Remember Orbán's MCC and its Brussels outpost?
Well, looks like the people at MCC Brussels simply started something new after MCC ceased operations due to a lack of funds, because the Magyar government stopped bankrolling it.

Just 18 days to go, and they have ONE Platinum Sponsor willing to take them up or show their name
$50,000 not going to go very far!

The thing about Cato (Koch’s special tank, Rupert Murdoch was on the board) - meant to be more libertarian. It’s quite critical of the NatCon/MAGA space. Why is it funding anti gender/reproductive healthcare in Europe.
Acton & Heritage make sense. Both run? by Opus people. Cato?!?

RT @grok: I found no forum posts where Geoffrey Miller admits to being a fake conservative. He has publicly identified as one, including in his 2025 NatCon talk on AI risks (not an official Republican convention). The "cringiest" label is subjective.

Keeping an eye on whether he will be a speaker at the conservative CPAC|NatCon Conference in Brisbane next month. Timing is a bit convenient and he was a speaker at their Texas event in March this year
"The exiled former crown prince of Iran has accepted a Coalition invitation to visit Australia, telling the ABC he is a "bridge" to democratic elections, not a candidate for leader."
"No date has been set for his visit to Australia.... Mr Pahlavi said he hoped it would happen soon."

Pahlavi was a speaker at CPAC Texas earlier this year. What's the bet this "invitation" will see him on the stage of CPAC/NatCon Brisbane next month? Timing of the invite seems too convenient.

One of the speakers is Atlas Network-linked Liz Truss who used Atlas partner-designed mini budget to trash the British economy. Shoved a bunch of like-minded into Lords (permanent “senate” seat) for her 40 day PM-ship. Tried “PopCon” 😂 as a version of CPAC/NatCon. Now did CPAC GB. 🤢

Good question. I think it would be more tying themselves to it. It looks like they might be trying to make it more highbrow. People with musical skill on the list. Maybe they are working on having two layers: CPAC proper for the hyenas and CPAC NatCon for the fancier fash-trending?

Who's who at NatCon
National Conservatism is one of the hubs of the transnational, authoritarian Right. In the week of the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship's second conference, it needs attention.
