Project 2025: “…Will Remain Bloodless, If the Left Allows…”

The Real Potential of Project 2025

Much has been reported, in news broadcasts, in deep and revealing stories in the print media, as well as lengthy discussions via multiple social media platforms. We’re going to examine its origins, sources of support and possible negative effects on our democratic society.

Project 2025 has been organized by the Heritage Foundation, as a movement – wide effort “guided by the conservative cause to address and reform the failings of big government and an undemocratic administrative process.”

Kevin Roberts, leader of the Heritage Foundation has been quoted:

“We are in the process of the second American revolution, which will remain bloodless, if the left allows it to be.”

Heritage Foundation is known as “an early purveyor of the Big Lie. It continues to claim incessantly and shamelessly that there is widespread voter fraud, despite ample evidence to the contrary”, according to the Brennan Center for Justice. In Project 2025, Heritage is once again thinking BIG.

The Project is supported by an ” Advisory Board “, described as a “broad coalition of over 100 conservative organizations” that came together, to form the Project’ pillars. We are going to examine some of these conservative organizations, to try and determine what they’re envisioning with Project 2025.

Project 2025 reportedly has “a sweeping agenda, highly detailed and ” is aimed at dismantling the checks and balances that distribute power” among the three branches of our government and consolidating power in a leader who is above the law.

Among the hundreds of plans in this 900 page document are these:

  • Military raids and encampments, to deport millions of immigrants
  • Nationwide abortion restrictions and a rollback of LGBTQ+ rights
  • Purging 50,000 civil servants replacing them with MAGA loyalists
  • Gutting racial equity programs and climate initiatives
  • Overruling mayors and governors, in blue cities and states, to impose the MAGA agenda everywhere
  • The foregoing plan is reportedly the “blueprint” for the next conservative administration. Major supporters can be found among members of the Project’s Advisory Board.

Included among this network of conservative organizations are:

The American Accountability Foundation shown as “an American Conservative opposition research group” founded in 2020, that has opposed nominees to the Joe Biden Administration.” AAF describes itself as “a charitable and educational organization” that conducts non – partisan governmental oversight and fact – checking so Americans can hold their elected leaders accountable.

Their newest initiative: exposing high ranking civil servants, within DHS and the DOJ, “who are likely to thwart an incoming conservative administration’s immigration agenda. By shining a spotlight on these potential impediments we can ensure that we push back on the obstructive forces in the bureaucracy which protects our nation’s integrity and future.” The blocking of so many of Biden’s nominees has made it harder for the president and his administration to enact policies that were elected to enact.

AAF also deploys aggressive research and investigations to “advance conservatism, while heavily scrutinizing politicians, political appointees, established organizations and government policies.”

In continuing our future scrutiny of Project 2025 and of the conservative organizations that make up its Advisory Board, we will delve into a number of other known and unknown far – right and conservative organizations such as:

The American Family Project
The Bull Moose Project
The American Principles Project
The American Legislative Executive Council (aka ALEC)
The American Mainstream Initiative and
The American Council of Trustees and Alumni

These organizations are only the tip of the iceberg, but, our plan is to focus on what each group represents and where their impact, within the next “conservative administration” will be seen and felt.

It is imperative that We, The People, stand up, turnout and VOTE, such that democracy, as we know it will not fall victim to this authoritarian ideology.
