Sun Valley Meetings: Annual Entertainment Industry and Silicon Valley Get-Together; Overseeing Allen & Co. Bank has Trilateral Commission origins and CIA and MI6 ties

"There are about 150 people who run the world. Anybody who wants to go into politics; they're all fucking puppets. Okay? There are a 150 and they are all men that run the world. Period. Full stop. They control most of the important assets. They control the money flows. And these are not the tech entrepeneurs. ...



"You get behind the curtain and see how that world works, what you realize is that it is unfairly set up for them and their progneries. Now, I'm not saying that this is something we can rip apart, but [we can try]."

Basic history and structure

The Sun Valley Meetings were founded in Idaho in 1983 by New York investment banker Herbert Allen. The exact location is the Sun Valley Lodge, built by Pilgrims Society member and leading Eastern Establishmentarian Averell Harriman in the 1930s. Since that time, the Lodge and its surroundings regularly served as a meeting place for the most influential businessmen in the West. Allen continued the tradition.

By this time Allen's main client base had begun to consist of Hollywood moguls and various other entertainment industry figures. In contrast to the much more political Bohemian Grove in California, the annual Sun Valley Meetings were not just set up with "rest and relaxation" in mind - but also to make the process of investing and mergers and acquisitions within the entertainment industry run much smoother. This obviously draws the interest of regular, small-time investors as well, which appears to be the main reason why the Sun Valley Meetings have received far above average annual attention by the media than other superclass NGOs. Still, full attendee lists have only been published on two or three occasions. And there has never been anything close to a full analysis of the meetings. Even at the of the writing of this article, the Sun Valley Meeting's Wikipedia page in only about a 1,000 words long.

The first meeting of the Sun Valley in 1983 only drew 35 participants apart from its only speaker: Herbert Allen. [1] This number grew steadily as the location not only turned out to be an excellent networking opportunity, but also could double as a perfect location for a brief getaway with the family. In between presentations, anything from tennis, hiking, biking, kayaking, or golfing is possible at the Sun Valley. This way, family members will always be entertained.

In 2004, Allen reported to have trouble keeping the number of visitors "down to the 300 or so adults who will fit into Sun Valley's main conference room." [2] A full list of participants from 2012 reveals no less than 628 names. [3] That does not include wives and kids, who much of the time will not be part of the main conference, but it seems that the Sun Valley has continued to expand rather rapidly. With the rise of Silicon Valley and the pace of modern technology, maybe this is only to be expected.

Differences with the Bohemian Grove

The Sun Valley is often compared with the Bohemian Grove, although there are many obvious differences. The Sun Valley Meetings:

used to be more exclusive, although this has been changing;

only last 5 days instead of two weeks;

allow the whole family to attend;

don't involve any ancient mythology as the Cremation of Care;

involve far fewer politicians;

put great emphasis on media corporations;

don't have a policy against discussions on politics and business.

Clearly, just about the only parallels between the Bohemian Grove and the Sun Valley Meetings is the concept of an elite summer vacation and the fact that the media is kept at a distance.

Differences with the Forstmann Little Conferences

After more than 90 percent of the important members of the Sun Valley Meetings had been gathered for this article, did this author run into something called the "Forstmann Little Conferences". Considering the author's awareness of Ted Forstmann's friendship with key superclass members and the existence of ISGP's huge NGO oversight, once again it was quite amazing to see just how many of these elite groups exist. And just how little is reported on them.

A lack of media attention certainly is true for the Forstmann Little Conferences. Only local media outlets in Denver and Aspen have discussed these meetings. Founded in 1989, it was annually organized in Aspen, Colorado under the auspices of the Forstmann Little investment bank. Ted Forstmann died in 2011 and it is unknown if meetings have continued since. Based on the handful of media reports that exist on it, the annual conferences are generally described as a more secretive version of the Sun Valley Meetings.

The Forstmann Little Conferences: big media and tech, but also more politics. Visible here are visitors Sir Evelyn de Rothschild, George Shultz, Henry Kissinger and Nelson Mandela.

However, there are significant different between the Sun Valley and Forstmann Little. While attendee lists are far from complete, it looks as if, in contrast to the Sun Valley Meetings, the Forstmann Conferences feature relatively few mass media, Hollywood and Silicon Valley titans. These titans have been present though: Eric Schmidt of Google, Leslie Moonves of Viacom, Michael Eisner of Disney, Michael Ovitz of Hollywood talent agency Creative Artists Agency, Barry Diller of InterActiveCorp and even Herbert Allen - all of the Sun Valley - are all known to have visited Forstmann Little. Also, a number of leading movie directors and/or actors have attended: Kevin Costner of Oliver Stone's JFK, Da Vinci Code creator Ron Howard, Star Wars creator George Lucas, and director Sydney Pollack, a close friend of Herbert Allen who has also been visiting the Sun Valley annually.

That having been said, Forstmann Little Conferences have featured many elite political reporters (ironically employed by Sun Valley media titans), Eastern Establishment elites of the Rockefeller clique, politicians, and a number of third world leaders. This makes sense considering Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, Lady Evelyn de Rothschild, and George Shultz - as well as Disney's Michael Eisner - all were directors of the Forstmann Little bank in the 1990s. They would invite themselves and a lot of their friends and associates, giving Forstmann Little a considerably different, and definitely more politically sensitive character, than the Sun Valley.

On May 12, 2013, one-and-a-half-years after the death of Ted Forstmann, the New York Post reported that Hollywood WME talent agency chief and annual Forstmann Little attendee Ari Emanuel, a notable absentee from Sun Valley Meetings, was working on a replacement of this conference after Forstmann died:

"Ari Emanuel [of WME is] putting together a conference of highfliers. WME has been working closely with Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt to put together the conference with the support of New England Patriots boss Robert Kraft and California philanthropist Eli Broad. ... John Doerr [is a founding member] ... Reps for WME declined comment. Emanuel's new event replaces a slot left vacant last year by Forstmann Little's annual conference because of the death of founder Teddy Forstmann. Notably, Emanuel ... does not attend the Allen & Co. confab in Sun Valley, Idaho."

Nothing has been reported about this new platform since. With the Forstmann Little bank out, it may also have taken on an entirely different character. Looking at the founder, the entertainment industry and Silicon Valley seem to play an important role in it though.

ELITE ORIGINS AND OVERSIGHT



Sun Valley: Trilateral Commission, Coca-Cola and Warren Buffett origins

One thing that has always stumped this author, as well as more than a few journalists writing about the secretive Allen & Co. bank, is just how this bank and the family behind it became such influential power brokers. Ordinarily this is only reserved for individuals who enter the Rockefeller sphere, but, at least on the surface, Allen & Co. is an obscure bank, seemingly with no history of elite ties. Although... when we analyze the founding of the Sun Valley Meetings in 1983 in a bit more detail, one has to reach the conclusion that it actually started life as a spin-off of the powerful Trilateral Commission - founded in 1973 by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski.

October 15, 1978 Trilateral Commission membership list showing Coca-Cola's J. Paul Austin and David Rockefeller.

Without a doubt, Allen & Co. used to be a very insignificant bank. Its major coup was buying Hollywood movie studio Columbia Pictures in 1973 for just $4 per share and, more significantly, selling its share to Coca-Cola in July 1982 for $750 million in both cash and stock. [4] In the process Herbert Allen became a director of Coca-Cola. Because of his existing entertainment industry ties, he became the founder of the Sun Valley Meetings over the following year. Question is: did he do this on behalf of Allen & Co.? Or Coca-Cola? After all, in an unusually revealing 2004 Fortune article, Allen explained that the Coca-Cola deal had been a "watershed" moment for his investment bank:

""It was like you were a parish priest, and the Pope comes along and says you're okay. ... Business poured into Allen simply because it had gained Coke's blessing."



"Herbert Allen was becoming an increasingly influential Coke director... Allen established close ties to the company's CEO, Roberto Goizueta (who died in 1997), and president, Donald Keough, 77. Ultimately Keough, upon his 1993 retirement from Coke, became chairman at Allen & Co. ... Warren Buffett['s] Berkshire Hathaway is the largest owner of Coke [since 1988]." [5]

Guess who was president, chairman and CEO of Coca-Cola from 1962 to 1981? That would be J. Paul Austin, a leading member of the establishment. Austin was trustee chairman of the DOD and Eastern Establishment-linked RAND Corporation from 1972 to 1981, a member of the CFR, and in 1973 one of 60 U.S. founding members of the Trilateral Commission. In fact, Austin is the one who introduced Jimmy Carter to the Trilateral Commission as an ideal candidate for the 1976 presidential elections. Soon after, Carter was placed under the wing of Trilateral Commission founders David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski; the rest is history.

Top: Buffett with Donald Graham at the Sun Valley in 2005 (also with Google CEO and soon-to-be Bilderberg steering committee member Eric Schmidt).

Bottom: Buffett celebrating his 50th birthday in 1980 with Katharine Graham.

