MRFF’s Mikey Weinstein Responds to “Project 2025” Authors Getting Naval Academy to Cancel Historian’s Lecture on Authoritarian Regimes
“I mean of COURSE it would be UNTHINKABLE to have the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, host an internationally acclaimed subject matter expert in how the world’s militaries react to authoritarian leadership.”
“How DARE any DoD installation, like Annapolis here, invite somebody who wants to teach the INVALUABLE lessons of history regarding how our world’s armed forces have fared when controlled by a ruthless, fascist, autocratic regime?”

” Are they afraid that the Academy’s midshipmen, faculty, and staff, being an intelligent audience, might, on their own, see the parallels between the historical authoritarian regimes that Professor Ben-Ghiat intended to talk about and the imminently dire authoritarian threat of a second Donald Trump administration?” YES, that’s exactly why the Trumpies got this lecture cancelled!
George Orwell’s prescient words alive and well as the Neo-fascists attempt to take the helm of what once was a democracy, their Project 2025 a blood-letting purge of thought and critical thinking.
The Academy’s foundation being “we teach how to think, not what to think,” a bulwark of sound critical analysis techniques for future leaders to have in their toolkit when faced with combat decision making abilities.
Project 2025 and its Heritage Foundation Christi-fascist controllers are the antithesis of an open and free society that produces a military capable of handling exigencies effectively rather than the blame-game mandates of acolyte leadership incompetence, similar to that of making Paul Bremmer the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, effectively giving Iraq to the theocratic leadership in Iran on a silver platter as just one example of top-driven incompetence driven by a cult of personality.
As Neil deGrasse Tyson teaches, “knowing enough about a subject to think you’re right, but not knowing enough to know that you’re wrong,” the bane of the autocrats on the right and Trump cultists in the Heritage Foundation, et al. as they gaslight you into disbelief of what you see with your own eyes.
Those in the cult creating a dystopia that will relegate this country to a forgotten has-been status, the empire over, the dying remnant of what once was a great nation with high ideals, the process already underway with “States Rights” at the forefront of the dismantling of a republic, socializing the cost of red [taker] state failures, Christian Nationalism at its “opiate-of-the-masses” core.
Critical thinking at our service Academies is just that, critical to successful military outcomes. Cancelling Dr. Ruth Ben-Ghiat’s guest speaker analysis at the Naval Academy just one more Orwellian purge orchestrated by the Christo-fascists as part of their organized downward spiral.
Following Galileo, we shouldn’t be teaching how to get into Heaven, we should be teaching how the heavens go!”
“We’re NOT going back!”
Just being reported that many on Trump’s Truth Social being scammed out of hundreds of thousands of dollars by bad actors that flock to a target rich site put together by the scammer-in-chief, Scittsinpants himself.
I can’t think of anyone more deserving of being scammed than Trumpies. You know, the “don’t wear a mask and gather in large crowds” cultists that follow the old Orange-Man, critical thinking never in their arsenal, unable to discern the most rudimentary of attacks on their pocket books.
No sympathy. They handed over their money. Wasn’t like somebody hacked their accounts and stole their life savings. They were willing participants.
The irony is, once having lost, in some cases, hundreds of thousands, they turn to the ….. wait for it …… Government to help them get their money back! You know, the very organization they’ve been told to hate!
“They’re eating your dogs, they’re eating your cats, they’re eating the geese, and other things they’re not supposed to eat. COVID is a hoax, climate change is a hoax, you can’t trust the government!”
I think it’s fucking hilarious! And now they’re crying to the government about how they were scammed ….. on Trump’s Truth Social, and have lost their asses! Well, we’ve been telling you you’re following a complete loser for some time now! It’s not like it ought to be news to you that everything about your Dear Leader is one big scam!
Yeah, good luck with that! The only thing true about Trump Truth is that you are lower hanging fruit! Keep believing!
Oh, and send money! Trump’s still got a LOT of legal bills he wants you to pay for!
Too funny! “Fools and their money!”
History being made. Let’s help protect the MAGA morons from themselves, as much as I hate to say it. Vote Blue!
The water on the beach is receding MAGA. Don’t wade further out! A tsunami is coming! Get yourself to the Blue rocks on higher ground!
Well, the USA has been backing right wing authoritarian regimes for decades while making a big stink about left wing ones while complaining and whining about the “resurgence” of Marxism taking over this country
Yep, we’re the “Marxists,” as they strip away their health care, minimize social security payouts, capping social security taxes so the rich don’t have to pay for the infrastructure built by the middle class, paying less than you do as a percentage of pay!
Gaslighting and projection, every right-wing tirade a confession!
“You can’t fix stupid,” as Ron White said years ago!
But you can VOTE!
Do it now. Take your friends to the poles. Make it a Blue Tsunami!
You can see the crevice. A Blue bridge gets you over it. That Red rope MAGA is throwing you from the other side gets you into it, untethered on both ends!
Amazing how Trump shits his diaper on stage at his rallies and talks about how the other side has left an open border, after he tanked a $14 Billion dollar border security deal so he’d have something to run on!
But his base is so fucking stupid they think that Trump is, somehow, going to secure the border? Kind of like how he secured it during his four years in office, his deportations less than Biden’s?
