(Alt-Market)—In the wake of Donald Trump’s return to the White House there has been an atmosphere of palpable panic among the usual suspects. Establishment bureaucrats are screaming bloody murder in aisles like spoiled toddlers at Walmart after being told they’re not going to get whatever they want from the American taxpayer. These people are long overdue for a spanking and a nap.
Elon Musk’s DOGE group has wasted no time in pursuing total transparency of the federal government’s funding operations and I have to say, the reaction from the leftist establishment is even more unhinged than I could have imagined. In the past week, Democrats and activist judges have actually attempted to stop the new head of the Treasury Department, Scott Bessent, from accessing funding allocation records. In other words, the person in charge of the Treasury is not allowed to investigate how the Treasury is spending American tax dollars.
The temporary freeze on access is in response to lawsuits from 19 Democrat controlled states that are seeking to slow down DOGE efforts. Democrats have recently labeled the DOGE mission an “authoritarian rampage” through the federal government.
What I want people to to do is consider for a moment how truly insane this is. The Trump Administration, duly advanced to the Oval Office by the electoral college and the majority of American voters, ran on a campaign platform of government transparency and efficiency. The public put Trump in office because they WANT an accounting of government activities and overreach. Democrats have said “no”, the public isn’t allowed to get the reform they voted for. Democracy indeed.
In my view these judicial orders should be ignored; they serve no purpose other than to protect corruption. What DOGE is pursuing is essentially an audit of federal operations, something which is supposed to be a normal occurrence anyway. It has not been done properly in generations, and now we know why.
Democrats claim that to undertake such an audit (an audit that the American populace wants) is “authoritarian”. As I’ve noted over the years, the political left and the globalists often brandish words like “democracy” as a weapon against their opponents, but they have never and will never actually respect the will of the people or even the will of the majority they claim to worship.
The bottom line is, they despise you. They see you as a sacrificial beast of burden, a useful tool for achieving their Utopian aspirations. And if they find that you aren’t beneficial to their new world vision then you’re treated as an enemy to be suppressed or disposed of.
They are Fabian Socialists; elitists with delusions of grandeur. They believe themselves to be leaders by birthright – Philosopher kings genetically predisposed to manage civilization. The rest of us are mere peons too ignorant to understand why total centralization and total secrecy are “essential” for society to progress. Every terrible thing they do is for our benefit. Our slavery is for our benefit. At least, that’s the underlying message the leftists are promoting.
As noted, it sounds insane when you break down the issue into its uglier parts. The claim that the Trump Administration, backed by the American public, is participating in an “act of tyranny” because they’re auditing the government is mind boggling. How many Americans every year are terrorized by audits executed by the government? And the feds can’t handle one audit of their own without screaming “fascism”? But if you think about the stakes involved, the frothing desperation of establishment officials makes a lot more sense.
The audit of USAID has so far uncovered billions in mismanaged dollars, billions in payoffs for various corporate media entities, billions to NGOs working against American interests at home and abroad, billions in woke propaganda programs and billions in lost tax dollars spent on items that make little to no sense (unless you consider the possibility that the cash is being secretly funneled to covert projects).
As I write this DOGE is beginning to delve into FEMA, Social Security, Medicaid and the Defense Department. The level of corruption that they will uncover in each of these institutions will easily dwarf everything they found in USAID. Just wait until they try to audit the Federal Reserve and watch the chaos unfold.
These revelations are not really all that shocking to those of us in the Liberty Movement and alternative economics. We’ve been warning about this for many years. However, they do expose a fundamental disconnect in how our culture views and interacts with government. We’re suffering from a mass Stockholm Syndrome that needs to be addressed.
Over the past century in particular, Americans have forgotten that our forefathers fought and died to free our nation from feudalism and the mentality that the common man is beholden to the whims of an elitist oligarchy. Rather, the founders flipped this ancient system of control on its head and asserted, that by the hand of God and natural law, the individual is endowed with inalienable rights – That the government should be a servant to the people rather than the people being servants to government.
