„Company executives from the major Dutch multinationals residing in London (mainly Shell, Unilever, and Philips)
discussed the important economic and social issues that would face the Netherlands after the end [of] the war. In fact,
meetings of these industrialists, organised by Unilever's chairman, Paul Rijkens, were partly a continuation of the
prewar Contact Committee of Dutch large multinationals. They were convinced that close contacts with Great Britain
and the United States would be essential for the future economic prosperity of the Netherlands.“ Sluyterman,
Varieties of Capitalism and Business History
„From the Dutch viewpoint, the punitive sanctions against Germany ... such as decartelization and the dismantling of
German industry, were dangerous.
There was minor dissent from this position from, for example, the Study Group for Reconstruction Problems
(Studiegroep voor Reconstructieproblemen). Founded in July 1941 by Paul Rijkens, President of Unilever, to assist
the London-based Dutch government-in-exile, the study group included J.B. Aug. Kessler of Royal-Dutch Shell and a
number of the ministers of the government-in-exile. It recommended that the Netherlands should reorient its trade
after the war to Great Britain.“ Sherner/White, Paying for Hitler's War: The Consequences of Nazi Economic

In 1993 he became United States Permanent Representative to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD) in Paris, and in 1996 was assigned the additional job of White House Special Envoy for
Cryptography. At the OECD he successfully negotiated the Convention to Prohibit Bribery in International Business
Transactions. As Special Envoy for Cryptography, Aaron pushed for a global standard that would require computer
users with high grade encryption to submit keys to their codes for scrambling data to an independent authority, which
would hold them in escrow and make them available to law enforcement only under a court order. At the time, he
argued that unbreakable codes in the hands of terrorists would threaten every country's security. However, he was
attacked by advocates of privacy rights, who said that the compromise could easily be misused by Governments and
corporations. In 1997 he was appointed Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade, where ironically he
negotiated privacy rules with the European Union on the handling of personal data.
After Clinton's second term in office, Aaron became senior international advisor at Dorsey & Whitney. He left Dorsey

Am 7. Dezember 2011 entging Ackermann einem Briefbomben-Anschlag, zu dem sich die italienische Anarchisten-
Gruppe Federazione Anarchica Informale bekannte.
Im Herbst 2011 hatte sich Ackermann überraschend von seiner Kandidatur für den Verwaltungsrat der Deutschen
Bank distanziert. Seine Aufgabe als Noch-Konzernchef sei zu intensiv, lautete die wenig überzeugende Begründung.
Was viel eher den Ausschlag gegeben haben dürfte, waren Ermittlungen der Staatsanwaltschaft im Fall Leo Kirch, die
damals einen ersten Höhepunkt erreichten. Aus heutiger Warte passen die beiden Ereignisse jedenfalls nahtlos
zusammen. Heute [April 2015] muss Ackermann mit vier Ex-Kollegen der Deutschen Bank vor dem Richter
antraben. Ihnen wird Falschaussage rund um den Konkurs des Medienimperiums vorgeworfen.
2014: Wenig später schied Ackermann erst aus dem Verwaltungsrat von Siemens und dem Ölkonzern Shell aus, dann
trat er beim Weltwirtschaftsforum WEF von Klaus Schwab zurück. Die prestigeträchtigen Ämter bei wichtigen
börsenkotierten Konzernen oder renommierten Institutionen war er los. Mandate bei der schwedischen
Milliardärsfamilie Wallenberg ab 2012 und dem russischen Oligarchen Viktor Vekselberg ab 2014 brachten zwar
Geld, aber kaum Image.

In 1941, he was serving under General Sir William Platt in Abyssinia, after which he returned to General
Headquarters in Cairo: there he was appointed Director of Special Operations and later Director of Military
Intelligence.
In June 1944, Airey was promoted Major General and was later appointed Assistant Chief of Staff to General Harold
Alexander.In this capacity, he flew to Switzerland with Lyman Lemnitzer, both disguised as Irish business men, to
meet Allen Dulles. Airey's cover was as a Mr MacNeilly who claimed to be on a business trip to buy a German
dachshund called Fritzel.
The three met the SS General Karl Wolff, with Airey trying to negotiate a meeting between Wolff and General
Alexander to discuss the surrender of German forces in Italy. Airey did not succeed in arranging the meeting, and
when the Soviets found out about the meeting, the United States and UK were accused of going behind their allies'
backs. Wolff was later protected by Dulles and Lemnitzer, much to the disdain of Airey. The Karl Wolff affair would
later become known as Operation Sunrise, but at the time was codenamed Operation Fritzel because of a dog that
Airey was using as cover.
In 1947, he was appointed Commander and Military Governor of the Anglo-American Zone, Trieste, which was later
handed over to the Italians and Yugoslavs. The position was originally temporary, but Airey continued in it until 1951.
He helped restore stability to the war-battered area, particularly in the harbour and in re-opening trade routes. Before
Airey arrived, the area had been under the power of a Communist 'shadow government' which assassinated its
political opponents. He is said to have been dearly missed by the people of Trieste.
After his service at Trieste, Airey was appointed Assistant Chief of Staff, Intelligence, to General Dwight Eisenhower
at Supreme Allied Headquarters.
His last military appointment was as Commander of British Forces in Hong Kong from February 1952 to 1954. He
retired from military service in 1954, although he served as Colonel of the Durham Light Infantry until 1956.
In August 1956, he was appointed delegate-general of the European Foundation of Culture, which sought to revive
the idea of Europe as a single cultural community.

„Of the Allied commanders in Africa and Italy ... the future Earl Alexander of Tunis may have had the keenest sense
of intelligence. (...)
Alexander saw Ultra and other sources of intelligence through the eyes of a specialist. (...)
Alexander thus never lost sight of this unique weapon. He was never content with the daily briefings. Two or three
times a day he would wander into the warroom to make sure of not losing track of latest developments.“ -218
„Without Terence Airey, Alexander might have done less well. Kenneth Strong, Eisenhower's G-2, speaks of Airey
with high regard and would have him share with his commander credit for consistent and adroit use of intelligence.
He is especially said to have had the good intelligence officer's gift of healthy skepticism. He was also a friendly chap
who got on harmoniously with the chiefs of the other staff sections and the G-2s of the two armies.“ 218

Robert Bernard Anderson (June 4, 1910 – August 14, 1989) was an American administrator and businessman and
one of President Eisenhower's closest confidants.
Eisenhower was particularly impressed by Anderson's abilities, believing him to be more than capable of being
president himself, and he named him as one of his leading choices to be his running mate in 1956, should to be Vice-
President Richard Nixon have accepted Eisenhower's recommendation that he leave the vice-presidency in order to
serve as Secretary of Defense. However, Nixon opted to remain on the ticket with Ike. As 1960 approached,
Eisenhower acknowledged that Nixon no doubt had the Republican presidential nomination sewn up, but he privately
pressed Anderson to enter the primaries and challenge Nixon, but Anderson declined. Once Nixon was nominated,
Eisenhower suggested that he select Anderson as his running mate, but Nixon chose Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. instead.

Anderson turned Arco into the United States' sixth-largest oil company by the time he left in 1986 to pursue other
interests. He was by then the largest individual landowner in the United States, with ranches and other holdings in
Texas and New Mexico amounting to some 2,000 square miles (5,200 km2) and a personal fortune estimated at $200
million.
Anderson's career ended in personal suffering and disgrace. He was hospitalized several times for alcoholism. He
illegally operated the Commercial Exchange Bank of Anguilla, British West Indies, which had an unlicensed New
York branch office. The bank lost $4.4 million and several investors lost their life savings in the mid 1980s. The bank
also laundered large amounts of cash for drug traffickers. In 1987, Anderson pled guilty to criminal violations of the
banking laws and to tax evasion, and was sentenced to prison.
Indian Intelligence, suspecting that links between the Axis and the Faqir had existed for some time, first received
concrete evidence in June 1941 after the arrest. of Mohammad Aslam, the interpreter at the Italian Legation in Kabul,
when he visited his relatives near Quetta. Aslam claimed in his statement that several members of the Italian
Legation had visited the Faqir between 1939 and 1941 and supplied him with money and weapons, including
machine-guns and a wireless transmitting and receiving set. He also supplied the British with the names of the
Afghan officials and army officers co II collaborating with the Italians and with the Faqir, which were then used to
bring more pressure to bear upon the Kabul government. This was also confirmed in an other way by Quaroni, the
Italian Minister at Kabul. According to him the Faqir was visited during the war by the secretary of the Italian
Legation, Enrico Anzilotti, who did so during June 1941. Anzi lotti, who set out on 12 June, was away unnoticed for
22 days, covering the distance partly by lorry but almost on foot. As he was wearing Pashtoon dress the Afghan
police failed to apprehend him, which greatly upset them, for they offered, 150,000 Afghani for his capture. Anzilotti
spent three days at Gorwekht and returned safely to Kabul. He reported that the Faqir was in principle ready to start
action against the British on the Frontier, but required money, weapons and ammunition, (According to Quraoni, the
holy man from Waziristan had a quite definite idea about his requirements which lie made known to the Axis
Legations through his intermediaries in a form-n somewhat resembling a price list: 25,000 paid every other month to
keep the pot boiling and to double the sum if tribal activities should be extended to other areas; in the event of
general rising on the Frontier the price would have to be tripled, not counting supplies of weapons and ammunition
which the Faqir also required urgently). He stipulated the terms of cash payments and wished to have a wireless
transmitter with a trained operator. The Germans, too, wanted to establish a direct link with lpi. A few weeks after
Anzilotti's return they sent to Gorwekht two of their agents with a small group of hired tribesmen. They never reached
their destination, falling into a trap set tip by the Afghan government.

Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog verbleef hij in ballingschap te Londen, waar hij als algemeen secretaris van de
AIOMM de geallieerden steunde. Zo bekwam hij dankzij een radiotoespraak gericht aan officieren en kapiteins van
de Franse koopvaardij, dat een groot aantal van hen naar Londen koers zette. Tevens rekruteerde hij onder meer
marconisten onder de AIOMM-leden en werkte hij samen met de Londense antenne van de Amerikaanse afdeling
arbeidsproblemen van de Office for Strategic Studies (OSS) die onder leiding stond van onder andere Arthur
Goldberg. In 1942 stelde Becu zijn vakbondsnetwerk in Nazi-Duitsland en West-Europa ter beschikking van de OSS
en ronselde hij onder meer op het congres van de Internationale Transportarbeiders Federatie (ITF) te Londen in mei
1942 vakbondafgevaardigden om een verbindingsnetwerk uit te bouwen voor de OSS. In de laatste oorlogsjaren ten
slotte bouwde een radio-contraspionagenetwerk uit dat een belangrijke bijdrage leverde in de strijd tegen de Duitse

Rich, truculent and litigious, Sir Frederic Bennett, who has died aged 83, was a striking example of a hereditary
political changeling. Although he served for 36 years as a Conservative MP, in April 1997 he announced that it was
"time for a change" and that he would be voting for New Labour since they were "no longer Marxist socialists".
as the cold war intensified Bennett Jr concluded that "the enemies of your enemies are your friends", and aligned
himself with all, and any, of Moscow's enemies. He backed all Muslim states, no matter how reactionary or
authoritarian, even defending Turkey's 1974 invasion of Cyprus.
Bennett was born into an intensely political and well-off family, and never ceased to trade on his father's connections.
it provided him with a core of lucrative directorships, which, ranging from the blue chip to the dodgy (BCCI),
supported a lifestyle that included a Rolls-Royce and four homes, one of them in the Cayman Islands.
He was very ambivalent about the Commonwealth. In 1979-80, he was an imperial-nostalgic, fiercely resisting
Nicholas Ridley's attempt to end the Falklands impasse by a leaseback scheme with Argentina. In 1982, he co-led
resistance, mostly by racists, to William Whitelaw's attempt to give women equality in bringing in spouses from the
Commonwealth.
By far Bennett's most promising advance was his appointment, in 1956, as PPS to Reginald Maudling at the Ministry
of Supply.
He rubbed people up the wrong way; his fussy mannerisms prevented him from commanding a political audience.

1949-1971 President, German Industry Association (BDI)
Später war er Mitglied des Präsidiums der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Auswärtige Politik
Als BDI-Präsident äußerte er im Herbst 1969 anlässlich der „wilden“ Septemberstreiks in der Stahlindustrie des
Ruhrgebiets, man hätte „ruhig schießen sollen, dann herrscht wenigstens Ordnung“
27. August 1901 in Altena; † 3. Februar 1979 in Köln
„Ich verstehe nicht, wie die Industrie sich durch einen solchen Mann so lange vertreten lassen kann“, sagte in den
fünfziger Jahren einmal in kleiner Runde ein benachbartes Arbeitgebervorstandsmitglied, dem die Bergschen Tiraden
und Verbalinjurien gegen den „Meister der Marktwirtschaft“, Ludwig Erhard, in den Präsidialsitzungen des BDI und
bei anderer Gelegenheit fast körperliche Pein bereitet haben.
Das Motiv des Grolls war damals das Bemühen des Bundeswirtschaftsministers, die marktwirtschaftliche Ordnung
durch ein weitreichendes Kartellgesetz abzusichern. In dem offiziellen Jubiläumsmaterial des BDI steht unter dem
Jahr 1952: „Briefwechsel zwischen Ludwig Erhard und Fritz Berg über die Gestaltung des Wettbewerbsrechts. Der
BDI-Präsident betonte im Oktober 1952 die Notwendigkeit unternehmerischer Zusammenarbeit und fordert ihre
rechtliche Absicherung.“
(...)
Trotz aller Originalität und Freimütigkeit gewannen Berg und mit ihm seine Organisation nie ein rechtes Verhältnis
zur Öffentlichkeit. Die größte Pleite erlebte der BDI-Präsident bei einer Pressekonferenz, die er zu Beginn der
sechziger Jahre im Rahmen der Aufwertungsdebatte im Bonner Presseclub abhielt. Bei dieser Gelegenheit fiel der
Satz, er brauche nur in das Palais Schaumburg zu gehen, dann sei ein ihm nicht genehmes Vorhaben „vom Tisch“.
Auch der BDI erschrak ob dieser Offenheit und ließ den Präsidenten fortan nicht mehr in die freie Pressearena laufen.
(...)
So dachte Berg überhaupt: Wirtschaft, das ist in erster Linie Industrie. Industrie, das ist vor allem der BDI.

Präsident Fritz Berg ausführte, Aus seinem Munde klang ernste Besorgnis über jüngst von gewerkschaftlicher Seite
erfolgte Äußerungen zur Frage des Mitbestimmungsrechts. Der Zuhörerkreis von mehr als 4000 Unternehmern aus
ganz Deutschland, die zu dieser Kundgebung zusammengekommen waren, nahm die konstruktiven europäischen
Gedanken des Präsidenten geradezu mit begeisterter Zustimmung auf. Wir wollen daraus kurz registrieren:
Die Wirtschaft der Nationalstaaten darf als überholt gelten; an ihre Stelle hat die europäische, die abendländische
Wirtschaft zu treten? die Industrie ist bereit, hierfür große Opfer zu bringen. Das bedeutet aber auch den Wegfall aller
diskriminierenden Fertigungsverbote und der Eigentumsbeeinträchtigungen bei Eisen, Kohle, Chemie usw. Freiheit
der Forschung und Rückgabe der beschlagnahmten Warenzeichen und Patente und des Auslandseigentums gehören
ebenfalls hierher. Wir stehen positiv zu des Initialzündung des Schumanplans. Es ist nicht mehr entscheidend, wo in

produziert wird.

In 1999, Berger was criticized for failing to promptly inform President Clinton of his knowledge that the People's
Republic of China had managed to acquire the designs of a number of U.S. nuclear warheads. Berger was originally
briefed of the espionage by the Department of Energy (DOE) in April 1996, but did not inform the president until July
1997
After leaving the Clinton Administration, Berger became chairman of Stonebridge International, an international
advisory firm he co-founded in 2001 which focused on aiding companies in their expansion into emerging markets
such as Brazil, China,India, and Russia. Stonebridge International merged in 2009 with The Albright Group, a similar
firm founded by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, to form Albright Stonebridge Group.
In 2000, Berger was presented with an honorary degree from Tel Aviv University in Israel.
On July 19, 2004, it was revealed that the U.S. Department of Justice was investigating Berger for unauthorized
removal of classified documents in October 2003 from a National Archives reading room prior to testifying before the
9/11 Commission. The documents were five classified copies of a single report commissioned from Richard Clarke
covering internal assessments of the Clinton Administration's handling of the unsuccessful 2000 millennium attack
plots.
In April 2005, Berger pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified
material from the National Archives in Washington
On May 17, 2007, Berger relinquished his license to practice law as a result of the Justice Department investigation
By giving up his license, Berger avoided cross-examination by the Bar Counsel regarding details of his thefts
In November 2015, Berger was awarded the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Rising Sun by the Japanese
government for his contributions to promotion of a strong and friendly relationship between the United States and
Japan, particularly as National Security Advisor to Clinton.
On December 1, 2015, World Food Program USA announced that it has given its inaugural Global Humanitarian

He served as Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands 1952–1956. Beyen played an important role in the
creation of the European Economic Community, and is regarded as one of the founding fathers of the European
Union.
After 1924, Beyen had several positions in the business sector: secretary of the board of Philips, head of the Dutch
branch of the central bank of the Dutch East Indies, director of one of the predecessors of the AMRO Bank, vice
president and from 1937 president of the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, and director of Unilever.
During World War II, he was, in addition to his position at Unilever, financial advisor to the Dutch government in
exile in London. In 1944, he played an important role during the Bretton Woods conference where the foundations
were laid for the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. From 1946, he was the Dutch representative in
the board of the World Bank and from 1948 also in that of the IMF.
In 1952 Wim Beyen, who did not belong to a political party, was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Second
Drees cabinet.
(...)
Beyen realized that European integration in the political field would be impossible in the near future. He was
convinced that had to be begun with economic cooperation, and developed a plan that called for a European common
market, combined with the idea of a political community. He was in favour of horizontal integration instead of
continuing with a sector by sector integration along the lines of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC).[1]
On 4 April 1955 he sent a memorandum to his BeNeLux colleagues Paul-Henri Spaak (Belgium) and Joseph Bech
(Luxembourg) in which he proposed his idea of a customs union. In a meeting of the three Foreign Ministers of the
BeNeLux in The Hague on 23 April 1955 they drafted a joint memorandum to present to their colleagues of the
ECSC. They finalized the memorandum (the BeNeLux memorandum) on 18 May 1955 and presented it to the
governments of France, Germany and Italy on 20 May 1955. They proposed to discuss in a conference of the six
participating countries of the ECSC the way towards a general integration of the European economy.
This conference, the Messina Conference, was held from 1 to 3 June 1955. Beyen headed the Dutch delegation. The
final resolution of the conference largely reflected Beyen's point of view. It formed the basis for further work to
relaunch European integration and would lead to the Treaties of Rome in 1957 and the formation of the European
Economic Community and Euratom in 1958.

In an article titled Journalism and the CIA: The Mighty Wurlitzer, published on the Public Information Research (PIR
- http://www.pir.org/ ) website NameBase NewsLine, No. 17, April-June 1997 we learn:
"The final months of 1977 produced three significant pieces of journalism on the CIA and the media, just before the
issue was abandoned altogether. The first, by Joe Trento and Dave Roman, reported the connections between Copley
Press and the CIA. Owner James S. Copley cooperated with the CIA for three decades. A subsidiary, Copley News
Service, was used as a CIA front in Latin America, while reporters at the Copley-owned San Diego Union and
Evening News were instructed to spy on antiwar protesters for the FBI. No less than 23 news service employees were
simultaneously working for the CIA. James Copley, who died in 1973, was also a leading figure behind the CIA-
funded Inter-American Press Association.28
The next article was by Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame. In a long piece in Rolling Stone, he came up with the
figure of 400 American journalists over the past 25 years, based primarily on interviews with Church committee
staffers. This figure included stringers and freelancers who had an understanding that they were expected to help the
CIA, as well as a small number of full-time CIA employees using journalism as a cover. It did not include foreigners,
nor did it include numerous Americans who traded favors with the CIA in the normal give-and-take between a
journalist and his sources. In addition to some of the names already mentioned above, Bernstein supplied details on
Stewart and Joseph Alsop, Henry Luce, Barry Bingham Sr. of the Louisville Courier-Journal, Hal Hendrix of the
Miami News, columnist C.L. Sulzberger, Richard Salant of CBS, and Philip Graham and John Hayes of the
Washington Post.
(...)
Conspicuously absent from the CIA and the media articles are links to the Council on Foreign Relations. How many
of the journalists, owners, executives and editors that the reporters concentrated on were also members of the Council
on Foreign Relations. Are Joe Trento, Dave Roman, Carl Bernstein and the New York Times reporters near-sighted,
poorly informed investigative journalists, or , CFR insiders or CIA operatives participating in keeping CFR
sponsorship of covert operations a secret? Why haven't they connected "The Special Group" (aka the 40-committee,
aka the operations coordinating board, aka the psychological strategy board) to the Council on Foreign Relations?

