The Invisible Power Controlling the US Government
How Trump's "Schedule F" could have drained the swamp.

I have written extensively on inverted totalitarianism, that being the once nascent, now entrenched form of government that truly controls the levers of federal power in the United States. This behemoth has turned the USA into a “managed democracy”; a bureaucracy which cannot be held accountable by the elected representatives of the people. Sometimes called the 4th estate, this monster is also referred to as the “deep state” the civil service, or the administrative state.

Inverted totalitarianism does not have an authoritarian leader, but instead is run by a non-transparent group of bureaucrats. This unelected, invisible ruling class runs the country from within. They are easily influenced by corporate interests due to both the lure of powerful jobs after federal employment and the capture of our legislative bodies by the lobbyists serving concealed corporate interests.

One element of inverted totalitarianism is that the administrative state typically inserts stricter and stricter rules and regulations to control the populace. Not at the behest of Congress or the President, but rather by and for the interests of the administrative state itself. Power begets power. We the people are forced into compliance by an unknown and unknowable invisible ruling class, with no way to even understand who, what, or how they are forcing this compliance upon us. As if that is not bad enough, in these modern times, the globalist corporations and financial groups have come to play a larger and larger role in controlling this administrative state.

The Brownstone Institute’s Jeffery Tucker recently wrote an article about an executive order passed by Trump shortly before his departure, which would have enabled huge progress towards reigning in the power of the administrative state. This executive order would have created a federal employee category referred to as “Schedule F”.

This new employee classification system would have included federal workers in "confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating character," which are "not normally subject to change as the result of a presidential transition."

The executive order would have allowed agencies to reclassify policy jobs under a new schedule, and had proposed to give senior managers greater flexibility in hiring candidates and firing employees.

Significantly, this new executive order was one of the first to go when President Biden began his presidency.

That's great stuff, big step in eliminating the revolving door.

I'm also thinking about NGOs and non-profits these days, and how to reduce their power and influence...

non-profits these days

Take out the non part. Many of the big ones are set up to launder money. They pay high fees for services rendered, many to big donors like attorneys, doctors, etc.

I've got some dirt on a big charity in my area. The woman running it just stepped down. It's a realm most people don't understand. Sure you see these big galas on TV and shit. It's not what you think it is. It's not for the kids. It's not for cancer. It's a way for rich people to launder ill gotten $$$. That's seriously what charities and churches are designed for.

Religion is the worst. Think about the Catholic church. They have one of the biggest if not largest real estate portfolios on the planet, pretty much all paid off. And then diddle kids. Wasn't just the priest doing it.... It was members of the church as well. Non-profits shouldn't exist. EVERYTHING is for a profit either financially or to get your fix for something.

Any salary at nonprofit should not exceed that of a us Prez

This is the best explanation of the Deep State that I've read and that does not sound like a conspiracy theory. This is how most people think that the MSM would be reporting "if the Deep State actually existed". But they still believe that the MSM reports reality.

America’s Founders knew our politicians wouldn’t be angels. That’s why they designed a system where the jackals prey on each other rather than on the rest of us. Those checks and balances worked pretty well, too, until a succession of weak sisters and nihilists in congressional leadership ceded the bulk of their authority to unelected federal bureaucrats.

The problem isn’t that D.C. is filled with bad people; it’s that the bad people we once could replace by electing other bad people have surrendered their authority to bad people whom we can’t throw out of office.

In other words, when Congress fails to do its job and create clear statutes, according to the Chevron Deference decision the administrative state has the authority to broadly interpret and exploit the ambiguities in Congressional authorization bills as it sees fit.

Consequent to this decision we have seen the explosive rise of power of a fourth, unelected branch of government- the permanent administrative state, its elite unaccountable and unelected administrators (the Senior Executive Service), and its permanent Praetorian Guard (the CIA) which enjoys the benefit of a large “dark” classified budget and its very own independent venture capital fund (In-Q-Tel) which makes it functionally autonomous from oversight by the Citizens of the United States and their elected representatives.

From this, I hope that you can appreciate my point above that the 1984 “Chevron Deference” SCOTUS opinion is the keystone in the arch of current administrative law. And like a keystone, if the “Chevron Deference” were to be successfully challenged and significantly revised by SCOTUS (functionally pulling the keystone out of the arch), the power and integrity of the entire administrative state structure would be compromised and the strength of the unelected fourth branch of government may fall, thereby restoring balance between the remaining three (Constitutional) branches of government.

The WEF-ers and the deep state

The reason the genociders are persisting with their plans for digital passports, CBDC, 15 minute cities, vaccine mandates, etc. — even though they’re losing elections because of this — is that these plans were never based on popular or legislative support in the first place.

All of the bad stuff that is being imposed on us is happening outside of the legislative system via unelected bureaucrats and quasi-governmental organizations with way too much power.

Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr and Eric Ciaramella are or were federal civil servants, hence they had civil service protections.
