Murdoch’s culture warriors are interlinked with the Atlas Network & national conservatism more and less officially. Rita Panahi is pushing Atlas partner affiliate Jacinta N Price with natcon-ish Andrew Hastie as a ticket. This is part of Murdochista’s job. #Auspol open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

It’s the weekend. You should definitely read about the international circles that Andrew Hastie and Jacinta Nampijinpa Price are moving in, #Auspol (As well as Tony Abbott, John Anderson, John Howard and Amanda Stoker.) Caveat: not saying they espouse eugenics, just that those are the circles.

The Traitors’ castle was built by Alexander Matheson, whose uncle Co-founded the opium smuggling firm Jardine Matheson & Co., the key instigator the Opium Wars. Finalist @davidolusoga.bsky.social happens to be hosting a great new series about Empire now on BBC 2.

Her husband was at Broadview one month and she was never able to talk to him. Not until he was already in Mexico. He had been in Chicago for 20 years. Her husband shared that the numbers of people there were astounding. It just makes me think how many people that are not counted/just disappeared.

He said there was no room to sleep. People sat up, slept on the floor, standing up. He saw many pregnant women there too. The conditions were unbearable. His wife is horrified by his account.

International #Fascism #Networks and #Eugenics.

The genetic superiority of uber-wealthy white men has been back for some time in rightwing circles. They're just less shy about expressing it publicly now.

It’s really good to see the ABC reporting using ‘child’ and ‘cell’. Too often reporting describes children as ‘young people’ and prison cells as ‘detention facilities’. Across Australia governments are putting children, alone, in prison cells. It must stop. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

A must read. Thankyou

It’s not just the tech fascists. Across the international radicalising Right, biological determinism is back in public. DEI is depicted as contradicting the facts of nature: being an affluent White man is proof one is genetically superior. No program can change that “fact.” 🙄 Read up #Auspol

🤣🎯

How much longer is this farce of a sideshow going to continue? NACC Commissioner, Paul Brereton, is once again embroiled in controversy. The NACC Inspector, Gail Furness is currently investigating several complaints against Mr Brereton. His position is untenable. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

John Menadue: “Charles was a very active participant in the dismissal of Gough Whitlam 50 years ago. Don’t make any mistake about that. Charles was up to his royal ears in it. He was not politically neutral. He sided with privilege and aristocracy.” johnmenadue.com/post/2025/11....

"Affluent White men are really annoyed about steps towards giving other groups a fair go. Really bloody annoyed." Must read from @lucyham.bsky.social @theshot.net.au on the dark money-funded white nationalist global network and its Australian advocates. #auspol theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Across the world, right-wingers are embracing the old idea that they’re genetically, culturally, fixed as superior. Whether as White, Western, men and/or affluent, they deserve everything because nature made them better. If we’re not willing to serve them quietly, we’re disposable. #auspol

Don’t leave Tolkien for the white supremacist neo-aristocracy (and make sure these neo-fash know that they’re man-eating Orcs not Númenóreans).

It’s going to get even more dangerous for trans people to leave the US if their passports don’t match who they are, with a violently bigoted border force. The better plutocrats need to be giving to a fund to help people seek safety outside the US. Many can’t afford to flee. Being trans makes poorer.

This ought to terrify you. What the hell is going on @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social #auspol

Don’t forget to watch this much needed and long overdue series on the British Empire. Remarkably, it’s not based on the opinions of a travelling ‘personality’, but on what historians who’ve actually researched it say! www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

“Instead of pouring more fuel on the fire with billions in fossil fuel subsidies, it’s time the government taxed the fossil fuel industry to create a National Climate Disaster Fund." - Senior Economist @jack-thrower.bsky.social quoted in @thepointau.bsky.social #auspol

This is what a New Era looks like.

@lucyham.bsky.social I just read your Christian vs Woke PDF. What a well researched document Interesting it mentions veganism as a subject the Christian right attacks Yesterday I watched a video about why the vegan food market has collapsed. @ 7:30 it mentions right-wing youtu.be/ytGC_43yjXA?...

