ELECTION ANALYSIS: The names and faces may change, but the beast system remains in place

Is the sky falling after the bloodbath of Nov. 3? Or will it be business as usual with more deficit spending on needless foreign wars and investments in the machinery of the digital slave state?

I’m getting lots of hysterical messages from people this morning.

The sky is falling. Democrats swept both houses of Congress and booted several red-state governors.

Oh no! What should we do? Islam has taken over Michigan. The “Marxists” have taken over Georgia.

One lady even asked me if we should pack up and leave Georgia now that the state has gone blue.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called Tuesday’s results “an extinction-level event” that will take the Republicans years to recover from.

This type of overreaction comes out of a completely tone-deaf mentality, and an ignorance of what’s been going on in America for the last 60-plus years.

I’m here to tell you, nothing has changed purely as a result of last night’s election returns. Let me repeat that. Nothing has changed. Just as nothing has changed for 60 years. At the very top of the power structure, the same people are running the show. They just reshuffle the chairs every two to four years.

Yes, the destruction of America gets sped up over time, and yes the progression may stall for a time on one front while accelerating on another depending on who is in office, but the overall trend toward greater and greater tyranny always moves forward. It never retreats. So, when we finally get driven over the cliff, it will be impossible to point your finger solely to the “left” or the “right.” That’s a false paradigm meant to distract and deceive.

Nothing of any lasting effect will change now that Democrats are in charge of Congress.

Why do I say that? Because nothing of substance changed when the Republicans took over in 2024. At least nothing for the good. Nothing that was promised to the gullible voters was delivered.

– No deep state arrests. Dr. Fauci was asked a few questions before the lights and cameras and sent on his way. Same with Comey and the other servants of the deep state.

– No Epstein arrests. Trump said anyone who still cared about Epstein’s international pedophile network was part of a “Democrat hoax,” and he didn’t need or want their support.

– No “drill baby drill.” Gas prices didn’t go down. In fact, they went way up because Trump just couldn’t resist getting us into another Middle East war.

– No bringing industry back to America. The only substantive new investment in America’s industrial base came in the form of AI data centers that nobody wants. All those empty textile mills, machine shops and tool and die shops? They remain abandoned, along with the laid off employees and the small towns they helped support.

– No golden age.

– No mass deportations of millions of illegals.

– No end to the foreign wars (in fact new ones were started).

– No end to funding the insanely stupid proxy war against nuclear-armed Russia.

– No reduction of the national debt. In fact, Trump added to it exponentially more than any other president.

– No hardening of the power grid or improving America’s aging infrastructure. Under his first term, Trump issued an executive order declaring America’s power grid as weak, vulnerable and in need of significant upgrades. So one would think that his second term could have been used to do the work of hardening it and creating millions of jobs in the process. It didn’t happen.

– No Make America Healthy Again. MAHA turned out to be an empty slogan, as mRNA injections were totally embraced and Big Ag was protected from the legal consequences of poisoning our food. Meanwhile, the federal apparatus responsible for being a watchdog over Big Pharma threw its entire weight behind mRNA Covid and flu shots.

Instead of rebuilding America’s industrial base, all the money went into the pockets of Trump’s billionaire tech bros, and they used it to invest in AI data centers that will allow them to more easily control and enslave us. Not to mention steal our jobs.

Instead of action on the issues that matter, all we got from Trump was a constant flow of vindictive AI slop, comparing himself to Jesus, and further dividing our country, all designed to get us to hate each other more than we hate the globalist pedophiles who run it.

We got a gilded White House ballroom, we got an algae-filled reflecting pool on the D.C. mall, we got plans to build a grand victory arch, we got lots of statues and we got lots of new names for bodies of water. We got Trump coins and Trump watches. We got Israel embedded in our defense-intelligence complex.

Did we vote for any of this?

What we didn’t get was anything of substance. Things we thought we voted for.

So no, the pendulum did not swing in any new direction on Nov. 3 that will cause the sky to fall. What we got was business as usual. Political whiplash meant to wear us down and divide us up till we can’t be divided any more.

We are still in a dangerous proxy war against Russia. We are now in a direct war with an emboldened Iran, and the chains of digital tyranny are tightening here at home. Flock cameras have been installed on every corner. The data centers will pave the way for digital IDs and digital/programmable money.

But don’t blame those who voted any certain way or chose not to vote at all. Trump did this. He sabotaged his own party, then tried to blame it on us.

