Bullshit. Influence is minimum at best, sometimes they sleaze someone in a
role, but that's for their own interests. NSA and CIA interests. Spokes-person
interests. Taking the job is pay back in many cases.
The fact is, wether your an entertainer or not, when someone hires you and/or
gets you a gig or job, all you owe them is a job well done.
If you get bullied and any protection recketeering contact your union or local
police, avoid 911 services sometimes they have it forwarded to a car for Mental
Health Team purposes.

On the secular front, Opus Dei is well represented throughout Latin America,
where it has penetrated all levels of government, the military, and the
business and financial establishments. In Peru, for example, Opus Dei forged
a coalition of business and banking leaders with high-ranking bureaucrats
that gave its backing to President Alberto Fujimori. When Tupac Amaru rebels
seized the Japanese embassy last December, creating the 126-day hostage
crisis, Fujimori called upon Archbishop Juan Luis Cipriani, from the
mountain diocese of Ayacucho, to mediate - over the head of the Archbishop
of Lima, Cardinal Augusto Vargas Zamora, a Jesuit. Cipriani, one of seven
Opus Dei bishops in Peru, is now favoured to succeed Cardinal Vargas, who is
past the retirement age, as archbishop of Lima, which traditionally means
promotion to the cardinalate.
Opus Dei's fortunes in Europe have been less certain. The exception is
Spain, where its political influence regained considerable potency after
last year's electoral victory of the conservative Jose Maria Aznar. A devout
Catholic whose wife is close to Opus Dei, Prime Minister Aznar's government
is laced with Opus Dei dignitaries.
Opus Dei's political ideology has changed little since the 1950s when two of
its leading strategists, Rafael Calvo Serer, a former director of the
Spanish Institute in London, and Florentino Perez -Embid, published their
treatises on Opus Dei as a Catholic regenerator with worldwide reach.
They maintained that the emergence of a new Spain within the European
Community presented a God-given opportunity to recreate a form of militant
Catholicism initiated by Holy Roman Emperor Charles V in the 16th century.
Charles V was known as God's viceroy on earth. His imperial policies brought
Spain to the height of her creative success, but they also aggravated the
European rift between Catholics and Protestants and ended up bankrupting the
empire. Nevertheless he placed on Peter's throne two popes of his choosing.
Calvo Serer and Perez-Embid reasoned that with galloping secularism
overtaking the Western world, the only way to revitalise Christianity was to
resume the Catholic crusade of Charles V - not this time with the resources
of a single nation, but through a powerful and vital transnational Catholic
movement, headed by Opus Dei. Like the Spanish empire of old, Opus Dei's
new-look Holy League was to have large-spectrum antennae in Latin America
and the United States.
Opus Dei's American influence blossomed during the Reagan administration.
The prelature placed its agents inside the White House and recruited among
the middle ranks of the Pentagon. Under Clinton, the situation is more
ambiguous, with the exception of the FBI, whose director, Louis Freeh, is
said to be a supernumerary (non-celibate) member. When asked for
confirmation, Freeh declined to respond, having an FBI special agent reply
in his stead. (The official FBI spokesman in Washington had never heard of
Opus Dei.) 'While I cannot answer your specific questions, I do note that
you have been 'informed' incorrectly,' John E Collingwood stated, without
giving further details.
However it seems that Special Agent Collingwood was himself 'misinformed',
as Opus Dei subsequently admitted that Freeh's brother, John, was indeed a
celibate director of the Work's large centre in Pittsburgh.
In Belgium, France, Germany, and Italy, Opus Dei members are highly placed
in the commercial and central banking sectors and within the government
bureaucracy. Opus Dei was introduced to the Catholic aristocracy of Europe
by former Queen Fabiola of Belgium, who is related through the House of
Aragon to the Spanish Borbon family. One of Opus Dei's bitterest reversals
occurred earlier this year when a Belgian parliamentary commission placed
the organisation on a list of dangerous religious sects, proposing
legislation to bring them under stricter control.
Opus Dei was handed another setback by the Socialist victory in France,
where it has strong connections among the business establishment. President
Chirac's wife, Bernadette Chodron de Courcel, although not a member, is a
strong Opus Dei sympathiser. Under Alain Juppe, Opus Dei members held
several important cabinet positions, controlling government policy on social
communications, proposing legislation to repenalise homosexuality and
playing a key role in the privatisation of TF1, a national television
channel.
