History
Transparency International was officially established by Michael Hershman, an officer of US military intelligence. He is furthermore a Centre for International Private Enterprise director and today Head of Recruitment of FBI informants as well as Managing Director of the private intelligence service Fairfax Group.
Transparency International is first and foremost a cover for economic intelligence activities by the CIA. It is also a media tool to compel states to change their legislation to guarantee open markets.[1] In addition it is a pressure tool in regime change operations, where official enemies of the US get maximum corruption score.
UK Branch
The UK chapter of Transparency International sets out its priorities as:
- combatting corruption in the UK;
- reducing the UK’s role in fuelling corruption overseas; and,
- combatting corruption in the international defence and security sector.[2]
Acting Executive Director is Duncan Hames and 46 staff members are listed here.
Funding
Despite describing itself as an NGO, Transparency International’s funding is dominated by the governments of the United States and the European Union and their cutouts. Money sources include the US State Department, the European Commission, the US State Department’s National Endowment for Democracy (NED), Britain’s Department for International Development and the Open Society Foundations, owned by billionaire George Soros.
Other big funders are multinational companies. The London office of TI whose bankers are HSBC, get donations from the likes of Shell BV and GlaxoSmithKline with other investors in the business forum via a ‘Premium Membership’ costing up to £20,000 each that includes Barclays plc, Lloyds Bank and RBS. Others included (either now or previously) are British American Tobacco (BAT) and Price Waterhouse Coopers (PwC). BAT ended up suing PwC for $1billion for its involvement in the promotion of tax avoidance “on an industrial scale.” PwC’s accountants were also involved in the Tesco scandal – after a whistleblower at the supermarket revealed profits had been over-inflated for years.[3]

| Google News Initiative | Google and the deep state buying domination over corporate media and creating tools to censor independent voices. |
| King Baudouin Foundation | The Belgian royal family, which made its fortune from hand-chopping in the Congo and created the first stooge NGO the International African Association, feels the urge finance new ventures. Coordinates with of a number of similar foundations owned by billionaires or NATO countries , financing select projects. |
| Luminate | Pierre Omidyar's foundation for financing global media and civil society groups. It is unknown how close it coordinates with certain deep state US government agencies. |
| Norway/Ministry of Foreign Affairs | A significant donor to NGOs and planning organizations. Many of the recipients dovetail with NATO objectives like regime changes and controlling the narrative. |
| Omidyar Network | Foundation owned by the the deep state-connected billionaire Pierre Omidyar, financing preferred NGOs |
| Open Society Foundations | A NGO operating in more countries than McDonald's. It has the tendency to support politicians (at times through astroturfing) and activists that get branded as "extreme left" as its founder is billionaire and bane of the pound George Soros. This polarizing perspective causes the abnormal influence of the OSF to go somewhat unanswered. |
