Not Happy Valentines Day



SAD SAD SAD
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

Fling you out into orbit
No one's going to hear you shout
And fools aren't going to follow
You don't need to sleaze about
Now you're sad sad sad
Sad sad sad
Sad sad sad
But you're gonna be fine
The elephant's in the bedroom
Throwing all his weight about
And I'm locked in the bathroom
Your screaams are gonna drown me out
Now you're sad sad sad
Sad sad sad
Sad sad sad
But you're gonna be fine
I got a cold chill I get a cool thrill
Are you ready for the gilded cage
Are you ready for the tears of rage
Come on baby, don't let them drown you out
Now you're sad sad sad
Sad sad sad
Sad sad sad
But you're gonna be fine
You're gonna be fine
You're gonna be fine.....



I guess it’s a blogging kind of week. This was Purpleaura’s dream from February 4th, 2009:

I had a dream that I was talking on the cell phone to my mum which I never do. I seem to be in a major city, don’t know if it’s in the US or UK. So as I’m walking and talking people are looking up in the sky (including myself), because there’s this weird noise as a passenger plane makes this horrible choking sound. It was strange because as we’re watching, the plane changed directions from anti-clockwise and then suddenly the plane’s nose was facing us. We knew it was coming down and they couldn’t do anything about it. The plane was blue and had a red stripe on the tail. I turned around and notice a fireball coming at me then the plane crashed and then nothing.

February 13, 2009

A commuter aircraft crashed into a house near Buffalo, N.Y., on Thursday night, sending flames shooting into the sky and killing 49 people on board and one on the ground.

It was originally thought that there were only 48 people were on the flight — 44 passengers, two pilots and two flight attendants. But Colgan Air Inc., a regional carrier for Continental, said another off-duty pilot had also boarded the flight.

While residents of the neighbourhood where the plane went down were used to planes rumbling overhead, witnesses said this one sounded louder than usual, sputtered and made some odd noises.

The plane's tail section and rear fuselage were largely intact and burning at the scene.

Yep, sounds like the same incident all right. Our hearts go out to all those involved.

So besides that major weirdness, there are few other things to note as there seems to be more to this crash than meets the eye. Yes there may be a conspiracy involved.

Purpleaura lives in Florida and it seems everywhere I look Florida is being mentioned regarding this disaster. I thought Colgan sounded a lot like Colgate so I began to wonder who may have been on board the fateful flight.

A Sept. 11 widow and activist named Beverly Eckert was among the 50 people killed in the Continental Flight 3407 crash near Buffalo.

Eckert had been part of a small group of Sept. 11 widows, mothers, and children who became amateur lobbyists on Capitol Hill following the terrorist attacks. Her team ultimately forced lawmakers in 2004 to pass sweeping reforms of the U.S. intelligence reform law.

As co-chair of the "9-11 Family Steering Committee," she pushed for a 9-11 Commission. She pushed the Bush administration to provide more information to the commission, and when the commission's work was over, she pushed Congress to adopt their recommendations.
.

Last week, Eckert met Obama in the White House with other relatives of the victims of Sept. 11 and the bombing of the USS Cole to discuss the new administration's fight against terror.

Eckert’s parents are currently vacationing in Florida. She was returning to her home town of Buffalo to celebrate what would have been her late husband’s 58th birthday.

My Silence Cannot Be Bought

by Beverly Eckert

I’ve chosen to go to court rather than accept a payoff from the 9/11 victims compensation fund. Instead, I want to know what went so wrong with our intelligence and security systems that a band of religious fanatics was able to turn four U.S passenger jets into an enemy force, attack our cities and kill 3,000 civilians with terrifying ease. I want to know why two 110-story skyscrapers collapsed in less than two hours and why escape and rescue options were so limited.

I am suing because unlike other investigative avenues, including congressional hearings and the 9/11 commission, my lawsuit requires all testimony be given under oath and fully uses powers to compel evidence.

The victims fund was not created in a spirit of compassion. Rather, it was a tacit acknowledgement by Congress that it tampered with our civil justice system in an unprecedented way. Lawmakers capped the liability of the airlines at the behest of lobbyists who descended on Washington while the Sept. 11 fires still smoldered.

