Exclusive  Brethren

Comment by Larry Ross, November 26, 2006

You may remember ex-CIA agent Ralph McGeehee who toured NZ for us back in the 80's. He said, and books by ex-CIA people also confirm that the CIA often uses right-wing religious groups like EBs as a cover to channel funds to groups in countries the CIA wants to influence. In NZ we do know the US wants to get rid of NZ N-Free legislation and get NZ back on track sending NZ troops to US wars and hosting their warships. So it makes sense to suspect that perhaps the CIA has a role in supplying money and direction to NZ EBs for this purpose.

Also, a million dollars is a lot of money. I question whether EBs have that kind of money to throw around. I also question whether this normally cloistered, non-political sect would have the motivation within themselves to take on a big action like this. I read in The Sunday Times that they want a biblically-prophesied doomsday. But do they want it that much? I haven't read Nicky Hager's book yet (as of 26/11/06) to see if he mentioned a possible CIA link. If not, perhaps there is another story here too. 

You can imagine Kiwi reaction if it is found the CIA is channeling funds through the EBs to get votes for the National Party, to influence NZ nuclear free policy and get rid of it "by lunchtime" as Brash promised two visiting US Senators. The publicity would be large in NZ, and probably get coverage in Australia and even in the U.S.

It would be such a plausible thing for the CIA to do, particularly if they were acting on the orders of neoconservatives high in the Bush Administration. You may remember it was these same neoconservatives who were so angry when NZ went nuclear free and banned US nuclear ships in 1984. These people would now have the power to order such action.

As I said, I haven't the proof yet. But perhaps readers might have further information on the issue, or think it is worth investigating. 

So please circulate this article and suggest to those who receive it, that they also consider forwarding it to potentially interested people.

Exclusive Brethren at it again

from The Greens frogblog, November 24, 2006

 

There's a certain irony in that while papers in New Zealand devote their first few pages to the demise of Don, across the Tasman the Melbourne Age leads with a story about Exclusive Brethren involvement in the Victoria state elections.
It's the same old stuff. The EBs have taken out advertising in the Age and the Herald Sun attacking the Greens.
So what is the problem with the Exclusive Brethren campaigning ...
