Is Trump’s Victory the Beginning of a New Era?
In the aftermath of the 2024 election, Mark Hamilton broke his long-standing silence on political matters: not to endorse candidates, but to identify the one factor that truly determines prosperity: the size of government.
“The really good thing to focus on is the reduction of the federal bureaucracy. That says it all.”
Quick answer
Is Trump’s Victory the Beginning of a New Era?
Mark Hamilton sees the 2024 election through one key metric: government reduction. He bypasses partisan debates entirely, focusing instead on the planned shrinking of federal bureaucracy through DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency). When government shrinks, the economy grows, costs drop, and prosperity expands: proven by the unregulated computer revolution. This represents “Phase One” toward a fully free society.
- ✓The size of government matters more than which party wins
- ✓DOGE aims to reduce federal spending by up to $2 trillion annually
- ✓The computer revolution proves what happens when government can’t regulate an industry
- ✓Immortalis, a new country with no bureaucratic regulations: represents Phase Two
- ✓The Prime Law removes all initiatory force, enabling pure capitalism
This video was recorded on November 21, 2024, just weeks after the U.S. presidential election. Mark Hamilton’s analysis of the incoming administration’s plans for government efficiency provides valuable insight into the relationship between government reduction and human prosperity: principles that remain relevant regardless of political cycles.
Why Government Size Matters More Than Politics
“One side says we’re gonna get four years of tyranny. The other side says we’re gonna get four years of freedom,” Hamilton observed. “But the really good thing to focus on is the reduction of the federal bureaucracy. That says it all.”
Through decades of studying illusions and their effects on society, Hamilton has developed what he calls his “superpower”: the ability to see through political theater to identify what actually matters for human flourishing.
“I’m not talking about Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. I’m talking about Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. That’s where the real power, the real freedom’s going to come from.” Mark Hamilton
DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency)
A government efficiency initiative announced in late 2024, led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, with the stated goal of reducing federal spending by up to $2 trillion annually through eliminating wasteful bureaucracy and regulations.
The Computer Revolution Proof
Hamilton points to the computer revolution of the late 20th century as concrete evidence of what happens when government can’t regulate an industry:
The Computer Revolution
In the late 20th century, the government couldn’t get a handle on regulating computer technology. The result? Computing power costs dropped over 1,000-fold. Today, you carry a smartphone in your pocket with more computing power than only billion-dollar Fortune 500 companies could afford just decades ago. Now imagine that same cost reduction applied across the entire economy.
This isn’t speculation: it’s historical fact. When an industry operates without bureaucratic weight, prices plummet while quality soars. The question Hamilton raises: What if we applied this principle to healthcare, energy, housing, and every other sector?
The Two-Phase Plan to Human Prosperity
Reduce Government (Current Era)
Initiatives like DOGE represent the first step: shrinking bureaucracy within the existing system. When government spending decreases by $2 trillion annually, that money stays in the productive economy.
Expected results: Budget balance, debt reduction, economic growth, rising prosperity, and most importantly: people seeing through illusions as they experience the benefits firsthand.
Immortalis (Complete Freedom)
The ultimate goal: a new country with no bureaucratic regulations whatsoever. Everything based on mutual value exchange. Your wallet does the voting, not political campaigns.
Key principle: Government becomes a voluntary protection service funded by a 10% tithe: not forced taxation. People pay willingly because they want to preserve the system that made them wealthy.
Immortalis
A new country founded by Mark Hamilton, currently operating as a digital network state with a 10-year plan to acquire physical territory. It operates under the Prime Law, which removes all initiatory force from government and society, limiting governance to protection services only.
Why Government Is a Cult
In a striking analysis, Hamilton identifies government as fitting the definition of a cult:
How Government Fits the Definition of a Cult
- →Controlling people’s lives, From childhood education through retirement, government programs shape every aspect of life
- →Through manipulating their minds, Illusions, propaganda, and “compassionate-sounding” policies that obscure true costs
- →For the benefit of the leaders, Politicians enter worth $100,000 and leave worth $200 million
“Our brains have been so polluted with these illusions that are really tough for the average person to cut through and see through,” Hamilton explains. “People are dealing with what we call Neo-Cheaters: master manipulators crafting illusions with compassionate-sounding language that the people believe in. But in the end, it’s toll booth compassion because people are paying for that and paying big.”
Illusion Pollution
Mark Hamilton’s term for the accumulated beliefs, assumptions, and programmed responses that prevent people from seeing reality clearly. Like pollution in the environment, these mental illusions build up over a lifetime through education, media, and political messaging.
Big Government vs. Reduced Government
Big Government Reality
- ✗ $36 trillion national debt
- ✗ Regulations blocking medical breakthroughs
- ✗ Politicians getting rich off public service
- ✗ Revolving door to cushy corporate jobs
- ✗ Stagnant wages, rising costs
- ✗ Innovation slowed by bureaucracy
- ✗ People dependent on government programs
Reduced Government Results
- ✓ Balanced budgets, debt reduction
- ✓ Medical research freed to cure disease
- ✓ More money in people’s pockets
- ✓ Rapid economic growth
- ✓ Costs dropping across all sectors
- ✓ Innovation at computer-revolution speed
- ✓ People building their own prosperity
The Medical Freedom Breakthrough
Hamilton identifies healthcare as one of the most important areas held back by regulation:
“What’s holding back the health field? FDA regulations, litigation. The government is on your back, blocking progress: rapid necessary progress. In order to throw a flying tackle on fatal diseases like cancer, heart disease, and even aging, you need to free the geniuses of society.”
