"The previously undisclosed board of an ascendant DC think tank pushing Democrats to the center includes a Democratic Party megadonor with a stake in artificial intelligence chip designer Nvidia, which could benefit from the organization’s efforts to defend data center build-outs and limit AI regulation.
The Lever exclusively reports that philanthropist Simone Coxe — whose multibillion-dollar fortune largely comes from her venture capitalist husband’s investments in Nvidia — sits on the board of the Searchlight Institute, a new center-left DC think tank. Nvidia is heavily invested in data center expansion.
Coxe, also the cofounder of and director at California news organization CalMatters and a prolific Democratic donor, is listed as a director of the Searchlight Institute in the organization’s DC incorporation documents. The think tank has not disclosed its association with Coxe or her husband, Tench Coxe.
Searchlight’s board of directors has not been previously reported. It includes other rich and powerful investors with a stake in the AI build-out, such as billionaire hedge fund manager Stephen Mandel. Mandel’s investment firm Lone Pine Capital is heavily invested in the Taiwanese Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, the largest manufacturer of chips designed by Nvidia."

This well written essay on the #altright movement in #Alberta #Canada could have been written in any #European language, as it's very comparable to what's happening in #Europe right now.
Each one of these "movements" come from the bowels of #thinktanks and #mediacompanies who would see #western society burn to the ground so they can profit off the ashes.
The threat to sovereignty wears a political hat.

“Rich right-wingers are calling for DWP [Department for Work and Pensions] cuts in order to pay for defence”
by Hannah Sharland in The Canary
@thecanaryuk
@uk_politics
@UKLabour
@ZackPolanski“Right-wing warhawks have been doubling down on calls to slash Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) welfare to fund imperialistic warmongering against Iran.
Naturally, it’s the usual suspects spearheading the charge, namely opaquely-funded think tanks, the billionaire press, and of course, their co-conspirators in parliament.
And once again, these rich colonial capitalist assholes all want to make poor and disabled people cannon fodder for their illegal invasions.”

Über einen alten (alles relativ) #Podcast bin ich auf ein noch älteres Buch über #ThinkTanks aufmerksam geworden. Gellner (1995) "Ideenagenturen". Gut gebaute Begriffe (zB: Ideenagentur + Adressaten = Tendenzkoalitionen). Wissenswertes auch etwa über die Anfangänge der #HeritageFoundation

- The fact that the US state department may soon be funding policy-aligned European #thinktanks and charities should be ringing alarm bells across the continent.
When I hear Trump, Rubio and their European acolytes, I wonder why so few of the #EU’s political elite dare to say out loud that we have heard this stigmatising language of exclusion before – and we know where it can lead.
