Real News In A Changing World
June 11, 2011: Michael Howard / Rense.com – June 11, 2011
"The world is governed by far different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes." – Benjamin Disraeli
On 1 May 1776, the year of the beginning of the American revolution against British colonial rule, a young university professor, Adam Weishaupt (1748-1830), from Bavaria, founded the Order of Perfectibilists, later to become world famous as the Illuminati or 'Enlightened Ones'.
Weishaupt's family had Jewish ancestry, but he was brought up in the Roman Catholic faith and educated by the Jesuits.
His father died when he was seven and he was fostered by his godfather, a German aristocrat called Baron Ickstett.
Although schooled by priests from the Society of Jesus, the young boy spent hours in his godfather's extensive library reading learned works on philosophy and science. As an undergraduate at university, Weishaupt studied the ancient Greek Eleusian Mysteries and the mystical doctrines of the Greek philosopher Pythagoras. Even at this young age he was thinking about forming a secret society based on the pagan mystery schools. He later wrote:
"At a time, however, when there was no end of making game of and abusing secret societies, I planned to make use of this human foible for a real and worthy goal, for the benefit of people. I wished to do what the heads of the ecclesiastical and secular authorities ought to have done by virtue of their offices."
Adam Weishaupt became a lay professor in canon law at the Jesuit-run University of Ingoldstat near Munich while still a young man. His sudden rise to prominence in the university and his radical views caused consternation among the Jesuit priests. This led him to become involved in many bitter disputes with them about matters pertaining to religion.
In 1774 in either Hanover or Munich Weishaupt became interested in Freemasonry. However, he was disappointed in what he found, believing the Freemasons did not understand Masonry's occult significance, and refused to accept its roots in the ancient pagan religions. In 1777, he finally joined the Masonic Lodge of the Strict Observance Rite in Munich, which practised a form of neo-Templar-Masonry.
At this time the Order of Perfectibilists also became known as the Order of Illuminists or the Order of the Illuminati, sometimes known to its members as the Society of the Hidden Hand. Illuminati was the plural of the Latin Illuminatus, from illumino meaning lighten or enlighten, or 'enlightened one', a term used to describe the initiates of the pagan Mysteries. At first the Order had only five members who were radical freethinkers, but they soon attracted the attention of Bavarian society and within ten years of its foundation there were over 2,000 members.
Illuminism spread from Ingoldstat all over Bavaria and then to other German regions such as Saxony, Westphalia and Franconia that were at the time ruled by feudal princes. It was also exported abroad to the Austria-Hungarian Empire, France and Italy. The Illuminati's membership was largely drawn from the middle and upper classes and in this respect it is ironic that revolutionary movements are seldom started by the working-class. Instead, they are usually led by intellectuals and disenchanted members of the ruling power elite. Members of the Illuminati allegedly included doctors, teachers, lawyer, judges, university professors, priests, police and military officers, and aristocrats such as Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick, Duke Ernst of Gotha, Duke Karl of Saxe-Weiner, Prince Augustus of Saxe-Gotha, Prince Carl of Hesse, and Baron Dalberg.
The inclusion of these aristocratic and royal rulers in its membership roll seems strange considering the aims of the Illuminati. Adam Weishaupt's personal vision was a utopian pacifist society without monarchy, private property, social inequality, national identity and religious affiliation. In this new state people would live together in harmony in a universal brotherhood based on peace, free love, spiritual wisdom, intellectual and scientific knowledge, and equality. According to Weishaupt's doctrine in his own words:
"Salvation does not lie where strong theories are defended by swords, where the smoke of censers ascends to heaven, or where thousands of strong men pace the rich fields of harvest. The revolution which is about to break [the French Revolution] will be sterile. It is not complete."
The Illuminati's main targets for criticism were the rule of the European royal families, the power of the Roman Catholic Church and the rich landowners who kept the peasants in a feudal state of servitude and poverty. According to its enemies, this doctrine was represented in the oath of allegiance taken by new members when they joined the Order. They allegedly promised to hate and resist, "The altar [the Church] and the throne [monarchy] and to crush the God of the Christians and utterly extirpate the kings of Earth."
Initiation into the Illuminati
The anti-royalist and anti-clerical nature of the Illuminati was also reflected in its initiation ceremony. The candidate was led into a small room where, in front of an empty throne, a table stood with the traditional symbols of kingship – a sceptre, sword and crown – on it. The candidate was invited to pick up these objects, but if he did then he would be refused entry into the Order. Having passed this test, he was led into a second room with a table draped in black cloth. On this table were a plain wooden cross and a red Phrygian cap as worn by initiates of the ancient Mithraic Mysteries. The cap was given to the initiate and he was told to wear it proudly as it was worth far more than the crown of any king.
New members were called Minervals, from the pagan goddess of wisdom Minerva, and the Order's primary symbol was a wreath of oak leaves surrounding an owl sitting on an open book. This represented the essential combination of wisdom and knowledge, and the owl was also the sacred bird of Minerva. This symbol was made into a pendant that the Illuminati could wear secretly under their ordinary everyday clothes. It is tempting to see a connection between this emblem and the giant statue of an owl that features in the modern rituals at Bohemian Grove in California. At this private estate an annual gathering of male politicians, businessmen and media executives takes place, and it is claimed by some conspiracy theorists to be an Illuminati front.
Adam Weishaupt believed in the eventual redemption of humanity and the restoration of human beings to the state of perfection that is supposed to have existed before the Fall and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. He also believed this redemption was only obtainable by following the esoteric teachings preserved by the pagan mystery schools who were the guardians of the Ancient Wisdom. Both men and women could become members of the Illuminati and they were taught religious freedom, and the choice to follow any or no religious belief. To live without the moral straitjacket of the sexually puritanical and corrupt Church was their birthright as human beings.
How the Illuminati Recruited and Expanded Across Europe
The new member was expected to recruit others into the Order like a modern form of pyramid selling. Because of Weishaupt's involvement with Freemasonry, it was decided to use the movement to spread the Illuminati message and members were encouraged to join Masonic lodges. In 1780 Baron Adolf Franz Freidrich Knigge (1752-1796), a German diplomat, was initiated as an Illuminist. He was already a Freemason and under his direction Illuminism spread throughout the Masonic lodges of Europe. He also introduced several degrees or grades of initiation into the Order. These grades were Novice, Minerval, Illuminatus Minor, Illuminatus Major, Knight, Priest, and Magus. A Priest for instance was a person who taught the other members the occult sciences, philosophy, history, politics and the arts and crafts.
