SURPRISE! COLLEAGUE OF ELIOT HIGGINS TO REPORTEDLY ATTEND BILDERBERG

A colleague of Eliot Higgins is reportedly to attend Bilderberg this year. Shiraz Maher is listed as an attendee. For the first hint at who is attending see list of Bilderberg participants.

Higgins says he is a visiting research associate at King's College London's Department of War Studies. Shiraz Maher is also an employee of the same institution, Department of War Studies at KCL.

Maher's speciality is Syria, Iraq and the Jihadis.

Is Maher aware of The Redirection, Bandar's threat to Putin that led to the incident at Ghouta on 21st August 2013, and the facilitation of the rise of Islamic State that was allowed by NATO as proposed in a US DIA report from 2012 to isolate Assad because Assad, backed by Russia, is really fucking up the plans of the Atlantic Council warmongers for total hegemony?

Maher's bio reads:

Shiraz Maher is a Senior Research Fellow and is currently coordinating the Centre’s research on the Syrian and Iraqi conflicts. He also researches the development of Salafi-Jihadi ideology, and jihadist organisations in the broader Middle East. As a result of this research he has been invited to give evidence before three parliamentary committees.

Maher is also an adjunct at Johns Hopkins University where he teaches a course on radicalisation (along with Peter Neumann), and was a visiting lecturer at Washington College during the Spring Semester of 2012.

He was also awarded the first Konrad Adenauer Foundation Fellowship in Energy Security (2012-2013) based at the European Centre for Energy and Resource Security (EUCERS) where he explored the impact of political unrest in the Middle East on energy markets.

Maher has previously worked for Policy Exchange, writing on Security and Foreign Policy. He published a series of influential studies there which attracted widespread attention across government. His report on reforming the government’s counter-terrorism strategy was described by Michael Gove, Secretary of State for Education, as ‘brilliant’, while Lord Guthrie of Craigiebank, former Chief of the Defence Staff, called it ‘remarkable’.

Maher has published widely and his research is frequently cited in the media. He has conducted fieldwork across the world and has interviewed members of the Taliban, al-Qaeda, Jabhat al-Nusrah, and Egyptian revolutionaries in Tahrir Square.
