In the Lyceum address, Lincoln said, “At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected?
I answer, if it ever reaches us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad.
If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”
Lincoln certainly could not foresee Project 2025, and the dangers of christofascism, not even Nostradamus hit this on the head (sarcasm).
Since 2023, I have been vocal about Project 2025, its intentions, and the substantial dangers the United States are exposed to. Perhaps I was too early in ringing the alarm bell, as Project 2025 is just now beginning to garner the negative attention it deserves. On the other hand, “better late than never” is hopefully good enough. Thus, for the coming editorials I’ll focus my efforts on Project 2025 again, hoping that most of you will be ready for what’s about to come and, please, do liberally share my work. This one is important, my friends.
Below, you’ll find a short bullet pointed list, with high-level explanations of the dangers we are in.
Below that, you will find screenshots of the Advisor Board of Project 2025.
Below that, you will find a short overview of the organizations in support of Project 2025.
While other authors are already writing about the impacts of the Project 2025, I am focusing this series on the contributing organizations.
The impacts of Project 2025
Social destruction: Project 2025 aims to dismantle social programs and policies, eliminating critical support systems for marginalized communities, exacerbating social inequalities, reversing gains in civil rights, and reinstating segregation.
Religious Liberties: Project 2025 uncompromisingly promotes an abstract version of evangelicalism in public policy, leading to discrimination against other faiths and non-religious individuals, actively undermining the separation of church and state.
Freedoms of Choice: Project 2025 intends to restrict personal freedoms, including reproductive choices, gender identity, and any lifestyle decisions outside the scope of the evangelical doctrine, thereby imposing a conservative moral framework on all citizens, completely eroding individual autonomy.
Sexual Expression and Gender Identity: The agenda explicitly targets LGBTQ+ rights, advocating for the elimination of protections and equalities, increasing discrimination, legitimizing anti-LGBTQ+ behaviors, and protecting the violent opposition.
Bodily Autonomy and Reproductive Rights: The document calls for severe restrictions on reproductive health services, including banning abortion and contraception, stripping away women's rights to make decisions about their own bodies, actively endangering their health and lives.
Education: Project 2025 demands the anchoring of conservative values into educational curricula, threatening academic freedom, undermining comprehensive sex education, and fostering an environment of censorship and ideological indoctrination. Project 2025 aims to eliminate the Department of Education, in favor of state supported charter schools, operated without oversight.
Investigation and Oversight: The Project 2025 plan includes measures to reduce government accountability, weakening checks and balances, and allowing for increased governmental abuse of power without repercussions. Its aim is to concentrate power to the Oval Office, without limiting factors. Thus, the office of the president would not be held to the account of the law, but would, indeed, act lawless and with eternal immunity.
Environmental Protections: Project 2025 proposes to eliminate the Environmental Protection Agency, rolling back environmental regulations, prioritizing industrial and economic interests over ecological sustainability, leading to environmental destruction and public health risks. This effort includes the expansion of harvesting resources in presently protected public and tribal lands.
Healthcare Access: Project 2025 will dismantle key aspects of the Affordable Care Act, reducing access to healthcare for millions, especially for low-income and vulnerable populations. This will increase health disparities, comorbidities, greatly increasing the death toll of Americans who can not afford healthcare or will be turned away due to the inability to pay. The Hippocratic oath will cease to exist, as will vulnerable Americans.
Immigration: Project 2025 outlines draconian immigration policies, promoting xenophobia, increasing deportations, and undermining the rights and humane treatment of immigrants and refugees. Ethnocentrism will be enforced, disregarding internationally accepted conventions and treaties.
Criminal Justice: The Project demands tougher law enforcement measures, increasing mass incarceration, particularly targeting minority communities, while perpetuating systemic racism within the justice system. The intended consequence is that the “for profit” prison complex will derive greater dividends.
Economic Inequality: Project 2025 includes policies that favor the wealthy, including tax cuts for corporations and the rich, widening the economic divide and undermining the economic security of the middle and lower classes.
Organizational Support of Project 2025
At the onset, The 2025 Presidential Transition Project is being organized by The Heritage Foundation and builds off Heritage’s longstanding “Mandate for Leadership,” which has been highly influential for presidential administrations since the Reagan era. In fact, the Heritage Foundation was founded in 1973, and alongside Jerry Falwell’s “Moral Majority” was instrumental in getting Reagan elected. In 2015, the Trump administration started to rely heavily on Heritage’s “Mandate” for policy guidance, embracing nearly two-thirds of Heritage’s proposals within just one year in office.
The “Mandate for Leadership” series includes five individual publications, totaling approximately 334 unique policy recommendations. Analysis completed by Heritage Foundation determined that 64 percent of the policy prescriptions were included in Trump’s budget, implemented through regulatory guidance, or under consideration for action in accordance with The Heritage Foundation’s original proposals.
However, the Heritage Foundation is not alone in its categorically evil intent, cloaked in a despicable religious garment. On Page 11 of “Project 2025”, the “Advisory Board” is a Who’s Who of christofascist dysfunction, “hell-bent” on burning the United States at the stake.
The Advisory Board
Beyond the advisory board, which now accounts for 75 organizations (and growing), there are actively participating organizations, committed to the realization of Project 2025. More than half the groups supporting the effort have received $21.5 million in funding from Leonard Leo’s dark money network.
The Issue
Project 2025 is only one head of the hydra. The other heads are Leonard Leo (key contributor), the individual organizations, Project Blitz, the 7 Mountain Mandate (video below, connecting the dots), and other, smaller, initiatives.
Supporting Organizations
In the upcoming editorials, I will try to cover as many organizations, with as many details as possible, to emphasize the substantial dangers we are in. This is the list of organizations that either provide work for the Heritage Foundation in addition to being on the advisory board, or provide funding for Project 2025:

The Favor
The list of anti-American organizations will continue to grow, and it’s virtually impossible for a “one man” show to effectively and exhaustively cover all the organizations. Any organization that I am covering, will be hyperlinked from this list, and back-linked from the editorial, once published. I can assure you that I will be giving you my best and my all, hoping to assist with the equalizing of the dangers we are in.
This is where I am asking, for the first time ever, for your support. I am providing my work free of charge, because it is important to inform as many Americans as possible. However, it takes many hours to write a comprehensive editorial, and I would greatly appreciate your support by subscribing - IF (and only if) you can afford it.
If you cannot, don’t worry. This resource will remain free of charge. Would you please share my work with your network?

Boosted and shared where I'm not in low views limbo. Thank you for your work.
With all that you studied of Project 2025 and Agenda 47: What do you think is the dark horse of it? Some thing unexpectedly impactful component that nobody seems to be talking about?
