Bilderberg Strikes Again

THE ROVING EYE
Bilderberg strikes again
By Pepe Escobar

"It would have been quite impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries ..."
- David Rockefeller, Bilderberg club permanent member, 1991

This conversation never happened. Well, it actually did. Date: March 5 to 8, 2005. Location: the isolated, fully-booked Dorint Sofitel Seehotel Ueberfahrt in Rottach-Egern, 60 kilometers east of Munich, Germany. Essential amenities: luxury rooms, a lake, a golf course, no suits - and no wives. Participants: 120-odd Western movers and shakers - politicians, tycoons, bankers, captains of industry, so-called strategic thinkers - invited for the 2005 meeting of the ultra-secretive Bilderberg club. Security: absolutely draconian. Global media coverage: non-existent.

Talk about white man's burden: Bilderberg is strictly "Western" elite, ie American-European. Bilderberg resolutely excludes Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa. Bilderberg operates in strictly master of the universe territory: what we say goes. Only when events happen will corporate media report them, even though selected media people would have been aware of what has been decided weeks or even months in advance. The New York Times, the Big Three American networks, the Financial Times have all been represented at many Bilderbergs. But they are constrained by the silence of the lambs (see Asia Times Online's report on Bilderberg 2003 in Versailles The masters of the universe May 22, 2003)

2. So the outline for the Summer and Autumn have been set
You can get a lot more work done in a luxury 5 star hotel room with no press and make some deals the old fashioned way.

4. I agree
Every time I feel like there is momentum building for the causes I believe in shit like this pops up and makes me wonder what the f-ing point is. If these guys are really this powerful does it matter if we bring a progressive agenda to fruition here? Are we only waiting to create some modicum of succesful social policy only to have these idiots order another American coup to fuck it all up?

And look at the national members, because the major companies are there, the major banks, the major newspapers and unknowns like Paul Wolfowitz.
