Nothing should give more hope for meaningful change than Donald Trump’s decision, widely reported last night, to revoke the security clearances of 51 former senior intelligence officials who used their position to deceive the American people in the run-up to the 2020 election. Their act was the very definition of “disinformation” and “election interference”.
To many, suspending their clearances will seem like a no-brainer. In Washington, it’s an earthquake.
But that bears some explaining.
Sixteen years ago, Barack Obama promised two things: (1) hope and change, toward (2) a “fundamental transformation” of America. He succeeded. He just didn’t finish the job.

Let me tell you why this matters SO MUCH. These aren’t just random bureaucrats – they’re the REAL power players in DC who never truly “retire.”
They keep their clearances. They go on CNN. They shape narratives.

🚨 This is the Deep State’s playbook:
– Claim special knowledge
– Push false narratives
– Interfere in elections
– Blackmail and jail opponents
– Face zero consequencesUntil now.

🔑 Key point: This isn’t just about clearances. It’s about BREAKING the permanent power structure that’s been controlling our country from behind the scenes.

The REAL revolution isn’t just about elections – it’s about dismantling this unelected power structure that thinks it can override the will of American voters.

But Trump’s doing it anyway. That’s why this is different.
That’s why this matters. This isn’t just politics. This is war against the Deep State.

🎯 Make no mistake: This is a direct shot at the heart of the administrative state. It’s telling the “permanent government” they’re not so permanent after all.