Not to mention that he had a super majority when he took office but fucked it up completely. So where’s this wall he said was going to stop fentanyl coming across the border? He built 50 miles of new wall that he said Mexico was going to pay for. Stole money from FEMA and the DOD to help pay for it, and …. Fentanyl deaths soared under Trump? Know why? Because fentanyl isn’t being “packed” across border crossings away from ports of entry, it’s coming through ports of entry being brought in by, wait for it, US citizens! But Trump’s cultists will believe anything Schittsinpants tells them because, well, you know, you can’t fix stupid!
Trump’s supporters are just plain fucking stupid! Trump will destroy what little quality of life they have left and gaslight them into believing that Mexicans “pouring over the border,” you know, the ones doing the jobs that nobody else will do, are somehow to blame for everything wrong in their lives!
If your life sucks ….. Mexicans!
Can’t get health care … Mexicans!
Social Security gets privatized … Mexicans!
Housing costs too high … Mexicans!
Your kids failing in school … Mexicans!
Medicare gets gutted … Mexicans!
Insert issue here … Mexicans!
And Haitians and Puerto Ricans, Latinos, childless cat ladies.
I should have added Obama and Hillary – everyone knows they’re running the country!
The mother fuckers are the Party of Stupid, no other way to say it.
Obama is a Muslim. Jews killed Jesus. Space lasers cause California fires, hurricanes are sent by the Government! The Government controls the weather. We didn’t land on the moon, JFK Jr is still alive, the earth is flat, aliens live among us, the earth is 6,000 years old, there were dinosaurs on the Ark, ivermectin cures Covid, everything is a hoax, Trump wants a National sales tax, we’re going to round up 21 million starting on day one, the military will be used to round them up, let’s give Ukraine to Putin, we’re going to get out of NATO, no climate agreements – fossil fuels all the way! Drill baby drill, get rid of solar and wind energy, tariffs on ALL imports, a National abortion ban, the monitoring of women’s menstrual cycles, public education money stripped from public schools, do away with the Dept of Education, defund the FBI and the DOJ, fire all the Generals in the military, yeah, a great outlook for Magadonia! If you’re a woman, get them shoes off and get your ass in the kitchen where you belong!
Ever wonder how Hitler and the Nazis came to power? You’re seeing it first hand! One look at Stephen Miller and you know how they came to power! When they open their mouths? No question how it happened!
Seen the movie Idiocracy? ‘bout sums it up!
Christianity (one particular flavor) the National mandated religion.
Show these mother fuckers the door! Dangerously dumber than a bag of hammers.
Out The Door In 24!
VOTE AND GET OUT THE VOTE!
Blue wave has begun, record early voting turn out!
Trump says there will be a bloodbath if he doesn’t get elected. Bullshit! They like their freedom too much! You might get a few one offs but they’ll get over it! Or get their asses locked up! They saw what happened to their MAGA buds from J6. Some of them boyz are gonna be in there awhile – don’t drop the soap!
We’re NOT going back!
Blue vote! You’re freedom depends on it!
Yup, funny how people are saying immigrants get anything and everything while Americans can’t get anything but they don’t offer any proof.
And they believe that God talks to them, hearing their own voices in their heads doesn’t constitute a divine message, it calls for evaluation by medical professionals!
Fucking idiots! The good news is they self identify as having a mushy pre-frontal cortex by telling you they talk to God. Easy to stay away from them!
They’re in the MAGA crowd. “Where they go one they go all?” If we could just get one of them to fill their pockets with tools and walk into the ocean!
Like bugs to a light, so goes the attraction to the Orange-Man’s fat white diaper-covered ass! He managed to kill off a million during the Covid “hoax.”
Authoritarian to the core! As fascist as they come!
“Never wrestle with a pig, you both get dirty and the pig loves it!” Leave the pigs to wallow in their own Trump filth while the rest of us gets on with it!
VOTE BLUE! Tsunami coming! Ride the wave! Purge the scourge!
bahahahahahahaha!!!!! Im dying! Dude said “Blue Tsunami”
lolololololol
Yep, the results I hoped for did not materialize. There are many reasons Trump won, for one all the media with the exception of a few Democratic leaning podcasts were in the bag for MAGA. Been that way for at least a decade. Traditional media doesn’t protect Democracy here/now, they protect their bottom line and MAGA is very good for business.
Tons of other reasons, hopefully the higher ups will take heed. The kids have already been posting on what not just the Biden admin but Democrats writ large did wrong. They were fair but brutal, causing an earthquake within the party. This is good because when a body so robust shakes it causes tsunamis – the ripple effect works. Heads up, midterms are two years away.
Those of you who voted Harris, we aren’t done protecting our country and the Constitution. We may have lost this battle but we’ve not lost the war.
Take a break, get hydrated, stay frosty and keep your head on a swivel. When you are ready come back to the battle. Your voice is needed.
Fact more humans chose to sit out this election than those who did their duty. We all know one or two. It’s our job to have the conversations as to why their voice is necessary to effect the change they say they want to see. Point to current events as proof.
Gaza is gone. Project 2025 is real – we did say but got told time and again that we were hysterical or it was only hyperbole. There are too many clips of MAGA’s joyfully telling women their autonomy is gone (your body your choice? No, your body my choice, forever).
We did say.