Donald Keough, the Coca-Cola president Allen grew so close to, was Austin's preferred candidate to follow him up as chairman and CEO of Coca-Cola. Coincidentally, Keough's "Omaha neighbor and lifelong friend" was Warren Buffett [6], who would buy a controlling stake in Coca-Cola in 1988. Buffett's rise through the establishment ranks can be traced back to him becoming a major investor in the Washington Post in 1973, followed by a directorship (until 2011) at this newspaper in 1974, which lasted until 2014. In this position he became the chief financial advisor to Post owner Katharine Graham, who herself, her family and chief editors - Phil Graham, Donald Graham, Ben Bradlee - all were deeply tied in with either the founding CIA clique or the Trilateral Commission. More about this has been written in the Washington Post section of this article, as this intire clique, including Buffett, also became deeply involved in the Sun Valley.

After becoming an "eminence grise" at the Washington Post, in the 1979-1985 period, Buffett could be found on the board of trustees of the Urban Institute, sitting alongside various leading Rockefeller friends and visitors of the Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg. He became a member of both the CFR and the Alfalfa Club. In 2002 he was part of Lord Jacob Rothschild's secretive European Economic Round Table. In 2009, together with David Rockefeller, he founded the Good Club, which ended up becoming the Giving Pledge. Similarly, in recent decades, Buffett and his family members have been involved in a variety of very progressive, Democrat-globalist NGOs as DAVOS, the Nuclear Threat Initiative, the Clinton Global Initiative, the ONE Campaign and the Eastern Congo Initiative. The family also is a major financier of "liberal CIA" causes through the family's NoVo Foundation and various other foundations.

Present, in addition, were close David Rockefeller friends James Wolfensohn and Paul Volcker, Bono of U2, Nicky Oppenheimer of South Africa's Anglo-American Corporation (and the Sun Valley), Rothschild-allied Russian oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky and two Bush administration advisors.

It should be clear: the multi-billionaire Warren Buffett, despite hailing from faraway Omaha, is part of the elite of the elite. And through the Washington Post it is entirely possibly that he developed CIA ties early on.

Most relevent here is that Buffett has been an annual visitor of the Sun Valley since at least the early 1990s, when newspapers started reporting on the meetings. With that, he has always been the clearest giveaway of some kind of "power behind the throne" at the Sun Valley Meetings. Today we know: it's Trilateral Commission company Coca-Cola. Without Herbert Allen being accepted to that board in mid 1982, there would be no Sun Valley Meetings, at least not under the tutelage of Allen.

As said, Buffett's friend Donald Keough actually was the preferred choice of founding Trilateral and Coca-Cola chairman and CEO J. Paul Austin as his successor. However, having more faith in Roberto Goizueta, Robert Woodruff, the founder of Coca-Cola and otherwise not particularly tied to the globalist elite, overruled Austin. Thus, Keough came to serve as president and COO of Coca-Cola under chairman and CEO Roberto Goizueta (1981-1997).

Apart from the official position of Goizueta, Keough and Allen emerged as the most influential directors of Coca-Cola in the 1980s, in 1988 supplemented with Keough's life-long friend Warren Buffett. Also, from 1985 until its sale by Coca-Cola in 1989, Keough was chairman of Allen's "baby", Columbia Pictures. Even after Keough left Coca-Cola in April 1993, he is known to have remained a dominant force in the company. In fact, after the scrapping of an age limit, Keough rejoined the board of Coca-Cola in 2004, retiring again in 2013. [7] Warren Buffett's influence was partly continued through his son, Howard Buffett, who served on the board of Coca-Cola Enterprises from about the turn of the century. Later, from 2010-2017, "Howie" served on the main board. [8]

From 1993, upon leaving Coca-Cola (a first time), until his death in 2015, Keough was non-executive chairman of Allen & Co. [9], the company organizing the Sun Valley Meetings - which Keough, of course, visited. In the same period, we find Keough's name appearing on Trilateral Commission membership lists, a group whose meetings he attended until mid 2003 and on whose membership lists he was described as "Chairman of the Board, Allen & Company Incorporated". He also was a director of H.J. Heinz Company, named after Bilderberg organizer and very close David Rockefeller friend, H.J. Heinz, II. Finally, Keough served on the board of the Washington Post Company, a first rate national security position; McDonald's and Barry Diller's large IAC/InterActiveCorp.

Looking at the fact that:

Herbert Allen had just joined the board of Coca-Cola in 1982 when he set up the Sun Valley Meetings;

Coca-Cola represented a huge boost in prestige of the Allen & Co. bank;

Coca-Cola was a major Trilateral Commission company through chairman and CEO J. Paul Austin, who brought President Jimmy Carter to the Trilateral Commission;

Coca-Cola president, 1993-2015 Allen & Co. chairman, and 1993-2003 Trilateral Commission member Donald Keough, continually visited the Sun Valley for all these years, alongside his close friends and fellow directors Herbert Allen and Warren Buffett;

former CIA director and October 2007-appointed Allen & Co. managing director George Tenet was invited to the Trilateral Commission in 2008 and stayed a member until at least 2010;

Coca-Cola has also been represented at the Sun Valley though the likes of CEO Roberto Goizueta, later CEO Neville Isdell, chairman and CEO Muhtar Kent, and directors James D. Robinson III, Robert Nardelli, Barry Diller, Bobby Kotick, Ronald Allen and top superclass member Sam Nunn;

and it's quite safe to say that the Sun Valley Meetings actually were created and overseen by Coca-Cola - and essentially served as an off-shoot to the Trilateral Commission. Instead of bringing political, business, banking and think tank elites together, as is the case with the Trilateral Commission, the Sun Valley aims to bring together the most powerful Hollywood, entertainment industry and Silicon Valley elites to one location.

The question is: are the visitors of the Sun Valley Meetings as universally controlled and globalist-oriented as members of the Trilateral Commission? That certainly appears to be the case. From ISGP's article "Liberal CIA": Hollywood, we've already seen how extremely controlled Hollywood stars - part of the entertainment industry - are. In this article we'll demonstrate the same with Silicon Valley. How exactly this control works, that's a good question.

Allen & Co.: Warren Buffett bank with CIA, MI6 and globalist ties

To recap the previous chapter: here we discussed that Warren Buffett's life-long friend and Coca-Cola partner Donald Keough served as non-executive chairman of the Allen & Co. bank from April 1993 until his death in 2015. [10] In addition, from 1993 until mid 2003, Keough was a member of the Trilateral Commission. Combine this with the fact that Herbert Allen didn't set up his Sun Valley Meetings until he and his bank were elevated from obscurity by founding Trilateral Commission company Coca-Cola in 1982 and it should be clear that Herbert Allen and his bank are little more than a front for key globalist interests. We can find evidence for this when looking at various managing directors of the Allen & Co. bank over the years. Lastly, the deep ties of long-time Sun Valley participant Warren Buffett to the Washington Post since 1973 and the deep ties of the Washington Post leadership to both the Trilateral Commission and the founding CIA clique, should not be overlooked.

Bill Bradley at the Sun Valley in 2015.

Managing director of Allen & Co. since 2001 [11], all the way to today [12], is Bill Bradley, a Senator from New Jersey from 1979 to 1997. In 1999 Bradley gave a speech at the Sun Valley, where he was introduced by Herbert Allen, who described Bradley as "his friend of three decades" [13], indicating that their relationship goes back to the 1970s. Hence, it appears to be a friendship that predates the 1982 Coca-Cola deal that gave Allen his starpower and the ability to set up the Sun Valley Conferences. So, what are Bill Bradley's connections apart from his official positions? Let's take a look at ISGP's NGO oversight list and find out:

Almost as an afterthought, Bill Bradley is a very close friend of Star Wars creator and multi-billionaire film director George Lucas. Together they created an extremely manipulative anti-Trump ad in October 2016 meant to portray the president-to-be as eager to use nuclear weapons. That's more noteworthy for Lucas, however, than a veteran politician as Bill Bradley.

Former CIA director George Tenet at the Sun Valley in 2011.

As already briefly mentioned in the previous chapter, in October 2007 Allen & Co. hired George Tenet, Clinton and Bush's CIA director from 1996 to 2004 (thus during the controversial 9/11 event), as one of its managing directors, but, as usual, did not announce this news to the world. Tenet's involvement in Allen & Co. only came out at a later stage through a press release of another company Tenet was involved in. [27] Tenet's appointment to Allen & Co. shouldn't be the biggest surprise in the world, considering Tenet certainly visited the Sun Valley in 2003, 2005 and 2007 to give speeches on national security. Thus he developed a lot of connections here.

Coincidentally, in 2008, months after having been appointed to the Allen & Co. board, Tenet became a member of the Trilateral Commission as well. On a May 2010 membership list Tenet actually is listed as "Managing Director, Allen & Company, New York, NY." The former CIA director did not remain a member of the Trilateral Commission for long though; his name does not appear on an October 2011 or later lists. But Tenet still provided another solid Trilateral Commission link of Allen & Co., apart from Donald Keough in the past, who still served as chairman of Allen & Co. at this point.

Senator Bob Kerrey was appointed a managing director of Allen & Co. in 2014. [28] Kerrey was Democrat governor of Nebraska from 1983 to 1987 and senator from Nebraska from 1989 to 2001. He is very close to Allen & Co. chairman Bill Bradley and even closer to Warren Buffett than Bradley. Kerrey's controversies and superclass connections have included:

Controversial for heading a 7-man Navy Seal unit that murdered two dozen women and children (some by slitting their throat) in Thanh Phong village as part of a CIA operation in 1969. [29]

Tied to money laundering and all-round corruption during his term as governor of Nebraska in 1983-1987. [30]

Certainly by the time of his senatorship, which included a 1992 attempt for the presidency, accused of being "controlled" by a small clique of Omaha businessmen, including two newspaper owners and Warren Buffett. Supposedly, these people "tell Bobby when to open his mouth, and what to say ... acting as a puppet of forces behind the scenes." [31] Kerrey maintains a close friendship and "mentorship" with Warren Buffett and Buffett's family to this day. [32] Buffett automatically brings in Allen & Co chairman Donald Keough, Buffett's close Trilateral Commission friend.

