It used to be the case (and may still be) that the non-board advisers and members of international advisory panel
were far more high profile than the board itself.
I am re-posting my 20th January 2003 post providing some details of these guys:
***
Anyone wishing to take a serious look at Conrad Black need only look at his Hollinger Corp and those he has sitting on
his Board of Directors, International Advisory Board and Directors of subsidiary companies. The papers I have naming these are now a few years out of date (1993) but
included such notables as:
Baroness Thatchler (Honorary Senior International Advisor), Lord Carrington (Senior Intl Advisor), Henry Kissinger
(likewise), Giovanni Agnelli (member Intl Advisory Board), Zbigniew Brzezinski (same), William Buckley Jr (same),
Sir James Goldsmith (same), Lord Hanson (same), Chaim Herzog (same), Richard Perle (same), Lord Rothschild (same), Paul Volcker (same), Rupert Hambro (director of subsidiary), Henry Kiswick (same), Lord King (same), Sir Evelyn de Rothschild (same), Lord Swaythling (same).
This is a listing straight out of the Bilderberg Conferences and Trilat memberships. Dear old Peter Carrington, as a young Guards officer during WWII, appears to have made a bit of a whoopsy-daisy during a significant battle following the Allied invasion on D-day, by not prosecuting an attack - using his tank troop - on a certain bridge that was defended by one solitary Nazi tank. That odd lack of action arguably resulted in the failure of Montgomery's bold plan to capture the bridges in Holland and enter Germany via the backdoor -- a plan so audacious that it was believed it would end the war by Christmas 1944.
And just where did this mighty sit-down-and-do-nothing attitude occur? Well, let's see... could it possibly be at a place called "Oosterbeck" - famous, if for nothing else, for being the lexact geographical ocation of the now infamous Hotel de Bilderberg, which hosted the first ever meeting of
the Bilderberg Group in 1954.
It would be even more curious if Lord Carrington ever attended a Bilderberg Conference. Which, of course, he did. I wonder how he relayed the abject inactivity of his Guards tank troop as it drew to a complete, grinding halt on the far side of the Nijmegen bridge, just captured at an atrocious cost by the courage of the soldiers of the 82nd Airborne.
One also wonders if it was during these monumentous events, that Peter Carrington first met Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands - formerly a German prince who, prior to his marriage in 1937 (as I recall) was employed by NW7, the foreign intelligence division of the Nazi's most beloved I G Farben? Perhaps cynicism is ruling my black heart and these two only met when Carrington attended the Bilderberg Conference of which Prince Bernhard was the Chairman (that is until he got caught soliciting bribes in the Lockheed
scandal).
However, the thing about the failure of the attack on the bridge at Arnhem, was that it left intact Bormann's capital flight programme, Aktion Fuueland (Operation Fireland), which was set in motion a month earlier during the then secret meeting at the Hotel Maison Rouge in Strasbourg on 10th August 1944. Bormann needed a year to get all the Nazi assets and plunder safely stashed away before the war ended (which by then was inevitable, by the way). Had the war finished by Christmas 1944 - as predicted in the event of the success of Operation Market Garden - then all that luvely jubely such as cash, gold, artworks and industrial patents, diamonds, morphine, more cash, platinum, gold coins, lots more cash, pre-war securities (mostly American
issued), more cash... would've quite possibly fallen into the "official" hands of the Allied powers.
And that, it seems, would've been simply disasterous...
