From 6 minutes in this explained so much #Atlas #JunkTank #ThinkTank

From 'The Sunday Shot';
'Last weekend’s Sunday Shot should scare the living daylights out of you.
Turns out when Hillary Clinton said there was a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy at work, she was 100% right. Lucy Hamilton took us through the Atlas Network, an extraordinary clandestine web of organisations established and lavishly funded by the likes of the Koch Brothers for the sole purpose of deceiving citizens and enabling corporate interests to endlessly increase profits at everyone else’s expense. Including the planet’s.

Along the way, Atlas coopts extremist ideological warriors to be their foot soldiers, unconcerned about enabling fanatical White supremacist, Christo-fascist agendas if it allows them to make a few more dollars.

It's terrifying stuff. And its tentacles reach deep into the Australian political and corporate right-wing elite, with Advance merely the tip of the iceberg.

Trans Justice Project’s Jackie Turner reminds us there are human consequences to the culture wars these people launch to distract citizens from their grift. Anthony Klan joins the dots on the handful of wealthy Australians masquerading as democracy’s grassroots who defeated the Voice and are fighting to derail our transition to renewable energy.

And now they’re buying TV licenses.'

Trotz des Aufruhrs an den Börsen hält US-Präsident #Trump an seiner #Zollpolitik fest. Sein Berater #Musk schlägt nun ganz andere Töne an - und fordert eine "Null-Zoll-Situation" zwischen #Europa und den #USA.

Achtung Falle!!!

Erinnert sich noch jemand, was das größte Problem am #Freihandelsabkommen #TTIP war?
Richtig: die #Aushebelung von #EU- und #National - #Gesetzen durch #Schiedsgerichte!

Am Ende steht ein #Freihandel, der rein dem #rücksichtslosen #Gewinnstreben von #Firmen und #Konzernen unterworfen ist!

So musste die #BRD 2021 an die #Energiekonzerne durch den #Atomausstieg vom #Schiedsgericht der Weltbank (ICSID) verordnet 2,43 #Milliarden #Entschädigung bezahlen. Und das war nur ein Vorgeschmack vom dem, was ursprünglich in #TTIP verordnet werden sollte.

Ein #schwaches #Europa ohne #Regulierungen und #Verordnungen ist genau was die #libertären #US #Nationalisten wollen.

Am 11. März traf sich der #konservative #Thinktank #HeritageFoundation in #Washington DC, um Taktiken zur #Zerstörung der #EU zu debattieren.

Sie wollen u.a. #Lobbyarbeit bei #konservativen #Politikern machen. Ich würde mal sagen, Schritt 1!

Das ist die #Hintertür, um die #EU zu unterlaufen!

tagesschau.de · US-Zölle: Musk spricht sich für Freihandelszone mit Europa ausTrotz des Aufruhrs an den Börsen hält US-Präsident Trump an seiner Zollpolitik fest. Sein Berater Musk schlägt nun ganz andere Töne an - und fordert eine "Null-Zoll-Situation" zwischen Europa und den USA.

Das #afd_verbot_jetzt ist einer von vielen Ansätzen, um unsere #Demokratie zu schützen und die braune #Nazi-Paste irgendwie in die Tube zurück zu kriegen.
Aber wir brauchen mehr, mehr, mehr.

Aus diesem Grund hat #Campact einen #ThinkTank ins Leben gerufen, der Expert:innen in Sachen #Faschismus zusammen bringt, forscht und weitere Möglichkeiten sucht.
