Wikispooks Comment

This is a wiki-text rendering of the ISGP website archive index page. The original ISGP site was de-commissioned, so-to-speak, in the autumn of 2010 and archived on the Wikispooks server. It's author, Joël van der Reijden, has continued his research and has since provided a number of hitherto unpublished documents for addition to the archive. This article is an overview of a proposed new "Three Establishments Model" of Western covert politics. It contains startling evidence of new names and connections:

• The Liberal Establishment - Demonstrates the pervasive influence of Henry Kissinger and George Schultz in many controversial events. This establishment is dominated by Pilgrims Society members, which include Henry Kissinger, George Shultz, David Rockefeller, Zbigniew Brzezinski, John Whitehead, Peter Peterson, Paul Volcker, as well as most key members of the British establishment. The Pilgrims also include a number of early CIA directors and/or close family. This establishment, which has a dominant influence on the State Department, has always aimed for either a pro-Arab policy (for oil) or one that at the very least is balanced between Israel and the Arab world.
• The Conservative Establishment - Primarily demonstrates the pervasive influence/manipulation of hawkish, extreme-right Pentagon and CIA people, with Ted Shackley having occupied a pivotal role ever since the death of President John F. Kennedy. This establishment has always greatly opposed the policy of détente, introduced by Henry Kissinger. The American Security Council, the World Anti-Communist League, Le Cercle and the Center for Security Policy have been some of its most important private action groups. In mainland Europe this establishment is dominated by the Opus Dei and Knights of Malta network. This establishment used to be greatly opposed to Zionism, but has turned around completely for the most part since the late 1970s.
• The Zionist Establishment - Works through Jewish/Zionist communities worldwide and is heavily influenced by the Mossad and Israeli government. This establishment should not be confused with the pro-Israel neoconservatives, which are a modern incarnation and dominant aspect of the conservative establishment.

For more details on each establishment people can look at the chart below.

The point-for-point summary builds on and integrates much of the original ISGP research, especially relating to Le Cercle and the Belgian Dutroux pedophile network scandals. It has been written to inspire others to investigate these circles, because until ISGP came along there was very little insight into the "extraparliamentary networks". Because it describes a large amount of connections in a very short time, this summary will be a hard read for many. It's up to the reader to study each aspect and possibly expand on it. Joël van der Reijden is unable to write several fully-sourced books in any reasonable amount of time, and most likely these books will be hard to publish anyway. This has been written to get people up to speed as quick as possible.

The Three-Establishments Model of CoverT Politics

"I just discovered your site which is fascinating, and we ought to talk one day. It so happens that I have personally met some of the people you mention on your site, or their close collaborators. ... My father was known in history as probably the biggest supporter of world government ... You may not agree that what I do is a solution, but I enjoin you to ... look for one."
- Person who plays an important role in a number of private think tanks and who is quite close to executives of the Soros foundations and Freedom House. (January 2008)

"[Maybe you can] get a doctorate - it is certainly of a high enough standard, and there's plenty enough in what you've written to produce a full doctoral thesis. If you fancied the idea, Prof __ [of a major university and specialized in Atlantic relations and intelligence studies] ... would seem the best choice. I'd be happy to support the idea with him if that was where you wanted to go."
- A real honor from a (more educated) researcher. Suggested after making the new Cercle documents available. Unlikely to happen though. You need certain inhibitions to be a "proper" professor. (Nov. '11)

"[One of our [comment: young, radical] members of parliament is the only one who] asks congressional questions about the Bilderberg conferences, because members of the government go there - the queen and one or two ministers - and because no report is provided to congress. About the other organizations too little concrete information exists to be used in parliamentary sessions. ... To be honest, little can be said with certainty about the way Bilderberg influences [regular politics]. ... The SP is focused on formal political relations … With your question we enter the extra-parliamentary domain of parapolitics; informal, non-public organizations in which influence-forming is practiced, often by persons in influential government positions and/or from the corporate world who together make political decisions without oversight."
- Assistant to a long-sitting socialist member of Dutch parliament. The initial question was about Le Cercle. Members of parliament from the U.S., England, the Netherlands and Belgium refused to reply, or call back, or denied knowing anything about Le Cercle. This includes a member of England's Cercle-affiliated Intelligence and Security Committee. Cercle members also refuse to comment. (October 2010)

Guess this last citation is one of those examples that indicates our present knowledge of politics - whether you are an average Joe or even a political scientist - is limited. So here, after eight years endless organizing and much testing:

Presenting: a new model of international covert politics

This model is not explored deeper on this [ISGP Archive - Ed] website, because it is largely based on information that was gathered after the site became inactive (well, not entirely it seems). Maybe this model will be explained in a future book, but this is anything but certain. The basic model and some key points are published here to give people something to hold onto when they are investigating the jungle of covert politics and conspiracies. It works, although key persons in the liberal and conservative establishments tend to get invited to opposing think tanks and conferences as observers - people as Henry Kissinger (to the Cercle and ASC, his greatest adversaries. Other friends of David Rockefeller were invited as alternatives over the years) or Richard Perle (to Bilderberg, the National Interest and shared another board with his decades-long arch-enemy Henry Kissinger) are popular in that sense. Also, a small but very influential group of liberal establishment figures (Ivy League education, Pilgrims background, supporters of global warming, etc.) basically are neoconservatives when it comes to foreign policy. Paul Nitze, George Shultz and James Woolsey are among the examples. After having put thousands of biographies together, it must be said that these men are relative exceptions.

Applying the model internationally works great also. However, the terms "liberal" and "conservative" are confusing, because political parties in different countries may call themselves liberal or even socialist, but in reality may have always worked closely with extreme-right U.S. conservatives. And it can also be the other way round. So when you apply the model internationally you ignore official party names. All you ask is: allied with leading U.S. liberal establishment figures (Kissinger, etc.) and think tanks/conferences (Bilderberg, etc.)? Or allied with leading U.S. conservative establishment figures (Shackley, Casey, Perle, etc.) and think tanks/conferences (Heritage Foundation, ASC, Cercle, etc.)? Since the U.S. has been running the Cold War and War on Terror, this is usually quite easy to figure out.

Honestly, yes, new names would actually have to be introduced, but that sounds too uncomfortable for most people to use - at least at this point. Someone with a Ph.D. needs to introduce those names and only after consulting with a number of other leading political researchers.

Below some of the key points are listed that I wanted to get across. It's just a quick summary and because of that no sources are listed. Guess if this isn't enough to get some real research going on, then nothing is.

