BILDERBERG GROUP MEETING THIS WEEK

Now that veteran Bilderberg watcher Jim Tucker is dead, no one has been as good at penetrating the organization for clues about what they are up to. It’s rather ironic that none of the US papers will cover the Bilderberg conference—no surprise there, as we see below in the list of attendees, the Washington Post has always been one of the secret and silent conspirators to this globalist outfit. . The UK Guardian and Telegraph do cover it, but in a positive light.

This piece for the Guardian, was written by Guardian staff writer Charlie Skelton, an admitted “fan of Bilderberg since 2009.” I print his view only to demonstrate how Lenin’s “useful idiots” are still alive and well in society, promoting liberty’s destruction, while thinking things are quite wonderful in our global world.

On Thursday afternoon, a heady mix of politicians, bank bosses, billionaires, chief executives and European royalty will swoop up the elegant drive of the Grove hotel, north of Watford, to begin the annual Bilderberg conference.

It’s a remarkable spectacle – one of nature’s wonders [a description only a man in awe of globalist power could make]. The area round the hotel is in lockdown: locals are having to show their passports to get to their homes [totally illegal to require this]. It’s exciting too for the delegates. The CEO of Royal Dutch Shell will hop from his limo, delighted to be spending three solid days in policy talks with the head of HSBC, the president of Dow Chemical, his favorite European finance ministers and US intelligence chiefs. The conference is the highlight of every plutocrat’s year and has been since 1954. The only time Bilderberg skipped a year was 1976, after the group’s founding chairman, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, was caught taking bribes from Lockheed Martin.

It may seem odd, as our own lobbying scandal unfolds, amid calls for a statutory register of lobbyists, that a bunch of our senior politicians will be holed up for three days in luxurious privacy with the chairmen and CEOs of hedge funds, tech corporations and vast multinational holding companies, with zero press oversight.

Of course, being a fan, he isn’t bothered—only wonders.

“It runs contrary to [George] Osborne’s public commitment in 2010 to ‘the most radical transparency agenda the country has ever seen’,” says Michael Meacher MP. Meacher describes the conference as “an anti-democratic cabal of the leaders of western market capitalism meeting in private to maintain their own power and influence outside the reach of public scrutiny”.

[One would hope the following is said tongue in cheek but I doubt it.] But, to be fair, is “public scrutiny” really necessary when our politicians are tucked safely away with so many responsible members of JP Morgan’s international advisory board? There’s always the group chief executive of BP on hand to make sure they do not get unduly lobbied. And if he is not in the room, keeping an eye out, then at least one of the chairmen of Novartis, Zurich Insurance, Fiat or Goldman Sachs International will be around.

This year, there will be a great deal more “public scrutiny” of Bilderberg. Pressure from journalists and activists has won concessions from the venue: for the first time in 59 years there will be an unofficial press office, staffed by volunteers, on the grounds. Several thousand activists and bloggers are expected, along with photographers and journalists from around the world.

But this is a charade, done to give the appearance of openness without any access at all close up. As Paul Joseph Watson of Infowars.com wrote,

[Charlie Skelton’s full London Guardian article can be read here – editor]

Skelton continues by at least noting the prior hostile manner in which uninvited journalists and protestors were handled:

Back in 2009 there were barely a dozen witnesses – harassed and arrested by heavy-handed Greek police.

And then, the issue of money. In prior years, taxpayers have picked up the outrageous tab for these outings. Now, Bilderberg has put on the veil of a charity deception, per The Guardian.

If you’ve been wondering who picks up the tab […]

And guess who is paying for these tax deductible contributions to this global conspiracy of power?

Fortunately, the charity receives regular five-figure sums from two kindly supporters of its benevolent [?] aims: Goldman Sachs and BP. The most recent documentary proof of this is from 2008, since then the charity has omitted its donors’ names from its accounts.

The charity’s goal is “public education“. And how does it go about educating the public? “In furtherance of these objectives the International Steering Committee organizes conferences and meetings in the UK and elsewhere and disseminates the results thereof by preparing and publishing reports of such conferences and meetings and by other means.” Cleverly, it disseminates the results by resolutely keeping them away from the public and press.

Even George Orwell (author of 1984) couldn’t have conceived of such an audacious lie—which is only possible with the collusion of the courts, who allow them to get away with anything.

Google-Berg? An Aspect of this growing collusion between globalists and business leaders was revealed in a recent article by Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones at Infowars.com. It involves the participation of Google’s executive chairman (and CEO of Google until 2011), Eric Schmidt, at Bilderberg and the appearance that he is linking his annual international Tech conference to the annual Bilderberg meeting so that Bilderberg can more easily integrate its influence with Google’s.

Put simply, Bilderberg is merging with Google under the stewardship of Google CEO Eric Schmidt, a regular Bilderberg attendee. Google’s annual Zeitgeist conference […]

There is something to this, given Schmidt’s Bilderberg background, but the Zeitgeist Conference is never going to be behind closed doors like Bilderberg. Its speeches and talks are published openly and the press is allowed. I suspect, however, that the closeness this year of both conferences is done to help more Tech leaders feel honored by being allowed into the presence of the globalists in order to lure more high tech CEOs into the globalist conspiracy.

