1972. Exotic animal "industry" is acknowledged and oversight (if you can call it that) is hoisted onto the USDA. Paperwork and reporting are regulated by the honor system.
1972- Watergate, during which time the FBI begins to investigate the origins of the money that ended up in the pockets of the Whitehouse Plumbers. CIA Director George HW Bush is described as "shitting himself assholes" over the matter because he is concerned that a corporate cascade he has created will be exposed. Safari Club is started by members of the intelligence community who say they are concerned that America is too distracted by Watergate to effectively maintain intelligence operations that can keep the world safe. Exotic animal "industry",which gets it's animal from circuses and zoos - long known to be connected to intelligence operations, grows and grows.....unchecked, unmonitored, unregulated. Virtually no one knows what it is and how it actually works. 1984. George HW Bush is Vice President. National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, a non-profit, is established by Congress. Check the website to see the heavy involvement of oil companies. Offices are located in Washington, DC, Minnesota and Oregon. 2002. Corporate cascade involving exotic animals is identified. HQ is Washington, DC - links to Africa and Guam. Top layer was to be destination resorts called Great Cat Resorts, Inc. This organization was tied to Great Cats of Nevada, which merged with Cougar Hill Sanctuary Association. Tiger Missing Link was "linked" to this group, as were several individual sanctuaries that were selected to become part of the Great Cats organization. The facility in Racine, MN, owned and operated by Ken and Nancy Kraft, was to be #1. Following GCR's back, we found mergers/expansion in 1994 and 1998. The future development of Kraft's was announced in 1998. They began implementing their plans in 2001, but incompetence with regard to containing their animals and law enforcement's blatant falsification of reports to protect the shell brought undue attention. Their response? More abuse. That's just little of what we're looking at, but the question we are asking is, "Where did they come up with the name Safari Club and is it perhaps linked to GHWB's embedding of his corporate cascade within the USDA's APHIS exotic animal licensing program?" We have CIA operatives, federal informants in abundance, Dept. of Treasury personnel, FBI, defense contractors, failure on the part of any law enforcement to interview witnesses, money laundering, narcotics trafficking (witnessed), AK47 sales, defense contractors who own/operate exotic animal facilities with no prior experience (USDA requirement is 2 yrs. experience.....?) confirmed phone taps, computer hacking, surveillance, document and evidence recovery aka theft when inconvenient information was obtained, human/sex trafficking.....and numerous members of the original club come to Minnesota for their healthcare. Where did Safari Club get it's name? (the intelligence group - which is as defunct as Cali cocaine cartel and Iran-Contra distribution routes)
