Hacktivists release two gigabytes of Heritage Foundation data

A politically-oriented cybercrime group carried out the attack in response to Heritage’s Project 2025.

An established cybercrime group with a track record of attacking political targets posted on Tuesday roughly two gigabytes of data from the Heritage Foundation, a prominent conservative think tank based in Washington, D.C.

Self-described “gay furry hackers,” SiegedSec said it released the data in response to Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, a set of proposals that aim to give Donald Trump a set of ready-made policies to implement if he wins this fall’s election. Its authors describe it as an initiative “to lay the groundwork for a White House more friendly to the right.”

The data, reviewed by CyberScoop, includes Heritage Foundation blogs and material related to The Daily Signal, a right-wing media site affiliated with Heritage. The data was created between 2007 and November 2022.

That seems kind of worthless.

Well, it's funny as hell. Also, you should read the self-pwn associated with it.

Granted all the gay furry hacker collectives im associated with are slightly less political and more Australian.

Why? The data is out there, and they want to delete it. The pdf on their site, everything.

SO, WHY is it "worthless" to encourage everyone who cares to take looks and download docs and learn the literal plans and actual articulated secret strategies?

How is having this information worthless, @Jimmy Higgins ? Did you dislike my post? Do you dislike planning or fighting back against fascism?

I change my mind often, please, persuade me, how worthless is this trove of information?

Should I delete this infographic? It's comparing Donald Trump's Agenda 47 to the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025.



"Worthless" to know one's enemy or fight back? Sit down and type out all of your talking points, please; I would love to hear this. Talk us into it?

I think it's too early to determine whether it is worthless or not. Two gigs of data is a lot to go through.

Former President Donald Trump has been caught on video praising a think tank whose plans he now says he didn't know existed.

The right-wing Heritage Foundation brought together several MAGA thought leaders from Trump's orbit to craft their "Project 2025," a plan to radically expand the powers of the executive branch under a second Trump administration.

The plan promises, among other things, to oust career civil servants in the federal government and replace them with people who are staunch loyalists of the president.

However, in a video unearthed by NBC's Vaughn Hillyard, Trump's speech to the Heritage Foundation reveals he knew that they were crafting the plan for him.

Project 2025 was supposed to boost Donald Trump's campaign — but it may be backfiring instead | Salon.com

When Project 2025 was released, a number of progressives expressed surprise that Donald Trump's army of authoritarian schemers would boldly publish their plan to destroy American government as we know it. The over 900-page document, commissioned by the people expected to run another Trump White House, is a laundry list of the far-right's most politically toxic ideas, from banning abortion nationwide to mass firing federal officials who believe in protecting public health and safety. One would think that Trump and his allies would try to keep their sinister plans out of public view. Instead, Team Trump published their fascistic blueprint on a website for anyone to read,. They even proudly display the menacing "Project 2025" label on the front page.

But really, it's not that surprising. The MAGA right learned years ago the value of hiding their wicked plans in plain sight.

Biden-Harris HQ on X: "Trump's Project 2025 leader: "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be” (vid link)" / X

Trump himself regularly employs this strategy, giving speeches where he declares that his goal is "retribution" against political opponents, promises pardons for the January 6 insurrectionists, and characterizes anyone who objects as "vermin" who need to be eliminated.

... We saw this strategy with the Supreme Court's recent presidential "immunity" decision. It's factually correct that it gives Trump a license to kill, but anyone who speaks this fact is accused of "Trump derangement syndrome" and "madness" by Republicans.

Show up and show out when it’s time to vote because it’s not just about the presidential election you guys.”

Then “They are trying to bring the draft back. Who do you think they’re going to draft first?” and “Our careers, our next generations to come. Did you know that it is now a crime to be homeless? Pay attention. It’s not a secret, look it up. They are attacking our most vulnerable citizens,” and The Project 2025 plan is not a game. Look it up!”

Then “I’m not trying to scare us, I’m trying to inform us. We’ve got three Supreme Court seats up you guys, we need those seats, or we have no protection,” and “OK, I got it out my system. I’m talking to all the mad people that don’t want to vote. You’re going to be mad about a lot of things if you don’t vote.”

The grift behind Project 2025: Leader John McEntee made an app to hustle cash from lonely MAGA men | Salon.com - a dating app, "The Right Stuff". However, it's mostly men who have signed up for it.

Amanda Marcotte:

McEntee appears to be yet another one of the seemingly endless stream of masculinity "influencers" who have created a perfect grift cycle for themselves. First, identify alienated men and promise them a path out of loneliness and into the heterosexual relationship of their dreams. Second, encourage those men to adopt even more repugnant behaviors that make it even harder for them to attract women. Then, when those men become even more frustrated, push them further to the right, blaming all their problems on feminists, liberals and LGBTQ people.

It's a schtick we've seen from Jordan Peterson to Andrew Tate to the Proud Boys. I call it the male insecurity-to-fascism pipeline and, from a purely sociopathic viewpoint, it's evil genius. Marketing toxic masculinity as self-help benefits both the authoritarian cause and the influencer pocketbooks. MAGA figureheads get to tear down liberal society and make money doing so. They simply don't care that, in the process, they aren't just hurting most Americans. They're doing real damage to the men who follow them by encouraging them to adopt attitudes and behaviors that will make life harder in every arena, from work to romance.

Donald Trump's fake rejection of Project 2025 has angered his biggest fans | Salon.com - July 11, 2024 6:01AM (EDT) - by Amanda Marcotte - "Far-right trolls Alex Jones and Nick Fuentes don't seem to get Trump is only pretending to be more moderate"

Nice to see them feeling so hurt and betrayed and backstabbed.

"They are scared": Trump runs from Project 2025, claims not to know what it's about | Salon.com

Many central figures behind Project 2025 aren't just Trump supporters—they also worked in the top echelons of his administration. One of them, Trump's former White House personnel director John McEntee, said that Heritage and the Trump campaign plan to "integrate a lot of our work" later this year. Another, Trump's former budget chief Russ Vought, is both advising Project 2025 and sitting on the Republican National Committee's platform committee this year.

...
Trump's own Super PAC is promoting the project as "Trump's Project 2025" while the GOP nominee himself has repeatedly declared his support for key parts of the agenda, including the implementation of a rule that would allow the president to remove civil servants at will and set the rest of Project 2025 in motion.

"I will wield that power very aggressively," Trump said in a campaign video last year.

The rest of Project 2025 includes proposals to dismantle the Department of Education, restrict access to birth control, strip away workers' protections, terminate clean energy incentives and grant tax cuts to large corporations and wealthy Americans. Much of it seems eerily familiar to Heritage's "Mandate for Leadership," a policy blueprint for Trump's first term that the former president embraced.

“Trump gets told by his advisers and people who really just don’t want competition in his new White House.… ‘Oh God, these are radicals, sir. You’ve got to come out and distance yourself,’” Jones said, according to Newsweek. “It’s the Heritage Foundation, Trump. And again, Trump’s really smart; he’s got good instincts. He doesn’t understand Republican machinery,” Jones continued.
