^^^ records only up to 2013
This dig is non-exhaustive and should be dug further into and mapped, since
the organization is still VERY operational across the US and in the FVEY countries
(coincidence?)
BTW it wouldn't shock me if this group is involved in the Catholic
Archdiocese of Brooklyn's strongarmed, "nothing actually satisfies the
requirements we ask", gradual closing of Catholic Private schools in NYC,
only to sell them to corporations to be reopened as Charter and "Universal"
schools and "Embassies". That's been going on increasingly for the past 20
years, especially in the past 7-9.
Call for digging on this material
