Or: How America Saved the Free World by Taking Back the Wafer

Washington, January 2026.
A historic moment. A very serious moment. A moment involving chips — not the snack kind, but the dangerous kind. The kind that power nations, control destinies, and absolutely cannot be trusted to anyone who does not deeply love America.

Somewhere between Delaware paperwork, New Jersey manufacturing, and global supply chains that nobody fully understands, something alarming happened:
A transaction. With technology. And China was mentioned.

And once China is mentioned, the conversation is no longer about business.
It is about national security, which automatically means everything is urgent, classified, and written in a very firm tone.

Section I: Findings — Or, Suspicion Is the Highest Form of Evidence

After extensive review, multiple briefings, and several presentations containing the words “potential risk” in bold font, it was determined that something might happen.

Not that it did.
Not that it will.
But that it could.

And in matters of national security, could is more than enough.

Digital chips — tiny, silent, impossible to explain at family dinners — are powerful. They think. They calculate. They remember. And if they are even remotely influenced by foreign interests, they may begin behaving… differently.

Possibly anti-American.
Possibly metric.
Possibly worse.

Existing laws were reviewed and politely dismissed as insufficiently dramatic. Something stronger was needed. Something executive.

Section II: The Prohibition — Or, This Deal Is Over, Tremendously Over

The transaction is hereby prohibited.
Not delayed.
Not reconsidered.
Prohibited.

Ownership, control, influence, indirect involvement, emotional attachment, or lingering enthusiasm for the transaction is no longer acceptable.

Every asset involved — contracts, inventory, equipment, intellectual property, ideas written on sticky notes — is now a matter of national concern.

American board members, however, remain perfectly fine.
Because when something is dangerous, it is usually only dangerous when it is foreign.

Section III: Divestment — Or, Undo Everything in 180 Days

HieFo is granted 180 days to reverse reality.

Within this time, everything must be divested.
Sold.
Returned.
Un-owned.

Whether this is practical, realistic, or physically possible is not relevant. National security does not wait for logistics.

CFIUS will oversee the process closely, carefully, and repeatedly, extending deadlines whenever necessary while remaining extremely firm about them.

Section IV: No Access Means No Access

Until divestment is complete, verified, documented, certified, and emotionally satisfying to CFIUS, access is denied.

No data.
No systems.
No facilities.
No peeking.

Controls must be installed within seven days to ensure nobody accidentally remembers how to log in.

Section V: Audits — Or, Trust Is Optional, Verification Is Mandatory

At any time, audits may occur.
At no cost to the government.
At full cost to everyone else.

Records will be examined.
Systems will be inspected.
Questions will be asked that have no correct answer.

Section VI: Intellectual Property Must Vanish

Upon divestment, all intellectual property must be destroyed or transferred.

Not symbolically.
Not ceremonially.
Actually.

Copies, backups, backups of backups, and anything that vaguely remembers the intellectual property must be dealt with.

CFIUS may audit again, just to be sure nothing survived.

Section VII: Selling to Others — Only With Permission and Patience

Any future sale requires prior notification, a waiting period, and emotional approval.

CFIUS will examine the buyer’s citizenship, history, relationships, hobbies, and general vibe.

If anything feels off, the sale does not happen.

Section VIII: Weekly Certifications — Or, Regular Confessions

Every week, written certification is required.

Compliance must be confirmed.
Progress must be explained.
Timelines must be optimistic.

Nothing says accountability like a recurring report.

Section IX: No Tricks, No Games

Any attempt to evade, circumvent, creatively interpret, or “technically comply” with this order is prohibited.

This order is smarter than that.

Section X: Government Access — Yes, They Can Come In

Government officials may enter facilities, inspect systems, copy records, and interview personnel.

With reasonable notice — which remains intentionally undefined.

Section XI: If Any Part Is Invalid…

Everything else remains valid.

Because this order was built to survive courtrooms, arguments, and reality itself.

Final Reservation: More Orders Are Always Possible

Should additional action be deemed necessary, more orders may follow.

National security is never finished.
It is ongoing.
Expanding.
And very well documented.

This Executive Order protects America.
From uncertainty.
From foreign influence.
From tiny chips doing big things without permission.

It is strong.
It is comprehensive.
It is extremely serious.

And most importantly:
It looks presidential.