Trustee of the very progressive, but also quite elite Century Foundation. [36]

There's more. Turns out that a senior advisor to Allen & Co., all the way since 1984, has been William vanden Heuvel. [37] Let's see who this person is:

For the longest time, Vanden Heuvel has been suspected of being a CIA operative by individuals such as Bob Feldman who have been looking into Ford Foundation financing. Vanden Heuvel and daughter Katrina certainly are major "liberal CIA" operatives and looking at all the above ties it is hard to see how William vanden Heuvel has not been a lifetime key Eastern Establishment CIA asset - who happens to have historic ties to the top of the mafia and the entertainment industry. Him alone being an advisor since the time that Herbert Allen founded the Sun Valley is indicative of CIA oversight of the Sun Valley Meetings.

"Old friends" Herb Allen "always invites": Bilderbergers, Trilaterals

Speaking of Herb Allen, apart from his friendship with the likes of Warren Buffett and Buffett's Trilateral Commission Omaha neighbor Donald Keough, Allen has a number of "old friends" whom he "always invites" to the Sun Valley and usually sits at the table with. Or sat, because it's been a while. Back in 1999 these friends included director Sydney Pollack and actresses Candice Bergen and Diane Sawyer. [65] Bergen, who used to live at the address where the 1969 Tate / Manson Family murders took place, gives off a "liberal CIA" activist vibe, at least back in the late sixties when she was staging prominent anti-Wall Street protests with Abbie Hoffman. Sawyer used to work at the White House, before becoming a CFR member and a leading anchor at CBS and ABC. Coincidentally, both women dated the controversial Henry Kissinger in their younger years. [66]

November 1, 1973 (founding) Trilateral Commission membership list with Sen. Mondale's name on it. Yes, terrible quality.

That's far from all. Other "old friends" whom Allen "always invites", at least back in 1999 [67], were Tom Brokaw, the Senator Bill Bradley, Senator Walter Mondale, Vernon Jordan, Jr. and Robert Strauss. The disgraced Tom Brokaw is best known as NBC Nightly News anchor from 1982 to 2004, and less well-known as a CFR director. Bradley has been discussed at length. At the time he was vice chairman of the super-elite International Council of David Rockefeller's Chase Manhattan Bank. Having recently been ousted as New Jersey's senator, Bradley was only beginning to get his shoes wet in the elite NGO network.

Senator Walter Mondale was a founding member of David Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission back in 1973 and visited Bilderberg in 1974 and 1981. At the time of the Jimmy Carter administration he, along with Carter's wife, were associated with Jim Jones, leader of the suicidal Jonestown Cult. From 1986 to 1991 he was chair of the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI), later taken over by his then-vice chair, top globalist Madeleine Albright. Over the decades Mondale could be found at the CFR, the Bretton Woods Committee, the RAND Corporation and other places.

Vernon Jordan with Barry Diller at the Sun Valley in 1999.

Vernon Jordan and Robert Strauss have been law partners in Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, LLP from the 1970s until 1999. Strauss went to Bilderberg in 1982, 1989, 1990 and 1992; and was a Trilateral Commission member in the mid to late 1980s. He's connected - but Jordan is bigger. An old black civil rights activist, Jordan has been visiting Bilderberg annually since 1979, joined the steering committee, and today still is quite a regular visitor as a managing director of the elite Lazard Freres bank, a position he has held since January 2000. The law firm he used to share with Strauss, has since been represented at Bilderberg by others. Jordan was a Trilateral Commission member throughout the 1990s and is a past Rockefeller Foundation and Ford Foundation trustee. Back in the 1980s he served on the board of the (liberal) CIA and Rockefeller-tied New World Foundation, along with (chair) Hillary Clinton. Throughout the 1990s, Jordan possibly was the closest advisor of Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Clearly Herb Allen has enjoyed himself some elite company, to the point he comes across as little more than a puppet. He has no significant NGO ties of his own apart from the Sun Valley and the somewhat similar Forstmann Little Conferences.

Allen & Co. summary: globalism, CIA, MI6, Coca-Cola death squads

Despite its small stature and low profile, Allen & Co is solidly under the control of the liberal superclass. So much has been made clear over the past several chapters - and that with plenty of sources. Let's summarize all these ties here. This goes for the bank itself, not for all the "close friends" whom Herb Allen "always invites" to the Sun Valley: Bilderberg and the Trilateral Commission visitors as Vernon Jordan, Robert Strauss, Senator Walter Mondale and others.

Herbert Allen Owner Founded the Sun Valley Meetings in 1982-1983, right after Allen & Co. signed a huge July 1982 Columbia Pictures deal with key Trilateral Commission company Coca-Cola. This deal elevated Allen & Co. from obscurity. Soon Allen became the most influential director of Coca-Cola, along with fellow Sun Valley participants Warren Buffett and Coca-Cola president Donald Keough, Buffett's long-time Omaha friend.

Top British superclass member to be found at the Trilateral Commission, Davos, and the CFR's global advisory panel. Sen. Bob Kerrey Man. dir. '14- For decades a close friend of Warren Buffett, who financed his campaigns. Globalist NGO involvement.

Allen & Company features plenty of other managing directors who do not appear to be relevant at all. Many are rather young and have recently graduated from a major East Coast University who at most have been directors or vice presidents at banks like Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, or Credit Suisse First Boston, with apparently none of them belonging to the CFR or any other important NGO. Thus, it should be clear that none of these individuals play a deciding role in who gets to visit the Sun Valley meetings.

As for the list above, we find a pattern here of not just globalist Eastern Establishment ties through Warren Buffett and the Trilateral Commission, but also to intelligence through the CIA (two times), OSS Society and Hakluyt (two times). This last company was founded in 1995 as a collaboration between MI6 and oil companies Shell and BP. In the late 1990s, Hakluyt drew controversy for infiltrating environmental groups as Greenpeace and undermining its activism against Shell and BP. The Body Shop, a human rights-oriented cosmetics company later involved in the Clinton Global Initiative, was also targeted by Hakluyt on behalf of these companies. [67] These days Hakluyt counts many dozens of top multinationals among its clientele, many of their operations dealing with figuring out whether Russian and Chinese business partners can be trusted, or who key decision makers are in Third World countries. In that sense, the company serves an important role. A main worry is the extent of "deniable operations" - as British intelligence insiders put it [68] - Hakluyt might be performing on behalf of western security services. Anything is possible really at the globalist level. At least in the past, Hakluyt used to have an extremely underreported partnership with Kissinger Associates. [69] Stacked with Clinton and Obama loyalists, Hakluyt also played a key role in opening the politically-motivated Trump-Russia dossier. [70] Thus, even apart from all its international company officers, Hakluyt's allegiance to the globalist cause is unmistaken. And its rather strong ties to Allen & Co., coincidentally with a similar history of secrecy as Kissinger Associates and Hakluyt, is worrying.

Just as worrying and not mentioned until now is that Coca-Cola, the Trilateral Commission and Warren Buffett company that gave Allen & Co. the ability to set up the Sun Valley Conferences and remains a strong presence here to this day, was sued in 2001 for waging "a campaign of terror, using paramilitaries to kill, torture and kidnap union leaders in Colombia." Apparently these operations went on throughout the 1990s. [71] CEO of Coca-Cola from 2000 to 2004, during the time that the allegations surfaced, was Douglas Daft, a member of the Trilateral Commission who was taking policy advice from Warren Buffett, including in July 2002 while both men were visiting the Sun Valley.

Coca-Cola denied, but the accusations kept rumbling over the years. Much of the relevant information can be found on killercoke.org: the Campaign to Stop Killer Coke, launched in 2003. In September 2016 new hearings were held in Colombia with family members of the victims, in which Coca-Cola was named among 50 U.S. and Colombian corporations that used to finance the 1997-2004 paramilitary organization Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia / United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC). British Petroleum (BP) and Chiquita, formerly known as United Fruit, are two other corporations accused, with Chiquita already having admitted to financing the AUC to the tune of $1.7 million. [72] BP ties back to the 1953 CIA-MI6 coup against Mohammad Mossadeq, bringing the Shah of Iran to power. Chiquita, as United Fruit, helped fund the 1954 coup against the equally socialist and nationalist inclined Jacobo Arbenz, who was replaced by a murderous military dictator.

We can go in a lot of detail, but the fact is that the AUC was doing the bidding of the CIA, both in anti-FARC operations as in all the accusations of CIA drug trafficking operations. In addition, in 2008, the leadership of the AUC, whose testimonies are considered crucial in figuring out the details of said corporate financing [73], was whisked to the United States and given extremely lenient sentences, followed by asylum offers, this despite being wanted for widespread torture, murder and disappearances back in Colombia. [74]

Fascinatingly, the right-wing Alvaro Uribe, Colombia's president from 2002 to 2010 who worked with the CIA and allowed the AUC leadership to be whisked out of the country under the cloak of darkness, later was invited to the board of News Corporation, the ultraconservative news outlet, which for decades has been represented at the liberal Sun Valley Meetings by Rupert Murdoch and sons.

