President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is an intricate part of his commanding mandate. While not exactly a federal departmental agency per se, its function as a temporary advisory entity is ladened with lawful powers drawn from the executive branch. These structures have been commonplace in U.S. politics and are consistent with historical precedence. DOGE’s task has been labeled as that of a master auditor searching for waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal bureaucracy, which largely composes the administrative state, or Deep State, as some would prefer to call it considering the enduring static nature. Elon Musk, somewhat of a polymath, was chosen to lead this executive body.
Woodrow Wilson, in 1916, appears to be the first U.S. president to create a non-permanent advisory entity, which he called the Council of National Defense. Its purpose was coordinating resources as America prepared to enter World War I. Every single American president since Wilson, without exception, has made use of these temporary advisory boards or commissions in one manner or another. The rationale behind this remains to have external experts, typically serving the president and nation on an ad honorem basis, weigh in on the specific assignment at hand and render opinions and recommendations. The constitutional authority extended to the executive branch affords these temporary advisory agencies the power and legitimacy to have a high level of access to privileged and confidential information and data. This is the case directly or through permanent executive agencies that have security clearances.
DOGE, under the stewardship of Musk, and a small group of intellectually affluent young people are shedding grandiose results in their undertaking. The waste, fraud, and abuse that have been made public is scandalous. The outrageous findings speak not only in economic, dollar terms. Yes, the pillaging of the American public’s money is evident and irrefutable. This is inflationary, clientelist, deviates funds from the truly needy, and lowers the quality of life for all Americans. However, DOGE’s discoveries reveal a far greater betrayal to U.S. society.
The politicization of the administrative state’s powers and resources has reached epic levels. The worst aspect of this is the fact that numerous of these federal agencies, absolutely all acting inside the realm of the executive branch, have been promoting Neo-Marxist tenets such as Gender Ideology, Critical Queer Theory, Critical Race Theory, and Critical Post-Colonial Theory. USAID has spent millions of taxpayer funds to advance cultural socialism across the globe. Serbia, Peru, Colombia, South Africa, and Guatemala are but a handful of the places where American foreign aid dollars have been spent to advance postmodern Marxist ideology. This investment becomes subversive, as it undermines the stated U.S. principles of freedom and democracy. Additionally, in these respective countries, it plants the seeds of radical left-wing extremism that can potentially conspire to overthrow their governments.
Domestically, Deep State institutions such as FEMA, the national natural disaster relief agency, have privileged cultural socialist projects such as the open border access. The recently unearthed discovery of $59 million payments to New York City for expenses at the once opulent, five-star Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan to house, feed, and service illegal immigrants is just one example. FEMA prefers to see native-born and legal U.S. residents sleeping in tents in North Carolina than illegals. In Europe, as in the U.S., mass immigration tolerance is subservient to the global-socialist blueprint to the denationalization of the West. Examples of the prioritizing of Neo-Marxist dictums enforced through Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs throughout the federal workplace provide us with empirical evidence to see the deep-seated mechanization the Obamian leviathan has built.
The Trump administration committed itself to reversing the inroads made by cultural Marxism, unraveling the Deep State, safeguarding basic liberties, enforcing the rule of law, strengthening national security, and, in a nutshell, helping to rescue Western civilization. To achieve this, the administrative state that Barack Obama built, and Joe Biden (Obama’s third term) fortified, must be wholly deconstructed. DOGE is serving that very objective, in a discreet and indirect way. The waste, fraud, and abuse, measured in dollar terms, is stunningly disgraceful. This fact will catch most of the limelight. However, it is the seditious work of these Obamian institutions and their service to doctrines that bring about tyranny, which most damages the U.S. and freedom everywhere. The frenetic reaction to DOGE by globalist powers and the American Left is not about money or the loss of clientelist identity groups. It signifies, for them, the loss of one of their most potent weapons of war.
