The Department of Government Efficiency (doge) is the best thing that has happened for United States’ political transparency in decades. Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle were preparing to pass a 1,547-page congressional spending bill that would have raised pay for Congress, expanded Global Engagement Center censorship activities, and funded 12 new gain-of-function research biolabs. Lawmakers had three days to review this bill, so tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, a coleader of doge, unleashed a flurry of posts on his social media platform X deriding the pork-laden bill as a national travesty.

Musk urged his followers to call their representatives and demand they “stop the steal of your tax dollars.” Musk’s followers responded, and Congress slashed the 1,547-page bill down to 116 pages. The truncated bill failed to pass when 38 Republicans and 197 Democrats voted against it. Congress still managed to avert a government shutdown by passing a stripped-down package that funds the government at current levels until mid-March. However, establishment politicians are furious with Musk for speaking against the original bill.

Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman criticized Musk for exerting such influence. “It’s one thing when you have Donald Trump governing by tweet, as he did in his first term, where he was in communication with Congress,” he told cnn on December 18. “But now you have Elon Musk, an unelected oligarch, governing by tweet.”

Goldman’s statement reveals the utter contempt many congressmen have for the American people. Musk is not a member of Congress: He did not vote down the spending bill himself. He alerted the American people to what was in the 1,547-page bill, and the people called their elected representatives to tell them they didn’t want to go into debt paying the government to censor their thoughts and opinions.

The tagline of doge’s social media account is “The people voted for major reform.” More than 77 million Americans voted for a president who wants to “drain the swamp.” Musk is raising awareness about what the government is spending money on. It is now up to the people to green-light this spending or stop it, and many politicians and career bureaucrats hate this fact.

The Bible says people love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil (John 3:19). This is certainly true in this case. Americans don’t want organizations like the Global Engagement Center censoring their speech, so politicians have to sneak this organization’s funding into a bill no one has time to read. Musk is discussing developing artificial intelligence algorithms to summarize omnibus bills in bullet point lists. Politicians like Goldman hate him for it. They want Americans to remain in the dark.

James Madison, the primary author of the United States Constitution, wrote:

It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today can guess what it will be tomorrow.

Yet this is exactly what congressmen like Dan Goldman want—a law so voluminous it cannot be read. The fact that Musk has to consider AI to summarize omnibus bills shows Congress is not doing its job. Therefore, the American people will have to improvise.

Another reason the political establishment is so concerned about how Musk uses X is that many American intelligence agents know that X (formerly Twitter) was used to topple regimes in the past.

Both Facebook and Twitter played an important role in the Egyptian revolution that brought down President Hosni Mubarak in 2011. “We use Facebook to schedule the protests and Twitter to coordinate and YouTube to tell the world,” one activist told the Pacific Standard. The Obama administration supported these Egyptian protesters, and Mark Bradman at the Conservative Treehouse noted that “partnership between the U.S. government and Big Tech was essentially designed as a purposeful oligarchical system.” On Dec. 20, 2022, Bradman wrote:

The Obama administration first created the public-private partnership with Twitter and Facebook to support the “Arab Spring” uprising.

As a consequence, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was the first elected official to be taken out by former President Obama’s deployment of Twitter as a community activist tool for revolution in 2011. In direct and consequential ways, Egypt was the beta test for a process that surfaced a decade later in the United States during the 2020 election.

Now that Elon Musk owns X, the social media engineers who used Twitter to promote regime change in Egypt must be nervous that the “Make America Great Again” movement could use it to promote regime change here at home. The political establishment wants to hide its unpopular policies in omnibus bills, but the people can “use Twitter to coordinate and YouTube to tell the world.” America desperately needs transparency.

In the August 2019 issue of the Philadelphia Trumpet, editor in chief Gerald Flurry forecast that Mr. Trump would defeat the “deep state” and get control over his divided government. He further explained that Mr. Trump is an end-time type of the ancient Israelite King Jeroboam ii, and he pointed to Amos 7:12-13, which say that Mr. Trump will be supported by a religious movement called the “king’s chapel” and a secular government entity called the “king’s court” or “kingdom’s court.”

In “Can President Trump Get Control of His Own Divided Government?” Mr. Flurry wrote:

In Washington, D.C., is the Supreme Court building, where judges are to interpret the law. In the same area are buildings for the cia, the fbi, the Justice Department, the State Department, the Pentagon and others. Most of them were built during and after the Great Depression, when they had a lot of manpower to use, so they built some truly impressive structures for the government.

It is logical this prophecy is talking about these government structures, or agencies. After all, if Jeroboam is going to be used to save Israel, he would need the law on his side. He wouldn’t be able to use the government like he needed to without the legal structure behind him.

The reason Mr. Trump wasn’t more successful during his first term was that he was not able to get control over his administration. He was optimistic that Bill Barr and others could reform the Justice Department, yet they surrendered to the army of bureaucrats who run Washington. Mr. Trump seems to have learned a lesson: He will never tame the leviathan that has taken over the government—so he must destroy it.

Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter allows the maga movement to network, and it could help Trump kill omnibus spending bills and weaken the deep state.

America is waking up to the fact that it must balance its budget and shrink its government. Yet the resurgence brought about by Mr. Trump will only be temporary unless people make permanent changes. President Trump is working to restore the “basic idea that the people we elect run the government,” but the character of the American people must improve to halt America’s collapse.
