It is headed by scientist Dr. David Ho, who was the 1996 Time magazine Person of the Year, and is located in New York City. Opening in 1991, the center was the brainchild of the Aaron Diamond Foundation headed by his widow Irene Diamond, the NYC Dept. of Health, the Public Health Research Institute and New York University School of Medicine. It became affiliated with Rockefeller University in 1996, and became part of Columbia University's medical school, Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, in 2019.

It's a four-year-old brewery that quickly blossomed in the hip New York City borough of Brooklyn. Its tasting room is a destination for beer fans across the Northeast and beyond...So why is Other Half Brewing Co. spending almost $2 million to buy and rebrand a small brewery in the Finger Lakes, one that shut down last year after just three years in business?

..When the Nedloh Brewing Co. announced it was closing last fall, "it created a perfect opportunity," Burman said...

Irish Mafia plans to open its tasting room at the intersection of Whalen Road and Routes 5 & 20 in Bloomfield around Oct. 1. It'll be the second brewery near that location: The three-year-old Nedloh Brewing Co. is just down the road.

Irish Mafia will start out with four core beers: Mighty Ego IPA; Devoted Double IPA; Impetuous Irish Red Ale and Irish Loyalty Stout. At first, those four will be brewed and packaged in cans at the War Horse Brewing Co. located in Three Brothers Wineries & Estates near Geneva. ..

For almost ten years, War Horse had its beers made under contract at CB Craft Brewers in Honeoye Falls.

Children of Kibera Foundation http://archive.is/HW71D

Charles DeSantis serves as Associate Vice President for Benefits, Payroll and Wellness and Chief Benefits Officer for Georgetown University. His connection to Kenya is through his distinguished history of service to charitable organizations. He developed an arts education program for high school-age AIDS orphans in Nairobi’s Kibera slum; serves on the board of Nyumbani, a Kenyan orphanage for children with HIV/AIDS; and also served as an advisory board member for the Children of Kibera Foundation. His passion for art and the beautiful children of Kibera was the inspiration to start the Kibera Art Institute that has just entered its second year promoting visual arts creation in the community. Charles is also the Chairman of the Board of the United States Association for UNHCR that serves refugees world-wide. In 2010 he published the book, Smart, Beautiful and Important: Teaching art to AIDS-affected orphans in Africa's largest slum.

St. Albans opened its doors to 34 students in the fall of 1909. A bequest of Harriet Lane Johnston (1830-1903), the niece and first lady of President James Buchanan, had provided for the establishment of the all-boys School and for a scholarship fund for choristers at the future Washington National Cathedral.

OUR FOUNDER: HARRIET LANE JOHNSTON https://www.stalbansschool.org/about/hi ... e-johnston

..Born in Mercersburg, Pa., in 1830 and orphaned at the age of eleven, Harriet Lane was raised by her bachelor uncle James Buchanan (she called him “Nunc”). When Buchanan became secretary of state, she attended Georgetown Visitation Convent; when he served as minister to Great Britain, she traveled abroad with him; and when he became the 15th president of the United States in 1857, she became his first lady...In 1866 Harriet Lane married Henry Elliott Johnston, a Baltimore banker and railroad builder. .. In 1883 the Johnstons established in memory of their sons the Harriet Lane Home for Invalid Children in Baltimore (now the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center).

Melissa A. Babbage - Non Executive Director and Advisory Board Member
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-babbage-4b17b518b/

Babbage is married to the Australian Ambassador to the US, Joe Hockey: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-06-11/ ... re/6539150

In all the furore prompted by Joe Hockey's comments on house ownership, the casual assumption is that the Hockey family fortune is the Treasurer's. That's insulting to the architect, designer and majority owner of their property portfolio, his wife, Melissa Babbage... Ms Babbage, an ambitious and successful investment banker with a 20-year career at Deutsche Bank behind her, is the author - and owner - of the "Hockey Portfolio".

It was she who bought the majority share in the Canberra home where rooms were rented out to visiting MPs (including her husband) - a canny investment, seeing as the family home was bought in the late 1990s, when Canberra houses were going for a song owing to the new Howard Government's public service cuts.

