[John Galt]

I just reviewed the list, and appears there were exactly 25 attendees from the United States. Due to the number and extent of spelling errors, it's obvious that the names were delivered verbally and not via a formal written list.

To make the list of US attendees easier to digest and research, I have compiled the below with correctly spelled names and links to their wikipedia pages. In alphabetical order:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Beatrix

Beatrix of the Netherlands

Honors
Queen Beatrix is Grand Master of the Military Order of William (Militaire Willemsorde) and the other Dutch orders of merit. She is also the 975th Member and Lady of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, a Dame of the Order of the Elephant (Elefantordenen) and has received numerous other medals and decorations. Among them she is the 1,187th Dame of the Order of the Golden Fleece in Spain.

Beatrix is an honorary member of the Club of Rome.[10]

Personal wealth

It has long been stated that the queens of the Netherlands were the richest women in the world. Even in the 2005 Forbes website report, the Queen's family wealth was estimated at $4.7 billion. Queen Juliana had sold the remaining royal palaces and had put the cultural assets (paintings, antiques, books, etc.) into non-personal trusts. Queen Beatrix's personal wealth is now estimated to exceed $5.5 billion.

Expenditure on the Royal House is governed by the Royal House Finances Act (1972). There are three categories of expenditure:

Allowances paid to the Queen, the Prince of Orange and Princess Máxima, totalling some €5.6 million in 2006.[14]
Official expenses incurred in the performance of official duties and included in the budget of the most relevant ministry. They will total some €22.5 million in 2006.
Other expenses relating to the management of the royal household. Under the Royal House Finances Act, they are not included in the budget of the royal household. They will total some €71.7 million in 2006.

Apeldoorn car attack

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqSofdeNIDY
On Koninginnedag April 30, 2009, The Queen and the royal family were targeted by an attack by a man called Karst Tates who drove his car into a parade in Apeldoorn. Five people were killed initially; a sixth victim and the assailant Tates died later, other victims of the crash are in a critical life threatening situation. One week after the attack another victim had succumbed to sustained injuries. The royal party were unharmed, but The Queen and members of her family saw the crash at close range and were visibly shaken. Within hours, Queen Beatrix made a rare televised address to express her shock and condolences. The man apparently told police he was deliberately targeting the royal family. He said he was recently unemployed and was about to be evicted.[9] It is thought to be the first physical attack on Dutch royalty in modern times.

Political involvement and marriage
Her appearance on the political scene was almost immediately marked by controversy. In 1965, Princess Beatrix became engaged to the German aristocrat Claus von Amsberg, a diplomat working for the German Foreign Office. Their marriage caused a massive protest during the wedding day in Amsterdam on 10 March 1966. Prince Claus had served in the Hitler Youth and the Wehrmacht and was, therefore, associated by a part of the Dutch population with German Nazism. Protests included such memorable slogans as "Claus 'raus!" (Claus out!) and "Mijn fiets terug" (Give me back my bike), a reference to the memory of occupying German soldiers confiscating Dutch bicycles. A smoke bomb was thrown at the wedding carriage by a group of Provos causing a violent street battle with the police. As time went on, however, Prince Claus became one of the most popular members of the Dutch monarchy and his 2002 death was widely mourned. { RRRiiggghhhttt )

Bilderberg, Shadow Super-government: ROYAL DUTCH SHELL CONNECTIONS
Jun 5th, 2008 by John Donovan.

Queen Sofia of Spain (Greece-UK) - King Juan Carlos of Spain

http://wapedia.mobi/en/Queen_Sofia_of_Spain

Princess Sophia of Greece and Denmark was born in Psychiko, Athens, Greece on 2 November 1938, the eldest child of the King Paul I of the Hellenes (1901-1964) and his wife, Queen Frederika (1917-1981), a former princess of Hanover. Queen Sofia is a member of the Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg dynasty. Her brother is the deposed king Constantine II of Greece and her sister Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark.

Ancestry
Queen Sofía is both a great-great-granddaughter (paternally) and a great-great-great-granddaughter (maternally) of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and is, through several lines, her husband's third cousin. Because of this descent, she is also related to all of the royal families of Europe.

On 14 May 1962 Princess Sophia of Greece and Denmark married in Athens at the Church of Saint Dennis. Prince Juan Carlos of Spain, the future king, whom she met on a cruise of the Greek Islands in 1954. In doing so, she relinquished her rights to the throne of Greece and converted to Roman Catholicism from Greek Orthodoxy, an act of convenience in order to become more palatable to Catholic Spain.

Religion: Roman Catholic prev. Greek Orthodox

Juan Carlos

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Carlos_I_of_Spain

Juan Carlos was born in Rome, where King Alfonso XIII and other members of the Spanish royal family had settled following the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic in 1931. His early life was dictated largely by the political concerns of his father and General Franco. He moved to Spain in 1948 to be educated there after his father persuaded Franco to allow this. He began his studies in San Sebastián and finished them in 1954 at the San Isidro Institute in Madrid. He then joined the army, doing his officer training from 1955 to 1957 at the Military Academy of Zaragoza.

In March 1956, Juan Carlos's younger brother Alfonso died in a gun accident at the family's home Villa Giralda in Estoril, Portugal. The Spanish Embassy in Portugal issued an official communiqué:[5]

Ancestors
King Juan Carlos I is a direct descendant of many famous European rulers from different countries. He is a descendant of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom through his grandmother, Victoria Eugenie; of Louis XIV of France through the House of Bourbon; of the Emperor Charles V, who belonged to the Habsburg dynasty of the Holy Roman Empire; and of the House of Savoy of Italy. The Capetian dynasty to which he belongs is the oldest in Europe. Some of his distant ancestors include Joan, Duchess of Burgundy and queen consort of Philip VI of France, and Lorenzo de' Medici, the Florentine statesman better known as "Lorenzo the Magnificent" (Lorenzo il Magnifico).

http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/f21/wealth-of-the-spanish-royals-7050.html

King Juan Carlos was dirt poor when he ascended to the throne. Instead of delving into his ancestors history, he has - through the generosity of others - been able to enrich himself.

He is said to have obtained 100 million Euro's from the Saudi King Fahd, and the same amount from a Kuwaiti source. It is thought that the principle will not have to be repaid. It is said he receives a royalty on oil products that enter Spain from Saudi Arabia.
He has also been enriched by Marc Rich, and was apparently instrumental in getting a pardon from Bill Clinton.
His wealth today is estimated as 1.7 billion Euro's.
(Not a bad return).
....
The February 2003 edition of the magazine Euro Business publishes the list of the 300 richest people of Europe, specifying their patrimony, company and sector.

According to this publication, the number 112 of the rank is shared ex aequo by the Italian chocolate businessman, Michel Ferrero, and king Juan Carlos I, with a patrimony estimated in 1.700.000.000 € (280.000.000.000 pesetas). According to Euro Business, “the richness of King Juan Carlos is born from the funds that were sent abroad, during Franquism, by the monarchists who were then preparing the democratic restoration. Few Spaniards know how really rich is the king of Spain", who possesses profits, collections of art and vast properties all over Europe.

Besides that, the magazine continues saying: "And after all, he is the man who works with a mere budget of 7.000.000 €, just a seventh part of the income offered to the British queen", with which he has to cover all the expenses of the Royal House.

[John Galt]

If I'm not mistaken, he also does/did make rounds on the other news networks as well. He's also been on Jon Stewart and other nightly talk shows a few times as well.

Relating to Bilderberger, Trilateral Commission member, and talk show personality Fareed Zakaria, this story/video was posted today at prisonplanet.com:

Oh wow...I did NOT know that! Like I was discussing with someone else on another thread - when someone all of a sudden becomes an *overnight sensation* in the MSM, a RED FLAG goes up right there!(i.e. this Lt. Dave Grossman guy who rose to popularity, after the Columbine shootings, with his "findings" over how violent video games and movies that are exposed to kids cause them to become violent)

This Zakaria guy is the same - who went from a lonely Newsweek reporter to having his own show on one of the big networks.

[John Galt]

Update to the running list of U.S. attendees to the Bilderberg 2009 meeting:

* Add George David - Chairman and former CEO of United Technologies Corp, Citigroup board member (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_David) Appears there were 2 George Davids in attendance (the other being Pres of Coca-Cola in Greece), which is the likely reason for the confusion on previous lists.
* Potential Delete - Henry Kravis. His wife was in attendance, but I've only seen one list where Henry is also included. Henry is almost always in attendance at Bilderberg meetings, but perhaps the one list that included him this year was confusing he and his wife so simply listed both.

So, as it appears now, there were either 26 or 27 Logan violators from the U.S.

On Rockefeller - please read:

In 1941 another Rockefeller front organization, the Institute for Pacific Relations (IPR) gave large sums to its Japanese counterpart in Tokyo. The money was then funneled to a member of the imperial family by Richard Sorge, a Russian master-spy, for the purposes of inducing Japan to attack the United States at Pearl Harbor. Again, Tavistock was the originator of all of IPR's publications.

http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Institute-of-Pacific-Relations
Encyclopedia > Institute of Pacific Relations

The Institute of Pacific Relations (IPR) was established in 1925 to provide a forum for discussion of Asian problems and relations between Asia and the West. To promote greater knowledge of the Far East, the IPR established a large research program, which was supported financially by grants from the Rockefeller Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation, and other major corporations. While the IPR leadership maintained it was a nonpartisan body, others, including some former members, accused it of supporting the Communist line with respect to its analysis of political developments in the Far East.

