What do Chelsea Clinton, Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren's Daughter and the top management of Burisma Gas all have in common?

They all worked for the Democrat CIA front Company McKinsey & Company.

McKinsey consultants gave 27 times more money to Hillary Clinton’s campaign than to Donald Trump’s. The members of my team attended the Women’s March while serving an agency shaped by the man they marched against.

“McKinsey has also produced some of America’s most high-profile corporate executives, including:

Henrique De Castro – former Google executive and former chief operating officer of Yahoo

Etienne de Villiers – former Executive Chairman and President of the ATP Tour, former President of Walt Disney, and former chairman of BBC Worldwide

Sheryl Sandberg – COO of Facebook

Amelia Warren Tyagi — daughter of Elizabeth Warren

John Birt, Baron Birt – former director-general of the BBC (1992–2000) and special adviser to Tony Blair

Matt Brittin – Head of EMEA at Google

Shona Brown – former Google executive

Adam Cahan — Yahoo executive

James P. Gorman – chairman and CEO of Morgan Stanley

Mario Greco – CEO of Zurich Insurance Group

Stephen Green (banker) – chairman of HSBC

I add this information to show how Buttigieg worked for the same Company. Note the McKinsey affiliation for the Burisma Management.......

Oct. 21, 2013 – Burisma Holdings, Ukraine’s leading independent gas producer, is pleased to announce four key appointments as the Company enters a new period of growth and opportunity.

Alan Apter – appointed Non-executive Chairman, bringing extensive oil & gas and financial experience and expertise across Eastern Europe

Leonid Petukhov – appointed Chief Executive Officer (‘CEO’), was previously CEO of Geo Alliance for six years and has a background in management consultancy with McKinsey & Company

Denis Rudev – appointed Chief Financial Officer (‘CFO’), having previously been CFO and Investment Director of Smart Holding following a career in investment banking at Morgan Stanley and management consulting at McKinsey & Co

CIA pays McKinsey 10 million in fees for reorganisation
11 August 2015 Consultancy.uk
In a bid to improve the organisation of the CIA the foreign intelligence arm of the US has brought in the expertise of McKinsey & Company. The move comes with a hefty price tag, reportedly $10 million, and involves a broad range of strategy and management consultancy services. While the board stresses a third party perspective is needed, internal pundits are questioning the value of the money spent.

The CIA is about to enter into one of its most ambitious restructuring exercises in its history. In March Director John O. Brennan unveiled the blueprint, and the plan is set to have a massive impact on the organisation structure of the major directorates of espionage and analysis, which have been part of the agencies structure for decades.

This is definitely one of those articles/pieces of research that we all hope makes it to the Oval Office for further investigation and then is hinted at in a series of tweets.

For Godfather aficionados, you’ll remember the scene in Godfather II where Michael is counseled by his father, that whoever comes to him to make a deal with Barzini, is the rat. Tessio shows up at the funeral and is subsequently, whacked.

The President starts tweeting about this, whatever SES-type, Senator, or Representative calls him to whine about his tweets, is the rat.

McKinsey has a long list of Congressman and SES is their pockets.

Spies fear a consulting firm helped hobble U.S. intelligence

Insiders say a multimillion dollar McKinsey-fueled overhaul of the country’s intelligence community has left it less effective.

By NATASHA BERTRAND and DANIEL LIPPMAN

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/07/02/spies-intelligence-community-mckinsey-1390863

So intelligence agencies did what countless other government offices have done: They brought in a consultant. For the past four years, the powerhouse firm McKinsey and Co., has helped restructure the country’s spying bureaucracy, aiming to improve response time and smooth communication.

Instead, according to nearly a dozen current and former officials who either witnessed the restructuring firsthand or are familiar with the project, the multimillion dollar overhaul has left many within the country’s intelligence agencies demoralized and less effective.

