Chapter 38 — The New Year's Day Revolution
As we saw in the last chapter, some scholars [1] expressed surprise that the 2016 presidential elections were nearly devoid of substantive policy debates. Their belief was that, since the United States faced so many crises, the election would center on questions like Employment, Immigration, The Middle East, Energy, Military Strength, Black - White Relations and several additional critical issues.
In hindsight, of course, we see that individual issues were not important to the American voter. They had seen the results of the Obama administration and decided that he wasn’t merely wrong on some issues, he was wrong on nearly all issues. [2]
Voters also saw that the Democrat party was more likely to vote as a bloc than the Republican party, and that the Democrat bloc would support the president on nearly every issue. [3] While this is normally an effective tactic, it brought disaster to the Democrats in 2016. One influential Democrat politician said, “Hell, we could have nominated Jesus H. Tapdancing Christ and we wouldn’t have gotten more than 45% of the vote.” [4]
By nominating Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the Democrats solved one problem and created another. Sen. Warren fired up the Democrat base, getting their core constituencies excited about the campaign. [5] This helped by providing the manpower necessary for a successful “Ground campaign.”
Unfortunately, Sen. Warren was seen as being to the left of Hillary Clinton. Her frequent attacks on “The Bankers,” her lack of emphasis on other issues, and questions raised about her integrity in the “Faux-cohantas” affair, alienated many Americans. [6] They weren’t prepared for another ideologue from the Left, and the Election Night returns made that clear.
The New Year’s Day Revolution
While it’s undeniably true, it’s also a commonplace to say that the New Year’s Day Revolution of 2017 was the most striking in American history, and also the first revolution where the government almost overthrew itself.
The details leading up to the Revolution are described well in the book, “A New Year, a New Country,” by J. Steiner, et al. As useful as that book is, however, students should be aware of the documents discovered in the attic of a Palo Alto, CA home last fall.[7]
The home had been owned by Portarlington G. Travers, a shadowy figure in the Wilkinson Administration. Little is known of him except for three things. He could record events and provide accurate impressions, he was smart and diplomatic, and most of all, he was the person President Wilkinson trusted above all others.
Travers was the man who saw and recorded everything, at President Wilkinson’s request. His access to the president was breathtaking. [8] He was tasked to be the historian of the revolution, and to make sure that the records were not lost to future generations.
No student or scholar can completely understand the Revolution without a review of Travers’ records. Many of them, unfortunately, are still classified. Some, which should have been classified have been leaked and published, and some require searching through the University of Southern North Dakota Archives, which received the documents under Travers’ will.
Perhaps a look at one of Travers’ earliest records will help display the importance of these papers. [9]
White House Transcript

9:45 a.m. Local
White House, Oval Office
Attendees: President Wilkinson (PW); Vice-President Peter Pletskova (VP); Secretary of State Designee, David Engler, (DE), Attorney General Designee, Angela Friedrichs (AF) Director, Secret Service, Margaret Billis (MB); White House Photographer, Cherise Kikler (CK), Mr. John Smith (JS)
PW: Good morning, I hope you’re all comfortable and awake. If you want anything at all, just ask. I chose the Oval Office for this meeting, as I have a sense for the Historic. Cherise? Would you take a few pictures of the group?
Mr. Smith, you may turn or step outside as suits you.
Thank you, Cherise. Would you kindly leave now. [(CK) leaves.]
I’m sure you noticed the extra security screening you were given before this meeting. I’ve been assured that there were no electronic devices brought in, and I’ve not allowed you paper and pencil. I’m not as familiar with the various classification levels the government has as I should be, but this meeting is classified higher than any of them.
You may come under tremendous pressure to leak even a little bit of today’s meeting, or the subsequent ones on the same subject. I assure you, this information is of more importance to the country and the world than anything I can think of. Of course there are penalties for divulging classified information, but over the last few decades we’ve seen individuals leak secrets and, more or less, get away with it.
Mr. Smith, were you searched well before you entered this office?
JS: Yes, Mr. President.
PW: Would you have any way of killing someone in this office while making it look like a natural death?
JS: Yes, Mr. President, I have two ways of killing everyone in this office without leaving a trace.