Berktay uncovered that the Turkish government purged many of the evidence's and documents regarding the
Armenian Genocide found in the Turkish archives.[6] According to him, the archive cleaning was “most probably
implemented by Muharrem Nuri Birgi, a former Turkish ambassador to London and NATO and Secretary General of
the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”[6] Berktay also claims that “at the time he was combing the archives, Nuri
Birgi met regularly with a mutual friend and at one point, referring to the Armenians, ruefully confessed: ‘We really
slaughtered them.’”[6]

Upon leaving the Navy after the War, he joined the investment firm of Harris, Forbes, & Co. He worked as a traveling
salesperson for the firm selling bonds and meeting with bankers and investors. He opened the firm's first southern
office in Atlanta and later became a partner in the firm.[1]
In 1933, he was hired by the Chase National Bank to be their vice-president. He went on to become the senior vice-
president of Chase National's investment portfolio.[1]
He became the executive director of the World Bank in 1947. When the Bank's President, John J. McCloy, resigned in
1949, Black, against his will, became the President of the Bank.[1]

Through these institutions, and Mr. Black's striking success in introducing World Bank bonds to the leading financial
markets of the world, private and public capital was mobilized on an international basis and channeled into
productive projects in the developing countries for power, transportation, agriculture, communications, industry and
other essential purposes. Mr. Black also made invaluable contributions in leading the World Bank Group to a vital
role as mediator and conciliator in the peaceful settlement of intense international controversies, of which the dispute
over compensation for the nationalization of the Suez Canal and the dispute between India and Pakistan over the
division of the waters of the Indus River System are well-known examples.
When he retired from World Bank activities in January 1963, Mr. Black no doubt assumed that his life would be less
hectic, but it was not to be. As a reflection of the business world's esteem for him, he was elected to the Boards of
some of the nation's most important firms, including The Chase Manhattan Bank, Royal Dutch Shell Company,
International Telephone & Telegraph Company, The New York Times, F. W. Woolworth Company, Cummins Engine
Company, American Express Company, and The Howmet Corporation, of which he was recently named Chairman of
the Board.

was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Aberdeen and Kincardine East in 1924. He held the seat until its
abolition in 1950, when he was elected for its successor constituency of East Aberdeenshire. Re-elected a final time
in 1955, he gave up the seat in 1958 when he was raised to the peerage, triggering a by-election.
He was Parliamentary Private Secretary to Chancellor of the Exchequer Winston Churchill from 1926 to 1929 and
held junior ministerial office as Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food in 1940–41.
Boothby opposed free trade in food stuffs, and claimed that such a policy would invalidate the Agriculture Act 1947
and ruin British farmers.
Boothby advocated the UK's entry into the European Community (now the European Union) and was a British
delegate to the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe from 1949 until 1957.
This file contains a considerable amount of documentation concerning Boothby’s dealings with Czech financier
Richard Weininger, in 1939-40. Boothby was Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food in 1940-41. A
Parliamentary Select Committee investigated Boothby’s dealings and found him guilty of improper conduct, and
there was also an allegation that he was accepting payments from a pharmaceutical company (connected with the
issue of fortifying bread with vitamins). Boothby resigned from his junior ministerial position but managed to retain
his parliamentary seat. He went on to join the Royal Air Force, remaining as MP.
The file contains transcripts of ‘tapped’ telephone conversations made by Boothby, including calls made to his
mother. This tapping and transcribing of phone calls was carried out by wartime censors without Security Service
involvement. There are also some extraordinary exchanges of notes between Boothby and Major Sinclair written on
restaurant notepaper following an overheard conversation in a London restaurant in March 1939.
Catalogue reference: KV 2/4096
Date range: 9 May 1941–24 August 1951

This file contains further documentation concerning Boothby’s relations with Richard Weininger, including letters
which MI5 had intercepted and transcribed. There is an account of a meeting on 11/05/1943 between Sir Oswald
Mosley and Boothby, during Mosley’s internment. On 26/02/1948 it is noted that Mosley ‘appears to be on
particularly close terms with Boothby’. It is stated that Boothby and Brendan Bracken, Minister of Information,
‘interested themselves’ in Mosley’s application for a British passport in May 1949, with Boothby approaching the
Foreign Office over the issue. BG Atkinson writes that Boothby ‘appears to sympathise with the fascist belief of the
evil of Jewish control through international finance’.

Boothby is understood to be supporting the idea of a Western European movement and it said to be ‘helping Mosley
in some way with the Germans’. Reports mention Boothby’s homosexuality. A memo of 10/07/1963 gives details of
Boothby’s first exchanges with the Kray brothers. The file includes newspaper cuttings such as the famous Sunday
Mirror front page headline of 12/07/1964: ‘Peer and a Gangster: Yard Probe’. MI5 note that the story ‘is hot in Fleet
Street’. An MI5 typed report of 15/07/64 gives a detailed account of the story, drawing on information from an inside
‘source’ (described as a ‘self confessed homosexual’), referring to the relationship between Boothby and his
chauffeur, Leslie Holt alias Johnny Kid(d), former boxer: ‘they are genuinely attached; this is no fly-by-night affair’.
The report also comments on the activities of the Kray brothers and, referring to Ronnie Kray and Boothby, states:
‘both are hunters (of young men)’. The Kray family house in Vallance Road (Bethnal Green) is mentioned in the
context of explaining about the Krays and their background. A note by Roger Hollis reveals that the Home Secretary
is concerned about the Sunday Mirror story and a ‘possible Profumo scandal’; however, Hollis sees no security issue.
MI5 passed on its information to Special Branch.
When the Mirror dropped the story, an MI5 official comments: ‘they doubt whether Boothby will sue, because he has
so much to hide’. On 11/09/64, information received from MI5’s source reveals that Leslie Holt was very angry as
Boothby has sacked him. There is a further allegation that Holt was threatened by Ronnie Kray and Boothby is
mentioned.

„In the debate over the Schuman Proposal, one of the advocates for British participation, the Conservative Robert
Boothby, told the House of Commons:
I do believe that there must be not so much a surrender as a merger or pooling of national sovereignty for specific
purposes... In the economic field it certainly involves the coordination of national monetary and fiscal policies and
the acceptance of the principle of planned international investment, production and trade, and the abandonment of the
principle of non-discrimination.
Boothby delivered a forewarning of ‘fortress Europe’ in this speech, and made clear he preferred building Europe so
as to remain open to international trade. The British functional approach’s insistence on membership variability and
opposition to a closed regional organization provides an explanation for the British opting out of European integration
in 1950. Boothby assured the House that he had never tried to disguise the fact that Britain was at the center of the
Commonwealth and could not enter a European political federation and that “our approach to the problem of
European unity must always be functional rather than constitutional.”
Boothby advocated British participation in the Schuman Plan by emphasizing its functional basis and ignoring
Monnet’s federal rhetoric. Boothby argued that the functional approach would break down national sovereignty
through ‘concrete’ practical action in both the political and economic spheres. Skeptics in his own government found
this as objectionable as the federalist argument. Boothby’s vision was certainly a long way from anything Bevin or
the Foreign Office had in mind in 1950. The British government saw functionalists like Boothby as the thin edge of
the continental federalist wedge. And so the distinction between the two— Boothby’s functionalism and continental
federalism—was viewed as only the difference between a slower or a quicker pace of integration. Bevin had made
clear “that on no account must HM Government come into any arrangement providing for an Authority independent
of the Government.”90“ Leslie Kroker, 203 f.

He arrived in Paris in November 1945 and organized anti-Communist unions, supporting in particular the creation of
the French Force ouvrière (FO) union (which he subsidized) by André Bergeron and Léon Jouhaux, in 1947, and the
Italian Confederation of Workers' Trade Unions (CISL), created in 1950.[3] Until 1986, Brown was present at all of
the annual congresses of FO. The AFL-CIO's Free Trade Union Committee subsidized FO and other anti-Communist
unions in Europe.
In 1949, alongside Jay Lovestone, he supported the spin-off of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions
(ICFTU) from the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU). The ICFTU included the AFL-CIO, the British Trades
Union Congress, the FO, the Italian Confederation of Workers' Trade Unions and the Spanish Unión General de
Trabajadores. Thereafter, the WFTU represented the Eastern Bloc while the ICFTU represented the so-called "free
world". As a friend of Averell Harriman, who was in charge of the Marshall Plan, Brown easily diverted funds from
the Marshall Plan to support anti-Communist organizations.
The following year, on June 26, 1950, Brown was part of the American delegation at the founding meeting of the
Congress for Cultural Freedom in Berlin.
By 1952, his activities were already well known: he was the subject of an article by Time magazine, titled "The Most
Dangerous Man." According to Time, he was charged of this mission by the AFL Free Trade Union Committee.
Brown gave financial support to anti-Communist movements which broke the 1947 strikes in Italy and France. He
also helped organize the anti-Communist coalition of free trade unions in Greece, as well as the Mediterranean Port
Committee, which wrested control of French, Italian and Greek ports from the Communists.
From 1951 to 1954, the CIA division headed by Thomas Braden provided $1 million a year to Brown and Lovestone
($1,600,000 in 1954).
In 1952 he was in Helsinki, supporting the unionists who had decided to vote to quit the World Federation of Trade
Unions (WFTU), then mainly composed of Communist unions.
During the Algerian War, he subsidized the Algerian National Movement (MNA), founded by Messali Hadj to oppose
the National Liberation Front (FLN).
He also participated, in Chile, to the struggle against Communists during Salvador Allende's presidency. In 1984, he
organized demonstrations which accompanied Mikhail Gorbachev's worldwide meetings.

In 1983, Brundtland was invited by then United Nations Secretary-General Javier Pérez de Cuéllar to establish
and chair the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED), widely referred to as the
Brundtland Commission. She developed the broad political concept of sustainable development in the course of
extensive public hearings, that were distinguished by their inclusiveness. The commission, which published its report,
Our Common Future, in April 1987, provided the momentum for the 1992 Earth Summit/UNCED, which was headed
by Maurice Strong, who had been a prominent member of the commission. The Brundtland Commission also
provided momentum for Agenda 21.

the Norwegian government in 1993 took the initiative to sponsor secret peace talks between the Government of Israel
led by Yitzchak Rabin - like Brundtland, leader of a Labour Party - and the PLO led by Yasser Arafat. This
culminated with the signing of the Oslo Accords. For several years afterwards Norway continued to have a high-
profile involvement in promoting Israeli-Palestinian peace, though increasingly displaced by the United States from
its role as the mediator.
In 1994, Brundtland was awarded the Charlemagne Prize of the city of Aachen.
5.1998-7.2003 Director General, WHO
In this capacity, Brundtland adopted a far-reaching approach to public health, establishing a Commission on
Macroeconomics and Health, chaired by Jeffrey Sachs, and addressing violence as a major public health issue.
Brundtland spearheaded the movement, now worldwide, to achieve the abolition of cigarette smoking by education,
persuasion, and increased taxation.
Under Brundtland's leadership, the World Health Organization was criticized for increased drug-company influence
on the agency.
In 2006 Brundtland was a member of the Panel of Eminent Persons who reviewed the work of the United Nations
Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). In May 2007, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon named
Brundtland, as well as Ricardo Lagos (the former president of Chile), and Han Seung-soo (the former foreign minister
of South Korea), to serve as UN Special Envoys for Climate Change.
Gro Harlem Brundtland is a member of the Council of Women World Leaders, an international network of current and
former women presidents and prime ministers whose mission is to mobilize collective action on issues of critical
importance to women and equitable development.
Brundtland is also a member of the Club of Madrid
Brundtland serves as Deputy Chair of The Elders
Brundtland narrowly escaped assassination by Anders Behring Breivik on 22 July 2011. She had been on the island of
Utøya hours before the massacre there to give a speech to the AUF camp; Breivik stated that he originally intended
Brundtland to be the main target of the attack (along with Eskil Pedersen and Jonas Gahr Støre), but he had been
delayed while travelling from Oslo. Breivik arrived on Utøya about two hours after Brundtland had left.
During his trial in 2012, Breivik revealed detailed assassination plans for Brundtland. He told the court that he had
planned to handcuff her and then record himself reading out a prepared text detailing her "crimes", before
decapitating her on camera using a bayonet and uploading the footage to the internet. Breivik said that while
Brundtland had been his main target, he had still planned to massacre everyone else on the island.