Weishaupt established a network of Illuminist agents throughout Europe with access to prominent politicians, priests and cardinals, nobility and royalty. They reported back to the Grand Master of the Illuminati supplying him with intelligence and gossip collected and used for his own personal purpose. It is possible the aim was to blackmail people in powerful positions and thereby control them. By this time his enemies were claiming Weishaupt had decided his utopian anarcho-libertarian society could not be achieved peacefully. Allegedly he began plotting to overthrow the monarchies and governments of Europe using force if necessary.
In 1784 Baron Knigge and Adam Weishaupt quarrelled about the direction of the Order and this coincided with the exposure by police spies of an alleged Illuminist plot to overthrow the ruling Habsburg dynasty of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the same year a royal edict was issued by Duke Karl Theodor, the ruling elector of Bavaria and a prince of the Holy Roman Empire, banning membership of all secret societies not officially recognised by the state. This edict specifically mentioned the Order of Perfectibilists, which was described as a renegade branch of Freemasonry.
Soldiers, police officers, judges, university professors, schoolteachers and anyone working for the civil service were forced to admit to their membership of secret societies and had to either leave or be dismissed from their posts. In 1785 Adam Weishaupt was removed from his own position at the University of Ingoldstat and banished from the city of Munich to live in the countryside on a state pension. He moved to Regensburg where he was protected by Duke Ernst of Saxe-Gotha, an ancestor of the present British royal family who are of German descent. In World War I they changed their family name from Saxe-Gotha-Coburg to the House of Windsor after anti-German protests.
In October 1786 the Bavarian authorities seized a cache of Illuminati secret documents from the home of a member of the diplomatic corp, Xavier Zwack, in Landstut and the castle of Sondersdorf belonging to Baron Bassus, both prominent members of the Illuminati. These were published in Munich in 1787 under the title Einige Originalschiften des Illuminaton Ordens. They revealed the full extent of the Illuminati's alleged plans to destroy Christianity, topple the monarchy, overthrow the civil governments of Europe and eventually extend their influence worldwide. Even though it was claimed these documents were blatant forgeries, as a result of their publication the Order was legally prohibited and membership of it could result in the death penalty.
Many critics of the Illuminati saw its 'hidden hand' behind both the French and American Revolutions in the eighteenth century and believed it survived underground after its prohibition. The fact that Adam Weishaupt lived for another forty-three years in apparent obscurity led to speculation the Illuminati also survived. One of the founders of the French Revolution, the Comte de Mirabeau, was rumoured to have been a secret Illuminist. Some claim the plan for the original uprising to storm the Bastille prison in Paris that sparked the Revolution was discussed and agreed at a closed session of the Grand Masonic Convention in 1782. Count Mirabeau is supposed to have addressed the delegates and said his aim was to destroy the French monarchy and the Roman Catholic Church in France. In its place he said a "religion of love" would be established to replace it. In fact, during the French Revolution religious observance was temporally replaced with the secular worship of the Goddess of Liberty.
Groups Claiming to Inherit the Mantle of the Illuminati
Following the prohibition of the Order of Perfectibilists, several occult secret societies claimed to have inherited its mantle and to be carrying on its work. These included the Society of Illuminists founded in Avignon in the late 1780s by the unlikely partnership of an excommunicated Catholic priest and a Polish count. It later changed its name to the Academy of True Free Masons when it moved its headquarters from Avignon to Montpelier. Although it is rumoured the group still existed in 1812, it actually stopped functioning during the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror that followed it.
The Concordists were a Russian secret society founded around 1790 as the alleged successor of the Bavarian Illuminati. They were suppressed in turn in the early 1800s by the Russian government who outlawed them as a subversive political organisation. In the early 1900s a journalist and spy for the Prussian secret police called Albert Karl Theodor Reuss (1855-1923) used a charter of authority supplied by the English Freemason John Yarker to establish a new Academy of Masonry. The Academy was later amalgamated into the Ordo Templi Orientis, the Order of the Eastern Temple or Order of Oriental Templars founded by high-ranking German Freemason Karl Kellner.
The OTO was connected with John Yarker's Masonic Ancient and Primitive Rite of Memphis and Mizraim and was supposed to possess the key to all the Masonic-Hermetic mysteries. Kellner claimed to have been taught these 'secrets' by three Eastern adepts. Theodor Reuss is mostly remembered today for initiating the notorious twentieth century occultist and magician Aleister Crowley into the OTO in 1912. The Great Beast 666, as he called himself, and known to the sensational newspapers as 'The Wickedest Man in the World' (surely not compared with his contemporaries Stalin and Hitler?) became the head of the Order in Britain and Europe. He claimed that the OTO was a Rosicrucian-Illuminatist group descended from the Bavarian Illuminati. Crowley was also a long-term secret agent working for MI6 or the British Secret Intelligence Service.
In the twentieth century the alleged surviving Illuminati in its various clandestine forms was seen as the eminence gris behind World Wars I & II, the Bolshevik Revolution and fall of the Romanovs in Russia in 1917, and the rise of both communism and fascism in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s. It was widely believed by conspiracy theorists that the organisation would back any political group or doctrine or social movement and indulge in left and right-wing politics to achieve its age-old aims. Because Adam Weishaupt was of Jewish descent, the Illuminati became connected with Zionism, the international banking system, and even the entertainment industry and Hollywood where Jews are prominent.
In the modern world the Illuminati have been seen as a major factor and influence in international power politics, allegedly fomenting wars, civil disorder and revolutions in their attempt to establish a one-world government. They have variously been seen behind the contrasting ideologies of globalism and neo-conservatism, multiculturism, environmentalism and 'green' politics, the 1960s 'permissive society', and the New Age spiritual movement. The Illuminati have also been held responsible for the fall of the Soviet Union (which paradoxically they are supposed to have created) and the military policing actions by the United Nations, the Anglo-American alliance and NATO since the end of World War II.
It is claimed the draconian anti-terrorism laws introduced by Western governments in the wake of 9/11 and the emergence in recent years of a 'Big Brother' electronic surveillance society, where human rights and freedoms are restricted or infringed, is the work of the Illuminati from behind the scenes. Organisations such as the European Union (EU), the proposed North American Union (NAU) of the USA, Canada and Mexico, the UN, and the World Bank, are seen as Illuminati projects.
