European Institute of Management

"European Institute of Management"
In the Beyond Dutroux article a low-profile private intelligence firm with the name "European Institute of Management" (EIM) was discussed. It seemed to be a continuation of the private PIO intelligence group ran by Vanden Boeynants, Baron de Bonvoisin, and General Roman. They gave orders to Major Bougerol and the underground fascist militia leaders Francis Dossogne and Paul Latinus. DIA, DEA, undoubtedly CIA, NATO's stay behind, and Wackenhut connections were all over the place. This group was basically in the business of running drugs and arms for the international war against communism - part of which was exposed as the Contra affair. In this process they also tried to subvert the Belgian state in an effort to keep it as friendly to this cabal as possible. Proven methods appear to have been assassinations, false-flag terrorism, and maybe the most important, large-scale pedophile entrapment operations. In the chart below you can see the whole unofficial structure, including the approximate place PIO and later EIM would have taken up in Belgian's anti-communist underground network.

EIM appears to be a real spider in Belgium's web of intrigue. This is what was written about EIM in the Beyond Dutroux article:
"It is known that [the fascist militant group] Westland New Post, under the leadership of Latinus remained in existence until 1984. And like Dossogne [head of other fascist, subversive groups], Latinus took orders from Jean Bougerol and his PIO intelligence group, if not the DIA directly (239).
"Like Front de la Jeunesse, PIO was officially disbanded in 1981. However, Bougerol and his group did not disappear. PIO was absorbed into a completely private entity named the European Institute of Management (EIM). Bougerol was followed up by none other than long-time ambassador Douglas MacArthur II (240), a nephew of the famous general and by this time a very close friend and business associate of Sun Myung Moon (241). Like PIO had controlled Front de la Jeunesse, so EIM remained in control of Latinus' Westland New Post and likely several other aspects of the fascist underground. Marcel Barbier, head of security of WNP, joined EIM (242). Just as interesting, gendarme colonel Rene Mayerus became administrative-director of EIM (243). Mayerus had been a co-founder of the Special Intervention Squadron (Diana Group), and was a close acquaintance of Jean Bougerol, not to mention WNP members Bouhouche and Wackenhut director Calmette (244). He referred people looking for a security expert to WNP head Paul Latinus (245). After his retirement Mayerus was suspected of having spied on the BOB in Brussels for EIM and to have recruited Bougerol into EIM (246)."
This is what I knew back in 2007 when Beyond Dutroux was written. The only source on the European Institute of Management I could find at the time was the 1998 book 'De namen uit de doofpot' ('The names from the cover up'), which stated that EIM took over the functions of PIO. In general the book appeared plenty reliable, but EIM appears to be such a crucial (and a bit unreal) aspect of the whole Beyond Dutroux article that more sources would definitely have been appreciated.
In hindsight, Herwig Lerouge's book, which has been used extensively for the Beyond Dutroux article, appears to have mentioned EIM too. But the earlier-mentioned recent article of George Zimmerman about the life of Prince Alexander de Rethy (his mother and several other family members have been accused of child abuse) really came up with interesting new information:
"The prince worked in the former colony for a firm part of the group of Michel Relecom, head of the brewery group Unibra, and at that moment one of the biggest Belgian private investors in Zaire. Unibra, that was controlled by the friends of VdB [Paul Vanden Boeynants], owned a peculiar firm, the European Institute of Management (EIM), an innocent sounding name behind which a private intelligence agency was hidden."
Years before this December 2009 article, De Morgen, Zimmerman's long-time newspaper, had already published an article that prominently mentioned the European Institute of Management. The January 2006 article was about a 30 floppy disks that had been found at the home of Madani Bouhouche (accused of child abuse), the most notorious gangster in Belgian history who two months before had been killed when a tree landed on his head. The floppy disks came in the possession of De Morgen and they were able to crack one of them. On it the newspaper found an extensive client database of the questionable private investigation firm Agence de Recherche et d'Information (ARI) which Bouhouche and his partner Bob Beijer had been running in 1984 and 1985.
It turns out that this was not the average nickel and dime firm. It had hundreds of customers from all walks of life. Etienne Davignon (Bilderberg chair; accused of child abuse) once referred a U.S. Diplomat to ARI and the lawyer Jean-Paul Dumont (accused of child abuse) brought in many clients. De Morgen repeated the information from the 1998 book 'De namen uit de doofpot' ('The names from the cover up') and added additional important details:
"The database irrefutably shows that the ARI maintained direct contact and carried out assignments for the American Embassy in Brussels and the Belgian branch of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). ...
"An old acquaintance on the list of clients of ARI is the Saudi secret service agent Faez El Ajjaz who gave himself out as a journalist. In the databank Bouhouche and Beijer link him to the Vernaillen affair (the attempted assassination on the gendarme major Herman Vernaillen), the WNP and the European Institute of Management. ...
"Still other customers of ARI were recommended by former-gendarme colonel Rene Mayerus, director of the European Institute of Management, also a private intelligence service, with a seat directly across the American Embassy on the Brussels Kunstlaan. Chairman of EIM was the former American ambassador in Brussels, Douglas MacArthur II, the son of the famous general from the second world war. Owner of EIM was the late Michel Relecom, businessman with interests in Zaire, confidante of president Mobutu and chairman of the Belgian-African Chamber of Commerce. At the time, EIM had several contracts with the government of Zaire. In Belgium, thanks to Mayerus, one of the contracts the peculiar firm received was from the Department of Foreign Affairs for the security of diplomatic gatherings and high level conferences in several castle domains of the department, as the Egmont Palace. Later Mayerus brought Bouhouche and Beijer in contact with the American commercial intelligence bureau International Intelligence Inc. (Intertel). At the request of Intertel, we learn from the database, ARI for example investigated a firm which had offices on the the Brussels Meeusplein, coincidentally directly across the headquarters at the time of State Security."
Interesting, ARI provides yet another link to the DEA and to the American Embassy in Brussels. However, it was already known that Bouhouche was a friend of DEA agent Jean-Francois Buslik, who was linked to the October 1981 Vernaillen and Goffinon assassination attempts. Buslik was a friend of "DEA" agent Frank Eaton, who in turn was one of the leaders of the criminal and subversive Group G cell within the gendarmerie. So with or without ARI, Bouhouche could already be tied to the DEA.