The sky won’t fall, but the degradation of America will continue to speed up.

Here’s what I see happening: Trump will make deals with the Democrats.

The Democrats will agree not to impeach him. Oh, they’ll hold their investigatory hearings and make it look like they want to impeach, but they won’t impeach.

The Democrats will also agree to continue funding Trump’s disastrous Iran war, at least through the end of this year and well into the next if needed.

In return, Trump will agree to work with Democrats on passing some of their pet projects, perhaps signing a major gun control bill or something they can hang their hat on.

The Democrats are as obsessed with hating Putin and Russia as Trump is obsessed with hating Iran and its mullahs, so Trump will also make a deal here. He will agree to continue the proxy war against Russia, using Ukraine to fight it with American weapons and intelligence, while getting the Democrats to continue funding his war on Iran.

What is the common denominator among all of the above “deals?”

They all hurt the American people and particularly the American taxpayers.

But it gets worse. These policies also continue to bring us closer than ever to the brink of nuclear war.

The debt will continue to explode until the dollar dies and we implode from within.

Government will continue to expand. Because war abroad always leads to more restrictions on speech and clampdowns at home.

Freedoms will continue to disappear.

All Trump has to do in order to turn his losses into a win (for himself) is get the Democrats to agree not to impeach him and to continue funding his wars.

Trump’s allegiance is not to the American people. It never was. His allegiance is to his foreign donors and billionaire business partners.

The Democrats will gladly give him what he desires most, in exchange for upping the ante against Russia and Putin while also getting Trump to sign legislation on gun control and potentially other social issues. They may even get Trump to sign on to a tax increase.

He can blame the misery ridden outcomes on the Democrats and the Democrats can blame them on Trump. Win-win for the bad guys, which, by the way, are all of them.

In short, Democrats are going to play ball with Trump, and those who voted for the Democrats expecting real change are going to experience the same sick feeling in their guts that Republicans are feeling today. Sadness. Despair. Hopelessness. Betrayal.

None of those feelings are justified. We should not be living lives centered on political outcomes, where we get sky-high and ready to throw parties when someone with an “R” next to their name wins an election, and are ready to check ourselves into a mental hospital when they lose. That is ridiculous and sinful.

People stayed home or voted for Democrats because they wanted an end to the wars. They wanted Trump impeached, and they wanted prices for gasoline and food to come down. None of that is going to happen. Disappointment is coming to the Democrats and independents who turned out and voted Tuesday for change.

We are also going to have, in the midst of all of this, more and bigger cyberattacks, electricity blackouts, and likely a false-flag attack that gives the nation a reason to rally around the flag and cheer for more war.

Bottom line: World War III HERE WE COME.

All Trump had to do if he had really wanted the Republicans to win the midterms was end his Iran war, end the Russia-Ukraine war, then sit back and watch gas/food prices plummet. He also could have backed off of his rabid data center push. But he didn’t do that.

Why am I so convinced there will be no major change over the next two years, just as there was no major change over the previous two years, only an escalation of existing trendlines toward weakening the middle class and expunging freedom from the land?

I’ll tell you why. Because both parties are filled with globalists, grifters, death-cult members and pedophiles.

Meanwhile, the technocrats and bankers who have zero attachment to any political party, sit back and laugh. They play above the level of party politics and know they can get the elected puppets of any stripe to jump to their tune.

Trump said if we were still interested in the Epstein files, he didn’t want or need our support. Well, he got what he wished for.

Our problem is not the puppet politicians who make war against we the people so much as it is the system that’s been designed to financially reward them for their destructive policies. The beast system is already in place and running on autopilot; it just hasn’t been made obvious enough for the average American to see it. Will it be too late before they do?

John Whitehead, the legendary constitutional attorney and founder of the Rutherford Institute, said it best in an article posted Nov. 4, the day after the Republican bloodbath, titled “Politicians Come and Go. The Machinery of Oppression Remains.”

Below is an excerpt from Whitehead’s article:

A revolution can topple a tyrant without dismantling tyranny.

An election can replace a president without curbing the powers of the presidency.

A new political majority can inherit the instruments of repression and adapt them to their own purposes.

In other words, what good is a political change if the weapons of oppression merely change hands?

After a midterm election that saw billions of dollars spent on political advertising and a Democratic wave sweep Republicans out of power in Congress, Americans have once again been promised a new direction for the country.

