Under the Biden administration, a \u201cwhole of government<\/a>\u201c approach was taken to run the government in several areas such as climate<\/a> change, energy, environment, and many others<\/a>. A major focus was the U.S. Global Health Security Strategy (GHSS<\/a>) with an emphasis on preventing and responding to infectious disease<\/a>. Federal agencies collectively perceived themselves serving as the \u201cnation\u2019s largest employer and largest buyer\u201d, and early on the administration<\/a> set out to \u201cadvance racial equity\u201d using the whole of government approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some described<\/a> this whole of government approach as trying \u201cto make every policy comply with goals on climate change and social justice\u201d. In reality, it was a massive overhaul<\/a> of all federal agencies<\/a> to insert not only social justice but also other ideologies into government policies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just pick an issue and every federal agency had to be on board with it. As an example, back in 2023, the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) wanted to involve 13 federal agencies in preventing fires (pg 2<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this doesn\u2019t provide an explanation of the whole of government approach. And now that Biden is gone concern about it should diminish, but that would be misleading. Understanding this approach is important even today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whole of government actually originates from the United Nations (UN), surprise, surprise. Back in 2014 the UN defined<\/a> it as \u201cagencies working across portfolio boundaries to jointly achieve integrated responses to the issues of policy development, program management and service delivery\u201d, and \u201cintegrated approaches to sustainable development\u201d. Clearly, it is intended<\/a> to \u201ctransform the way the government works for the people.\u201d This approach has already infested<\/a> many countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal<\/a> of course is to integrate<\/a> the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Some of the framework can already be seen here in the U.S. (pg 8<\/a>) through the language itself. Data collection and management, especially with artificial intelligence and data centers, digitalization<\/a> of all information, and the fascist public-private-partnerships are just a few steps already in progress within the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of this integration is to \u201ctransform behavior\u201d (pg 11<\/a>) and utilize \u201cStrategies and action plan to change mindsets through re-phrasing limiting beliefs into beliefs aligned with the 2030 Agenda\u201d. Language today has been altered to include such terms as sustainability, sexual orientation, pronoun use, and equity. How many beliefs have been changed because of this \u201cre-phrasing\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn’t appear that this UN design<\/a> of our government has disappeared with the Trump administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth<\/a> has called for a whole of government approach to China and illegal immigration<\/a> which Vice President Vance supported<\/a>. The now fired<\/a> Director of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, promised a \u201cwhole-of-government approach\u201d (pg 3<\/a>) as potential Director. Hmm, that didn\u2019t work out so well for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Associated Press even noted<\/a> that President Trump has implemented a whole of government approach regarding immigration enforcement, with multiple federal agencies being involved such as the Department of Defense, Department of Justice, Internal Revenue Service, Department of Labor, and now the supposedly defunct Department of Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine what the weight of the full federal government bearing down on one citizen might be like if targeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The federal government, even with this new administration is still so lost. In an effort to rid the whole of government approach<\/a> in the U.S. Department of State, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced<\/a> changes that includes securing the border, replacing DEI with meritocracy, eliminating divisive diplomacy, stopping censorship, ending climate policies, and reviewing all foreign aid funding. How about just following the Constitution?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As can be seen, this whole of government approach continues to be in play, even though there is some thought Trump is now supposedly reversing<\/a> it. That is questionable as he supported<\/a> it in his first term and seems to continue<\/a> using it. Maybe the whole thing wasn’t even started by Biden after all. It may no longer be about social justice or climate change, but is now focused on immigration and eliminating those social justice and climate policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The issue isn’t what issue is being focused upon, the issue is the way in which the government is operating, way outside of Constitutional limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For almost one hundred years, and perhaps longer, Presidents have rejected the Constitution by restructuring the government with such policies as The New Deal<\/a>, The Great Society<\/a>, and Reinventing Government<\/a> which was intended to reduce the government size and make it more efficient. That last one must not have been successful as the same attempts<\/a> to reduce the government size are being made today. None of these empty talk policies followed the Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the general principle remains the same, integrating multiple federal agencies to focus on one issue. The centralization of power between federal agencies is a concerning trajectory. For now, there is support for the issues such as addressing illegal immigration, eliminating climate change directives, and removing social justice ideologies in government policies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it may not always be those issues and could easily revert to a whole of government approach requiring a digital ID or forced mandates such as were seen during Covid-19. The weight of the federal government is already felt by most citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole of government approach continues, consolidating power and control throughout federal agencies. With the recent introduction of interoperability<\/a> between agencies, the ability to consolidate that control has been taken to new heights and more consolidated data on every American. Yes, the whole of government approach needs to be understood and monitored by citizens as a Constitutional violation, one of many.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
