BILDERBERG MEETING AND WEBSTER TARPLEY
Although little insider information was extracted by Bilderberg watchers from last week’s annual meeting of globalist leaders and wannabees, the meeting at the Westfield Marriott Hotel near Washington DC generated large protests and a lot of well deserved negative publicity. Lyndon LaRouche disciple, Webster Tarpley, an anti-establishment historian often interviewed by Alex Jones and Jeff Rense, was also on hand to spread his opinions. I have always opposed conservative attention given to Tarpley because he’s never been on the side of individual liberty. His virulent attacks on Ron Paul and Austrian free market economics during recent interviews have quite openly exposed the real FDR worshiping socialist that Tarpley really is.
RT.com [Russia Today, which is not a trustworthy news outlet] gave a summary which set the stage for this controversy: “The items discussed during last week’s Bilderberg Conference might remain under lock and key, but some eyewitnesses on hand at the elusive meeting of the elite say they might know who was involved in the top-secret talks.
The Bilderberg Group has officially released what they say is the list of attendees invited to last week’s conference outside of Washington, D.C. in Chantilly, Virginia, but others insist that they caught one high-profile personality on hand that was excluded from the official roster. According to some sources, presidential hopeful Mitt Romney made it to this year’s event [pretty weak evidence].
Charlie Skelton, a contributor for the UK’s Guardian, claims that “four eyewitnesses on the hotel staff” have confirmed to him that former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney was on hand at the 2012 Bilderberg Conference.
Skelton says that, when reached for comment, Romney’s office would not confirm or deny the rumor but eventually insisted that their official stance is one that does not put Romney at last week’s meetings.
“Journalist Webster Tarpley adds to Skelton’s Guardian report that the elite politicians and bankers that make up a good chunk of the Bilderberg Group roster want a Romney administration to take Washington by storm [pure supposition on his part. See below] and suspects that the recent meeting might have had something to do with the secret society’s plans for the upcoming election [true insofar as the Vice Presidency is concerned].
“’They want Romney and Mitch Daniels, who will run together as moderate Rightists,” Tarpley tells the Guardian. Daniels, the Republican governor of Indiana, was listed on the official sheet of Bilderberg attendees. Investigative journalist, Jim Tucker adds in his own report that Governor Daniels was most likely picked to be Romney’s running mate during this year’s conference [the only part of Tarpley’s analysis that may come true].
My opinion on Tarpley: Webster Tarpley is not on the side of liberty. He is a socialist and former follower of Lyndon LaRouche who, in turn, has many links with the Socialist International (a communist front) along with his European communist wife. LaRouche wormed his way into the conservative political scene by putting out a lot of anti-Jane Fonda material and bashing the extreme environmental movement. But his agenda was not liberty—it was anti-capitalism.
Tarpley fits into the same mold. He’s a rabid anti-capitalist and his acknowledged hero is Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the New Deal. All his solutions are socialist. He’s been a regular contributor to the Alex Jones show because he is rather effective at slamming the New World Order and it’s globalist promoters—but NOT because he is against globalism if he or other “enlightened moderates” could run it. From his remarks, he detests the free market. He views rich capitalists as the real enemy, not government.
Professor Kevin Barret was shocked to hear these views as he interviewed Tarpley about the Bilderberg conference. If you can get past the rap music intro, Tarpley shows his true colors. Here’s the link with my analysis below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnI0Djr9dn4&feature=related