Without judging the situation on the ground in Colombia too much, one assumes that the rather organized big business policy of financing the right-wing, murderous Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia (AUC) would not have taken place without at least the quiet approval of the CIA, or elements tied to the CIA. It certainly wouldn't be the first time that the CIA and multinationals have been cooperating in trying to undermine "anti-communist" interests. United Fruit, ITT, Freeport Minerals and Anaconda Copper are four such companies discussed in ISGP's Pilgrims Society article in the chapter titled Early CIA ties, "the Company" and corporate coups. This same chapter mentions the prominent role of David Rockefeller in aiding the CIA-backed coup of Pinochet in Chile in 1973. Similar to Buffett and Coca-Cola, the Rockefeller foundations actually have largely been occupied with funding social justice-type, "new left", "liberal CIA" NGOs over the decades. In that sense, Coca-Cola's duplicitous "left-right" funding wouldn't be that unique.

All the ties discussed here, both of Allen & Co. and the strongly overlapping Coca-Cola Corporation, are strongly indicative of the Sun Valley Meetings being overseen by the "Globalist Intelligence Agency" (GIA), a term the author first introduces here to describe the combination of globalist business interests and privatized CIA and other intelligence operations ran through them. It is highly unlikely that anything not sanctioned by "GIA" is invited to these Sun Valley Meetings, unless maybe the goal is to buy up up-and-coming IT or entertainment companies.

Also, Herbert Allen essentially serves as a front man for these globalist interests. By himself, he is nobody interesting. He has pretty much zero major, direct ties to the globalist NGO network - but a lot of his friends and the persons he has brought together at his Allen & Co. bank and annual conferences do. We'll dig deeper into that in the following chapters.

INDIVIDUALS AND INTERESTS REPRESENTED AT THE SUN VALLEY



Sun Valley and tech industry changes changes: 2005-2019

The original ISGP article on the Sun Valley Meetings here was published on May 27, 2005. At the time the conclusion was reached that this annual meeting most likely wasn't too significant. This was based on the fact that there really aren't a lot of major Eastern Establishment or CIA figures gathering at these meetings, meaning there aren't that many ties to the CFR, Bilderberg, and the Trilateral Commission - and certainly no conservative think tanks. Also, the meetings are very visible and well-known in comparison to so many other superclass gatherings. Thus, the conclusion became: not too interesting to focus on.

Now, 14 years later, this conclusion has to be revised. First of all, Allen & Co., the organizing agency behind the Sun Valley Meetings, does have plenty of these globalist and CIA ties. This aspect is discussed in the previous set of chapters.

All Sun Valley companies that did not exist yet, or still were insignificant, when ISGP's initial May 27, 2005 Sun Valley article was published.

Secondly, back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Sun Valley Meetings still were dominated by Hollywood and the rest of the entertainment industry. However, illegal file sharing and websites as YouTube continued to take money out of the music industry throughout the 2000s and 2010s. Hollywood has become less influential as well, in part due to illegal file sharing, but also due to other forms of home cinema: from widescreen televisions becoming affordable to miniseries - with high quality special effects - being increasingly popular, many of them created and online distributed by the likes of Netflix.

Meanwhile, Silicon Valley, a reference to a cluster of leading IT companies situated in the southern San Francisco Bay Area, has exploded in significance. Back in 2005, the main Silicon Valley giants were Microsoft and Google. Google Video and YouTube were both launched in early 2005, months before the publication of ISGP's original Sun Valley Meetings article. At the time, these services still were hardly known to the public and were a far cry from offering HD quality. Modern smartphones didn't exist yet and thus Silicon Valley giant Apple hadn't yet revived its image - which it did starting in 2007 with the first Iphone.

Today's giant Reddit forum first went live in June 2005, weeks after ISGP's original Sun Valley article. Social media still was in its infancy at this point, with Facebook not being born until 2006 and Instagram not until 2010. Whatsapp only was released in 2009. Lodging marketplace Airbnb wasn't released until 2008; Taxi service Uber not until 2009. Spotify was launched in 2006, but didn't receive worldwide fame until the mid 2010s. The first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, was developed in 2009. Only over the course of 2017 did cryptocurrencies start to receive worldwide fame among investors, although its full potential has not yet been recognized by the masses even in 2019.

It should be clear: a lot has changed since 2005. What also has changed is online censorship. But a bit more on that later.

Sun Valley-represented media conglomerates and companies

At the moment of this writing, roughly 254 important participants have been included, complete with biographies, in ISGP's Sun Valley Meetings historic membership lists. Below the reader can see a list of companies these people control. Many additional names can be added if one starts looking for ordinary directorships, but the companies below have been represented by a founder, chairman, CEO, president, or majority shareholder.

Core membership and categories of visitors

Considering only a handful of Silicon Valley giants and entertainment conglomerates dominate the market, if only the absolute top CEOs and owners of Sun Valley corporations would be invited to the event, there wouldn't be very many attendants at all. Fact is, second-in-commands or division chiefs within the larger conglomerates also visit continually. Whoever has a certain required expertise or the authority to make certain deals, will be invited.

Analyzing the compiled biographies of 254 Sun Valley Meetings participants since the early 1990s, plus, more superficially, various full membership lists, it appears that Sun Valley visitors, roughly in order of importance, consist of the following:

Whoever is presently relevant in tech, from promising start-ups to the famous Silicon Valley giants : The most recognizable and/or long-term visitors include Paul Allen and Bill Gates of Microsoft, Sergey Brin and Eric Schmidt of Google, Brin's wife and sister-in-law Anne and Susan Wojcicki of Google-owned YouTube and 23andMe, Jerry Yang and Terry Semel of Yahoo!, Steve Jobs and Tim Cook of Apple, Jeff Bezos of Amazon and the Blue Origin space company, Reed Hastings of Netflix, Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp; Jack Dorsey of Twitter, Reid Hoffman of LinkedIn (and previously Paypal), Elon Musk of Tesla and SpaceX.



Important names too are Alex Karp and Peter Thiel of the CIA and DOD-tied Palantir Technologies, with Thiel being a co-founder of PayPal. As of this writing, both Karp and Thiel are Bilderberg steering committee members, as is Google CEO Eric Schmidt. [75] Reid Hoffman, an old partner of Thiel in PayPal, started to annually visit Bilderberg in 2011, four years after Thiel and Schmidt.

Chiefs and managers of the "Big Five" media conglomerates - Disney (ABC)/Fox, Comcast (NBCUniversal), General Electric, Viacom (CBS) and AT&T: WarnerMedia (CNN) - and their countless subsidiaries, as well as a number of foreign counterparts, such from Sony, Vivendi and Bertelsmann : Sumner Redstone and proteges Leslie Moonves and Philippe Dauman of Viacom (CBS); and Brian Roberts , the son of Comcast (NBCUniversal) founder Ralph Roberts (visited), have been among the long-time visitors. So have various Disney leaders, which will be listed later in this oversight. Rupert Murdoch and sons have been mainstays since the 1990s, one of many indications that they are not nearly as conservative as the Fox News network they have controlled for so long.



Back in the 1990s Trilateral Commission member Gerald Levin of Time Warner was a regular. Jeff Immelt , chairman and CEO of General Electric (ABC) from 2000 to 2017, visited occasionally over the years. In addition, tons of (media) division chiefs - such as Jeff Zucker , CEO of NBCUniversal 2007-10 and then president of CNN Worldwide from 2013 - or shorter-ruling CEOs of these "Big Five" have been visiting the Sun Valley over the years.



Latin-American superclass billionaire Gustavo Cisneros ('11, '12) has also attended. Cisneros belonged to the 1001 Club, visited Bilderberg, sat on the CFR's global advisory panel, and has been one of David Rockefeller's closest friends and allies, certainly in Latin America.

Smaller, still "independent" media outlets: Representatives of media not owned by the "Big Five" nor part of Silicon Valley include John Hendricks and David Zadlav of Discovery, Inc. which controls the Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and the Travel Channel. Another is John Malone of Liberty Media and also of Discovery, Inc. Despite being huge, Liberty Media does not fall into the "Big Five" category.

Another is of Liberty Media and also of Discovery, Inc. Despite being huge, Liberty Media does not fall into the "Big Five" category.

Hollywood moguls, whose corporations these days are almost exclusively part of the afore-mentioned wider media conglomerates : The most recognizable old guard names include Jack Valenti of the MPAA, a Lew Wasserman protege; Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen , formerly of DreamWorks (and also Disney and Geffen Records); Michael Eisner and his protege Bob Iger of Disney; and Michael Ovitz of artist agency CAA. Edgar Bronfman, Jr. used to be a big name around the turn of the century when his family owned MCA for a number of years.

Venture capital firms and wealthy individual investors : The largest venture capital firms at the Sun Valley are the likes of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts - visitor Henry Kravis is a major Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg-linked member, along with his wife - and Bain Capital. Back in 1999 and around the time of the Dot Com bubble, Stanley Druckenmiller , then lead portfolio manager of George Soros' Quantum Fund was attending.