Secret 'Shadow Government' Groups
So-called 'shadow government' groups such as the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the Bilderberg Group and the Trilateral Commission set up after World War II, are also said to be fronts for the modern manifestation of the Illuminati. The CFR was founded in 1921 by Colonel Edward House, a political advisor to President Woodrow Wilson and financed by wealthy international bankers. Colonel House was denounced by his political enemies as a Marxist seeking to establish a socialist government in the USA leading to a one-world government. Paradoxically before World War II the CFR was accused of supporting and financing the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party in Germany. After the war it was labelled a populariser of international socialism through the UN. The CFR's apparently contradictory political aims were explained by conspiracy buffs as typical of the Illuminati fronts that use both left and right politics. That is why the organisation recruited its US members from both the Democrat and Republican parties.
Allegedly, another sinister arm of the modern 'shadow government' and the Illuminati is said to be the Bilderberg Group. Founded in May 1954, it held its first meeting at the Bilderberg Hotel in Osterbeck near Arnhem in the Netherlands. The Bilderberg Group was organised with the support of the CIA by Dr. Joseph Retinger, a mysterious figure involved in international Freemasonry and secret intelligence work, and Prince Bernard of the Dutch royal family. In 1946 Retinger told a meeting of the CFR in London that his personal political vision was a united Europe as a bulwark against anti-Americanism and communism. His plans took a step forward eight years later when the Bilderberg Group began its annual meetings attended by representatives of the business world, international banking, the media, the military-industrial complex and politics.
Few people attending Bilderberg meetings have ever talked publicly about what happened or what was discussed. However, Denis Healey, a larger-than-life character who was Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Labour government of the 1970s, once let the proverbial cat out of the bag in a television interview. Asked what the Bilderberg Group was, Healey admitted its ultimate political aim was "a single community throughout the world" or a one-world government.
The 2009 Bilderberg Conference was held from 14-17 April at a hotel in a town near Athens, Greece. Among the participants were the queen of the Netherlands, former prime ministers and prominent government ministers from the host country Greece, the USA, the United Kingdom, Turkey, Belgium, the Netherlands and France, representatives of NATO, the UN, the American National Security Agency (NSA), directors of international banks, and the World Trade organisation, and the editors of national and international financial newspapers and magazines.
According to conspiracy theorists and professional Bilderberg watchers, those who attended this meeting apparently agreed to produce a false picture for the public of imminent economic recovery from the global recession and banking crisis. The attendees were to encourage banks and private investors to put their money back into the stock markets. The plan is apparently to create a new financial crisis in 2010 that will plunge the world into a deeper and more serious recession than we have so far experienced. This would cause high levels of unemployment and civil disorder and pave the way for more draconian laws to control the population. Eventually the situation would get so bad that martial law would have to be declared and there would be calls for a one-world government to be set up to restore global order. The meeting also allegedly backed the Lisbon treaty, which will eventually create a European federal super-state or United States of Europe with a single currency, the Euro.
In his State of the Union address in January 1991, President George H. Bush told US Congress the impending Gulf War to liberate the oil-state of Kuwait from Iraqi occupation was part of a new "big idea" he called the New World Order. He described it as bringing together diverse nations in a common cause to achieve "the universal aspirations of humankind, peace and security, freedom and the rule of law." Many of those who heard or read the address interpreted President Bush's remarks as a coded reference to the Illuminati's aim of a global government.
With the election of the first black president in American history, Barack Obama, in November 2008, it seemed as if the neo-con forces with their New World Order agenda had been defeated. It was widely predicted by media commentators and political experts that America was entering a new stage in its development, a time of hope and change when the discredited right-wing policies of the neo-cons would be consigned to the garbage can of history. This was illustrated by postcards on sale in the UK showing the new president as a shining knight on a white horse. The picture was simply captioned 'Hope'.
It has been pointed out that for the first time in a generation there appeared to be no known links between President Obama and 'shadow government' groups such as the Bilderbergers. However, rumours of a secret tryst between Senator Hilary Clinton and Senator Obama in Virginia during the Bilderberg Group meeting of 2008 held in that state raised suspicions. It was suggested both politicians may have secretly attended the meeting. Also several prominent members of the Obama administration have been identified as Bilderberg attendees and members of the CFR and Trilateral Commission, which as its name suggests brings together leading past and present politicians from Europe, the United States and Japan. This is not surprising considering that, Illuminati front or not, the so-called 'shadow government' acts as a training and recruiting agency for the Western world's aspiring politicians.
At the time of writing President Obama's honeymoon period with the American public seem to be over. Recently he has been criticised for his radical (by American standards) heath-care plans, his bailing out of international banks with taxpayers' money, the delayed withdrawal from Iraq and his acceptance of the premature Nobel Peace Prize only days after he committed a further 30,000 troops to the ongoing Afghan War. In some extreme conspiracy theory circles, Obama is an Anti-Christ figure accused variously of being an Illuminati pawn promoting a one-world government, and a secret Muslim and socialist plotting to transform the United States into a military dictatorship.
This ongoing story of the Illuminati, and the secret societies claiming to succeed it, is one of a conflict between opposing forces seeking ultimate power for different reasons. It exposes a sinister agenda on those who have hijacked democracy and the idealistic concept of a utopian form of government guaranteeing real freedom to all its citizens. It is a noble concept corrupted for selfish political purposes using xenophobia, religious intolerance and fear as its weapons of choice.
The modern heirs of the Illuminati, if that is what they really are, are hardly 'enlightened ones' as they are only interested in the acquisition of personal power, the suppression of knowledge, and the control of the masses who they want to keep in a state of ignorance. However, there is still hope that genuine initiates of the Ancient Wisdom are working secretly behind the scenes of international politics to improve our modern world and lead it to a brighter future.

Hopes that Opec would bring relief to motorists and wider western economies from soaring energy prices were today dashed when a crunch meeting of the oil cartel broke up in disarray without the expected agreement to increase crude output.
Political turbulence in North Africa and the Middle East undermined the usual consensus at the meeting in Vienna and led to speculation that new internal rivalries could split the group, leading to even more market chaos.
Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil producer and influential Opec dove, was outmanoeuvred by Iran, Venezuela, Libya and others, later describing the summit as "one of the worst meetings we have ever had".
The price of Brent crude soared a further $1.65 to $118.43 a barrel as an expected Opec agreement to raise its production quotas by about 1.5 million barrels a day failed to materialise.
Petrol in Britain averages 136p a litre – 18p more than a year ago – and Edmund King, president of the AA, said the prospect of a new rise on the back of the failed Opec meeting was a "slap in the face" for the consumer.
