Executive Summary
On the 250th anniversary of a small band of men declaring war on the most powerful empire on earth, We the People are being asked to defend the same republic against a very different kind of enemy. This week the White House released Saving America's Story: Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History — a report documenting how the Smithsonian has spent fifteen years erasing exhibits on George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, the Continental Congress, and the American Revolution. Marco Rubio put out a statement worth reading twice. Barack Obama signed the United States onto Agenda 2030 in 2015 without the consent of the governed. On July 4, 2026, the Democrat Socialists of America celebrated crossing 120,000 dues-paying members — the largest socialist organization in American history, surpassing Eugene Debs' peak in 1912.
This is the same battle JFK named on April 27, 1961 — infiltration instead of invasion, subversion instead of elections, manipulation instead of free choice. He was murdered two and a half years later. Since November 22, 1963, no one in our government has been held accountable for any of the significant crimes that followed. Critical Legal Theory has quietly replaced constitutional law in American courtrooms — pushed by the Open Society Foundations, the Brennan Center for Justice, the Vera Institute, and the ACLU. Rogue judges are releasing violent offenders back onto the streets. In Florida, Attorney General James Uthmeier is now filing articles of impeachment against them, and Governor Ron DeSantis has endorsed the move. California functions as a public-private partnership with the CCP — sister cities, 700+ FARA filings, Gavin Newsom's 2023 climate agreement, the California-China Climate Institute at Berkeley.
And yet there is real progress. The New Civil Liberties Alliance is pursuing FOIA litigation on the Biden-era censorship regime. Chicago just saw 305 arrests over one weekend, with 24 trafficked minors rescued. Florida is drawing a line every state can follow. The covenant our Founders wrote can still be restored — but only by We the People, in our communities, right now. Scroll to the bottom for Key Takeaways.
The Founders Understood What Was At Stake
Two hundred and fifty years ago, a small band of men gathered in Philadelphia. They pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to declare war on the most powerful empire on earth. Many of them would lose everything — their homes burned, their land ransacked, every last pound and shilling poured into the patriot struggle. Some died as paupers.
They understood something free men have always known — that there are things more precious than wealth, more valuable than safety, that there are great causes more important even than life itself. The men who signed the Declaration were writing a new chapter in the story of an ancient civilization. They were heirs to the English tradition of common law and liberty, to the Christian moral imagination, to the Roman idea of republican virtue, to the whole expanse of the Western memory — stretching from Athens and Rome to the Magna Carta to Jamestown and Plymouth Rock.
Our Founders knew that liberty was not an abstraction floating above history. They knew that parchment promises alone could not make a nation free. The Soviet Union's constitution promised freedoms it never intended to honor. Many failed states have borrowed the language of rights and liberties. But a constitution is only as strong as the people it belongs to.
The JFK Speech, and What It Predicted
On April 27, 1961, John F. Kennedy warned the American Newspaper Publishers Association about "a ruthless and monolithic conspiracy" that relied on "infiltration instead of invasion, subversion instead of elections, manipulation instead of free choice, and guerrillas by night instead of armies by day." My book, Infiltration Instead of Invasion: America Betrayed 1944 to 1954, is based on that speech — I know it by heart.
Two and a half years later he was dead. Most of you who watch my show know I am convinced that the coup or capture of our nation kicked into high gear on November 22, 1963. From that day forward, every major crime by the international banking cartel, the global public-private partnership, and the international intelligence operations that run above our nations has gone unaddressed. In 1953 the Dulles brothers reconfigured the State Department so it worked not for We the People but for that parallel authority. The CIA was reconfigured to protect them, not us. USAID came later. NED came later. The architecture was set.
Judicial Watch is still — two years into this administration — filing lawsuits just to get basic information on one of the biggest news stories in American history. Why? Because the reflex inside the bureaucracy is still to protect the institutions. These institutions have proven, over and over again, to be the enemy of the people they were sworn to serve.
Erasing Washington and Jefferson at the Smithsonian
The White House released Saving America's Story: Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History this week. The Smithsonian findings are shocking. Smithsonian leadership over the last fifteen years has explicitly adopted an ideological framework that no longer treats the American story as a shared national inheritance to be taught or celebrated — but as a political instrument to divide, dispirit, and discourage citizens from loving this country.
They minimize the Founding, the Founding Fathers, and the founding documents. They emphasize systemic racism, oppression, and national failure. Exhibits on George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, the Continental Congress, the American Revolution, and Ben Franklin — all removed. The African American Smithsonian excluded Clarence Thomas, Ward Connerly, and Thomas Sowell because they were Republicans. Yuri Bezmenov told us this exact game was in play in the 1980s — a full generation from kindergarten to college taught to hate this country. We are way past that stage now.
