Hmm, I noticed that a woman mentioned in the video, Cheri Lynch, at this mark owns a massage parlor in Jupiter, Florida. That is the same town that Robert Kraft, John Havens of Citigroup and John Childs founder of J.W. Childs Associates were all busted for paying for 'favors' at another massage parlor. Probably could use more digging.

Damn. I completely missed this post. Been too deep into my own dive as you well know.

Deborah Bond-Upson, M.Div., Chief Education Officer Intrepid education innovator,

Deborah Bond-Upson, has been writing stories all her life. At Swarthmore College, she was an English Literature major and taught in West Philadelphia schools.

After graduation she embarked on an MFA in painting and ceramics in Mexico before beginning seminary at Starr King School for the Ministry.

An ordained minister, Deborah has found her work in education, building networks to support students and teachers. Much of Deborah's work over the past 30+ years has been in using story, media and assessment to engage students and individualize learning.

Deborah has served as VP of Product Development at Kaplan, later EVP at Knowledge Universe, and founding CEO of Teacher Universe, Best Practice Networks and lead the online development of GALAXY Classroom.

In all of these learning organizations, Deborah has worked closely with teachers, students, staff and developers, convening in-person and online conferences. She has worked with scientists, screenwriters, producers, technical developers and public broadcasting to build and deliver story-driven, hands-on science curriculum and teacher professional development for K-6, with career technical teachers and administrators to build a full range of high school blended learning courses, and has developed assessments and courses funded by state legislators and delivered state-wide.

Awesome Stories is the perfect marriage, Deborah feels, of technology, evidence and story. Most exciting is the potential to take fiction and non-fiction stories and support them with evidence, creating a model for teachers and students to research and build their own learning experiences. Technology can finally fuel investigation and creation for teachers, students and families. Awesome Stories provides the platform to facilitate this exciting creative work.

husband Leland

Both Unitarian Universalist ministers, for years we worked together in education before I began serving the Petaluma Unitarian Universalist Congregation as their regular preacher.

Ten years ago we moved from California to Miami to work on her company’s education initiative, delivering inquiry-based science to district teachers and students. For the first year, we developed and delivered online and personal tutoring for migrant children in agriculture camps of south Florida. It was illuminating and enriching to work with the families. After successfully piloting the science program in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, we moved back to California and I began my preparation for interim ministry.

My first interim church was the First Unitarian Church of Honolulu. My wife and I loved it there. She found she was able to do her education work from Hawaii, so she has stayed there ever since. She works from there with mainland and Hawaii educators and co-founded Parents for Public Schools-Hawaii. She maintains our family home on Oahu, visiting me on the mainland, and I am there as I am able. Since then I have served UU congregations in Fayetteville, AR; Bellingham, WA; Santa Barbara, CA, Vancouver, WA, and the Piedmont Unitarian Universalist Church in Charlotte NC

What if Obama was adopted through WAIF?

https://www.thepostemail.com/2009/10/20/new-evidence-points-to-obama-adoption-%E2%80%94-waif-program/

STAR HOSTS BENEFIT IN HONOLULU EXACTLY 9 MONTHS BEFORE BIRTH — Nov. 4, 1960 by John Charlton

(Oct. 20, 2009) — Sometimes important facts are discovered on account of curious inquiries. Circumstances to important invents also often shed light for investigators into the past. In the course of an investigation into the circumstances of Obama’s alleged birth, The Post & Email stumbled upon what might be the magic key.

International Adoption program launched in Hawaii 9 months to-the-day before Obama “born”

At the beginning of Nov, 1960, The Chicago Tribune reports that the film ‘Bridge to the Sun’ Is Ready for Filming. The lead actress (Caroll Baker?), the paper notes, will go to Honolulu, Hawaii, to give a WAIF benefit performance on Nov. 4, 1960, the very day, one supposes, that Barack Hussein Obama is allegedly conceived! [Note, the tribune page is no longer accessible]

Miss Russell championed the passage of the Federal Orphan Adoption Amendment of 1953, which allowed, for the first time, children of American servicemen born overseas to be placed for adoption in the United States The ensuing years have allowed single parents to adopt, for children to be moved across state lines for adoptive placement, and most recently, the implementation of the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act which mandates the reform of the adoption and foster care system in all 50 states.

Proxy adoptions revealed how inadequate federal policy was in dealing with family-making across national borders. Until passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1961, which incorporated international adoption, the migration of foreign-born children to the U.S. had no place in permanent law.

Such an adoption program would explain the known anomalies about Obama’s birth story:

1. His personal claim of different birth times and places.

2. His mother’s ability to attend college and support a newborn.

3. His mother’s ability to travel to Washington State immediately after birth, yet not know how to change a diaper.

4. Barrack Hussein Obama Sr.’s indifference to the child, who was supposedly his son.

5. News reports and statements of friends that he was born in Kenya, Indonesia and/or Hawaii.

6. Dr. Fukino’s statement in July, that there are “vital records”, in the plural, which establish his birth facts. (Hawaii law seals original certificate and regards the new one generated for adopted parents as the real one; repleat with a new birth place and date of birth, ostensibly.)

7. The famous, baby Obama on a blanket photo, without parents; in the style used in adoption records.

8. Might explain the cryptic remark that Stanley Ann Dunham made to a high school friend in Washington State, before moving to Hawaii: “I can have a baby without getting married.”