The voters have spoken. The balance of power in Washington has shifted. A new Congress will have the opportunity to rein in an imperial presidency and hold the government accountable for its abuses.

But the question that must rightfully be asked is: What comes next?

Will Congress finally rein in the surveillance state, the militarization of the police, the detention machinery, the endless wars, the government spending spree and the corporate interests that profit from the American police state? Or will the politicians settle back into their comfortable routines while the government machine keeps right on running?

I think we who are awake know the answer to Whitehead’s question.

Totalitarian ‘technocratic takeover’ of U.S. food supply now in play

USDA contracts with Palantir Technologies in $300 million deal to collect and analyze data on American farmers.

Palantir Technologies, the mega data analysis company, is furthering its takeover of the U.S. federal government under an administration that is more than eager to outsource its responsibilities to private AI-based tech companies.

Palantir, a company co-founded by billionaire transhumanist Bilderberger Peter Thiel that was named after the all-seeing eyes of mystical stones in J.R.R. Tolkein’s novel Lord of the Rings, already has contracts across 26 federal departments, including the CIA, FBI, IRS, Department of War, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, etc.

Now it has been granted another contract, worth $300 million, with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to take control of all data sets related to America’s food supply.

Israeli political parties on right and left uniting in effort to oust Netanyahu

Multiple media sources are reporting that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on the political hot seat.

This is an interesting development but not entirely surprising, and it has huge ramifications for not just Israeli politics but the U.S. as well. Here’s why.

The Gaza Technate: For the first time in history, technocracy is in plain view

The Trump family is scoring big in the crypto business, but the profits are tied directly to a certain version of crypto, Trump’s version, having ties to the U.S. dollar. This is something to watch going forward, as well as how it ties in with Trump’s Board of Peace and the redevelopment of Gaza.

That’s why the article I’m featuring below is so important. In fact, the Israeli government is working with Hamas and Trump’s Board of Peace to set up a technocratic government that will rule over Gaza. Even the Jerusalem Post is reporting on this fact, and yet so few Christians seem to be speaking out about it.

Patrick Wood is 45-year scholar studying the ins and outs of technocracy. He’s also been an ardent supporter of Israel over his long career, so when he is speaking out about how Gaza is the model for a one-world system known as global technocracy, we should hear him out. Read his expert analysis below and go to his website for much more on this and other related topics, because if this isn’t stopped, you truly will own nothing and…

By Patrick Wood

Brace yourself.

Last week, I was shocked to find that Trump’s “meme coin” had morphed into a $13 billion empire after starting with $0 in September 2024. It’s called World Liberty Financial (WLF), and the crypto token is called USD1. In the interim, the Trump boys have scored a major deal with Pakistan:

“On January 14, 2026, WLF signed a strategic agreement with the Government of Pakistan via SC Financial Technologies to integrate USD1 into Pakistan’s regulated digital payment architecture for cross-border payments. This is the first sovereign-level adoption of USD1 and signals the platform’s ambition to become a global dollar settlement layer for emerging markets — bypassing traditional correspondent banking entirely.”

This is a huge story, perhaps the biggest of the 21st century.

Trump demands social-media platforms turn over lists of political dissidents

Two-party system has all but shredded First Amendment, which protects rights of all Americans to speak out against their government without fear of censorship or political retribution

Remember how Donald Trump prattled on about the evils of the Biden administration censoring Americans’ online activity and how he was going to restore free speech?

He said he was going to make the internet free again for conservatives to express their views and opinions without fear of being censored or shadow banned like they were under Biden.

That now seems like a distant memory. While X and Meta have marginally eased their censorship of conservative voices, the administration is taking a note from the Biden playbook and pressuring them to crack down on those who speak out against Trump policies.

Why did 57 Trump-supported GOP members of Congress vote with Dems to support Biden’s Orwellian mandatory kill switches on all new automobiles?

Rep. Thomas Massie, who Trump is trying to get removed from Congress, put forth an amendment to kill the Biden kill switch legislation that takes effect this year, but Trump and his supporters rallied against Massie’s amendment

President Trump and his cult following of “MAGA” Republicans once again showed their true colors in support of digital surveillance and outright tyranny.

In an underreported story on Thursday, 57 Republican members of Congress joined Democrats in voting down an amendment that would have repealed Joe Biden’s mandatory automobile kill switch.

