Republican National Convention (RNC) attendees in Milwaukee could feel an invigorating energy that transcended politics. I witnessed people with diverse characteristics, including thought, united for liberty.

The attendees were tolerant of differences. They understood that before we can engage in robust, healthy, American debate, we must first defeat the anti-American tyranny we face.

The tyranny manifests itself in a range of issues: cultural, spiritual, economic, and security. The tyrants who control our federal government and institutions are redefining man and woman. They want to eliminate parents from education, since they are an impediment to propagandization. The tyrants want to decide what we can say, see, and hear.

However, a growing resistance has formed to preserve liberty.

The tyrants’ underlying Alinskyite radical plan is to divide and conquer. Instead of succumbing, we are uniting under equality, individualism, and decentralization of power—including checks and balances, contained in our founding documents.

The tyrants promote un-American collectivism and centralization in which the state wields arbitrary power. This is most evident in the Joe Biden regime’s politicization and weaponization of justice, especially its coordinated abuse of the judicial system against Donald Trump and his supporters.

For decades, the differences between Republicans and Democrats were mostly superficial. On taxes, regulations, and international trade, there were few substantive differences. Trump changed this by removing burdensome regulations, lowering taxes, creating reciprocal trade deals that brought prosperity by creating investment, jobs, and energy independence.

Corporate elites, including the military-industrial complex President Eisenhower warned about, control us. They have joined with social-engineering elitists to get us into avoidable wars. Trump changed this by using economic leverage backed by a strong military to avoid war.

Trump’s policies let small businesses compete with big business, helping average Americans, as opposed to uniparty policies that favor elites and export jobs. This divided the Republican Party into Beltway and America First camps. Aware now of growing public support for resistance to the tyrants’ threats to liberty, establishment Republicans are increasingly accepting Trump and America-first policies.

Former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein (running again in the 2024 primaries) posted on X: “The same DNC elites that put [Joe Biden] in power will replace him with another tool for Wall Street and the war machine.” Stein and all who value liberty, peace, and American principles should pay attention to what is occurring in the Republican Party. Now might be the last opportunity to take back our country from the tyrants who are destroying it.

This machine, in Stein’s words, its Marxist partners who control the Democrat Party, and federal bureaucrats are desperate and will stop at nothing to keep Trump’s policies from returning in 2025. This cabal can only keep power through deception. It fears Trump, with his experience, will dismantle its hold on power and the ensuing peace and prosperity will prevent it from returning.

A way to help defeat the cabal is to expose its weakest point: the State Department (DOS), which the machine depends on to support its avoidable wars. If DOS were not servile to the machine, we would only go to war when it is unavoidable, in the national interest, and with public support.

The machine keeps Congress from examining DOS, giving it license to make its own policy. Permanent DOS bureaucrats are mostly Democrats. They export postmodernism (repackaged Marxism), undermine US allies, impose criminal socialists on them, and support totalitarian US adversaries.

Antony Blinken in a May 22 congressional hearing admitted US embassy officials had extorted Guatemalan congressmen to support the embassy agenda. He justified it with a false claim against Guatemala’s attorney general. She is investigating electoral fraud, which DOS directed to hide its crimes and assure the flow of illegal migrants and narcotics remains open.

House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) helped the DOS electoral fraud by issuing a July 14 press release echoing DOS lies. That is not surprising considering McCaul told the Wall Street Journal on February 20 that Trump needs “traditionalists” like him to keep Trump from going “off the reservation.”

Assistant Secretary for Western Hemisphere Brian Nichols echoed Blinken’s statements in a June 12 congressional hearing. Both officials could have easily sidestepped the question, but knowing McCaul would prevent any follow-up, they acted arrogantly.

These crimes are only the tip of the iceberg. DOS has been part of the Biden regime’s purposeful pulling and pushing of illegal migrants and narcotics to the United States. Exposing DOS criminality would remove it as a servant of the machine Stein identified and would help create support to reform the bureaucracy and make it conform to its constitutional role.

Contrary to Democrat claims that MAGA is a cult, Trump supporters view him as their representative to restore values, common sense, strength at home and abroad, and prosperity. The RNC attendees understand the 2024 election is a choice between rule by elites—tyranny—and rule by the people—America first—as conceived by our founders.