This way of thinking about the structure of human society is new and rare in the annals of history. Tyranny has been the norm for thousands of years. Freedom was a privilege of the wealthy; transparency and accountability for the ruling class were almost unheard of.
The ultimate goal of the leftist/globalist apparatus is to drag the western world back into the dark ages of feudal control, all while regaling us with futurist fantasies of “progress”. Freedom (with responsibility and wisdom) is progress. Globalism is the opposite of freedom and the opposite of progress.
When the political left sees an audit of the apparatus they have spent a century constructing, what they see is the end of their totalitarian dreams. Why? Because evil cannot survive in sunlight, evil requires the protection of the dark. An authoritarian system or technocracy cannot survive if it faces constant scrutiny from the population it means to dominate.
The elites must be able to steal from the public at will. They must be able to redistribute that wealth to whatever mechanisms they wish without oversight. They must be able to use our labor and our money against us. Remember, these people are a tiny minority; they have no power without the ability to corrupt the structures that society relies on.
If the government and the bureaucrats within it come under surveillance, their power disappears. This is what DOGE is doing – They’re putting a CCTV camera in the face of the functionaries and making them behave. Lack of oversight has created a cancer upon our nation. This network of extra-governmental institutions (like USAID) and NGOs is where the real power in America rests. The public can vote however they want but nothing changes because the apparatus and their influence remain regardless of who is elected.
At what point did it become acceptable for the feds to spy on the people while never facing any judgment themselves? At what point did it become an act of treason to check the hard drives and bank accounts of the regime and make sure they aren’t up to something nefarious?
It is time for this archaic form of governance to end. It’s time to do away with feudal tyranny and move on to a better future where total transparency of government is the norm. It should not be a revolutionary act to audit the system, it should be expected. The actions of DOGE should be permanently engraved as a standard of western civilization.
If humanity ever hopes to move on to something better; to defeat poverty, to diminish criminality, to live morally, to master our personal weaknesses, to pursue merit, to grow as a species and increase our understanding of the universe around us, we must first be honest about who we are and where we can improve. This effort begins in only one way: By forcing the political elites to learn humility. Today, the people DO NOT have the government they deserve and the fish rots from the head down.
If governments can be humbled, then maybe we as a species have a chance to survive and rise to greater aspirations. If not, then we will remain trapped, hosts to a parasitic organism that uses our own blood and sweat to destroy us. We will struggle daily to fulfill the narcissistic dreams of entitled and power hungry psychopaths who think they own us. We will never know peace.

Safeguarding Your American Dream: Discover the Power of America First Healthcare
In today’s economy, healthcare costs remain one of the biggest threats to financial stability and family security. Americans work hard to build a better life, yet rising medical expenses can quickly erode savings, force tough trade-offs, and even push families toward debt or bankruptcy. Medical bills continue to rank as the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the United States, with millions facing underinsurance or unexpected out-of-pocket burdens that no one plans for. Many turn to government-run marketplace plans under the Affordable Care Act, hoping for relief, only to discover that what appears affordable on paper often delivers higher long-term costs, limited real protection, and coverage that may not align with personal values or family needs.
America First Healthcare stands out as a private insurance agency dedicated to helping conservatives and families secure better coverage and better rates through customized, values-aligned options. By conducting free insurance reviews, the agency uncovers hidden gaps in existing policies and connects clients with private alternatives that emphasize personal responsibility, small-government principles, and genuine affordability—often delivering up to 20% savings while providing stronger protection for the American Dream.
The allure of marketplace plans is easy to understand: open enrollment periods, premium tax credits for many households, and the promise of “comprehensive” benefits mandated by law. Yet recent data reveals a different reality, especially after the expiration of enhanced premium subsidies at the end of 2025. Enrollment for 2026 dropped by more than one million people compared to the prior year, with many shifting to lower-tier bronze plans to keep monthly premiums manageable.
These plans feature significantly higher deductibles—averaging around $7,500 nationally—and greater cost-sharing requirements. Families who once paid modest amounts after subsidies now face average premium increases of $65 or more per month, even as they accept plans that leave them responsible for thousands in upfront costs before meaningful coverage kicks in.
