Not sure if this is anything but... (Cunningham Scandal)
Scunninghamgate? I guess not...

Anyway, I was looking around for info on the phoney companies set up by Wilkes and one of them is named Akamai Info Tech. Thier website is listed as akamaiinfotech.com. While searching for info on this site, I came across this in google search:

Usage Statistics for brooksidefarm.net - May 2004
... 22, 88, 0.48%, 88, 0.56%, 1057, 0.47%, 1, 0.05%, mail.akamaiinfotech.com. 23, 83,
0.46%, 83, 0.53%, 1134, 0.50%, 1, 0.05%, ip68-107-101-191.sd.sd.cox.net. ...
ucara.org/webalizer/BROOKSIDEFARM.NET/usage_200405.html - 101k - Supplemental Result - Cached - Similar pages

Access is forbidden to view this information there is a google cache. I did manage to copy the cache site so if this turns out to be something, I have a copy. Anyway, I went to Brooksidefarm.net and it's simply a place for receptions and weddings. This made a lot of sense because one of the businesses Wilkes ran was a catering business. I thought that it might not be a real business but as it turns out it's very real. It's also run by a very real cult named the Family.

If you look down at the botton of the Brookside Farms page you'll see a link that states:
Brookside Farm is operated by Family Care Foundation.

I clicked the link and it led me to this site: http://www.familycare.org/

This looks like a very nice charitable organization but it seemed a little odd that they would be running a business while operating as a foundation. But whatever... So I look into the Family Care Foundation and I find this article in SFGATE
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/02/06/CULT.TMP

IRS documents show ties between charity, sex cult
Tax-exempt foundation that raised money for projects around world denies links to sect

Revenue Service documents filed by the Family Care Foundation, a not-for-profit charity in Southern California, show deep, ongoing ties between the organization and the Family, the evangelical sex cult rocked by a recent murder-suicide.


So appearantly, someone from Wilkes office was sending mail to Brookside Farm that is run by a Cult. This could be totally innocent because of the catering company but there could be something deeper going on with this Wilkes bust.


I recall an article I read a while back ago that discussed that W was admitted to a christian rehab center in California during a controverial point in his draft dodging days.

Here's the snippet...
http://www.insider-magazine.com/ChristianMafia.htm


Bush (Sr.) had reason to be thankful to the Christian fundamentalists. They helped his son, George W. Bush, avoid a certain court martial and prison time. On or about April 18, 1972, the Houston Police arrested First Lieutenant George W. Bush of the Texas Air National Guard for possession of cocaine. Bush and a friend were booked into the Harris County jail. Bush’s father, who was serving as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, hurriedly flew to Houston from New York and began to make the required phone calls to keep his son from receiving a court martial, dishonorable discharge, and a prison sentence. As one senior Bush business partner recalled, then-Ambassador Bush knew that junior was in “deep shit.” Senior Bush arranged for his son to serve at a religious drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in San Diego between May and November 1972. Conservative San Diego was a major center for Fellowship activities.

Junior Bush’s time in San Diego at a Christian drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is where the future President of the United States would first be given large doses of Jesus indoctrination. With Nixon’s resignation in disgrace and the Republicans taking a beating in the 1974 elections, little did the Fellowship realize what a huge catch they had made in George W. Bush. Gerald Ford’s administration vainly tried to salvage the Republican cause – but Ford would be defeated in the 1976 race against a born-again Christian, nuclear submarine commander, and former peanut farmer from Georgia named Jimmy Carter. True, Carter was an evangelical Christian but he was not the type favored by the Fellowship and their big business allies, especially two key members of the Ford administration, Chief of Staff Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. And Ford’s CIA Director, George H. W. Bush, was miffed when Carter did not invite him top stay on as spy chief. Bush would have his revenge against the upstart former Governor of Georgia and peanut farmer soon enough.


I know this "connection" is a giant tin-foil hat leap but this whole Wilkes thing is very odd. Wilkes has several companies called Group W? Does anyone else wonder if W means W? I don't know where I'm going with this as I'm simply all over the place. I'll dig into this more and if there's anything more I'll try to focus this in a bit.

7. I liked the days of W=Westinghouse or a group of radio stations.
Afraid this "W" is too far fetched for me.

4. Very interesting
I remember wondering what "Group W" means as well. Good investigating!! Could this be the same group? How many other fundie drug rehab groups are there in San Fransisco? Makes me wonder if George even went to any such thing or if it's all publicity.

6. Group W in Nebraska is a house
I looked up Group W companies and found Group W Consulting in Nebraska. The site claims to be a recruitment head-hunter establishment but Google Earth show the business is a house on a residential street.

I have no idea if these companies are linked to the G W Business but it seems like too shitty of a website to be a real company. For instance:

Ideas + Strategy = Success

There's a lot of Group W companies throughout the U.S. I found GW Holdings that rented office space in New Jersey around 02/19/2004.


Group W. Holdings, a capital assets owner and management company, signed an 8,332 square foot lease at 10 Sylvan Way in Parsippany, New Jersey.

There's Group W Media that offers no description whatsoever about who they are or what they do. But they are involved with http://aztecgolf.com/ which is a booster for the Aztec Athletics at San Diego State.

What this reminds me of is how Tom Noe burrowed into the politcal scene here in Ohio. He started mingling at Bowling Green University until they finally made him a trustee. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a similar setup. I'd bet they have operations like this in every state.
