Take a wild leaping guess into the shadows about why no one ever showed you this before. Tariffs paid for 94.9% of the federal government in 1860 and still 44% in 1913. By 1920, after the income tax arrived, that was down to 4.8%. Today income taxes bring in about 60% of federal revenue, and tariffs were 3.7% in fiscal 2025, up from 1.6% the year before.

"C'mon man! You can't move this country off of the debt slave model to a citizen shareholder model! Where you gonna get the MONEY for those citizen dividend checks you're babbling about? You're just gonna be handing people their own tax money back, right!?" 1. The fraud is larger than anyone saying that understands. 2. Only HALF the revenue/profits in the coming citizen dividend checks will be from money no longer being STOLEN AND LAUNDERED IN MASSIVE FRAUD SCHEMES. 3. The OTHER HALF of the revenue/profits in the coming citizen dividend checks is going to be from profits generated by the use of national resources in manufacturing/sales/trade/tariffs. 4. The SIZE of the government is shrinking even as the AMOUNT of fraud successfully still going through is shrinking even MORE dramatically. They are catching more fraud every day and shutting it down and redirecting the funds and even clawing back billions that were stolen. 5. All your life almost HALF of the tax money being taken from US citizens ended up in fraud. You've NEVER lived in an America where that wasn't happening. So you struggle to understand what having that massive hidden 'fraud tax' hand chopped off where it's not STEALING almost half the taxes raised annually, you struggle to 'SEE' what that means. 6. It's like a runner having 25 pound weights taken off of both feet. That's just from the money NOT being stolen/laundered and actually used AGAINST this country any longer. 7. There's also a MASSIVE ECONOMIC MANUFACTURING BOOM that's almost here. We've always had the RESOURCES to have such a boom. Its just that the people who formerly had control SHIPPED ALL OUR KEY MANUFACTURING OVERSEAS so they could keep us under their control. Now those industries are coming BACK and there's a massive wave of new manufacturing construction underway especially in the South and the Rust Belt. 8. Not only are the citizen shareholder dividend checks coming annually **only** to verified citizens going to be quite large, the profits being divided up between the citizens are not going to be from 'tax money'. It's not 'their own money' taken from them in the form of taxes merely being returned by those who took the money. These are going to be profits from sales/trade/manufacturing activities where resources OWNED by those citizens are producing profits for the country. And as shareholders in their own country, citizens are getting a cut of the profits generated from that manufacturing/trade activity. 9. Once you've had a taste of life under the citizen shareholder model, the chances they could EVER get you to go BACK to the debt slave model so they can start STEALING up to half the federal budget via fraud are nil. They know this. It's why there's a lot riding on this next election, which will determine if Trump gets full control of the US Senate or not. briancates.substack.com/p/pa…

As much as some people don't like this, a lot of the current administration's focus, time and resources have had to be devoted to a massive Herculean enterprise for the past 2 years, and likely continuing throughout 2027: Taking what was in fact an ORGANIZED CRIME FRONT cleverly disguised as the EXECUTIVE BRANCH of the UNITED STATES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT and its AGENCIES and CONVERTING ALL OF THAT **BACK** into being a CONSTITUTIONAL AMERICA FIRST EXECUTIVE BRANCH instead of an organized crime front. Massive, very difficult, not-easily-pulled-off task there. Especially when you consider the one thing that makes this such a tough row to hoe: THE FRAUD. THE SHEER MIND-BOGGLING TOTALLY FLABBERGASTING LEVEL OF FRAUD THAT WAS GOING ON. That U.S. Shadow Government franchise of the Transnational Crime Syndicate was STEALING SO MUCH EVERY DAMN YEAR that when the good guys finally get in there for real and start shutting it all down... ...even though some of them probably SUSPECTED how bad it was going to be... ...even THEY keep telling us the LEVELS OF CRIME they keep finding is BLOWING THEIR MINDS. For almost 2 years now, the good guys have been REPLACING THE ORGANIZED CRIME FRONTS with real actual honest-to-God federal agencies following the law... ...while simultaneously shutting down all the criminal fraud activity, tracing it, tracking where the stolen federal funds were going, who was taking it, mapping out the extensive NGO/state level fraud networks. A. VERY. TOUGH. ROW. TO. HOE. I know its radical to say this NOW, even at this point, even after they've spent almost 2 years exposing all the fraud and theft and money laundering. UP TO HALF THE U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S ANNUAL BUDGET UNDER THE U.S. SHADOW GOVERNMENT FRANCHISE WAS FUCKIN' FRAUD. Maybe OVER half of it. They're still uncovering it. They're still finding and rooting out more fraud **embedded in the system**. So yeah. While Team Shadow Government was in charge up until now, it VERY WELL COULD TURN OUT TO BE THAT **OVER** HALF THE ANNUAL BUDGET EVERY YEAR WAS FRAUD. You have been watching a massive TRANSITION occurring between a cleverly disguised ORGANIZED CRIME FRONT and the reconstitution of a real U.S. Executive Branch/agencies that actually WORK FOR AMERICANS, not the Transnational Crime Syndicate. What Trump and his team have been doing for the past 20 months, at this point you SHOULD be able to understand why all of this activity was IMPOSSIBLE during his first term. The country wasn't ready to see just how bad it actually was in 2017-2021. Now the process of exposing the U.S. Shadow Government franchise, removing it from power, and shutting down ALL of the fraud and criminal activities continues during this present term, because the country was ready for it to happen. They couldn't tell you how bad it was. How many people would have believed them if they'd told you in January 2025, that up to HALF the federal budget was criminal fraud, and there was a Shadow Government managing it all, stealing it all on purpose, laundering it, working with over 35 states in massive fraud schemes? Would you have believed that 8 years ago? Hell, would you have believed 20 months ago? There are serious, entrenched very powerful people all acrossl the US national/cultural/insitutional spectrum with DEEPLY VESTED INTERESTS in **shielding, protecting, defending** all of that massive fraud the U.S. Shadow Government franchise was doing. BECAUSE THEY ALL PROFITED FROM IT. THEY WERE ALL GETTING THEIR CUT OF THE STOLEN MONEY. Once you undestand the true nature of what was happening before, when other evil people had control, and the literal MIRACLE of what you've been watching the Trump administration pull off for the last 20 months after Trump and his team finally TOOK CONTROL from those vile people, you will more fully appreciate announcements like this one, shutting down more of the fraud that was NEVER supposed to be DETECTED, much less SHUT DOWN and PROSECUTED. You truly do live in amazing times.
