With all the changes made to search since 2015 by Google and others, the davidsouthconsulting.com website has seen its traffic diminished. As news reports have revealed, search engines and social media outlets have facilitated content in order to drive traffic and harvest data (data=profits). And there has been a flood of content intended to either deceive, stoke hatred or just get people to look ('click bait').
But, considering the website was never meant to be more than a shop window to the brand and a tool for connecting with existing and potential clients, the amount of traffic the website has received to date (plus the many citations in books, papers, and on websites), means it has far exceeded its design specifications and expectations (thank you to our graphic designer Solveig Rolfsdottir who built the website back in 2010!).
The impact of the positive, factual, high-quality resources on the davidsouthconsulting.com website (much of it work done for the United Nations), has been considerable. And it is now possible to compare that with the proliferation of so-called 'fake news' and corrupt news/influence operations (news agencies such as 'South-South News'. Read more about this case here: The Strange Saga of 'South-South News').
With the South-South News case, the UN found itself colluding with, and receiving funds from, an Interpol watch list individual involved in human and sex trafficking, among many other crimes, along with, money laundering and bribery. The attempt to establish essentially an industrial scale sex Kompromat operation in Macau (or a 'Kompromat Laundromat' if you will) (for background on how this works, read The Bro Code: Booze, Sex, and the Dark Art of Dealmaking in China by James Palmer, China File, February 4, 2015) - called by a former UN official in charge of the organisation's anti-human trafficking work a world centre of modern human slave trafficking - masquerading as a US $3 billion new UN Asia facility - a "Geneva of Asia" - ranks as a new low point for the organization. Apart from the actual arrests and jail sentences, the poor judgement made by the UN to back such an entity can only now be seen in the context of the court case revelations, confessions, and convictions, which all centered on a deliberate attempt to bribe officials and launder money. It seems this particular operation had a Caribbean focus for money laundering out of China: Macau is a known conduit for expatriating money from China; the Caribbean is well known as a destination for laundered funds.
