Now it will be necessary to fork this project, perhaps working with a valid and neutral international agency such as [[UNHCR]] which actually cares about the providing of essential survival and liability and risk information to people in simple language, and which probably has good resources for dealing with this.


All of the above are '''essential''' since not doing them leads to the wrong result, or no result (also wrong) at the [[point of purchase]].  For instance to not know who owns who can let a company that is truly horrible compete simply by creating a [[front company]].  To not have Adbusters helping to create and publicize the standard [[barcode]] we agree on, means we lose essential publicity and help from them, and their programs of anti-propaganda billboards and truth-telling.  To not include travel is to have no influence on the largest discretionary decision people usually make in a year - where to spend their [[vacation]].  The ability to check which tourism packages are best or worst with a single click or code is a huge edge for a happy future!  Letting [[no body]] convince you that [[some body]] doesn't matter, or matters less than the [[no body]] who says so, is a sure way to help no-body corporations and ideology destroy some-body apes, dolphins, forests and this planet.