And this liability cap protects not just the airlines, but also World Trade Center builders, safety engineers and other defendants.

The caps on liability have consequences for those who want to sue to shed light on the mistakes of 9/11. It means the playing field is tilted steeply in favor of those who need to be held accountable. With the financial consequences other than insurance proceeds removed, there is no incentive for those whose negligence contributed to the death toll to acknowledge their failings or implement reforms. They can afford to deny culpability and play a waiting game.

By suing, I’ve forfeited the “$1.8 million average award” for a death claim I could have collected under the fund. Nor do I have any illusions about winning money in my suit. What I do know is I owe it to my husband, whose death I believe could have been avoided, to see that all of those responsible are held accountable. If we don’t get answers to what went wrong, there will be a next time. And instead of 3,000 dead, it will be 10,000. What will Congress do then?

So I say to Congress, big business and everyone who conspired to divert attention from government and private-sector failures: My husband’s life was priceless, and I will not let his death be meaningless. My silence cannot be bought.

Beverly Eckert, whose husband died at the World Trade Center, is the founder of Voices of September 11th, a victims advocacy group.

Ellyce Kausner, a second-year student at Florida Coastal School of Law in Jacksonville, was traveling home to Buffalo, N.Y., to be her 4-year-old nephew's date at a Valentine's Day party at his school today.

Chris and Laura Kausner reminisce about their sister who was aboard Flight 3407."I have a son in kindergarten and they are doing a Valentine's Day lunch and you bring somebody special and Ellie was going with him," Ellyce Kausner's sister Laura Kausner told "Good Morning America's" Chris Cuomo in an exclusive interview today.

Ellyce Kausner never made it to the kindergartner's party. She was one of 50 people killed on Continental Express flight 3407 when it crashed moments before its scheduled landing at 10:25 p.m. Thursday.

.
Weirder yet is the co-pilot was Rebecca Shaw. Purpleaura has always loved that name, she often thought if she ever had a daughter she would be named Rebecca. Well she did have a daughter but was told in a dream to name her something else so Rebecca was out. Shaw was the surname name of her grandparents.

As far as the plane goes, this is a picture of a Colgan Air Saab-340B. Having already read the flight number was 3407, I had to do a double take when I read the model of the plane.
.

This is a Continental airliner as it sits on a runway in Newark. I’m not sure what it’s all decked out for but if you look just above the nose you can see the World Trade Centre towers in the background.
.
.
On my end, I don’t talk to my mom a lot, who just happens to live 15 miles from the crash site (as the crow flies). Often the conversations leave me extremely drained so I tend to avoid those kinds of situations. Christmas day was the last time we spoke, but today, Friday the 13th, being her birthday and all I will have to make a call. I’m certain the crash will be a main topic of conversation.

The scariest flight I was ever on was from Buffalo to Newark. Never have I been so close to crashing. The friend I was flying with hasn’t flown since that day and that was in 1985. The plane hit some major wind on the descent and one of the wings very nearly hit the ground. We landed with such an impact all the oxygen masks fell out of their compartments.

At least one Canadian was among the crash victims. Don McDonald of Fort Erie, Ont., a worker with Pharmetics, Inc., was on the flight, confirms his family.
.
Fort Erie would be the town my mom lives in.
.
Not sure where all this is leading but it seems to be going somewhere. My first thoughts are this is a harbinger of bigger things to come considering the WTC connections. Another time stamp perhaps.


Oval Office Eight





I’m not sure what the latest weirdness is supposed to mean. Maybe a time stamp, perhaps a couple of random dreams come true or more of those incessant dots.

It all started yesterday while chatting with a couple of co-workers. As we all admired a map of earthquake zones in Greece cascading from the new plotter, one of the workmates mentioned his wife had an opportunity to work in Algeria. I didn’t think I heard right so I asked, “Algeria”? No answer. I asked again a little louder, “Did you say Algeria”? Still no answer. One more time, a lot louder, “DID YOU SAY ALGERIA”? He finally answered yes.

