The 1776 Prophesy

Introduction written by Danita Bye

With Executive Order 13958, issued on November 2, 2020, President Donald Trump established the 1776 Commission—also known as the 1776 Project—as an advisory committee to promote patriotic education. The moment I read the news, I was energized. I immediately began exploring how I might serve on the Commission. Unfortunately, by the time I looked into it, the members had already been selected, with Dr. Larry Arnn, President of Hillsdale College, appointed as chair of the prestigious team.

Then, on January 18, 2021—just two days before the end of President Trump's term—I was thrilled to learn that the Commission had released The 1776 Report.

However, that excitement quickly turned to deep disappointment. On January 20, 2021, his very first day in office, President Biden signed Executive Order 13985, which dissolved the 1776 Commission. It was one of the 17 executive orders he signed on Day One.

You can imagine, then, my immense gratitude and renewed hope when I learned on January 29, 2025, that President Trump’s new Executive Order, Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling, included a reestablishment of the President’s Advisory 1776 Commission.

The revived Commission not only recommits to the mission of promoting patriotic education outlined in the original Executive Order 13958, but also supports the efforts of the White House Task Force on Celebrating America’s 250th Birthday—“Task Force 250”—as well as the United States Semiquincentennial Commission. Together, they aim to deliver a celebration worthy of the momentous 250th anniversary of American Independence on July 4, 2026.

Our K–12 students desperately need to learn the true story of America’s founding. Knowledge of our past forms the foundation of our future. To stand against tyranny—whether from Big Government, Big Tech, or Big Oligarchy—“We the People” must understand the roots of our liberty and freedom.

My friends and family know how passionate I am about the 1776 Commission. In fact, my brother recently shared a Substack post by “EKO,” a creator whose work I’ve long admired. His thoughtful storytelling and artistic eye consistently spark meaningful reflection. I’ve dropped in on the “artist and bookmaker” from time to time—and I always find his perspective fresh and compelling. Plus, I love the artwork that supports each of the paragraphs.

The 1776 Prophecy

A Warning Written for Tomorrow

January 18th, 2021. 

The capital of the free world looked like a war zone. 

Armed troops patrolled empty streets. Barriers rose like steel forests. And in a quiet corner of the White House, someone uploaded forty-five pages to the government website. 

No ceremony. No press release. Just a document dropped into the digital void. 

"The 1776 Report" 

But Two days later, it vanished. 

 Scrubbed from official servers. 

Dismissed as propaganda. 

Lost in the chaos of transition. 

And yet, something survived. 

What most Americans never knew was that this wasn't just another government report. This was a diagnosis of what was killing the American spirit—and more importantly—a blueprint for its renewal. 

Written not for 2021, but for this exact moment in 2025, as things begin to change. 

"We have arrived at a point," it warned, "where the most influential part of our nation finds these old faith-based virtues dangerous, useless, or perhaps even laughable." 

Simple words. Surgical precision. Like a doctor naming a disease everyone felt but no one would acknowledge. 

The report mapped the pathology of American decline with cold clarity. First came the bureaucrats, moving without force or violence. 

Their weapon was more subtle: the quiet assumption that experts should rule citizens, that Washington knows better than communities, that freedom needs managing. 

Then came the deeper transformation. 

Not through force of arms, but through the capture of institutions. "Following Gramsci's strategy of taking control of the culture," the report revealed, "they impart an oppressor-victim narrative upon generations of Americans." 

The result? 

A new creed declaring America irredeemably flawed, dividing citizens into oppressors and oppressed. 

Schools became battlegrounds. 

Truth gave way to ideology. 

Debate surrendered to cancellation. 

But here's what made the report extraordinary: 

it mapped the exact pressure points where renewal would begin. 

Like a military assessment written for civilians like me. 

A battle plan disguised as historical analysis. 

"The facts of our founding," it declared, "are not partisan. They address the concerns of ALL Americans—every class, race, religion, and region. Properly understood, these facts resolve the concerns and fulfill the aspirations of our entire people." 

Critics called this empty rhetoric in 2021. 

They should have read more carefully. 

Those weren't just words. 

They were coordinates, marking exact points where American renewal would begin. 

And now, as dawn breaks over a changing nation, you see these coordinates becoming reality. 

Watch what's starting to happen across America. 

The report didn't just predict our crisis. 

It mapped the forces working to unmake our founding principles with a precision that now feels prophetic. Like a geologist identifying fault lines before an earthquake, it traced three deep fractures in American life. 

First came the Progressives, declaring America had outgrown its Constitution. "The software no longer fits the hardware," they claimed. 

But this wasn't about updating. 

It was about replacement. 

They didn't want to improve the system. 

They wanted to fundamentally transform it. 

The D E E P S T A T E grew like ivy over the republic's classical architecture. 

Unelected bureaucrats claimed the power to make rules, enforce them, and judge violations—exactly the combination of powers the founders warned against. 

Government by consent gave way to government by expertise. 

Then came Critical Theory, imported from Europe not to understand America, but to condemn it. Not studying history, but weaponizing it. 

Where the founders saw universal principles, these theorists saw only power relationships. Where the Declaration proclaimed human equality, they insisted on permanent group conflict. 

The result was identity politics. 

A new creed more dangerous than the old divisions it claimed to remedy. 

"It divides Americans into two groups," the report warned. "The more a group is considered oppressed, the more its members have a moral claim upon society. As for their supposed oppressors, they must atone forever." 

Most chillingly, the report exposed how this revolution would defend itself: not by winning arguments, but by preventing them from happening at all. Not through force of arms, but through the subtle power of institutional capture. The DS wouldn't just resist change. 

It would make change impossible. 

Unless someone was ready. Unless there was a plan. 

In 2021, they tried to bury this warning. But you can't bury truth forever. You can't cancel human nature. You can't stop an idea whose time has come. 

And now in 2025, that time has arrived. 

The sun rises early in Washington. Its first rays catch marble columns that have watched over the capital for centuries. But something's different in these opening weeks of 2025. Something electric. Something unstoppable. 

Inside those buildings and institutions being audited and gutted for the first time in forever, a forgotten report's prophecies are finally becoming reality. 

Look closer. 

The DS meeting its match in digital sunlight. 

Critical Theory crumbling against hard truth. 

Identity politics dissolving in the face of American renewal. 

Not through violence. Not through revolution. But through the quiet power of principles the report saw waiting to awaken. 

"All the good things we see around us," it declared, "from our highways to our freedoms—they come from American unity, stability, and justice. And those come from our founding principles." 

This wasn't just theory. This was the roadmap back to American greatness. 

Hidden in plain sight, waiting for the moment when a prepared people would rediscover their power. 

"As we approach the 250th anniversary of our independence," the report challenged, "we must resolve to teach future generations an accurate history of our country so that we all learn and cherish our founding principles once again." 

In 2021, they tried to delete those words. 

In 2025, those words are deleting the old order. 

That seed planted in winter's darkest hour? 

It's becoming something unstoppable: 

The reclaiming of American education. 

The restoration of American confidence. 

The renewal of American purpose. 

The sun continues rising over the city—not the district—of Washington. 

Ancient columns casting long shadows across marble steps. 

A forgotten document just wrote tomorrow's history.
