| Bechtel, Stephen D., Sr. |
Mandalay |
His father died under strange circumstances in
Moscow. The Bechtel Company is a privately owned (giant)
construction firm operating worldwide and headquartered
in San Francisco and is a mainstay of the nuclear
industry. Bechtel designed the military space shuttle
facility at Vandenburg Air Force Base. It is known for
decades for its many boondoggles all over the world.
Bechtel had been rescued in its time of need by J. Henry
Schroder and Avery Rockefeller. On June 3, 1954, the New
York Times announced that Stephen Bechtel, chmn of
Bechtel Corp. had become partner of J.P. Morgan Co. In
1955, Fortune reported that as Under Secretary of State,
C. Douglas Dillon had arranged important contracts for
Bechtel with the Saudi Arabian government, culminating
in the present $135 billion Jubail operation. In
January, 1975, Fortune pointed out that Bechtel had
never been in the red for a single year, because "Its
engineering projects are invariably financed by its
clients." These clients are usually governments, a
lesson which may have been learned from the Rothschilds.
Bechtel funds the Heritage Foundation, which made large
contributions to the neocon agenda since the 1980's.
Heritage is headed by Le Cercle member Edwin J. Feulner,
who is another member of the Bohemian Grove. Bechtel is

| Bierce, Ambrose G. |
|
American satirist, and critic, short story writer,
editor and journalist. Born in Ohio in 1842. Military
career from 1860 to 1866 and moved to San Francisco. He
remained there for many years, eventually becoming
famous as a contributor and/or editor for a number of
local newspapers and periodicals, including The San
Francisco News Letter, The Argonaut, and The Wasp.
Bierce lived and wrote in England from 1872 to 1875.
Returning to the United States, he again took up
residence in San Francisco. In 1887, he became one of
the first regular columnists and editorialists to be
employed on William Randolph Hearst's newspaper, the San
Francisco Examiner, eventually becoming one of the most
prominent and influential among the writers and
journalists of the West Coast. In December 1899, he
moved to Washington, DC, but continued his association
with the Hearst newspapers until 1906. Because of his
penchant for biting social criticism and satire,
Bierce's long newspaper career was often steeped in
controversy. On several occasions his columns stirred up
a storm of hostile reaction which created difficulties
for Hearst. One of the most notable of these incidents
occurred following the assassination of President
William McKinley when Hearst's political opponents
turned a satirical poem Bierce had written in 1900 into
a cause célèbre. Bierce meant his poem, written on the
occasion of the assassination of Governor-elect William
Goebel of Kentucky, to express a national mood of dismay
and fear, but after McKinley was shot in 1901 it seemed
to foreshadow the crime:
The bullet that pierced Goebel's breast
Can
not be found in all the West;
Good reason, it is
speeding here
To stretch McKinley on his
bier.
Hearst was accused by rival newspapers — and by then
Secretary of State Elihu Root (Pilgrims Society;
co-founder Carnegie Endowment and its first president;
main founder CFR) — of having called for McKinley's
assassination. Despite a national uproar that ended his
ambitions for the presidency (and even his membership in
the Bohemian Club), Hearst neither revealed Bierce as
the author of the poem, nor fired him.
His short stories are considered among the best of
the 19th century. In October 1913, the septuagenarian
Bierce departed Washington on a tour to revisit his old
Civil War battlefields. By December, he had proceeded on
through Louisiana and Texas, crossing by way of El Paso
into Mexico, which was then in the throes of revolution.
In Ciudad Juárez, he joined the army of Pancho Villa as
an observer, in which role he participated in the battle
of Tierra Blanca. He is known to have accompanied
Villa's army as far as the city of Chihuahua, Chihuahua.
After a last letter to a close friend, sent from that
city on December 26, 1913, he vanished without a trace,
becoming one of the most famous disappearances in
American literary history. Subsequent investigations to
ascertain his fate were fruitless and, despite many
decades of speculation, his disappearance remains a
mystery. |

the King (1922), principal naval aide to the King
(1931-1932), and a visitor of the Bohemian Grove in the
early part of the 20th century (at least in 1929). He
was a member of a very powerful family (undoubtedly some
Pilgrims Society members), which was close to the
British royal family. One of his brothers, the third
Viscount Hampden, was a lord-in-waiting to the King
(1924-1936). Another brother, Robert H. Brand (since
1946 Baron Brand), was regarded as the economist of the
Round Table Group or Milner's Kindergarten and became a
partner and managing director of Lazard Brothers, a
director of Lloyd's Bank, a director of The Times, a
member of the Imperial Munitions Board of Canada
(1915-1918), deputy chairman of the British Mission in
Washington (1917-1918), financial adviser to Lord Robert

South Africa at the Genoa Conference (1922), head of the
British Food Mission to Washington (1941-1944), chairman
of the British Supply Council in North America
(1942-1945, 1946), and His Majesty's Treasury
Representative in Washington (1944-1946). In this last

was an intimate friend to Pilgrims Society and Round
Table member Philip Kerr. Their father was a Governor of
New South Wales and one of the original instigators of
the federation of the Australian Colonies in 1900. A

Few figures have played a more important role in the
political and governmental history of modern California
than that of Edmund G. "Pat" Brown. Elected district
attorney of San Francisco in 1943, Brown began a
productive and distinguished career in local law
enforcement. He instituted a systematic reform program,
cracked down on commercial vice, and reshaped much of
the city's legal system. Brown's reputation soared along
with his reforms. He won election to the office of state
attorney general in 1950, adopted a tough approach to
his responsibilities, and worked to root out official
corruption and organized crime. By 1958 he had become
the most popular figure in the California Democratic
organization. Elected the same year to the governor's
office on a platform strongly committed to humane and
responsive government, Brown set in a motion a chain of
political and social reforms. |

