As usual, there's a media blackout surrounding the event - except for some British papers as the meeting is taking place in Watford, UK. This is one of the meetings where REAL decisions are taken and were policies are agreed upon. Elected politicians basically take orders from these types of elite circles. Thanks to "conspiracy theorists", the meetings get a little more attention every year. However, the few media sources that attempt to access the 5-star Grove Hotel won't be able to see much. In fact, a "Great Wall of Watford" has been erected around the premises of the hotel. Some notable attendees at this year's conference are Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde and former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger (he's a regular at all these kinds of meetings).

After stopping the vehicle, the officer realized that the driver may have been under the influence of alcohol. After she failed multiple field sobriety tests, she was taken into custody for driving under the influence of alcohol, police said. Erin James, 58, of Brookfield was arrested and charged with felony aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol, the release said.At the Riverside Police Department, James provided a breath sample which showed an alcohol content of .155, almost double the legal limit of .08. A check of her driver's license showed that her license was currently suspended stemming from a 2012 DUI arrest in North Riverside. While being processed on the DUI charge, James told the officer that the reason that she was drinking was to celebrate the fact that she would be getting her license back from that DUI arrest, police said. "James was supposed to be operating a vehicle with a breath alcohol ignition interlock device (BAIID) which would have prevented her from driving intoxicated," Riverside Police Chief Tom Weitzel said. "The fact that she was driving a vehicle not equipped with a BAIID shows that she had every intent of drinking and getting behind the wheel. Ms. James purposely drove a car that she did not own to avoid the ignition lock device and was driving back from a Forest Park bar where she was celebrating that fact that she would finally have her driving privileges back after her 2012 conviction for DUI. Ms. James is exactly the type of motorist I want kept off the road permanently under a new proposed habitual DUI law that I will be proposing in the very near future." Weitzel's proposal will include loss of driving privileges for 10 years, confiscation of vehicle and a mandatory seven year sentence upon conviction for repeat offenders, the release said. James was expected to appear in court for a bond hearing on Saturday. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=55c_1367731954 SAPD_HRT Woman Arrested For DUI Was Celebrating End Of Previous DUI Woman, Charged, DUI, Celebrating Sun, 21 Oct 2012 15:07:26 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c1e_1350846151 Rosey BBC http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c1e_1350846151 Rosey Wisconsin spa 'mass shooting' in <span class="highlight">Brookfield</span> shooting, wisconsin, usa Thu, 17 Nov 2011 20:35:48 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b42_1321579869 neosporin Video of two Occupy Toronto protesters getting arrested Tuesday morning at Yonge and King during a march to Brookfield Place.

Sunil Singh is in jail on charges he raped and beat the teenage girl in the basement of a Wauwatosa apartment complex in March. According to court documents obtained by 12 News, Singh went offered a fellow inmate money in August in exchange for killing the girl. In the documents, investigators said they have taped conversations where Singh tells the other inmate to "kill her, throw her in the garbage." He went on say "if you finish, if no witness in court, I win my case." Singh then gave the inmate codes to the safe at the gas station where he used to work, telling him to rob the store as payment. Singh is now facing two more felony charges and an additional 18 years behind bars if convicted. http://www.wisn.com/r/25045597/detail.html http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c66_1284889711 Zipper10 <span class="highlight">Brookfield</span> Man Accused Of Putting Hit On 14-Year-Old Girl Murder for hire, teen, testify, rape, beating, Milwaukee, Wis Wed, 30 Sep 2009 10:35:11 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f77_1254320925 gregory_peckory By Mike Johnson of the Journal Sentinel Posted: Sept. 29, 2009 Town of Brookfield detective Tony Bertram Waukesha - A Town of Brookfield police detective arrested Monday is suspected of trying to extort a horse from a woman in exchange for his promise not to tell authorities that he was sexually assaulted by the woman's sister when he was a child, according to a court document filed Tuesday. The woman's sister denied that she abused detective Anthony Bertram, 36, when he was a boy, according to the document filed by Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel during a court appearance for Bertram. No charges were formally filed against Bertram on Tuesday, but Waukesha County Court Commissioner Martin Binn said that based on the affidavit filed for a search warrant there was probable cause to believe that Bertram committed a crime and set bail at $5,000 for him. Binn gave Schimel until Nov. 2 to file a criminal complaint against Bertram. Bertram, of Waukesha, has been placed on paid administrative leave by the Town of Brookfield Police Department, which has launched a separate internal investigation, Capt. Tim Imler said. Bertram has been with the department since April 