Paul Schreier

Of Paul and I fame from the Feb 1 Teleconference. At first i thought he was Jeremy’s personal secretary - they seemed joined at the hip - but he’s more than that - he’s COO at Wellcome - appointed Sep 2019. 

His last gig was CEO of Hakluyt - a shadowy private intelligence gathering organization for the rich and powerful described as a retirement home for ex-MI6 - that was mixed up in the Bo Xilai scandal (before Paul’s time as CEO).  I haven't looked into Bo Xilai - but he was a then-contender with Xi Jinping.  Xi expelled him. The person murdered - Neil Heywood - was a Hakluyt employee. 

Before Hakluyt, Paul was a public-servant strategist for the Department of PM & Cabinet, Australia - under Julia Gillard. 

Canberra Insider (AFR) described his ascendancy as: important and unusually last-minute appointment.

Paul Schreier, has a very different background as a partner with McKinsey & Co and previously as a warfare officer in the Royal Navy.

So a military war planner. Doing confidential stuff. That can't be spoken.

On joining PM&C in March 2010, he was seconded to the Black review of Defence accountability for three months and returned to run the infrastructure division. Outgoing PM&C secretary Terry Moran said Schreier’s career had had a strong international flavour. “He has served governments and other public-sector organisations in the United Kingdom, Europe, south-east Asia and Africa."

Served doing what? A warfare officer running infrastructure for the One-Everything movement in the United Kingdom, Europe, south-east Asia and Africa?

Vietnam is south-east Asia. Jeremy was there (and the UK) for 17 years. Did you hook up back then?

Schreier’s specialty is warfare strategy and intelligence gathering - no wonder he was a key figure in the Feb 1 Teleconference.  At first i thought he was a bit-player. He's not. He's:

Paul & I.

Interestingly, Julia Gillard took over from Baroness Manningham-Buller at Wellcome, announced 14 May 2020, which is a tricky period.  So aLuckily Paul &was Juliaalready there to facilitate their re-unification on athe greater big-stage.

Have i got this right? At the time Covid broke, we have:

Wellcome Chair: Manningham-Buller, ex-head of MI5

Wellcome COO: Paul Schreier, warfare planner, ex-CEO of Hakluyt (a retirement home for ex-MI6)

Wellcome Director: Sir Jeremy Farrar,  One-Everything evangelist, member of the murky Oxford/Chinese Academy of Science organization specializing in genomics surveillance, co-ordinator of the Feb 1 Teleconference.

That's a weird leadership triumvirate for what's supposed to be a health charity.

That premise, that Wellcome functions as an unofficial, private security organization, beholden to God-knows-who - is looking less fanciful by the minute.
