Project Esther is coming for the Socialists

JVL Introduction

Schuyler Mitchell details how the ultra conservative Heritage Foundation’s Project Esther is a plot to delegitimise and proscribe all socialist and progressive politics in America under the guise of a campaign against alleged antisemitism. A plot drawing on the heritage of Joe McCarthy; not necessarily the heritage they are trying to invoke in the foundation’s title.

It is appropriate, but not in the way they intend, that they they append Martin Niemoller’s famous warning ‘First they came for the socialists…’ to their description of the project.

The Heritage Foundation is not marginal, it is well funded and connected and its Project 2025 has provided the script for the Trump presidency.

Project Esther projects a mythical “Hamas Support Network” (HSN) coordinating a campaign against Israel as a means of undermining American society. Mitchell does a fine job of exposing this fantastical claim and the purpose behind its fabrication. The project website itself states as a ‘key takeaway’:

Supported by activists and funders dedicated to destroying capitalism and democracy, the HSN benefits from the support and training of America’s overseas enemies.

Project Esther Is a McCarthy-Era Blueprint for Crushing the American Left

While the Heritage Foundation document focuses on the Palestine solidarity movement, its ultimate target is far broader.

  • We know of course that the MSM was totally complicit in the A/S black op against Jeremy Corbyn and the left, and that they have also been complicit in the demonisation of the pro-Palestinian anti-genocide marchers, and they will no doubt play along with Project Esther. And what it amounts to – and HAS amounted to – is a black propaganda war by the Psychopaths on the Empaths.

    But unlike the Palestinians in Gaza who are helpless to fight back against Israel’s war machine, WE can fight back with the truth, exposing all their numerous lies and falsehoods and smears to the millions of people who have been deceived and duped. And we need to get the majority of Jewish people on our side as soon as possible.

    Practically the whole of the MSM in the West – and every single MSM outlet in the UK – have been complicit in keeping it from their viewers and readers and listeners that the 40 beheaded babies story was a falsehood and atrocity propaganda AND that only one baby was killed on October 7th, albeit unintentionally – ie ten month old Mila Cohen. Amongst numerous other lies and falsehoods, we need to get this out to as many people as possible. France 24 covered it in December 2023 in the following (AFP) article:

  • Project Esther is somewhat similar to the suspect actions (allegedly) carried out in the LP when KS took over. As most will know, the party suffered a breach in security resulting in the loss of an undisclosed quantity of members’ personal data entrusted to the party. It slowly emerged that a private company had ‘lost’ this data. I asked the LP (a). Which company lost the data? (b).what was the reason for giving that company members’ data? And (c). Who authorised that company to be employed to carry out the unnamed task which necessitated allowing this misplaced trust? Answers came there none. My feelings, based on one of the Forde Report’s observations (the members investigated for possible anti-semitism or other offences were predominantly on the left of the party) was that the unnamed company had been set the task of providing ‘evidence’ enabling the member’s suspension or expulsion. Simply conjecture on my part but I am a natural sceptic when secrecy happens to defend the status quo and position of the New Broom.
