The thing that's MOST unbelievable is that a company so well-known for being able to cleanse the image of the most evil and ruthless operations has been unable to do a damn thing to help Highland/Baupost's image. Nothing that H and K has done so far has been effective in making Highland/Baupost looke like anything more than a bunch of hapless, dishonest goofs with a greedy and destructive agenda. Even for Hill and Knowlton, Highland/Baupost presents a challenge...
If I were a company or country with a big PR problem, the last thing I would is hire HoB&K-that just signifies how big my PR problem is......tee hee....
From the H & K article "It promotes an agenda of "sustained involvement" and "engagement," particularly economic, with tyrannical governments, in order to further democracy around the world. It underscores the message with appeals to the need for a strong American economy."
Hate to say this guys, but what is really shocking, is this is the exact policy Steven Harper uses to justify trade with countries like China...I believe he calls it "effective influence"...and it is being taught to our kids in grade 10 history as "the way to go." (At least my son was taught it.) Most of us just have no idea the shit that goes on in our names. If we dug deep enough we would be physically ill.
Unbelievable, but then what did I really expect from The Baupost and Highlands.
