🧵BREAKING: Why Trump's latest move against the Deep State is more revolutionary than you think.

A thread on how revoking 51 security clearances could change everything...

1/15 Image
🔥 Last night's bombshell: Trump plans to strip security clearances from 51 former intelligence officials who called Hunter's laptop "Russian disinfo" before 2020 election.

In DC, this isn't just news. It's an earthquake.

2/15

Let me tell you why this matters SO MUCH. These aren't just random bureaucrats - they're the REAL power players in DC who never truly "retire."

They keep their clearances. They go on CNN. They shape narratives.

3/15 Image
THINK ABOUT IT: These 51 officials KNEW the laptop was real. The FBI had it since 2019. Yet they used their authority to lie to Americans.

Post-election polls show this swayed up to 17% of Democrat voters!

4/15 Image
🚨 This is the Deep State's playbook:

- Claim special knowledge
- Push false narratives
- Interfere in elections
- Blackmail and jail opponents
- Face zero consequences

Until now.

5/15 Image
The truth? These "retired" officials never stopped wielding power. They're part of a shadow government that's been running things while Biden can barely remember his own name.

6/15 Image
🔑 Key point: This isn't just about clearances. It's about BREAKING the permanent power structure that's been controlling our country from behind the scenes.

7/15 Image
Remember: These are the same people who:

- Pushed the Russia hoax
- Censored real news
- Manipulated elections
- Defrauded the voters
- Protected their own

8/15 Image
The REAL revolution isn't just about elections - it's about dismantling this unelected power structure that thinks it can override the will of American voters.

9/15 Image
Why haven't previous presidents done this? Simple: FEAR. These people know everyone's secrets. They're the ultimate DC protection racket.

10/15 Image
But Trump's doing it anyway. That's why this is different.

That's why this matters. This isn't just politics. This is war against the Deep State.

11/15 Image
The stakes? Everything.

- Our democracy
- Rule of law
- Future elections
- Whether we have a government that imprisons opposition leaders
- American liberty itself

12/15 Image
🎯 Make no mistake: This is a direct shot at the heart of the administrative state. It's telling the "permanent government" they're not so permanent after all.

13/15 Image
Critics will say this is dangerous. They're right - but not for the reasons they think. It's dangerous to THEM and their power structure.

14/15 Image
The bottom line: this is how you Drain The Swamp. Not with slogans, but action.

This is just the beginning... 🇺🇸

🧵A single uranium pellet the size of a gummy bear equals the energy of 140 barrels of oil.

Nuclear is the cleanest, safest, densest energy source on Earth. And now, it can be produced with zero chance of meltdown or radiation leaks.

So why isn’t it powering everything? We buried a miracle under 50 years of regulation. That’s changing fast. 🧵Image
2/ From 1974 to 2025, the NRC approved zero new reactor designs.

Only two reactors came online in that entire period.

Trump’s executive orders are blowing this open: goal to quadruple America’s nuclear fleet by 2050, 18-month licensing timelines, and three new microreactors online by July 4, 2026.

Nuclear entrepreneurs say regulation is finally becoming a solved problem.Image
3/ The breakthrough making “zero meltdown or radiation leaks” possible is TRISO fuel.

These snooker-ball-sized ceramic pebbles trap radiation inside — even if you turn off all coolant systems. China tested it: the reactor simply cooled down naturally. Wow!

Microreactors using TRISO are small enough to fit in a living room.Image

🧵 China’s population collapse is now mathematically irreversible.

There simply aren’t enough women left of childbearing age.

Even if the fertility rate magically returned to replacement level (2.1 children per woman) tomorrow, the country would still lose more than 40% of its population by 2100.

It won't. The real number is 75%. There's nothing like it in history. 🧵Image
2/ Official estimates say China has only ~190 million women of childbearing age. That number is much higher than reality.

The One Child Policy (1980–2016) and its echoes slashed entire generations. Sex-selective abortions made it worse.

The cohorts now entering prime childbearing years are themselves the children of the one-child policy — already a drastically smaller group.

