"British PM Starmer apologizes for appointing Mandelson, but says diplomat lied about Epstein ties"
I like that the implicit message is that UK intelligence are terrible at their jobs
Weird bc they have a deal that allows them to share information, so the UK government had access to all the information the US government did regarding this
"UK's Starmer apologises to Epstein victims for appointing Mandelson US ambassador"
I think the victims want more than an apology, they would like justice
@ekis it is impossible to believe that any senior person in the New Labour project did not know that he was massively greedy for money and therefore obviously corruptible. They had already had to sack him for dishonesty twice.
#McSweeney in particular, as #Mandelson's protege, cannot help having been very much aware.
Mandelson was not sent to Washington despite the fact he was #corrupt. He was sent because they knew he was massively corrupt. #Trump's government runs on #corruption.

“[For Peter Mandelson] The real incentive was a post-government payday - one so big he *rejected* a $3–5m-a-year offer
And Epstein enabled that payday”

Something else Starmer has failed on....protecting our Democracy.
He's practically handing the country to ReformUK, is that part of Peter and Paedo's plan?

'Russiagate became a lib obsession, proof that Trump was a foreign asset...The Epstein case became a right-wing fixation, proof that a pedophilic cabal ran the world...Each side treated the other’s scandal as a distraction or hoax...But the 3.5 million pages released by the DoJ confirm these are in fact the same story.

Harry's Last Stand
“I will work every day to bring down Jeremy Corbyn.”
Peter Mandelson and the Social Charm of Evil
"Probably, forever, I will be tied to those first months when the world tried to survive the Covid plague.
I can’t shake the memory of that time. So many people died and were sacrificed by neoliberal governments to preserve the wealth of the 1%."

Is there really any doubt any longer that the reason #Starmer and #McSweeney appointed #Mandelson as ambassador to the #US was not in spite of the fact that they knew he was massively #corrupt but because they knew he was massively corrupt?
#Deforestation occurs against a backdrop of #crime and #corruption as exposed in the #PanamaPapers @ICIJorg. Brands #Colgate #Danone #Nestle and others buy tainted #palmoil while lying to that it is “sustainable” 🌴⛔@palmoildetect #BoycottPalmOil https://palmoildetectives.com/2022/06/26/treespiracy
Share to BlueSkyShare to TwitterThe world’s forests are being destroyed against a background of corruption, illegality and apathy. This article was originally published in The Ecologist magazine, 28th March, 2022
A complex web of financial instruments allowing crime, corruption and wrong-doing, hidden behind shell corporations and offshore companies was exposed with the release of the Panama Papers.
Indonesia has lost vast amounts of primary rainforest, behind only Brazil in scale for these losses. Some of the largest palm oil and timber companies operating in the country have disguised the extent of their operations through “shadow companies”. This means that who truly benefits from their activities is deliberately made harder or impossible to trace.
Wilmar responsible for palm oil deforestation despite supposedly using “sustainable” palm oil. The Indonesian part of the island of Papua is a “new frontier” of palm oil deforestation in the country. This is against the express wishes of local Indigenous peoples. Previous deforestation went ahead despite Indonesian government officials claiming that the permits to do so in the region were falsified.
Companies were then given permission to continue clearing the forest as long as they “fix their permits”. In other words, as long as they retrospectively got the permits they needed from the start.
However, the forests of Papua may have been handed a lifeline: the Indonesian government has just cancelled 192 deforestation permits. For the sake of people, wildlife and the climate, they need to stay cancelled.
Forests will keep being cleared with impunity without financial transparency, accountability and enforcement.
The “clear forests first, apply for permits later” approach is not limited to Indonesia. In Paraguay, a government whistleblower provided evidence that the same problem was happening there. In that case, the deforestation included the lands of the Ayoreo Totobiegosode Indigenous peoples.
The Amazon rainforest over time“One palm oil firm, Rimbunan Hijau, [Papua New Guinea] negligently ignored repeated and avoidable worker deaths and injuries on palm oil plantations, with at least 11 workers and the child of one worker losing their lives over an eight-year period.
“Tainted palm oil from Papua New Guinea plantations was sold to household name brands, all of them RSPO members including Kellogg’s, Nestlé, Colgate, Danone, Hershey’s and PZ Cussons and Reckitt Benckiser”
Read reportWhere voluntary pledges have led to environmental successes they have been partial. The Amazon soy moratorium was designed to stop companies clearing Amazonia for the crop, and it has had some impact.
The rate of soy-related deforestation in Amazonia fell by 84 percent between 2004 and 2012, as a result of the moratorium and connected policy efforts.
However, this is arguably because companies have simply been able to shift to another, less protected biome; the neighbouring Cerrado, a precious ecosystem in its own right, which is now the frontier of deforestation in South America.
Data on corporate deforestation from the supply chain mapping initiative Trase show that companies who have pledged not to cause deforestation for soy cause as much as those who have made no such commitment.
The New York Declaration on Forests from 2014 pledged to halve deforestation by 2020 and end it by 2030, yet rates of forest loss have been 41 percent higher in the years since the agreement was signed.
The impact of pledges made at COP26 to reverse and end deforestation in a decade is yet to be seen, but it is noteworthy that the Brazilian Amazon started 2022 with the fastest rate of deforestation in 14 years.
Certification schemes purporting to ensure wood and timber products also have weaknesses. The assessment bodies responsible for conferring prized sustainability certification like the Forest Stewardship Council ecolabel are paid for by the companies they audit, competing with one another for this income. This creates a “race to the bottom” as it incentivises weak auditing in order to win more business.
These certification schemes have also been found to accredit illegally felled wood, including trees from protected forests in Siberia, some of which ended up in childrens’ furniture from IKEA.
No wonder, then, that many timber firms are lobbying to be exempt from upcoming EU laws to keep the products of environmental destruction and human rights abuses out of European supply chains. They claim that certified status – demonstrated to be flawed – should be enough to allow them this exemption.
While a great deal of forestry is not connected to crime, corruption, human rights abuses and the destruction of irreplaceable nature, far too much is. All our most basic human rights depend on a sustainable environment. We cannot let it be destroyed for a handful of people to profit.
Without financial transparency, accountability, and enforcement of strong laws to protect forests, they will keep being cleared with impunity.
States must step in and pass legislation which requires robust, transparent and time-bound reductions in deforestation for companies wishing to be part of their supply chains. The future of people and the planet depends on it.

![“The paper trail should be there through the whole thing,” he said in an April 26 interview. People looking at corporate registers, he said, shouldn’t have to cross-check their search with company names in annual reports.
When The Narwhal searched for the corporate records in Delaware, it found that 2254746 Alberta Sub Ltd. was assessed on March 2, 2022, as “delinquent” for failing to pay US$386.26 in taxes or file an updated annual report.
Asked about this, the provincial commission’s chief of staff, Lynda Gwilliam, told The Narwhal in an email that the company’s taxes “were initially delayed, but have since been filed with the appropriate bodies.”
Gwilliam did not provide an explanation for the delay, but wrote that its Delaware corporate structure was nothing out of the ordinary.
“For the partnership with TC Energy to build [Keystone XL], the [Alberta Petroleum Marketing Commission] set up companies in both countries, as is a common practice in such situations,” Gwilliam wrote on April 22.
“These companies were utilized to construct the [Keystone XL] project and were in no way a ‘backup plan’ related to any subsequent NAFTA claim.”
