There will be in the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak. Producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution." (Aldous Huxley 1894-1963)
They don't need to burn books when most are too burnt out to want to read them.
People are kept so desperate any distraction found becomes a rabbit hole of propaganda with tailored algorithms.
I don't think #Huxley (or Orwell) could imagine how far we have let get the truth get from us.

You donโt have to read all the pages. You canโt.
I printed out sections of it and read them. The tone of the Foreword sets the tone for the rest. I think we are in Phase 2 now. But we donโt know exactly what that entails.

Trump Is No Longer Denying Support for Project 2025
The President has changed his tune on the conservative policy plan after actively distancing himself from it in the past.
#47 lied repeatedly to the public when he said he had never heard about #Project2025- his former administration (lawyers, including the architect, Russell Vought) worked on it. #47 was mentioned in it 312 times. It was created for him.

Trump administration demands universities sign up to โcompactโ in return for funding
Critics say linking funds to adherence to the White Houseโs principles undermines academic freedom
Federal funding to universities is appropriated by Congress. Trump asks them to sign an "agreement" to get preference for future funding. This is exerting control over higher ed.
History rhymes. University professors in Italy were subjected to this in 1931 by Mussolini.

A โhostile takeoverโ: ousted CDC official raises alarm over RFK Jr approach to infectious disease
Debra Houry speaks after testifying on eight months under Kennedy, who critics say shuns science and spreads falsehoods
This is just the beginning.
"The CDCโs priorities have changed dramatically."
โIt really represents a hostile takeover of the agency...it gives me concern about what we can trust coming out of the overall agency as well, not just on vaccine safety.โ

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear spells it out.
The Big UGLY Bill, w/ cuts to Medicaid will likely cause rural hospitals to close or shrink. Rural hospitals drive local economies. Their loss will cause a domino effect.
