The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government

The same left-wing dark money foundations that supported the anti-Israel protests are funding a radical cabal, manipulating the administrative state on education, unions, transgender orthodoxy, elections, and the weaponization of law enforcement to silence their critics.

Why did the Biden White House celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday? Why is the bureaucracy prioritizing electric vehicles and less reliable forms of energy when Americans struggle to pay the bills amid historic inflation and higher gas prices?

America’s bureaucrats appear to live on a different planet from the working class in this country, and that’s no accident. The Woketopus explains how America’s elites are pulling the strings in Washington to prioritize their pet projects over the needs of the American people. O’Neil’s prose reveals how the left’s NGO apparatus pursues its woke agenda, maneuvering like an octopus by circumventing Congress and entrenching its interests in the federal government.

Discover how the donors who helped prop up the anti-Israel protests on college campuses are impacting policy in Washington; pull back the curtain on how federal agencies became engines of cultural change; and find out how the Left’s dark money influences federal law enforcement to demonize conservatives in an attempt to silence anyone who wants to criticize this agenda.

“Tyler O’Neil, talented when he was a college student, has now immersed himself in the troubled civic affairs of our time. In this insightful analysis, he has compared the contemporary distortions of our Constitution against its text and its proper and hallowed operation. If your eyes are closed, it will open them. At the end, Tyler recommends what to do. I hope we do it.” —Dr. Larry Arnn, President of Hillsdale College

“Tyler O’Neil’s book The Woketopus provides a definitive account of how the Left’s vast patronage network funds the woke pressure groups manipulating the administrative state. O’Neil pulls back the curtain on how America’s elites promote far-left ideologies like Critical Race Theory using the federal government, and how to combat this effort. This book will be a useful guide as the next conservative administration seeks to reign in the sprawling, radical bureaucracy of the federal government.” —Christopher F. Rufo