Specifically for Silicon Valley there are venture capitalists as Marc Andreessen (co-founder Netscape in 1994) and Ben Horowitz of Andreessen Horowitz, a firm that invested early in top Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange Coinbase; and Sam Altman of Y Combinator and Reddit, also an early investor in Airbnb (a Y Combinator client) and Spotify.



As for the wealthy independent investors, the billionaire husband of Salma Hayek , Francois-Henri Pinault , is one. The mysterious Aviv Nevo is another. Stanley Druckenmiller is still around. Most curious is probably billionaire Bilderberg executive committee member Peter Thiel . Thiel is a co-founder of PayPal, financed the creation of Ethereum, was the first to finance Facebook and Spotify, and has many other peculiar ties, including to the CIA and DOD through his Palantir firm.



Various individuals likely looking to invest or make occasional media-related deals have included elites as Jonathan Oppenheimer ('11) of the mining family behind Anglo-American Corporation and De Beers - and involved in the 1001 Club; Bilderberg steering committee member John Elkann ('11, '12), grandson and heir to Bilderberg steering committee member Gianni Agnelli of Fiat; and Andre Desmarais ('12, '13) of the Rockefeller-allied Trilateral Commission family behind Canada's huge Power Corporation. Billionaire Trilateral Commission visitor Michael Bloomberg is an occasional visitor since at least 1999, and is likely to be present both as an investor and former New York City mayor.

Sports representatives or maybe just "other" : NBA, NFL and MLB commissioners are a major example of sports representatives at the Sun Valley. There are also occasional visitors as the Black Lives Matter-allied basketball star LeBron James ('09). One could throw all sports, along with non-tech and non-audio/video companies, in the same "other" category, such as Philip Knight of Nike - or even Coca-Cola. There are not too many corporations like this. Sun Valley regular Bobby Kotick , a past director of Yahoo! and Coca-Cola, but since 2008 predominantly the CEO of computer game company Activision Blizzard, might also be labeled under "other".

One-time or occasional visitors : Apart from people who tag along or incidentally have some business to discuss, the best-known names in this category often are politics-related. Names that come to mind include J. Gordon Brown ('98), nine years before becoming British prime minister; Rothschild-allied anti-Putin oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky (reportedly in '03), anti-neocon Israeli security state representative Martin Indyk ('09, '11, '12), Obama secretary of state John Kerry ('14), Libertarian politician Rand Paul ('14, spotted with Peter Thiel) and Ivanka Trump ('17), daughter of Donald Trump, by then despised by the entirety of the liberal elite.



Various actors have attended as well, from Morgan Freeman ('05) to the super-globalist Ashton Kutcher ('09, '11) - but usually have specific business to discuss.

Allen & Co. and old Coca-Cola leadership, which forms the founding and overseeing clique of the Sun Valley : Key individuals here, apart from Herbert Allen, are directors of Trilateral Commission company Coca-Cola, such as Donald Keough (Allen & Co. chair), his old Omaha neighbor Warren Buffett and at least half a dozen more. Allen & Co. advisors and officers include elite "liberal CIA" asset William vanden Heuvel ; top superclass member Niall FitzGerald , who came in as a Reuters chairman; former CIA director George Tenet , and senators Bill Bradley and Bob Kerrey .

Herb Allen's "old friends" : Overlaps with the above category. Until at least 1999, key Clinton couple advisor, past Rockefeller and Ford Foundation trustee, Bilderberg steering committee member and Trilateral Commission member Vernon Jordan, Jr. (a rare black person in these circles) was among the individuals Allen "always invites because they're old friends." Fellow superclass member and law partner Robert Strauss , news anchor and CFR director Tom Brokaw , founding Trilateral Commission senator Walter Mondale , and future Allen & Co. senator Bill Bradley , then a vice chair of David Rockefeller's International Council of Chase Manhattan Bank, were others mentioned in the same breath. Also listed were former Henry Kissinger girlfriends Diane Sawyer and Candice Bergen .

A handful of media owners, journalists and news anchors : Mathias Dophner of Axel Springer, the owner of Business Insider and a Bilderberg steering committee member, is a known visitor. Elite-favored news anchors as Tom Brokaw - mentioned before - and the disgraced Charlie Rose - a past Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg and Pilgrims Society member - led various panels for many years. Washington Post owner Katharine Graham and her son, Donald Graham, were/are known to be close friends of Warren Buffett, as are many regular Sun Valley participants. [76] For obvious reasons, only a handful of small-time journalists of the most trusted publications have been allowed at the conference.

Singling out the Bilderbergers and Trilaterals

It should be clear by now that more than a few Sun Valley participants are, or have been, members of Bilderberg and Trilateral Commission. A list of these names has been organized below. Keep in mind that Trilateral Commission dates can be off by a year, very occasionally two, because of gaps in membership lists available to this author and because it's generally impossible to tell too specifically when exactly a person joined or left. For example, if you have a list of August 2008 and May 2009, it's impossible to say if someone joined or left in late 2008 or early 2009.

Sen. Walter Mondale, a "close friend" of Herbert Allen: Founding Trilateral Commission member in 1973. Bilderberg 1974 and 1981. Vernon Jordan, a "close friend" of Herbert Allen: Bilderberg annually since 1979, joined the steering committee, and today still is quite a regular visitor. His law firm has also been represented at Bilderberg by others. Trilateral Commission throughout the 1990s. Past Rockefeller Foundation and Ford Foundation trustee. Robert Strauss, a "close friend" of Herbert Allen: Vernon Jordan's long-time law partner. Bilderberg 1982, 1989, 1990, 1992. Trilateral Commission member in the mid to late 1980s. C. Michael Armstrong of AT&T and later Comcast: Trilateral Commission member overlapping with his time as AT&T chairman and CEO 1997-2002. Also CFR and Alfalfa, as various others here. Henry and Marie-Josee Kravis, arguably the Sun Valley's leading power couple. Certainly Henry Kravis visits often. Henry Kravis of KKR: Bilderberg annually since 1992. Trilateral Commission member. Marie Josee Kravis: Trilateral Commission throughout the 1990s. Bilderberg annually since 1992 and immediate steering committee - to the present day. President of American Friends of Bilderberg Inc. Trilateral Commission member. Vice chair and decades-long leading light in the neocon American Enterprise Institute, along with Dick Cheney. Eric Schmidt of Google: Bilderberg annually since 2007; steering committee. Member of the Trilateral Commission from at least 2015. Peter Thiel of Palantir, PayPal and Facebook: Bilderberg annually since 2007; steering committee. Alex Karp of Palantir: Bilderberg annually since 2012; steering committee. Reid Hoffman of LinkedIn, PayPal and later Microsoft: Bilderberg annually since 2011. John Elkann, heir to top globalist Gianni Agnelli (Fiat): Bilderberg annually since 2005; steering committee. Trilateral Commission member from about 2010 to 2016. Andre Desmarais of Power Corporation: Trilateral Commission member since at least 1998, following up his father, Paul Desmarais, Sr. His father visited Bilderberg in 1982. His brother, Paul, Jr., visited Bilderberg in 2006 and 2008. The family is top superclass and were close David Rockefeller allies. Mathias Dophner of Axel Springer (Business Insider, etc.): Bilderberg annually 2005-2007 and again since 2014; steering committee. Katharine Graham of the Washington Post: Bilderberg 1988, 1990, 1991, 1994. Trilateral Commission member from about 1990 to about 1996. Donald Graham of the Washington Post: Bilderberg 2001, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012. Trilateral Commission member from roughly 2003-2017. Charlie Rose of the Charlie Rose Show: Bilderberg 2002, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012. Trilateral Commission member from the mid 2000 to 2011. Member Pilgrims Society. Niall FitzGerald of Allen & Co., Hakluyt, Reuters, etc.: Briefly a Trilateral Commission member at the turn of the century. Sen. Bill Bradley of Allen & Co. and Hakluyt: Bilderberg in 1985. Close David Rockefeller ally. Donald Keough of Coca-Cola and Allen & Co.: Trilateral Commission 1993-2003. Warren Buffett neighbor and friend. George Tenet of Allen & Co.: Trilateral Commission 2008-2010. 9/11's CIA director. Gerald Levin of Time Warner: Trilateral Commission 1995-2008. William Esrey of Sprint and United Telecom: Bilderberg 1989, 1990, 1992. Member Trilateral Commission in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Gustavo Cisneros: Bilderberg 2010. Long-time close David Rockefeller ally at the CFR, MoMa, the 1001 Club, Chase Manhattan and other places. Also at the Clinton Global Initiative for 2006, 2007 and 2010. Fernando Rodes Vila of ad and PR company Haves: Spanish member of the Trilateral Commission 2011-2016. J. Gordon Brown, one-time Sun Valley visitor: Bilderberg 1991. John Kerry, one-time Sun Valley visitor: Bilderberg 2012. In-law of past key Bilderberg steering committee H.J. Heinz, II, a close David Rockefeller ally.

In addition, a 2015 list of the Trilateral Commission reads: "Marne Levine, Chief Operating Officer, Instagram, Menlo Park." On a January 2017 list, which still includes Levine, we find: "Joseph K. Hurd, III, Director, Emerging Business, Facebook, Menlo Park." Both men can also be found on lists from 2018.

