Devolution

The term refers to the “devolving” of power from a central government to regional or state governments. The term evolved by remaining Q followers (‘Patel Patriot’ formed the theory) after the Biden inauguration as a theory on how Trump and the white hats remained in control behind the scene. The most well-known recent example of devolution was in the late 1990s, when the U.K.’s member nations held a series of votes moving power from London to governments in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

Underlining the 20th Century was the threat of socialism, and almost all wars dealt with destroying it. Even within the United States, it can be seen in the anarchist bombings and Red Scare of the 1920s; the Cold War and McCarthyism of the 1950s; the socialist Weather Underground and anti-war movements of the 1960s; and finally in 2020, the fall of the United States to Democratic Socialism. A hundred years have passed under the threat of socialism.

Today the Biden Administration, with open arms, welcomes socialists from all over the world but decidedly tells those fleeing socialism in Cuba that we will send them back to Communist tyranny. Why? Because they are rejecting socialism. Socialism remains America’s greatest internal threat and, for the moment, occupies the White House.

From the 1950s to the 1980s, Congress published numerous studies showing communists (all communists are socialists) in high places in our society. I gathered several hundred of these studies, sharing them in the classroom. Senator Joseph McCarthy was the most vocal about those then in our government, resulting in the word McCarthyism becoming the foulest word in the English language and weaponized to put down anyone suggesting the same to this day — so successful were the socialists in the media nearly 70 years ago. Most Americans then believed Nikita Khrushchev’s threat, “We will bury you!” Today, they seem to have done just that.

We know that President Dwight D. Eisenhower was very concerned about the Cold War as one country after another fell to socialism and millions died. To not have provided against a socialist takeover of the United States from within through a socialist victory at the polls would have been irresponsible — it would be the death of the Constitution, freedom, and a victory for America’s most powerful and dangerous enemy. Every soldier had sworn to protect the Constitution from enemies “foreign and domestic,” and they were the ones who had sacrificed their lives opposing the socialism of Nazism (National Socialist) and stood against the socialism of Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong and Chu En-Lai.

The origin of Devolution is believed to have come under Eisenhower as he was the World War II general most responsible for the destruction of Nazi socialism. It is believed that he, with ranking members of Congress, came to the conclusion that the military must protect the Constitution as first responsibility — even from an elected socialist commander in chief. This obviously would have been highly classified but now could be an issue since Democratic Socialists presently occupy the White House, more especially if the election was fraudulent.

Devolution is related to presidential succession. What if all the Constitutional successors were incapacitated? This could be through a nuclear or pandemic attack, a coup, domestic or foreign election interference or other means that could disrupt the continuity of government. Under what circumstances or at what point could and should the military intervene to restore the republic, the Constitution and the rightfully elected?

When America developed a bomb that could destroy an entire city, as in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ending World War II, and the USSR followed with its first nuclear explosion in 1949 after the theft of nuclear technology from American traitors Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and Robert Oppenheimer, “continuity of government” became a critical issue. Washington D.C. was presumed to be the first target by Americas’ socialist enemies and Eisenhower knew this well. Could the continuity of government be destroyed all at once? If so, the military would have to take charge.

Ronald Reagan’s Executive Order 12656 gave clarity and expanded what constituted a national security emergency. Issued on November 18, 1988, and called Assignment of Emergency Preparedness Responsibilities, it defined a national security emergency as “any occurrence, including natural disaster, military attacks, technological emergency, or other emergency that seriously degrades or seriously threatens the national security of the United States.”

Newsweek March 18, 2020, wrote of top-secret contingency plans already in existence “for what the military is supposed to do” should uncertainty surround this issue. “According to new documents and interviews with military experts, the various plans — codenamed Octagon, Freejack and Zodiac — are the underground laws to ensure government continuity. They are so secret that under these extraordinary plans, ‘devolution’ could circumvent the normal Constitutional provisions for government succession, and military commanders could be placed in control around America.”

Devolution was again acknowledged by Barack Obama when he ordered agencies in July of 2016 “to have not just a line of succession but also one of ‘devolution,’ a duplicate chain of individuals secreted outside Washington available in a catastrophic emergency.” As inferred, Devolution involves “procedures to transfer statutory authority and responsibilities” to this secondary designated staff to sustain essential functions” (Presidential Policy Directive 40).

Why is any of this important? If the Arizona forensic audit, and forensic audits to follow, show indisputably that Biden and Harris were NOT elected, then no continuity of government exists. This, even more so, if Democrat leadership committed treason by colluding with China either by weaponizing the Wuhan China Virus or by electronically manipulating the vote count to throw the election to them. And, according to the ultra-liberal news magazine, Newsweek, “military commanders could be placed in control around America.”

Except there exists an actual winner of the 2020 election and the military, not deceived by socialism, will remain loyal to him and the Constitution.

The word “devolution” as it is used in the context of government refers to the delegation of powers from a central government to regional or local entities. As it pertains to this discussion, it suggests that Trump and the military have established regional hubs of governmental authority and this fact is known only to those who are directly involved. A number of people have uncovered documents and pieced together key events supporting the idea that Trump put in place a mechanism by which he could remain Commander in Chief, even as Joe Biden appears to be President.

The premise that Trump could do this is based on the idea that America has been in an undeclared war with China since at least January of 2020. Trump has said on several occasions that when China allowed covid-19 to escape Wuhan, they committed an act of war. When the U.S. is at war—even when it is an undeclared war—the President has powers not available to him in peacetime. These powers do not require congressional approval and many times when they are exercised, the public is not aware. The President can, in wartime, take whatever steps are deemed necessary to save the Republic.

The devolution theory revolves around a number of presidential memoranda, executive orders, and odd personnel changes made in 2020 related to national security. The key players involved are Chris Miller, Kash Patel, and Ezra Cohen-Watnick, who held positions in the Pentagon and the National Counterterrorism Center prior to, and after the election.

Central to the devolution theory is that Trump knew the election would be stolen by a foreign power, and he viewed this as an act of war. In response, he preemptively and covertly took steps to invalidate the outcome of the election. The measures he took are known only to a handful of people, but they effectively make him the true Commander in Chief. A decision was made to allow the public to believe Joe Biden is President, but at a later date, we will be informed of the truth.

Further, the theory proposes that a few key military assets around the country are covertly supporting Trump, while most of the military believes Biden is calling the shots. At a future time—perhaps when indisputable evidence of election fraud is made public—the military and Trump will make their big reveal.

One objection to the theory is the adoption of “woke” ideology by military leaders. Critics say that the military has gone soft and would not support Trump today. The U.S. military is comprised of approximately one million people who come from all walks of life, who espouse diverse ideologies and have different loyalties. It’s a gross oversimplification to say “the military is corrupt,” or “the military is woke.” The military is highly compartmentalized. The ideologies and loyalties of one group are not universally embraced by other groups.

Members of Special Operations teams are selected from a large number of applicants based on specific criteria including loyalty. You’re not going to find wokeism being promoted in their ranks. These men and women are patriots, and the devolution articles suggest that these are the very people Trump is working with.
