Robert Mercer's family, among President Trump’s most powerful donors, in 2016 gave nearly $4 million to groups that challenge the scientific consensus on man-made climate change, tax filings reveal. Gave to: CO2 Coalition, the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change, Kert Davies, founder and director of the Climate Investigations Center (CIC). These donations, which have not been previously reported, were on top of about $4m that the Mercer family donated to groups that, although not solely focused on climate, do deny man-made climate change or oppose govt action on curbing carbon emissions, including: the Media Research Center ($2 million), the Heartland Institute ($800,000), the Heritage Foundation ($500,000), the Cato Institute ($300,000), the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research ($200,000), and the Oregon Institute for Science and Medicine ($200,000). Trump's deregulation was cheered by the Heartland Institute. Cato Institute, the CO2 Coalition received $132,000 from the Sarah Scaife Foundation, as well as $50,000 from each of several groups: the Searle Freedom Trust, the Thomas W. Smith Foundation, the Lynde & Harry Bradley Foundation, and the Achelis and Bodman Foundation. BuzzFeed News, Zahra Hirji

  • Sept.19.2005: You Can't Handle the Truth - Psy-ops propaganda goes mainstream. The government faces a dilemma: It needs people to stay home, but if the news breaks, mass panic might ensue as people flee the city, carrying the virus with them. A shadowy media firm steps in to help orchestrate a sophisticated campaign of mass deception. Rather than alert the public to the smallpox threat, the company sets up a high-tech "ops center" to convince the public that an accident at a chemical plant threatens London. As the fictitious toxic cloud approaches the city, TV news outlets are provided graphic visuals charting the path of the invisible toxins. Londoners stay indoors, glued to the telly, convinced that even a short walk into the streets could be fatal. (originally published on Slate) Strategic Communication Laboratories, Sharon Weinberger