This seemed strange for many reasons and I made a mental note to look up Algeria when I got back to my desk. I’ve known lots of people who’ve lived and worked in exotic and faraway places, but Algeria was a new one for me.
.
As usual by the time I made it back to my desk Algeria was all but forgotten. Until just now when BWB read me this local and current news story:
.
Feb 12, 2009 09:15 PM
THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY – Bystanders in downtown Calgary looked on in horror Thursday as a man doused himself with a flammable liquid, then set himself on fire.

An ambulance that was transporting another patient happened to drive by and attendants jumped out with extinguishers and put out the flames.

They called another ambulance to take the man to hospital.

"Our paramedics worked very aggressively to treat him on the way to hospital," said EMS spokesman Stuart Brideaux.

"About 40 per cent of his body had been burned with second-degree burns along his back."

He was listed in serious but stable condition.

Witnesses said the man appeared to be upset and said something about being deported before he set himself alight.

A source told CTV Calgary he was about to be deported to Algeria.

http://www.thestar.com/News/Canada/article/586881

So that was freaky enough, then he read this one:

Former president George W. Bush is coming to Calgary for his first confirmed speaking event since leaving office last month.

The private event, which is being called “A conversation with George W. Bush,” will be held March 17 at the Telus Convention Centre.

Bush will share his “thoughts on his eight momentous years in the Oval Office” and will discuss “the challenges facing the world in the 21st century,” according to the event invitation.


BWB’s never read one of our blogs. Often it’s not until an occasion such as this that I even mention what a blog was about. That’s why him reading me two news stories back-to-back, sounding remarkably similar to the last two blogs, is weirding me out a bit. I was half expecting to hear “...will be accompanied by Waylon Smithers”.

BWB gets his news from the CBC which allows for readers comments. Almost all have the same opinion...WTF???? Here’s the consensus so far:

  • I'd love to hear the guy. I might not agree with him but I still think that, like this forum, exposure to other points of view expands your horizons or at least clarifies your own points of view.
  • Well, how about that. Bush is on tour with his comedy act. (I wonder if Smithers will join him?)
  • Throw your shoes at him en masse.
  • How can Bush come to Canada, he is a convicted felon in his country? He should not be allowed across the border, or is this law for a select few?
  • What? Canada is inviting one of the BIGGEST TERRORIST the world has ever seen to cross its border?

I am dumbfounded. Never in a million years would I have ever thought George W. Bush would come to Calgary for a speaking engagement (or any other reason). We’re hardly small town but on the world stage we would certainly be considered just that. You don’t see stickers on suitcases saying Paris, London, New York, Calgary. And not only is he coming here, it’s the first stop on the Oval Office Eight Tour ’09. Freakin bizarre.

Just thinking out loud, but the scientist in the last blog died on Elvis’s birthday. The blog before that was inspired by a dream of Bush who showed me a coin imprinted with Elvis’s head and some 45’s. I tried to find a date when production on 45’s began and all that came up was February, 1949. Other things that happened in 1949:

All the King’s Men swept the Academy Awards with an Oscar for best picture, best actor (Broderick Crawford) and best supporting actress (Mercedes McCambridge). It won golden globes for best picture, best director (Robert Rossen) and best actor.
.
Plot:

The rise and fall of a corrupt politician, who makes his friends richer and retains power by dint of a populist appeal.

Synopsis:

All The King's Men is the story of the rise of politician Willie Stark from a rural county seat to the spotlight. Along the way, he loses his initial innocence, and becomes just as corrupt as those who he assaulted before for this characteristic. Also included is the romance between one of his "right hand women" and the up-and-coming journalist who brings Stark to prominence.


Another thing that happened is James Forrestal died in 1949. He was the first Secretary of Defense but that only lasted two years.

“The decline and death of Forrestal is an unresolved problem of history. There is no question that he suffered from a spectacular mental breakdown during 1948 and 1949. Exactly why he did so is less certain, but the answer may have relevance to American national security – and the pesky topic of UFOs.”


There’s an interesting account of the death of James Forrestal at the link above, which contains all the basic elements of the phenomenon known as “being suicided”. Government employee goes mad, finds himself locked up and administered questionable treatments, dies under mysterious circumstances deemed to be suicide.

