Common Purpose - What's the Deal Then?

[endlessvista]

Just caught some of the negative comments about Common Purpose on a few threads. Can anyone give me the lowdow on this organisation? I sniffed around its Irish website and it just seems like another expensive management training group getting companies to waste money on pointless seminars.

Cheers

Have you seen the video presentations by Brian Gerrish? They're probably the best place to start.

Thanks, I'll check these out.

I was going to start a new thread about how this news story has an air of common purpose about it

When I first read that anti-terror chief Bob Quick's wife was running a limo firm from their home, the comic potential was obvious. I imagined him moonlighting as a minicab driver or chauffeuring hen parties in a stretch Panda car.

'Sierra Oscar to Gold Commander.' 'Go ahead, Sierra Oscar.' 'What is your location, Gold Commander? We've had a bomb explode outside Buckingham Palace. Over.' 'Can't talk now, Sierra Oscar, I'm P.O.B. Call you back when I've dropped off at Gatwick.'

But then I didn't expect Quick to react in such a deranged fashion, accusing the Tories of leaking the story in a 'wholly corrupt' manner and deliberately putting his family's lives in danger in retaliation for his arrest of immigration spokesman Damian Green.
015.1ST.23.jpg


In an extraordinary outburst, he said: 'I think it is a very spiteful act, possibly to intimidate me away from investigating Mr Green.' Actually, if anyone's guilty of intimidation it's Quick himself, even though he has now apologised for his inflammatory remarks. He sent the heavy mob into Green's home, searching through love letters and reducing Green's teenage daughter to tears. That's spiteful.

It was Quick who ordered the arrest of Green in a public car park and couldn't be bothered to get a warrant before barging in to the House of Commons to search Green's office.

Common purpose, you don't join them, they invite you. Their initiation ceremonies are more secretive than the Freemasons. They are a lot more dangerous, their agenda is secret, they have infiltrated most levels of government and control most of the big companies in the UK. They are listed as being a "charity" so pay no taxes yet are paid millions by local and national government for "training programmes" and "leadership" seminars. Wherever there is corruption and the mysterious deaths of whistleblowers you will find Common Purpose fingerprints.

holy fucking shit!

holy fucking shit!

indeed, possibly the most important thing to focus on right now.

They have agents everywhere, they are even in Ghana FFS. Doubtless taking money of the Ghanan government for the "seminars," which should be going to feeding hungry kids, kids who are being driven into prostitution because of poverty, Link.

I've been doing a bit of research on one of Common Purpose's front organisations, the Media Standards Trust: http://www.mediastandardstrust.org/aboutus/people.aspx

I was browsing who was on their board. The deputy "chair" is our friend Julia Middleton, of course. It also includes the BBC's economics correspondent Robert Peston.

But check out this for supreme irony...

I think I'd better make a correction to the above. CP didn't "set up" the Orwell Prize, it's been running since 1993 and was set up by Bernard Crick and the Orwell Trust.

However, the link between the prize and CP is as follows:

The Media Standards Trust receives "benefits in kind" (office space, IT support) from Common Purpose and CP's chief executive, Julia Middleton, is its Deputy Chairwoman: http://www.mediastandardstrust.org/aboutus/funding.aspx

The Media Standards Trust became a "partner" of the Orwell Prize in 2008: http://www.mediastandardstrust.org/projects/orwellprize.aspx

I first heard about them after RevelationAudioVisual sent me a DVD containing a talk by Brian Gerrish for free.

Common Purpose (CP) - a hidden menace in our government and schools

Common Purpose is the glue than enables fraud to be committed across government departments to reward pro European politicians. Corrupt deals are enabled that put property or cash into their pockets by embezzling public assets.

Although it has 80,000 trainees in 36 cities, 18,000 "graduate" members and enormous power, Common Purpose is largely unknown to the general public.

It recruits and trains "leaders" to be loyal to the directives of Common Purpose and the EU, instead of to their own departments, which they then undermine or subvert, the NHS being an example.

Common Purpose is identifying leaders in all levels of our government to assume power when our nation is replaced by the European Union. Unlike current leaders, CP leaders are taught to rule without democracy, and will bring the EU police state home to every one of us.

