THE
BILDERBERGERS
Bilderberg was set up by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands who 'once
wore the black uniform of Hitler’s SS' according to Alden Hatch, author
of 'H. R. H. Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands; an authorized
biography'.
Another relative of Philip was the Prussian Prince Bernhard von Lippe
who joined the Nazis while studying at the University of Berlin in 1934
and worked openly in the motorised SS. According to Newsweek (April 5,
1976) it was known that Prince Bernhard was a member of a special SS
intelligence unit in IG Farben and this had originally been pointed out
in testimony at the Nuremberg trials.
Bernhard resigned from
the SS, in 1937, when he married the future Queen Juliana of the
Netherlands. Adolf Hitler forwarded a congratulatory message though
Bernhard, who became a naturalised Dutchman.
Philip and Bernhard
remained not just distant relatives but close friends and in October,
1961, founded the World Wildlife Fund.
Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands. The Prince was the
founding chairman of the publicity-shy Western power elite, the
Bilderbergers. This shadowy and secretive group meets over a weekend in
May/June each year, under an almost total media blackout [see
deBriefings this issue]. Powerful and very influential figures from the
world of banking, business, politics, the media, trades unions and
academia are invited. Included regularly, for example, are Dr Henry
Kissinger, David Rockefeller, and Italy's "king-maker", Gianni Agnelli.
The first meeting took place in May 1954.
This, strangely, was the same year that Prince
Bernhard became head of the Johanitter Orde in Nederland, one of four
orders that make up the Chivalric Alliance of Orders of Saint John
(Alliance de Chevalerie des Hospitaliers de Saint Jean de Jerusalem).
The stated purpose of these four, known as "the Alliance"--which is
composed of northern European nations Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden
and Great Britain, the latter being an ancient order known as "the Most
Venerable Order"--is "to reduce to silence the enemies of Christ". The
headquarters of the Alliance are located in Switzerland.
These are Protestant orders rather than Catholic, but
it is of significance that, on 26 November 1963, the Alliance was
"consolidated with the signing of a joint declaration between the
Sovereign Military Order of Malta and the Most Venerable Order, at St
John's Gate, London, by the Grand Chancellor of the SMOM, the Prince of
Resuttano, and Lord Wakehurst, Lord Prior of the Most Venerable Order".
In other words, the Catholic and Protestant orders bound themselves to
work together to "silence the enemies of Christ"--a clear reference to
communism.
Interestingly, it has been suggested that the Knights
Templars were "infected" with the Johannite or Mandaean heresy that
denounced Jesus as a "false prophet" and in his place recognised John
the Baptist as the true Messiah. Meanwhile, two early Grand Masters of
the Priory of Sion are said to have had Johannite tendencies: Leonardo
da Vinci and Sir Isaac Newton. Notwithstanding that, the famous founder
of the Knights Templars, Hughes de Payens, has been accused by the
Vatican of being a Johannite.
Leaving aside this brief foray into esoteric history,
it is as well to note that Prince Bernhard, in addition to his
Bilderberg role and as head of the Dutch Johannite Order, was also an
honorary member of Himmler's SS and worked in NW7, the global
intelligence arm of I.G. Farben which acted in the interests of the Nazi
cause. The activities of NW7 in Latin America before, during and after
World War II are deeply interwoven in this story.

Daniel Estulin: Breaking
the Silence ... Bilderberg exposed!
Award-winning investigative
journalist Daniel Estulin writes: When presidents, prime
ministers, bankers and generals rub shoulders with European royalty at
the annual secret Bilderberg meeting, they discuss the business of
running markets and wars without being accountable to the public.
Bilderberg's Plans for the World
The Bilderberg group's secret annual meeting
determines many of the headlines and news developments that you will
read about in the coming months. But the Establishment media completely
black out any news of it and remain strangely reluctant to lift the
curtain hiding this major event. A number of high-ranking members of the
press who attend the annual meeting are sworn to secrecy, and news
editors are held responsible if any of their journalists "inadvertently"
report on what takes place. Yet few have ever heard of this exclusive
and secretive group of the world's most powerful financiers,
industrialists and political figures.
Although the Bilderberg group
has lost some of its past luster, on May 5-8, 2005 it met at
Rottach-Egern (in Munich, Germany) under its usual secrecy that
makes a freemasonry lodge look like a playgroup. Staff at the hotel were
photographed and put through special clearance. From porters to senior
managers, the employees were warned (under the threat of never
working in their country again) about the consequences of revealing
any details of the guests to the press.
The discussions that the Bilderbergers engaged
in this year and the consensus they reached -- deciding how the world
should deal with European-American relations, the Middle East powder
keg, the Iraq war, the global economy and how to stave off war in Iran
-- will influence the course of Western civilization and the future of
the entire planet. Ironically, they met behind closed doors, protected
by a phalanx of armed guards.
After three straight years of open hostility and
tension amongst the European, British and American Bilderbergers, caused
by the war in Iraq, the aura of complete congeniality amongst them has
returned. Bilderbergers have reaffirmed and remain united in their
long-term goal to strengthen the role the United Nations plays in
regulating global conflicts and relations.
However, it is important to understand that the
Americans are no more the "Hawks" than the European Bilderbergers are
the "Doves." Europeans joined in supporting the 1991 invasion of Iraq by
US President George Bush Senior, celebrating (in the words of notable
Bilderberg hunter Jim Tucker) the end of "America's Vietnam
syndrome." Europeans also supported former US President Bill Clinton's
invasion of Yugoslavia, bringing NATO into the operation.
UN Global Oil Tax
and Peacebuilding Proposals
A much discussed subject in 2005 at
Rottach-Egern was the concept of imposing a UN tax on people worldwide
through a direct tax on oil at the well-head. This, in fact, sets a
precedent. If enacted, it would be the first time that a
non-governmental agency (read the United Nations) directly benefited
from a tax on citizens of free and enslaved nations. The Bilderberg
proposal calls for a tiny UN levy at the outset, which the consumer
would hardly notice.
Jim Tucker, formerly of the court-killed
Spotlight magazine, wrote in the American Free Press (June 14–21,
2004) that: "...establishing the principle that the UN can directly
tax citizens of the world is important to Bilderberg. It is another
giant step toward world government. Bilderbergers know that publicly
promoting a UN tax on all people on Earth would meet with outrage. But
they are patient; it [Bilderberg] first proposed a direct world
tax years ago and celebrates the fact that it is now in the public
dialogue with little public attention or concern."
Bilderberg wants "tax harmonisation" so that
high-tax countries can compete with more tax-friendly nations --
including the United States -- for foreign investment. They would "harmonise"
taxes by forcing the rate in the US and other countries to rise so that
socialist Sweden's 58% level would be "competitive."
According to sources, an unidentified guest at
the conference asked how global taxation can be sold to the American
public. One European Union commissioner suggested using as the battering
ram the rhetoric of helping countries build peaceful, stable societies
once conflict subsides. Someone asked for the timing of the appeal. A
former commissioner mentioned that the best time to ask for cash is once
the conflict subsides and the world is subjected to brutal images of
destruction. A Norwegian Bilderberger disagreed. What looked to be Bjorn
T. Grydeland, Norway's ambassador to the European Union, said that, on
the contrary, it's much easier to get world attention and money for a
region when a conflict rages.
This was confirmed a posteriori when Denmark's
foreign minister Per Stig Moller, during a debate in the United Nations
on 26 May, stated on the record that "[i]f the international community
is not able to act swiftly, the fragile peace is at risk, with loss of
more lives as a consequence." Denmark holds the EU presidency until July
1, 2005, when it will be replaced by the UK. [The changeover took
place just before we went to press. Ed.]
Bilderbergers are planning to use what they
nominated as a UN Peacebuilding Commission, apparently to help win
the peace in post-conflict countries, as one of the tools in
secretly imposing the UN tax on an unsuspecting world population.
Jim Tucker said as much in his Bilderberg report
in the American Free Press (May 23) when he wrote: "There was some
informal discussion of timing for a vote in the United Nations on
establishing a direct global tax by imposing a 10-cents-a-barrel levy on
oil at the well-head. This is important to the Bilderberg goal of
establishing the UN as a formal world government. Such a direct tax on
individuals is symbolically important. Bilderberg's global tax proposal
has been pending before the UN for three years but the issue has been
blacked out by the Bilderberg-controlled US media."
Mark R. Warner, governor of Virginia and a
first-time Bilderberg invitee, expressed concern about how much
additional financial responsibility the United States would take on as a
result. At this point, Jose M. Durao Barroso, president of the European
Commission, expressed a view held by many within Bilderberg that the
United States does not provide a fair share of economic aid to poor
countries. My sources confirm Jim Tucker's report that "Kissinger and
David Rockefeller, among other Americans, beamed and nodded approval."
Although the US pays more into the foreign-aid
piggy bank than any country in the world, the Bilderbergers and the
United Nations are poised to demand much more funding from it to meet
the Peacebuilding proposal.
NGOs and the Global
Neighbourhood
The rise of the NGOs (non-governmental
organizations) is a development that former US President Clinton
suddenly (one day after it was discussed at Rottach-Egern)
suggested to be among "the most remarkable things that have happened
since the fall of the Berlin Wall." Ironically, Clinton's statement was
picked up by the Wall Street Journal, a paper represented at the
Bilderberg meetings by its vice-president, Robert L. Bartley, until his
death in December 2003, and its editorial page editor, Paul Gigot.
The Bilderbergers have been vigorously debating,
for the first time, whether to have unelected, self-appointed
environmental activists given positions of governmental authority on the
governing board of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) -- the
agency which controls the use of the atmosphere, outer space, the oceans
and, for all practical purposes, biodiversity. This invitation for
"civil society" to participate in global governance is described as
"expanding democracy."
According to sources within Bilderberg, the
status of NGOs would be elevated even further in the future. NGO
activity would include agitating at the local level, lobbying at the
national level and producing studies to justify global taxation through
UN organizations such as Global Plan, one of Bilderberg's pet projects
for over a decade.
The strategy to advance the global governance
agenda specifically includes programs to discredit individuals and
organizations that generate "internal political pressure" or "populist
action" that fails to support the new global ethic.
The ultimate
objective, according to sources, is to suppress democracy.
If the plan proceeds, UNEP, along with all the
environmental treaties under its jurisdiction, would ultimately be
governed by a special body of environmental activists, chosen only from
accredited NGOs appointed by delegates to the General Assembly who are
themselves appointed by the President of the United States, who himself
is controlled by the Rockefeller-Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)-Bilderberg
interlocking leadership.
This new mechanism would provide a direct route
from the local, "on-the-ground," NGO affiliates of national and
international NGOs to the highest levels of global governance. For
example, the Greater Yellowstone Coalition, a group of affiliated NGOs,
recently petitioned the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO asking for
intervention in the plans of a private company to mine gold on private
land near Yellowstone Park. The UNESCO committee did intervene, and
immediately listed Yellowstone as a "World Heritage Site in Danger."
Under the terms of the World
Heritage Convention, the United States is required to protect the park,
even beyond the borders of the park and onto private lands if necessary.
The ideas being discussed, if implemented, would
bring all the people of the world into a global neighborhood, managed by
a worldwide bureaucracy under the direct authority of a minute handful
of appointed individuals and policed by thousands of individuals, paid
by accredited NGOs, and all certified to support a belief system that to
many people is unbelievable and unacceptable.
A Lesson for Tony
Blair
Bilderbergers are celebrating the result they
wanted: the return of a much humbled Tony Blair to 10 Downing Street,
with a much reduced parliamentary majority.
European Bilderbergers are still angry at him
for supporting America's war in Iraq. While teaching Blair a useful
lesson in international politics, Bilderbergers feel he is a far safer
candidate to continue on the path of European integration than his
conservative rival, Michael Howard.
The EU Referendum in
France
The first day of secret meetings at Bilderberg
2005 was dominated by talk of the European Union referendum in France
and whether President Chirac could persuade France to vote "Yes" on 29
May. A "Yes" vote, according to sources within Bilderberg, would put a
lot of pressure on Tony Blair to finally deliver Britain into the
waiting arms of the New World Order through its own referendum on the
treaty, scheduled for 2006. Matthias Nass, Deputy Editor of Die Zeit,
wondered out loud that a "No" vote in France could undoubtedly cause
political turmoil in Europe and overshadow Britain's six-month EU
presidency starting on 1 July.
Bilderbergers hope that Blair and Chirac, whose
at times open animosity has spilled into the public arena on more than
one occasion, can work together for mutual benefit and political
survival. Another European Bilderberger added that both leaders must put
behind them as quickly as possible all past disputes on such topics as
Iraq, the liberalization of Europe's economy and the future of the
budget rebate that Britain receives from the EU, and work towards
complete European integration -- which could disintegrate if France's
often "hard-headed and obstinate people," in the words of a British
Bilderberger, do not do the right thing, meaning give up voluntarily
their independence for the "greater good" of a European federal
super-state!
A German Bilderberger insider said that France's
"Yes" vote is in trouble because of the "outsourcing of jobs." "Jobs in
Germany and France are going to Asia and Latvia [to take advantage of
cheap labour]." Latvia is one of the former Soviet republics that
have been admitted to the European Union, bringing the total membership
to 25 nations. A German politician wondered out loud how Tony Blair will
go about convincing Britons to embrace the European Constitution when,
due to the outsourcing of jobs, both Germany and France are suffering 10
per cent unemployment while Britain is doing well economically.
The Neo-conservative
Lobby
In full force was that faction: the so-called
"neo-conservatives," who have determined that Israel's security should
come at the expense of the safety of the United States and be central to
all US foreign policy decisions.
Most notable among them is Richard N. Perle, who
was investigated by the FBI for conducting espionage on behalf of
Israel. Perle played a critical role in pushing the United States into
the war against Iraq. On March 27, 2003, he was forced to resign from
the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board after it was learned he'd been
advising Goldman Sachs International, an habitual Bilderberg attendee,
on how it might profit from the war in Iraq.
Another neo-conservative figure on hand was
Michael A. Ledeen, an "intellectual's intellectual." Ledeen serves for
the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), a think-tank founded in 1943
and with which Richard Perle has long been associated. AEI and the
Brookings Institution operate a Joint Center for Regulatory Studies (JCRS),
the purpose being to hold lawmakers and regulators "accountable for
their decisions by providing thoughtful, objective analyses of existing
regulatory programs and new regulatory proposals." The JCRS pushes for
cost-benefit analysis of regulations, which fits with AEI's (and the
Bilderbergers') ultimate goal of deregulation.
These neo-conservatives were also joined this
year at Bilderberg by a handful of other former top Washington
policymakers and publicists known for their sympathies for Israel,
including: Richard N. Haass, former State Department official and
president of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR); Richard Holbrooke,
former assistant secretary of state and "father" of the Dayton Accord;
Dennis Ross, of the pro-Israel Washington Institute for Near East
Policy, effectively an offshoot of the American Israel Public Affairs
Committee (AIPAC) and the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs
(JINSA); and Paul Wolfowitz, the newly elected World Bank president.
American Criminals:
Public Policy in Private
In the United States, the Logan Act states
explicitly that it is against the law for federal officials to attend
secret meetings with private citizens to develop public policies.
Although Bilderberg 2005 was missing one of its
luminaries -- US State Department official John Bolton, who was
testifying before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations -- the US
Government was well represented in Rottach-Egern by: Allan E. Hubbard,
Assistant to the President for Economic Policy and director of the
National Economic Council; William Luti, Deputy Under-Secretary of
Defense; James Wolfensohn, outgoing president of the World Bank; and
Paul Wolfowitz, Deputy Secretary of State, an ideologue of the Iraq war
and incoming president of the World Bank. By attending the Bilderberg
2005 meeting, these people broke United States federal law.
Journalistic Whores
Bilderberg, at one time or another, has had
representatives of all major US and European newspapers and network news
outlets attend. High-ranking members of the inadequately named
"international free press" attend on their solemn promise to report
nothing. This is how Bilderberg keeps its news blackout virtually
complete in the United States and Europe.
This year's invitees included: Nicolas Beytout,
editor-in-chief of Le Figaro; Oscar Bronner, publisher and editor of Der
Standard; Donald Graham, chairman of the Washington Post; Matthias Nass,
deputy editor of Die Zeit; Norman Pearlstine, editor-in-chief of Time;
J. Robert S. Prichard, president and CEO of Torstar Media Group (Toronto
Star); Cüneyt Ulsevere, columnist for Hürriyet; John Vinocur, senior
correspondent for the International Herald Tribune; Martin Wolf,
associate editor of the Financial Times; Fareed Zakaria, editor of
Newsweek International; Klaus Zumwinkel, chairman of Deutsche Post; and
John Micklethwait, US editor of The Economist and Adrian Wooldridge,
Washington correspondent for The Economist. Micklethwait and Wooldridge
acted as the meeting's rapporteurs.
Declining Energy
Reserves and Economic Downturn
Of course, discussion at Bilderberg 2005 turned
to oil. An American Bilderberger expressed concern over the
sky-rocketing oil price. One oil industry insider at the meeting
remarked that growth is not possible without energy, and that according
to all indicators the world's energy supply is coming to an end much
faster than the world leaders have anticipated.
According to sources, Bilderbergers estimate the
extractable world's oil supply will last a maximum of 35 years under
current economic development and population. However, one of the
representatives of an oil cartel remarked that they must factor into the
equation the population explosion and economic growth as well as demand
for oil in China and India.
Under the revised conditions,
there is apparently only enough oil to last for 20 years.
- No oil spells the end of the world's
financial system -- which has already been acknowledged by the Wall
Street Journal and the Financial Times, two newspapers that are
regularly represented at the annual Bilderberg conference.
The conclusion:
expect a severe downturn in the world's
economy over the next two years as Bilderbergers try to safeguard the
remaining oil supply by taking money out of people's hands. In a
recession or, at worst, a depression, the population will be forced to
dramatically cut down their spending habits, thus ensuring a longer
supply of oil to the world's rich as they try to figure out what to do.
During cocktails one afternoon, a European
Bilderberger noted that there is no plausible alternative to hydrocarbon
energy. One American insider stated that currently the world uses
between four and six barrels of oil for every new barrel it finds, and
that the prospects for a short-term breakthrough are slim at best. This
confirms a public statement made in 2003 by IHS Energy, the world's most
respected consulting firm cataloguing oil reserves and discoveries, that
for the first time since the 1920s there was not a single discovery of
an oil field in excess of 500 million barrels.
One invitee asked for an estimate of the world's
accessible conventional oil supply. The amount was quoted at
approximately one trillion barrels. As a side note of interest, the
planet consumes a billion (1,000,000,000) barrels of oil every
11.5 days. Another Bilderberger asked about the hydrogen alternative to
oil.
The US government official
agreed gloomily that hydrogen's salvation of the world's imminent energy
crisis is a fantasy.
At the 2005 Bilderberg conference, the oil
industry was represented by: John Browne, chief executive officer of BP;
Sir John Kerr, director of Royal Dutch/Shell; Peter D. Sutherland,
chairman of BP; and Jeroen van der Veer, chairman of the committee of
managing directors at Royal Dutch/ Shell. (Queen Beatrix of The
Netherlands, Royal Dutch/Shell's principal shareholder, is a fully
fledged member of the Bilderbergers. Her father, Prince Bernhard, was
one of the founders of the group back in 1954.)
It should be noted that in late 2003, oil and
gas giant Royal Dutch/Shell announced it had overstated its reserves by
as much as 20%; in early 2004 it reduced its estimated oil and gas
reserves by about 4.5 billion barrels, but in October had to apply an
additional cut of 1.15 billion barrels in reserve estimates. In fact,
Shell's three cuts in reserve estimates prompted the resignation of its
co-chairman.
- The Los Angeles Times
(January 18, 2005) reported: "For petroleum firms, reserves amount
to nothing less than 'the value of the company'."
At Rottach-Egern in May 2005, the industry's top
executives tried to figure out how to keep the truth about diminishing
oil reserves from reaching the public. Public knowledge of the
diminishing reserves directly translates into lower share prices which
could destroy financial markets, leading to a collapse of the world
economy.
An American Bilderberger wondered what it would
take for the oil price to go back to US$25 a barrel. Another American
Bilderberger, believed to be Allan Hubbard, laconically stated that the
general public does not realise that the price for cheap oil can be the
bursting of the debt bubble. Cheap oil slows economic growth because it
depresses commodity prices and reduces world liquidity.
There is a strong indication, based on the
information reported from the Bilderberg 2005 meeting in Rottach-Egern,
that the US Federal Reserve is extremely concerned about the debt
bubble. One American Bilderberger reported that if the price of oil were
to go down to its previous low of $25 a barrel, the debt-driven asset
bubble would explode. Martin S. Feldstein, president of the National
Bureau of Economic Research, added that $50 a barrel involves greater
cash flow.
According to publicly available information, the
United States consumes daily approximately 20 million barrels of oil out
of a total world consumption of 84 million barrels. At $50 a barrel, the
aggregate oil bill for the US comes to $1 billion a day, $365 billion a
year, about 3 per cent of 2004 US gross domestic product (GDP). About
60% of US consumption is imported at a cost of $600 million a day, or
$219 billion a year.
A short, stout man asked if the surging oil
price would influence economic growth. Someone sitting in the front row
noted that higher energy prices do not take money out of the economy;
they merely shift profit allocation from one business sector to another.
After further discussion, a US General commented that war spending helps
jump-start the economy, noting that the trick to keeping the opposition
at bay is to limit collateral damage to foreign soil.
A British Bilderberger noted that oil at $120 a
barrel would greatly benefit Britain and the United States, but Russia
and China would be the biggest winners. An expert in international
relations and policy studies noted that for the Chinese this would be a
real bonanza. The Chinese import energy not for domestic consumption
but, instead, to fuel its growing cheap exports -- a cost that would be
duly passed on to foreign buyers. A European banker pointed out that
Russia could effectively devalue the dollar by re-denominating its
energy trade with Europe from dollars into euros, forcing Europe's
central banks to rebalance their foreign exchange reserves in favor of
the euro. Jean-Claude Trichet, Governor of the European Central Bank,
was present during the debate.
Globalized Trading and the Rift with
China
European and American Bilderbergers, realizing
the most urgent of needs to expand into developing markets in order to
help sustain the illusion of endless growth, have agreed to name Pascal
Lamy, a French socialist and fanatical supporter of a European
super-state, as the next World Trade Organization (WTO) president. It
should be remembered that Washington gave conditional support to Lamy's
nomination in exchange for European support of Paul Wolfowitz as head of
the World Bank.
According to insider sources within the
Bilderbergers, Lamy was chosen to help steer the global trading system
through a time of rising protectionist sentiment in rich countries such
as France and Germany, both reeling from high unemployment and reticent
to accept increasingly muscular demands for market access from emerging
economies. Third World States, for example, are insisting on cuts to EU
and US farm subsidies. The WTO liberalization drive collapsed in
acrimony in Seattle in 1999 and again in Cancun in 2003.
The Bilderbergers have secretly agreed on the
need to force the poor countries into a globalized market for cheap
goods while simultaneously forcing the poor into becoming customers. The
current rift with China is a good example, as the Chinese have flooded
Western countries with cheap goods, amongst them textiles, driving down
prices. As a trade-off, the Bilderbergers have entered into an emerging
market ripe and vulnerable to superior Western know-how. Similar
developing countries are slowly acquiring more purchasing power, and the
industrialized world is gaining a foothold in their domestic economies
by targeting them for cheap exports.
Further discussion on China was led off with
a series of rhetorical questions from the speaker.
Is China really abusing its competitive
advantage, or is it being victimized by the US and the EU?
Is a trade war imminent?
Should China revalue the Yuan (its
currency), and, if so, how should it do this?
An American Bilderberger noted that China in
2005 is one of the leading world economic powers whose actions influence
the world economy. Another American, believed to be but not positively
identified as Michael Ledeen of the American Enterprise Institute, said
that if China doesn't revalue the Yuan it would cause the entire world
trade system to go out of whack. Someone mentioned that the current
situation could be dangerous for the Chinese economy due to the creation
of excess liquidity.
Elena Nemirovskaya, founder of the Moscow School
of Political Studies, asked what would happen if the Yuan were allowed
to float freely. An economist responded that this could bring about
serious consequences to the world's financial markets. China's foreign
exchange reserves are to a large extent made up of US Treasury bills. An
appreciation of the Yuan would cause its dollar reserves to depreciate.
A German Bilderberger pointed out that this
could force the Federal Reserve to have to raise interest rates, thus
causing the current housing boom in the US to come to a screeching halt.
An oversized Dutchman pointed out that the International Monetary Fund
needs to play an active role in helping the Yuan.
"Is there a real danger, then," asked an
Italian Bilderberger, "of this dispute deteriorating into an all-out
trade war?" "Not likely," according to an unidentified blond man
from Scandinavia, believed to be a Swede, "because China has totally
integrated itself into the market economy."
An American Bilderberger and
a member of the US government noted that all the posturing is part of
the act to keep the voters back home happy.
China's moves into the Mekong region did not go
unnoticed at the conference. William J. Luti, US Deputy Under-Secretary
of Defense for Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs, explained that
China's rapid expansion into the Mekong region, comprising Cambodia,
Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, could threaten US interests in the
area. Such moves by China would give it an enhanced role in South-East
Asia.
Over the last several years, China has
invested heavily in transport infrastructure development linking
China's southwestern Yunan province and the Mekong region.
A European Bilderberger pointed out that China
is heavily dependent on oil imports. Someone asked for a figure. A tall,
lanky man with glasses, believed to be Jeroen van der Veer, Chairman of
Royal Dutch Shell, responded that some 40% of China's supply is
imported. In fact, China's move into the Mekong region is the result of
acute awareness that the country's energy supplies are vulnerable to
interference. Overall, 32% of energy supplies, China's lifeblood, passes
through the narrow and easily blocked Strait of Malacca.
Indonesia-Malaysia
Stand-off
A political and military confrontation between
Indonesia and Malaysia in the oil-rich Sulawesi Sea (both claim
territorial right to the area of Ambalat) was the topic of much
animated discussion among several American and European Bilderbergers
during Friday afternoon cocktails. An American Bilderberger waving his
cigar suggested using the United Nations to "further a peace policy in
the region."
In fact, Bilderbergers at the lounge table all
agreed that such a conflict might well give them an excuse to garrison
the disputed area with UN "Peacekeepers" and thus ensure their ultimate
control over the
exploitation of this treasure, meaning untapped oil reserves.
Nobel Peace Prize
Pressure
The appearance at Bilderberg 2005 of Nobel Peace
Prize Committee Secretary Geir Lundestad was considered likely to mean,
according to sources familiar with the discussion, a full court press by
the American, British and Israeli delegation to the Nobel committee to
prevent the Israeli nuclear technician Mordechai Vanunu from winning the
coveted award.
Vanunu spent 18 years in an Israeli prison --
eleven and a half of them in solitary confinement -- for providing
evidence of Israel's nuclear arsenal to the London Sunday Times
newspaper in October 1986. Should Vanunu win the Nobel for peace, it
would bring uncomfortable attention to the Israeli nuclear arsenal,
especially in the face of growing evidence that Israel and the United
States are about to punish Iran for trying to develop its own nuclear
weapons.
Strong pressure was applied on Lundestad not
to choose Hans Blix, the UN weapons inspector in Iraq, nor Mohamed
El Baradei, director-general of the International Atomic Energy
Agency, whom President Bush had tried to remove for not being tough
enough on Iran.
Some of this year's other nominees are US
President George W. Bush and UK Prime Minister Tony Blair for supposedly
protecting world peace; the European Union; French President Jacques
Chirac, the main culprit for the "No" vote on the European Constitution;
former Czech President Vaclav Havel; the now-deceased Pope John Paul II;
Cuban dissident Oswaldo Paya; and US Senator Richard Lugar and former
senator Sam Nunn for their Cooperative Threat Reduction Program, which
is intended to dismantle nuclear weapons left over from the Soviet
Union.
The
Iran–Russia–China Alliance
According to reports, a French Bilderberger
pointedly asked Henry Kissinger if the US Government's saber-rattling
against Iran means the beginning of new hostilities. Richard Haass, CFR
President, after asking for his turn to speak, dismissed the notion of
an Iran invasion as unrealistic due to the sheer physical size of the
country and its population size, not to mention the billions of dollars
involved in getting the operation off the ground. Up to the eyeballs in
the Iraq quagmire, the United States military is wary of any new
adventures in hostile terrain against a much healthier enemy, both
better prepared and organized.
A Swiss Bilderberger asked if a hypothetical
attack on Iran would involve a pre-emptive strike against its nuclear
sites. Richard Haass replied that such an attack would prove to be
counterproductive because Tehran's counterattack options could range
from "unleashing terrorism and promoting instability in Iraq,
Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia, to triggering oil price increases that
could trigger a global economic crisis." During dinner, according to
several sources, Richard Perle criticized Haass's position and explained
his opposition to his view.
A woman believed to be Heather Munroe-Blum,
Vice-Chancellor of McGill University, Quebec, Canada, asked a
rhetorical question about what would happen if Iran were to continue
building its nuclear arsenal. Haass replied that in this scenario,
the United States would have no choice but to grant Iran the same
status as it does to Pakistan and India.
A US General commented that the
China–Iran–Russia alliance is changing the geopolitical situation in the
area. Rapprochement between Russia and China is viewed by the
Bilderbergers as a significant event not to be taken lightly, even
though it has received little media attention in the West.
A secret US government report was cited wherein,
according to sources, the Chinese have spent upwards of several billion
dollars in acquiring Russia's latest and most sophisticated weapons
technology. Someone pointed out that the Sino-Russian alliance is not
limited to military trade and that the non-military exchange of goods
has grown 100% since the beginning of the Bush presidency.
A delegate at the conference, believed but not
positively identified by Secret Service sources to be Anatoly Sharansky,
a former Israeli Minister for Jerusalem and Diaspora Affairs, stated
categorically during Friday night cocktails that the counterweight to
the Moscow-Beijing-Tehran axis is the US-Israel-Turkey alliance. A
financial expert from a European nation intervened by stating that
Russia is much better off financially today than four years ago because
tax revenue generated by fuel and arms production and exports as a
result of heavy emphasis on military production has financed strong
growth of wages and pension incomes, boosting private consumption.
A German Bilderberger pointedly asked
Richard Perle if the "war on terrorism" will intensify over the
second term of the Bush presidency. Perle reportedly gave no reply
but screwed up his face and looked away.
The feeling of "enough is enough" wasn't
limited to the European Bilderbergers, wary of Bush's delirious,
Hitler-like proclamations of regime changes worldwide.
Bilderberg luminary Richard Haass pointedly told
Richard Perle during Saturday night cocktails that the Bush
Administration has overestimated its ability to change the world. Haass,
according to several sources at the conference, is reported to have
stated that regime change can be attractive because it is "less
distasteful than diplomacy and less dangerous than living with new
nuclear states." However, he noted: "There is only one problem: it is
highly unlikely to have the desired effect soon enough."
A Possible Attack on
Iran's Nuclear Facilities
The presence of US General James L. Jones,
Supreme Allied Commander Europe, and Retired US Army General John M.
Keane at the Bilderberg meeting in Germany suggested to us that the next
stage of the conquest is about to begin.
An American neo-con at an afternoon drink-fest
said he was convinced that the "Iranian opposition movement" will unseat
the mullahs. Nicolas Beytout of Le Figaro exclaimed: "You don't really
believe that!" A tall, bald, well-dressed Swiss gentleman, believed to
be Pascal Couchepin, head of the powerful Department of Home Affairs,
replied reflexively that it will only succeed in having the Iranians
rally behind their government. He ended by saying: "You don't know
Iranians."
Tempers boiled over momentarily when a French
Bilderberger, raising his voice, told Kissinger that "an attack on Iran
will escalate out of control." According to sources working for the CIA
and the special unit of the US Army charged with protecting the US
delegation at Rottach-Egern, both the CIA and the FBI are in open revolt
against the Bush White House.
A member of the Greek Parliament asked Eival
Gilady, strategic adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon: "What
would happen if Iran were to retaliate?" Someone pointed out that even
if the United States or Israel were to show restraint in their use of
tactical nuclear weapons, an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities would
surely not only engulf neighbor states, raising the likelihood of a
broader war, but also succeed in creating a nuclear disaster through
nuclear radiation spilling over a wide area.
As a follow-up question,
someone asked: "How much of this war
has to do with America doing its utmost to prevent Iran from becoming a
regional power?" A French Bilderberger wished to know if the impending
attack on Iran would involve the United States and Israel working in
tandem, or if it would be a NATO operation. The question was directed at
NATO Secretary-General Jaap G. de Hoop Scheffer. Another European
Bilderberger wanted to know how the US was planning to cope with three
wars simultaneously, referring to Iraq, Afghanistan and now Iran.
The reader should be reminded that there are
now 150,000 US troops deployed in Iraq who are unable to move to
another theatre of operations because of effective resistance
tactics. The Israeli delegation was pressed to answer if Israel is
prepared to use nuclear weapons against Iran.
The answer was
incoherent.
What
is so terrifying about Iran as a theatre of operations is that,
according to our deep sources (both of whom belong to the Bilderberg
group), there are two alternative dates set for the invasion. The
earliest possible date would be in the "deadest of summer," some time in
August, and the other alternative is a late autumn campaign. This
substantially confirms the information provided by Scott Ritter, the
ex-Marine turned UNSCOM weapons inspector, who stated that "George W.
Bush has signed off on plans to bomb Iran in June 2005" (Aljazeera,
March 30, 2005), although he did go on to clarify that the June date
suggests that the US and Israel are "in a state of readiness."
Russian vs American
Foreign Policy
Policy discussion began with a European
expert on international relations pointing out that over the next
several years Russia is poised to assert itself and increasingly
challenge Bush Government foreign policy goals.
Someone openly asked the committee if the world
is safer today than in 2001 and if it will be safer in four years' time.
A Dutchman responded by saying there is little doubt that the hand of
international terrorism has been substantially strengthened by the US
Government's heavy-handed policy in the Middle East. A Danish
Bilderberger wondered about what had happened to the US promise to take
a lower-key approach in Iraq -- referring to the heavy-handed tactics
employed by American troops in the siege of Fallujah, which played an
important role in alienating a large cross-section of moderate Arab
states. Additionally, the Dutchman pointed out, terrorism hasn't been
confined to the Iraq theatre of operations but has escalated across
Asia, Africa and most of the Middle East.
A blonde woman, believed to be Therese Delpech,
Director of Strategic Affairs for the Atomic Energy Commission, said
that unilateralist policy actions by the US will only succeed in
alienating friendly nations and emboldening enemy combatants.
"US is not
all-powerful ... it must coordinate its policy with other great powers
to achieve its ends."
An oil expert believed to be from Britain,
possibly Sir John Kerr of Royal Dutch Shell, focused on the oil pipeline
from Siberia to northern China. The Bilderbergers openly wondered at the
medium-term repercussions of this deal. An American investment banker
asked just how much oil is expected to flow through this pipeline.
Another member of the oil cartel offered 65-80 million tonnes per year
as a ballpark figure.
India's Missile
Tests
During Saturday night cocktails at the bar,
neo-con Richard Perle was seen and heard talking to a group of
Bilderbergers, amongst them Philippe Camus, President of the European
Aeronautic Defense & Space Company (EADS), Donald Graham of the
Washington Post and General James L. Jones about the near-future
test-firing of India's Agni 3 intermediate-range ballistic missile
capable of carrying nuclear warheads. General Jones added that such a
weapon would greatly increase India's capabilities because, according to
the four-star general, India's strategic deterrents will be able to
strike targets deep inside neighboring China. In fact, Dr M. Natarajan,
head of the prestigious Defense Research & Development Organization (DRDO),
said as much two weeks later on May 17 in New Delhi.
The 2005 German
Elections
The Bilderbergers also
discussed how to dust off the "boring" image of Angela Merkel, Germany's
"future leader," ahead of the German elections on September 18, 2005.
A short, oversized male Bilderberger offered an
opinion that in order for the widest cross-section of the German public
to accept Merkel (leader of the Christian Democratic Union
opposition) as Chancellor, it would be important to give a new
definition to the term "family values." German Bilderbergers well versed
in the conservative Bavarian collective psyche believe that Merkel, a
divorcee with a doctorate in physics, doesn't have a "reliable" enough
image to attract sufficient votes in this staunchly conservative area of
the country. According to people within earshot of the discussion, the
idea "in the up-coming campaign would be to stress the importance of
families rather than marriage as an institution."
Bilderbergers pushing Gerhard Schroeder aside in
favour of a new candidate could very well signify that, after three
years of strife between American and European Bilderbergers over the war
in Iraq, the secret society is ready to move forward with a much-revised
and more cohesive policy. It must be remembered that Schroeder, along
with French President Chirac, was one of the most vociferous European
critics of the US-led Iraq intervention.
Both Schroeder, representing
the left, and Merkel, representing the right, are owned by the
Bilderbergers. It has been the group's policy since its inception in
1954 to own both horses in the race.
For the record, every US President belongs to
the Bilderberg group or its interlocked sister organization, the Council
on Foreign Relations. Although Bush Junior didn't personally attend the
meeting in Rottach-Egern, the US government was well represented by
William Luti, Richard Perle, Dennis Ross and Allan Hubbard.
Towards a One World
Government
History teaches by analogy, not identity. The
historical experience is not one of staying in the present and looking
back; rather, it is one of going back into the past and returning to the
present with a wider and more intense consciousness of the restrictions
of our former outlook.
If democracy is the rule of the people, then
secret government agendas and sinister, influence-peddling cliques
which stand for cunning selfishness are incompatible with it. The
whole idea of clandestine spheres of influence waging secret
campaigns is therefore foreign to the notion of democracy and must
be fought with zealous determination.
Through lies and obfuscations, Bilderbergers are desperately trying to
foist onto the unwilling world population a totalitarian One World
Government, a single global currency and a syncretic universal religion.
Those of us who care deeply about
the future of politics -- domestic and international -- cannot afford to
ignore the fact that the grimly political One World Government is no
longer merely a shadow subculture. It has, in fact, emerged as the
dominant force in world affairs.