Butler earned an A.B (1882), M.A. (1883) and Ph.D.
(1884), all in philosophy, at Columbia, specializing in
the writings of the German philosopher Immanuel Kant. He
studied for a year at the universities of Berlin and
Paris. Became a staff member of the Department of
Philosophy at Columbia College, later known as Columbia
University. In 1882, Nicholas Murray Butler was
appointed by Columbia president Henry Barnard to offer
Saturday lectures for teachers. The turnout was
enormous. Member New Jersey Board of Education from 1887
to 1895. Delegate to the Republican Convention
1888-1936. In 1891 Butler founded the Educational
Review, a journal of educational philosophies and
developments. He served as its editor until 1921.
Organized the New York College for the Training of
Teachers in 1892, affiliated with Columbia. Chairman the
Paterson school 1892-1893. In these roles he led efforts
to remove state political interference from local New
Jersey school systems. In New York City, he did the
same, spurring the creation of a citywide school board
that emphasized professionalism and policy over
political spoils (1895–1897). When New York City's
consolidation was complete, New York State sought a
similar reform with Butler's advice, completed in 1904.
Participated in the formation of the College Entrance
Examination Board in 1900. Had become a close friend of
Pilgrims Society member Elihu Root by this time.
President of Columbia University 1901-1945. Professor
Carroll Quigley wrote in 'Tragedy and Hope': "J.P.
Morgan and his associates were the most significant
figures in policy making at Harvard, Columbia and Yale
while the Whitneys and Prudential Insurance Company
dominated Princeton. The chief officials of these
universities were beholden to these financial powers and
usually owed their jobs to them... Morgan himself helped
make Nicholas Murray Butler president of Columbia."
Robert A. McCaughey wrote in 'Stand Columbia: A History
of Columbia University in the City of New York,
1754–2004': "A compulsive name-dropper given to
self-puffery, Butler was nevertheless an effective
administrator [of Columbia], and J.P. Morgan, Andrew
Carnegie, and E. H. Harriman sought to hire him to run
their enterprises." Butler held the presidency in
some of their railroad companies. President of the
Germanistic Society of Columbia University in 1905-1906
and a director from 1908-1917. It organized and
sponsored lecture series for German scholars in the
United States. Travelled to Europe on occasion where he
met with Kaiser Wilhelm and Mussolini in his early
fascist days. Quote from the 1973 book 'The Glory and
the Dream, a Narrative History of America, 1932-1972',
by William Manchester, pages 67-68: "Nicholas Murray
Butler told his students that totalitarian regimes
brought forth "men of far greater intelligence, far
stronger character, and far more courage than the system
of elections," and if anyone represented the American
establishment then it was Dr. Butler, with his 34
honorary degrees, and his thirty year tenure as
president of Columbia University." (quoted by
Charles Savoie) Supposedly Butler agreed with some of
the Nazi racial theories about the superiority of the
Teuton race. Another quote attributed to him is:
"The history of American education and of our
American contributions to philosophical thought cannot
be understood or estimated with[out] knowing of the life
work of Dr. William Torrey Harris." Harris, a
supporter of Emmanuel Kant and Georg Hegel, shaped
modern American education to a large degree. He also was
highly influential in popularizing Hegel's philosophies
in the second half of the 19th century. Established a
friendship with Governor Theodore Roosevelt in the early
20th century. President University Settlement Society
1905-1914. Became a trustee of the Carnegie Foundation
for the Advancement of Teaching in 1905. President
American Academy in Rome 1905-1940s. President of the
American branch of International Conciliation, an
organization founded in 1905 by a Nobel peace laureate,
Baron d'Estournelles de Constant (from an "old
aristocratic family which traced its genealogy back to
the Crusades", whatever that means). Chairman of the
Lake Mohonk Conferences on International Arbitration,
which met periodically from 1907 to 1912. President
American Scandinavian Society 1908-1911. Influential in
persuading Andrew Carnegie (a Pilgrims member, Hegelian,
and Social Darwinist) to establish the Endowment in 1910
with a gift of $10,000,000 he served as head of the
Endowment's section on international education and
communication, founded the European branch of the
Endowment, with headquarters in Paris, and held the
presidency of the parent Endowment from 1925 to 1945. In
1912, Roosevelt ran for the presidency as the candidate
of the Progressive Party, which drew most of its
strength from Republicans, against the nominees of the
constituted party: Taft for the presidency and Butler
for the vice-presidency. By splitting the national vote,
they permitted the Democrat, Woodrow Wilson, to win the
election. President France-America Society 1914-1924.
Nicholas Murray Butler, in an address delivered before
the Union League of Philadelphia, Nov. 27, 1915:
"The peace conference has assembled. It will make
the most momentous decisions in history, and upon these
decisions will rest the stability of the new world order
and the future peace of the world." Both Nicholas
Murray Butler and Elihu Root were staunch supporters of
the League of Nations that would emerge after WWI. In
1916 Butler failed in his attempt to secure the
Republican presidential nomination for Root. President
American Hellenic Society 1917-1940s. William Bostock
paper (University of Tasmania), 'To the limits of
acceptability: political control of higher education'
(2002): "On October 8, 1917, the famous historian
Charles A. Beard resigned from Columbia University in
protest over the dismissal of two colleagues, Professors
Cattell and Dana, for having publicly opposed the entry
of the United States into World War I. Cattell and Dana
urged opposition to the draft, incurring the censure of
Columbia President Nicholas Murray Butler and the
Columbia Board of Trustees. There had also been a
history of conflict over academic leadership and
governance between Butler and Cattell, a distinguished
psychologist." Michael Parenti, 'Against Empire'
(1995), chapter 10: "A leading historian, Charles
Beard, was grilled by the Columbia University trustees,
who were concerned that his views might "inculcate
disrespect for American institutions." In disgust Beard
resigned from Columbia, declaring that the trustees and
Nicholas Murray Butler sought "to drive out or humiliate
or terrorize every man who held progressive, liberal, or
unconventional views on political matters." Elihu
Root, Nicholas Murray Butler, and Stephen P. Duggan Sr.
(CFR director) founded the Institute for International
Education in 1919. Failed to secure the Republican
presidential nomination in 1920. During the 1920s Butler
was a member of the General Committee of the American
Society for the Control of Cancer, chaired by Thomas W.
Lamont, a Rockefeller banker and Pilgrims Society
member. John D. Rockefeller, Sr. once wrote a public
letter to Butler explaining why he supported the
prohibition movement. According to Richard
Koudenhove-Kalergi in his 1958 book 'Eine Idee erobert
Europa. Meine Lebenserinnerungen' (translated): "One
of my most energetic American friends and patrons was
the president of the Columbia University, Nicholas
Murray Butler, the president of the Carnegie Endowment
at the same time. He wrote the foreword to the American
edition of Paneuropa." Kalergi's Paneuropa movement
was set up and funded by Max Warburg and Louis
Rothschild in 1923. Paul and Felix Warburg were
promoting the movement in the United States and
Rothschild-ally Leopold S. Amery was a major supporter
from the United Kingdom. Stephen P. Duggan, the CFR
director and co-founder of the Institute for
International Education, became the president of the
American Cooperative Committee of the Pan-European Union
(he held this position from 1925 to 1940). In 1927
Butler assisted the U.S. State Department in developing
the Kellogg-Briand Pact. Failed to secure the Republican
presidential nomination in 1928. President of the

