GMRC (Global Meteor Response Council)
– International organisation set up by the world’s nations for the protection and preservation of humanity, civilisation and all life on Earth.
Consisting of twenty-five divisions, the majority of the GMRC’s policies and actions are carried out by a core of twelve divisions (see table below). Each of these divisions operates under one or two of the following three criteria:

PUBLIC: Activities disclosed to society

COVERT: Activities not disclosed to society

CLASSIFIED: Existence not disclosed to society

NASA
– The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (civilian space agency of the United States government) / www.nasa.gov

CNSA
– The China National Space Administration (civilian space agency of the People’s Republic of China) / www.cnsa.gov.cn

ESA
– The European Space Agency (civilian space agency of Europe) / www.esa.int

RFSA
– The Russian Federal Space Agency (civilian space agency of Russia) / www.federalspace.ru

Smithsonian Institution
– World renowned collective of research centres and museums in the United States of America / www.si.edu

[Author note: I always thought the Institution was called the Smithsonian Institute, but apparently this is a common misnomer.]

Smithsonian Museum of Sanctuary (SMS)
– Located in USSB Sanctuary and administered by the Smithsonian Institution, the Museum of Sanctuary is a vast resource on the extinct species, Homo giganthropsis (commonly referred to as the Anakim).

The Committee
– A secret society of power elites operating outside the law. Little is known about the global organisation, its members, structure or purpose, however, its near limitless wealth and influence hints at a long and illustrious heritage.

Skull & Bones
– A secret society founded in 1832 at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, USA. Exclusive to undergraduate seniors at the college, its members are called ‘Bonesmen’.

Bilderburg Group
– With a membership made up of the political elite and leading lights from the worlds of big business, banking, academia and the media, the group holds an annual conference behind closed doors to promote relations between North American and European nations. Founded in 1954, the meetings consist of up to one hundred and fifty members and continue to this day / www.bilderbergmeetings.org

Freemasons
– Perhaps the most well known secret society. The history of freemasonry is long and convoluted, and unfortunately, due to the nature of their clandestine dealings, the organisation leaves itself wide open to numerous accusations and theories of corruption and nefarious works. Whether these have foundation is open to conjecture; however, like any group, they will suffer from exploitation from within, although considering their overriding message of ‘
brotherhood’
, to a greater degree (pardon the pun) from without.

Anti-Masonic Party
– As the name suggests, this political party was set up in order to combat the rise of freemasonry amongst the United States establishment in the 1800s. Founded in 1828, it was dissolved in 1838 as public support waned.
