  1. 🎬 Hommage. Peter #Watkins ou le sabotage de la Monoforme

    Une œuvre cinématographique et militante majeure marquée, de la guerre du #Vietnam à la #Commune de Paris, par le refus de la séparation stricte entre « réalisateur » et « sujet filmé ».

  2. From The War Game de Peter Watkins, un faux docu sur le bombardement du UK par des missiles thermonucléaires (La Bombe en VF)
    En ce moment je pense bien évidemment beaucoup aux bombardements passés et présents. Allez voir ce film, ça dure 45 min et c'est hyper pertinent.

  3. On December 5, right-wing culture warriors instructed lawmakers attending the
    American Legislative Exchange Council’s ( #ALEC )
    "States and Nation Policy Summit"
    in Washington, D.C.,
    on the steps their states can take to upend policies and practices
    designed to help address the unfolding climate emergency and diversify workforces.

    CRC Advisors Senior Vice President 💥#Mike #Thompson 💥led the workshop
    “Battles Won, War Continues:
    The Left, ESG and State Policy,”
    according to materials obtained by the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD).

    In 2020, #Greg #Mueller and #Leonard #Leo, who played an integral role in Trump’s effort to pack the federal judiciary with right-wing judges,
    founded CRC Advisors
    — the group Thompson represents
    — to “funnel big money and expertise across the conservative movement.”

    Although not as well known as Leo,
    Thompson, a member of ALEC’s private sector advisory board,
    is an important Christian Right operative
    who plays multiple leadership roles in campaigns and communications.

    Thompson’s public relations skills were on full display in his remarks
    demonizing the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ),
    “a global coalition of leading financial institutions committed to accelerating the decarbonization of the economy”
    in order to preserve the planet from further destruction.

    Thompson argued that large asset managers and banks that participate in GFANZ
    — including BlackRock, State Street, Wells Fargo, City Bank, Morgan Stanley, Chase, and Bank of America
    — are breaking antitrust law by utilizing sustainable investment strategies.

    Thompson provided an example of a lawsuit against BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard
    filed last month by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) and 10 other Republican attorneys general
    — all active members of the fossil-fuel backed "Republican Attorneys General Association" ( #RAGA )
    — alleging that the three companies violated antitrust law in colluding to raise electricity prices through their investments.

    “The states have filed an antitrust lawsuit and they detail in it all of the evidence where those three companies were colluding to keep coal in the ground and from coming to market,
    thus, driving up the price and violating antitrust law,”
    Thompson told workshop participants.

    The PR professional neglected to mention that CRC Advisors is a paid consultant of RAGA
    or that his boss Leo’s "Concord Fund" has funneled $3.5 million to the pay-to-play group this year
    and $20.3 million since the organization was founded in 2014, according to CMD’s analysis of its tax filings.

    #Sal #Nuzzo, the first workshop presenter, is executive director of
    "Consumers Defense",
    the sister organization of Consumers’ Research,
    which is a vice-chairman sponsor of ALEC’s summit and a driver of the right-wing’s manufactured crisis around “woke” capitalism.

    Nuzzo argued that reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050 through renewable energy production would force Americans to cede
    “two-thirds of [the] U.S. electricity generation supply chain to the Communist Party of China.”

    He didn’t cite a source for this claim, nor does the group’s website provide any research substantiating it.

    Nuzzo also attempted to raise the alarm with lawmakers from states that depend on agriculture
    by claiming that the Left has “shifted their attacks and tactics into the agriculture space”
    in response to anti-ESG legislation passed over the last three legislative cycles
    and has moved to prevent farmers from getting access to loans.

    “The [Left’s] coordinated attacks on agriculture are occurring at all levels.
    They’re at the producer level.
    They’re at the distributor level.
    They’re at the consumption and sales level,”
    Nuzzo claimed.

    “If farming interests cannot get financing, [farmers] cannot operate.”

    #Paul #Watkins, founder of "Fusion Law" and both a senior legal fellow at "Consumers’ Research"
    and a special counsel with "Heritage Action", made a number of claims in his presentation
    based on his belief that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives are discriminatory,
    and therefore illegal.

    As a member of ALEC’s "Energy, Environment and Agriculture Task Force", he is involved in drafting and voting on most of the group’s pro-fossil fuel policies alongside lawmakers and polluting industry lobbyists.

    DORTMUND (ANP/BELGA) - De Engelse spits Ollie Watkins zegt dat hij de bal nooit beter heeft geraakt dan bij zijn winnende treffer tegen Oranje (2-1).

  8. Dear Friends of Invisibility,

    I once read a book from
    #Watkins on #invisibility. A new age book, the main #technique involved being #silent in a cupboard/closet for long periods. That'll do it! Other ways:

    - Hide in plain site (make weird the new norm)
    - Go out as Knight/Night staker
    - Find out what is
    #inappropriate, do, wear, present