Secretive power brokers
meeting coming to Ottawa?

Wednesday, May 24, 2006
OTTAWA - The meetings of a secretive global
think-tank would bring 100 of the world's most powerful and
influential figures to Ottawa next month and make an Ottawa hotel
the host of deliberations on such weighty issues as the direction of
global oil markets and potential military action against Iran.
Reports circulating on the Internet say this
year's Bilderberg Conference will be held June 8-11 at the
Brookstreet Hotel a rumour the hotel would not confirm.
But, if a gathering in Ottawa is anything
like past Bilderbergs, invitees will be drawn from the pages of
International Who's Who, with a emphasis on political and corporate
leadership and strong representation of the oil and banking
industries. Guest lists typically include names like Kissinger,
Rockefeller and Soros.
The obsessive secrecy that accompanies
Bilderberg conferences could also draw Ottawa into the insane
conspiracy theories that surround the group. The Bilderberg has been
accused of being everything from a Zionist cabal building a single
global government to a secret star-chamber that seeks to fix the
price of oil and presidential elections.
Even some rational critics suspect the
Bilderberg's meetings set the economic and political agenda for much
of the industrialized world without any public oversight or
accountability. They denounce the Bilderberg as elitist and overly
secretive, calling it an anti-democratic gathering of ''the high
priests of globalization.''
The conference takes its name from the Hotel
de Bilderberg in the Netherlands, site of the first meeting in 1954.
The group's intent was to link governments and economies in Europe
and North America amid the Cold War. But its mandate has evolved,
and it now exerts a global influence with interests in foreign
policy in general and energy in particular.
Several Canadian political figures have
spoken at Bilderbergs, including prime ministers Pierre Trudeau and
Jean Chretien, New Brunswick premiers Bernard Lord and Frank
McKenna, and former Ontario premier Mike Harris.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper's office would
not say Tuesday if he's been invited to attend the rumoured Ottawa
meetings. Harper attended the 2003 conference in Versailles, France.
Patrice Basille, general manager of the
Brookstreet Hotel, said no event associated with the Bilderberg
group has been formally booked at the hotel. He said two
conferences, one out of Montreal and another out of Toronto, are
booked for the weekend of June 8.
''What is the Bilderberg?'' he asked. ''This
is the first I've heard about it.''
Journalists aren't allowed to attend the
sessions, and staff at the host hotels are told not to confirm or
deny any event is scheduled.
Not all of the attendees are comfortable
with the pervasive secrecy, says U.K.-based journalist Tony Gosling,
who runs a website devoted to uncovering the Bilderberg secrets
(
http://www.bilderberg.org
). There is enough leakage from past conferences to determine
generally what is discussed, he said.
''There is pretty much a preoccupation with
the Middle East and oil at most of the meetings,'' he said. ''The
whole idea is to meet a consensus, but it is a fairly narrow
consensus. Most of the banking power in the Western world is behind
Bilderberg policy, and particularly their energy policies.''
Gosling said two issues will likely concern
the Ottawa meeting: How to deal with Iran's alleged nuclear threat,
and the direction of Venezuela's oil industry under the leadership
of leftist President Hugo Chavez.
The website
americanfreepress.net reported Tuesday that Bilderberg was
coming to Ottawa. Gosling said several of his sources have also
confirmed the date and location.
Canada last hosted the conference in 1996,
when participants invited by newspaper publisher Conrad Black
gathered at a resort north of Toronto.

1. 8-11th June Ottawa 2006:
Bilderberg 2006 and the Killers of Freedom
Venezuela and Iran, two great global 'problems' which, backed
by most of the private money in the world, Bilderbergers will
attempt to 'solve' in Ottawa next month. The public's majority view
however, which they will scrupulously ignore, is that Venezuela and
Iran represent two great bastions of freedom which have defended the
views of their respective populations and refused to bow to the
totalitarian dominance of the biggest war machine the world has ever
seen and the fascist Project for a New American Century.
This year, the tenth I have covered Bilderberg, credit for
pinpointing the venue is shared between Jim Tucker in Washington and
Brussels activist Marek Tysis' scrutiny of Turkish language website,
www.islamdevleti.org . Hearty thanks
to everyone. Henry Kissinger and his co-conspirators edge closer
every year to their goal of stopping ANY coverage of what is plainly
the most powerful political and economic congress in the world. What
BBC online called 'The Ultimate Conspiracy Theory'.
Those who enquire about Bilderberg's power are expected to wait with
baited breath for an incomplete list of participants, delivered as
the last luminary's car leaves the hotel. I know embarrassingly
powerful people are removed because I spoke to the woman who served
Tony Blair his breakfast at Turnberry in 1998. He was not on that
year's list. I suppose Kissinger and friends get some kind of cheap
'kick' smuggling their superstars in and out.
If leaks are correct, this year's meeting will involve a 'dance
macabre' celebrating the outbreak of 'democracy' in Iraq where only
80 people a day are shot dead or blown
up and looking forward to repeating that 'success' in Iran. In
secret session just a stone's throw from the Skull and Bones' Deer
Island in the St. Lawrence river, they will bemoan the 'sectarian
divide' and forget that the al-Askariya congregation in Samarra,
wiped out in February, was one of those many mosques where Shi'ite
and Sunni worshipped together.
So which 'faction' was responsible for killing their own people? Or
was it the SAS, caught a few months earlier with explosives and
dressed as arabs, or the CIA or Mossad who really destroyed that
holy place and killed over 160 people? This is the equivalent of
having the SAS demolish Westminster Cathedral and blaming it on
Arabs. Think on.
Not since Dr Goebbels in the 1940's has the Western public been
subjected to such daily repeated lies right across the news media
about Iran, the Western plutocrats' latest 'rogue state'. In an
incredible feat of myopia, the BBC scrupulously fails to mention
that Iran is keeping to the letter of the Non-Proliferation Treaty,
which Israel with its bristling nuclear arsenal still refuses to
sign.
How easily the BBC mandarins have scrapped their motto - Nation
shall Speak Peace unto Nation - as they fire off volleys of
pseudo-intellectual cover for another round of carnage. Hundreds of
thousands, even millions more Islamic murders are in prospect. In
the vilest betrayal BBC Current Affairs managers and editors have
turn a blind eye to the fate of the Jews just sixty years ago.
Meanwhile their fellow travellers at Bilderberg prepare to rotate
their palms towards us, smile, and explain that they are nothing
more than an innocent private club. Kissinger, Rockefeller and the
rest will be crossing their fingers behind their back and hoping we
don't notice the ten wealthiest bankers, five most prestigious
European royals, four richest oil men, three biggest media barons
(now minus bang to rights Conrad Black - well done Mounties!) and a
bunch of frightened politicians are dreaming up more nightmares to
poison our children's future.
Rather than the old silence, the New Labour press here in the UK,
The Guardian now paints Bilderberg as the victim, defending their
right to neither confirm nor deny, doffing the cap, and failing to
inform their readers that this unelected body sits at the global
black heart of the capitalism they make a pretence of opposing.
As Britain's respected daily paper of the left The Guardian Jason
Walsh Blog's defence last week of Bilderberg, Skull and Bones and
Neo-Con puppet Blair are appalling betrayals.
http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/jason_walsh/2006/05/a_conspiracy_of_dunces.html
Scrupulously ignored in their and the BBC's coverage is the fact
that Bilderberg's founder, recently deceased Prince Bernhard of the
Netherlands was a enthusiastic member of Hitler's elite SS before
World War II. Neither will they mention umbilical ties to the
freemasons' 500,000 strong religious cult whose most trusted
personal assistant Andrew Palmer organised the last UK Bilderberg
conference.
So, do the Guardian and the BBC chiefs not know these facts?
- or simply not believe them? Whichever is true both BBC and
Guardian censor all my letters and comments, (this is one of the
latest
http://www.bilderberg.org/2006.htm#cohen
) even on the web. The most appallingly murderous right wing
conspiracy in the history of our planet is being airbrushed from our
consciousness.
The Guardian's editor Alan Rushbridger held back recently from fully
dishing the dirt on his close friend David Mills, proven perjurer
and partner of publicly exposed (on all five UK channels) money
launderer Secretary of State for Culture Tessa Jowell. She has been
left unharried by Metropolitan police commissioner Sir Ian Blair
while she personally supervises the 'reorganisation' of the BBC
board of governors.
The commons enquiry into criminal allegations of cash for peerages
has somehow ground to a halt even though until someone is charged
there are no restrictions on anyone discussing the subject and the
committee are covered by parliamentary privilege. How these idiotic
MP's were persuaded to drop their enquiry is beyond me. This means
that the subject of criminal offences by top New Labour politicians
has disappeared at least until late Autumn when MP's return from
their summer recess.
The worm at the core of the Metropolitan Police Sir Ian Blair is not
just a liar, he has also failed to question the prime suspect in the
most shocking crime in the British mainland since World War II, last
year's London bombings. Haroon Aswat, who US intelligence analyst
John Loftus swears had access to MI6's military explosives and is
known to have made several mobile phone calls to the four suspects
in the London bombings just before the attacks, languishes in
Belmarsh prison and is about to be extradited to Guantanamo Bay
where the US authorities want to question him.
So meanwhile, back at the Bilderberg steering committee, Kissinger,
Queen Bee and the rest of the gang are planning to use their obscene
capital wealth for totalitarian ends of war. They have no thought or
interest in feeding and house the poor of the world.
Rather than forgive strangling debt they will be doing everything in
their power to use debt and their virtual private monopoly on the
creation of money to acquire more and more of our world. African
state water companies, Britain's Channel Three ITV network,
everything our councils and our governments hold in trust for we the
people, the list goes on.
We are sleepwalking into a world unfit for future generations, for
our old age and human habitation. Ruled by crooked banks and
corporations hell-bent on owning everything on our earth. A global
plutocracy. Pinochet, Franco, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini's
dream.
So what can anyone do about it? We must all actively join the global
movement against the impunity of these power grabbing crooks. To
support the freedom fighters in Venezuela, Columbia, Iraq, Iran and
in the USA, UK and elsewhere in the West. The crooks are protected
by interlocking secret-society colleagues across the criminal
justice system, but only if we let them. Victories have been few and
ironically for Bilderberg this year Canadians have shown the way to
bringing down Conrad Black, hater of trades unions and fraudster
extraordinaire, the world has a lot to learn from the tremendous
efforts of the Canadian Authorities to fearlessly arrest, charge and
prosecute.
We must also prohibit all freemasons or other members of secret
societies from holding any public office. The publication of full
membership lists for each individual Masonic province, these follow
the city and county councils here in the UK and each of the old
British colonies is its own province. Provinces publish secret list
of all members of that province. ALL these people must be excluded
from public office as they have sworn an oath to their fellow
members that precludes them from acting in the public interest.
Dare we hope for a surprise arrest warrant served by the Mounties at
this year's Bilderberg? Maybe for Kissinger's role in overthrowing
the democratically elected government of Chile and installing one of
the 20th century's most brutal dictatorships. That would be a good
start to this year's conference.

