I just discovered something new on the http://thehansofoundation.org website!
In the letter that I posted above, the Director of the Global Welfare Consortium is Jacques Maillot. His letter, Sept. 19th 2005, is very critical of the Hanso Foundation.
If you click on his signature you are shown another letter that is apologizing for the "heated and alarmist tone" of the previous letter. This new letter is signed by the new Acting Director of the Global Welfare Consortium - Peter Thompson.
Peter Thompson is an Executive in the Hanso Foundation.... simply put, when the Global Welfare Consortium started putting pressure on the Hanso Foundation, the Hanso Foundation simply replaced the Global Welfare Consortium's Director with one of their own Executives.
