To save America also requires similar ultra-local level organizing, but for the common good versus for some kind of deranged sociopathic power grab agenda whose endgame was hyper-centralized control.<\/p>\n<p>Alinksy preached that provocations, lies and manipulations of the target demographics that the community (dis)organizer was social engineering were the main means in achieving his desired Neo-Marxist outcomes, setting his sights on the \u201cghetto\u201d and minorities convincing these demographics that they were being \u201chelped\u201d while in reality they were being egregiously used for political ends, by any means necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Back in the late 60s and early 70s, Alinsky found himself in excellent company as the convergence of American radicalism was merging with domestic terror outfits like the Weather Underground (see: Bill Ayers), crazed Columbia University ivory tower socialists in Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven who cooked up the destroy-American-from-within Cloward-Piven Strategy, et al.<\/p>\n<p>All of these forces, which while not exactly dormant for all of those decades, were slowly gathering momentum and mass acceptance are now being amplified and accelerated in the color revolution hastening of the destruction of what little is left of this Constitutional Republic.<\/p>\n<p>Alinksy had a profound understanding of reality inversion, as do all of his disciples.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the most succinct encapsulation of his approach to bring down the USA:<\/p>\n<div class=\"captioned-image-container\">\n<figure>\n<div

around at modern politics and thought, why does everything feel manipulative, divisive, and engineered, you are not crazy.<\/p>\n<p>The rot did not appear overnight. It was taught. It was studied. It was implemented deliberately. And one of the most important architects of that mindset was Saul Alinsky.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a conspiracy theory. This is history.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header-anchor-post\"><strong>Who Saul Alinsky Really Was<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Alinsky was a Chicago-based community organizer who believed power never concedes willingly and must be taken through pressure, disruption, and psychological warfare. He was not interested in unity. He was interested in results. His worldview treated society as a battlefield between the Haves and the Have-Nots, where ethics were flexible and truth was optional if it stood in the way of victory.<\/p>\n<p>His 1971 book\u00a0<em>Rules for Radicals<\/em>\u00a0was written as a tactical manual for activists. It was not about building a republic. It was about dismantling existing systems so something else could replace them.<\/p>\n<p>That distinction matters.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header-anchor-post\"><strong>Why Rules for Radicals Still Matters<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Alinsky\u2019s rules are simple, brutal, and effective. They are designed to destabilize, polarize, and exhaust opponents until resistance collapses.<\/p>\n<p>A few examples you will immediately recognize in modern politics:<\/p>\n<p>Ridicule is the most powerful weapon.<br \/>\nMake the enemy live up to their own rules.<br \/>\nPick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.<br \/>\nKeep the pressure on. Never let up.<\/p>\n<p>Sound familiar?<\/p>\n<p>These tactics explain why debate has been replaced with mockery, why institutions are attacked instead of arguments, and why dissenters are dehumanized rather than engaged. This is not accidental. It is Alinsky\u2019s playbook playing out in real time.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header-anchor-post\"><strong>Alinsky\u2019s Rules for Radicals:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Here is the playbook, stripped of academic bs and translated into real world terms. Once you read this, you will never unsee it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Power is not just what you have, it is what your opponent thinks you have<\/strong><br \/>\nPerception matters more than reality. If you can convince people you are strong, numerous, or morally righteous, you gain leverage even if it is exaggerated.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Never go outside the experience of your own people<\/strong><br \/>\nKeep your activists operating in spaces where they feel confident. Comfort builds boldness. Uncertainty breeds hesitation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Always push your opponent outside their experience<\/strong><br \/>\nForce them into unfamiliar territory. Confusion leads to mistakes. Mistakes can be weaponized.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make the enemy live by their own rules<\/strong><br \/>\nUse their stated values against them. Demand perfection while granting none. Hypocrisy accusations are devastating when selectively applied.