High deductibles create a dangerous barrier to care. Studies show that people in such plans are less likely to seek timely treatment for chronic conditions, attend preventive screenings, or fill necessary prescriptions. A seemingly minor illness or injury can balloon into major expenses when patients delay care until problems worsen. For a family of four, a single hospitalization, cancer diagnosis, or unexpected surgery can easily exceed the deductible, triggering coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximums that still leave substantial bills. One recent analysis noted that some proposed changes could push family deductibles toward $31,000 in future years, further exposing households to financial risk.
Beyond the numbers, marketplace plans often carry structural limitations. Coverage for certain critical services may include waiting periods or narrower networks that restrict access to preferred doctors and specialists. Preventive care is required to be covered without cost-sharing, but everything else—lab work, imaging, specialist visits, or ongoing treatment—typically waits until the deductible is met. This reactive model contrasts sharply with the proactive, holistic approach many families prefer, especially those focused on wellness, early intervention, and maintaining health to enjoy life rather than merely reacting to illness.
Values alignment represents another growing concern. Government-influenced plans operate within a framework shaped by federal mandates and political priorities that may not reflect conservative principles of limited government, personal freedom, and ethical stewardship. Families who want to direct their healthcare dollars toward providers and benefits that honor traditional values sometimes find marketplace options feel misaligned, forcing a compromise between affordability and conviction.
Private alternatives, by contrast, offer year-round flexibility without the restrictions of open enrollment windows. Independent agents can shop across a wider range of carriers to design plans tailored to specific family needs—whether that means lower deductibles for frequent medical users, broader provider networks, or add-ons that support wellness and preventive services from day one. Clients frequently report more stable premiums that do not automatically escalate each year, along with genuine cost savings once the full picture of deductibles, copays, and coverage depth is considered.
Take the experience of real families who made the switch. Amanda C. shared that her new plan felt “way better” than what she had through the marketplace. Johnny Y. noted his previous coverage kept increasing annually until he found a more stable private option. Sofia S. expressed delight with her plan and began recommending it to others. These stories echo a common theme: when families move beyond one-size-fits-all government marketplaces, they often discover customized protection that better safeguards both health and finances.
Founder Jordan Sarmiento’s own journey underscores the stakes. In 2021, a six-day hospitalization generated a $95,000 bill. Under a well-structured private “Conservative Care Coverage” plan, his out-of-pocket responsibility would have been just $500. That stark difference illustrates how thoughtful planning and private options can prevent a medical event from becoming a financial catastrophe.
Practical steps exist for anyone questioning their current coverage. Start with a no-obligation review of your existing policy to identify gaps—high deductibles, limited critical-care benefits, or escalating premiums. Compare total projected costs (premiums plus potential out-of-pocket expenses) rather than monthly premiums alone. Consider family health history, anticipated needs, and lifestyle priorities. Private agencies can present side-by-side options that include stronger wellness incentives, broader access, and plans built on shared values of self-reliance and freedom.
In an era when healthcare inflation continues to outpace general cost-of-living increases, relying solely on marketplace solutions carries growing risk. Families who proactively explore private alternatives frequently achieve meaningful savings while gaining peace of mind that their coverage truly works when needed most.
America First Healthcare makes this exploration straightforward through its free review process. Families and individuals receive personalized guidance to close coverage holes, reduce unnecessary expenses, and secure plans that align with conservative principles—protecting wallets, health, and the American Dream without government overreach. Many who complete a review discover they can enjoy better benefits for less, often saving up to 20% while gaining the customization and stability that marketplace plans struggle to deliver.
Ultimately, protecting your family’s future requires looking beyond the marketing of “affordable” government options. By understanding the long-term costs hidden in high deductibles, shifting coverage tiers, and values mismatches, Americans can make empowered choices. Private, values-driven insurance offers a smarter path—one that rewards diligence, supports wellness, and delivers real security. For those ready to move beyond the limitations of traditional marketplace plans, a simple review can reveal options designed to serve families, not bureaucracies. The American Dream thrives when individuals and families retain control over their healthcare decisions, and thoughtful private coverage plays a vital role in making that possible.