It should be clear that there has been major overlap among leading Sun Valley participants with Bilderberg and the Trilateral Commission. These groups are situated at the core of the globalist movement - and arguably also privatized CIA operations - and these days clearly consist of more than just bankers, industrialists and diplomats. They move along with the times and are very aware of what is happening in the entertainment industry and Silicon Valley.

CONTROVERSY



Open Borders propaganda by all key Sun Valley visitors

Looking at the overlap between upper-tier Sun Valley participants with Bilderberg, the Trilateral Commission and the globalist movement in general and all of a sudden it's not so strange to see that so many of these Sun Valley participants are raging Third World immigration propagandists. Considering these people control just about the entirety of Silicon Valley (i.e., social media, operating systems and search engines), Hollywood, TV stations and the recording industry, this is a huge problem. ISGP has run into a variety of examples of this unified control. Let's turn this too into a point summary:

Apart from tinkering with its algorithm (and censoring ISGP), Google was actively helping Hillary Clinton, who received just 37% of the white vote, get elected by exclusively driving Latino voters to the polls. [77] It didn't work. On November 11, 2016, three days after the Trump election, Google held an extensive "Thank God It's Friday" meeting. Labeled "Confidential - Internal Only", a copy of the video was leaked to Breitbart and made available in September 2018. [78]



F.l.t.r.: Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Google founders; VP of "People Operations" Eileen Naughton, CEO Sundar Pichai, CFO Ruth Porat, and CLO and VP of Global Affairs Kent Walker, every single one a cookie-cutter pro-Third World immigration globalist. They all come across as submissive employees.

Page and Brin have visited the Sun Valley, along with Bilderberg steering committee member Eric Schmidt, these days the CEO of Google's holding company, Alphabet, Inc. In the video, Google founder Sergey Brin looks like he hasn't slept in days while his CEO, CFO and the vice president of "People Operations" are virtually breaking out in tears while addressing the immigration issue. Despite superficial claims to the contrary, it is very, very clear that anti-globalist opinion absolutely is not allowed at Google. Even when during the second half of the meeting questions are allowed from employees, it is noteworthy to mention that the first employee to do so is an activist from "Lesbians Who Tech". A quick check reveals that this is a major Silicon Valley NGO financed by Google itself, as well as the CIA, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Nike, Amazon, Microsoft, and various additional Sun Valley corporations. Putting spokespersons for these groups at the front of internal Q&A's is quite the convenient way to additionally stifle dissent.



An extensive transcript of this video has specifically been created for this article, because it clearly demonstrates just how cult-like working conditions at Google are:

Google founder Sergey Brin: "OK folks, I know this is probably not the most joyous TGIF [Thank God It's Friday meeting] we've had. Let's face it, most people here are pretty upset and pretty sad because of the election. BUT... there is another group that we should also think about - who are very excited about the legalization of pot [as per George Soros' agenda] [laughter]. ...

But on a more serious note, as myself, as an immigrant, a refugee, I certainly find this election deeply offensive. And I know many of you do too. And I think this is a very stressful time and it conflicts with many of our values. I think it's a good time to reflect on that and hopefully we are going to share some thoughts on that today.

I guess there are two dominant reasons to be upset: one is that apparently so many people don't share many of the values that we have. I guess we have known that for many months now. ... And secondly, confronting the reality of an administration that is now forming and we have no idea what it is going to do is the honest truth. ...

It's uncertain for many of us here, especially for immigrants or minorities - women. So I don't have great answers for you up here today, but it's important that we chat about it and are thoughtful about it in the coming months. And with that, Sundar."

Google CEO Sundar Pichai: "I'm glad we are getting together at a moment like this. ... You have a lot of polarization. It's a deeply divided country. ... I think we can all agree that this election was particularly hard. There was a lot of rhetoric. And there were a lot of groups targeted. ... There is a lot of fear within Google. We have a lot of females. ... There are a lot of people who are very afraid. And as Sergey pointed out, women, blacks, [people with immigration] status, [the] LGBTQ community and I can go on. There is a lot of fear. So I think it is important to be aware of that fear and reach out. I would be sensitive and try and have conversations... Nothing will change. We will always stand up [at Google] for the values we believe in. And especially in our society, you stand up for the people who are minorities. That's what defines a society and we will continue to do that. [pretends to become teary-eyed; a loud applause follows]"

Google VP of Global Operations Kent Walker: "So it was a shock to all of us, the results of the election. ... It showed an incredible level of division... What can we do to reach out to people whose perspective we've a hard time understanding? ... This is not the first time we've seen this rising tide of nationalism, populism, and concern. ... Not just Brexit, but new parties coming onto the scene. We've seen it through Germany, France; Italy has a referendum next month. ... Globalization, immigration, and you are afraid, and you are trying to look for answers. And that fear ... is fueling xenophobia [and] hatred... It's fueling a distrust of experts and a disregard of traditional institutions. And we are trying to figure out: how do we respond to that? What are the next steps for us before the world comes into this environment of tribalism that is self-destructive? ... There are cycles of these things that can often last 5, 10 years [the Nazis and World War II?] before people feel they've had a chance to vent that anger [with a Holocaust and 80 million dead?]. ...

Prime minister Matteo Renzi in Italy talks about two worlds: the world of the wall and the world of the square. The world of the wall, the world of the fortress, the world of the silo - isolation and defensiveness - and the world of the square, the piazza, the market place, where people come together in a community and enrich each other's lives. The tools that we build help people come into the world of the square. ...

We need to be able to work together. We need to have each other's back. We need to stand together in a time that is going to be incredibly difficult. As we advocate for our values. ... And let me turn it over to first [CFO] Ruth [Porat] and then [VP] Eileen [Naughton] about how we internally can continue this work of building bridges."

Google CFO Ruth Porat: "So, for what it's worth, I've been a very long-time Hillary [Clinton] supporter. But, as Ken said, I very much respect the outcome of the Democratic process. [Now looks like she is about to cry] I wanna take you back to 8:30 p.m., Tuesday night. I was at home with friends and family watching the election returns, and as we started to see the direction of the voting I reached out to someone close to me who was at the Javits Center, where the big celebration was supposed to occur in New York City, somebody who had been working on the campaign. ... I got back a very sad, short text that read, "People are leaving. Staff is crying. We are gonna lose." Phoeh! [Virtually starts crying] That was the first moment I really felt we were gonna lose. And it was this massive kick in the gut... It was really painful. ...

My father was a refugee to this country ... because you would never be discriminated against... Hillary said, "We are a great country, because we are a good country." And I firmly believe that. [Another Hillary Clinton quote.] A lot of people clearly felt disenfranchised, left out..."

Google VP of People Operations Eileen Naughton: "[Virtually crying:] I've seen so many instances and examples of Googliness in the last two days. The hugs is one. I have seen open and heartfelt communications. I feel people feel safe sharing their thoughts. ... I see Googlers show up for each other. Spontaneous groups. Employee resource groups holding sessions. ... Tips for how to get through hard times. ... Let's internalize the kindness and keep it with us. ...

I've seen this trying to intellectualize and understand the election results, much this year as Googlers earlier this year, when I was in London, tried to understand the vote of the British people to exit the European Union [Brexit]. "

was actively helping Hillary Clinton, who received just 37% of the white vote, get elected by exclusively driving Latino voters to the polls. [77] It didn't work. On November 11, 2016, three days after the Trump election, Google held an extensive "Thank God It's Friday" meeting. Labeled "Confidential - Internal Only", a copy of the video was leaked to Breitbart and made available in September 2018. [78] In the video, Google founder Sergey Brin looks like he hasn't slept in days while his CEO, CFO and the vice president of "People Operations" are virtually breaking out in tears while addressing the immigration issue. Despite superficial claims to the contrary, it is very, very clear that anti-globalist opinion absolutely is not allowed at Google. Even when during the second half of the meeting questions are allowed from employees, it is noteworthy to mention that the first employee to do so is an activist from "Lesbians Who Tech". A quick check reveals that this is a major Silicon Valley NGO financed by Google itself, as well as the CIA, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Nike, Amazon, Microsoft, and various additional Sun Valley corporations. Putting spokespersons for these groups at the front of internal Q&A's is quite the convenient way to additionally stifle dissent. An extensive transcript of this video has specifically been created for this article, because it clearly demonstrates just how cult-like working conditions at Google are:

As the reader can see, the situation at Google is rather extreme. The passive-aggressiveness towards anything non-globalist-Democrat is absolutely terrifying. The Google leadership is literally telling its employees: "You can vote for whomever you want, but WE are ALL massively distraught about Hillary's loss and anything Trump stands for is xenophobic, racist and hateful. But yeah, you can feel safe sharing your thoughts." Would you? Unlikely. Even as Democrat supporter, you should have the feeling, "I need to get out of here. Fast."

Alex Karp on Trump and at the Sun Valley. Turns out, it's the exact same climate over at the CIA and DOD-tied Silicon Valley firm Palantir. Coincidentally, Palantir was founded by two Bilderberg steering committee members - both also Sun Valley participants: Peter Thiel and Alex Karp. Thiel pretends to be a supporter of Donald Trump, but has all the hallmarks of a top controlled opposition asset. Alex Karp, on the other hand, is the usual cookie-cutter globalist. In a leaked video tape Palantir CEO Alex Karp was seen addressing his company staff in virtually the same way as was going on at Google. This video already leaked in April 2017 and dates back to late 2015, when Trump had just arrived on the scene as the dominant Republican candidate: "This is off the record, but like, I respect nothing about the dude [Trump]. ... It would be hard to make up someone I find less appealing. ... So you inherit $50 million in the '70s, and you ... have $20 billion now. ... That's not a good return! ... [He's] a bully... In any case, I don't care if you guys vote for him. ...