60th anniversaries being celebrated this year are the founding of the People’s Republic of China, NATO and Australian Citizenship. They’ve even minted a coin for the occasion:


The 2009 $1 Citizenship coin design features the smiling faces of the very first Australian citizens in 1949, each as individual as the country they originate from. Their raised hands symbolises their pride in becoming an Australian citizen, now linked symbolically to create the star of Federation.

http://www.coinnews.net/2009/01/12/2009-coins-for-60th-anniversary-of-australian-citizenship-4680/

And finally George Orwell’s 1984 was published in 1949:

Winston Smith is a middle-aged, unhealthy character, based loosely on Orwell's own frail body, an underling of the ruling oligarchy, The Party. The Party has taken early 20th century totalitarianism to new depths, with each person subjected to 24 hour surveillance, where people's very thoughts are controlled to ensure purity of the oligarchical system in place. Figurehead of the system is the omnipresent and omnipotent Big Brother.

http://www.online-literature.com/orwell/1984/

So there’s just a few things that went on in 1949. Gee you’d almost think that year was psychic.

Scientism May Cause Death



Mind Control ~ Stephen Marley


I’ve been working on a blog for a couple of weeks now mostly focusing on scalar weaponry, Russians and Yellowstone. Just when I think I have most of the pieces, something else comes up making it difficult to keep track of the many components and how they relate. Writing it down in a comprehensible manner is harder still, so I’m going to take a break from that one and switch to a dream Purpleaura experienced recently. Although to add to my confusion it also appears to include even more dots longing to be connected. I’m going to try and forget those for now and stay fixed on the dream at hand.

February 5th, 2009
.
I seem to be watching a scene, there’s a couple in their late 30's to early 40s. The man is dark-haired (for some reason Asian features came to mind). I’m in a corridor watching the scene take place.
.
As they enter their home they’re suddenly attacked by men with knives who grab them from behind and kill them. I know they have a child and the men seem to be debating whether or not to kill the child too. (I can’t remember if the child was with them or had stayed somewhere else). The man who was killed happens to be a chief scientist (I don’t know what he’s the chief of, but I know he’s in charge of a big project).
.
The dream jumps and now I’m watching another scene the same day and the same thing happens again. This time a lone male is murdered by the same group that murdered the scientist.
.
It jumps again and I’m in an office building at a management meeting. The group is waiting for the second murdered man to see what he has to say. They are unaware that this man, who I believe to be the head or owner of this company, has been killed. I approach the man in charge of the meeting and state that both the head of the company and the chief scientist have been murdered today, and in fact this company is a front for something big involving the government. The man in charge of the meeting looks at me as if I am nuts. I tell him again that the owner has been murdered, so he says he’s going to get a hold of the chief scientist and ask him. I say to him again he’s dead, both him and his wife were murdered by the same group of men that killed the owner of this company, and this company is a front for something major about to happen (for some reason electronic warfare came to mind which could be all or part of it).

