I hesitated to add another substack to my Read & $upport list, but he just made it under the wire! His analysis continues to meet & surpass my expectations.

Greg Bovino being pushed out of Minneapolis and expected to return to the El Centro sector isn’t “accountability.” It’s the system doing what it always does when a civilian is killed: remove one visible face so the machine behind him never has to answer.
A nurse is dead, and now the official story is colliding with what’s visible on the body‑cam video, yet the same border–ICE–DHS apparatus that armed and deployed these teams keeps rolling on. If that hits you in the gut, you’re exactly who I wrote my latest piece for.
I just mapped how Trump’s 2024 win cracked open this “untouchable” security bureaucracy—the same mentality that put Bovino in charge in Minneapolis—and turned the election into voters vs a permanent enforcement state. The full classified‑style briefing (system map, 2016–2024 playbook, and what comes after Bovino) is in a 15‑page annex for $1, for people who never want to walk into another Border Patrol / ICE debate unarmed.
This article may have some accuracies in it, but none of them address the fact that Trump hasn’t delivered on most of his promises - the reason why his approval rate is extremely low. Did he make those promises in good faith? Some of them were quite fantastical, such as ‘stopping all wars on Day 1’ etc. But people ‘wanted to believe’. 🙄
Fair point—and this is where my argument actually gets harder, not easier.
Trump's approval is low because he promised to "drain the swamp" and the swamp is still there. His promises on wars, deportations, and structural reform have all hit the Deep State resistance he said he'd break. That's not a contradiction of my thesis; it's proof of it.
Here's the distinction: I'm not arguing Trump will deliver. I'm arguing that he named what most people couldn't see before—that there's a permanent system blocking elected leadership from actually governing. That's the real victory of 2024, not "he fixed inflation" or "he ended wars."
The low approval reflects something harder to swallow: naming the problem is easier than solving it. The Deep State didn't disappear because voters rejected it once. It adapted. It's still there.
That's actually why the $1 briefing matters. Because if you understand how deeply embedded this system is—how it survived FDR, survived Vietnam hearings, survived every reform attempt—then you stop waiting for one leader to "deliver" and start asking what would actually break the machinery.
Trump cracked it open. But keeping it broken requires understanding its architecture.
You're right to be skeptical about promises. Channel that skepticism toward the system itself.
You're one of the best writers on Substack.
His analysis covers the big picture & exposes the societal & philosophical roots of the problems, as well as political - I appreciate that.
Yes! He deserves a larger audience for all his Substack publications.

‘A lie can travel around the world while the Truth is still typing up its shoelaces’.
Wonderful that Minneapolis’ ‘weapons’ were truth via video.
Terrible that FOX ‘news’ still splices & dices.
— I’ve read that their hosts actually get PAID MORE for LIES, and ‘fined’ if they speak the truth.
So if the ghastly Murdoch ‘news’ empire has the WSJ & NY Post decrying the ICE/BCP tactics then why is their (?) sister network perpetuating the lies?
— and why is Fox ‘news’ still blaring 24/7 at military quarters?