Grove and an honorary member by 1929. Butler gave the
core members of the Frankfurt School’s Institute for
Social Research a home in exile at Columbia University
in 1934. These people were supporters of Georg Hegel,
Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, and Max
Weber. Among these people was Herbert Marcuse, a Jewish
Marxist Hegelian, who became the 'father of the New
Left' in the 1960s. President Italy-America Society
1929-1935. Director of the New York Life Insurance
Corporation 1929-1939. Nobel Peace Prize 1931. Received
a gold medal from the National Institute of Social
Sciences at the Hotel Waldorf-Astoria in 1932, together
with J.P. Morgan. On November 19, 1937, Butler attended
a meeting where Pilgrims Society member Robert Cecil,
1st Viscount Cecil of Chelwood, received a Nobel Prize
for his work in establishing the League of Nations. Both
Butler and Lord Cecil held speeches about the role the
League of Nations should have. Although it is only a
rumor, Butler is supposed to have said at this meeting
(in private) that communism was a tool of the British
financial powers to knock down national governments and
to bring about a world government in the future.
Chairman Carnegie Corporation of New York 1937-1945.
Vice-president International Benjamin Franklin Society
in 1939. Governor Pan American Trade Committee in 1939.

saying "The world is divided in to three classes of
people: a very small group that makes things happen, a
somewhat larger group that watches things happen, and
the great multitude which never knows what happened."

visited Russia and spent time with Alexander Kolchak and
the White Army. Donovan ran unsuccessfully as lieutenant
governor in 1922 but was appointed by President Calvin
Coolidge as his assistant attorney general. In 1932 he
was the Republican candidate for the post of governor of
New York. By the time Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected
president in 1932 Donovan was a millionaire Wall Street
lawyer. He was a strong opponent of Roosevelt's New Deal
but shared the president's concern about political
developments in Nazi Germany and in 1940 Donovan agreed
to take part in several secret fact-finding missions in
Europe. In July 1941, Roosevelt appointed Donovan as his
Coordinator of Information. The following year Donovan
became head of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS),
an organization that was given the responsible for
espionage and for helping the resistance movement in
Europe. He was helped in this by William Stephenson and

Once hosted by Nixon. Member of the secretive

the University of Edinburgh, the London School of
Economics, the Wharton School of the University of
Pennsylvania, Georgetown University, and Regis
University. Feulner is the President of enormously
influential right-wing Heritage Foundation, Washington’s
leading public policy organization or think tank. Unlike
most other think tanks, Heritage not only suggests ideas
but actively pushes them in Congress. If you have any
doubt that the Heritage Foundation is engaged in
systematic lobbying, consider the words of Heritage vice
presidents Stuart Butler and Kim Holmes, published in
the 1995 Annual Report issued in spring
1996:
Butler: Heritage now works
very closely with the congressional leadership....
Heritage has been involved in crafting almost every
piece of major legislation to move through
Congress.
Holmes: Without
exaggeration, I think we've in effect become Congress's
unofficial research arm.... We truly have become an
extension of the congressional staff, but on our own
terms and according to our own
agenda.
Butler: That's
right. As Kim knows, things have been happening so fast
on Capitol Hill we've had to sharpen our management
skills to take full advantage of the opportunities.
There has also been an unprecedented demand on us to
"crunch the numbers" for the new congressional
leadership.
On January 18, 1989 President
Reagan conferred the Presidential Citizens Medal on
Feulner as "a leader of the conservative movement."
Feulner also serves as Treasurer and Trustee of The Mont
Pelerin Society; Trustee and former Chairman of the
Board of The Intercollegiate Studies Institute; member
of the Board of the National Chamber Foundation; member
of the Board of Visitors of George Mason University; a
Trustee of the Acton Institute, and the International
Republican Institute. He is past president of various
organizations including The Philadelphia Society and the
Mont Pelerin Society, and past Director of Sequoia Bank,
Regis University and the Council for National Policy.
Feulner served on the Congressional Commission on
International Financial Institutions ("Meltzer
Commission," 1999-2000). He was the Vice Chairman of the
National Commission on Economic Growth and Tax Reform
("Kemp Commission," 1995-1996), Counselor to Vice
Presidential candidate Jack Kemp (1996), Chairman of the
U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy (1982-91),
a Consultant for Domestic Policy to President Reagan,
and an advisor to several government departments and
agencies. He was a member of the President’s Commission
on White House Fellows (1981-83), of the Secretary of

summer of 1982, he served as a United States
Representative to the United Nations Second Special
Session on Disarmament (with the rank of Ambassador)
where he delivered the final United States address to
the General Assembly. During the transition from the
Carter Administration to the Reagan Administration,
Feulner served on the Executive Committee of the
Presidential Transition. He remains involved in various
aspects of foreign policy, particularly public
diplomacy, international communications issues and
international economic policy. He has served on the
United States delegations to several meetings of the
IMF/World Bank group. Feulner was the former chairman of
the Institute for European Defense and Strategic

| Field, Charles K. |
|
Charles Kellogg Field (1873-1948), was a graduate of
the Stanford class of 1895, and wrote Four-leaved
Clover: being Stanford Rhymes, in 1896, under the
pen name Carolus Ager. He also penned Stanford Stories,
in 1900, with author Will Irwin. He wrote several
Bohemian Grove plays performed during midsummer jinks
between 1902 and 1918. Became editor of Sunset Magazine
in 1911, after Charles Sedgwick Aiken had headed it
since 1902. Sunset was founded in May 1898 by Southern
Pacific Railroad. Chairman of this company was Edward
Harriman. One of the largest stockholders in the company
was Harknesses, also large shareholders of Standard Oil
and intermarried with the Stillman family, which, in its
turn, was also intermarried with the Rockefellers. The
magazine dealt with the outdoors, artistic writings, and
things about everyday life. It also wrote about the
Asian-American relations along the Pacific Coast, a
sensitive issue for the magazine because of its
geographic proximity to large Asian communities in San
Francisco. In 1914, Southern Pacific Railroad sold the
Magazine to Woodhead,
[charles] Field and Company, largely because many
contributors to the magazine were against many of the
policies of the extremely wealthy industrialists. After
Southern Pacific bounced it, the magazine focused even
more on the works of Bohemians like Ina Coolbrith, Jack
London, Bret Harte, and John Muir (founder of the Sierra
Club). Until his death in 1910, the magazine also
published the works of Pilgrims Society member and
Bohemian Club member Mark Twain. Charles Field was very
much a member of Bohemian Club and literary circles
during the early part of the century. He entered
broadcasting in his 60s, and was “Cheerio” on KGO-AM in
the mid 1930s. In 1936, he bought the Johnson-Field
house and turned the barn into a theater. Supposedly, he
hanged himself from the banister in 1948. According to a
webpage written by the Newfane Elementary School:
"Mr. Charles K. Field bought the house in 1936. He
was famous and had a national radio show. He turned the
barn into a theater. A ballet troupe even trained there.
On September 3, 1948, Mr. Field hanged himself from the
banister." Field was one of the friends of Herbert
Hoover from their Stanford days. |

suggestion, Mr. Finch returned to California to study
law at the University of Southern California where he
took his LL.B. degree in 1951. After being admitted to
the California bar, he practiced law until 1958 when he

