When one listens to or reads the news, one really gets overwhelmed. There's so much going on - bloodshed, rumors of ramping up wars, genocides, kidnappings, etc. Sometimes, something of significance might fall through the cracks. Episode 149 of MARS MESSINA PRESENTS addresses the topic of Project 2025, a 922 page document created by conservative think tank, The Heritage Foundation. The authors of this proposed plan that they suggest should be implemented by a potential second Trump administration beginning on January 20, 2025 call this document - one that they, themselves, created and probably over years - a "red herring" and a "Democrat fever dream". Liberals, on the other hand, have raised alarm bells over the plan. To discover what the plan was all about for myself, I managed to read 300+ pages of it and parsed through research conducted by conservative, liberal, and independent groups concerning Project 2025. I quote the language straight out of the plan, to boot. I have concluded that we should NOT let this fall through the cracks, for reasons that are laid bare in this episode.

For BEDTIME STORIES FROM THE ACOUSTIC BOOKSHELF, I give you a short synopsis of the novel, MESSIAH, by Gore Vidal.
