Lifeguard

An obscure private military company, or group of companies, reportedly linked to the Executive Outcomes network.
::According to a DiamondWorks document dated February 1997, the company Lifeguard Management Ltd - which was in April 1996 in an application from Indigo Sky Gems for a loan under the European Union's SYSMIN facility stated to be controlled by Branch Energy Ltd - had been contracted on April 6 1996, by Branch Energy Ltd to provide security services for the Branch Energy Ltd mining properties in the Kono area in Sierra Leone. Lifeguard Security Sierra Leone Limited, "an affiliate of Executive Outcomes" according to the DiamondWorks document, provided the services.Executive Outcomes and its tangled links, by Werner Menges, The Namibian, 7 July 1998.
==Sierra Leone==
According to Tim Spicer, Lifeguard was present in Sierra Leone at the time that Ahmed Tejan Kabbah's government was overthrown.
::By the time his government was overthrown, we also had business interests in Sierra Leone, for although Sandline does not undertake security work, we have an associate company, Lifeguard, which undertakes commercial security tasks. In 1997 Lifeguard was guarding a number of industrial concerns in Sierra leone, including a diamond mine, an industrial plant and the important Bumbuma Dam. An Unorthodox Soldier: Peace and War and the Sandline Affair, by Tim Spicer, Mainstream Publishing]] 1999, p190.
Sandline had one person in Freetown and a team in Conakry, Guinea, to back up the Lifeguard personnel.

Ligue de Défense Juive

According to the New York Times:
:The group models itself loosely on the Jewish Defense League in the United States, an organization founded by Rabbi Meir Kahane, who was assassinated in 1990, and whose Kach party was banned in Israel as racist. The American group has been listed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as a terrorist organization. The French interior minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, warned in July against “excesses” of the French League, prompting speculation that he was considering banning the group.
:The French news media has characterized the French League as a dangerous vigilante group, though experts say it is small, disorganized and less militant than its American counterpart.
:Founded in France in 2003 by former members of Betar, the youth movement linked to the Zionist leader Ze’ev Jabotinsky, the French League has roughly 400 members. They are predominantly young Sephardic men from working-class suburbs, some trained in krav maga, a hand-to-hand martial art used by the Israeli military. Critics accuse the group of advocating violence and racism, noting a past entry on the League’s Facebook page that referred to Arabs as “rats.”Dan Bilefsky A Militant Jewish Group Confronts Pro-Palestinian Protesters in France, New York Times Aug. 6, 2014.

:Five of the seven trustees of this foundation are members of the Lilly family. The remaining two are directors of Lilly companies. The Lillys are well known as right-wing aristocrats. Their foundation helped found the National Foundation for Education in American Citizenship (NFEAC), which also receives funds from Texas H. L.

Limagrain

Limagrain is a farmers' cooperative with farmers as both shareholders and stakeholders, but by 2000 Limagrain had also become the world's 4th biggest seed company, with only DuPont (Pioneer), Monsanto and Syngenta outselling it. Like those agrochemical giants, Limagrain has invested heavily in GM crop R&D and has undertaken GM field trials.
Pierre Pagesse is the president of Limagrain.
In 1994 Limagrain took over the seed production assets of the French agrochemical giant Rhone-Poulenc, through an exchange of shares, which led to the creation of Limagrain Genetics International - 83% owned by Limagrain and 17% by Rhone-Poulenc. The two companies also developed common research programmes for developing GM crops within a joint venture.
Pagesse is also the managing director of the French firm Biogemma, the biotechnology research arm of Limagrain. It was created in July 1997. In April 1998 RhoBio, a subsidiary common to Biogemma and Rhone-Poulenc was formed. RhoBio went on to become a joint venture with Aventis Crop Science and then Bayer Crop Science.
According to a report on Limagrain's innovation strategy, 'At the same time that it created Biogemma, Limagrain also made the strategic decision to concentrate on biotechnology and agro-industrial activities, and to dedicate all its resources towards this goal.' (emphasis added)
The report also notes:
'biotechnology is one of the central themes for the company; and mastering biotechnology is seen as necessary if the group is to keep its identity and independence... resources, such as the company's capacity for research and development, are [therefore] earmarked for biotechnology.'
The report identifies as a key challenge to this strategy: 'the acceptability of GMOs'. It also notes that 'ironically' investment in genomics 'may provide a way to avoid transgenic methods altogether delivering it from the current controversy'. Under the leadership of Pierre Pagesse, however, rather than controversy being sidestepped, it has been embraced. 
Limagrain also owns the United States-based company Biotechnica Agriculture. Limagrain Canada is owned by Monsanto. (Monsanto Acquires Limagrain Canada)