"With so many indicators pointing to the pain of high oil prices and the detrimental effect they are having on family budgets and economic recovery, Opec's decision simply deepens the gloom," he added.
The four west-leaning Gulf Arab states had proposed increasing daily output to more than 30m barrels but they were out-voted by seven countries including Venezuela and Algeria who wanted them left unchanged.
Saudi Arabia made clear it was not happy. Ali al-Naimi, oil minister for a country which has close ties with America and Britain, said: "We were unable to reach an agreement – this is one of the worst meetings we have ever had."
Market analysts said there were genuine differences inside Opec about whether the bout of very high oil prices could last and undermine the global economy or naturally fall back.
"One factor is a diverging market view. Another is politics," said analyst Samuel Ciszuk at IHS global Insight. "At times of heated politics and ideological debate, Saudi struggled to dominate as much as it could have given its size vis-a-vis others in Opec."
The atmosphere had been poisoned by Qatar backing Libyan rebels fighting the government of Muammar Gaddafi, while Saudi Arabia has angered Shi'ite Iran by using force to help the Sunni-led Bahrain suppress a Shi'ite rebellion.
But, this time, those in Opec politically opposed to the United States – led by Iran and Venezuela – found enough support to block Saudi Arabia whose views normally hold sway.
Katherine Spector at CIBC World Markets said: "Saudi is the cartel member most interested in earning political 'points' with consuming countries, and maintaining its image as a reliable supplier of last resort."
But several Opec members also argued they needed to keep tax revenues high to protect their citizens against the rocketing cost of other commodities such as food, and could not let the oil price decline. Opec is not due to meet again for another three months and some analysts said the angry divergence of views could mark the beginning of the end for the cartel.
"A new world order beckons, doubtless preceded by disorder," said Marc Ostwald, strategist at Monument Securities. He predicted that non-Opec members such as Russia and Kazakhstan could be the main beneficiaries if the cartel's power waned.
Production quotas have now remained unchanged since 2009. The International Energy Agency, the global watchdog, expressed its "disappointment" at Opec's decision and urged producers to increase output anyway.
"A further tightening in the market and potential increases in prices risk undermining economic recovery, which is in the interests neither of producers nor consumers."
However, Julian Jessop, chief international economist at Capital Economics, said the weakening outlook for the global economy should bring oil prices down later this year . "We continue to expect the price of Brent crude to drop back below $90 per barrel by the end of the year, as global demand continues to disappoint, the Middle East risk premium fades, and the dollar rebounds."

June 9, 2011: Kurt Nimmo / Infowars.com – June 8, 2011
Alex Jones and Infowars.com have received inside information regarding the Bilderberg agenda now unfolding in the idyllic Swiss countryside.
According to AFP journalist and legendary Bilderberg sleuth Jim Tucker's inside sources, the agenda now under review includes a number of critical issues at the top of the elite's to-do list. These breakdown as follows: The elite are concerned that the American Congress may soon turn against the illegal and immoral invasion under humanitarian cover by NATO and the U.S. against the north African dictator Moammar Gaddafi.
As columnist Patrick Buchanan noted yesterday, Congress is rising in opposition to bogus wars launched by the executive branch in violation of the Constitution.
"Last week, House Speaker John Boehner had to scramble to cobble up a substitute resolution to prevent half his GOP caucus from joining with Democrats to denounce President Obama's war in Libya as unconstitutional and to demand a total U.S. pullout in 15 days," Buchanan wrote. More than a third of House Republicans voted to pull out of the NATO coalition attacking Gaddafi's forces, in essence forcing a NATO withdrawal from the color revolution engineered civil war in that country.
In January, a former oil industry pastor revealed that his inside sources said oil prices will skyrocket – a fait accompli with gas prices at the pump now at historically high levels – as the global elite work behind the scenes to take down national economies. [Lindsey] Williams appeared on the Alex Jones Show to talk about new revelations that deal with the death of the dollar, exploding energy prices, and the engineered onset of order out of chaos revolution worldwide.
The elite now meeting behind closed doors in Switzerland are pushing for a wider war and incalculable suffering in the Middle East. The money masters have long profited from war and mass murder. Nathan Rothschild made a financial bet on Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo and while also funding the Duke of Wellington's peninsular campaign against Napoleon. The House of Rothschild financed the Prussian War, the Crimean War and the British attempt to seize the Suez Canal from the French and also financed the Mexican War and the Civil War in the U.S.
In addition to worrying about Congress waking up to the Libyan scam, the global elite are also concerned about a diverse liberty movement that has grown exponentially with the help of an open and free internet. In response, the pocketed pawns in Congress have introduced a raft of bills over the last few months designed to take down the internet and blunt its impact as a medium for alternative news and information.
On April 1, 2009, the Senate introduced two bills, endangering a free and open internet: S. 773 Cybersecurity Act of 2009 and S. 778 to establish a White House cybersecurity czar. In addition, on September 20, 2010, S. 3804: Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) was introduced.
Early last month, an especially ominous bill was introduced in the Senate. Entitled Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act of 2011, PROTECT IP for short, this legislation would use copyright infringement as a smoke screen to take down web domains and institute rolling censorship.
On the international front, the European Commission gave a nod toward implementing the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), a draconian measure that will subvert national sovereignty, trash Net Neutrality, consumer privacy, and civil liberties. In the United States, the corporate media has virtually ignored ACTA, but then key players in the Mockingbird media are often Bilderberg attendees and privy to aspects of the agenda.
The above represent a small sampling of legislation and treaties that will be used to shut down the opposition under the cover of protecting copyright and preventing terrorism.
Hyperventilating over exaggerated threats of cybersecurity, Senator Jay Rockefeller mused during a congressional meeting on cyber crime and terrorism in 2009: "It really almost makes you ask the question would it have been better if we had never invented the internet."
The globalists are not opposed to the internet, especially as a corporatized money-making instrument. They are, however, opposed to an open, free, and unregulated by government internet where alternative media opposed to their globalist devices are allowed to thrive.
In addition, we can expect minions of the global elite who parade around as our elected representatives and appointed government officials to continue their propaganda efforts to convince the American people that the internet will be used as a terrorist weapon of mass destruction and as such needs to be tightly regulated – for our own safety, of course, and that of the children.
Finally, the Bilderbergers will work on an effort to sucker an already economically besieged American public into further fantastic debt producing bankster bailouts, specifically for Greece, Ireland, Portugal, and other member EU nations sliding toward bankruptcy and social disruption on a monumental scale.
