Project 2025, Christian Nationalism, and American Jews - with Rabbi Dr. Jay Michaelson 9-19-24
In this critical conversation, author and columnist Rabbi Dr. Jay Michaelson explores the implications of Project 2025, a policy agenda coordinated by the Heritage Foundation that aims to reshape American governance under the banner of Christian Nationalism. Their vision poses profound challenges to the separation of church and state and could have far-reaching consequences for American Jews and other religious minorities.
Rabbi Dr. Jay Michaelson is a columnist for the Forward, a contributor to CNN, and a weekly commentator on religion and politics in his newsletter, Both/And. He has twice won the New York Society for Professional Journalists award for opinion writing, wrote the first long-form analysis of Christian Nationalists' redefinition of "religious liberty" in 2013, and was the first to report on Leonard Leo's impact on the Supreme Court, in 2018. Jay holds a JD from Yale Law School, a PhD in Jewish Thought, and nondenominational rabbinic ordination. Learn more about him and sign up for his newsletter at JayMichaelson.net.

    What would be really helpful in understanding Project 2025 is some sort of infograph or schematic diagram that compares and contrasts how pertinent government operations work now and how they would possibly work in a post Project 2025 world. Long form narrative dialogues like this video and the numerous articles published on this subject are great, but that's all basically text based. Visuals would really cement a lot of what is vary much abstract.

    I do believe that more effort should be put into revealing the project 2025 to the general public. The consequences of implementing it on everyone in everyday life will be horrific. Absolutely agree with opinion of commentator about very real treat and that it is a treasonous plot to subvert democracy. It already tested in some forms in some states. Despite all negative results out of that kind of tests, like in FL, policies still in place and governing body along with legislators do not have interest to change things. Autocracy, lack of transparency, intimidation of opposition by law enforcement, attacks on education, culture, environment. The way how I see it, the authors of that project didn't understand the fabric of society, they focused only on values of one preferred group and wrote everything to meet the expectation of that group. In a way it is their idealistic utopia to create the "perfect society". Nope, not going to work, proved by history. And to avoid the mess it could create within society it should be brought to light and explained to the general public, that one particular group wants to dominate above all others. It is a nazi ideology, doesn't matter what kind of stars and flowers sprinkled around it. And yes, church and state should be separate. Thank you for all your efforts and for speaking up.

    20:42 "The fight for Jewish safety IS the fight against broader anti-Democratic extremism, and hate, including and especially, the rise in Christian nationalism right now. And so too is the fight for our democracy, and for all communities [Gaza?] rights and safety, the fight against antisemitism." - Amy It took me a lot of effort to transcribe that because she talks so fast. I had to write it all down before I could even try to figure out what she had said. I want to introduce myself to Amy and to the rest of you. I'm a political activist, now retired. I just want to say I think the above statement is complete bull sh*t. It is laughably stupid. There is no "fight for Jewish safety" in the US, you are perfectly safe here. The idea you are not is laughable. There is the Jewish zionist law-fare against our First Amendment with your anti-BDS legislation. Amy's statement fails to consider the safety of Palestinian communities. What about their rights? You can CALL it antisemitism, or Christian nationalism, or pink elephants, but if there is any actual rise in bad attitude towards Jews in the last year, it is because of our deep DISGUST at how horribly Jews are treating Palestinians. You can't mass murder babies, brag about it online, and then expect people to like and approve of you, no matter what you say about antisemitism. The Palestinians are semites, so Israel is actually committing antisemitism by killing them by the thousands. Where is your conversation about their religious freedom?

    Pure and simple, In SHORT sentence, Project 2025 is literally KKK reborn. Period. It is aimed to bring all the benefits, advantages for only one Race, that is "White supremos". The US justiciary found a "White President" guilty of all charges is absolutely not tolerable and stomached. So the system must be reversed back to the KKK Era protecting 100% Whites against all races. No white are subjected to any penalties against any and all crimes committed by the “White”. So Law MUST be CHANGED To Protect all whites against all the Colors. Case of Point: Black Obama was deflated from his presidency. Kamala Harris was demonized, bashed, and smear campaigns from the VP position to prepare the brainless public, specifically all the colored people to follow the "Whites Designed Programs". But elected a white instead of any colored top tickets. Further, one can see the flooded slenderness of j Lo v. ben Affleck. J Lopez an accomplished singer, dancer, actress v. a actor Ben Affleck and an alcoholic who is protected in a safe harbor, but J Lo hit by the hurricane, storm and earthquake from the news media and those brainless colored pundits, critics follow the "White Trap" to eradicate any and all colored elicits from all facets of the prize. Oscar and Nobel Prize- two institutions promoting, and advocating the "White Supremacist" agendas loud and clear, but no one even detected what's wrong with the two award organizations' real agendas. Yes, these two from time to time pick up some colored winners for window dressing, nothing more, But mislead the public. Evangelical was/is the KKK. That’s what the Project 2025 and White Christian Nationalism About. “White Supremeist Era at 21st Century Reversion. “White People” Please speaks the truth rather than thrown the arrow every other way but admitting it is all about “White Supremacism Agenda”. Period.

    Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian. Neither Judaism nor Christianity existed during his time. He was a Muslim and all his descendants were Muslims. Muslim is an Arabic word meaning submission to God. Who could be a better example of submission to God than Abraham? Islam is an Arabic word meaning submission to God. The religion of all the Prophets including Jesus was Islam. The Prophet Muhammad prophesied that when Jesus returns the whole world will become Muslim. God says that all Jews and Christians will become Muslims before the death of Jesus after his return to earth. Chapter 4 verse 159. God has said very clearly that if anyone comes to Him with a religion other than Islam it will never be accepted from him and he will be in hell. Chapter 3 verse 83. All mankind should embrace Islam before they die otherwise they will be losers in the eternal life after death.

    "The Great Controversy between Christ and Satan" Ellen G. White, 1888, rev.1911 modern day passages from a true modern day Prophet of God.... Chapter 16-The Pilgrim Fathers In that grand old document which our forefathers set forth as their bill of rights-the Declaration of Independence-they declared: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” And the Constitution guarantees, in the most explicit terms, the inviolability of conscience: “No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.” “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” GC 295.2 “The framers of the Constitution recognized the eternal principle that man’s relation with his God is above human legislation, and his rights of conscience inalienable. Reasoning was not necessary to establish this truth; we are conscious of it in our own bosoms. It is this consciousness which, in defiance of human laws, has sustained so many martyrs in tortures and flames. They felt that their duty to God was superior to human enactments, and that man could exercise no authority over their consciences. It is an inborn principle which nothing can eradicate.”-Congressional documents (U.S.A.), serial No. 200, document No. 271. GC 295.3 Chapter 25-God’s Law Immutable “And he had two horns like a lamb.” The lamblike horns indicate youth, innocence, and gentleness, fitly representing the character of the United States when presented to the prophet as “coming up” in 1798. Among the Christian exiles who first fled to America and sought an asylum from royal oppression and priestly intolerance were many who determined to establish a government upon the broad foundation of civil and religious liberty. Their views found place in the Declaration of Independence, which sets forth the great truth that “all men are created equal” and endowed with the inalienable right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” And the Constitution guarantees to the people the right of self-government, providing that representatives elected by the popular vote shall enact and administer the laws. Freedom of religious faith was also granted, every man being permitted to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience. Republicanism and Protestantism became the fundamental principles of the nation. These principles are the secret of its power and prosperity. The oppressed and downtrodden throughout Christendom have turned to this land with interest and hope. Millions have sought its shores, and the United States has risen to a place among the most powerful nations of the earth. GC 441.1 Such action would be directly contrary to the principles of this government, to the genius of its free institutions, to the direct and solemn avowals of the Declaration of Independence, and to the Constitution. The founders of the nation wisely sought to guard against the employment of secular power on the part of the church, with its inevitable result-intolerance and persecution. The Constitution provides that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” and that “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.” Only in flagrant violation of these safeguards to the nation’s liberty, can any religious observance be enforced by civil authority. But the inconsistency of such action is no greater than is represented in the symbol. It is the beast with lamblike horns-in profession pure, gentle, and harmless-that speaks as a dragon. GC 442.2 Chapter 36-The Impending Conflict.... Those who teach the people to lightly regard the commandments of God, sow disobedience, to reap disobedience. Let the restraint imposed by the divine law be wholly cast aside, and human laws would soon be disregarded. Because God forbids dishonest practices, coveting, lying, and defrauding, men are ready to trample upon his statutes as a hindrance to their worldly prosperity; but the results of banishing these precepts would be such as they do not anticipate. If the law were not binding, why should any fear to transgress? Property would no longer be safe. Men would obtain their neighbor’s possessions by violence; and the strongest would become richest. Life itself would not be respected. The marriage vow would no longer stand as a sacred bulwark to protect the family. He who had the power, would, if he desired, take his neighbor’s wife by violence. The fifth commandment would be set aside with the fourth. Children would not shrink from taking the life of their parents, if by so doing they could obtain the desire of their corrupt hearts. The civilized world would become a horde of robbers and assassins; and peace, rest, and happiness would be banished from the earth. GC88 585.1 Satan works through the elements also to garner his harvest of unprepared souls. He has studied the secrets of the laboratories of nature, and he uses all his power to control the elements as far as God allows. When he was suffered to afflict Job, how quickly flocks and herds, servants, houses, children, were swept away, one trouble succeeding another as in a moment. It is God that shields His creatures and hedges them in from the power of the destroyer. But the Christian world have shown contempt for the law of Jehovah; and the Lord will do just what He has declared that He would-He will withdraw His blessings from the earth and remove His protecting care from those who are rebelling against His law and teaching and forcing others to do the same.Satan has control of all whom God does not especially guard. He will favor and prosper some in order to further his own designs, and he will bring trouble upon others and lead men to believe that it is God who is afflicting them. GC 589.2 While appearing to the children of men as a great physician who can heal all their maladies, he will bring disease and disaster, until populous cities are reduced to ruin and desolation. Even now he is at work. In accidents and calamities by sea and by land, in great conflagrations, in fierce tornadoes and terrific hailstorms, in tempests, floods, cyclones, tidal waves, and earthquakes, in every place and in a thousand forms, Satan is exercising his power. He sweeps away the ripening harvest, and famine and distress follow. He imparts to the air a deadly taint, and thousands perish by the pestilence. These visitations are to become more and more frequent and disastrous. Destruction will be upon both man and beast. “The earth mourneth and fadeth away,” “the haughty people ... do languish. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.” Isaiah 24:4, 5. GC 589.3 And then the great deceiver will persuade men that those who serve God are causing these evils. The class that have provoked the displeasure of Heaven will charge all their troubles upon those whose obedience to God’s commandments is a perpetual reproof to transgressors. It will be declared that men are offending God by the violation of the Sunday sabbath; that this sin has brought calamities which will not cease until Sunday observance shall be strictly enforced; and that those who present the claims of the fourth commandment, thus destroying reverence for Sunday, are troublers of the people, preventing their restoration to divine favor and temporal prosperity. Thus the accusation urged of old against the servant of God will be repeated and upon grounds equally well established: “And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim.” 1 Kings 18:17, 18. As the wrath of the people shall be excited by false charges, they will pursue a course toward God’s ambassadors very similar to that which apostate Israel pursued toward Elijah. GC 590.1 Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the people under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of spiritualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience. GC 588.1 The dignitaries of church and state will unite to bribe, persuade, or compel all classes to honor the Sunday. The lack of divine authority will be supplied by oppressive enactments. Political corruption is destroying love of justice and regard for truth; and even in free America, rulers and legislators, in order to secure public favor, will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance. Liberty of conscience, which has cost so great a sacrifice, will no longer be respected. In the soon-coming conflict we shall see exemplified the prophet’s words: “The dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Revelation 12:17. GC 592.3

