Investigating Criminal Subversion Must Take Priority over Fiscal Efficiency
The part of the federal bureaucracy known as the deep state is the globalist international cabal’s principal weapon to impose a dictatorship on the United States. The enemy within is attacking on all fronts, as President Donald Trump’s efforts to rein in the federal bureaucracy. That includes RINOs trying to save the subversive USAID.
An April 10 statement (the Statement) from 25 Guatemalan organizations representing half that country’s population explains how the deep state is undermining Trump abroad. Heightened awareness of State Department (DOS) and USAID crimes and treason, brazenly on display in Guatemala, would help establish the need for aggressive action to dismantle the deep state. The Statement, called a March 25 DOS certification, alleges collusion between deep-state/cabal actors and Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo.
Arévalo—fraudulently imposed by DOS in 2023—cited the false certification attributed to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, possibly without his knowledge. Arévalo’s press secretary congratulated Rubio for recognizing Arévalo’s efforts “to recover justice, promote development, and provide security.” The Statement rejected everything the certification said about Arévalo’s regime and stated that “Rubio likely knows nothing about the certification.”
The deceptive certification of Arévalo’s government continues the treason that was par for the course under the Joe Biden regime. Although published in the Federal Register on April 2, those releasing it apparently just changed the date and a few minor elements and reposted the previous certification (August 8, 2024) under Rubio’s name.
As the Statement shows, the phony certification tells Guatemalans that the regime’s criminal imposition on them is continuing under Trump. There was also a March report from DOS’s International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Bureau that falsely portrayed Arévalo’s regime as a US ally.
US officials responsible for undermining Trump’s America-first agenda apparently think nobody at home, especially Trump, will notice and act against them. The Statement called on Rubio “to address this report and the certification.”
DOS has intimidated Guatemalans, especially its judges, into not applying the law to Arévalo. Arévalo and his vice president should not have been inaugurated, and they would have been removed if the law had been properly applied.
Arévalo’s Semilla political party was canceled for registration fraud, after the Attorney General’s Office proved more than 8,000 affiliations (one-third of the total to achieve registration) were fraudulent. Two million out of 5.6 million votes are missing, more than the legal threshold to annul the June 25, 2023, election.
DOS officials repeatedly and falsely attacked Attorney General (AG) Consuelo Porras as lacking jurisdiction over electoral affairs. Guatemala’s constitution, penal code, and electoral law, however, clearly assign exclusive jurisdiction over electoral crimes to the AG.
There has been continuous DOS praise and support for Arévalo. His efforts to unconstitutionally remove Porras as AG caused her to file a May 5, 2024, petition with the Constitutional Court (CC), the last word on judicial matters. Not acting on Arévalo’s blatantly illegal actions would have exposed the CC as acting on DOS’s behalf. The CC ordered Arévalo on May 7 to cease his actions against Porras.
After Arévalo continued his attacks, the CC ignored Porras’s petition to take action that should have led to Arévalo’s removal from office for violating its order.
Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his Assistant Secretary Brian Nichols each testified in Congress in May and June 2024, respectively, about Guatemala. They confirmed that DOS officials had extorted Guatemalan congressmen to vote for a law intended to permit Arévalo to remove Porras from her post.
The foreign-affairs committee chairman did not follow through regarding DOS criminal activity in Guatemala. It is more extensive than what Blinken and Nichols described. This inaction fits a pattern of Congress failing to perform its constitutional oversight role and giving DOS a pass.
The Biden regime purposely flooded our country with illegal immigrants and drugs. It and DOS imposed Arévalo as part of this agenda, and to hide their past crimes in Guatemala. Guatemalan resistance resulted in more blatant DOS treason than in other places.
Having common cause with the globalist cabal, the Washington, DC, establishment—the military-industrial complex and social engineering elites—dominates our government and institutions. It relies on DOS to support the unnecessary wars that Trump has promised to avoid.
Trump’s administration must follow through and investigate DOS criminality and push Congress to do the same. Concentrating on efficiency will not bring the State Department into line with the America-first agenda, while investigating DOS criminality in Guatemala would snowball to other countries. It would energize Trump’s anti-cabal efforts, increasing the probability of the MAGA agenda’s success.