With further explanation this model will show:

• That the British Conservative Party (Tories) is the party of the royalist ruling class in Great Britain that historically has been allied with the (liberal) Eastern Establishment in the United States. The Pilgrims Society is clear evidence of that. However, there are historic differences of opinion on fighting communism and European integration, so the British conservatives are spread out (in this model) among the liberal and conservative (international) establishment. Some leading pro-EU conservatives go to Bilderberg, but the liberal establishment is also forced to work with non-establishment elements in the Labour and Liberal parties. Eurosceptic establishment, conservative figures have gathered around groups as Le Cercle and the Freedom Association and run the libertarian (meaning: zero restrictions to free trade) U.K. Independence Party. But ultimately everything is run by the establishment surrounding the royal family (which does not control this establishment at all, as some like to promote) - the banks, aristocrats, think tanks and the intelligence agencies - which are all trying to rally public support for their political, strategic and economic views.

• That in terms of national security and looking at the historical members of Le Cercle and the American Security Council, it's not practical to distinguish in too much detail between old, religious, new right and even neoconservatism in the United States. They're all sitting around the table with each other. They may differ in their opinions about gay marriage and abortion, but this establishment has always been dominated by ultra-radical hawks who wanted to wipe out communism and undermine the policies of Henry Kissinger, the State Department and the liberal establishment. The real mystery is how the conservatives moved from a rabidly anti-Israel policy to one in almost complete support of that country. There seems to be an intelligence role here that we are not yet aware of.

• That the conservative establishment is seemingly run by total psychopaths. Le Cercle, run by the CIA and Ted Shackley in particular, had links with fascist activists all over Europe, Franco, Salazar, the P-2 Lodge, stay-behind networks, the apartheid regimes in Rhodesia and South Africa, and people from the Pinochet government. While various Cercle members were closely affiliated with death squad leaders and drug dealers in South Africa, the Cercle-related American Security Council (seemingly dominated by former CIA counter-intelligence chief James Angleton and his friends) invited these criminals directly to their meetings or went to visit them overseas on "fact-finding missions": Mario Sandoval, Roberto d'Aubuisson, Colonel Enrique Bermudez, Stedman Fagoth - the worst of the worst. They also liaised with Jonas Savimbi in Angola (known to have thrown people in bonfires), Ian Smith of Rhodesia and General Christoffel van der Westhuizen in South Africa (who assassinated anti-apartheid activists and was behind false flag terrorist attacks to split the opposition). In addition, various American Security Council members have advocated the use of nuclear weapons during the wars in Korea, Vietnam and the first Gulf War, as well as a preventive attack on the Soviet Union before it developed a significant nuclear strike capability (the ASC's General Curtis Lemay is just one example). Then there are intricate links to the Moonie cult and pedophile entrapment networks (a Cold War psychological program which can also be tied to the other two establishments). Also various Wackenhut directors sat on the board of the American Security Council since the 1960s, pretty much reinforcing the idea that this firm was used by the CIA for covert operations.

• That the Catholic European side of the conservative establishment is the combined Opus Dei and Knights of Malta network, which in the 20th century revolved around Otto von Habsburg and his Cercle network. The most important contact point in the United States for this group has been the Heritage Foundation (Paul Weyrich, Ed Feulner, Richard Mellon Scaife, Gen. Daniel Graham with his SDI project), which Habsburg occassionally visited. Other U.S. allies of this network were William Colby, William Casey, Ted Shackley and a number of other high level CIA officers. This is the basic truth about Opus Dei. This network has never been discussed in any detail in the media for some reason. Dan Brown's work is fiction. However, members apparently refer to it as "nec plus ultra", meaning "nothing further beyond", and there's evidence that Opus Dei members, in cooperation with the CIA, have been involved in what has been termed "ritual abuse". The question that remains is whether CIA directors belonging to Opus Dei actually adhere to the principle that Opus Dei members always need to obey (or at least consult) the Opus Dei leadership - that would be worrying, to say the least. In 1984 the arms dealer Prince Miguel de Bourbon gave us a great insight into what Opus Dei is really all about:

"Weapons are there, since people are there. ... Why should we not sell them the weapons? Not weapons, only man is good or bad. ... I think the weapons that Opus Dei allows [to be sold], or also other governments - because to me Opus Dei is a government unto itself - serve the people. ... If we need certain things, then we do not get them by preaching, but through other means. If people do not want to hear, it's like in school, then we must provide other means to ensure that they hear. ... I am of the opinion that Opus Dei must prevail over the whole of Europe. People who share my ideas of hierarchy and discipline should join Opus Dei. I am convinced that this is the only thing that can save Europe. Opus Dei will follow President Reagan…"

• That there's a clear pattern in international accusations of a cover up in child abuse networks when looking at the conservative establishment. The Craig Spence case, the Franklin affair, the Colonel Cutolo affidavit and the Dutroux X-Dossiers can quite easily be linked together and all involve people who were active within the American Security Council and Le Cercle. Going through the Cutolo document, at some point you'll probably come to the conclusion that a lot of the information from illegal spy operations carried out by Edwin Wilson (ultimately for Shackley) must have went to General Daniel Graham (former CIA and DIA head) and General Robert Richardson at High Frontier, the SDI lobbying group. Both men sat on the strategy board of the American Security Council, seemingly ran by the retired CIA counter-intelligence chief James Jesus Angleton, a close friend of General Richardson. My book:

"Incredibly, Richardson was a board member of Consultants International, the firm of Edwin Wilson. And just as amazing, another board member of Consultants International – and a very good friend of Wilson - was Robert Keith Gray [June 14, 1981, N.Y. Times]. Both Gray and Wilson have been accused of running pedophile blackmail operations for the CIA. In addition, Gray’s Hill & Knowlton firm had a five-member senior advisory board in the 1980s. Besides [Cercle participant] Admiral Moorer and a White House staffer, on it sat ambassador Douglas MacArthur II [Dec. 7, 1981, Washington Post], a nephew of the famous general, who is closely linked to the Moonies and a CIA-linked, sadistic, pedophile underground in Belgium. It seems these people really know how to find one another."