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ridicule is your most powerful weapon<\/strong><br \/>\nMockery works because it demoralizes, delegitimizes, and shuts down debate. You cannot easily defend yourself against laughter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A tactic must be fun for your people<\/strong><br \/>\nIf the activists enjoy it, they will keep showing up. Emotional satisfaction matters more than logic.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A tactic that drags on too long becomes ineffective<\/strong><br \/>\nRotate outrage. Keep the conflict fresh. Exhaustion kills movements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep constant pressure on the target<\/strong><br \/>\nNever allow breathing room. Every pause is a chance for recovery or reflection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The threat is often more terrifying than the action itself<\/strong><br \/>\nFear works better than execution. Anticipation destabilizes opponents before anything even happens.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maintain continuous operations<\/strong><br \/>\nMultiple fronts. Multiple crises. No resolution. Overwhelm until resistance collapses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Push negativity until it flips<\/strong><br \/>\nAccuse relentlessly. Eventually the accusation becomes the truth in the public mind, regardless of evidence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Always claim to offer a constructive alternative<\/strong><br \/>\nEven if it is vague or unworkable, you must pretend to be building something better to justify destruction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pick a target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it<\/strong><br \/>\nReduce complex systems to a villain. Make everything about that person or group. Dehumanize them so opposition feels righteous.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is not activism.<br \/>\nThis is psychological warfare applied to politics.<\/p>\n<p>Once you understand these rules, you can see them everywhere. Media cycles. Protest movements. Cancel campaigns. Institutional takedowns. Even the language people use now.<\/p>\n<p>Alinsky did not just write a book.<br \/>\nHe handed future radicals a map.<\/p>\n<p>And much of modern America is following it step by step.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header-anchor-post\"><strong>Alinsky and Hitler: Same Dark Playbook<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"pencraft pc-display-flex pc-alignItems-center pc-position-absolute pc-reset header-anchor-parent\">\n<div class=\"pencraft pc-display-contents pc-reset pubTheme-yiXxQA\">\n<p>Alinsky openly studied Hitler\u2019s tactics and acknowledged their effectiveness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>That matters.<\/p>\n<p>Alinsky\u2019s framework is about power, not morality.<\/p>\n<p>In the introduction to\u00a0<em>Rules for Radicals<\/em>, Alinsky references Lucifer as the first radical and makes clear that his work is about how power is seized, held, and used, not whether the cause itself is righteous. He was brutally honest about this.<\/p>\n<p>Hitler was one of the most effective mass manipulators in history. Not because his ideas were good, but because his methods worked.<\/p>\n<p>Alinsky understood that.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header-anchor-post\"><strong>The Tactical Overlap<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Here is where Hitler and Alinsky intersect.<\/p>\n<p>Both relied on:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Polarization of society<br \/>\n\u2022 Dehumanization of opponents<br \/>\n\u2022 Ridicule and mockery to weaken resistance<br \/>\n\u2022 Narrative control through repetition<br \/>\n\u2022 Turning institutions against themselves<br \/>\n\u2022 Framing dissent as immoral or dangerous<br \/>\n\u2022 Mobilizing grievance and resentment<br \/>\n\u2022 Forcing people to pick sides<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header-anchor-post\"><strong>Hitler Used the Playbook Before It Had a Name<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Hitler\u2019s rise followed a pattern that should look painfully familiar:<\/p>\n<p>He identified enemies.<br \/>\nHe personalized blame.<br \/>\nHe froze targets into symbols.<br \/>\nHe mocked, shamed, and isolated dissenters.<br \/>\nHe used constant pressure and chaos.<br \/>\nHe framed himself as the only moral solution.<\/p>\n<p>That is not an accident.<\/p>\n<p>Those steps align directly with Alinsky\u2019s rules, especially:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Rule 4: Make the enemy live up to their own rules<br \/>\n\u2022 Rule 5: Ridicule is man\u2019s most potent weapon<br \/>\n\u2022 Rule 8: Keep the pressure on<br \/>\n\u2022 Rule 13: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it<\/p>\n<p>Alinsky did not invent evil. He codified it.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header-anchor-post\"><strong>The Difference That Matters<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Hitler used these tactics for genocide and totalitarian control.