The Commissioner Bob Kiley (chair) Prior to his appointment as Commissioner of Transport for London in January 2001, Robert Kiley served as President and Chief Executive Officer of the New York City Partnership. The Partnership, the city's leading business and civic organisation, improves the city's economic climate through advocacy and public-private initiatives in education, job creation, affordable housing, and neighbourhood development. Its membership reflects the impressive breadth of the city's private, non-profit and civic leadership. From 1991 to 1994 he was President of Fischbach Corporation, a major New York-based construction and engineering company, and in 1994 became its Chairman until assuming his position at the New York City Partnership in 1995. From 1983 until 1990, he was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). At the MTA he was responsible for five transportation agencies serving the New York Metropolitan Region where he directed the rebuilding of New York's public transportation system and restructured its management. He led successful efforts to obtain more than $16 billion from the New York State legislature for capital improvements to the city's subways and buses, commuter railroads, tunnels and bridges in the MTA region. Robert Kiley has consulted with corporations and public agencies at the Management Analysis Center (now Cap Gemini) then headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In the 1970s he was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority in Boston and served as Deputy Mayor of the City of Boston. Early in his career, he was with the CIA, where he served as Manager of Intelligence Operations and then as Executive Assistant to the Director. Robert Kiley is a Member of the Council on Foreign Relations, Board Member of the Salzburg International Seminar, the American Repertory Theater, MONY Group Inc, the Princeton Review Inc and Edison Schools, Inc. He is also on the Advisory Board of the Harvard University Center for State and Local Government.

> Council on Foreign Relations That's a good one as well. If it was an inside job then he knows exactly what happened. Namebase has him linked to Watergate as well. <a href="http://www.namebase.org/xkho/Robert-R-Kiley.html">www.namebase.org/xkho/Rob...Kiley.html</a> Council on Foreign Relations. Membership Roster. 2004 Cummings,R. The Pied Piper. 1985 (60-1) Powers,T. The Man Who Kept the Secrets. 1981 (278 ) Thomas,E. The Very Best Men. 1996 (408 ) Weissman,S. Big Brother and the Holding Company. 1974 The last book is about Watergate. I've run a quick google on the connection and he is National Student Association as well <blockquote>Quote:<hr> HERTZBERG: In that general era, Bob Kiley (ph), who is now the head of -- he`s now the head of London transport. He was head of transport -- he was head of the New York subway system and the Boston subway system. He was a figure -- he was a figure in the organization. Jeff Greenfield of CNN was not witting, but he was very active in NSA. Sam Brown, who used to be head of the Peace Corps, now very active in the Kerry campaign. <a href="http://www.booknotes.org/Transcript/?ProgramID=1801">www.booknotes.org/Transcr...ramID=1801</a> <hr></blockquote> And now it gets interesting because NSA was involved in Operation Mockingbird. It was a CIA front organization to infiltrate the peace movement organizations. <blockquote>Quote:<hr> In June, 1965, Desmond FitzGerald was appointed as head of the Directorate for Plans. He now took charge of Mockingbird. At the end of 1966 FitzGerald discovered that Ramparts, a left-wing publication, had discovered that the CIA had been secretly funding the National Student Association. (18 ) FitzGerald ordered Edgar Applewhite to organize a campaign against the magazine. Applewhite later told Evan Thomas for his book, The Very Best Men: "I had all sorts of dirty tricks to hurt their circulation and financing. The people running Ramparts were vulnerable to blackmail. We had awful things in mind, some of which we carried off." (19) This dirty tricks campaign failed to stop Ramparts publishing this story in March, 1967. The article, written by Sol Stern, was entitled NSA and the CIA. As well as reporting CIA funding of the National Student Association it exposed the whole system of anti-Communist front organizations in Europe, Asia, and South America. It named Cord Meyer as a key figure in this campaign. This included the funding of the literary journal Encounter. (20) <a href="http://demopedia.democraticunderground.com/index.php/Operation_Mockingbird">demopedia.democraticunder...ockingbird</a> <hr></blockquote> About the National Student Association <blockquote>Quote:<hr> While the NSA was somewhat liberal pertaining to domestic policy, such as with the civil rights movement, it was rabidly anti-communist in terms of foreign policy, especially within the ISC. Unknown to most was that the NSA was being secretly funded by and to a large degree controlled by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), particularly in terms of its foreign relations and its leadership. The CIA was using liberal foundations as a conduit for money to the NSA. Only a handful of NSA leaders knew of this relationship - the CIA codeword for NSA leaders who knew of the relationship was "witty". People had to sign a national security oath before being told of the relationship. If they informed people of the relationship subsequently, they could face steep legal penalties. The carrot to this stick was that "witty" students got draft deferments due to their CIA work. The NSA-CIA relationship was revealed in Ramparts magazine in 1967. The revelations caused a shake-up in the NSA. In 1971 the National Student Lobby broke off from the NSA. In August of 1978, the National Student Lobby merged with the National Student Association to form the United States Student Association. <a href="http://demopedia.democraticunderground.com/index.php/National_Student_Association">demopedia.democraticunder...ssociation</a> <hr></blockquote> Edited by: <A HREF=http://p097.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=drdebugdu>DrDebugDU</A> at: 7/14/05 12:52 pm

