Valley are going anywhere. You are looking at the effective king of the solar system. And that’s a good thing. At least for now while it works.
Once all the DEI and fake work departments are purged and people are put back to work, it is hard to imagine what institutional America is going to look like. It will not be the same.
What we saw under Biden I think was the end of the old system. It’s not coming back.