In Beyond Dutroux I was still looking for a better source, but Douglas MacArthur II was indeed chairman of the European Institute of Management. This shady firm, owned by a 1001 Club member, was right in the middle of the stay-behind/Gladio operations, pedophile entrapment networks and even child hunts on castle domains (guarded by Nazi militants), reportedly involving Baron de Bonvoisin (Le Cercle) and his best friend Paul vanden Boeynants. Wackenhut, so dominant within the ASC, was also close to this network. General Graham and General Richardson, representing the (Catholic) Heritage Foundation, coincidentally also sat on the board of the Belgian-based think tank Institute pour la Paix et la Securite (IEPS), which was part of Opus Dei clique of Otto von Habsburg. As I noted in a recent email to someone, also on that board sat:

"Jean Gol, Willy de Clercq and Jacques Jonet, all in close contact with the Belgian child abusers and going to some of the same parties... not to mention that they were insiders to a "secret lodge" and seemingly terrorist false flag operations to be blamed on the communists."

Jonet was a Cercle regular and close to Baron de Bonvoisin, who also went to Le Cercle. Here they met people as Ted Shackley or his representatives. And in this way we keep going in circles. Craig Spence, who had friends in the ASC, ran similar blackmail operations for William Casey and other CIA officers (likely involving Shackley again) and his parties involved Washington's elite. George H. W. Bush (a patron and blackmail subject of Shackley at the same time), Roy Cohn (close to Craig Spence; reportedly took over pedophile blackmail operations from Wilson; Belgian connections), J. Edgar Hoover and even Colonel Michael Aquino can all be tied to this same network. In case of Aquino, involved in a massive ritual abuse case in the 1980s, he was named as an advisory council member of the ASC (found it after specifically looking for it... the odds...) and in one of his papers thanked ASC head John Fisher, who was close to James Angleton and General Richardson. In an email, Aquino denies having known Fisher, or having ever sat on ASC advisory board, or basically knowing anyone of interest. Ow well. His boss and co-author, General Paul Vallely, ties into the same network. And the fact that they were active for psychological operations fits right in with the MK-ULTRA crowd that has been accused of covering up child abuse. The future will tell. Then in recent weeks I saw an old gendarmerie report on Opus Dei, which identified two leading members of the Solvay family as co-founders of Otto von Habsburg (Opusian) CEDI network. That makes sense. The Solvay family, very much Belgian establishment, has indirectly been tied to child abuse on half a dozen occassions. They've had two later members who were invited to the 1001 Club. They also owned the notorious Chateau des Amerois, which was linked to ritual abuse involving NATO officers. The source for that is totally unreliable, but it just makes so much sense and it fits so well that this accusation should not be overlooked. In any case, the people who have been accused of running the Cold War through means of drug trafficking, arms trade, false flag terrorist attacks and coups, coincidentally also seem to be at the core of pedophile entrapment networks.

• That there's also a clear pattern in international accusations of a cover up in child abuse networks when looking at the liberal establishment. Let's take Bilderberg. From the United States there has been at least one accusation against Kissinger, together with David Rockefeller the most key person in the Bilderberg meetings. In 2003 the Casa Pia child abuse scandal was linked to a politician invited to Bilderberg. But we can do better than that. In the Belgian X-Dossiers, Bilderberg chairman Etienne Davignon, the European pillar of the Bilderberg group and a good friend of Kissinger, was named as a child abuser. So have the Lippens brothers on half a dozen occassions. Leopold Lippens has been a long-time member of the 1001 Club. Maurice Lippens, a close friend of Davignon, regularly goes to Bilderberg and the Trilateral Commission. He is among those accused of having participated in hunts on children, in this case at Chateau de Chimay. Looking at accusations of a cover-up in the Netherlands, they are focused around the royal family, which of course has always been involved in Bilderberg. ISGP reported on a lawyer for the royal family, Prince Claus and a member of an aristocratic family who sits on the Prince Bernhard Culture Fund. However, information received privately indicates that Prince Bernhard himself was involved with the ritual abuse cult of 300 upper class Dutchmen that was briefly mentioned in the X-Dossiers. If the prince himself participated was unclear. The origin of this network may well be the CIA again. In 1959 an officer of Dutch intelligence, who was very close to Brian Crozier and Le Cercle, went to visit the Human Ecology Foundation, a CIA front for MK-ULTRA. In response he set up a Dutch branch of this foundation, financed by major Dutch multinationals. Looking at the multinationals, their chairmen were all members of Prince Bernhard's very secret "Tie Club", set up in the early 1950s. This club also involved Bernhard's good friend General Walter Bedell Smith, a CIA director and Pilgrims excutive. This may possibly explain the origins of this ritual abuse cult in the Netherlands. But in any case, also in the Netherlands the accusations point right to the Bilderberg crowd, as they do in Belgium.

Then in 2008 we had the Haut de la Garenne case on Jersey, one of the channel islands. Haut de la Garenne was a large children's home on the island and as it turns out, a very notorious one among children who went there. Abuse in all forms was rampant. Reportedly up to 150 victim-witnesses reported to the police of having been abused there, but not much came of the investigation after key investigators had been replaced (as had happened with the X-Dossiers). One name leaked, because this person had been dead for decades: Senator Wilfred Krichefski. Let's take a look at the newspaper archives in this case and mention a few sources: September 10, 1962, The Times, 'New Investment Trust for Jersey':

"The International Investment Trust Company of Jersey ... Its chairman is Major Sir Henry J. d'Avigdor-Goldsmid, M.P., who is chairman of the Anglo Israel Bank Ltd. ... On its board are the Hon. N. C. Jacob Rothschild, of N. M. Rothschild and Sons, G. C. Karlweiss, a director of La Compagnie Financiere [de Edmond de Rothschild], Paris [and later chair of Banque Privee Edmond de Rothschild], J. Pembroke, president of the Royal Trust Company, H. M. Robinow, a director of Barro Equities Ltd. and associated companies, and two Jersey company directors, Senator W. H. Krichefski, a member of the States' Assembly, and Mr. R. R. Jeune, a sollicitator of the Royal Court."

And another article: July 10, 1972, The Times, Business appointments:

"Following the acquisition by Star Investments Finance (Jersey) and Drayton Securities (Jersey) of a one-third interest each in Jersey International Bank of Commerce the board will comprise of: Senator W. H. Krichefski, Mr. C. H. Barclay ... Mr. R. R. Jeune, ... Mr. Philip Shelbourne [of Rothschilds, Drayton and Samuel Montagu]..."

