The convergence of "freedom fighters," billionaires, social media incubators, lobby donations, dark money, and 'grassroot tomfoolery' forms a complex network that remains largely hidden. As libertarian ideologies advocate for deregulation and personal freedoms, an intriguing alignment is forming between these movements and the wealthy billionaires who support them. Behind the scenes, social media incubators and lobby donations—frequently concealed by dark money—play a vital role in shaping public discourse. This intersection creates an obscure realm where grassroots activism, though seemingly spontaneous, is often directed by powerful interests for their own purposes. This situation prompts important questions about the real motivations behind the so-called fight for freedom and the influence of concealed forces guiding the dialogue.
Brian Marlow serves as the Executive Director of the Australian Taxpayers' Alliance (ATA) and is the Director of Legalise Vaping Australia. In the 2020-2021 financial year, Marlow made personal donations totaling $44,000 to the New South Wales Liberal Party. These contributions were initially reported as personal donations;
ATA Education PTY LTD, a private company trading as Legalise Vaping Australia, is led by Timothy Andrews as Principal. Upon further investigation through ABN, ASIC, and ACNC records, I found a connection to the AE Education Fund, which also lists Timothy Andrews and Brian Marlow. The contact email associated with this fund is registered under Andrews at Australian Taxpayers' Alliance.
Let's take a closer look at information circulated by incubators, who DO NOT disclosure affiliations with large lobby groups. Questioning everything the "freedom movement" can't research. The Colour Revolution
Sam Kennard, the Managing Director of Kennards Self Storage, has been actively involved in Australian politics, particularly aligning with libertarian principles. In 2015, he ran as a candidate for the Liberal Democratic Party (now known as the Libertarian Party) in the North Sydney by-election.
Beyond his candidacy, Kennard has made significant financial contributions to political causes. He has been a notable donor to Advance Australia, a conservative lobby group. Reports indicate that through his company, Siesta Holdings, Kennard donated $125,000 to Advance Australia. Additionally, he contributed $115,000 to the same organization.
Kennard's involvement with Advance Australia aligns with his libertarian views, as the organisation advocates for conservative and libertarian policies. His financial support underscores his commitment to promoting these ideologies within Australia's political landscape.
Staged beef is a basic behaviour insight anchor, which raises a critical issue about chameleon stakeholders/actors who brand and rebrand in lockstep with charities, discretionary trusts and body corporates that should be classified as lobby groups. This concern highlights the need for transparency in sponsorship and endorsement, particularly when groups are associated with religious or ideological programs, such as those linked to the "kingdom of god" initiatives. One solution is to remove the exemption language under who must register. Is it a cult, is it a lobby, or a Kingdom of God Con (KoGCoN)?
In February 2022, the ABC reported that The Australian Electoral Commission disclosed information on political donations amounting to millions of dollars, identifying the largest donors and the industries contributing the most to politics. However, as Inga Ting points out, a significant portion of this funding remains obscured. Editor's note: The introduction mentioned 'hundreds of millions' of dollars in political donations, but the total amount reported by political parties was $177 million.
Tim Andrews is a prominent Australian libertarian activist and the founder of the Australian Taxpayers' Alliance (ATA), established in 2012. The ATA is an advocacy organization dedicated to representing Australian taxpayers by opposing over-regulation, wasteful spending, and high taxes.
Andrews holds a Bachelor of Economics, a Bachelor of Laws, and a Master of Public Policy from the University of Sydney. During his academic tenure, he served two terms as Federal President of the Australian Liberal Students' Federation and was elected to the Board of Management of the HR Nicholls Society in 2007.
In addition to his work with the ATA, Andrews has been involved with various libertarian and taxpayer advocacy groups internationally. He has served as the Director of Consumer Issues for Americans for Tax Reform and the Tholos Foundation. He is also a member of the Board of Advisors for the UK Taxpayers Foundation, the Commonwealth Freedom of Movement Foundation, the HR Nicholls Society, and the Australian Libertarian Society.