MB: Mr. President! That’s impossible, my agents check everyone so thoroughly that they couldn’t get a microbe into this office if we didn’t want them to. I resent the insult to my people.
JS: I was searched well, Madame Director. Your staff is very competent. Still . . .
PW: Don’t worry about it Ms. Billis. Look at the people around you. These are all extraordinary people. Mr. Smith is far from ordinary, himself. Let me tell you why he’s here. Better still, Mr. Smith? Would you summarize our discussion, your reaction, and your instructions?
JS: Certainly, Mr. President, as you wish.
The president has provided me with certain information dealing with challenges to the existence of the United States as a stable nation, and to the Western world as a whole. He has also explained his plans for dealing with the situation.
I have verified his information through our own sources, and agree with his plans. Although they might very well not be successful, no better plans have been presented. I am prepared to cooperate fully. I have also received an implant which, if triggered, will cause my death within five minutes. I regard this as a prudent precaution.
Part of my instructions deal with you gentlemen and this meeting. Besides the President and myself, there will be four people with full access to these plans. If they leak out in any way, my instructions are to attempt to identify the leaker, or to narrow it to the smallest number of suspects.
I will then report those names to the President, and, upon his approval, I will kill the person responsible; or the suspects, if the leaker cannot be positively identified. I have then been instructed to also kill his or her four closest family members. I may choose the method.
I agree with, and accept, my instructions.
ALL: [General uproar]
PW: Yes, I know. “Due process,” “Murder,” “Assassination,” “Un-American,” “Unthinkable.” All of that and more. Fine. Travers? Would you make a note that all of those present, with the exception of me, are fine upstanding moral individuals?
PW: Please, quiet for a moment. You know me. You know the situation in the country and the world. If Mr. Smith hasn’t convinced you, let me assure you, I am serious. Your call, in or out?
[EXTENDED DISCUSSION - SEE ATTACHMENT #3]
PW: Thank you all very much. Our work may or may not be known. Some of us may be killed, in fact, I expect it. But if there is an America in the future, it will be because of you.
Mr. Smith, would you care to stay or do you have sufficient information to deal with the situation?
JS: Mr. President, as mine is a security function, and not one dealing with policy, I’d prefer to be excused. I have some work to do relating to these gentlemen and Ms. Billis. [JS leaves.]
PW: Well, Pete, what about it? Are you ready to take over running the country?
VP: Mr. President! I’m shocked! Are you well? Are you going to quit? I know I’m supposed to step into your shoes, but. . . What are you talking about?
PW: I thought it was a simple yes or no question. Look Pete, you’re the most connected guy I could find in this city. At least, the most connected that isn’t corrupt. Legislators in both parties respect and trust you, even if they don’t like or agree with you. You know more agency heads than I even know that we have.
Laws and regulations, Pete. That’s your playground. I want you to go play in it.
VP: That’s all very well, and I admit that Congress and the bureaucracy are my areas of strength, but what do you want me to actually do?
PW: I told you, Pete. I want you to run the country. First, I want you to keep the country from tearing itself apart. We've got two problems. First, I want you to treat the radical terrorist problem seriously. Investigate mosques and community centers, plant informers, perform searches.
Ms. Friedrichs, I want your department to come up with new and creative ways of making life difficult for people suspected of ties to radical Islam and terror groups. This includes racial terrorism groups. I expect you'll continue the standard surveillance on the Klan, militias, and so forth. Talk with Pete about getting the necessary legislation passed. DO NOT be concerned about "Sensitivity." Pete will have to help explain our approach to the public; after Charlie Hebdo and the dozens of attacks throughout Europe in the last two years, it shouldn't be hard to make the case that we're next.
Work with local law enforcement, and if some seem reluctant to cooperate, I'll back you up.
AF: May we coordinate with intelligence agencies, and will we have the budget for this extra work?
PW: Of course. I expect you to coordinate left and right. I also want you to set up a team to work with NSA to increase citizen privacy. It will be useful to be able to say we've shifted our focus to where the problem is. Budget? Yes, but some of this will only require shifting resources, not getting new money. But, yes, you'll get what you need.
Second, Pete, I want you to strip the government down like a pole dancer at Fifi’s.
