Note Thiel’s four-part lecture series on the Antichrist. We’re not in “normal” business times.

His extreme Christian culture war operations are at work in #auspol, and his surveillance state is here.

This article focuses on Peter Thiel background to Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) as Christian Nationalist (& race science) body. Also substantially fossil fuel funded. Andrew Hastie is on that board with Howard, Abbott, Anderson & Stoker. #Auspol

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.
