PP #40: It's a Honey Trap

Giavana, Pia and I are on the road, once again, to a different state capitol in order to process docs to hasten our escape. As I’ve been urging, you and your family should also think hard about what’s to come. It turns out, we’ve all been duped into focusing on the wrong thing all along. Project: Pioneer is the live weekly reality journal of a couple and their small dog as they leave their ‘normal’ life in a luxury apartment for a new semi-off grid life in a small recreational vehicle. We cover prepping, politics, spirituality, afterlife, RV life, and personal finance. Most posts are free, more personal posts are to reward our loyal paid subscribers. You can listen to and subscribe to the audio podcast version of this journal at Substack, Apple, Spotify, PocketCasts and others). “Honey Trap, you say? Whussat?” A honey trap is an alluring trap that’s sprung to catch a cheating spouse in the act. Maybe porn, maybe an exotic dancer, you get the idea. I’ll tie that in and make my point shortly. There’s a closely related term, “honeypot,” that’s related to my prior IT security and ethical hacking background. Same deal. And, I’ll get back to our regular programming, full-time RV life, prepping and all that in the next post, but this is more important. Urgent, in fact. I’m sure folks think I’m trying to be sensationalist in these posts, and likely think I’m sensationalist because that’s what sells newspapers. But, guess what. I have hundreds of subscribers, but very few have actually paid anything (thanks, Mom!). It’s not about that, and it’s proof I’m not being sensationalist for profit, cuz there is no profit. It feels bad, but I get it, free is free, and maybe it’s not regarded as worthy of a few measly bucks. Whatever. We all have bigger fish to fry, and my goal is to build awareness, to help people escape what’s coming, to fight it, maybe prevent it, and have a plan in case we can’t. I was at an urban music festival in the oppressive heat this past weekend. While I sat enjoying the music, all around me were typical regular people doing the same. Joyful and dancing, even in the heat. Kids of all races running through an open hydrant with a sprinkler attached, laughing together. This looked like America. There were biracial couples, same-sex couples, adults of all colors enjoying the music and engaged in casual conversation and laughter. There were street vendors cooking up all manner of delicious ethnic foods. I’m sure many of them were those “evil” undocumented individuals we keep hearing about, working their butts off over those stoves and smokers in the hot, hot, hot weather. No red hats, and no hatin’ goin’ on. Imagine all the people, livin’ life in peace. Nobody got raped or shot. What a great day, but I couldn’t help but think, “This is all going away very soon.” Read on to discover why. All us normal and decent folk have been hyper-focused on Trump, the vile human being (?) he is on every level of, well, humanity. He’s that sexy hooker to all those cult-like followers who were previously in a relationship with “conservatism” and conservative idols like Ronald Reagan. The problem with Reagan, the “former spouse,” was that good ol’ Ronny was no dummy. Coming from California, he understood how critical immigrants are to our economy, especially the illegal ones who are forced to pay billions in taxes for stuff they can’t use. Bazinga. Reagan gave amnesty and a path to citizenship for 3-4 million illegals. OMG! That’s the problem with that former “spouse,” if you’re a common immigrant-hating racist “conservative.” Now here comes this new sexy (?) guy, with a long history of blatant racism against black and brown people, spouting off about, well, hating on and abusing immigrants (not the white kind from Europe). Very racist-alluring! And so, we got the crowning of King Trump, the new leader of millions of cult members, taker-over of the whole dang Republican party. It’s always been curious how a man of such low intellect, who’s always only ever crapped on an actual golden toilet, could become the hero of so many downtrodden working-class folks. But, hate is hate, and hate is strong. But here’s the thing. I was never quite satisfied with that. There had to be something else at play. It turns out, Trump is just a stooge, as most dim-witted folks are. He’s being played as hard as he’s playing his followers for petty cash, souvenirs, and cheap love. The truth of this came to Giavana and I as we sat one morning last week watching an interview on TV. This dude who immediately reminded me of Voldemort (evil guy from Harry Potter) was a guest on a left-leaning program. We were working, but as his words started to penetrate through our work focus, we both pivoted to rapt attention. He’s the leader of the Heritage Foundation (the org that’s been feeding Trump his Supreme Court picks) and Project 2025 (the playbook for what will be implemented immediately if Trump wins and takes office). It became clear in a heartbeat. He wasn’t even trying to sugar-coat it or be evasive in any way. Watch it yourself if you don’t believe me. I’m not sensationalizing. The whole plan is online for anyone to read (or, choose the Wikipedia). It’s called a “Mandate.” They’re not fooling around. They’re not hiding the incredible plan they have for you, your kids, your grandkids. It became apparent their goal is to transform America into a white, Christian-fascist version of Saudi Arabia. They dream of a return to 1940s Mayberry RFD neighborhoods, people of color tucked back into the shadows and ghettos, out of sight. Or, maybe even further back, to the infamous Willoughby (my favorite Twilight Zone episode). Narrator: It was just an illusion, here’s what that was really like: Here’s what it will really be like, instead, for you—a dystopian hellscape like in Saudi Arabia and other authoritarian countries they want to replicate with Christo-fascism here in the US: * Uber-wealthy country, but wealth concentrated in just the ruling class at the top. * No income equality—only royalty and peasants. No pesky middle class. * No elections. Totalitarian, authoritarian regime and religious doctrine jammed down your family’s throat and ruling with an iron fist. * Rules for thee but not for me. You can even butcher journalists in other countries with no repercussions. * No pesky immigrants or religions other than “the one.” * Straight white folks only, other in the shadows. * Women covered at all times, relegated to kitchen and bedroom. No interfering with important man stuff like drinking, sports, gambling, whoring, businessing. Think I’m foolin? Here are the “highlights” of Project 2025: Abolish the Dept of Education. This means your kids have one choice—expensive paid, private schools and for sure they will shove that national and evangelical Christian doctrine right down their throats. Abolish the Dept of Justice. No pesky law enforcement to hold the ruling class accountable for their criming. They plan to fire massive numbers of expert civil servants all through our government, and replace them with sycophant golf buddies and low-IQ Trump lackeys. This is what we saw in Trump’s administration, the chaos of scandal and screwups as he put his Mar-A-Lago golf buddies in charge of critical government agencies. Unitary Executive. This means, essentially, “The President is king, and everything is under the king’s control.” Imagine that. Trump in your bedroom! Ew. Immigration. Project 2025 calls for the immediate rounding up and deportation of around eleven million undocumented immigrants, even the “dreamers” who were born here, have never lived anywhere else, and many serve in our military. That means no more people out there in the fields, hence no more fresh groceries on store shelves. No more of those people like the ones that died doing roadwork at 5am on that bridge that collapsed in Baltimore, because nobody else could be found to do that work. The Heritage dude in the interview was giddy … This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit billydecarlo.substack.com/subscribe
