Bilderberg's Plans for the World
The Bilderberg group's secret annual meeting determines many of the headlines
and news developments that you will read about in the coming months. But the
Establishment media completely black out any news of it and remain strangely
reluctant to lift the curtain hiding this major event. A number of high-ranking
members of the press who attend the annual meeting are sworn to secrecy, and
news editors are held responsible if any of their journalists "inadvertently"
report on what takes place. Yet few have ever heard of this exclusive and
secretive group of the world's most powerful financiers, industrialists and
political figures.
Although the Bilderberg group has lost some of its past lustre, on 5 to 8 May
2005 it met at Rottach-Egern (in Munich, Germany) under its usual secrecy that
makes a freemasonry lodge look like a playgroup. Staff at the hotel were
photographed and put through special clearance. From porters to senior
managers, the employees were warned (under the threat of never working in their
country again) about the consequences of revealing any details of the guests to
the press.
The discussions that the Bilderbergers engaged in this year and the consensus
they reached?deciding how the world should deal with European?American
relations, the Middle East powder keg, the Iraq war, the global economy and how
to stave off war in Iran?will influence the course of Western civilisation and
the future of the entire planet. Ironically, they met behind closed doors,
protected by a phalanx of armed guards.
After three straight years of open hostility and tension amongst the European,
British and American Bilderbergers, caused by the war in Iraq, the aura of
complete congeniality amongst them has returned. Bilderbergers have reaffirmed
and remain united in their long-term goal to strengthen the role the United
Nations plays in regulating global conflicts and relations.
However, it is important to understand that the Americans are no more the
"Hawks" than the European Bilderbergers are the "Doves". Europeans joined in
supporting the 1991 invasion of Iraq by US President George Bush Senior,
celebrating (in the words of notable Bilderberg hunter Jim Tucker) the end of
"America's Vietnam syndrome". Europeans also supported former US President Bill
Clinton's invasion of Yugoslavia, bringing NATO into the operation.
UN Global Oil Tax and Peacebuilding Proposals
A much discussed subject in 2005 at Rottach-Egern was the concept of imposing a
UN tax on people worldwide through a direct tax on oil at the well-head. This,
in fact, sets a precedent. If enacted, it would be the first time that a
non-governmental agency (read the United Nations) directly benefited from a tax
on citizens of free and enslaved nations. The Bilderberg proposal calls for a
tiny UN levy at the outset, which the consumer would hardly notice.
Jim Tucker, formerly of the court-killed Spotlight magazine, wrote in the
American Free Press (14?21 June 2004) that: "...establishing the principle that
the UN can directly tax citizens of the world is important to Bilderberg. It is
another giant step toward world government. Bilderbergers know that publicly
promoting a UN tax on all people on Earth would meet with outrage. But they are
patient; it [Bilderberg] first proposed a direct world tax years ago and
celebrates the fact that it is now in the public dialogue with little public
attention or concern."
Bilderberg wants "tax harmonisation" so that high-tax countries can compete
with more tax-friendly nations?including the United States?for foreign
investment. They would "harmonise" taxes by forcing the rate in the US and
other countries to rise so that socialist Sweden's 58-per-cent level would be
"competitive".
According to sources, an unidentified guest at the conference asked how global
taxation can be sold to the American public. One European Union commissioner
suggested using as the battering ram the rhetoric of helping countries build
peaceful, stable societies once conflict subsides. Someone asked for the timing
of the appeal. A former commissioner mentioned that the best time to ask for
cash is once the conflict subsides and the world is subjected to brutal images
of destruction. A Norwegian Bilderberger disagreed. What looked to be Bj?rn T.
Grydeland, Norway's ambassador to the European Union, said that, on the
contrary, it's much easier to get world attention and money for a region when a
conflict rages.
This was confirmed a posteriori when Denmark's foreign minister Per Stig
Moller, during a debate in the United Nations on 26 May, stated on the record
that "[i]f the international community is not able to act swiftly, the fragile
peace is at risk, with loss of more lives as a consequence". Denmark holds the
EU presidency until 1 July 2005, when it will be replaced by the UK. [The
changeover took place just before we went to press. Ed.]
Bilderbergers are planning to use what they nominated as a UN Peacebuilding
Commission, apparently to help win the peace in post-conflict countries, as one
of the tools in secretly imposing the UN tax on an unsuspecting world
population.
