Think I may have happened upon some more DS players? Was reading a puff piece article in the daily mail about “yacht girls” plying their trade at Cannes, and that led me on to another article about super yachts at Cannes. There was a yacht mentioned that belongs to a pair of billionaires called the Reuben brothers. These brothers are reportedly one of Britains wealthiest families which piqued my interest. So I started a little dig and quickly found that they have a private foundation linked to “Global health care and Education”. This foundation was set up in 2002 and has funded a Centre for pediatric virology (wonder if Gates is involved??) at Gt Ormond St Hospital. https://www.reubenfoundation.com/initiative/great-ormond-street-hospital-london-4/ Interesting theme for a fundraiser??
But the other interesting thing I found was that in 2012 they collaborated with the Clinton Foundation for its first event in London. They also have links to Boris Johnson and Michael Bloomberg. Their father David Sassoon Reuben was possibly one of the “Rothschild of the East” https://www.timesofisrael.com/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-opium-fueled-sassoon-dynasty-the-rothschilds-of-the-east/ who were descended from the former Treasurer of Baghdad. The reportedly started in the Carpet business (David) & scrap metal business (Simon) and then moved into property. In the 1990s they started Trans World Group https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-World_Group owning aluminum smelters across Russia?
In September 2016 they sold a 49% stake in their Global switch data centers company https://www.forbes.com/sites/daviddawkins/2019/12/11/billionaire-brothers-david-and-simon-reuben-revealed-at-the-centre-of-6-million-art-scandal/
The buyer was China’s Jiangsu Shagang Group https://www.reubenbrothers.com/reubens-finally-sell-global-switch-earn-6-3bn/ I wonder if these data centers may have been involved in the voting manipulation ? https://www.globalswitch.com/locations/overview/
The started their private foundation (majority of trustees are all family members) in 2002. Started donating to Oxford Uni in 2012 when first linked to Clinton Foundation https://www.reubenfoundation.com/clinton-presses-flesh-1000-shake/ - interesting to note that the fundraiser was held at the Old Vic tunnels near Waterloo which subsequently closed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Old_Vic_Tunnels and the artistic director for the tunnels was non other than Kevin Spacey.
The Reuben Foundation have recently donated ÂŁ80mil to have the college renamed as Reuben College. The 3 initial research themes of the college are Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning; Environmental Change, and Cellular Life.
The college is led by Lionel Tarassenko who has a background that includes working for Racal Lionel Tarassenko | Reuben College and Rolls Royce. His wife is Lady Ann Mary Elizabeth Craven, daughter of the 6th Earl of Craven It seems his father is Sergei Tarassenko who is a retired nuclear scientist, not sure if he’s the same Sergei Tarassenko who was an aide to Eduard Shevardnazde. https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1981-88v06/d99
UPDATE - having issues adding comments so will post this here - looking for CF/Reuben info I found a series of articles about the Clinton foundation and this one turned up a nugget about how WJC spoke to PedoJoe “once a week” when he was traveling all over for the CF https://capitalresearch.org/article/by-hook-or-by-crook-part-1/
Update 2 - this excerpt connects WJC to Ron Burkle who is a major shareholder in Soho House which is a “social/hotel group” that seems to operate like an Epstein type premise? Lots of accounts of working girls etc using there. Interestingly Ron Burkle was/is “friends” with Meghan Markle (who reportedly had her first “date” with Harry the dope at Soho House) and Burkle took Markle to the White House to meet Obama? https://capitalresearch.org/article/by-hook-or-by-crook-part-2/
It also outlines a controversial alumina deal that was linked to an Alumni of McGill Uni called Dahdaleh who arranged for WJC to have an honorary degree awarded and he (Dahdaleh) was subsequently charged with bribing officials ?
Yep makes you wonder how many of these are ther? I started digging cos the media keeps saying “so and so is the tightest family in the UK. But the rich lists AFAICS never mention the Rothschilds and some of the other names we know of. This Reuben family bio makes it sound like they’re rags to riches but doesn’t mention their links to wealthy family who no doubt helped fund their businesses. I just wondered who they were because I’ve never heard the name before, unlike say the Guiness or Goldsmith families? They own properties all over London apparently
