“Who is Really Bankrolling Rupert Lowe’s Restore Britain?”
by Josiah Mortimer and Max Colbert in The Byline Times on Substack
@uk_politics
@UKLabour
@[email protected]
@[email protected]“EXCLUSIVE: Byline Times investigates the figures behind the Elon Musk-backed far-right rival to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK”
[..]
“Little is known about Restore Britain’s funding. The far-right party, seen as a disrupter on Reform UK’s right flank, was only formally registered as a party in February, meaning further donations records will begin to appear in the coming months, should they cross the threshold for declaration.”

Dutch YouTube creators behind Alberta separatist videos getting millions of views
Albertans end up bombarded with targeted messaging that amounts to Propaganda or Slopaganda, funded by dark money.
This week, a report by the Media Ecosystem Observatory (MEO), a joint project between the University of Toronto and McGill University in Montreal looking into Canadian media, identified 20 YouTube channels as part of a co-ordinated network focused on separatism in western Canadian provinces, and other political issues.
The report noted they use near-identical scripts and dubbed them “slopaganda.”
Altogether, the accounts have garnered roughly 40 million views.
The report says many of the videos contain “frequent and obvious lies, drawing on real news stories to reach exaggerated conclusions designed to exploit political divisions.” The report did not identify the individuals behind the apparent network, citing a lack of “identifying information to real humans or organizations nor ties to the secession movement in Alberta.”
“I think it’s disturbing that these voices are able to insert themselves in the conversation, and their interest is not to further the democratic discourse or … have a healthy, authentic conversation,” said Chris Ross, a senior analyst at the Media Ecosystem Observatory.
“They’re putting themselves in the middle of that, misleading Albertans, Canadians, and they’re just doing it to make money.”

'Dark Money' attack on Lt. Gov. Burt Jones accuses him of profiting off taxpayers
---
"Anonymous, baseless attack ads are what cowards hide behind when they can't win on ideas," Jones said through a spokesperson.
---They probably missed the irony of the statement.

#COVID #TrumpRegime #KochNetwork #DarkMoney
"The academy was inspired by the pandemic. 'As we reflect on the worst public health fiasco in history, our pandemic response has unveiled serious issues with how science is administered,' noted the college president in a press release.
But the venture isn't exactly an effort to apply science to the COVID-19 crisis. The so-called 'fiasco' was government pandemic measures like mask and vaccine mandates, contact tracing, and lockdowns.
Hillsdale is a conservative Christian institution with ties to the Trump administration. And the scholars behind the academy — Scott Atlas, Jay Bhattacharya, and Martin Kulldorff — are connected to right-wing dark money attacking public health measures.
The trio also has ties to the Great Barrington Declaration, a widely-rebuked yet influential missive that encouraged governments to adopt a 'herd immunity' policy letting COVID-19 spread largely unchecked, even as the virus has killed more than 800,000 Americans.
The academy is the newest initiative designed to provide intellectual cover to a nearly two-year campaign by right-wing and big business interests to force a return to normalcy to boost corporate profits amid a pandemic that is now surging once again thanks to Omicron."

A new report by @taylorlorenz for WIRED reveals how a web of dark money, with scope that's drawn comparison to the Koch network, has been used to coerce liberal influencers into parroting Blue MAGA talking points, with lucrative contracts tied to strict censorship clauses.
The program is unironically called "Chorus," and the first rule of the liberal "Chorus" is that you don't talk about the Chorus...

I would argue programmed. It's not like any of this just appeared out of the woodwork. Killing a democracy takes time, takes effort, takes a bit of genius and a bit of research. This has been going on for some time...none of this is an accident.

#DeSantis is battling to keep private the names of the other advisers who worked w/ #LeonardLeo in a court case that could have sweeping ramifications for access to government records in #Florida. But people familiar w/the process… confirmed several participants…. The #elite group of #conservatives included a fmr #USsenator from FL & #ChrisKise, now a top member of #Trump’s #defense team in his #ClassifiedDocuments case.

Des (Miniseries Review) | A Chilling Story and Performance
I was browsing for something to watch, in fact I was planning to check out Monsterland's pilot episode to see if it is a series I could watch. But then I saw David Tennant (Good Omens, Jessica Jones) on the poster for this and forgot my plans. This three part miniseries is directed by Lewis Arnold (Dark Money, Humans) and alongside Tennant, Daniel Mays (White Lines, Temple, Good Omens), Jason Watkins (The Crown, Midsomer Murders), Ron Cook (The Witcher, Les Misérables), and Barry Ward […]