Then I woke up thinking WTF am I dreaming of this for, jeesh I got better things to do with myself than dream this.
.
The first order of business was searching for recently deceased scientists. There’s no shortage of dead scientists, the subject has become quite a topic of conversation in the conspiracy circles. Here’s just one article that Purpleaura discovered a couple of years ago:
.
Dead Scientists And Microbiologists - Master List
.
Compiled by Mark J. Harper 2-5-5
.
Marconi Scientists Mystery
.
In the 1980's over two dozen science graduates and experts working for Marconi or Plessey Defence Systems died in mysterious circumstances, most appearing to be suicides., The MOD denied these scientists had been involved in classified Star Wars Projects and that the deaths were in any way connected. Judge for yourself...
.
I won’t list all the deaths as it would be lengthy but the details can be read at the following link:
.
.
Note the date of the article was February 5th.
.
Under the recently deceased scientists category all I could find was this man:
.
India-born US nuclear physicist Shiva Subramanya dead
.
February 6th, 2009 - 5:10 pm ICT by IANS
.
Washington, Feb 6 (IANS) India-born US nuclear physicist Shiva Subramanya is dead. He was 76, a family member said Friday. Subramanya, who was a space scientist and a management consultant, was twice nominated to the US Air Force Scientific Advisory Board.
.
Born April 8, 1933 in Holenarasipura, Hassan District of Karnataka, he died Jan 8, 2009 in California, US.
.
He went to the US to pursue PhD in nuclear physics from Clark University and went on to study MBA from California State University and did Doctor of Business Administration from Nova University, Florida. He also held numerous special diplomas.
.
Subramanya was the chairman of the military-industry committee, which draws-up the policy, procedures and operations concepts for the US military including USAF Space Command until his retirement in 1998.
.
He was national president of Indian Professional Forum, US - an organisation of scientists and engineers of Indian origin. He was also the vice-president of Viswa Hindu Parishad (America).
.
He may not be the guy Purpleaura dreamt about, but there are a few oddities surrounding Subramanya’s demise. Firstly, this story was just published yesterday, February 6th, yet the man died January 8th. Why the delay in reporting? Secondly, I can’t find any mention of his death in any other news source other than those coming from India. He was a U.S. citizen and held a fairly important job being the chairman of Space Command and all, so why no mention in North American news? (Maybe it has been by now but last night it hadn’t and I’m not looking at anything else today until I get this finished). There is no cause of death but that’s not necessarily out of the ordinary. However, unless it was something like AIDS or suicide the cause of death of important people is usually noted.
.
And lastly, Subramanya’s date of birth, April 8th, is also Purpleaura’s wedding anniversary and has become a date of interest over the years for various reasons. One incident that comes to mind is the nuptials of Charles and Camilla. They were originally slated to be married April 8th but moved it forward a day due to the death of Pope John Paul II whose funeral took place April 8th. January 8th is of course the birthday of David Bowie and Elvis. This tells me more investigation is required.
.
The next thing I did was try and determine what exactly is the purpose of the Military-Industry Committee but almost everything that turned up had to do with Russia. One link that caught my eye was called The Seventh Meeting (sounds ominously like the seventh seal). That was a summit between the Belarusian-Chinese Committee on Trade and Economic Cooperation which took place in November of 2005.
.

Not knowing what Belarusian was I had to look that up. Turns out Belarus is an Eastern European country bordered by Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia. Belarusian is the language spoken there. They used to be part of Russia and the capital is Minsk. That I have heard of.
.
I scrolled through the page containing the details of the Seventh Meeting and its attendees and one name stood out, Zhidko Vitaliy, Vice-Chairman of the concern “Belneftekhim”. Well not so much the name but the concern Belneftekhim. I thought maybe they were the company Purpleaura dreamt about the head being killed, and perhaps they are, but trying to find information on their U.S. subsidiary turned out to be the proverbial needle in a haystack. They’re in Massachusetts and that’s all I know.
.
What I did find is Belnetekhim is also known as The Belarusian State Concern for Oil and Chemistry. Their headquarters are in Minsk and they have offices in Moscow, Kiev and Frankfurt. Something told me to look for a connection between them and our good friends at Bechtel. There's a directory in Alberta that is the bible of any oilfield or drilling company and as I discovered the US has a similar publication. Bechtel is listed directly above Belneftekhim. That was the only connection I found which I admit isn’t much but something is telling me there's more of a connection than simple alphabetical order.
.
The Belarusian State Concern for Oil and Chemistry (Concern Belneftekhim) comprises largest enterprises that substantially influence the economic potential of the Republic of Belarus and to some extent the world market. The petrochemical complex is an important sector of the economy of the Republic. The concern is composed of 84 enterprises with the total number of employees over 100,000.
.
The most important directions of the concern's activities is production of mineral fertilizers, chemical fibers and yarns, glass fabrics, paint and varnish materials, plastics that is almost the entire range of chemical and petrochemical products. Enterprises of the concern produce the full range of potassium, nitric and phosphoric fertilizers.
.

I see the word fertilizer and my brain automatically goes to the Ryder truck that obliterated the Federal Building in Oklahoma. Belneftekhim also transports oil and gas which made me think of the TV show about the gas tankers in Boston Harbour that could set off a blast rivalling a nuclear bomb. Seeing’s how they’re based in Massachusetts and all.
.
I also found this article concerning the concern Belneftekhim (I’m certain CERN’s involved in all of this somehow too):
.
Bush Administration Froze Belneftekhim Accounts
.
The U.S. administration has frozen accounts of Belarus state consortium Belneftekhim.
.
From now on, the U.S. residents are banned from clinching any deals and having business with Belneftekhim offices in Germany, Ukraine, Latvia, Russia and China as well as with its U.S. subsidiary, Belneftekhim USA, the U.S. Treasury Department announced.
.
.
No mention of why the accounts were frozen but this happened almost two years to the day after the Seventh Meeting.