These insiders said the efforts have hindered decision-making at key agencies — including the CIA, National Security Agency and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

They said McKinsey helped complicate a well-established linear chain of command, slowing down projects and turnaround time, and applied cookie-cutter solutions to agencies with unique cultures. In the process, numerous employees have become dismayed, saying the efforts have at best been a waste of money and, at worst, made their jobs more difficult. It’s unclear how much McKinsey was paid in that stretch, but according to news reports and people familiar with the effort, the total exceeded $10 million.

Additionally, some of McKinsey’s multimillion dollar contracts were awarded without a competitive bidding process, a move meant to speed up timelines but one that critics said enabled the consulting firm to offer formulaic fixes without fear of losing any business.

In each case, bureaucratic changes that slow response time or hamper intelligence collection capabilities could cause the loss of company secrets, private government data, the democratic process and even American lives. Already, some projects at the NSA have been cut or delayed as a result of disgruntled employees leaving the agency.

“At CIA, they shattered longstanding structural constructs that people had invested their whole careers in,” said Larry Pfeiffer, a 32-year intelligence veteran who now serves as the director of the Michael V. Hayden Center for Intelligence, Policy and International Security at George Mason University. It resulted in “a coordination nightmare” widely considered to be “very heavy-handed,” added Pfeiffer, who left government before the restructuring but remains in close contact with current officials.

Pfeiffer said he doesn’t know “a soul at CIA or NSA who would tell you that the reorganizations have made things better.”

But the firm, which even has an internal hedge fund, has also come under scrutiny in recent years for its work with authoritarian and corruption-plagued governments in China, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and South Africa. And in the U.S., activists have criticized the company’s work with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, although McKinsey has said its work at ICE does not involve implementing the Trump administration’s immigration policy. Last year, McKinsey was also awarded a multimillion dollar contract with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Bad headlines McKinsey has faced in the past year have led to “soul-searching” for some employees, according to one person who left the firm in 2017 but remains in touch with his former colleagues. “Should we be serving X client in Y country and Z country?” this person said. “Those are questions that they should be asking.”

The NSA hired McKinsey to help with a restructuring project nicknamed “NSA21,” launched in 2016 during Adm. Mike Rogers’ time leading the agency.

One outcome was to merge the agency’s offensive and defensive cybersecurity teams, a nod to the increasingly complex nature of digital threats. But the decision exacerbated simmering tensions with the private sector.

Pfeiffer said McKinsey complicated this restructuring, pushing changes that led to an overabundance of voices and perceived inefficiencies. And the reorganization made the mission more muddled, former employees said, expressing frustration with new “mission centers” that combine the traditionally separate analysts and operators.

As a result, some projects intended to make intelligence collection more effective were pushed back or put on ice altogether, The Washington Post reported last year, as disgruntled employees left the agency.

The current NSA director, Gen. Paul Nakasone, is trying to reverse some of the restructuring that has occurred in recent years, according to one former official. “It’s seen as a nod by Nakasone that the Rogers reorganization went too far,” he said.

Sorry, but this is bordering on tin foil territory.

McKinsey started in 1926

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McKinsey_%26_Company

I’ve spent a lot of time in the Management Consulting business and this is over the top. They have 27,000 employees, some of those are going to be anathema to us on the Right.

You’ve managed to do the same thing that Schiff, Comey, Brennan, Nadler,etc., did with a different target. One of the givens of the industry is that the corporation will hire into senior positions a consultant they first met on a consulting engagement and felt they were worth bringing them in-house.

And yes, they actually would hire former politicians because it would help gain government projects.

Like that’s never been done before by all sides . . .

Exactly

Dan McCready, who lost the recent interim election for US Representative in North Carolina was also former McKinsey & Company employee.

Sandberg at FB is one of the biggest do-nothings in Silicon Valley.
She spends more time promoting herself than doing her job.
Back in the 90’s she would have been fired after the first week.

Look at the total picture.

This is the common link.