Thus an adopted, foreign-born child, can truthfully say he was born in two places at two different times; because in one sense he refers to his natural birth, in the other to his legally recognized adoptive-birth.

https://variety.com/1996/scene/vpage/ex-agent-nettled-net-exex-1117466193/

When Disney Co. president Michael Ovitz first joined the studio a little over a year ago, he took an active role at ABC that rapidly diminished on the heels of complaints from top web execs to Disney chairman Michael Eisner.

Debates still rage between the ABC camp and Ovitz loyalists as to just how involved Ovitz was in the web’s high-profile hire of Geraldine Laybourne as president of Disney/ABC Cable Networks and how his role in landing Jamie Tarses as ABC Entertainment president upset ABC brass.

CAA: The link between Pedowood, the Mob, and the Deep State by @darkknight111

What do a lot of Hollywood luciferians and Pedowood suspects have in common? Certain talent agencies. UTA also works for Johnny Depp. Creative Artists Agency works with Steven Spielberg, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Cruise, Nichole Kidman, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Meryl Streep, Robert De Niro, Madonna, Sean Penn, Jim Carrey, Tom Hanks, and Jared Leto.

Michael Rosenfeld was one of the founders of Creative Artists Agency. Producer of Fatal Vision TV movie. May have been involved in Judith Barsi’s murder.

https://www.caa.com/foundation CAA has a foundation. Ties to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (major red flag).

Michael Ovitz via Robert Strauss has ties to the Bushes. Bush as we all know is linked to the CIA. Also connected to the Bronfman crime family, just like Steven Spielberg. He himself is also a suspected mobster. Hollywood was LONG been under mob control. Ovitz was a former high up at Disney.

Ronald Meyer, one of the founders of CAA is now vice chairman of NBCUniversal. NBC of course being part of the MSM who are players in Operation Mockingbird.

Both Everett and his wife Ottilie were involved in theater and community programs in Los Angeles with/ disabled/underprivileged children.

https://variety.com/2005/scene/markets-festivals/ottilie-kruger-laybourne-1117926207/

Actress Ottilie Kruger Laybourne died of pancreatic cancer in Los Angeles on May 12. She was 78.

She appeared frequently on Broadway in the 1940s and 50s and was the only child of film star Otto Kruger and actress Sue MacManamy. Laybourne was active in the Nine O’Clock Players Theatre for Children, a service auxiliary of Assistance League of Southern California dedicated to bringing live theater to underprivileged and handicapped children and their families. She had been active in the organization since the early 1970s and over the years had held several executive positions, including that of Chairman.

Born in New York, she followed in her parents’ footsteps to the stage, making her Broadway debut in “I Remember Mama,” along with the young Marlon Brando.

Her first leading role was in “A Joy Forever” with Guy Kibbee, followed by “The Pursuit of Happiness” with Freddie Bartholomew. She also starred twice with her father, in “Little A” and “Time for Elizabeth.”

She is survived by her husband Everett Laybourne

EVERETT LAYBOURNE'S LAW FIRM MERGED WITH THE OLDEST FIRM IN THE WORLD AND NEGOTIATED W/ the SOVIET UNION for the State Dept re: international lending

https://news.osu.edu/neh-chair-to-speak-at-humanities-baccalaureate/

Laybourne earned a juris doctorate from Harvard Law School in 1935 and has been practicing business and corporate law in Los Angeles since 1935. He has been a partner in several law firms. In 1969, he formed the firm Macdonald Halsted & Laybourne, where he was senior partner, and which later merged with Baker & McKenzie, the largest law firm in the world. At the request of the U.S. State Department, Laybourne negotiated a major World War II Lend-Lease obligation of the former Soviet Union. He also served as the California chairman of United Nations Day in 1960. For many years he has been board chair of WAIF Inc., founded by actress Jane Russell, which has engendered more than 40,000 adoptions, many from overseas. In service to Ohio State, he serves on the National Major Gift Committee for the Southern California region for the Affirm Thy Friendship fund-raising campaign. Laybourne received the OSU Alumni Centennial Award in 1970 and was recognized with the Alumni Citizenship Award in 1988.

WAIF INC seems deserving of its own dig. It's an early hollywood charity adoption ring/child dealer.

https://news.osu.edu/autumn-2000-commencement-honors/

Everett B. Laybourne was born into a family of Buckeyes. His father, a 1902 graduate, served on the university's Board of Trustees and his brother, a 1932 graduate, later became president of the Alumni Association. He graduated from Ohio State in 1932 with a bachelor's degree in English cum laude and received a juris doctor degree from Harvard University in 1935.

He began practicing business and corporate law in Los Angeles in 1936, founding his first of several law firms four years later. During the early 50s, the U.S. State Department asked Laybourne to negotiate the settlement of a major World War II Lend-Lease obligation with the former Soviet Union, requiring 18 separate meetings in the Soviet Union.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsons_Corporation

In 1961, Parsons founded the Ralph M. Parsons Foundation. The foundation became entirely independent from the company in 1974.

https://www.nytimes.com/1974/12/21/archives/ralph-m-parsons-industrialist-78-engineering-finn-founder-refinery.html

Ralph M. Parsons, founder of the Ralph M. Parsons Company, one of the largest engineering and construction concerns in the country, died yesterday in San Marino, Calif., where he lived. His age was 78.