Back to Belarus, the name comes from the term white rus or white Russian. Other than the tasty drink I had no idea what a white Russian really was.
.
White Russians, name given to members and supporters of the counterrevolutionary White armies, which fought against the Bolshevik Red Army in the Russian Civil War (1918-1921). Following the 1917 Russian Revolution that overthrew the monarchy, resistance was quickly organized against the Bolshevik forces commanded by Leon Trotsky. The White forces were initially led by former imperial officers, General Lavr Kornilov and General Anton Denikin, and was supported by socialist revolutionaries and right-wing social democrats. Fearful of the spread of Communism, Britain, the United States, Italy, and Germany intervened on the White side, supplying military and financial support.
.
Despite this combined force, the White forces were unable to gain victory over the Red Army. Kornilov was killed in April 1918, and following major defeats under Denikin the leadership of the White forces passed to General Pyotr Wrangel, in April 1920. Further defeats followed, and during 1920 the Red Army took the Caucasus, Ukraine, and the Baltic states. The Whites were finally defeated in 1921, due to their own lack of unity and because the Red Army had ruthlessly implemented the policy of “War Communism,” which included seizing food from the peasantry and other property important to the war effort without payment. After the defeat of the Whites, the Bolsheviks established the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).
.
While working on the Yellowstone blog I was referring back to the blog A Curious Affair as the Yellowstone saga appeared to be an extension of that. A Curious Affair focused on Purpleaura’s dream of the black man’s funeral in the white house. Purpleaura was dressed in a white shirt and there were a group of people she felt were Russian wearing white and red shoulder wraps. This group was staging some sort of rebellion against other more antagonistic (black) Russians. Now that I know what White Russians are, that explains that. Sort of. Was Purpleaura seeing another uprising of the white army? We can only hope. (White is meant strictly in the spiritual sense and has nothing at all to do with the colour of skin). Or was she seeing the beginnings of another U.S. Civil War between blacks and whites that we and many others have been sensing for some time? (This time I do mean the colour of skin). And will it be instigated by the murder of the white female leader as was the case in her dream?
.

Next on the agenda was trying to figure out what the company is and who is the person to be done in. That seemed like an overwhelming task.
.
Before looking into Purpleaura’s dream I had been doing some reading and three recent news stories caught my eye. One was about a stripper who had been doused with gasoline and lit on fire outside a nightclub somewhere in California. Another was about some incidents at various nuclear power plants in the last few days, one being in Milwaukee. And the last was a story about a city in Ohio accidentally dumping hydrochloric acid into the water supply instead of fluoride. The jury’s still out on which is more dangerous but I’m leaning towards fluoride.
.
I recalled having mentioned a Milwaukee nuclear power plant in a blog once so I made a mental note to look that up. I also dreamt of BWB being doused with gasoline and lit on fire so I made another note to check into that. Then there was the dream of the U-haul (inciting thoughts of the Ryder truck), which took place at the same location as the gasoline dream, but I wasn’t sure if it was the same dream or not. It was not but all these things: Milwaukee, nuclear, tankers in Boston, BWB being doused in gasoline and the Ryder truck were all part of the same blog. And here they are all blending together yet again. Six months later under entirely different circumstances.
.