In 1949, Bundy took a position at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York to study Marshall Plan aid to

classified fact that there was a covert side to the Marshall Plan, where the CIA used certain funds to aid anti-
communist groups in France and Italy.[5]

Carl Jacob Burckhardt (September 10, 1891 – March 3, 1974) was a Swiss diplomat and historian. His career
alternated between periods of academic historical research and diplomatic postings; the most prominent of the latter
were League of Nations High Commissioner for the Free City of Danzig (1937–39) and President of the International
Committee of the Red Cross (1945–48).
He gained his first diplomatic experience in the Swiss legation in Austria from 1918 to 1922, a chaotic period
following the collapse of Austria-Hungary. While there, he became acquainted with Hugo von Hofmannsthal.

Aus Furcht vor einer Verstimmung der Nazis zwang Burckhardt 1942 das Komitee, Meldungen über die
Massenvernichtung der Juden in Polen und eine vorbereitete Protesterklärung gegen die Verletzung des Völkerrechts
zurückzuhalten.
Burckhardts Interventionen für die KZ-Insassen beschränkten sich im übrigen auf den Wunsch nach Trennung der
Kriminellen und Homosexuellen von den politischen Gefangenen. Die Berechtigung der Lager stellte er nie in Frage.
Mit dem Danziger Senatspräsidenten Greiser, der später im besetzten Polen grausam wütete, verstand sich Burckhardt
so gut, daß er sich sogar zu Denunziationen hinreißen ließ: Bei einem hohen Senatsbeamten mokierte sich Burckhardt
über den "übereifrigen" französischen Generalkonsul, der im polnischen Gdingen Kontakte zu "Juden und
Sozialdemokraten" unterhalte.
Die Verfolgung der Juden hielt der konservativ-autoritäre Burckhardt, wie viele seiner Zeitgenossen, für eine
häßliche, aber unbedeutende Nebensache. Anders als jene glaubte er zudem felsenfest an die baldige Zähmung des
Nationalsozialismus.
Deshalb versuchte er mit allen Mitteln, eine Verständigung zwischen dem Reich und Großbritannien einzufädeln.
Denn der einzige wirkliche Feind, glaubte der Schweizer, sei der Bolschewismus.

The Colonna family is an Italian noble family. It was powerful in medieval and Renaissance Rome, supplying one
Pope and many other Church and political leaders. The family is notable for its bitter feud with the Orsini family over
influence in Rome, until it was stopped by Papal Bull in 1511. In 1571, the heads of both families married nieces of
Pope Sixtus V. Thereafter, historians recorded that "no peace had been concluded between the princes of
Christendom, in which they had not been included by name"
The Colonna family have been Prince Assistants to the Papal Throne since 1710, though their papal princely title only
dates from 1854.
The main 'Colonna di Paliano' family is represented today by Prince Marcantonio Colonna di Paliano, Prince and
Duke of Paliano (b. 1948), whose heir is Don Giovanni Andrea Colonna di Paliano (b. 1975), and by Don Prospero
Colonna di Paliano, Prince of Avella (b. 1956), whose heir is Don Filippo Colonna di Paliano (b. 1995).
The 'Colonna di Stigliano' line is represented by Don Prospero Colonna di Stigliano, Prince of Stigliano (b. 1938),
whose heir is his nephew Don Stefano Colonna di Stigliano (b. 1975).

(near Tübingen) with about 30 trade unionists from two local factories (the topic was "Globalization and Labor").
Däubler-Gmelin, who has long been known for her outspokenness, later said she had been unaware that a reporter
from local newspaper Schwäbisches Tagblatt was present, insisting that she regarded the event as an internal meeting.
After discussion had turned to the Iraq crisis, she remarked that U.S. president Bush was preparing a war to detract
from domestic problems such as the economic crisis at the time, and that this was a popular political strategy which
had already been used by Adolf Hitler. When some participants showed disagreement, she added immediately that
this was not meant to liken Bush to Hitler as a person, but rather to compare their methods, and that British prime
minister Margaret Thatcher had also used the 1982 Falklands War to improve election prospects. She also described
the U.S. legal system as "lousy".
This was the version published by Schwäbisches Tagblatt (a paper widely regarded as liberal to leftist and respected
for its journalistic quality), which later stated that Däubler-Gmelin herself had confirmed the wording of the report, as
well as several present at the meeting. Another account of the meeting states that the Hitler comparison originated
from a participant and that Däubler-Gmelin had merely agreed that Hitler had used such tactics, too.
Immediately after the article had been published, Däubler-Gmelin strongly denied it, claiming to have been
misquoted. She also announced that she would sue the Schwäbische Tagblatt, but later chose not to do so. She
encountered heavy criticism for expressing anti-americanism by many both in Germany and abroad, including
members of the U.S. government such as Ari Fleischer and Condoleezza Rice [BB 08]. On September 20, Däubler-
Gmelin called U.S. Ambassador Dan Coats to state that the reports had no basis and Schröder wrote an apology letter
to Bush, stating "there is no place at my cabinet table for anyone who makes a connection between the American
president and such a criminal." He did not force her to resign immediately, claiming to trust her denial of the
quotation, but she was dropped from his new cabinet when it was formed a few weeks after his narrow re-election.
Between 2012 and 2013, Däubler-Gmelin served as member of the European Commission’s High Level Group on
Media Freedom and Pluralism, an adivsory panel set up by European Commissioner Neelie Kroes and chaired by
Vaira V??e-Freiberga.
She has voiced her support for the Campaign for the Establishment of a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly, an
organisation which campaigns for democratic reform in the United Nations, and the creation of a more accountable
international political system.
From 2012 to 2014, Däubler-Gmelin represented political group “Mehr Demokratie e.V.” (More Democracy) in its
unsuccessful constitutional complaint before the Federal Constitutional Court against Germany’s participation in the
European Stability Mechanism (ESM) and the European Fiscal Compact.

he was elected vice-secretary of the newly founded Christian Democratic Party. He was as one of the youngest party
leaders and a protégé of Alcide De Gasperi, the undisputed leader of the party for the following decade. Fanfani
represented a particular ideological position, that of conservative Catholics who favoured socio-economic
interventionism, which was very influential in the 1950s and 1960s but which gradually lost its appeal. "Capitalism
requires such a dread of loss," he once wrote, "such a forgetfulness of human brotherhood, such a certainty that a
man's neighbour is merely a customer to be gained or a rival to be overthrown, and all these are inconceivable in the
Catholic conception ... There is an unbridgeable gulf between the Catholic and the capitalist conception of life."
Private economic initiative, in his view, was justifiable only if harnessed to the common good.
Under de Gasperi, Fanfani took on a succession of ministries. He was Minister of Labour from 1947–1948 and again
from 1948–1950; Minister of Agriculture from 1951–1953; as well as Minister of the Interior in 1953 in the caretaker
government of Giuseppe Pella.
After the death of De Gasperi, from 1954 to the mid-1960s Fanfani's weight both in the party and in national politics
was at its height. He served as Prime Minister in several of governments, some of them short-lived. His first
government in 1954 lasted only 21 days when it failed to win approval in the Parliament. As Minister of the Interior,
with orders to step up measures against Communist subversion, Fanfani had named young (35) Giulio Andreotti,
another protégé of De Gasperi.
He became head of government again from July 1958 to January 1959, when his steamroller tactics lost him the
support of his own Christian Democratic colleagues. He learned from the experience, and became wiser in the ways
of cooperating and compromising. From July 1960 to February 1962 and from February 1962 to May 1963 he was the
prime minister once more, securing the support of the Italian Socialist Party (Italian: Partito Socialista Italiano, PSI),
thus involving the centre-left in Italian politics.
He had been a leading proponent of such an "opening to the centre-left" for years. The opportunity arose when a
liberal Pope, John XXIII, was elected in 1958, and the Socialists loosened their ties with the Communists.
A strong supporter of the European Economic Community (EEC), Fanfani was foreign minister in 1965 and in 1966-
68. He also served (1965–66) as president of the United Nations General Assembly - he is the only Italian to have
held this office.

Bush introduced in his 2002 State of the Union address. During Frum's time at the White House, he was described by

In 2007 the bank was sold to a consortium of three international banks after a take-over struggle. Groenink preferred
a complete takeover by Barclays but the combined share-holders preferred the higher offer from the consortium.
The takeover by the consortium lead to a split-up of the bank. Some international activities, such as ABN's Italian
daughter Antonveneta and Brazilian Banco Real would go to the Spanish bank Banco Santander.
The retail and private banking as well as the asset management activities of the bank in the Netherlands would go to
the Belgium based bank Fortis while the other international activities would go the RBS.
In March 2007 Groenink was proposed as new board-member of Royal Dutch Shell as successor of Aarnout Loudon.
Shortly after the announcement discussion broke out: people thought that Groenink should concentrate on his role at
the bank, especially because a fierce bidding-war had started between the consortium and Barclays. A large stock-
holder in both Shell and ABN AMRO, the ABP - the pension fund for all government and education personnel - was
against his appointment. The ABP thought that Groenink hadn't worked in the best interests of the shareholders of the
bank by defending the Barclays offer instead of the RFS offer. On 14 May 2007 - one day before the AGM Groenink
withdrew his availability for the position.
Both RBS and Fortis were hit very hard by the 2008 Banking Crisis and the following general financial economical
crisis. In the United Kingdom the government nationalized the RBS Group and in Belgium the Dutch and Belgian
government had to step in to avoid Fortis going bankrupt. Although the ABN AMRO takeover was not the root cause
of these banks' problems it worsened their financial situation and one of the results is that the rebranding of the Dutch
parts of ABN Amro to Fortis Bank is reversed: all Dutch activities of Fortis Bank Nederland NV have been bought by
the Dutch government and as a result the bank is a 100% state owned bank and marketed under the name ABN-Amro.

describe the way his statements are received, he referred to the "Moral club" (Moralkeule, as a stick), a phrase coined
by writer Martin Walser. In 1998, when one of Walser's speeches created huge controversy, Grosser publicly sided
with Walser.
„I am supporting Martin Walser's idea of the Auschwitz-club [as a stick]. Yes, I see that club, that is waved constantly
against Germans when they say something against Israel. When they do so still, then the club says directly: "I hit you
with Auschwitz". I find that unbearable. I have always fought anti-Semitism. And I will do it again! But equalizing
criticizing Israel with anti-Semitism directly – that is dishonest and leads to mistakes.“ Alfred Grosser, 2007
Grosser also holds to the opinion that Israel's politics inherently invoke anti-semitism. In 2003, Grosser left the board
of magazine L’Express because he believed its reporting on the Middle East was unbalanced.

