The “Government” of Myanmar has made a tourism ad, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative 🇲🇲

#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar This HGA features a very special guest: her name is Ingyin Hlaing Hlaing and she's a refugee from the 2021 military coup. If you know about the conflict in Myanmar, you know how brave it is of her to front this video. And if you don't this HGA should fill you in, in under 5min

The Australien Government has made an ad about its carbon credits and offsets scheme, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative!

👉 We're on Patreon: patreon.com/TheJuiceMedia Today Morrison announced the election. But whoever wins it will inherit this shit-buffet (my collective term for the Emission Reduction Fund, Clean Energy Regulator + ERAC) so unless they hold a full inquiry into it, we will continue to be fed said shit-buffet post-election...

One of our Patrons sent me a tearful email just before Christmas. She didn't want to go to the media. So I said I'd share her story here. 🧵 "I flew down from Brisbane on Friday to attend the funeral of my mother in law (which had to be postponed almost 5 months bc of COVID and the different restrictions between each state). We did a PCR test (as required to re-enter QLD) on Mon as we were supposed to fly back on Weds

The Government™ has made an ad about Net Zero by 2050, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

✨ Feat. @GretaThunberg

👉 We're on Patreon: patreon.com/thejuicemedia When I heard @GretaThunberg say she wants Governments to be Honest about the climate crisis, it dawned on me - hey, I make this series called Honest Government Ads... maybe I can help here. So I wrote this HGA. And then I asked Greta if she'd be in it. So here we are 💛 Giordano

The Australien Government has made an ad about Carbon Capture and Storage, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. #CCS This one’s part of our Climate Shitfuckery series in which we picking off each of our government’s (and many governments’) solutions for taking as little serious action as possible on the climate crisis.

The Australien Government has made an ad about its hotel quarantine and vaccines policies, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

And here's a thread to go with it... 🧵 I've avoided making a video about our Govt's handling of the pandemic for the past year - for a couple of reasons, one being that so much is already being said about it. But with the Delta outbreak in NSW verging on being out of control...

The Australien Government has made an ad about how it makes everything good, shit - and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Produced by our Patrons
patreon.com/thejuicemedia Not many people have heard of #GISERA - the alliance between five of Australia's biggest gas/fracking companies, and the #CSIRO, our trusted and beloved science agency.

But hopefully that's about to change now (*checks views on the YouTube video*)

The Australien Government has made an ad about Australian Values for people applying for citizenship, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

🚨 Content warning: references to sexual assault.

#EnoughIsEnough What to say... I usually like to focus on a specific issue or policy so we can help people get their head around it. But then there's times when it feels we need an Honest Government Ad that attempts to sum up the shitfuckery - and this definitely feels like one of those times..

The Australien Government has made an ad about the new media legislation it just passed, and it's surprisingly honest and informative! Our Government just passed a new law, the News Media Bargaining Code, that fundamentally alters the relationship between Big Media & Big tech, so I thought we could do with an Honest Government Ad about it. Especially since other Govts are sure to try and emulate it... 🌎🌍🌏

The Australien Government wasn't allowed to speak at the latest Climate Summit – so it made an ad about its climate policy instead, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Produced by Patrons of the Juice Media
👉 patreon.com/TheJuiceMedia This is a special double-length Honest Government Ad, featuring our first ever time-travel sequence because there's just so much shitfuckery to cover ✨

The US Government has made an ad about QAnon and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. 🐇 Friends, here’s our latest Honest Government Ad. I haven't seen any satire about #QAnon. It’s ripe for being satirised. But as always I'm not here just to have a lol, I wanted to also offer an analysis that might help some of those who've been sucked into the rabbit's rectum 🐇

Today the case to extradite Assange resumes - the most brazen and consequential assault on the press of our lifetimes: a Govt is prosecuting a publisher for exposing it's crimes. Many have asked us to make a new Honest Government Ad about it, but this one is sadly still current None of the criminals behind the murderous war in Iraq and Agfhanistan have been so much as prosecuted, let alone punished. But the publisher who exposed their cimes is facing a lifetime in jail. (Are you comfortable with that?)

The US Government has made an ad about its response to the pandemic, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. 🇺🇸 We've had so many Americans begging us to make an Honest Government Ad for their government.

Me: Why do you fight?

Naomi Klein: it's a cauldron of forces that keep me going, of emotions. Not to be too witchy about it. You heard a little of the rage that keeps me going. But it's also fear... (Thread)

(transcribing bc @NaomiAKlein's final words in our interview are 💛🔥) "I fear for the world that we've created unless we change course. I fear for my son & his friends. And all of us: it's not just the kids we have to worry about

The Government™ has made an ad about the global response to the pandemic, and it's surprisingly honest and informative 🌏📺

👉 We're on Patreon: patreon.com/thejuicemedia This is a follow-up to our previous Honest Government Ad about the Coronavirus. Thanks to the shitloads of people who shared it: I think it helped raise awareness about flattening the curve at the most critical time.

The Government has made an ad about the Coronavirus and its surprisingly honest and informative 🌍🦠

👉 Spread the message not the virus: #FlattenTheCurve I wasn't planning on making an Honest Government Ad about the Corona virus, I was already working on something else, but a few days ago it became glaringly obvious that we needed to make this video.

Because it's a shitshow...

Here's our latest Honest Government Ad - and it’s a BIG one. The "Avengers EndGame" of Honest Government Ads. #auspol #AusVotes19

VIDEO: I was originally planning to make quick/fast videos about various election issues. But a couple of weeks ago I decided on a different approach... Coz there’s already enough “noise” in the pre-election media and we all get caught up in the minutiae and forget the bigger picture...

Why do so many people seem to think this is a clever argument or analogy? It's such a stupid strawman. Lets break this bullshit down... 1/ 👉 People are not calling for a *boycott* of fossil-fuels, but a *transition* away from them over a period of time. If I said "boycott Monsanto" you'd be quite right to call me a hypocrite for spraying Round-Up on my garden. But boycott is not what people are demanding...
