Libertas launch in Britain as Ganley appoints neocons to Rivada board

General Charles Ronald Llewelyn Guthrie, Baron Guthrie of Craigiebank, GCB, LVO, OBE, DL,
ex-Chief o/t Defense Staff; ex-Chief o/t General Staff; Non-executive Director of NM Rothschild & Sons
appointed to Ganley's Rivada board. strong supporter of "surprise war" ( which is forbidden by UN charter) and the US Iraq war and the US UK War on Terror.

Britain braces itself for a dose of ganley this week. Already over the weekend he has appeared on BBC's Politics Show, today Sky News's Europe Correspondent Greg Milam's blogs about Ganley's arrival noting:

An announcement is due tomorrow. Ganley says it is the way to build a bigger collective of those who are happy enough to be in Europe but feel the treaty hands over too much power to Brussels.

But it isn’t going to be easy. Libertas is embroiled in numerous controversies across Europe as it tries to assemble a network of candidates.

It has already denied offering money to Swedish Eurosceptic party Junilistan if it changed its name to ‘Junilistan-Libertas’.

And as it launches Libertas spin-offs in countries like Germany and Slovakia, there have been questions about funding and registration. Libertas itself has lashed out at Brussels, accusing it of a dirty tricks campaign.

The timing might not be good for Ganley

This week also saw the announcement of Ganley's appointment of former US Air Force General Richard Myers, and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under George W. Bush's from 2001-2005 to the board of Declan Ganley's private military contracting firm, Rivada.

Myers currently serves as an external adviser to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). This will no doubt reintroduce the issues raised about Ganley's campaign, personal and party finaces yet again. questions were raised last year inthe Eu parliamnet about Ganley's links with neocons and the CIA.
The CIA denied funding Libertas.
Libertas also denied they got CIA funds.

But where is Ganley getting 1 mil euros to offer to a Swedish partry? 1 mil plus for his No campaign in Ireland and whatver he is using to buy politiacl supporters in 27 EU states?

Who is paying for the salaries of Libertas employees like Lt. Col. Robin Matthews and former head of Europol Kevin O'Connell.

It would appear that Libertas are throwing millions of euros around. where did this cash come from? Libertas would maintain that it is all small donations from the paypal buttons on their official site. However a pan EU party with only 888 members on Facebook it is hard for an outsider to have confidence in the veracity the Libertas line.

The question, how much have you been paid? must also be asked of politicians who have joined with Libertas as the Swedish incident last week gives a disturbing insight into how Libertas get their supporters behind them (or not in the case of the whistleblowers at Junilistan).

Britains should be more worried about the appointment of their former top military man Baron Gurthrie to Ganley's Rivada board. Ganley now has two of the worlds most senior militray men from the recent past working for him in a private capacity.

What next?

"Where do you see for five years? Chcete byť europoslancom alebo írskym premiérom? To be an MEP, or the Irish prime minister?

„Nechcem byť írskym premiérom. "I do not want to be Irish Prime Minister. Dúfam, že o päť rokov sa budem môcť pozrieť dozadu a uvidím, že Libertas si svoju úlohu splnila. I hope that in five years I can look back and see that Libertas has fulfilled its role. Že ľuďom bude ležať na srdci demokracia, zodpovednosť a transparentnosť v Bruseli. That people will lie at the heart of democracy, accountability and transparency in Brussels.
Ak to dokážeme, únia bude oveľa silnejšia, dôveryhodnejšia a rešpektovanejšia na celom svete. If we, the Union will be much stronger, more credible and rešpektovanejšia worldwide. Chcem z Bruselu dostať lobistov a dať tam namiesto nich ľudí. I want to get from Brussels lobbyists and give them there instead of people."

Gute Beziehungen zum CIA

Schon die Anfänge der erfolgreichen Unternehmer-Karriere liegen im Dunkeln. Der Sohn irischer Gastarbeiter in England habe bereits mit 13 Jahren 18 Stunden am Tag Torf gestochen, "90 Lkw-Ladungen in einem Sommer", erzählte er selbst in einem Fernsehinterview. Mit 19 kam ihm die Idee, westliche Forschungssatelliten mit russischen Raketen ins All zu schießen und das Ganze lukrativ versichern zu lassen. In anderen Versionen handelte er sich mit Aluminium aus Sibirien reich oder verdiente beim Verkauf eines gewaltigen Holzimperiums 100 Millionen Dollar. Niemand weiß, ob irgend etwas davon stimmt. Klar ist nur: Schon in jungen Jahren wurde er zum Multimillionär.

Dabei lernte er offenbar viele wichtige Leute aus der Administration in Washington kennen, Don De Marino zum Beispiel. Der war beim damaligen Präsidenten Ronald Reagan für die wirtschaftlichen Beziehungen zwischen den USA und Saudi Arabien zuständig. Später, unter Präsident George Bush Senior, wechselte er ins Handelsministerium, 2004 kam er ins Verteidigungsressort. Dazwischen war er Direktor bei Ganleys Firma.

Ein Investmentfonds Ganleys, der "Anglo-Adriatic-Investment-Fund", residiert in London in der Mount Street 128. Dort sitzt zufällig auch die europäische Repräsentanz des US-Investmentfonds Paladin Capital. Und der Vorsitzende in dessen "Advisory Board" ist ein guter Bekannter Ganleys, James Woolsey, Ex-Chef des US-Geheimdienstes CIA.

Auch bei den neokonservativen Intellektuellen in Washington ist Declan Ganley gut angesehen. Als er zum Beispiel am 15. Juli im "Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom" der extrem konservativen Polit-Stiftung "The Heritage Foundation" auftrat, wurde er von Gastgeberin Sally MacNamara ob seiner Leistungen beim irischen "Nein" zum EU-Vertrag als "moderner Friedenskämpfer" bejubelt.
