International Center for Missing & Exploited Children -- Clinton -- CIA -- Koons -- and more (pizzagate)

submitted 7.5 years ago by chabon

Was looking into ICMEC/NCMEC yesterday and found excellent research that doesn't seem to have gotten a lot of attention.

@ShockDoctrine101 did a LOT of excellent deeper-pass dot connection 9 months ago: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1658938 Many leads here.

For those wondering about the Clinton connection, here's a photo & history from ICMEC launch in 1999: https://www.icmec.org/history/ I agree with other researchers who suggest that the ICMEC was indeed formed in response to the Dutroux Horror -- the elite nearly lost control of that one, with 300,000 people protesting for justice for the children.

@bumbleberries posted about the CIA connection to ICMEC here: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1639553

@rebelskum did a deeper pass on Jeff Koons (and more) here: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1829566 and on steemit: https://steemit.com/pizzagate/@rebelskum/meet-jeff-koons-artist-icmec-champion-for-children-and-child-molester

@Littleredcorvette looked into ICMEC's VIC program -- ICMEC became the clearinghouse of all CP worldwide, and developed an elaborate tracking system: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1651918 Here's an archived page showing VICs "success" http://archive.is/2EOx4

My own poking around about ICMEC board members turned up these tidbits:

Maura Harty, President and CEO of ICMEC, worked in Bill Clinton's State Department in the early 90s, where she co-founded the Office of Children's Issues. The wiki on the OCI mentions these "controversies"

In 2002 parents of internationally abducted children characterized the Office of Children's of allowing deference to foreign leaders and laws to trump OCI’s vigilant pursuit of the interests of U.S. citizens. Patricia Roush,the mother of daughters abducted to Saudi Arabia, characterized her interactions with the State Department and Office of Children's Issues as demonstrating “indifference bordering on hostility,” Dismissing the Office as “merely another data collecting, do-nothing, play-dead-at-the-wheel section of the federal government." Maureen Dabbagh, mother of a daughter abducted to Syria, used the Freedom of Information Act to acquire her OCI files and was shocked by “page after page of slanderous, insulting comments made about me and comments trivializing my case.”

In 2003, Joel Mowbray, the journalist credited with exposing the still running "Visa Express" program of the U.S. State Department long after it allowed the entry of at least 15 of the 18 hijackers of 9/11 wrote the book "Dangerous Diplomacy" on the role and culture of the U.S. State Department. Mowbray's second chapter in "Dangerous Diplomacy", titled "Cold Shoulder: State's Smallest Victim's", is dedicated to an analysis of the assistance provided to American parents left in the wake of an international child abduction. It describes State's overriding desire to appease foreign governments and maintain "good relations" as having a conflict of interest between their responsibility to internationally abducted children as the designated United States Central Authority under the Hague Convention. This inherent conflict of interest between the two roles is magnified by what the book defines as the "culture of state", a culture characterized by extreme moral relativism, valuing process over substance and misplaced priorities that reward failures by promotions or high paying jobs "consulting" for the foreign government of the country that they'd previously been paid to advocate America's interests in.

Board member Anne-Marie Lizin (now deceased) was caught in the 1980s trying to “get three children back to Belgium” from North Africa -- who had “been abducted by their father” — she was using false passports. https://www.expatica.com/be/news/country-news/Former-Huy-mayor-deliberately-hit-successors-car_164551.html

And board member Patty Wetterling, who started the Jacob Wetterling Resource Foundation four months after the disappearance of her son, recently wrote in opposition to sex-offender registries. Perhaps the registries were working for them in the beginning -- helping them to locate likeminded people -- but they've since become a nuisance? https://web.archive.org/web/20080214170401/http://www.sacbee.com/110/story/377462.html

Original Post - Part 3

This is Part 3 in a series investigating the ICMEC and its potential connections to Pizzagate/Pedogate.

Previously, we have seen the deep ties between the ICMEC/NCMEC and the IT industry as well as the pharmaceutical industry. In part 3, we will explore the political connections of the power elite who are on the board of directors at the ICMEC. In particular, we’ll investigate the connections between the Dutroux Case and the ICMEC.

History of the ICMEC

According to their webpage, the ICMEC was created in response to the public outcry surrounding the Dutroux Scandal. An estimated 300,000 Belgian citizens took to the streets to protest the crimes and the handling of the investigation.

https://i.imgtc.com/VYlkySv.png

Disclaimer: Any accusations of guilt are completely speculative and I’m not accusing any of the members of the ICMEC board of crimes. I’m simply showing the connections that exist between the powerful and well connected who make up the board of directors.

