Day 20 💰💰🏭🏦🛢️☢️🕍⛪🙏🔥

“spin-off of the US-based #CPAC – short for Conservative Political Action Conference – the #Sydney-based outfit described itself as a “values-based” organisation that “espouses the best of #Howard, #Reagan and #Thatcher while exploring new ideas and themes for the coming generations”.

Guests at the August event included #OneNation senator Pauline Hanson, Michelle Pearse, the CEO of the #AustralianChristianLobby, and broadcaster and soon-to-be alleged sex offender, #AlanJones.

Overseas talent included Jay Aeba, chairman of the Japanese Conservative Union and Heather Wilson, mother of six and co-founder of #GiveSendGo, a #Christian #crowdfunding network which has helped raise money for #NeoNazis and #AntiVaxxers

“Then, in 2018, investment banker and long-time #ClimateConspiracist Maurice Newman, billionaire storage king Sam Kennard, and David Adler, of the #FarRight Australian Jewish Association (AJA), got together to form #AdvanceAustralia. Money was no problem: #HedgeFund manager and #Liberal Party donor Simon Fenwick tipped in $190,000; a further $400,000 came from Sydney #Establishment couple Rodney and Judith O’Neil, and the Taylor #winemaking family.

Advance pitched itself as a champion of the #SilentMajority#HowardsBattlers 2.0. But its real concerns were better expressed by another early backer, #hotelier James Power, who was then engaged in a battle to prevent women from becoming members of #Brisbane’s #Tattersall’s Club.”

If you noticed a darker turn to the election this week, here’s a good explanation of the WHY and HOW. Also I see Tony 🧅 got a new job.

#KristiNoem Says $200 Million #DHS Ad Campaign Thanking #Trump Was His Idea

Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary said he instructed her to make ads that “thank me for closing the border”

By Andrew Perez, Asawin Suebsaeng

"The ad campaign amounts to an extremely expensive taxpayer-funded propaganda blitz to scare off #migrants and to flatter Trump on television. On Friday, Trump’s DHS secretary entertained the #CPAC high-roller audience with her account of how Trump orchestrated the whole thing."

De zoon van Jair Bolsonaro is nu de persoonlijke koerier tussen zijn fascistische vader en het fascistische MAGA regiem.

Hij drukt op alle MAGA knoppen. USAID wordt gebruikt om de democratie van Brazilië te ondermijnen, en zijn vader is de enige die kan verhinderen dat Brazilië in Chinese handen komt.

World Socialist Web SiteTrump-Musk intervene against Brazil’s trial of ex-president Jair Bolsonaro for fascist coup attemptBolsonaro is seeking to benefit from the election of Trump, whose government has promoted fascist forces to establish governments of, by and for the oligarchy globally.

@jefftiedrich has some things to say, and I am here for the reading!

yesterday, a frail old man in serious cognitive decline managed to slip past his caregivers at the White House Home for the Aged, and wandered across town until he found himself at CPAC.

as he looked around, a dim memory was roused within the old man’s long-gone mind.

‘a stage. Donny like being on stage. Donny give speech.’

meandering to the front of the hall, the old man got up on the stage, and, finding himself in front of a microphone, began to gibber incoherently.

#God-like’ Megalomaniac, Narcissistic Sociopath Elon Musk Tells Federal Workers to Detail Work in an Email or Lose Their Jobs

“Elon Musk deepened the confusion and alarm of workers across the federal government Saturday by ordering them to summarize their accomplishments for the week, warning that a failure to do so would be taken as a resignation.

Shortly after Mr. #Musk’s demand, which he posted on X, civil servants across the government received an email from the Office of Personnel Management with the subject line, “What did you do last week?”

Bannon competes with Musk for most plausibly deniable neo-Nazi

Report: After Bannon's "gesture alluding to Nazi ideology” at the Conservative Political Action Conference, France’s far-right leader Jordan Bardella cancelled his planned speech.

Bannon denied making a fascist salute & called Bardella a “wimp”:

"If he’s that worried about it, then he is unworthy & will never lead France".

Musk was either not taking his ketamine or taking too much (or maybe on something else?)

How does this guy have a Security Clearance (or does he?)

“In an appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) yesterday, billionaire Elon Musk seemed to be having difficulty speaking. Musk brandished a chainsaw…to symbolize the drastic cuts he intended to make… then posted that image to X, labeling it “The DogeFather,” although the admin has recently told a court that Musk is neither an employee nor the leader of #DOGE

Letters from an American · February 21, 2025By Heather Cox Richardson

Obsession, die eigene Vergangenheit zu pflegen. Als Napoleon putsche bezog er sich nicht nur aus Cäsar, sondern schrieb gleich eine neue Biografie über ihn, als Prototyp eines starken Führers. Émile Zola meinte dazu, es handele sich um ein Auto-Apologie. Bleibt abzuwarten, über wen Trump schreibt.
