Jeremy Buffer Jones :tinoflag:<a href="https://feedsin.space/feed/rnzbot_political" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rnzbot_political</a> It’s well past time the disproportionate influence of the <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/AtlasNetwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AtlasNetwork</a> and affiliate member groups like <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NZTPU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NZTPU</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NZInitiative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NZInitiative</a> on <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NZPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NZPol</a> policy, underfunding of government departments and <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/TeTiriti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TeTiriti</a> legitimacy was exposed. The threat to <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a> independence and democracy by foreign interest interfering with domestic politics is very real but the silence from <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NZMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NZMedia</a> also points to complicity. <a href="https://thedailyblog.co.nz/2024/02/13/atlas-network-shrugged-what-is-intellectually-driving-influencing-the-nz-right/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://thedailyblog.co.nz/2024/02/13/atlas-network-shrugged-what-is-intellectually-driving-influencing-the-nz-right/</a>

This is hugely problematic for <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a> independence and democracy.

Jeremy Buffer Jones :tinoflag:Being budget day for our <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NZPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NZPol</a> government we will see more of our country’s wealth be redistributed to the richest people and further austerity measures being used to punish the poorest. It’s important to understand this is <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/neoliberalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neoliberalism</a> working as the <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/AtlasNetwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AtlasNetwork</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/TPU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TPU</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NZInitiative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NZInitiative</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Act" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Act</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/National" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#National</a> & <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NZFirst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NZFirst</a> intend. I recommend watching this interview with George Monbiot to better understand what neoliberalism is. <a href="https://youtu.be/Rz3mZeKRCEI?si=zWkrhZ2pYE5pBGbM" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/Rz3mZeKRCEI?si=zWkrhZ2pYE5pBGbM</a>

The other morning I texted <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/RNZ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RNZ</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/MorningReport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MorningReport</a> asking why they didn’t declare Stuff’s political editor Luke Malpass’ association with the Atlas Network. NZs very democracy is being dismantled by big $. <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NZPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NZPol</a>

Jeremy Buffer Jones :tinoflag:<a href="https://mastodon.nz/@Kay" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Kay</a> And when I ask if <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NZMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NZMedia</a> are being wilfully ignorant about the direct influence US far right groups are having on <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a> democracy the answer should be obvious to <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NZTwits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NZTwits</a> when they understand Stuff political editor, Luke Malpass, is the former CEO of the <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NZInitiative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NZInitiative</a>, a regional member of the US <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/AtlasNetwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AtlasNetwork</a> whose mission statement is to overthrow left wing govts across the world. <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NZPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NZPol</a>

Jeremy Buffer Jones :tinoflag:<a href="https://mastodon.nz/@Kay" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Kay</a> And the anti <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/3Waters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#3Waters</a> anti Māori anti Tiriti o Waitangi and anti democracy astroturf groups active in <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a> are all being directed and in part funded by the US Far Right lobbying organisation the <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/AtlasNetwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AtlasNetwork</a> which both the NZ <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/TaxPayersUnion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TaxPayersUnion</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NZInitiative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NZInitiative</a> are members of. I certainly would prefer US style attack ads made by NZers than anti NZ democracy ads made by the US. Are <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NZMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NZMedia</a> wilfully ignorant? <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NZPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NZPol</a>

Jeremy Buffer Jones :tinoflag:You know you are living in a strange time and place where facts don't matter when the <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NZPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NZPol</a> media do a deep dive into the Labour Party's unannounced tax policy based on a rumour from the opposition. Hilariously, it turns out the far right <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NZInitiative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NZInitiative</a>'s Eric Crampton would rather the govt gave poor people money to spend on shit unhealthy processed food than make healthy options cheaper.

peteo<a href="https://botsin.space/@rnzfans" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rnzfans</a> The problem with articles like this is that there are so many vested interests and hidden agendas in play it's hard to read and actually learn muchFor instance, why is the <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NZInitiative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NZInitiative</a> involved, and why are they leaking this kind of draft documentAnd it's not until the end of the document (who knows how many people read to the end?) that there is knowledgeable commentary from the authors.