The 1952 Senate Internal Security Subcommittee (SISS) reviewed some 20,000 documents from the files of IPR, including letters, memoranda, minutes and reports The finding was beyond all doubt, that the IPR was a vehicle for pro-Communist leverage on American policy in China, a strikingly different conclusion than that reached by the Tydings Committee. The Senate Internal Security Subcommittee or more commonly know as SISS was a key player in the role of finding communists during the McCarthy era in America. ...

Big Daddy David Rockefeller:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Rockefeller
Excerpts:

Bilderberg, Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission

A lifelong globalist, due to the strong influence of his father, he had at an early age further spread his connections when he was invited to attend the inaugural elitist Bilderberg Group meetings, starting with the Holland gathering in 1954. He has been a consistent attendee through the decades and has been a member of the "steering committee", which determines the invitation list for the upcoming annual meetings. These have frequently included prominent national figures who have gone on to be elected as political leaders of their respective countries including Bill Clinton who first attended in 1991.

David Rockefeller joined the Council on Foreign Relations as its youngest-ever director in 1949 and subsequently became chairman of the board from 1970 to 1985; today he serves as honorary chairman.[36]

In 2002 Rockefeller authored his autobiography “Memoirs” wherein, on page 405," Mr. Rockefeller writes: “For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as "internationalists" and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."

Rockefeller maintains that, although Bilderberg's role is not to resolve disputes, because of the wide-ranging experience of the various attendees participants are 'free to report on what they have heard' to their respective heads of government.[37]

It was a dissatisfaction with the failure of this group to include Japan that subsequently led to him forming the Trilateral Commission (TC) in July 1973, influenced by, among others, Zbigniew Brzezinski, the National Security Advisor under Carter and the author of Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era, published in 1970. They discussed forming the organization at a Bilderberg Group meeting in Belgium in 1972; Brzezinski subsequently became the inaugural United States director. The Commission also launched its own magazine, the Trialogue.

Family

Following the deaths of his brothers, John D III in 1978, Nelson in 1979, and Laurance in 2004, David became sole head of the family (with the important involvement of his son, David Jr.), and hence of Room 5600, the family office based on the 56th floor of the landmark GE Building in Rockefeller Center.

David ensured that selected members of the fourth generation, known generically as the cousins, also became directly involved in the family's institutions, including Room 5600 and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the principal foundation established in 1940 by the five brothers and their one sister. They also became involved in their own philanthropic organisation, formed in 1967 and primarily established by third-generation members, called the Rockefeller Family Fund.

Wealth and hobbies
He possesses a famous Rolodex in his office in Room 5600, which he started in the 1940s. It is described as a unique, massive four-foot-by-five-foot gold wheel contraption, containing up to 150,000 entries of the most powerful people in the world.[48]

His net wealth is estimated at 2.2 billion dollars, ranking him within the 300 richest people in the world.[49] Initially, most of his wealth had come to him via the family Trusts that his father had set up, which were administered by Room 5600 and the Chase Bank. In turn, most of these Trusts were held as shares in the successor companies of Standard Oil, as well as diverse real estate investment partnerships, such as the expansive Embarcadero Center in San Francisco, which he later sold for considerable profit, retaining only an indirect stake. In addition, he is or has been a partner in various properties such as a 4,000-acre (16 km2) resort development in the Virgin Islands and a cattle ranch in Argentina, as well as a 15,500-acre (63 km2) sheep ranch in Australia.[50]

Christoph Blocher - Swiss - A tool for Controlled opposition? was he at Bilderberg because of UBS? He just does'nt seem to fit the Bilderberg model.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christoph_Blocher

Christoph Blocher (born 11 October 1940, Schaffhausen, Switzerland) is a Swiss politician, industrialist, and former member of the Swiss Federal Council heading the Federal Department of Justice and Police (2004-2007). Currently he is serving as Vice President of the Swiss People's Party. As an industrialist, he made a fortune in the chemical industry with the EMS-Chemie corporation.

Political career
Blocher built his political career through campaigning for smaller government, for a free-market economy, against Switzerland's membership in the European Union and for more tightly controlled immigration. He represented the canton of Zürich in the Swiss National Council from 1980 until his election to the federal council in 2003 as a deputy of the Swiss People's Party (Schweizerische Volkspartei/Union démocratique du centre; SVP/UDC). In addition to the Zürich chapter of the Swiss People's Party, he led a mass organisation, the Action for an Independent and Neutral Switzerland (Aktion für eine unabhängige und neutrale Schweiz). He has frequently been compared by the media and his political opponents to figures such as Jean-Marie Le Pen and Jörg Haider.

Blocher is leader of the party's nationalist wing, which dominates the party's delegation to the National Council

Future
After the extremely large 2007/2008 losses posted by UBS, its chairman Marcel Ospel resigned on April 1st, 2008, and Mr. Blocher was rumoured to be considered as his replacement [7][8]. However the role went to Peter Kurer, the bank’s general counsel.

Profile: Christoph Blocher
October 2007
The billionaire industrialist's right-wing Swiss People's Party (SVP) is expected to win the most votes in elections on 21 October, rounding off a campaign that the United Nations described as blatantly racist.

The party has depicted Switzerland as a society under siege from immigrants who have scant regard for the country's laws and customs.

Many voters appear to be impressed by the skilled oratory of Mr Blocher, 67, seeing him as the epitome of a stern leader stepping forward to safeguard Swiss values.

Mr Blocher, currently justice minister, was quick to make political capital out of rioting that erupted at an SVP election rally in Bern. Left-wing protesters clashed with police, adding to the unusually edgy atmosphere of this Swiss election.
...
Mr Blocher has been a dominant force since as early as 1986, arranging campaigns and referendums to keep Switzerland out of international organisations.
...
In 1983 he bought the Swiss plastics and polymers giant EMS Chemie.

He has since made a fortune with the company, recently estimated by US business magazine Forbes at $1.4bn, and is the ninth richest person in Switzerland.

Mr Blocher first rose to fame 17 years ago, when he founded a lobby group, the Campaign for an Independent and Neutral Switzerland (CINS).

Daniel Vasella Biography

http://www.notablebiographies.com/newsmakers2/2005-Pu-Z/Vasella-Daniel.html

Chief Executive Officer of Novartis

Born in 1953 in Fribourg, Switzerland; son of Oskar (a history professor) Vasella; married Anne-Laurence, 1978; children: one daughter, two sons. Education: University of Bern, M.D., 1979.

Addresses: Office—Novartis International AG, CH-4002 Basel, Switzerland.

Career
Doctor, University of Bern, 1984-88; joined Sandoz Pharma, 1988; named chief executive officer of Sandoz Pharma, 1994; named chief executive officer of Novartis, 1996; named chairman of Novartis, 1999; co-authored Magic Cancer Bullet: How a Tiny Orange Pill is Rewriting Medical History, 2003.

Awards: Named one of the world's "100 Most Influential People" by Time, 2004; voted Europe's most influential business leader of the last 25 years by readers of the Financial Times; Pharmaceutical Executive of the Year, Pharmaceutical Achievement Awards, 2004.

Sidelights
In eight years, Daniel Vasella went from being a doctor to becoming the head of Novartis, one of the world's biggest drug companies. He has managed the company with a doctor's interest in research into new treatments and a tough-minded businessman's aggressive, innovative thinking. Thanks to his leadership, Novartis has released a

Daniel Vasella drug that fights a rare cancer without hurting healthy cells, and his company has dozens of new drugs almost ready for market at a time when competitors are running low on new products. In early 2005, he led Novartis in a bold move into the generic drug market, again showing his competitive streak and calculated risk-taking.

Vasella, who was born in Switzerland in 1953, had to face illness and death at a young age. He came down with tuberculosis and meningitis as a child. When he was ten, his older sister died of cancer. Three years later, his father, Oskar, a history professor, died of complications from surgery. He says watching his sister fight her illness led to his interest in medicine, and he went to the University of Bern Medical School. (Another sister, who went to medical school with him, died in an accident in 1982.)

After getting his medical degree, Vasella worked in pathology and internal medicine, eventually becoming the University of Bern's chief resident. But he was developing an interest in business, so he left the hospital to join the drug company Sandoz Pharma, where his wife's uncle was chief executive officer. He started working at the Sandoz office in New Jersey, where he became product manager for an anti-pancreatic cancer drug. He knew that his success depended on the drug's success, so he had researchers, production chemists, and marketers work together to find new uses for the drug, instead of the usual practice of the three groups working in isolation. They discovered that it could also treat the side effects of certain cancers, and its sales skyrocketed.

Returning to Switzerland in 1993, Vasella worked in top corporate positions, using the methods he had developed with the cancer drug on all of Sandoz's drug-development efforts. He became CEO of Sandoz in 1994, and when Sandoz merged with rival Ciba-Geigy to form Novartis in 1996, Vasella was named the new company's CEO. His family ties to Sandoz made some feel he had gotten the job out of nepotism, but others disagree. "To anyone who followed the company at the time, Dan was the live wire," SG Cowen analyst Peter Laing told Unmesh Kher of Time. "He had the most international outlook, and there really wasn't anyone at Ciba to challenge him."

Making the new company work was difficult. Sandoz had a hierarchical leadership style that Vasella thought discouraged initiative, while the culture at Ciba seemed to discourage strong decision-making. Both companies had started off as chemical companies and gone into drug manufacturing; now, they were pharmaceutical companies that still had some chemical production business left over. Vasella reorganized the company, laying off 12,500 workers and firing several managers, and formed a venture fund that helped ex-employees start new businesses. For a while, when Vasella would travel to Novartis offices around the world, he would fire managers immediately if he did not like what they did or said, until he was told that workers had started to fear his visits. "Now I ask that they not be fired until several weeks after I come back" to Switzerland, he told the Wall Street Journal.

