Project 2025 and satan’s magik dust

In my previous post about P2025, I discussed how P2025’s underlying agenda is essentially the oligarch’s decades-old neoliberal economic program – thinly disguised as a Christian Nationalist manifesto.

Neoliberalism is an economic philosophy which argues that the rich should be allowed to pursue their business interests, making the maximum possible profit, w/o any interference from the government. Ultimately, neoliberalism is like a substitute religion – it is the idolization of greed.

On its surface, P2025 may look like a plan to empower white christian nationalism but the real underlying agenda is to convince right-wing voters to cede political power to the oligarchy. See Trump’s Agenda 47 – it is just a dumbed down version of P2025 that outlines the fascist, anti-egalitarian steps that a prospective 2nd Trump administration would immediately implement to put the oligarchy's plan into action. If the oligarchy can install and command an all-powerful presidency, they will control the nation and by extension, the world - it is the anti-Christ's dream. Disregard Trump’s lies, voting for Trump is voting for Project 2025; voting for your own enslavement to an authoritarian government.

Racist Propaganda – the magik dust luring white christian nationalists to their spiritual deaths

P2025 is really a roadmap for creating consent among low-information, right-wing, pseudo-Christian voters for the installation of the billionaire’s neoliberal authoritarian (fascist) government in the United States. P2025 uses propaganda to falsely argue that every Federal Government agency and department has been taken over from within by left-wingers (i.e., educated people) who are somehow forcing wokeism and CRT (i.e., anti-racism) on “team white America.” Such propaganda is so crass and juvenile that it is hard to fathom that so many people calling themselves christians could ever fall for it.

Definition: Propaganda is information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view. Simply put, propaganda is a means of spreading lies to demonize one’s chosen political victims / enemies. The BIBLE plainly states that those who love and promote lies will be damned. Rev 21:8, Rev 22:14-15

The entire rationale given in P2025 for its goal of “dismantling the administrative state,” is the entirely ludicrous idea that “wokeism” and “CRT” have somehow undermined the ability of every government agency to carry out its function - so therefore, 50,000 federal government employees should be immediately fired and replaced with unknowledgeable, inexperienced, incompetent maga loyalists. Supposedly, this adolescently foolish idea would put America “back on track.”

The real intention, if implemented, would be for this cadre of right-wing loyalists to hinder the enforcement of the laws and regulations put in place to protect the public against the demonic greed of the oligarchy and the racism of local white supremacists at the state level. Of course, in actual practice, this would bring the Federal Government to a standstill – endangering every citizen in the United States as the new employees would simply not know how to do their jobs.

What does CRT actually mean? The Racist lies regarding CRT…

It is remarkable that no space could be found anywhere among the 922 pages of the P2025 document for a glossary of terms, i.e., definitions. This was, of course, intentional and necessary because P2025 uses many terms whose original meanings have been distorted for propagandistic purposes by the billionaire controlled right-wing media complex. Terms repeatedly used in P2025 as racist dog whistles include:
  • Critical Race Theory (CRT)
  • Woke (wokeism/wokeness/awokening – note the sophomoric, made-up words)
  • Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI)
  • Social Justice
By now, most people have seen at least one online video where racist right-wing talking heads are unable to give any sort of coherent definition for terms like “CRT” and “Woke.” For instance, this supposed author of a book attacking “wokeness,” went viral for not being able to actually explain wokeness to an interviewer. Understand, however, the actual meanings of these dog whistles have become irrelevant – both to those spinning the propaganda and to those who have been brainwashed into accepting the lies. To the right-wing audience, CRT and woke are now just code words meant to evoke an emotional response – white racists irrationally feel that any mention of their racism against Black Americans is racism against them. In other words, a large segment of the American public has declared that it is determined to remain unrepentant and will never acknowledge America’s sinful history of genocide and racism.

Critical Race Theory, or CRT, is an academic and legal framework that denotes that systemic racism is part of American society — from education and housing to employment and healthcare. Critical Race Theory recognizes that racism is more than the result of individual bias and prejudice. It is essentially an academic response to the erroneous notion that American society and institutions are “colorblind.”

P2025 is largely based on the lie that CRT is racism against white people and is so pervasive that it threatens white nationalists at every level of society. CRT is actually a graduate level law school course. It has never been part of any K-12 public school curriculum, yet P2025 pretends that their false definition of CRT (i.e., that anti-racism is anti-white america) is being taught in public schools, to the military, in business, and in the government. This is an utter falsehood, but satan’s lie machine has chosen to make a straw man out of their false, ill-defined characterization of CRT – something that they can attack as being “anti-white” in order to tar their selected enemies.

