Heritage Foundation, authors of Project 2025, has now released a 33 page “Project Esther” document calling for the use of RICO, immigration, “counterterror” and hate crime laws plus the Foreign Agents Registration Act to destroy the pro-Palestine movement.

This might be to support Israel’s plan to depopulate Gaza, it might be an attempt to disable the hard left from fighting Project 2025 by forcing us onto defense, it might be both at once.

The only thing is, this attack has a return address: Heritage and all their top staff. Already Heritage is being counterattacked with protests at both their headquarters and the homes of Project 2025 authors. They have been doxxed and doxxed again. Heritage is not in a good position to open a second front in the war they already declared against us with Project 2025.

The more they push, the more people they will make this conflict existential for. They are going to regret that. Outfits like Heritage depend on donors and corporate partners. As we learned with Huntingdon Life Sciences, such organizations are very vulnerable to activists (even peaceful protesters if this remains possible) standing on their economic air hose by targetting donors and business partners. It doesn’t cost a bank or a stockbroker much to stop donating money to Heritage or to a university seeking to deport student protesters, just as it didn’t cost them much to dump Huntingdon Life Sciences.

It’s just not worth keeping investments much less donation recipients who come with side orders of everything from terrible press to nasty security problems. Believe me, a few of the “high net worth individuals” may stick with Heritage or one of those universites through thick and thin, but enough of them (being just greedy capitalists and nothing more) will bail to bring down the whole mess.

I am still here. Huntingdon Life Sciences is not.