His opposition to appeasement was nourished by his witnessing first-hand a Nuremberg Rallyin 1937, where he met
leading Nazis Hermann Göring, Joseph Goebbels and Heinrich Himmler at an SS cocktail party. He later described
Himmler as "the most evil man I have ever met".
In the summer of 1939, accompanied by his friend Madron Seligman, he travelled to Danzig and Poland. They made
the dangerous return journey by hitchhiking and rail across Germany, through mobilising troops, returning to Britain

In 1960 Macmillan appointed Heath Lord Privy Seal with responsibility for the negotiations to secure the UK's first
attempt to join the European Economic Community (as the European Communitywas then called). British entry was
vetoed by the French President, Charles de Gaulle, at a press conference in January 1963 – much to the
disappointment of Heath, who was a firm supporter of European common market membership for the United
Kingdom. However, he would oversee a successful application when serving in a higher position a decade later.

questioned the whereabouts of missing uranium from an AEC laboratory in Illinois and urged the removal of AEC

Holbrooke unexpectedly was appointed Ambassador to Germany. In 1992, Holbrooke was also a member of the
Carnegie Commission on America and a Changing World and Chairman and principal author of the bipartisan
Commission on Government and Renewal, sponsored by the Carnegie Foundationand the Peterson Institute. He was
Chairman and principal author of the "Memo to the President-Elect: Harnessing Process to Purpose," a blue-ribbon
Commission report sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the Institute for International
Economics.
While in Germany, Holbrooke also was a key figure in shaping the U.S. policy to promote NATO enlargement, as well
as its approach to the war in Bosnia.
In 1994, while serving as U.S. Ambassador to Germany, he conceived the idea of a cultural exchange center between
the people of Berlin and Americans. With Richard von Weizsäcker, former President of Germany, and Henry A.
Kissinger as co-Chairman, this institution—The American Academy in Berlin—was announced on September 9, 1994,
the day after the U.S. Army Berlin Brigade left Berlin. The American Academy in Berlin opened three years later in a
villa on the Wannsee once owned by the German-Jewish banker Hans Arnhold. It is now one of the most important
links between Germany and the United States.
1996- Credit Suisse First Boston, eventually taking the position of Vice Chairman
During 1998 and 1999, in his capacity as special presidential envoy, Holbrooke worked to end the conflict
between the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), who
were fighting for an independent Kosovo in the Kosovo War. Holbrooke returned to Bosnia two years later to
the city of Sarajevo. In March 1999 he traveled to Belgrade to deliver the final ultimatum to Yugoslav president
Slobodan Milošević before the NATO attack began.
According to Radovan Karadžić and Muhamed Sacirbey, ex-Bosnian Foreign Minister, Holbrooke signed an
agreement with Karadžić that if the latter withdrew from politics he would not be sent to the Hague tribunal.
In August 1999, Holbrooke was sworn-in as the 22 nd U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations
1999-2001 Ambassador to UN
Holbrooke was Clinton's lead foreign policy advisor in her campaign for president and was believed to be her
preferred choice for Secretary of State. When Obama defeated Clinton and selected her as Secretary of State,
Holbrooke was her preferred option for Deputy Secretary of State, but was vetoed by Obama.
Holbrooke was the vice chairman of Perseus LLC, a leading private equity firm.
2.2001-7.2008 member of the Board of Directors of American International Group
He was a member of the board of directors of the Council on Foreign Relations in New York and formerly served on

Strategic Studies, the Citizens Committee for New York City, and the Economic Club of New York. Other board
memberships included Partnership for a Secure America, and the National Endowment for Democracy.

Johnson was a bundler for the Obama campaign, raising between $200,000 and $500,000.
On June 4, 2008 [= 1 day before the beginning of the Bilderberg Conference in Virginia, USA where Obama is

In September 1952, Kennan made a misstatement that cost him his ambassadorship. In an answer to a question at a
press conference, Kennan compared his conditions at the ambassador's residence in Moscow to those he had
encountered while interned in Berlin during the first few months of the Second World War. While his statement was
not unfounded, the Soviets took it as an implied analogy with Nazi Germany. The Soviets then declared Kennan
persona non grata and refused to allow him to re-enter the Soviet Union. Kennan acknowledged in retrospect that it
was a "foolish thing for me to have said".
Kennan returned to Washington, where he became embroiled in disagreements with Dwight D. Eisenhower's hawkish
secretary of State, John Foster Dulles. Even so he was able to work constructively with the new administration.
l壱Sir John "The Younger" Keswick, or Sir John Keswick, KCMG (1906–1982)
John followed his brother to the far east in 1929 and replaced him in Shanghai after the shooting incident. He fled the
city when the Japanese took Shanghai. He escaped with his wife Clare to Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and served during the
war with Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten's staff.
John Keswick returned to Shanghai after the war to organize in the rebuilding of Jardine's office and to reestablish the
firm's trading links throughout China and Asia. In 1949, after the communist party's takeover of China, Jardine's head
office was moved to Hong Kong. Despite attempting to work with the communists, business conditions became
worse. Operations were closed in 1954 with the effective nationalisation of the company's interests and a $20m loss.
John Keswick became a member of the Hong Kong Executive Council in 1952. He retired as Tai-pan in 1953 and
joined Matheson & Co in 1956. He returned temporarily as non-executive Chairman of Jardine Matheson in Hong
Kong from 1970 to 1972. While in England, he and his brother financed the buy-out and then public flotation of
Jardine Matheson.
Nach der Machtergreifung wurde dieser Beschluss über die Unvereinbarkeit von NSDAP-Mitgliedschaft und
katholischer Verbindung auf einer Tagung des Kartellverbandes am 23. April 1933 wieder aufgehoben. Kiesinger – zu
dieser Zeit noch Referendar und Repetitor – war schon vor diesem Beschluss (nämlich Ende Februar 1933) in die
NSDAP eingetreten. Denn er gehörte auch zu den jungen Akademikern, die „angesteckt von der NS-Ideologie, von
einer starken Deutschtümelei und einem starken Nationalbewußtsein infiziert waren und sich begeistert den
Nationalsozialisten anschlossen.“ Kiesinger trat auch in die SA-Abteilung Nationalsozialistisches Kraftfahrkorps
(NSKK) ein.
Kiesinger erhielt die Mitgliedsnummer 2633930. Zu seinen Beweggründen für den Beitritt äußerte Kiesinger sich
später verschiedentlich. 1989 behauptete er in seinen Memoiren, er habe Exzesse verhüten wollen, und sei in die
NSDAP eingetreten, um ihre Ideologie zu verändern. Er behauptete dort auch, dass sein Motiv am Anfang gewesen
sei, der antisemitischen Rassenpropaganda entgegenzuwirken. Das erachtet sein Biograph Gassert 2006 für
unglaubwürdig.
Als er im Jahr 1940 seinen Gestellungsbefehl erhielt, entschloss er sich, um dem Dienst in der Wehrmacht zu
entgehen, eine Stellung im Reichsaußenministerium unter v. Ribbentrop anzunehmen. Diese Anstellung vermittelte
ihm sein Schüler Karl-Heinz Gerstner. Kiesinger stieg dort bis zum stellvertretenden Leiter der Rundfunkpolitischen
Abteilung auf, die für die Überwachung und Beeinflussung des ausländischen Rundfunks (siehe auch „Feindsender“)
zuständig war. Unter anderem war er für die Verbindung zum Reichspropagandaministerium von Joseph Goebbels
zuständig, mit dem seine Abteilung Kompetenzstreitigkeiten hatte. Kiesinger blieb bis 1945 Mitglied der NSDAP.
Entgegen Kiesingers Rechtfertigung 1947, er sei nie offiziell auf die Position eines stellvertretenden Abteilungsleiters
berufen worden, führte der Geschäftsverteilungsplan des Auswärtigen Amtes Kiesinger eindeutig als stellvertretenden
Leiter der Rundfunkpolitischen Abteilung.
Am 30. April 1945 wurde Kiesinger in Benediktbeuren von der amerikanischen Besatzungsmacht verhaftet, weil er in
der NSDAP gewesen war und wie viele verdächtig war, zu den nationalsozialistischen Funktionären gehört zu haben,
ohne dass eine konkrete Schuldvermutung vorlag. Kiesinger hatte den Amerikanern zuerst keine Auskünfte zur Person
gegeben, so konnte er fälschlicherweise verdächtigt werden, Zuträger des SD gewesen zu sein. Kiesinger saß 18
Monate lang in verschiedenen Internierungslagern in Haft, zum Schluss im Lager 74 in Ludwigsburg. Am 17.
September 1946 wurde Kiesinger aus der Haft entlassen und verzog nach Scheinfeld bei Würzburg, den Wohnsitz
seiner Schwiegereltern, wo sich auch Frau und Kinder befanden. Danach durchlief Kiesinger das deutsche
Entnazifizierungsverfahren. Zunächst wurde er als ehemaliges NSDAP-Mitglied als Mitläufer eingestuft. Im Jahr
1948 entlastete ihn auf sein Betreiben ein Spruchkammergericht vollständig. Anschließend begann er eine Tätigkeit
als Rechtsanwalt in Tübingen und Würzburg.
Von 1949 bis zum 19. Februar 1959 und noch einmal von 1969 bis 1980 war Kiesinger Mitglied des Deutschen
Bundestags.
Kiesinger galt als exzellenter Redner. In den 1950er-Jahren unterstützte Kiesinger die Außenpolitik Adenauers. Seine
Debatten mit dem ebenso redegewandten Fritz Erler von der SPD schrieben Parlamentsgeschichte. Adenauer machte
Kiesinger dennoch nicht zum Minister. Dies war einer der Gründe dafür, dass Kiesinger 1958 als Ministerpräsident
nach Stuttgart ging.
Von 1954 bis 1957 war Kiesinger Vorsitzender der Deutschen Parlamentarischen Gesellschaft e.V. Vom 1. Juli 1956
bis zum 19. März 1958 gehörte er auch dem Europaparlament an. Außerdem war er von 1955 bis 1959 Vizepräsident
der parlamentarischen Versammlung des Europarates, 1957/58 dort gleichzeitig Fraktionsvorsitzender der EVP-
Fraktion, und in der parlamentarischen Versammlung der WEU 1956 bis 1958 Vorsitzender der Fraktion der
Christlichen Demokraten und britischen Konservativen.
Am 27. Oktober 1966 zog die FDP nach einer Auseinandersetzung über den Bundeshaushalt ihre vier Minister aus der
Regierung von Ludwig Erhard zurück. Obwohl Erhard noch immer Bundeskanzler und auch CDU-Vorsitzender war,
beschloss die CDU/CSU-Bundestagsfraktion, einen neuen Kanzlerkandidaten zu wählen, der die Regierungskrise
überwinden sollte.
Wenige Tage vor dessen Rücktritt mit Kanzler Erhard (links), 25. November 1966
Am 10. November setzte sich Kiesinger im dritten Wahlgang gegen den damaligen Bundesaußenminister Gerhard
Schröder (CDU) und den CDU/CSU-Fraktionsvorsitzenden Rainer Barzel durch. Bundestagspräsident Eugen
Gerstenmaier hatte zugunsten Kiesingers verzichtet.
Kiesinger verhandelte zwecks Regierungsbildung zunächst mit dem bisherigen Koalitionspartner FDP; dies wurde am
25. November für gescheitert erklärt. Stattdessen konnte Kiesinger am 26. November die Einigung zu einer großen
Koalition mit der bisherigen Oppositionspartei SPD vermelden. Diese überraschende Entscheidung besiegelten
Kiesinger und der SPD-Vorsitzende Brandt mit einem etwas zaghaften Händedruck vor den berichtenden Journalisten.
David Patrick Maxwell Fyfe, 1st Earl of Kilmuir, GCVO, PC, QC (29 May 1900 – 27 January 1967), known as Sir
David Maxwell Fyfe from 1942 to 1954 and as the Viscount Kilmuir from 1954 to 1962, was a British Conservative
politician, lawyer and judge who combined an industrious and precocious legal career with political ambitions that
took him to the offices of Solicitor General, Attorney General, Home Secretary and Lord High Chancellor of Great
Britain
One of the prosecutors at the Nuremberg Trials, he was instrumental in drafting the European Convention on Human
Rights.
In March 1942, Sir Winston Churchill, on the advice of Brendan Bracken, appointed Maxwell Fyfe Solicitor-General.
At the same time he was knighted and sworn to the Privy Council. He applied himself to his work in the wartime
coalition government with enormous industry and began some of the thinking and planning about how the leaders of
the Nazi regime in Germany might be brought to account after the war. As part of his duties, on 8 April 1945, he
attended an Anglo-American discussion over the war crimes trial, at which, says the historian Richard Overy, "he
presented the standard British argument for summary execution." Whether Maxwell Fyfe believed such executions
were the best method of dealing with the Nazis may be doubted, in view of his later work at the Nuremberg Trials; at
the time, however, as a member of the government he had little choice but to follow the lead of the Prime Minister,
Churchill, who repeatedly urged that summary justice be visited upon the Nazi leaders. When the war ended and the
coalition was dissolved in May 1945, Maxwell Fyfe was briefly Attorney-General in Churchill's caretaker
government.
After Nuremberg, Maxwell Fyfe returned to parliament to shadow the Minister of Labour while simultaneously
pursuing a full, busy and successful career at the Bar. Reputedly, he would arrive at the House of Commons at around
5.00 pm, often stay throughout debates that lasted all night then, after a quick shave and breakfast, leave for court.
Maxwell Fyfe played a leading role in drafting the Party's Industrial Charter of 1947 and chaired the committee into
Conservative Party organisation that resulted in the Maxwell Fyfe Report (1948–49). The report shifted the balance
of electoral funding from the candidate to the Party, with the intention of broadening the diversity of MPs. In practice,
it may have had the effect of lending more power to constituency parties and making candidates more uniform.
Maxwell Fyfe was a champion of European integration and a member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council
of Europe from August 1949 to May 1952, becoming the Chair of the Assembly's Committee on Legal and
Administrative Questions, and rapporteur on the committee drafting the European Convention on Human Rights.
In 1954 he was raised to the peerage as Viscount Kilmuir, of Creich in the County of Sutherland, and moved to the
House of Lords and the "woolsack". Lord Kilmuir was a political Lord Chancellor, not restricting himself to his
judicial role. He worked on many government issues including the constitution of Malta, which he wanted to become
part of the UK, and the creation of the Restrictive Practices Court.
„had served in the Army Counterintelligence Corps at the close of World War II and stayed on active duty in occupied
West Germany after the war.“ e.g. Support for the recrutiment of ex-Nazi intelligence officers for anti-Soviet
operations inside the Soviet bloc. „After entering Harvard as an undergraduate in 1947, at age twenty-four, he
retained his ties, as a reserve officer, to military intelligence. By 1950, he was ... working part-time for the
Department of Defense ... as a consultant to its Operations Research Office. That unit ... conducted highly classified
studies on such topics as the utilization of former German operatives and Nazi partisan supporters in CIA clandestine
activities.

