Topic: Avaaz

Adam Curry investigates the organizations behind the People's Climate March, specifically focusing on "Purpose.com" and "Avaaz." He describes a sophisticated business model where for-profit B-corps and non-profit 501(c)(4) agencies work together to launch social movements. Curry argues these movements are funded by major foundations like Rockefeller to serve corporate interests under the guise of grassroots activism.

The organization Avaaz and its CEO Ricken Patel are scrutinized for their role in smuggling telecommunications equipment and journalists into Syria. Tax filings reveal that Avaaz is a 501(c)(4) funded by groups like the Clinton Foundation and MoveOn.org. The hosts characterize Patel as a "shill" for globalist interests, using humanitarian activism as a front for geopolitical maneuvering.