Mr. Parsons had held the title of founder chairman since April. Earlier, he had been board chairman and chief executive officer, positions he had held since forming the company in Pasadena, Calif., in 1944.

A few years ago the company was involved in engineering construction projects of $1.2‐billion, which put it just behind the Bechtel Corporation in its field.

Mr. Parsons had been interested in engineering from his earliest childhood. At the age of 13 he and his brother, without capital, opened a garage and machine shop in Amagansett, L. I.

He went on to study steam and machine design at Pratt Institute and graduated in 1916. He enlisted in the Navy as a machinist's mate and was discharged in 1921 as a lieutenant (j.g.). He took a job as a civilian aeronautical engineer for the Navy and left in the mid‐nineteen‐twenties to specialize in oil refinery engineering.

In World War II, Mr. Parsons formed a partnership with Stephen D. Bechtel, who later became his chief rival, and John A. McCone, who later headed the Central Intelligence Agency.

Mr. Parsons's work in recent years included the construction of large and modern petroleum refineries, chemical plants and mining and metallurgical facilities. He also was a pioneer in building missile and space vehicle launching facilities and nuclear plants.

(((Underground Buildings)))

This is where it gets Occulty. This site claims Parson/His wife/her brother also work/worked for Parson's Group and build underground railways cities

https://deeppoliticsforum.com/forums/showthread.php?11627-Jack-Parsons#.XIbR_RRRdCV

When Jack Parsons (right) and L. Ron Hubbard (left) engaged in the Babalon Working, there was plenty of sexual excitement going on. Parsons was copulating with Cameron (his wife) on the altar and Hubbard was scrying and tapping the energy. Geometric incantations were used along with symbols, not unlike what Hubbard referred to in the book I had discovered. They were deliberately working with the same energies and some of the protocols that John Dee and Edward Kelly had used during the reign ofQueen Elizabeth I (Dee was her court astrologer). An earnest communication had been made with the territory known as the unconscious or the great unknown.

Many believe that the 1946 Babalon Working was responsible for or tied to the UFO phenomena which became so abundant after that period. This was confirmed forCameron when she witnessed a UFO shortly after the Babalon Working. She said that the sight filled her with an insurmountable joy. Cameron and her brother were working at the jet Propulsion Laboratory during this period and had seen a UFO while taking a nature walk in the area. Although she warned her brother not to say a word about it, he blabbed and was ridiculed to the point where he had to leave his job due to embarrassment. He ended up working for the Ralph Parsons Corporation, a huge international conglomerate who builds underground railways and cities among many other things.

Media critic Ken Auletta staged a frontal assault on three executives representing Big Media on Monday night at the opening event of Beyond Primetime, a conference on social responsibility in media hosted by Commonsense Media and the Aspen Institute at the Time Warner Center in Manhattan. Despite Auletta's best efforts, however, the three execs--Brian Roberts, chairman and CEO of Comcast, Geraldine Laybourne, founder and CEO of Oxygen, and Edgar Bronfman Jr., chairman and CEO of Warner Music Group--held the line tenaciously in their discussion of media and parenting. Above all, media companies are no substitute for parents, and the blame for children's failings belongs chiefly to the parents who neglect them.

That's not to say Auletta didn't try. In his opening salvo he asked the panelists whether their companies offered any content they wouldn't want their children to see. He needled them further by naming specific examples of controversial content produced or distributed by the three companies, including Oxygen's "Bad Girls' Club" and Warner's roster of gangster rap.

But he immediately encountered staunch resistance, with all three executives shifting responsibility back to parents--in this case, themselves. Existing methods of parental policing were duly noted. Roberts explained how he and his wife use parental control features on TV and Internet content to block out risqué or violent material. Likewise, Bronfman--father of seven--said his children aren't allowed to listen to any music that's stickered as explicit.

However, it fell to Laybourne to take the offensive. She noted that Oxygen isn't intended for children, while many cable channels are suitable for children. The problem, she suggested, lies with parents who are unable to engage their children in a dialogue to guide their viewing. She recommended that parents watch TV shows with their children "and tell them when 'we don't approve of these values.'"

Roberts affirmed that "there's no conversation" at the national level about the importance of parenting, leaving media companies as scapegoats for societal ills. Then Bronfman tried to roll back Auletta's earlier questions, challenging what he said was a basic premise that "anything controversial shouldn't be aired," conflating parental and corporate responsibility. Bronfman noted that some controversial material, like the lyrics of Tupac Shakur (a Warner artist) later gains respect. Here Laybourne added that even Oxygen's most risqué programming is empowering--for women in the appropriate age group.

Bronfman also argued that eliminating controversial material is simply unrealistic from the perspective of capitalism--"the engine that drives our society." In support of this, Roberts noted the discrepancy in ratings for different episodes of E!'s "True Hollywood Stories": those that end with the subject dead enjoy ratings about twice as high as those on a subject still living. Roberts concluded: "Now yes, that's pathetic. But at the end of the day it's the consumer, parented or not, that decides."

But the apparent sincerity of the panel was undercut somewhat when Auletta turned the target elsewhere, observing: "It's easier to police or have parental guidance for TV--how do you have policing for YouTube?" Now the panel reversed course. Bronfman descried the availability of questionable content, pointing specifically to peer-to-peer social networks as purveyors of questionable material. Likewise, Roberts noted the exponential growth in YouTube--which now takes up 4% of Comcast's bit traffic--and issued a call for regulation by some industry body, if not the government itself. For her part, Laybourne shifted attention from TV to the Internet by describing the difficulty of policing the latter: "It's not getting any better--think about the Internet! It's endless!"