<br \/>\nAlinsky argued they could be used by the powerless to fight entrenched systems.<\/p>\n<p>But tactics do not have morality.<\/p>\n<p>The heart of the person using them does.<\/p>\n<p>Once you justify lying, manipulation, humiliation, and dehumanization for a \u201cgreater good,\u201d you are standing on the same slope every totalitarian regime stood on before it fell into mass cruelty.<\/p>\n<p>When you see:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Protest movements built on ridicule and mob pressure<br \/>\n\u2022 Political opponents treated as subhuman<br \/>\n\u2022 Speech framed as violence<br \/>\n\u2022 Law used selectively<br \/>\n\u2022 Institutions weaponized<br \/>\n\u2022 Truth treated as flexible<br \/>\n\u2022 Ends always justifying means<\/p>\n<p>You are not watching democracy.<\/p>\n<p>You are watching the early mechanics of authoritarianism, whether it comes wrapped in nationalism or socialism.<\/p>\n<p>Hitler showed us where that road ends.<\/p>\n<p>Alinsky showed future activists how to walk it faster.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header-anchor-post\"><strong>The Political Lineage No One Wants to Talk About<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Hillary Clinton openly wrote her college thesis on Alinsky and praised his methods. Barack Obama worked as a community organizer in Chicago within organizations influenced by Alinsky\u2019s Industrial Areas Foundation model and taught organizing tactics rooted in the same philosophy. These are documented facts, not speculation.<\/p>\n<p>You do not have to believe every politician who studied Alinsky is evil to understand this. You only need to recognize that ideas shape behavior, and Alinsky\u2019s ideas were never compatible with a constitutional republic built on limited government and individual liberty.<\/p>\n<p>His framework views people as tools, not citizens.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header-anchor-post\"><strong>Who Studied, Praised, or Applied Alinsky\u2019s Playbook:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is where things stop being theoretical and start being uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<p>Saul Alinsky did not write Rules for Radicals in a vacuum. His ideas were taught, studied, praised, and operationalized. Some openly embraces him. Others absorb his tactics through institutions and movements shaped by his framework.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hillary Clinton<\/strong><br \/>\nHillary Clinton wrote her 1969 senior thesis at Wellesley College on Saul Alinsky titled \u201cThere Is Only the Fight: An Analysis of the Alinsky Model.\u201d She interviewed Alinsky, corresponded with him, and praised his organizing methods. Alinsky even offered her a job, which she declined. While Clinton later distanced herself rhetorically, her early admiration and study of his work are not disputed and are well documented.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Barack Obama<\/strong><br \/>\nBefore politics, Obama worked as a community organizer in Chicago in the 1980s with groups modeled on Alinsky\u2019s Industrial Areas Foundation approach. He taught Alinsky-style organizing principles in workshops and trainings. Obama has acknowledged this background, framing it as pragmatic community engagement. Critics argue his campaigns and governing style reflected Alinsky\u2019s tactics of pressure, polarization, and narrative control.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta<\/strong><br \/>\nLeaders of the United Farm Workers, Chavez and Huerta worked directly with Alinsky and applied his organizing methods. This is undisputed and often cited even by progressive historians. Their labor movement became one of the most successful real-world implementations of Alinsky\u2019s framework.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jesse Jackson<\/strong><br \/>\nJackson\u2019s organizing and protest strategies during the civil rights era were influenced by Alinsky\u2019s model of pressure politics and coalition-based confrontation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ralph Nader<\/strong><br \/>\nNader\u2019s consumer advocacy campaigns reflected Alinsky-style tactics, especially targeting corporations, personalizing blame, and applying sustained public pressure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Industrial Areas Foundation<\/strong><br \/>\nFounded by Alinsky in 1940, the IAF trained generations of organizers. Many modern activist organizations trace their lineage directly or indirectly to this model.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Progressive activist networks<\/strong><br \/>\nMovements such as Occupy Wall Street, climate activism groups, and modern protest organizations frequently mirror Alinsky\u2019s rules whether consciously or not. Ridicule, polarization, constant pressure, and personalized targets are central features.