Joining us today is Ben Pile of The Net Zero #Scandal and #Climate #Debate. We discuss his recent article, “ #Behavioural #Scientists Aren’t Just Wrong About #How to Win Over Electorates to Crackpot Progressive Policies; Their Evident #Contempt for the #Masses Has Contributed to the Global Populist Revolt” and what it tells us about the out of touch elitists of the globalist #technocratic jet set . . . and #why they are losing the #war for the #public’s hearts and #minds.

KPMG Corporate Anthem

The anthem that KPMG doesn't want you to hear

They first came on my radar in 2001 when they sent a legal threat to a blogger for linking to their website without permission

The actual link was to KPMG's corporate anthem, which remains, to this day, a banger

The time is now to lead the way,
We share the same the idea
That may win by the end of the day.
Our strength is here to stay.
Identity, one energy,
One strategy, with sympathy.
These are the words that will lead us into a new world.

more about KPMG from Cory's blog

They're the architects of Microsoft's tax-evasion plot:

And they were behind Canada's dysfunctional covid contact-tracing app, which never worked, but generated tens of millions in billings to the government of Canada, who used KPMG to hire programmers at $1,500/day, plus KPMG's 30% commission:

KPMG's most bizarre scandal is literally stranger than fiction. The company bribed SEC personnel help its own accountants cheat on ethics exams. The corrupt officials were then given high-paid jobs at KPMG:

But all of that is just scene-setting (and a gratuitous plug for my book) for the latest KPMG scandal, which is, possibly, the most KPMG scandal of all KPMG scandals. The Australian government hired KPMG to audit Paladin, a security contractor that oversees the asylum seekers the country locks up on one of its island gulags (yes, gulags, plural).\
\
Ever since, Paladin has been the subject of a string of ghastly human rights scandals – the worst stuff imaginable, rape and torture and murder of adults and children. Paladin made AU423 million on this contract.\
\
And here's the scandal: KPMG audited the wrong company. The Paladin that the Australia government paid KPMG to audit was based in Singapore. The Paladin that KPMG audited was a totally different company, based in Papua New Guinea, who already had a commercial relationship with KPMG. It was this colossal fuckup that led to the manifestly unfit Singaporean company getting nearly half a billion dollars in public funds:

Pressure on Orban grows amid child sex abuse scandal

Hungarian opposition leaders gathered in front of the prime minister's office on Feb. 15, denouncing Orban's silence on the issue and saying it indicated deeper structural problems within Fidesz.

"Orban's regime has fallen into a moral and political crisis," said Andras Fekete-Gyor of the opposition Momentum party.

As the backlash has grown, the scandal has expanded beyond the controversial pardon into direct criticism of Orban's government and associated #cronyism and corruption.

Former Orban ally and Varga's ex-husband, Peter Magyar, released a widely viewed video on Facebook on Feb. 11 denouncing corruption in #Fidesz and across Hungary.

"It must be said now that this cannot go on," Magyar said, rhetorically questioning whether Hungarians think it is "normal" that "a few families own half the country."

When the #NewYorkTimes lost its way

America’s media should do more to equip readers to #think for themselves

source: https://www.economist.com/1843/2023/12/14/when-the-new-york-times-lost-its-way

Whether or not American democracy endures, a central question historians are sure to ask about this era is why America came to elect Donald Trump, promoting him from a symptom of the country’s institutional, political and social degradation to its agent-in-chief

...

It is hard to imagine a path back to saner American politics that does not traverse a common ground of shared fact

...

A #journalism that starts out assuming it knows the answers can be far less valuable to the reader than a journalism that starts out with a humbling #awareness that it knows nothing

...

Even columnists with impeccable leftist bona fides recoiled from tackling subjects when their point of view might depart from progressive orthodoxy

...

Illiberal journalists are not out to achieve social justice as the knock-on effect of pursuing truth; they want to pursue it head-on. The term “objectivity” to them is code for ignoring the poor and weak and cosying up to power

The United States before the 2024 #election

Many are asking me before the US elections in 2024 why Donald #Trump might win the presidency again - despite numerous scandals, his announcement to use the presidency for political retaliation and shocking eye witness accounts from this #administration.

But what is the answer and would Trump's re-election as #president be the end of #democracy?

#Glyphosate, a herbicide extensively employed in modern agriculture, has become the focal point of a growing controversy due to its potential hazards to the human body. While its usage is widespread across the globe to combat weeds, mounting scientific evidence suggests that glyphosate may have adverse effects on human health. #scandal #health https://activite-paranormale.net/news/read/18741/the-dangers-of-glyphosate-for-the-human-body

Why isn't #Twitter (X) dead yet? #ElonMusk has done everything he can to bury the #platform, hasn't he?

In my opinion, it's the journalists who are treated like dirt (💩) by #Musk but just can't let go of the platform.

That's partly because they prefer to make headlines with #clickbait and scandals and still link diligently on Twitter. In this way, they give the platform relevance in the media and make Musk's rants seem like important discourse. On the other hand, it is because the average journalist is apparently too incompetent to discover new platforms for himself.

I'm probably doing an injustice to the little journalist who is just trying to make ends meet somehow. But it's amazing that the big publishers are so inflexible or have made themselves so dependent on Twitter that they can't or won't switch.

The #Kissing #Scandal After #Spain’s #Women’s World Cup Win

Attitudes are changing. You could see it in the course of the week—how standing ovations turned into critical statements, how #Hermoso herself at first uncomfortably laughed the #kiss off, before acknowledging that it was demeaning and disrespectful, at the very moment the women should have been celebrated for their #triumph.
