Remember – according to The Democracy Project the Atlas Network is a left wing conspiracy
According to the daily corporate intelligence list from Victoria University, The Democracy Project, the Atlas network is a left wing conspiracy that has no impact on NZ politics.
TDB has argued that Atlas DOES impact NZ elections and here is the latest update from Atlas Network on their tentacles inside NZ, read this and tell me if there isn’t an intimate knowledge by ATLAS of what is happening in NZ, hilariously this report on NZ was on the same page as a report on Lithuania…
…we are a free market policy laboratory as far as ATLAS is conerned, yet no mainstream media will examine this.
It’s funny that The Democracy Project are concerned with 3rd Party influence but not the dark money from the Atlas Network that is influencing so many of those 3rd Party Donors.
According to The Democracy Project’ this new hard right racist climate denying beneficiary bashing government is actually moderate and The Atlas Networks radical billionaire and dark corporate money has no influence in NZ politics.
The truth is that this Dark Money has influence washed 3rd Party Groups and is providing each other insights as to what culture war buttons to push and use to inspire angry right voter turn out.
There is a fucking difference between a Left Wing Think Tank getting funding from Unions that wants to make workers rights stronger and Right Wing Think tanks funded by far right Billionaires, Tobacco, Oil and Coal using spite politics to ensure their interests and profit margins are expanded at the cost of the climate, the people and the entire fucking planet!
Monbiot makes this point…
And who, in turn, are the junktanks? Many refuse to divulge who funds them, but as information has trickled out we have discovered that the Atlas Network itself and many of its members have taken money from funding networks set up by the Koch brothers and other rightwing billionaires, and from oil, coal and tobacco companiesand other life-defying interests. The junktanks are merely the intermediaries. They go into battle on behalf of their donors, in the class war waged by the rich against the poor. When a government responds to the demands of the network, it responds, in reality, to the money that funds it.
…Oil, coal, tobacco, right wing billionaires, the fucking Koch brothers, dark money influencing our political system so much so that we see the exact same agenda being rolled out here!
The Atlas (shrugged) Network is funded by petrol oligarchs and climate change polluters who find the social media pressure points the way the old Cambridge Analytics did. They can micro target and mine resentment better than anyone else in the game, and they pass those findings along allowing for local think tanks to plot legislative change welded to the culture war pressure points and allow hate algorithms to do the rest.
This is happening right as Gerry Brownlee cloaks these lobbyists in secrecy, right when legislation allowing mining on conservation land is being cooked up alongside fast track powers to push them through alongside an attempt to dismantle the Treaty Principles so that Māori don’t need to be consutled when these Trans National’s start up.
As the push for more privatisation, steeper austerity and race baiting policy collides with extreme weather events, destabilising geopolitics and increasingly desperate first time home buyers bled out from rising mortgage rates and beneficiaries and state tenants kicked off welfare and out of homes, the only winner will be private prisons and the bloody Atlas Network!
The Right Wing Hate Bots in NZ seem to have multiplied recently and are everywhere spreading lies and falsehoods.
…gosh wouldn’t an army of Hate Bots help twist perception for Atlas?
Nothing to see here from The Democracy Project and the rest of the mainstream media.
The Georgians had the right response to NGOs in passing legislation requiring them to declare foreign funding. For that Washington is attempting regime change.
Indeed. In NZ, that would need to be further refined to ban funding from fake New Zealanders like Peter Thiel and Peter Beck.
These NGOs have always been the thin end of the wedge for their nefarious “spontaneous” colour revolutions . Looks like they will have to find a new trick .
Follow the money Trotter, follow the money.
Are you blind to the identities of the interests of those you have become an apologist for?
