Bilderberg
Bilderberg-ryhmä on epävirallinen vuotuinen konferenssi noin 130 vieraalle, joista useammat ovat talouselämän, median tai politiikan vaikuttajia. Se on saanut nimensä alankomaalaisen hotellin mukaan, jossa ryhmä kokoontui ensimmäisen kerran vuonna 1954.
Bilderberg-kokousten idean isänä pidetään Joseph Retingeriä. Ryhmän muita perustajajäseniä olivat Denis Healey, David Rockefeller ja Alankomaiden prinssi Bernhard. Prinssi Bernhard oli Bilderbergin puheenjohtajana lähes 20 vuotta. Nykyinen ykkösmies on merkittävän belgialaisen pankin hallituksen puheenjohtaja Etienne Davignon.
Ryhmällä on toimisto Leidenissa Alankomaissa. Ryhmän 42. kokous pidettiin vuonna 1994 Helsingissä, Suomessa.
Ryhmä on tarkoitettu vain pohjoisamerikkalaisille ja eurooppalaisille. Tapaamisissa käytyjen keskustelujen sisällöstä ei kerrota ulkopuolisille.
Ryhmän johtajisto laatii keskusteluohjelman ja lähettää kutsut. Tarkoituksena on, että 20 prosenttia konferenssin osanottajista olisi joka vuosi uusia.
Radiojuontaja Alex Jones mainostaa teoriaa, että ryhmä aikoo lakkauttaa Yhdysvaltojen ja muiden maiden itsemääräämisoikeuden Euroopan Unionin kaltaiseksi ylikansalliseksi rakenteeksi.
Venäjällä syntynyt kirjoittaja Daniel Estulin väittää Bilderbergin pitkän aikavälin päämääränä olevan "Yhden maailman imperiumin rakentaminen". Hän toteaa, että ryhmä "ei ole päämäärä vaan väline tulevaisuuden Maailmanhallitukselle".
According to the documents—which Estulin obtained from his sources inside the secretive group—issues to be discussed in this year's formal deliberations are:
1. Will the Euro Survive?
2. Development in Europe: Europe's Exit Strategy...On Hold?
3. Do We Have Institutions to Deal With the World Economy?
4. Greece: Lessons and Forward-looking Strategies
5. NATO and Afghanistan: The Practical Agenda for the Alliance
6. Iran and Russia: Economic and Financial Threats to the Alliance
7. The Consequences of War Against Terrorism
8. The Influence of Domestic Issues on American Foreign Policy
9.The Outlook for Japan's Economy
10. The Future of the U.S. Dollar: Alternative Scenarios
That the Bilderbergers—essentially a talking shop for European and North American power players—are interested in discussing the current meltdown of the European economy should come as no surprise, especially as the group's attendee list includes many of the key financiers and string pullers who helped steer Europe into the crisis in the first place. Past attendees of the meeting include current EU President Herman Van Rompuy who got the job as the first non-elected head of the undemocratic European Union after a special wine and dine session with Bilderberg steering committee members. Last year he heralded the beginning of global government, praising the increased role of G20 in dealing with the global financial crisis. Other key Bilderbergers include Jean-Claude Trichet, who, as head of the European Central Bank, was instrumental in helping to craft the current European bailout which itself is designed to incentivize the bankruptcy of Europe. Trichet, too, also recently called for global government to regulate the world economic meltdown that his fellow Bilderbergers helped to create.
Those familiar with the Bilderberg group's long-cherished dream of achieving global government through the creation of an international financial framework will be unsurprised to see that a debate on the question "Do We Have Institutions to Deal With the World Economy?" is the third order of business at this year's meeting. Nor will it be a surprise when the question is inevitably answered with the standard globalist line that international institutions like the IMF and the World Bank need to be "strengthened" and even given enhanced regulatory powers as a result of the crisis they have brought about, exactly as Bilderberg observers have been predicting for years. Indeed, as Estulin himself notes in his latest book, Shadow Masters, former U.S. Undersecretary of State George Ball expressed the ambition of the globalists in an address to the 1968 Bilderberg meeting in Mont Tremblant when he stated that they were interested in developing a "world company" to take over the "archaic political structure of nation states"
Other items on the agenda are exactly in line with the issues and plans made at last year's Bilderberg and those ideas debated at last year's G20 Finance Ministers meeting, both of which Estulin was able to infiltrate with his inside sources. The fact that the Iran-Russia alliance is on this year's agenda is doubly telling, not only because a strike against Iran was on the table at this year's Trilateral Commission meeting, but because, as Estulin notes in today's interview, it indicates that the real object of the Bilderbergers' aggression against Iran is the destabilization of Russia, a country that has traditionally been a thorn in the side of the globalists.
Perhaps the only thing that is surprising about this year's leaked agenda is that the secretive group, which has gone to great length to conceal itself from media and public scrutiny, has failed to take precautions to prevent Estulin and his sources from acquiring the information yet again. "I'm a little bit disappointed in the Bilderbergers," he said on the line from Spain, where he currently resides. "I would think they would have taken certain precautions and measures, especially coming to my part of the world."
While the agenda is only a guide for the larger group discussions and the real decision-making takes place among the core members of the group behind closed doors, it does serve as an indicator of the issues and events that are preoccupying the globalists at this sensitive stage of their operation, just as they begin to realize their dream of instituting global government by manufacturing a global depression. Even as these plans begin to come to fruition, the people of Iceland, Greece, and other developed countries are beginning to rise up en masse to throw off the yoke of financial oppression and key Bilderbergers are openly talking of their fears of a global political awakening.
This year's conference marks a new level of exposure and opposition to the Bilderberg group itself. Daniel Estulin will be making an historic speech to the European parliament on June 1st along with Mario Borghezio, Nigel Farage, and other key MEPs. Then Charlie Skelton, reporting once again for the UK's Guardian newspaper, will be taking part in a mass counter-conference where those opposed to the Bilderbergers and their secret proceedings will gather to draw attention to the group.
Stay tuned to corbettreport.com for all of the latest information on this year's conference, including an update from Estulin about what his sources are able to reveal about the meeting's proceedings. Coverage starts this Sunday with the release of Episode 131 of The Corbett Report podcast, "Bilderberg 2010."
