The Four Horsemen of the America First Apocalypse

Welcome to Day 136 of the Trump administration’s second act. The “America First” banner flies high, but storm clouds are gathering. Four existential threats—call them the Four Horsemen—loom over this movement, threatening to choke out its promise and expose the rot beneath the red, white, and blue. Censorship, the COVID mRNA debacle, economic malfeasance via “one big beautiful bill,” and the maddening silence on the Epstein client list—these are the harbingers of collapse.

Horseman I: Censorship’s Iron Grip

Let’s start with the First Amendment, the bedrock of liberty. The Trump administration rode in on a white horse with an executive order titled “Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship.” Bold words. Yet, 136 days in, we’re seeing a chilling pivot. Take the cases of Mahmoud Khalil at Columbia, Rumeysa Ozturk at Tufts, and Badar Khan Suri at Georgetown—students accused of supporting Palestinians or joining pro-Palestinian protests. Deportation for illegal, violent criminals? Fine. No one’s crying for arsonists or rioters. But when the feds start targeting ideological dissent—absent any explicit calls for or acts of violence—it’s a slippery slope to a full-on speech police state. These kids aren’t planting bombs; they’re waving signs and writing. It doesn't take too much imagination as to what can happen to even citizens in a political environment that doesn't protect Free Speech, especially from an administration that ran on that promise.

Worse, the administration’s cozied up to Palantir Technologies. A March executive order mandated “enhanced federal data sharing,” and Palantir’s Foundry platform is the tool to make it happen—collecting, integrating, and analyzing personal data from every federal agency under the sun. The pitch? Break down “information silos” for efficiency. The reality? The Patriot Act on steroids. A corporate panopticon, courtesy of Jeremy Bentham’s ghost, where the government builds sophisticated profiles on every citizen. We’ve seen this beta-tested a thousand times—NSA, PRISM, you name it. Now it’s official: Big Brother’s got a new toy, and it’s watching you. How’s that for “restoring and codifying freedom of speech”?

Horseman II: The COVID mRNA Mirage

Next, the COVID-19 saga. Top health officials—HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary—have gutsily said there’s no evidence to justify routine mRNA shots for healthy kids and most adults. Bravo. Other countries are nodding along, scaling back. Good. About time. But here’s the rub: the Trump administration still clings to Operation Warp Speed as a major accomplishment. Trump calls it a “monumental national achievement,” bragging about “safe and effective” vaccines delivered in record time, saving “millions and millions of lives.” The narrative’s clear: Warp Speed ended the pandemic, restored normalcy, and proved American grit.

Hold up. The Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for these mRNA jabs was a sham—rushed, politicized, and paper-thin, all to grant the manufacturers immunity under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986. Meanwhile, alternatives like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were smeared, sidelined, and blackballed. The VAERS data? A horror show—mountains of reports on injuries and deaths. Yet the administration won’t come clean. RFK Jr., of all people, has spent years torching the architects of this mess—Anthony Fauci, Francis Collins, Peter Daszak, Albert Bourla, and the whole Pharma cabal. So why the silence? Day 136, and “America First” looks like “Big Pharma First.” Ludicrous. The truth’s overdue—admit the mistakes, own the damage, and stop gaslighting the people.

Horseman III: Economic Malfeasance and the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’

Now, the economy. The Trump administration’s climbing into bed with bankers and financiers, and it’s a death knell for the American project. Trillions in pandemic stimulus—2020, 2021, and beyond—lit the fuse on runaway inflation. I’ve written ad nauseam about central banking’s history, its stranglehold, and my personal disgust. The “one big beautiful bill”—the latest spending spree—pours fuel on the fire. Overspending Is not a policy; it’s a addiction.

Sure, the ‘trade wars’, tariffs, and market volatility spook the Côte d’Azur vacation crowd, but for the majority of the working American citizenship they’ve stood behind them. And after the supply chain crisis of the early 2020s, repatriating semiconductors, steel, and antibiotics makes sense—national defense demands it. Fine. But the real bleed? The 750+ military bases worldwide, a black hole of cash. Funding Ukraine’s endless war? Check. Bankrolling what any honest observer calls an ethnic cleansing in Gaza—more artillery dropped since October 7, 2023, than all of World War II? Check. The spending’s a runaway train, and America First can’t survive if the conductor’s a Pentagon warlord or a globalist bean-counter.

Horseman IV: The Epstein Client List Black Hole

Finally, the unreleased files. Where are the JFK documents? Where’s the Epstein client list? We got a photo op—binders full of nothing. Pam Bondi’s chatting with her au pair one day, the American public the next, thanks to James O’Keefe’s lens. Whitney Webb’s One Nation Under Blackmail lays it bare: Epstein’s web is deep—celebrities, billionaires, royalty, former presidents, Mossad, CIA. It’s a cesspool. No list, no accountability.

The question screams: How has no one come forward? How deep does this cabal run? Beyond the boldfaced names, beyond the spooks—is the entire American project compromised beyond redemption? Epstein’s not just a scandal; it’s the skeleton key. If the Trump administration won’t crack this open, America First dies here. Transparency isn’t a buzzword; it’s the last lifeline.

The Reckoning

These Four Horsemen—censorship, the mRNA mess, economic malfeasance, and the Epstein and disclosure blackout—aren’t just threats; they’re the apocalypse of the America First dream. The movement sold itself on draining the swamp, putting citizens first, and ripping the veil off the elite. But 136 days in, the cracks are showing.

Censorship’s strangling dissent, with Palantir’s data dragnet turning every American into a dossier. The COVID mRNA saga’s a trust-killer, with the administration doubling down on a flawed victory lap instead of facing the VAERS bloodbath. Overspending’s mortgaging the future, cozying up to bankers while bleeding cash on foreign wars and bases. And the Epstein client list? The ghost that haunts us all, a ticking bomb of corruption that could topple the whole damn house.

This isn’t just policy gone wrong. It’s a betrayal of the promise. America First was supposed to mean you—the worker, the parent, the small-town dreamer—not the spooks, the pharma lords, the financiers, or the pedophile-protecting elite. Day 136, and the horsemen are galloping.

So, what’s the play? Demand answers. Flood the zone—call your reps, amplify the noise. Push for free speech, not deportations for thoughtcrime. Demand a COVID reckoning—audit the jabs, unearth the data, prosecute the grift. Slash the spending—bring the bases home, starve the war machine, and tell the bankers to take a hike. And for God’s sake, release the files—JFK, Epstein, all of it. No more shadows.

The clock’s ticking. These horsemen don’t just threaten the movement; they threaten the soul of the nation. America First isn’t a slogan—it’s a reckoning. Day 136 is a wake-up call. Will the administration ride to the rescue, or will it saddle up with the horsemen?