“Advertising for Prestige”: Publicity in Canada-United States Arctic Defence Cooperation

The joint Canadian-US Military Cooperation Committee was busy drawing up a grandiose plan for a continental air-defence system that was never instituted and the United States had sought permission to construct a chain of weather stations across the Canadian Arctic. The stations would be operated by the United States Weather Bureau, a civilian agency, but they were clearly military in intent.

This was something new for Canada. Prior to 1940, there had been virtually no Canada-United States defence relationship. American troops or installations, civil or military, on Canadian soil, or joint Canadian-American defence planning, would have been unheard of.

Canadian government’s effort to keep the details of the new Canada-United States defence partnership under cover was not helped by an incident that took place in late September 1946. In an off-the-record conversation with Time magazine correspondent Larry Laybourne during a visit to New York, Secretary of State Paul Martin said that the Canadian government faced important decisions in the field of joint defence and that he was “staggered by the expense of the installations which Canada would have to finance.” Martin was undoubtedly referring to the MCC’s soon-to-be-shelved air defence plans.

Laybourne then contacted American government officials to try to pry more information out of them but was told that any publicity regarding Canada-United States defence activities at that point would embarrass US Secretary of State James Byrnes, then attending the Paris Peace Conference. Laybourne chose to sit on the story but Time’s representative in Ottawa tried to get details about Arctic defence installations from the United States embassy there. At the same time Maclean’s reporter Blair Fraser and the Financial Post’s Wilson were also poking around. Ottawa asked the State Department to help and Laybourne was contacted a second time and told to back off but not before the Canadians were reminded “where the responsibility for putting Time magazine on the trail lay.” The Americans might not have been so compliant if they were not “alive to the danger of prejudicing Canadian Government decisions by unfortunate publicity.”

Lawrence E. Laybourne, who retired last year as Time magazine's director of corporate affairs in Washington, died of cancer yesterday at his home there. He was 62 years old.

Mr. Laybourne started his journalistic career in 1934 as a reporter on The St. Louis PostDispatch. Ten years later, he joined Time as its first staff correspondent in Canada, with headquarters at Ottawa. In 1946, he was Washington news editor. He transferred here in 1949 to head Time's domestic news service.

In 1957, he went back to Canada to become managing director of Time International of Canada Ltd. He was appointed assistant publisher in 1962 and, five years later, went to Tokyo as managing director of TimeLife International in Asia.

Two years later, he was appointed international editor of Time‐Life Books, then assumed his last post in 1970.

P.S.

I can't say if this is a valid connection, but Lawrence E. Laybourne is cited regarding the 1950's NY adoption scheme (i've previously written about it being a CIA operation involving AHEPA)

• Next dig - *BY LARRY HERTZ - link at bottom of article, highlighted VERY DISTURBING. Found this on Vasser.edu

Recently, TV producer and educator Kit Laybourne** was lying on his back, head first, on a staircase inside Vassar’s New England Hall, surrounded by a group of grinning middle school students.

It was “selfie” day at Vassar’s Digital Literacy Camp, a two-week experience for Poughkeepsie Middle School students who are learning how to maximize the potential of the smartphones most of them carry with them every day.

Posing for some goofy “selfies” was part of the day’s activities, and Kit Laybourne was an enthusiastic participant.

“Statistics show kids are watching screens for the better part of nine hours every day,” he said, “but they’re only doing creative stuff about 3 percent of the time. We want to show them there’s a better way to use these incredibly powerful devices.”

Thirteen-year-old Jameel Richardson said he was having a lot of fun experimenting with self-portraits. “Definitely, selfies can be art,” he said.

Laybourne, husband of Vassar Trustee Geraldine Laybourne ’69, is part of a team that also includes Vassar students, faculty and alums who hatched the idea for the camp this spring**.

KIT took part in a spring semester class at Vassar on teens’ use of smartphones taught by Sociology Prof. William Hoynes and Psychological Science Prof. Abigail Baird. Vassar alum Mary Ellen Iatropoulos ’05, director of experience at Art Effect,**** a Poughkeepsie-based arts and media organization, also attended the class and worked with Laybourne and the students and faculty from the class to develop a curriculum for the camp. (Anytime I hear the word "camp" ...)

Geraldine and Meryl Streep

Oxygen Media co-founder Geraldine Laybourne has known Streep since she was 18. “She was so funny, and so smart,” Laybourne said. “She was already talented, we already knew, we watched her in plays, and she had talent. But she didn’t always have dates. And that was a very interesting thing, because I also didn’t always have dates, and we would watch her friends—I don’t know what was so great about her friends—but they seemed to always have dates. But we would just watch out the window as they would take off on their dates, and we’d howl and laugh and have fun.”

Laybourne added that Streep is a great trustee of Vassar, which two of her daughters also attended. “She is an eloquent spokesperson for liberal arts education, and just as good a human being as you could imagine.”

Geraldine Laybourne: Other Work

^{Links herein are via archive.is where possible}

From ("Gerry") Geraldine Laybourne wiki: https://archive.is/1Tns4

Laybourne sits on the Symantec Board,[7] Betaworks, and 9 Story, a Canadian production and distribution company. She serves as Chairman of the Board of Alloy Inc. and Katapult. Previously, she served on the boards of JC Penney, Electronic Arts, Move.com, Defy Media, and Kindercare.

