CFR runs US Intel Does Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House (RIIA) Run UK intel? David Shedrow Ever hear of the Inquiry? It was the first US intelligence agency. CFR founding father Col House was the first National Security Advisor. In 1992 I first found reference to the Inquiry in a footnote to Caroll Quigley's Anglo American Establishment (1966. In 1996 Council on Foreign Relations member Peter Grose published a book called Continuing the Inquiry The Council on Foreign Relations From 1921 To 1996. It is available on the Council on Foreign Relations website. http://www.cfr.org/about/history/cfr/index.html Most US National Security Advisors since House have been CFR members. Most CIA chiefs have also been CFR members. It is likely Council on Foreign Relations member General David Petreaus will be the next CIA chief. The CFR has uses the intelligence agencies to help plan and carry out psyco-political operations focused at different groups around the world and in the United States to cause conflict, control public opinion and increase corporate member profits. This is done with $55,000,000,000 plus dollar intelligence budgets funded with US taxpayer money. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/checkpoint-washington/post/intelligence-spending-still-buried-deep-in-the-budget/2011/06/24/AGfhBTjH_blog.html?tid=sm_twitter_washingtonpost It is also likely that the CFR's UK sister organization the Royal Institute of International Affairs ( Chatham House ) controls British intelligence. Are there any courageous British journalists willing to pursue this story? Don't the British people have a right to know who is running British intelligence and if they are doing so in the best interests of the British people or in the best interests of the Chatham House Plutocracy? CFR membership Roster http://www.cfr.org/content/about/annual_report/ar_2010/Membership_Roster2010.pdf CFR corporate member http://www.cfr.org/about/corporate/roster.html Royal Institute Of International Affairs aka Chatham House Corporate member list http://www.chathamhouse.org.uk/membership/corporate/major_corporate_members_list/ Public records show a number of apparently unfrozen UK-based assets linked to Egyptian regime figures, some of whom are now in jail in Cairo for economic fraud. Gamal Mubarak was on a list published by the Treasury in March 2011 detailing 19 Egyptians whose assets were to be frozen. Yet MedInvest Associates, a London-based investment firm of which Gamal was a director, has never been frozen. Gamal subsequently stepped down as director and in February MedInvest was quietly dissolved voluntarily, potentially allowing its assets to be transferred abroad beyond the reach of investigators. Gamal Mubarak is also heavily linked with a £10m London home round the corner from Harrods department store. The Knightsbridge house is named as Mubarak's place of address in his company filings for MedInvest and listed as the Mubarak family home on the birth certificate of Gamal's daughter, born in London in 2010. But the property has not been frozen for investigation. Gamal is now in jail in Cairo, awaiting verdict on money laundering charges. Another figure on the Treasury's sanctions list has actually been allowed to open a new business in the UK. Naglaa el-Ghazarley, wife of former tourism and housing minister Ahmed el-Maghrabi -- now serving a five-year jail sentence in Egypt for corruption -- registered Essential Designs by Nejla last November, almost eight months after the UK promised to freeze her assets. The company's registered address in Chelsea also remains unfrozen. Tim Daniel, a lawyer specialising in asset recovery, said it was "extraordinary" that someone on the sanctions list could begin trading in the UK in this way. Judge Assem el-Gohari, the official in Egypt's ministry of justice responsible for tracing stolen funds, insists that he has challenged the UK authorities over their inaction, but was told in response that British investigators need more information to proceed. "The British government is obliged by law to help us but it doesn't want to make any effort at all to recover the money. It just says: Give us evidence. Is that reasonable? "We're in Egypt. How can we search for money in the UK? We believe the UK has breached international law and the anti-corruption agreements." http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/sep/02/scandal-mubarak-regime-millions-assets-uk