30, 2001, and earns about $63,000 annually. According to the affidavit filed by Waukesha Sheriff's Detective Robert Wepfer: Bertram approached a woman at a horse show Sept. 19 at her family farm in the Hartford area in Washington County. Bertram had taken horseback riding lessons from the woman when he was a child. He told the woman that her sister, now 48, had sexually assaulted him on an ongoing basis when he was between 11 and 14 years old. He said it ruined his life and he had spent thousands of dollars on therapy, the affidavit states. He told the woman he was aware that her sister owned several horses, including one he saw for sale on the Internet for $20,000. Then he told her he wanted closure and that he had a solution: If his sister gave him a horse, he would provide papers from his attorney stating that he would never pursue criminal charges or civil court action against the sister, the affidavit says. Bertram told the woman he had made arrangements with a female friend who would pick up a horse and board it at her property. Bertram sent the woman an e-mail on Sept. 20 confirming that he would provide a civil and criminal release in exchange for the horse, the affidavit says. The woman instead went to the authorities. At one point, investigators recorded a phone conversation Bertram had with the woman during which he said he wanted photographs and papers for the horse and suggested the woman send them to his work e-mail address. On Sept. 21, he sent an e-mail from the Police Department requesting a photo of the horse, the affidavit says. The sheriff's departments in Waukesha and Washington counties conducted a joint criminal investigation into Bertram. The Town of Brookfield Police Department learned of the investigation only about 1:45 p.m. Monday during a meeting with Waukesha County detectives, Imler said. At Tuesday's court appearance, Binn ordered Bertram to have no contact with the woman and her sister, to continue mental health treatment and not to possess any weapons. Paul Bucher, Bertram's attorney, said Bertram was devastated by the allegations. Bucher said it was a complicated matter and declined to discuss the circumstances of the case. "We want to make sure he gets the help he needs. We're grateful that we have at least 30 days to be able to look at this and work it out," Bucher said. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f77_1254320925 gregory_peckory Town of <span class="highlight">Brookfield</span> detective attempted to extort a horse, court records say cop, horse, extortion, false molestation charge Sun, 20 Nov 2011 23:45:35 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a2b_1321850328 Doyle1 Security from Brookfield Properties at Zuccotti Park were ordering anyone who stopped on the public sidewalk to move along. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a2b_1321850328 Doyle1 Security Guard Calls Me A Faggot Security guard, New York, Faggot, zuccoti park, brookfield, property Sun, 20 Jan 2013 01:23:33 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=1c1_1358662738 falsephrophet Nearly seven years after Christina Eilman wandered out of a South Side police station and into a catastrophe, her tragic entanglement with the Chicago Police Department began to come to an end Monday - with a proposed $22.5 million legal settlement that may be the largest the city ever offered to a single victim of police misconduct. Though the settlement is a staggering sum on its own, Mayor Rahm Emanuel's administration has placed a second eight-figure police settlement on today's City Council Finance Committee agenda. A $10.2 million settlement is proposed for one of the victims of notorious former police Cmdr. Jon Burge, bringing to nearly $33 million the amount aldermen could vote to pay victims of police misconduct in a single day. The latest Burge settlement would be for Alton Logan, who spent 26 years in prison for a murder he did not commit and who alleged in a federal lawsuit that Burge's team of detectives covered up evidence that would have exonerated him - a departure from previous cases that documented torture used by Burge's team to extract false confessions. The Logan case would bring the tab on Burge cases to nearly $60 million when legal fees are counted. Burge is serving 41/2 years in federal prison for lying about the torture and abuse of suspects. The settlement in the Eilman case would avert a trial detailing the events of May 2006, when the then-21-year-old California woman was arrested at Midway Airport in the midst of a bipolar breakdown. She was held overnight and then released at sundown the next day without assistance several miles away in one of the city's highest-crime neighborhoods. Alone and bewildered by her surroundings, the former UCLA student was abducted and sexually assaulted before plummeting from a seventh-floor window. She survived but suffered a severe and permanent brain injury, a shattered pelvis, and numerous other broken bones and injuries. Her lawyer and family declined to comment Monday. The case, which has dragged in the courts for six years, was set to begin trial next week. Pretrial litigation had produced scathing rebukes from federal judges of the city's behavior toward Eilman - both on the street and in court. The city's argument that it was not responsible for her injuries because she was assaulted by a gang member was blasted in a ruling from the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals this year. a ruling from the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals this year. Chief Judge Frank Easterbrook described the Police Department's release of