“In Australia, it’s perfectly legal to lie in a political ad. And thanks to taxpayer funding of election campaigns, you could be the one paying for the ad that lies to you," writes Bill Browne from The Australia Institute.

Know that the posse around Trump, Musk, Thiel etc are all eugenicists. Your deaths improve the gene pool. In the 80s, Murdoch platformed think tanks-fostered “race” “science” “experts” to prove welfare was a harm because it encouraged the unfit to breed. This is in the same lineage about rural US.

THE REPUBLICAN NOISE MACHINE: RIGHT-WING MEDIA A... Powell then laid out the strategy that the Right would follow in the coming decades, whereby conservative business interests would create and underwrite a "movement" to front its agenda in the media. Under Powell's plan, heavily subsidized "scholars, writers, and thinkers" speaking "for the movement" would press for "balance" and "equal time" to penetrate the media, thereby shaping news coverage, reframing issues, influencing the views of political elites, and changing mass public opinion. These would be the manufactured "intellectuals" referenced by Efron, marketed in the media to "expand the spectrum." They would be housed in new "national organizations" in an effort "undertaken long term" with "generous financial support." Appended to Powell's original copy of the memo was a column by conservative writer John Chamberlain from the Richmond Times-Dispatch summarizing the findings of Edith Efron from The News Twisters. While it was well circulated in the business community, the Powell document remained a secret until columnist Jack Anderson wrote about its recommendations for "confrontational politics" in the context of Powell's fitness for the Supreme Court, to which he was nominated shortly after writing the memo and where justices were supposed to be strictly impartial. 2 In the White House, Powell's patron Richard Nixon already had broached the subject of building a privately funded parallel political establishment that could further the conservative ideological cause, and attack his political enemies, while remaining nominally independent of the GOP. According to the diaries of his White House aide H. R. Haldeman, on September 12, 1970, Nixon was "pushing again on [his] project of building OUR establishment in [the] press, business, education, etc." Buchanan had sent Nixon a memo urging him to establish "a conservative counterpoint to Brookings." A second major document establishing plans for the Right's media… The ideology of Barry Goldwater and Phyllis Schlafly and William Buckley would now be dry-cleaned for mass media consumption, and along with it came a neolexicon—a language invented by conservative practitioners trained in the use of manipulative, often Orwellian, rhetoric. Agenda items like gutting Social Security, rolling back civil rights protections, and slashing taxes inequitably would be smoothed out with deceptive Madison Avenue-type branding slogans of the kind used to sell commercial products: "privatization," "the new federalism," the "flat tax," and so on. Americans would be told that poverty is a "behavioral" condition, that any advance gained by a member of a minority group amounted to "reverse discrimination," and that providing government subsidies for private and parochial schools while draining resources from public education was to be thought of as "school choice." Just as objective journalism was an obstacle for the Right, so was objective scholarship. Simon laid out a "blue-print for a counter-intelligentsia"—hired guns who could legitimize and popularize right-wing opinion through the media and do battle in the media on behalf of conservative business interests, the wealthy, and the cultural Right with spokespeople for the consumer, environmental, civil rights, and feminist movements. Under Simon's plan, academic studies that were damaging to right-wing ideological goals and to the imperatives of business were to be countered at every turn by scholarship for sale. Simon advocated "nothing less than a massive and unprecedented mobilization of moral, intellectual and financial resources" with funds "rushing by multimillions" from corporate-backed foundations to a network of pro-business scholars, writers, pundits, and publicists, as well as to conservative book projects, publications, and policy research. The funds would go exclusively to right-wing ideologues, with no capitulation to "soft-minded pleas for the support of 'dissent, " Simon advised, thus ensuring that conservatism would have the unwavering message discipline, ideological uniformity, and seeming unity that seemed to go missing in liberalism. The work would carry an air of academic authority and independence, but it would be subject to no peer review or conflict-of-interest safeguards, and it would be carried out covertly in support of "the only party with a philosophical heritage which might permit it to be the Liberty Party in the United States, the Republican Party." tank. - Through the Adolph Coors Foundation, the Coors family underwrote a variety of right-wing causes and organizations. Over the years, statements emanated from the family suggesting a dark agenda may have motivated its activism. For instance, William Coors, one of the foundation's principals, told a group of African American businesspeople in a 1984 speech, "One of the best things they [slave traders, did for you is to drag your ancestors over here in chains." 5 If the genteel Powell represented traditional U.S. Chamber of Commerce-centered business-oriented conservatism, his memo, with its call for radical action, proved an inspiration to, and a unifying force for, the more populist, culturally reactionary southern and western outposts of conservatism. After reading the memo, Coors dispatched an aide to Washington, where he met Paul Weyrich, press secretary to recently defeated GOP Senator Gordon Allott of Colorado. ° Weyrich's coworker in Allott's office was a young staffer named George F. Will. Weyrich and Will, along with Trent Lott, the future Republican Senate leader then serving as a legislative aide in another congressional office, had formed a "Conservative Lunch Club." Weyrich had been raised in Wisconsin, the son of German immigrants who admired Robert Taft for his opposition to the U.S. involvement in World War II. He had only a high school education and considered himself a "political mechanic," interested in organizing to attain power rather than in policy or ideas. - Weyrich was an organizational genius and also a forbidding demagogue of the pseudoconservative variety, a skill honed in a brief but not inconsequential stint as a broadcast journalist. He had ties to the most extremist groups of the American right wing, dating back to his involvement with George Wallace's American Independent Party.

The Guardian. Tory Shepherd. Australian politics From cute dogs to Turning Point: the journey of an influencer aiming to breathe rightwing Christian values into Australian Lucy Hamilton, a doctoral researcher at the University of Technology Sydney who studies the importation of rightwing tactics from the US, is worried about what she says is a conservative voting bloc that has drawn in more and more groups under its umbrella. And she says while Australia has some protection from the spread of US-style rightwing tactics, there is also reason to be wary. "On one level we've got a good electoral system which protects us from the fringe things that America has to deal with," she says. "On the other hand we have very fragile party branches and structures, which are susceptible to groups with motives they're not confessing to. "[And] our information is pretty broken. We have a failure of civic responsibility where people are overwhelmed and not paying attention so they don't know the conservative they're voting for is a Pentecostal Christian who wants to take away abortion completely." Sengul says the right has not been able to capitalise on the youth vote in Australia as it has overseas, and that Turning Point Australia will struggle to rebrand conservative Christian values for youth as the religious dynamic is not as strong in Australia.

Civil litigator here with years of experience of business people’s emails to each other in disclosed evidence for disputes.

As a general rule: the senior the business person, the less effort they put into emails, and the more effort expected from those reading them.

Effectively a mark of rank.

It would be fascinating to know whether the merited and predictable protests (against the visit of someone accused of helping incite a genocide to Australia) were part of the plan in inviting Herzog 🇮🇱 to visit. Useful propaganda to be made out of the “antisemitic left” 🙄 Murdoch idiot ball. #Auspol