2. Decoding Dan Brown's
DaVinci deception
Before plunging into DaVinci here's a thought for the
non-appearance of the 911 documentary 'Loose Change II' at Cannes -
whose rightful place as documentary of the year has been usurped by
the banking establishment's favourite docudrama 'United 93'. British
director Paul Greengrass admitted on Newsnight tonight that 'the
stakes are high post 9/11'. He knows which side his bread is
buttered and has followed the money. Well there's another one to
miss.
The film of Dan Brown's book premiered at Cannes last week to much
derision and amusement from the critics. The success of the story is
no mystery, that it makes a feint at uncovering what so many of us
sense to be normal nowadays, that the world is and has been run,
possibly since the Middle Ages, by some Wizard of Oz behind the
scenes.
But Dan Brown's book does what so much of our news media does
nowadays. Like the Pied Piper it leads us off in the direction of
the truth, sets out on a noble journey, then diverts us down its
black hole under the mountain. Like government whitewashes like the
Hutton enquiry it inverts the conclusion regardless of the evidence.
So, if you have seen the film or do go along to it remember the
following three points:
Firstly, the most powerful secret society is not Opus Dei or
the probably fictional Prieure De Zion but the Illuminati. Sucking
the kindly life-blood of the protestant church the Freemasons and
their embedded Illuminati leadership are far more rich, powerful and
closer to the devil than Opus Dei and the Catholics. If you haven't
seen the proof of the existence of the 21st Century Illuminati
please read my evidence in the next section of this bulletin. It is
Masonic symbolism we see today and throughout history as any
half-decent professor of semiotics such as Bologna University's
Umberto Eco will spell out.
There is hope for anyone caught in the mason's psychological trap
and subsequent mental prison but only one hope. To walk away forever
and into the faith in and protection of Jesus Christ and the
steadfast love of truth and righteousness. Freemasonic foot
soldiers' relationship to their Illuminist masters parallels
precisely the relationship between white and black magicians.
Secondly, the secret societies, over the last 700 years or so,
almost certainly have been guarding a secret bloodline. This was
famously revealed in the 1980's in The Holy Blood and the Holy
Grail. But the 'secret' is a profound lie which goes to the heart of
the three monotheistic faiths. A satanic fundamentalist blasphemy.
The bloodline is not that of Christ but of a zealous Anti-Christ
dynasty, with an insatiable appetite for money, sin and power,
steeped in multi-generational evil.
Thirdly and finally The DaVinci Code has not been made by filmmakers
who love their craft but bribed into existence from an open cheque
book. As if to prove how little they really care leading lady,
Audrey Tautou, even had her name spelled wrong in the film's
credits! Morale and team spirit in the Western film and television
production industry is in freefall. These days bankers and
accountants make 'perfect' material for scriptwriters and production
jobs because of their love of money and the power elite's world of
numbers. Creative talent need not apply. That is why almost all
films since the 1970's have been peculiarly unsatisfying.
One of the few exceptions in this propaganda industry, commandeered
by the banks, was the first new Dr. Who series by the BBC, The Lord
of the Rings trilogy and one or two under-funded UK feature films.
Almost all the rest is brainwashing.
The film-industry's obsession with power through violence and fear
are the propaganda techniques of Josef Goebbels. They are also those
of Goebbels' mentor, Edward Bernays, little-known cousin of Sigmund
Freud, who gave birth to an entire industry of professional liars,
Public Relations.
Following the success of Sean Connery's brilliant performance in The
Name of the Rose, lovers of truth eagerly await a film version of
Foucault's Pendulum. That profound and entertaining book is Umberto
Eco's studied interpretation of The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail
and it shows Dan Brown up to be nothing more than a pawn of Big
Brother.
So with the knowledge that the film industry no longer cares about
the stories it produces, the understanding that the Illuminati and
Freemasonry are the most powerful political and spiritual wing of
the secret societies and that the historic secret they guard is a
dismal lie, enjoy the film!

3. Bilderberg to Meet in
Canada
http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/bilderberg_to_meet_in_canada.html
By James P. Tucker Jr.
The secretive group known as Bilderberg will hold its annual secret
meeting at the posh Brook Street Resort a few miles from Ottawa,
Canada, June 8-11.
The location and part of the agenda was disclosed to American Free
Press by a source inside Bilderberg's inner circle.
High on the Bilderberg's secret agenda this year are oil prices and
the political upheaval in Latin America. When meeting last year in
Rottach-Egern, Germany, Bilderberg called for dramatic increases in
the price of oil. Oil prices started climbing immediately from $40 a
barrel to $70.
Whether Bilderberg will call for still higher prices is unclear, but
Henry Kissinger and others had gleefully anticipated ultimate prices
at $150 a barrel a year ago. Bilderberg is certainly concerned about
supply, which is related to the "Latin American problem," as one
insider said.
Approximately 120 international leaders in politics and finance will
also discuss the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which has caused a
rare breach between American Bilderbergers and their European
counterparts since the United States Iraq invasion in 2003. Whether
the United States should invade Iran is also high on the agenda.
Bilderberg is especially concerned about Venezuela, where as part of
a plan to increase revenues from its petroleum industry President
Hugo Chavez said May 7 he would impose a new tax on companies that
extract oil from his country. Big Oil is represented at Bilderberg
by Jeroen van der Veer of The Netherlands, chairman of the Royal
Dutch/Shell Group and Franco Bernabe of Italy, vice chairman of
Rothschild Europe, among others. "We are going to create a new oil
tax, called the tax on extraction,"
Chavez said. "The companies that are pumping oil in Venezuela are
making a lot of money."
Chavez accused foreign oil companies of exploiting his country's
vast petroleum reserves without paying sufficient taxes. Venezuela
is the world's fifth-largest oil exporter but has troubled oil
barons by sending cheap petroleum to needy American families and
subsidizing domestic use so local citizens pay 12 cents a gallon.
Venezuela has voided oil-pumping contracts with private companies at
32 fields and replaced them with a mixed-company model that gave
Venezuela's state-owned Petroleos de Venezuela SA a minimum 60
percent stake. Chavez has also sharply raised royalties and taxes,
and reduced potential drilling acreage by almost two-thirds. He is
also resisting expansion of NAFTA throughout the hemisphere, a prime
Bilderberg goal.
Chavez's outspoken criticisms of the United States make it unlikely
that American Bilderbergers can help smooth over the supply problem.
However, banker David Rockefeller's family has always had a heavy
interest in oil and other investments in South America.
President Bush will have a top White House aide representing him at
Bilderberg, and high officials of the state, defense and treasury
departments will attend. Heads of state and other high officials in
government and banking will attend from Europe and Canada.
Bilderberg's agenda also includes the turmoil in the Middle East,
nuclear proliferation, with an emphasis on Iran, North Korea and
Pakistan, and global warming.
The Bilderberg group takes it name from the hotel in Holland where
the group met in 1954, during the earliest period of its inception.
Bilderbergers meet regularly, presumably on a once-a-year basis, at
various locations around the world, always in extreme secrecy, often
at resorts controlled by either the Rockefeller or Rothschild
families. The Rothschild family is the leading European force within
the Bilderberg Group, sharing its power with the American-based
Rockefeller empire.
Bilderberg maintains an extremely low profile and seldom, if ever,
publishes reports or studies for the public, at least, under its own
official aegis. Participants denied the groups very existence for
decades until it was forced into the open by the glare of media
publicity, generated largely by the now defunct Spotlight newspaper.
4. Illuminati, fact or
fiction?
DID THEY EVER EXIST?
The historical proof of the Illuminati's formation in 18th Century
Bavaria, Germany was clearly recorded in the Bavarian state records
and by conscientious freemasons. Secret papers explaining their aims
of subverting religions and national governments were exposed as a
scandal at the time. The most measured and entertaining historical
exposé of the Illuminati's conception and subsequent takeover of
freemasonry in English is probably John Robison's 1791 book Proofs
of a Conspiracy against all governments and religions.
DO THEY STILL EXIST TODAY?
At least one - please search the net for more - US author Texe Marrs
has in his possession a certificate of membership of a modern secret
society calling itself the Illuminati.
HOW ARE THEY FINANCED?
Illegal drug trafficking, mostly in opium and cocaine, production of
heroin and crack-cocaine. Also, intelligence black budgets which
have been removed from democratic scrutiny. They have access,
through intelligence agencies, military dictatorships such as
Pakistan, to military bases, military secrets and military
equipment.
ARE THE SKULL AND BONES SOCIETY AT YALE UNIVERSITY THE ILLUMINATI?
1. In both the historical Illuminati and the Skull and Bones
initiates use classical pseudonyms, often from pagan classical myth
eg. Spartacus or Boaz
2. Both have important US and German lodges
3. Both say "The Devil = Death, Death = Death" as part of their
ritual
4. Both are secret cults with multiple degrees of initiation and
blood-curdling oaths of secrecy
5. Both have satanic overtones with the ritualised use of an
inverted (point downwards) pentagram.
5. THE DEATH OF FREEDOM
On the evil day that Britain's new far right Home Secretary
John Reid ordered the destruction of Brian Haw's peaceful protest
camp in Parliament Square I re-circulate John Pilger's urgent
warning from January 2006 about fascism and the strangulation of
freedom. As pretty much everyone in broadcasting knows there is
there is a whispering campaign at the BBC against Pilger. Now we can
all understand that was because - he's right on the ball.
By John Pilger - January 6th edition of "The New Statesman"
http://www.newstatesman.com/200601090004
http://www.parliament-square.org.uk
http://www.johnpilger.com
The rights of ordinary people to speak out against an unjust war and
atrocities unleashed in their name are being crushed. Fascism is at
the door. Who else, asks John Pilger, will fight it?
On Christmas Eve, I dropped in on Brian Haw, whose hunched, pacing
figure was just visible through the freezing fog. For four and a
half years, Brian has camped in Parliament Square with a graphic
display of photographs that show the terror and suffering imposed on
Iraqi children by British policies. The effectiveness of his action
was demonstrated last April when the Blair government banned
any expression of opposition within a kilometre of
parliament. The high court subsequently ruled that, because his
presence preceded the ban, Brian was an exception.
Day after day, night after night, season upon season, he remains a
beacon, illuminating the great crime of Iraq and the cowardice of
the House of Commons. As we talked, two women brought him a
Christmas meal and mulled wine. They thanked him, shook his hand and
hurried on. He had never seen them before. "That's typical of the
public," he said. A man in a pinstriped suit and tie emerged from
the fog, carrying a small wreath. "I intend to place this at the
Cenotaph and read out the names of the dead in Iraq," he said to
Brian, who cautioned him: "You'll spend the night in the cells,
mate." We watched him stride off and lay his wreath. His head bowed,
he appeared to be whispering. Thirty years ago, I watched dissidents
do something similar outside the walls of the Kremlin.
As the night had covered him, he was lucky. On 7 December, Maya
Evans, a vegan chef aged 25, was convicted of breaching the new
Serious Organised Crime and Police Act by reading aloud at the
Cenotaph the names of 97 British soldiers killed in Iraq. So serious
was her crime that it required 14 policemen in two vans to arrest
her. She was fined and given a criminal record for the rest of her
life.
Freedom is dying. Eighty-year-old John Catt served with the RAF in
the Second World War. Last September, he was stopped by police in
Brighton for wearing an "offensive" T-shirt which suggested that
Bush and Blair be tried for war crimes. He was arrested under the
Terrorism Act and handcuffed, with his arms held behind his back.
The official record of the arrest says the "purpose" of searching
him was "terrorism" and the "grounds for intervention" were
"carrying plackard and T-shirt with anti-Blair info" (sic). He is
awaiting trial.
Such cases compare with others that remain secret and beyond any
form of justice: those of the foreign nationals held at Belmarsh
Prison who have never been charged, let alone put on trial. They are
held "on suspicion". Some of the "evidence" against them, whatever
it is, the government has now admitted, could have been extracted
under torture at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib. They are political
prisoners in all but name. They face the prospect of being spirited
out of the country and into the arms of a regime which may torture
them to death. Their isolated families, including children, are
quietly going mad. And for what?
Between 11 September 2001 and 30 September 2005, 895 people in total
were arrested under the Terrorism Act. Only 23 have been convicted
of offences covered by the act. As for real terrorists, the
identities of two of the 7 July bombers, including the suspected
mastermind, were known to MI5, yet nothing was done. And Blair wants
to give the security services more power. Having helped to devastate
Iraq, he is now killing freedom in his own country.
Consider parallel events in the United States. Last October, an
American doctor, loved by his patients, was punished with 22 years
in prison for founding a charity; Help the Needy, which helped
children in Iraq stricken by an economic and humanitarian blockade
imposed by America and Britain. In raising money for infants dying
from diarrhoea, Dr Rafil Dhafir broke a siege which, according to
UNICEF, had caused the deaths of half a million under the age of
five. John Ashcroft, the then US attorney general, called Dr Dhafir,
a Muslim, a "terrorist", a description mocked by even the judge in a
politically motivated travesty of a trial.
The Dhafir case is not extraordinary. In the same month, three US
circuit court judges ruled in favour of the Bush regime's "right" to
imprison an American citizen "indefinitely" without charging him
with a crime.
This was the case of Jose Padilla, a petty criminal who allegedly
visited Pakistan before he was arrested at Chicago airport three and
a half years ago. He was never charged and no evidence has ever been
presented against him. Now mired in legal complexity, the case puts
George W Bush above the law and outlaws the Bill of Rights. Indeed,
on 14 November, the US Senate in effect voted to ban habeas corpus
by passing an amendment that overturned a Supreme Court ruling
allowing Guantanamo prisoners access to a federal court. Thus, the
touchstone of America's most celebrated freedom was scrapped.
Without habeas corpus, a government can simply lock away its
opponents and implement a dictatorship.
A related, insidious tyranny is being imposed across the world. For
all his troubles in Iraq, Bush has carried out the recommendations
of a Messianic conspiracy theory called the "Project for the New
American Century". Written by his ideological sponsors shortly
before he came to power, it foresaw his administration as a military
dictatorship behind a democratic facade: "the cavalry on the new
American frontier", guided by a blend of paranoia and megalomania.
More than 700 American bases are now placed strategically in
compliant countries, notably at gateways to sources of fossil fuels
and encircling the Middle East and central Asia. "Pre-emptive"
aggression is policy, including the use of nuclear weapons. The
chemical warfare industry has been reinvigorated. Missile treaties
have been torn up. Space has been militarised. Global warming has
been embraced. The powers of the president have never been greater.
The judicial system has been subverted, along with civil liberties.
!
The former senior CIA analyst Ray McGovern, who once prepared the
daily White House briefing, told me that the authors of the PNAC and
those now occupying positions of executive power used to be known in
Washington as "the crazies". He said: "We should now be very worried
about fascism."
In his epic acceptance of the Nobel Prize in Literature on 7
December, Harold Pinter spoke of "a vast tapestry of lies, upon
which we feed". He asked why "the systematic brutality, the
widespread atrocities, the ruthless suppression of inde- pendent
thought" of Stalinist Russia were well known in the west while US
state crimes were merely "superficially recorded, let alone
documented, let alone acknowledged".
A silence has reigned. Across the world, the extinction and
suffering of countless human beings can be attributed to rampant
American power, "But you wouldn't know it," said Pinter. "It never
happened. Nothing ever happened. Even while it was happening it
wasn't happening. It didn't matter. It was of no interest."
To its credit, the Guardian published every word of Pinter's
warning. To its shame, though unsurprising, the state television
broadcaster ignored it. All that Newsnight flatulence about the
arts, all that recycled preening for the cameras at Booker
Prize-giving events, yet the BBC could not make room for Britain's
greatest living dramatist, so honoured, to tell the truth.
For the BBC, it simply never happened, just as the killing of half a
million children by America's medieval siege of Iraq during the
1990s never happened, just as the Dhafir and Padilla trials and the
Senate vote banning freedom never happened. The political prisoners
of Belmarsh barely exist; and a big, brave posse of Metropolitan
police never swept away Maya Evans as she publicly grieved for
British soldiers killed in the cause of nothing except rotten power.
Bereft of irony, but with a snigger, the newsreader Fiona Bruce
introduced, as news, a Christmas propaganda film about Bush's dogs.
That happened. Now imagine Bruce reading the following: "Here is
delayed news, just in. From 1945 to 2005, the United States
attempted to overthrow 50 governments, many of them democracies, and
to crush 30 popular movements fighting tyrannical regimes. In the
process, 25 countries were bombed, causing the loss of several
million lives and the despair of millions more." (Thanks to William
Blum's Rogue State, published by Common Courage Press.)
The icon of horror of Saddam Hussein's rule is a 1988 film of
petrified bodies of people in the Kurdish town of Halabja, killed in
a chemical weapons attack. The attack has been referred to a great
deal by Bush and Blair and the film shown a great deal by the BBC.
At the time, as I know from personal experience, the Foreign Office
tried to cover up the crime at Halabja. The Americans tried to blame
it on Iran. Today, in an age of images, there are no images of the
chemical weapons attack on Fallujah in November 2004. This allowed
the Americans to deny it until they were caught out recently by
investigators using the internet. For the BBC, American atrocities
simply do not happen.
In 1999, while filming in Washington and Iraq, I learned the true
scale of bombing in what the Americans and British then called
Iraq's "no-fly zones". During the 18 months to 14 January 1999, US
aircraft flew 24,000 combat missions over Iraq; almost every mission
was bombing or strafing. "We're down to the last outhouse," a US
official protested. "There are still some things left [to bomb], but
not many." That was seven years ago. In recent months, the air
assault on Iraq has multiplied; the effect on the ground cannot be
imagined. For the BBC, it has not happened.
The black farce extends to those pseudo-humanitarians in the media
and elsewhere, who themselves have never seen the effects of cluster
bombs and air-burst shells, yet continue to invoke the crimes of
Saddam to justify the nightmare in Iraq and to protect a quisling
prime minister who has sold out his country and made the world more
dangerous. Curiously, some of them insist on describing themselves
as "liberals" and "left of centre", even "anti-fascists". They want
some respectability, I suppose. This is understandable, given that
the league table of carnage by Saddam Hussein was overtaken long ago
by that of their hero in Downing Street, who will now support an
attack on Iran.
This cannot change until we, in the west, look in the mirror and
confront the true aims and narcissism of the power applied in our
name, its extremes and terrorism. The usual double standard no
longer works; there are now millions like Brian Haw, Maya Evans,
John Catt and the man in the pinstriped suit, with his wreath.
Looking in the mirror means understanding that a violent and
undemocratic order is being imposed by those whose actions are
little different from the actions of fascists. The difference used
to be distance. Now they are bringing it home.
AFTERWORD
Lingering questions about
Robin Cook's death
http://shaphan.typepad.com/blog/2006/05/questions_about.html
I would rather not be having these thoughts but, as I am, I
reckon it's time to commit them to writing. This extended entry
builds upon 'Robin Cook, the Database and Secrets', which itself
derived from 'Warning to Labour Politicians' (and the thread began
with 'John Prescott and National Security'). It raises questions
about Robin Cook's death, ones I've not seen addressed elsewhere. In
life, I was never Cooky's biggest fan. But if there were the
slightest possibility that his death was not naturally caused, then
the man deserves better than for the official version to be believed
without question.
Robin Cook's epitaph - final
article explained how pointless War on Terror is and that Al Qaeda
is a creation of the CIA
http://www.bilderberg.org/nwo.htm#epitaph
Bin Laden was, though, a product of a monumental miscalculation by
western security agencies. Throughout the 80s he was armed by the
CIA and funded by the Saudis to wage jihad against the Russian
occupation of Afghanistan. Al-Qaida, literally "the database", was
originally the computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were
recruited and trained with help from the CIA to defeat the Russians.
Inexplicably, and with disastrous consequences, it never appears to
have occurred to Washington that once Russia was out of the way, Bin
Laden's organisation would turn its attention to the west.
Marek Tysis' Bilderberg 2006
analysis
http://www.bilderberg.org/2006.htm#marek
Globalization is not from the 20th or 21st century. It is as
old as the 15th or 16th century. The medieval Knights Templar were
the first ever multinational corporation. Every move in
Globalization has been about reshaping the World, or giving a global
plan of control or a 'New World Order'. Behind the scenes,
imperialism has been sharing the natural bounty of the world to the
profit of its upper class, the Plutocracy. The rich who so much want
to have one absolute rule of this world.
Bilderberg Conferences
The
Bilderberg conference is the most powerful
political and economic gathering on earth. Incredibly the world's press
are never informed that the meeting is happening until it is over. If
they do find out it is happening they are not allowed near the
conference while it is taking place. There are a handful of journalists
inside, one is the editor of The Economist, but they never
mention the meeting in their publications.

