Here's some shit on Triad:

==========================
Koch Oil Industries owns almost all of Triad GSI/consulting, works through the NISP and runs some permanent programs through Exxon Mobil Oil or other energy firms endorsed by Opus Dei coverts.

Koch's Low Profile Belies Political Power
Private oil company does both business and politics with the shades drawn

By Bob Williams and Kevin Bogardus

WASHINGTON, July 15, 2004
Koch Industries could be the biggest oil company you have never heard of?unless, that is, you hang around the halls of government in Washington.


Koch Industries (pronounced "coke") is a huge oil conglomerate controlled by brothers Charles and David Koch, two of the country's richest men and among the biggest backers of conservative and libertarian causes. With estimated revenue of about $40 billion last year, Koch is bigger than Microsoft, Merrill Lynch and AT&T.

Koch is the leading campaign contributor among oil and gas companies for the 2004 election cycle, giving $587,000 so far. Next came Valero Energy at $568,000.

Since 1998, Koch is the fourth biggest campaign oil and gas industry giver, behind ChevronTexaco, El Paso Corp. and Enron Corp.

Despite its size and political largesse, Koch is able to dodge the limelight because it is privately-held, meaning that nearly all of its business dealings are known primarily only by the company and the Internal Revenue Service. In fact, it is the second largest private company in the country, trailing only food processing giant Cargill.

Koch also prefers to operate in private when it comes to politics and government.

Although it is both a top campaign contributor and spends millions on direct lobbying, Koch's chief political influence tool is a web of interconnected, right-wing think tanks and advocacy groups funded by foundations controlled and supported by the two Koch brothers.

Among those groups are some of the country's most prominent conservative and libertarian voices including the Cato Institute, the Reason Foundation, Citizens for a Sound Economy and the Federalist Society. All regularly beat the drum in official Washington for the causes the Koch's hold dear?minimal government, deregulation, and free market economics.

For the Kochs, conservative and libertarian views are a family tradition. Fred Koch, who founded the company's predecessor in 1940, helped establish the ultra right-wing John Birch Society"

""Triad, or Tactical Resources in American Democracy was founded in 1995, Triad was a profit-making company that funnelled money into Congressional races through two tax-exempt groups associated with it, mainly Citizens for Reform and Citizens for the Republic Education Fund.

Neither of the two nonprofit groups associated with Triad was active before the 1996 election. One existed only on paper as of Oct. 11, 1996, when it opened a bank account.

In the next 20 days, from Oct. 11 to Oct. 31, the group, Citizens for Reform, received $1.6 million from Triad donors in 12 bank transactions. By Oct. 31, $1.4 million of this money had been spent on advertisements, documents show. A second Triad-affiliated nonprofit group received $1.7 million in late October for television attack advertisements.

Triad raised money from conservative donors and sent it to the nonprofit groups that bought so-called issue advertisements on television attacking Democrats and supporting Republican candidates and causes.

Mr. Braden said some Triad donors had been so concerned about secrecy that they insisted on having written agreements with Triad that their names would not be disclosed unless Triad was ordered to do so by the courts. Still, Mr. Braden said, the majority of Triad's donors had been primarily attracted by the conservative candidates that Triad supported and less by a promise of anonymity."

This link was dated January 15 2002 titled Sir Mark Moody-Stuart – Possibly the most dangerous man alive. He is former CEO of Shell Oil, is now President of Anglo American, diamond mining company in South Africa. Is received a contract from Accenture to do the caging list.

Sir Mark Moody-Stuart and Accenture link: http://www.accenture.com/xd/xd.asp?it=enweb&xd=aboutus%5Cgovernance%5Cdirectors%5Cmoody_stuart.xml
Mark Moody-Stuart, a member of Accenture's board of directors since October 2001, is chairman of Anglo American plc, a global mining and natural resources company. From 1998-2001 Sir Moody-Stuart was chairman of the Royal Dutch/Shell Group of companies.

More on Mark Moody-Stuart and Accenture http://www.bluelemur.com/index.php?p=489
On 12/13/04 the Blue Lemur reported the Director of Florida voting contractor chaired companies linked to apartheid and was paid to repair Florida's voting list which disenfranchised African American.

