Brooke Rollins and the Technofascist Restructuring of American Agriculture: An Investigative Exposé

By Prince Kapone | Weaponized Information | April 23, 2025

In the second act of Trumpism, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is no longer simply a bureaucratic institution—it’s an occupied zone of corporate war. At the center of this campaign is Brooke Rollins, a Texan-born legal technocrat bred in the ideological kitchens of American conservatism, marinated in think tank orthodoxy, and now deployed as the regime’s field marshal of agrarian control.

I. From Glen Rose to the Command Post

Rollins grew up in Glen Rose, Texas—a town painted as pastoral but weaponized as political capital. With a B.S. in Agricultural Development from Texas A&M and a J.D. from the University of Texas, she built a curriculum vitae designed not for justice but for domination. Her trajectory reads like a plantation novel rewritten in the code of neoliberalism.

As head of the Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF), she spent over a decade converting Big Oil cash into white papers and policy blueprints. TPPF became an ideological factory, exporting austerity to the poor and deregulation to the rich. Here, Rollins perfected her craft: translating capitalism’s brutality into patriotic rhetoric.

II. Weaponizing the State: From Think Tank to Cabinet

Rollins didn’t just accept Trump’s invitation—she authored part of the playbook. As leader of the America First Policy Institute, she helped forge the second-term offensive: an agenda tailored to break the back of food sovereignty, slash migrant labor protections, and dismantle agricultural research. It wasn’t policy- it was political demolition.

Once seated in the Secretary of Agriculture’s chair, she wasted no time. Her early days were defined by a blitz of so-called “reforms”:
slashing budgets, gutting worker protections, and reallocating resources to the private sector. Her motto might as well be: “Starve the state, feed the oligarchs.”

III. Tariffs, Deportations, and Agricultural Austerity

With a Texas grin and a velvet glove, Rollins has cheerfully backed Trump’s tariff regime—despite its devastation of export-dependent farmers. Aid packages are doled out like wartime rations: uneven, arbitrary, and politically convenient.

Then comes the hammer: mass deportations. Rollins admits that agriculture relies on migrant labor. Her solution? Replace human beings with “streamlined” guest worker programs—a sanitized euphemism for hyper-exploited, tracked, and disposable labor.
This isn’t reform. It’s imperial labor discipline with digital upgrades.

IV. Erasing Knowledge: The Technofascist War on Agricultural Research

In our earlier exposé, we outlined how Rollins and the Trump bloc are orchestrating a knowledge purge. USDA research programs—especially those studying climate change, soil degradation, and public food systems—have been defunded, dismantled, and defanged.

This isn’t incompetence. It’s class war by information suppression. The goal is to liquidate public knowledge and replace it with corporate patents. Privatized food science. Algorithmic seed monopolies. Proprietary weather models. The endgame is simple: turn farmers into data-entry clerks and communities into client states of Monsanto and Microsoft.

V. Capital’s Handmaiden: Rollins and the Oily Trail of Influence

Rollins isn’t neutral. She is heavily invested—literally. She controls millions in oil fields and energy sector assets, including ventures in Iraq. Her tenure as head of AFPI netted over a million dollars. Now, she presides over USDA contracts and regulatory frameworks that directly affect her own portfolio. This isn’t a conflict of interest—it’s a business model.

And yet, she smiles through confirmation hearings, cloaking extractive greed in folksy patriotism. But make no mistake: Rollins is not the exception. She is the prototype.

VI. Conclusion: Revolution or Ruin

Brooke Rollins is not some rogue bureaucrat. She is the ideological executor of a regime consolidating its food systems, labor pools, and environmental data into the vaults of finance capital. What she oversees is not reform—it is the digitized enclosure of the commons.

If we don’t call this what it is—technofascism—we will be locked into a future where everything we eat, grow, and share is owned by someone richer, whiter, and more algorithmically armed than we are. The struggle for food is the struggle for life. The struggle for agriculture is the struggle for autonomy. And the struggle against Rollins is a struggle for the soul of the earth.