Interesting, so Krichefski was the premier business partner of the British and French Rothschilds on the island, as well as person who reportedly managed some of the queen's investments (Shelbourne at Drayton). And both Clifford Barclay and Philip Shelbourne were Pilgrims. R. R. Jeune sounds familiar too. That's Robert Reginald Jeune, a leading senator in the 1970s and 1980s and a good friend of Krichefski. And although Jeune wasn't officially accused, he just happened to work at the Haut de la Garenne home where Krichefski, according to at least one victim-witness, went to rape boys. That's not all. Jeune was a partner in Mourant du Feu & Jeune, one of the world's largest offshore law firms with clients as Rothschilds, Warburg, Barings and other major English banks. In the 1970s he was a director of Warburg Investment Management Jersey and of S.G. Warburg & Co., headed at the time by the leading Pilgrims Society member Lord Eric Roll. Roll joined Kissinger Associates in 1984 and became Bilderberg chairman in 1985. Both the British and American branches of the Warburg family have been Pilgrims too. In other words, Krichefski and Jeune were closely tied to the liberal establishent.

• That there's also a clear pattern in international accusations of a cover up in child abuse networks when looking at the Zionist establishment. Krichefski and Jeune obviously were closely working with the Rothschilds and Warburg, while Krichefski was the leading Jewish fundraiser on the island. Add to that d'Avigdor-Goldsmid, chairman of the Anglo Israel Bank Ltd. (Bank Leumi), and Israel comes even closer into the picture. d'Avigdor-Goldsmid was also chairman of Pergamon Press from 1969 to 1971, the firm of the constroversial Robert Maxwell who quite obviously worked with the Mossad (and was in contact with the CIA-backed, Japanese fascist, Moonie backer, WACL ally and Yakuza kingpin Ryoichi Sasakawa). Belgian dossiers actually provide a direct link between Bank Leumi and the Mossad. CEO of the Belgian branch of Bank Leumi in the 1980s was Rami Weinbaum, a "former" agent of the Mossad. Weinbaum was deeply involved in the criminal circuit and ordered at least one assassination. Because of a prominent Jewish community in Antwerp, Belgian dossiers provide many additional links to Mossad/Zionist operatives who work with criminals and the Russian mafia. Some of these Jews/Zionists (Mossad) have worked closely with Belgian establishment officials accused of child abuse and working for the CIA. The ASCO firm of Roger Boas, for example, had Israeli General Efraim Poran on its board while the Israeli Abraham Shavit was acting as Boas' "right hand". Poran was a military liaison officer for prime ministers Menachem Begin (1977-1983), Shamir (1983-1984) and Yitzchak Rabin (1974-1977 and 1992-1995). Shavit was described in a document as a "personal friend" of Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin. This same document reported that the bank of Jewish banker Edmond Safra (1001 Club, like a number of other Zionist/Mossad operatives) was used by the Mossad, Shavit, Roger Boas and Paul vanden Boeynants for money laundering. This is all interesting, because vanden Boeynants was a close friend of Boas (and Baron de Bonvoisin) and has been accused of child abuse by various witnesses. Furthermore, one X-Dossier victim-witness pointed the detectives to the ASCO factory, claiming that she and other victims had regularly been taken to this place for abuse. She gave a list of names and remembered that the owner of the company was called "Roger". Also, she stated that a snuff room had been operated here. If that is not enough, ASCO was involved in Iran-Contra (arms) and so was apparently was vanden Boeynants (drug trafficking). And so there are other close links between Zionism and child abuse. "Nebula leader" Felix Przedborski, for example, protected by a team of "retired" Mossad agents in his operations, was a member of Cercle des Nations, ran by the child abusing, CIA-backed Opus Dei elite in Belgium (vanden Boeynants, de Bonvoisin and others). Another questionable Belgian Jew, Pierre Salik, was a friend of Przedborski and of the Neijman family, which ran Geoffrey's Bank and illegally sold arms to Idi Amin and other questionable regimes. The Neijmans in turn were known friends of Roy Cohn, who was working with the CIA and accused of running a pedophile entrapment network (not to mention that he was on the board of Permindex). Salik reportedly worked with the Mossad. And so there are a number of other hints that there's a Mossad/Zionist aspect to every illegal operation the CIA is running. But we already know that, of course, from Iran-Contra.

• That even though the 1001 Club shows us that the liberal establishment was very friendly with the Shah in Iran, Mobutu in the Congo and Suharto in Indonesia, in general it is much more concerned about public opinion than the conservative establisment and won't associate itself very openly with questionable regimes and opposition leaders.

• That John F. Kennedy was opposed by all three establishments by the time of his death. His worldwide policy regarding communism and socialism - in the Congo, Italy, Indonesia, as well as Vietnam and Cuba to a large extent - was to the left of both the liberal and conservative establishments. This included the State Department, the CIA and, domestically, Hoover's FBI. In addition, he pushed the Israelis to allow U.S. inspections of their Dimona reactor. This explains why many conspiracies, as Iran-Contra, can be exposed to a degree, but never the Kennedy assassination. To illustrate: Ted Shackley, with almost no doubt a high-level insider to the assassination (with David Morales and others), later became a key person in illegal covert operations tied to the conservative establishment and maintained a relationship with the Mossad. Shackley's superior, however, Richard Helms, had family members in the Pilgrims Society and himself went partying with the Rockefellers and Henry Kissinger.

• That these same elements come back almost forty years later in 9/11. Maybe it's a coincidence, but one of Shackley's low level employees at the time of the Kennedy assassination, Porter Goss, has been tied to Venice Airport operations, which is where the most important hijackers operated from. He and his friend, Senator Graham were (also) meeting with the alleged ISI financier of the hijackers on the morning of 9/11; both friends then proceeded to head the Joint 9/11 Intelligence Inquiry. Goss finally became the new CIA chief. As for the liberal establishment: Henry Kissinger, a Pilgrims vice president, was appointed initial head of the 9/11 inquiry. After his removal due to public pressure, a new chairman was appointed. But nothing really changed. After the conclusion of the less-than-revealing 9/11 Commission, four members of this committee, including the chairman and vice chairman (who co-founded it), were appointed to the board of Partnership for a Secure America. Today they share this distinction with (primarily) other key members of the liberal establishment, among them Pilgrims as Zbigniew Brzezinski, George Shultz and John Whitehead, as well as Frank Wisner, Jr., whose father was a member of the liberal establishment along with his CIA colleagues Allen Dulles (Pilgrims) and Richard Helms. Madeleine Albright and two partners in her Albright Stonebridge Group are also board members.

Update: Paul Bremer's role in 9/11 has been questioned. Bremer, a counter-terrorism tsar since the late 1980s, appeared on national television within 4 hours of the attack, pointing the finger to Osama bin Laden and warning countries as Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and even China to cooperate with the newly-introduced War on Terror. The interesting thing is that Bremer had been hired by the company Marsh & McLennan in November 2000 as a counter-terrorism expert. It was this firm that occupied all the floors in the North Tower where Flight 11 crashed into. Paul Bremer (later) served on the advisory board of Komatsu, a firm that in 1996 had patented an efficient and quiet nano-thermite demolition device. Kevin Ryan, a former laboratory manager of Underwriter Laboratories who tested some of the WTC steel and was fired for disagreeing with the official conclusions, wrote an interesting article about this.