Ford was a member of the House of Representatives
for 24 years from 1949 to 1973, and became Minority
Leader of the Republican Party in the House. Ford was
very popular with the voters in his district and was
always re-elected with 60% margins. During his tenure,
Ford was chosen to serve on the Warren Commission, a
special task force set up to investigate the causes of,
and quell rumors regarding the assassination of
President John F. Kennedy. After Vice President Spiro
Agnew resigned during Richard Nixon's presidency, on
October 10, 1973, Nixon nominated Ford to take Agnew's
place, under the 25th Amendment - the first time it was
applied. The United States Senate voted 92 to 3 to
confirm Ford on November 27, 1973. Ford had long been
one of President Nixon's most outspoken supporters
(someone joked once that "He is one of the few people
who not only admires Nixon, but actually likes him!").
Ford traveled widely as Vice President and made many
speeches defending the embattled President. He cited the
many achievements of President Nixon and dismissed
Watergate as a media event and a tragic sideshow. When
Nixon then resigned in the wake of the Watergate scandal
on August 9, 1974, Ford assumed the presidency,
proclaiming that "our long national nightmare is over".
On August 20 Ford nominated former New York Governor
Nelson Rockefeller to fill the Vice Presidency he had
vacated, again under the 25th Amendment. United States
president 1974-1977. |

Korea on the staff of General Douglas MacArthur. In
1950, he married the daughter of MacArthur's deputy
chief of staff, to whom Haig was aide-de-camp. Served in
Korea 1950-1951 where he freed Sun Myung Moon (the
person who thinks he's the new Messiah) from a
concentration camp during the battle of Inchon in
September 1950. Studied business administration at
Columbia University 1954-1955. Operations officer of a
tank battalion in Europe 1956-1958. Student at Naval War
College 1959-1960. M.A. in International Relations from
Georgetown University 1962. In 1962 he was selected over
many other applicants to become a staff aide to a
Kennedy Administration task force on Cuba directed by
Cyrus Vance and Joseph A. Califano, Jr. Here he became
involved with the CIA trying to overthrow Fidel Castro.
He was the Pentagon's representative to a highly
classified unit known as the "Subcommittee on
Subversion", who's target was Cuba. Stayed at the
Pentagon until 1965. Battalion and brigade commander in
Vietnam 1966-1967. Deputy Commander of Cadets at West
Point 1967-1968. Military aide on the National Security
Council staff 1968-1969. Senior Military Advisor to the
Assistant of the President for National Security
Affairs, Henry Kissinger, 1969-1973. Worked all the
time-every day, every night, and every weekend-to insure
that the flow of documents in and out of Kissinger's
office was uninterrupted. Haig was one of the persons
that kept pushing the bombing of Cambodia and was
working every moderate staff member out of office.
Coordinated Nixon's historic visit to China in February
1972. Haig long was rumored to have been Deep Throat,
the inside source for the Washington Post as the paper
exposed the Nixon cover-up of the Watergate break-in of
June 1972. Haig helped South Vietnamese President Nguyen
Van Thieu to negotiate the final cease-fire talks in
October 1972. Promoted to full 4 star general in 1972.
Vice Chief of Staff of the Army January to May 1973.

point he retired after twenty-six years in the Army.

United Technologies Corporation 1979-1981 for which he
still serves as a senior adviser (has negotiated

scandal unfolded in 1981-1982, Haig and Kissinger were
named among those who stood in contact with this
neo-fascist lodge that fought the communist influence on
the Italian government. U.S. Secretary of State
1981-1982. Reagan didn't like him, because Haig pushed
his own policies too hard. During the confusion after
Ronald Reagan was shot by John Hinckley, Haig asserts at
the White House, "I'm in control here", forgetting about
the Constitutional line of succession. One of the more
famous Haigisms from those days is "That's not a lie. It
is a terminological inexactitude". Visited the
Trilateral Commission since at least 1982 (and until at
least 1990) as a fellow of the Hudson Institute. In 1984
he was the founder of the global consulting firm
Worldwide Associates, Inc. and has headed it ever since
(seems to be a similar concept as Kissinger Associates).
It has a strong focus on the former Soviet Union and
China and today it is run by the United Technologies
Corporation, to which Haig still is a senior advisor
today. A 1991 Congressional report in the aftermath of
the BNL affair said about Haig's role in United
Technologies: "neither Paul nor Haig would comment
on what Haig was doing for the company." A basic
description (the only thing available) about Worldwide
Associates reads: "... the company assists
corporations in developing and implementing acquisition
and marketing strategies. It also provides advice on the
domestic and international political, economic and
security environments and their effects on the global
marketplace." Today's managing director of
Worldwide Associates is retired Army Colonel Sherwood D.
Goldberg, a civilian aide to the Secretary of the Army.
He is about the only person besides Haig Sr. and Jr.
that has been identified as an employee of Worldwide
Associates. Wrote the book 'Caveat: Realism, Reagan and
Foreign Policy' in 1984. Ran unsuccessfully for the

campuses has been a primary reason for the demise of
communism. |

Pulitzer Price winning journalist Peter Arnett produced
a CNN report on Operation Tailwind (a Vietnam operation
in which US Special Forces allegedly killed US defectors
with Sarin) in 1998, Kissinger and his friends called up
CNN to demand that the news network should distance
itself from the story (a story which CNN initially
approved) and made sure that the producers of the show
were publicly humiliated and fired. Arnett was fired
again by NBC and National Geographic in March 2003
immediately after he said the Bush Administration was
looking for a plan B now that Iraqi resistance turned
out to be much more intense than expected. Within 24
hours the Daily Mail hired him. When Henry Kissinger is
invited to speak at the United Nations Association on
April 11, 2001 Lord Jacob Rothschild is flanking his
side. Picked as the initial head of the 9/11

to be too controversial to remain in that position.