"We should throw out all immigrants [Trump says]. Who's gonna do the work? It's like, it makes no sense. [He] is bringing up the worst that a society can bring up, which is like, blame the people that work really hard and that we need and that are coming here at the risk of their life - instead of the [racist] dysfunction that you may have helped create. Why is that person so successful? [But] I don't care if you guys vote for him." [79]

Manchurian Mark giving his "inward nations" speech. The same type of repressive climate to be found at Google and Palantir is notoriously present at Facebook - and with that Instagram and Whatsapp , all owned by Caligula look-alike, mega-billionaire Mark Zuckerberg - who also happens to be a frequent visitor of Sun Valley, alongside quite a few additional Facebook executives. Of these, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg probably has been developing the largest number of globalist connections. This makes sense, considering she is a protege of top superclass member Larry Summers.

In December 2015, after the Paris Bombings, Zuckerberg spoke out against Trump's proposed Muslim immigration ban, writing on his Facebook, "As a Jew, my parents taught me that we must stand up against attacks on all communities. ... You are always welcome ... and [we will] create a peaceful and safe environment for you." [80]

In February 2016 Zuckerberg made the news after internal dissent about the Facebook's promotion of the Soros and Ford Foundation-financed group Black Lives Matter. Employees repeatedly crossed out the word "black" and replaced it with "all", despite Zuckerberg and fellow officers expressly forbidding this. Zuckerberg labeled the actions "malicious" . [81]

Two months months later a speech of Zuckerberg was discussed by the Washington Post and other outlets, in which Zuckerberg could be heard saying: "As I travel around the world, I'm starting to see people and nations turning inward against this idea of a connected world and a global community. I hear fearful voices for building walls and distancing people they label as others. For blocking free expression, for reducing immigration, for slowing trade, and in some cases around the world even for cutting access to the internet. It takes courage to take hope over fear..." [82]

- and with that and , all owned by Caligula look-alike, mega-billionaire Mark Zuckerberg - who also happens to be a frequent visitor of Sun Valley, alongside quite a few additional Facebook executives. Of these, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg probably has been developing the largest number of globalist connections. This makes sense, considering she is a protege of top superclass member Larry Summers.

In 2013 Mark Zuckerberg was a co-founder of pro-Third World immigration propaganda group FWD.us, together with Microsoft founder Bill Gates, long-time Peter Thiel advisor Sean Parker, Bilderberg regular and LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, and "angel investor" (in Reddit and the like) Ron Conway. Among the "Major Contributors" of FWD.us are listed: Google CEO and Bilderberg steering committee member Eric Schmidt, Airbnb founder Brian Chesky, media boss and Coca-Cola director Barry Diller, Stanley Druckenmiller, the former lead investor of Soros' Quantum Fund; Y Combinator founder and key Reddit co-founder Paul Graham, and Netflix founder Reed Hastings. [83]



What do these individuals of FWD.us have in common? Well, apart from their Silicon Valley involvement, they are all visitors of the Sun Valley Meetings. Sean Parker actually may be the only exception here, although his (former, long-time) boss, Peter Thiel, most certainly is a visitor of the Sun Valley.



Needless to say, whether Republican or Democrat-oriented, all these individuals are rabidly pro-open borders and anti-Trump. So, by the way, is later Y Combinator president and Reddit director Sam Altman. But more on Reddit later.

We can go into a lot of additional detail here, but it should be clear that in Silicon Valley or even the much wider Sun Valley Meetings, dissent from the globalist line is not appreciated. Far more scary is that the exact same globalist rhetoric and buzzwords can be heard wherever one goes. For example, also among Hollywood actors and a great many musicians, almost like some bigger organizing force is briefing all these CEOs and their minions exactly on what to say whenever they decide to open their mouth.

The buzzwords literally are everywhere. Also at Apple. On December 3, 2018 Apple CEO and Nike director Tim Cook, the protege of the almost worshipped Steve Jobs (both have visited the Sun Valley), gave an award acceptance speech to the Anti-Defamation League. In his speech he bombastically said:

"We only have one message for those who seek to push hate, division, and violence: you have no place on our platform. [Loud applause] We have always prohibited music with a message of white supremacy. Why? Because it is the right thing to do? And as we showed this year, we won't give a give a platform to violent conspiracy theorists on the app store."

What does this even mean? Most likely it's a reference to the army of online Nazi conspiracy disinformation trolls, who fall under the "conservative CIA" umbrella and exist for the express purpose of associating conspiracy research with bogus and "hateful" propaganda. If I were asked to appear in front of the Anti-Defamation League, I would just say that I don't agree with Holocaust denial and Naziism, but I won't censor all of it. Why? Because the only reason that this type of propaganda is out-of-control is because of the activity of government trolls drawing massive attention to it. Of course, pretty much no one prominent has ever uttered that rather obvious opinion.

Anyway, what I primarily am indicating with this is that I'm a person. An actual person. All these top CEOs, or even countless actors and musicians, do not come across as real persons. The second the subject of Third World immigration comes up, their personality becomes zombie-like and it sounds like some pre-recorded audiotape is being played. It's truly bizarre. Even if you have your own selfish corporation interests, you can't get that type of uniformity with some very serious, invisible control structure. People would dissent or joke about the words they use. But nothing like it has really leaked out.

Media cartel: music 80% owned by "Big Three"; TV 90% by "Big Four"

Anyone going back a few chapters and looking at the oversight of represented corporations at the Sun Valley will probably go, "That's a lot of media power in one place." It most certainly is; it's just about all of the media that is represented at the Sun Valley. The Sun Valley is particularly interesting in light of mild and very infrequent acknowledgments in mainstream outlets that over 2018, 70% of the music recording business and 80% of the music streaming business (75% on average) is controlled by just three corporations: Vivendi, Sony and AT&T: WarnerMedia. [84]

Worse, these three corporations are part of even larger entertainment conglomerates, one of which, AT&T: WarnerMedia, is just one of four such conglomerates controlling 90% of American television channels and Hollywood studios as well. The other three are: Disney/Fox, Comcast and Viacom (General Electric used to own NBC / NBCUniversal). Sony, a founding and very dominant Trilateral Commission company, owns the last remaining Hollywood studio:

As the reader can see, especially in the first oversight, the Sun Valley Meetings basically is the only (known) place where all these interests are brought together in one place. This includes:

countless sub-divisions of these conglomerates, such as Hollywood studios, news corporations, and individual television channels; smaller "independent" entertainment conglomerates; as well as this network's main competition: Silicon Valley corporations.

In that sense, the Sun Valley Meetings really are the Illuminati of Entertainment - from where it might immediately makes sense why organizer Allen & Co. has so many globalist and intelligence connections: for any establishment, keeping control over the entirety of the media is top priority.

The ridiculousness of this situation might easiest be realized when considering that in order to be a famous music artist, one more or less has to be in the employ of either Vivendi, Sony or AT&T: WarnerMedia. Why? Because they own every major record label. The music of all your favorite iconic artists was and generally still is being released by these three companies.

There are exceptions, of course. Superstars U2, Madonna, Jay-Z, Shakira and Nickelback have been signed to Live Nation, many for more than a decade by now. [85] Live Nation is not owned by the "Big Three". Thus technically it can be seen as "independent", a so-called "indielabel". That's not exactly the case though. Live Nation is controlled by Liberty Media. Live Nation chairman Greg Maffei is president and CEO of Liberty Media, whose chairman from 1990 all the way to today, John C. Malone, has been an important visitor of the Sun Valley since at least 1995. Malone, worth $7.5 billion at the moment, is America's largest private landowner with 2.2 million acres in his possession, more even than new age globalist and past CNN owner Ted Turner - an old Sun Valley visitor from back in the 1990s. Malone, who is intensely private, has served on the boards of the elite Libertarian-but-pro-open borders CATO Institute and the liberal elite-dominated Nature Conservancy.

Also very fitting, Malone serves on the board of Discovery, Inc. (DCI), the owner of the Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, the Travel Channel, TLC and other TV channels. Similar to Liberty Media, as of this writing, DCI is not part of the "Big Four" or "Big Five" owning 90% of the U.S. media. Hence, it is tempting to think of this outlet too as "independent". However, multi-billionaire John Malone of Liberty Media sits on the board. On top of that, the company is controlled by 1982 Discovery Channel founder John S. Hendricks, a regular visitor of the Sun Valley since at least 1999.

In line with these "discoveries", readers of ISGP's article on the 1963 JFK assassination may remember the Discovery Channel being mentioned as a media outlet that has blatantly and very deliberately spread disinformation on the assassination, to the point that one immediately has to conclude that anyone truly independent would never sanction the airing of this type of manipulation. In December 2018 DCI's Travel Channel allowed the airing of Megan Fox's Legends of the Lost, which, among other things, included an interview with Fox's hero Graham Hancock, a master-manipulator in the Ancient Aliens franchise. Fox herself has become a huge promoter of these type of theories.