In late 2010, the U.S. Treasury, now operating as a liaison between the government and the bankster owned private Federal Reserve, indicated it was ready to fork over billions more to the European black hole. "There are obviously some severe market problems," said a faceless bureaucrat, speaking on condition of anonymity. "In May, it was Greece. This is Ireland and Portugal. If there is contagion that's a huge problem for the global economy."
As of late 2010, the IMF, whose biggest single "shareholder" (read: parasitical host) is the United States, has committed 250 billion euros to the bankster engineered black hole. "Why should American taxpayers be on the hook because a foreign government cannot cover its debts?" asked Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, at a House subcommittee hearing last May.
Because the plan is to take down national sovereignty, impose drastic austerity measures, hold fire sales on national assets, consolidate wealth and power, and use an endless economic crisis as an excuse to usher in world government, a one-world currency, and a sprawling high-tech police state.

Dominique Baettig calls on federal authorities to apprehend former US Secretary of State…
A prominent member of Switzerland's largest political party has called upon federal authorities to arrest Henry Kissinger as a war criminal if he attends the 2011 Bilderberg conference of global power brokers which is set to begin on Thursday at the Hotel Suvretta House in St. Moritz.
Swiss People's Party representative Dominique Baettig wrote a letter to the General Prosecutor of the Swiss Federation in which he asked, "In the name of Cantonal Sovereignty and independence, but especially of the Justice's independence from executive power – may it be Federal or Cantonal – I ask you to check abroad for Arrest Warrants delivered by various Courts, Judges and also for all valid criminal complaints against the persons who were, amongst others, cited as mere examples in my (enclosed) letters to Mrs. Simonetta Sommaruga, Federal Counselor and Mrs. Barbara Janom Steiner, Cantonal Counselor and of course, to arrest them before diligent extraditions."
Baettig is no fringe figure, he's the equivalent of a US Congressman, representing the Canton of Jura on the National Council of Switzerland. His party, the Swiss People's Party, is the largest party in the Federal Assembly, with 58 members of the National Council and 6 of the Council of States.
Baettig's letter also calls for the apprehension of George W. Bush and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, but neither are likely to be attending the conference. However, Kissinger is a regular Bilderberg attendee and is almost certain to be present in St. Moritz.
Kissinger, National Security Advisor and later Secretary of State for President Nixon and President Ford, has been accused of being complicit in a number of war crimes in Indochina, Bangladesh, Chile, Cyprus and East Timor. Numerous activists have attempted to arrest him over the years under the Geneva Conventions Act.
In The Trial of Henry Kissinger, author Christopher Hitchens documents how Kissinger personally approved bombing campaigns that resulted in thousands of civilian casualties as well as signing off on the use of the deadly chemical Agent Orange. United States General Telford Taylor, the former chief prosecuting officer at the Nuremberg trials, stated that Kissinger committed war crimes by giving the nod to bomb Vietnamese villages during the war.
Although Bilderberg's primary confab will take place in St. Moritz, other associated meetings will also occur in Zurich and Geneva. Unlike the small group of independent journalists who will travel to the location to do the job that the castrated establishment media refuses to undertake, Bilderberg elitists can rely on private jets and helicopters to transport them between the different locations.
In recent years, Bilderberg luminaries have decried the increasing number of demonstrators and independent journalists who descend on the scene of each annual meeting, which is the primary reason why members will be hopping around to different locations within the small country of Switzerland to escape the glare of reporters and the unwanted attention of protesters.
Claims by apologists that Bilderberg is merely a talking shop that has no influence on setting policy have been vehemently debunked in recent years. Bilderberg chairman Étienne Davignon last year bragged about how the Euro single currency was a brainchild of the Bilderberg Group.
"A meeting in June in Europe of the Bilderberg Group – an informal club of leading politicians, businessmen and thinkers chaired by Mr. Davignon – could also 'improve understanding' on future action, in the same way it helped create the Euro in the 1990s, he said," reported the EU Observer in March 2009.
The foundations for the EU and ultimately the Euro single currency were laid by the secretive Bilderberg Group in the mid-1950's. Bilderberg's own leaked documents prove that the agenda to create a European common market and a single currency was formulated by Bilderberg in 1955.
As we first reported in 2003, a BBC investigative team were allowed to access Bilderberg files which confirmed that the EU and the Euro were the brainchild of Bilderberg.
During an interview with a Belgian radio station last year, former NATO Secretary-General and Bilderberg member Willy Claes admitted that those who attend the conference are mandated to implement decisions that are formulated during the confab within their respective spheres of influence.

What happens at Bilderberg will be this year's globalist agenda. It is their blueprint for world domination! – SJH
As the Bilderberg conference heads towards Switzerland there's still time to book your seat on a minibus to St Moritz…
As Europe groans, and austerity bites, as defaulting looms, and once proud nations fall to their knees in debt, there's only one annual conference of bankers and industrialists that can step in and save us all… Bilderberg!
Next week, in Switzerland, Henry Kissinger and his brave band of corporate CEOs, high-wealth individuals and heavyweight thinktankers will lock arms with Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands and David Rockefeller, and stand their ground against the economic contagion.
The last thing a bunch of bank bosses and multinational executives wants is for the nation-states of Europe to collapse, allowing their assets to be bought up on the cheap. Right?
Besides, if anyone can lay claim to fathering the EU, it's Bilderberg. Sixty years ago, Europe was a mere Bilderbaby, conceived in a solemn ceremony on Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands' mattress. It grew into a fine young Bilderboy, but the years have caught up with it, and now it seems its knees are creaking and its heart is weak.
Perhaps the clear mountain air of St Moritz will prove just the tonic. The Bilderberg Group is gathering there between 9-12 June, at the Hotel Suvretta House, described on its website thus: "Like a beautiful fairytale castle, our hotel is embedded in the fantastic alpine landscape of the Upper Engadine." No mention of the magical rooftop snipers or the fairytale ring of armed riot police, but maybe they'll be updating their website in time for the conference.
The hotel promises that the Privatsphäre of the guests will be utterly respektiert, which goes for the conference, as well: the press will be lucky to get a whiff of Kissinger's toast in the morning. It's a shame the attendees are still so phobic of attention, seeing as how this year there's shaping up to be more press interest than ever.
People and the media have finally started noticing this quiet little conference at the centre of the storm. The last two countries to play host to the meeting were Greece and Spain, both of whom waved goodbye to Bilderberg and said hello to austerity and unrest. Happy Christmas, Switzerland.