This quote from the review: “including one individual who was a known Nazi but was recruited as a paid ASIO agent.” Nafeez Ahmed’s Alt Reich shows the degree to which anti-communist hysteria made Nazi intelligence a natural fit into Anglo intelligence #auspol

#Auspol This is what @albomp.bsky.social team replaced Mark Dreyfus and his integrity platform with, when they got sick of fighting him. Replace Albo with someone who isn’t a corporate stooge, @australianlabor.bsky.social Mamdani is the model to watch, not Starmer. #NACC

Agree. This is disturbing "She told the prayer breakfast that she has been praying to St Paul “quite a bit”, who she compared to a ‘chief operating officer’." I'd rather not have elected politicians seeking guidance from god, St Paul or any other religious figure

Soooo my "Dick Cheney is dead, let's party" post got censored by the bluesky mods as 'rude', yet non of the posts where I use the word Cunt have been declared rude. So rude now official means "unkind to dead war criminal mass murdering filth" rather than its traditional usage.

MAJOR UPDATE: We caught Maryland Governor Wes Moore attending a private breakfast meeting at the home of Exxon lobbyist Michael McKay. Today we share the never-before-seen footage from inside that meeting.

Watching this, I wonder how far Atlas and Advance have their claws into Labor too, @lucyham.bsky.social ?

How’s this for a multifunction 🔥 😳

Trump promises not to starve one group of Americans if the Dems agree to let an overlapping swathe of Americans die younger, bankrupt, stripped of healthcare. See the new King at work, Americans. Avoid the American political economy at all costs, #Auspol #NZpol

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

Just caught up on another wonderful & informative episode of the Sunday Shot with Jo and @davemilbo.bsky.social and @lucyham.bsky.social and @ketanjoshi.co and Brendan Sykes. Jo & Dave always have the best guests on to wrap up the week’s politix

The Centre for Independent Studies and Institute of Public Affairs (Atlas partners) are running this US/UK scam to break public education so they can stop students learning to critique their tosh. Academies/charter schools allow the plutocrats much more control over what is taught. #Auspol

Should have called it the Canavandal Climate Trust

This is a crucial investigation. Dembicki brings the literal receipts for Exxon using the #AtlasNetwork to break climate action in the Global South. Lomberg’s presence is telling. He is present at the end of “Merchants of Doubt” as the latest of a few cooperative “scientists”. #Auspol #NZpol

This is a tragedy. Teen Vogue was one of the very few mainstream organisations educating against America’s descent into thorough fascism. The “party of free speech” strikes again.

LNP “Statesmen” of #Auspol

‘The title sounds benign: “The ‘vibe shift’ in middle England”. This set of activists is not benign: they code switch to suit an audience. They intend to radicalise those audiences, one step at a time.’

Excellent read thanks. As LNP disintegrates it's chilling to think what havoc an organised bigoted white colonial political movement might wreak over + above One Nation's clumsy racism. Naive to think it wouldn't gain a foothold but there are fewer glorious white establishment myths to harvest here.

Just caught up. Slight disappointment that @lucyham.bsky.social didn’t get more time to put forward some of her key insights on the drivers of international machinations of the “alt right”. Ridicule won’t rid us of these dangerous, dark triad, “wealth accumulation at all costs” mad men.

1/2 @lucyham.bsky.social’s forensic examination of proliferating transnational far right think tank & propaganda networks puts me in mind of the collaboration between racist white settler elites to control & demonise Asian migrant flows in the late C19/early C20. substack.com/inbox/post/1...

It is time to stop referring to the National Party as the “junior partner” in the Coalition. Considering the Voice and now where the Libs are heading on net-zero by 2050, it is clear who is in charge. #auspol

This is brilliant

Don’t you think you should read it? 😁 open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2... #Auspol

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits

Recognising the contributions of early Muslims and contemporary migrants strengthens our sense of national identity and social cohesion. It honours the past and future. #auspol #migration

This @oilchange.bsky.social report into how Aus, Norway, the US and Canada are going hell-for-leather on oil and gas is pretty incredible. This graphic stood out to me: oilchange.org/publications...

And @davemilbo.bsky.social nailed it on the Abundance movement. Excellent episode and a great discussion. Thank you, Dave. Thank you @instanterudite.bsky.social, @lucyham.bsky.social, and @ketanjoshi.co. 👏👏👏👏 Also happy birthday and many wonderful returns, Ketan! 🎉🎂🎉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaOg...
