Biography

In November 2004, Gary met with a confidant to explain all he had learnt. In the process of doing research for his new book about the CIA and their involvement in corporate dealings, Gary discovered something much deeper. The Bilderberg Group was just the tip of the iceberg, Gary revealed to his friend that Abstergo was the main company pulling all strings. Listed as a shadow corporation with no stock options and nothing above the boards. Gary revealed further that their members have holdings in other companies such as Coca-Cola and Kraft, with ties even to Wall Street. Convinced that Abstergo was on their way to world domination, Gary told his friend that they even have people in the government. When asked what he would do with this information that he had just shared, Gary reminded his friend that his book would explain everything.

Gary's conversation was overheard by an Abstergo agent who reported his findings to headquarters. They instructed that the security risk would have to be taken care of.