This year, a bunch of less-than-happy Brits are heading out to St Moritz by minibus, to voice their concern at the policies being thrashed out at the conference. They've dubbed their fifteen-seater the Bilderbus, and it leaves Nottingham on Tuesday after work. There are still ten seats to fill: it's £95 return, and camping's cheap when you get there. And I can't stress this enough: it really is a sight to behold. (The conference, not the minibus).
There are two seats free on the bus, since Dominique Strauss-Kahn and Ken Clarke have both been forced to cancel. Which is good news for the chamber maids at the Suvretta House (because Ken is so very untidy – cigar stubs and Ornette Coleman CDs everywhere…)
If you'd like to book a place on the minibus, you can email the organisers at this address: firstname.lastname@example.com.
And if you're interested to see what crops up on the official Bilderberg agenda, then keep an eye on their website. Jockeying for position are the crisis in the eurozone, the Arab Spring, the Fukushima fallout (with Germany backing away from nuclear), and of course, what to do about the internet. That old chestnut.
Maybe this year they'll hold a press conference like, I don't know, grown-ups might. I won't be holding my breath. But I will be sniffing the air of St Moritz. If I find out one thing this year, it's going to be what Kissinger has for breakfast. Live eels snatched from a bucket? Or ducklings? Suddenly I'm imagining ducklings. And a mallet.

Malaysia's Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, on several occasions, spoke of Malaysia's intention to review the 1962 Water Agreement and the possibility of increasing the price of raw water supplied to Singapore by more than 10 times.
Commenting on the issue for the first time, Singapore Prime Minister Lee HsienLoong had on Aug 19 said : The water agreement is sacrosanct. We must proceed strictly in accordance with its terms.
Lee said that in his speech at the city-state's National Day Rally.
The 1962 Water Agreement was the second water pact signed by the republic with the State of Johor.
Under the agreement which will expire in 2061, Singapore is entitled to draw 250 million gallons of raw water from the Johor River daily at 3 sen (S$0.01) per thousand gallons.
In return, Johor is entitled to receive treated water up to five million gallons � or 2 per cent of the water supplied to Singapore � at 50 sen per thousand gallons.

I did to much module maintaining in the last days and so I thought to stick to the old XP rule, release often.
Somebody got to keep the PAUSE indexer busy. After having released GraphViz::ISA::Multi on tuesday (which after all is a fine module) twice cause a day of thinking about the code showed me some different algorithyms, I released both Curses::UI 0.8 and C::S::C 0.5 today. FREEDOM!! I didn't finish all the tests I planned for Curses::UI, but IMHO tests are something that grow and so I'll wait till the bugreports and test failures come in. After all it is a big step in my 2-steps-till-1.0 plan.
CPANPLUS::Shell::Curses doesn't have that many changes, it is kind of colorful now (maybe I'll release a halloween-acme version in orange) and can show readmes again which is nice. And of course, I test for pod…. Maybe I should drop the Author of modulemaker a mail to include it…
I'm still trying to find out how to release MPlayer.pm to CPAN, suggestions for a nice non TLNS are welcome.
As I mentioned in the subject, I got an awfull headache today, but I think that is in connection to me having to write Java at univeristy.
My next topic will be how to seem cleverer as you are, cause I voluntered for a talk at my local LUG and it will be about – guess what – Perl and I actually never gave a talk about a programming language, will be fun though.
Good night, release often and regularly

The Ethan Rustlers defeated the Sully Buttes Chargers 31-28 on Saturday night for the Class B girls state basketball championship. This was the lowest scoring game of the evening, but it had all the makings of an instant classic.
Ethan jumped out to an early lead, and after one quarter of play the Rustlers led Sully Buttes 11-4. Sully Buttes gained a little ground in the second quarter as Ethan only led by six at halftime, 21-15. Sully Buttes took control of the game in the third quarter, and through three periods of play Sully Buttes led Ethan 25-23. Much like the class AA game, this one also came down to the very end. Sully Buttes had an opportunity to tie the game with only seconds remaining, but they were unsuccessful on a three-point attempt.
Karly Gustafson led the Rustlers in points with nine, and she also attributed four rebounds. Ellie Hohn and Darbi Gustafson also scored eight points each for Ethan.
Sully Buttes only had three players score points for their team in this game. Chloe Lamb had 14 for the Chargers, Racquel Wientjes had 11, and Deidre Lamb put in three for Sully Buttes.
The Ethan Rustlers will go home as the 2015 Class B girls basketball champions.

I'm so blessed to know the people I do.
God has given me people in my life that confirm to me that HE is real. He uses people. I love to witness it. I love when He uses me too!
I have had conversations or experienced things with co-workers, friends, etc. that have helped me grow as a professional, as a friend and as a person. I thank God for these people so much!
The person I want to thank God for today (and whom I've thanked Him for several times in the last ten years) is my soon-to-be ex-boss, Scot Wright. I'm NOT brown-nosing here or trying to get any kind of points, you see, because he won't be the one "taking score" on our campus this year. (if there truly is some kind of point system anyway)
In the last ten years I've seen him grow as an administrator and a leader. I liked him pretty instantly as a boss and it didn't take much longer to figure out he is a great guy. He is a positive person, a dedicated person and what's really cool: A LIFE LONG LEARNER. ((You know I love to learn!)) I know that the life long learner thing is turning into quite the buzz word here lately, but he was one of these way before it was "cool." His character and personality is one of those that makes anyone like him quickly. He smiles, he laughs and definitely jokes around, but he can also be very serious and passionate about learning, leading and things that are important and vital to the well-being and education of our students.
Personally, he has been one of my greatest cheerleaders. He suggested I start this blog one summer and here I am a couple of years later with 737 posts and 346 followers, plus I created another blog for my class. He has encouraged me and helped me and supported me when he knew I needed it the most. He's made me feel super smart when others have judged me as a dumb art teacher. He's seen me cry and didn't make fun of me. (yay!) Not being able to go in his office this upcoming school year and just sit there and talk about whatever is what I'm most sad about. I won't be able to ask him questions about what form to fill out–a check request or purchase order (I never remember) OR ask advice about some crazy project my student council wants to try out. I won't be able to lose my keys and have him laugh at me OR gripe at him about the bathroom and how the toilet won't flush EVERYTHING and some people are totally against double flushing! Ew. HA! There have been quite a few times he's made me laugh so hard about something that I keep thinking about and laughing for days. I will surely miss all that.