Laybourne has been on the Board of Vassar College (since 1998). She is an advisor to Springboard, Vital Voices and Acumen Fund. Laybourne sat on the boards or advisory committees of The National Cable & Telecommunications Association, The National Council for Families and Television, New York Women in Film & Television (Advisory Board), and Cable Positive (Honorary Chair), and The White House Project.

Laybourne started the mentoring program, Global Women's Mentoring Walks, which pairs established and emerging women professionals to engage in mentoring partnerships in communities across the globe.[8]

Symantec

Gerry was on the Board of Directors for Symantec ^(wiki) for approximately 9.75 years, from Jan 1, 2008 through to Sep, 2018.

Betaworks

Gerry joined the Board at Betaworks ^(wiki) on, between or around Feb 1st - 5th, 2014. She appears to still be a member.

Gerry is a serial entrepreneur in media and technology. Currently she is the Chairman and Co-Founder of Kandu, a technology company for kids.

Kandu

I haven't determined when Kandu was founded or if Gerry is still involved, but, this March 31, 2014 article contains some pertinent info and a mention of Gerry being a co-founder and that it is funded in-part by Betaworks.

Exceprt:

Kandu helps kids learn to code, but don't call it an education app

What makes Kandu, an until-now stealth iPad app funded by Betaworks and operating in closed beta, different is that its makers don't want you to think of it as an education app. With a team that includes an ex-President of MTV and an ex-President at Nickelodeon, Kandu is being pushed as pure entertainment, designed to compete against YouTube videos and Angry Birds for children's precious time, not other learning apps.

Although the game doesn't teach programming languages, it does show kids the fundamentals of object-oriented programming where different classes of actions and attributes are applied to images and concepts. A blue monster might explode when it comes into contact with a octopus. Or gameplay might end after a user drags a ball into a hoop. It also teaches kids how to organize all of these actions in a clean way, promoting best coding practices before even teaching a line of code, says Kandu CEO David Bennahum.

 

Again though, the educational benefits of the app are secondary to the team's mission statement, which is to build a fun entertainment product tailored to children's digital tablet-friendly consumption habits that also encourages self-expression and connectivity. At Nickelodeon, Kandu co-founder Gerry Laybourne put shows like "You Can't Do That on Television" and "Double Dare" on TV, spending a great deal of time with kids and thinking about their consumption habits. Later she worked on Disney Imagineering to imagine "what an interactive world would be for kids."

 

"Disney didn't get it," she said, adding that the company thought porting Mickey Mouse to a website was all it took to engage kids online. But with games, TV shows, and YouTube videos all attracting kids' attention on their iPads, it takes more than talking Disney princesses to keep youngsters interested. According to Common Sense Media, 3/4 of all US children have access to a mobile device at home, and 10 percent of kids under two have used a smartphone or tablet. "They love these devices," Laybourne says. The trick is "to convert that usage into actual creation."

 

To determine how to make this creative "hacker"-style of building fun, they recruited young testers from anywhere they could, including public schools, nonprofits like Girls Who Code, and the team's own family and friends. Board member Sara Levinson, ex-President of MTV, says she was riding in a cab one day and recruited the driver's child to be part of the test group.

 

So far, Kandu has raised a $2.4 million seed round led by Betaworks. Other investors include ex-Discovery president and former Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Judith McHale and Akamai chairman George Conrades. It's also in early talks to possibly raise a Series A round.

Katapult

Gerry is a Co-Founder and Chairman of Katapult. Betaworks is among the investors. Katapult is the current iteration of the previously discussed Kandu.

_Description

Operator of a digital entertainment platform designed to develop and create games. The company's platform offers sandbox game where one can create life block by block, enabling users to create online games and applications without knowing how to code in an enhanced way.

_{Formerly Known As}

Kandu

9 Story Media Group

Gerry joined the Board of Directors of 9 Story Media Group ^(wiki) on or around Nov 10, 2015. She appears to still be a member.

Laybourne’s appointment follows 9 Story’s recent acquisition of the award winning studio Brown Bag Films and is part of the company’s strategy to become a first choice destination for creators and show runners.

https://archive.is/NABM9

Laybourne has made an investment in the private equity fund headed by her longtime business associate and media investor Strauss Zelnick that controls 9 Story. Laybourne is set to play an active role in guiding the company’s expansion of its TV programming and digital endeavors.

Alloy Inc. / Defy Media

Alloy Inc. is a predecessor/parent to Defy Media ^(wiki). Gerry has been a member of the Board for both entities, from at least June 25, 2010. She appears to still be involved, though may not be - verification required.

History

Alloy, Inc.

Alloy, Inc. (also known as Alloy Online) was founded in 1996 by James K. Johnson and Matthew Diamond as a holding company for Alloy, a teen-oriented magazine and website. By the time the company went public in May 1999, the website earned $15.5 million in monthly revenue and 1.3 million registered users. In January 2000, they purchased book publisher 17th Street Productions, renaming it Alloy Entertainment.[10]

Alloy's additional early assets included Delia's (acquired 2003, spun-off in 2005), CCS.com (acquired 2000, sold to Foot Locker in 2008), and Channel One News (acquired 2007, sold to Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in 2014).[11]

Alloy Digital

In 2009, Alloy created a division called Alloy Digital Networks to hold its online properties.

