Ever since watching this frightening video (Common Purpose EUs 5th Column in UK) I have been looking into the so-called charity that calls itself 'Common Purpose' and guess what...only 'communists' have a common purpose, the rest of us are expendable.
(The vid is 2hrs long, but essential to give you background)

Those within Government and Local Authorities have their 'training' paid for by the public purse, yet they are reluctant to admit even with Freedom of Information requests. It is a secret society, no-one will admit to being a member of Common Purpose, yet many senior politicians, senior police, Senior Armed Services members, and key position holders in Local Authorities are members of this secretive group.

They call it 'Leading beyond Authority'
I call it taking what you are not authorised to take, i.e. power.


We urge the nations bloggers, newspapers and those clean politicians to investigate this 'charity' urgently.

Blogger James Higham takes up the challenge, confronting these 5th Columnists.
as does Battle for Britain.

The opening page of the "Common Purpose" website is harmless enough; but click on a few links and the sinister message becomes obvious.

• a range of programmes for leaders of all ages, backgrounds and sectors
• websites for citizens who want to take the lead, people who dream of changing the world (or their part of it).

• senior decision-makers within the area covered by the programme
• interested in contributing to the future of their area.

• current responsibility as a leader through work or community activity
• involvement within the area covered by the programme
• likely contribution to the perspectives and dynamics of the group
• ability to participate fully in the Common Purpose programme.

So if you are not in a position of power already, you wont be considered as of any use to them.

It began in the UK in 1988, where it has some 45 offices, but has now taken its sun symbol logo into many countries as Common Purpose International. These include France, Germany, Ghana, Hungary, India, Ireland, Netherlands, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey. I understand it is also moving in on the United States. This is its stated goal:

'Common Purpose aims to improve the way society works by expanding the vision, decision making ability and influence of all kinds of leaders. The organisation runs a variety of educational programmes for leaders of all ages, backgrounds and sectors, in order to provide them with the inspiration, information and opportunities they need to change the world.'

From such bland descriptions come two questions immediately:
A common purpose to what end?
And 'change the world' in what way exactly?

We need answers here because Common Purpose is sweeping through the UK 'training' leaders in all areas of society and if they have a 'common purpose' we ought to know about it.

One of the Trustee's of Common Purpose International is Rudi Bogni, who has written several articles for Wilmott Magazine, here and here. Both articles very well outline the problems with our society and would appeal to most I think, but fall short on giving us the answers. Only Common Purpose have those.

Another trustee Tarek Ben Halim, is also a trustee of another organisation, The Arab Learning Initiative based in Egypt, now rebranded as Alfanar (in Arabic Alfanar means lighthouse), which appears to have similar goals, they say that 'Our goal is to promote social change in the Arab world'. We believe that achieving social change is a long term goal and requires a long term commitment they say.
They received a donation of approximately £25,000 from the Westminster Foundation for Democracy to fund one of their projects. WFD is an organisation accountable to Parliament in the UK.

The Common Purpose organisation now has training programmes in every major town and city in Britain and since 1989 more than 60,000 people have been involved with 20,000 'leaders' completing one or more programmes. These are:

Leaders: Matrix and Focus
Emerging leaders: Navigator
Very young leaders: Your Turn
Leaders who need a local briefing: Profile
National leaders: 20:20

What charity trains National Leaders ??

The official founder and Chief Executive of Common Purpose is Julia Middleton who in her profile at the Common Purpose UK Website (www.commonpurpose.org.uk) fails to mention a rather relevant fact: she was also Head of Personnel Selection in the office of John Prescott, the Deputy Prime Minister to Tony Blair.

Prescott has been the man with responsibility for creating 'regional assemblies' around the United Kingdom which are part of the plan to abolish nations and bring their powerless 'regions' under the jackboot of the European Union. He has, of course, sought to sell this policy as 'devolving power to the people'.