As a rough guide, get rid of half the government. Don’t bother trying to cut Congress or the Courts, we’ll clean up our own act first. Get rid of offices and agencies. If we need them, OK, but close a bunch and send the rest back to the states.
As an example, ditch Education, the States can do their own. Cut Commerce to about 20% of what it is now. You’ll find more.
Look especially at offices in a position to give favors to large institutions like banks, auto manufacturers, corporations, unions, etc.
We should end up with no more than 40% of the offices we have now, and no more than 2/3 of the employees. However, do not cut military strength, we may need it. If you can reduce spending or manpower without reducing strength, fine. But I don’t think you can.
Next, get the department heads to start rescinding regulations. You’ll have no trouble getting feedback from citizens or business on stupid regulations. Get rid of those as well. Put in a system to slow down new regulations.
Don’t hire new bureaucrats; if there’s an opening, move one from an agency which is closing.
VP: Well and good, but what are you going to be doing while I run the country?
PW: That’s simple, I’m going to be running the world.
I’m ejecting the UN from the US. They can set it up in Cuba for all I care.
DE: [Interrupting] You can't do that! Our entire diplomatic structure depends on the United Nations and equal treatment of all nations! You'll be sending the message that the US is withdrawing from the world.
PW: Mr. Engler, I realize this comes as a shock to you with your life time of training and service, but we are going to withdraw from the world, or at least, a part of it.
My priorities for the world? Freedom first. Remember the editor at Charlie Hebdo who said something like "I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees?" Freedom first, Mr. Engler. The protection of it and the spread of it. Notice that I didn't say Democracy or Capitalism. The people of the world can make their own choices, but they should be able to make it freely.
Next, as we can manage it, peace. And with peace, there will come trade, exchange of people and ideas, learning.
I’m starting a new organization, invitation only, for countries who rank highest in the world for freedom. It won’t matter if they’re big or small, an appreciation for freedom is what will matter. We’ll support each other, strengthen and trade with each other, even fight for each other if necessary in order to protect and spread freedom. It will be an alliance of free nations.
Mr. Engler, I expect you'll be able to set up such a structure. There are approximately 50 nations right now that are at the top of Freedom House's list of Free Nations. We'll want as many of those as we can get. If you have other suggested members let me know.
Instead of the US versus Russia, or East versus West, the world will divide into Free versus Slave. Countries will see the advantages of freedom, but if they don’t want to join, they won’t have to. But we won’t allow them to interfere with those looking for peace and freedom. Simply getting rid of the UN will help with that. It’s torn by countries with contradictory goals. The UN is now manipulated, inefficient, and corrupt.
DE: I understand the need for secrecy, Mr. President. It's revolutionary, I'll give you that, but I think it will go over well with our citizens and our allies, especially after the doubts they were left with from the last administration. I'm your man.
PW: Thank you very much, Mr. Engler. While you are not a man searching for fame, I hope you realize that you will be likely seen as the great diplomat of history. Unless, of course, you're assassinated first.
MB: [unintelligible]
PW: Well, Ms. Billis? What have you got to say?
MB: Now, I know why you asked me to this meeting. Just about everybody in the world will be seriously trying to kill all of you. My guess, is that they’ll get at least one of you in your first term. You'd better get us some extra agents and money. We'll probably triple the protection on the Vice-President. He'll be more hated than Cheney.
PW: That’s pretty much what I think too. Just to make it interesting, Pete can stay basically indoors and low profile, but I’m going to be all over the world, talking to national leaders and the people.
I know there are some countries not interested in freedom yet, I’ll leave those until the end, but if you thought Obama traveled a lot, watch me.
Pete, I expect to get killed. You have to be ready to step in and follow through with the plans. And everything has to be in cement in four years. When the country finds out what we’re doing we’ll never be re-elected.
End of this portion of the transcript.
Scholars will at last be able to see that the New Year's Day revolution, ushering in what has been variously called the New Year, the New Era, and even the New World Order, was under the control of President Wilkinson from the outset. It was not, as some believe, a power play by the State Department, the CIA, or any other agency.
Vice-President Pletskova's legacy may also be seen more accurately as part of the plan to bring more freedom and prosperity to the citizens. The success of this approach ushered in what many call "The Golden Age," which we will discuss in the next chapter.
