"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."

“Rich right-wingers are calling for DWP [Department for Work and Pensions] cuts in order to pay for defence”

“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.”

Kazakhstan Proposes ‘Expert Alliance’ to Reform Global Governance

What do you find when you peel back the curtains behind Jordan Peterson & the ”heterodox” movement:

Fossil fuel hedge funds, Russian oligarch money.

@futurebird this - so much this.

I have to tell people that #thinktanks, #brainrot and advantageous framing is older than the TV, older than the radio.

The parents of #liberals and #conservatives were the #liberalists, who were groomed by the #aristocracy and the #barons.

Words like #freemarket basically translate to markets controlled centrally by a few monopolists in an exploitative #RaceToTheBottom, where one or several entities become #KingOfTheHole.

DeSmog's interactive map: #Trump and #Musk are aided by a well-funded network of #UKpoliticians, #ThinkTanks, #MediaOutlets, and #PoliticalDonors that are pushing a pro-fossil fuel, anti-climate agenda.

Professor Julia Steinberger wrote a geopolitical roundup: "Exposing the secret history of the making of the climate crisis should change everything about how we act to stop it."

Mit viel Geld und Hilfe der #Medien, auch des #ÖRR, wird ALLES bekämpft, was weiteren Gewinn behindern könnte.

"In Germany, farmers used the exact same tactic, blocking roads with their tractors to protest a renewable energy policy...Not a single farmer was punched in the face or dragged off the road by their hair"

Meet the Shadowy Network Vilifying Climate Protestors

https://www.desmog.com/2023/09/12/atlas-network-vilifying-climate-protestors/

Earlier this year, news footage began making the rounds on social media of young activists from the German climate organization Letzte Generation (Last Generation) being assaulted by their fellow citizens as they obstructed streets in an effort to draw attention to the German government’s inaction on climate. A young woman, with her hand glued to a road was ripped off the road by her hair; a young man was run over by a truck driver; a passerby punched the protestors and was cheered on. A few months later, German police raided the homes of Last Generation activists and seized their bank accounts.

It all seemed like a gross overreaction to a pretty tame form of protest…
