Humana People-to-People, Planet Aid, DAPP, Gaia Movement, USAgain & One World Center: all are alleged to be run by a cult called the Tvind Teachers Group.
TVIND LOSES IN COURT AGAIN. At long last, Planet Aid, Inc. v. Reveal News is completely over. See update at the end of last month's story on TvindAlert https://t.co/3WteTwkKjc
A 'SLAPP' IN PLANET AID'S FACE. 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirms dismissal of years-long libel lawsuit by Planet Aid against Reveal News & 2 of its journalists. Another win for Reveal, though it's taken 6 years & millions in legal fees to achieve. https://t.co/VIDObglqT3
THE HUNT GOES ON. Denmark’s Western High Court renews 'remand in custody' orders for 5 Tvind leaders wanted for mass tax fraud/embezzlement. High Court also rules that European arrest warrants should be issued. Tvind appeals to the country's Supreme Court. https://t.co/QrlNqbLHo5
THE GOOD FIGHT, WON. Or likely soon. After 4½ years battling multimillion-dollar libel lawsuit against Reveal News, by nonprofit used clothing reseller & U.S. federal grant recipient, Planet Aid, a federal judge dismisses the entire case with prejudice. https://t.co/pPbFffykQL
Ronja Pilgaard at DanWatch reveals Tvind's international aid organisation, Humana People-to-People, makes millions selling used clothes across Europe, but gives only 13% of that money to charity. We @tvindalert doubt they spend even THAT % on good causes. https://t.co/OPJEUkOjs9
NY AFSLØRING FRA DANWATCH
På UFFs genbrugscontainerne kan man læse, at “UFFs tøjindsamling finansierer landbrugs- og uddannelsesprojekter samt kampen mod HIV/AIDS i Afrika”.
I dag kan Danwatch afsløre, at det ikke passer.

SHOPPING WITH AMDI. Our summary of BT’s article series on Tvind, from July, with new video footage of Amdi Petersen and 2 top aides shopping at a Costco in Ensenada, Mexico. Included: lesser-known facts on Amdi's history, new developments in the Tvind saga https://t.co/HwNgKFUGwn
Danish newspaper posts video footage of Tvind cult leader, Amdi Petersen, and 2 top aides shopping at Costco in Ensenada, Mexico. The 2 are Ruth Sejerøe-Olsen & Marlene Gunst—who are Tvind's 2nd-level management, 'TG Finance', under Amdi & Kirsten Larsen. https://t.co/ucHVZowhBB
THE GOOD FIGHT. Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting: “Planet Aid’s actions in its lawsuit against Reveal are a manifest example of what deep-pocketed interests can do to a news organization even when the facts are on the journalists’ side.” (1/3)
Reveal isn’t alone. In the past, TvindAlert’s editors, too, have endured libel lawsuits brought against them by different Tvind companies. But Tvind lost all of those cases.
We hope Reveal will soon have the same outcome. (3/3)

Reveal is to be commended for standing up to corporate bully Planet Aid, Tvind’s largest used clothing collector in the U.S. Clearly, Planet Aid’s frivolous lawsuit is a desperate attempt to use litigation to silence legitimate criticisms in Reveal’s excellent reporting. (2/3)
Account of a man who in youth visited Tvind. Inaccuracy: he says no Tvind member ever convicted. Untrue: Sten Byrner convicted of fraud & given a 1-year conditional sentence in '06. Poul Jørgensen got 2½ years in jail for tax fraud & embezzlement in '09. https://t.co/HscJfA70NB
‘WE WENT THROUGH HELL’. New abuse allegations at Tvind-run school for troubled kids in UK, 1984–1998; shut down when authorities found 'serious financial impropriety' & had 'serious concerns' over 'safety & welfare' of kids. #1 https://t.co/8ZuK9bdmOu #2 https://t.co/V1sPmf8OBS :
5 TVIND LEADERS NOT 'WANTED BY INTERPOL', as media outlets — including TvindAlert — have mistakenly reported. Correction: they're wanted by *Denmark*, which in 2013 asked Interpol to list the 5 in its 'Red Notices' database. A new post clarifies matter: https://t.co/UAt2B8Lvyb
@pamfoundation In this book, the acclaimed essayist, screenwriter and novelist Gore Vidal (1925–2012) discusses "the historical events that led to the establishment of the massive military-industrial-security complex and the political culture that gave us the 'Imperial Presidency.'”