Eilman, who is white, into a high-crime, predominantly African-American neighborhood by saying officers "might as well have released her into the lion's den at the Brookfield Zoo." While Emanuel's Law Department endured some criticism for delays in the Eilman case since the mayor took office in 2011, he has noted repeatedly that the police misconduct highlighted in these and many other cases are legacies from the Richard M. Daley administration that he - and taxpayers - are stuck with. The mayor's office referred calls to the city Law Department, but a spokesman there declined to comment. If approved, the Eilman settlement would surpass the $18 million settlement paid to the family of LaTanya Haggerty, who was mistakenly shot and killed by police in 1999. It is frequently referred to as the city's biggest single-victim settlement. Ald. Howard Brookins Jr., 21st, said city officials have not taken a hard enough line against police misconduct for years, and now taxpayers are footing the bill. "We've known this was going to bust our budget, and here we are," Brookins said. "The administration (under Daley) should have made police conduct and behavior a higher priority. They didn't, and now we're seeing these costly settlements over and over, to pay for officers mistreating people." The Logan case was set to go to trial last month, but on the first day of jury selection, city lawyers decided to settle the case. Logan's attorney Jon Loevy said the settlement includes about $1.5 million in legal fees. Logan sat in prison for 26 years until a stunning 2008 revelation after another man, convicted murderer Andrew Wilson, died. Wilson had told his attorneys in 1982 that he committed the murder in which Logan was accused, but the lawyers said the attorney-client privilege kept them from going public with the admission until after Wilson's death. Although relieved the city settled the case instead of battling on, Loevy said his client would gladly give up the $8.7 million to have nearly three decades of his life back. "I don't know who would take that much money to lose their 20s, 30s and 40s," Loevy said. "From his perspective, no amount of money can make him whole and he'd rather have his life back." While Logan lost the middle chunk of his life, Eilman dwells in a childlike mental state and feels as though she has lost the rest of her life, her family has told the Tribune. Hobbled by a brain injury that has permanently impaired her cognitive function, she lives with her parents in suburban Sacramento. She requires constant medical treatment and therapy. Doctors have said she will not get better. Eilman came to Chicago on May 5, 2006, at a time when her bipolar condition was worsening. When she tried to catch a return flight from Midway to California a couple of days later, she was ranting and screaming and appeared to be out of her mind. Police officers eventually arrested her and took her to the Chicago Lawn district near Midway. Court records and depositions in the case show that officers were alarmed by Eilman's behavior. A female sergeant called her father, Rick Paine, who told the officer Eilman had been treated for bipolar disorder the year before. One of the arresting officers testified that the watch commander ordered that Eilman be taken to a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation, per department protocols. But the officers never took her because they said they did not have a car, according to court records. Instead, Eilman was transferred to the Wentworth district lockup several miles east and held overnight. Bewildered by the changing situation, Eilman's mother, Kathy Paine, began nearly hourly calls to the Wentworth district. Over nine telephone calls to the station, Kathy Paine said she was repeatedly told to call back later until an officer told her that Eilman had already been released. Police escorted Eilman to the back door of station, and she wandered a few blocks east to a takeout restaurant, where men began to gather and talk to the petite blonde, who was dressed in a skimpy jogging suit. Witnesses said she appeared to be disoriented and behaving erratically. A short time later she walked a few blocks to the last remaining high-rise of the Robert Taylor Homes. Eilman eventually went with a group of people to a vacant apartment on the seventh floor of the public housing project. One resident said she repeatedly warned Eilman that she was not safe there. Several men asked Eilman to perform oral sex, but she refused, at one point saying she would jump out the window if touched, witnesses said. Reputed gang member and convicted felon Marvin Powell eventually demanded the others leave the apartment but prevented Eilman from going with them, saying, "I'm gonna show this bitch who the real killa is," according to witnesses. Powell was eventually convicted of abducting Eilman but not sexually assaulting her or causing her to go out the window. He served part of a 12-year sentence before being paroled last spring, while Eilman and her family were still battling the city in court. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=1c1_1358662738 falsephrophet Chicago committee to consider settling cop misconduct cases for nearly $33M Chicago committee to consider settling cop misconduct cases for nearly $33M Sun, 21 Oct 2012 14:39:09 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3b2_1350844636 Amusing http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/mall-shooting-wisconsin-brookfield-180854621.html At least seven people were hospitalized after a shooting near a mall in Brookfield, Wis., on Sunday, according to local news reports .