But there is no doubt that Alex Jones is right about Google becoming the leader in the globalist’s goal of linking and controlling the internet. Google is a part of that all-surveillance society being constructed by the globalists, and it harkens back to the fact that a big chunk of Google’s seed money came from the CIA. Here’s other evidence that is surfacing, according to the American Free Press:

The top-secret US National Security Agency is not required to reveal any deal it may have with Google to help protect against cyber attacks, an appeals court ruled Friday. The US Court of Appeals in Washington upheld a lower court decision that said the NSA need not confirm or deny any relationship with Google.

Ostensibly, this case grew out of Chinese spying on Gmail accounts, so it is possible that the secrecy order was aimed at protecting China from embarrassment, which is a globalist policy. Google went along. Jason Ditz of Antiwar.com also found out that Google privately backs the intrusive bill that gives government power to control the internet under the pretext of protect us from copyright infringement (CISPA).

After Google played a central role rallying the public against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), the House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Mike Rogers (R – MI) claims that Google is secretly supporting the bill many are calling “SOPA 2.”

“They’ve been helpful and supportive of trying to find the right language in the bill,” Rogers said of Google, which declined to comment on the new bill called the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA). The bill aims primarily at the sharing of private information, empowering the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to collect data from private companies on anything they decide is a “cyber threat.”

If Google wants to claim it is against government intrusion, their recent fight with the FBI over warrantless demands for customer data could be used. According to the AP

A federal judge has ruled that Google Inc. must comply with the FBI’s warrantless demands for customer data, rejecting the company’s argument that the government’s practice of issuing so-called national security letters to telecommunication companies, Internet service providers, banks and others was unconstitutional and unnecessary.

But it could also be that this “fight” was feigned with the courts (who are shills for government) to give Google the appearance of being “forced” to comply with something they have been doing for years. It’s no secret that Google records everything, even though Schmidt recently claimed on an interview that it erases everyone’s data when older than 18 months. No proof was offered, however, that that is being done, and I very much doubt it is.

In short, the leaders behind Bilderberg surely would like other tech leaders to voluntarily come their way. As I have said in years past, Bilderberg is a kind of leadership training conference for globalists. They don’t make globalist policies there (those are done in other meetings prior to Bilderberg) but they sell those policies there, and test the receptivity of new and up-and-coming leaders and politicians that are invited to attend.

The Bilderberg’s publish a list of attendees, but there are many others that attend in secret and don’t want their name associated with it—politicians in particular. Still, the list is telling. Notice the depth of power brokers involved in this list of the prominent people attending this year. They come from major universities, the media, big business, and government service. The list is very long and not all of them are prominent in outward leadership, so I don’t cover them all. Some of the lesser known are being cultivated for future high elected office. I list the prominent ones that are already influencing governments, education, business or policy on behalf of globalism:

However, the most important thing is to track how other members of the globalist conspiracy, who don’t necessarily attend Bilderberg control government policy. Members of the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is where the real policy control lies. The August Forecast and Review provided this view of the Obama administration:

Trilateral Commission Continues to Dominate Obama: The position of National Security Adviser acts like a gate keeper to the President [informally, he or she is referred to as the President’s handler—especially on foreign policy. The only exception is when George W. Bush was president. Dick Cheney, his VP, was his handler]. This fact has never been lost on the Trilateral Commission, where Zbigniew Brzezinski was National Security Adviser to President Jimmy Carter in 1976. Brzezinski choreographed Carter‘s every move, even bragging about it years later.

When it comes to national security issues (overseas and domestic), nothing reaches the President’s eyes or ears without being filtered and screened by his Adviser. You can imagine possibility for manipulation if the NSA has a secret agenda to use the President in order to promote goals favorable to the membership of a private organization.

When Obama first took office, he appointed 12 percent of the U.S. Trilateral Commission membership to top posts. Three of these posts related to national security:

National Security Adviser, Gen. James L. Jones

Deputy National Security Adviser, Thomas Donilon [now, the current NS Advisor]

Director of National Intelligence, Admiral Dennis C. Blair

When Jones stepped down in October 2010, Trilateral Thomas Donilon was promoted to National Security Adviser, where he has served until he announced his resignation today.

Alas, that is not the end of Trilateral Commission hegemony over Obama. His new appointee? None other than Susan Rice, also a member of the Trilateral Commission. […]

The old guard Trilaterals such as Zbigniew Brzezinski, David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger, are certainly gloating over the unrestrained ignorance of the American public. After all, Trilaterals have dominated and controlled every president since Jimmy Carter in 1976. Walter Mondale, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Dick Cheney were all members, and loaded their respective high-level positions with other Trilaterals. [all other earlier presidents going back as far as Woodrow Wilson were controlled by one or more handlers as detailed in prior briefs, even though the National Security Advisor position was not in existence]. […]

The globalists certainly know how to use every angle to keep their works of darkness a secret. [END]
