McLarty Associates
McLarty Associates is a private sector diplomacy firm, at "the nexus of business and policy".
Its ambassadors, trade negotiators, White House officials, journalists, intelligence officers and think-tankers use the networks they made in public service to lobby and help clients get entry to global markets, while pushing U.S. policy objectives. At the same time, the assignments are a monetary reward from big corporations to people who were helpful while in public service.
The company "analyzes the international opportunity or problem, assess the tools available to clients, develop strategies, and execute them."
The associates are often given space in corporate media as experts, presumably on behalf of clients, to influence opinion and policy making.
The clients are over 300 clients in 112 countries, representing Fortune 200 companies with substantial global presence, but McLarty also advises many emerging companies venturing abroad for the first time. They have also worked at the local/regional level as well as with multilateral and international organizations, from the UN to the EU and APEC, to the WHO and beyond.
McLarty helps pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical devices companies establish footholds (...) supporting healthcare firms worldwide on policy issues, market access, government relations, and developing in-country partnerships.
McLarty helps agricultural companies "troubleshoot obstacles to market access" in "all levels of the agricultural supply chain, including seeds, equipment, processing, storage and distribution, and retail sales." - so presumably McLarty opens up farmers and markets to genetically modified seeds.[1]
U.S. propaganda in films
The media division of McLarty advises major film studios, directors, producers and screenwriters on issues of international interest, covering story development, authentic script content, unique location requirements, and complex production logistics. The diplomats, government officials, and intelligence experts in McLarty have been part of some of the most successful film franchises in the world: James Bond, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, Star Trek, Transformers, Jack Ryan[2], many of which are pure propaganda for US government regime change operations. The McLarty ex-spooks have also adviced "story-driven films, documentaries, and TV".[3]
