@noelreports Context: Geert #Wilders is a far right extremist that used the topics of asylum and migration as a means to hijack The #Netherlands. Claiming that the country is overflowing with thugs and diluting the Dutch culture.

Meanwhile, this actual thug has been cozying up to the likes of dictators like #Putin, #Orbán, #Netanyahu and other far right extremists who attend the #CPAC.

For the coming campaign, bet on it that he will get help from his rich buddies, perhaps some action from their intelligence services to influence our elections.

The answer is: Liz Truss, the former (salad survival length) Prime Minister of the UK. The (very real) international conspiracy of far right pro fossil fuel crazies is taking root everywhere. It showed its face at #CPAC. These people want what #Trump does, but everywhere.

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.

Over on Bluesky I was reminded that people have a hate on for #RosemaryBarton so I will remind people that #CPAC and #CBCRadio as well as the commercial stations like #CTV and #Global are also alternatives. #FundTheCBC

ICE impersonation has become a viral meme among MAGA fascists for months.

Some comedians went to conservative conference, CPAC, last month and here's how common ICE imperonsation has gotten in the US.

Veterans Group Wants to Make Elon the Supervillain of the Midterms

A new ad campaign from VoteVets goes after vulnerable House Republicans by turning the spotlight on DOGE.
https://www.thebulwark.com/p/veterans-group-wants-to-make-elon-the-supervillain-of-midterms

"The #ads all feature the same roundtable of #veterans sharing their struggles after losing #employment because of #DOGE cuts...

it features #Musk throughout, incl the now infamous scene of him wielding a chainsaw on stage at #CPAC."

About 10 minutes into this video, is the second story which covers #CPAC , which along with other far right loonies, there's a bloke with a nutter wearing ...wait for it...an #ICE jacket. FYI, these jackets are sold to ANY moron for around $30.
