It's fake (or how low can you go ?)

Hey, what do you do, if you are a large company struggling against NGOs in a political fight ?

You start your own organization and claims that it's independent, open and democratic. This way you can make it look like you have wide support. Now you are not alone anymore. You have this 'friend' that you can ask for favors. The puppet will do exactly what you tell him to do. Now you only need an office on an expensive address.

Then you send letters (from this organization) to relevant political institutions about whatever you want to say, and they will believe it's from someone important.
