The government responding to the science, as Albanese and Bowen like to say...
Kath Rowley,who below guides staff on how to downplay gas emissions, has just been appointed CEO of the Climate Change Authority, the body providing 'independent' advice to govt

Safe appointment for a govt wanting fossil fuel expansion to remain at home in our climate institutions.

The MAGA crowd must be going nuts trying to reconcile their deep loathing of Epstein & their love of Bannon with the revelation that both were working hand-in-glove to build MAGA, while Bannon was also trying to protect Epstein from the fallout of revelations about his sex trafficking crimes. Wild!

This is spot on. Unless we challenge the architecture of influence breaking our shared facts, we’re all screwed. Climate, work, home, affordability. Everything is on the line.
Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.
This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis.

Why do we tolerate this? I guess there just isn’t the leadership around - anywhere - to take them on.
Important to remember that Murdoch has been part of the eugenics end of neoliberalism for decades. He’s entrenched with the Islamophobia industry. Also had Peter 👿 Brimelow and Tucker “Great Replacement” Carlson reporting directly. #Auspol

John Menadue:

“Charles was a very active participant in the dismissal of Gough Whitlam 50 years ago. Don’t make any mistake about that. Charles was up to his royal ears in it. He was not politically neutral. He sided with privilege and aristocracy.”

Anthony Albanese recently told us with bated breath from Balmoral Castle that Charles is someone who is very interested in Australia”. “Interested “would be an understatement.

Very helpful pointer from today’s NYT. Where’s the one that says “Cuomo faces questions over links to backer who has 34 felony counts to his name, one official conviction and two impeachments, along with multiple instances of bankruptcy, sexual assault, and complicity in genocide?

“There is a sense that American universities as institutions have deviated from the fundamental values of the nation.

Would those be the values founded by carpet-baggers, slavers & religious zealots that ultimately embedded corporations & billionaires as the ultimate legal owners of US democracy?
Move over, gender studies: the conservative tide coming for US universities
Deeming universities too leftwing, outside donors and state governments are sponsoring curricula that center the classics, Christianity and the ‘great books’ of western civilization

The fight against a strong public school system is endemic to the right. They want to make our children “Western Civ” clones. Others want the “Christian” aspect to dominate. All of it is about monoculture. Prevent critical thinking.

A global (supranational-national) hereditary aristocracy in the making wants you to have nothing they don’t control, not your body, not your labour but worst, not your brain.
The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

the point of the ballroom obvs has nothing to do with aesthetics. it's to create an architectural structure to honor the patronage networks that currently dominate US politics. previous WH venues hosted maybe a couple of hundred people; this hosts nearly 1,000 rich donors.

Can there ever be accountability for the mounting moral failures of the Albanese Labor government? Or are we just fully on board with the cynicism, corruption and hypocrisy now characterising the world, no longer constrained by social and political forces of the past?

In case you have doubts regarding Israel’s PR concerns being the real motive behind the sale of US TikTok to the largest private donor to the IDF, rather than the “China security threat” narrative we’re being fed by MSM, then check out Netanyahu’s views on the matter.