BUT I do have to say…I'm so happy for Mr. Wright, his lovely wife and their two kiddos. I'm sure it's exciting to think of the opportunities he will have at his new job. His new place of employment will be fresh territory for him to share all the great attributes he possesses (that I've already mentioned…and more). His children, no doubt will do great at their new school. This move will be a wonderful adventure for all of them.
I'm so thankful that God allowed me to have him as my boss for ten WHOLE years. This man loves his family. He loves people. Most of all, and best of all, He loves God. It's so awesome to work for someone who loves God.
He kids around a little too much sometimes (he made me seriously cry when he took a joke to far one time, but that is for some other blog) and at times, it's hard to know when he's being serious, but when he told me he took a job at a different school, I knew he was not joking. When he called me today to thank me for being great (another reason he's great…he recognizes awesomeness…hehe), we agreed that staying in touch was important. Our girls are the same age and they will want to remain close, I'm sure. His wife is one of those people I can laugh out loud with at such crazy things (CHEWY!) no matter how long it's been since we've seen each other. We gotta have another "girl day" soon!
So, even though I'm saying good-bye to Mr. Wright, I'm saying HELLO SCOT! (may I call you Scot now?!?) haha! I know I probably could have the entire time, but I call everyone at work by their last name. I'm not even sure I can call him Scot!
I know God put this family in my family's life for purpose and again, I thank Him for it. This is NOT "good-bye" for real, this is just "I won't see your face everyday, but we will still be friends forever no matter what!" Haha! Sounds like we need to have some kind of blood pact now. We can skip that part.
I thank God for great people He has put in my life.
May God bless Mr. Wright and his family in all! ((GO REBELS! …had to do that))
Want to follow a great, super cool life long learner?
Check Scot out on twitter @scot_wright.
His profile pic has a canvas in the background I made for him: LEARN …cuz IT IS WHAT IT IS (had to put that in there…it's a total inside joke, sorry)

It is always disheartening for many freelancers on Upwork when a well-paying client finally ends a project. And worst still, if you solely depended on one client to pay the bills. This means they have to start bidding once more in order to catch the big fish. If you have experienced this before, then you should actually think of doing several projects concurrently to avoid any hiccups. As a new freelancer, this guide will help a great deal to avoid drought that can have a negative effect on your finances. The million dollar question that even experienced freelancers love to ask is, what is the next step to take?
It would be naive if you have one client that you solely depend on at all times. As a freelancer, you should be quite flexible in everything you do as you develop other skills. To begin with, make it a point that you have several clients from the word go. This is something that will buffer you in event the client unceremoniously closes the project. In fact, anything will not catch you as a surprise when you are well prepared.
It is highly recommended that you bid wisely on any given project, as this is something that will help you remain engaged for a long time. In this case, do not only bid on jobs that you see clients have spent x amount, but even on those that are yet to spend a single penny. These are the first-time clients who are waiting for the right fit. It is imperative for you to think of it as a gold mine - many have had their proposals accepted and worked with the same clients for years. If you have been avoiding such clients, you need to make a change of mindset.
There is nothing as important as having repeat clients as a freelancer who is just starting out. Remember, clients are the backbone of this industry and so having a good number is always beneficial. The trick here is to do a great job that guarantees positive results; and if a job is about to end, you can ask client if he/she want more help in other projects if available. What this means is that when you get a client, do not just do the job but ask and offer suggestion that can add value to given tasks.
On Upwork, there are many high-paying jobs that are sent directly to freelancers. The one thing that you will always enjoy with private invites is the fact that you can negotiate your rates upwards. Therefore, you are advised to have a killer-profile in place, and also ask clients to leave great rating for you. In as much as most clients send their job descriptions to the board, Upwork offers opportunities for private invites. These are the kind of clients who solely depend on the profile and rating - if you do well during the interviews, then you are good to go!
There are literally millions of freelancers today trying to break even in this industry, but only a few are making it to the 6-figure bracket. In this case, no one might know who you are, what you offer, and the value they can get. As a matter of fact, these are only but a few reasons why you should up your marketing strategy with Upwork profile being your number one weapon. You will realize that not any given time will you worry when one of the Upwork projects is ended.
It is imperative for you as a freelancer to enjoy your craft and at the same time, get the bills paid in time. This is only possible if you have a number of clients in your pipeline, and have better marketing strategies that will always ensure new clients. If you have been thinking of freelancing for the rest of your life, here are some tips for you to consider:
There is nothing as important as getting the right things done at the right time. On Upwork, there are thousands of jobs sent by clients who are looking for high quality work. Keep bidding and ensure that you do not compromise on solutions you are offering. As such, you will have consistent work for a pretty long time. Strategy is the main thing that separates top-notch freelancers from the rest. Therefore, be as professional as you can be at all times.
I am a freelance web designer, web developer and SEO specialist - one of the "Top Rated" web designers on Upwork. Living a digital nomad lifestyle, I love to explore the outdoors while doing some freelance jobs in between.

Can the UN prevent serious violations of human rights?29-11-2016
The United Nations was created to prevent human suffering and uphold human rights. While Member States have the primary responsibility for protecting the lives and rights of their populations, the UN is obliged to step in when countries are unable or unwilling to do so. However, as the UN has failed to stop the most serious situations of human rights violations and atrocities against civilians, including in Rwanda, Srebrenica and most recently Sri Lanka and Syria, the organisation has been forced to rethink its strategies.
The UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon launched the Human Rights up Front (HRuF) Initiative in 2013. It aims to ensure that the UN system takes early and effective action, as mandated by the Charter and UN resolutions, to prevent or respond to large-scale violations of human rights or international humanitarian law. It seeks a cultural change within the UN system to make human rights and the protection of civilians a system-wide core responsibility.
This seminar will discuss how the UN, Member States and civil society can work together to improve the response to situations of grave violations of human rights. In what way does the HRuF-initiative change UN operations? How can support for the initiative be strengthened among Member States? And how can the UN better interact and leverage civil society?
- Ben Majekodumni, Senior Human Rights and Political Affairs Officer at United Nations leading the HRuF initiative
- Eva Grambye, Deputy Executive Director, Head of Int'l Division, Danish Institute for Human Rights
- The discussion will be moderated by Kristian Fischer, Director, Danish Institute for International Studies
Tuesday 29 November 2016, 3:30-5:00 PM
UN City, Marmorvej 51, 2100 Copenhagen
For participation, please register on: http://HRuF29Nov2016.eventbrite.com
Entry is free. The event will be held in English.