Ellen Gould White, 1917, Prophets and Kings, 277.

GC 588.1 As the Protestant churches reject the clear, Scriptural arguments in defense of God’s law, they will long to silence those whose faith they cannot overthrow by the Bible. Though they blind their own eyes to the fact, they are now adopting a course which will lead to the persecution of those who conscientiously refuse to do what the rest of the Christian world are doing, and acknowledge the claims of the papal sabbath.

    It appears the development of religion, and its growth into the biggest business of all time, has far more to do with the human psyche, and the damage done to it, during the time from Noah, through II Isaiah, more than 1,700 years later. This, after whatever severed mankind's connections to its distant past, before about 6,000 years ago. The trail fizzles out with the Sumerian/Chaldeans and the Egyptians, with some Chinese and Indian cultures hazily before, but few others we know for certain. All humans were subjected to nightmarish conditions for generations, according to stories told to us in "myths", "legends", and "Bible stories". The bulk of these speak of titanic catastrophes, unbelievable events, and/or unimaginable privations. Religion, as we know it today, grew out of events in the 12th Century BC, when Zoroaster created his religion (still going ~3,200 years later), Jews became monotheistic, and, probably, Akhenaten developed his version of the concept (Egyptology is a confused mess). This was the time of the Fall of Empires, and the arrival of the Boat People, the world a mess, everywhere, all the old "gods" revealed for the frauds they were. The new gods were much more effective, if shattering rock walls of cities was your need. Religion was born of unimaginable destruction, by wind, lightning, water, and earthquakes, and humans reached the breaking point, in the region the Israelis claimed, at the time.

    All American voters need to pay attention to what's going on, and stand up for REAL American democracy. Just found this and INSTANTLY subscribed. Thanks for being here. BTW - I've been using the 'CONNECT THE DOTS' line for a couple of months online, glad someone else is using it to promote awareness and intelligent discourse. ----- READ. LISTEN. THINK. LEARN. --- CONNECT THE DOTS. VOTE!!! NO RED HATS! THE DIXIE/DICKSICRATS HAVE KILLED THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. THEY ARE THE REAL 'RINOs'. THEY ARE RED HATS. THEY ARE RACISTS. THEY ARE CHRISTISTS. THEY WANT TO PUSH THEIR AGENDA ON EVERYONE ELSE. THAT IS NOT DEMOCRACY. THAT IS NOT AMERICAN. THEY ARE FASCISTS WHO WANT TO KILL AMERICAN DEMOCRACY. THIS IS NOT 1957. THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW. IT IS THE 21ST CENTURY. NO FASCISM. NO CHRISTIST DOMINION. FREEDOM FROM FASCISM, FROM AUTOCRACY, FROM RELIGIOUS DESPOTISM, IS THE AMERICAN WAY.
