So I'd heard of this recently and of course was anticipating it in some form but there's a lot of background fascism stuff. Chatting with one of my FBI cousins these guys are reaching out to the various security branches and civil servants. Project 2025 Project 2025 is a plan to reshape the U.S. Federal government in the event of a Republican victory in 2024 United States presidential election. Project 2025 Purpose Plan for a restructuring of the U.S. Federal Government Headquarters 214 Massachusetts Avenue Northeast, Washington, D.C., U.S. Location Washington D.C. Director Paul Dans Website https://www.project2025.org/ The plan seeks to recruit thousands to come to Washington, D.C. and to restructure the federal government in the service of Trumpism, the personal ideology of Donald Trump. The plan would perform a rapid takeover of the entire U.S. federal government under a maximalist version of the unitary executive theory – a theory proposing the president of the United States has absolute power of the executive branch – upon inauguration. The development of the plan is led by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative U.S. think tank. The plan includes widespread changes across the entire government. With regards to climate policy, Project 2025 specifically plans to undo the Inflation Reduction Act, shut down the Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office, and increase the extraction and use of fossil fuels, among other measures. OverviewEdit Project 2025 is shaped by Trumpism, Donald Trump's ideology. Presidential powersEdit Project 2025 seeks to place the entire U.S. federal government under direct presidential control, eliminating the independence of the Department of Justice, Federal Communications Commission, Federal Trade Commission and other agencies. The plan bases its presidential agenda on a maximalist version of the unitary executive theory, arguing that Article Two of the United States Constitution vests executive power solely to the president. The concept of personal presidential power is central to the thinking of Donald Trump, the current front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, who falsely stated in 2019 that Article Two of the United States Constitution granted him the "right to do whatever as president". A similar remark was echoed in 2018 when he claimed he could fire special counsel Robert Mueller.[1] PersonnelEdit Project 2025 establishes a personnel database shaped by the ideology of Donald Trump. Throughout his presidency, Trump has rooted out individuals who are disloyal regardless of their ideological conviction, such as former attorney general William Barr, calling them "snakes" and "traitors" in his post-presidency. In the final year of Trump's presidency, White House Presidential Personnel Office employees James Bacon and John McEntee developed a questionnaire to test potential government employees on their commitment to Trumpism; Bacon and McEntee joined the project in May 2023.[2] Project 2025 is aligned with Trump's plans to fire more government employees than allocated to the president using Schedule F, a job classification established by Trump in an executive order in July 2020. Although the classification was rescinded by Joe Biden in January 2021, Trump intends to restore it. The Heritage Foundation plans on having 20,000 personnel in its database by the end of 2024.[1] Former Trump administration official Russell Vought and Project 2025 advisor stated that the project would be "a wrecking ball for the administrative state".[3] Climate policyEdit Project 2025 does not provide strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions responsible for climate change; Heritage Foundation energy and climate director Diana Furchtgott-Roth has suggested Americans should use more natural gas, a fossil fuel that leaks methane. Project 2025's blueprint includes repealing Inflation Reduction Act—a landmark law that offers US$370 billion to clean technology, shuttering the Loan Programs Office at the Department of Energy, eliminating climate change from the National Security Council agenda, and encouraging allied nations to use fossil fuels. The blueprint supports Arctic drilling and declaring that the federal government has an "obligation to develop vast oil and gas and coal resources", promising legal protections for energy companies whose drilling causes harm to birds. Notably, Project 2025 would reverse a 2009 finding from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that determined that carbon dioxide emissions are harmful to human health, preventing the federal government from regulating greenhouse gas emissions. The climate section of the report was written by several authors, including Mandy Gunasekara, the former chief of staff of the EPA who considers herself principal to the United States's withdrawal from the 2015 Paris Agreement. The role of the Department of Energy was drafted by Bernard McNamee, who has advised several fossil fuel companies. Four of the top authors of the report have publicly minimized the human role in causing climate change.[4]
Sounds like a great plan. FBI agents will be reassigned to non political. Declassify everything, remove judges that refuse to hear. So why would a great country sell itself out, feigning insanity.
So I have been saying that Bannon needed to be killed since Brexit as being one of the evil Irish he gets shit done even if he appears to be a complete shambles. Maybe @BeautifulStranger you can get a government job listening to yourself.
Thanks for posting this. It is good to see the Republicans trying to effectively organize. Project 25 list four pillars that it considers foundational to effective governance. These pillars are: 1. Policy Agenda that offers specific proposals for every major issue based upon leveraging the knowledge and experience of Conservative leadership. 2. Personnel Database, a nationwide search for Conservatives looking to make a positive difference. 3. Provide training that will turn talent pool into effective administrators. 4. 180 day playbook, a specific plan of actions to "bring quick relief to Americans suffering from the Left’s devastating policies". Project 25 currently has 72 organizations supporting it, including Moms for Liberty. Of course you are going to put a Fascist spin to it. Although to be fair, I'm always concerned about increasing concentrations of power, as alluring as creating quick policy changes can be, such as the President gaining too much power. I see Trump, as imperfect as he is, as providing a critical counterbalance to overly partisan Democrats who have abused our legal system, seemingly laughed at Constitutionally guaranteed civil rights of some when it suit their purposes, and have taken over much of the media for political gain rather than effective governance. In the final analysis, Project 25 fundamentally has lots to offer all including the Democrat base. A strong, incentive based economic system has the potential to provide a higher standard of living for most versus an Centralized, Government controlled economy that disincentives risk taking and capital investment, which inevitably leads to lower productivity, standard of living, and even quality of life for most.
To be honest, I am tempted. Also being honest, they could use my help. It is what it is. I have a few fears, though. Getting quickly fired over passionate debate over policy implementation by a stodgy boss whose career has spanned over the seemingly increasing ineptness of the Republican Party is not one of them, however. I fear Project 25 may be too partisan, just like the Democrats. I fear all the expertise and experience of Project 25 members could be overruled by Trump based on a whim of the moment. To be fair, Trump has reversed himself when his quick, low depth decisions turned out to be counterproductive. I fear the environment, the "Culture" of Project 25 may not be conducive to honest differences of opinions where position trumps efforts of problem solving. So yes, Project 25 may be a little rough now, but it is a start. Perhaps a start that leads to a renaissance of Democracy in the United States and maybe beyond.
I am, or at least was, for quite a while, under FBI investigation, just like my Leftist mom was many years ago. Are or were your cousins involved? I say "quite a while", because some of the pretexts they use to gather information were getting reused. So were some other methods.
Bugenhagen is now thinking, "Oh my God, what have I done". "I have helped launch Project 25". A practical challenge for me, if I were ever to seek the "Protection" of the Republican Party, is they are so incompetent at so many things. So I'm all alone, like a babe in the woods. A van, a couple of guys, and Euthasol, is it? Edit: ... have been incompetent at so many things.
