Big day for the understanding of the #AtlasNetwork in Australia. Thanks to Gareth Hutchens and the ABC for publishing the story (and the namecheck 🫣).
You can’t understand the last 50 years of Australia’s history (closer to a century in quieter ways) without this.

Both #Auspol & #NZpol are under seige by PR bodies selling oligarch spin the way Crest sells toothpaste (an #AtlasNetwork quote). Like the nuclear energy campaign, the one against offshore wind is work by fossil fuel to shore up profits. Watch the webinar. lucyham29.substack.com/p/the-americ...

CPAC Australia is calling itself 'NatCon' this year. It may mean more than you think
Sure, it's short for "national conference". But CPAC Australia would be well aware it's also the name of another very prominent European conference for national conservatism.

Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.

I went further on the global Islamophobia context in the revised version of the piece on Zionist activity by front groups in the recent Australian election. The network of networks is illustrative. It’s not just Atlas in any of this rw weirdness but a collation. open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...
Front Groups working with Zionist actors are promoting Islamophobia
Australian front groups have been working to promote the idea that the Greens make many cultural identities less safe. It's - loosely - part of a global Islamophobia industry.
