The Dönmeh: The Middle East’s Most Whispered Secret (Part II)

Wayne MADSEN: What will surprise those who may already be surprised about the Dönmeh connection to Turkey, is the Dönmeh connection to the House of Saud in Saudi Arabia...Considering the links between Ergenekon and the Dönmeh in Turkey and the close intelligence and military links between the Dönmeh-descendent Sauds and Wahhabis in Arabia, the reports of close links between ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and his intelligence chief Omar Suleiman and the Binyamin Netanyahu government in Israel may be seen in an entirely new light…

The Dönmeh: The Middle East’s Most Whispered Secret (Part I)

Wayne MADSEN: There is a historical “eight hundred pound gorilla” lurking in the background of almost every serious military and diplomatic incident involving Israel, Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Greece, Armenia, the Kurds, the Assyrians, and some other players in the Middle East and southeastern Europe...And it is the secretiveness attached to the subject that has been the reason for so much misunderstanding about the current breakdown in relations between Israel and Turkey, a growing warming of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, and increasing enmity between Saudi Arabia and Iran…

Bohemian Grove - men only - SFGate

The "weaving spiders" motto also provides cover for a club that discriminates against women. [...] in the Bay Area, good liberals and civil libertarians who would not dream of joining a club that refuses to admit blacks or Jews, raise their glasses in a club that discriminates against women. A roster of 2010 members released by norcaltruth.org - the club does not release its membership list - includes a couple of Rockefellers and the ubiquitous Koch brothers. [...] conspiracy theories about sinister deals cut amid the redwoods. Some men kept coming back to the same camps every year to discuss intimate issues - their prostates, wives - in an atmosphere analogous to a men's group. California courts have upheld the club's right to exclude female members but ordered it to hire female staff at the club and at the grove's food facilities. [...] I buy Phillips' summation - that the retreat presents powerful "men celebrating their male eliteness, which is kind of how the world works." The male-only bastion's discriminatory polices hurt women trying to compete in business and politics - and everyone in politics knows it.

The Martial Law Act of 2006 - The Future of Freedom Foundation

Martial law is perhaps the ultimate stomping of freedom. And yet, on September 30, 2006, Congress passed a provision in a 591-page bill that will make it easy for President Bush to impose martial law in response to a terrorist “incident.” It also empowers him to effectively declare martial law in response to what he or other federal officials label a shortfall of “public order” — whatever that means. It took only a few paragraphs in a $500 billion, 591-page Continue Reading

Crisis that goes to the heart of the City | The Independent

he London Stock Exchange is in a mess. Its attempts to bully the City into approving a merger with the Frankfurt Börse have blown up in its face. First the little guys - the backwoods brokers who trade a few stocks for Aunty Marge in Bognor Regis - objected. Then the bigger players started raising the alarm until it became apparent that the vote on the deal was likely to be lost. The Swedes - who, historically, make up such an insignificant market, it's like Gillingham squaring up to Manchester United - were audacious enough to make a hostile £800m bid for the London Stock Exchange. Then, the whole deal fell apart.

A Saudi Prince Fond of High-Profile Investing - NYTimes.com

Just who is Donald J. Trump's Prince, and why has he come now to buy into the Plaza Hotel? Prince Walid bin Talal is the Saudi ruling family's most prominent -- and most adventurous -- international investor, with large stakes in Citicorp, Four Seasons Hotels, Fairmont Hotels, Euro Disney and Saks Fifth Avenue, which is controlled by Investcorp of Bahrain. He is a nephew of King Fahd of Saudia Arabia and a grandson of the Kingdom's founder, King Abdulaziz al-Saud. The 40-year-old Prince has relished taking high-profile international investments in which he believes his capital, teaming up with superior management, can earn significant returns. The Prince, backed by a staff of Arab and Western financiers, has concentrated particularly on the international hotel, financial services and entertainment industries, spending hundreds of millions of dollars in a string of headline-grabbing announcements.

ALONE WITH ALL THAT MONEY - NYTimes.com

ONCE UPON A TIME A True Story. By Gloria Vanderbilt. Illustrated. 301 pp. New York: Alfred A. Knopf. $16.95. THE first sad words in this immensely sad autobiography appear at the end of the dedication of ''Once Upon a Time'': ''And to the memory of my Mother Always.'' Prevented from ever really knowing her mother by reptilian conspiracies that originated in the agitation that surrounds huge fortunes, in priggishness and greed, malice, dementia, sexual vendettas and in a simple lack of human kindness - and also by her mother herself (who, to all eyes but Gloria Vanderbilt's, must look monstrously selfish and uncaring) - Miss Vanderbilt still yearns for the dazzling creature from whose custody she was removed in 1934 in an ugly trial, the meaning of which the girl was too young and too frightened to comprehend. The daughter of the playboy Reginald Claypoole Vanderbilt and his teen-age second wife, Gloria Mercedes Morgan, Gloria Vanderbilt was the most famous American child of the 1930's. Her father died when she was 18 months old, and her mother, whose socialite activities, affairs and travels were financed by income from her daughter's trust fund, was a remarkably negligent parent. Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, the sculptor and the little girl's paternal aunt, was eventually provoked to sue for custody of the child. With the support of Gloria Morgan, the child's maternal grandmother, Mrs. Whitney won.
