Reply #6: Seems so to me [View All]

This is a an old general article about Arthur Andersen and the business consulting they did, they were a lot more than accountants. There's other articles about them being very involved in "emerging markets", one specifically about Ukraine back in 1996.

This is straight from the Accenture web site and bold-faced says "On Jan. 1, 2001, the company changed its name to Accenture (from Andersen Consulting) as the result of an arbitrator’s decision in August 2000 that severed the contractual ties between Accenture and Andersen Worldwide Société Coopérative (AWSC). Accenture then launched one of the largest and most successful re-branding campaigns in corporate history."

So that's the way I read it. As bad as the black hole and the suffering of all those people, this makes me just as sick and has bugged me every since I first read about way back when it was happening. I think Accenture is involved in voting machinery too. Worldcom did it too. Worldcom bought MCI, then when Worldcom went bankrupt, they just went back to using MCI and have huge govt contracts in Iraq.

Wouldn't it be great if you and I could arrange our lives like that?