Billionaires Who Want to Live Forever
Hamilton notes that Jeff Bezos himself said the number one thing he wants to be known for is “being the oldest person alive.” These powerful individuals have the resources to accelerate longevity research: but current regulatory structures prevent the rapid progress needed to achieve biological immortality within their lifetimes.
“When the illusion pollution leaves their brains and they start getting deprogrammed, they’re going to see the logic. A purely free territory would immediately become the medical mecca of the world because medical companies would immigrate there to get the government off their back.”
The Prime Law: Foundation of True Freedom
The Prime Law
The constitutional foundation of Immortalis that removes all initiatory force from government and society. Under the Prime Law, no person or group: including government: may initiate force against any individual. This means no forced taxation, no regulatory coercion, and government limited strictly to protection of individual rights.
“Bureaucratic regulations are, for the most part, initiatory force for some political agenda,” Hamilton explains. “We’re talking about removing all forms of initiatory force. Therefore you can’t force people to pay their taxes.”
How would government fund itself? Through voluntary contribution. In a society where everyone lives like a multi-millionaire due to the freed economy, people willingly pay a 10% tithe to maintain the system that made them wealthy.
“We’ve never experienced capitalism. Everyone says, ‘Oh, we’ve had capitalism in America.’ No, we’ve never had it because we’ve always had initiatory force in the ruling class. Pure capitalism is simply removal: removing the force. We’ve never had that.”
Mark Hamilton on true economic freedom
Why Crime Would Disappear in a Free Society
Wealth Removes Motivation
The number one cause of crime is the need for money. When everyone lives like a multi-millionaire due to the freed economy, the primary motivation for crime disappears entirely.
Swift and Certain Justice
When protection is government’s only purpose, any crime is dealt with swiftly and effectively: deterring anyone who might consider it. No more bloated bureaucracy slowing down justice.
Equal Protection for All
The Prime Law protects the smallest minority: the individual. No more identity politics or group favoritism. Equal protection for all eliminates the divisions that breed conflict.
How to Apply These Insights
Whether or not specific government efficiency initiatives succeed, the underlying principles Hamilton identifies remain valid:
See Through Political Illusions
Stop evaluating policies by who proposes them. Ask instead: Does this increase or decrease government power over people’s lives?
Recognize the Cult Pattern
When you feel emotionally attached to political outcomes, ask: Who benefits from this emotional investment? Usually it’s the ruling class, not you.
Support Deregulation
Every regulation removed is money returned to productive use. Support efforts to eliminate bureaucratic overhead wherever possible.
Prepare for Phase Two
As people see the benefits of reduced government, they become more receptive to complete freedom. Be ready to help others understand what’s possible.
Regardless of which party holds power, the principle remains: less government means more prosperity. The computer revolution proved it. Now the question is whether humanity will apply that lesson to all of society: or continue serving the cult of the ruling class.
Frequently asked questions
What is DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency)?
DOGE is a government efficiency initiative announced in late 2024, led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. Its stated goal is reducing federal spending by up to $2 trillion annually through eliminating wasteful bureaucracy and regulations. Mark Hamilton sees this as “Phase One” toward a freer society.
How does reducing government size benefit ordinary people?
When government shrinks, people keep more money (less taxation), face fewer regulations on their businesses and lives, and benefit from increased economic productivity. Hamilton points to the computer revolution as proof: when government couldn’t regulate the industry, costs dropped 1,000-fold.
What is Immortalis?
Immortalis is a new country founded by Mark Hamilton, currently operating as a digital network state with plans to acquire physical territory within 10 years. It operates under the Prime Law with no politicians, no bureaucratic regulations, and no forced taxation: only a voluntary 10% tithe for protection services.
Why does Mark Hamilton call government a cult?
Hamilton defines a cult as controlling people’s lives through mind manipulation for the benefit of leaders. Government fits this definition: it controls citizens from childhood through education and regulations, manipulates through “illusion pollution” (propaganda and false promises), and enriches politicians who enter poor and leave wealthy.
What is the Prime Law?
The Prime Law is the constitutional foundation of Immortalis that removes all initiatory force from government and society. It means no forced taxation, no regulatory coercion, and government limited strictly to protecting individual rights. Under the Prime Law, the smallest minority: the individual: is fully protected.
How would a purely free economy affect healthcare?
Without FDA regulations and bureaucratic delays, medical research could advance at “computer revolution” speed. Hamilton argues a free territory would become the medical mecca of the world, attracting genius researchers to pursue cures for aging, cancer, and other diseases without government interference.
Why would crime disappear in a free society?
Hamilton identifies three factors: (1) The primary cause of crime: need for money: disappears when everyone is wealthy, (2) With protection as government’s only purpose, justice becomes swift and certain, deterring potential criminals, and (3) Equal protection under the Prime Law eliminates the divisions that breed conflict.
