The group that drafted a key blueprint for Donald Trump’s second term convened a meeting in Washington D.C. this week to consider proposals for bulldozing the European Union (EU).
The Polish investigative outlet VSquare revealed that the Heritage Foundation gathered hardline conservative groups on 11 March to hear how they would overhaul the current structures of the EU.
The “closed-door workshop” featured a debate on a new paper produced by the lobby groups MCC and Ordo Iuris entitled: “The Great Reset: Restoring Member State Sovereignty in the 21st Century”.
US looking to destabilise and destroy a democratically formed group / nation state for their own interests? Shocker.
The American Heritage Foundation needs to pound sand.
They need to be put on a terrorist watch list.
They reallllllllllllly hate unions
Sounds like an act of war
It’s not the first and it’s not going to be the last.
Most EU members are small and easy to bully for a country the size of the US if on their own (and in fact many were bullied by the US before becoming EU members) and even the mid-sized ones could be pushed around, but a block of 470 million people with a larger GDP than the US cannot be pushed around just like that, so it’s absolutely in the best interests of the elites which control the US and a very large fraction of its Economy (and hence stand to gain the most from any bullying by the US of other nations) to want to dismantle any association of small and middle sized countries that makes them capable of dealing with the US as equals.
Why do you think it was wealthy Americans who funded the Leave side of the Leave Referendum in Britain (for example, by paying Cambridge Analitica to use Facebook to manipulate people into voting Leave)?! It’s just that, no doubt to their great disappointment, removing Britain from the EU did not significantly weaken the EU, only Britain, and they already had vast influence in British politics so don’t really gain much from Britain leaving the herd to go out all on its own.
shit like this reminds me how much I love the EU
I really think any countries which may try to leave the eu should think about how well that went for Britan.
Ugh I’m so sick of these Heritage assholes. There’s needs to be an American progressive counter organization.
Oops, all fed boi honeypots!
The Heritage Foundation is a treasonous organization. They need to be stopped. I fail to understand how Project 2025 isn’t outright sedition, and it should’ve been treated that way by Biden.
It’s been clear to anyone who read it that P2025 planned to dismantle the government and shred the constitution. If they were left leaning, the FBI would’ve been so far up the Heritage Foundation’s ass, they would’ve been looking through their eyes like a Scooby doo painting.
It’s the whole “they go low, we go high” mantra of liberals.
While in reality they’re going nowhere but the hotel bar.
ok so let’s do these quickly:
- declare the AfD unconstitutional in Germany
- make Marine Le Pen ineligible in France
- destitute Viktor Orban in Hungary
Romania already banned its fascist candidate. The others should do the same
- All the others like-minded installed puppets by or via RF/CCP & Co.
( remember the Huawei case in Belgium) and Chinese Police Station in Europe)
(ed links)
absolutely, the list can be expanded as much as needed! thank you for the links :)
I just had to follow your example,)
Great plan! I’ll tell all my EU family to vote for you—haha
I like this list. Should have been done already. Especially Le Pen and Orban—they have been on our radar for so long it’s absurd how they’ve been allowed to fester. AfD needs to go. I also am extremely skeptical and have my eye on Sahra Wagenknecht with her praise of Putin.
Sovereign countries have the right to remain sovereign and defend against foreign and domestic interlopers who wish to end their sovereignty. I’m rooting for you and if I gets bad enough I hope I can be allowed to lend myself to your fight.
ha <3 keep your vote for someone more competent than me, you’ll find me on the barricades but not in the parliament :-)
Wagenknecht belongs to these people who believe that appeasement works with the extreme right. You give them what they want and they’ll be happy, they’ll keep their word and you’ll be safe. Yes of course you had to sacrifice a few marginalized people on the way, but that’s a fair price to pay for peace, right? RIGHT? oh shit, now the leopard is also eating MY face. 😱🙀

Isn’t he the “We Heeben een serrious probleem” guy?
I am truly, honestly and in all seriousness scared. I have already sought professional help, have my First Session tomorrow but i must say… The Things that Happen These days worry me to a Point where i am truly afraid of the Future.
Ive never been more worried in my life. Not for myself so much, I’m older so i won’t have to live that long in their authoritarian future. I’m extremely worried about my 25 year old son, and my 3 year old niece. This will be their world.
It is really affecting my son, who is losing hope, and so are his friends. They don’t see a future of freedom and pride in their country. My son made friends from all over the world when he was in college, and even they are worried about the future of the world with a Nazi regime in America.
