The who’s who of Nazis (no really). The surprise or unlisted attendees are who I am interested in seeing. Fun topics will be discussed like who dies, who lives, further poisoning of the food chain………eliminating population is their main goal. War and misery is their pleasure, a real nice bunch of assholes.
Where’s a good terrorist when you need one? Oh yeah, they are letting them go simply because they are already a partner in destruction.
I wouldn’t put a lot of stock into this aimless annual meeting of internationalists. You can trace the roots of this bunch of preening peacocks back to the founding of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace just prior to WWI, which reflected Andrew Carnegie’s dream world to look for avenues to end all wars.
This shit is nothing but a private meeting reflecting an attitude and goals similar to the League of Nations and the United Nations, both of which have worked really well. Heh.
Look at it this way. Bilderbergers, meet Vladimir Putin.
SSS- Yet again you could not find your ass with both hands a map and a guide dog.
Spooky needs to have his meds adjusted.
From an article on the 2013 Bilderberger conference. It’s quite obvious this group wields considerable influence in world affairs with regard to policy and people:
“The Bilderberg was founded in 1954 to bring the leaders of Western Europe and the United States closer as the Soviet Union cemented its control of the Eastern bloc. They met first at the Bilderberg Hotel, near Arnhem, at the instigation of Joseph Retinger, a Polish polio victim who had fought the Nazis during the war. Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands was the chair. In that first meeting, the participants – including bankers, economists, and the future Labour leader Hugh Gaitskell – debated the Communist threat and the prospect of European integration.
Publicly, the group says it is still merely a debating society – a forum for leaders to “listen, reflect and gather insights” unbound by official policy positions.
But while they rankle at the conspiracy theorists, former leaders of the Bilderberg confences says they were the most important events they ever went to, and the freedom of speaking away from the ears of Whitehall officials meant the discussions that took place decisively shaped modern Europe.
…
” Emanuele Ottolenghi, an expert in Iran at the Washington think thank Foundation for the Defense of Democracies who will sit next to Osborne at dinner, politely emails: “The conference is off the record. I will, therefore, be unable to comment on it, before or after.”
I asked if he will make a case for the defence of off-the-record meetings. They are far from unique to the Bilderberg. He replies with a link to an old Daniel Pipes essay on the rise of conspiracy theories, which argues they have flourished in the States amongst the politically disaffected, the hard Right and, controversially, the black community. “I sympathise with your point of view, and can recommend this as a frame of reference,” he says.
And the conspiracy theoretician-in-chief is Daniel Estulin, a 46-year-old Lithuanian and the author of the best-selling The True Story of the Bilderberg Group. Fidel Castro, the former Cuban leader, is a fan. It argues the group’s founders were former Nazis, and it now gathers to choose presidents and control the media.
“Bilderberg is not a conspiracy theory. It’s a conspiracy reality,” he writes from Moscow, where he is filming his weekly show for Russia Today, the Kremlin-backed broadcaster. “It was a vehicle through which private financier oligarchical interests were able to impose their policies on nominally sovereign governments. The idea is the creation of a global network of cartels, more powerful than any nation on Earth, destined to control the necessities of life of the rest of humanity.”
A major victory, he tells me, was engineering the 1973 oil price shock to prop up the dollar and make Wall Street rich. He sends me long lens photographs he took of de Castries and Richard Holbrooke, the US diplomat, relaxing in chinos and linen jackets at a gathering in Italy. He’s unsure what they were up to.
But high on the agenda in Watford will be Eric Schmidt and Google, his sources say. “It is an integral part of the United States security apparatus. Your information is processed, analysed and stored for later use,” he adds. He adds: “Limitless anything spells c-o-n-t-r-o-l.”
He asks for a copy of the guest list. I direct him to a newspaper story, taken from a press release on the Bilderberg’s official website.
“Lots of the stuff written about it is a load of crap,” says Lord Healey of Riddleden, who served as Chancellor to Harold Wilson and James Callaghan. He would know. He attended the first Bilderberg meeting in 1954 and sat on the steering committee for forty years.
“Those who weren’t invited were very jealous. Some people described it as a secret Communist organisation. Others said it was a secret American organisation. But it was balls.”
For much of the post-War era Healey helped set the agenda and chose the delegates. He is proud of their record in spotting future leaders. Bill Clinton and Tony Blair were invited early in their careers. “The steering committee, because of their wide range of backgrounds, made some very good choices,” he says.

That is quite the list….nobody let Madame Defarge see it….
I’m sure Lucifer was busy.
What’s up with all the thumbs-down to my comment?
I know a lot of people love conspiracy theories, and I also know that the Bilderberg group enjoys quite a few conspiracy accusations from both the political left and right as to their so-called secret intentions. It’s nothing but a collection of pie-in-the-sky “Can’t we all just along?” dimwits who think they’re smarter than everyone else. These fucking idiots think they can trump nationalism.
Then along comes the ultra-nationalist like Putin who sticks his finger in their eyes and says “Fuck you” and constantly ruins their plans and vision for the globalization of paths to peace. Putin could give a shit less what the Bilderbergers think, even if one of the “members” should manage to gain some time with him. He’s going to do what he thinks is best for the Motherland. Period.
And whenever Putin’s body starts to approach room temperature, someone out there will replace him, and the frustration of the Bilderbergers will continue. Book it, Dano.
Not a Rothschild in sight.