Foundation since 2001, together with Lord Jacob
Rothschild. The Foundation was set up by Mikhail
Khodorkovsky, a controversial oligarch, later locked up
by Putin. Honorary trustee of the Aspen Institute.

to take legal advice before traveling to certain
countries in either continent. |

official version of the USS Liberty incident. In 1984 he
said: "I’ve never seen a president—I don’t care who
he is—stand up to them [the Israelis]. It just boggles
your mind. They always get what they want. The Israelis
know what is going on all the time. I got to the point
where I wasn’t writing anything down. If the American
people understood what a grip those people have on our
government, they would rise up in arms. Our citizens
don’t have any idea what goes on." Moorer was a

| Mountbatten, Prince Philip |
|
Loyal McLaren (1972) writes about how Prince
Philip sought to visit the Grove: Before leaving London
for a visit to California in November, 1962, Prince
Philip wrote to Jack Merrill, an old friend and
expressed a desire to visit the Bohemian Grove... Since
the weather was unpredictable at this time of the year;
we decided it would be safer to hold the party inside
the grill and bar building... we restricted the
invitation to former presidents of the club, committee
chairmen, and groups of our highly talented
entertainers... At luncheon... Charlie Kendrick
delivered the speech of welcome. However, the show was
stolen by Prince Philip, who made a most amusing but
salty speech in keeping with the traditions of Bohemia.
(p. 451) - 'Taken from A Relative Advantage:
Sociology of the San Francisco Bohemian Club', by Peter
Martin Phillips.
Born in 1921 on the Isle of Corfu, Greece. Parents
were evacuated from Greece after a revolution and both
became depressed (father) or mentally instable (mother).
Studied in Germany under Kurt Hahn and both came to
Scotland in 1933. Played polo in his youth, often
against Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. Philip is the Duke of
Edinburgh, a Knight of the Order of the Garter, a Knight
of the Order of the Thistle, Grand Master and First or
Principal Knight of the Order of the British Empire, and
was a prince of Greece and Denmark until he married.
Patron or President of 814 organizations. His wife,
Queen Elizabeth II is patron of the Pilgrims Society.
Long career in the navy from the start of WWII as a
midshipsman to commanding his own frigate, the HMS
Magpie. William R. Denslow's 10,000 Famous Freemasons:
"Philip was initiated in Navy Lodge No. 2612 of
London on Dec 5, 1952. Present at the initiation were
the Earl of Scarbrough, grand master, q.v., and Geoffrey
Fisher, archbishop of Canterbury." Philip is a
Master Mason, never having shown great interest in the
organization, while his cousin, Prince Edward (b. 1935)
is the grand master of the United Grand Lodge. He and
his wife set off for a tour of the Commonwealth, with
visits to Africa, Australia, and New Zealand in 1952.
They went on to visit the remote parts of the
Commonwealth in 1956. Gordon Creighton, a Foreign
Service official and Intelligence officer, concluded his
story about a reported 1960s UFO landing on the estate
of Prince Philip with: "So there had been a landing
on the estate of Mountbatten and there was Mountbatten's
great interest." The entire testimony was made
during an interview with the Disclosure Project in
September 2000. Prince Philip supposedly had a drawer
full of sketches and information on different types of
UFOs. Philip co-founded the WWF International in 1961
with Julian Huxley and Prince Bernhard. He has been the
long time president of WWF UK. Co-founded the 1001
Nature Trust and 1001 Club from 1971 to 1974, together
with Anton Rupert and Prince Bernhard. Co-founded the
Interfaith consultations between Jews, Christians, and
Muslims in 1984, together with Crown Prince Hassan of
Jordan and Sir Evelyn de Rothschild at Windsor castle.
In August 1988, Prince Philip said to the West German
Deutsche Press Agentur: "In the event that I am
reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus,
in order to contribute something to solve
overpopulation". He wrote something along similar
lines in the foreword of the 1987 book 'If I Were An
Animal', written by Fleur Cowles. Philip was supposedly
hostile to Diana after she divorced Charles in 1996.
Mohamed Al-Fayed claimed Prince Philip had ordered
Diana's murder who was killed in a car crash on August
31, 1997. Queen Elizabeth II said to Diana's butler Paul
Burrell in December 1997: "Nobody, Paul has been as
close to a member of my family as you have... There are
powers at work in this country about which we have no
knowledge." She advised him to be cautious and to
lay low. Unlike his son, Charles, Philip supports
genetically modified foods. On June 7, 2000, The
Guardian quoted the Duke of Edinburgh as saying: "Do
not let us forget we have been genetically modifying
animals and plants ever since people started selective
breeding." Philip is known to be the head of the
family; what he says, generally goes. He is still
president emeritus of the WWF International. |

| Pauley, Edwin W. |
Owl's Nest |
Pauley made his fortune running oil companies from
the mid-1920s onward. He became involved with the
Democratic Party as a fundraiser in 1930s, eventually
becoming treasurer of the Democratic National Committee.
In the summer of 1944, while treasurer of the DNC,
Pauley was part of a group that persuaded Roosevelt to
choose Truman over Henry Wallace as the
vice-presidential nominee. He later served as United
States representative to the Allied Reparations
Committee from 1945-1947. In May 1946, Pauley met with
Herbert Hoover to discuss the impact of food relief on
Japan's ability to pay reparations. Pauley was en route
to East Asia to discuss with General MacArthur the
Japanese situation in light of rising tensions with the
Soviet Union. When Truman nominated Pauley to be
Undersecretary of the Navy in 1946, he was opposed by
Secretary of the Interior, Harold Ickes. Ickes held that
Pauley's ties to oil interests was a clear conflict of
interest. Truman pressed ahead with the nomination, so
Ickes resigned. This effectively scuttled Pauley's
nomination, and led him to return to working behind the
scenes in the Democratic Party. Pauley served in
Truman's 'kitchen cabinet' and advised Presidents
Kennedy and Johnson. He also was an ardent supporter of
UCLA, both as a regent and as a financial donor. Pauley
Pavilion is named for him. |

While practicing law in his native Youngstown, Ohio,
he served the San Francisco 49ers' front office in 1983
as vice president and general counsel. By 1991 he had
been promoted to president and chief executive officer.
He played a key role in all five of the 49ers' Super
Bowl winning teams in 1982, '85, '89, '90 and '95. He
earned a reputation as one of the preeminent executives
in professional sports during his years as president and
chief executive officer of the 49ers. Policy was a
member of the NFL Finance Committee and the Committee on
Opportunities and Challenges. Both The Sporting News and
Pro Football Weekly named him NFL Executive of the Year
in 1994, the latter award having been determined by a
vote of NFL owners and executives. He serves on the
board of directors of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation
and expects to maintain a high level of civic and
charitable involvement in the Cleveland area. He holds
the prestigious Silver Cable Car Award from the San
Francisco Convention and Visitors Bureau and The Mayor's
Fiscal Advisory Committee Award in recognition of his
managerial skills. Some have asked why Carmen Policy
used to spent months at a time defending some of the
most notorious mobsters between New York and Chicago.
Other questions are tougher. Like why his name was
mentioned repeatedly, and often cryptically, in secretly
recorded 1980 conversations after mobsters laundered
money through Policy's law partner. Or what Policy might
have known about alleged links between the gangsters he
represented and one of his biggest business clients. Or
why so many of his business partners wind up in trouble
with the law. Policy will not answer these or any other
questions about his past. A Browns spokesman turned down
a request for an interview, saying Policy does not have
the time. |

noteworthy performance of the kind occurred in 1893 when
Joseph D. Redding, now a lawyer in New York, devised a
beautiful spectacle, "The Cremation of Care." Time
Magazine in 1933: "Origin of the Grove plays goes
back to one Joseph D. Redding, San Francisco attorney
who died last year. He proposed and wrote the first
play, The Man of the Forest. In 1911 his Natoma was set
to music by Victor Herbert, produced in Philadelphia
with Mary Garden and John McCormack.' The best western
composers have contributed scores for the Grove plays
and Bohemians aver that much beautiful music is thereby
lost to the world, as the plays are seldom given public
performance." Redding was respected as an attorney,
musician, composer, chess player, and scientist. Was
very interested in marine life. |

entered the US Navy in 1942, serving on the USS
Intrepid, including her action in the Battle of Okinawa.
While serving as a Committee Counsel to a US Senate