What I find the most important about Paul Bremer in this case is that he was a career State Department officer who worked under the Pilgrims Henry Kissinger, Alexander Haig and George Shultz. In fact, Bremer and Kissinger briefed incoming secretary of state Shultz in 1982. Bremer worked alongside another Pilgrim at the State Department, Raymond Seitz, as well as Lawrence Eagleburger (Kissinger Associates, also promoted the War on Terror on television right after 9/11). From 1989 to 2000 he was managing director of Kissinger Associates. So in other words, Bremer has been a key member of the liberal establishment for decades. Then in November 2000, in the same period that his former boss, George Shultz, with top-level neoconservative PNAC signers (who were calling for a new Pearl Harbor) as Richard Perle (don't forget: once a protege of an ASC member), Paul Wolfowitz (protege of the same ASC member), Dov Zakheim (major and controversial U.S.-Israel Zionist who should be a very important figure in any 9/11 investigation, especially for a company he was an executive of that owned a complex drone guidance system that can be fitted on large airliners) and Dick Cheney (close to various former ASC members) manage to get George W. Bush into the White House as part of the "Vulcan" team, Bremer goes to work for Jeffrey Greenberg at Marsh & McLennan. He gets an office around the 50th floor in the South Tower, although there's no indication he was in either of the buildings on the morning of 9/11. Soon after 9/11, Bremer becomes a key person in setting up Homeland Security through a panel of the Cercle-linked Heritage Foundation (Bremer is a Catholic and also somewhat supported in conservative circles). He also becomes the civilian adminstrator in Iraq after the invasion. Some newspapers at the time were wondering why both liberal and conservative circles were in agreement over his appointment.

Now that we discussed Bremer, who is Jeffrey Greenberg, the chairman and CEO of Marsh & McLennan? Well, Jeffrey is the son of Maurice Greenberg, coincidentally yet another close friend of Henry Kissinger, Peter Peterson, David Rockefeller and many other Pilgrims. It surprised me in 2005 that Maurice Greenberg had not (yet) been invited to the Pilgrims. But in any case, he has been vice chair of the Council on Foreign Relations and headed the insurance firm AIG (where both of his sons also used to work). Both AIG and Marsh & McLennan have had plenty of intelligence connections and both firms have been accused of being secretive. To illustrate, when AIG invited former MI6 head Sir Richard Dearlove (his nephew, Justin Longley, was involved in the illegal Equatorial Guinea coup, other natural resources-related projects in Africa with SAS coup plotter Simon Mann, and was a manager for Oryx Natural Resources - rumored links with Robert Mugabe, Al Qaeda - while Wally Hilliard, who owned the flight schools in Florida that trained the key hijackers, also owned a firm with the name Oryx LLC, about which he refused to elaborate in any way) to its board in 2006, a newspaper report read:

"AIG regularly recruits former leading British and American intelligence officials. The head of the group's political risk division for long years was a former head of the CIA directorate of operations, David Cohen. Before the firm was bought out by its rival, MMC [Marsh & McLennan, headed by Maurice's son Jeffrey], AIG also figured among the leading institutional shareholders of the renowned private American intelligence concern Kroll." [where Frank Wisner, Jr. could be found, of Partnership for a Secure America, with Kissinger, Shultz, the 9/11 Commission members, etc., and the firm that consulted the WTC complex and the Port Authority on security since the 1994 WTC bombing].

In addition, Maurice himself was offered the post of CIA deputy director under Reagan, which he refused, and in 1995 his name was put forward as a possible new CIA director. So it is clear that Maurice has many friends in the CIA and that this influence can easily filter through to his son at Marsh & McLennan - the company where Flight 11 crashed into.

The key point is here that there is strong evidence for the use of explosives and thermite on 9/11 at the WTC, certainly at the floors where the planes impacted at. At least: this author has gathered roughly 150 witness testimonies, including dozens from firefighters, from which it is clear that everyone was convinced that day that bombs were going off at various floors of the World Trade Center towers - whether or not these men and women later chose to accept the official conclusions. Combine this with several videos that show that the collapses indeed started with loud explosions (we still need more and better footage, while a real analysis of Danny Jowenko on 1 and 2 WTC would also have been very much appreciated - as I had been asking him a few months before his death) and the clear-cut demolition of 7 WTC, and there's something that needs to be explained here.

So it's interesting to see that one lead points to the Zionists (the famous dancing men, maybe Larry Silverstein, maybe Dov Zakheim and some neocons - and quite possibly they're picked as fall guys), another points to Ted Shackley and his conservative establishment group (Porter Goss and this is also where the neocons grew out of), and yet others point to the absolute core of the liberal establishment (Kissinger, Bremer, Greenberg, the 9/11 Commission, PSA people). In the opinion of this author, these are the only groups with the power to carry out and cover up something of the magnitude of 9/11... and coincidentally, this is where the evidence seems to lead. Also in the opinion of this author, all establishments need to have been involved to an extent to prevent an Iran-Contra type exposure, something that is addressed below.

• That it is clear that all three groups care little for democracy and that not just the (neo)conservatives, but also the liberal establishment is very much focused on slowly turning the U.S. in a police state. Most likely both establishments are already planning for civil unrest due to dwindling oil reserves and the possibility that the draft needs to be reinstated when countries in Asia are challenged (although the tactics of these establishments differ a bit). So if anything, this model clearly shows that democracy is a bottom-up movement and definitely not a top-down one.

• Why Iran-Contra, the BCCI affair and even Lockerbie were exposed by interests and people tied to the liberal establishment, most notably Time magazine, Bilderberg steering committee member Bill Moyers and the Jesuit lawyer Daniel Sheehan. The latter is directly and through his Christic Institute founding partner, Jim Garrison (not the one of the Kennedy assassination), closely linked to liberal establishment Pilgrims as Henry Kissinger, George Shultz, Zbigniew Brzezinksi and the Rockefellers. Shultz and the Pilgrims John Whitehead and Caspar Weinberger were undermined during the Reagan administration by CIA-linked conservative establishment figures as William Casey, Ted Shackley, General Poindexter, Oliver North and others.

