Project 2025
A Plan for Dictatorship or a “Glorious Vision” for the USA?
Outlining specific actions to be taken within the first 180 days of the new, incoming Republican Administration
Meeting # 3,787 - college moderator Tim Bolger
Tim Bolger will give a factual account of what Project 2025 does, and how it will impact the US and its government. Tim will outline the overall details, and highlight some spots where it can be a most dangerous blueprint for society, and the goals some people mistakenly think “is a glorious vision” for the country. In short a comprehensive analysis of Project 2025.
From the Project's website:
"Project 2025 is a plan outlining specific actions to be taken within the first 180 days of the new Republican Presidential Administration. These actions aim to provide swift relief to Americans affected by the Left’s policies.
Organized by the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 has brought together 45+ right-of-center organizations that are ready to get into the business of restoring this country through the combination of the right policies and well-trained people.
In November 2016, American conservatives stood on the verge of greatness. The election of Donald Trump to the presidency was a triumph that offered the best chance to reverse the left’s incessant march of progress for its own sake. Many of the best accomplishments, though, happened only in the last year of the Trump administration, after our political appointees had finally figured out the policies and process of different agencies, and after the right personnel were finally in place."

Punting on the One Yard Line
How the United States Ruling Class is Tearing the Entire Country, as well as the Planet, Apart
Meeting # 3,788 - college regular Jonathan Barton hopes to stop this process
The speaker states that "The United States ruling class, which is currently dominated by the political, economic, military, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, fossil fuel, corporate media, big agriculture, fundamentalist religion, intelligence (HA !) and surveillance establishment would rather allow their destructive system to tear the entire country, as well as the planet, apart rather than concede that WE THE PEOPLE have more than earned the right to self - govern, and that we are fully qualified, skilled, motivated, united and ready to independently enact structural change which reflects everyday folks values, dreams and hopes for a complete civic reordering of our communities. The result of WE THE PEOPLE 'VOLUTION' is a mutually agreed upon way of life based on PEACE / LOVE / EQUALITY / LIBERATION / DEMOCRACY / TRANSPARENCY / JUSTICE / SOLIDARITY ."