Un-American Activities Committee's investigation of
Alger Hiss at the request of then-Congressman Richard M.
Nixon, and advised Nixon that Hiss had lied and that the
case against him should be pursued. In 1950, Rogers
became a partner in a New York City law firm, Dwight,
Royall, Harris, Koegel & Caskey. Thereafter he
returned to this firm when not in government service. It
was later renamed Rogers & Wells, and subsequently
Clifford Chance Rogers & Wells. He worked in the
firm's Washington, D.C. office until several months
before his death. Rogers joined the Administration of
President Dwight D. Eisenhower in a
Deputy-Attorney-General position in 1953, and then
served from 1957 to 1961, as Attorney General. He

| Rove, Karl |
|
In 1970, as a protégé of Donald Segretti (later
convicted as a Watergate conspirator), Karl Rove sneaked
into the campaign office of Illinois Democrat Alan Dixon
and stole some letterhead, which he used to print fake
campaign rally fliers promising "free beer, free food,
girls and a good time for nothing," and distributed them
at rock concerts and homeless shelters. Rove admitted
the incident years later, saying "I was nineteen and I
got involved in a political prank." Rove learned at age
nineteen, during his parents' divorce, that the man who
raised him, a mineral geologist, was not his biological
father. Rove's mother committed suicide in Reno, Nevada,
in 1981. Rove dropped out of the University of Utah in
1971 to become the Executive Director of the College
Republican National Committee and held this position
until 1972, when he became the National Chairman
(1973-1974). In this role, Karl Rove had access to
powerful politicians and government officials of the
Republican party, and formed ties with George H. W.
Bush, then Chairman of the Republican National Committee
(1973-1974). For the next few years, Rove worked in
various Republican circles and assisted George H. W.
Bush's 1980 vice-presidential campaign. Rove is credited
for introducing Bush to Lee Atwater, who would go on to
play a critical role in Bush's 1988 presidential
campaign. Like Atwater, Karl Rove is well known for his
effective campaign tactics, employing push polls and
frequently attacking an opponent on the opponent's
strongest issue. In 1981, Rove founded direct mail
consulting firm, Karl Rove + Company, based out of
Austin, Texas. This firm's first clients included
Republican Governor Bill Clements and Democratic
Congressman Phil Gramm, who later became a Republican
Congressman and United States Senator. In 1993, Rove
began advising George W. Bush's gubernatorial campaign.
He continued, however, to operate his consulting
business until 1999, when he sold the firm to focus his
efforts on Bush's bid for the presidency. In 1986, just
before a crucial debate in the election for governor of
Texas, Karl Rove claimed that his office had been bugged
by the Democrats. The police and FBI investigated and
discovered that bug's battery was so small that it
needed to be changed every few hours, and the
investigation was dropped. Critics alleged that Rove had
bugged his own office to garner sympathy votes in the
close governor's race. Rove is thought to be behind
misleading Swift Boat Veterans for Truth television ads
that quoted Kerry as saying U.S. military personnel in
Vietnam "had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off
heads," "randomly shot at civilians," and "razed
villages in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan,"
without Kerry's qualification that he was reporting what
others said at a Vietnam veterans' conference, and not
what Kerry had personally witnessed. Another ad from
SBVT accused Kerry of lying to win his Vietnam combat
medals. George W. Bush called Rove the "architect" of
his 2004 Presidential Campaign in his 3 November 2004
acceptance speech. Rove has been accused of pulling many
other dirty tricks over the years. In March 2001, Rove
met with executives from Intel, successfully advocating
a merger between a Dutch company and an Intel company
supplier. Rove owned $100,000 in Intel stock at the
time. In June 2001, Rove met with two pharmaceutical
industry lobbyists. At the time, Rove held almost
$250,000 in drug industry stocks. On 30 June 2001, Rove
divested his stocks in 23 companies, which included more
than $100,000 in each of Enron, Boeing, General
Electric, and Pfizer. On 30 June 2001, the White House
admitted that Rove was involved in administration energy
policy meetings, while at the same time holding stock in
energy companies including Enron. June 23, 2005, marked
another controversial statement from Rove.
"Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks
and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the
9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer
therapy and understanding for our attackers," said Mr.
Rove at a fund-raiser in New York City for the
Conservative Party of New York State. Presently
embroiled in controversy concerning his involvement in
revealing the identity of CIA employee Valerie Plame,
allegedly in retaliation for her husband's criticisms of
the administration. |

Donald Rumsfeld, William Colby, Frank Carlucci, James

Marine Corps 1942-1945, attaining the rank of Captain.
Faculty member at MIT 1946-1947. At MIT, according to
several accounts, Shultz teamed up with the German
social engineer Kurt Lewin, who was setting up a
psychological research institute there (died in 1947).
Lewin emigrated from Germany to the US in 1932 and is
said to have been a leading member of the Tavistock
Institute (at the very least he served as a source of
inspiration to many of their psychiatrists). Taught in
both the MIT Department of Economics and the MIT Sloan
School of Management 1948-1957. Earned a Ph.D. from MIT
in industrial economics in 1949. Chairman of MIT's
Industrial Relations Division 1954-1957. Leave of
absence in 1955 to serve on President Dwight
Eisenhower's Council of Economic Advisers as a senior
staff economist. Joined the University of Chicago
Graduate School of Business as professor of industrial
relations in 1957 and served as dean of the school from
1962 to 1968. Involved in Nixon's election campaign of
1968. Nixon's Secretary of Labor 1969-1970. One of the
main organizers of the US-USSR Trade and Economic
Council in 1972. Nixon's Secretary of the Treasury
1972-1974. It was during this period that Schultz, along
with Paul Volcker and Arthur Burns, supported the
decision of the Nixon administration to end the gold
standard and the Bretton Woods system. Shultz also
regularly played golf with Stephen Bechtel Jr. at
Burning Tree. President and director of the Bechtel
Group 1974-1982, a privately-held huge construction
company strongly linked to the intelligence agencies.
Also acted as president of the Bechtel Foundation. Ran
Ronald Reagan's election campaign in 1980, together with
Bechtel vice-president Caspar Weinburger. Chairman of
the President's Economic Policy Advisory Board from