Jim Tucker said as much in his Bilderberg report in the American Free Press (23
May) when he wrote: "There was some informal discussion of timing for a vote in
the United Nations on establishing a direct global tax by imposing a
10-cents-a-barrel levy on oil at the well-head. This is important to the
Bilderberg goal of establishing the UN as a formal world government. Such a
direct tax on individuals is symbolically important. Bilderberg's global tax
proposal has been pending before the UN for three years but the issue has been
blacked out by the Bilderberg-controlled US media."
Mark R. Warner, governor of Virginia and a first-time Bilderberg invitee,
expressed concern about how much additional financial responsibility the United
States would take on as a result. At this point, Jos? M. Dur?o Barroso,
president of the European Commission, expressed a view held by many within
Bilderberg that the United States does not provide a fair share of economic aid
to poor countries. My sources confirm Jim Tucker's report that "Kissinger and
David Rockefeller, among other Americans, beamed and nodded approval".
Although the US pays more into the foreign-aid piggy bank than any country in
the world, the Bilderbergers and the United Nations are poised to demand much
more funding from it to meet the Peacebuilding proposal.
NGOs and the Global Neighbourhood
The rise of the NGOs (non-governmental organisations) is a development that
former US President Clinton suddenly (one day after it was discussed at
Rottach-Egern) suggested to be among "the most remarkable things that have
happened since the fall of the Berlin Wall". Ironically, Clinton's statement
was picked up by the Wall Street Journal, a paper represented at the Bilderberg
meetings by its vice-president, Robert L. Bartley, until his death in December
2003, and its editorial page editor, Paul Gigot.
The Bilderbergers have been vigorously debating, for the first time, whether to
have unelected, self-appointed environmental activists given positions of
governmental authority on the governing board of the United Nations Environment
Program (UNEP)?the agency which controls the use of the atmosphere, outer
space, the oceans and, for all practical purposes, biodiversity. This
invitation for "civil society" to participate in global governance is described
as "expanding democracy".
According to sources within Bilderberg, the status of NGOs would be elevated
even further in the future. NGO activity would include agitating at the local
level, lobbying at the national level and producing studies to justify global
taxation through UN organisations such as Global Plan, one of Bilderberg's pet
projects for over a decade.
The strategy to advance the global governance agenda specifically includes
programs to discredit individuals and organisations that generate "internal
political pressure" or "populist action" that fails to support the new global
ethic. The ultimate objective, according to sources, is to suppress democracy.
If the plan proceeds, UNEP, along with all the environmental treaties under its
jurisdiction, would ultimately be governed by a special body of environmental
activists, chosen only from accredited NGOs appointed by delegates to the
General Assembly who are themselves appointed by the President of the United
States, who himself is controlled by the Rockefeller?Council on Foreign
Relations (CFR)?Bilderberg interlocking leadership.
This new mechanism would provide a direct route from the local,
"on-the-ground", NGO affiliates of national and international NGOs to the
highest levels of global governance. For example, the Greater Yellowstone
Coalition, a group of affiliated NGOs, recently petitioned the World Heritage
Committee of UNESCO asking for intervention in the plans of a private company
to mine gold on private land near Yellowstone Park. The UNESCO committee did
intervene, and immediately listed Yellowstone as a "World Heritage Site in
Danger". Under the terms of the World Heritage Convention, the United States is
required to protect the park, even beyond the borders of the park and onto
private lands if necessary.
The ideas being discussed, if implemented, would bring all the people of the
world into a global neighbourhood, managed by a worldwide bureaucracy under the
direct authority of a minute handful of appointed individuals and policed by
thousands of individuals, paid by accredited NGOs, and all certified to support
a belief system that to many people is unbelievable and unacceptable.
A Lesson for Tony Blair
Bilderbergers are celebrating the result they wanted: the return of a much
humbled Tony Blair to 10 Downing Street, with a much reduced parliamentary
majority.
European Bilderbergers are still angry at him for supporting America's war in
Iraq. While teaching Blair a useful lesson in international politics,
Bilderbergers feel he is a far safer candidate to continue on the path of
European integration than his conservative rival, Michael Howard.

The EU Referendum in France
The first day of secret meetings at Bilderberg 2005 was dominated by talk of
the European Union referendum in France and whether President Chirac could
persuade France to vote "Yes" on 29 May. A "Yes" vote, according to sources
within Bilderberg, would put a lot of pressure on Tony Blair to finally deliver
Britain into the waiting arms of the New World Order through its own referendum
on the treaty, scheduled for 2006. Matthias Nass, Deputy Editor of Die Zeit,
wondered out loud that a "No" vote in France could undoubtedly cause political
turmoil in Europe and overshadow Britain's six-month EU presidency starting on
1 July.
Bilderbergers hope that Blair and Chirac, whose at times open animosity has
spilled into the public arena on more than one occasion, can work together for
mutual benefit and political survival. Another European Bilderberger added that
both leaders must put behind them as quickly as possible all past disputes on
such topics as Iraq, the liberalisation of Europe's economy and the future of
the budget rebate that Britain receives from the EU, and work towards complete
European integration?which could disintegrate if France's often "hard-headed
and obstinate people", in the words of a British Bilderberger, do not do the
right thing, meaning give up voluntarily their independence for the "greater
good" of a European federal super-state!
