Center for a New American Security

The Center for a New American Security (CNAS) is a militarist pressure group founded in February 2007. Despite its claims to be 'an independent and nonpartisan research institution', the group appears to have an over representation of Democrats. Its concerns broadly mirror those of the Project for the New American Century, with emphasis on equipping the US for a new global conflict.

Center for the Study of Political Islam

250px|thumb|right|Center for the Study of Political Islam logo, circa 2015 Credit: [http://www.cspipublishing.com/ CSPI Publishing] 
Center for the Study of Political Islam (CSPI) is a Nashville-based, for-profit organization founded by former Tennessee State University physics professor Bill French. 
The organisation is a leading opponent of the construction of a mosque in Murfreesboro. A lengthy investigation by Bob Smietana of The Tennessean described one of French's appearances at an event opposing the mosque:
:With an American flag as a backdrop, French paced back and forth like the Church of Christ ministers he heard growing up. His message: how creeping Shariah law is undermining the very fabric of American life.
:"This offends Allah," said French, pointing to the flag on the wall. "You offend Allah."
:French, who has no formal education in religion, believes Islam is not a religion. Instead, he sees Islam and its doctrine and rules — known as Shariah law — as a totalitarian ideology.
:In his 45-minute speech, he outlined a kind of 10 commandments of evil — no music, no art, no rights for women — taken from his book Sharia Law for Non-Muslims. The speech was free, but his books, penned under the name "Bill Warner," were for sale in the back and ranged from about $9 to $20.Bob Smietana, Does anyone profit from spreading anti-Muslim fear? Some do, The Tennessean ($ paywall), 24 October 2010

Central Asian Logistics

Frankfurt-based air cargo company.
==Equatorial Guinea - The Wonga Coup==
::Merz and Du Toit grew to know each other and Merz helped supply planes and air crew for Du Toit's aviation company PANAC. Central Asian Logistics provided an Antonov and an Ilyushin 76. Merz also contracted an Armenian flight crew through a firm called Tiga Eiri. Du Toit later recalled: "These agreements were brokered by Mr Gerhard Merz on my behalf sometime in December 2003. The two aircraft were brought to Malabo on the 8 and 10 January 2004 respectively." On 12 February Mann, through his Logo Logistics paid Merz's air company nearly $125,000. Investigators later concluded that Merz had joined the plotters as their 'transportation officer'. He would pay a heavy price.The Wonga Coup, by Adam Roberts, Profile Books, 2006, p127-128.

Central Fund of Israel

The Central Fund of Israel is a US charity based in New York.Central Fund of Israel, Charity Navigator, accessed 22 September 2010.
In July 2010, the New York Times reported on the fund's role in funding Jewish settlements in the West Bank:
::A prominent clearinghouse is the Central Fund of Israel, operated from the Marcus Brothers Textiles offices in the Manhattan garment district. Dozens of West Bank groups seem to view the fund as little more than a vehicle for channelling donations back to themselves, instructing their supporters that if they want a tax break, they must direct their contributions there first. The fund’s president, Hadassah Marcus, acknowledged that it received many checks from donors “who want them to go to different programs in Israel,” but, she said, the fund retains ultimate discretion over the money. It also makes its own grants to needy Jewish families and monitors them, she said, adding that the fund, which collected $13 million in 2008, was audited and complies with I.R.S. rules.Jim Rutenburg, Mike McIntire and Ethan Bronner, Tax-Exempt Funds Aid Settlements in West Bank, New York Times, 5 July 2010.

== Background ==
The centre for confidence and well being is based around the idea that people in Scotland suffer from a lack of confidence and that improvements to quality of life be it for health, education or employment can only be brought about through their confidence and sense of self belief.
The centre has many influential connections. It was officially opened in 2004 by then first minister Jack McConnell. Notable Scottish media figures have spoken favourably about the centre. It is also jointly running the vanguard programme in conjunction with the Scottish parliament’s Futures Forum. This programme teaches community organisations about the power of optimism and positive psychology

Centre for Conflict Studies, extract from The "Terrorism" Industry

The Centre for Conflict Studies, organized in 1980, is at present directed by David Charters, who once served as its co-director under Maurice Tugwell, now of the Mackenzie Institute for the Study of Terrorism, Revolution and Propaganda. Charters and Tugwell both completed graduate work in "war studies" at King's College, London, and have worked together on various projects, including a paper for the U.S. National Defense University and National Strategy Information Center entitled "Special Operations and the Threats to United States Interests in the 1980s." Both Charters and Tugwell are advocates of the doctrine of low-intensity conflict and the use of pre-emptive retaliation against suspected terrorists, terrorists confined exclusively to those identified as such in the frame of the Western model.
Although CCS was established at the University of New Brunswick, it teaches no courses and its staff is not on the faculty. It is more "a private company operating as an idiosyncratic kind of University protectorate." Its work consists largely of contract projects with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Canadian Police College, the U.S. Department of Defense, and NATO. For NATO, it produced a document entitled 'On the Soviet Threat to NATO'. 
Charters currently edits 'Conflict Quarterly', the journal of the Centre for Conflict Studies. Tugwell, Paul Wilkinson, and Stephen Sloan of the consulting and security firm Booz, Allen and Hamilton are among the members of its editorial advisory board.
