The oligarchs behind the “humanitarian” regime change network now exploiting Jo Cox’s death to push for UK Labour split
Only
by masking their otherwise unpopular policies in the cloak of Jo
Cox’s tragedy, and humanity’s natural empathy for good samaritans
and the downtrodden, has this small group of powerful individuals
been able to launder disastrous wars and military adventurism as “the
right thing to do.”

Part
6 - UN Foundation, Concordia Summit and the White Helmets
Three
months after Jo Cox’s murder in September 2016, two of the Jo Cox
Fund originators — Tim Dixon of Purpose and Nick Grono, CEO of the
Freedom Fund — took part in the annual Concordia Summit. Dixon was
a key participant in the Private Sector Forum on Migration and
Refugees, with a focus on the Purpose-”incubated” refugee and
migration hub. Their Objective? To change hearts and minds in Europe
in relation to the refugee “crisis” — a Syria-centric “crisis”
that has been largely manufactured and sensationalized with the aim
of criminalizing the Syrian government.
The
reality is that Syrian refugees are returning to Syria as vast swaths
of Syrian territory is liberated from Western-backed terrorist
occupation.
Brendan
Cox was also a speaker at the 2016 event, as were many other
supporters of U.S. Coalition intervention in Syria: Lina Attar, of
the Karam Foundation; President and CEO of International Rescue
Committee, David Miliband; Lara Setrakian of News Deeply, a
“rebel”-partisan media outlet funded by Ayman Asfari; George
Soros; Johannes Hahn, EU Commissioner; and Hans Vestberg, UN
Foundation board member — to name a few.
This is
taken from the Purpose website in 2015: “Purpose is proud to
have served as a first time programming partner for the 2015
Concordia Summit. Now in its fifth year, the Summit convenes the
world’s preeminent thought leaders and decision makers to address
the most pressing global challenges by highlighting the potential
that effective cross-sector collaboration can have in creating a more
prosperous and sustainable future.”
Jeremy
Heimans, the co-founder and CEO of Purpose, spoke at this event.
Their session, “Introducing: New Power in a Multi-stakeholder
World,” featured an exciting line-up of speakers, each pioneering
change in their respective industries in innovative ways. The focus
was on the “civil society” sectors and their ability to implement
transformation via peer-driven participation campaigns. Tapping into
global energy and human agency was order of the day. One of the
panelists, Scott Heiferman, promoted his model “Meet Up,” which
harnesses the power of people-to-people networking: “How can you
empower people to turn to each other – how can you unlock that most
beautiful phenomenon?”
Jeremy
Heimans is also co-founder of an organization, Avaaz, that “unlocks
that phenomenon” and harnesses the power of peer participation
in influencing public opinion — particularly on Syria, as covered
previously in our series of articles.
True to
form, Purpose produced a report in May 2017, “Understanding the
Conflicted Middle: European Public Opinion towards Refugees,”
shifting hearts and minds on refugees and migrants in Europe. While
this report presented a number of symptoms and remedies, it does not
investigate the root cause of the global refugee crisis, which is
due, to a great extent, to the U.S. policy of military intervention
globally that results in the mass exodus of peoples from war-torn
nations into Europe. There, these refugees are weaponized to
manufacture consent for further Western military intervention by
organizations that claim to be protecting their interests.
Concordia’s
annual report in 2016 described this summit as the “largest and
most ambitious event to date, bringing together over 2000 thought
leaders from across sectors, including General David Petraeus and
former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright … and philanthropist
George Soros.”
Albright
rose to notoriety with her dismissal of the deaths of hundreds of
thousands of Iraqi children as being “worth it” when the U.S.
imposed punishing and lethal economic sanctions on Iraq leading up to
the first Iraq war in 1991 — sanctions that have, in part,
persisted until today.
The
Concordia Summit was established in 2011, just as the questionable
“Arab Spring” was causing shock waves across the Middle East
region. It was designed as an establishment intersection, a hub of
global elite influencers and transformers. Cory Morningstar, an
expert on the “smart power” complex, noted that the Concordia
Summit was modelled on the success of initiatives such as the Wall
Street Journal CEO Council and the Clinton Global Initiative: “Mathew
Swifte (Chairman and CEO) and Nicholas Logothetis founded the
Concordia Summit in February 2011 […] Swifte studied under global
‘leaders’ such as former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright..”
The 2018
Concordia Summit just took place in September at the Grand Hyatt, New
York, describing itself as “The largest and most inclusive
nonpartisan forum alongside the United Nations General Assembly.”
The line-up of soft-power magnates and establishment political and
capitalist moguls was impressive. The summit featured the
cross-fertilization of influencers, decision-makers and
opinion-formers across a multitude of sectors, who came together to
ensure the “next generation of partnership-builders” would
be shaped in their image with their agenda indelibly imprinted upon
the future. In its own language, from the Concordia Annual Summit
2018 overview: “The 2018 Concordia Annual Summit will provide a
powerful forum to catalyze action through shared value approaches and
social impact objectives.”
In 2018,
UNHCR (the UN Refugee Agency) joined forces with Concordia as a
“programming partner.” This was not the first time they had
collaborated. In 2016, UNHCR also took a central role at the
Concordia Summit. In the words of Matthew Swift, co-founder,
chairman, and CEO of Concordia: “The mission of UNHCR is truly
one of the core values of Concordia’s work. The commitment to
ensuring that everybody has the right to seek asylum and find safe
refuge, having fled violence, persecution, war or disaster at home is
a subject we’ve heavily focused on in the past, and we look forward
to continuing these calls to action at the 2018 Concordia Annual
Summit.”
Other
“programming partners” in 2018 included the NATO-aligned
think-tank, the Atlantic Council; the George W. Bush Institute; Open
Society Foundation; U.S Chamber of Commerce; U.S State Department
(Secretary’s Office of Global Partnerships); U.S Global Leadership
Coalition; and the Wilson Center, a Washington-based global issues
research center. The Concordia Annual Summit appears to be a thinly
disguised cartel established to promote U.S private- and
public-sector interests far into the future, with potentially
devastating consequences for the countries where such policies will
be implemented by the world’s elite “philanthro-capitalists.”
Perhaps
more remarkable is how Concordia gathers together so many of the
players in the decades-long campaign to destabilize Syria and topple
its elected government from power. Players who would capitalize upon
the assassination of Jo Cox to appropriate public funds and direct
them into financing elements of the regime-change project in Syria
such as the Al Qaeda-linked White Helmets.
