In 2001 a small group of citizens in SE Minnesota began following threads from exotic animal "sanctuaries" to larger non-profit business ventures, and eventually uncovered a corporate cascade that linked zoos, false front "sanctuaries", supposed research facilities (they do not exist).....to something the government was going to create called, Great Cat Resorts. Headquarters was Washington, DC. One "resort" would be put in each of the 50 states, and this would be linked to existing enterprises in Johannisburg, South Africa and Guam. This was reported, of course, to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, FBI and IRS. These agencies took one look at what had been discovered....and promptly buried the information while putting residents on NSA watch lists. As time passed and more information became available, intrepid citizens found links from individuals in this group to the CIA (Colonel Terry Markham/General Michael Ennis), defense contractors with Lockheed Martin and BAE, local and county law enforcement officials, the Cali drug cartel (which appears to be a CIA strawman for Medellin), and the Kosher Nostra, which is allegedly Alvin Malnik, whose son married into the Saudi Royal Family.
I write this, again, because it might shed some light on the significance of the following article, significance and facts that are little known - which is partly why the exploitation works so well. Introducing the money laundering apparatus of GHWB's Safari Club - exotic animals. (And now the name makes sense.) http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/21/world/americas/21briefs-ZOOPARTYGOER_BRF.html?ref=world Mexico: Zoo Partygoers Put Behind Bars By ELISABETH MALKIN Published: October 20, 2008 A hilltop mansion on the outskirts of Mexico City with its own small zoo of lions, tigers and panthers was the site of a private party over the weekend that ended suddenly when the federal police raided the event and arrested 15 people. Among the revelers was Teodoro Fino Restrepo, a Colombian citizen who Mexican authorities say was in charge of shipping half a ton of Colombian cocaine a month by sea to the Mexican drug cartel run by the Beltrán Leyva brothers. At least six other partygoers, all Colombian citizens, were involved with the trafficking organization, officials on the staff of Mexico’s attorney general said.
