Greenberg Quinlan Rosner https://www.prisonplanet.com/new-evidence-suggests-seth-rich-was-dnc-leaker.html

March 2012  Rich came to Washington from his hometown Omaha, Nebraska, to work as a Research Data Associate for the Greenberg Quinlan, Rosner, a Democratic Party political operative organization that posed as an opinion research and public  relations firm.

The background for Rich’s hire involved a meeting arranged by Democratic Party operative Amy Dacey (subsequently CEO of the DNC from January 2014 until August 2016), attended by John Podesta and Progressive Insurance billionaire Peter Lewis, on Sept. 27, 2007, in New York City at the Fifth Avenue offices of the Soros Fund Management, followed by dinner at the Fifth Avenue home of George Soros.

While reporting for WND, I investigated Greenberg, Quinlan, Rosner in 2010. Here is what I found:

  1. Emanuel lived for five years rent-free in an apartment owned by Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., and her husband, Stanley Greenberg, whose consulting firm was a prime architect in BP’s efforts to recast itself as a “green” corporation and recipient of hundreds of thousands of dollars awarded through a committee chaired by Emanuel.

  2. The Greenberg Quinlan Rosner (GQR) consulting “helped BP plan and evaluate its successful re-branding campaign, focusing the company’s branding on energy solutions, including the development of solar and other renewable energy sources,” according to a webpage that has since been removed from the GQR website.

  3. Greenberg Quinlan Rosner’s research also contributed to a $200 million advertising campaign in which British Petroleum attempted to shorten its name to “BP” and redesign its corporate insignia to emphasize a “Beyond Petroleum” theme.

  4. Critics have characterized the BP advertising campaign prompted by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner research as “greenwashing,” a process in which corporations disingenuously portray their efforts as fitting into a politically correct, “green,” environment-oriented sensitivity to alternative energy.

  5. Greenberg Quinlan Rosner is also tied heavily to the Democratic Party, as it created a sister political consulting company named “GCS,” an acronym based on the last names of the principals – Stanley Greenberg of GQR, James Carville, the long-term adviser of Bill Clinton, and Bob Schrum, the campaign manager for Sen. John Kerry’s unsuccessful 2004 presidential campaign.

Emanuel served as chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which gave Greenberg polling contracts worth $239,996 in 2006 and $317,775 in 2008.

In 2011, GQR was hired by Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga, a self-proclaimed communist who had accompanied then Sen. Barack and Michelle Obama in their 2006 tour of Kenya, setting the stage for Obama’s 2008 presidential run.

The Democracy Alliance was launched after the 2004 election by Soros, the late insurance mogul Peter Lewis, and a handful of fellow Democratic mega-donors who had combined to spend tens of millions trying to boost then-Sen. John Kerry’s ultimately unsuccessful challenge to then-President George W. Bush.

Democracy Alliance: This self-described “liberal organization” aims to raise $200 million to develop a funding clearinghouse for leftist groups. Soros is a major donor to this group.

Billionaire Melvin Simon, who started what became America’s largest shopping mall company and who was part owner of the NBA’s Indiana Pacers, died earlier this month at 82.

Simon was a big contributor to the Democratic Party.

He is survived by his wife, Bren Simon, who is a member of the George Soros-led Democracy Alliance. The Democracy Alliance is a donors’ collaborative that funds think tanks, media outlets, and activist groups on the left.

Mrs. Simon is president of MBS Associates LLC, a property management and development firm.

Casa de Campo, Dominican Republic.... in regards to Clintons et. al.

NY Social Diary "Notes from Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic" 2006 (includes entry on orphanage "Campo Nueva Esperanza") http://archive.is/QsM18

The Simons, in from Indianapolis, and Emilia and Pepe Fanjul flew down from Palm Beach with Pauline Pitt, Jamie Niven, Lillian Fernandez (Alfy's daughter) and Jim Mitchell, and gave a dinner at "Casa Grande," the Fanjul compound at Casa de Campo.Rolando Gonzalez-Bunster gave a fundraising dinner for former President Bill Clinton, at his house in Casa de Campo, which benefited President Clinton's AIDS foundation and the Clinton Library.**

Have to interrupt this nice narrative to introduce Rolando Gonzalez-Bunster, who is/was on CF board of directors and on Energy and Climate Committee of CGI https://www.clintonfoundation.org/about/board-directors http://archive.is/dK7Up

Rolando Gonzalez-Bunster is the chairman and chief executive officer of InterEnergy Holdings. Prior to founding InterEnergy, he founded and managed InterEnergy's predecessor, Basic Energy Ltd. (Bahamas), a holding company that owned and operates electrical generation and distribution assets in the Dominican Republic, Panama and Jamaica.

