The cancer attacking representative democracy in the US is Project 2025. It has spread to every corner of government and is about to metastasise into Project Esther to extinguish the patient.
If we can have a fair, free election to stop the cancer’s spread, it will take a complete re-establishment of the Constitution with amendments to close the loop holes, and probably 100 years to overcome the dictator’s judiciary and the impacts of the executive orders.
And, the work to create an informed electorate that can THINK and recognize propaganda must succeed. White Supremacy and Misogyny will require a complete re-enacting of civil and equal rights…The Church has implored; the question is can the church reform…
Thank you, Lynn. And I agree. I’ve been talking to some local pastors in the United Methodist Church here in Oklahoma about the need for a spiritual transformation in America … one accomplished by a consortium of churches plus other groups to bring everyone together to fight the dark forces currently on the ascendant here is America. It won’t be easy, but I’ll be advocating for this from my non-religious foundation … the museum I created two years ago on Route 66.
Thank you for this detailed analysis of the crisis facing America (and by default, global democracy). I had not heard of Project Esther before, and it’s terrifying to think the McCarthy Era could come back … this time turbocharged by modern social media … a compliant mainstream press … and a compromised Supreme Court. I will share your article widely!
A powerful and horrifying article. As a Jewish person, I have always known this thing about “combatting antisemitism” on the part of the Trump regime (I refuse to call it an administration; it’s administering nothing) was just a tool to advance an agenda of “othering”. Nothing this regime does under the guise of this sham can be trusted. Once the Project Esther aims have been achieved, Jews will be chucked in the “other” basket along with anyone else who disagrees with these foul individuals. And they call themselves Christians! Jesus (that well known Jew) would have been appalled to see what they’re doing in his name. So much for healing the sick, blessing the poor, feeding the hungry etc.
I won’t live to see these awful humans defeated. I sure hope my kids will.
Thank you for your comment, it helped because I've been seeing this very thing, but, the 47th regime has been very good at blurring the lines and confusing the masses over supporting Netanyahu, threatening anyone of a broader mindset, but, not necessarily standing with the Jewish people & certainly not Gaza. I've wondered when their blanent using the of Jewish Nation would no longer be to their advantage & think we're getting close, if not there, as 47's regime has pretty much shown their true colors of white rich straight nationalist men being the top of the hyarchy & all others are lesser than systematically. 47 no longer feels the needs permission from anyone to do anything he wants, especially when it comes to planting his foot on others territory. It does my heat good to see the worlds people pushing back hard against his tyranny though & gives me hope we can root out this evil once & for all. TC , I wish you peace 🕯️
No worries, Suzy. (Yep, I’m from Down Under - New Zealand) Trump is 100% transactional, so will sell out both Israel and the Palestinians in a New York minute if it suits him. Stay strong (kia kaha, as we say here) - we’re with you.
Friend. You are preaching to the converted. The ones that need to understand the message are our MAGA friends and families. I suppose that’s on each of us - to make the effort to ask the hard questions of them. But their psychology is so defensive, and their conclusions unfalsifiable. The process of conflict is traumatic. To make progress without conflict, leave preaching and complaining aside. Instead, ask simple but powerful questions and be ready to provide clear common-sense answers. Thanks for the grist. More content on the “psychology of stupidity” would be helpful.
Thank you for your contribution to the conversation. I doubt Jesus himself could convince many of our MAGA friends of anything other than to remain misguided. I’m not here to draw pictures for them or speak in the language of Trump. I merely articulate my thoughts for anyone who might care to listen.
I do however do video content for those who can’t read.
Again, it's using religion to surpress and crush the people. They pretend to align with Jews but they support making this a fundamental Christian only country, and they support the white supremists who shout Jews will not replace us! Like Bibi they hide behind their religion to make people suffer. The genecid will spread. Any person in America who doesn't go down fighting is liable to end up in a snake pit (an early answer for shock treatment) or with a lobotomy courtesy of the current regime.
Please stop referring to the idiot in the White House as the leader of the free world. The US is not the world leader and the only place Trump is leading is into a hole we may never recover from!
I did notice, that democrats are being blamed for this at the beginning of the diatribe; not a word about republicans not doing their jobs in congress, where they had control to stop Trump in his tracks before much of this became reality. Talk about republicans; they are actually the main culprits & the Supreme Court, who made this monster, by allowing him to break laws & carry out crimes & not accountable or penalized for them. A convicted criminal was elected for president; what did you expect??
"My only hope is that the inherent good in us can prevail over the cruelty that is never far from the surface of who we are." Um, yeah.
OK, I have something wonderful to contribute, an animation that was finished after Israel's retaliation didn't offer a climate for people to appreciate it. It's 2 minutes. Try it, you'll like it:
The Trump administration’s targeting of pro-Palestinian activists is central to its effort to drain college and university campuses of their contentious, democratic life.
By Sameer Ashar
This article is part of a series, "Trump Is Revealing Our Higher Ed Crisis."
On January 29, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order titled “Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism.” The order, which builds on a prior executive order from Trump’s first term, represents a complete abandonment of universal principles of the rule of law.
While the Biden administration encouraged suppression of campus protests against US complicity in Israel’s military operations in Gaza after October 7, 2023, in doing so, it at least alluded to such principles. The administration consistently put Islamophobia beside antisemitism as discriminatory forces that it sought to abate. By contrast, Trump’s recent executive order drops any pretense of universality and explicitly targets supporters of Palestine.
This is all so terrifying and very hard to take as it is so utterly unbelievable in a sentence “ The United States of America having the same voting rights as Russia” If any of us had said that just last year we have been labelled mentally ill….
Tell me more, I'm a 5 brain tumor survivor in living in an area that would no more have the therapy as Jeremy Renner ( who i highly admire) than the freaking man in the moon!
Great analogy.

Another active group worth following in radical, wild change in the Church is the Global Prophetic Alliance, Glasgow, Scotland.
Thanks for that suggestion. Scotland? Interesting… home of Sean Connery
I’ve been following the P 2025 tracker and it’s terrifying. The enactment of Project Esther will decimate free speech and make elections a farce
Which site are you using to track Project 2025? Thx
https://www.project2025.observer/
There are some others u can find if u google Project 2025 tracker
Also Andra Watkins on substack has a ton of in depth knowledge about Project 2025. It’s called For Such a Time as This

I know where you’re coming from, but the words are used for good reason.
Once again Martin, your insight and knowledge are truly incredible.
More of us - particularly Americans need to know about this…thank you!
Thank you for your very kind words Margaret. People like you provide the fuel to keep me doing this.
Shared with my sons.
