We the People — Est. 1776 (Spiritually)

The People's Guillotine

Accountability is not a luxury good. The ruling class won't police itself. History has entered the chat.

This country was born because a group of colonists decided that unchecked power was unacceptable. They didn't write a strongly worded letter to King George. They didn't start a petition on Change.org. They built a nation on the radical idea that the powerful answer to the people — not the other way around.

Somewhere between 1776 and now, that idea got lobbied out of existence. Today, members of Congress trade stocks on insider information and call it "public service." Billionaires buy elections and call it "free speech." The well-connected fly to private islands and the DOJ calls it "an ongoing investigation" — for decades.

The People's Guillotine exists because we remember what they've forgotten: that power without accountability is tyranny, no matter what flag it flies.

The Charges

A non-exhaustive list of why The People are angry

I

Congressional Insider Trading

Members of Congress consistently outperform the stock market. They trade on non-public information, pass laws that benefit their portfolios, and wrote themselves an exemption from insider trading laws for decades.

II

The Epstein Client List

A convicted sex trafficker with ties to presidents, princes, billionaires, and tech moguls. He died in federal custody under "suspicious circumstances." Years later, the full client list remains sealed. Ask yourself why.

III

Legalized Bribery

In America, we don't call it corruption — we call it "lobbying." Corporations spend billions annually to write the laws that govern us. Citizens United made corporations people. Actual people became an afterthought.

IV

Two-Tier Justice System

Steal $100 from a gas station: 5 years. Steal $100 billion from the economy: golden parachute and a book deal. Not a single major Wall Street executive went to prison for the 2008 financial crisis that destroyed millions of lives.

V

Regulatory Capture

The agencies meant to protect us are run by the industries they regulate. Former pharma execs run the FDA. Former bankers run the Treasury. The fox doesn't just guard the henhouse — he built it.

VI

Manufactured Division

Left vs. Right. Red vs. Blue. While we fight each other over culture wars, they quietly agree on one thing: protecting their own power and wealth. The real divide isn't horizontal — it's vertical. Us vs. Them.

From the American public record
"I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side."
— A very well-known American, 2002
From the American justice system
A federal prisoner under 24-hour surveillance in a maximum security facility somehow died by suicide while both guards were asleep and the cameras malfunctioned. Case closed.

Voices That Still Echo

What the founders and thinkers said then — and what still applies now

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
Thomas JeffersonLetter to William Stephens Smith, 1787
"When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich."
Jean-Jacques RousseauPhilosopher, 1712–1778
"I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations which dare already to challenge our government."
Thomas JeffersonLetter to George Logan, 1816
"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself."
Franklin D. RooseveltMessage to Congress, 1938
"We must make our choice. We may have democracy, or we may have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both."
Louis D. BrandeisSupreme Court Justice, 1916–1939
"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence by the military-industrial complex."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you were afraid to ask (they're counting on that)

Is this a real company?

Is Congress a real public service? Is the DOJ a real justice department? Is "trickle-down economics" a real economic theory? Some things exist more in concept than in practice. We're about as real as the accountability our institutions provide — which is to say, we're aspirational.

Are you threatening anyone?

Absolutely not. This is political satire in the grand American tradition — from Benjamin Franklin's biting pamphlets to Mark Twain to The Onion. The guillotine is a historical symbol of what happens when the ruling class pushes the people too far. If that makes you uncomfortable, ask yourself which side of the blade you identify with.

Why a guillotine?

Dr. Joseph-Ignace Guillotin actually proposed the device as a humane reform — before it, execution methods varied by social class. Nobles got the sword; commoners got the rope. The guillotine ensured equality. Everyone got the same treatment regardless of title, wealth, or connections. The metaphor writes itself.

Is this a left-wing or right-wing thing?

Neither. This is an up-vs-down thing. Left and right are what they use to keep us fighting each other while they rob us blind. Congressional insider trading isn't partisan. The Epstein client list isn't partisan. Corporate capture of government isn't partisan. The only side we're on is the people's side.

Can I actually buy one?

Our current inventory status: "Coming Soon." Which, coincidentally, is the same status the DOJ has given full Epstein accountability for the past several years. We're sure ours will ship first.

What if I'm on the list?

Then you already know our return policy doesn't apply to you. We recommend a good lawyer, a passport to a country without extradition, and perhaps reflecting on your life choices while there's still time to cooperate with actual authorities — assuming they ever ask.

How can I actually help?

Share this site. Talk about the things they don't want you to talk about. Vote in every election — especially local ones. Support independent journalism. Demand transparency from your representatives. And never, ever let them convince you that outrage is the same as extremism. Outrage is the appropriate response.
