February 27, 2008 (LPAC)—London-based WPP Group owns Penn, Schoen & Berland, whose president Mark Penn is Hillary Clinton's chief advisor. The same British lobbying octopus also owns BKSH, whose chairman Charles Black is the lead advisor to John McCain; and WPP also owns Ogilvy Government Relations, whose leader Wayne Berman is McCain's Washington DC finance co-chairman and senior advisor.

In 2005, WPP's Penn, Schoen & Berland advised then-Republican Michael Bloomberg in his re-election campaign against the Democratic candidate. They also advised British Prime Minister Tony Blair on his 2005 election campaign.

Penn, Schoen founder Doug Schoen, having shared in the firm's 2001 buy-out bonanza from London, and in the $16 million that Bloomberg's 2005 campaign paid them, has now authored a new book pushing Bloomberg for President, Declaring Independence: The Beginning of the End of the Two-Party System, released in February 2008. In the book, Schoen explains the strategies for undermining the Democratic and Republican parties and installing what would amount to a corporatist fascist regime connected with potential independent Presidential candidate Bloomberg.

Schoen also details how he and Mark Penn sabotaged the Bill Clinton Presidency from within. As Clinton advisors acting in tandem with attacks from the Newt Gingrich-led Republicans, Penn and Schoen pressured President Clinton to move away from traditional Democratic Party concerns for the General Welfare, and toward the "fiscal conservative" policies represented by Gingrich, Bloomberg, and the City of London financiers.

Mark Penn, while serving now as Hillary Clinton's chief advisor, is also the chief executive of WPP's Burson-Marsteller, which is the parent company for BKSH, making Penn the boss of John McCain's lead advisor, Charles Black, the BKSH chairman. Penn's advice to Clinton has recently been fought by other advisors and leading staff who want hard-hitting messages on the economic "free-fall collapse" to go out from the Clinton campaign.

In April 2005, Mark Penn created a new joint venture of his Burson-Marsteller and Quinn Gillespie (also owned by WPP), called 360Advantage. The new public affairs outfit's most famous client is the Weekly Standard—the neo-conservative magazine that has been in overdrive to trash the campaign of Penn's client, Hillary Clinton.
