The 878 group lists its founding directors as Jacob Rees-Mogg, the former minister of state for Brexit opportunities, and his former special adviser Dr Radomir Tylecote, who has appeared on short-lived former prime minister Liz Truss' YouTube show. During his appearance, he claimed: 'We are not a functioning democracy at this point ... it's a worse system than in the United States.' ... The group notes: 'We take no government money and have no political agenda'. But critics see it as a partisan rallying point for 'anti-woke' grievance which has campaigned on issues that have become conservative causes célèbres. Rees-Mogg, Young, and Tylecote were all scheduled to speak in London this week at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the inaugural British spin-off - organised by Liz Truss - of the influential US event. Earlier this month, Young appeared on Rees-Mogg's GB News show to warn that the UK's 'Soviet-level censorship' of social media risked angering Donald Trump and JD Vance." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/17/trump-administration-to-grant-12m-to-groups-founded-by-uk-conservatives-jacob-rees-mogg-and-toby-young #IRLJournalistTobyYoungAKAToadmeister #OrgClassifPPUKConservativePartyJacobReesMogg #AdvocacyAELegatumInstituteRadomirTylecote #OrgClassifPPUKConservativePartyLizTruss #PhenomnBrexit #NMUKGBNews #OrgRUSovietUnionOfSovietSocialistRepublicsUSSR #PhenomnCensorship #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPJDVance #AdvocacyUKFreeSpeechUnionFSU #AdvocacyUK878 "Our name - from the pivotal year of 878 AD - conveys the urgency of our own era.

Now more than ever, it is incumbent on us all to rediscover and nurture the roots of our shared English-speaking civilisation in order to defend it. At 878, we are renewing our Judeo-Christian culture and civilisational mission. Future leaders in Britain and America will need to appreciate the deepest roots of our political life and our freedoms.

Yeah - that one's a lie. ... that post up there has already been debunked by an entire cottage industry of fact-checkers who will point out that the diesel calculations for the big mining trucks is wrong, the amount of dirt moved is wrong, and speak to the fact that those minerals, once pulled from the ground to be used in batteries, can be indefinitely recycled, meaning that initial carbon expense is only paid once, whereas a fossil fuel has a carbon cost to get from the ground, a carbon cost to refine, a carbon cost to transport, and a carbon cost to burn ... and, of course, once it's burned, you can't reuse it.

But in California, the pandemic seems likely to give the state's political and corporate elites a new license to increase their dominion while continuing to keep the middle and working classes down. Perhaps nothing spells the triumph of California's progressive oligarchy more than Governor Gavin Newsom's decision to off-load the state's recovery strategy to a task force co-chaired by hedge-fund billionaire Tom Steyer. A recently failed presidential candidate, Steyer stands as a progressive funder. He is as zealous as he is rich. Steyer sometimes even found the policies adopted by climate-obsessed former governor Jerry Brown not extreme enough for his tastes." https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2020/04/27/triumph_of_the_woke_oligarchs_490094.html #OtheringElitesLiberalCulturalEducated #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyGavinNewsom #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyJerryBrown ^[Wikipedia] #TheoryDragonsOfInactionPerceivedRiskFinancial

It's a far cry from the usual fare on RealClearPolitics. Founded in 2000, the site was an early online aggregator of political news, curating links to widely read politics stories and opinion articles in other major outlets. ... The Daily Beast connected ConservativeCountry.net to RealClear through archives on the Wayback Machine, which show that the website had RealClear's Google Analytics tracker code and that some of the site's images were served from the WordPress account of RealClear's chief technology officer. Interviews with former editorial staff of ConservativeCountry.net confirmed that it was a stealth RealClear property. ... Conservative Country isn't the first ultra-partisan title that's been connected to RealClear. A 2017 SEC filing listed RealClear co-founder John McIntyre as a director at FDRLST Media and put both companies at the same Chicago address. FDRLST Media is the parent company of The Federalist... RealClear didn't respond to questions about the Facebook page but acknowledged that it created the website. 'The Conservative Country website was created as part of an effort to understand the flow of traffic from social media--particularly Facebook--to political websites,' said RealClear CTO Anand Ramanujan in an email to The Daily Beast.

#MetaphorVersusCostEnvironment "The predictably pious Steyer and his fellow commissioners will no doubt claim devotion to the interests of average citizen. But, as a new lawsuit filed by some 300 civil rights leaders asserts, the policies being backed by Steyer and his fellow commissioners have already had produced disastrous results for millions of Californians. The real collective badge of shame is not California's GHG [Green House Gas] emissions but the prevalence of poverty amid enormous affluence. Critically, economic growth, at least outside asset- and iPhone-price inflation, is itself considered a threat to the planet within the environmental community, which largely hails the Covid lockdowns as a 'fire drill' for future actions to promote 'de-growth.' The open hope, as a Psychology Today writer puts it, would be to tame 'the human beast' by imposing low-consumption lifestyles on hoi polloi, including in developing countries. Such policies might not affect the prospects for social media, search, or import- dependent firms like Apple, but they have already been beastly for millions of Californians." #IRLBusinesspersonTomSteyer #CauseCivilRights #ToponymAmericaNorthUSCalifornia #LiteralSubstanceGasToxicAirEmissions #PhenomnDeprivationPoverty #BrandAppleiPhone #ConditionVirusCOVID19PandemicMitigationLockdown #MagazineUSPsychologyTodayNigelBarber

All the experts for example professor Michael Kelly - and everybody else who knows about this story. And I know a little bit about energy, because before I became chancellor, I was secretary of state for energy. So, it's not a new field - but the the cost of moving from cheap and reliable energy, to very expensive and unreliable energy, is massive - and it's crazy.

If you look at a model made 30 years ago and look how well it's done in the 30 years since, if you look at the data for the last 30 years, on average the models have been heating twice as fast as the data.' This claim was, of course, entirely false. A study by Zeke Hausfather and co-authors on 'Evaluating the performance of past climate model projections', which was published in December 2019 in the journal 'Geophysical Research Letters', concluded: 'We find that climate models published over the past five decades were generally quite accurate in predicting global warming in the years after publication, particularly when accounting for differences between modeled and actual changes in atmospheric CO2 and other climate drivers'." https://www.lse.ac.uk/granthaminstitute/news/climate-change-sceptics-abuse-freedom-of-expression/ #NMUKBBCToday_ #PhenomnEnergyRenewableGreenEnergy #IRLClimatologistZekeHausfather #JournalGeophysicalResearchLetters #LiteralSubstanceGasCO2