What else emerged from that blog was Colgate Palmolive. That came about after Purpleaura sparked up her talking ghost box which told her the name Reuben Mark. At the time he was the head of Colgate Palmolive. Palmolive soap was created by the B.J. Johnson company of Milwaukee which later became the Palmolive company. I decided to look further into Colgate Palmolive.
.
Interestingly enough Reuben Mark is no longer with the company. He retired on December 31st, 2008 and January 1st 2009 Ian Cook took his place as president, director, CEO and chairman of the board.
.
.
Quite a varied and eclectic bunch this board encompasses.
  • Ian M. Cook has been with the company since 1976 and since March of 2008 sits on the board of directors of PepsiCo.
  • John T. Cahill is the former chairman and CEO of the Pepsi Bottling Group. He was also the CFO for RKO Pictures Inc., a member of George W. Bush for President and belongs to the US-Russia Business Council. Their goal is “Working to expand and enhance the U.S. – Russian Commercial Relationship”. Maybe Obama will lift the sanctions against Belneftekhim so they can return to peddling their delightful yarn which we can knit into cute little mittens, and their deadly chemicals.
  • Jill K. Conway is a visiting scholar at MIT and was president of Smith College from 1975 to 1985. She is or was a member of the board of Merrill Lynch and Nike as well as the Council on Foreign Relations. I won’t get into a detailed explanation of the CFR, I think this sums them up nicely:

The Council has been the subject of many conspiracy theories, as shown in the 2007 documentary Zeitgeist, the Movie. This is partly due to the number of high-ranking government officials in its membership, among world business leaders, its secrecy clauses, and the large number of aspects of American foreign policy that its members have been involved with, beginning with (Woodrow) Wilson's Fourteen Points. The John Birch Society believes that the CFR plans a one-world government.

  • Ellen M. Hancock has quite a resume. President and COO of Aquicor Technology, president and CEO of Exodus Communications, CTO and executive VP of research and development at Apple, executive VP and COO at National Semiconductor, senior VP at IBM and a member of the board at Aetna, Siemens and Watchguard Technologies. She belongs or belonged to Bush-Cheney ’04, George W. Bush for President, John McCain 2008 and the Pacific Council on International Policy. Here’s what and who they are:
Mission
.
Powerful forces are transforming the world and the place of the United States in it. The economic and demographic center of gravity is moving west in North America and towards the Pacific Rim globally. Islamic extremism is destabilizing international security. The Cold War’s nuclear non-proliferation regime is unraveling. International relations are affected as much by business action as by government policy. Globalization is moving from low-cost production to innovation in emerging markets, exacerbating social dislocations and political backlashes. Rising demand for energy and control of resources is threatening not only the global economy but also the environment and international security.
.
The mission of the Pacific Council on International Policy is to confront these global transformations through giving more effective voice to West Coast perspectives on them, by:
  • Building a network of globally-oriented business, civic and government leaders
    Convening exchanges with global policy makers and opinion leaders
  • Generating fresh ideas, timely research and innovative proposals on the key issues shaping the global agenda
  • Partnering with organizations around the world to promote mutual understanding and coordinated action
  • Informing policy elites and the public about global challenges and opportunities

Governance

The Pacific Council on International Policy is a non-partisan organization headquartered in Los Angeles with members and activities throughout the West Coast of the United States and internationally. The Council is governed by a Board of Directors co-chaired by John E. Bryson, Chairman and CEO of Edison International, and Warren Christopher, former U.S. Secretary of State. Jerrold D. Green is the President and CEO of the Pacific Council. Founded in 1995 in partnership with the Council on Foreign Relations, the Pacific Council is a 501c(3) not-profit organization whose work is made possible by financial contributions and in-kind support from individuals, corporations, foundations and other organizations.

  • David W. Johnson was chairman emeritus of the Campbell’s Soup Company which I found weird since I just had a dream about Campbell’s soup last week. He was also chairman and CEO of Gerber and a VP at General Foods.
  • Richard J. Kogan has been president, CEO, COO and executive VP at Schering-Plough as well as holding key positions at Ciba-Geigy, both pharmaceutical companies. He sits on the board at the Bank of New York Mellon and the Bank of New York. He is or was a member of Bush-Cheney '04, Business Roundtable, George W. Bush for President, John McCain 2008 and the Council on Foreign Relations.
  • Delano E. Lewis was the U.S. Ambassador to South Africa, held various top positions at Bell Atlantic, Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone (they service Washington DC among other places) and National Public Radio. He is or was a board member of Apple, Black Entertainment Television, Chase Manhattan Bank, Geico, Halliburton and Kodak.
  • J. Pedro Reinhard has been with DOW Chemical for quite some time as executive VP, CFO, VP Finance and treasurer. He was or is a member of the board of Coca Cola and the Royal Bank of Canada.
There’s very little information about Stephen I. Sadove other than he was chairman and CEO of Saks, held key positions at Bristol-Myers Squibb and is a board member of the restaurant chain Ruby Tuesday.

