Harold van Buren Cleveland was a US economist and author.
Background
He was born in New York City to Stanley Matthews Cleveland and Marian Van Buren. His siblings were Harlan Cleveland, a diplomat and fellow Bilderberger; Anne Cleveland White, an artist; and Stanley Cleveland, a diplomat.
Harold Van B. Cleveland graduated from Harvard University in 1938 and from its law school in 1942, when he joined the War Production Board as an industrial specialist.
Career
Cleveland worked for the US State Department. After the war he and Ben T. Moore, as members of the State Department's economic bureau, wrote a report outlining a program for the economic revival of Europe.
Their study and a parallel one from the department's policy planning staff were submitted to Gen. George C. Marshall, the Secretary of State, who used them to shape what became known as the Marshall Plan. Formally called the European Recovery Program, it was proposed by General Marshall in 1947.
Cleveland helped carry it out as a deputy director in the European division of the Economic Cooperation Administration. He returned to Washington as an economist for the Committee for Economic Development in the early 1950's.
He was later counsel for the John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company in Boston and director of Atlantic Policy Studies for the Council on Foreign Relations in Manhattan.
He joined Citibank in 1965, where he worked for 20 years, becoming a vice president and chief international economist.
Publications
Cleveland was the author and co-author of many books and articles, including "The Atlantic Idea and Its European Rivals (1966, McGraw-Hill for the Council on Foreign Relations), and a history of Citibank.
A Quote by Peter van Buren

| Graphika | “Who funds net nanny Graphika? Their venture capital was raised privately, in two tranches of about three million dollars each, in 2014 and 2019. We do know who they work with. Their current “Innovation Officer” is Camille François, who once worked for Google’s analytics offshoot Jigsaw before quitting to run a secretive project for the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, alongside now Graphika CEO John Kelly (no relation to the Marine.) Their December 2018 reporting helped “prove” how the Russians used social media networks like Facebook and Twitter to influence the 2016 election. Graphika also has ties to the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the Defense Department’s Minerva Initiative. If you pay to look at their stuff you realize they write like spooks, talk like spooks, and snitch out news sites like spooks. So you can decide if they’re involved in all this again because they are just good at proving Russian stuff or because they are tied to a corporate-quasi government structure alongside the intel community......What is missing from Graphika’s work is any evidence whatsoever of any actual influence on the only thing that matters: how people vote. Graphika offers nothing quantitative, claiming only that by using American freelancers PeaceData was part of the “fabric” of communities and this made them credible.” |
