I thought the election theft was to cover the DS criminals, but it could also have been to save the 4th branch (Administrative)
From the article:
The administrative state for the better part of a century, and really dating back to the Pendleton Act of 1883, has designed policy, made policy, structured policy, implemented policy, and interpreted policy while operating outside the control of Congress, the president, and the judiciary.
The gradual rise of this 4th branch of government – which is very much the most powerful branch – has reduced the American political process to mere theater as compared with the real activity of government, which rests with the permanent bureaucracy.
Any new president can hire the heads of agencies and they can hire staff, which are known as political appointees. These 4,000 political appointees ostensibly rule 432 agencies (as listed by the Federal Register) as well as some 2.9 million employees (aside from the military and postal service) that effectively inhibit permanent jobs. This permanent state – sometimes called the deep state – knows the ropes and the processes of government far better than any temporary political appointee, thus reducing the appointed jobs to cosmetic positions for the press to hound while the real actions of government take place behind the scenes.
From 2020 and onward, the American people got to know this administrative state well. They ordered us to wear masks. They deployed their influence to close small businesses and churches. They limited how many people we could have in our homes. They festooned our businesses with plexiglass and told everyone to stay six-feet apart. They demanded two weeks of quarantine when crossing state borders. They decided which medical procedures were elective and non-elective. And they finally demanded compliance with vaccine mandates at the penalty of job loss.
None of this was ordered by legislation. It was all invented on the spot by the permanent staff of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We had no idea they had such power. But they do. And that same power which allowed those egregious attacks on rights and liberties also belongs to the Food and Drug Administration, the Department of Labor, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Homeland Security, and all the rest.
Donald Trump came into office with the promise of draining the swamp, without understanding entirely what that meant. He gradually came to realize that he had no control over most of the affairs of government, not because he had no patience for the legislative process but because he had no ability to terminate the employment of most of the civilian bureaucracy. Nor could his political appointees control it. The media, he gradually came to realize, echoed the priorities and concerns of this administrative state due to long-established relationships that led to nonstop leaks that spread false information.
In May of 2018, he took his first steps to gain some modicum of control over this deep state. He issued three executive orders (E.O. 13837, E.O. 13836, and E.O.13839) that would have diminished their access to labor-union protection when being pressed on the terms of their employment. Those three orders were litigated by the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and sixteen other federal labor unions.
All three were struck down with a decision by a DC District Court. The presiding judge was Ketanji Brown Jackson, who was later rewarded for her decision with a nomination to the Supreme Court, which was affirmed by the US Senate. The prevailing and openly stated reason for her nomination was said to be mostly demographic: she would be the first black woman on the Court. The deeper reason was more likely traceable to her role in thwarting actions by Trump which had begun the process of upending the administrative state. Jackson’s judgment was later reversed but Trump’s actions were embroiled in a juridical tangle that rendered them moot.
Following the lockdowns of mid-March 2020, Trump became increasingly frustrated with the CDC and Anthony Fauci in particular. Trump was profoundly aware that he had no power to fire the man, despite his epicly terrible role in prolonging Covid lockdowns long after Trump wanted to open up to save the American economy and society.
Trump’s next step was radical and brilliant: the creation of a new category of federal employment. It was called Schedule F.
Employees of the federal government classified as Schedule F would have been subject to control by the elected president and other representatives. Who are they? They are those who met the following criteria:
Positions of a confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating character not normally subject to change as a result of a Presidential transition shall be listed in Schedule F. In appointing an individual to a position in Schedule F, each agency shall follow the principle of veteran preference as far as administratively feasible.
Schedule F employees would be fired. “You’re fired” was the slogan that made Trump TV famous. With this order, he would be in a position to do the same to the federal bureaucracy. The order further demanded a thorough review throughout the government.
Each head of an executive agency (as defined in section 105 of title 5, United States Code, but excluding the Government Accountability Office) shall conduct, within 90 days of the date of this order, a preliminary review of agency positions covered by subchapter II of chapter 75 of title 5, United States Code, and shall conduct a complete review of such positions within 210 days of the date of this order.