Jim Tucker has heard what he believes to be good
evidence that this year's conference will be in Alberta, Canada in the
first two weeks of June 2006. The last conference to be held in North
America was the 2002 conference at Chantilly, Virginia so it's about
time the conference was back on the West side of the Atlantic again.
Leaks from the Westfields Marriott in 2002
suggested that Bilderbergers were pushing hard behind the scenes for the
invasion of Iraq - roughly a year before the disasterous, illegal and
bloody occupation began.

Dear Tony,
I am a Bulgarian journalist who is interested in
world affairs. I sometimes use your website for reference although I
don't necessarily support some of your views.
I would like to share with you a piece of news
that may reveal the venue of the B'06 meeting.
The Austrian Ambassador to Bulgaria Dr. Karl
Diem boasted recently that his country will host a visit by US President
George Bush in June. As this is the final month of Austria's EU
Presidency, it may be an excuse for the other Bilderbergers to come
along.
I hope my contribution will be helpful to your

power brokers meeting coming to Ottawa?

Wednesday, May 24, 2006
OTTAWA - The meetings of a secretive global
think-tank would bring 100 of the world's most powerful and influential
figures to Ottawa next month and make an Ottawa hotel the host of
deliberations on such weighty issues as the direction of global oil
markets and potential military action against Iran.
Reports circulating on the Internet say this
year's Bilderberg Conference will be held June 8-11 at the Brookstreet
Hotel a rumour the hotel would not confirm.
But, if a gathering in Ottawa is anything like
past Bilderbergs, invitees will be drawn from the pages of International
Who's Who, with a emphasis on political and corporate leadership and
strong representation of the oil and banking industries. Guest lists
typically include names like Kissinger, Rockefeller and Soros.
The obsessive secrecy that accompanies
Bilderberg conferences could also draw Ottawa into the insane conspiracy
theories that surround the group. The Bilderberg has been accused of
being everything from a Zionist cabal building a single global
government to a secret star-chamber that seeks to fix the price of oil
and presidential elections.
Even some rational critics suspect the
Bilderberg's meetings set the economic and political agenda for much of
the industrialized world without any public oversight or accountability.
They denounce the Bilderberg as elitist and overly secretive, calling it
an anti-democratic gathering of ''the high priests of globalization.''
The conference takes its name from the Hotel de
Bilderberg in the Netherlands, site of the first meeting in 1954. The
group's intent was to link governments and economies in Europe and North
America amid the Cold War. But its mandate has evolved, and it now
exerts a global influence with interests in foreign policy in general
and energy in particular.
Several Canadian political figures have spoken
at Bilderbergs, including prime ministers Pierre Trudeau and Jean
Chretien, New Brunswick premiers Bernard Lord and Frank McKenna, and
former Ontario premier Mike Harris.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper's office would not
say Tuesday if he's been invited to attend the rumoured Ottawa meetings.
Harper attended the 2003 conference in Versailles, France.
Patrice Basille, general manager of the
Brookstreet Hotel, said no event associated with the Bilderberg group
has been formally booked at the hotel. He said two conferences, one out
of Montreal and another out of Toronto, are booked for the weekend of
June 8.
''What is the Bilderberg?'' he asked. ''This is
the first I've heard about it.''
Journalists aren't allowed to attend the
sessions, and staff at the host hotels are told not to confirm or deny
any event is scheduled.
Not all of the attendees are comfortable with
the pervasive secrecy, says U.K.-based journalist Tony Gosling, who runs
a website devoted to uncovering the Bilderberg secrets (www.bilderberg.org).
There is enough leakage from past conferences to determine generally
what is discussed, he said.
''There is pretty much a preoccupation with the
Middle East and oil at most of the meetings,'' he said. ''The whole idea
is to meet a consensus, but it is a fairly narrow consensus. Most of the
banking power in the Western world is behind Bilderberg policy, and
particularly their energy policies.''
Gosling said two issues will likely concern the
Ottawa meeting: How to deal with Iran's alleged nuclear threat, and the
direction of Venezuela's oil industry under the leadership of leftist
President Hugo Chavez.
The website americanfreepress.net reported
Tuesday that Bilderberg was coming to Ottawa. Gosling said several of
his sources have also confirmed the date and location.
Canada last hosted the conference in 1996, when
participants invited by newspaper publisher Conrad Black gathered at a
resort north of Toronto.

Bilderberg to Meet in Canada
http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/bilderberg_to_meet_in_canada.html
By James P. Tucker Jr.
The secretive group known as Bilderberg will
hold its annual secret meeting at the posh Brook Street Resort a few
miles from Ottawa, Canada, June 8-11.
The location and part of the agenda was
disclosed to American Free Press by a source inside Bilderberg's inner
circle.
High on the Bilderberg's secret agenda this year
are oil prices and the political upheaval in Latin America. When meeting
last year in Rottach-Egern, Germany, Bilderberg called for dramatic
increases in the price of oil. Oil prices started climbing immediately
from $40 a barrel to $70.
Whether Bilderberg will call for still higher
prices is unclear, but Henry Kissinger and others had gleefully
anticipated ultimate prices at $150 a barrel a year ago. Bilderberg is
certainly concerned about supply, which is related to the "Latin
American problem," as one insider said.
Approximately 120 international leaders in
politics and finance will also discuss the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,
which has caused a rare breach between American Bilderbergers and their
European counterparts since the United States Iraq invasion in 2003.
Whether the United States should invade Iran is also high on the agenda.
Bilderberg is especially concerned about
Venezuela, where as part of a plan to increase revenues from its
petroleum industry President Hugo Chavez said May 7 he would impose a
new tax on companies that extract oil from his country. Big Oil is
represented at Bilderberg by Jeroen van der Veer of The Netherlands,
chairman of the Royal Dutch/Shell Group and Franco Bernabe of Italy,
vice chairman of Rothschild Europe, among others. "We are going to
create a new oil tax, called the tax on extraction,"
Chavez said. "The companies that are pumping oil
in Venezuela are making a lot of money."
Chavez accused foreign oil companies of
exploiting his country's vast petroleum reserves without paying
sufficient taxes. Venezuela is the world's fifth-largest oil exporter
but has troubled oil barons by sending cheap petroleum to needy American
families and subsidizing domestic use so local citizens pay 12 cents a
gallon.
Venezuela has voided oil-pumping contracts with
private companies at 32 fields and replaced them with a mixed-company
model that gave Venezuela's state-owned Petroleos de Venezuela SA a
minimum 60 percent stake. Chavez has also sharply raised royalties and
taxes, and reduced potential drilling acreage by almost two-thirds. He
is also resisting expansion of NAFTA throughout the hemisphere, a prime
Bilderberg goal.
Chavez's outspoken criticisms of the United
States make it unlikely that American Bilderbergers can help smooth over
the supply problem. However, banker David Rockefeller's family has
always had a heavy interest in oil and other investments in South
America.
President Bush will have a top White House aide
representing him at Bilderberg, and high officials of the state, defense
and treasury departments will attend. Heads of state and other high
officials in government and banking will attend from Europe and Canada.
Bilderberg's agenda also includes the turmoil in
the Middle East, nuclear proliferation, with an emphasis on Iran, North
Korea and Pakistan, and global warming.
The Bilderberg group takes it name from the
hotel in Holland where the group met in 1954, during the earliest period
of its inception. Bilderbergers meet regularly, presumably on a
once-a-year basis, at various locations around the world, always in
extreme secrecy, often at resorts controlled by either the Rockefeller
or Rothschild families. The Rothschild family is the leading European
force within the Bilderberg Group, sharing its power with the
American-based Rockefeller empire.
Bilderberg maintains an extremely low profile
and seldom, if ever, publishes reports or studies for the public, at
least, under its own official aegis. Participants denied the groups very
existence for decades until it was forced into the open by the glare of
media publicity, generated largely by the now defunct Spotlight
newspaper.
8-11th June
Ottawa 2006: Bilderberg 2006 and the Killers of Freedom
from
PEPIS #75
Venezuela and Iran, two great global 'problems'
which, backed by most of the private money in the world, Bilderbergers
will attempt to 'solve' in Ottawa next month. The public's majority view
however, which they will scrupulously ignore, is that Venezuela and Iran
represent two great bastions of freedom which have defended the views of
their respective populations and refused to bow to the totalitarian
dominance of the biggest war machine the world has ever seen and the
fascist Project for a New American Century.
This year, the tenth I have covered Bilderberg,
credit for pinpointing the venue is shared between Jim Tucker in
Washington and Brussels activist Marek Tysis' scrutiny of Turkish
language website, islamdevleti.org. Hearty thanks to everyone. Henry
Kissinger and his co-conspirators edge closer every year to their goal
of stopping ANY coverage of what is plainly the most powerful political
and economic congress in the world. What BBC online called 'The Ultimate
Conspiracy Theory'.
Those who enquire about Bilderberg's power are
expected to wait with baited breath for an incomplete list of
participants, delivered as the last luminary's car leaves the hotel. I
know embarrassingly powerful people are removed because I spoke to the
woman who served Tony Blair his breakfast at Turnberry in 1998. He was
not on that year's list. I suppose Kissinger and friends get some kind
of cheap 'kick' smuggling their superstars in and out.
If leaks are correct, this year's meeting will
involve a 'dance macabre' celebrating the outbreak of 'democracy' in
Iraq where only 80 people a day are shot dead or blown up and looking
forward to repeating that 'success' in Iran. In secret session just a
stone's throw from the Skull and Bones' Deer Island in the St. Lawrence
river, they will bemoan the 'sectarian divide' and forget that the al-Askariya
congregation in Samarra, wiped out in February, was one of those many
mosques where Shi'ite and Sunni worshipped together.
So which 'faction' was responsible for killing
their own people? Or was it the SAS, caught a few months earlier with
explosives and dressed as arabs, or the CIA or Mossad who really
destroyed that holy place and killed over 160 people? This is the
equivalent of having the SAS demolish Westminster Cathedral and blaming
it on Arabs. Think on.
Not since Dr Goebbels in the 1940's has the
Western public been subjected to such daily repeated lies right across
the news media about Iran, the Western plutocrats' latest 'rogue state'.
In an incredible feat of myopia, the BBC scrupulously fails to mention
that Iran is keeping to the letter of the Non-Proliferation Treaty,
which Israel with its bristling nuclear arsenal still refuses to sign.
How easily the BBC mandarins
have scrapped their motto - Nation shall Speak Peace unto Nation - as
they fire off volleys of pseudo-intellectual
cover for another round of carnage. Hundreds of thousands, even millions
more Islamic murders are in prospect. In the vilest betrayal BBC Current
Affairs managers and editors have turn a blind eye to the fate of the
Jews just sixty years ago.
Meanwhile their fellow travellers at Bilderberg
prepare to rotate their palms towards us, smile, and explain that they
are nothing more than an innocent private club. Kissinger, Rockefeller
and the rest will be crossing their fingers behind their back and hoping
we don't notice the ten wealthiest bankers, five most prestigious
European royals, four richest oil men, three biggest media barons (now
minus bang to rights Conrad Black - well done Mounties!) and a bunch of
frightened politicians are dreaming up more nightmares to poison our
children's future.
Rather than the old silence, the New Labour
press here in the UK, The Guardian now paints Bilderberg as the victim,
defending their right to neither confirm nor deny, doffing the cap, and
failing to inform their readers that this unelected body sits at the
global black heart of the capitalism they make a pretence of opposing.
As Britain's respected daily paper of the left
The Guardian Jason Walsh Blog's defence last week of Bilderberg, Skull
and Bones and Neo-Con puppet Blair are appalling betrayals.
http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/jason_walsh/2006/05/a_conspiracy_of_dunces.html
Scrupulously ignored in their and the BBC's
coverage is the fact that Bilderberg's founder, recently deceased Prince
Bernhard of the Netherlands was a enthusiastic member of Hitler's elite
SS before World War II. Neither will they mention umbilical ties to the
freemasons' 500,000 strong religious cult whose most trusted personal
assistant Andrew Palmer organised the last UK Bilderberg conference.
So, do the Guardian and the BBC chiefs not know
these facts? - or simply not believe them? Whichever is true both BBC
and Guardian censor all my letters and comments, (this is one of the
latest http://www.bilderberg.org/2006.htm#cohen ) even on the web. The
most appallingly murderous right wing conspiracy in the history of our
planet is being airbrushed from our consciousness.
The Guardian's editor Alan Rushbridger held back
recently from fully dishing the dirt on his close friend David Mills,
proven perjurer and partner of publicly exposed (on all five UK
channels) money launderer Secretary of State for Culture Tessa Jowell.
She has been left unharried by Metropolitan police commissioner Sir Ian
Blair while she personally supervises the 'reorganisation' of the BBC
board of governors.
The commons enquiry into criminal allegations of
cash for peerages has somehow ground to a halt even though until someone
is charged there are no restrictions on anyone discussing the subject
and the committee are covered by parliamentary privilege. How these
idiotic MP's were persuaded to drop their enquiry is beyond me. This
means that the subject of criminal offences by top New Labour
politicians has disappeared at least until late Autumn when MP's return
from their summer recess.
The worm at the core of the Metropolitan Police
Sir Ian Blair is not just a liar, he has also failed to question the
prime suspect in the most shocking crime in the British mainland since
World War II, last year's London bombings. Haroon Aswat, who US
intelligence
analyst John Loftus swears had access to MI6's
military explosives and is known to have made several mobile phone calls
to the four suspects in the London bombings just before the attacks,
languishes in Belmarsh prison and is about to be extradited to
Guantanamo Bay where the US authorities want to question him.
So meanwhile, back at the Bilderberg steering
committee, Kissinger, Queen Bee and the rest of the gang are planning to
use their obscene capital wealth for totalitarian ends of war. They have
no thought or interest in feeding and house the poor of the world.
Rather than forgive strangling debt they will be
doing everything in their power to use debt and their virtual private
monopoly on the creation of money to acquire more and more of our world.
African state water companies, Britain's Channel Three ITV network,
everything our councils and our governments hold in trust for we the
people, the list goes on.
We are sleepwalking into a world unfit for
future generations, for our old age and human habitation. Ruled by
crooked banks and corporations hell-bent on owning everything on our
earth. A global plutocracy. Pinochet, Franco, Adolf Hitler and Benito
Mussolini's dream.
So what can anyone do about it? We must all
actively join the global movement against the impunity of these power
grabbing crooks. To support the freedom fighters in Venezuela, Columbia,
Iraq, Iran and in the USA, UK and elsewhere in the West. The crooks are
protected by interlocking secret-society colleagues across the criminal
justice system, but only if we let them. Victories have been few and
ironically for Bilderberg this year Canadians have shown the way to
bringing down Conrad Black, hater of trades unions and fraudster
extraordinaire, the world has a lot to learn from the tremendous efforts
of the Canadian Authorities to fearlessly arrest, charge and prosecute.
We must also prohibit all freemasons or other
members of secret societies from holding any public office. The
publication of full membership lists for each individual Masonic
province, these follow the city and county councils here in the UK and
each of the old British colonies is its own province. Provinces publish
secret list of all members of that province. ALL these people must be
excluded from public office as they have sworn an oath to their fellow
members that precludes them from acting in the public interest.
Dare we hope for a surprise arrest warrant
served by the Mounties at this year's Bilderberg? Maybe for Kissinger's
role in overthrowing the democratically elected government of Chile and
installing one of the 20th century's most brutal dictatorships. That
would be a good start to this year's conference.

21May06 - American Free Press - Bilderberg to Meet
in Canada
http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/bilderberg_to_meet_in_canada.html
22May06 - By James P. Tucker Jr.
The secretive group known as Bilderberg will
hold its annual secret meeting at the posh Brook Street Resort a few
miles from Ottawa, Canada, June 8-11.
The location and part of the agenda was
disclosed to American Free Press by a source inside Bilderberg's inner
circle.
High on the Bilderberg's secret agenda this year
are oil prices and the political upheaval in Latin America. When meeting
last year in Rottach-Egern, Germany, Bilderberg called for dramatic
increases in the price of oil. Oil prices started climbing immediately
from $40 a barrel to $70.
Whether Bilderberg will call for still higher
prices is unclear, but Henry Kissinger and others had gleefully
anticipated ultimate prices at $150 a barrel a year ago. Bilderberg is
certainly concerned about supply, which is related to the "Latin
American problem," as one insider said.
Approximately 120 international leaders in
politics and finance will also discuss the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,
which has caused a rare breach between American Bilderbergers and their
European counterparts since the United States Iraq invasion in 2003.
Whether the United States should invade Iran is also high on the agenda.
Bilderberg is especially concerned about
Venezuela, where as part of a plan to increase revenues from its
petroleum industry President Hugo Chavez said May 7 he would impose a
new tax on companies that extract oil from his country. Big Oil is
represented at Bilderberg by Jeroen van der Veer of The Netherlands,
chairman of the Royal Dutch/Shell Group and Franco Bernabe of Italy,
vice chairman of Rothschild Europe, among others. "We are going to
create a new oil tax, called the tax on extraction,"
Chavez said. "The companies that are pumping oil
in Venezuela are making a lot of money."
Chavez accused foreign oil companies of
exploiting his country's vast petroleum reserves without paying
sufficient taxes. Venezuela is the world's fifth-largest oil exporter
but has troubled oil barons by sending cheap petroleum to needy American
families and subsidizing domestic use so local citizens pay 12 cents a
gallon.
Venezuela has voided oil-pumping contracts with
private companies at 32 fields and replaced them with a mixed-company
model that gave Venezuela's state-owned Petroleos de Venezuela SA a
minimum 60 percent stake. Chavez has also sharply raised royalties and
taxes, and reduced potential drilling acreage by almost two-thirds. He
is also resisting expansion of NAFTA throughout the hemisphere, a prime
Bilderberg goal.
Chavez's outspoken criticisms of the United
States make it unlikely that American Bilderbergers can help smooth over
the supply problem. However, banker David Rockefeller's family has
always had a heavy interest in oil and other investments in South
America.
President Bush will have a top White House aide
representing him at Bilderberg, and high officials of the state, defense
and treasury departments will attend. Heads of state and other high
officials in government and banking will attend from Europe and Canada.
Bilderberg's agenda also includes the turmoil in
the Middle East, nuclear proliferation, with an emphasis on Iran, North
Korea and Pakistan, and global warming.
The Bilderberg group takes it name from the
hotel in Holland where the group met in 1954, during the earliest period
of its inception. Bilderbergers meet regularly, presumably on a
once-a-year basis, at various locations around the world, always in
extreme secrecy, often at resorts controlled by either the Rockefeller
or Rothschild families. The Rothschild family is the leading European
force within the Bilderberg Group, sharing its power with the
American-based Rockefeller empire.
Bilderberg maintains an extremely low profile
and seldom, if ever, publishes reports or studies for the public, at
least, under its own official aegis. Participants denied the groups very
existence for decades until it was forced into the open by the glare of
media publicity, generated largely by the now defunct Spotlight
newspaper.
Where is the eliteworld? The 71st letter
Amsterdam, May 10 2006
J Steenis
Dear reader, this is the 71st Letter of an
Autonomous Thinker
Everybody should know that a small group of
super-rich people that live on the safe and privileged eliteworld (far
from our often harsh massworld) takes decisions without and over us.
In 1968 Ferdinand Lundberg for example wrote the
book "The rich and the super-rich" (Bantam Books 1968) in which he
pinpointed many of the super-rich and also described what they did with
the money they had amassed.
But, though it can be interesting to know who
the top people of the world are, this knowledge will not transform the
world. Therefore human activity is needed. I propose that masspeople
invade the eliteworld. Then the elite will be confronted with the "other
people". Decisions should not be taken in favour of a small group of
already privileged people but to advance all humanity. See for example
my concept of the action
method Creative Disturbance,
http://members.chello.nl/jsteenis/violencedemocracy19.htm .
The central question is not how many super-rich
there are but where they are. Where is the eliteworld and what can
masspeople do to unite the massworld with the eliteworld to get the New
World on which everyone has equal status.
The eliteworld is an isolated part of our earth
where masspeople are not welcome. In the massworld die for example each
year five million children because they do not have enough food to
survive. Problems as inadequate food, housing or schooling that can
easily be solved only exist in the massworld. They are non-existent in
the eliteworld.
But where is the eliteworld?
Let's assume that most masspeople earn less than
4000 euro a month and that elitepeople have mostly a much higher income.
(The amount of 4000 euro is arbitrarily and some masspeople will earn
more while some elitepeople temporarily can earn less than this amount).
When you earn less than 4000 euro per month you
cannot afford to stay in 5-star hotels, to travel first class on a plane
(or possess your own jet), to have security guards to protect you and
your possessions, to buy a car of 200.000 euro or a house of 2.000.000
euro. You cannot become member of a golf club that ask a 100.000 euro a
year, to shop in Bangkok when you are living in Europe or to sit on the
best places on the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix. You cannot afford to pay
500 euro for a diner, 20 euro for a glass of beer or wear clothes that
cost 10.000 euro a piece. You are not allowed to enter the elite world
because you have not enough money.
I could lengthen this litany about things
elitepeople can and masspeople cannot afford. Many things are
exclusively reserved for people with money. Our world looks unified but
in some places you see only elitepeople.
Elite- and massworld are separated from each
other. Some masspeople are allowed to enter the eliteworld as servants,
as a lesser kind of humans that makes the life of elitepeople more
comfortable. These masspeople are not considered to be real people.
Elitepeople do not have a human conservation with the butler and the
rest of the personnel is even more invisible.
I only give a vague idea where the eliteworld
can be found. Maybe later I will give more details but I think that
everybody can discover where the eliteworld is. There live the people
with power, there decisions are taken. But most actions take place in
the massworld as is the case with demonstrations and other actions in
front of official buildings (when the top of the elite is never
targeted). I call on masspeople to invade those elitist places they are
not allowed to enter. Only then the road to One World for all people
will be opened.
Most political analysts concentrate on the
question who the elitepeople are that reign over the masses, who the
Illuminati are, who the members of the Bilderberg Group are. I
concentrate on the reason why they want to be on top of the world. They
only want to have the power to remain forever in the agreeable
eliteworld that is far from the often not so very nice massworld. I
propagate to invade the eliteworld in order to confront the elite with
the fact that there are more humans on our earth than elitepeople. They
should be drowned in the sea of masspeople. And because there are more
than a hundred masspersons for each eliteperson, it must be possible to
get a New World on which all people have equal status.
Yours truly, Joost van Steenis

15Apr06 - Martin Kelly Blog - A Request Under The Freedom Of
Information Act
I
have sent the following e-mail this afternoon to the UK's Department of
Constitutional Affairs:
http://martinkelly.blogspot.com/2006/04/request-under-freedom-of-information.html
Dear Sirs,
I wish to make a request for information under
the Freedom of Information Act 2000 relating to Edward Balls MP.
Before his election to Parliament in 2005, Mr.
Balls served as Chief Economics Adviser to HM Treasury, a Civil Service
position, between 1999 and 2004. During that period he is also reported
to have attended three meetings of the international non-governmental
forum commonly referred to as 'The Bilderberg Group'.
The first was reported to have been held between
May 24-27 2001 in Gothenburg, Sweden
-
http://www.global-elite.org/elitewiki/index.php?title=Bilderberg_2001_May_24th-27th
The second was reported to have
been held between May 30-June 2 2002 in Chantilly, Virginia, USA -
http://www.global-elite.org/elitewiki/index.php?title=Bilderberg_2002_May_30th_-_June_2nd
The third was reported to have
been held between May 15-18 2003 in Versailles, France -
http://www.global-elite.org/elitewiki/index.php?title=Bilderberg_2003_May_15th-18th
On
all these dates Mr. Balls held what was presumably a non-political role
within the Civil Service, and received his remuneration from the public
purse.
I request that the following information be
supplied to me:
1. Confirmation of whether or not he attended
these events;
2. If he did, a full record of all that was
discussed at these meetings; and
3. Again, if he did attend, why Mr. Balls in
particular was selected for these assignments.
I would also wish clarification of the following
two matters:
1. If Mr. Balls did attend, why a civil servant
was present at a forum which appears to have no basis in any law, treaty
or protocol, either national or international; and
2. Confirmation of what Her Majesty's Government
understands the nature and purposes of the Bilderberg Group to be, and
why it is deemed appropriate for a taxpayer-funded public servant to be
despatched to their meetings for several days, when presumably there
might be matters of domestic administration to which they might
otherwise be attending and for the performance of which they are
receiving salary. Copies of that body's constitution and rules of
procedure are also requested. "
I've given them my solicitors' contact address
details, and told them I'll be posting it on the blog.
They have 20 working days to get back to me. We
shall see what the outcome is.
I am not afraid to admit that I'm actually a
little afraid.

