The Middletons and Chicken House Books:

The Middletons and British Airways

Carole and Michael Middleton founded Party Pieces in 1987 and have 40 staff. But they have reportedly laid off three members of staff over anxieties ahead ..

The company began when the family returned to the UK from Jordan, where Mr Middleton had been managing an international air station for British Airways... In May of 1984, the Middleton family moved to Amman, Jordan for Michael’s job. There, the Telegraph explained, Carol took her extended maternity leave from British Airways to spend time with her two girls. …

As Town&Country explained, in 1987 Carole left the travel industry behind and founded her company Party Pieces, which started as a small mail order party supply and decoration company. Now that company is estimated to be worth more than $50 million.

LOL. And the sheep swallow the fairy tale.. anyhoo..

Carol has said on their website:

My first big break was after we distributed flyers with Red House Book Club .

Some info on the company's history.

Wow! WTAF! Scholastic is part of Operation Paperclip, eh? That explains why they push Scholastic so hard in public schools. I'm giving this the New Evidence flair. Excellent work.

That is the only intelligence tie I’ve found and only that source, which is a reliable one. If anyone else can find intelligence ties, I think there’s something there. They have pretty substantial “educational resources” that “teach” about the CIA.

Ties with the wife of Prince William.

When was the last time that flair has appeared?

Definetely a new original lead then.

Vindicator

We get to deploy it from time to time. Not often, though.

This is... beyond creepy. Just goes to show that this operation is maintained by senior intelligence agents, lobbyists, and politicians...

This is pure poison for kids.

Creepy stuff. Where did yoi find out about this?

Realityinc

I was looking for book writing contests and came across theirs and the name registered as creepy for obvious reasons. Then I read that they were owned by Scholastic and remembered the Dulles stuff.
