Purpose [Public Relations Arm of Avaaz]

Avaaz: the World’s Most Powerful NGO

"Since the Reagan administration, both parties have worked overtime to privatize public wealth, and to manipulate social movements to their advantage. While it is well-known that the Wise Use Movement, Christian Coalition and the Tea Party used bigotry to advance Republican interests, little attention has been paid to social engineering by the Democrats."

"The monetization of Earth's remaining natural resources (or "natural capital," the carefully applied term that acts as a patina masking the true intent) sounds as though it is far too vile of an idea to ever be accepted by society. Yet, the elite establishment – with the non-profit industrial complex as their pimps of pathological ideologies – have every intent of seeing the commodification of Earth's remaining natural resources transform into capital, for complete corporate capture in the not-so-distant future."

Smooth Talkers: Marketing Imperial Civil Society

"With laundered funding aplenty -- available through neoliberal foundations like Clinton, Gates, Soros, Ford and Rockefeller -- Wall Street (with help from Madison Avenue) has managed to consolidate its war-making portfolio of investments, while simultaneously acquiring a controlling interest in big international NGOs.

Skirting “The Real News” [Network]

"If you're going to investigate major fraud, you might want to get real about the agenda of Avaaz, Purpose and 350. Skirting around the issue of hijacked activism that 350 represents aids Wall Street, not Main Street."

Divest-Invest Shell Game

The Divest-Invest shell game — like the COP meetings, REDD carbon market fiasco, and the Keystone XL charade — requires suspenion of disbelief (once again), and determined engagement in wishful thinking. When they begin swooning over oil tycoon heirs as their new heroes, the greens demonstrate their boundless capacity for self-delusion.

“Focus on tangible climate actions”: “Hop the Scotch” for Climate Change

"Capitalizing on this corrosion of civil society, Wall Street marketing agencies like Purpose and Avaaz -- sponsors of campaigns to support "humanitarian war" and the "new economy" -- have designed and exploited an advertising niche to make money from this social pathology."

Till the End of Time

"Social engineering by Avaaz, Purpose and 350 over the years has been exclusively focused on increasing market share for themselves. This, in turn, keeps Wall Street foundation funds flowing into their coffers. Market share, acquired through advertising (i.e. branding), has been demonstrated by these cults and PR firms to be designed to deceive consumers into believing they are making a difference when they are not."

SYRIA: Avaaz, Purpose & the Art of Selling Hate for Empire

"'You have to investigate the supply of hatred,' Glaeser continues. 'Who has the incentive and the ability to induce group hatred? This pushes us toward the crux of the model: politicians or anyone else will supply hatred when hatred is a complement to their policies.'" — The Behavioural Economics of Hatred