“Kill switch” you ask? What is that all about?

In a back-page article Fox News casually reports:

“Fifty-seven Republicans voted with the vast majority of Democrats on Thursday to keep a Biden-era mandate enabling government remote control of vehicles, drawing backlash from conservatives like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.”

Government remote control of our vehicles? In America? This should be the biggest screaming headline of the day, and yet most Americans aren’t even aware of it.

Fox further reports:

“The group voted to defeat an amendment proposed by Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., that would have rolled back government requirements for the development of a ‘kill switch’ to disable the cars of impaired drivers.”

Massie’s amendment failed by a vote of 164-268.

Here’s Massie pleading, in the video below, with his fellow members of Congress to vote for his amendment, as it turned out to no avail.

Ah, but it’s only for drunk drivers, the propagandists tell us. It’s for our safety!

Let’s break it down and get to the bottom of what’s really going on here.

TDS or TIS? How ‘Derangement Syndrome’ has infected both sides in the left-right paradigm

Keeping people angry, fearful, confused and emotionally on the edge (their ability to be critical thinkers neutralized) is key to the globalist plan to create a herd mentality (hive mind) that punishes dissent and rewards compliance

I’m not aware of any period in modern history where deception was more intense than what we’re seeing today. The growing number and sophistication of psy ops being run on global populations makes it harder than ever to truly discern what’s going on. I hope this article will help in that regard but we will all need to pray for godly discernment as we move foreward into a new year that seems primed for war, violent uprisings, bitter crackdowns by authoritarian leaders, and rising economic hardship.

Get ready for more chaos, globally and within the U.S., as Trump claims total unchecked power to start new wars abroad while threatening to invoke Insurrection Act at home

NOTE: A version of this article was first published January 8, 2025, at Leo Hohmann’s Substack.

There’s a powder keg building in Minnesota that bears watching.

I predicted several years ago that the easiest and most likely way for the globalists to orchestrate the final takedown of America would be to embroil the country simultaneously in a world war and a civil war.

With the events of the last week, that well-scripted scenario seems more likely than ever to be the one followed by the powers that be.

The biggest reason for regime change in Venezuela has little to do with drugs, freedom-democracy, the Monroe Doctrine or even oil

NOTE: Happy New Year to all my readers and a big thank you to those who donated in 2025. It’s only because of you that I am able to devote myself fulltime to this work, both here and at my Substack.

I learned long ago that the truth will never win you any popularity contests because the media voices with the biggest amplifiers are typically the ones most invested in running cover for government lies.

If you listen to those voices, many of them on Fox News, the January 3 kidnapping of Venezuela’s socialist dictator was a noble effort by a freedom-loving American president who seeks to set the captives free and bless us with cheap oil and endless prosperity. Many alternative media talkers, such as Alex Jones and others with large audiences, have also latched onto this narrative.

They look at these operations in a vacuum as opposed to in the broad scope of history and the track record of previous regime-change operations. That record is long on blood, violence and pillage and short on freedom and democracy.

Those who depend on these influencers for their “news” tend to be folks who live in the moment and the feel-good emotions sparked by video clips they see being passed around on social media. They see liberated Venezuelans dancing in the streets amid overflowing jubilation.

And they drink the Kool Aid.

It tastes so good they want to share it with the rest of us.

In their excitement, some will ask you what you think about Venezuela. Here’s where it gets interesting.

In 2026 lines will continue to blur between reality and a soul-crushing, creativity-destroying fake digital utopia: The time for resistance is now…Don’t let globalist technocrats steal your humanity

Happy New Year to all and thank you to all who supported my work in 2025. Here’s wishing you all a good 2026, free of the digital matrix and its destructive algorithms. Here’s some moral support to get you started in reclaiming your freedom and humanity in a world that increasingly despises both.

I was hoping that 2025 would be the year Americans woke up and realized they’re being played — unnecessarily divided and played, one group off against another.

I was hoping that they would break out of the Fox News/CNN/MSNBC matrix. I hoped they would see the world as it really is, not as the warmongering neocons and neolibs in Washington want us to see it — with a foreign boogieman lurking around every corner.

I was disappointed.

Many did whisk the sleep from their eyes enough to see that the biggest enemy is our own government and its corporate “partners” in Big Tech, Big Pharma, Big Food, and Big Agriculture.

But not nearly enough. Let’s break it down.