At first, success was slow to come. Novartis' sales increased only slightly in 1998 and 1999. Vasella invested in life sciences with the idea that new biotechnology would link the drug business with agricultural and nutritional products. But the life sciences market floundered. Vasella realized it and abandoned his goal. Novartis sold off its agricultural arm in 2000.

At the time, Novartis' competitors in the pharmaceutical industry dismissed it "as a sleepy European giant without the marketing and sales firepower to compete in the U.S.," wrote Kerry Capell of BusinessWeek. But thanks to Vasella's decision to spend heavily on research and marketing, Novartis scored a huge success when it released the cancer drug Gleevec in May of 2001.

Gleevec worked on relatively rare forms of cancer such as chronic myeloid leukemia and gastrointestinal stromal tumors. But the way it works is unique and promising. It is the first drug that had been proven to destroy a certain kind of tumor. Other cancer drugs destroy healthy cells and cancer cells alike, but Gleevec attacks the proteins that make tumors grow.

Vasella's leadership was a key ingredient in Gleevec's success. According to the magazine Chief Executive, after the Sandoz/Ciba-Geigy merger, Vasella talked to some Ciba-Geigy researchers, who told him about the drug compound that eventually became Gleevec. Although it seemed the drug would only appeal to a narrow market because it treated a rare disease, Vasella pushed for testing and production of it to move forward and personally answered the letters from cancer patients who asked to be included in the trials.

In 2003, Vasella told the story in a book, Magic Cancer Bullet: How a Tiny Orange Pill is Rewriting Medical History, co-written with Robert Slater. Clifton Leaf, a writer for Fortune, called the book "a heroic saga," attracted to the story of a corporate culture championing a life-saving drug. Publishers Weekly acknowledged it was an inspiring story, but complained that the book "reads largely as an extended press release for Novartis" because of its "repetition and stilted writing" and lack of "the details and depth of feeling needed to make that story come alive."

As CEO, Vasella is known for putting a lot of money into research and development. In 2004, Novartis was spending $3 billion on research, or 19 percent of its drug sales, compared to an industry standard of 13 to 16 percent. He moved the company's research and development headquarters from Basel, Switzerland, to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to take advantage of the Boston area's heavy concentration of medical researchers and personally recruited a top scientist from Harvard Medical School to run the lab. As a doctor, Vasella can oversee research better than other drug company CEOs, his admirers say, because he can ask his research teams complex questions.

Relying so much on research and development (as opposed to, say, acquiring other companies and their patents) is risky for a pharmaceutical company because it means betting on rare successes to come out of its labs. But so far, Vasella's approach is paying off. Novartis moves its drugs through research and development in two-thirds the time of the average drug company, in part thanks to a strategy of testing a drug on several diseases at once. It had 64 drugs in the medium or late stages of development in 2004, compared to 37 and 14 at competitors Roche and Merck, respectively.

Vasella's accomplishments are more striking in comparison to his competitors, who have struggled with decreased profits and competition from generic drugs. Novartis "has had to face many of the same issues bedeviling its peers, including expiring patents on big-selling drugs," according to the Wall Street Journal. "But Dr. Vasella has steered the company through these problems, in large part by jettisoning its staid Swiss culture and transforming the firm into a bare-knuckled, American-style marketing powerhouse,"—a reference to his strategy for getting company researchers and marketers to work together to create more effective marketing strategies for products. For instance, the company dropped an ineffective ad for Lamisil, Novartis' treatment for fungal infections, and created a brochure salesmen could give to doctors about the condition. Sales of Lamisil went up afterward. "I love Switzerland and I think people know that I'm patriotic," Vasella told Harris. "But this is about making decisions that are essential to the business. We are going to be as, or even more, American as any company."

Vasella's success has won him a lot of praise. In 2004, Time named Vasella one of the world's "100 Most Influential People," the only drug company executive on the list. Readers of the Financial Times selected him as the most influential business leader in Europe in the last 25 years. Capell of Business-Week wrote that he is "an unusual mix: an aggressive manager who still keeps something of the gentle bedside manner he developed as a general practitioner." Vasella also has a casual, calm persona; Capell described him as "an unbuttoned type who likes roaring around the Swiss countryside on his BMW bike."

To build on his achievements, Vasella moved to expand Novartis. He tripled its United States sales force to 6,200, seeing the United States—the world's most lucrative drug market—as key to the company's future. He also acquired some North American companies. He bought a majority stake in Idenix Pharmaceuticals of Cambridge, Massachusetts, which was working on new drugs to treat hepatitis B and C, for $225 million, and bought Sabex, a Canadian drug company, for more than $500 million.

Many business analysts expected Vasella to make a big move to merge with another major company, but he came back empty-handed from his hunt for a big deal. He looked longingly at Roche, also based in Basel, and began buying its stock, but Roche's CEO and the family who owns the majority stake in the company were opposed to a merger. As of early 2005, Novartis had only managed to acquire 33 percent of Roche. He also pursued a merger with French drug company Aventis, but he backed off after the French government, preferring that the company remain French, put up hurdles to a deal.

In January of 2005, as Novartis announced record profits and sales for 2004, Vasella got the drug industry's attention by speaking out about recent scandals involving other companies' patented drugs. He warned his competitors, who had been accused of not releasing enough research information about side effects, that they needed to become more open. But he also told critics of the drug industry to back off from calls to ease patent protection. That, he said, would discourage companies from researching new drugs, hurting patients in the long run.

The next month, Novartis made a bold move. It became the world's biggest maker of generic drugs by spending $8.3 billion to buy Hexal, a German company that makes generic pharmaceuticals, and Eon Labs, Hexal's United States affiliate. The generic drug market is expected to be lucrative in the next several years, as patents on many popular drugs worth tens of billions of dollars expire. Novartis says it is pursuing a third route to success, instead of focusing only on patented drugs or diversifying by going into other medical technologies, the usual strategies of major pharmaceutical companies.

Vasella, whose salary was about $2.6 million in 2004, believes Novartis has a bright future. The company predicted that by 2008 or 2009, it should have eight blockbuster drugs on the market—that is, drugs with annual sales of $1 billion or more. In early 2005, it had five. The possible future drugs include the first pill to fight multiple sclerosis, a new asthma treatment, and drugs to fight cancers and high blood pressure.

*SWE Wallenberg, Jacob (Chairman, Investor AB)
SWE Wallenberg, Marcus

http://www.whartonzurich07.com/bio-s-wallenberg2.html

Biography of Jacob Wallenberg, W’80, WG’81

14 October 2006
The Economist

They have had their ups and downs, but kept the family firm together for 150 years. Now the Wallenbergs once again consider reinventing their business.

“THEY are a bit like royalty,” says Peter Thelin, a manager at Brummer & Partners, a Swedish hedge fund. He is describing the Wallenbergs, whose business counts as his most aristocratic investment. The Wallenbergs have been around a long time—even longer than the Bernadottes, the royal family who came to Sweden in the early 19th century when one of Napoleon's marshals was adopted as heir by an ageing Swedish king. But it was under the House of Bernadotte that the Wallenbergs rose to prominence and now run one of the world's most successful family firms.

By the late 1990s the Wallenbergs controlled some 40% of the value of the companies listed on the Swedish stock exchange. Their interests range from Ericsson, a leading telecoms firm, to Astra Zeneca, a pharmaceuticals company now listed in London, Electrolux, a white-goods manufacturer, and ABB, a global engineering giant. After Volkswagen, the family is also the second-biggest shareholder in Sweden's Scania, for which Germany's MAN, a rival truckmaker, has made a euro9.6 billion ($12 billion) hostile bid. There is little that happens in Swedish business that does not involve the Wallenbergs.

What is the secret of their success? The family employs professional managers and has not been afraid to change. Some believe their next reincarnation could be as a private company. Despite denials that this strategy has been discussed, the Wallenbergs have the resources to buy back the shares of Investor, their main company. Moreover, they are making more private-equity investments.

Another generation

Moving with the times has helped the Wallenbergs before and could do so again. Few family businesses manage to survive beyond the third generation. A failure to develop the founder's business, together with disputes over dividing up the spoils, usually does in most family firms. Not the Wallenbergs, where the fifth generation hopes to hand over to the sixth.

The family quickly points to one factor that helps hold their enterprise together: “No one owns it, which means that we cannot consume it though we can certainly destroy it,” says Jacob Wallenberg, chairman of Investor. Most of the family's wealth is tied up in the Wallenberg foundations, which have combined assets of some SKr45 billion ($6.2 billion). These non-profit organisations provide grants of about SKr1 billion a year to science, research and the arts in Sweden. The foundations control 46% of votes at Investor and hold 22% of its capital, as well as owning big chunks of SAS, the main Scandinavian airline, Stora Enso, a huge paper company, and SKF, a maker of bearings.

The first and biggest of these foundations was set up in 1917 by childless Knut Wallenberg as a tax-saving way to keep the family wealth together. “Our first responsibility”, says Jacob Wallenberg, “is to return capital to the researchers of this nation.” Nor has the family confined itself to business. It has given Sweden a foreign minister, a Davis Cup player and Raoul Wallenberg, a hero of the second world war who rescued Hungarian Jews.

This year is the 150th anniversary of Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken (SEB), one of the Nordic region's biggest banks. It was founded by André Wallenberg and marks the start of the empire. Investor was set up 90 years ago for SEB's equity holdings in response to a law restricting banks' ownership of shares. Marcus Wallenberg (pictured on the left with his first cousin Jacob), is chairman of SEB. Both turn 50 this year.

