- Murden & Co.
- Friends of Bilderberg Inc.
- The Ditchley Foundation. " The Ditchley Foundation was established in 1958 to advance US-UK understanding following World War II." "Ditchley is one of the hidden gems of the Transatlantic relationship . . . its role as a clearing house for ideas; a forum for debate and discussion; and a magnet for policymakers gives it a unique status. It is the intellectual expression of 'soft power' and a tribute to the pre-eminence of reason and rational debate." [1]
Murden & Co and Friends of Bilderberg Inc.
The Bilderberg Group's North American headquarters in New York City, aptly called "American Friends of Bilderberg, Incorporated", is located on the third floor of a Manhattan townhouse at 39 East 51st Street. It exists under the auspices of a self-proclaimed "public relations firm" called Murden and Company.
Significantly, one of Murden and Company's "clients" in the past has been the Trilateral Commission. In a letter dated June 1977, Charles Muller, chief executive of Murden and Company, wrote that "for a period of time we counseled the Trilateral Commission about the organisation and distribution of publications and on communications".
In addition to its relationship with the Bilderberg Group and the Trilateral Commission, Murden and Company "undertakes special assignments of varying sorts". One of these assignments, according to Muller's letter, "was the establishment, in 1966, of the Center for Inter- American Relations to fill a need for more active communications between Latin America and the United States private sector.
It was in 1975 that Murden and Company officially became American Friends of Bilderberg, Inc. In this capacity, Murden and Company supplies the electronic translation and taping equipment used at Bilderberg Conferences. American Friends of Bilderberg, Inc. is registered in the United States as a charity and may therefore solicit tax-free contributions for Bilderberg from corporations and private individuals. [2]
Murden & Co and The Ditchley Foundation
Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of Murden and Company is that it is also The American Ditchley Foundation. This foundation, in coordination with the British Ditchley Foundation, sponsors select, Bilderberg-like gatherings at Ditchley Park, a remote estate of over a thousand acres in the Oxfordshire countryside.
The first Anglo-American Ditchley Conference took place in 1962, the same year that Murden and Company was established in New York City. [3]