This is a really cool website. Type in the name of any person and it gives you a full rundown of their career and associations:

Yep looks like Colgate Palmolive have all the bases covered. Pharmaceuticals, computers, radio, television and movies, communications, food supplies, money, presidents and killer chemicals. Now let’s revisit Purpleaura’s dream from June 27th, 2008, as posted in the same blog as all the previously mentioned stuff:
.
In the first dream I see something big is going down. I was watching two young males discussing something to do with the government or military who thought they had destroyed the men but in fact it was a distraction. They seem to be running parallel plans together, one a distraction and one the real plan. One of the men turned around and said, "They had attacked distraction as planned”. One of the men’s faces was really red, it looked like he had been in a fire or his face was painted. He had pus and boils peeling off him but he was quite happy that whoever/whatever had taken the bait. Then I heard “it’s nearly ready” as they had built something about to be released. The internet and teenagers and people in their early 20’s also seemed to be involved somehow.
.
Now to just figure out what the plan is. Poisoning the masses is certainly an option and simple to initiate when you’ve got a guy who’s a specialist in every deadly chemical on the planet making toothpaste. Mind control through the media and education system is another uncomplicated alternative with such experts at hand. I couldn’t figure out the Saks connection until I learned they sold cosmetics. Maybe batshit isn’t the worst thing people are smearing all over their faces in the name of beauty. There are also rumours of cotton being the root of Morgellons so there’s that to think about. Or maybe all of the above and some. Since we’re not sure at the moment I will leave it at that for now. Maybe if I can ever get that other blog completed we’ll have some more tangible answers.
.
A couple of final peculiarities. I thought an old Colgate or Palmolive ad would make a good picture for this blog, and much to my surprise I found a few featuring the Dionne quintuplets (for both Colgate toothpaste and Palmolive soap). I had quite a fascination with the fivesome as a youngster, read the Pierre Burton book and loved and hated the stories my mother told of visiting the Dionne “zoo” when she was a youngster. Fascinated she saw them live and in person but dismayed at their plight. Funny thing, while I haven’t thought of them in years I was just yesterday telling the story to a person who had never heard of them. How the government ripped them from their home and family to fulfill the monetary needs of those in greed. How they lived tragic and miserable lives and were nothing more than an advertising tool for everything from toothpaste to typewriters. A government-appointed doctor became their guardian so whatever the quints were doing, every parent in the nation was mimicking. If it was good enough for the quints it was good enough for them. RKO even used them so it seems not much has changed.
.

What still bothers me is what went on behind the scenes that caused at least one of them to commit suicide. Or was it suicide? Were they the original guinea pigs? Why was I so enamoured of them and what they represented at such a young age?

Another really odd thing is Purpleaura just emailed this:

Belarus, the former Soviet state ruled by strongman Alexander Lukashenko, doesn't usually top lists of favourite places to do business. Flat, marshy, and landlocked, the nation of 10.3 million between Poland and Russia has had trouble attracting foreign investment, the CIA World Factbook says, in part because of the government's habit of arresting business people it deems "disruptive."
.
Yet for Lawrenceville (N.J.)-based EPAM Systems, Belarus has been the key to growth of 30% or more a year. The company, founded by Belarus native Arkadiy Dobkin, has tapped a ready supply of well-trained software engineers in that country, as well as Russia, Ukraine, and other places in the region, to become one of the top providers of outsourced software services operating from Central and Eastern Europe.
.
EPAM's 2,400 employees in cities such as the Belarussian capital of Minsk or the Russian city of St. Petersburg supply tailor-made software for corporate customers including Colgate-Palmolive.
.
Dobkin, who worked for Colgate-Palmolive and SAP in the U.S. before founding EPAM in 1993, acknowledges that there is some risk doing business in Belarus or Russia, where the company also has operations.
.
.
And the final odd thing (in this chapter anyway, it feels like there may be more) is I just looked up Colgate’s head office and was quite surprised to discover it’s in Mumbai India. That opens up a whole other can of worms but also takes us full circle to what began this madcap web in the first place, the mysterious Shiva Subramanya.