Each generation of the Wallenbergs has done something to reinvent the family business. André Wallenberg was the financier of Sweden's industrialisation. Knut and his brother steered the family firm through the 1920s, when Sweden was badly hit by a global recession. Marcus Wallenberg, the tennis champion and grandfather of the present Marcus, ran the shop like an old-time industrialist—an apt strategy when post-war Europe was being resurrected. Peter Wallenberg, Jacob's father, became Investor's chairman in the 1980s and transformed it into a diversified investment company.

The present Marcus Wallenberg is driving the latest modernisation. He believes that the internet is for him the equivalent of the bet his grandfather placed on aviation. Marcus senior invested in Saab after the company was created in 1937. By 1946, he had sold out of railways altogether to concentrate on planes.

Marcus junior invested in Spray Networks, a Swedish internet portal, but this was a disaster. He also co-financed Bredbandsbolaget (B2), a provider of broadband and phone services. This too seemed to have failed, but Investor continued to back the company and last year it sold B2 to Telenor, a Norwegian media group, for a healthy profit.

Yet the outcome of Marcus Wallenberg's boldest technology investment is still uncertain. In 2000 he agreed to build 3 Scandinavia, a provider of third-generation mobile-phone services, in a joint venture with Hong Kong's Hutchison Whampoa. It is still leaking money, because subscribers are not switching to its services as fast as expected. The Wallenbergs agreed to fund 3 Scandinavia until 2008, when it is expected to break even. By then they will have paid between SKr8 billion and SKr10 billion for their 40% stake. If the firm is still in the red, will they let it go?

Loyal to a fault

The family takes pride in sticking to its companies through thick and thin, but says it will not hesitate to sell when prospects seem permanently dim. When Marcus senior switched from trains to planes, he wrote in a letter to his brother that this meant “a shift from the past to the future, which has been the family motto in previous generations, and is the only tradition worth keeping”. These values have not changed, says the younger Marcus. In the 1930s, Investor sold its coal and coke business because other forms of energy were being more widely used. And in the 1980s the Wallenbergs lost confidence in basic chemicals and got out of Kema Nobel.

Even so, loyalty and belief in the long term remain pillars of the Wallenberg way of doing business. Firms in the family sphere benefit from a network of carefully fostered contacts. Their bosses swap experiences and help each other search for talented executives. In return, the companies reward the Wallenbergs with multiple-voting shares and board seats. No important appointment is made without them. But this has its detractors and some suspect that the Wallenbergs concentrate more on preserving their powerful network than on the interests of Investor's 130,000 other shareholders.

“People say the Wallenbergs are only kingmakers,” fumes Jacob Wallenberg in response. They are not, he insists, and take part in all important decisions on company strategy. Moreover, the family intends to become more actively involved, even though its stakes in some companies are likely to get smaller as a result of mergers among global operators.

Today Investor has the biggest, or one of the biggest, shareholdings in ten blue-chip companies (see chart). But if Investor is to continue to thrive, it needs to do something about its investment discount. The company trades on average at some 25% less than the combined market value of its holdings, minus their share of debt. The firm's current market value is SKr119 billion. Although the discount is lower than it has been it is still “the biggest weakness of the Wallenberg empire,” says Mr Thelin, the hedge-fund manager. The discount restricts the ability to issue new equity to pay for big acquisitions.

The reason for the discount is the use of dual-class shares. Raffi Amit, who specialises in family firms at the Wharton business school, says that although dual-class shares give families more control, they tend to diminish the value of a corporation because other shareholders suspect the controlling family will grab special benefits for themselves or initiate strategic moves that help their business interests, but not those of other investors.

Perhaps the Wallenbergs should end their multiple-voting shares, especially as they are regularly under fire from Anglo-Saxon investors. But Sweden has long resisted this because some two-thirds of its listed companies have them and it helps keep firms under Swedish ownership in an open economy. Eight of Investor's core investments contain high-voting stock. Only the Anglo-Swedish AstraZeneca and the Swiss-Swedish ABB have converted to one vote per share. At Ericsson, the 1,000-fold voting rights of the Wallenbergs' A shares were reduced in 2004 to ten times the voting rights of B shares.

Jacob Wallenberg is a combative defender of multiple-voting shares. In his opinion, the Wallenbergs deserve their special rights because of their role in the foundation and development of the companies they have put their money into. Dual-class shares promote corporate Sweden's tradition of strong and involved ownership, says Rolf Carlsson, a management consultant. He thinks the system may survive at firms where Swedish ownership is considered important.

The actions of the Wallenbergs' managers have helped to reduce the discount. So far, SEB is thriving under its newish chief executive, Annika Falkengren. Börje Ekholm took over as chief executive of Investor in September last year after running Investor Growth Capital, the venture-capital arm in New York. Compared with the patrician Wallenbergs, Mr Ekholm cuts a bolder, more hands-on figure. He has certainly been busy making changes.

In May he joined forces with EQT, a Swedish private-equity company, to buy out Gambro, a Swedish medical-technology company. In June he pushed for the spin-off of Husqvarna, a maker of chainsaws and other outdoor equipment, from Electrolux. And in August he sold Investor's stake in WM-Data Nordic, an information-technology consultancy. The deals continue. Apart from the unresolved Scania bid, Atlas Copco recently agreed to sell most of its construction-equipment rental business, also to private-equity investors, for $3.8 billion.

Mr Ekholm intends to look at riskier, but more lucrative, unlisted investments, which now make up 16% of Investor's net asset value. Investor has become a big investor in private equity through its part-ownership of EQT and Investor Capital Partners, a subsidiary based in Hong Kong. Through Investor Growth Capital it finances fledgling companies in health care and technology in America. And it is the owner of other unlisted firms, such as Novare, a head hunter, and Stockholm's Grand Hotel. The advantage of these assets, says Mr Ekholm, is that “our work with them only benefits our investors”.

What to buy?

Investor is sitting on a pile of cash and is nearly debt-free. Stockholm's financial circle hums with speculation about what Mr Ekholm might do with this money. He could make a big acquisition or buy back shares. Mr Ekholm says he will look for takeover targets in financial services, technology, health care and engineering. But neither does he rule out a share buy-back.

Could he take all of Investor private and transform it into a gigantic private-equity firm? Simon Blecher, of HQ Fonder, an investment fund, calculates that the company could mobilise some SKr25 billion immediately and release another SKr40 billion in the short term, which could go a long way towards a buyout. Investor could then re-list some of its private-equity funds. This has worked for Ratos, a middle-sized Swedish investment firm, which used to trade at a big discount. Ratos now trades at a premium. Mr Ekholm, though, denies that the Wallenbergs have ever discussed taking Investor private.

The next generation, however, is waiting in the wings. The Wallenberg cousins have 11 children between them. “Of course it would be wonderful if they were interested,” says Jacob Wallenberg. It is what the family expects. But if the sixth generation takes up the reins it will have its own ideas about the future of the family firm.

There has been a theory that the purpose of the Bilderberg meetings is mostly about what "certain people" were going to do with all the WWII war booty that was under there control....

More on the Wallenberg’s:

http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/vjw/Sweden.html

Holocaust Period
Sweden was involved in many efforts to save Jews from Nazi brutality and murder. In 1942, Sweden allowed the immigration of 900 Norwegian Jews. In October 1943, Sweden gave asylum to more than 8,000 Danish Jews, the whole Danish Jewish community, which came to Sweden via small fishing boats. Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg saved thousands of Hungarian Jews in Budapest. Also, Count Folke Bernadotte helped bring Jews and non-Jews out of concentration camps.

Wallenberg

Sweden also profited from the Holocaust. It is known that Wallenberg’s relatives made money converting Nazi gold into Swedish crowns and that Sweden provided iron ore and ball bearings to the Nazis. Swedish documents reveal that some Swedes actually sided with the Nazis and volunteered to fight for Hitler. Some Swedes were members of the Waffen SS and served in police batallions.

A committee was established by the Swedish government in 1997 to investigate the transfer of Nazi gold to Sweden during the war. It is reported that Sweden received 38 tons of gold from Nazi Germany (worth today US $430 million). Many Swedish companies, such as Ericsson, AGA and Hasselblad Cameras, as well as the country’s paper and wood industries traded with Nazi Germany. Swedish jewelers bought stolen diamonds, which were smuggled into Sweden by civil servants working at the German legation in Stockholm.

The Rich List

Emigrating to the UK in the 1950s and 60s, Cypriots thought the streets there were paved with gold. Although that wasn’t true, some have since created great wealth. But who are the ten wealthiest Greek Cypriots in the UK?

Emigration to Britain from Cyprus reached a peak between the years of 1958 and 1962, during which time a fifth of the current Greek Cypriot population of the UK moved there. Most moved to areas in London, pretty much arriving with only what they had on their backs. Hard work meant that the second and third generation Cypriots had a better life.

And now, the Greek Cypriot community in Britain is considered to be one of the most successful ethnic groups in economic terms. And 85 per cent of those who are on the Greek Rich List (which includes Greeks and Greek Cypriots living in the UK), are self made men (and women).

The list has been compiled by Philip Beresford, who compiles an annual Rich List for the UK, printed by The Times. But who does he list as the richest Greek Cypriots?


1 Alki David & Leventis Family, £1,500m, Industry, 39

Alki David is a member of the prominent Leventis family and his late father, Andrew A. David, was the managing director of the Leventis-David group, a family business that owns bottling plants for Coca-Cola in 28 countries. Alki is reckoned to be the majority shareholder in the business and has set up other companies, additionally featuring in and directing small-scale films including Fishtales, The Good Brother and The Freediver.

The Leventis family has strong links to Cyprus. The Leventis Group was founded by the late Anastasios Leventis, who acquired a Coca-Cola franchise for his trading company in Ghana after WWII. When his Coke bottling plant in Accra was nationalised after independence, Leventis moved his business to Nigeria. The company added the Coca-Cola franchise for Ireland in 1976 and later moved into Greece, the Balkans and Eastern Europe.

