Heritage “Project EstHer” targets ALL dissent

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.

Women’s March go-go style noise protest at the Washington DC headquarters of the Heritage Foundation.

Video from Women’s March noise protest at Heritage Foundation.

Video has emerged of the Nov 9 Women’s March go-go style noise protest at the Washington DC headquarters of the Heritage Foundation.

The protesters were there because with Donald Trump as President-Elect, it is quite likely that Trump will attempt to implement the viciously misogynistic, homophobic, and transphobic Project 2025 proposals.

Project 2025 was written by Heritage Foundation staffers and former Trump staffers from his 2017-2021 term in office. Trump tried to distance from Project 2025 prior to the election but nobody believed him. There are so many Christian nationalists in the US this didn’t matter however.

Go-go style protests have been a DC staple since the 2919 “Don’t Mute DC” campaign that defeated an effort by condo owners to stop a phone store from playing go-go music on their outdoor speakers on Georgia Ave.

On the 9th of November, Project 2025 authors Heritage Foundation got a protest at their headquarters in Washington DC. This comes a week after one of their Project 2025 thugs got a protest at their home days before the election.

MAGA hecklers can’t stop Tampa anti-Trump protest

On the 9th of November, anti-Trump protesters gathered in front of City Hall in Tampa, FL. This was as four huge commercial events flooded downtown with massive car and foot traffic.

This gave the protest unusually good visiblity, but also exposed it to a steady stream of pro-Trump hecklers. Even MAGA hats were visible within the supposedly civilian crowd on the street.

Speakers called out Project 2025 and the spread of abortion bans. Another said the Democrats were responsible for their own defeat by running candidates (not just this time around) who ignore the needs of their base and instead do things like funding and arming genocide.

Speaking of Project 2025, in DC today protesters marched on the Heritage Foundation, authors of Project 2025.

One speaker bluntly warned that Trump, Vance, and DeSantis and their extremist fanbase have “entered a war with us” without realizing what they are getting into.

Remember, unlike the IOF in Gaza, they cannot use their air power and artillery against us without hitting their own people and their own assets. If Gaza can hold out, so can we.

Protesters at Orlando Federal building stand against both Trump and genocide in Gaza

On the 6th of November, protesters gathered outside Orlando’s Federal building one day after the election that is returning Fuhrer Trump to the White House. Protesters denounced the dangerous Fascism of Trump and worried about the uncertain times ahead. They also called out Harris for supporting continuation of Biden’s genocide in Gaza-and charged that this played a major role in Trump’s victory and thus in the dangers ahead.

In the just-concluded election, both Harris and Trump supported continuing US support for genocide in Gaza.

TWO DAYS TO GO

Some of the “StormTrumpers” on patriots(dot)win are openly boasting about preventing use of selected ballot drop boxes in Democrat areas of Georgia.

Raw boasts about keeping all but 16 ballots out of a drop box suggests use of extreme levels of harassment. This is confirmed by words in the comments below the image ” I was texting people to go to that shit location.” Also buried deep in the comments are calls for watching for ballot transport vans. This should be considered a threat of attack against whatever vehicles transport ballots from drop boxes.

Heritage Foundation board member and Project 2025 coauthor Darryle Owens gets a home demo.

On the 2nd of November, over 30 people with three pitchforks but no torches (due to Charlottesville) showed up at the Minneapolis home of Heritage board member and Project 2025 coauthor Darryle Owens.

Getting doxxed about being one of the Fascists behind Project 2025 isn’t something that just happens online anymore. It has real-world “pitchforks and torches” (well hold the torches after Cville…) consequences!

Confronting Trump supporters in downtown Tampa with chants of “Lock Him Up!”

Nothing infuriates MAGA meatheads like chants of “Lock him up! This one began in lampooning Trump’s own “Lock her up!” threats against his 2016 campaign opponent. Once Russiagate broke and serious impeachment calls began, “Lock Her Up!” was doubled back against Trump as “Lock Him Up!”

Although Trump has been convicted of a long list of felonies in many jurisdictions, if he gets into the White House he will be one of the very few people who does NOT have to worry about being sent to prison in the US. This of course gives him a very strong incentive to play dirty and attempt to seize power by force if he is defeated in the actual election.

THREE DAYS TO GO

Palestine supporters rally near much-loved Orlando Health to demand end to bombing of hospitals in Gaza

On Nov 1 2024, Orlando pro-Palestine activists gathered near the big Orlando Health hospital. Speakers explained that they had no issue with the place and in fact love it. Rather the issue is that similar hospitals (ALL of them) have been bombed in Gaza and the bombing continues.

The bombs are “Proudly made in the USA.”

Amazon’s CEO gets a direct action home visit over Amazon’s Project Nimbus that provides the IOF with computer services.

Anonymous submission: TRICK OR TREATING AT JASSY’S HOUSE

Need a new place to dump your trash, paint, eggs, silly string, or any other undesirable objects? Look no further than [redacted address] – the home of Amazon CEO Andy Jassy.

It can be easy to forget that genocide enabling companies are made up of real people who make real decisions that lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths. It’s for this reason that a group of community members took it upon themselves to egg and spray paint Andy Jassy’s house in the early hours of halloween morning.

Background:

Amazon Web Services (and Google Cloud) is currently in contract with the israeli occupation forces (iOF) via Project Nimbus – a 1.22 billion dollar deal that provides cloud computing infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and other technology services to the iOF, which has drastically sped up israel’s ability to surveil, track, target, and bomb Palestinians since 2021. In an expose published by +972 Mag, israeli occupation forces gush at the the “exponential capacity of the AWS public cloud” and it allowing the IOF to have “endless storage” for holding intelligence on almost “everyone” in Gaza. israeli military operatives rely so much on Amazon’s AWS so that one source who used the cloud-based system during the current war described making “orders from Amazon” for information while carrying out their operational tasks, and working with two screens — one connected to the army’s private systems, and the other connected to AWS.

Seattlites specifically, and all people in the so-called US have a unique position to disrupt big tech like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Meta, and the companies and people who are complicit in and actively profiting off of genocide deserve no peace.
