Project 2025 Private Training Video: Conserving America (ProPublica) (www.youtube.com)

ProPublica and Documented obtained more than 14 hours of never-before-published videos from Project 2025’s Presidential Administration Academy, which are intended to train the next conservative administration's political appointees “to be ready on day one.”

Project 2025, the controversial playbook and policy guide created by the Heritage Foundation for a future conservative presidential administration, has lost its director. In recent weeks, it faced scathing criticism from both Democratic groups and former President Donald Trump, whose campaign has tried to distance itself from the effort. But Project 2025’s plan to train an army of political appointees who could battle against the so-called deep state government bureaucracy remains on track.

For transparency, we are publishing the videos as we obtained them.

I recommend listening to these at 1.5x speed, he's using hypnotizing techniques with his voice (sing songy and slowly putting you into a trance). You can counteract these techniques by listening to it faster. You'd probably do it anyway, since it's slow as shit.

Up until about the 14 minute mark, he is providing the basis of history to say that the entire government is based on nature, thus it's based on god (slipped that in there, he did). Then he goes on to say that there is a lawful revolution inherent in the constitution if there are "longstanding abuses." This is starting to be some scary shit.

"No government possess rights, only the people do, they only have power." He's saying schools and churches are who are supposed to be governing the US.

A strong caveat to listening to any of it is that it doesn't have a rational or coherent basis so none of it actually makes logical sense. It requires an exceptionally white and christian upbringing to catch all the winks and nods, and that's kind of the point of it.