On Oct. 25, 1984, speaking at the Park Avenue Synagogue
in New York, Shultz delivered remarks calling for the
U.S. to adopt a preemptive first-strike policy, such was
implemented 20 years later by the Bush-Cheney
administration. According to John Perkins, former chief
economist and "economic hitman", Shultz functioned as
the heir to Robert Strange McNamara (1001 Club) as one
of the top figures in the new imperial pyramid of power,
which employed the structure of economic hitmen to bleed
and crush nations. Examples are the Philippines'
Ferdinand Marcos in 1986, and such as the various
attacks on Panama, culminating in the 1989 invasion.
Then-Secretary of State Shultz had spoken one day
earlier, Sept. 30, threatening the nations present that
they had better stay in line, and pay their debts to the
IMF. As Secretary of State, he automatically became a
honorary member of the Pilgrims Society and gave at
least one speech to this club in 1985. In August 1988,
while travelling from the airport to La Paz, Bolivia,
Shultz's motorcade was bombed, supposedly by drug
dealers. There was only material damage. In 1989 he
rejoined Bechtel as a director and senior counselor (he
still is anno 2005). Director at Gilead Sciences since
1996. Director Fremont Group, Inc. (owned by the Bechtel
corporation) and the Charles Schwab Corporation.
Chairman of Accenture's Energy Advisory Board. Former
member of the Advisory Council of Forstmann Little &
Co. (Henry Kissinger, Colin Powell, and Donald Rumsfeld
have been other members). Has visited the Trilateral
Commission in the 1990s. Teamed up with George Soros in
1998 to promote a series of referenda to legalize
narcotics. According to author James Mann, who wrote the
Rise of the Vulcans book about Bush's inner Cabinet,
Shultz initiated a discussion with George W. in the
Spring of 1998, whereby the future President sat down in
Shultz's living room on the Stanford University campus,
in order to see if he would be the right man for the
presidency. At that meeting were Martin Anderson, the
former advisor to both Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan;
Abraham Sofaer, a former Shultz aide; John Cogan and
John Taylor, two economics professors; and Stanford's
provost, and Shultz protege, Condoleezza Rice. After the
scholars associated with the Hoover Institution
indicated that they thought Bush would make a good
Presidential choice, Bush invited Shultz, Rice, and
Anderson down to Austin, Texas for a follow-up meeting
in the Summer. Out of that meeting, which was joined by
Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz, came the public decision
for Bush to run for President. Soon Richard Perle and
Dov Zakheim were holding Monday morning conference calls
with Bush. Bush W. became president in 2000, selecting
the above individuals as his primary staff members.
Initial member of the Committee for the Liberation of
Iraq in 2002, a year before that country was invaded.
Co-chairman of the economic taskforce for California
gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2003.

with James Woolsey), and an advisor to the Washington
Institute for Near East Policy (together with Alexander
Haig, Lawrence S. Eagleburger, Richard Perle, James
Woolsey, and, until recently, Paul Wolfowitz). Honorary
director of the Institute for International Economics
(headed by Peter G. Peterson. Other directors are Paul
Volcker, Maurice R. Greenberg, and David Rockefeller).
Member of the Hoover Institution and the American
Enterprise Institute New Atlantic Initiative. Shultz's
most senior advisor and confidant is Charles Hill, a
former diplomat to Israel, the Far East, and to the
secretary-general of the UN, who now holds positions at
Yale and Stanford. Shultz has been a long time associate
of Henry Kissinger. |

concentrated on investments in real estate and financial
service organizations in the western United States and
on the Pacific Rim. Most recently, in 1988, he founded
William E. Simon & Sons, a global merchant bank with

| Skinner, David .E. |
|
David "Ned" Skinner took over Alaska Steamship after
the death of his father, G. W. Skinner, in 1953.
Increased competition from state-subsidized ferries and
barge operations had put the company into a decline and
Skinner had to close it in 1971, a major disappointment
in his business life. But as head of the Skinner
Corporation, Ned branched out into real estate (the
Skinner Building and 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle,
Carillon Point in Kirkland), Pepsi-Cola bottling, and NC
Machinery tractor sales. By 1988, the Skinner
Corporation was the 10th largest privately held
corporation in the U.S. In 1960, Skinner joined with
other investors to form the Pentagram Corporation to
build the Space Needle, a futuristic, 605-foot tower and
revolving restaurant that would become the icon for the
Century 21 Seattle World’s Fair and for Seattle itself.
The 1962 World’s Fair marked the shift in Seattle from
"provincial backwater into a genuinely cosmopolitan port
city" (Crowley). Skinner is said to have raised more
than $5 million for the fair and was prepared to take a
loss on his own investment if it raised Seattle’s
profile in the world. Skinner sat on the boards of the
Boeing Company, Safeco, Pacific Northwest Bell, Pacific
National Bank, and actively guided corporate policy.
Skinner died of cancer in 1988. |

In 1892, Sterling, a real estate speculator, met the
dominant literary figure on the west coast, Ambrose
Bierce, at Lake Temescal and immediately fell under his
spell. Bierce -- to whom Sterling referred as "the
Master" -- guided the young poet in his writing as well
as in his reading, pointing to the classics as model and
inspiration. Sterling also met adventure and science
fiction writer Jack London. Sterling also maintained a
room at the Bohemian Club in San Francisco, to whose
exclusive fold Bierce had given him entrée. This Club
(founded in 1872, it was the first in the U.S.)
sponsored summer outings on the Russian River, north of
San Francisco, which were called "High Jinks" and were
attended by Sterling, London, Stewart Edward White, and
many others. Sterling wrote and directed a number of
plays for these events, including 'The Triumph of
Bohemia: A Forest Play' and 'Truth; A Grove Play'. |

| Twain, Mark |
|
Also a Pilgrims Society member. Mark Twain
(pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens) was an American
writer, journalist and humorist, who won a worldwide
audience for his stories of the youthful adventures of
Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Clemens was born on
November 30, 1835 in Florida, Missouri, of a Virginian
family. He was brought up in Hannibal, Missouri. After
his father's death in 1847, he was apprenticed to a
printer and wrote for his brother's newspaper. He later
worked as a licensed Mississippi river-boat pilot. The
Civil War put an end to the steamboat traffic and
Clemens moved to Virginia City, where he edited the
Territorial Enterprise. On February 3, 1863, 'Mark
Twain' was born when Clemens signed a humorous travel
account with that pseudonym. In 1864 Twain left for
California, and worked in San Francisco as a reporter.
He visited Hawaii as a correspondent for The Sacramento
Union, publishing letters on his trip and giving
lectures. He set out on a world tour, traveling in
France and Italy. His experiences were recorded in 1869
in The Innocents Abroad, which gained him wide
popularity, and poked fun at both American and European
prejudices and manners. The success as a writer gave
Twain enough financial security to marry Olivia Langdon
in 1870. They moved next year to Hartford. Twain
continued to lecture in the United States and England.
Between 1876 and 1884 he published several masterpieces,
Tom Sawyer (1881) and The Prince And The Pauper (1881).
Life On The Mississippi appeared in 1883 and Huckleberry
Finn in 1884. In the 1890s Twain lost most of his
earnings in financial speculations and in the failure of
his own publishing firm. To recover from the bankruptcy,
he started a world lecture tour, during which one of his
daughters died. Twain toured New Zealand, Australia,
India, and South Africa. He wrote such books as The
Tragedy Of Pudd'head Wilson (1884), Personal
Recollections Of Joan Of Arc (1885), A Connecticut
Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and the travel book
Following The Equator (1897). During his long writing
career, Twain also produced a considerable number of
essays. The death of his wife and his second daughter
darkened the author's later years, which is seen in his
posthumously published autobiography (1924). Mark Twain
was present at a February 1908 Pilgrim dinner in New
York, as reported by the New York Times (The newspaper
wrote a huge amount of articles about him). |

