We turn to academia & the fourth estate for scientifically rigorous, evidentially based, objective & unbiased knowledge. The reason very few right wing attitudes are found in universities or quality journalism, is because most RW ideas aren't scientifically rigorous or evidentially based.

Thatcher was moulded by a proto Atlas thinktank and founded another. Trump has them all around.
Prof Quinn Slobodian’s research explains the overlap between neoliberalism and nativist populist Trumpy 🤬😬 in the Mont Pelerin Society debates/movement. MPS is functionally steering committee of Atlas.

Wild. Stephen Mayne on ABC interview with Julian Morrow. Being part of the Kennett government experiment in Victoria was like “a cross between Thatcher and Trump in policy and style.” Yes, because his policies were designed by an Aussie Mont Pelerin Society economist. #AtlasNetwork #auspol #springst

As international journalists re-enter Gaza they are discovering a city turned to rubble, even more than Berlin was at the end of WW2, filled with corpses of women and children scattered everywhere.

Revealing that is apparently a 'digital holocaust'.

Priti Patel smears the hundreds of thousands who marched in London yesterday in support of the Palestinians & against our govts complicity in Israels genocide.

Patel also claims people are burning copies of the Torah on the pro Palestinian protests. Which is a lie of course

The Chris Hedges Report

Trump’s Sham Peace Plan -
There will be no peace in Gaza. Only the temporary absence of war.
It is a sadistic game. A merry-go-round of death. This ceasefire, like those of the past, is a commercial break!
Once Israeli hostages are released, the genocide will continue.

Chris Hedges sets out truths about the 'peace plan' that so many western journalists avoid.

Truths that National Press Club members,
especially the ones who have accepted Israeli junkets and drunk the Zionist Kool-Aid,
preferred not to be confronted with? #GazaGenocide #NPC #auspol

All countries are vulnerable.
World is full of RW dictators & autocrats.
Western democracies are only more vulnerable now, as capitalism is starting to fail & the deteriorating global environment, conflict & climate warming is pushing people to be more fearful!
Fearful people are a fascists dream!

Albanese’s an insular, deeply institutionalised apparatchik who has spent his whole adult life in service to ‘The Party’.
ALP is his principal loyalty & focus - instead of people of Australia.
He is emblematic & stereotypical of the ‘political elite’ & lacks a scintilla of real world life experience

The Albanese govt’s first term was the second most secretive on record.

Rather than changing their ways, they’re doubling down and tightening our FOI system to make it even harder to get information. Not a single expert or member of parliament outside of the Labor party has backed their new bill.