Why Milosevic Was Murdered
Monday, 13
March 2006
http://www.wnymedia.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1137&Itemid=35
http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/march2006/130306milosevicmurdered.htm
Tinpot dictator blew the
whistle on the New World Order
Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com
Slobodan Milosevic was a distasteful man with
authoritarian Communist ideals. But the reasons for his murder revolve
around his evergreen willingness to blow the whistle on the global
criminal masterminds who had made the mistake of giving 'Slobo' a
speaking platform in the first place.
Just two days after Milosevic's death the
evidence indicating murder has poured in.
- Milosevic wrote a letter one day before his
death claiming he was being poisoned to death in jail. The lawyer who
advised Milosevic during his trial, Azdenko Tomanovic (pictured below) ,
showed journalists a handwritten letter in which Milosevic wrote: "They
would like to poison me. I'm seriously concerned and worried."
- Blood tests show that Milosevic's body
contained a drug that rendered his usual medication for high blood
pressure and his heart condition ineffective, causing the heart attack
that led to his death.
- The media has spun this to make out as if
Milosevic deliberately took the wrong drug so he could seek specialist
treatment in Moscow and delay his trial. This is frankly absurd.
Milosevic only had access to the drugs provided to him by UN appointed
doctors and took them under close surveillance. Are we to believe that
Milosevic had managed to set up a secret drugs lab in his closely
watched prison prison cell and then substituted the drugs while under
constant monitoring?
- Milan Babic, a former Croatian Serb leader who
testified against Milosevic was "suicided" just six days before
Milosevic's death. According to the BBC, tribunal spokeswoman Alexandra
Milenov said he had given no indication that he was contemplating
suicide. "There was nothing unusual in his demeanor," she said. Another
Hague detainee, Slavko Dokmanovic, supposedly killed himself in 1998.
- Allegations of suicide were dismissed by
British lawyer, Steven Kay QC, who said Milosevic had told him before he
was found dead: "I have not come all this way not to see it to the end."
- The Globalists have wanted to eliminate
Milosevic for a long time. Former MI6 agent Richard Tomlinson said he
saw documents in 1992 that discussed assassinating Milosevic by means of
a staged car accident, where the driver would be blinded by a flash of
light and remote controlled brake failure enacted to cause the crash.
This exact same technique was utilized for real in the murder of
Princess Diana.
Milosevic was a loose cannon with intimate
knowledge of the criminality of the Globalists after the IMF/Bilderberg
coup de 'tat in Serbia in the 1990's.
In March 2002, Milosevic presented the Hague
tribunal with FBI documents proving that the United States government
and NATO provided financial and military support for Al-Qaeda to aid the
Kosovo Liberation Army in its war against Serbia.
This didn't go down too well at the Pentagon and
the White House, who at the time were trying to sell a war on terror and
gearing up to justify invading Iraq.
Milosevic made several speeches in which he
discussed how a group of shadowy internationalists had caused the chaos
in the Balkans because it was the next step on the road to a "new world
order."
During a February 2000 Serbian Congressional
speech, Milosevic stated,
"Small Serbia and people in it have demonstrated
that resistance is possible. Applied at a broader level, it was
organized primarily as a moral and political rebellion against tyranny,
hegemony, monopolism, generating hatred, fear and new forms of violence
and revenge against champions of freedom among nations and people, such
a resistance would stop the escalation of modern time inquisition.
Uranium bombs, computer manipulations, drug-addicted young assassins and
bribed of blackmailed domestic thugs, promoted to the allies of the new
world order, these are the instruments of inquisition which have
surpassed, in their cruelty and cynicism, all previous forms of
revengeful violence committed against the mankind in the past."
Milosevic was far from an angel, but evidence
linking him to genocides like Srebrenica, in which 7,000 Muslims died,
was continually proven to be fraudulent. In fact, Srebrenica was
supposedly a 'UN safe zone', yet just like Rwanda, UN peacekeepers
deliberately withdrew and allowed the massacre to unfold, then blamed
Milosevic.
Milosevic's exposure of UN involvement in the
Srebrenica massacre was another reason why tribunal transcripts were
heavily edited and censored, and another contributing factor towards his
murder.

20Feb06 THE HUNT FOR SECRET GLOBAL MEETING IS ON
http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/secret_global_meeting.html
AFP'S JIM TUCKER BEGINS QUEST FOR
BILDERBERG
By James P. Tucker Jr.
American Free Press is busily engaged in the
annual ritual of hunting down the Bilderberg Group, which will hope to
meet in secret this spring. When the last rock is turned over and their
location and meeting times unearthed, AFP readers will be the first in
America to know.
Some sources believe Bilderberg will meet near
Innsbruck, Austria, as it did in 1988. Others think somewhere in North
America, as Bilderberg has a number of times over the years. Adding
weight to this theory is that it is North America's 'turn' to host
Bilderberg.
Typically, the power elite meets in Europe for
three years, then in North America. The last Bilderberg meeting on this
side of the pond was in Chantilly, Va., in 2002.
Uncovering the secretive group of international
financiers and political leaders is a difficult annual challenge. A year
ago, the precise location and date in Germany were finally uncovered by
journalist and AFP collaborator Danny Estulin of Spain. AFP Managing
Editor Christopher J. Petherick had to call this sleuth in the middle of
the night and tell him to 'grab his other pair of socks' and head to
Dulles Airport in northern Virginia.
In 2000, when yours truly was with the now
defunct Spotlight, it was positively determined that Bilderberg would
meet in the area of Brussels, Belgium, June 1-3. But the precise
location was unclear.
I was standing at the Men's Bar in the National
Press Club, bag packed and waiting for the shuttle bus to Dulles, when
the break came. An old friend who was involved in international commerce
and who was personally acquainted with many Bilderberg luminaries, had,
as usual, been helping in the search.
He
called me with the precise location. I then called the news office and
the front page of the newspaper was taken apart and put together again
to reflect the breaking news.
This old Bilderberg hound is hoping we don't
have to cut it that close this year. But it gets tougher every year and
I'm keeping a week's supply of clean shirts on hand at all times.
INSIDE BILDERBERG
And although I'm not usually such a shameless
self-promoter, I would recommend that every AFP reader purchase my book,
Jim Tucker's Bilderberg Diary. In this 280-page book I recount the
adventures I have had tracking down Bilderberg and crashing their party
every year (almost) for the past 25 years.
I've also included dozens of exclusive photos
snapped by me and my colleagues of the meetings and which few-if
any-other Americans besides the readers of this paper and The Spotlight
have ever seen. I think you'll especially like the photo with me and
Maggie Thatcher, who agreed to a private meeting with me after she
realized Bilderberg was more than a 'tea and crumpet' party. She came
out publicly against Bilderberg after that and was the victim of a
Bilderberg campaign to have her defeated in herre-election bid as
Britain's prime minster.
Bilderberg doesn't like it when 'their own'
expose the group. There's lots more in the book but I wouldn't want to
ruin all the surprises for you. By the way, the proceeds from the
purchase of the book will go to help fund my travel expenses and the
other costs AFP incurs bringing you these exclusive Bilderberg reports.
Jim Tucker's Bilderberg Diary: One Reporter's
25-Year Battle to Shine the Light on the World Shadow Government is
available from AFP, 645 Pennsylvania Avenue SE, Suite 100, Washington,
D.C. 20003. Or call 1-888-699-NEWS. Get your copy for just $18 (reg.

08Feb06 - Canadian PM's successful Bilderberg
interview before getting 'elected'
Greetings from Canada,
I cannot thank you enough for your excellent
coverage and website of the Bilderbergers and their nefarious activities
which has been an eyeopener.
Have you noticed that our new "Christian"
"Conservative" PM Stephen Harper attended the Bilderberg conference just
a couple of years ago?
Methinks we are in for much closer ties and
probable merger down the line with the leaders of the terrifying
neighbours to the South.

The Denmark Cartoons
Anwaar Hussain - Fountainhead - February 7,
2006

http://www.arabamericannews.com/newsarticle.php?articleid=4384
http://malakandsky.blogspot.com/2006/02/denmark-cartoons.html
The derogatory cartoons that have the Islamic
world in throes of violent protests were first published in September
2005 by Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten. They were later republished in
Austria in January, and then at the beginning of February in a number of
European newspapers in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy and
Spain.
There have since been angry and sometimes
violent protests across the Islamic world, Britain and France. At least
six deaths have been reported thus far. A hornets’ nest has been stirred
with the end of the rapidly escalating crisis nowhere in sight.
Has it all happened innocuously and accidentally
or is it a deliberate attempt towards an ulterior motive? To answer
this question let us go back in time to May 2005.
Only four months before the crisis, between May
5 to May 8, 2005, a group of powerful men from today’s finance, industry
and politics huddled together in the warm and cozy rooms of the 5-star
Dorint Sofitel Seehotel Überfahrt in Rottach-Egern, Germany. Outside the
hotel, private and state guards patrolled with automatic weapons and
sniffer dogs. The gray Bavarian skies rained on.
This secretive cabal of powerful men otherwise
goes by the name of Bilderberg Group (a simple Google query will throw
up thousands of results). The Bilderberg Group is the only private
international organization that Time magazine rated 10 for secrecy on a
scale of 1 to 10 (10 being most secret).
So what do the defamatory cartoons have to do
with the Bilderbergs? Let us first have a look at the names of just some
of the attendees of the May 2005 conference. These were;
Josef Ackermann, Chairman, Group Executive

And of course there were the usual prime
ministers and U.S. government officials. Also present were the movers
and shakers of the Western media including media heads from almost all
the countries whose press chose to publish the insulting cartoons. The
names of Messers Michael Ledeen, Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz,
however, must ring some bells. (Click here for the complete list)
Also on the list of attendees was one Anders
Eldrep from Denmark. Anders Eldrep (sometimes spelled as Eldrup) happens
to be married to one Merete Eldrep. This lady is the managing director
of company JP/Politikens Hus (JP for Jyllands-Posten) that published the
slanderous anti-Islamic cartoons in Denmark.
Neither Anders Eldrep is an ordinary Tom, Dick
or Harry nor his wife exactly a babe in woods not to have understood the
repercussions of their actions.
Merete Eldrep, the wife, is a former Head of
Secretariat at the Ministry of Economic and Business Affairs and Deputy
Director of the Danish Energy Authority.
And Anders Elderp, her illustrious husband, is
the current Chairman of Denmark’s Oil and Natural Gas Company DONG and
has been Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Danish Finance up to the year
2001. He also has attended the last FIVE Bilderberg meetings thus far.
Interestingly, a previous editor-in-chief of 'Politiken', another of JP/Politikens
Hus's newspapers, namely Toger Seidenfaden, too was a long-time
Bilderberger.
Now a little more about
the Bilderberg Group.
In a
rare interview given to BBC, Etienne Davignon, 73, the chairman of the
Bilderberg Group and a former Belgian diplomat and European
Commissioner, dismissed claims that the Bilderberg Group is part of a
global conspiracy to rule the world by a self-selected elite of movers
and shakers. His dismissal is as natural as publicly admitting the
cabal’s sinister agenda would have been unnatural. Please read the
interview to form up your own opinion. In my judgment the sole aim of
the group is implementing a Euro-American, some say Anglo-American,
blueprint of a New World Order for the express benefit of these elites.
The Bilderberg discussions are structured on the
principle of reaching accord rather than through ceremonial resolutions
and voting. Such is the power and status of the active members that if
an agreement for action is arrived at, the resulting decision is
expected to be implemented in the West as a whole.
In the post 9/11 geo-political milieu
particularly, the group’s aim has been to buttress the foreign policies
of the governments of the United States and Great Britain or, more
simply, to help execute the precise formula sold internationally by the
Bush/Blair combo. This new world order, with the group’s unflinching
support, is being shoved down the collective throat of the world
citizenry under the guise of "global war on terrorism", and of
establishing "democracy", "peace", and "freedom" in the world.
Just three quotes from the lamb talk of these
Anglo-American leaders make clear enough readings of their intentions;
"Out of these troubled times [Iraq/Kuwait
conflict], our fifth objective -- a new world order can emerge: a
new era...We're now in sight of a United Nations that performs as
envisioned by its founders." September 11, 1990 - Iraq Speech by
President George H. W. Bush
"Our mission is clear: to rid the world of
evil" - Pres. George W. Bush, post-Sept. 11, 2001
"Out of the shadow of this evil [9/11],
should emerge lasting good... This is a moment to seize...let us
re-order this world around us." - British Prime Minister Tony Blair,
Oct. 2, 2001 (BBC)
My questions then;
Was this whole anti-Islamic cartoon exercise
actually nothing more than an innocent attempt at promoting the much
cherished cause of freedom of expression on sensitive
topics---anti-Semitism being disallowed, by word or action, by law in
most of the western world?
Or, given the ominous times we are in, the
Muslims are deliberately being provoked, exploiting their emotionality,
into presenting one seething, throbbing mass of foaming-at-the-mouths
herd of rabid cavemen image for their eventual annihilation? No one,
after all, cries over the mushroom clouds blotting the horizons over
beastlands.
Or is the scribe being overly alarmist?
You decide.

The controversy continues over the anti-Islamic
cartoons published in a Danish publication. The latest word notes that
Merete Eldrup, managing director of JP/Politikens Hus, the company that
published the cartoons, is the wife of Anders Eldrup, chairman of DONG
(Danish Oil and Natural Gas), a currently state-owned energy provider
about to be privatized.
Moreover, according to a posting on Indymedia
UK, as well as several other sources, Anders has been among the
attendees at the last five meetings of the Bilderberger gathering,
alleged by some to be an internationalist conspiracy bent on world
government.
Meanwhile, his wife, before she took over the
directorship at JP/PH, was both the Head of Secretariat at the Ministry
of Economic and Business Affairs, and the Deputy Director of the Danish
Energy Authority. She is currently Deputy Chairman and Managing Director
of the Copenhagen Business School. - ST

1st February 2006 - by: Robin Bloor

In 2006, Microsoft finds itself
waging a war on 4 major fronts - and, for the first time in its
existence, its hegemony is under threat. Here are 4 reports from our
intrepid correspondents that cover the various "theatres of war".
1. The Server War
When Microsoft first invaded the server market,
its initial target was the territory of Novell. A good deal of ground
was captured without much of a fight, as Novell users quickly
acknowledged that there was a new power in the land and decided to get
on with life rather than indulge in heroic resistance. Admittedly there
were some hold-outs but Microsoft could happily ignore them, while it
planned and then initiated its thrust into Unix.
Here resistance was much greater, although
Microsoft's blitzkrieg tactics and rapid flanking movements put the
allied forces of Unix on the defensive and ultimately saw them losing
territory as the campaign proceeded. Microsoft's powerful weaponry
(Exchange, SQL Server, IIS, SharePoint, etc.) was difficult to resist
and until the Unix allies introduced the Linux weapon, it looked as
though most of Serverland would find itself under Microsoft occupation.
Right now the campaign is intense with Microsoft
recently introducing a more robust SQL Server into the fray, in the hope
of capturing a good deal more of the high ground. Intelligence reports
suggest that in 2006 Microsoft will introduce further improved weaponry.
In particular, Microsoft has been plagued by security problems, its
security codes being regularly broken and its enemies have exploited
this in spectacular fashion on occasion, winning back territory that
Microsoft had once occupied. Rumour has it that Microsoft is finally
about to fix this sorry weakness, its major problem being whether it can
get its security technology deployed without losing further ground.
2. Open Source - Le Résistance
The partisans, the marquis, the resistance, the
Open Source Movement - call them what you want, they are a thorn in
Microsoft's side in many of its operations. The pattern is repeated
again and again; economic sabotage that undermines the profitability of
many Microsoft activities and threatens its hold on long established
territory.
A loose association of idealists, free-thinkers
and bloody-minded revolutionaries, the Open Source Movement is proving
to be more formidable opposition than many commentators imagined it
could ever be - what is left of the Novell regime has clearly thrown its
lot in with them and there can be little doubt that the allies
(particularly IBM, HP and Oracle) are keeping them supplied and fed.
It is no surprise then, that this resistance
movement has attracted the wrath of Obergruppenfuhrer Ballmer and set
the Microsoft propaganda machine in motion - condemning them as
communists and terrorists. As far as we can tell, there is little that
Microsoft can do to keep them under control and diminish the threat. In
the event that the allies make a major push into Microsoft territory,
there can be little doubt that the resistance movement will rise up to
help them.
3. The Road To
www.Moscow.com (as
illustrated by Google Maps)
At the outset of the Internet campaign,
Microsoft's quick and dramatic victory was stunning to the allies. The
Netscape forces under General Andreessen were utterly unprepared for the
force of the Microsoft attack. Indeed General Andreessen's dream of
marching his forces right on to the Microsoft desktop disappeared in the
first few days of the campaign as his forces collapsed and retreated in
disarray.
The purge of the dot coms followed and General
"search-and-destroy" Schmidt took control of the Internet forces as
Microsoft's armies laid siege to Yahoo.com and Google.com. The forces of
the Internet revolutionaries looked to be in deep trouble. Nevertheless,
it gradually became clear that Microsoft's forces were overextended and
ill equipped for the commercial climate of the Internet, where revenues
are scarce and the extreme conditions are merciless on the technology.
Indeed the attack on Google.com petered out
quickly, as it became clear that much of the Microsoft technology was
unusable in the harsh Internet climate and the forces of General Schmidt
clearly understood the terrain far better. As I write, the MSN division
is surrounded and unlikely to hold out for long. All across the wide
plains of the Internet Microsoft forces are in retreat and fighting a
rear-guard action as they fall back to the desktop and Serverland.
Personally, I doubt if General Schmidt's forces
will stop at the borders. If they get that far, they will surely march
on Redmond.
4. Disquiet On The Western
Front
Historians
will probably conclude that Microsoft should have eliminated Apple in
the wake of the battle of the GUI, while it was possible. Apple's defeat
saw it retreat behind its borders, almost isolated from the corporate
market and subject to a constant blitz of proprietary standards.
Occupying no more than a few percent of the
desktop, it seemed unlikely that Apple would hold out for long, but
Microsoft - diverted by its Internet campaign - chose not to invade,
when it was possible. Perhaps Bill Gates should have read his
Machiavelli more thoroughly: "Never wound an enemy, except fatally."
The tide has now turned. Redmond was clearly
shocked by the timing and the success of Operation iPod, which saw Apple
deploy its retail division in a classic flanking attack and establish a
well-supplied beachhead on territory that Microsoft had occupied for
years. Microsoft's media division and its Windows division, somewhat
demoralized by security breaches, have so far been unable to respond to
the threat in a coherent way. If they don't act soon then Apple too may
take the battle to Redmond.
Enough
Enough of this WW2 parallel. Microsoft is
fighting a war on multiple fronts. It has built a hugely successful
business based on lock-in and drag-along that is being threatened as
never before. 2006 is the year when its true mettle will be tested. On
the positive side it has a pipeline of new software updates with which
to drive business, including the long awaited and very late Windows
Vista. It is still immensely profitable and sits on an enviably large
cash pile.
But the force of fashion is no longer on its
side. Watch what happens later this year when Vista is released. I
expect Steve Jobs to rain on Vista's parade with style. Watch out Bill,
there's a Leopard behind you.
Surfin' Safari #38 - The
Bilderberg Group
The Bilderberg Group can be singled out as
special among putative groups of conspirators, for two reasons. First,
the group appears to be a loose association of individuals that really
are powerful or at least have very powerful connections. If you wanted
to create a conspiracy then you might indeed wish to approach one or two
"members" of this group. Secondly, because of the way it organizes
itself, the Bilderberg Group naturally attracts accusations that it is
"conspiratorial".
The Bilderberg Group was founded in 1954 (a mere
50 years ago) by Joseph Retinger (an American Freemason) and Prince
Bernhard of the Netherlands. As the group's activities are deliberately
secret it is difficult to know much about it for sure, but as far as I
can tell the following is true or close to the truth.
The goal of the organisation was and is to
promote co-operation between North America and Europe at a political and
economic level. Meetings of the organisation take place once or twice a
year, but irregularly and they are never announced. Security is heavy
and all journalists or observers of any kind are barred. Invitees
consist of; bankers, industrialists, prime ministers, presidents,
politicians and people of influence from Europe and North America and
reportedly, around 120 or so turn up to each meeting. Attendees can thus
say whatever they please, interact and influence each other.
So what do the Bilderbergers do? Well, it's
obvious really. They arrange assassinations, wars, election results,
weird rituals and much besides. Throughout our history, aliens have
controlled the human race through various secret societies, religions,
Satanic cults and occult movements and the Bilderberg Group is just one
of the means by which they achieve this - its their user interface if
you like. You know I could make this stuff up, but why bother when you
can find it just as easily using Google.
In reality the Bilderberg Group is pretty much
like the Illuminati - if you are inventing a conspiracy then its best to
add them in. Google both words (Bilderberg and Illuminati) and you get
50,800 hits. They don't line up so well with Zionists (a mere 22,000
hits) and they don't line up at all with the Rosicrucians (only a
handful of hits). They have a strong association with aliens (41,700
hits), assassination (43,300 hits) and surprisingly (to me) the Iraq
War.
When the wacky theorists of the web aren't
accusing them of nefarious activities, the Bilderbergers come under fire
for encouraging globalisation, which in all probability they do, if only
in an informal way. It is said that the Bilderberg Group was influential
in introducing the Euro into Europe and maybe they were. They may have
encouraged quite a few political developments that we've all lived
through. But we can never be sure, because its activities are secret -
and for that reason it's only possible to accuse them of worshiping an
idol that takes the form of an owl. (Yes indeed, they are owl
worshipers).
ARTGECO
More definitions from the Alternative Real Time
Guide to Enterprise Computing. (Disclaimer: IT-Analysis/IT-Director
takes no responsibility for anyone who takes any of these definitions
seriously).
CISC
CISC
stands for Complex Instruction Set Computer, which is strange because it
actually refers to a type of computer chip. As everyone knows a computer
chip on its own is not a computer, so CISC is a misabbreviation, or it
would be if misabbreviation was a word, which it isn't.
Encapsulation
The making of pills. A similar process can be
applied to software by wrapping it up in a container to stop it spilling
out all over the place. In computing, it used to be called structured
programming whereas in the transport industry it was called
containerisation. Object oriented fanatics called it encapsulation,
claimed it as an original idea and included it in the object oriented
creed. It is a religious term.
War Room
In today's complex corporate computer networks
with hundreds or even thousands of servers and vast portfolios of
business applications, things have got so complicated that nobody
actually knows how it all hangs together any more. This wouldn't matter
too much if things didn't go wrong every now and then, but they do. So
when something goes pear-shaped in such installations a whole host of
people (network managers, DBA's, system administrators, performance
specialists, support engineers, funambulists, etc.) need to meet up in
order to indulge in group hysteria and blame-storming. The place where
they congregate is usually referred to as the "war room".

