The charity/NGO sector is in serious need of an overhaul worldwide.I have had dealings with the charity sector in the UK, which is is desperate need of a rethink, though politically you would be mad to kick that hornets nest.
These are my observations:
1. There is a high rate of observable narcissism and sociopathy among charity CEOs. It makes sense when you consider that rank and file charity workers are generally caring and somewhat selfless individuals, and are therefore easily exploited. Oversight in small/medium-sized charities is minimal and advisory boards, that have no direct insight into the running of an organisation, can be misled, manipulated, or may even be complicit in wrongdoing.
2. A common trap that charities fall into is losing sight of their cause and focusing more on their own survival. I once saw a charity break a law that they had vociferously campaigned for, weeks after it came into effect, in order to gain an advantage over a rival charity that was operating in the same sector.
Often they are parasitic associations who gravitate towards any sort of "humanitarian aid" cashflow and suck it dry to the benefit of nobody but their trustees.
There are organisations that follow in the wake of war like vultures, and are as invested in the perpetuation of conflict as arms dealers.
Just after the war in (then) Yugoslavia back in 1992 a former lecturer at the university of Belgrade saw this travesty in action and wrote two very incisive essays which he published on his website.
One was called "The Expat Experts", the second "War in the Service of Humanitarianism". I can't remember his name and cannot find them anywhere online any more, which is a pity. I've read a lot on the subject since then, but nothing as clear.
Breslow quit his role this week after it emerged that he had given a presentation at an event for B4U-ACT, an American group that promotes services “for self-identified individuals . . . who are sexually attracted to children”.
Is this a new(ish) organisation? This is the first time I've heard of them. I wonder what they do besides give "TED talks".
The only paedophile club I really know anything about is NAMBLA. There was an attempt at creating a "companion site" for female paedos in about 2002 which got busted, I think for distributing CP. IIRC that lot were called "Butterfly Girls" and their website was even more revolting than NAMBLA's (for the few weeks it existed).
