The #RBA get advice from this RWNJs crowd, the Centre for Independent Studies (CIS).
“CIS has been and remains a strongly Right-leaning think tank. “The Centre for Independent Studies promotes free choice and individual liberty”. It “believes true liberty and prosperity can only be achieved with a small state that defends free speech and national sovereignty”. It believes that “the excessive increases in public spending most governments in the developed world chose to make in response to the COVID crisis … (are) an alternative form of socialism”. It is concerned about China’s increasing “global footprint”. (All quotes from “ CIS About”,)
A current major activity at CIS is the questioning of Australia’s renewable energy plans and strong support for a future role for nuclear energy in Australia.” (Source:

#Thinktanks, die versuchen mit Mafia, tibetischen EEG und Mindcontrol Methoden meine Intution/Religion auf ihre Bimbos zu übertragen.
UK & NYC Empfindlichkeiten mit Zigaretten + #Gras #Prohibition und #Mafia #Fokus, während #spiegelverkehrt die größten #Fascho-#Heuchler meine Eltern, Freund/innen und mich versklaven, #vergiften, sexuell missbrauchen, traumatisieren, foltern und pseudo-#abhängig von ihrer #Gunst machen, weil sie #alles #klauen wollen.
Wenn ich mal abergläubisch spekulativ werden soll, würd ich sagen, dass Großteil der Projektionen auf mein Leben in #NYC zwischen Moritz #Klenk + #Thinktanks entstanden und der Rest der Akteure Ableitungen davon sind.

Because, #priorities man. The annual "Tax Day Receipt" is one of those #ThinkTanks reports more Americans should consider #reading
Meanwhile, "Cry havoc! and let slip the dogs of war!"

Zeitgeist - ein vergifteter Wind.
Geister, die ich rief: #ThinkTanks im Schatten, die ihre Intelligenz missbrauchen, um Massen zu manipulieren.
Wenn #Präsidenten die Wahrheit beugen, wird die Gesellschaft krank.
Die #Lüge, ein starkes Gift.
Bewusst verabreicht, als wäre sie Medizin. Verwerflich.
What do you find when you peel back the curtains behind Jordan Peterson & the ”heterodox” movement:
Fossil fuel hedge funds, Russian oligarch money.

In the UK, there's a shortage of meds,
Brexit fears are messing with heads,
Reports show the worst,
Shortages have burst,
Hope solutions arise to curb dreads.

There's a shortage in the UK, they fear,
In medicine, the crisis is clear,
Brexit plays a part,
Causing many to start,
Searching for solutions, shedding a tear.

Die Heritage Foundation will ihre Ideologie nach Europa exportieren – unterstützt von konservativen Kräften. Politologe E.J. Fagan (University of Illinois): "Sie wollen, dass die ganze Welt ihre Version des ultra rechten Konservativismus übernimmt."

Vielen Dank im schonmal!
There once was a nation so fine
With wealth that was in steep decline
After a decade so long
Their place in the throng
Of affluent lands started to resign

Death misery and tears
Calculated waves of fear
Drawn up by think tanks
There’s a darkness in the west
Oil swilling
Guzzling corporates
Central banking
Mind-fucking omnipotence
Claudia #Major, die kriegslüsterne Stimme der #StiftungWissenschaftUndPolitik, einer Organisation, die einst die Organisation Gehlen, der Vorläufer des BND, gegründet hat. Dazu muss man wissen, die Organisation Gehlen war ein Verbund ehemaliger Nazis des militärischen Nachrichtendienstes Fremde Heere Ost. Da paßt es ins Bild, dass die Dame nun auch Senior Vice President des German Marshall Fund geworden ist.

"This brief provides a detailed analysis of a first-of-its-kind, publicly available repository of U.S. think tank funding — www.thinktankfundingtracker.org. The repository tracks funding from foreign governments, the U.S. government, and Pentagon contractors to the top 50 think tanks in the United States over the past five years. It serves as a vital research guide for anyone wishing to learn more about the funding sources of prominent U.S. think tanks.
The repository gives a five-point transparency score to each of the top 50 think tanks in the U.S., a scale created by the authors based on five binary questions. Based on this criteria, nine of the top 50 think tanks (18 percent) are fully transparent, while 23 think tanks (46 percent) are partially transparent. Most concerning, the remaining 18 think tanks (36 percent) are “dark money” think tanks, entirely opaque in their funding without revealing donors.
In the past five years, foreign governments and foreign government-owned entities donated more than $110 million to the top 50 think tanks in the United States. The most generous donor countries were the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and Qatar, which contributed $16.7 million, $15.5 million, and $9.1 million to U.S. think tanks, respectively. The Atlantic Council, Brookings Institution, and German Marshall Fund received the most money from foreign governments since 2019: $20.8 million, $17.1 million, and $16.1 million, respectively.
In that same period, the top 100 defense companies have contributed more than $34.7 million to the top 50 think tanks"
@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.