Letter sent to Guardian Newspaper - my response to the article below
When conspiracy theories become
facts
Part of the security services job is to
discredit their critics. Nick Cohen lent them a hand on Sunday when he
branded The Bilderberg Group - yet to be seriously examined by UK
broadsheets - as a conspiracy theory.
Unfortunately for him, Nick's words were printed
on the day before the Guardian revealed that Bush and Blair conspired to
decieve the US and British people, legislature and the UN to invade
Iraq. And General Sir Michael Rose is still calling for the PM's
impeachment, presumably before the illegal occupation of Iran gets the
green light.
Nick is doing what so many people do when
confronted by a secret meeting of the western world's most rich and
powerful. He puts them in a box marked 'lizard men' and runs away.
Meanwhile some of us are trying to discover where and when this spring's
Bilderberg meeting will be and what leaks might be forthcoming about
NATO's plans to attack Iran.
In this brave new lawless world, conspiracy
facts are the bread and butter of all self-respecting journalists. Only
by carefully picking through the conspiracy theories will they be found.

Fascists are on
the march again
http://observer.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,,1697269,00.html
It is impossible to write anything about Jews
these days without being accused of being an anti-semite or a Zionist
imperialist. I think I'll take the coward's course and look at what the
victorious Islamists of Hamas think of Freemasons instead.
It was Masons, not Jews, who were the target of
the original conspiracy theory of the far right. What would end up as
fascism began as a reaction against the American and French revolutions.
The counter-revolutionaries had to explain why people were proclaiming
heretical ideas about the rights of man. They couldn't admit that the
French and Americans were embracing Enlightenment values of their own
free will. There had to be a conspiracy. Europe's Jews were in the
ghetto in the 1790s, and it was preposterous to pretend that they were
secret rulers of the world. So the far right decided that the
conspirators were the Freemasons.
Hitler banned Freemasonry and General Franco
executed thousands of Spanish Masons. You get an idea of how thoroughly
the ideas of the European reaction have penetrated the Middle East when
you look at the loathing of Masons on the Arab far Right.
Article 22 of Hamas's covenant says of the Jews:
'They were behind the French Revolution, the communist revolution and
most of the revolutions we heard and hear about, here and there. With
their money, they formed secret societies, such as Freemasons, Rotary
Clubs, the Lions and others in different parts of the world for the
purpose of sabotaging societies.'
I know Iraqis who had to run for their lives
when Saddam Hussein accused them of being part of a Masonic plot. Last
year, the Telegraph reported that Ahmad Thomson, a Muslim lawyer who
advises the Prime Minister on community relations, had declared that a
'sinister' group of Jews and Freemasons was behind the invasion of Iraq.
Everything from the ravings of the Iranian
leadership to the genocide in Darfur makes a little more sense if you
grasp that parts of the poor world have taken up the insane theories of
European fascism. And as Europeans ought to know by now, you need to be
very worried when the men who spout them get into power.
No stone left unturned
I'm not being sarcastic when I say that one of
the pleasures of being a journalist are the letters and emails I receive
from readers. They make you reconsider prejudices and confront issues
you had complacently ignored.
The exceptions are the ravings of conspiracy
theorists. The sinister forces behind their plots vary - Freemasons and
the Jews, reptilian aliens, the Bilderberg Group and the Illuminati -
but on one point they are unanimous: the intelligence services are in
league with their persecutors and are tapping their phones and opening
their mail.
Dear God, but what have our chaps in Moscow
done? Did they stop to think of the consequences of making stones in the
park objects of suspicion? From now on, newsrooms will be getting
letters in green ink from paranoiacs claiming that MI6 has turned their
rockeries against them.

Part
I - East and West on Collision Course
Globalization is not from the XX th or XXI th
century. It is as old as the XV th or XVI th century. Every move in
Globalization has been about reshaping the World, or giving a global
plan of control or a 'New World Order'. Behind the scenes, imperialism
has been sharing the natural bounty of the world to the profit of its
upper class, the Plutocracy. The rich who so much want to have one
absolute rule of this world.
From this old, old experience of world
domination, and this plan of the ages, the Upper classes were obliged to
give some apparent democratic power to people in America and Europe in
the late XVIII th century to replace the constitutional monarchy in
England, after the Civil War of England during the XVIIth century and
the reign of the Lord Protector Cromwell who gave an economic advantage
to England against the Dutch, but was a dictator. Although different
parts of the world were in touch during this phase of Globalization, no
idea of shaping a common world in values was apparent. In fact all
points of the globe were subject to the domination of European countries
as contributing factors for the Western Economy. England was intent to
destroy indigenous customs in the legislation inside these countries,
for example imposition of the English concept of the private ownership
of land, but other Western countries were applying their own legislation
without restriction.
The infamous and abhorrent human slave trade,
abolished in 1807, was a key contributor to maximum productivity and
competitiveness of these regions. With the development of industry,
colonies were kept as an hinterland which permitted certain plutocrats
to carve themselves out mini-monopolies in the competitive global
system, but this advantage was costing the nations too much in building
the infrastructure of civilisation: roads, ports, schools, teachers,
hospitals, medicine and so on...in the colonies. On the other side, some
of these colonies were bringing soldiers to the fronts in World War I.
(as in WWII).
World War I was a destructive conflict seeing
the plutocrats of the World springing from the internal contradictions
of capitalism. That helped the conflict to take place while the workers
representatives were negotiating the entrance to war. Jean Jaures, the
French socialist wanting an agreement between all the workers not to
participate in the war was assassinated before the war, while Kautsky,
,German socialist counterpart of Jaures, negotiated the acceptance of
the German war with the then " elite".
The result of this war was the entrance of the
US economy in the world's sphere. The banque de France lost all its gold
reserves while England was badly weakened. Germany was an economic ruin
and the policy of reparations helped America to shape the German
economy. As an example of that, let us say that before the first war,
all the Chief countries of the world had currencies based on gold. The
gold standard was a great gift of Providence. The war arrested and broke
up this monetary cosmopolitanism. After the outbreak of the war some
governments withdrew gold from internal circulation and replaced it with
printed money. Each note was overprinted.
At the close of the war the practical monetary
solidarity had disappeared and the overprinting of paper money
continued. Each sovereign power was struggling with its own monetary
problems and nobody was thinking of organizing an international
conference about it. Each power was trying to get the better of the
others. Each big money power resolved to get something kind of victory
over the others. Up to there London banking was an international service
centered in London . The City, through out its gold standard free
trading period had existed not for Britain but for the world. All was
now changed. These countries knew all about inflation! Impossible
reparation payments in gold was imposed upon the Germans and the USA was
building great hopes upon the debts reckoned in gold owing to her by its
war allies for munitions supplied in the common effort.
America returned to gold standard in 1919. The
more the price of gold came down, the more the repayments were onerous.
In 1920, the prices in USA were 247% of those in 1913. In Britain the
gold standard was still in suspense and Britain was using paper money;
prices were 324 % of 1913 and the pound note was at a level of
inferiority (247/324) to the gold dollar. In America there was a legal
restriction of credit. At the end of the year, prices were then at 42%
of what they had been in the month of May, 1920. Prices
remained stable up to the year 1929...In England,
there was such a credit restriction with the effect that the pound, in
four years from 1920, got parity with the US dollar. This involved a
restraint upon the business and a gigantic transfer of wealth from the
producing to the creditor classes. The people who bought War loans, for
instance, received interest in pounds of more than double the purchasing
value. USSR crashed its creditors completely, through inflation. Germany
Austria, Poland and Hungary were forced to follow the same path and
destroy their creditor class.
In the course of about eight years countries
were returning to something resembling previous conditions. Every
country except the USA was saddled with big external debts for war
expenditure, payable in gold, and the USA was carrying a big internal
debt on the same account. This was the turning point of the Power of
America in its ascendance. The second world war took place, giving the
maximum of power to the United States of America in a divided Europe and
divided world, thus giving predominance to Washington. In this phase,
'independence' movements appeared, many helped by Washington, in order
to take a hand on the most richness of the world.
Note this: these events were occurring after the
help of Asia and Africa, was needed by the allies to win the war. In a
sense, American economy and policy was planting a knife in the back of
its allies. Then Globalisation was entirely redefined around the center
of Washington, some nations being previously centered around Paris or
London. Bandoeng was the occasion for certain countries, most of them
attracted by USSR or others sincerely socialists countries, to thwart an
impossible choice (1956). At the end of the Western Independence
movement, and with the end of the Bandoeng movement (with the coup
against Sukarno in 1965) and the maximum influence of America in Asia
with the involvement of the USA in Vietnam at the same period we may
define the end of the 'independent phase 'around 1968. The policy of
'investment' was clearly defined in Washington after the war (1947) in a
formula which applied to the past 'coups de force' and 'coups d'etat'
and was drawing up plans for the future after being well tested in the
past.
The
central notion is to protect and let live the American investment
without any constraint. In case a band of syndicalists, communists, etc.
is threatening the American investment, the marines have to come in,
applying the uppermore force with the communists "terrorists". This led
to a lot of interventions in south America, Cuba, St Domingo etc... In
an actual world without communists, you replace these one with
'terrorists' and you get something alike, because terrorism is a 'image'
replacing the hatred 'communists'. But in the civilized Western world
you apply the notion of AMI or OMC to protect your investments against
'ugly' environmentalists. Let us go back to the colliding worlds.
The doctrine of anti communism by America ground
to a slow halt in 1975 with as prelude, the visit of US President Nixon
to China and the end of the bloody war in Indochina. The involvment of
USSR in Afghanistan war is the occasion taken by America to ruin USSR.
The American secret services are cleaned of anti communists.(1975)
Then in 1990, with no enemy in view, the USA
step up their politics to manage the world. Their politics are centered
around de-localisation and petroleum politics around the Caspian sea.
They priviledge Turkey and they operate in helping their allies of
Saudia Arabia and neutralize Iraq with the division in three military
zones and constant bombings. Although the Oslo agreement (1993) no real
truce or beginning of peace is taking place in Israel. The Council on
Foreign Relations (CFR) is expecting a lot from this peace. The Serbian
war (1990-1999) is helping the Americans to stabilize the Balkans for
the profit of the muslims to get their help in the Great Middle Orient
policy defined for the South of Asia. The war in Iraq (2003) Was to be
decisive. Their Afghanistan offensive in 2001 following the destruction
of the Twin towers was immediately successful without carrying the germs
of change.
I have to insist on this last phase, the more
important of Globalism. For the first time in civilization, West has
taken the terrible decision to transfer not A BIT of their industrial
power, but MOST of it.... Before, investments were made into the
'colonies' but the industrial heartland was kept in America and in
Europe and this should have happened because of the labour cost only and
maximum profit policy. On the other side in America and Europe pressure
is made to make the same profit upon the back of the remaining workers.
Their policy is thought about finance maximization and exploitation of
the mankind. The couple of force was acting politically together with
the Eurasia policy in order to get the maximum effect of CFR man
Brzezinsky's policy.
The destructive effect of that policy is under
our present eyes and will be worse in the years to come. I have to
develop certain concepts that will help the reader to understand that
the decision maker is daily confronted with walls running against him
and that a choice is to be taken every time this happens.These guys are
reorienting the studies in such a way they fabricate the events and give
the prepared solutions. If studied in a careful way ,and they do so, and
the fact of knowing the issue is giving an extraordinary power (not only
in finance) to these keymen.
PART II - TARGET IRAN: A TERRIBLE DECISION IN A TROUBLED WORLD
In fact, these guys were calculating upon a
major idea: the domination of the USA over all countries of the world
and initially over all regions of the world. The world domination of
American cultural values was a lure for all these people making
decisions. They thought the world was intending to become one with a
same mind and same sensations. The rose-smelling winds of Brzezinsky's
policies were blowing upon Eurasia and the Great Middle East. Everything
was going in their favor. Russia was weak and no more an Empire.
So the time was to lower all wages, moving
businesses to the Far Eastern world. The last dams were open and wealth
flowed from the pockets of their workers towards the rich owners. In
same time than delocalising, taxes's cut were voted always in favor of
the Upper Class while the mansion's funds were said not to be able to
finance the boomers pension. The realty principle should led people
without a job to bargain their work force. This was done under a lot of
regulations, Bolkenstein's project in Europe being the bogeyman, while
ordnances, regulations and sometimes votes are taken in a lot of country
of Europe leading to this situation and consolidating it. In the same
time, the US president was trying to force the US congress to vote laws
in such a way to be applied to American workers. Steinbruck, secretary
of economy of Germany (SPD- socialist) has said last week than in the
future there was no more reason for the State to pay any money to people
who lost their jobs and this after the socialist legislation voted
against the left's people under the name of a infamous German unionist,
Hartz IV. In these cases, socialists are more harder than conservatives!
and more cruel.
As I already said it last year, the puppets in
the European governments are dancing as their masters. (I do remember
that Krotchov, former leader of USSR, was one night obliged to dance
upon a table on order of Joseph Stalin, and never forgot it, but he was
a communist. In place we see democratic men dancing on order of
Washington, revolver being replaced by a bounty of corruption)
So, the marrionettes were doing as they were
told. Enthused by the success of Brzezinky 's plans and the American
plan, they followed the march to a world of full homogeinity.
On July 2, 2005 the organization of Shangai
decided to oust all American forces out of Asia. After a few months, and
a visit of the American Secretary of defense, Mr Donald Rumsfeld,
Kyrghisistan agreed to tolerate the American presence up the moment the
war in Afghanistan is finished. Neighbouring Uzbekistan has only German
elements on its soil. Americans are away. Iran was given a position of
observer. It is now clear than Asian Powers are accepting the role of
Iran as a padlock for the entire region. And no pressures will make the
organisation change its views about it.
Once the deal was understood in Washington,
pressure was launched against Teheran to force this country to make the
'right' decision. Threats in disguise, etc.. Expectations were made on
the vote of Rafhansdjani who is a rich man specialized in petroleum to
become president. The people of Iran decided otherwise and chose the
actual president who shares in common with president Bush a gloomy
vision of The End of the World. One being 'inspired' by God, the other
one thinking he is the 12th I man (hidden one) or Mahdi. But the choice
was taken in accordance with democracy, thus a bad choice.. Once the
trap was no longer working, the Iranian people chose the 'wrong' man,
intelligent men should have taken the decision to change plans and even
tactically moving towards discussion with the new Iranian regime. It's
not what we may see. Acceptatance that the world has now multi poles is
not even considered in Washington. We will see details of all this in
our framework about Bilderberg 2006 hereunder, but I would like the
readers to note the following:
In an analysis given to the paper "Le Monde"on
January 24, 2006, Thierry de Montbrial gave the same appreciation about
the 'homogenous world' and the 'heterogenous world' saying the second
option seems to become the true issue of the future of the world. I
detected a deep pessimism from him as he explained that the future of
Iran is in the hands of ...China and Russia. As I see it Russia and
China will not abandon Iran, even attacked by America or Israel. But the
anguish of Therry de Montbrial could mean that a bad decision has been
taken somewhere in the West. Some dates as early as 22nd March 2006 have
been put forward for the US/NATO forces to attack Iran. Iran is now
moving its rockets trucks everyday along the borders in place of once a
week. The principle of an attack was already unveiled in December 2005
by the weekly 'Der Spiegel' and the whole NATO plan was stopped then .
We will come back in the part III upon the consequences of the
upperclass on our world (and theirs as well) after what they did to most
of us.
What is astonishing in this story is that Mr
Olivier Roy, a regular Bilderberg attendant, has wrote an article last
month in the daily 'Le Monde' where he declares, that the muslim
reaction about the caricatures are de facto the result of the European
policy in the Middle East. The guiltiness is thus European and not a
word about the US diplomacy which was indeed looking the protests as if
they were innocent of all that. The idea ( with a lot of hypocrisy) of
mr Roy is that, living in a dangerous Mediterranean world full of muslim
terrorists will force the European to take their responsibilities in
securing this world with an special force ready to intervene at any
moment. As far I remember, even in the Israelian wars, never Europe was
forced to send troops in the region ( after 1956, America came in the
process, and since then, Europe was no more acting as a belligerant
party after the independence wars in Cyprus (1964), Algiers (1962-1963),
Tunisia (1956).
Now Bilderberg seem to push Europe to impose the
new " Mare Nostrum" US policy for the profit of Washington, with
European soldiers. Naturally will our political woodlouse's breeding
conform their policy to the views of Washington.
PART III - RUSSIA
Let us
have now a deeper look in the backgrounds of Russia. This point will
certainly be a central point in next Bilderberg meeting.
The daily Pravda http://www.pravda.ru/ was
delivering a real interesting article : "Russia may lose its military
influence on borders due to NATO's expansion" on January 26, 2005. We
may read:
<
http://english.pravda.ru/main/18/88/354/16801_arms.html >
"The
West continues to put pressure on Russia, trying to make the country
withdraw its troops from potentially dangerous territories. The Russian
Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov stated during his recent visit to Baku
that Russia could possibly pull out from the Conventional Armed Forces
in Europe Treaty (CFE). According to the minister, Russia may end its
membership in the treaty if the West continues to insist on the
withdrawal of the Russian military contingent from Georgia and Moldova.
The USA and several European countries accuse Russia of poor execution
of obligations.
The treaty to restrict conventional armed forces
in Europe was signed in 1990. According to the agreement between the
members of NATO and the Warsaw Treaty the document stipulated a gradual
reduction of arms deployed on the indicated territory. Russia has a
right to have 6,350 tanks and 11,280 armoured vehicles on its territory.
This quantity is enough to react to possible external threats. The
treaty was revised in 1999 when certain quotations for the deployment of
arms were fixed.
The new version of the treaty is highly
important for Russia. The conditions of the treaty restrict the quantity
of arms in the so-called flank zone. The unstable Caucasian region of
Russia is included in this territory: it is obvious that Russia should
concentrate more attention and weaponry in the region. The Russian
military command would like to add 400 tanks and 2,420 armoured vehicles
in the flank zone.
The new version of the document, however, which
settles the discrepancies, is considered null and void until it is
ratified by all member-countries. For the time being, the treaty has
been ratified by Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Ukraine. The question
regarding the regulation of the old problem was raised at the end of
2005. The Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov stated
during the OSCE summit in Ljubljana that Russia and other countries
participating in the treaty could lose the control over arms in Europe
if the treaty remained unratified. "I do not think that someone of us
would be interested in dealing with such a turn of events," the minister
said.
NATO tries to postpone the solution of the
problem, reminding Russia of the current problems in Georgia and
Moldova, where Russian military contingents are deployed. According to
Russian official, though, the alliance does not ratify the document but
continues to expand eastwards setting up more and more army bases.
Russia and Georgia managed to overcome numerous
problems in May 2005 and agreed to withdraw Russian bases from Batumi
and Akhalkalaki. Russia undertook to complete the process by 2008.
About 1,500 Russian servicemen are still
stationed in Moldova. The question of ammunition depots, which Russia
will have to destroy, is much more important, at this point. Slovenia's
Minister for Foreign Affairs Dimitry Rupel criticized Russia. The
official stated that he could see no excuses for the ongoing neglect of
duties: "We still argue about the agreements achieved in Istanbul in
1999 regarding the withdrawal of Russian forces from Moldova," Rupel
said.
NATO's growing number of members (Lithuania,
Latvia, Estonia and Slovenia have recently become members of the
alliance) complicates the dialogue. New members do not participate in
the Treaty on the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe. NATO may soon
deploy its troops in the Baltic states against the background of its
movement from Central to Eastern Europe. "
As we see it, homogeneity of the world is still
practiced by America and Europe. More, although the broken illusions of
Mr Thierry the Montbrial, it seems than the machine is going on to the
course of a collision with Russia, in the name of a Global world. I will
give you an evidence of this and I ask you to pay some attention to the
evidence:
"SECURITY THROUGH DIALOGUE AND
CO-OPERATION "
31/01/2006,
Brussels.
As Belgium is president of OSCE in 2006, an
inaugural conference organized by the government AND THE ROYAL INSTITUTE
FOR INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS will take place on January 31, 2006."
As the old borders doesn't exist anymore and
that the European and Eurasian landscape is moving quickly, the OSCE is
heavily involved in a institutional reform mechanism...the conference is
organized to make OSCE a regional chief in security matters, with its
state members, may adapt its role in the new environment."
The speakers will be the secretary of foreign
affairs from Ukraïne, M. Borys Tarasyuk. Panels will be presided by: Mr
Etienne Davignon, Président of the belgian IRRI and by the professor Jan
Wouters, of the catholic university of Leuven.
- Chair : Mr. Etienne Davignon (President,
Bilderberg Group)
- Mr. Vladimir Chizhov, Ambassador, Permanent
Representative of Russia to the European Union : "Reform and New
Perspectives"
- Prof. Victor-Yves Ghebali, Institute of
International Studies, Geneva : "The Ljubljana OSCE Reform Agenda:
Towards Brobdignac or Lilliput ?"
- Mr. Marc Perrin de Brichambaut, Secretary
general of the OSCE Closing address: Mr. Pierre Chevalier, Special
Envoy of the Chairman in Office
As you may see it, Russia will be a central
question to be treated not only by the Belgian of the OSCE in 2006, but
by more powerful people who favour the 'worlds in collision' option
because they stand to gain from it. A lot of evil may come from this
situation.
I have here above described the mechanism at
work with this central and important question and the views of the one
and others. It is well known but terrible fact that what the Russians
say is ignored by the Western media.
PART IV - DEVELOPMENTS - NEAR EAST AND FAR
These are both non conclusive wars and
Afghanistan is now demanding more and more Nato forces. To say that
Europe is now embroiled in the heartland of Eurasia in the last
preparations of a long, long war. A recent declaration of mr Karzai is
speaking of a war of possibly ten years. This will be a Nato charge. The
Great Middle East policy is now taking the straight road of failure. Mr
Sharon is still incapacited and there are no big policy makers in Israel
to impose some kind of peace. Hamas is the winner of 25th January
elections in the Palestinian State. This may not help...In Egypt , the
Muslim Brotherhood is the real winner of the last elections. In Lebanon
, the Hezbollah is still keeping its weapons and sometimes using them
upon Israel. Last elections in Iraq, which took a month to count,
resulted in an inconclusive Shiites win.
This is not at the brink to help any democratic
system. I have to say that all these countries know more about democracy
than most. They all inherited parliaments from their colonisers before
the Americans came.... In such a way, we may understand the despair of
the State Department about this trend, where NGO money favours the rise
of non democratic movements. To that, president Bush is answering that "
these guys once in a parliament are obliged to accept the democratic
system.". A recent declaration of Shtaransky says that: "Peace Will Only
Come after Freedom and Democracy"
<
http://www.meforum.org/article/666 >
The Palestinians after Arafat: Democracy and
Freedom from
www.meforum.org
Sharansky: There is progress today in the Middle
East because the most dangerous regime, that of Saddam Hussein, has been
removed. Saddam Hussein's Iraq gave legitimacy to terrorist groups
across the Middle East. Saddam's was a regime that used human life to
break the will of the free world. That the West allowed Saddam's regime
to continue to hold his people hostage for so many years, encouraged
dictators and terrorists worldwide, and discouraged potential dissidents
within Iraqi society. But today the situation has changed. The death of
[Yasir] Arafat also creates new possibilities.
MEQ: How strong is the will for political change
among the Palestinians? Sharansky: Whenever people are given an
opportunity not to live in constant fear, not to live a life of
doublethink, they choose freedom. If given the opportunity, the
Palestinians can progress toward democracy. They have a strong middle
class. They have special business opportunities in the free world.
Palestinians are adroit observers of Israel and understand the
functioning of democracy. The Palestinian diaspora is well educated. All
of these factors provide hope for a speedier transition. There is no
doubt that the change of leadership resulting from Arafat's passing
creates opportunities. Whether Palestinians seize these opportunities is
another question.
MEQ: In The Case for Democracy you write that
"Palestinians, like every people, are capable of building a free
society." Does Israel have any role or responsibility to help create the
conditions for a free Palestinian society?
Sharansky: Israel has a special interest in
Palestinian democracy because only with democratic development among
Palestinians and in the Arab world will Israel enjoy peace and
stability. We can complain as much as we want about the lack of freedom
and the lack of democracy among the Palestinians and other neighbors,
but we should never forget our role. Israel and other nations in the
free world tried to turn a Palestinian dictatorship into a partner. Many
Israeli and American policymakers thought that a Palestinian
dictatorship would bring stability. We were not ready to support any
form of dissent in the Arab world and among the Palestinians because we
believed it would weaken the Palestinian Authority and any chance for
peace. Israel, the United States, and other free nations need to realize
that they can play a very positive role, but that their choices can also
be harmful for democracy.
MEQ: You also wrote that free elections can only
take place in an atmosphere devoid of fear and only after the basic
institutions that protect a free society-such as a free press, the rule
of law, independent courts,
and political parties-are firmly in place. Can the
Palestinian Authority elections meet these
criteria?
Sharansky: We should have no illusions that the
elections that will take place in January [2005] will have anything to
do with democracy. Elections that are not free, that are not held in a
free society have nothing to do with democracy.
MEQ: Are Palestinian elections at all
worthwhile?
Sharansky: Elections are worthwhile, but casting
votes in and of itself is not enough. Democracy can only start when the
new leadership selected in these elections embraces reform. A lot
depends on our policy. If we embrace a leadership that embraces reform,
or if we refuse to give any legitimacy or support to a leadership that
refuses to bring democracy and reform, then there is a serious chance
for success. In the upcoming Palestinian election, different faction
heads will decide the candidates in advance. Voters will not really have
the freedom to express their opinions. The leadership selection has
nothing to do with democracy, but it is important that this selection
take place as soon as possible.
MEQ: What should happen then?
Sharansky: We should not pay too much attention
to who will be the next Palestinian leader, but we should pay attention
to what we demand of this leader. The first steps towards democracy will
be after elections and not before.
MEQ: Is your opposition to the Gaza
disengagement plan a matter of principle, or are you concerned over its
practical implementation?
Sharansky: Questions of principle and practical
matters are always connected for me. I was against the disengagement
plan not because I believed we should stay in Gaza but because one-sided
concessions could transform Gaza into a beachhead for a terrorist state.
If a Palestinian democracy developed, then a Palestinian state would not
be dangerous. As I said many years ago, it is very important that the
depth of our concessions match the depth of democracy on the other side.
If disengagement were linked to democratic reforms, I would be all for
this plan. But I object to any plan that leaves territory for terror."
From that we are certain that the American
administration with the help of the UE has a lot of work to do from the
Palestinian mess .
As this file is still open, we may understand
that it will yet figure in the agenda of Bilderberg 2006. The presence
of mr Haass will be certain. After the Hamas results and the financial
and political boycott which followed, we may only be certain that our
political quibblers over the US domination will try to use the money
donations to change the actual situation. As we see it a democratic vote
is not forcibly democratic. Yet another conclusion: the Near East they
were handling has become another powderkeg.
The Force of Liberty- and its
opposite- Guantanamo and Abu Graïb
As last year's Bilderberg meeting had, as
speakers, Mr Henry Kissinger and Anatoli Sharantsky talking about
'Expanding Freedom' This doctrine centered about the work of an NGO in
central Asia has been legally blocked by the Russian Douma and the
counter offensive of Moscow after the New Alliance forged inside the
Shangai Organisation on July 2005 against the Zbrezinsky 'Eurasia'
operation. On this occasion, Iran was invited as an Observer and will
acquire this stature permanently in 2006.
What we have to understand is that this ploy has
ended. More, the opening of such kind of discussion will be immediately
counter balanced by the Guantanamo and Abu Graib problems with the
'rendition' program.
We may infer from that, this subject will not be
open at Bilderberg 2006 because of the high potential of dissidence
between Europe and USA. This will be meddled with the theme 'Russia'. As
far as the complete legal resolution of Guantanamo Concentration camp is
not legally solved although the demands of Angela Merkel and other
Western heads, the subject could be dangerous for the 'Allies'.
Asia and China
As the defense of Taïwan is being the priority
of Bush administration, China is going on with its quick rate of
development. This rate demands China secure its raw material resources.
We have seen last year a lot of bilateral
contracts between China and Africa countries as well as South American
ones. In Africa, China is practicing the gift option, to say give a sum
of money to help these countries, instead of giving under 'structural
adjustment' conditions as the IMF is doing. In these conditions, African
countries are willing to work with this sort of guys and China is
becoming the first export destination at the detriment of France, for
instance. This explain as well last year 'gift' by IMF towards
commonwealth countries of Africa.
As China's sources of material and petroleum are
only commercial ones, without political ideas, and that the general idea
is about free trade and neo liberalism, not free-speech, nothing can be
made to block the trade. Mr Snow, American secretary of the Treasury,
wanted another revaluation of the Chinese Yuan. He got a big surprise:
On January 7, 2006 by a declaration of the Central bank of China,
written in Chinese on the bank's web site, the governor was quietly
declaring that China will in the future not buy as much US dollars
federal notes as it did in the past.
You may imagine the result of such declaration.
Ten days after, the governor declared that it was a 'mistake' that was
corrected. Let us call it an a 'friendly advice' towards the American
intentions.
The fact is that today ONLY HALF of the Chinese
reserves are in USD. The buyings of China plus the crisis of Iran is
helping petroleum and associated material to get more expensive.
PART V -
ECONOMIC PROBLEMS
The American way of solving its immediate
economic problems was always done with a downward trend in interest
rates at the long term. This has permitted to Americans to endebt
themselves and go on with consumption buying. We have seen this
mechanism play in 1997, 2000. Every time when the mechanism is working,
Americans are able to renegotiate their debts and diminish their debt,
thus be able to buy again. American landscape is a real machine to give
credit to the people. This is helping people with a house to take a
credit advantage upon the increase of the value of their house.
But a lot of qualified Americans are without
work , due to globalization consequences of delocalisation and
outsourcing.
People who are recovering a job are non
qualified people for at least 70 % of the job created. Concurrence from
Mexican workers and outsourcing are allowing big business to put a brake
on the wages. The biggest problem in the American economy are now the
commercial and payments deficits. It is commonly accepted by
international bankers that if chock happens it will be fatal to the US
economy. As reported by R. Leuschel, a former ING Bank guru and other
sources of informations, M3 will no more be published by the Federal
reserve end of March.
This is meaning that this important figure
showing the real inflation will no more given to the appreciation of
bankers, or stock share holders. Bernbank is possibly a 2006 guest of
Bilderberg.
This could be the answer to any major event
which may come. Another powder keg!
EU-US RELATIONS
Under the auspices of the 'fight against
terrorism' and secret agreements taken with USA, Europe is developing
special laws which undermine democracy in Europe ,as in America. The
fight for democracy is now a fight towards tyranny on the two sides of
the Atlantic Ocean. The whole thing is placed in a common interest
towards the dominance of the upperclass on the whole Society. In Europe
as in America, flows of money are coming from the poorest towards the
pockets of the richest. The 'new elite' [ as Napoleon should have said
it, is looking like a silken stocking, full of shit] is considering
charity as inutile, as the poors. [a great thought from mr Greenspan]
because the poors do not deserve charity.
In Europe and in the USA , we are slowing going
toward a fight between the fierce men and the new Fascist state
practizing a new kind of morale that we last saw in the Republic of Salo,
1944.
The end of communism in 1990 was the beginning
of this new turn, as in 1920 in England.
A future potential powder keg, even if these
societies are condemned to fascism by the richer of them.
CONCLUSIONS
As far as it is difficult to give the exact
future of the discussions, I presented the important themes of this year
venue ( I did not spoke about 'Energy and Oil' because a real good idea
of it was given last year by Daniel Estulin, although this theme will
again be debated this year with new options in nuclear development and
society new options.).
As a confirmation of all this, Suez under the
menace of a OPA from Enel Italy, was obliged to make an alliance with
Gas de France , under the auspices of the French governement. What is
spiced in this story is that France will own 34% of the shares of the
new company. So the Champion of Bilderberg and of neoliberalism, mr
Davignon, is obliged to work with the French State! This is certainly
not amusing for him in company of Mrs Mestrallet and JP Hanssen of
Electrabel. Anyway as I previous told it, the energy future in Europe
will deal with atomic electricity production, and new atomic centrales.
This is a certainty!.
In any case, neo liberalism has proven his
mephetic role in creating a lot of poverty worldwide but keeping safe
the interests of the richers. Their ambition is to rule upon us, kept as
poors and slaves of their willingness. If the cake is growing enough
they surely will share it between them!(As usual)
As last year, my appreciation will be subjected
to the subjects of the new conference as delivered in the official
Bilderberg list. Last year I was not too far from the official topics (
I forgot the non proliferation problem spoken by Therese Delpech and her
ideas about the new barbarians)... But you and me know who are the new
barbarians!