It has members in the NHS, BBC, the police, the legal profession, many of Britains 7,000 quangos, local councils, the Civil Service, government ministries, Parliament, and it controls many RDA's (Regional Development Agencies).

Cressida Dick is the Common Purpose senior police officer who authorised the "Shoot to kill" policy without reference to Parliament, the law or the British Constitution. Jean de Menezes was one of the innocents who died as a result. Her shoot to kill policy still stands today.

Common Purpose trained Janet Paraskeva, the Law Society's Chief Executive Officer. Surprising numbers of lawyers are CP members. It is no coincidence that justice is more expensive, more flawed and more corrupt. And no surprise the courts refused to uphold the law, when a challenge was made to the signing of the six EU treaties, which illegally abolish Britain's sovereignty.

Common Purpose is backed by John Prescott's "Office of the Deputy Prime Minister" (ODPM), and its notional Chief Executive is Julia Middleton. The Head of the Civil Service Commission is a member

It is close to controlling Plymouth City Council, where is has subverted the democratic process. Local people cannot get CP's corrupt activities published, because the editors of local papers are in CP, and refuse to let journalists publish the articles.

CP started in 1985; in the 1990’s, with its members' cross departmental influence, it was involved with what then became the disasterous New Millennium Dome Company and the squandering of £800 million; it appears £300m of this was diverted into the web of quangos set up by CP. There is a fraud case over this, stalled in the courts thanks to CP's influence in the legal profession.

Over £100 million of our money has been spend on CP courses alone, and its been hidden from the public. No published accounts, and members names are a guarded secret. It charges substantial figures for its courses. Matrix for example costs £3,950 plus VAT, and courses for the high flying ‘leader’ can be as much as £9,950 plus VAT. This money is ours, paid by government departments financing senior staff to become agents for CP, instead of loyal to their own jobs.

Common Purpose International (Ltd by guarantee) is registered as a Charity No 1056573 and describes itself as being involved in Adult education. Some charity.

Common Purpose - training our future EU rulers - continued

Potential Common Purpose subjects are ‘selected’ for training. Are they susceptible to being converted; are they in the right job, with the right colleagues and friends? Do they have power, influence and the control of money? If the candidate has some, or all of these key attributes, then the local Common Purpose Advisory Board decides if they can do the course.

Trained leaders are encouraged to act as a network, enable other members' plans, and have meetings under the so called Chatham House rules. This effectively means their statements are not attributable to them, nor can attendees reveal information heard at a Common Purpose meeting.

Council Officers are having quasi secret meetings with, for example, property developer Common Purpose friends. No agendas and no minutes. Common Purpose Graduates from the public quango sectors such as the Regional Development Agencies attend, and have the power to award large sums of public money to projects.

It is the worst national example of cronyism, closed contract bids, fraud and corruption. And unseen to the general public.

Common Purpose undermines traditionally effective and efficient government departments with an overwhelming influx of new language, political correctness and management initiatives. The talk is of empowering communities, vision, worknessless, mainstreaming (sucking EU money into a project to sustain it), community empowerment, working partnership, regeneration and celebrating diversity etc etc. Documents appear about change, and reorganisation. In time confusion rules, and things don’t seem to work properly. Management decisions are made that seem stupidly destructive. The organisational performance becomes sluggish. Undermining the NHS is Common Purposes' biggest success so far.

David Cameron, who is pro Europe, uses the language of Common Purpose; he has appointed Ken Clarke, the most committed of the pro Europeans, in charge of his “Democracy Taskforce” - rather like putting the cat in charge of the safety of mice.

Common Purpose specifically targets children from the age of 13, and more recently younger, for special leadership and citizenship training. Yes, it is active in schools, and again the average parent has no idea.

People have contacted us to speak of their experiences with Common Purpose. A common theme is its all sweetness and light, until you fail to follow the direction set by the CP leadership.

Then interesting things happen. Ladies in particular have been bullied at work, some have lost their jobs, some have become paranoid and depressed at the pressure from people ganging up on them.

A typical story is a husband describing the decline in his wife from the time she becomes a Common Purpose graduate. Loss of sparkle, enthusiasm, anxious and ‘changed’, and she initiated a divorce.