Also interesting is that Bouhouche and Beijer themselves link Faez El Ajjaz to the Vernaillen affair (investigated large scale drug trafficking accusation against the gendarmerie and one Paul Vanden Boeynants firms; both Vernaillen and his co-investigator survived assassination attempts), the WNP and EIM. One of Ajjaz's cars was used in the assassination attempts on Vernaillen and Goffinon. Bouhouche has always been one of the unofficial suspects in this affair, but at the time he himself headed the investigation into the attempt on Goffinon. Bouhouche had close ties to the WNP, headed by Paul Latinus (DIA; NATO; PIO; CEPIC; Group G leader; committed suicide), while Ajjaz's contact at the WNP was Latinus himself. From 1981 until Latinus was suicided in 1984, EIM was in control of WNP. So no surprises there too that Ajjaz was tied to EIM by ARI.
At the time Ajjaz claimed to be a journalist working for the AFP. In reality he appears to have been a Syrian in close contact with the Saudi royal family and several Middle Eastern terrorist groups. Ajjaz has been accused of working with Count Carl Armfelt, a CIA agent and WACL member in close contact with Vanden Boeynants and de Bonvoisin, in high tech military supplies to Israel, Libanon, Lybia, Iraq, the PLO, IRA, ETA, and underground militant groups in Belgium and Sweden. Other accusations against Armfelt include that he played a large role in setting up the CIA's stay-behind network in Scandinavia and that in the Netherlands he was involved in planning the countercoup in Suriname against Desi Bouterse. The countercoup failed, because Bouterse tortured and killed all the CIA, DIA, NSC and Dutch-backed countercoup operatives. In all likelihood, Ajjaz was one of many CIA-assets along the lines described in the Cercle Pinay article.
This article really gives a lot of credence that the head of EIM indeed was Douglas MacArthur II, who would have been across the street from the American Embassy. MacArthur's link to the Moony Cult has already been mentioned.
A very chilling aspect may be that this article clearly shows that Mayerus and Bouhouche were experts in securing castles and large estates. To explain, let's again quote from the Beyond Dutroux article:
"X1 identified Madani Bouhouche as the very violent driver of the BMW who took her to 'the factory' [ASCO of Roger Boas and Israeli army ties; contained a room for snuff and abuse sessions; Dumont, Vanden Boeynants, etc. went there] and Christian Amory [close associate of de Bonvoisin family and formerly the OAS terrorist, mercenary, and Wackenhut director Jean-Francis Calmette] as a sort of slave driver who brought her and her fellow victims to recording studios or parks where older men shot at hunted children. One of the colonels [that would be either Lhost or Mayerus] belonged to that group, X1 says. Her account about these kinds of hunting parties on human game, about which X2, X3, X4 and Nathalie W. later also speak, is by far the most controversial part of her testimony... One of the individuals that was recognized used to be a driver in a service [the Diana Group] that was headed by Lhost and was in the possession of heavy black BMWs [earlier reported having seen by X1]."
One of the places these hunting parties allegedly took place was around Chateau de Chimay (another possibility would be the Merode chateau) with such men as Paul Vanden Boeynants, Baron de Bonvoisin, and the Lippens brothers participating. If these events indeed took place, it's interesting to note that Colonel Mayerus, with help from men like Bouhouche, would be the perfect candidate to oversee security.
The really new revelation here, and possibly the most important, is that EIM was owned by Michel Relecom. Who is this person?

1001 Club

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.

Relecom has passed away, but in more recent years (2006) it is possible to find Relecom's wife, vice
president 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.

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.
EIM and Permindex
Possibly the best historical comparison to the European Institute of Management is the notorious Permindex that District Attorney Jim Garrison once tied to the Kennedy assassination. A brief comparison between the two:

• Both Permindex and EIM were headed and-or owned by 1001 Club members, respectively Louis Bloomfield and Michel Relecom.
  
• Both Permindex and EIM had numerous intelligence connections. Permindex to the CIA, FBI, and Mossad through Louis Bloomfield, and more specifically to the CIA alone through Clay Shaw, Guy Banister (associated with Permindex board members), and reports in the Italian media. EIM has been discussed above.
  
• Both Permindex and EIM were staffed with very hard-right and anti-communist personnel.
  
• Both Permindex and EIM have been tied to assassinations or assassination attempts. Permindex to De Gaulle and JFK. EIM to Vernaillen and Goffinon.
  
• Permindex was tied to the OAS and assassination attempts on De Gaulle. Jean-Francis Calmette, Belgium's Wackenhut director and very close to EIM leadership, used to be an OAS terrorist.
  
• Both Permindex and EIM board members or personnel have been accused of running child abuse networks. About Roy Cohn, board member of Permindex, it was said (see Beyond Dutroux): "According to the former head of the vice squad for one of America’s biggest cities, 'Cohn's job was to run the little boys. Say you had an admiral, a general, a congressman, who did not want to go along with the program. Cohn’s job was to set them up, then they would go along. Cohn told me that himself.'" According to Garrison, Shaw and Banister worked together with David Ferrie, who is said to have been a homosexual pedophile (and had studied to become a priest). EIM has been discussed above.
