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 a leading player in water system

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.

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

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 capacity he had much to do with
negotiating the enormous American loan to Britain
for postwar reconstruction. Robert H. Brand also
married Nancy Astor's sister and 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

Butler, Nicholas Murray
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 Pilgrims
Society 1928-1946. Visitor of the Bohemian 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

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.

"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."

strategies. In March 1976, Democratic Senator Floyd
Haskell advanced charges that Callaway, while
serving as Secretary of the Army, had furthered his
family's interests in a Colorado ski resort by
persuading the Forest Service and the Civil
Aeronautics Board to make rulings favorable to the
resort. Callaway asked President Ford to relieve him
of his duties pending the resolution of these
charges. With Ford in a tough fight for the

Donovan, William
William Donovan was
born in Buffalo, United States, on 1st January,
1883. After graduating from Columbia University in
1907 he became a lawyer. Donovan was an active
member of the Republican Party and after meeting
Herbert Hoover he worked as his political adviser,
speech writer and campaign manager. During the First
World War Donovan joined the United States Army and
as a colonel in the 69th Infantry Regiment won the
Medal of Honor and three Purple Hearts. While in
Europe he 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 Britain's MI6 chief, Stewart Menzies. Donovan
was given the rank of major general and during the
Second World War he built up a team of 16,000 agents
working behind enemy lines. As soon as the Second
World War ended President Harry S. Truman ordered
the OSS to be closed down. However, it provided a
model for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
established in September 1947. Donovan returned to
his law practice in 1946. In 1949, he became
chairman of the newly-founded American Committee on
United Europe (ACUE), which he helped to establish
together with Churchill son-in-law and CIA agent
Duncan Sandys, Vatican agent Joseph Retinger, and
Knights of Malta member and CIA chief Allen Dulles.
Donovan himself was another member of the Knights of
Malta. Through the ACUE a lot of CIA, Rockefeller,
and Ford money was funneled to Radio Free Europe,
the Economist, the European Council of Princes, the
Gehlen Organization, and the Stay-Behind networks.
Donovan became ambassador to Thailand in 1953 and
died in 1959. He was already attending the Bohemian
Grove in the 1920's.

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

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

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 went back to Washington as

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

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.

Thieu to negotiate the final cease-fire talks in
October 1972. Promoted to full 4 star general in

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".

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 as 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

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

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 guest of one of his

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.

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.

Policy, Carmen
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.

The New York Times on June 25, 1899: "The most
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.

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.

Margaret Pratt Shultz. Charles Pratt (1830-1891),
Margaret's grandfather, became a partner of John D.
Rockefeller after merging his oil company with
Standard Oil in 1874. His son, Shultz's grandfather,
Charles Millard Pratt (1858-1933), was treasurer of
Standard Oil and his widow bequeathed their New York
mansion, the Charles Pratt House, to the Council on
Foreign Relations in 1945, which serves as its
headquarters ever since. Birl Earl Shultz
(1883-1955), George's father, was a personnel
director with the American International Corporation
and founded the New York Stock Exchange Institute
(November 10, 1955, NY Times, obituary). B.A. degree
in economics from Princeton University in 1942.
Attended Cap & Gown events, according to Kay Griggs,
just as Allen Dulles, Donald Rumsfeld, William
Colby, Frank Carlucci, James Baker, and George
Griggs (August 3, 2005, Rense). U.S. 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

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

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

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.

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.

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,

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.