Alloy was then made private through acquisition by an investment group led by Zelnick Media Capital in 2010, and was re-incorporated as Alloy Digital in 2011. Within the next two years, Alloy Digital acquired Smosh,[12] Themis Media (parent company of The Escapist and WarCry Network),[13] Generate LA-NY, and Clevver Media.[14] Zelnick also sold Alloy Entertainment to Warner Bros. Television in 2012.

Merger and investment

In October 2013, Alloy Digital and Break Media merged to become Defy Media. The deal was brokered by RBC Capital Markets, and the resulting entity was owned in part by Zelnick Media, ABS Capital Partners, and Lionsgate.[15]

Viacom purchased a stake of Defy Media in 2014, in exchange for ownership of GameTrailers, Addicting Games, and Shockwave.[16] In 2016, Defy settled a $70MM investment by Wellington Management Company, and Zelnick Media exited from investment in 2017.

Move.com

Gerry joined the Board of Directors for Move, Inc.(Owner of Move.com) ^(wiki) on or around June 27, 2006 and, according to Bloomberg, left on Dec 31, 2010 (See bottom for profile - much more info available; READ).

KinderCare

Between 1990 and 1995, Gerry served on the Board of Directors of Kinder Care Learning Centers, owned by KinderCare ^(wiki).

Thanks for the ping. Will look into this. Good work.

An interesting project would be to go through all entries in Epstein's Black Book, and check

1) whether the person in question has been discussed on v/pizzagate, and do a list of all submissions found

and

2) google all names (i.e. put all names in different search engines), and keywords like 'sexual abuse', 'rape' and 'trafficking'.

Gerry Laybourne was a part of Bill Clinton's hearings on "children's tv"

https://www.datalounge.com/thread/15483451-remembering-jessica-savitch-32-years-after-her-death

(According to DataLounge, Gerry Laybourne and Linda Ellerbee may have been lesbian lovers.)

@vindicator @shewhomustbeobeyed @carmencita @asolo I have been aware of this for some time, and have been fleshing out some research. If you know my alt on CDAN, i did a lot of research on the history of nickelodeon.

there is a lot of smoke surrounding the laybourne family: She is an education psychologist, He is an animator. Together they are a perfect team for designing indoctrinating children's tv

A. 2002 Monterey California "Billionaires Dinner". This is the reason Kit and Gerry flew on Epstein's plane. Both were guests/Epstein flew them to Monterey.

B. Gerry Laybourne is the reason Nickelodeon gave Dan Schneider a show. When his show tested poorly, Laybourne picked it up anyway.

https://myspace.com/article/2014/04/14/all-that-oral-history-season-one

Dan Schneider: I didn't have any big expectations for All That because, at the time, I knew almost nothing about the world of kids TV. Creating All That was a ton of fun and I gave it my best because I wanted it to be good and successful. But I just considered it a temp job. I was an actor. I never thought becoming a writer/producer would turn into a full-time thing for me.

Anyways, after we made the All That pilot, about six months went by and I didn't hear much of anything from Brian or the network. At some point, I called Brian and asked him if the network was planning to pick up the show. He wasn't sure. Then I heard that the pilot "hadn't tested great." You see, whenever you make a new TV pilot, the network tests the show with focus groups. So, for All That, they got a bunch of kids—boys, girls, different age groups—and they let them watch the show, and then moderators ask them questions, sort of like a group review. I actually still have the results from those tests. Basically, the people who ran the testing wrote a report—a summary—and they said that while kids might like some aspects of the show, overall, kids wouldn't like All That. I think that's why nothing happened for six months. The pilot only tested "so-so,” so the network was nervous about picking it up.

Then, if I recall correctly, I heard that the president of Nickelodeon (at the time), a woman named Geraldine Laybourne, watched the All That pilot and loved it. She said something like, "This show is great. Why haven't we picked this up yet? Let's make it." Next thing I knew, we were back in Orlando, where we'd shot the pilot, and we were making a bunch of episodes of All That. It was a blast. I loved every minute of it.

C. Gerry and Kit applauded their children's "comical" celebration of incest:

https://observer.com/1999/10/meet-emmy-laybourne-daughter-of-cabletv-royalty/

Emmy Laybourne took the stage with her younger brother, Sam. It was a benefit night at the Kitchen for the Center for Discovery, a camp for people with severe disabilities, and the audience wasn’t the usual alternative comedy crowd, but men in suits and women in cocktail dresses. A tape started playing a schmaltzy melody, and Ms. Laybourne, dressed in a sleeveless red top and long black skirt, began to sing lyrics she’d written: “We could walk on sandy beaches,” Emmy began innocently enough. “We could backpack through Europe,” Sam responded.

Soon brother and sister were chiming in on a disturbing chorus: “But we can’t make love–because we are related! It’s taboo for me and you!” They danced lasciviously with each other, then backed off guiltily.

In the audience were the Laybournes’ mother and father–Geraldine Laybourne, the former head of Nickelodeon and now potentate of the new women’s cable and Internet channel, Oxygen, and Kit Laybourne, the former head of the Colossal Pictures animation studio who is now developing programming for Oxygen.

The little duet kept going: “I used to watch you sleeping when you were a little child,” sang Emmy. “And I thought to myself as I saw you, so weak, so defenseless–man, it would be wild!” To which Sam replied: “I used to watch you bathing when you went through puberty. And I thought to myself as I saw you emerge from the water–why can’t she be with me?”