The Washington Post in an editorial expressed absolute shock and alarm at the implications:
The directive from the White House, issued late Wednesday, sounds technical: creating a new “Schedule F” within the “excepted service” of the federal government for employees in policymaking roles, and directing agencies to determine who qualifies. Its implications, however, are profound and alarming. It gives those in power the authority to fire more or less at will as many as tens of thousands of workers currently in the competitive civil service, from managers to lawyers to economists to, yes, scientists. This week’s order is a major salvo in the president’s onslaught against the cadre of dedicated civil servants whom he calls the “deep state” — and who are really the greatest strength of the U.S. government.
Ninety days after October 21, 2020 would have been January 19, 2021, the day before the new president was to be inaugurated. The Washington Post commented ominously: “Mr. Trump will try to realize his sad vision in his second term, unless voters are wise enough to stop him.”
Biden was declared the winner due mostly to mail-in ballots.
On January 21, 2021, the day after inauguration, Biden reversed the order. It was one of his first actions as president. No wonder, because, as The Hill reported, this executive order would have been “the biggest change to federal workforce protections in a century, converting many federal workers to ‘at will’ employment.”
How many federal workers in agencies would have been newly classified at Schedule F? We do not know because only one completed the review before their jobs were saved by the election result. The one that did was the Congressional Budget Office. Its conclusion: fully 88% of employees would have been newly classified as Schedule F, thus allowing the president to terminate their employment.
This would have been a revolutionary change, a complete remake of Washington, DC, and all politics as usual.
Trump’s EO 13957 was a dagger aimed directly at the heart of the beast. It might have worked.
It would have gotten us closer to the restoration of a Constitutional system of government in which we have 3 – not 4 – branches of government that are wholly controlled by the people’s representatives. It would have gone a long way toward gutting the administrative state of its power and returning the affairs of state to the people’s control.
The action was stopped dead due to the election results.
Whatever one’s view of Trump, one has to admire the brilliance of this executive order. It shows that Trump had come to understand the problem and actually innovate a fundamental solution, or at least the beginnings of one. The “deep state” as we’ve come to know it would have been curbed, and we would have taken a step toward recreating the system that existed before the Pendleton Act of 1883.
Many efforts have been deployed through the years to regain constitutional control over the permanent bureaucracy. An example is the Hatch Act of 1939 which forbids employees of the government to work for political campaigns. That act turned out to be toothless – one does not need to work for a campaign in order to skew one’s labor in the direction of always granting the federal government more power and control – and largely made irrelevant in the succeeding decades.
Trump came to office promising to drain the swamp but it was very late in his term before he figured out the means at his disposal to do just that. His final effort took place merely two weeks before the election that was decided in favor of his opponent Biden, who quickly reversed this action just two days following the deadline of an ordered review that would have reclassified, and thus gained control over, a sizable portion of the administrative state.
With Executive Order 12003 (“Protecting the Federal Workforce”), Biden saved the deep state’s bacon, leaving the efforts finally to drain the swamp to another day and another president.

Senior Executive Service….DS hacks that can never be fired. Biden's block is Nullified when election theft is proven.
Exactly, fraud vitiates everything. It showed another possibility for the fraud.
The devolution folder probably has 2M+ pink slips in it, and hopefully over 100K noose orders.
This pretty much describes how the once great state of California, truly a golden state with high incomes, free highways and bridges, highly ranked school systems, universities and rich agriculture, with a diverse set of natural resources, got trashed. Back in the 70's under Governor Brown, the state went from "public sector unions are illegal" to unionizing nearly all government positions. Elected officials, and the public at large, slowly but surely lost control, as accountability and needed reforms were slow-rolled and ignored, and the servants gradually became the masters and now the tyrants. The public sector is responsible for nearly 50% of all economic activity now. (That comes with a big disclaimer: includes fed, and lots of private companies that are indirectly funded by grants and other government allotments.)