This is nothing new, of course, for these type of channels. The History Channel, owned by a variety of Sun Valley-represented media conglomerates, is airing its 13th season of Ancient Aliens at the time of this writing (ironically also featuring Megan Fox). The whole show is nothing but ridiculous Coast to Coast AM-borrowed conspiracy disinformation along the same lines as pushed by anyone from Erich von Daniken to Graham Hancock.

It should be clear that whether or not media outlets belong to the "Big Three" in music or the "Big Five" in overall entertainment, there is no evidence of any type of independent investigative reporting. The "liberal CIA" network of news media, from The Nation to Mother Jones, is not represented at all in the Sun Valley, but still is thoroughly under the (semi-)covert control of the globalist movement. The situation appears to be the same with smaller media corporations being invited to the Sun Valley.

Can ISGP creator become a famous singer?

To illustrate the massive unfairness of this business: With ISGP I already experience a giant, unprecedented boycott from the mainstream media and the alternative media, supplemented with extreme Google ranking penalties. I've been observing this since 2015, immediately after restarting ISGP, and writing about it since late 2017, roughly six months before conservative media outlets began bashing Facebook, Twitter and Google on a daily basis over this type of censorship. Absolutely ZERO mainstream or alternative media outlets have given attention to it. And Google has just continued to harass and downrank ISGP as it sees fit. Why? Because nobody is penalizing them for it. Nobody even knows. Nobody cares. Few can even comprehend that such a thing could be happening in our modern "democratic" society.

So what do you think will happen if I turn out to be a very talented singer? Would I be able to get signed by a major record label? All of whom owned by a handful of Sun Valley and Trilateral Commission corporations? Interesting question, isn't it? Would I be able to get signed by any minor record label? Maybe, but for large-scale distribution - especially combined with Billboard 200 notices, airtime on MTV or other music channels, and reviews and discussion by half-decent media outlets - you absolutely NEED one of the "Big Three" music companies and the handful of entertainment conglomerates that either own, or are tightly allied to them. Literally, if less than a dozen CEOs in the U.S., the EU and Japan decide that your music and its content is not acceptable, you're done: no distribution, no airtime, nothing. They can ban you from the TV as easily as they can from the record business, simply because they own it all.

Probably the only record label for me to sign a contract with is one which isn't looking for any distribution deals with the "Big Three" or related superclass-owned record labels. But even these have to worry about infiltration by the security services and see their company get pulled apart. When your content is as sensitive as ISGP, it really seems as if nowhere is safe.

Alternately, releasing your content on Spotify, iTunes, or YouTube means absolutely nothing. If no media is giving attention to your work, it's near impossible to get any traction. And if there's a chance you get traction, it's all too easy to get down-ranked to the max, or, increasingly, even be deleted without (good) explanation. Who is going to come to your aid? Certainly not all the media outlets owned by this handful of entertainment conglomerates. Certainly not the "liberal CIA"-financed "new left" media. Certainly not the entire security state-ran conspiracy community. We already know that - because of what ISGP has been writing about and dealing with for all these years.

Silicon Valley: the world cartel

Media cartels are not the only problem. The tech industry has them too and here they are even easier to spot.

Enter Google. Looking at Statcounter-provided statistics, Google dominates the search engine market on average for 90% throughout the West and also Latin America (really 96-98% among researchers). Now with the increasingly extreme censorship implemented by the Google search engine alone, it only makes alarm bells surrounding a monopoly ring louder. Predictably, as controversy rises surrounding the company, it is increasingly often argued that Google is a company, and not a government, and thus has the right to its own opinions and political stances based on the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Their actually have been (seemingly incorrect) arguments that Google's search engine dominance in the U.S. is "only" about 67-87% and that there still exists "competition". Well, just looking at ISGP, which is only heavily targeted by Google: definitely not. Google censorship alone absolutely ruins your site when it comes to online presence and overall ranking.

Besides, who is to say that that competition isn't also censoring similar political content to an extent? The number 2 and 3 search engines are Microsoft's Bing and Yahoo!, two Silicon Valley companies deeply involved in the Sun Valley - alongside Google. They compete, but at the same time they're all friends and have the same globalist opinions. If any of these search engines increases in prominence, it's far from unlikely that they will start censoring ISGP as well. Bing already has ISGP ranked a bit lower here and there than Yahoo!, which receives its search results from Bing.

The 4th-largest search engine is DuckDuckGo.com, which prides itself on "privacy" (Google, for example, logs all your queries, unless you disable it manually). For the time being, it has not been part of the Sun Valley. However, there are establishment and "liberal CIA" elements to be spotted with DuckDuckGo that might become a problem down the line. As early as November 2011, it received an investment of Union Square Ventures, founded by Sun Valley visitor Fred Wilson and a co-funder of the propagandist Data & Society Research Institute alongside "liberal CIA" foundations as Ford, Soros, Hewlett, Gates, MacArthur, Knight and others.

Since this 2011 investment, DuckDuckGo has worked closely with the "liberal CIA"-backed, anonymous Tor network and browser. It has been supported as a search engine option by Apple's Safari and the "liberal CIA" browser Firefox since the fall of 2014. It has partnerships with Yahoo! and Microsoft's Bing since 2016. It is also a co-financier of something called the "LEAP Encryption Access Project", along with "liberal CIA" NGOs and corporations as Google, Hivos, the Freedom of the Press Foundation, and the Wallace Global Fund. [86]

This is just what comes up in the first few minutes of research. From this, we have to conclude that DuckDuckGo hasn't been "independent" from a very early stage. This means that not a single search engine of any half-decent size can be labeled as "independent" from the Sun Valley network - which at the top is strongly interlinked with the Trilateral Commission in particular.

We just mentioned Firefox, a web browser. What are the dominant web browsers? Chrome, created by Google, is the dominant one these days. It has a bit more competition than its search engine, but its position has been increasingly dominant. Then there's Apple's Safari, Mozilla's Firefox, Microsoft's Edge and, for those really focused on anonymity, there's Tor. However, as just mentioned, both Firefox and Tor have "liberal CIA" backing, with Microsoft, Google and Apple being Silicon Valley and Sun Valley giants. The former two, in addition, are known "liberal CIA" financiers. So yeah, where's the independence?

Then you look at popular email providers: luckily there are more other options here, but Microsoft's Hotmail, Live and Outlook addresses; Google's Gmail, and Yahoo! all are ranked at the top. You often need these accounts to log into other services provided by these conglomerates, such as the Google-owned YouTube.

We can also look at mobile phones. There are quite a few brands, but the operating systems basically are all based on Apple's IOS or Google's Android, with the latter looking to approach 90% market dominance in the next few years. Microsoft has tried to compete, but has failed for the time being. Alternatives like Kai OS and Tizen exist at this moment, but have already been scooped up by the likes of Google, Intel and Samsung.

The situation with operating systems for desktop and laptop PCs might be the most uncompetitive of all. The only realistic choice for the past decades have been versions of Microsoft Windows. Apple may have been "big" in Silicon Valley as well, but was slowly but surely going out of business. The fact that Apple made it all the way to 2007, when the first iPhone was able to largely turn its image and profits around, should be considered one of the biggest mysteries of all time. Apple desktops and laptops might look more attractive (why Windows manufacturers never closed that gap effectively is another mystery), but performance-wise, they have always have sold for three times the price. A Windows laptop for $400 always has had roughly the same performance as a $1200 one of Apple. Then there's the problem that tons of software doesn't work on them. And whatever you can run on them, often isn't "more stable" than on a properly-managed Windows PC.

While it may be different in California or the U.S. as a whole, over here in Europe, Apple computers and printers really used to be a thing for eccentrics. In my teens I worked at a large computer store and would make a game out of spotting Mac users - before they arrived at the counter asking if we had any Apple printer cartridges. They almost always had artsy, scatter-brained, disheveled-looking features. Can't recall one instance in which I was wrong. The funny thing is that since the Apple iPhone has come out, that you hear a lot of women in particular saying they want a Macbook. However, they seldom buy one, because they realize it's just too much money. So yes, how did Apple make it into the modern era? Good question. Maybe the fact that Laurance Rockefeller was an early investor [87], plus favorable media attention, plus Silicon Valley eccentricism, and having been part of Silicon Valley and the Sun Valley for so long have played important roles. Despite being expensive, Apple's iPhones are pretty decent though.

Getting back on track, the desktop and laptop market is almost fully dominated by Windows. And increasingly, we see the problems that brings with it. The company has been fined repeatedly for exploiting the dominant position of its operating system in relation to distributing its Internet Explorer browser and Windows Media Player program. The problems are much bigger than this, of course. Starting in the 2000s they:

introduced expensive licensing agreements for their Windows and Office products;

introduced cumbersome and futile measures to try and protect their software from being copied (upgrade your ram or CPU and your windows stops working, etc.);

started to artificially create dumbed-down "Home" versions of their operating system, selling "Pro" versions at a premium;

forced the entire world on to newer versions of Windows that often were buggier and simply less good than previous versions (Windows 8 was the absolute worst; Windows ME and arguably Vista were somewhat useless "upgrades"; XP (Pro) was Windows 2000 in a nicer shell; Windows 95, 98, 2000 and Windows 7 were major improvements; with a huge amount of tweaking and some luck with avoiding bugs Windows 10 is a bit better here and there than Windows 7 - but unbelievably invasive)

released versions of Windows that
