There's a lot of convoluted history behind what led to Project 2025, and that's likely on purpose.

This is a place to collect information about that history into one place. Hopefully, this will also help increase awareness and discussion about everything that is truly behind this history.

Any odd or interesting information relating to the Heritage Foundation, and it’s members or affiliate groups is welcome here.

If you’ve got obscure information/articles written by or mentioning people like Paul Weyrich, Ed Feulner, or information about other associates and affiliate organizations, such as the Coors Brewing family , the Council for National Policy (CNP), State Policy Network, and countless other shady ties, please drop them here.

“Project Russia,” Unknown in the West, Reveals Putin’s Playbook (washingtonspectator.org)

Between 2005 and 2010, a set of books called “Project Russia” was distributed to high-ranking officials in the Russian government and other influential thought leaders. The books offered a detailed program of spiritual warfare against Western democracies culminating in “controlled global collapse” and the establishment of a “supranational” state headed by a Prince-Monk who “best understands the world.” The plan described is ultimately a program for subjugating the world, which would also be united together in a single religion.

This all may sound fantastical, or even absurd. But the Project Russia plan comports very closely with what’s unfolding now, and has been linked to groups acting on behalf of the FSB, Russia’s security agency. It’s worth considering the ways in which this plan also reflects the inflection point we now face in the United States.

Another way to describe it might be as a “monarchy” at a global scale, where Putin is effectively “King of the World.”

This vision of Putin as the “Prince-Monk” is, of course, aspirational. Russia is weak in many ways, and needs to square its global ambitions with geopolitical facts. Xi Jinping is backing Russia’s efforts to the hilt, at least as long as he believes China can benefit from this global reordering. Elon Musk appears to be Putin’s point person in the United States, and is doing everything he can to accelerate destabilization. We can envision the resulting autocracy as one led by Putin, Xi, Musk, and a handful of their trusted henchmen.

I don't think it's all that far fetched except, at the time this was written most people didn't realize Musk was simply standing in as a place holder for Peter Thiel's protege to receive Senate confirmation as Trump's science advisor

Putin has actually been referenced under a pseudonym in other published works too. If you think the Project Russia pseudonym is wild, you should read this article from the Atlantic about Putin's favorite fictional book, which clearly references him as the hero of the story, but somehow preemptively predicted Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

Putin Is Just Following the Manual

Mikhail Yuriev’s 2006 utopian novel, The Third Empire: Russia as It Ought to Be, anticipates—with astonishing precision—Russia’s strategy of hybrid war and its recent military campaigns: the 2008 war with Georgia, the 2014 annexation of Crimea, the incursion into the Donetsk and Luhansk regions the same year, and Russia’s current assault on Ukraine.

What's an even crazier coincidence, is that the author of that book is also part of a group of Oligarchs who donated to Mike Johnson's campaign in 2018. While American Ethane was co-founded by American John Houghtaling, at the time it was 88 percent owned by three Russian nationals—Konstantin Nikolaev, Mikhail Yuriev, and Andrey Kunatbaev. Nikolaev is known to be a top ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

It would be cool if somebody could interview that guy, but unfortunately, nobody can because of the same reason most Oligarchs can't answer any questions about weird coincidences they're linked to.