At the end of the number, the Laybourne parents applauded loudly for Emmy’s paean to incest. What parent wouldn’t be proud?

“She was born creative,” Geraldine Laybourne said after the show. “She really didn’t have a choice. This poor kid was tortured. She and Sam used to say, ‘Please, Mom, no more TV!'”

D. The Laybournes filmed neighborhood children getting covered in slime in their basement in the 1980's....

http://articles.latimes.com/1996-09-08/magazine/tm-41780_1_disney-channel/4

She rearranged Nickelodeon with the force of a tornado, starting as a consultant at the network launch in 1979. After getting a master's degree in elementary education at the University of Philadelphia, she formed an independent production studio and, with her husband, Kit, an independent filmmaker, was creating pilots for the network. The following year, Laybourne joined as a programming manager and was elevated to general manager in 1986. At the time, Nickelodeon was losing $10 million a year as a commercial-free channel with the lowest ratings in cable. It was the "spinach channel," bitter tasting--but good for kids.

Guided by rigorous focus groups with children, Laybourne honed a philosophy for the network based on the mind-set that growing up is tough. But the network had little money for developing programs to help kids cope, so Laybourne bought cheap old shows and packaged them to look cool. She started accepting advertising and retooling the economics of production to make originals affordable. Game shows came first, with "Double Dare" debuting in 1986, shattering the myth that kids would only watch nimation. She produced the show with neighborhood kids in the basement of her New Jersey home.

E. Creepy line from Kit Laybourne

http://articles.latimes.com/1996-09-08/magazine/tm-41780_1_disney-channel/6

A sense of community is still a part of their life. At their vacation house 45 minutes outside Telluride, the Laybournes built two oversized bunk beds in the living room, with curtains that can be drawn for privacy. (Their own bed is in another room, on rollers, railroad-style, so that they can sleep under the stars on the balcony at the end of the tracks.) Kit says weekend guests love the bunk beds: "There is something lewd about adults sleeping together in one room."

This is just what I remember, I'll check some of my stuff and see if I found anything else.

Interesting relationships connected to Kit Laybourne...

Laybourne, Noyes Jr., Noyes Sr., Rand, NeXT, CIA

From wiki:

Emphasis added.

For a dozen years, Kit and partner Eli Noyes ran an independent animation & branding studio in TriBeCa, Noyes & Laybourne. Most of its major works included ID's for MTV and Nickelodeon, shorts for the Children's Television Workshop, and shows for Scholastic and Nick Junior.

Eli Noyes

Early life

Eliot Fette Noyes, Jr. was born the son of noted "Harvard Five" architect Eliot Noyes and his wife, interior designer Molly Duncan Weed Noyes. He is the brother of Fred Noyes. He graduated from Harvard University in 1964.[2]

Career

In 1964,[3] Noyes created the animated film Clay or Origin of the Species [4] which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.[5] The film is considered one of the earliest examples of clay stop-animation[6] and is cited by Wallace and Gromit creators, Peter Lord and David Sproxton as a large influence on their work.[7]

Noyes is also noted for his creation of the Sand Alphabet for Sesame Street and the Nickelodeon children's television series, Eureeka's Castle. In 2003, Noyes cofounded the animation production studio Alligator Planet with Ralph Guggenheim and Alan Buder. Noyes directed animation sequences for two films which were shortlisted for the 2009 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, Under Our Skin and The Most Dangerous Man in America, a final nominee.

Works

~Noyes spent twenty-one years working as consultant design director for IBM, designing the IBM Selectric typewriter in 1961 and numerous other products, while also advising the IBM internal design staff.[1] Prior to his work on the Selectric, Noyes was commissioned in 1956 by Thomas J. Watson, Jr to create IBM's first corporate-wide design program — indeed, these influential efforts, in which Noyes collaborated with Paul Rand and Charles Eames, have been referred to as the first comprehensive design program in American business.~

Paul Rand

Emphasis added.

Paul Rand (born Peretz Rosenbaum; August 15, 1914 – November 26, 1996) was an American art director and graphic designer, best known for his corporate logo designs, including the logos for IBM, UPS, Enron, Morningstar, Inc., Westinghouse, ABC, and NeXT. He was one of the first American commercial artists to embrace and practice the Swiss Style of graphic design.

Corporate identities

Rand's most widely known contributions to design are his corporate identities, many of which are still in use. IBM, ABC, Cummins Engine, UPS, and Enron, among many others, owe Rand their graphical heritage.[5] One of his strengths, as Moholy-Nagy pointed out,[4] was his ability as a salesman to explain the needs his identities would address for the corporation.~

NeXT, Inc. (later NeXT Computer, Inc. and NeXT Software, Inc.) was an American computer and software company founded in 1985 by Apple Computer co-founder Steve Jobs.~

~NeXT was founded by Jobs after he was fired from Apple, along with several co-workers.

History

~

1993–96: NeXT Software

NeXT started porting the NeXTSTEP operating system to IBM PC compatible computers using the Intel 80486 processor in late 1991. The operating system was ported to Intel's architecture because of a change in NeXT's business strategy, which was then to remove themselves from the hardware business entirely.