Prescott has common purpose with Common Purpose and Julia Middleton because they are all committed to the same end. The European superstate is designed to be centrally controlled and managed at lower levels by bland and brain dead 'leaders' who are all programmed to think the same. This is where Common Purpose comes in.

You will also see the Orwellian Newspeak technique in which the organisation claims to stand for what it is seeking to destroy - Common Purpose says its aim is to develop 'diverse' leaders, whilst creating the opposite.

Ever been on a 'diversity training' course?. Designed to make you accept all that is going on around you.

Does it begin to make sense now why Labour, Tory and Liberal all occupy the same ground.

Significant work. We aim to change the world .

I knew there was a catch!


Brian Gerrish at http://www.eutruth.org.uk discovered Common Purpose when he was involved with a group in Plymouth in the west of England helping people find jobs and one of their projects was repairing wooden boats. He said they had lots of public support and backing from the local authorities and everything was going fine. But then it suddenly changed and the council support was withdrawn. When they tried to continue alone, he said that within a short time key people were being threatened:

'When we started to explore why we were being threatened we were absolutely staggered to find a very strange organisation called Common Purpose operating in the city. And we were absolutely amazed that there were so many people involved but they were not declaring themselves ...

'[Common Purpose] was operating throughout the structure of the city, in the city council, in the government offices, in the police, in the judiciary. Essentially we discovered what is effectively, at best, a quasi secret society which doesn't declare itself to ordinary people.'

Further research has led Gerrish to establish that Common Purpose is recruiting and training leaders to be loyal to the objectives of the organisation and the European Union and preparing the governing structure for what it calls the 'post-democratic society' after nations are replaced by regions in the European Union.

'They are learning to rule without regard to democracy, and will bring the EU police state home to every one of us', Gerrish says. Common Purpose 'graduates' are increasingly everywhere, as you will see from the partial list at the end of this article.

When the organisation was given an award in 2005 by one of it clients, Newcastle University in the North East of England, it was revealed that among its graduates in that area were:
Michael Craik, Northumbria Police Chief Constable;
Andrew Dixon, Executive Director of the Arts Council England, North East;
Glyn Evans, City Centre Chaplain;
Chris Francis, Centre Manager of the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust;
Anne Marshall, Chief Officer of Age Concern;
Anthony Sargent, General Director of The Sage Gateshead;
Miriam Harte, Director of Beamish Museum; and
Sue Underwood, Chief Executive of NEMLAC (the North East Museums, Libraries and Archives Council).

Brian Gerrish has found them to be throughout the government structure with more than £100 million of taxpayers money spent on Common Purpose courses for state employees. It has members in the National Health Service, BBC, police, legal profession, religion, local councils, the Civil Service, government ministries,! Parliament and Regional Development Agencies.

Common Purpose graduate Cressida Dick issued the 'shoot-to-kill' order to police officers that led to an innocent Brazilian electrician, Jean Charles de Menezes being held down by police and shot eight times at point blank range, seven of them in the head. Cressida Dick has since been outrageously promoted from commander to deputy assistant commissioner in the Metropolitan police.

Janet Paraskeva, the Law Society's Chief Executive Officer, is also a Common Purpose graduate and there are many and increasing numbers in the law and enforcement professions.

Common Purpose meetings are held under the 'Chatham House rule' in which participants are free to use the information received but not to reveal the identity or affiliation of the source, nor anyone else participating.

Chatham House is the headquarters of the Royal Institute of International Affairs, which is part of the web that includes the Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission in the United States. It introduced the 'Chatham House rule' to keep its meetings secret while still having its policy promoted on a non-attributable basis.

Would you trust a charity that operated under the Chatham House rules?
Why does a charity need to use the Chatham House rules ?

From the efforts of the Tavistock Institute and Julia Middleton has come a common network with a common purpose that is leading to the rapid and coordinated introduction of Newspeak, political correctness and 'management initiatives' that lead us ever further down the road to tyranny.

Common Purpose even have their own communications network.
