There is no United States federal government.
It has been hollowed out and worn as a skinsuit by a criminal enterprise since before you were born.
This criminal enterprise has no name. It has no leader. It has no long-term agenda. It is simply an ad-hoc collaboration between manipulative sociopaths, cooperating to steal as much as they can from you.
This is why America is working as hard as it ever was, and far more technologically advanced than it ever was, and yet, for generation after generation, real wages, and the standard of living, have remained stagnant.
Because every increase in American wealth production is being siphoned up by The Machine.
And all this time, the magnitude of their crimes has been covered up... by the magnitude of their crimes.
The evidence, not necessarily the proof, but the evidence, has always been there. You simply refused to believe it because of the sheer magnitude of evil that the "conspiracy theorists" were telling you about.
Sure, you believed there was fraud and waste, because that was a moderate belief. It fit without requiring any modifications of your worldview.
But you refused to believe that the Clintons were a crime family of serial murderers leaving a trail of bodies behind them. You refused to believe that SARS-Covid-19 was developed on purpose in a lab. You refused to believe that there was a deliberate effort to demographically replace the population of America.
And you refused to believe that the federal government was sponsoring anti-American groups precisely so it would have another profitable war to fight.
But now members of congress are admitting it, so you don't have any excuses anymore.
That's right, we are at the point where you must admit that the federal government is nothing but a giant game of Pokemon.
"Saddam Hussein, I choose you!"
"Taliban, I choose you!"
"Covid-19, I choose you!"
Every response to these so-called threats has been immensely profitable for The Machine and its allies.
Now you have to confront the obvious fact that The Machine hasn't left the creation of these threats to chance. It has nurtured them carefully with infusions of cash, and weapons, and whatever else they needed.
What, you think that whoever was actually running the Biden administration left all that gear in Afghanistan by accident?
The founders of our nation didn't warn us against standing armies because they could be used against the people. They warned us against standing armies because military budgets are fiscal black holes that suck in political influence and radiate corruption.
The system is not incompetent. It is inefficient, but not incompetent. It is functioning as designed. And its purpose is to make you into a slave.
You may be wondering, if all this is true, why aren't you already a slave? Why do you still have an amount of personal and ideological freedom that is unique throughout the world?
Because the power of The Machine relies upon deception.
It can send agents to arrest troublesome individuals. Or shoot them through the head while they are holding their infant children. Or trap them in a church with their kids and burn them alive.
But it cannot physically force an entire nation into compliance.
Washington DC is a swamp, you see. That's not a corruption metaphor. I mean it is literally a swamp that someone has paved over and built a city on. It has no real economic or strategic value.
Nothing is produced there except pieces of paper with instructions written on them.
If Americans, as a group, with one unified will, were to decide to ignore the instructions, there would be nothing The Machine could do.
That's why they are so upset about January 6, 2021.
Because a bunch of unarmed protestors barged into the capitol building. Yes, it was a setup, but it still made them afraid... because it revealed how personally vulnerable they all are.
When a whole bunch of Navy SEALS and whatnot follow orders (because it allows them to flatter themselves that they are heroes instead of suckers), then The Machine is powerful.
But without that compliance, they are just a bunch of geriatric perverts yelling at the internet.
Imagine if those protestors hadn't left their AR15s at home.
Or, better yet, imagine no one needing to storm the capitol at all, because the capitol, and the geriatric perverts, no longer matter.
The power of The Machine depends on the power to make you disbelieve in The Machine.
The Trump administration is an attempted countercoup against The Machine, by a real estate developer who was upset that it wouldn't leave America was a functioning economy to buy and sell real estate in.
Aided by a techbro who was upset that it wouldn't let him launch his rockets in peace.
The Machine is crying right now that the government has been hijacked by billionaires. But billionaires are more trustworthy than the government, because they need you alive, with disposable income in your pocket, so you can buy Starlink service and Teslas and expensive resort vacations.
The Machine just wants to rob and enslave you, and if you die, it will replace you with someone else to rob and enslave.
This choice isn't a head-scratcher.
Now go apologize to your crazy ancap friend who was trying to warn you about this shit for decades.