~NeXTSTEP gained popularity at institutions such as First Chicago NBD, Swiss Bank Corporation, O'Connor and Company, and other organizations owing to its programming model.[51] It was also used by many American federal agencies, such as United States Naval Research Laboratory, the National Security Agency, the Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Reconnaissance Office.[52] Some IBM PC clone vendors offered somewhat customized hardware solutions that were delivered running NeXTSTEP on Intel, such as the Elonex NextStation[53] and the Canon object.station 41.[54]~

Kit Laybourne working on a kids sports channel -- another forum to attract fame-hungry athletic kids?

From this 2012 New York Times piece:

The Whistle’s executives believe that their audience can be found among the tens of millions of children who play organized sports and who navigate with increasing ease between televisions, computers, tablets, cellphones, apps and social media.

“Timing is everything,” said John West, the Whistle’s chairman, who founded the media company with Jeff Urban, a former Gatorade senior vice president, and Kit Laybourne, a former executive producer of Nickelodeon. “Start-ups are innovators. And there’s a massive disruption going on in the media. New technology is giving us distribution wherever you turn.”

The programming will not resemble ESPN’s cut down to child’s size; no mini-Chris Bermans will be shouting nicknames of Little Leaguers while reciting song lyrics from the ’90s. Rather, it will put youngsters at the center of the mix, inviting them to upload their videos of backyard and organized games; to interact with pro athletes like DeMarcus Ware; to become sportscasters; and to re-enact some of the greatest plays in sports history.

It will also provide games, instructional and animated shows, and programming created from footage leased from leagues and other entities.

The venture’s investors include Derek Jeter, Peyton Manning and Mia Hamm; Bob DuPuy, the former president of Major League Baseball; and Bob Pittman, the chairman of Clear Channel Communications, who ran MTV in the 1980s. Last year, West said that the company raised $4 million from 50 investors. This year, he said the plan was raise up to $20 million, enough to be profitable in a year.

MIssed this, at the bottom of Geraldine's Wikipedia page:

She and her husband Kit Laybourne, a television producer, entrepreneur, author, and educator, have two children, Emmy and Sam. Emmy Laybourne is the author of a series of young adult novels called Monument 14 and an actress appearing in Superstar and other films. Sam Laybourne is a writer and producer for television series such as Arrested Development,* Cougar Town*, The Michael J. Fox Show, and Grandfathered with John Stamos. They have four grandchildren.

I am horrible at archiving but have found a connection with Geraldine L and HRC. Hillary another passenger on Epstein's plane.

The other day in Manhattan, Hillary Clinton supporters met for lunch at the home of the media executive Geraldine Laybourne. A group of 50, mostly women, was determined to generate excitement for Clinton’s campaign for president. They were frustrated to see her lagging again among younger voters, and their invited speaker was Kenyatta Cheese, a young Obama campaign veteran and internet impresario.

Herbert J. Allen Jr.'s male-dominated annual power powwow in Sun Valley, Idaho, is breaking with tradition. Not only are there more female executives on the corporate guest list this year than usual--a whopping six out of 104 or so--there will be a first-ever panel discussion led by and about women and business.

Allen's famed, though secretive, annual confab, which runs July 7 to 12, is the 16th edition and has become a sort of high-powered male-bonding session for some of the world's most influential investors, chief executives and media moguls including the likes of Warren Buffett, Paul Allen, Rupert Murdoch, Sumner Redstone, John Malone, Gerald Levin, Michael Eisner, David Geffen, Barry Diller, Edgar Bronfman Jr., Bill Gates, Andy Grove, Herbert Siegel and Philip Knight.

Allen--Wall Street's mighty investment banker to the (media) stars--encourages his guests to bring their wives and kids along to the mountain retreat, billed as a family getaway with planned activities ranging from ice skating and kickball to fly-fishing and a rodeo.

While the family is at play, the moguls huddle to talk about changes in the industry.

But the number of top female executives on hand representing corporations in any given year has been few and far between--as they are in the industry in general. Last year, Mattel Inc. President and CEO Jill Barad became the first female CEO ever invited to make a company presentation.

This year, Barad is one of four women at the conference speaking on a panel titled "Women and Business," along with Washington Post Chairwoman Katherine Graham, former Disney/ABC Cable Networks President Geraldine Laybourne, and fashion designer Diane Von Furstenberg. ABC's Prime Time Live co-host Diane Sawyer will moderate. (Pleasant T. Rowland, who just sold her doll company to Mattel in a $700-million deal engineered by Allen & Co., is the other female executive guest, though she will not be on the panel).

Graham, Laybourne and Von Furstenberg also have been executive guests at the conference before. Von Furstenberg runs in media circles as a close friend of Barry Diller. And it helps to be an Allen & Co. client. The investment bank is actively raising money for Laybourne, who recently started her own production company with her former lawyer--Lisa Hall, who left her practice--to serve the quickly converging Internet and television worlds.

Another new and seemingly politically correct addition is a panel called "Race in the Workplace: Past Practices/Future Challenges," which Tom Brokaw, another Allen friend, will moderate. Panelists include Time Warner President Richard Parsons, Black Entertainment Television founder Robert Johnson, Eastman Kodak's George Fisher, Washington Post Co. Chairman Donald Graham, and Leslie Jones, a student at the Roberto C. Goizueta Business School at Emory University in Atlanta.

Seems like Geraldine has connections to many that we have researched before. David Geffen, Barry Diller, Edgar Bronfman Jr. and Diane von Furstenberg to name just a few.
