The Carlyle Group - Secret Leaders of the “Free” World….??

Do we have suspicions about those who purport to run things for the greater good....? You BET we do....!!

The Carlyle Group is a Washington, D.C., USA based global private equity investment firm with more than $81.1 billion of equity capital under management.
The firm is well known for the dozens of world political figures and luminaries it has employed. Some of these figures, such as George H. W. Bush and his Secretary of State James A. Baker III, have generated controversy stemming from allegations of conflicts of interest.

Connections between the Carlyle and the Bush family have inspired controversy, particularly in relation to the War on Terror and the Iraq War. George H. W. Bush and his Secretary of State James A. Baker III have at times been advisors to the group. One writer claimed that Saudi Arabian interests have given $1.4 billion to firms connected to the Bush family. Of this figure, $1.18 billion comes from contracts awarded to defense contractor Braddock, Dunn & McDonald, which Carlyle sold before George H. W. Bush became an advisor. A Carlyle spokesman noted in 2003 that its 7 percent interest in defense industries was far less than several other venture capital groups.

Further comments on how there may be some kind of conspiracy lurking beneath the surface can be sourced via http://www.carlylegroup.net/thebigguys.htm and this documentary Exposed �" The Carlyle Group.

We asked the question (below) and now hope the “Big Guys” don’t come after us….

******************************************************************************
What are your opinions on the Carlyle group? Are they the secret rulers of the free world?
Misty Blue - Carlyle has become the thread which indirectly links American military policy in Afghanistan to the personal financial fortunes of its celebrity employees, not least the current president's father. And, until earlier this month, Carlyle provided another curious link to the Afghan crisis: among the firm's multi-million-dollar investors were members of the family of Osama bin Laden. Beginning to wonder if he works for them LOL. Most folk would be familiar with the name Bilderberg but not Carlyle despite the connections. Funny how you can get that powerful and remain under the radar?
There's something rotten in the state of Washington.
All a bit Machiavellian for my liking.
You should check out the Bush, Kerry, old families, Yale connection.
Kev - Ah, there you are. Misty Blue's been looking for you two! Is that a secret Empire built up by the evil Robert Carlyle and the other people from the film Trainspotting in their bid for world domination...?
guss99 - The Carlyle group sure knows how to profit from human suffering. The Bin-Ladens were investors in the group, through The Saudi Bin-Laden Group.

******************************************************************************
So, despite Kev’s rather random view, it appears that there is suspicion regarding Carlyle (NB. Misty Blue was wondering when we would run out of “conspiracies”), more next week…..

Featured Artist for this week was NEXUS BLOOM, originally based near Reading, but now plying their trade in Oz… In between asking for a birthday request for his Ma (!!), vocalist Tom Baker sent this information…
“We are an unsigned British band, and have funded ourselves to come out to Australia in hope of furthering our musical career. We made this decision due to the amount of exposure Billabong have given us �" we have been on numerous surf footage DVD’s.”
For more information about the band, their website is http://www.myspace.com/nexusbloom, we found their sound very distinctive giving the impression that they would be great to see “live”.
(and Happy Birthday Mrs Baker….!)

In between some of the pre-selected tracks, both Tom and Ian spent some time in the “Rock Vault” to see what could be found �" some old favourites in addition to Voodoo Six who may be spoken to on the telephone “live” next week ahead of their upcoming appearances in Kettering…..
