Great find Ian. just goes to prove even the established civil liberties campaigners at the very top have been bought off one way or other.

[keithm]

i have as much trust in her motives as i do george galloway,

it wouldn't suprise me one bit if the pair of them worked for MI5 or MI6.

[Mark Gobell]

Or some sort of purposeful, agenda centric, erm, anyway . . .

Is Reeta Chakrabarti, the BBC journo, her sister, do we know ?

More on Shami Chakrabarti:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shami_Chakrabarti

After graduating from the London School of Economics gaining an LLB, Chakrabarti worked as a barrister at the Home Office from 1996 after qualifying as a barrister in 1994, before joining Liberty on 10 September 2001. She is an alumna of the British-American Project, which promotes Anglo-American relations.[1]


[edit] Liberty
She spent the following two years campaigning against the anti-terrorist measures which followed the 11 September 2001 attacks in the United States , such as Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 (ATCSA), and is a prominent opponent of recent counter-terrorism legislation. She is a frequent contributor to BBC Radio 4 and to various newspapers on the topic of human rights and civil liberties.

In December 2005, the BBC Radio 4 Today programme ran a poll of listeners to establish "who runs Britain". After many hours of debate involving subject matter experts, Today placed Shami Chakrabarti on the shortlist of ten people who may run Britain. Listeners were then invited to vote for their choice, choosing President of the European Commission José Manuel Barroso in a poll which the Eurosceptic United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) later admitted to rigging[2].

She was shortlisted in the Channel 4 Political Awards 2006 for the "Most Inspiring Political Figure" award. It was voted for by the public and she came second to Jamie Oliver, beating Tony Blair, David Cameron, George Galloway and Bob Geldof. [1]

Originally the British-American Project for the Successor Generation, the British American Project was founded in 1985 by Nick Butler to perpetuate the close relationship between the United States and Britain[1]. The project was launched by former British Steel chairman, Sir Charles Villiers with support from London's Royal Institute of International Affairs and the School for Advanced International Studies in Washington, D.C.[2] It has a membership of around 600 leaders and opinion formers from both countries. It holds an annual conference to which journalists are not invited and rarely appears in the media, although many members are themselves journalists.

Since its official formation it has received sponsorship from, among other companies, Coca-Cola, Unilever, Monsanto, Saatchi and Saatchi, Phillip Morris, Coopers & Lybrand, American Express, Apple Computer, British Airways, BP, Cadbury Schweppes and Camelot.

Each year, 24 new participants are selected from a large depth and breadth of intellectual and influential society on both sides of the Atlantic. At the start of each year, each existing member can nominate up to three people aged between 28 and 40. These nominees are then interviewed and tested: there are competitive debates, management games and personal presentations. Nominees are selected according to their willingness to listen to other people and their ability to assimilate with the existing group. The selective nature of the organisation's membership, and its transatlantic focus, have earned it the nickname "Junior Bilderberg".

The patrons of the British American Project are Lord Carrington, a former Secretary General of NATO, Philip Lader, former U.S. Ambassador to Britain, George J. Mitchell, former United States Senate Majority Leader, and Lord Robertson, another former Secretary General of NATO.

[uselesseater]

I've always had deep suspicions about this woman. She is the perfect image of 'civil liberties' for the establishment i.e. limp, mousey, female and ethnic. Thus giving the subliminal implication that 'civil liberties' are only for criminals , immigrants or terrorists.

And as Newspeak shows she is indeed in the very thick of it when it comes to globalist organisations docterines like the LSE founded by the Fabian Soc where all the Rhodes scholars go.

[keithm]

they are sisters.

[Mark Gobell]

I thought so.

No evidence.

No youtube videos.

No Home Office / Ministry of Justice / Liberty / BBC admission.

To me, Sami and Reeta just look alike.

Might even have the same parents ?

Who are whom ?

So . . .

Sami has to be a Civil Liberties, be the civil liberties front, plant, wearecivilliberties.com surely . . .

Otherwise, my mind's glass eye must need a skim...

Antecdents, most welcome

Harriet Harman was Legal Officer for the NCCL from 1978-1982; Patricia Hewett was also a prominent member of NCCL.
Peter Hain, that intrepid Anti-apartheid campaigner of old, has he really 'seen the light', or was he an 'asset' all the time (perhaps explaining his survival)? I am aware about the ham-fisted Special Branch attempt to 'frame him' for an armed robbery, but that could have just been a 'street cred' booster.

I have written to Shami two or three times (unfortunately I can't find copies) re 9/11, on at least one occassion I believe I enclosed DVD's, but I know I handed her a DVD with covering note at a meeting, but to date have had no response; I'm talking about a time-span of a year or two here.

[Chi_of_life]

I handed her a copy of the 4th bomb a while back.
She replied she would read it when she goes on holiday!
She definitely knows more than she lets on, but people like her know what they've set out to achieve so she's not going to suddenly shout it from the rooftops!

A few months later she was in the queens honours list.