The redefined “code” words used as propaganda by the authors of P2025 are meant to make white supremacists feel attacked and therefore justified in their racist actions and beliefs. They are being deceived into accepting (or more likely into simply ignoring) the implications of the P2025 agenda that would eventually destroy their own freedoms – all for nothing more than the mere promise of being able to feel like part of “team white America.” The strategy of the entire document seems to follow the sad truth of LBJ’s famous quote about the psychology of petty, mean-spirited American racists.

LBJ: "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

Outro: What Trump voters are actually voting for…

Buy now, most voters probably see Trump as a ridiculous, mindless, selfish, greasy, orange rape pig. Many however, will still vote for him because to some degree, they are not voting for Trump anymore; what they are actually voting for is Trump’s embrace of their racism. Simply put, America’s Trump voters are voting for white supremacy. P2025 promises white christian nationalist America that they will be given the power to officially continue their pretense that America is not a racist country and through the utter hypocrisy of legalized "colorblindness," that they will be allowed to economically, socially, and politically disenfranchise Blacks and other minorities while pretending that race has nothing to do with it. The oligarchs are telling America’s white nationalists that they will allow them to practice their racism in exchange for allowing them – the billionaires – to control the government and economy via dictatorship.

It is a devil’s bargain. The sponsors of P2025 are pied pipers leading their deceived minions to hell by appealing to their hypocritical un-christian racist pride. Pro 16:5, Pro 16:18

 Project 2025: Antichrist in disguise – Pt 1

…it is the last time. And as you have heard that the antichrist [he who will oppose Christ in the guise of Christ] is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen… 1Joh 2:18 (AMP)

As of September 2024, most american media outlets continue to characterize Project 2025 as a plan for christian domination of the U.S. Government. Top Google search results say things like: Project 2025 “…seeks to infuse the government with conservative Christian values; …is a Christian nationalist plan to steer the U.S. toward autocracy; …is a Christo-fascist manifesto, etc.”

However, upon closer inspection, when stripped of its Christian Nationalist dog whistles, we find that P2025 tracks precisely with the decades-old, unchristian, anti-democratic, neoliberal, economic agenda of the ultra-rich. (Neoliberalism proposes that making the rich richer, will somehow produce the best economic outcome for everyone else; i.e., the demonic lie of trickle-down economics.)

P2025 – who’s agenda is it?

As alluded to in a previous blog post, P2025 is not really a christian right manifesto. It does give lip service to the right wing evangelical political agenda by employing the code words and racist dog whistles that the Dominionists/Christian Nationalists (D/CNs) have been trained to respond to. However, it only employs this propaganda to create political consent among those it seeks to deceive – people who think they are being given the power to destroy their “enemies” but who are instead, literally voting for their own destruction. While P2025 seems to make vague promises of political power to the D/CNs, a big picture overview reveals that it is nothing other than a recitation of the American oligarchy’s long-range anti-egalitarian plan to impose a system of government whose sole purpose will be to serve the profit-making greed of the super-rich. P2025 is just the same old neoliberal manifesto in a new disguise.

Are these “Christian Values?”

Q: Is there proof that P2025 isn’t a “christian” plan?

A: Aside from the fact that it was created by the billionaire-controlled Heritage Foundation as a plan to deregulate corporate activities – a plan whose successful implementation will hurt all Americans except the evil rich? 

Below are just a few examples of the pointlessly greedy antichristian agenda stated by or alluded to in P2025 – things that would hurt people (especially the poor and minorities) instead of helping them:

  • Tax cuts for the rich
    •  Which means tax increases for average citizens
  •  Increased war spending, while:
    • Reducing / privatizing Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid (Privatization means that average people will no longer benefit from these programs)
    • Reducing aid to the poor, including eliminating food security for children
  • Eliminating civil rights protections
  • Destroying public health by:
    • Eliminating environmental protections
    • Slashing food safety regulations
  • Destroying public education
  • Using the military to police (kill) American citizens if they protest

Compare the evil greed implicit in this agenda with JESUS’ words at Mat 25:31-46. JESUS condemns (to hell) those who refuse to offer assistance and charity to people in need. This is not a Christian agenda - it is literally the opposite of the Christianity taught by JESUS in the BIBLE.

P2025 is a Trojan Horse

P2025 is nothing less than a roadmap by the ultra-rich for creating an authoritarian “royal” presidency in the U.S.  P2025 is satan’s trojan horse – delivered outside the gate of the republican right-wing evangelical church (D/CNs) to lure them into voting in an antichrist system of government.