If there isn’t a Musk file on me yet, there will be, and eventually the list will reach my name. I’ve been thinking about what would radicalize me beyond propagandizing on Lemmy (now that im permabanned from Vichy Reddit after 12 years and nearly a million karma for anti-Trump posts), and all patriotic, loyal Americans should be thinking about it, too. I have to stick around as long as possible for my wife and son, but if something were to happen to them, especially my son, then I’ve got nothing to lose, and it’s on, and i go full on guerilla warfare.
Yes, they want you like that, like a scared little middle class, who just wants to work for a corporation, watch some sports and go skiing.
You’re not allowed to go out alone. At least take a few Nazis with you.
I can relate for sure. Not to the same degree as you, from what it sounds like, but definitely very worried for the future.
That said, I do believe Europe is more resilient than the US here. And while that has been my main pain point with the EU for a long time, the fact that it’s not very democratic might make it even more resilient to fascist take-over.
Stay strong! I hope the help makes you feel better. We will prevail
No more doomscrolling for you. Spend time with real people face to face, and you’ll feel the difference within a week.
Head-in-the-sand strategies wont work, you’ll just pull your head out to a worse situation. It’s better to learn to put your fear and anxiety to use, keeping the treason of these Nazis in front of the entire world. Make them know how despised they are in decreasing polls. Resist everything they are doing, and encourage your friends. Apply Malicious Compliance wherever possible. Keep the pressure on your government officials. Recent town halls for both Republicans and Democrats have been heavily attended by EXTREMELY angry citizens. They need to know how angry we are, and how immensely outnumbered they are.
Lean into your worrying, transform it into anger, and let that fuel your resistance.
If the situation really is that bad, you’ll hear about it without any doomscrolling. If you don’t come across a topic in normal casual conversations or by reading papers in a library, it’s probably not actually that urgent.
There’s so much unnecessary doom and gloom floating around on mainstream social medias that I can’t really consider them a healthy option for news consumption.
I AM hearing about it without doomscrolling. Do you watch ANY news, or any other media?
This isn’t just Liberal propaganda, these people are really dismantling our government at a record pace, and they are deliberately doing it recklessly to cause the most chaos. Not only can we NOT avoid it, we SHOULDNT avoid it. We need to turn our fears and worries into white-hot anger at what these MAGATurd Nazis are doing to our nation, and the world.
It’s serious, so you should act accordingly. Stay strong. Just participate and influence your future. Use whatever means you are comfortable with.
My dear pool noodle do you pay any attention at all?
Apparently not. Or maybe it’s just poor wording. You be the judge.
This is such a privileged take. And I know because I’m also privileged. I’m a straight, white, cis, male. I grew up in an Evangelical Christian home, and could pretend to be Christian if needed (though I won’t). You and I are lucky enough to be able to ignore this until we “hear about it without doomscrolling.”
Like you do realize that this means that you’ll hear about it when shit is really fucking bad. I guess fuck trans people, right? Wouldn’t want to hurt my mental health to hear about the literal genocide that’s coming.
If you allow minorities to be oppressed, it will eventually lead to the oppression of larger minorities. Eventually, they’ll also find a reason to come after you as well. Maybe it’s the freckles, or pizza toppings or political opinions. Either way, oppression has a tendency to expand.
I understand where it comes from, but I think this is just bad advice. We cannot encourage people to ignore what is happening.
There are healthier ways to stay informed. Doomscrolling has a tendency to cause intense emotions that probably aren’t very helpful during a time when staying focused is important. People shouldn’t ignore what’s happening. Instead, they should try to fix the problem. Unnecessary anxiety and fear is just counterproductive.
They are all talk and no action. Don’t worry.
They haven’t been able to properly implant a tariff and that’s the simplest thing in the world.
All bark and no bite?
Did you see the clips of “Venezuelan gang members” being shipped to El Salvador, who was happy to accept them? In the past few years i saw photos and videos of Russian prisoners and Chinese Uyghurs treated exactly the same way, with outage from the Western media and officials. Now were doing it, too. Instead of seeing those reports as a cautionary tale, MAGA Traitors saw them as a game plan.
People like Kapo Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller and Steve “Unwiped Asshole” Bannon want to treat their American citizen enemies the same way, and worse. Miller has said that he wants to reduce the population of America to 100 million, from its current population of 330 million. How do you think a Nazi loving freak like him intends to reduce the population by 70%?
Viciously barking dogs are often vicious biters as well. When a dog is barking, its best to heed the warning.
