"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills."
John F. Kennedy

Special Projects

Climate collapse, thoroughly corrupted institutions, reckless technological development, geopolitical uncertainties, and failing public trust all threaten our Union. Crises of extraordinary scale must be met with proportional responses. Given this necessity, this manifesto proposes a series of bold initiatives, each of which is like a Manhattan or Apollo project. These Special Projects are designed to address matters of national security and bring the colossal capabilities of the federal government to bear on objectives of existential importance. Each project is named after a city in our Republic, and each is the founding responsibility of one or more of our Ministries.. These Special Projects are unapologetically ambitious because our history proves that we are capable of doing what most believe to be impossible. Together these Projects would mobilize our ingenuity, initiative, and imagination to create a civilization fit for the new millennium, providing us with a clear path from tragedy to triumph.

The Washington D.C. Project
As the founding responsibility of the Ministry of Justice, the nation shall create a National Commission for Truth, Justice, and Accountability. The Commission will investigate all three branches of the federal government and all major organizations in the nation to uncover egregious abuses of public trust and democratic sabotage by institutions of power; with a timeframe stretching back to the beginning of the millennium. The Commission will uphold due process, prosecute individuals whose systemic crimes are proven with intent and impact. The goal is to leave no stone unturned, to leave no institutional crime undiscovered, and to ensure no career criminal escapes justice. The Commission will focus on four categories of systemic crimes:

(1)  Subversion of democracy – attempts to corrupt elections, obstruct peaceful transfers of power, or undermine the Constitutional order
(2)  Institutional cover-ups of abuse – recurring patterns in which powerful organizations hid wrongdoing or silenced victims, most grievously seen in the chronic concealment of sexual crimes against children and minors.
(3)  Ecocide and environmental sabotage – willful destruction of ecosystems, unchecked environmental pollution, and obstruction of climate justice
(4)  Mass misinformation campaigns – deliberate efforts to mislead the public on matters of health, elections, war, or the environment

Just as the Nuremburg Trails confronted the crimes of the state and its agents, so too must we confront the crimes that led to the gradual corruption and deterioration of our civilization. The W.D.C. Project will bring justice to those who have used their immense economic, political, social, and technological power to inflect grievous harm on the American People. Because truth is our foremost objective, the Commission will grant amnesty or greatly reduced sentences to whistleblowers who disclose painful truths to the Commission. Again, truth is more important than anything else because only then can we take steps to ensure these abuses never happen again. This project is a necessary reckoning to restore public trust, heal cultural wounds, and ensure that no person or institution stands above the law. All findings and hearings will be public, archived, and broadcast to ensure transparency and civic education, to try and ensure that our most powerful never engage in such grave crimes again.

The Boston Project
As a founding responsibility of the Ministry of Information, the Boston Project will build a public, transparent, non-profit social media platform, similar to Taiwan’s vTaiwan, Vermont’s Front Porch Forum, or Spain’s Decidim. This digital commons is intended to restore trust, communication, and structured debate to our shared civic life. For too long, the systems we rely on to interact with each other have been dominated by for-profit corporations that harvest data, manipulate attention, and amplify division to the detriment of our nation. The Boston Project will create a public alternative to these predatory social media platforms, one that is open-source, ad-free, accessible to all citizens, and governed under democratic oversight. The platform will guarantee:

(1) Voluntary Participation – can opt out of the platform entirely.
(2) Verified Identification – must register with the platform using government issued identification before contributing.
(3) Data Sovereignty – full control over personal information.
(4) Algorithmic Transparency – the ability to view, audit, and adjust how content is presented.
(5) Democratic Participation – verified public forums for petitions, debates, and constitutional review.

The credibility, transparency, and accountability of this platform will make it a cornerstone of democratic dialogue, both between citizens themselves as well as between citizens and their government. The Boston Project ensures that in the information age, truth and trust are not commodities to be sold, but rights to be safeguarded. Just as Boston once was the cradle of American liberty, this project will be the cradle of a new digital republic.

The Arlington Project
As a shared responsibility of the Ministries of Defense, Governance, and Foreign Affairs, the Arlington Project will assemble our nation’s existing alliances into a single defensive federation that protects the freedom and democracy of all members. This democratic defense pact shall be known as the Freederation, as it is designed to protect the freedom of all member nations. The Ministry of Defense shall design the architecture of interoperability, pooled logistics, and shared command. The Ministry of Governance shall enshrine the legal guardrails: civilian control, transparency, phased ratification, and the legal protections of sovereignty. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will build and sustain the coalition of steadfast allies, ensuring the federation grows through consent, trust, and shared purpose. Together, these Ministries will build a defensive alliance that transforms fragmented treaties into a common shield, ensuring the hard-won peace is not lost but renewed for generations to come.

The San Francisco Project
As the shared responsibility of the Ministries of Science and Information, the S.F. Project calls for a single united movement between our major technology corporations, our government, and ideally, the friendly nations of the world to develop artificial superintelligence under strict public oversight. Humanity stands on the brink of creating artificial superintelligence, a technology which will radically reshape our way of life. At present, this frontier is dominated by for-profit corporations locked in a reckless race for first place, incentivizing speed over safety. Left unchecked, this race could bring ruin to the American People. We are going to create what amounts to a digital god, and so we must take every precaution to ensure that it is a benevolent god. After all, the race to create a digital god runs the risk of delivering a devil. The San Francisco Project ensures that the most powerful technology in history is guided by wisdom, safety, and ethics, and reckless, unchecked greed.

The New Orleans Project
As the founding responsibility of the Ministry of the Environment, this project calls for an international environmental and ecological alliance that protects the habitability of our planet. It shall examine three separate fields of study:

(1) Mitigation –accelerating the end of fossil fuels and driving investment into clean energy, carbon capture, and regenerative agriculture.
(2) Adaptation – safeguarding vulnerable communities through resilient infrastructure, coastal defense, and disaster preparation.
(3) Restoration – repairing ecosystems, preserving biodiversity, and rebalancing Earth’s climate systems.

The New Orleans Project recognizes that climate change is the defining challenge of our century, a threat that transcends borders and ideologies, and that a concerted, cooperative, international effort must be established to meet that existential threat.

The Houston Project.
As the founding responsibility of the Ministry of Energy, the Houston Project will coordinate the pursuit of safe, scalable fusion energy. This effort will be pursued as a public good, with patents and designs placed in the public domain to ensure universal access.

Our current system of energy generation and distribution optimizes for short-term profits at the expense of the planet’s environmental stability. Fusion offers an energy revolution necessary to ensure long-term human survival; it must be treated as a critical national priority. While it may not deliver immediate, short-term results, the long-term benefits are profound: clean, abundant, and virtually limitless power in perpetuity. Fusion is not simply an energy breakthrough, it is a civilizational turning point which promises to immensely strengthen national security.