Canonical Announcing New Business Plan Called "Ubuntu Business Desktop Remix"
Canonical Announcing New Business Plan Called "Ubuntu Business Desktop Remix". Ubuntu Business Desktop Remix is a new distribution from canonical based on Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot and is dedicated to government institutions and companies. It is a combination of free software applications, certified commercial apps, and Canonical's management solution .Ubuntu Business Desktop Remix aims is to give companies and institutions a free solution to save time and money while keeping productive.
Ubuntu Business Desktop Remix eliminate some Ubuntu's standard games, social networking tools, multimedia applications, development and sysadmin tools, and other software that organizations don't commonly support. Instead, it adds a handful of enterprise-relevant packages, such as VMware View.
Ubuntu Business Desktop Remix includes licensed proprietary software from the partner repository in the default installation, it can't be mirrored or freely redistributed like the conventional build. However, the business remix contains no secret sauce. All of the software that it includes can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Center by regular users in a standard build of the operating system.
As Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth explained about Ubuntu Business Desktop Remix:
"This remix takes the most common changes we've observed among institutional users and bundles them into one CD which can be installed directly or used as a basis for further customization. Before anyone gets all worked up and conspiratorial: everything in the remix is available from the standard Software Centre. Packages out, packages in. No secret sauce for customers only; we're not creating a RHEL, we already have an enterprise-quality release cadence called LTS and we like it just the way it is. This is a convenience for anyone who wants it. Having a common starting point, or booting straight into a business-oriented image makes it easier for institutional users to evaluate Ubuntu Desktop for their specific needs"
In this first release Ubuntu Business Desktop Remix includes Apps such Adobe Flash Plugin, VMware View, and the OpenJDK 6 Java run-time environment
If you have a small business and you want to try Ubuntu Business Desktop Remix, you can download Ubuntu Business Desktop Remix 32-bit x86 installation images are available for free download, but you'll need to register and agree to a license.

Creating content is tougher than it might initially appear. The web, social media newsfeeds, and pretty much all of the internet are overrun by content. It's hard to really stand out in this atmosphere. Because now practically everyone is creating content, it's hard to come up with unique topics as well. The next new thing quickly distracts web users too. So, how does a brand create content that actually attract users and drive web traffic? Consider the following suggestions for your answer:
Use Visuals
Web users are highly driven by imagery rather than text. No one really stops and reads anymore. If an article has an eye-catching image on the other hand, then people would stop and stare. Take the Facebook or Twitter feeds. Each is getting refreshed second by second with new posts and tweets. To grab attention on these ever changing platforms, use an image a user cannot ignore. Bright colors could also do the trick. However, the image must match the content. Don't leave users thinking that they might have been duped into clicking on a link. Neither users nor search engine and social media algorithms like that.
Get Help from the Experts
To know what exactly you could be doing better with your content marketing strategy, consult with expert marketers. Hire professionals from your regional area, like digital agencies in Dubai for the most relevant advice. If you are unable to do so, an expert might be able to reinvigorate your content strategy. Professional marketers are also well informed about the latest trends driving internet traffic. They will use that knowledge to improve your content. The results you get will very likely be worth the content you publish.
Mix It Up
Don't limit your content strategy just to articles, essays, and blog posts. Other materials, like infographics, have much better viral potential. So do produce a variety of content that's made up of articles, infographics, slide shows, images, and video. Expand your reach by thinking outside the box when it comes to content. However, as always, you must aim to make your content highly accurate as much as possible to engage users without getting marked as spam.
Create Video to Get Mobile Traffic
Smartphone users nowadays drive most of the web traffic. People on smartphones rarely read articles. The screens of handheld devices are really small, so it's hard to see text. Smartphone users largely prefer to look at photos and watch videos. So, you can greatly benefit from smartphone traffic by creating videos. It's not really hard if you invest in a good video editing software program. You can make videos out of the infographics and articles you produce. What matters is that the videos are interesting enough to grab attention.
Use Content Aggregator Sites
Don't limit your content promotion efforts just to social media sites. Use content aggregator siteslike Reddit, Digg, and StumbleUpon to find new audiences and users. These sites are also great to get the internet buzzing about yoru content.
Employ Emotional Triggers
You can really grab attention of users by creating headlines that trigger emotional responses like self worth, pride, sadness, or outrage. Catchy headlines that tug at the heartstrings of users have excellent viral potential. But be careful not to mislead with the headlines you use.
If your content plan is currently struggling, use the above methods to revitalize your strategy.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) April 02, 2014
Coming off the success of Orange County Fashion Week, South Florida-based Indie Soul proudly announces its runway show during Miami Fashion Week, the first international lineup of fashion shows dedicated to resort collections scheduled for May 15th through 18th. Fashion critics and influential buyers will view the 2015 styles from the bohemian luxury brand that was recently worn by supermodels Anastacia Ashley, Irina Shayk, Marloes Horst and Lauren Moller in the 50-year anniversary issue of Sports Illustrated magazine.
"As Miami Fashion Week rebrands itself into the official spotlight for designer resort and cruise collections, we are thrilled to be a key player in the reimagined vision that the new partners of the organization are executing," said Tim Gorgol, Creative Director, Indie Soul. "Our line is designed for the free-spirited woman who makes a grand yacht or poolside entrance, so this is the perfect opportunity to present the collection."
Gorgol, who launched the brand in 2013, employs a one of a kind hand-dying process that is executed by artisans in Peru and Colombia who specialize in the technique, which achieves the signature look of Indie Soul. To date, the brand is the only resort line utilizing this process, which ensures that no two pieces are identical, just like the women donning them.
In addition to critics with influential buying power, lovers of fine fashion will view the brand and be inspired to participate in Project Bikini, a contest for guest designers to create a swimsuit that will bear the winner's name on the label and be sold in the Indie Soul flagship store and newly launched website. With a firsthand look into the core of the brand to guide their design process, fashion aficionados who see the Indie Soul concept in motion may have greater chances of becoming the chosen collaborator.
About Indie Soul
Miami-based Indie Soul is a global, luxury bohemian clothing and accessories brand specializing in swimwear, cover-ups and dresses. Since its recent launch in 2013, the brand has already been featured in key shows including Mercedes-Benz Swim Week and Paris City Mode.
Led by Creative Director Tim Gorgol, the brand captures the bohemian essence through its one of a kind product creation process. Crafted from the finest silk and individually hand-dyed by the indigenous artisans of Peru and Colombia, Indie Soul's technique ensures that no two pieces are identical. To date, Indie Soul remains the only brand to utilize the technique.
