1) So you’re seeing in the news that the Trump administration is going to make changes at the Smithsonian. This is not a new thing. The executive order mandating this was signed in March. In this thread, I will show you what they’re going to do. So let’s begin⬇️

2) So we’re going to review the letter first, and then we’ll get to the executive order. Here you see the executive order mentioned. And in the letter, you see what they’re going to do: Erase history they don’t like, and invent history they do like. Let’s continue⬇️

3) Here in the letter, they show the Smithsonian institutions they’re going after. Highlighted are the ones they’re going to go after the most. Why natural history? To depict Christian Creationism instead of evolution. The rest of the museums are obvious targets. Let’s continue⬇️

4) We need to return to this to also see that a Phase 2 is mentioned. And I know what that phase 2 actually is, because it’s in the executive order. It’s actually happening already. Let’s continue⬇️

5) Here you see that the Smithsonian must censor history. They must remove what the Trump admin tells them to remove, and put in “history” that accords with MAGA ideology. And they have a target date for that. It has already begun, by the way. Let’s continue⬇️

6) Now this is what they’re actually going to call this fascist MAGA ideology: “Americanism”. There’s a number of reasons they’re doing this that has to do with historical fascist ideology and propaganda techniques. See, THEY determine what America is. Let’s continue⬇️

7) The end of the letter. That guy, Russell Vought? That’s the true architect of this. This is Project 2025 and he’s one of the people involved with that. We’ll get to Vought later. But now we need to see what Phase 2 mentioned above is, so let’s continue⬇️

8) This is the executive order. As you see, this was signed in March and the news doesn’t really read these. So it always takes them by surprise when the plans are put into action. So we’re now going to review parts of this order. Let’s keep going⬇️

9) The order is here talking about Phase 1, the Smithsonian. As you see here, they’re erasing history in the same way as the Cultural Revolution of Maoist China. Anything that doesn’t accord with MAGA ideology must be removed. Now, we must digress a moment next⬇️

10) Some people might not know what I’m referring to when I mentioned the Cultural Revolution. So this is what that was. What we’re seeing now is a MAGA Cultural Revolution. It’s obvious they’re using this as a template. Now let’s return to the executive order next⬇️

11) So this is Phase 1 of the Smithsonian action. As you see, here’s a couple of the problems they have with the museums listed in the letter above. Let’s continue⬇️

12) This is the beginning of Phase 2. This will be the epicenter of the MAGA Americanism ideology. I suspect they’re going to declare “independence” from what they will depict as the old “wrong” America to usher in their own America via a Cultural Revolution. Let’s continue⬇️

13) This is Phase 2. Note the title: They decide what the “truth” is. Again, a Cultural Revolution. And how? They’re going to put back all the Confederate statues and monuments that were removed, as well as others. Let’s continue⬇️

14) Here, they will remove all public physical evidence (monuments, etc) of anything they don’t like. Museums aren’t specifically mentioned, but we know from the letter above that they will be targeted. This is what was done during the Maoist Cultural Revolution. Let’s continue⬇️

15) Here is the thread about the executive order. I wrote this the day it was released, and I warned everyone that this was going to happen. And I pointed out that this is a MAGA Cultural Revolution. Well, now it is happening. Let’s continue⬇️

16) I also warned everyone about Russ Vought exactly a year ago. And, obviously, before the election. As you saw above, Vought is the architect of the MAGA Cultural Revolution. I suspect he writes Trump’s executive orders, too. Let’s continue⬇️

17) Also, over a year ago, I warned that Vought’s organization gets its ideas from some very problematic sources. I have long been pointing out exactly what was going to happen, and now it is happening. So what do we do? Let’s continue⬇️

https://twitter.com/flutemagician/status/1776054853384409555

18) This is what we need to do. I’ve been saying this since Trump took office. The news is too incompetent, too scared, or too complicit in some cases to do this. We must be the voice we wish to see in America and inform the public about what’s going to happen. Let’s continue⬇️

19) NAFO is the perfect example of what can be achieved. We must be the Maquis to fight against fascism using information, just as NAFO fights an information war against Russian disinformation and propaganda. And there is a way. Let’s continue⬇️

20) The executive orders are the vulnerability of the Trump regime. Because the executive orders precede the actions, so they are literally telling you what their plans are. By publicizing them, we can tell state and local governments what they need to prepare for. And by that⬇️

21) When local govt knows what’s coming, they can prepare countermeasures in advance to be ready. This is the sort of the equivalent of breaking the Nazi Enigma code during World War Two. The executive orders are their war plans. It’s their Enigma Code. And we can expose them.
