Cindy McCain is World Food Programme Chief?

You really can't make this stuff up..
So, lemme try to wrap my brain around this

Cindy McCain was appointed WFP chief in April 2023
wfp.org/publications/b… Image
"Since the start of May, @WFP and @USAID
terminated food distribution in #Tigray due to “food diversion” reports, despite reports both by officials and residents of hunger and hunger-related deaths "

" Ukraine must continue to feed the world — and WFP will continue to support them. We have invested $870M+ in the local economy thru smart humanitarian aid, distributed food and cash assistance across the country & purchased 500K+ mt of grain" Cindy McCain Image
"World Food Programme chief Cindy McCain says global food supplies are facing challenges such as CLIMATE CHANGE and the prospect that the Ukraine grain deal may expire" - BBC Politics 🤔 ImageImage
Meanwhile in the UK, food distribution issues are 'coz #Brexit ImageImage
Wait, I'm confused .. Ukraine is going to feed the world yet food boxes are being sent to Ukraine to feed Ukrainians?

Someone help me out here

swissinfo.ch/eng/politics/m… ImageImage
I'm old enough to remember when Ursula von der Leyen told Germans to tighten their belts 'coz Ukraine ImageImage
And I'll remind y'all that von der Liar DELETED her sms messages with Pfizer chief

That may be significant in light of the McCain lobbyist scandal.. all those years ago..

"On February 21, 2008, in the midst of John McCain's campaign in the 2008 Republican Party presidential primaries, both The New York Times and the Washington Post published articles detailing rumors of an improper relationship between John McCain and lobbyist Vicki Iseman " Image
Vicki Iseman clients incl:

PwC, Carnival Cruise Lines (and the family trust of owner Micky Arison ), AstraZeneca ..

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicki_Ise…

Wait , what?

Micky Arison? ImageImage
Carnival Cruise Lines ?

ImageImage
Astrazeneca ?

At the time of the scandal Vicki Iseman was working for Alcalde & Fay

Kevin J. Fay, serves as the firm's President and specializes in environmental and energy affairs. Fay is also currently the executive director of the International Climate Change Partnership🤔 Image
Another April 2023 appointment:

Prof. Jean-Pascal van Ypersele (Mastodon.World) ImageImageImage
"n a Florida port authority presentation in 2011, co-founder Fay said the firm has "what has grown to be the largest maritime practice in Washington D.C.""

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcalde_a…
2017

"Alcalde & Fay lobbyist moves to Carnival Corp."

seatrade-cruise.com/news-headlines…

" Tandy Bondi - previously served as outside lobbyist for Cruise Lines International Association " Image
Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise_Li…

CLIA is also a corporate sponsor of the Mercy Ship program

> Operation Smile > Cindy McCain , board member since 2005

ImageImageImage
We'll revisit the Operation Smile rabbit hole another time

Image
In 2009, Barry Zorthian (1920-2010), most notably a senior press officer during the Vietnam war, was a communications consultant with Alcade & Fay