In 1955 Kissinger was already known to insiders for his closeness to Rockefeller [David or Nelson?] and
Rockefeller's reliance on him.

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.
Keen to have a greater influence on U.S. 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.
1968- National Security Advisor.
This paved the way for the groundbreaking 1972 summit between Nixon, Zhou, and Communist Party of China
Chairman Mao Zedong, as well as the formalization of relations between the two countries, ending 23 years of
diplomatic isolation and mutual hostility. The result was the formation of a tacit strategic anti-Soviet alliance between
China and the United States.
Documents show that Kissinger delayed telling President Richard Nixon about the start of the Yom Kippur War in
1973 to keep him from interfering. On October 6, 1973, the Israelis informed Kissinger about the attack at 6 am;
Kissinger waited nearly 3 and a half hours before he informed Nixon.
According to Kissinger, in an interview in November 2013, he was notified at 6:30 a.m. (12:30 p.m. Israel time) that
war was imminent, and his urgent calls to the Soviets and Egyptians were ineffective. He says Golda Meir's decision
not to preempt was wise and reasonable, balancing the risk of Israel looking like the aggressor and Israel's actual
ability to strike within such a brief span of time.
The war began on October 6, 1973, when Egypt and Syria attacked Israel. Kissinger published lengthy telephone
transcripts from this period in the 2002 book Crisis. On October 12, under Nixon's direction, and against Kissinger's
initial advice, while Kissinger was on his way to Moscow to discuss conditions for a cease-fire, Nixon sent a message
to Brezhnev giving Kissinger full negotiating authority.
On October 31, 1973, Egyptian Foreign Minister Ismail Fahmi meets with Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger, about
a week after the end of fighting in the Yom Kippur War.
As National Security Advisor, in 1974 Kissinger directed the much-debated National Security Study Memorandum
200.
Kissinger left office when a Democrat, former Governor of Georgia Jimmy Carter, defeated Republican Gerald Ford
in the 1976 presidential elections. Kissinger continued to participate in policy groups, such as the Trilateral
Commission, and to maintain political consulting, speaking, and writing engagements.

1977- International Advisory Council, Chase Manhattan
„die Chase Manhattan Bank entschlossen. Extra für Henry Kissinger hat das New Yorker Geldinstitut in seinem
„internationalen Beirat“ den neuen Stuhl eines stellvertretenden Vorsitzenden aufgestellt. Anfang nächsten Jahres,
wenn der Boß der Royal Durch Petroleum Company, John H. Loudon, in den Ruhestand tritt, soll Kissinger dann
Vorsitzender dieses Gremiums werden. (...) Wird Kissinger damit der neue „Außenminister“ der Chase? (...) Obwohl
nur an dritter Stelle unter den Großbanken dieser Welt, ist es der Chase dank der magischen Wirkung des Namens
„Rockefeller“ gelungen, ihrem 22köpfigen internationalen Beirat das Flair des Superexklusiven zu geben. Zu den
illustren Figuren dieses Kreises mächtiger Männer gehören neben Super-Henry auch Fiat-Boß Agnelli, Schiffsmagnat
Y. K. Pao, der indische Industriekönig Tata und der frühere US-Finanzminister Dillon. Für Bosch-Chef Merkle, der
hier für Deutschland spricht, ist das sicher genau das richtige Publikum. (...) Die Rockefeller sind zwar der größte
Einzelaktionär der Chase, aber ihr Aktienpaket umfaßt dennoch nicht mehr als ein Prozent aller Anteile. Auf dieser
Grundlage läßt sich die Chefposition schwer vererben – zumal kein geeigneter Erbe da ist. Aus der jüngsten
Generation des Rockefeller-Clans fühlt sich niemand zum Banker berufen. Bei der Chase erfolgt aber mit Errreichen
des 65. Lebensjahres normalerweise die Zwangspensionierung.“ Die Zeit vom 15. April 1977 (und natürlich kein

investigate the September 11 attacks
Kissinger stepped down as chairman on December 13, 2002 rather than reveal his
business client list, when queried about potential conflicts of interest
On 5 March 2014, before the 16 March referendum in Crimea, the Washington Post published a op-ed piece by
Kissinger. In it, he attempted to balance the Ukrainian, Russian and Western desires for a functional state. He made
four propositions:
1. Ukraine should have the right to choose freely its economic and political associations, including with Europe.
2. Ukraine should not join NATO, a repetition of the position he took seven years before.
3. Ukraine should be free to create any government compatible with the expressed will of its people. Wise Ukrainian
leaders would then opt for a policy of reconciliation between the various parts of their country. He imagined an
international position for Ukraine like that of Finland.
4. Ukraine should maintain sovereignty over Crimea.
Kissinger also wrote: "The west speaks Ukrainian; the east speaks mostly Russian. Any attempt by one wing of
Ukraine to dominate the other — as has been the pattern — would lead eventually to civil war or break up."

In 1976 „Brzezinski, Rockefeller, Owen and Andrew Knight ... met informally to discuss whether it would be possible
to replace Bilderberg by adding an annual event equivalent to the TriCom. The idea was Brzezinski's. The small
circle of men, and the fact that the meeting is not referenced in any internal TriCom sources, testifies to the delicacy
of the subject. (...) The idea was temporarily abandoned, but discussed again, more openly, by the TriCom leadership
in 1978. (...) the considerations show that the ... TriCom had in a few years ... managed to establish itself as the
central informal elite arena on a transnational level.“ Knudsen 2016: 54

In early 2003, he pronounced himself in favour of removing Saddam Hussein as President of Iraq, arguing that
interference against dictatorship should be a global priority, and continued to say that now, the focus should be on the
actual people themselves, and that they are the only ones who could answer yes or no to war.
In a 4 February 2003 editorial with Antoine Veil in Le Monde, entitled "Neither War Nor Saddam", Kouchner said
that he was opposed to the impending War in Iraq, and, as the title suggests, to the remaining in power of Saddam
Hussein, the removal of whom should be accomplished via a concerted UN, preferably diplomatic, solution.
Kouchner is a well-known pro-European.
In 2005, Kouchner was a candidate for the position of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR),
but lost the appointment in favor of former Portuguese Prime Minister, António Guterres [BB 90, 05], who was
nominated by then-UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan.