ICMEC, Ambassadors and the State Department

Let’s begin by profiling a few key members of the ICMEC’s board of directors:

Hillary Rodham Clinton (HRC)

– Co-Founder of the ICMEC in 1998, former First Lady of the US, Former US Secretary of State from 2009-2013, 2016 Democratic candidate for US President, member of the Council on Foreign Relations

Elizabeth Frawley Bagley

– Top-tier DNC Bundler (Fundraiser), US State Department 2009-2017, Former Ambassador to Portugal, Senate Liaison for NATO Expansion 1994-1997, US representative to UNGA, widow of Smith Bagley heir to R.J. Reynolds Tobacco fortune (also formerly a Top-tier DNC bundler), member of the Council on Foreign Relations

Maura Harty

– Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affair at the US State Department 2003-2008, Foreign Service Officer, President & CEO of ICMEC 2014-present

Ambassadors Linked to the US State Department

• Anthony Luzzatto Gardner – EC Ambassador (in Belgium) • Howard Gutman – Top-tier DNC Bundler, US Ambassador to Belgium 2009-2013, Allegations of soliciting sex from minors as Ambassador (See - https://steemit.com/pizzagate/@v4vapid/clinton-state-department-cover-up-of-pedophilia))

Rewarding top-tier bundlers with ambassadorships is a common practice in politics. As a successful fundraiser for the Obama campaign, Howard Gutman was appointed US ambassador to Belgium in 2009.

Gutman was a popular ambassador among those he came in to contact with during his tenure in Brussels from 2009-2013. Gutman’s honeymoon with the Belgian public abruptly ended when it was revealed that he had attempted to solicit sex from a minor in a public park. Despite the accusations, Gutman unequivocally denied the claims and stayed on as Ambassador completing his term.

Missing Children Europe

http://missingchildreneurope.eu/

https://i.imgtc.com/LFXdhGk.png

Missing Children Europe is an umbrella organization that incorporates dozens of child advocacy groups spanning across Europe.

Belgian Ties

One of the central personalities at the ICMEC is the Baron Daniel Cardon de Lichtbuer (Cardon). Cardon was the first president of the organization. Mr. Cardon is deeply involved in a plethora of organizations dealing with missing, abused and exploited children.

Cardon spent his entire career in the Belgian banking world and has been a long-time member of the business community. His banking career started at Bank Brussels Lambert (BBL), where he eventually became CEO. He belongs to the Brussels business association known as: Le Circle de Lorrain.

https://i.imgtc.com/3TcAOHk.jpg

Cardon was selected as the ICMEC’s first president (1998) and has served on the board of directors since its inception. To receive the title of ‘Baron’ in Belgium is akin to being ‘lorded’ / ‘sired’ in the UK. It is an honor bestowed by the monarch for service and achievement. King Albert II awarded the title of “Baron” to Daniel Cardon in 1998.

As we will see, both King Albert II and Baron Daniel Cardon de Lichtbuer are named in the Dutroux Scandal and cover-up. King Albert is identified by a witness as being present at a gathering described as a ‘hunt of children”. It's unclear if the witness was referring to King Albert I or King Albert II. The Baron however, is not named as being involved in the sexual abuse of children but he was involved in the cover-up.

(Source: To be added shortly)

This is intriguing, the wife of the King, Queen Poala, and a wealthy banker baron both emerging as champions of abused children, acquiring lead roles in the new international organization while at the same time being intimately linked to an accused in the Dutroux Scandal.

Not only that, but the Baron suddenly takes on a leading role in Belgium’s own child advocacy organization Child Focus (1998) and later with greater Europe’s equivalent; Missing Children Europe (2001). But that’s not all, he's also a board member at Italy’s children's foundation Foundazione Child who’s president and founder, Ernesto Caffo, also happens to be a member of the ICMEC board of directors. Furthermore, Cardon is also identified as being part of the support committee of several other children’s organizations: Kids’ Care and the Belgian Kid’s Fund.

Now, perhaps it’s unfair to cast the Baron Cardon in such poor light, as his involvement with these organizations may truly be altruistic. Besides, he's a Baron. A man ‘lorded’ by the highest order of the country and a respected pillar of the Brussels business community. A reputable organization such as Le Cercle de Lorrain surely would never allow their ranks to be filled by scoundrels and degenerates, would they?

Le Cercle de Lorraine

https://i.imgtc.com/vU1wbKW.png

Le Cercle de Lorraine was established in Brussels in 1998 and is an association of businessmen from across the city and throughout the country.

A few notable foreign members of the Cercle de Lorraine include:

US Ambassador Anthony Luzzatto Gardner

https://i.imgtc.com/q0rCvr4.png

Qatari Ambassador to Belgium Ali Jassim T. J. Al-Thani

UAE Ambassador to Belgium Sulaiman Hamid Almazoui

https://i.imgtc.com/AnXLs2Y.png

Incredibly, members of the business association Le Cercle de Lorraine have also been implicated in the Dutroux Scandal and subsequent cover-up. There are several members of the organization that were identified as pedophiles and child rapists.
