Trump's Tantrum: Kennedy Center Closes Its Doors to the Golden Nameplate
A judge told Trump he couldn't put his name on the Kennedy Center. His response: close the building. This is what happens when someone confuses institutional leadership with ownership.

A legitimate look at the capture of institutions we rely on for protection - and what the pattern of suppression reveals about whose interests the consensus serves.

The watchdog overseeing government appointments, Acoba, warned -

“there are real and perceived risks her network gained in office might be used to assist G Square Capital unfairly”.

Last year the government abolished the watchdog.

It stinks.

...and voila - you've weaponized public resources for narrative control. The real purpose isn't historical accuracy but institutional capture of the entities that shape our understanding of ourselves. #PowellMemo #InstitutionalCapture

They keep telling me this in their OIA response letters, but why does every batch of OIA docs I get about the MAG tell a different story?
Why is this official story so important to them?

Screenshot of a section of an OIA letter “The document also states that the English and mathematics & statistics learning areas were being reviewed and rewritten by the MAG, but the MAG was not responsible for rewriting the curriculum documents. Following the delivery of the MAG’s report, the Ministry of Education established curriculum writing groups to progress work on the English and mathematics & statistics learning areas per the agreed MAG recommendations”

I examined how New Zealand’s education reforms fit global patterns of competitive authoritarianism — connecting March 15 emails and parliamentary confessions to established democratic theory.

I documented a democratic institution being captured in real-time. Here is how you can recognise it.

Weaken the judiciary and you consolidate power because the interpretive ‘tempering’ of the courts is lost. What is law and lawful becomes what power says it is.

(See post 6/6 in this thread for the importance of a strong judiciary.)

The Trump administration's deportation tactics align with a legal strategy called "court-baiting," which has been used to undermine judicial power in various countries.

What’s described in here regarding the way higher education is being attacked in the USA will be familiar to those of us in New Zealand. That it is connected convincingly to what has happened in Turkey, Poland, and Mexico is chilling.

Some of #US may ask ourselves, "How could it be possible to pull off such a large scale, multi-state, logistical operation, in the goal of #RiggingThe2024Election?", and a fair question that would be. It would take no small amount of #ShadowGovernance, and #InstitutionalCapture.

11/12 "Twitter Files–ing is a brute-force tactic," the author writes, describing its "authoritarian genius"—take over an institution, use its information against it to show corruption, suggest only you can fix it, and repeat the cycle elsewhere.

"When official messaging sounds indistinguishable from influencer ideology, the institution has stopped protecting the public sphere, and started reinforcing its collapse.

That’s #InstitutionalCapture in its final form."

🧵I've posted previously about how institutional capture by disordered discourse works, and I want to highlight this post from DOD Rapid Response to show what it looks like in action, and what it tells us.

It’s a textbook example of Stage 5: Entrenchment & Epistemic Closure.
