@ The Bilderberg Group <http://www.bilderberg.org/> is an organisation of
120 businessmen & politicians which meets once per year to obtain a global
consensus on the issues of the day and the future of the world. This year
they meet somewhere in Switzerland. The group was founded 44 years ago by
the Nazi sympathiser, King Bernhard of the Netherlands, with the express
vision of a single global government. That much is real. Any connection to

"A skeptical anthropologist was cataloging South American folk remedies
with the assistance of a tribal brujo who indicated that the leaves of a
particular fern were a sure cure for any case of constipation. When the
anthropologist expressed his doubts, the brujo looked him in the eye and
said, 'Let me tell you, with fronds like these, who needs enemas?'"

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soap-boxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