The extended Leventis family is undoubtedly very wealthy and supports a huge range of charitable work through the AG Leventis Foundation.

The Guardian, noting that David was bidding to take over Coventry City, the championship football club, in December 2007, put the Leventis family fortune at £4bn. David ultimately pulled out of the Coventry deal, although even the Financial Times referred to him as a ‘Greek billionaire’. The Greek Rich List is slightly more cautious in its assessment of the family fortune and settles for £1.5bn. Buying Coventry City for over £50m (including debt) would have clearly been loose change for David.

So we need to look a little more closely at his uncle A.G. Leventis:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anastasios_George_Leventis

Anastasios George Leventis (December 1902 - October 1978) was a prominent Cypriot businessman who owned a major merchandise trading firm in West Africa.

Career
He started trading at the young age of 18, and rose to become the general manager of G.B. Ollivants in Ghana.[1] In 1937, he left the firm after it was acquired by the United African Company. Leventis then formed his own company and started out as a produce buyer, partly financed by some cotton manufacturers in Britain. In the late 1940s United Kingdom authorities imposed a country by country quota on cotton imported from Africa, which was intended to influence textile and oil seed production in west Africa.

The situation created the impetus for A.G. Leventis to establish a branch in Nigeria. In a few years the company expanded from cotton exports to merchandise trading. By the 1960s his firm had grown remarkably to become one of the largest distributors in Nigeria, rising to pre-eminence as one of the largest merchandise traders in the West African region. In Nigeria, he re-structured the business from general trading into a specialized trading firm and established various department stores in the country. During this period he thrived in the country as a result of the nation's relatively open economy as it was not until the 1970s that economic nationalism became a dominant initiative. His marketing style also endeared the Leventis name to many customers in Nigeria.

Philanthropy
In 1987 the A.G. Leventis Gallery was opened in the British Museum, to display Cypriot antiquities from the early Bronze Age to the Roman era. In 1997, a similar display was opened at the Fitzwilliam Museum, and in 2000 another at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

In 2008 the A. G. Leventis Foundation endowed a new chair at Cambridge University in Greek culture.

Just curious - how often do people in academia attend these meetings? I've only seen a few names, but that's it.

This is  high level stakeholders's Unified Process project management meeting....
World Domination - A Unified Process

So unless the "academic" is fully vett'ed and is required for highlevel opinion and is able to create project-processes to further the goals, forget it.  It is interesting to investigate these people as to what they are up to, foundations, R&D, ...

Engaging Stakeholders

 This first phase of the process is essential for any improvement process. It will help to assure that all the stakeholders understand and believe in the importance of the process. It will include preliminary organizational activities, establishment of reasonable time lines, and setting up an organizational structure of committees that will insure broad involvement in the process. In this toolkit, the term ‘School Community’ will be used to include students, staff, families and community members. The lead group, which can be called the Steering Committee or the Continuous Improvement Team, and the school administration are responsible for establishing this foundation.

The following steps are important for getting effectively organized for a continuous improvement process.
1. Select the Continuous Improvement Team
2. Build an understanding and commitment to the purpose and process of a continuous improvement process with all stakeholders
3. Create committee structures
4. Develop a time line for the process

Paul Volcker: the making of a financial legend

... a figure of unshakable integrity and that almost unheard-of master of Wall Street and Washington finance who has never sought to amass personal wealth. .

I can't find his Net Worth, but like the missionaries who went to Hawaii, "They went to do good and did very well indeed"...

Basically Rockefeller's Banker - Rothschild's helper

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Volcker

Paul Adolph Volcker (born September 5, 1927) is an American economist. He was the Chairman of the Federal Reserve under United States Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan (from August 1979 to August 1987). He is currently chairman of the newly formed Economic Recovery Advisory Board under President Barack Obama.[2]

...

Career
In 1952 he joined the staff of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as a full-time economist. He left that position in 1957 to become a financial economist with the Chase Manhattan Bank. In 1962 he joined the U.S. Treasury Department as director of financial analysis, and in 1963 he became deputy under-secretary for monetary affairs. He returned to Chase Manhattan Bank as vice president and director of planning in 1965.

From 1969 to 1974 Mr. Volcker served as under-secretary of the Treasury for international monetary affairs. He played an important role in the decisions surrounding the U.S. decision to suspend gold convertibility in 1971, which resulted in the collapse of the Bretton Woods system.

In general he acted as a moderating influence on policy, advocating the pursuit of an international solution to monetary problems. After leaving the U.S. Treasury, he became president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York from 1975 to 1979, leaving to take up the chairmanship of the Federal Reserve in August 1979.

In 1975, Mr. Volcker also became a senior fellow in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University.

[edit] Chairman of the Federal Reserve
Paul Volcker, a Democrat[5], was appointed Chairman of the Federal Reserve in August 1979 by President Jimmy Carter and reappointed in 1983 by President Ronald Reagan.[6]

Volcker's Fed is widely credited with ending the United States' stagflation crisis of the 1970s. Inflation, which peaked at 13.5% in 1981, was successfully lowered to 3.2% by 1983.

The federal funds rate, which had averaged 11.2% in 1979, was raised by Volcker to a peak of 20% in June 1981. The prime rate rose to 21.5% in '81 as well. [[1]]

These changes in policy contributed to the significant recession the U.S. economy experienced in the early 1980s, which included the highest unemployment levels since the Great Depression. Volcker's Fed also elicited the strongest political attacks and most wide-spread protests in the history of the Federal Reserve (unlike any protests experienced since 1922), due to the effects of the high interest rates on the construction and farming sectors, culminating in indebted farmers driving their tractors onto C Street NW and blockading the Eccles Building.[7]

Post-Fed
After leaving the Federal Reserve in 1987, he became chairman of the prominent New York investment banking firm, J. Rothschild, Wolfensohn & Co., a corporate advisory and investment firm in New York, run by James D. Wolfensohn, who was later to become president of the World Bank.

In April 2004, the United Nations assigned Volcker to research possible corruption in the Iraqi Oil for Food program. In the report summarising its research, Volcker criticized Kojo Annan, son of UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, and the Swiss company Cotecna Inspection SA, Kojo's employer, for trying to conceal their relationship. He concluded in his March 2005 report that "there is no evidence that the selection of Cotecna in 1998 was subject to improper influence of the Secretary General in the bidding or selection process".[8] However, while Volcker did not implicate the Secretary General in the selection process, he did cast serious doubt on Kofi Annan, whose "management performance...fell short of the standards that the United Nations Organization should strive to maintain."[9] Volcker was a director of the United Nations Association of the United States of America between 2000 and 2004, prior to his being appointed to the Independent Inquiry by Kofi Annan.

As of October 2006, he is the current Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the influential Washington-based financial advisory body, the Group of Thirty, and is a member of the Trilateral Commission. He has had a long association with the Rockefeller family, not only with his positions at Chase Bank and the Trilateral Commission, but also through membership of the Trust Committee of Rockefeller Group, Inc. (RGI), which he joined in 1987. That entity managed, at one time, the Rockefeller Center on behalf of the numerous members of the Rockefeller clan. He currently serves as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the International House in Manhattan, NY. He was a founding member of the Trilateral Commission.

In January 2008, he endorsed Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama for President.[10]

On April 8, 2008, he was the featured speaker at "The Economic Club of New York" and spoke about the issues and causes of the 2008 US recession, and critiqued the 2008 US financial system and the 2008 Federal Reserve policies.[11]

He is today an economic advisor to President Barack Obama.[12][13] Mr. Volcker will head the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board[14].

More on the Bilderberg - Nazi connections - Rockefeller -  France- BIS:

http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Fascism/Trading_Enemy_excerpts.html

As war approached, the links between the Rockefellers and the Nazi government became more and more firm. In 1936 the J. Henry Schroder Bank of New York had entered into a partnership with the Rockefellers. Schroder, Rockefeller and Company, Investment Bankers, was formed as part of an overall company that Time magazine disclosed as being "the economic booster of the Rome-Berlin Axis. " The partners in Schroder, Rockefeller and Company included Avery Rockefeller, nephew of John D., Baron Bruno von Schroder in London, and Kurt von Schroder of the BIS and the Gestapo in Cologne. Avery Rockefeller owned 42 percent of Schroder, Rockefeller, and Baron Bruno and his Nazi cousin 47 percent. Their lawyers were John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles of Sullivan and Cromwell. Allen Dulles (later of the Office of Strategic Services) was on the board of Schroder. Further connections linked the Paris branch of Chase to Schroder as well as the pro-Nazi Worms Bank and Standard Oil of New Jersey in France. Standard Oil's Paris representatives were directors of the Banque de Paris et des Pays-Bas, which had intricate connections to the Nazis and to Chase.

The Chase Nazi Account
p20
The Rockefellers' Chase National Bank (later the Chase Manhattan) was the richest and most powerful financial institution in the United States at the time of Pearl Harbor. The Rockefellers owned Standard Oil of New Jersey, the German accounts of which were siphoned through their own bank, the Chase, as well as through the independent National City Bank of New York, which also handled Standard, Sterling Products, General Aniline and Film, SKF, and ITT, whose chief, Sosthenes Behn, was a director of the N.C.B. Two executives of Standard Oil's German subsidiary were Karl Lindemann and Emil Helfferich, prominent figures in Himmler's Circle of Friends of the Gestapo-its chief financiers-and close friends and colleagues of the BIS's Baron von Schroder.

