To Keep Winning, America First Must Leverage the Power of Information Operations
One of the glorious parts of the campaign that Trump 2.0 is prosecuting against the Deep State is the unprecedented way it exploits the Internet and high technology to take on what’s essentially a mid–20th century government leviathan. After all, it’s come out that the government's flunky retirements are handled on paper in a limestone cavern, and that Treasury is still running some of its systems on COBOL. Now, I’m not a computer geek, having kissed a girl, but I remember COBOL was a thing when I was in college, and when I was in college, A Flock of Seagulls was a thing.
Moreover, the movement is leveraging outside talent, like X folk hero and heroine @oilfield_rando and @datarepublican, who use their knowledge and technology to interrogate and expose the hidden misdeeds of the Deep State. This is great stuff. This has to be encouraged. There are not just a few dozen or hundreds or even thousands of these kinds of savants out there. There are tens of thousands of more people who have the skills to conduct decentralized operations to support the administration’s war on the Institutions that have made war on us. The Democrats flirted with this kind of mobilization of outside assets to do evil – there were groups of psychopaths who made it their point to hunt down innocent Americans for the crime of protesting on January 6, and it’s hilarious that all the efforts have come to nothing thanks to President Trump delivering justice through the pardons.
This is an information battle as much as anything else – knowledge is power, and fast knowledge is superpower. We are trying to do a few things with information. The most important is to find and identify problems. That’s one of the things DOGE is doing with its algorithms – uncovering the hidden problems within the system. But there are other problems out there that aren’t hidden in the code. Tyrannical bureaucrats hassling patriots and defying the president, for example. While we can’t identify and solve every single injustice out there, we can make a systemic impact by publicly highlighting and correcting selected problems. In other words, if we find something going on that’s symbolic, we publicize........