Christopher "Casey" Reid Cooper (born September 2, 1966) is a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia... In 2015, Cooper issued a 21-page decision dismissing a suit brought by the Florida counties of Indian River and Martin seeking to block the All Aboard Florida railway project later known as Brightline (now Virgin Trains USA) on environmental grounds. Cooper ruled that the counties lacked standing to pursue their claim, and wrote: "The Court is mindful of the vigorous debate in Central and South Florida over whether the express railway should be built. But the relative merits of the project are not for this Court to decide."

BARBARA JOSEPHS LIOTTA is a sculptor who works primarily in suspended shattered stone. Her work has been exhibited by the Phillips Collection, the Katzen Museum at American University, the Art Museum of the Americas, the Museum of the Americas, the World Bank, the Cafritz Center for the Arts, and many other venues. The US Department of State has taken her work to Pristina, Athens, Tirana, Sophia, and Addis Ababa. She is represented in many major collections including the Heather and Tony Podesta Collection, the Susan and Dixon Butler Collection, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and Montgomery College. Last year she received a Fellowship from the DC Council on the Arts and Humanities.

The Phillips Collection, America’s first museum of modern art, was opened in 1921 in historic Dupont Circle in Washington, DC, by collector and philanthropist Duncan Phillips. Duncan Phillips (1886-1966) was the son of Major Duncan Clinch Phillips, a Pittsburgh businessman and Civil War veteran, and Eliza Laughlin Phillips, whose father was a banker and co-founder of Jones and Laughlin Steel Company. The family moved to Washington, DC, in winter 1895-96.

...Under the directorship of Dorothy Kosinski since 2008, the Phillips has worked to diversify its collection, exhibitions, programs, and staff, notably hiring a full-time Chief Diversity Officer and expanding its collection and exhibitions to include more contemporary art and more works by women and people of color. The museum launched a major partnership with the University of Maryland in 2015 and opened a satellite campus in Southeast DC at the Town Hall Education and Recreation Campus (THEARC) in 2018.

THEARC houses the Washington Ballet, the Corcoran Gallery (now defunct), Covenant House DC, the Washington School for Girls, Levine School of Music as well as a medical, dental and psychiatric clinic for children.

A $34 million expansion will see a new facility to be finished this year will also house the John T. Walker School for Boys, the Children's National Health System clinic, the Phillips Collection, the Appletree Institute, and the David Lynch Foundation. It's a prestigious project with a lot of prestige attached...

On THEARC: "The celebrated Mississippi Avenue SE venue has hosted President Barack Obama twice. Its story was narrated by Gen. Colin Powell. Yoko Ono premiered her "Imagine Peace" exhibit there. NASA hosted its 50th anniversary event there. Doug E. Fresh gave a lesson on health there. It is home to nine nonprofits and a 365-seat community theater, and serves roughly 85,000 individuals annually."

Now I am not saying there's anything untoward about elite DC social circles sponsoring and supporting facilities for underprivileged children - even if I find the role of this Christopher J. Smith - who not only built and runs the facility through BBAR but also partners it with his WJ Smith Inc - rather dubious. Well I guess he has much bigger fish to fry now anyway.

However, most if not all of the non-profits involved have numerous intricate ties to the particular circle under investigation in Pizzagate: Alefantis, Maccoby-Folger, Webre, Sigmund etc, as well as the institutions (the Corcoran was founded by a master freemason, Phillips Gallery was run by a CIA operative). I could go on.

Laughlin Phillips (October 20, 1924 – January 24, 2010), also known as Loc Phillips, was an American museum director from Washington, D.C. ..Prior to his career as a museum director, Phillips served during World War II, worked as an analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and co-founded a local magazine...

He began working for the CIA after earning a Master of Philosophy degree. Around this time Phillips married Elizabeth Hood with whom he had two children, Duncan and Liza. The couple later divorced and he married his second wife, Jennifer Stats Cafritz. While working for the CIA, Phillips was stationed in several locations, including Saigon and Tehran.[1] He left the CIA and in 1965 co-founded the Washingtonian magazine, a venture with his former college roommate and CIA colleague, Robert J. Myers.