In May 1940 a prominent diamond merchant in New York City, ~ Leonard Smit, began smuggling commercial and industrial diamonds I to Nazi Germany through Panama. Smit's company was theoretically Dutch, which placed it under the provenance of the Nazis, but its stock was in fact owned by the International Trading Company, which was located in Guernsey in the Channel Islands. President Roosevelt had issued a freezing order precluding the shipment of monies to Europe, especially if these might seem to be to the advantage of the Axis. A few days after the Smit account was frozen, Chase officials unblocked the funds at Smit's request. The funds flowed out to Panama, allowing diamonds to be sent through the Canal Zone to Berlin.

p62
On September 22,1947, Judge Charles Clark delivered the final word on the subject. He said, ''Standard Oil can be considered an enemy national in view of its relationships with I.G. Farben-after the United States and Germany had become active enemies." The appeal was denied.


Interesting connections between Standard Oil (Rockefeller), the Nazi's and the Bushes.


This shows the links between Rockefeller Dulles Forrestal Bush et al. Standard Oil continued to supply the Nazi oil all thru wwII. Much of this oil came from South America. (for Nazi ships and submarines)

http://home.att.net/~m.standridge/rocky.htm#h1

'By February 1945 one-third of the nations on the [South American] continent had not even entered the war, while Dulles's friend, President Juan Peron of Argentina led a bloc of decidedly pro-Fascist countries that were eager to help the architects of the Third Reich escape with their assets intact

1994 publication of Loftus' and Aarons' Secret War Against the Jews . They reveal that Rockefeller was a Nazi sympathizer during World War II. Worse, they reveal, he was a traitor: there are transcripts of telephone conversations between Rockefeller and Nazi agents in South America in which Rockefeller arranged the sale of tons of petroleum products to Nazi Germany. What is really significant about these transcripts is the date: 1943, in the middle of World War II (Loftus and Aarons 270-91).

Like his partner Allen Dulles (attorney of George Bush's father, Prescott Bush, sr., during this same time), Forrestal had been found to have engaged in treason, as well, on a milder level. Although Forrestal loved the U.S. troops and went into battle on the front lines with them, he was busily working with Dulles to arrange a negotiated peace with the Axis, behind FDR's back. (Loftus and Aarons 79-80, 89-90, 136-40, 149-50).

Devine reportedly saw Forrestal involved in destroying an aircraft. This aircraft, Devine eventually assumed, had been "Amelia Earhart's Plane." However, evidence now suggests that the plane in question was actually a TBM Avenger plane which had been piloted by (later President) George Bush, then a Navy pilot in the Pacific.. Bush had landed his plane on Japanese-held Guam on June 19, 1944, at Forrestal's behest. The fall of the Marianas, including Guam, would mean that Japan proper could be subject to U.S. bombing raids again, as it had been briefly in June, 1944, until the Japanese, with the connivance of Chiang Kai Shek (at the encouragement of Dulles) had captured the huge new U.S. Army Air Force bases in Northern China, from which the first regular bombing raids had started to hit Japan proper in early June, 1944. By the end of June, these airfields had fallen to the Japanese, as Chiang sold out his troops in return for the promise of Japanese help against Mao (Bagby 233-6).

Nelson Rockefeller--sold tons of oil to the Nazis and had his cronies picked to head the very boards that investigated such illegal activities.

The Truman Committee in Congress, in 1942 found 1941 cables from Standard Oil pledging to continue its trade with Japan "whether or not America went to war" with Japan. Similar documents were found, signed off on by Rockefeller execs. and Hermann Goering, pertaining to Hitler's usage of Standard's holdings of oil in Rumania. Goering paid Std. $11 million in bonds and the deal was followed up on throughout the War by Std. Should we doubt that it did the same in the Pacific?

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Kissinger

Henry Alfred Kissinger (born Heinz Alfred Kissinger on May 27, 1923), is a German-born American political scientist, diplomat, and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. He served as National Security Advisor and later concurrently as Secretary of State in the Nixon administration.

A proponent of Realpolitik, Kissinger played a dominant role in United States foreign policy between 1969 and 1977. During this period, he pioneered the policy of détente. He negotiated a settlement ending the Vietnam war, but the cease-fire proved unstable and no lasting peace resulted beyond the retreat of US troops.

In the Nixon and Ford administrations he cut a flamboyant figure. He described himself as perhaps the only National Security Advisor to have a fan club. His foreign policy record made him a villain to the anti-war left (see the Operation Condor section below). Kissinger was the "most frequent visitor" to the George W. Bush White House as an unofficial political advisor on Israel and the Middle East—including the invasion and occupation of Iraq.

Kissinger's political involvement continues—A press release issued by the 45th Munich Conference on Security Policy on February 8, 2009 declared "His voice continues to bear weight and authority throughout the globe."[2] Also at the conference National Security Adviser James L. Jones stated "I take my daily orders from Dr. Kissinger, filtered down through General Brent Scowcroft and Sandy Berger, who is also here."[3]

 Personal background
Kissinger was born Heinz Alfred Kissinger in Fürth, Bavaria, Germany, to Jewish parents Louis Kissinger (1887-1982), a schoolteacher, and Paula Stern (1901-1998). His surname was first taken by his great-great-grandfather, Meyer Löb, in 1817 after the city of Bad Kissingen.[4] In 1938, fleeing Nazi persecution, his family moved to New York. Here he (or maybe his parents) changed his name to Henry because Heinz sounded too German. Kissinger was naturalized a U.S. citizen on June 19, 1943, while in military training at Camp Croft in Spartanburg, South Carolina. He was 20.

1947: CIA FOUNDED AS HANDLING AGENCY FOR NAZIS ABSORBED INTO U.S. MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX: In 1947, Rockefellers' lawyer/spy Allen Dulles brought 2000 Nazi scientists into the US (OPERATION PAPERCLIP), to run NASA's rocket program and chemical/ biological weapons programs. In West Germany, Dulles hired Hitlers' master spy Reinhart Gehlen to revive the SS spy agency as the Gehlen Org., which became West Germanys' spy agency BND. Dulles gave Gehlen $200 million in US taxdollars over 10 years to rehire thousands of Nazi SS and GESTAPO veterans, allowing the Nazis to organise underground networks called ODESSA and DIE SPINNE (the spider). These networks created The RATLINE, an escape route to Argentina for thousands of Nazi war criminals sought by Israel, Russia, France etc.. These included notorious Nazis like Adolph Eichmann, Joseph Mengele, Otto Skorzeny, Walther Rauff and Klaus Barbie, who worked for the CIA-BND as advisers to the dictators of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Bolivia, running torture centers, death squads and cocaine rings.

IN 1947 HENRY KISSINGER SERVED AS GERMAN TRANSLATOR IN ARMY INTELLIGENCE, to help Dulles set up these secret networks. He personally "interrogated" many of the top Nazi prisoners held by the US Army, who were absorbed into the CIA-BND. (see: The CIAs worst kept secret, by M. Lee, under Archived article "Nazi echo" at http://www.consortiumnews.com ) In 1952 Dulles ordered SS comando Skorzeny to bring 200 Nazis to Egypt as military advisors to Abdul Nasser in his war with Israel (see: Postwar Arab links to the ODESSA network, at http://www.fantompowa.net/Flame/nazis_postwar_egypt.htm ).

DULLES BEGAN THE CIA POLICY OF COUP D'ETATS, IN WHICH DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENTS WERE REPLACED BY MILITARY DICTATORSHIPS. as follows:

-----1953, IRAN: President Mossadegh overthrown by the pro-nazi Shah Pahlavi, who kills and tortures thousands and opens Irans' oilfields to Rockefellers' EXXON corp.

-----1954, GUATEMALA: President Arbenz overthrown by the military, which by 1989 killed 200,000 Mayan Indians. To protect assets of United Fruit co.(Chiquita Bananas). Dulles was a director.

-----1961, ECUADOR: Pres. Arosemana overthrown

-----1961-64, BRAZIL: Pres. Joao Gaulart overthrown

-----1961-65, CONGO: Pres. Lumumba overthrown by Mobutu, who rules corruptly for 32 years and gives 10,000 square miles to OTRAG, a German rocket company run by former Nazi scientists.

-----1963, USA: President JF Kenneddy assassinated; John McCloy and Allen Dulles,(who JFK had fired as CIA director), "serve" on the Warren Commission, which claims there was no conspiracy involved. Lyndon Johnson reverses Kennedy's order to withdraw troops from Vietnam.

-----1963-65, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: Pres.Bosch ousted

-----1965, INDONESIA: President Sukarno overthrown by Gen. Suharto, who led a massacre (CIA assisted)of up to 1 million Indonesians and ran concentration camps with over 750,000 prisoners whose arms were tatooed with letters. He opened Indonesias' oilfields to Rockefellers EXXON, Mobil and Chevron co's. Rockefellers' Goodyear Tire co. made use of Suhartos' slave labor camps.

-----1965-67, GREECE: Pres. Papandreous overthrown

-----1971, BOLIVIA: President Torres overthrown by Gen. Banzer, who tortures and kills thousands with the help of Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie. Barbie runs the major cocaine ring known as AMADEUS, a lucrative CIA operation. In 1983 he is extradited to France for his war crimes trial.

-----1973, September 11, CHILE: President Allende overthrown by Gen. Pinochet in a bloody coup in which 3000 Chileans are massacred. The Rockefellers' ITT corp., now run by John McCloy, donates $1 million to the coup effort, which is orchestrated by Henry Kissinger.(source: Rogue State, by William Blum)

.......1976-OPERATION CONDOR, SOUTH AMERICAN ASSASSINATION CARTEL, THE YEAR GEORGE BUSH SR. IS CIA DIRECTOR. In 1976, Nelson Rockefeller was Vice President (to Ford), and his advisor Henry Kissinger was Secretary of State. In this year Kissinger's puppet dictator Pinochet, of Chile, organised Operation CONDOR, to co-ordinate death squad assassinations by the secret police of the dictators of Chile, Brasil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay . 30,000 leftists were assassinated/ executed/ "disappeared". Former Chilean ambassador Orlando Letelier was car bombed in Washington DC by Chilean agents. Operation CONDOR was based out of a bizarre Nazi colony in Chile known as COLONIA DIGNIDAD, whose founder is wanted in Germany for kidnapping and molesting young boys. Colonia Dignidad was used by Pinochets team to train for the 1973 coup d'etat, and then served as a torture center where prisoners were "disappeared".