More on Mark Moody-Stuart
Four Corporate Characters in Search of a Sustainable Order http://www.corporatewatch.org.uk/magazine/issue9/cw9cm1.html
‘Hi-Priest’ – and is typified by characters such as Shell’s Mark Moody-Stuart, Tarmac’s John Banham, BP’s John Browne (see CW5), Monsanto’s Bob Shapiro and maybe NatWest’s Derek Wanless.
Here, for instance, is Mark Moody-Stuart’s concluding comment in response to a concern that I raised directly with him, about whether or not Shell risks contributing to a form of “totalitarianism” - as it seeks to engage with the social and ecological concerns of its ‘stakeholders’ on the one hand, while prioritising radically improved financial performance on the other:4

“I suppose you could say that economics is an absolute, overall essential. I mean, I do think, personally, that, you know, laws of supply and demand come pretty close to absolute truth – and the laws of economics, or some of them, come as close to absolute truth… or to absolute reality, as you do in the world. If that’s what you mean by totalitarian… er, then I plead guilty.”

The Hi-Priest could well prove the worse sort of false prophet: an unwitting(?) charlatan, totally beholden to Mammon. However, as shoddy in character as the ‘Hi-‘ implies, this Priest possesses a fragile authority. Successful activist strategies are likely to be those that aim to undermine it, perhaps by blaspheming before the spurious scriptures and bogus rituals on which it depends.

Sir Mark Moody Stuart receives his just desserts http://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2002/10/43275.html
promoting himself as Mr Corporate Social Responsibility, Moody-Stuart heads Business Action for Sustainable Development - the business lobby group largely responsible for wrecking the Earth Summit. He is also a director of several companies involved in activities that are far from socially responsible. These companies include Shell, which sparked outrage yesterday when it was announced that the company had been concealing mobile phone masks in its garages

Not to be outdone, Michael Rapp of Triad Corporation (Father, Todd Rapp) took on Moody Stuart, in an Opus Dei knockout match.
http://www.suntimes.co.za/2002/03/17/business/news/news14.asp
"Lindahl said: "I have taken the decision not to allow my name to go forward for the chairmanship of Anglo American with great regret. However, I am determined that the company should not become distracted by becoming involved in matters connected with my former employment . . . I am glad . . . that I shall play a role in the future direction of the company as a member of the board."

The financial services institutions have been busy indeed. Stanbic, Libhold, Liberty, and The Standard Bank of SA (SBSA) announced major restructuring of their boards following "a reassessment from a governance perspective".

At Stanbic and at SBSA, Selwyn MacFarlane, Michael Rapp and Alan Romanis have agreed to stand down from the board. They remain on the Libhold board.

At Libhold, Doug Band, Robin Plumbridge and Conrad Strauss are standing down. They remain on the Stanbic and SBSA boards.

At Liberty, Doug Band, Elisabeth Bradley, Saki Macozoma, Robin Plumbridge, Conrad Strauss and Eddie Theron are standing down. Macozoma remains as joint deputy chairman of Stanbic and SBSA. Bradley and Theron remain on the Stanbic and SBSA board."

http://www.achieve.org/achieve.nsf/Cohen?openform
Michael Cohen president of Achieve in January 2003. Mike has been a leading figure in the national push to boost academic performance by leveraging higher standards since it began. He was director of education policy at the National Governors' Association from 1986 to 1990, where he helped the governors and President Bush set national education goals and call for national standards and assessments. From 1990 to 1993, he was director of the National Alliance for Restructuring Education, a network of leading states and urban school systems committed to standards-based reform. He also helped launch the New Standards Project, an initiative of states, school districts, and philanthropic groups to develop world-class standards and assessments."

Then at the end of the day, Michael Cohen worked with Feeney and Yang to establish GEMS for Exxon Mobil.....Oil and Religion, the two main passions of the elite. Only this time, it means fanaticism.

Finally to top off the finale, Cybernet, Accenture, and Triad all cut a complete contract with several states on behalf of web integrate database development for everything, including education and elections.

To prevent that PDF from dissapearing we have pulled it off and archived it. Ms. Carolyn Malenick has an extensive history with them and Todd Rapp, now just who could Malenick be working for...