The lb2bn development scheme for the Swanscombe Peninsula is set to be built on the brownfield site of what was once Europe's largest cement works. The proposed park is led by a consortium including French cement firm Lafarge, Britain's Development Securities and Canadian constructor Brookfield Multiplex. The trio has set up London Resort Company Holdings (LRCH) to bring a Paramount Pictures park to fruition. It said LRCH has signed a licensing deal with Paramount for the Hollywood studio's first UK theme park on the 872-acre site. Paramount owns rights to numerous blockbuster films - including Titanic, Transformers, Braveheart and The Italian Job - which could be turned into themed rides and experiences. Project manager Tony Sefton told Sky's Eamonn Holmes: "We haven't seen anything like this in the UK before. "Job-wise this is very exciting. The direct jobs in phase one is 27,000 and that will be full-time jobs when we open. "We will announce the number of construction jobs shortly." Mr Sefton said the consortium has learned a great deal from the rehabilitation of industrial land for the Olympic Games park. He said the task should be easier at the north Kent venue, located between Gravesend and Dartford, as the soil was mainly clay-based and easy to landscape. Located adjacent to the to the Ebbsfleet International rail station, visitors could reach the venue in 17 minutes from St Pancras in central London. Plans for the site include a water park, an entertainment area with hotels and restaurants, music venues and event space. The theme park is expected to surround the other areas in a crescent shape at the end of the peninsula. "We are very lucky and we are going to learn from the amazing Olympics and the games-makers," Mr Sefton said.

Federal Industry Minister Christian Paradis announced Monday that Ottawa will review the China National Offshore Oil Corp.'s (CNOOC) $15-billion bid for Nexen under the Investment Canada Act. The federal minister will have the final say on whether the takeover goes through, based on if it's deemed a net benefit to Canada. Although the provincial government has no formal say in the matter, Energy Minister Ken Hughes said the news is further evidence of the importance of Alberta's oilsands in meeting global energy demand. "Foreign investment benefits Albertans, and Canadians, putting Canadian firms in a better position to compete globally," Hughes said. "The investment required to develop oilsands resources is significant . . . The result is jobs for Canadians here and abroad, and competitive products on an international market." The Nexen takeover is not the first Chinese state-owned enterprise foray into Canada, but it's by far the biggest. The $15.1-billion agreement is equal to the amount Chinese firms have invested in Canada's oil and gas industry over the last three years. The sheer size of the takeover will put Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the premiers to the test, forcing them to decide how to handle the future of the oilpatch, said University of Calgary economist Jack Mintz. "It's going to be fascinating," Mintz said in an interview. Debate over the Nexen deal began immediately after the news was announced Monday. Federal NDP energy critic Peter Julian said the Harper government needs to better define the criteria for a foreign sale, and the Nexen takeover should be subject to a transparent review - not decided behind closed doors. Liberal industry critic Geoff Regan said in assessing the "blockbuster" deal, the Harper government needs to determine whether Canadian companies will be given reciprocal leeway to make major investments in China - and whether the state-owned company will act according to free market principles. In Alberta, Liberal MLA Kent Hehr said the proposed sale should provoke questions about whether Albertans are losing control of their own resources. And Alberta Federation of Labour president Gil McGowan said Canadians shouldn't let a company like Calgary-based Nexen, with a major stake in the oilsands, fall into the control of a foreign government without serious reflection. "They'll keep the best jobs for themselves. They'll do the minimum to protect the environment and ignore Canada's long-term energy needs in favour of their own nation's needs," McGowan said. But Gordon Houlden, director of the University of Alberta's China Institute, said given the size of the Chinese economy, it would be strange if the Asian powerhouse wasn't investing in Canadian energy companies. He noted China is still a smaller player than Europe and the U.S. in Canada's oilpatch, but the U.S. will quickly realize it has a robust competitor north of the border. The Nexen deal is likely to draw comparisons with CNOOC's $18.5-billion bid for U.S. energy giant Unocal in 2005, a tender ultimately beaten down by political opposition on Capitol Hill. In Canada, the Harper government blocked Australian miner BHP Billiton Ltd.'s hostile bid in 2010 for Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan after political and business leaders lobbied against it. Dick Haskayne, one of those business leaders, said the onus is on Nexen and CNOOC to prove this latest deal is a net benefit to Canada. Haskayne, one of Calgary's most prominent energy executives, said Ottawa's decision needs to be shaped by the fact a number of energy companies hammered by the global economic slowdown and low natural gas prices are also ripe for a takeover. "It's going to be a critical decision," Haskayne said. "It's not just Nexen. If Nexen is approved, you know the other ones that are in the same league." Haskayne said he doesn't know all the pros and cons of the deal, but one of his key concerns is whether a pledge to keep a head office in Calgary is met. But businessman Jim Gray, who also opposed the Potash Corp. sale, said it's a good thing Canada is building a closer relationship with the country poised to become the world's largest economy. The chairman of the energy group of Brookfield Asset Management said he was concerned about Potash Corp. falling into the hands of a foreign entity because the Saskatchewan company controls one-fifth of the global resource. Control of the oilsands isn't as concentrated, Gray noted. While Nexen is a major Canadian company, much of its assets are located outside the country. "There's no parallel between those two deals," he said.
