Musings is Fun & Politics — Tech is just Tech 
K–5 charter schools sound harmless until you see a mother choose a school that advertises her six‑year‑old will be raised with “social justice first” instead of reading, writing, and arithmetic. When that same mother is anti‑ICE “warrior” Renee Nicole Good, shot dead in a street confrontation with a federal agent, the lesson plan stops being theoretical and starts colliding with the law.
Bottom Line Up Front: Reporting from our remote Florida Swamp news desk – Project 2025 Trump denials before the election have morphed into rapid implementation after. Multiple tracking sites now confirm one-third to half of Project 25’s objectives are already complete or underway.
Trump’s campaign statements painted Project 25 as “absolutely ridiculous and abysmal.” Now its authors and contributors fill his cabinet – 18+ hold key positions. The same blueprint Trump claimed to “know nothing about” is being executed at breakneck speed.
Here’s the documented timeline of how “I know nothing about it” became the administration’s actual playbook.
Rule of law became America’s favorite weapon for creating instant criminals out of entire ethnic groups – Chinese with opium, Mexicans with marijuana, Catholics with alcohol, and Black Americans with heroin. While lawfare dates back to ancient times, America’s drug-based version has been the playbook for 150 years.
America perfected the art of weaponizing law enforcement long before anyone coined the term “lawfare.” The pattern is brutally simple: identify a group you want to control, associate them with a substance, criminalize that substance, then use selective enforcement to destroy their communities. It’s not conspiracy theory when Nixon’s own advisor admitted it in a 1994 interview.
Rule of law and lawfare aren’t opposites – they’re two sides of the same ancient coin, and AI assistants completely missed it. Without one the other could not exist. ChatGPT, Claude, and others treat lawfare as a “modern concept” from 2001, ignoring 4,000 years of evidence stretching back to Hammurabi’s Code in 1750 BCE. The truth? Legal systems have always favored ruling classes over subjects, creating systematic bias disguised as neutral justice.
This three-part series reveals how rule of law and lawfare operate as partners in organized oppression. Part 1 exposes ancient foundations from Babylonian class-based punishments to medieval French officials using legal processes to “clog administrative systems” and “bury English officials under a deluge of legal cases.” The evidence is overwhelming: whoever controls the law gets to cram it down opponents’ throats. The “rule of law” isn’t justice – it’s organized power disguised as neutrality.