Today, even the freeways often charge tolls, and Zootopia has a better DMV than California. Just like the inability of evicting non-paying renters means your property is no longer your own, the inability to fire public workers creates the swamp, and means the government and the laws no longer represent the people.
As a Californian I've fought this over the years, yet watching the creeping transformation despite the occasional victory.
I thank all the red-staters for keeping an eye on the federal government, you've helped slow the creep, keeping the feds from falling as far as our state has.
Couple of things:
(1) It is simply not true that there is an "administrative branch" that is somehow independent of the Executive Branch. It is nonsensical and not how the American system is set up. They are all employees of the Executive Branch. 100% of the power of the Executive Branch is vested in the office of the President. He has the power to fire anyone he wants to fire, for any reason. There is no court case or contract that can override that power, because it is a power created by the Constitution itself.
These bureaucrats who have been hired and are refusing to uphold their oaths of office and do what they are lawfully required to do should all be fired, as is within the power of the president (when Trump gets back in).
(2) This whole appointment and confirmation of that looney tunes justice, Jackson, is a VERY big problem.
The CLAIM was that Breyer was going to retire, so they wanted a replacement. But guess what? He did not retire. What if someone ELSE on the court is no longer on the court (death, retirement, whatever)? It could completely reverse the political power of the court (not that it is supposed to be political, but let's get real).
Jackson is just waiting in the wings to flip the script.
This is a BIG problem. Just sitting out there that nobody is talking about.
Is she ONLY eligible for Breyer's seat, or ANY seat? What if they can get extras onto the court? Would she be next up?
Biden is not a duly elected president, so any appointments he has made are not valid, including Jackson. Some of the senators might also not be validly elected.
But what happens if they pretend she is the "next up" for any vacant seat, and everyone just goes along with it?
Can you imagine a better scenario for the black hats than to get these recent SCOTUS rulings, only to then have the court flipped, with a person who is dumb and corrupt as Jackson, and not appointed by a lawfully-elected president?
Not a pretty thought.
I've been thinking about the whole Breyer thing myself.

doesn't add up
We aren’t privy to all the moves yet. It a picture of what could be happening behind the scenes. Trump’s EO are legit, Biden’s are not
I agree. That eo was signed in 1977 though.
Didn't biden annihilate it his first week?
Yes but can his EO stand when fraud vitiates everything
Well that's a good point. I would certainly think so!
Trump knew what he was doing and when and how to get it done. I think it's simpler to see from this perspective than to suggest he didn't know what he was getting into. I cannot say why he has done what he's done but Hillary lost and the battle is still ongoing. If he had to figure it out on the way they would have impeached him successfully. What is happening now is the destruction of the swamps foundation under a fake president. The swamp always aims to control the populace. This awakening is meant to lead citizens from the darkness of irresponsible slavery to the light of being focused patriots. That's Trump's goal. Even EOs are not always meant to produce what a plain reading of them would lead one to believe they are to produce.
Yes, I don’t agree with the writer’s opinion about Trump being unaware. I posted the link because I never heard about Schedule F or what it entailed. It could be a Trump card
F could have been just to put on paper what needs to happen. I wonder if the SC may actually do something similar to it one of these days???
After I read this GAW post, I was wondering the same thing. https://communities.win/c/GreatAwakening/p/15IXu1Ph00/new-sc-case-coming--this-could-b/c/
Whoa, yeah, I missed that post... I was talking to a non GAW person in real life today that had read an article, they could not off the cuff recall by whom, that mentioned regulating/reigning in the un-elected bureaucracy in PA... F could be a Trump card! It would be like him to have some one else play it too. Thanks.
Like Q saying Military is the only way, but not which military (as in Russian military) cleaning up Khazarian Mafia in Ukraine. We assumed it was the 🇺🇸 military. Trump scares them with the EO (look over here, not there) and the Supreme Court deals the blow
