I was planning to put together a summary post of the long list of Goldman Sachs employees making up the Board of Directors of the Child Mind Institute but the individual stories are so complicated that I have to break it down to a series of posts. So, for those readers who are unfamiliar with this institute and my previous posts on voat I refer you to: Oh look, connections between a co-founder of Rachel Bloom's Child Mind Institute and Jeffrey Epstein
................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The Child Mind Institute states on its website that it has no affiliations to pharmaceutical companies but a brief investigation blows that claim out of the water. This article, How Kids Are Getting Hooked on Pills for Life, indicates their association with GlaxoSmithKline and we will soon see affiliations with other big pharma companies. As they have a biological psychiatry approach to mental health that is no surprise.
Ram Sundaram, Co-Chair
Mr. Ram Sundaram has been Head of Fixed Income Currency & Commodities Latin America Trading at Goldman, Sachs & Co. since April 2012 and serves as its Global Head of Principal Funding & Investment.
Mr. Sundaram is not without controversy: The Wall Street End Game
Mr. Sundaram’s trades represented another large part of Goldman’s business with A.I.G. ACCORDING TO FIVE FORMER GOLDMAN EMPLOYEES, Mr. Sundaram used financing from other banks like Société Générale and Calyon to purchase less risky mortgage securities from competitors like Merrill Lynch and then insure the assets with A.I.G. — helping fatten the mortgage pipeline that would prove so harmful to Wall Street, investors and taxpayers. In October 2008, just after A.I.G. collapsed, Goldman made Mr. Sundaram a partner.
Next we have Arthur Altschul Jr https://www.crunchbase.com/person/arthur-altschul-jr#/entity
cofounder of Kolltan Pharmaceuticals . His partner is Joseph Schlessinger
Joseph Schlessinger is a Yugoslav-born Israeli-American biochemist and biophysician. He is chair of the Pharmacology Department at Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut,
According to wikileaks, Dr. Schlessinger has quite the history in sexual and financial misconduct: https://wikileaks.org/wiki/Talk:Yale_pharmacology_head,_Dr._Joseph_Schlessinger,_suppressed_site_exposing_sexual,_financial_misconduct,_14_Sep_2009
Further reading: Sexual harassment suit and a murder in the Yale lab
From the complaint:
[He] commented on the size of her breasts and style of her underwear…On her first day of work, she says, Schlessinger told a joke to a colleague involving penis size and watched for her response…[H]e once showed her pornography on his office computer and, another time, pulled a picture from his desk showing a naked woman without a head and told her it was his wife.
In April to May 2002, plaintiff had the responsibility to schedule a meeting between Dr. Schlessinger and the Director of the Cancer Center. Dr. Schlessinger became angry because of a decision a committee made to reject his preferred candidate for that position. When plaintiff discussed with the scheduling of a meeting, he answered, “F*** them, I am not meeting with them”. Surprised, the plaintiff responded in question form, “F*** them?”. Dr. Schlessinger responded, “I bet it would be fun to f**** you.” At this point, plaintiff became fearful and left the room.

So, Kolltan Pharmaceuticals was acquired by Celldex Therapeutics on November 1, 2016: 5 Billionaires Just Bought 3.3 Million Shares of Celldex Therapeutics

Here is a website page showing the CMI, the Yale Foundation and ICMEC all working together. http://www.fondazionechild.it/fondazione_child.php?sezione=142

PART 4
The arbitration courts themselves are a complete farce. Arbitrators are not sitting judges with public authority, as would be the case in national judicial systems, but rather a small group of corporate lawyers appointed ad hoc and prone to making business-friendly judgments. Courts meet secretly and Arbitrators have already been accused of so many incorrect applications of the law, that even those favorable to international arbitration, admit That the idea has already lost all its credibility. A public statement, signed by more than 50 law professors and other academics, demanded that the system be abolished and the right of decision returned to the national courts.
When included in bilateral investment treaties or other free trade agreements, ISDS has caused considerable damage to public policies and democracy. Some of the most notable examples include:
1) The Swedish company Vattenfall is demanding from the German government a compensation of € 3.7 billion due to the official policy of gradually reducing the use of nuclear energy as a result of the Fukushima disaster. Vattenfall had previously been successful in the city of Hamburg, as their complaints led to a loosening of the city's environmental standards.
2) In the first of many ISDS cases filed against Canada under NAFTA, a complaint by the American company Ethyl led the Canadian government to repeal the ban on the MMT fuel additive. In a later case concerning water and wood use rights, Canada was required to pay $ 122 million to the Canadian firm AbitibiBowater, a paper manufacturer with an office in the United States, and was using NAFTA to process its own government.
3) Cigarette giant Phillip Morris is suing the Australian government for billions of dollars because of the official health policy, which dictates that cigarettes should be sold in plain packaging. Phillip Morris is also suing Uruguay over official anti-smoking measures, according to which anti-smoking illustrations are expected to cover 80 percent of the surface of cigarette packs sold in the country.
4) No State was more affected by cases of ISDS than Argentina, especially due to the end of the fixed exchange policy in 2002. In October 2013, after many years of judicial battle, the Argentine government was forced to indemnify five companies In more than 500 million dollars.
5) Ecuador was ordered to pay Occidental Petroleum $ 1.77 billion - the highest amount ever paid in an ISDS case - for breaking the contract with the oil giant when it violated Ecuadorian law. However, a special court denied Ecuador a $ 19 billion compensation that was to be paid by Chevron for two decades of Amazonian forest contamination.
