OVERRIDE: INSIDE THE REVOLUTION REWIRING AMERICAN POWER

How @POTUS + @DOGE cracked Washington's administrative state, starting with Treasury and USAID. The revolution is just beginning. 🧵

The clock struck 2 AM on January 21st, 2025...Image
Four young coders sat in Treasury’s basement.

Their screens cast blue light across government desks.

Their mission?

Crack the deep state.

“We’re in,” Akash typed.

“All of it.” Image
Within hours: $17 billion in waste exposed.

No committees.
No approvals.
No red tape.

Just four coders with a bunch of laptops.

Moving faster than bureaucracy could react.

By the time resistance drafted its first memo…

Three more systems were already mapped.
But this wasn’t a hack.

This wasn’t a breach.

This was authorized disruption.

Behind them stood 1,000 pre-vetted personnel.

The most prepared transition team in American history.

“How many weeks left?” the President asked daily.

“Enough to change everything.”
“This is the new normal,”

@JDVance declared earlier from his West Wing office.

While media focused on confirmation hearings…

A revolution was already spreading.

“He’s having the time of his life,” Vance added.

Because the permanent bureaucracy never saw it coming.
USAID fell next.

No midnight raids.
No secret algorithms.

Just one memo:

“Pursuant to Executive Authority…”

Career officials panicked.

Why?

Because USAID—created by executive order—could vanish with a single signature.

Six decades of hidden networks suddenly faced sunlight.Image
The pattern was devastating in its simplicity:

1 Map the money flows
2 Deploy aligned personnel
3 Expose the networks
4 Restructure the systems

By the time bureaucrats drafted objections to one breach…

Three more had occurred.
The scale is breathtaking:

EPA climate billions? Not just mapped.
Found unauthorized programs in 47 states.

Education’s DEI maze? Not just exposed.
Revealed coordination across 1,200 programs.

Intelligence black budgets? Not just traced.
Uncovered patterns hidden for 30 years.

“Wait till you see what’s next,” an insider warns.
The resistance is trying everything:

Slow-walking decisions? Failed.

Leaking to media? Backfired.

Claiming “expertise”? Collapsed.

Veiled threats and inciting violence? FAFO.

You can’t slow-walk what’s already inside.
You can’t leak what’s already transparent.
You can’t claim expertise against hard data.
Coming soon, across Washington:

Career officials who survived every reform since Reagan… start calling headhunters.

A Deputy Director’s LinkedIn status might read:
“Open to opportunities.”

An Agency Chief:
“Exploring new challenges.”

A Bureau Head:
“Time for change.”

Not yet Feb 6, but the exodus has already begun.Image
Meanwhile, across America… soon we'll see extraordinary things happening:

Springfield, Ohio: Potholes fixed overnight.

Rural Tennessee: Broadband finally arrived.

Michigan: Water systems upgraded.

Government… working.
POTUS @realDonaldTrump has done more in two weeks than Biden did in four years and Obama did in eight

Why?

Because this wasn’t just speed.
This wasn’t just tech.
This wasn’t just personnel.

It was all three, perfectly aligned. Image
And the revolution is spreading. Here's what we will see:

Real-time tracking to replace quarterly reports.

Algorithmic oversight replacing review boards.

Local solutions replacing federal mandates.

Results replacing process.

For the first time in generations…

Americans will view their government not as an obstacle but as a tool.
“My God,” people will whisper.

“It’s really happening.”

The storm isn’t slowing.
The pace isn’t dropping.
The restoration isn’t over.

For those who built careers controlling the machinery of government…

This is the end.

But for America…

This is just the beginning.
Prediction for when they reach EPA, DOEn etc

Billions in unauthorized grants.
Decades of hidden programs.
Networks of coordinated funding.

“Pull this thread,” an official warns,

“And the whole sweater unravels.”
The swamp runs on two things,”
A senior advisor explained.

1 Control of information
2 Control of money flows

“We’re not just exposing their networks…”
“We’re rewriting their DNA.” Image
The cracks appeared in unexpected places:
A career civil servant, tears streaming:
“Everything we built…”

A USAID veteran, hands shaking:
“They’re inside all of it…”

A Treasury lifer, emptying his office:
“They moved faster than we can think.”
DOGE’s methods are like archaeology tools.

Excavating decades of buried networks.
Each data point connected to another.
Each discovery revealed new targets.
Each pattern exposed larger systems.

“It’s beautiful,” a coder whispered.

“Like watching a galaxy map itself.” Image
For the permanent bureaucracy, this isn't just change.
It's an extinction-level event.

Their power came from controlling:

Who got paid.
When they got paid.
What they got paid for.

Now those controls were evaporating.
Like dawn burning away darkness.
“Personnel is policy,” they said.

But this was different:

Every position carefully chosen.
Every authority pre-mapped.
Every system already targeted.

This transition team wasn't just staffing.

This was siege warfare. Image
“They thought we’d slow down,” @JDVance said.