• Sheehan seems to be at the center of the liberal establishment's idea to "give the left a sense of spirituality". The Christic Institute, which exposed Iran-Contra and Ted Shackley's "Secret Team" in 1987, was originally set up in 1980 by a group of anti-war and anti-nuclear industry activists (they were probably informants or spooks). The reason they founded the institute was because they were "struck by the fact that the right had really monopolized the issue of religion". So they began promoting the teachings of the Jesuit theologian Pierre Teilhard De Chardin combined with those from Buddhist monks. All of a sudden the fuss about the Lucis Trust and Maurice Strong's and Laurance Rockefeller's (both 1001 Club) alleged new age agendas start making sense again. Within a year of setting up the Christic Institute, Garrison also became an important unofficial contact for the U.S. government with Moscow. Garrison: "I could leverage my contacts over here to meet a Kissinger or a George Schultz. I became important because I could deliver important Soviets." As the same 1995 San Francisco Weekly article continued:

"Later in the trip, Yeltsin ... was in the middle of an incoherent speech at John Hopkins University when Garrison's cellular phone rang. It was his buddy Condolezza Rice... Although he does not speak Yeltsin's language, [Garrison] confronted the raging politician and said in his halting Russian something like, "Hey, motherfucker, I got you here and my rep is on the line so you are just going to behave and do what I say." A stunned Yeltsin obeyed and eventually won an audience with Bush, Quayle and Scowcroft."

As another 1995 newspaper article shows, both Garrison and Sheehan remained part of the liberal establishment well after the Cold War ended. October 16, 1995, Weekly Standard, 'The Global Brain Trust: A Vivisection':

"... this Wednesday evening in late September: in the Grand Ballroom of San Francisco's Fairmont Hotel, at the kick-off dinner of the State of the World Forum. It is a distinguished company, including retired diplomats (George Shultz and Zbigniew Brzezinski), ... science popularizers (Carl Sagan...), ... rich guys (Ted Turner and David Packard), New Age gurus (Sam Keen and Deepak Chopra) … ... With his Forum co-chairman, James Garrison, Gorbachev has hand-picked the invitees, most of whom have paid $ 5,000 to attend. … [Garrison] organized U.S. speaking tours for Gorbachev, Eduard Shevardnadze, and Boris Yeltsin. His investment-consulting firm, based in San Francisco, flourished with deals in the former Soviet bloc. ... Today he is a very wealthy man, perhaps the only operator in the world who's on a first- name basis with both George Shultz and New Age healer Deepak Chopra... Gorbachev himself spoke freely of "transforming human consciousness." ... A makeshift bookstore sold CDs like "Sacred Healing Chants of Tibet" and "Exploring the Cosmic Christ" and books like "Jesus, CEO: Using Ancient Wisdom for Visionary Leadership". Aside from Garrison himself, no one understands this final, decadent phase of the Left better than Danny Sheehan, a well-known political activist who, like Garrison, was one of the founders of the Christic Institute. On the last day of the Forum, I buttonholed him outside the Grand Ballroom. "A couple of things can come from this Forum," he said, in his breathless manner. "Like I was in the bathroom just now. And I saw Ruud Lubbers [1001 Club, professor of globalization and former prime minister of the Netherlands]. I was on a panel with him -- and just now I called him 'Ruud.'" He calls Gorbachev "Michael." First names. So there's a friendship thing happening. The statespersons get to be friends with the New Scientists who get to be friends with the spiritual leaders who get to be friends with the statespersons."

So, this is the Daniel Sheehan that is being worshipped in the conspiracy community for having exposed Iran-Contra. Let's face it, there's nothing independent about this person. This last article also brings up the question if the liberal establishment has a hand in latest combination of quantum mechanics with new age theories, although, as the author can personally guarantee, there's a considerable core of truth in that.

• Why the Disclosure Project, whose general counsel was Daniel Sheehan, to a large extent is focused on catastrophic global warming theories and the cancellation of any space-based weapons programs (Dr. Carol Rosin formerly was of Stop the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), among other things), besides promoting tons of fake witnesses, fake documents and new age conspiracy theories.

• That especially the CIA-linked conservative establishment has been very much concerned with recovering all the gold Japan had stolen during WWII from countries all over Asia. As far as we know, this quest has been primarily focused on the Philippines, where Tomoyuki Yamashita buried a lot of the gold after shipments to Japan were not possible anymore. Coincidentally, many of the people involved with recovering the gold - once again - were also involved with the American Security Council. They included: General Douglas MacArthur, General Charles Willoughby, General Edward Lansdale, Ray Cline, General Daniel Graham, General John Singlaub and General George Keegan. Hand written note of Alan Foringer, administrative head of the CIA station in Manila, to Robert Curtis (of C & B Salvage, who entered into a joint venture with a bunch of CIA people to retrieve gold from the Philippines) (somewhere from Sterling Seagrave files):

"Can we agree to take half of endowment in PAFF and use it to fund WDF [Western Defense Foundation] for national defense projects in U.S. and Philippines? Examples: Strategic Defense Initiative. Other space programs. B-1 Bomber. MX Missiles. Etc. Etc. Conventional weapons. To in effect build a new military-industrial complex controlled by us? If your answer is yes, I suggest A. Singlaub. B. Schweiter. C. Daniel Graham. D. George Keegan. E. Jack Vessey."

Reportedly Singlaub wanted to use the proceeds of some of the gold also for the World Anti-Communist League.

• That General Douglas MacArthur and General Charles Willoughby, both involved with the early American Security Council, were at the basis of using the Yakuza in Japan (through the fascist war criminals Sasakawa and Kodama) and the Moonie Cult in South Korea to influence the politics in those countries and, together with Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan, to finance private anti-communist action groups as the Asian People's Anti-Communist League, the World Anti-Communist League and later the International Security Council (to circumvent the State Department's monopoly on diplomacy). The Korean Central Intelligence Agency later backed the influence-peddling adventures of Tongsun Park and Sun Myung Moon in the United States, where they forged tight links with the conservatives, often from the American Security Council. Once again, besides drug trafficking there are links here to pedophile entrapment. Park and Moon are usually seen as either businessmen who were working on their own, but they were completely backed by the KCIA. However, CIA involvement in guiding the KCIA seems to be one of history's dirty little secrets. Not much can be found about it. The same goes for the continuing interest of the liberal and conservative establishments in South Korea. The low-profile Korea-United States Exchange Council Inc. is a good example of that. Ed Feulner, decades long president of the Heritage Foundation and a Cercle participant, is secretary of the group, while Henry Kissinger is a vice president. Richard L. Walker, with a WACL and "alleged" CIA past is another vice president. He is also a director of the very important Korea Society. Executive director Otilie English has been a key representative for U.S. interests in Afghanistan since the 1980s. And so there are more peculiar people on this council.

