IS’NT ANYBODY THINKING

Behind closed doors and in plain sight, a coordinated assault on American democracy is underway. Fringe extremist groups — the American Freedom Party, Patriot Front, The Base, Boogaloo Boys, Neo-Nazis, White Nationalists, Skinheads, and other Alt-Right factions — are no longer isolated anomalies. They are increasingly emboldened, organized, and aligned. But they are not acting alone.

They are finding common cause with institutional power: elements within the Freemasons, Elks, secretive gatherings like the Bilderberg Group, and disturbingly, some fraternal networks embedded within our military and law enforcement agencies. What unites them is a shared vision: to dismantle democratic institutions and replace them with a centralized autocracy. The goal? To crown Donald Trump as a “Supreme Leader” in a government that answers to ideology, not the Constitution.

But this is no longer a conspiracy theory. The blueprint for this radical transformation is now public. It’s called Project 2025.

Project 2025 is a comprehensive plan — drafted and promoted by The Heritage Foundation and other far-right think tanks — that lays out in detail how to weaponize the federal government to serve a singular ideology. Disguised as an effort to “restore conservative governance,” it is in truth a roadmap to authoritarian control. It proposes to:

• Fire tens of thousands of nonpartisan civil servants and replace them with political loyalists.
• Eliminate independent oversight agencies.
• Dismantle the Department of Education and weaken regulatory protections.
• Re-centralize power in the executive branch, making the presidency virtually unchecked.
• Criminalize dissent under the guise of “law and order.”
• Impose religious doctrine in federal policymaking.
• Subordinate the military, intelligence, and law enforcement communities to one man’s political will.

If this plan is implemented, it won’t just change policy — it will shatter the very framework of democratic government. Project 2025 doesn’t hide its intent: it seeks to permanently entrench one-party rule under an authoritarian presidency, with loyalty to the “leader” taking precedence over loyalty to the Constitution.

Well done. You broke the system. Now, here is the country you and your children will live in.

The military and police will be everywhere — not as guardians of public safety, but as instruments of suppression. The Party (now synonymous with government) will control all supply chains. Food, medicine, gasoline, internet — rationed not by need, but by obedience. Your wages will be restricted. A percentage will be redirected to the Party’s coffers. Want decent housing or a good school for your child? You’ll need to attend monthly Party meetings, prove your loyalty, and perhaps offer a bribe.

Independent corporations — Amazon, Apple, Meta, AT&T — will either submit to Party regulation or be stripped of autonomy. Your digital life will be monitored in real time. Every text, email, and click will be logged and analyzed.

Mass media will become a state-run echo chamber. Dissenting journalists will vanish. Books will be banned. School curriculums will be rewritten. Religion will be co-opted and weaponized. If a religious group, university, labor union, or civil rights organization steps out of line — the Party will quietly eliminate them, and ask the public to look the other way.

This is not speculation. This is the pattern of fascism.

We’ve seen it in Mussolini’s Italy, Hitler’s Germany, Stalin’s USSR, and more recently in Viktor Orbán’s Hungary. The common strategy is always the same: exploit economic fear, stir up racial resentment, attack the press, undermine the judiciary, and consolidate power — all while pretending to "restore greatness."

Is this really the future you want for your children?

A nation ruled by fear, corruption, and forced silence? A country where liberty is a privilege of the loyal, not a right of the people? Where police knock on your door for something you posted online? Where elections are rigged, and the courts are rubber stamps?

Because that’s the world Project 2025 envisions. And The Heritage Foundation — once a bastion of conservative thought — has chosen to embrace this vision not as a warning, but as a manual.

You still have a choice — for now. But time is running out.

Democracy is not a self-cleaning oven. It doesn’t heal itself. It demands action. Resistance. Participation. Speaking truth to power — even when it’s uncomfortable.

We must reject this ideological coup before it becomes law. Before freedom becomes fiction. Before history repeats itself in full.
