Ok, the poet Dana Gioia explained the problem better than I ever could. This rips: "The failure of the public sector in this nation is embodied in thousands of ugly buildings and public spaces. These places have been built practically. They are practical and functional in every respect except... in practice, since they communicate to the average person that the citizen is just a number in a game of cost efficiency and crowd control. The experience that Americans have with walking up the steps of the Lincoln Memorial is the experience of beauty, the embodiment of our political vision of the beauty of democracy, expressed in great architecture, great sculpture, great landscaping, and great language, carved calligraphically in the very walls of the memorial. Just look at a Depression-era post office with marble floors, carved wooden counters, brass fixtures and often an original mural. This was a vision of a beautiful society to which any citizen who entered could participate in. Today the post office is all vinyl and plexiglass. It offers no vision but expediency. We are not citizens, but customers in a cut rate 99 cent store vision of democracy. No wonder the public doesn't believe in the government. The government seems not to believe in them as alert, intelligent, sensory human beings." Dana Gioiashow more

I grew up in San Francisco, walking with my family by the Golden Gate Bridge. I still remember the thick and iconic chain railing that gave the place a sense of distinctiveness. Now the chains are gone, and they've been replaced by a soulless metal railing that's colder than a hospital waiting room. I'm sure some bureaucrat somewhere justified it with a tidy spreadsheet, but they stripped away a little piece of San Francisco's soul in the process. This is how a culture loses its charm: slowly, quietly... one small decision at a time.

Simplifying can be good, but simplification is not itself a virtue. What happens when you keep simplifying, and keep simplifying, and keep simplifying? All the logos start to look exactly the same. The personality disappears. Everything starts sounding the same. You see this in bookstores where you'll pick up a stack of modern books and feel like they all could've been written by the same person. @culturaltutor

Read our next article in this ongoing investigation that shows how the government's seizure of this private property and arrest of its owner further exposes the eco-tyranny happening in California...

Really cute to watch Americans start to understand the problems of pure capitalism without art, humanism, beauty. Very cute indeed.

Counterpoint is it's hard to justify spending more on aesthetics when people want more function out of city services (infrastructure, schools, housing, social services). People want both but resources scarce. They will shit on government either way

I had a great time discussing my vision for serving as chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, together with how Trump is beautifying civic architecture, on Ben Shapiro's show. I explained, "My vision comes from Dana Gioia, the masterful poet and translator who ran the NEA under George W. Bush. He said, 'A great nation deserves great art.' For too long, the NEA has not been producing great art, and I think this is one major reason that Republicans and conservatives have long called for defunding it. But I think that the highest art is that which is beautiful, profound, or moving, and we can foment a cultural renaissance in this country by using the NEA as a vehicle." Ben commented, "Well, Justin, good luck to you in the quest. If you do become the head of the NEA, that'd be wonderful. Obviously, President Trump's vision for revitalizing America's architecture and making the country beautiful again would be really nice because the fact is that so many of our federal buildings are, in fact, deliberately ugly and designed to intimidate. Justin does great work on this."

Last year I was determined to make a contribution to America's 250th Anniversary. This documentary, The Thread of Liberty: Keeping Our Republic, is what came of that desire. I've posted it here in its entirety, as well as at We have an incredible nation, the first ever rights-based government in the history of the world in which the people are sovereign. We should appreciate it and, more importantly, love it. But loving requires understanding and then restoring. There is a great deal to celebrate and there is also a great deal of work that lies before us if we're to restore the republic. One of the central questions for the future of the American Republic is do we still feel an obligation to our experiment in free government? I believe one of the places that we renew the obligation, and begin the restoration, is with a rebirth of instinctive patriotism. I sincerely hope this documentary plays a role in that rebirth. Keep America Free.

🚨🚨🚨"Democracy" is a Psyop!!! "You ask a hundred people on the street, what kind of government is America supposed to be? 99% of them will tell you, a democracy. America is supposed to be a democracy. But THAT'S A LIE. That's an illusion. The word democracy is not written into the Constitution at one time. It's not in the Bill of Rights. It's not in the Declaration of Independence. The founding fathers hated the idea of a democracy. They thought it was the worst form of government there is. And I agree with them, because in a democracy, 51% of the people control 49% of the people. If you're part of the 49%, you're not free. America was founded as a constitutional republic, and in that constitutional republic that we have, 99% of the people can't take away the rights of 1%. You have your rights because you were born with them. You have God given human rights that nobody can take away from you—the government, the majority, no matter who they are. I can't take away your rights. And that's what our founding fathers gave us. But the psychological operations that they do to us, they make us believe that we're a democracy and that majority rules, you see? And they want you to believe that."

