@gusseting
I kind of agree with you, about the controling aspects of the #FossilFuelLobby. On the other hand, if not for fossil fuel, there would be other lobbies seeking #StateCapture. It is in the #moneyedClass interest to excert as much influence as money can buy after all. Remember the Tabacco Lobbies of yore? Same thing. Today we can also point to the #GamblingIndustry and increasingly #DefenceIndustries.

Unfortunately, with power comes #Greed and #Corruption and #TheRich like it that way. All we can do is stay one step behind our #Leaders ensuring we don’t fall too far back. And the only way to do that is through the ballot box, consistent activism and community-led campaigns (including petitions, protest sit-ins/marches and boycotts, etc.).

I’m hopeful that consistent messaging by communities eventually cuts through to polies and that our govt (of whatever ilk) will eventually push back against #Zionism and its growing influence in everyday Australian social life because it is so egregious atm.

Also more peeps ought to have a good long think about it all and take a moral and ethical stand vis a vis #Gaza, #WestBank #Lebanon, etc. not much help if peeps keep watching #FoxFakeNews and similar #Cronies IMO.

In the grand scheme of things, we need to break up #Oligarchies , #Oligopolies and get serious about progressive #TaxReform.

#Starmer's ''reforms' have taken the UK's #HouseOfLords from 85% appointed cronies to 96% appointed #cronies. He ejected the 92 #HereditaryPeers, but kept the 26 bishops and about 700 cronies.

It's over a century since the Parliament Act 1911 promised the UK an elected upper house, but not "immediately". The number of elected members remains 0%. Zilch. Nada. Nothing.

96% appointed cronies. And they call it "democracy".

Two #kings?

Well, let's compare ...

Where Charles has a #crown, Trump has #cronies.
Where Charles has old castles, Trump had gold towers.
Where Charles was inthroned one, Trump was impeached twice.

The king of con certainly is bigglier than the king of Great Britain.

Depending on #Magyar ‘s government decision and legislative agenda, the participation of the #EU Prosecutor’s Office into the #Hungarian investigation of alleged #Corruption by the outgoing #Orban government may be enshrined into law. This could spell no end of trouble for Orban (whom is, I believe, is making himself scarce) and his #Cronies. tumultuous times for #Hungary

Hongrie : l’heure des comptes a-t-elle sonné ?

Les nouveaux États membres peuvent étendre la compétence du Parquet européen aux affaires passées, jusqu’à cinq ans avant 2021. Une décision clé, désormais entre les mains du nouveau Premier ministre hongrois Péter Magyar. #EuropeNews

#Starmer has just made the #HouseOfLords even worse.

In 1958, the Lords was a set of #HereditaryPeers & bishops. On Tuesday, the House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill passed, making the Lords a bunch only of #LifePeers & bishops. 68 years from a club of #inbreds to a club of #cronies & donors.

The #ParliamentAct1911 promised an elected upper house, but it never arrived. 115 years later, the so-called "#LabourParty" leaves bishops as the only independent Lords. This is not #democracy.

Let me just copy-pasta this over here:

"“We’re not going to get the same quality or breadth of information we would have by being in the #WHO, or have anywhere the influence we had.”"

But the $2B to be spent by the US now will all be funneled through #Trump #Cronies and #Bedfellows

As intended