14Jan06 - Halifax Live - Powerful Men Who Meet Secretly and Plan
http://www.halifaxlive.com/content/view/412/32/
Written by D.L. McCracken
Saturday, 14 January 2006
Sometime later in 2006 the 52nd meeting of the
Bilderberg Group will begin and continue over a period of four days in a
five-star hotel resort. In attendance will be no more than 100 of some
of the west's chief political movers, business leaders, bankers,
industrialists, strategic thinkers and even a trusted journalist or two.
All participants will be absolutely forbidden from disclosing what they
discussed during the four days although the invited journalists are
provided with a vague press release for the curious.
For instance, last year's Bilderberg Meeting
which allegedly took place at the Dorint Sofitel Uberfahrt hotel near
Munich, Germany dealt with such wide-ranging topics as American-European
relations, Russia, Iran, Iraq, the Middle East, Asia, economic problems
and nuclear nonproliferation. No details will ever be known as will be
the case this year.
When the four-day meeting is over various minor
tidbits of information will make mostly non-mainstream news and
conspiracy theorist’s websites which is exactly what the Bilderbergers
want to occur - their thinking is as long as the conspiracy theorists
keep up a constant barrage of "whacko" dialogue about the secret
society, the longer their secret and their real agenda will remain safe.
The name 'Bilderberg' derives from the very
first meeting of the group way back in 1954. The first group met at the
Bilderberg Hotel in Holland. The first meeting was called by Prince
Bernhard of the Netherlands in response to his concerns regarding the
increasingly antagonistic relationship between the U.S. and Western
Europe thus providing the Group with a declared purpose - to further the
understanding between Western Europe and North America through informal
meetings between powerful individuals. The Group has grown since that
first meeting in 1954 and has met once a year every year since that
time. Most of the world has no knowledge of the society or their
meetings.
The Group has incorporated two official
languages into their meetings - English and French. Spouses of all
invitees are banned from attendance and invitations go exclusively to
residents of Europe and North America. The list of invitees will never
be more than 100. As mentioned earlier, journalists are invited but are
banned from reporting any of it and are not allowed entrance into the
actual meetings. Everyone invited whether they are kings or prime
ministers or world renowned business tycoons are expected and required
to leave all official credentials at the door - when they enter into
official discussion, they are participating as members of the human race
only. Security is provided by military intelligence. Which military
intelligence is not known. Of course, this only perpetuates the
conspiracy theorists belief that the Bilderberg Society are the puppet
masters of a New World Order and have been pulling the strings of
humankind since at least 1954.
Even though this could very well be the truth,
the Bilderbergers continue to feel secure and safely protected by these
same conspiracy theorists, the "whackos" who no sane person would
believe for a moment.
Every year before the official announcement of
the next Bilderberg Meeting, the Group releases a list of the year's
attendees. One might ask why such a secret society would be so foolish
as to release the names of those invited. Actually it's quite simple -
how else are these famous movers and shakers going to explain a mass
four-day disappearance? Far better to be up front in the beginning then
to say nothing and invite intrusive snooping later.
There has been no mention of the dates for the
53rd annual Bilderberg Meeting of 2006 and subsequently, no list of this
year's attendees. But to place the meetings into even more perspective,
it is quite easy to find lists of last year's meeting or the year
before. Keep in mind, there is no reason supplied by the Bilderbergers
as to why a specific person has been invited nor will there be. They
have wisely left that supposition up to the conspiracy theorists.
So let's take a look at a few
of the past and current attendees to the annual Bilderberg Meetings:
-Secretary
of Defense Donald Rumsfeld;
-Former US Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz;
-Henry Kissinger who helped found the Group;
-U.S. Sen. J. William Fulbright;
-Dean Acheson (Secretary of State under Truman);
-President Johnson’s Under Secretary of State, George Ball
-Nelson Rockefeller
-David Rockefeller
-Kennedy’s Secretary of State Dean Rusk
-Gerald Ford
-Prince Philip
-Lord Louis Mountbatten
-Robert S. McNamara
-Margaret Thatcher
-Lester Pearson
-Helmut Schmidt
-Donald S. MacDonald (former Canadian Defence Minister)
-Henry Ford III
-Gen. Walter Bedell Smith (former CIA Director)
-Gen. Alexander Haig
-Michael Dukakis
-Bill Clinton
-Vice President Dan Quayle
-Conrad Black
-Raymond A.J. Chretien
-Stephane Dion
-Preston Manning
-Frank McKenna
-Paul Martin (while Minister of Finance)
-Stephen Harper (while Leader of The Opposition in 2003)
While I have presented an extensive list here,
the full roster goes on for pages.
Interestingly enough, no actual proof can be
found that George W. Bush ever attended a Bilderberg Meeting. The
closest one can come to associating Bush with the Bilderbergs is the
fact that he was visiting several Bilderberg venue cities at the time of
the meetings. His name however is not on any official lists.
So where does all this leave us? Really, no
further ahead then the beginning. Anyone can Google 'Bilderberg' and be
provided with reams of material. But not one word in all those pages
will be officially sanctioned by the Group. Because they're secret. If
Paul Martin or Stephen Harper were pointedly questioned about their
participation in a Bilderberg Meeting, they might affirm that they were
in attendance because that is public knowledge. But they will not reveal
why they were invited nor will they reveal what they discussed while
behind closed doors.
This bothers me. Someone at one time coined a
little phrase in an attempt to sum up the Bilderberg Group and it goes
like this: The Bilderberg Group is a “little clique of powerful men who
meet secretly and plan..."
Scary little phrase, isn't it..

THIS (ABOVE) IS A SHOT OF
THE BACK COVER OF THE C.F.R’S ANUUAL REPORT 1997
The
Prince and the Nazis
The furor over Prince Harry of England
donning Nazi uniform is astonishing.
There has always been a close
association between the Royal Family and the Nazi Party.
The Queen's husband, Prince Philip was
trained in the Hitler Youth curriculum, Nordic and Aryan myth,
and eugenics.
His four brothers-in-law, with whom he
lived, were all German who all became high-ranking figures in
the Nazi Party.
Philip was the only boy in the family
and his four sisters were considerably older than he "more like
aunts than sisters" as one biographer put it. Philip lived with
his sisters and their husbands because his parents had a
"difficult" home life. His four brothers-in-law were all German
and all became high-ranking figures in the Nazi Party.
Through the influence of his sister,
Theodora, young Philip was sent to a German school near Lake
Constantine that had been founded by her father-in-law, Max von
Baden, and his longtime personal secretary, Kurt Hahn. Though
half-Jewish, Hahn was an early supporter of the Nazi Party, and
the school was a hotbed of Hitler Youth activity, Nordic and
Aryan myth, and eugenics.
Philip's sister Margarita married a
Czech-Austrian prince named Gottfried von Hohenlohe-Langenburg,
a great-grandson of England's Queen Victoria; Theodora married
Berthold, the Margrave of Baden; Cecelia to Georg Donatus, Grand
Duke of Hesse-by-Rhine, also a great-grandson of Victoria; and
Sophie to Prince Christoph of Hesse.
By 1935 Prince Christoph was chief of
the Forschungsamt (directorate of scientific research), a
special intelligence operation run by Hermann Göring, and he was
also Standartenführer (colonel) of the SS on Heinrich Himmler's
personal staff.
The Forschungsamt used electronic
intelligence-gathering methods to police the Nazi Party, while
working with the Gestapo against the Catholic Church and the
Jews.
The son of Sophie and Prince Christoph
was named Karl Adolf after Hitler and Prince Philip afterwards
took a keen educational interest in his nephew
Prince Christoph's brother, Philip of
Hesse, married a daughter of the King of Italy, and became the
official liaison between the Nazi and Fascist regimes.
Philip's sister Cecilia and her husband
Georg Donatus, hereditary grand duke of Hesse-by-Rhine, died in
1937 when the plane they were flying to London in crashed. It
was a Junker belonging to Hermann Göring.
Schloß Friedrichshof - Where the Duke of Windsor's Nazi
correspondence was found
Another relative of Philip was the
Prussian Prince Bernhard von Lippe who joined the Nazis while
studying at the University of Berlin in 1934 and worked openly
in the motorised SS. According to Newsweek (April 5, 1976) it
was known that Prince Bernhard was a member of a special SS
intelligence unit in IG Farben and this had originally been
pointed out in testimony at the Nuremberg trials.
Bernhard resigned from the SS, in 1937,
when he married the future Queen Juliana of the Netherlands.
Adolf Hitler forwarded a congratulatory message though Bernhard,
who became a naturalised Dutchman.
Philip and Bernhard remained not just
distant relatives but close friends and in October, 1961,
founded the World Wildlife Fund.
In the Queen's family her Uncle, the
former King Edward VIII, had considerable Nazi sympathies as did
his mistress and later wife, Wallis Simpson.
Edward's and Wallis' Nazi sympathies
were, in part, responsible for him being forced off the throne
although the version the public got was that Wallis, as a twice
divorced American, would be an unsuitable wife for a King.
In 1945 MI5 officer Anthony Blunt was
sent to Germany as a personal emissary of King George VI to
retrieve papers written between the Duke of Windsor and Nazi
officials that, had they been made
public, would probably have destroyed the Royal family.

Many years' later it was revealed that Anthony Blunt was a
Soviet spy. He was enabled for many years to maintain his
position as survey of the Queen's pictures because of his
implied threat to tell all the Nazi secrets of the Duke of
Windsor if he were sacked.

