Neoreactionary Forces Are Capturing U.S. Government Infrastructure
A new memorandum describes the coup occurring before our eyes.
A recently circulated memorandum, which has reached the highest levels of government and has been independently verified by multiple sources, outlines what may be the most significant threat to American democratic governance since the nation's founding.
The document, authored by what appears to be patriotic citizens deeply concerned about national security, deserves immediate and serious attention from both policymakers and the public.
The memorandum meticulously details how a coordinated network of private actors, led by Elon Musk and aligned with the "neoreactionary" (NRx) movement, has begun systematically capturing critical government infrastructure through a new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This is not merely another story about private sector influence in government–this represents a disastrous situation: a sophisticated attempt to transfer the sovereign state powers of the most powerful nation on Earth to private, unaccountable actors.
What makes this situation particularly alarming is its departure from traditional threats to democratic governance.
Rather than attempting to overwhelm democratic institutions through force or popular movements, this effort operates by hollowing out government functions and redirecting them through private channels, while masking these actions using state propaganda tactics. The memorandum details how DOGE has gained unprecedented access to Treasury systems, personnel databases, and critical infrastructure while installing unvetted ideological allies in key positions.
The strategy appears to be institutional capture through technological leverage, as Musk and Trump use control over critical systems and infrastructure to create de facto private authority without requiring formal changes to governmental structures.
The national security concerns cannot be overstated.
The memorandum highlights the known facts that DOGE personnel, many lacking proper security clearances and possibly even unqualified to obtain the same, have gained access to sensitive government systems including:
Treasury payment infrastructure processing trillions in transactions
Personnel databases containing sensitive information about federal employees
Critical communication and information systems
The potential consolidation of social media platforms under this same network, through X, Meta, and the possible added acquisition of TikTok via Trump’s new “Sovereign Wealth Fund” would create unprecedented capabilities for information control and social manipulation.
What makes this situation particularly dangerous is its sophistication, and the reality that millions of Americans are blind to the situation at hand.
The neoreactionary movement described in the memorandum has effectively weaponized legitimate conservative desires for government reform into a vehicle for private power consolidation. Rather than limiting government power, these changes transfer it to unaccountable private actors, which is clearly a profound and intentional departure from traditional American conservatism's emphasis on dispersed power, democratic accountability, and rule of law.
This memorandum is now in the hands of senior government officials who cannot claim ignorance of its warnings. However, public awareness and pressure are crucial for ensuring appropriate action.
Every American concerned about democratic governance should:
1. Read the full memorandum and understand its implications,
2. Contact their Congressional representatives demanding immediate investigation and oversight,
3. Share this information with others who care about maintaining democratic accountability.
The document's detailed recommendations for Congressional action provide a roadmap for addressing this crisis. But action requires public awareness and engagement. The authors of the memorandum have done their duty in bringing this situation to light.
Now it falls to all of us citizens, journalists, and public officials to ensure these warnings do not go unheeded.
I can confirm this memorandum has reached several key decisionmakers in Washington. The question now is whether our democratic institutions will respond with the urgency this situation demands. The window for action may be closing, but has not yet closed completely.
Contact your representatives. Share this information.
The future of American democratic governance may depend on it.
Update: It only took 41 minutes after tweeting this story to receive a reply from a MAGA bot notifying Elon Musk of my content and threatening to deport me.
We must fix this undemocratic mess.
I am surprised that there is no discussion showing up here, after four days of being available.
What are the stat numbers for this post? I am still reading through the memo and will be amplifying it in my newsletter from here on out.
Deport you? You have served your country with greater honor than Elon and his junta in the White House will ever know.