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The modern Democratic ground game<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile not every Democrat is an Alinsky devotee, grassroots mobilization strategies used in recent decades align closely with his principles. This includes narrative framing, social pressure campaigns, and institutional disruption.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tim Walz<\/strong><br \/>\nSome critics argue Walz\u2019s rhetoric and political strategies reflect Alinsky-style tactics, but there is no documented personal study or endorsement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[2SG: actually, here is some proof\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"digestPostEmbed-flwiST\" data-component-name=\"DigestPostEmbed\">\n<div class=\"pencraft pc-display-flex pc-flexDirection-column pc-reset\">\n<h2 class=\"pencraft pc-reset color-pub-primary-text-NyXPlw line-height-36-XIK16z font-display-nhmvtD size-30-tZAWf_ weight-bold-DmI9lw reset-IxiVJZ\">Background Check for Tonight&#8217;s VP Debate: Tim Walz and the Chinese Communist Party<\/h2>\n<div class=\"pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-4 pc-alignItems-center pc-reset\">\n<div class=\"pencraft pc-reset color-pub-secondary-text-hGQ02T line-height-20-t4M0El font-meta-MWBumP size-11-NuY2Zx weight-medium-fw81nC transform-uppercase-yKDgcq reset-IxiVJZ meta-EgzBVA\"><a class=\"inheritColor-WetTGJ\" href=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/profile\/40525631-2nd-smartest-guy-in-the-world\">2nd Smartest Guy in the World<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"pencraft pc-reset color-pub-secondary-text-hGQ02T line-height-20-t4M0El font-meta-MWBumP size-11-NuY2Zx weight-medium-fw81nC transform-uppercase-yKDgcq reset-IxiVJZ meta-EgzBVA\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"pencraft pc-display-flex pc-flexDirection-column pc-reset\">\n<h5><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48989\" src=\"http:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/34058a7c-583d-4b64-a23c-b3162f7998cd_1064x1363.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1064\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/34058a7c-583d-4b64-a23c-b3162f7998cd_1064x1363.webp 1064w, https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/34058a7c-583d-4b64-a23c-b3162f7998cd_1064x1363-300x183.webp 300w, https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/34058a7c-583d-4b64-a23c-b3162f7998cd_1064x1363-1024x626.webp 1024w, https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/34058a7c-583d-4b64-a23c-b3162f7998cd_1064x1363-768x469.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1064px) 100vw, 1064px\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 1em;\">America is in the final stages of a longstanding radical Marxist takeover, which is precisely why a lifelong Chinese Communist Party loser like Tim Walz was selected as the Democratic Party vice presidential candidate.<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>\u2026that Waltz is a radical Marxist CCP asset.]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ilhan Omar<\/strong><br \/>\nOmar\u2019s activist language and confrontation-based politics are often compared to Alinsky\u2019s framework by critics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The broader Democratic Party<\/strong><br \/>\nDavid Alinsky, Saul Alinsky\u2019s son, stated publicly that Obama\u2019s campaigns reflected his father\u2019s methods. That claim is debated, but it reinforces the argument that the tactics outlived the man and became embedded in political culture.<\/p>\n<p>Not everyone on the left sat down and read Rules for Radicals.<\/p>\n<p>That is not how ideological infiltration works.<\/p>\n<p>Ideas spread through institutions, training programs, activist culture, media reinforcement, and political incentives. You do not need to worship Alinsky to use his tactics. You just need to believe the ends justify the means.<\/p>\n<p>And that is the danger.<\/p>\n<p>Because once politics becomes about power at any cost, truth becomes optional, morality becomes negotiable, and the republic becomes expendable.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header-anchor-post\"><strong>From Alinsky to Davos<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Fast forward to today and look at the World Economic Forum crowd in Davos. The same disdain for ordinary people. The same obsession with control. The same belief that elites should decide how everyone else lives.<\/p>\n<p>They lecture you about sustainability while flying private jets. They shame you for your carbon footprint while indulging in moral decay behind closed doors. They talk about equity while treating working people as expendable resources.<\/p>\n<p>This is Alinsky\u2019s worldview refined and scaled globally.<\/p>\n<p>Power justifies itself. Ends justify means. People are managed, not respected.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header-anchor-post\"><strong>Epstein Was Not an Outlier<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This mindset also explains why scandals like Epstein exist at all. When elites stop seeing people as human beings and start seeing them as commodities, exploitation becomes inevitable. Epstein did not operate in a vacuum. He operated in a culture where powerful people believed rules did not apply to them and accountability was for others.