When the Duke and Duchess of Windsor sailed into Palm Beach, Florida, on
the SS Berkshire from Nassau on April 18 1941 they were looking forward
to enjoying three days of relaxation at the Everglades Club playing golf
and drinking and gossiping with American high society.
Little did they know that the previous night instructions had gone out
from President Roosevelt to FBI chief J Edgar Hoover to launch what was
to be an extraordinary covert intelligence exercise that had to fool
both the exiled royals and the US secret service agent who was guarding
them.
The exercise was launched after the FBI had been passed intelligence
that the duke and duchess were being used by the Nazis to obtain secrets
which could wreck the allies' war effort. The US investigation became
even more lurid when FBI agents interviewed a benedictine monk in a
Franciscan monastery in the United States; Father Odo had once been the
Duke of Wurttemberg, a minor German royal with connections to Queen
Mary, the duke's mother, and her brother, the Duke of Athlone, then
governor general of Canada.
He told them that a prime suspect in the investigation - Joachim von
Ribbentrop, then the Nazis' foreign minister - had been the duchess's
lover when he was ambassador to Britain in 1936. The minister was
already thought to have been supplied with information by the duchess
during the German invasion of France in 1940. Now it was suggested that
there was far closer arrangement.
Father Odo told the agent: "He knew definitely that von Ribbentrop,
while in England, sent the then Wallis Simpson 17 carnations every day.
The 17 supposedly represented the number of times they had slept
together."
He also revealed that the Duchess of Windsor had told guests at a Paris
party that: "The duke is impotent and although he had tried sexual
intercourse with numerous women they had been unsuccesful in satisfying
his passions."
He went on: "The duchess in her own inimitable and unique manner has
been the only woman who had been able to satisfactorily gratify the
duke's sexual desires."
Exile
The duke was forced into exile after he abdicated as King Edward VIII in
1936. He first went with his lover, formerly the American divorcee
Wallis Simpson, to France and was only later exiled again to Bahamas to
keep him out of the way.
By the time the US president authorised the intelligence operation, the
couple had been deserted and snubbed by the royal family and the British
establishment. They were suspected of favouring the Nazis after they
visited Germany in 1937 and were entertained by Hitler and other senior
Nazis.
A year after war broke out, the FBI sent a memo to President Roosevelt
outlining the agency's worries about the couple. It stated: "It has been
ascertained that for some time, the British government has known that
the Duchess of Windsor was exceedingly pro-German in her sympathies and
connections and there is strong reason to believe that this is the
reason why she was considered so obnoxious to the British government
that they refused to permit Edward to marry her and maintain the throne.
"Both she and the Duke of Windsor have been repeatedly warned by
representatives of the British government that in the interest of the
morale of the British people, they should be exceedingly circumspect in
their dealings with the representatives of the German government. The
duke is in such state of intoxication most of the time that he is
virtually non compos mentis. The duchess has repeatedly ignored these
warnings."
When war broke out, the duke, a serving officer, had been posted to
France to liaise between the British and French armies. But the secret
memo, on September 13 1940, reports that an informant had "established
conclusively that the Duchess of Windsor has recently been in touch with
Joachim von Ribbentrop and was maintaining constant contact and
communication with him."
"Because of their high official position, the duchess was obtaining a
variety of information concerning the British and French official
activities that she was passing on to the Germans."
After the Germans invaded northern France in May 1940, the couple fled
to Biarritz in the south. But the FBI noted that the Nazis were able to
score a propaganda coup by broadcasting that the "increasing successes
of the German armies" had compelled the couple to retreat to a Biarritz
hotel. Within minutes of checking in, Berlin radio announced their hotel
room number because the unnamed informant "had ascertained that the
duchess had informed von Ribbentrop of her itinerary, schedule, etc,
prior to her departure from their villa."
The couple then travelled to Spain in June 1940 "but the communications
between the duchess and von Ribbentrop were apparently facilitated
because of the pronounced Nazi sympathies in Spain."
In July 1940, the pair moved to Portugal where the duke made indiscreet
remarks that Britain stood little chance of resisting a German invasion
and may as well try to settle for peace with the Germans. Ribbentrop,
encouraged by these remarks, hatched a plot to lure the Windsors into
German hands.
But Winston Churchill had arranged for the duke to become governor of
the Bahamas in August 1940.
"The British were and are always fearful that the duchess will do or say
some thing which will indicate her Nazi sympathies and support, and
consequently it was considered absolutely essential that the Windsors be
removed to a point where they would do absolutely no harm," wrote the
FBI in the memo, one of a batch of 227 pages released to the Guardian
under the US freedom of information act. The FBI believed that the
Bahamas were selected to prevent the duchess from coming into contact
with British officials and scooping up more secrets to leak and that
special precautions were taken, presumably by the British, to prevent
her from "establishing any channel of communication with von Ribbentrop."
From their base in the Bahamas, the couple made frequent visits to the
United States during the war. In April 1941, President Roosevelt ordered
FBI agents to tail the Windsors discreetly when they visited Florida.
But J Edgar Hoover was alarmed because bodyguards from another
government department had been assigned to protect the
couple. He warned that
the bodyguards "would undoubtedly immediately detect the presence of any
undercover agents, which might result in considerable embarrassment to
all parties concerned".
Deal
Instead, the government arranged for the bodyguards to report back to
the FBI on where the Windsors went and whom they met. An 18-page report
was subsequently produced on the five-day trip.
On May 2, an FBI agent wrote to Hoover, saying that an English socialite
had told an informant that he had definite proof that Herman Goering,
Hitler's deputy, and the Duke of Windsor had reached a deal - "after
Germany won the war, Goering, through control of the army, was going to
overthrow Hitler and then he would install the duke as king of England."
The informant also stated that there was no doubt that "the Duchess of
Windsor had had an affair with Ribbentrop, and that of course she had an
intense hate for the English since they had kicked them out of England".

THE MAFIA, THE CIA, AND THE
VATICAN'S INTELLIGENCE APPARATUS
Alber t Vincent Carone is one of those people who spent his
life dancing between raindrops and turning invisible wherever a
shadow lingered. He existed and also didn't exist. Al Carone--unlike
his near namesake, Al Capone--truly was a paradox wrapped in a
mystery concealed behind an enigma.
Carone was a detective in the New York Police Department, but
this didn't stop him from becoming a "made" man in the Genovese
crime family. He knew all the leading Mafiosi of his day, including
Vito Genovese, Sam Giancana, Santos Trafficante, Joe Colombo and
Pauley Castellano amongst others. To Carone's daughter, Dee, they
were all known as "Uncle". When she got married, her father arranged
two different reception rooms to separate the Mob guests from the
NYPD guests. But this was more window-dressing than anything else.
One of Carone's principal functions in the NYPD was to act as the
"bagman" in protecting shipments of CIA drugs to the various Mafia
families.
Carone died in 1990 under mysterious circumstances. This followed
a period of great personal disenchantment with his life, following a
secretive mission to Mexico in 1985 when a large number of innocent
women and children died unnecessarily. His death was horrific,
reports Mike Ruppert, editor of From The Wilderness newsletter, who
has investigated Carone's life story and written a special report on
it (see acknowledgements).
Meanwhile, another "Uncle" was Bill Casey, Director of the
Central Intelligence Agency during the Reagan Administration. Casey
had been with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World
War II. During the 1970s, he became Chairman of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) which regulates the US investment
industry. During his tenure in that role,
Casey used Carone as a "cut out" to pass sensitive insider
information to Mob capo Pauley Castellano, says his daughter, Dee.
Carone was also a Full Colonel in the US Army, where he had
operated in the Army's Counter Intelligence Corp (CIC).
Unsurprisingly, in view of his close friendship with Bill Casey, he
was also a covert operative for the CIA. But that wasn't half of it.
Carone was also a Grand Knight of the Sovereign Military Order of
Malta (SMOM), which historically has been the military arm of the
Vatican and is regarded as a separate State with full powers of
statehood, including issuing its own diplomatic passports.
In more recent decades SMOM has acted as a funding conduit, a
black market gold channel and money laundry for the CIA, amongst
others, and is known to act as the Vatican's intelligence arm. It
was alleged to be involved in, for example, the disappearance of
Russia's gold reserves--over 2,000 metric tonnes--which vanished
during 1991, around the time that Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev
was ousted from office.
Malta knighthoods are awarded to many leading individuals who are
part of the military and intelligence community. The CIA's Bill
Casey, for example, was a Knight of Malta. Former NATO General and
later US Secretary of State Alexander Haig is also a Malta Knight.
Another is General Vernon Walters, the former Deputy Director of the
CIA under DCI George Bush, and later appointed a roving ambassador
during the Reagan Administration. The legendary head of the OSS (the
WWII precursor of the CIA), "Wild" Bill Donovan, was made a Knight
along with his wartime compatriot and later CIA Chief of
Counterintelligence, James Jesus Angleton. And John McCone, another
prominent member of the US "spook" agency, was also distinguished
with a Malta knighthood. The list goes on. Most interesting is
Reinhard Gehlen, the former Nazi intelligence expert recruited by
the US in 1945&endash;46 to head the Gehlen Org--a secret,
German-based intelligence arm of the United States that was composed
of former SS and Gestapo agents, many of whom, including Klaus
Barbie, were wanted Nazi war criminals. The foregoing names amount
to a listing of some of the most powerful and influential members of
the Western intelligence community over the last five decades.
One Vatican group that has extremely close ties to the Knights of
Malta is the ultra-right-wing Opus Dei. This is an immensely
powerful faction in the Vatican today, and its public "do good"
activities eclipse a plethora of the darkest political and financial
machinations known to man. It will not come as a surprise, perhaps,
that Carone was closely associated with Opus Dei and, in particular,
with a covert operation that had its origin back in 1944. This was
Operation Amadeus.
FROM RATLINES TO DRUG SMUGGLING ROUTES
This highly secretive operation was part of the Operation Sunrise
negotiations conducted between Allen Dulles--the then senior wartime
OSS officer in Switzerland, but later to become the Director of the
CIA--and SS General Karl Wolff. This debonair and well-connected SS
officer commanded the SS and Gestapo contingents in Italy at the
time.
The result of these negotiations (at least those parts that are
now known about) was an agreement affording amnesty to an extensive
roster of SS&endash;Gestapo forces, in exchange for their agreement
to shift their allegiance to the West in the pre-planned, covert
battle aimed at defeating the Soviet communist "menace"--in other
words, the "Cold War".
One spin-off of these Dulles&endash;Wolff arrangements were the
Vatican-run "ratlines" that aided wanted Nazi war criminals to slink
to safety. Tens of thousands of SS and other Nazis escaped capture
as a result of the ratlines. These included such figures as Franz
Stangl, commandant at Treblinka extermination camp, and his friend
Gustav Wagner, who ran the Sobibor death camp. Others to escape in
this manner included Adolf Eichmann, the architect of the Holocaust.
Eichmann was later captured by Israeli intelligence agents, smuggled
to Tel Aviv where he stood trial and was eventually executed. In
comparison, Dr Joseph Mengele--known as "the White Angel", a war
criminal wanted for his cruel and inhuman experiments on death camp
inmates at Auschwitz--escaped to Argentina and lived a long life.
Operation Amadeus was exclusively concerned with the flight of SS
and Nazi war criminals to the South American continent and their
later ferocious covert actions against the indigenous populations
justified under the banner of "anti-communism". One individual
engaged in Amadeus activities was former Gestapo officer Klaus
Barbie, known to the world as "the Butcher of Lyon".
The principal means of funding Operation Amadeus activities was
the hugely profitable narcotics business. Large stocks of SS morphia
had been smuggled out of Europe and into "Catholic" South America at
the end of the War in accordance with the Sunrise agreement. The
morphia was accompanied by looted SS gold and large quantities of
counterfeit British banknotes, forged in concentration camps by
captive but skilled counterfeiters as part of an SS scheme known as
Operation Bernhardt.
The escape "lines" used to move wanted men around South America,
away from the prying eyes of Israeli agents, also proved ideal as
smuggling routes for drugs. Decades later, the stocks of heroin
smuggled into the United States for distribution by the
CIA-protected Mafia would be complemented with locally grown
cocaine.
One of the figures to emerge into the spotlight during the 1980s
who was deeply involved in this narcotics traffic was Colonel Oliver
North, who authorised the exchange of guns for drugs to finance
Contra operations. Oliver North was known to Al Carone under his
"work" name, "John Caffrey". This was the time when Carone was
engaged in CIA-controlled cocaine transactions with Joe "Pickles"
Percilia, a member of the Colombo crime family.
These curious and usually concealed connections between
governments (in the form of the military and intelligence
community), organised crime, the Vatican and Nazi war criminals have
some significant history. Not least was the secret agreement reached
between US Naval Intelligence officers and Mafia don Charles "Lucky"
Luciano during World War II. This resulted in the Mafia's decision
to aid and assist the Allies by contacting Mob figure Vito Genovese
in 1943 to prepare the way for the Allied landing in Sicily. As
earlier outlined, it was primarily those SS&endash;Gestapo units
located in Italy under command of SS General Wolff that were
initially concerned in the Operation Sunrise negotiations.
And while large numbers of former Nazis were fleeing south to
fight the communist menace in Latin America--and, more importantly,
to profit personally from their involvement in the lucrative drug
and gun business--in Europe, the spadework was being laid to
overthrow or thwart democratically elected governments via a network
of fascist-manned "Stay Behind units", organised under the aegis of
Operation Gladio. Not surprisingly, this would also lead to certain
involved figures making personal fortunes out of other people's
misery--a circumstance that is so commonplace it is barely worth
mentioning.
These neo-fascist activities would come to prominence in the
early 1980s following the collapse of Banco Ambrosiano and the death
of Italian banker Roberto Calvi, who was "suicided" and left hanging
under London's Blackfriars Bridge. This would lead to sensational
disclosures about the role of the Vatican Bank, the IOR, in Calvi's
financial empire and would quickly grow to include the activities of
Mafia financier Michele Sindona--whose activities, in turn, would
implicate leading blue-blood banks in Europe and America in Mafia
activities. Both Sindona and Calvi were close to Opus Dei, which
lost around $55 million when Sindona's empire crashed. According to
his family, Roberto Calvi was deeply engrossed in helping Opus Dei
take control of the IOR when he was killed.
Meanwhile, both Calvi and Sindona were members of the secretive
Propaganda Due (P2) masonic lodge, which is said to have been a
"parallel government" in waiting and which planned to effect a coup
d'鴡t in Italy following a Communist Party victory at the polls.
P2 was run by former Italian fascist and member of the Nazi SS,
Licio Gelli--dubbed "the Puppet Master" by the Italian press.
Gelli's connections to the ultra-hard-right and fascists in Europe
and Latin America were extensive. In fact, he had been deeply
involved in establishing the Vatican-run ratlines that aided the
worst Nazi war criminals to escape Allied justice at the end of
WWII. All told, an estimated 50,000 Nazis were helped to freedom.
Gelli had numerous powerful friends, including former Italian
dictator Benito Mussolini. He was also a personal friend of
Argentina's General Juan Perand his close associations with
Argentina would later lead him to be a key figure in shipping a
supply of French Exocet missiles to sink British Task Force ships
during the Falklands War. In this endeavour he worked closely with
Ronald R. Rewald, founder of the Hawaiian-based financial
institution Bishop, Baldwin, Rewald, Dillingham & Wong--a CIA
proprietary company and forerunner of the CIA-owned Nugan Hand Bank.
The involvement of a CIA front company engaged in financing and
providing weapons to be used against a key American ally (Britain)
with the wholehearted public support of the US Government may seem
somewhat duplicitous. However, in the world of "black ops",
"friends" and "enemies" are interchangeable words and working both
sides of the fence is accepted practice.
In terms of hierarchy, Gelli reported to Umberto Ortolani,
described by one writer as "the great Vatican door-opener" and
"secret chamberlain of the papal household". In addition to his P2
connections, Ortolani is also a member of the inner council of the
Knights of Malta and has military intelligence connections that date
back to WWII.
THE OCTOPUS AND THE SPIDER
There are numerous other masonic groups and secret societies in
Europe which move in and out of focus at various times. Almost all
of them are Catholic in nature.
One of these is the Priory of Sion (Prieur頤e Sion)--a secretive
order that first came to public attention via the best-selling book,
The Holy Blood And The Holy Grail, published in 1982. The Priory is
closely connected with the alleged treasure of Solomon which is said
to have found its way to the small village of Rennes-le-Chⴥau in
southwestern France, where it is said to have been buried by the
Knights Templars, forerunners of the Knights of Malta.
The Priory, whose headquarters were located at Annemasse, near
Geneva on the Swiss border, are styled as the "guardians" of
Solomon's treasure, but, most interestingly, they have numerous
subterranean connections to fascists and those on the far right that
date back to WWII. Meanwhile, it has to be noted in passing that
Annemasse is said to have been the centre for the anti-communist
Stay Behind units of Operation Gladio.
If this is not intriguing enough, another fact stretches
coincidence to the point of bursting. In recent years, the Priory of
Sion has moved its headquarters to Barcelona and now boasts a
Spanish Grand Master. This, one could conclude, is to enable it to
be physically closer to the historical heartland of Opus Dei, which
was founded in Spain in 1928.
If Otto Skorzeny was a leading force in running the SS
Brotherhood escape routes--Der Spinne, the Spider--after the war,
and SS General Karl Wolff was the lead negotiator with OSS Swiss
Chief, Allen Dulles, then another Nazi, Walter Rauff, head of the
Milan SD, was one of two liaisons with the Vatican involved in the
establishment of the Nazi-smuggling system. Earlier in his career,
Rauff had overseen the development of the Nazis' mobile gas vans,
known as "Black Ravens", which gassed to death around 100,000 Jews,
mostly women and children, by pumping exhaust fumes into the back of
an hermetically sealed van.
Another important link between the Vatican and SS escape routes
was Friedrich Schwendt, who was also the man in charge of laundering
forged SS banknotes. Before WWII, Schwendt was an international arms
dealer who shipped weapons to China and Russia. He was also the
investment manager of the family fortune of his first wife's aunt,
Baroness Gemmingen-Guttenberg, of the vastly wealthy Argentina-based
Bunge family, of the massive transnational firm Bunge Corporation
that is also known as "the Octopus".
This title is interesting, for it may connect to the so-called
"Octopus" that ties in to murdered freelance journalist Danny
Casolaro, who at the time of his death in 1991 was investigating a
number of high-level illegalities including the theft by the
Department of Justice of a "tracking" computer program known as "PROMIS".
Casolaro was writing a book about what he had discovered. He
originally titled it "Behold, A Pale Horse", but later modified it
to "The Octopus". In a draft page of the book, he described this
group as an "international cabal whose freelance services covered
parochial political intrigue, espionage, sophisticated weapon
technologies that included biotoxins, drug trafficking, money
laundering and murder-for-hire". Casolaro further stated that this
cabal was "spawned thirty years ago in the shadow of the Cold War".
After Casolaro's death, journalist Carol Marshall (a pen name)
followed up his investigation and wrote an (as yet) unpublished
manuscript, titled "The Last Circle". In this, Marshall describes
her investigation of Robert Booth Nichols--one of the central
figures of the Octopus, whom she describes as being part of a
secretive group known as "the Chosen Ones" and who wore "skull and
crossbones rings and shared a common interest, if you could call it
that, in the old German SS occultism, its tribal and inner circle
rites".
During her continuing investigation into the Octopus, Marshall
found that the SS occultism outlined above was connected to Lt. Col.
Michael A. Aquino, a former US Green Beret who is a self-professed
Satanist and who held a Top Secret security clearance for his work
in military intelligence and on classified psychological warfare
matters. Aquino officiated at SS black-magic ceremonies held at
Wewelsburg, the castle once used by SS chief Heinrich Himmler to
create an SS order of Teutonic knights based on the Knights Templars.
The foregoing connections lend themselves to a larger picture of
global, interlocking, right-wing fascist groupings that operate in
the shadowland of deniable military and intelligence operations
associated with profit during WWII and, later, throughout the Cold
War.
In this respect, it is intriguing to note that the Priory of Sion,
one of the foremost Catholic groups under discussion, uses as a
symbol something that is variously described as an octopus or a
spider (araign饩 on its documents. The Priory's association with the
octopus could easily relate to the so-called Octopus described
above, where organised crime works hand in glove with operatives
from US intelligence and the military. If one decides, on the other
hand, that the Priory symbol is a spider, there is the intriguing
notion of the Vatican-run Nazi escape lines of Austrian Catholic
Otto Skorzeny and his SS Brotherhood's Der Spinne (the Spider).
THE BUSINESS OF GOD
Al Carone was, as mentioned earlier, a "made" man of the Genovese
Mob in addition to his other associations. It is curious, therefore,
to note that one of the leading lights of the Octopus, according to
writer Carol Marshall, was ultra-right-wing oil tycoon Clint
Murchison, owner of the Dallas Cowboys football team. Murchison's
oil company, Murchison Oil Lease Company, was 20 per cent owned by
Gerardo Catena, the chief lieutenant of the Genovese crime family.
Throughout the Second World War and thereafter there was,
according to author Charles Higham in his book, Trading With The
Enemy, a "general agreement of certain major figures of American,
British and German commerce to continue their relations and
associations after Pearl Harbor". Higham adds that he also learned
that "certain figures of the warring governments had arranged to
assist in this [activity]". Higham's subsequent research proved that
this high cabal--which he dubbed "the Fraternity"--not only existed
but benefited handsomely throughout WWII. This led the author to
ask:
What would have happened if millions of Americans and British
people, struggling with coupons and lines at the gas stations, had
learned that in 1942 Standard Oil of New Jersey managers shipped the
enemy's fuel through neutral Switzerland and that the enemy was
shipping Allied fuel? Suppose the public had discovered that the
Chase Bank in Nazi-occupied Paris after Pearl Harbor was doing
millions of dollars' worth of business with the enemy with the full
knowledge of the head office in Manhattan? Or that Ford trucks were
being built for the German occupation troops in France with
authorisation from Dearborn, Michigan? Or that Colonel Sosthenes
Behn, the head of the international American telephone conglomerate
ITT, flew from New York to Madrid to Berne during the war to help
improve Hitler's communications systems and improve the robot bombs
that devastated London? Or that ITT built the Focke-Wulfs that
dropped bombs on British and American troops? Or that crucial
ball-bearings were shipped to Nazi-associated customers in Latin
America with the collusion of the Vice-Chairman of the US War
Production Board, in partnership with G?g's cousin in Philadelphia,
when American forces were desperately short of them? Or that such
arrangements were known about in Washington and either sanctioned or
deliberately ignored?
Higham's "Fraternity" has similar characteristics to the
so-called "Octopus", and also shows certain similarities to Colonel
Oliver North's "Enterprise". All have engaged in the most dubious
and illegal activities for profit, and all operate hand in glove
with organised crime. All lean so far to
More!
