Just what is the Tony Blair Institute up to?
I suppose the short answer is: whatever Tony Blair wants it to get up to.
Given that our government hasn't been working for true representatives of the people probably beyond living memory, somebody must be guiding it from behind the scenes, and secretive organisations copiously funded by dubious oligarchs might today seem prime candidates.
OK, so the TBI has been operational (at least in current form) for only nine years (according to #together).
"The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change ... was set up in 2016, absorbing the Tony Blair Faith Foundation ... which was supposed 'to educate, inform and develop understanding' about different religions"
to this:
"We help governments and leaders get things done ... by advising on strategy, policy and delivery, unlocking the power of technology across all three"
That's quite a jump from promoting understanding of religious faiths - unless we consider that the true objective of religions was actually to exert a measure of control over the broad population ... which, bearing in mind that Christianity was first defined by the Council of Nicea at the behest of Emperor Constantine, and went on under the Vatican to control the Crowned Heads of Europe for centuries, may not be too far from the truth.
It does rather beg the question - what kind of "change" does the TBI have in mind? Any kind of change that his client governments have set their hearts on?
Or something more specific? If so, why not say so?
Why not, to pick an example not entirely at random, "the Tony Blair Institute for the Establishment of the New World Order", if that is what it is?
How would we know? Follow the money ...
#together brings us up to date on the latest situation.
