Ask yourself why the #US thought putting avowed #Nazis in #political #ThinkTanks was such a great idea…

It's a regular #deception, esp in #UK in past #decades, where U #leverage a #sacrificial #corporate #body ( #carehome #WaterCompany), with #huge #debt, & while #alive drawing huge #cash amounts from it, until it #dies. #TreasureIsland #thinktanks #Thatcher #carehomes #aging x.com/i/grok/share...

The great care home cash grab: how private equity turned vulnerable elderly people into human ATMs When did care homes come to be seen as recession-proof investments? And who pays the price?

Ich halte sogenannte #Thinktanks inzwischen für Institutionen, die interessengesteuert den sozialen Zusammenhalt untergraben und demokratische Strukturen schwächen, wenn diese ihren eigenen Interessen entgegenstehen.

When prosecutors outsource the writing of terrorism indictments to advocacy groups The guy who wrote 'How to Dismantle Far-Left Extremist Networks' one month before prosecutors filed charges didn't consult on the indictment. He wrote it.

Ideenagenturen für Politik und Öffentlichkeit Die wissenschaftliche Beschäftigung mit Ideenagenturen und Think Tanks ist eine spannende Angelegenheit. Nicht nur, weil die Beschäftigung mit Forschern und ihren Ideen für sich schon aufregend genug ...

Über einen alten (alles relativ) #Podcast bin ich auf ein noch älteres Buch über #ThinkTanks aufmerksam geworden. Gellner (1995) "Ideenagenturen". Gut gemacht (zB: Ideenagentur + Adressaten = Tendenzkoalitionen). Wissenswertes auch etwa über die Anfangänge der #Heritage.

The US is dragging Europe back to the days of white supremacism. Our leaders are playing along | Shada Islam People like me were targets of the Islamophobia that gripped the west after the US-led ‘war on terror’. Now I fear a chilling sequel is on the way, says Shada Islam, a Brussels-based commentator on EU affairs

- The fact that the US state department may soon be funding policy-aligned European #thinktanks and charities should be ringing alarm bells across the continent.

A growing list of #academics, #scientists, #activists, #journalists, #thinktanks, #NGOs, etc. in the #climatechange space are busy trying to somehow add the patina of #solar #batteries to the absurd explosion of #datacenters ( #Alphabet #Amazon #Meta - 100s of billions of $ in 2026 alone).

What happens when, for the last 20yrs, your #NationalSecurity apparatus has, rather than focusing on enemy states/entities, been chasing politically expedient ideological hobgoblins with the encouragement of #ThinkTanks and lobbyists financed by overseas billionaires and #TechBarons ...??

Consider the fact that in Norway, Equinor is state owned, and is a carbon major with rising profits and emissions. Thinktank Australia Institute is encouraging more fossil fuels by taxing them, not less. Where's support for 100% renewables companies?