… the oligarchs would only have to control one person to rule the entire world…

If an American president is ever allowed to have the dictatorial power that P2025 wants to give the office, the oligarchs would, in theory, only have to own and control one person to rule the entire nation and by extension the world. The oligarchs’ urgency in openly presenting their authoritarian plan at this moment could be because they sense that this is their big chance to end representative democracy - a chance that could be lost for many years under a new democratic regime. They have spent billions to reinstall an amoral psychopath, the self-obsessed Donald Trump, who they could easily manipulate into implementing their authoritarian presidency.

The chance to create an autocratic presidency through the voting process is probably the bloodless takeover that former Heritage president Kevin Roberts was alluding to when he quoted the disgraced Catholic integralist philosopher and sexual predator John McCloskey.

“Hath GOD said?” …and satan tempted Eve… (Gen 3:1)

…And the rich oligarchs (speaking as satan) said to the white Christian Nationalists: “hath GOD said to love your enemies and forgive in order to be forgiven? Isn’t it better to have the political power to destroy your enemies? Surely we will share that power with you once we complete our authoritarian takeover.”

P2025 is utter deception. It uses demonic lies - fascist propaganda created to justify an authoritarian takeover that could only ever benefit the ultra-rich. The oligarchs will obviously step in and take control if they can convince their dupes to vote in their antichrist system. The final coup will be carried out by those offering the road map – satan takes pleasure in destroying those who he has deceived. See the example at Rev 17:16 - the beast will destroy the prostitute - the apostate church that helps him take control.

Coming: Pt 2 – Project 2025 and Racism: the magik dust that intoxicates right wing political christians - those who refuse to repent of their Americanism (patriotic idolatry)

Why do some say there is no Rapture?

These days it is not unusual to hear someone say that there is no such thing as the Rapture. Such people could edify (enlighten / teach) the church by simply explaining what they mean by the term “rapture” – instead, they often seem satisfied to spread confusion. What many of them are actually talking about is the “secret, end-time, pre-tribulation, all-fly-away” rapture; a false teaching popular among American evangelicals. Even though the pre-tribulation rapture is not taught anywhere in the BIBLE, many modern christians believe that they are chosen to escape all of GOD’s coming judgments on the world. (Tribulation refers to a series of disasters outlined in the BIBLE that signal the end of the world as we know it, i.e., the apocalypse.)

What the BIBLE does teach is the resurrection of the righteous dead at JESUS’ second coming. It says the “dead in CHRIST shall rise up and any righteous Christians who happen to still be alive at that time will also be caught up in the air with them to be with JESUS. 1 Thes 4:13-17

Note that the emphasis of the Gospel message is on eternal salvation; the promise of resurrection after death. The rapture of the living at the second coming is just an inevitable consequence of the general resurrection of all who are worthy to be saved.

The word “rapture”

One group that denies the rapture does so because the word “rapture” does not appear in traditional English BIBLE translations (KJV, etc.). This is a pointless and deceptive argument because the apostle Paul originally wrote in Greek. He used the Greek word, “harpazo,” which means to “seize by force, to catch up, or snatch away” to describe what happens to living Christians at the second coming. Early Latin BIBLES translated harpazo as “rapio/raptus/rapturo” – which also means to be taken by force. From the Latin rapturo, we get the English phrase: “caught up,” and the word rapture which is commonly used to describe the scenario at 1 Thes 4:17.

JESUS said that the second coming and the gathering of the elect (the saved obedient Christians) occurs after the great tribulation. Mat 24:21-31, 1 Cor.15:51-52  The pre-tribulation rapture is not in the BIBLE but the “catching up in the air,” the rapture of the living saints at the same time as the resurrection, certainly is.    

Other significant groups that dismiss the rapture are preterists / dominionists / post millennialists. Their false doctrines cause them to twist the scripture to support their presupposition that all end-time scenarios in Bible prophesy must have happened in the past – in or before 70 AD – when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem. They want to believe that we are currently in the “thousand-year reign,” i.e., Christ’s millennial kingdom on earth, to support their ludicrous claim that white American christians have been appointed to take political control and rule the world for JESUS. Understand that JESUS consistently rebuked HIS disciples for suggesting that HIS kingdom had anything to do with seeking worldly political dominion.

Conclusions

Focusing on the rapture as a way to escape the judgement of the world is missing the point. We were put here to be tested and JESUS has challenged us to overcome sinfulness in order to be saved. Rev 2:7, 1726 ; 3:51221  Aside from those who fall away when they realize that there is no pre-trib rapture, it could be said that the timing of the rapture isn’t really that important. Why? Because every person must still be spiritually ready to face their own personal judgement day. Being alive at the time of the rapture is no guarantee of salvation, particularly for those who have not produced fruit worthy of repentance; those living in sin who have allowed themselves to be convinced that mere acceptance of JESUS has given them the right to claim eternal salvation. (OSAS)