On 3 August 2011, a French court ordered an investigation into Lagarde's role in a €403 million arbitration deal in
favour of businessman Bernard Tapie. On 20 March 2013, Lagarde's apartment in Paris was raided by French police
as part of the investigation. On 24 May 2013, after two days of questioning at the Court of Justice of the Republic
(CJR), Lagarde was assigned the status of "assisted witness", meaning that she was not herself under investigation in
the affair. According to a press report from June 2013, Lagarde has been described by Stéphane Richard, the CEO of
France Telecom (a former aide to Lagarde when she was Finance Minister), who has himself been put under formal
investigation in the case, as having been fully briefed before approving the arbitration process which benefitted
Bernard Tapie. Subsequently, in August 2014 the CJR announced that it had formally approved a negligence
investigation into Lagarde's role in the arbitration of the Tapie case. On 17 December 2015, the CJR ordered Lagarde
to stand trial before it for alleged negligence in handling the Tapie arbitration approval. In December 2016, the court
found Lagarde guilty of negligence, but declined to impose a penalty.

Ledeen was involved in the Iran–Contra affair as a consultant of National Security Advisor Robert C. McFarlane.
Ledeen vouched for Iranian intermediary Manucher Ghorbanifar. In addition, he met with Israeli Prime Minister
Shimon Peres, officials of the Israeli Foreign Ministry and the Central Intelligence Agency to arrange meetings with
high-ranking Iranian officials, whereby U.S supported Iranians would be given weapons by Israel, and would proceed
to negotiate with Hizbollah for the release of hostages in Lebanon. Ledeen's own version of the events is published in
his book, Perilous Statecraft.
Ledeen specifically called for the deposition of Saddam Hussein's regime by force in 2002.
Ledeen is a long-time foe of Iran. He believed that invading the country should have been the first priority in the "war
on terror" in 2003 rather than Iraq. He believes that “everything traces back to Tehran”.

Luns demonstrated a preference for conservative and authoritarian political parties and an interest in international
politics. As a young student he positioned himself on the political right, favoring a strong authority for the state and
being of the opinion that socialism, because of its idealistic ideology, had fostered the rise of fascism and nazism.
Luns himself had been a silent member of the National Socialist Movement in the Netherlands (NSB) but left in 1936
before this party chose a strongly anti-Semitic course.
He joined the Dutch Diplomatic Service in 1938 and, after a two-year assignment at the Private Office of the Foreign
Minister, was appointed as attaché in Bern (Switzerland) in 1940. In late 1941, he moved to Lisbon, Portugal. In both
countries, he was involved in assistance to Dutch refugees, political espionage and counterintelligence. In 1943, he
was transferred to the Dutch embassy in London. Ambassador E. Michiels van Verduynen discovered Luns's great
affinity for the political element in international affairs and entrusted him with important files on Germany, which
Luns handled with great skill.
In 1949, Luns was appointed as deputy Dutch permanent representative to the United Nations. He worked closely
with his new chief, Von Balluseck, a political appointee without diplomatic experience. After the Netherlands became
a member of the Security Council, he temporarily chaired the Disarmament Commission.
His co-minister was Johan Willem Beyen, an international banker not affiliated to any political party but the protégé
of Queen Juliana. The two ministers had a completely different style of operating and clashed repeatedly on policy
even before the end of 1952. However, they accommodated and avoided future conflicts by a very strict division of
labour. Luns was responsible for bilateral relations,Benelux and international organisations. After the 1956 elections,
Beyen left office and Luns stayed as Foreign Minister until 1971 in both center-left and center-right governments.
Bilateral relations with Indonesia and the Federal Republic of Germany, security policy and European integration
were the most important issues during his tenure.
Atlantic cooperation was a fundamental aspect of Luns's foreign policy, and Dutch foreign policy in general. Luns
believed that Western Europe could not survive the Cold War without American nuclear security and so he promoted
strong and intensified political and military cooperation in NATO.
European integration was permanently on Luns's political agenda. Beyen had introduced the concept of the European
Economic Community. In March 1957, Luns signed the Treaties of Rome establishing the EEC and Euratom.
Luns played a vital role in the negotiations unwinding French participation and continuing its political membership of
the Alliance. By then, Luns had internationally established his reputation as an able and reliable negotiator and was
seen as an important asset in London and Washington.
Throughout his years as Dutch foreign minister, Luns had gained an international status uncommon for a foreign
minister of a small country.
In 1971, Luns was appointed as NATO Secretary-General. At the time of his appointment, public protests against
American policies in Vietnam were vehement throughout Western Europe and among European politicians the
credibility of the American nuclear protection was in doubt. Though there were initial doubts about his skills for the
job he soon proved that he was capable of managing the alliance in crisis. He regarded himself as the spokesman of
the alliance and he aimed at balancing the security and political interests of the alliance as a whole.

He tried to divert the organization from its course as a purely technical authority for the administration of the

1958-1967 European Commissioner for Economy and Finance
In 1962, with Robert Triffin, Belgian-American economist and CFR member and economic adviser to the Action
Committee for the United States of Europe of Jean Monnet, Robert Marjolin devised a programme of action for the
second stage of the European Economic Community. Conforming with the wishes of Walter Hallstein, the programme
proposed to refashion the Treaty of Rome in a more federalist direction, opening the road to the realisation of
economic and monetary union.
Robert Marjolin detested Charles de Gaulle, who returned the compliment.

During his tenure in the U.S. Senate, Nunn served as chairman of the powerful U.S. Senate Committee on Armed
Services and the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. He also served on the Intelligence and Small Business

2.1974 Peccei [BB 63, 64, 67, 68] persuaded the Austrian Chancellor, Bruno Kreisky, to
host a meeting on North-South problems in Salzburg, Austria. Besides Bruno Kreisky [BB prov 67, 79], the following
heads of state of government were present in Salzburg: Leopold Senghor, President of Senegal; Luis Echeverría,
President of Mexico; Joop den Uyl [BB 85], Prime Minister of the Netherlands; Olof Palme [BB 65, 73, 83] , Prime
Minister of Sweden; Pierre Trudeau [BB 68, 83, 85], Prime Minister of Canada; as well as the representatives of the
Prime Ministers of Algeria and Ireland. Peccei deliberately did not invite any of the major European powers, the
United States of America or the Soviet Union so as to prevent the debate turning into a forum for national or
ideological position statements. To encourage the participants to speak freely, they were asked to come without
accompanying civil servants and assured that nothing they said would be attributed to them. The two-day private
brainstorming meeting ended with a press conference for 300 journalists.
As a logical extension of the Salzburg meeting, Peccei asked Jan Tinbergen to produce a follow-up report on global
food and development policies, exploring these aspects much more thoroughly than the coverage in "The Limits to
Growth". Scholars from the First, Second and Third Worlds were invited to participate in the RIO project (Reshaping
the International Order), though only Poland and Bulgaria accepted from the Communist bloc. The basic thesis was
that the gap between rich and poor countries (with the wealthiest roughly 13 times richer than the poorest) was
intolerable and the situation was inherently unstable, and that ways should be searched for to try to reduce the gap to
6:1 over the next 15 to 30 years.
The main report argued that people in the rich countries would have to change their patterns of consumption and
accept lower profits, but a dissenting group saw consumption as a symptom rather than a cause of the problems,
which stemmed rather from the fundamental power structure. [Wer?]

Member of Parliament I insited on not assuming any additional responsibilities on a longer baiss. (...) If I were asked
to suggest a possible candidate from Greece for the Steering Committee I would recommend without reservation Mr.
Nickolas Kyriazidis, Deputy Governor of the Bank of Greece and Chairman of the Interdepartemental Commission
for European Cooperation, a man of high standing and sense of responsibility. Another very good candidate would be
Mr. Costas Carras, a well known, relatively young, shipowner and business man, with a sense of moral duty, engaged
in matters of public interest, such as the protection of our physical and cultural environment. (...)
Miranda and myself had the pleasant surprise and great pleasure of meeting Princess Christine and her husband in

An official commission in 1946 recognized his long lasting opposition to the Nazis and the help he gave to the
Résistance and let him totally free of any charge.
In 1944 he was first placed on house arrest, and stripped of his right to be candidate to an election on 5 September
1945. After the intervention of René Cassin, the vice-president of the Conseil d'État, who pointed his fierce
opposition to the German occupation, his citizen rights were restored on 5 October 1945. On 2 June 1946 he could
successfully run for election to the Assemblée Constituante as a moderate candidate.[3]
He helped create a conservative party, the National Center of Independents and Peasants (CNIP). He acquired the
reputation as one of France's more spirited politicians and in 1952 became Prime Minister in 1952 by virtue of being
the most popular elected CNIP official. His ministry was seen as the return of the "classical right", discredited since
the Liberation. He stabilized the finances of the French nation and the French currency.
In 1955, he was one of the participants of the Messina Conference, which would lead to the Treaty of Rome in 1957.
During the May 1958 crisis precipitated by the Algerian war, he supported Charles de Gaulle's return to power and
approved of the Fifth Republic's constitution. He served as Finance Minister until 1960.

