Word is getting around on Facabook

Project 2025 has been making rounds on my Facebook page. I haven't gone a day lurking on. FB. without someone mentioning it or putting a meme up. The reaction is mostly negative to very negative to P25. There are some that were quick to point out that TCF45 distanced himself from this. That was met with 'he'll say anything ' or 'why were members of his administration involved with this?

Word is getting out. I hope enough people are listening.

P2025 is not just a plan for one election cycle. If the anti-American supreme court is not dealt with this fascist movement will return again and again until they get a president to enact their garbage agenda

I understand that the Heritage Foundation has been preparing a thorough list of federal employees deemed insufficiently loyal to MAGA, and another list of MAGA loyalists, pre-vetted, for Trump to appoint in their place.

Trump will also like the Project 2025 plans for weaponizing the DOJ and FBI to go after Trump's political enemies.

back through their mentors etc. and the ones who influenced the mentors you find the trail to the torture folks, MK Ultra , eugenics, white supremacy people and on and on. They are absolute in their belief that there are groups of people who are "above" and those "below". When you dig into the ghastly experimentation in bio-weapons, mind control and torture that have been conducted over the last 100 years you find the ones from the "above" group justifying their experimentation using (most of the time deceptively) mentally ill persons, developmentally challenged children/children with birth defect issues, prisoners, minorities etc. They openly justify doing these things using dehumanizing language such as making notes in their research where they call the ones they used "materials". It truly is their view that they've done nothing wrong because these are groups "beneath" them.

I have a whole research file that ties the names and deeds down through the years to the present day. I'm trying to work up the energy to write the thing. Suffice it to say that there were monsters doing things before WW2 around the world but the reign of Allen Dulles at CIA and the work of scientists, doctors and psychiatrists after and up through the current day is horror times 10. Blessed and protected through the years by government officials, lawyers and administrators who wrote memos about "protecting" themselves from public scrutiny or accountability.

One can start with the names Stanley Gottlieb, Donald Ewen Cameron and go backward and forward and sideways with various names like Dr. Henry Cotton, Dr. Adolf Meyer, Dr. Albert Kligman, Dr. Harold Wolff, Dr. James Mitchell and so many more. It runs through the CIA torture program and the ones who "lawyered" on it and on and on.

So when they speak about how they are going to "clean house", "go after people" etc. it is entirely in keeping with their view about themselves being a group "above" the rest of us and therefore they claim the right to do to us as they will.

I saw warnings about Project 2025 this weekend among a community of smut writers. They warned fellow writers that if Project 2025 happens, writing smut and fanfic will be criminalized. Goodbye A03, goodbye Tumblr, goodbye Patreon, etc.

The news is definitely reaching many corners.

Not long ago it seemed like only the political junkies were talking about it. Now I hear it coming up in casual conversations from unexpected people. It’s almost always very negative feedback, or wanting to know more about it.

who were screaming our heads off about the Republican's PNAC at the end of the 90's. We all kicked our screaming into high gear after 9/11, realizing that this was exactly what the Republicans were talking about when they talked about something major happening like Pearl Harbor to quickly advance all the list of things they wished to accomplish in 2000 and onwards..............There is so so much evidence that WBush/Cheney/Rumsfeld, along with Louie Freigh? at the FBI let 9/11 happen it is sickening.

No one was listening then, and most are not listening now.................................

Anyone I mentioned it to gave the same response, “If it’s for real, why haven’t I heard about it?” ”The New Pearl Harbor” should have been shouted from the rooftops. People still don’t know the real impetus for the Iraq War.

that the perfect title for a book about the last 44 years would be:

WHILE THE NATION SLEPT


In many different ways, alot of the citizens of the U.S. brought all this down on themselves, I am sorry to say....

I would love to give a pop quiz to the entire House and Senate on civics and basic U.S. History. There are some that would pass, but the majority would fail the quiz. Next I would love to give a test to the U.S. registered voters. It would be the same citizenship test immigrants have had to pass to become U.S. Citizens. The results would be deplorable.

I love it when Jay Leno or other celebrities go out on the downtown streets and ask people college age simple questions. Questions like what ocean is off the western part of the U.S.........or can you name the states that border this state we are in. etc etc
It is absolutely appalling.

If I were religious, I would say: GOD HELP US........

People like Stephen Miller, who was behind the practice of ripping children from their mothers arms at the border, is one of the main architects of Project 2025. That fact should be made widely known!!!!

who has always been a good Democrat, but has never been especially active and who has avoided putting political posts on her feed (though she never fails to "like" mine) has added several informational posts to her feed. Ending most of them with "Wake up people!"

And I've seen several post from other friends, some more engaged than others.

I've downloaded the Project 2025 manifesto as I would not be surprised if they took it down once the fools figure out people are on to it.

My early 50yr old daughter has posted on her FB page about the horrors of P2025. In the past she has been mostly apolitical or leaned Libertarian. We have usually avoided political discussions as we both know where the other stands and our minds not going to change.

I know she has been anti-Trump, so at least I was happy for that. But today she is posting actively to her friends to be aware of and beware of P25. Just a couple of people commented that Trump doesn't have anything to do with it, or doesn't know about it, you can't believe everything on the internet, etc. Lots of replies correcting those comments or bringing up other points about how bad it is.

Here's a favorite comment: 'It’s shocking how many people on this thread believe a KNOW liar, felon, rapist, racist and cheater. WTF happened to critical thinking? The heritage foundation authored the document and is a top contributor to the Trump campaign.

It made me very happy to see that the word is being spread by Gen Xers and praying they will get out and vote to protect all of us from P2025/Agenda 47 becoming a reality.

it is the GOP behind it. This issue cannot be isolated to trump and Heritage. Heritage organized the plan on paper but it is the GOP who has been paving the way for it to be put in place. Think judges, voter intimidation by State Legislators, etc.. All that took time and now they are ready to implement it.
It is all just Fascist fantasy unless they have a party to initiate it. The GOP cannot be let off the hook. Their fingerprints are all over the document.