<\/p>\n<p>And notice what never happens.<\/p>\n<p>No real justice.<br \/>\nNo real accountability.<br \/>\nJust endless delays, sealed files, and institutional silence.<\/p>\n<p>That is not failure. That is design.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header-anchor-post\"><strong>Why This Always Ends the Same Way<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Every socialist or communist movement starts the same way. Divide the population. Undermine trust. Attack institutions. Mock tradition. Rewrite language. Then centralize power in the name of fairness.<\/p>\n<p>History is brutally consistent on this point.<\/p>\n<p>And once justice disappears, unrest follows. People sense the imbalance even if they cannot articulate it. That is why streets burn while criminals walk free. That is why January 6 defendants rot in jail while powerful offenders skate. That is why ICE agents are attacked while NGOs post bail for rioters.<\/p>\n<p>A society without justice cannot survive.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header-anchor-post\"><strong>A Necessary Line in the Sand<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is the part Tom Renz always makes very clear when he talks about Saul Alinsky, and it matters.<\/p>\n<p>We do not become them.<\/p>\n<p>We do not lie.<br \/>\nWe do not cheat.<br \/>\nWe do not steal.<br \/>\nWe do not abandon truth to win arguments.<\/p>\n<p>We do not fight evil by participating in it.<\/p>\n<p>But here is the hard truth that too many good people avoid saying out loud.<\/p>\n<p>You cannot defeat an enemy you refuse to understand.<\/p>\n<p>Alinsky\u2019s rules are not a suggestion for how we should behave. They are a diagnostic tool. A way to see the battlefield clearly. A way to recognize when you are being manipulated, mocked, cornered, and psychologically disarmed.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, the radical left is not playing checkers. They are not even playing chess. They are running coordinated psychological operations using media, culture, lawfare, ridicule, and manufactured outrage.<\/p>\n<p>And too many on our side are still pretending this is a polite debate.<\/p>\n<p>You do not bring a knife to a gunfight.<br \/>\nYou do not bring civility to a propaganda war.<br \/>\nAnd you do not defeat a movement built on deception by refusing to call it out.<\/p>\n<p>Fighting back does not mean becoming immoral. It means becoming awake.<\/p>\n<p>It means understanding the tactics being used against you so you stop falling for them. It means refusing to be shamed into silence. It means exposing manipulation instead of absorbing it. It means standing firmly in truth while refusing to be psychologically bullied.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus did not ignore evil. He confronted it directly.<\/p>\n<p>If you do not understand how your enemy thinks, you will always be reacting instead of leading. And reaction is exactly where Alinsky wants you.<\/p>\n<p>So the question is not whether you should adopt these tactics.<\/p>\n<p>The question is this:<\/p>\n<p>Now that you see what is being done to you, what are you going to fight back with?<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header-anchor-post\"><strong>The Only Way Out<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This does not end with better messaging or nicer rhetoric. It ends with citizens who recognize the tactics and refuse to play along.<\/p>\n<p>We do not beat Alinsky by becoming him. We beat him by exposing the game, telling the truth, and grounding ourselves in the Constitution, objective reality, and moral clarity.<\/p>\n<p>Evil thrives in confusion. It dies in the light.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to understand how we got here, start with Saul Alinsky. If you want to stop where this is going, stop pretending this is normal.<\/p>\n<p>It is not.<\/p>\n<p>And it does not happen here unless we allow it.<\/p>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<p>Except that we are in the midst of a military-grade color revolution that is incorporating many Alinksy strategies and methods, with a large enough group of brainwashed and radicalized useful idiots playing right into this destruction of American from within psyop.<\/p>\n<p>Do NOT comply.<\/p>\n<p>____<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com\/p\/color-revolution-origins-why-the?\">https:\/\/www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com\/p\/color-revolution-origins-why-the?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48981","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=48981"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48981\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=48981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=48981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=48981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