| Walters, Vernon |
|
General Walters occupied a front- row seat at an
array of historic events in the post-World War II era,
as a translator, adviser, administrator and diplomat. He
spoke seven or eight languages, five of them fluently,
and served part time as an interpreter to five
presidents. Vernon Anthony Walters was born in New York
City on January 3, 1917, and attended Stonyhurst College
in England. He joined the United States Army in 1941,
and served in North Africa and Italy during World War
II, retiring in 1976 as a Lieutenant General. From 1955
to 1960, he was a staff assistant to President
Eisenhower, acting as interpreter for the President,
Vice President and senior diplomatic and military
officials. Appointed by President Nixon, General Walters
was deputy chief of the C.I.A. from 1972 to 1976. Just
weeks after Mr. Nixon sent him to the agency, the White
House tried to involve the C.I.A. in the Watergate
scandal that eventually forced Mr. Nixon's resignation.
According to later Congressional testimony by John W.
Dean 3d, the President's counsel at the time, Mr. Nixon
had picked General Walters for the job in order to have
a "good friend" in the intelligence agency. Two Nixon
aides, H. R. Haldeman and John D. Ehrlichman, asked
General Walters to caution the Federal Bureau of
Investigation to limit its inquiries lest they
compromise C.I.A. operations. "It simply did not occur
to me that the chief of staff of the President might be
asking me something that was illegal or wrong," Mr.
Walters wrote in his memoir. But on orders from his
superior, Richard M. Helms, the director of central
intelligence, the general rescinded his advisory to the
F.B.I. According to General Walters, Mr. Dean
subsequently asked him repeatedly to pay off the
Watergate burglars with secret C.I.A. funds, but he
refused to do so and threatened to resign publicly if
there was one more such call. In 1981, President Reagan
offered General Walters the job of roving ambassador,
which he accepted. Finally, he served as ambassador to
the United Nations from 1985 to 1988, and as ambassador
to West Germany from 1989 to 1991. He had many
opportunities in his career to witness the making of
history. He was W. Averell Harriman's aide in the early
years of the cold war, accompanied President Truman to a
meeting with an insubordinate General Douglas MacArthur
during the Korean War and shuttled with President
Eisenhower to a series of summit meetings, held in
Geneva and White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, among
other places. As translator for Vice President Nixon
during his good-will tour of Latin America in 1958,
General Walters was cut in the mouth by broken glass
when a mob stoned their car in Caracas. Later, as a
military attaché in Paris, General Walters is remembered
for borrowing the private plane of President Georges
Pompidou to smuggle Henry A. Kissinger in and out of
France for clandestine meetings with Le Duc Tho of North
Vietnam."He was great as our James Bond, getting us
in and out secretly, even giving us code names,"
said Winston Lord, former president of the Council on
Foreign Relations, who accompanied Mr. Kissinger to the
secret talks with the Vietnamese. General Walters, a
bachelor, leaves no immediate survivors. Walters was a
Knight of Malta. |

| Watson, Thomas J., Jr. |
Mandalay |
Eldest son of Thomas J. Watson, the founder of IBM,
known to have struggled throughout his life with
depression, earned a business degree from Brown
University in 1937, and worked a few years as an IBM
salesman. In May of 1956 Watson Jr. was named CEO of the
company. Only six weeks later his father died. Thomas
Jr. took the single biggest risk in IBM's history when
he decided to make all of its previous computer software
(and hardware, for that matter) obsolete, by developing
a uniform range of new IBM mainframe computers. The new
machines were compatible within the range—i.e., they
could run the same software and use the same
peripherals—but incompatible with the former mainframes.
The new series, called the System/360, almost completely
bankrupted the entire company; its highly successful
launch in 1964 was called by Fortune magazine "IBM's $5
Billion Gamble". That same year, because of this
success, Dwight D. Eisenhower at the New York World's
Fair awarded Thomas J. Watson Jr. the Medal of Freedom,
the highest award a U.S. President can bestow on a
civilian. Watson was CEO of IBM from 1956 to 1971 and
became a US ambassador to the Soviet Union 1979-1981. He
also was a trustee of the China Institute and was called
by Fortune Magazine “the most successful capitalist who
ever lived” (1976) He was a member of the Pilgrims
Society, the 1001 Club, and the Council on Foreign
Relations. |

| White, Stewart Edward |
|
Author who published a number of books of
"channeled'' material. Born March 12, 1873, at Grand
Rapids, Michigan, he studied at the University of
Michigan (Ph.D., 1895; M.A., 1903). In 1904 he married
Elizabeth (Betty) Grant, and they settled in California
where he became well known as an author of many books,
articles, and short stories dealing with his experiences
around the state in mining and lumber camps, and on
exploration trips. In March, 1918, Betty and Stewart
Edward White had their first experience with the spirit
world. At a party with friends, the Ouija board, being
used as a parlor game, spelled the name "Betty" over and
over again. When Betty took over the pointer, it spelled
out a number of messages, including the advice to try
"automatic writing." For over a year Betty and Stewart
experimented with "automatic writing," receiving a
number of messages which proved evidential. Betty was
slowly led into another method in which she entered a
higher state of consciousness, speaking in her own voice
or the voice of another entity. The entities
communicating through Betty declined to be identified,
wishing to remain anonymous, and thus were named "the
Invisibles" by the the Whites. "The Invisibles" led her
into another, higher world, teaching her to create a new
identity. Stewart recorded the messages and experiences
which Betty reported in her higher state of
consciousness. "The Invisibles" indicated that they were
not only teaching Betty to enter a higher world of
spiritual consciousness but were interested in teaching
all humans how to enter this world. Betty and Stewart
White continued the sessions with "the Invisibles" from
1919 to 1936. Having waited for seventeen years, they
finally decided to publish their first book outlining
their adventures in learning about and entering the
higher spiritual world. |