Many of the top ranking Nazi war criminals in South America are believed to have lived in Colonia Dignidad. In 1993 a cache of documents called the "ARCHIVES OF TERROR" was found in Paraguay detailing Nazi war criminal involvement in Operation Condor, and listing victims, including Israeli agents who were trying to find Nazis to bring to trial. It is highly probable that George Bush sr and Henry Kissinger knew about, and directed, Operation CONDOR. General Pinochet was never ashamed of his pro-Nazi fetish, preferring Nazi uniforms and marching music. In 1985 an American professor, Boris Weisfeiler, was disappeared at Colonia Dignidad. Today Dignidad is a prospering commune valued at $5 billion, but closed to the public and protected by the Chilean military. Today David Rockefeller is the scion of his families' empire, running Chase-Manhattan Bank, the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), and Rockefeller Center, NYC. Kissinger was Bush jrs choice to head the September 11th investigation. Paul Bremer III, former Director of Kissinger Associates, was Bush's appointed ruler of Iraq.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Kissinger

in 1943, he was drafted into the US Army, trained at Clemson College in South Carolina, and became a German interpreter for the 970th Counter Intelligence Corps. He thus achieved the rank of sergeant. Following the war, he remained in Europe as a civilian instructor at the European Command Intelligence School, Camp King.[6] (Hah! Right!}

Henry Kissinger received his A.B. degree summa cum laude at Harvard College in 1950, where he studied under William Yandell Elliott.[7] He received his A.M. and Ph.D. degrees at Harvard University in 1952 and 1954, respectively. In 1952, while still at Harvard, he served as a consultant to the Director of the Psychological Strategy Board.[8] His doctoral dissertation was "Peace, Legitimacy, and the Equilibrium (A Study of the Statesmanship of Castlereagh and Metternich)."

Kissinger remained at Harvard as a member of the faculty in the Department of Government and at the Center for International Affairs. He became Associate Director of the latter in 1957. In 1955, he was a consultant to the National Security Council's Operations Coordinating Board.[8] During 1955 and 1956, he was also Study Director in Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations. He released his Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy the following year.[9] From 1956 to 1958 he worked for the Rockefeller Brothers Fund as director of its Special Studies Project.[8] He was Director of the Harvard Defense Studies Program between 1958 and 1971. He was also Director of the Harvard International Seminar between 1951 and 1971. Outside of academia, he served as a consultant to several government agencies, including the Operations Research Office, the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, and the Department of State, and the Rand Corporation, a think-tank.[8]

Keen to have a greater influence on US foreign policy, Kissinger became a supporter of, and advisor to, Nelson Rockefeller, Governor of New York, who sought the Republican nomination for President in 1960, 1964 and 1968. After Richard Nixon won the presidency in 1968, he made Kissinger National Security Advisor.




Business interests and public service

In 1982, Kissinger founded a consulting firm, Kissinger Associates, and is a partner in affiliate Kissinger McLarty Associates with Mack McLarty, former chief of staff to President Bill Clinton.[53] He also serves on board of directors of Hollinger International, a Chicago-based newspaper group,[54] and as of March 1999, he also serves on board of directors of Gulfstream Aerospace.[55]

From 1995 to 2001, he served on the board of directors for Freeport-McMoRan, a multinational copper and gold producer with significant mining and milling operations in Papua, Indonesia.[56] In February 2000, then-president of Indonesia Abdurrahman Wahid appointed Kissinger as a political advisor. He also serves as an honorary advisor to the United States-Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce.
 
Kissinger at the World Economic Forum's 'India Economic Summit', November, 2008, New Delhi.Kissinger served for many years as a director of Hollinger International, the chief executive officer of which was disgraced media tycoon Conrad Black. Hollinger's board is widely viewed to have not exercised sufficient oversight, enabling Black and other senior executives to defraud the company.[57]

Where’s the royal spirit of “accountability”, “being less egocentric in our ever more materialistic world” suddenly gone?
Considering that this ‘royal’ vessel consumes more power in one hour then a regular Belgian household needs in a year, one can only conclude that the Belgian royals own a degree in faking it, with a paid smile. But unlike the soon-to-be-broken election promises by candidates we can choose not to elect on June 10th, this Royal couple (net worth: an estimated 2 Billion Euro, inherited partly from his Saxe-Coburg ancestors who enslaved Congo) is allowed to continue their freeloading, do-as-we-please lifestyle until their royal burial.

Let’s drink a beer on this politically rather corrupt, highly taxed, economically inefficient, and constitutionally undemocratic tiny kingdom in the heart of Europe. And let’s make it a Belgian beer, so at least we can be sure to get something genuine

The propaganda is true?
In the past paragraphs we have discussed how hard-right propaganda has largely been responsible for all the fuss about the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission and the United Nations. The most interesting aspect of this propaganda may actually be that it is largely true.

 The Morgans and their henchmen really were a dominant influence in American economic and political circles in the early part of the 20th century. The Morgans, Mellons, Rockefellers, Vanderbilts and Andrew Carnegie really were great Anglophiles, this in contrast to the general population which still remembered the wars of independence. These same families really were great supporters of the United Nations and continue to be so until this very day. This analysis of the Pilgrims Society has shown all these things.

Leading Pilgrims have been among the founders and leaders of the Royal Institute for International Affairs, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Atlantic Councils, Bilderberg, the Trilateral Commission, the Atlantic Institute of International Affairs, the International Institute of Strategic Studies, the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations, the U.S.-U.S.S.R. Trade and Economic Council, the U.S.-China Business Council, the America-China Society, the Americas Society, the OECD, the Institute for International Economics, Ditchley, Brookings, the British Invisibles, LOTIS, etc., etc...
The absolute core of the globalist movement largely consists of Pilgrims. Examples are the membership of Lord Roll, Lord Carrington, Arthur Dean, Gabriel Hauge, Henry Heinz, Richard Holbrooke, Henry Kissinger, John J. McCloy, Lord Kerr, David Rockefeller, Robert V. Roosa, Cyrus Vance, Paul Volcker, and John Whitehead. Charles Savoie additionally listed Sir Peter Sutherland and George Ball as Pilgrims, both also important globalists.

Interesting and depressing fact:

THERE WAS NOT SO MUCH AS ONE PICTURE TAKEN AND MADE PUBLIC OF A BILDERBERGER IN THE ACT OF ATTENDING THIS YEAR'S BILDERBERG MEETING.

True, we enjoyed Jim Tucker's reports via YouTube and AJ's shows as well as newtruther Charlie Skelton's drama-building columns, and then we received a list of attendees after the meeting was over, as always. But, who would have thought that nobody would get so much as one video or one picture of one Bilderberger attending this year???

Not cool.

OK, now Robert Zoellick and staying with the Nazi connection theme... the Bormann WWII Nazi war booty...

Also you cannot seperate Zoellick from the Bush family or Golman Sachs Hummm....

http://www.fantompowa.net/Flame/editorial_war.html
...

The footnotes to a biography of the Bush family include these interesting observations...

18. One of Dubya's last cabinet appointments was Robert Zoellick, who was appointed U.S. Trade Representative shortly before Bush took office. ("Bush's Trade Chief Rated as Smart, Smooth Negotiator" by Jonathan Petersen; Los Angeles Times; 1/12/2001; p. A15.)

19. An excerpt from FTR-186 highlights Zoellick's role as a key foreign policy adviser to Bush during the campaign. ("Bush Questions Aid to Moscow in a Policy Talk" by R.W. Apple, Jr.; New York Times; 11/20/99.)

20. Underscoring the probability of strong ties between the Bush camp and the Bormann group, the program sets forth Zoellick's participation in the German Marshall Fund of the United States. (Idem.)

21. Set up as a P.R. front for German heavy industry, the German Marshall fund is, in effect, a Bormann front group. (Martin Bormann: Nazi in Exile; by Paul Manning; pp. 261-262.)

22. Zoellick was one of the principal figures in the launching of NAFTA, as well as the Bush/Baker State Department point man in the negotiations that led to the reunification of Germany. ("Bush Seeking To Overhaul Policy Making" by Joseph Kahn and Frank Bruni; New York Times; 1/6/2001; pp. B1-14.)

23. Handling German reunification, Zoellick must have worked closely with Gunther Strassmeier, Helmut Kohl's former chief of staff and the architect of German reunification. Strassmeier is the father of Andreas Strassmeier, a key figure in the Oklahoma City bombing investigation. (The Beast Reawakens, by Martin A. Lee; hardcover, Little Brown & Co., pp. 352-3, ISBN 0-316-51959-6.)

24. Zoellick also helped to midwife the World Trade Organization. (Robert Bruce Zoellick; by Joseph Kahn; New York Times; 1/12/2001; p. A15.)

25. A James Baker protege, Zoellick worked with Baker in the Florida recount machinations. ("Bush's Trade Chief Rated as Smart, Smooth Negotiator" by Jonathan Petersen; Los Angeles Times; 1/12/2001; p. A15.)
In fact, in the 1990's Jeb and George both received the profits from the trust fund set up by their grandad .

It is impossible that they did not know from where the money had come.

