Will closing the Department of Ed, USAID, and other agencies actually lead to less government intrusion in our lives? Or will they be replaced by something more sinister?<\/h3>\n

Leo Hohmann \u2013 leohohmann.com Feb 5, 2025<\/strong><\/h1>\n

If we listen to the conservative press, billionaire globalist technocrat\u00a0Bill Gates<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is in \u201cpanic mode,\u201d making the rounds in the corporate media to push back against Elon Musk\u2019s latest cost-cutting move, folding USAID into the U.S. State Department. But is Gates, who seems to have President Trump\u2019s ear, really all that worried?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been widely reported that the shake-up would give Secretary of State Marco Rubio oversight of the agency, a scenario that could put an end to USAID\u2019s lucrative funding pipeline for Gates\u2019 pet projects.<\/p>\n

Appearing on\u00a0NBC\u2019s Today Show<\/a><\/strong>, Gates insisted that USAID\u2019s work is not at all politically motivated.<\/p>\n

\u201cElon doesn\u2019t understand the importance of USAID\u2019s mission,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s about global development, not politics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Global development? Now that\u2019s something that is music to President Trump\u2019s ears.<\/p>\n

While Gates may be concerned that he is going to lose some government funding, he can make it up elsewhere, no problem. And Gates\u2019 Microsoft AI juggernaut is already listed as one of the beneficiaries of Trump\u2019s Stargate <\/strong>project to blanket America with massive AI data-collection centers.<\/p>\n

Gates, contrary to what many conservatives believe, is not on the outside looking in. As a billionaire technocrat, Gates is already part of the \u201cin\u201d crowd with this White House. He requested a meeting with the new president a few weeks ago and he got what he wanted, three and a half hours with Trump. His AI partner, Sam Altman of ChatGPT, then surfaced a few days later as one of Trump\u2019s main partners in Stargate.<\/p>\n

Trump, if we\u2019ve learned anything from his first two weeks in office, is attracted to technocrats and billionaires. He likes to build things and he likes to be seen as on the cutting edge.<\/p>\n

Trump, like his biggest billionaire technocrat backer, Peter Thiel, also prides himself in being a \u201c<\/strong>disrupter<\/strong><\/em>.\u201d<\/strong> While some amount of disruption may be needed in a country as wayward as the United States, too much disruption delivered too quickly will simply plunge the nation into chaos. And chaos can then be exploited by the very globalists Trump says he is against. If Trump ends up declaring martial law to rein in protests, the globalists get their way with him again. Just like they did in his first term with Covid lockdowns.<\/p>\n

While I fully support the idea of reducing the government\u2019s bloated footprint on our lives, we\u2019d better be careful what we wish for. What if entire government agencies are shuttered, not to reduce the size and scope of government authority, but to replace that authority with a more efficient AI-driven surveillance system?<\/p>\n

Who needs 2 million federal employees if AI is on the cusp of taking over their duties anyway? A government run by algorithm could be so terrifyingly efficient in its tyranny that we will one day wish we could bring back those old inefficient and incompetent bureaucrats.<\/p>\n

Some of Trump\u2019s policies also fly in the face of his campaign promises and appear more globalist than \u201cAmerica first.\u201d<\/p>\n

For example, Trump came out this week and said he will\u00a0continue U.S. funding of the war in Ukraine<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>as long as the U.S. can lay claim to Ukraine\u2019s rare-earth minerals. So, the same bloody war he said on the campaign trail he would end within the first 24 hours of his presidency, he now wants to keep going, under the condition that the U.S. gets to take a spoil.<\/p>\n

Also, Trump\u2019s Feb. 4 announcement with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu regarding the U.S. \u201ctaking over\u201d Gaza is loaded with unanswered questions and fraught with risks. \u201cWe\u2019ll own it,\u201d Trump said<\/p>\n