Each generation compounds the previous deficit.Image
3/ The numbers are brutal.

Population has fallen for four straight years. In 2025: just 7.92 million births vs. 11.31 million deaths — a record natural decline outside Mao’s famine.

Births dropped another 17% in 2025, hitting the lowest level since 1949. Total fertility rate is now ~0.92 (some estimates as low as 0.84).Image

🧵84 years ago this week, the Battle of Midway changed history.

But what if America had lost — as it very nearly did?

People have no idea how close we came to a Japanese victory that would have cost the Allies both the Pacific and Europe.

It was that close. 🧵 Image
2/ Had Japan won at Midway, they would have destroyed three U.S. carriers while keeping their fleet intact.

Nothing could have stopped them from seizing key South Pacific islands, building airfields, and creating an impregnable defensive perimeter from Samoa to Midway to the Aleutians.

U.S. supply lines to Australia would have been severed. A Pacific offensive delayed until mid-1943 or later.

But that's just the beginning....Image
3/ An isolated, vulnerable Australia would have had to bring home its own critical troops from North Africa.

Their 7th Division was decisive at El Alamein. Without them, Britain likely would have lost the Suez Canal, the Mediterranean, and India.

Without options, Australia might have even been forced into a neutrality pact with Japan — trading raw materials for safety.Image

🧵The EU is finally waking up: Donald Trump was right about China.

Europe’s industrial base could be obliterated in less than a decade by China’s predatory export machine.

Brussels ignored the warnings. Now they’re facing the consequences. 🧵 Image
2/ China is doubling down on massive over-investment and dumping excess capacity on the world while pursuing autarky at home.

Effect: it's exporting deflation and unemployment as a means to stay in power by destroying your job.

The Rhodium Group warns this “China Shock 2.0” is bigger and more sophisticated than the first one that hollowed out America’s Rust Belt.Image
3/ Europe is the soft target this time.

China runs a €1 billion DAILY trade surplus with the EU. Without action, the deficit could hit €500 billion by 2027.

As Trump’s tariffs blocked China from flooding the U.S. market, the tsunami of cheap goods shifted to Europe — hitting Germany, France, and beyond with devastating force.Image

🧵Leftist, progressive lawyers are fleeing the Trump administration in large numbers.

According to the NYT, more than 10,000 have left federal agencies since the beginning of 2025, according to a New York Times analysis.

The federal government has lost an incredible 17% of its civilian lawyers in just 15 months. Bwuhahahahahaha!

This isn’t random attrition. It’s a self-revelation. 🧵Image
2/ The numbers are stark.

The Department of Education lost more than half its lawyers. The Departments of Housing and Urban Development, Labor, Energy, and Agriculture all saw steep declines. DOJ is down 24%.

The Deep State saboteurs are leaving. Trump is getting to replace them. But he's hiring fewer.

Despite agencies hiring about 3,200 lawyers during this period, departures still vastly outpaced recruitment.Image
3/ There's one major exception.

The Department of Homeland Security increased its legal staff by 21% as the administration ramped up immigration enforcement.

The agencies most focused on Trump’s core priorities — border security and reducing regulatory overreach — are either holding steady or growing.

The ones most aligned with the old administrative state are emptying out.Image

🧵Is Scott Bessent working to crash the yuan?

He helped break the Bank of England in 1992. Now Trump’s Treasury Secretary is using that experience against China — and Beijing should be terrified.

THREAD🧵 Image
2/ In 1992, Scott Bessent was part of the Soros team that broke the pound.

Britain was defending an exchange rate reality no longer supported. The speculators attacked. The Bank of England lost.

Trump watched. He learned the lesson.

Governments don’t lose currencies because traders are clever. They lose them because they defend lies too long.Image
3/ Bessent recently described China’s economy as the most imbalanced in modern history.

Trapped in deflation. Desperately trying to export its way out. Its own people don’t trust the yuan — they want their money out, but the CCP won’t let them.

Bessent's words aren't normal economic commentary. They're a lesson in the anatomy of a currency regime under terminal pressure.Image
