SEPP has long been close ally of GMI, except with more funding flexibility. It seems like a way to do any
sort of consulting with lower taxes, no accountability, and an impressive name.
See [HOG2009] Chapter eight, --Denial by the pound? regarding --petition science? as such petitions are
hardly new. Singer has been involved in creating such petitions since 1992, often with others listed here.
Singer has strong ties to similar organizations in Europe, especially in The Netherlands and Sweden.
