1978 and 1987 1001 Club membership lists. First published by ISGP.
Reading that this Michel Relecom since at least 1981 was the kingpin of the special relationship between Belgium's big business establishment and Zaire's dictator Mobutu Sese Seko, and that he was chairman of the Belgian-African Chamber of Commerce, the first thing that came to mind was that, like Mobutu, he might have been a member of the 1001 Club. And lo and behold, Relecom's name can be found on both the 1978 and 1987 membership lists of the 1001. As already discussed in another article, other Belgian members of the 1001 Club were Count Rene Boël (family member accused of trafficking in children; works closely with Solvay, Lippens, Davignon) , Pierre Solvay (family continually linked to child abuse), Baron Daniel Janssen (accused of trafficking in children; works closely with Solvay, Lippens, Davignon) and Count Leopold Lippens (accused of child abuse by multiple sources). In hindsight of the Beyond Dutroux article all these (interrelated) families are rather questionable. At least one non-authoritative source has stated that Relecom used to be a member of the aristocratic Cercle des Nations back in the 1970s and early 80s. Let's cite from the Beyond Dutroux article again:
"In 1969, Vanden Boeynants set up Cercle des Nations with a number of his political allies, including Baron de Bonvoisin and Paul Vankerkhoven (secretary-general of Otto von Habsburg's and Alfredo Sanchez Bella's CEDI; founder of the Belgian branch of the WACL, also in 1969). Cercle des Nations was a private, aristocratic club, which started out with about 80 members who generally were royalist, staunchly anti-communist, pro-Nato, pro-European integration and highly fascist. Examples of the Cercle's fascist tendencies include the April 1970 reception in honor of the fascist colonels that ruled Greece, the January 1976 celebration of the 10th anniversary of Papa Doc's Haitian dictatorship, and its magazine's continuous support for the apartheid in Africa, and the dictatorships of Pinochet, Franco and Salazar [add to this list Mobutu]. The Cercle has been tied to organized crime and more than a few of its most prominent members have been accused of child abuse and child murder. Think, for instance, of Baron de Bonvoisin, Paul Vanden Boeynants, Jean-Paul Dumont, Count Herve d'Ursel, Roger Boas, Charly De Pauw, Guy Mathot, Ado Blaton, General Rene Bats, Philippe Cryns and the de Merode family. ...
Interestingly, [Jean] Violet [founder of the international intelligence supergroup Cercle Pinay] is known to have been a member of Cercle des Nations ... It's probably no surprise to learn then that most, if not all, of these men, including Violet, belonged to Opus Dei and the Knights of Malta (261). It's also known that Violet, Vankerkhoven and Jonet worked closely with Otto von Habsburg (262)."
Going back to the 1001 for a minute, next to Relecom, Baron Laurent Wolters has also been added to ISGP's more detailed 1001 Club membership list. Wolters has been the long-time executive president-chairman of Belgium's national oil firm Petrofina. It was active worldwide, and also had an operation in Zaire in partnership with British Petroleum.
As it turns out, Baron Wolters's granddaughter has been married to Olivier Lippens, a cousin of the notorious Maurice and Leopold Lippens (both accused of child abuse by multiple sources) and son of Paul Lippens. Olivier is definitely not a stranger to his cousins, as Paul, Maurice and Olivier can be found on the board of Iscal Sugar. Besides that, Société Générale and Groupe Bruxelles Lambert (GBL) were the largest shareholders of Petrofina, followed by the Fortis Group and Sofina. Families as Lippens, Davignon and Boël, but also Selliers de Moranville and Janssen were running the banks with an interest in Petrofina. That's undoubtedly why Maurice Lippens' good friend Etienne Davignon (remember, accused of child abuse) used to be a vice president of Petrofina. All very familiar names, unfortunately.

Patrice Lumbumba. First prime minister of an independent Zaire/Congo in 1960. CIA and Belgian intelligence sided with the mining and other corporations and first tried to breakaway Zaire's most important province, Katanga, headed by Moise Tshombe. This didn't last. Eventually a CIA trained and supported Mobutu overthrew Lumumba, and was tortured and mudered by this group. After some initial difficulties, 1001 Club member Michel Relecom later became a huge promoter of Mobutu, who really was a sadistic and ruthless dictator. Coincidentally, another 1001 Club member, diamond dealer Edgar Parser, who had top level CIA connections, was a huge promoter of Tshombe in the early 1960s, in direct opposition of President Kennedy. Parser wanted to become Ambassador to Belgium but failed. The 1001's founder, Prince Bernhard, also could get along with Mobutu very well.
Relecom has passed away, but in more recent years (2006) it is possible to find Relecom's wife, vicepresident of Unibra, as member of the honorary committee of the Diner-Dialogue Belgium-Congo of SOS Children's Villages (SOS Kinderdorpen). Among the other dozen or so honorary members are Etienne Davignon and Olivier Lippens. http://www.isgp.eu/miscellaneous/New_bey...1_link.htm
