DOGE Ended my Job, Thank You!

We All must Sacrifice if the Children are to have a Beautiful American Future

How I was DOGE’d

On Friday, 02/21/2025, at 10 a.m. my company called an “all-hands” (all 12 of us) meeting to inform us we had been DOGE’d. The DOGE representative at the government bureau where I worked as a contractor ended our contract with the federal government “immediately” and so we were all terminated.

Although I worked on the cybersecurity strategies task order to protect our Gulf of America oil and gas platforms, my task order was part of a larger contract that included a “green” wind turbine task order, a “social justice” task order, and a support task order. So, my company leadership was told by the DOGE representative that we were terminated that day and “would be informed if anything changes.” In other words, our jobs were over.

My Reaction to being DOGE’d

Obviously, it was a punch in the gut to be working one day and gone the next, but this is different than the usual job termination. In effect, my sacrifice is part of a larger sacrifice by millions of Americans to right the ship of state so we all have a better life. And I’m good with that.

There will be no American Tactical Civil Defense or future for my children and grandchildren if there is no America. God knows the Communist Chinese Party and globalists in the U.S. and abroad are relentless in carrying out their plans to take us down. So, extreme threats require extreme counterstrategies.

So, thank you DOGE, for having the vision and courage to identify my job and thousands of others for termination so all Americans have a chance at a better future by defeating those globalist plans by taking back the trillions of tax money that has been financing their coordinated collectivist communist programs.

Just a Few Projects Identified as Problematic by DOGE

Having read for weeks the level of corruption of billions and billions being shoveled into anti-science, anti-biological, anti-God, evil, perverse, anti-American programs, projects, and non-governmental organizations all aimed at destroying the future of the American Republic, I was well aware of the larger danger DOGE is identifying and eliminating.

For the past few weeks, day after day it has been revealed the level of theft of American tax payer money on projects we would never support if we knew they were being funded with our hard earned tax money. To review, here are just a few.

1. $20 Million for a Sesame Street Show in Iraq. Funding for a localized version of "Sesame Street" to promote education and social values in Iraq..

2. $1.5 Million for LGBTQ+ Advocacy in Jamaica. Support for diversity and inclusion initiatives targeting the LGBTQ+ community.

3. $5.5 Million for LGBTQ+ Advocacy in Uganda. Similar to the Jamaica project, aimed at advancing inclusion in a country with strict anti-gay laws.

4. $6 Million for Tourism Promotion in Egypt. To boost tourism, including water, education, and transportation aid in North Sinai.

5. $19 Million for "Inclusion" in Vietnam. Funding to promote social inclusion, possibly tied to electric vehicle initiatives.

6. $5 Million to EcoHealth Alliance. Grants to an NGO linked to bat virus research at the Wuhan lab, tied to broader COVID-19 origin debates.

7. $1.5 Million for DEI in Serbia. Funding to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in Serbian workplaces and businesses.

8. $70,000 for a DEI Musical in Ireland. Support for a musical promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.

9. $47,020 for a Transgender Opera in Colombia. For a performance of "As One," featuring a transgender protagonist.

10. $655 Million EVAL-ME II Contract. A monitoring and evaluation contract intended to oversee USAID projects globally. It was a slush fund with misclassified indefinite-delivery contracts inflating savings claims by $2 billion.

11. Funding to Hamas-Linked Groups in Gaza. Direct funding to groups with ties to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization.

12. $60 Million to EcoHealth Alliance. Expanded accusation of funding to EcoHealth, beyond the $5 million cited elsewhere, linked to Wuhan lab research.

13. $42 Million for Social and Behavior Changes in Uganda

14. $70 Million for Research on Development Challenges

15. $10 Million for Medical Male Circumcision in Mozambique

16. $2 Million for Moroccan Pottery Classes

17. $2 Million for Tourism Promotion in Lebanon

18. USAID has funded (bought) over 6,200 journalists across over 700 media outlets and media NGOs (non-governmental organizations), propagandizing them to support their activities. That includes over 90% of the reporting out of Ukraine. That includes outlets like Politico, the Associated Press, and the BBC. Independent press and freedom of speech in the UK and Europe is almost dead, as Vice President J. D. Vance at the Munich Security Conference on February 14, 2025 pointed out.

19. $2 million to Guatemala for sex changes and LGBT activism.

20. Hundreds of millions of dollars went for farm machinery, fertilizer, and building irrigation canals in Afghanistan to support their poppy cultivation and heroin production. All to benefit the Taliban.

21. Hundreds of millions of dollars to charities with ties to terrorist organizations, including Hamas, and their supporters.

I could go on and on, but you get the point.

The best DOGE estimates are that this secret theft of American’s taxpayer money amounts to approximately $2 trillion dollars!!! If my children and grandchildren are to have a future, this theft must be identified and cut out like the cancer it is on the American body politic. So, I am more than willing to suffer the loss of a job to save tax payer money and find a new job to bring in an American golden age.

My Future Plans

Technical and proposal writers, like construction workers, are hired when there is a project to complete and fired when it is over. That has been my career. A week ago, I, along with thousands of others and more to come, have been DOGE’d. The reality is, I am looking for another work opportunity. I am applying on line for other technical writing and proposal writing positions.

"Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house." Matthew 5:15

This is part of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, where he encourages his followers not to hide their light (their faith, good works, or talents) but to let it shine for others to see and benefit from. The "bushel" refers to a basket or container that would cover and obscure the light, while placing it on a candlestick elevates it to illuminate the surroundings.

In addition to applying online, in the spirit of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount about shining light on talent, I offer my short resume below. Most people feel shame when they lose their job and often keep it to themselves. But the best tactic is to tell everyone. You never know where a job will come from.
