The Billionaire Plan
to End America

The richest men in the country are in the final stages of a 40-year plan to kill America and crown themselves kings. They’re bragging about it. And they’re convinced they’ve got you too distracted to care.

“I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.”17

“One suspects that democracy is exhausted, and that we have to ask some questions very far outside the Overton window.”18

“If we want to increase freedom, we want to increase the number of countries.”28

The education of the average American has become a fool’s errand.”28

“Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women have rendered the notion of ‘capitalist democracy‘ into an oxymoron.”17

“Mordor is this technological civilization based on reason and science. Outside of Mordor, it’s all sort of mystical and environmental and nothing works.”8

“There are quite a lot of people who think it’s not possible. That’s a good thing. We don’t need to really worry about those people very much, because since they don’t think it’s possible they won’t take us very seriously. And they will not actually try to stop us until it’s too late.”110

“Democracy is a dangerous, malignant form of government.”26

“We need to topple the system and return to monarchy.”27

“If Americans want to change their government, they need to get rid of dictator phobia.”28

“I think that actually the support of the democratic public is a cipher. All you need is command of the police.”28

“I’ve been coaching Peter Thiel… he’s fully enlightened, just plays it very carefully.”29

“You’re spinning up this new executive branch and the powers of your new executive branch are effectively unlimited.”28

“If you agree with me that democracy is the problem, not the solution, there’s nothing wrong with a military coup.“28

“The best alternative to genociding the undesirables is permanent solitary confinement, waxed like a bee larva into a cell which is sealed except for emergencies.”32

“The deep right is the faction of truth. the deep right is only interested in paths to absolute power. The political goal of the deep right is straightforward: replace the regime.”30

“The hard part is to take control of the streets. How can you fence off a street and make clear that it’s under your control? Take total control of your neighborhood, push out all blues.”28

“Convince people the system is irreparable. Ignore the courts, and move fast. Replace everyone. Nationalize the police. Dissolve city and state elections. Shut down media and universities.”31

“The most profitable disposition for dealing with the undesirable is to convert them into biodiesel. Okay, just kidding. …the ideal solution achieves the same result as mass murder without any of the moral stigma.”33

“Trump himself… will not be the CEO. He will be the chairman of the board—he will select the CEO (an experienced executive). This process, which obviously has to be televised, will be complete by his inauguration—at which the transition to the next regime will start immediately.”109

“As the crappy governments we inherited from history are smashed, they should be replaced by a global spider web of tens, even hundreds of thousands of sovereign and independent mini-countries, each governed by its own joint-stock corporation, without regard to the resident’s opinions.”34

This is the logical conclusion to capitalism: monarchy.

And they’ve been carefully planning this. Every time you’ve pointed the finger at your fellow American, they’ve been pulling the strings.

Are you on the right? We are not attacking you – they are. These elite have infiltrated your party, and are weaponizing it against America itself.

This isn’t about identity politics. This isn’t left vs right. This is all of us vs sociopaths.

Help us save the conservative party.
Help us save America.
