    Yes, Roger Gascoigne, I was trying to remember who it was. 🤣

    As for the integrity of the opportunist party - it has #AtlasNetwork influence and neoliberal control written into its constitution.

  2. @leftylabourtech Hmm, just another "Tax Freedom Day" Scam?

    "In an attempt to convince working people that Canadian taxes are unduly burdensome, right-wing think tanks and conservative politicians have been exaggerating the level of taxes paid by Canadian families for years.

    Presumably, they see this as their best strategy for convincing the general public that they should go along with more tax cuts for the wealthy and more cuts in government spending programs.

    As part of this propaganda campaign, each year the Fraser Institute issues a press release announcing the imminent arrival of tax freedom day."

  3. Keeping kids misinformed is part of the Luxon government's continuing assault on science. Anyone would think that the Atlas Network were darkly involved with rewriting our school curriculum.

    Will Labour roll back this MAGA contamination of our education system? Hello... Labour? Is anybody there?

  4. And here we are:

    Stephen Franks of Franks-Oglivie lawyers and Chair of The Free Speech Union offered to assist Martyn "Bomber" Bradbury in his defense of a suit lodged by Ani O'Brien, a board member of The Free Speech Union.

    Clowns.

  5. @bhoutlook Jivani's pro-American advocacy goes beyond his friendship with Vance.

    He is past president of Canada Strong and Free, an American supported right-wing advocacy agency (think tank) that works hard to conceal that is in fact an American lead organization, while trying to dismiss any Canadian policy that could impact American right wing success.

  6. It seems like only last month when Seymour was imploring Gisborne council to 'Think of the multinationals' and go easy on forestry companies.

    Oh, it was last month.

    Seymour's argument is that multinationals won't "invest" in NZ if we force them to clear up their own mess. That comes out of the same box as 'The billionaires will leave if we try to tax them'.

    I feel sorry for Gisborne council who were showing real leadership which would have fixed the slash problem. However the Atlas Network will be well pleased with Bishop's foolish decision.

    I would prefer if the coalition of corruption simply did nothing and let the final 6 weeks slide by but unfortunately there’s still a lot of incredibly damaging and corrupt legislation to get through the house under urgency to satisfy this govt’s funders #AtlasNetwork USArms manufacturers, oil companies etc etc before parliament closes for the election period.

  8. Simeon Brown has done it again and appointed another Free Speech Union boofhead to the Medical Council. This time it's Roderick Mulgan, who intends to remain a board member of the FSU.

    With four new appointments from Brown this week, National's takeover of the Medical Council must be almost complete.

    Until recently, the Atlas Network has primarily been connected to ACT. We're learning how its NZ affiliates have become entwined with the National Party.

    As an aside, Christopher Luxon's three financial advisors all have links to the Atlas Network.

    The Free Speech Union are not affiliate members of the #AtlasNetwork for the free travel advice.

  10. @BobLefridge @paulh

    It is worth noting the #NZPol coalition of corruption’s strong connections to the US #AtlasNetwork #HeritageFoundation and its #Project2025 which oppose renewable energy, alternative modes of transportation and of course any alternative sexual orientation.

    Winston Peters and #NZFirst didn’t suddenly become obsessed with people’s genitalia and sexual orientation without being instructed by their political masters. Also never let NZF’s strong alliance with #ReformUK ever be forgotten.

  11. Just watched this very informative overview of the #AtlasNetwork, its history and dark money techniques of funding political parties and policies.

    Most countries will have Atlas associated lobby groups or political parties that are clearly working against the interests of their country serving the interests of billionaire funders.

    David Seymour of the #NZPol #Act Party gets a shout out in this video. The NZ Taxpayers Union, New Zealand Initiative are both Atlas Network affiliates which should need to be disclosed when being given #NZMedia attention to promote their funders interests.

    I recommend every country exposé’s their local Atlas Network member groups.

  12. @keyofG "In an open letter signed by officials with six pro-private health care think tanks—which also appeared as a digital ad in The Hill Times—the groups wrote, “we applaud your government for recognizing the importance of provincial flexibility and for taking a more open approach to provincial health care innovation and reform.”

    All of the signatories are closely connected to the Atlas Network, a well-documented, American dark money coalition made up of billionaire ideologues pursuing a libertarian agenda while evading transparency..

    SecondStreet.org, a pro-free market and “health care choice” think tank based in Regina, was an Atlas Network “Smart Bet” in 2022 and appears to have facilitated the letter. "

  13. Hilarious to see a #NZPol Act candidate having to resign for failing to declare a previous association with a group connected to the Chinese Communist Party.

    If every Act party member was forced to resign for having undeclared connections to the #AtlasNetwork there would be nobody left in the Act Party.

    ACT candidate resigns after Chinese political group link revealed rnz.co.nz/news/ldr/643527/act-

  14. Will AtlasNetwork work to interupt and interfere with offshore wind energy in Canada as it did in Australia?

    If so, which Canadian politicians will work to reinforce AtlasN's minsinfo?

    The goddamn #AtlasNetwork again! This cabal has its fingers in everything that’s trying to undo our country—they should be listed as a threat to our national security!

  16. @Niall @SimonCHulse

    David Seymour needs to consult his #AtlasNetwork and get posted to a location as far away from #Aotearoa #NewZealand as is possible.

  17. In response to #RNZ quickly ensuring the #AtlasNetwork Act Party's criticism of #NZGreens tax policy released today was rushed out I am pleased they have now got around to releasing the Greens actually announcing their #NZPol tax policy that Seymour was criticising.

  18. Why is a thinktank trying to unify people around fossil fuels, instead of renewables? We need an end to billionaires + fossil fuels, not to invest in them + accept their money.

  19. The leader of the #AtlasNetwork party, #Act and deputy PM of the #NZPol coalition of corruption believes it to be unhelpful to the reputation of the House to identify the corrupt members of the prime minister's staff. 🤣

  20. "It's the same in New Zealand as Australia. They capture media discourse and go after indigenous populations and rights ... because they get in the way of extraction ..."

    - Paul Barlow
    (See the excellent linked interview highlighting how various Coalition figures and bodies such as New Zealand Initiative are puppets in the escalating resource extraction attack on ecology and quality of life for all in NZ).

    (I wouldn't be surprised if this post gets a snarky reply in no time in an oily attempt to curtail awareness).

  21. But wait. Luke Malpass is the new associate editor. The Atlas Network will be celebrating tonight.

  22. Crikey, Stuff has totally given up on any pretence of #NZMedia neutrality as the election draws closer.

    Former #NZPol National and Act Party’s PR director Mathew Hooton has just been appointed as editor of Wellington newspaper The Post, a role he has no experience in, and to ensure no one disrupts this right wing take over #AtlasNetwork representative Luke Malpass has been named as associate editor.

  23. A Racist Group Is Trying to Gain Legitimacy in Canadian Politics

    (and 'Canada' Strong and Free is just fine with that)

    "The Canada Strong and Free Network conference Tyrie attended featured several high-profile politicians this year, in addition to Poilievre .. getting into that powerful room isn’t cheap — and you can’t do it anonymously ..

    The sign-up process, which The Tyee verified, requires the attendee to provide plenty of identifying information, including their full name, address, postal code and contact information.

    That means the organizers, who are responsible for the safety and cohesion of a room of some of the country’s most prominent conservatives, would have the names of all attendees"