During the Reagan administration, Ross served as director of Near East and South Asian affairs in the National
Security Council and Deputy Director of the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment (1982–84)
In the mid-1980s Ross co-founded, with Martin Indyk, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)-
sponsored Washington Institute for Near East Policy ("WINEP")
Although Ross had worked for outgoing Republican President Bush (even assisting in his re-election effort),
incoming Democratic Secretary of State Warren Christopher asked Ross to stay on for a short time to help with early
Middle Eastern policy in the new administration.
In the summer of 1993 President Bill Clinton named Ross Middle East envoy. He helped the Israelis and Palestinians
reach the 1995 Interim Agreement on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and brokered the Protocol Concerning the
Redeployment in Hebron in 1997. He facilitated the Israel–Jordan peace treaty and also worked on talks between
Israel and Syria. Ross was criticized by people on both sides of the conflict. Former Palestinian Foreign Minister
Nabil Shaath described him as being more "pro-Israeli than the Israelis."
After leaving his position as envoy, Ross returned to the Washington Institute for Near East Policy as counselor and
Ziegler distinguished fellow. He became chair of the Jerusalem-based think tank, the Jewish People Policy Planning
Institute, funded and founded by the Jewish Agency in 2002.
During these years he taught classes at Marquette University, Brandeis University, Georgetown University and the
Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University
he signed two Project for a New American Century (PNAC) letters in support of the war in March 2003.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Ross, along with James Steinberg [BB 94, 2000, 2002-2003, 2006, 2009-2011]
and Daniel Kurtzer, were among the principal authors of presidential candidate Barack Obama's address on the

Ross was appointed Special Advisor for the Persian Gulf and Southwest Asia to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on
February 23, 2009.
On June 25, 2009 the White House announced that Ross was leaving the State Department to join the National
Security Council staff as a Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for the Central Region, with overall
responsibility for the region. The Central Region includes the Middle East, the Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, Pakistan
and South Asia
On November 10, 2011, Ross stepped down from his post in the Obama administration.
2011-2014 Director, Washington Institute for Near East Policy
Ross co-founded the advocacy group United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) with Ambassador Richard Holbrooke [BB

Management and Reform Mark Wallace.
Since the adoption of the (MDGs) in 2000, Sachs has been the leading academic scholar and practitioner on the
MDGs.[citation needed] He chaired the WHO Commission on Macroeconomics and Health (2000–01), which played
a pivotal role in scaling up the financing of health care and disease control in the low-income countries to support
MDGs 4, 5, and 6. He worked with UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in 2000–01 to design and launch The Global
Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. He worked closely with senior officials of the George W. Bush
administration to develop the PEPFAR program to fight HIV/AIDS, and the PMI to fight malaria. On behalf of
Annan, from 2002 to 2006 he chaired the UN Millennium Project, which was tasked with developing a concrete
action plan to achieve the MDGs.
Sachs has been a consistent critic of the International Monetary Fund and its policies around the world. He blasted
international bankers for what he claims is a pattern of ineffective investment strategies.

Er war als Wehrmachtsoffizier beteiligt an der Blockade von Leningrad, einer der schlimmsten Belagerung der
Geschichte, der 1,1 Millionen Zivilisten zum Opfer fielen. Dafür bekam er das eiserne Kreuz 2. Klasse.
als Militärexperte energisch eine atomare Bewaffnung der Bundeswehr ablehnte, also genau die Linie der Briten und
Amerikaner vertrat.
Gemeinsam mit dem französischen Staatspräsidenten Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, verbesserte Schmidt die deutsch-
französischen Beziehungen und verwirklichte entscheidende Schritte hin zur weiteren europäischen Integration. So
wurde kurz nach Schmidts Amtsübernahme der Europäische Rat etabliert, und auch die wirtschaftspolitisch
bedeutendste Maßnahme seiner Regierungszeit ergriff er in Zusammenarbeit mit Giscard: die Etablierung des
Weltwirtschaftsgipfels im Jahr 1975, der als informelle Zusammenkunft der Staats- und Regierungschefs der
bedeutendsten westlichen Demokratien geplant war, die Einführung des Europäischen Währungssystems und der
Europäischen Währungseinheit (ECU) zum 1. Januar 1979, aus denen später die Europäische Wirtschafts- und
Währungsunion und der Euro hervorgehen sollten. Auf eine Idee Schmidts und Giscards ging auch die Gründung der
Gruppe der 7 (G7) zurück.
Nach Rücktritt als Kanzler, verlor Schmidt in der SPD fast jede Unterstützung für seine Sicherheitspolitik: Auf dem
Kölner Parteitag der SPD vom 18. und 19. November 1983 stimmten von rund 400 Delegierten neben Schmidt nur 14
dem Seeheimer Kreis zugehörige Delegierte für den NATO-Doppelbeschluss
Helmut Schmidt war ein enger Freund des Bankiers, US-Offiziers und Gründers des deutsch-amerikanischen
Netzwerks Atlantik-Brücke, Eric M. Warburg. Außerdem verband ihn eine Freundschaft mit dem ehemaligen
Außenminister der Vereinigten Staaten, Henry Kissinger.
Paul Volcker, der weltweit überaus einflussreiche Direktor des American Council on Germany, langjähriges Mitglied
und ehemaliger Direktor des Council on Foreign Relations, Mitglied der Trilateralen Kommission und Vorsitzender
der US-Notenbank, gehörte seit über 40 Jahren zu seinen Vertrauten. Ebenso hielt Schmidt Kontakt zu John J.
McCloy, ehemals Präsident der Weltbank, Direktor des Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Vorstandsvorsitzender
der Chase Manhattan Bank sowie Initiator des deutsch-amerikanischen Netzwerks Atlantik-Brücke.

Sikorski was involved in the events of the winter 2014 Ukraine Euromaidan protests at the international level. He
signed on 21 February along with Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich and opposition leaders Vitaly Klitchko,
Arseniy Yatsenyuk, and Oleg Tyagnibok as well as the Foreign Ministers of Russia, France and Germany a
memorandum of understanding to promote peaceful changes in Ukrainian power.
Sikorski was the main architect, along with his Swedish counterpart and friend Carl Bildt, of the eastern policy of the
EU – which came to be called the Eastern Partnership
In June 2014, a magazine in Poland published redacted transcripts of an illegally-taped conversation between Sikorski
and the former Polish finance minister Jacek Rostowski. The recordings were believed to have been made in the
dining room of the Polish Business Council sometime between summer 2013 and spring 2014. Sikorski is heard
criticizing the British Prime Minister David Cameron for his handling of the EU's fiscal pact to appease Eurosceptics
in the Conservative Party.

he sometimes carried messages from one foreign leader to another; for U.S. President John F. Kennedy he conveyed a
note to Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev in 1961. Of all the leaders he befriended, it is said that he was closest to
President Charles de Gaulle of France.
In a 1977 article for Rolling Stone, "THE CIA AND THE MEDIA," journalist Carl Bernstein included Sulzberger in a
group of columnists and commentators whose CIA relationships Bernstein characterized as going "far beyond those
normally maintained between reporters and their sources." He cited CIA files as referring to Sulzberger as what the
agency called "known assets." Bernstein quoted unnamed CIA officials as saying Sulzberger at one time published a
briefing paper the CIA provided him almost verbatim under his byline.

„Die Liste der Thiel’schen Erfolge ist lang, an ihrem Anfang steht die Gründung Paypals. Er kassierte 55 Millionen
Dollar aus dem Verkauf des Internetbezahldienstes an Ebay. Im selben Jahr, da er Zuckerberg unter die Arme griff,
startete er Palantir Technologies: Deren Software hilft der Regierung, Kriminelle und Terroristen aufzuspüren. 30
Millionen Dollar investierte Thiel in die Firma, deren Marktwert heute bei 2,5 Milliarden Dollar liegt. Weitere
Beteiligungen hat er in der Risikokapitalgesellschaft Founders Fund gebündelt, die seit Jahren beträchtliche Gewinne
erzielt.“
„Im Oktober 2011 gründete er „Breakout Labs“, ein Förderprogramm für Forscher, die „radikalste Ideen verfolgen
und an den Grenzen von Wissenschaft und Technik rütteln“. In diesem Zusammenhang erscheint es nahezu logisch,
dass er auch in ein biotechnologisches Start-up investiert hat, das zunächst den Alterungsprozess und schlussendlich
auch den Tod überwinden will.

Im März 2006 wurde bekannt, dass die im Besitz des ÖGB befindliche Bank BAWAG im Herbst des Jahres 2000
knapp vor der Insolvenz gestanden war. Zur Abwendung der möglichen Insolvenz übernahm Verzetnitsch namens des
ÖGB eine Haftung für die Verbindlichkeiten der Bank, indem er den sogenannten Streikfonds des ÖGB verpfändete.
Er tat dies gemeinsam mit ÖGB-Finanzchef Günter Weninger – gleichzeitig BAWAG-Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender –
ohne das Präsidium des ÖGB darüber in Kenntnis zu setzen. Da die Insolvenz abgewendet werden konnte, wurde die
Haftung niemals schlagend. Dem ÖGB erwuchsen allerdings erhebliche finanzielle Nachteile beim wenig später
erfolgten Rückkauf der BAWAG-Anteile des früheren Miteigentümers Bayerische Landesbank, da die BAWAG durch
die verschleierten Verluste zu hoch bewertet wurde. Infolge des Skandals trat Fritz Verzetnitsch am 27. März 2006
von allen seinen gewerkschaftlichen und politischen Funktionen zurück - und wurde am 30. April vom ÖGB fristlos
entlassen.

After the 1991 Persian Gulf War, Wolfowitz and his then-assistant Scooter Libby wrote the "Defense Planning
Guidance of 1992", which came to be known as the Wolfowitz Doctrine, to "set the nation’s direction for the next
century." As military strategist Andrew Bacevich described the doctrine:
Before this classified document was fully vetted by the White House, it was leaked to The New York Times, which
made it front-page news. The draft DPG announced that it had become the "first objective" of U.S. policy "to prevent
the re-emergence of a new rival." With an eye toward "deterring potential competitors from even aspiring to a larger
regional or global role," the United States would maintain unquestioned military superiority and, if necessary, employ
force unilaterally. As window dressing, allies might be nice, but the United States no longer considered them
necessary.
At that time the official administration line was "containment", and the contents of Wolfowitz’s plan calling for
"preemption" and "unilateralism" which was opposed by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell and
President Bush. Defense Secretary Cheney produced a revised plan released in 1992. Many of the ideas in the
Wolfowitz Doctrine later became part of the Bush Doctrine.
Wolfowitz was associated with the Project for the New American Century (PNAC); he signed both the PNAC's
June 3, 1997 "Statement of Principles", and its January 26, 1998, open letter to President Bill Clinton.
Quote: “The truth is that for reasons that have a lot to do with the U.S. government bureaucracy, we settled on the one
issue that everyone could agree on which was weapons of mass destruction as the core reason [for going to war].”
[USA Today, 5/30/03]
In an interview at HSE's conference Yavlinsky stated that common disease for all states in the late 20th early 21st
century is states' merger with the business. Largely that's what resulted in economic crisis in the US. A fusion of Wall
Street and White House paralyzed all possibilities of Barack Obama other than to inject fresh money in the old
economy. Which doesn't have any prospect because of the level of public debt and poor quality of the state in
decision making.
In his opinion, the way to resolve the crisis was to bankrupt all the financiers and bankers who led to it. But
since there was too many of them, and in many respects the economy is dependent on them, it might lead to
greater social problems. In addition, they are very much integrated into the US power elites. Therefore, and
because of fears of social unrest, the US government saved them by giving them tax payers' money, helping
those who were actually responsible for creating the crisis. Doing it, officials hoped that the economy would work
and would start to grow after receiving a huge infusion. But despite Bush's administration 750 billion and Obama's
800 billion dollars investments nothing changed, economic activity wasn't growing because of markets' distrust.