#WATCH | Mumbai: As Mahayuti is set to form the govt in the state, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Anand Dubey says, "We could not recognize this tsunami. In a democracy, the public is the most important. We respect the decision of the public and congratulate those who formed the government in Maharashtra. We need to introspect where we went wrong. Our manifesto was very good, we talked about all sections of the society. We never gave slogans like 'Ek rahenge, safe rahenge' and 'Katenge toh bantenge'... We are sad that we could not win the trust of the public... We never expected such a huge defeat... It is very unfortunate that we are not even in a position to sit in the opposition... We will win the trust of the public again..."

ELON: WE MUST PUT AN END TO THE TYRANNY OF THE BUREAUCRACY “In order for us to be a true democracy, a functioning democracy, the government must be responsive to the people. That's literally what democracy means. However, when you have a vast unelected bureaucracy that is not answerable to the public, and if the elected officials, the President, the people in Congress and the Senate, if they don't have the power to affect the bureaucracy — and it's actually extremely difficult to affect the bureaucracy — then you do not have rule of the people. Then, you do not have democracy, but you have rule of the bureau — bureaucracy. And this is obviously wrong. It is unconstitutional, and it is imperative, therefore, that we return power to the people of the country and not have tyranny of the bureaucracy, which we most definitely have had to a degree that is absurd. It's not just that there's an unconstitutional fourth branch of the government, but it is arguably the most powerful branch of the government.” Source: DOGE update on 𝕏 Spaces, February 2025

Catherine Austin Fitts: "Unfortunately, we have many people in Congress and, I suspect, many people in this current administration, who are dual citizens... they are loyal not to the sovereign interests of the U.S., but to this network... who, I believe, run Israel." This clip of Fitts, a former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, investment banker, and founder of the Solari Report (The Solari Report | Catherine Austin Fitts), is taken from a discussion with Christian Elliot posted to the Deconstructing Convention YouTube channel on January 24, 2026. *Note that I did not make the subtitles in the video. They are from the source video. ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- "To me, the most important issue, because we do have a constitution. It still exists, it's very powerful, and we still have a sovereign government. Unfortunately, we have many people in Congress and I suspect many people in this current administration who are dual citizens. They are not just Americans. They have passports. Many, I suspect, to Israel. "I did an interview with Cynthia McKinney, used to be a congresswoman from the Atlanta area. And she said the number one problem in Congress is the dual citizen passport group. And they are loyal not to the sovereign interests of the United States, but to this network. And many of those people, again, are in the United States who run, I believe, who run Israel. And this is a real problem. "And one of the reasons it's a real problem is if you look at that network, they are deeply involved in pushing for financial transaction control. And if you're going to give them a get out of jail free card on what they're doing in Israel, and it's not just in Palestine. Netanyahu was very clear. He said, we're going to turn Israel into a lab for Pfizer. And he mandated the shot. "So if you look at what is happening, the genocide is not just in Palestine, it's in Israel, too. [And] Congress gave [Netanyahu] 54 standing ovations."

“When I asked the people of Katsina State for the honour of leading them, I did not come with empty words. I came with a blueprint, a clear, deliberate vision for what this state could become. And at the very heart of that blueprint was a conviction I have carried for many years: that the greatest investment any government can make is not in roads or buildings, but in the minds of its children.”

Yuval Levin: “The experience of working in government actually made me less cynical about politics and less prone to believe in conspiracy theories, because what you realize when you work in government is that it's just human beings all the way down. Conspiracies are just implausible.” “It can't be that, hundreds of people in the upper reaches of the government would keep this terrible secret and have this six step plan in which the American public is just a stooge. Nobody could manage that. These people don't know what they're doing tomorrow, and they don't know how to deal with the stresses they're facing right now.”

Cardinal Sarah delivered a STIRRING speech today in France: 'Too often in the West, religion is presented as an activity in the service of human well-being. Religion is equated with humanitarian efforts, acts of charity, the welcoming of migrants and the homeless, the promotion of universal fraternity and peace in the world. ... Even if these matters are important, this vision of religion is false. Religion is not a matter of food or humanitarian action. In the desert, this was the first temptation that Jesus rejected'
