			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a challenge for a smart tax investigator, investigative journalist or forensic accountant.     In addition to its old-clothes collection &#8217;CHARITIES&#8217; and clothes drop-in boxes labelled Humana, Planet Aid and Gaia, the Tvind Teachers Group owns and operates its own COMMERCIAL used-clothes broker, Garson &amp; Shaw Inc, in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.     Garson &amp; Shaw gets a hefty cut every time it moves some of those charity clothes on behalf of  Humana or Planet Aid, so the Teachers Group makes a tidy profit there (and less money for genuine charity).</p>
<p>So what is Garson &amp; Shaw up to now, opening offices and apparently ferrying old clothes and shoes around the world between the USA, Canada, Belize, the Bahamas and Nicaragua?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Controversial door-to-door HIV testing in Zimbabwe gets Mugabe&#8217;s approval, but who are the volunteers set to do it?  The programme is being run by a group called TCE (&#8220;Total Contol of the Epidemic&#8221;) which is a subsidiary of the Tvind Teachers Group/Humana People-to-People.  I just wonder who&#8217;s paying for the equipment transport and expenses, and whether some outside donor knows who they&#8217;re involved with &#8211; and have they checked the accounts?</p>
<p><a href="http://tumfweko.com/2012/01/19/mugabe-orders-door-to-door-hiv-testing-for-zimbabweans/comment-page-1/#comment-71200">http://tumfweko.com/2012/01/19/mugabe-orders-door-to-door-hiv-testing-for-zimbabweans/comment-page-1/#comment-71200</a></p>
<p>And look at this comment posted on the article (and not by us):</p>
<p><em>Former volunteer of TCE NGO</em></p>
<p><em>January 20, 2012 at 5:38 pm</em></p>
<p><em>Unbelievable (but totally predictable) that an ‘NGO’ (that is completely 110% FOR profit) as corrupt as Total Control of the Epidemic (TCE) and Mugabe are so intertwined in the Empire they’re creating.</em></p>
<p><em>I worked in these countries doing VCT for TCE and most if not all these volunteers (who you’re right will not ever be properly remunerated) are not properly trained to give an HIV+ diagnosis.</em></p>
<p><em>If anything, this is a cautionary tale to Zimbabwean residents to beware of the capabilities that could unfold in a country with those 2 entities/empires in power.</em></p>
<p>We&#8217;d like <em>Former volunteer of TCE NGO</em> to get in touch please!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>IS THE TEACHERS GROUP A CULT?</strong></p>
<p>According to the leading academic historian of the Teachers Group at Copenhagen University, Jes Fabricius Møller, <a href="http://www.staff.hum.ku.dk/jesfab/abouttvind.htm" target="_blank">&#8216;the answer must be yes&#8217;</a>.  This opinion is shared by many observers and cult watchdog organisations around the world.</p>
<p>The five characteristics the Teachers Group shares with better known cults (such as the Moonies or Scientology) are said to include:</p>
<p>1  It uses psychological coercion to recruit, indoctrinate and retain its members</p>
<p>2  It forms an elitist totalitarian society</p>
<p>3  Its founder leader is self-appointed, dogmatic, messianic, not accountable and has charisma</p>
<p>4  It believes &#8216;the end justifies the means&#8217; in order to solicit funds and recruit people</p>
<p>5  Its wealth does not benefit its members or society.</p>
<p>(Source:  The Cult Information Centre, UK)</p>
<p>In December 1995 an official French parliamentary Board of Enquiry into Cults (<em>Commission D’Enquête sur les Sectes</em>) named <strong>Humana France</strong> as a cult. The report, <em><a href="http://www.cftf.com/french/Les_Sectes_en_France/cults.html#debut" target="_blank">Les Sectes en France </a></em>(Cults in France) was presented to the French National Assembly on 20th December 1995. Humana France was absent from France for many years, but has since returned.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Fact File: Humana&#8217;s Hot Money</strong></p>
<p>by Michael Durham</p>
<p><strong><em>Humana People-to-People claims to be a charity, but is really part of a hugely profitable offshore corporation. Its sister ‘humanitarian’ initiatives, Planet Aid, Gaia and U’SAgain, are part of the same &#8216;hot money&#8217; network. Here&#8217;s the story:</em></strong></p>
<p>It all started as a dream of a more equal world. But by the 1980s the trail of ‘hot money’ was already under way.</p>
<p>The first offshore account was in Grand Cayman. In around 1983, a small group of Danish nationals arrived on the Caribbean island, 150 miles south of Cuba, weighted down with cash. They were seen carrying suitcases of dollars into a local bank, on a tax haven island already notorious for illegal ‘hot money’. Within months, there was enough cash to buy a farm and a luxury beachside villa, with a swimming pool, a fleet of Mercedes cars parked outside, and boats at anchor in the bay.</p>
<p>Who were these wealthy Danes? Where did the money come from? They were not in business – in fact they were self-styled left-wing revolutionaries. They were among the founders of an ‘educational’ movement with global ambitions – which has since become Humana People-to-People&#8230;&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 2001 the Danish government sought help from the U. S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) with investigating Tvind, identifying assets and properties held in the USA, and locating Amdi Pedersen.  Tvind Alert was recently sent a copy of the FBI file on Tvind (from 2002), which specifically names Planet Aid and IICD as operations in the USA.  Also mentioned are money laundering methods, teachers salaries, used clothing collections, Charity Fraud, Florida properties owned by Chilton Intervest, off shore accounts, and the British government’s actions against Humana in the UK.</p>
<p>The file boldly states, “Humana People To People runs 152 projects in 26 countries in Europe, Asia, United States, and Africa. In each of these organizations the funds are ultimately controlled by captioned subjects who divert the money for personal use. Little to no money goes to the charities.”</p>
<p>Tvind Alert’s website at that time, www.tvindalert.org.uk, was mentioned as an open source of background information on Tvind. Included were several pages from the site! Though we are pleased information was used to help with the FBI’s investigation on Tvind, we can not help but wonder why the FBI’s findings were not shared with other US government agencies, specifically USDA and USAID. These agencies have donated millions of dollars to Planet Aid and other HPP members. Millions more in used clothing has been donated to Planet Aid and the other Tvind clothing collection operations in the USA and Canada.</p>
<p>In the USA, Tvind currently runs 3 non-profits, 2 schools, and 9 for-profit companies. Since 1999, these operations have collectively earned over $300 million from used clothing, student tuition, and government grants.</p>
