A useful way to see what the #AtlasNetwork does is to see what it has done elsewhere.
Venezuela, for example.

Atlas Network: Disinformation as a Weapon of Neoliberalism
The organization, founded in 1981, has 589 think tanks in 103 countries that finance the hatred and hoaxes of the extreme right. The objective: to protect the privileges of capital owners.

Pay attention to the existential issues ..

The rise of authoritarianism is undermining climate action.

Authoritarian regimes, often aligned with climate scepticism, weaken climate governance, particularly in the US, Russia, the Middle East .. 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐀𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐀

Authoritarianism is undermining climate action – and time is running out
The global rise of authoritarianism is weakening climate governance just as warming accelerates and tipping points draw near. This failure now poses a direct threat to our future.

Additional thoughts on the neoliberal/neoimperial clusterfork that the MPS & Atlas Network partners did so much to move from fringe to consensus:
In med school, I took an elective called "Stress", foolishly thinking I was going to learn about meditation and yoga. Instead the professor spent 6 weeks proving that being poor or a minority literally destroys your health on a molecular level, and I think about that every day. Mr PitBull v @MrPitbull07 My neighbor works 65 hours a week. He is exhausted. He works 25 hours at a grocery store. He works 20 hours at a warehouse. He works 20 hours at a fast-food joint. He has zero health insurance. Zero 401k. Zero paid sick leave. Why? Because every single employer caps him at "part-time" hours specifically to avoid legally having to provide benefits. He works harder than anyone I know, but on paper, he doesn't "work enough" to deserve a doctor. 9:40 AM • Feb 2, 2026 • 776.3K Views Tiberius @ecomarxi The International Community' that defends colonial Israel is essentially just Europe and its former colonies. Europeans just point blank refuse to accept that they cannot steal land and genocide the people living there. Chris Gloninger, CCM, CBM @ ChrisGloninger Wild how a poor person buying a $1 soda with food stamps sends you into a moral panic, but billionaires writing off private jets and yachts on their taxes? Not a peep. Your outrage is as cheap as that soda.

"Other top donors to Advance included ...businessman Rod Tunley ($246,500), David Steele ($226,500) ..."

A piece from Progressive International focused on the embeddedness of Maria Machado, Nobel Prize winner 🙄, in the #AtlasNetwork.
See what Atlas partners have been doing to Venezuela after Chavez challenged Exxon & its profits, and the neoliberal consensus.

progressive.international/wire/2025-12...
PROGRESSIVE INTERNATIONAL POLITICS Atlas Network: Disinformation as a Weapon of Neoliberalism The organization, founded in 1981, has 589 think tanks in 103 countries that finance the hatred and hoaxes of the extreme right. The objective: to protect the privileges of capital owners. Chávez's government sought not only to reduce the profits of an Atlas patron but to challenge the neoliberal consensus itself. For the destabilization operation, the network relied on Cedice, a Venezuelan think tank listed in the ranks of the Atlas Network. Well watered with U.S. funding through the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), Cedice led initiatives of all kinds in opposition to Chávez, and even Rocío Guijarro, its president, signed the decree with which the coup d'état of April 2002 was intended to be consolidated. The name of María Corina Machado appears among those attending the swearing-in of the governing board on April 12, 2002, as a result of the coup. She attended as a member of Cedice, but she would soon begin to stand out on her own. In July of that same year, she founded the civil organization Súmate, whose anti-Chávez activities received US backing from its beginning, again via NED. A document from the agency itself shows that Súmate received at least $53,400 directly from the NED in 2003. From that moment on, Machado has been an important figure within the enormous network of Atlas Network. Her name appears in virtually every disinformation campaign aimed at destabilizing Venezuela's political situation, and Atlas, in turn, has fervently promoted her in its events and publications. The connection is explicit and undeniable: in 2014, Machado publicly thanked Atlas Network for its "support and inspiration." More recently, on October 10, 2025, Atlas Network's official account on X celebrated her Nobel Peace Prize win, highlighting its "long professional relationship with Machado, who delivered a speech at the organization's annual Freedom Dinner in 2009."