• Why in the early 1990s, former CIA and DIA chief, General Daniel Graham, of the American Security Council, was ridiculing global warming science during one of his pro-SDI / Star Wars speeches, claiming that:

"the "big green" issue [is] sort of the spine of left-wing globalism."

He was flanked by Pentagon strategist Fritz Kraemer (whose son was the ASC's policy director), who had never forgiven his protege Henry Kissinger for creating détente and SALT, and Frank Gaffney, founder of the highly influential Center for Security Policy, which has acted as a post-Cold War continuation of the old American Security Council.

The truth is, the conservatives who are claiming that nothing is going on with global warming are lying just as much as the liberals who are claiming that the world is about to end because of the rising CO2 levels. Remember, everything is ran by establishments, not independent individuals. We know that about Al Gore, who is close to the core of the liberal establishment, including Maurice Strong (1001 Club), the Schiff family (Pilgrims) and the Rockefellers (Pilgrims and 1001). However, the "alternative" seems to be very disinterested at looking critically to the conservative side. Let's take the 3rd Viscount Monckton, today so renowned for his 35 Inconvenient Truths piece and for his challenge to debate Al Gore in public over global warming. Sites as Infowars love him. But is he acting as an independent, concerned citizen? Unlikely. Let's cite a little bit from the book I'm (occassionally) working on:

"In 2004 [Monckton's] brother Anthony was exposed as the MI6 station chief in the Balkans. His grandfather, the 1st Viscount and chairman of the Midland Bank, was a known Pilgrim... Both the 1st and 2nd Viscount appear to have acted as patrons of the notorious Stephan Kock, a SAS and covert operations veteran who was active for MI6 [and was responsible for assassinations as head of Group 13]. Years later, in 1981, the 2nd Viscount Monckton, a Knight of Malta and army colonel, became a co-founder of the mercenary firm Defence Systems Limited with SAS Colonel Alastair Morrison, a reported friend of Stephan Kock. Monckton was the firm’s first chairman."

Alastair Morrison, in turn, brings in a whole network of other top level "retired" SAS officers working on overthrowing countries worldwide, among them Cercle participant Tim Spicer, Tony Buckingham (fake name, just as Stephan Kock), Simon Mann and others. Just these few people have ran mercenary companies as Executive Outcomes, Sandline, Erinys, Kroll Security Group and Aegis Defence Services. The intelligence connections of the Monckton family don't end there. The Freedom Association, of which the 3rd Viscount Monckton is a board member, has been set up and staffed over the years by various MI6 and Cercle people. Also a few Pilgrims are involved with it. But to continue with my book:

"He was an advisor to the founder of the eurosceptic Referendum Party, Sir James Goldsmith [close to former Cercle head Brian Crozier and Jacob Rothschild]. In more recent years Monckton became an important influence in the UK Independence Party, which is skeptic of both global warming and Britain’s integration into the European Union. ... In the late 1980s [Goldsmith] became involved with senior SAS leadership in a mercenary firm that was accused of undermining South-Africa's transition to democracy [through terrorism]. By the mid 1990s he had become one of the major anti-integration forces with regard to the European Union. ... In 2004 former Conservative chairman Lord Tebbit claimed he had sources, one of them a serving MI6 officer, who had explained to him that the UK Independence Party had been infiltrated by two MI6 moles... According to Tebbit, these moles used to work for Sir James Goldsmith at his Referendum Party, but had moved to UKIP by 1997."

This last part is hardly interesting, considering that the whole Cercle network consists of "retired" and "freelance" spooks active in various parties and action groups. But the point here is that also the opinions in the global warming debate can be traced to the same liberal and a conservative elites. The fact is that the rise of CO2 in the atmosphere should worry everyone, but at the same time there's no evidence yet that this will lead to major global catastrophes in the short term. So even though it's a wise idea to start limiting the CO2 output as much as possible, what is going here is that public opinion is being manipulated to suit the long term strategy of one establishment or the other. It's absolutely not about having an open debate and looking at the facts.

• That there's no such thing as an Illuminati or "New World Order". There's not a single shred of evidence.

• Why extreme-right authors as Eustace Mullins, Gary Allen and Dan Smoot (read their biographies - they were extreme-right!) were promoted during the Cold War by intelligence-linked aspects of the conservative establishment to attack the Federal Reserve, the CFR, the Trilateral Commission, the Rockefellers, "liberals", and Henry Kissinger's détente and SALT policies. These three authors were linked with H. L. Hunt, for example. But there have been many others.

• That the online and off-line conspiracy community has such a terrible reputation, because it has been completely infiltrated by different establishments. And because of this it is almost impossible to get decent information without doing years of in depth research. If you think this is unlikely, remember how the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover had 15,000 undercover agents in the U.S. Communist Party and, in cooperation with the CIA, was actively (and illegally) undermining anti-war and other leftist groups. In more recent years it has come out that the militia movement was also ran by the FBI to some extent. From England we have examples that the anti-nuclear movement was completely penetrated and ran by British intelligence. So should we really expect that the conspiracy community is treated any different, certainly in the United States? After all, from whatever perspective you look at it, this community is a huge threat to national security. From a realpolitik point of view you just cannot allow it to operate independently. It needs to be penetrated and managed, at the very least to prevent manipulation by foreign powers. And there's plenty of evidence that it is also being manipulated by several establishments and in every possible way, which is definitely illegal. This list of 9/11 investigators should be a strong indication. Various examples are also discussed in one of the above points and in the Pilgrims Society article. But there's much more. A number of examples:

• • Peter Lemkin My latest find, after he claimed - in response to me criticizing Daniel Sheehan - to have worked on a few cases with Daniel Sheehan and tried to defend him. Has made more than 10,000 posts on various forums. Originally a JFK investigator. Now promotes bogus no-757 theories about the Pentagon and seems to be a friend of James Fetzer, discussed in the 9/11 link above.
  • Mark Lane: JFK assassination researcher alongside Jim Garrison who later became the lawyer for the Jonestown cult and was evacuated along with the CIA's Richard Dwyer when the killings began.
  • Air Force General Nathan Twining: commander Air Materiel Command, Wright-Patterson 1945-47. Initiated Project Sign. Chairman Joint Chiefs. Board member American Security Council. Vice chairman of Holt, Rinehart & Winston, Inc. in the period that it published Mark Lane's JFK book Rush to Judgment. The husband of the ultra-connected neoconservative Jeane Kirkpatrick (Le Cercle), Evron Kirkpatrick, a psychological warfare expert, also worked at Holt, Rinehart at the time.
  • Regnery family: owners of Regnery Publishing and members of the American Security Council. Regnery Publishing was allegedly financed by the CIA in the early days of the Cold War. Regnery Press published the works of famous UFO investigators J. Allen Hynek, Jacques Vallee and the less prominent Raymond Drake and Charles Bowen. More recognizable, the firm also printed an anti-FDR policy book, books of Friedrich Hayek, Ludwig von Mises and Ezra Pound (the fascist poet and mentor to Eustace Mullins), a book in defense of the Moonie cult, and an early and controversial book on multiple personality disorder.
  • George R. Hearst, Jr.: American Security Council member and chairman of Hearst Magazines, which today still publishes Popular Mechanics, the magazine that did a questionable anti-9/11 Truth piece - which in turn was opposed by the questionable 9/11 researcher David Ray Griffin.
  • Senator John McCain III: son of an American Security Council member. Himself on the board of the U.S. branch of the WACL, which was completely dominated by ASC members. Wrote the foreword of the Popular Mechanics book Debunking 9/11 Myths.
  • Clay Claiborne: writer for the Daily Kos. Supposedly is a left-wing activist but used to sit on the extreme-right ASC board with half a dozen high level CIA spooks. Claiborne also sat on the Religious Roundtable of Jerry Falwell in the 1980s.
  • Terry Arnold: a reported "State Department/CIA spook". In the 1980s he was a co-author of Neil Livingstone, who was a CIA recruit of James Angleton for the Israeli desk, sat on the board of the American Security Council and still today has formidable intelligence connections. However, in recent years Terry Arnold set up the now defunct Intelligence Officers for 9/11 Truth. He is also a long-time columnist for the conspiracy site Rense, where he writes in opposition to Israel and neoconservative policy.
  • Robert Moss: A prominent member of Le Cercle who helped Ted Shackley and Brian Crozier with the famous Chilean coup of Pinochet in 1973. He also helped these men with their propaganda efforts against British labor unions. In the early 1980s, Moss became an authority in the active/lucid dreaming field who forgot to inform his readers of his past. Moss is frequently featured on Coast to Coast AM.
  • Richard Hoagland: Regular commentator on Coast to Coast AM on space issues, and Mars in particular. Great promotor of theories as the "city" of Cydonia, consisting of a "face", pyramids and, more recently, a frozen underground city. The latter is based on faked THEMIS IR data and rumor has it that Dr. George A. Keyworth was behind this move. Coincidentally, Hoagland and Keyworth have been in contact since the early 1980s. Keyworth is a protege of Dr. Edward Teller of the ASC. Both scientists were/are great promoters of space-based weapons. Keyworth has been on the board of the influential Center for Security Policy, a post-Cold War incarnation of the ASC. It has been speculated that Keyworth and his allies have been using Hoagland and his 10 million Coast to Coast audience to pressure administrations into funding space programs, although ultimately for the weaponization of space and not for peaceful Mars missions.
  • Noam Chomsky (based on his claims): Author of Rethinking Camelot, a response to Oliver Stone's movie JFK. Supposedly written by a moderate left-winger, the book is a relentless, vicious and totally irrational attack on John F. Kennedy. Throughout the book one finds little sentences as "Kennedy's war", "Kennedy's terrorist war", "Kennedy's CIA" or "Kennedy's incipient radicalism". Chomsky compared the Kennedy administration with the one of Reagan (!!), holding them both responsible for the creation of death squads in Latin American. Chomsky's book is a joke. The CIA, which was getting out of control in this period, had built up and was backing the Catholic dictator Ngo Dinh Diem. All the later ASC members at the Joint Chiefs and CIA were supporting Diem. But Kennedy eventually ordered the coup to remove the unpopular dictator, a huge setback to the CIA and military. This is just one aspect that Chomsky purposely omitted. This only makes sense, because Chomsky wants to undermine Stone's theory that Kennedy's idea to withdraw from Vietnam was one of the main reasons for his assassination. Not surprisingly, Chomsky is just as irrational when it comes to 9/11.
  • Alexander Cockburn (based on his claims): In the aftermath of the Oliver Stone movie, Cockburn published articles in the Village Voice and The Nation, attacking the idea that Kennedy had ever contemplated to withdraw from Vietnam. He also ridiculed anyone who had the slightest doubt about the Warren Commission. This is interesting to say least, as four years earlier, for PBS Frontline, Cockburn had done an excellent job in exposing the role of Air America, the CIA airline, in transporting opium for weapons (various Iran Contra figures allowed themselves to be interviewed by him). In 1990 Cockburn wrote a book that exposed the role of the Mossad in Iran Contra operations. But for some reason Cockburn can't handle it when anyone even remotely contemplates government involvement in the Kennedy assassination. Of course, it's the same with him when it comes to 9/11.
  • Greg Palast (based on his claims): Supposedly another independent investigator. Wrote articles on voter fraud during the George W. Bush elections. With help from Joseph Stiglitz, economic advisor to Bill Clinton and chief economist at the World Bank, Palast helped expose the World Bank and the IMF's policies to force third world countries to sell off all their assets to private interests. Intriguingly, Stiglitz still is a major insider. For example, he still sits on the advisory committe of the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Named after a Pilgrim and close friend of David Rockefeller, past and present directors of the PIIE have included George Shultz (Pilgrims), Paul Volcker (Pilgrims), Maurice R. Greenberg, Lynn Forester de Rothschild, Jacob Wallenberg, Alan Greenspan and David Rockefeller (Pilgrims). That's rather odd. Then again, when Palast is confronted with 9/11 Truth questions things start making sense again. He can see the curious link between the Bushes and Saudis, just as Michael Moore and everyone else, but that is where he stops being rational and really seems to be lying (considering there's a ton of testimony, visual and auditory evidence for explosives at the WTC). Palast: "We spent a long time very carefully looking at that [controlled demolition] and that just didn't happen. … When I say there's zero evidence, there's just stone cold nothing there. Now, I’m sorry Lenny, that's all I can tell ya. … We have to be very careful when we talk about 9/11 Truth … that we don't come up with these goofball theories that are so easily disprovable that they discredit questions raised about this administration."

It's possible to list at least another dozen examples. So it looks like nothing is as it seems... In some cases it's easy to see which establishment is being protected. In other cases this is less clear. But certainly there's a lot going on in this world that we have absolutely no clue about. Hope this quick update has enlightened you some more.