Other Common Purpose people lie when they are challenged as to their involvement.

Common Purpose candidates are given a two day residential course in which they are ‘trained’ in a closed residential environment, such as a small hotel. They are encouraged to reveal significant personal information about themselves, such as their likes, dislikes, ambitions and dreams. Discussions are then controlled by the course leaders. Some participants have likened this to Delphi technique or the application of group psychology such as Cognitive Dissonance or brainwashing.

If you suspect Common Purpose is active in your organisation, or see a pattern of incredibly bad decisions, money being wasted, notice bullying, fraud, or threats, note the names of those involved (we've tracked down over a thousand) and please contact us. And publish the truth about Common Purpose as widely as you can.

Interesting the Robert Peston connection, his role in the Northern Rock run and it's knock on effect in the US, it really blew the lid on many US and more powerful banks but it started the ball rolling.

Now you can see Common Purpose in action.

[jesuitsdidit]

of course getting us to riot cd b part of the plan, so need to think carefully b4 goin down that road..

actually, that is the final option after all else has failed.

I sent a the video link to my friend about the CP exposure and to Gerrish's site. She works for a Night Shelter, and knows one of there graduates who just happens to be the Manager, and she decided to watch the video during the night shift with other members of staff. They were GOB SMACKED !! To the point where one of them thought it best to stop watching because there are security cameras watching every move. She is going to be printing off leaflets and passing them around to everyone. She says she couldn't care less if she lost that job anyway, she is a very proactive person when it comes to corruption and worked for many movements during the 60's and 70's, i am very glad i passed this onto her because i no for a fact she will be taking things further. Needless to say its put fear among those who watched but they will be passing this info onto others now and thats simply fantastic!!
The shelter has fitted security cameras into every room to watch staff now... whats that about?? She says every day the morning shift senior staff must watch the previous nights recordings!!! Does anyone else have any stories of there work place doing this?? :confused:

Here is a video of Julia Middleton in full batshit crazy mode. Look at the wide and wild staring crazy eyes she has. She looks a like a crack addict. She does come across as someone who has been through severe brainwashing type conditioning. and also observe the vague contradictory Scientology like expressions and termimology she uses. Its total nonsense and bollocks in equal measure. Doesnt make any sense. A true sign of someone brainwashed.

Its quite obvious that Julia Middleton is a security services asset (MI5?MI6) who has gone through the same process and conditioning has the rabblerouser David Myatt who was in Combat 18, and created the satanist Order of the Nine Angles for MI5.

I am convinced that Common Purpose has been created has a Operation Gladio type organsiation to infiltrate the state and organisations with the purpose of possible "fifth columnist" type terrorism at some future time.

. . .or is she possessed?. . .

''Linking with the outer world''..... oh dear god!! :confused::eek:

[thetruthseeker]

if you look at Julia Middleton's eyes they are constantly looking down or rolling around and they portray to you that she is in some state of shock or distress. It doesn't look like someone who is comfortable in their own skin or confident in what she is saying to me.

From wikipedia *spit* :-

Julia Middleton (born in London) is the CEO of Common Purpose UK founded in 1989, and an author. Her works include Beyond Authority: Leadership in a Changing World. As well as being the CEO of Common Purpose UK she is a trustee of the UK training and leadership charity Impetus and a former member of DEMOS. Julia Middleton was an independent assessor for the Office of the Commissioner for Public Appointments and is a trustee of Alfanar and the Media Standards Trust and is also a member of the Shadow National Advisory Board of the UK National Centre for Diversity.


Early life
Julia Middleton was born in London to a Northern English family from Bolton, Lancashire. Growing up she lived in several European cities and in the US. Julia was educated at French state schools and returned to the UK at the age of 16 to sit her Baccalauréat at the French Lycee in London. Following this she attended the London School of Economics where she studied an Economics degree before going on to join Demos (UK think tank).

Her early career was spent at the Industrial Society, except for a brief time as Employee Relations Manager at Belgian oil company Petrofina.

So how does an organisation like Common Purpose get to become a charity :confused: I wonder if the oil companies are funding it ?

I would say that she had an unusual "early life" where "she lived in several European cities and in the US". I wonder what that was all about ?