A German Bilderberger insider said that France's "Yes" vote is in trouble
because of the "outsourcing of jobs". "Jobs in Germany and France are going to
Asia and Latvia [to take advantage of cheap labour]." Latvia is one of the
former Soviet republics that have been admitted to the European Union, bringing
the total membership to 25 nations. A German politician wondered out loud how
Tony Blair will go about convincing Britons to embrace the European
Constitution when, due to the outsourcing of jobs, both Germany and France are
suffering 10 per cent unemployment while Britain is doing well economically.
The Neo-conservative Lobby
In full force was that faction: the so-called "neo-conservatives", who have
determined that Israel's security should come at the expense of the safety of
the United States and be central to all US foreign policy decisions.
Most notable among them is Richard N. Perle, who was investigated by the FBI
for conducting espionage on behalf of Israel. Perle played a critical role in
pushing the United States into the war against Iraq. On 27 March 2003, he was
forced to resign from the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board after it was learned
he'd been advising Goldman Sachs International, an habitual Bilderberg
attendee, on how it might profit from the war in Iraq.
Another neo-conservative figure on hand was Michael A. Ledeen, an
"intellectual's intellectual". Ledeen serves for the American Enterprise
Institute (AEI), a think-tank founded in 1943 and with which Richard Perle has
long been associated. AEI and the Brookings Institution operate a Joint Center
for Regulatory Studies (JCRS), the purpose being to hold lawmakers and
regulators "accountable for their decisions by providing thoughtful, objective
analyses of existing regulatory programs and new regulatory proposals". The
JCRS pushes for cost-benefit analysis of regulations, which fits with AEI's
(and the Bilderbergers') ultimate goal of deregulation.
These neo-conservatives were also joined this year at Bilderberg by a handful
of other former top Washington policymakers and publicists known for their
sympathies for Israel, including: Richard N. Haass, former State Department
official and president of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR); Richard
Holbrooke, former assistant secretary of state and "father" of the Dayton
Accord; Dennis Ross, of the pro-Israel Washington Institute for Near East
Policy, effectively an offshoot of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee
(AIPAC) and the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA); and
Paul Wolfowitz, the newly elected World Bank president.
American Criminals: Public Policy in Private
In the United States, the Logan Act states explicitly that it is against the
law for federal officials to attend secret meetings with private citizens to
develop public policies.
Although Bilderberg 2005 was missing one of its luminaries?US State Department
official John Bolton, who was testifying before the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations?the US Government was well represented in Rottach-Egern by: Allan E.
Hubbard, Assistant to the President for Economic Policy and director of the
National Economic Council; William Luti, Deputy Under-Secretary of Defense;
James Wolfensohn, outgoing president of the World Bank; and Paul Wolfowitz,
Deputy Secretary of State, an ideologue of the Iraq war and incoming president
of the World Bank. By attending the Bilderberg 2005 meeting, these people broke
United States federal law.
Journalistic Whores
Bilderberg, at one time or another, has had representatives of all major US and
European newspapers and network news outlets attend. High-ranking membes of the
inadequately named "international free press" attend on their solemn promise to
report nothing. This is how Bilderberg keeps its news blackout virtually
complete in the United States and Europe.
This year's invitees included: Nicolas Beytout, editor-in-chief of Le Figaro;
Oscar Bronner, publisher and editor of Der Standard; Donald Graham, chairman of
the Washington Post; Matthias Nass, deputy editor of Die Zeit; Norman
Pearlstine, editor-in-chief of Time; J. Robert S. Prichard, president and CEO
of Torstar Media Group (Toronto Star); C?neyt Ulsevere, columnist for H?rriyet;
John Vinocur, senior correspondent for the International Herald Tribune; Martin
Wolf, associate editor of the Financial Times; Fareed Zakaria, editor of
Newsweek International; Klaus Zumwinkel, chairman of Deutsche Post; and John
Micklethwait, US editor of The Economist and Adrian Wooldridge, Washington
correspondent for The Economist. Micklethwait and Wooldridge acted as the
meeting's rapporteurs.
