Deep State "Influencer" - Prof. Kate Williams

[MercurysBall2]

Sometimes I run across characters on social media which can lead to a whole lot of interesting connections.

Take Prof. Kate Williams latest tweet on Meghan Markles, who was clearly installed by the Deep State : https://twitter.com/KateWilliamsme/stat ... 4934014982

‘She won’t go quietly, that’s the problem. I’ll fight until the end’. Diana in 1995.
And she was hunted and finally chased to her death. The end came just two years later, in 1997.
Now her daughter-in-law is persecuted all over again, for speaking.
We have learned nothing.

Apparently the history professor and "novelist, TV for CNN, Ch 5,BBC." is not aware of Markles's yachting days, the high level connections as recorded here on Voat and the stories of her bullying her staff. No.. according to Prof. Williams, the UK public's disquiet over the unstable narcissist is due to.. you guessed it... racism. My DS radar twitches... Let's take a closer look...

Hachette belongs to Lagardère Group, A french company that has sold off anything with names anyone would recognize. The rest of it is a bunch of Eurotrash babbling nonsense..

Wiley and Sons and Penguin Random House are the pricks trying to get it shut down...Penguin Random House is owned by Bertelsmann. Thomas Rabe oversees Bertelmenns and he started out with the EU in some long winded financial directorate commissioned officer position..Penguin publishing is the poisoned well.

Trattoria Terrazza in Soho https://lukehoney.typepad.com/the_greas ... razza.html

More about La Trattoria Terrazza, the most fashionable restaurant in Swinging Sixties London. ..

Franco Lagattolla and Mario Cassandro opened La Trattoria Terrazza in 1959. It very quickly became the fashionable haunt of artists, writers, models, film directors, actors, photographers and society hangers-on. In 1962, the London Daily Sketch ran a feature which noted that on one certain night, between 6.30 and midnight, the following people ate at La Terrazza: Ingrid Bergman, Leslie Caron, Danny Kaye, David Niven, Gregory Peck, Laurence Harvey, Sammy Davis Jnr, Michael Caine, Julie Christie, Terence Stamp, David Bailey and Jean Shrimpton. They forgot to include Ari Onnassis. This is astonishing when you discover just how small La Terrazza actually was at that time. Len Deighton, immortalised the restaurant in his spy novel, The Ipcress File: 'In London with a beautiful girl,' Deighton wrote in 1961, 'you must show her to Mario at La Terrazza.'

..in 1960, the cartoonist and designer, Enzo Apicella, re-designed the downstairs space to create the Positano Room: a cool, white, spare space; a modernist re-interpretation of the rustic. In came green-tiled floors, roughly plastered white walls, multi-coloured down-light spots over each table, arched ceilings, modernist rush-seated armchairs, and rustic lobster pots. Apicella went on to re-design many famous restaurants, including San Lorenzo and the Pizza Express chain.

..I'm trying to work out exactly why La Terrazza was so successful, and I think, after much thought, there are at least two reasons. The innovative food, and Mario's considerable charm...

Uhm, nope.. I have other ideas on why it was pushed as the place to be..

He built a career in journalism and publishing.[1][9] In 1957 he bought the British high society publication The Queen,[7] which he revamped, renaming it Queen and hiring Beatrix Miller as editor.[10][11] He hired Mark Boxer as art director and Antony Armstrong-Jones, future husband of Princess Margaret, as photographer

How restaurateur Mr Chow became the unlikely hero of the art world https://archive.is/8uC3T

Michael Chow – known as M – reflects on five decades of turning dining into an art, and working with Basquiat, Warhol, and Allen Jones

..At the age of 13, everything changed when M was sent to boarding school in London. ..He studied at St. Martins and went on to paint for a decade before the market forces made it apparent that it was not receptive to a Chinese artist. Once again, M turned to art to guide the way, launching the very first Mr Chow in Knightsbridge in February 1968.

From the very outset, Mr Chow was not just a restaurant – it was theatre: a stage for pleasure, passion, and intrigue, where Italian waiters served fine Chinese cuisine to sophisticated clientele and artworks by Allen Jones, Peter Blake, Patrick Caulfield, David Hockney, and Jim Dine became an integral part of the experience. He established three restaurants in London before setting a course to conquer America.

Over the past half-century, M has opened restaurants in Beverly Hills, New York, Miami, and Las Vegas, always bringing glamour and theatre to the dining experience. ..

Featuring works by Helmut Newton, Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Kenny Scharf, Francesco Clemente, and Ed Ruscha, just to name a few, the book reveals the significant role Mr Chow has played in the art world over five decades.

“This was in the 50s, and in the 60s, it started to bear fruit. In 1959, Mario Cassandro and Franco Lagattolla, who had been the headwaiters at the Savoy Hotel, started a restaurant in Soho called Trattoria Terrazza. It was a tiny little thing with a basement and everyone went there. That was the beginning of the British cultural revolution in the restaurant world.

“Alvaro (Maccioni) started there as the busboy and later became the manager. He became very successful and was very charming – then he opened his own restaurant (Alvaro’s) on the King’s Road. At that time it was the hottest restaurant on the King’s Road, while Mario and Franco were expanding to Mayfair.

How the Savoy hotel played a key role in wartime espionage and politics https://archive.is/LBgcY

As could be expected with the Casablanca-esque cross-section of wartime guests, there were often spies about the Savoy, but all of the known ones were friendly.

Dusko Popov, a Serbian agent codenamed Tricycle, became a full-time resident. Partly thanks to his powers of seduction, he was one of the inspirations for Ian Fleming’s James Bond. Even Bond’s code number was based on the detail that, when Popov needed advice, he would call his uncle in Belgrade and the number he needed to remember was 26-007.

Fleming thought it had a ring to it. Popov was welcomed to Britain by an MI5 chauffeur, who took him from an airfield straight to the Savoy. He was met in the lobby by Major Thomas Robertson, who specialised in double agents. In his tartan trousers, Robertson looked, Popov thought, ‘like Hollywood’s concept of a dashing British military type’.

..Claude Dansey, assistant chief of the British Secret Intelligence Service, was an altogether more sober spook. He often took his lunch at the Grill before finding somewhere more secluded to interview potential recruits. One, James Langley, was told to ‘go to the front hall of the Savoy and make himself known to a man with a folded copy of The Times under his arm and a red carnation in his lapel’ and this was Dansey.

After the war, hostile takeovers, in which owners were forcibly, often secretly, bought out, became a feature of the economy. Trouble had started for The D'Oyly Carte family in 1953 when Sir Charles Clore and Harold Samuel purchased millions of pounds of shares in separate attempts to gain a controlling interest of the hotel. ..Charles Forte, who had made most of his wealth from Travelodge, a no-frills chain of motels with attached restaurants and petrol stations, would prove the most obsessive in a long line of suitors. His bid to take over was a big-money drama that ran on and off for fifteen years and cost at least £1 million (£2.4m) in legal fees on the Savoy side alone. Ultimately, he was successful.
