OWL REVISITED
PART TWO 6/9/18
After letting the “OWL” as “One World caba[L] or Leader” idea settle a bit, I began poking around looking for “Leadership” of the “One World.”
I think we can all agree it is a pretty vast undertaking to find the ones who slink around in the background - in plain sight, as it were. Unlike many of my investigations, I stopped my immediate searches when I found a web site that seemed to be very forthcoming in the provision of offering many bunny holes for further investigation. So I am sharing with you the list of what Aspen Institute . org calls their “Cyber Group:”
There are about 32 members of the group on this page, and I was not able to simply copy it, because the pictures themselves were hot links, and could not be copied as text. The hot links led to the expanded profiles of the individuals pictured. I spent the time typing out the entire list as shown on that one page.
There are some highly recognizable names on it as well as many we’ve never heard of. But these people are at some significant levers of power, and need to be known, IMHO.
There are some retired generals, as well as high tech Factotums. Even “Liddle” Adam Schiff is in this bunch. In my estimation, this page alone has the potential to connect up a lot of different areas and people of concern. That is why I offer it in detail so that it can be used easily as a resource for further bunny holing.
Several days ago I became curious about one of the members, one Mr. Zittrain, and I offered a post on what I found when seeking to learn about him.
I INTRODUCE YOU NOW TO 32 SELF-ADORING OWLS. THIS IS THE LINK TO THAT PAGE:

[I poked around a bit on the AspenInstitute.org site and it is quite interesting to explore. There is a whole ‘nuther page outlining Leaders who are in my thinking “above” the Cyber guys in the hierarchy. For people looking for connections, this could be fertile ground as well. ]
Brilliant post thanks very much.