Martin Bormann – Nazi in Exile
by Paul Manning

 Finally, the key bankers did go to prison for a time, but only to be interrogated about their financial activities in the war, including: "What happened to the money and other liquid assets you sent out of Germany after August 10, 1944, when Martin Bormann inaugurated his flight capital program?"

Not in question was such treasure as was discovered by the U.S. Third Army in a salt mine near Merkers in April 1945. A preliminary inventory of gold bullion, currency, and miscellane­ous property placed the value of the find at $515,825,802, and as Lieutenant General Walter Bedell Smith, chief of staff of the U.S. Army at SHAEF, stated: "The total figure arrived at was made only from information on the Reichsbank tags attached to the sealed bags, boxes and parcels
...
But scant useful information was obtained from the leading bankers and industrialists held for interrogation. To be sure, all had approved and complied with Bormann's program of flight capital to neutral safe havens in 1944; they had faith that the Fatherland, or at least those zones supervised by Britain, France, and the United States, would rise from the ashes of defeat. They knew too that the money, patents, and new manu­facturing processes, along with scientists and administrators sequestered beyond reach of the Allies, would also be a necessary component in the resurgence of Germany. But they sidestepped acknowledging that billions had been sent from their country in the final nine months of the war, and that cor­porations outside the boundaries of Germany would be gen­erating further money in world markets during the years to come. Treasury officials in Washington, as in London, knew what was transpiring; the teams they sent into the field uncov­ered enough evidence to prove a definite pattern. As for the news media, it did not seem important, although long-term it was really the biggest of the postwar stories. Yet so quietly was it handled by the Germans and so diffident was the reaction by the Allies, that few ripples rose to the surface, and investigators of the U.S. Treasury Department were taken off the case.
...
The Germans of the present decade are handling their rela­tions with the United States public and the Congress with the greatest of skill. Even BASF of Frankfurt has received American awards for imaginative work in improving relations between its American plants and the neighboring communities. By the 1970s the West Germans had concluded that influencing U.S. public opinion is better accomplished with a skillful touch than with a meat cleaver, which had characterized their efforts during the two world wars. An example of such skill was the staged news event of June 5, 1972, when Willy Brandt announced at Harvard University that the Federal Republic of Germany would donate 150 million marks ($47 million) to establish a foundation in honor of the Marshall Plan-a statesmanlike approach to the recovery of former enemies, and to the recovery generally of Western Europe. Brandt stated that the money would arrive in equal installments for the next fifteen years, for the establish­ment and operation in the United States of an independent American-run educational foundation specializing in solutions to European problems, to be known as the "German Marshall Fund of the United States-A Memorial to the Marshall Plan."

The overriding function of this German George C. Marshall Research Foundation is public relations, to cosmeticize the German industrialists and bankers whose corporations had worked so successfully for the Third Reich. In October 1978 the Marshall Foundation was utilized as a platform for Dr. Hermann J. Abs, now honorary president of Deutsche Bank A.G., as he addressed a meeting of businessmen and bankers and members of the Foreign Policy Association in New York City on the "Problems and Prospects of American-German Economic Co­operation." This luncheon meeting was chaired by his old friend, John J. McCloy, Wall Street banker and lawyer, who had worked closely with Dr. Abs when McCloy served as U.S. High Commissioner for Germany during those postwar reconstruction years. At that time, Hermann Abs, as chief executive of Deutsche Bank, was also directing the spending of America's Marshall Plan money in West Germany as the chairman of the Recon­struction Loan Corporation of the Federal Republic of Ger­many.

With them on the dais were Henry H. Fowler, Wall Street investment banker and former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury; Henry Cabot Lodge, former U.S. ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany; George C. McGhee, another former American ambassador to West Germany, also a trustee of the Marshall Foundation and a member of various private and gov­ernment advisory groups.

These, along with the others on the dais and in the audience, represent firms and banks that are among the most prestigious in the United States and through­out the world; all benefited from the rebirth and rebounding prosperity of the new Federal Republic of Germany. Knowingly or not, these figures and their corporations are indebted to the man who was not there, the financial and administrative genius who set the foundation for the postwar recovery of West Ger­many, Martin Bormann.

Robert Bruce Zoellick (pronounced /ˈzʌlɪk/; born July 25, 1953) is the eleventh president of the World Bank, a position he has held since July 1, 2007.[1] He was previously a managing director of Goldman Sachs,[2] United States Deputy Secretary of State (resigning on July 7, 2006) and U.S. Trade Representative, from February 7, 2001 until February 22, 2005.

President George W. Bush nominated Zoellick on May 30, 2007 to replace Paul Wolfowitz as President of the World Bank.[3] On June 25, 2007, Zoellick was approved by the World Bank's executive board.[4][5]


Background

Zoellick was born in Naperville, Illinois. Zoellick graduated in 1971 from Naperville Central High School. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1975 from Swarthmore College as a history major and received his J.D. magna cum laude from Harvard Law School and a Master of Public Policy degree from Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government in 1981.[6][7][8] In 1992, he received the Knight Commander's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany for his eminent achievements in the course of German Unification.

In 2002, Zoellick was awarded an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from Saint Joseph's College in Rensselaer, Indiana.

On May 30, 2007, President George W. Bush nominated Zoellick to become president of the World Bank, with Paul Wolfowitz formally stepping down on June 30.

Government service (1985–1992)

Zoellick served in various positions at the Department of the Treasury from 1985 to 1988. He held positions including Counselor to Secretary James Baker, Executive Secretary of the Department, and Deputy Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions Policy.

During George H. W. Bush's presidency, Zoellick served with Baker, by then Secretary of State, as Under Secretary of State for Economic and Agricultural Affairs, as well as Counselor to the Department (Under Secretary rank). In August 1992, Zoellick was appointed White House Deputy Chief of Staff and Assistant to the President.[6] Zoellick was also appointed Bush's personal representative for the G7 Economic Summits in 1991 and 1992.

Business, academia, and politics (1993–2001)

After leaving government service, Zoellick served from 1993-1997 as an Executive Vice President of Fannie Mae. [4] [5] Afterwards, Zoellick was appointed as the John M. Olin Professor of National Security at the U.S. Naval Academy (1997–1998), Research Scholar at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, and Senior International Advisor to Goldman Sachs.[7][9]

Zoellick signed the January 26, 1998 letter[10] to President Bill Clinton from PNAC that advocated war against Iraq.

During 1999 Zoellick was, for a short period, the head of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS)[11]

During 1999, Zoellick served on a panel that offered Enron executives briefings on economic and political issues[12].

In the 2000 U.S. presidential election campaign, Zoellick served as a foreign policy advisor to George W. Bush as part of a group, led by Condoleezza Rice, that called itself The Vulcans. James Baker designated him as his second-in-command — "a sort of chief operating officer or chief of staff" — in the 36-day battle over recounting the vote in Florida.[13]

U.S. Trade Representative (2001–2005)

Zoellick was named U.S. Trade Representative at the beginning of the younger Bush's first term; he was a member of the Executive Office, with the rank of Ambassador. According to the U.S. Trade Representative website, Zoellick completed negotiations to bring China and Taiwan into the World Trade Organization (WTO); developed a strategy to launch new global trade negotiations at the WTO meeting in Doha, Qatar; shepherded Congressional action on the Jordan Free Trade Agreement and the Vietnam Trade Agreement; and worked with Congress to pass the Trade Act of 2002, which included new Trade Promotion Authority.[14] He also heavily promoted the Central American Free Trade Agreement over the objections of labor, environmental, and human rights groups.[15]

Zoellick played a key role in the U.S.-W.T.O. dispute against the European Union over genetically modified foods. The move sought to force genetically modified crops and food on the E.U., which would not otherwise accept them, or be slow to do so.[16].


Deputy Secretary of State (2005–2006)

The New York Times reported on May 25, 2006 that Zoellick could soon announce his departure. Zoellick agreed to serve as Deputy Secretary of State for not less than one year. He was seen as a major architect of the Bush administration's policies regarding China.

On September 21, 2005, Zoellick created a major stir on both sides of the Pacific by giving a remarkably candid speech to the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations. In the speech, he not only introduced the notion of China as a "stakeholder" in the international community but sought to allay fears in the US of ceding dominance to China. The full text of his speech can be found here.[6]

In addition, Zoellick chartered a new direction in the Darfur peace process.[18] During a trip to a Darfur refugee camp in 2005, he wore a bracelet with the motto, "Not on our watch." Zoellick was seen by many as the administration's strongest voice on Darfur. His resignation catalyzed groups, such as the Genocide Intervention Network, to praise his record on human rights issues.[19]

Zoellick is a terrible, deplorable human being.... he's also tied in with money funding of the swine flu, the world bank agenda push... you've already covered the PNAC of course... he's one sick sick puppy!

18/26 of the American attendees are Jewish.

I'd like to pass on something that Tony Golsing pointed out on the Corbett Report about Bilderberg:

All the participants are not necessarily evil or willingly involved in a global conspiracy against the American people. Gosling uses a British politician who attended Bilderberg a few years back and did not support the agenda, however, the guy mysteriously turned up dead within a few months.

Just as Aaron Russo died of some rare cancer, following the release of his documentary?  Russo said he turned down an invite to Builderburg in an on-camera interview.

The bilderberg group is just a front group that exists so that if poop ever hits the fan people the super elite have someone to send to jail and for the public to blame.  this is why there are so many jews in it.  because they want people to hate jews.  more nazi crap.  it is nothing more than a group of glorified secretaries.  this is not rocket science people.

Whatever.

Most of the elite you just referred to, above Bilderberg, are also Jewish.

It is not Nazi crap. The Nazis were the only people to get rid of international, central banking.
