Cummins thinks it can buy its way out of every scandal.
A ten‑figure cheque to the EPA is just pocket change next to the billions poured into Accelera – its glossy green arm designed to obscure ongoing diesel profiteering. Class‑action settlements, discrimination claims, emissions fines – all tidy sums compared to what really shields the core business.
They pay. They distract. They deny.
- Environment – throw money at green PR via Accelera, and hope no one notices the diesel smoke
- Discrimination – deploy high‑priced barristers to reframe a disabled victim as the problem
- Emissions cheating – pay the fines, skip the apology
- A noisy ex‑employee – roll out polished, hollow PR videos and hope the noise buries the signal
But every fortress has its breach. And Cummins’ breach is me – and, alongside Oscar (sometimes), TCAP.
I was a production‑line worker – hands greased in diesel, mind bruised by mental‑health strain. Dismissed for raising my voice, stripped of livelihood but not resolve.
Now my evidence ripples through boardrooms as uneasy glances. It unsettles investors tracking share‑price wobble. It outranks their polished press releases in every search for “Cummins Confidential.”
This is TCAP – indelible, relentless.
Like an outlaw signal that can’t be jammed, it’s etched into the digital airwaves.
You’re watching legacy in real time. They can litigate, spin fresh greenwashing, splash cash on Accelera’s next big promise – but they can’t erase what’s already exposed, or what’s still to come.
TCAP is building. Expanding. Locking in the infrastructure so it can’t be deleted – even if I wanted it to be. Think The Pirate Bay, mirrored beyond the reach of even governments. That’s not an overnight job. But the payoff, when it crosses the line, will be worth every keystroke.
Try buying your way out of that.