Pretty sure the USA have been doing extraditions and puting prisoners in off-site camps (Guantanamo anyone?) since long before trump.
Sure they have, i remember the 9/11 aftermath, and Abu Ghraib, very well. But we didnt brag about it, we didnt prepare video packages to be distributed to the news media. They knew what they were doing was inhumane and they tried to hide it. They werent PROUD of it, like these MAGANazis.
Also, there is a huge difference in what happened before, and what they are planning for in the future. America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. Our maximum security prisons average around 800-1200 inmates. The largest, in Angola, LA holds about 8300.
Guantanamo Bay holds less than 150, but they are currently building a facility there that will hold 30,000 people, almost 4 times larger than our largest maximum security prison, which itself is about 4 times larger than average.
Clearly they are planning to house an enormous number of people in a facility in CUBA, which is under the purview of the Russians, and outside the view of the courts and the media. Why would they need a facility to hold 30,000 people if they are going to deport them all? It seems like a place that large will be used for long-term detainment, and what’s the point of that for illegals? They’ll just get sent home. More and more, we are seeing lightning fast deportations, and it becomes clear that these cells will be holding political enemies who have broken Trump’s new Executive Orders.
2 days ago, he did a formal, scheduled media appearance with his AG Bondi, in which he very clearly stated that he will be going after the people who investigated his ties to Russia, the Insurrection, the Stolen Documents, etc., he specifically said that they “belong in prison.”
When a President takes the time to make a formal announcement to the media, with his AG at his side, that is NOT simple political rhetoric, nor partisan gamesmanship. It is the announcement of a new policy, and he just announced that he intends to imprison his political enemies.
They’ve already arrested that Palestinian activest from Columbia U, who literally broke no laws, who has a green card, is married to an American who is 8 months pregnant, and they won’t let him see a lawyer. They are testing the waters by muddying his case up with undocumented migrants. If nobody speaks up much, then they’ll move to the next level, and start rounding up American dissidents. You can bet that they going over case files right now, looking for the best test candidates to detain.
Bottom line is that the difference between the past and now is that in the past they were disappearing foreign terrorists. Now they intend on disappearing American citizens, and a LOT of them.
The US wants to add the US to this list United States involvement in regime change. They are not our friends!
The ”everything is a russian conspiracy” theory seems more plausible every day…
Because it is. And everybody denying it is a complete idiot.
I mean a lot of things are. Russia definitely wants to destabilize the west as much as possible. But like, not literally everything that Russia could do and would benefit them is actually done by them. We gotta focus on the big picture and not get lost in the weeds of, for example, whether Russia is to blame for the Smolensk air disaster, or every single Baltic underwater cable break in the past 2 years.
The way it’s going I think we’re closer to seeing the USA dismantled
Exactly, but how can Russia’s newest puppet sta… cough… ally help with the next phase of the plan.
Weird they dislike the ECB and the European Union, they give us bangers like bank bail-ins and CBDC, to deal with their strangulation of productivity investment and diminishing living standards.
To demonstrate my skepticism towards the Europeans’ ability to leave behind their zombie banking system, unmarketable debt, and complete dependence on suppressing price discovery - consider the following policy reactions orchestrated by the European Central Bank (ECB) since the 2008-09 crisis:
• European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF)
• European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism (EFSM)
• European Stability Mechanism (ESM)
• Outright Monetary Transactions (OMT)
• Long Term Refinancing Operation (LTRO)
• Long Term Refinancing Operation II (LTRO)
• Long Term Refinancing Operation III (LTRO)
• Tripartite Committee consisting of ECB, IMF, EC agreement (TROIKA)
• Forced austerity and bailouts of Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain
• Activation of FED USD Swap Lines
• Asset Purchase Program (APP)
• Corporate sector purchase programme (CSPP)
• Public sector purchase programme (PSPP)
• Asset-backed securities purchase programme (ABSPP)
• Covered Bond Purchase Programme (CBPP)
• Covered Bond Purchase Programme II (CBPP)
• Covered Bond Purchase Programme III (CBPP)
• Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme (PEPP)
• Quantitative Easing (QE)
• Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP)
• Negative Interest Rate Policy (NIRP
etc…
“The Trump administration’s most influential think tank, The Heritage Foundation, is receiving proposals from illiberal forces in Poland and Hungary” This part is very interesting. Are we assuming these groups are just excuses for their own agenda, or would this even be up for discussion had they not received the proposals? Something else?
