-Caveat Lector- Doing what the Rhodes Scholarship does for the CFR, this is one of Lord Carrington's Bilderberger "front groups," recruiting Anglophiles from a younger "high tech" crowd. Sponsor corporations today include Apple Computer, Texas Instruments, Honeywell, MONSANTO ... [More on Lord Carrington --associate of World Bank president and fellow Bilderberger Wolfensohn-- later ...] THE BRITISH-AMERICAN PROJECT http://www.bilderberg.org/bap.htm (There is little information available about this elitist group. It seems to be "self selecting" group who pretend to 'define' the transatlantic relationship. No mention here of building links between native americans and marginalised groups in the UK. The agenda is corporate, the ideology is capitalist, hardly a fair reflection of the best in future transatlantic potential.) In their own words: What is the British-American Project? "The British-American Project exists to reinforce the long-standing special ties between the United States and Britain by bringing together young people from the two countries who have achieved distinction in their chosen fields. The Project's primary activity is an annual intensive four-day conference, which brings together 24 exceptional people from each side of the Atlantic to tackle a specific issue of importance to both countries. "Delegates are chosen for proven leadership in their field, and are drawn from a wide range of backgrounds and views; they include senior representatives from business, government, the media, voluntary /non-profit organizations, law, medicine, and the armed forces. "Since its first conference in 1985, the British-American Project has built an influential Fellowship of more than 600 members, many of whom return to the annual conference in subsequent years. The success of the Project is remarkable, and its impact on those who attend lasting." "You discuss ideas, you face challenges, you have your prejudices questioned, you make friends, you learn a lot and you have fun. It's an incredibly worthwhile venture." --The Rt. Hon. Chris Smith, MP, Secretary of State for Culture, Media & Sport, UK Fellow While the Fellows return at their own expense, the Project funds the attendance of participants in their first year to ensure the broadest possible gathering of talent. In addition, the Project produces newsletters and reports on conference deliberations to promote deeper trans-Atlantic ties. The Project is run by its Fellowship whose elected officers and its Advisory Board, led by the Rt. Hon LORD CARRINGTON [[Rothschild descendant, leader of the Bilderberg Group and Council on Foreign Relations, and former NATO President]] manage its development. Their challenge is to ensure the long-term financial viability of the Project so that its valuable and distinctive contribution to Anglo-American relations can continue.