Former CIA agent Bob Kiley has been drafted in to try to save London's ailing Tube network. ... Robert R. Kiley was born in Minneapolis, the son of a manager of a Woolworth store. Educated at the renowned Notre Dame University, Indiana and at the Graduate School at Harvard, he joined the Central Intelligence Agency in 1963 after having been the leader of a CIA-funded student organisation. Although former colleagues insist that he is not a "spook", Kiley travelled the world in the 1960s fighting communism and spying on radical students before settling down as the executive assistant to that most frigid of all Cold War warriors, the director of central intelligence, Richard Helms. He left the CIA in 1970 and went into management. Then tragedy struck. His first wife and two children died in a car crash. His father died two months later and Bob Kiley threw himself in to his work. <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1113837.stm" target="top">news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1113837.stm</a>

Because you always see the same names over and over again in all the scandals. I made a mistake with the Watergate link though. It seems that his reference in that book is mostlikely related to the National Student Association. If this guy is 'witty' (ie. one of the CIA infiltrators in the National Student Organisation) it means that he has knows exactly how to feed disinformation because that would have been his role in the beginning of his career. It is funny that an American who was a CIA agent suddenly turns up in London. He had a career in metro systems (Boston, New York) and London is of course the supreme Underground of them all. Undergrounds aren't only for mass transport of people. There are a lot more tunnels and transport system in a huge metropolis like London and the person running the London Underground Transport knows exactly what is below the street level including what is around the Parliament buildings, Downing Street, the Ministries. Because there are metro tubes running very close to those building and close to the other structures. So why would you want a CIA agent to know about that?

by **GDN01** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 5:24 pm

He left the CIA - and then tragedy struck. Did anyone else blink after reading that?

by **RebelYell** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 5:33 pm

I not only blinked, I stopped reading for a moment. One can never really leave the agency, can they? I mean, it's not like you can give a two week notice and walk, right?

by **DrDebugDU** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 5:37 pm

> One can never really leave the agency, can they? I mean, it's not like you can give a two week notice and walk, right? It's like the mafia. You are a spook for life. It's basically a secret organization just like the mafia, illuminati, skull and bones. There's no such thing as leaving...

by **RebelYell** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 5:50 pm

What, they think we don't know that? Ex-CIA? I always thought the only way to leave the agency was in a body bag.

This is the smokiest gun so far. The "drill" appears to have been a desktop excercise in a City company though.

One can never really leave the agency, can they? There may be exceptions. Castro seems to have no problem with Philip Agee living in Cuba.

by **antiaristo** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 6:50 pm

There may be exceptions I'd second that. Bob Kiley and Ken Livingstone are very closely connected. And they are no friends of the Blair administration. They had big fights over the part-privatisation of the tube network. Kiley/Livingstone fought Brown and the Treasury all the way to the High Court Brown was the biggest obstacle to re-admitting Livingstone to the Labour Party. Even Blair could see that the Labour Party needed Livingstone more than he needed them. Blair blocked Livingstone standing for London Mayor (this was part of the "Elect Archer" plot where Lord Jeffrey was allowed to choose his opponent. He chose Frank Dobson, and if you look at a photo of Frank you will see why.). Livingstone stood as an independent, Archer withdrew (see past posts) and Livingstone won by a landslide. Livingstone is a politician, but he IS working class and proud of it. Bob Kiley is CIA, but maybe he is working class and proud of it. Who knows?

> Bob Kiley is CIA, but maybe he is working class and proud of it. Who knows? Nobody on CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) is Working Class. It's a secret club. You cannot get in to that group unless you are part of the Elite who rules the world. CFR is Rockefeller territory. In David Rockefellers own words: <blockquote>Quote:<hr> We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during these years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries. Brother David Rockefeller C.F.R. and Trilateral Commission Founder <a href="http://www.freemasonrywatch.org/2index.html">www.freemasonrywatch.org/2index.html</a> <hr></blockquote>

Kiley also worked for Fischbach Corp., which just so happens to be the deal that brought down Michael Miliken and Ivan Boesky and their junk bonds. I don't have a link at the moment, but I'll look for one.

by **RebelYell** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 7:08 pm

... Milken was the target of a 98-count criminal indictment and a massive civil case filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The charges against him included insider trading, price manipulation, falsifying records, filing false reports, racketeering, and defrauding customers; the heart of the indictment accused Milken of "stock parking," or arranging to swap securities with his accomplice Ivan Boesky to hide their true ownership. In essence, Milken used Boesky as a front to trade stocks in companies in which Drexel had a confidential interest--earning millions for both men. In one representative case, a Milken client named Victor Posner wanted to take over a construction company called the Fischbach Corporation, but had signed an agreement barring him from attempting a take-over unless someone else either tried first or filed a form showing ownership of 10 percent of Fischbach's stock. Milken allegedly instructed Boesky to begin buying Fischbach stock and guaranteed him against any losses he might incur--in short, Milken, Posner, and Boesky conspired to achieve a take-over through fraudulent and deceptive means. The victims were Fischbach's shareholders, and Posner was eventually convicted of fraud in the case. But Milken himself never went to trial on the many charges against him: In return for pleading guilty to six relatively minor securities violations, he was fined $600 million, sentenced to prison for a decade (he served 22 months), and barred from the securities industry for life. .... <a href="http://www.prospect.org/web/page.ww?section=root&name=ViewPrint&articleId=6001" target="top">Source</a> However, Miliken was in prison before Kiley became president of Fischbach.