Critical Legal Theory in the American Courtroom
Go to law.cornell.edu right now and look up "Critical Legal Theory." It is a real thing. It has replaced constitutional law in the United States of America. It was brought in by Barack Obama and Eric Holder — and Obama was a proponent of Critical Legal Theory when he mysteriously showed up at 27 years old at Harvard Law. The Open Society Foundations, the Brennan Center for Justice, the Vera Institute, and the ACLU are the biggest pushers.
The framework itself holds that "law supports a power dynamic which favors the historically privileged and disadvantages the historically underprivileged." Translated — that is Marxist communism. It prioritizes criminals based on skin color and economic background, not on their crimes. It prioritizes criminals over victims. That is why DeCarlos Brown Jr., who slashed the throat of a young Ukrainian woman on a train, has been declared incompetent to stand trial. That is why a man released after attempted murder went on to kill three tourists — and why a released sex offender murdered his five-year-old stepdaughter.
Florida's Impeachment Move
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is filing articles of impeachment against the judges refusing to punish dangerous criminals. Governor Ron DeSantis has endorsed the move and called on the state legislature to do its duty. Florida is showing every state in the union how to restrain rogue judges who normalize Critical Legal Theory from the bench. This is exactly the kind of state-level restoration the covenant was designed to permit.
Virginia's Clean Slate — The Opposite Direction
Virginia has gone the other way. Under the new Clean Slate law, arrest records, guilty pleas, and even convictions can be sealed after a set period. Progressive judges are giving lesser charges specifically so records qualify for sealing. Prosecutors keep access. Landlords, employers, background checks, neighborhoods do not. Child molesters and people who trade in child pornography will be able to move into your community and no one will know.
California, the CCP, and the DSA at 120,000
The United Front Work Department is embedded across California — at ports, in logistics, in technology, in venture capital, in semiconductors, in AI, in batteries, in EV supply chains. There is a formal alignment between the CCP and the California Chamber of Commerce. There are more than 700 FARA filings in California alone. In 2023 Governor Gavin Newsom personally signed an agreement with the CCP on "sustainable development goals" — Agenda 2030 language. The California-China Climate Institute sits at Berkeley, alongside the CSSA and the Tsinghua collaboration.
On July 4, 2026, the Democrat Socialists of America posted on their own X account that they had crossed 120,000 dues-paying members — the largest socialist organization in American history. They surpassed Eugene Debs' Socialist Party of America, which peaked at 113,371 in 1912 and was later banned under the Communist Control Act. The 2026 DSA is winning elections. They coordinate with Indivisible. They recruit in high school. Francesca Hong — DSA and CAIR-backed — is leading in Wisconsin.
Hollywood, the Obama Foundation, and the Global Node
Hollywood was captured in the early 2000s. I lived through it. As a writer at that time you could not not see it. The casting couch became the climate change couch. BLM, LGBTQ+ identity politics, DEI, CRT, stakeholder capitalism — all of it was running through Hollywood a decade before the rest of the country was told to swallow it. The gatekeepers of Hollywood became the gatekeepers of the World Economic Forum.
The Obama Foundation is the American analog to that global node. It sends "global fellows" the same way the WEF sent "young global leaders." Questions surround the elections in Mallorca, Georgia, Poland, Romania, and Brazil. It looks like Obama has picked up the slack from the young global leaders — his sister organization at the WEF.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Critical Legal Theory actually replacing constitutional law?
Yes. Cornell Law School's own website documents Critical Legal Theory as a named legal framework. It has been embedded through the ACLU, the Brennan Center, the Vera Institute, and the Open Society Foundations, and it now shapes prosecutorial priorities and judicial decisions in progressive states. Florida's impeachment move is a direct response.
Why does the Smithsonian removing Founders exhibits matter?
Because a nation that no longer knows its founding story cannot defend it. Yuri Bezmenov taught that demoralization — one generation raised without love of country — is the first stage of subversion. The Smithsonian is our national memory institution. When it removes Washington, Jefferson, and the Continental Congress, it is not neutral curation. It is a political act designed to erase civic identity.
Was Barack Obama really the one who signed the U.S. onto Agenda 2030?
Yes — in 2015, without the consent of the governed. Agenda 2030 is the U.N.'s nation-state-ending global socialism plan. The Obama Foundation now operates as the American analog to the WEF's Young Global Leaders program, dispatching "global fellows" into elections abroad.
Why is the DSA at 120,000 members considered a threat?
Because that number surpasses Eugene Debs' Socialist Party at its 1912 peak — an organization that was later banned under the Communist Control Act. Every DSA member shows up to primaries. They coordinate with Indivisible. They recruit in high school. They already control New York City. That is what "largest in American history" translates to on the ground.
What can one person actually do about all this?
Buy and read Infiltration Instead of Invasion. Verify the bibliography at themelkeshow.com. Show up to your school board and county meetings. Support the FOIA litigation against Biden-era censorship. Homeschool if you can and defend the right to homeschool. Have real conversations in person, not online. Support Florida's impeachment model in your own state. Show up to primaries the way the DSA does.