Rolando is a pioneer of the electric sector of the Dominican Republic, being credited with the signing of the country's first state utility PPA, as well as being one of the key participants in the privatization of the state controlled electricity businesses. His track record in the country dates back to the late 1980's, when he developed the country's first barge mounted power plant in partnership with Seaboard Corporation. Since then, Rolando has successfully developed, acquired and managed over 1,500MW of generating capacity in the Dominican Republic, Argentina, Jamaica and Panama. In addition to overseeing the management of all group operating companies, he led all significant aspects of project development, financing and the relationship with governments and multilateral organizations such as the World Bank's International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).

Prior to founding Basic Energy, Rolando was the international vice president of New York-based multi-billion dollar conglomerate Gulf & Western Industries Inc., reporting directly to Chairman and CEO Charles Bludhorn.

Rolando is the chair of the International Initiatives Committee of Georgetown University, a member of the Latin American Board of Georgetown University, and serves on the Board of Advisors of the Georgetown College of Arts and Sciences, his alma matter. He is also a member of the Board of Directors of the Clinton Foundation, and the Energy & Climate Committee of the Clinton Global Initiative, focusing on clean and renewable energies.

Further to this, Rolando is a member of the Institute of the Americas as well as serving on the board of The Walkabout Foundation – a non-profit organization focused on funding research to find a cure for paralysis and donating wheelchairs to people in need around the world.

Okay back to Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic, 2006....

Emilia and Pepe and Rolando Bunster's dinner started the week-long festivities. President Clinton played golf with Mel Simon and George Hamilton and then flew to Haiti for a fundraising dinner for his AIDS foundation.

There was a tribute to Bren Simon from the city of La Romana at the city hall, where Bren was presented with a citation honoring her work with the children of the Dominican Republic. Bren and Lian Fanjul Azqueta started an orphanage for boys called "Campo Nueva Esperanza.” ...Bren is also building a nursing school, a dental school, and a laboratory for the girls which will be finished in the fall of 2003.

...The MIR Foundation (Mission International Rescue) also helps support the orphanage and the vocational school. http://casadecampoliving.com/the-fundacion-mir/ https://www.mircharities.org/ (probably a whole thread within there, haven't had time to look) Some info about Mel and Bren Simon: (besides the fact that she is part of Democracy Alliance, Soros funded group) http://www.brensimon.com/bren-simon/

Mrs. Simon and her foundations have underwritten some of the most significant healthcare projects of recent decades, including the Mel and Bren Simon Cancer Center at Indiana University, the Joshua Max Simon Primary Care Center of St. Vincent’s Hospital in Indianapolis, and a state-of-art Digestive Diseases Center at UCLA. In addition to directing the Melvin and Bren Simon Charitable Foundation & Joshua Max Simon Charitable Foundation, Mrs. Simon personally supports numerous local and national organizations including The Children’s Bureau, The Aspen Institute’s Society of Fellows, and the Indianapolis Museum of Art, along with many cultural and philanthropic programs and community wellness centers.

Under Mrs. Simon’s direction, the Melvin and Bren Simon Foundation has provided substantial resources to the National Democratic Institute. (Banned from Russia, no doubt because it's a subversive, politically destabilizing, Open Borders style Soros funded group, seeking to interfere with elections and topple governments..imho because) it's really not 'national' but global: "National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that works with partners in developing countries to increase the effectiveness of democratic institutions.

A significant percentage of those resources have been allocated to numerous groups supporting women’s political participation domestically and globally.

Mrs. Simon is the current CEO of MBS Associates, LLC and former owner of Corporate Design Associates, Inc. She attended the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and Florida Atlantic University. She has also earned honorary degrees from Northwood University in Florida and Indiana University. MBS Associates, LLC was founded in 1999. The Company's line of business includes real estate investment trusts and related mortgage assets.
