Exactly. They are funded by the big weapons manufacturers. They have John Anderson on the board. Overlapping weapons manufacturers have long funded the US Center for Security Policy. Rampant Islamophobic propaganda. 🤔

Read Alt Reich by Ahmed. Investigative journo from the UK. Excellent and fascinating history of this movement. It situates so many apparently “conservative” “intellectuals” in this trajectory with the judgment it should incur.

He was an active member of Steve Sailer's race science email listserv, added Sailer to a Science Writing anthology, and has promoted debunked race science about Jewish IQ. Sounds neither smart nor decent to me.

This great report on Aporia and its role in a far-right white supremacist network was published just half a year ago. Guess Pinker gets hit news from different sources.

When the average Joe worked outside, they wanted to be fair. Now the average Joe works inside, so tanning is the marker of affluence & leisure.
They are convinced the difference is cellular. I dunno…maybe it’s the only way to justify the obscenity of it all to oneself. “I am genetically superior.”

Oh look. RFK cancelled the big contract for research into a fast-trackable MRNA bird flu vaccine. That disease in already in mammals in US & Antarctica.

So the question is, are some of the donors standing around at cocktail parties opining that allowing the vast majority of humanity to perish will cool the planet fastest?

This is the pre-history and history of some of the Atlas partners’ most emblematic work. www.bloomsbury.com/au/merchants...

mobilisation of R&D as there was under Trump 1.0 for Covid. That is almost certainly broken.
Atlas Network partners were integrated into that strategy. Their vendetta against inconvenient science pointing out they were killing people triggered again over declining fossil fuel profits etc.

RFK is taking healthcare largely from the poor at a cracking pace. The rich will still afford. Tax cuts. He is stopping monitoring of health outcomes so nobody counts the cost. Also of emerging pandemics like ? bird flu. Aus/NZ have bird flu coming at us from US & Antarctica. There can be no global

(Heritage was out of the Network in 2020 according to expert word of mouth. No idea what that means in fact. Leaning in more to Christian Nationalist Council for National Policy origins perhaps? See Bad Faith doco for what that looks like.)

It certainly feels that way. Especially the Tanton & Islamophobia networks but bad signs from some #AtlasNetwork partners too.

Just finished reading. This is very, very good. Also terrifying. But per all Lucy's work, absolutely compelling.

Thank-you so much. Really, really appreciated!

So we need to know: do ASPI and the weapons industry giants know that Anderson is doubling down with people like Douglas Murray? Do they know & not care? Or is it worse. #Auspol

Also worth noting #Auspol that former Dep PM John Anderson - co-founder of ARC, chair of pro-fossil fuel Nats-linked “thinktank”, YT influencer, is also on the board of ASPI, our defence “thinktank.” Funded by weapons sector like CSP in the article ^ CSP is known part of Islamophobia industry.

Worth noting how entrenched techfascist Peter Thiel is in this. It looks like his people did a lot of the groundwork for the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC). open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

So #NZpol Ahmed’s book has some good context for your Free Speech Union.
#Auspol Note this outfit. 😬

Such a powerful piece, Michelle.
We’ve been tracking the human impacts of DOGE — how it affects childcare, veterans access to healthcare, food banks, learning-disabled students, working families, etc. here:

I make some key emergency measure recommendations in that piece. If Albo & co are going to screw us over, we need to know there are food reserves for when food is too expensive. We need emergency accommodation for huge/years of displacement. We need countrywide cool rooms for all to access. #auspol