Hillary, CIA, NSA, Obama, Burisma, Ukraine,......

They also started their own hedge fund resulting in insider trading accusations and corruption.

Wow, good on ya mate! Impressive research for what has become a new issue. Quite prescient of you and a great service to keeping FReepers better informed than all others.

[tired&retired]

Have you ever worked with McKinsey & Company?

There is way to much factual evidence over many years. Just the CIA, OZBAMA, Biden, Ukraine, Burisma connection alone is sufficient cause for investigation of McKinsey.

Many rumors are that Buttigieg worked for McKinsey relating to the drug trade in Afghanistan.

What do they all have in common? They suck!

McKinsey & Co. is facing a federal criminal investigation in the way the consulting firm advised bankrupt companies, theNew York Times reported, citing five unidentified people with knowledge of the matter.

Prosecutors and Justice Department officials have conducted interviews about McKinsey’s advisory role in at least two bankruptcy cases, coal producer Alpha Natural Resources Inc. and alternative energy firm SunEdison Inc., the newspaper said, citing one person who had been questioned by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Buttigieg Says McKinsey Clients Included Blue Cross, Best Buy

By Tyler Pager December 10, 2019

Pete Buttigieg on Tuesday released the names of clients that he worked for as a consultant at McKinsey & Co., a list that includes Blue Cross Blue Shield Michigan, the U.S. Postal Service and the Department of Defense.

Buttigieg also worked for Loblaw Cos., the Canadian grocer, as well as Best Buy Co., the National Resources Defense Council, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy and the Energy Foundation.

He then worked at the Department of Defense, focusing on increasing employment and entrepreneurship in Iraq and Afghanistan. As part of that work, he was based in Washington but traveled to both of those countries. His last project was for the Postal Service, based in Washington, where he worked on finding new sources of revenue.

Warren demanded that he release his McKinsey client list as the consulting firm was criticized, including by Buttigieg himself, for its work on opioids and migrant detention.

Well maybe this coincides with what Rush said yesterday that the DEEP STATE is deeper then what the average American realizes (Comey, etc are foot soldiers)

[Agamemnon]

Have you ever worked with McKinsey & Company?

My firm has worked with McKinsey's Life Sciences practice on Merger and Acquisition projects having to do with technical due diligence. They also have financial due diligence practices in a variety of disciplines.

"Blue chip" consulting firms my company has worked similarly with include Deloitte-Touche, Booz Allen Hamilton, Ernst & Young, Price Waterhouse Coopers, and Accenture -- all of which have Life Sciences advisory practices.

You have chosen to focus on government advisory practices of a single Blue chip consulting firm. Most of the other firms I mentioned also have government advisory practices.

Your inveighing against McKinsey is done far too broadly. Not all practices within the firm are populated with Deep Staters. Your criticism of McKinsey's gov't advisory practice may have some merit as you have peppered this thread with your multiple posts of evidence, but you'll have to include many other firms in your research who also have government contracts without just singling out McKinsey as the singular boogy-man Beltway-bandit through whom DeepStaters have influenced gov't policy.

FReegards!

[tired&retired]

I actually worked for one of the international consulting companies you mentioned as “”Blue chip” consulting firms my company has worked with”

I’m in total agreement that not all of McKinsey is corrupt. However, its strong affiliation with Democrats,the CIA, and corruption does not pass the smell test.

There are many articles about McKinsey & Company that disclose facts that do not portray them in a favorable light.

[tired&retired]

To the greatest extent possible,I included links for readers to go to source materials. Most, but not all, are from Main Stream Media.

This collection of articles is to help readers see the big picture and ask the correct questions necessary for their own fact based opinions.

I left out all the articles about the many top Clinton and Obama administration officials who were partners at McKinsey.

I’d hire A.T. Kearney over McKinsey but who listens to me?

I always thought of McKinsey as a stepping stone company for rich connected recent ivy league graduates.

I think you will find both political spectrums involved.