“They thought we’d get bogged down in process.”

“They thought we’d play by their rules.”

He smiled.

“Instead, we’re just getting started.” Image
The transformation will be staggering:

Thousands of redundant programs identified.
Trillions of dollars in waste exposed.
Countless unauthorized initiatives halted.
And so much more,,,

But the real metric?

Trust in government is already rising for the first time in 50 years.
The storm when it hits won't just change Washington.

It'll transform America itself.

Roads repaired.
Airports built.
Schools revitalized.
Water purified.

But more importantly…

Trust restored.

For the first time in generations, people see their government as a tool for positive change.
This wasn’t just reform.
This wasn’t just change.
This was renaissance.
The administrative state met its match.
The sun rose over Washington.

Classical columns cast long shadows.
Inside, screens still glowed blue.

The administrative state met its match.

And nothing would ever be the same again. Image

Jesus hid the same pattern in 12 different parables.

Once you see it, you can't unsee it. Image
Image
Prodigal Son

The father tells the older brother: "Everything I have is yours. It always has been."

The older son spent his whole life working to earn what he already owned.

He was a servant in his own father's house.Image
Lost Sheep

The shepherd leaves 99 sheep in the wilderness to find one.

Not in a barn. In the wild. Where the wolves are.

Any reasonable person would call this bad math.

Jesus called it the kingdom.Image

A farmer walks his field scattering seed everywhere.

Hard paths where it can't penetrate.

Rocky soil where it can't root.

Thorn-choked ground that will strangle it.

His neighbors think he's wasting perfectly good seed.

But Jesus said this farmer understood something about the Kingdom they didn't.Image
The surface story seems simple enough.

Four types of soil. Only one produces a harvest.

Most sermons stop there:

"Be good soil. Work on yourself. Become worthy of receiving truth."

But that interpretation buries what Jesus was actually revealing.
Watch what the Sower does.

He doesn't test the soil first.

Doesn't calculate which ground deserves seed.

Doesn't reserve his best grain for proven producers.

He just throws it. Everywhere. Randomly.

Any efficient farmer watching would call this agricultural malpractice.

Why did Jesus speak in riddles?

The Pharisees asked him this. His answer should terrify anyone who depends on controlling information.

"I speak in parables so the truth survives what's coming."

He knew they'd bury everything he said. So he hid it in stories they couldn't kill without exposing themselves.

2,000 years later, it's working.Image
Image
Jerusalem, 30 AD. Occupied city. Religious authorities who'd spent centuries perfecting how to silence people.

Every teacher knew the rules. Say the wrong thing, you disappear.

The machine was efficient. Prophets didn't last long.
Jesus had maybe three years before they killed him. He had to build something that would survive his death.
Here's what he figured out:

Your mind has defenses. Someone attacks your beliefs directly, you shut down. Argue harder. Dismiss them.

But tell someone a story? The defenses drop. You lean in. You want to know what happens.

Stories don't trigger the same antibodies that doctrine does.

What If the Church Was Never the Point?

(a thread for the curious, the wounded, and the remembering)

1/10

What if “Christianity” isn’t what Jesus taught.

But what others built after he was gone?

What if the kingdom he described
was never a place to reach,
but a pattern to recognize?

Here. Now. In you.Image
2/10

Jesus never said:

“Build cathedrals.”

“Write creeds.”

“Appoint gatekeepers.”

He said:

The kingdom isn’t coming.
It’s already within you.
Luke 17:21

That was the revolution.

Then came the edits.
3/10

After his death,
his followers faced empire.

To survive, they blended fire with form:

Roman rituals → sacraments

Greek philosophy → theology

Fear of chaos → systems of control

The pattern became policy.

The way became institution.

During today's parade, DC filled with more soldiers than we've seen in eons.

We celebrated 250 years of military tradition. But the Army's most brilliant victories often came from making people see exactly what they expected to see.

Like the Ghost Army of WWII 🧵

1/ Image
World War II.

The U.S. Army creates a unit of pure deception.

Artists. Sound engineers. Actors.

Their weapons were inflatable tanks and recorded battle sounds.

Their mission: make the Germans defend against armies that didn't exist.

2/
Picture the genius.

Combat artists inflating rubber tanks at 3 AM. German reconnaissance photographing them at dawn.

By noon, everything deflated and packed in trucks.

That night, the same "tank division" appears 50 miles away.

PRESIDENTIAL BLOOD

They offered Washington a crown.

He refused.

Most people know almost every American president traces back to Charlemagne, 8th century King of the Franks and Holy Roman Emperor.

But genealogists discovered something more precise:Image
Washington carried the blood of three specific kings.

Edward I
Edward III
William the Lion of Scotland

He wasn't alone.
EDWARD I's blood flows through nine presidents:

Washington
The Bushes
Ford
both Harrisons
Pierce
Teddy Roosevelt
Taft
TaylorImage
