Italy hosts 50th-anniversary confab of mysterious society of world leaders

World Net Daily | June 4 2004

The 50th anniversary conference of the elite Bilderberg group – which many believe conspires semi-annually to foster global government – is under way in Stresa, Italy.

The conference, which began yesterday and will run through Sunday, is being hosted at the Grand Hotel des Iles Borromees.

Since 1953, the Bilderberg group has convened government, business, academic and journalistic representatives from the U.S., Canada and Europe with the express purpose of exploring the future of the North Atlantic community.

According to sources that have penetrated the high-security meetings in the past, the Bilderberg meetings emphasize a globalist agenda and promote the idea that the notion of national sovereignty is antiquated and regressive.

'Shadowy aura'

"It's officially described as a private gathering," noted a BBC report last year, "but with a guest list including the heads of European and American corporations, political leaders and a few intellectuals, it's one of the most influential organizations on the planet."

And according to a current BBC report on the conference in Stresa: "Not a word of what is said at Bilderberg meetings can be breathed outside. No reporters are invited in and while confidential minutes of meetings are taken, names are not noted. The shadowy aura extends further – the anonymous answerphone message, for example; the fact that conference venues are kept secret. The group, which includes luminaries such as Henry Kissinger and former UK chancellor Kenneth Clarke, does not even have a website."

But, counter participants, the secrecy is not evidence of a grand conspiracy, but only an opportunity to speak frankly with other world leaders out of the limelight of press coverage and its inevitable repercussions.

"There's absolutely nothing in it," argues the UK's Lord Denis Healey, one of the four founders of Bilderberg. "We never sought to reach a consensus on the big issues at Bilderberg," he told the BBC. "It's simply a place for discussion."

Here is the partial guest list of the current meeting obtained by WorldNetDaily – which includes Senators Jon Edwards, D-N.C. and Jon Corzine, D-N.J., Henry Kissinger, Richard Perle, Melinda Gates (wife of Bill Gates), David Rockefeller, Timothy F. Geithner, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Donald Graham, chairman and CEO of the Washington Post Company, and even Ralph Reed, former head of the Christian Coalition:

1. Like I've said in other posts....

different faces of the same coin... Elect whom you want...they still
win. Enjoy your "democracy".

[I thought so.]

2. Gosh!

How can it be super-secret if we know who all is there?

[RBHam]

3. No reporters allowed inside

No transcript or record of whats discussed

[I thought so.]

13. I bet its a private meeting.

Private meetings happen every day. Where I work we never have reporters or transcripts at our meetings. Maybe that explains it.

4. What a group!

I just read the guest list! It's hard to imagine a group like this being in ine room at the same time! I can imagine it looking like the old high school sock hops with "one group on one side of the room and the remainder on the other side", both talking about one another but nobody will interact!

5. Wow! Reliable sources!

Prison Planet and World Nuts Daily are both reporting this? That's how you spell R-E-L-I-A-B-L-E!

[RBHam]

6. Using BBC sources.

Are you saying the BBC isn't credible?

[oldhat]

8. No, I'm saying the CIA controls sends radio signals to my fillings.

I'm also saying Prison Planet is slapdash piece of shit that extracts quotes from real news to give their garbage an aura of legitimacy.

7. Who controls the British crown?

Who keeps the metric system down?
We do! We do!

Who leaves Atlantis off the maps?
Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
We do! We do!

Who holds back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Gutenberg a star?
We do! We do!

Who robs cavefish of their sight?
Who rigs every Oscar night?
We do! We do!

I've heard it said that most people have no problem believing that their economic 'lessers' would conspire against them, but those same people would never believe that their economic 'betters' would engage in the same practices. Think about that...and then think about why they think that...

9. Ralph Reed and Richard Perle

Satan should be proud.

[loudsue]

10. John Edwards.....could've guessed.

This man is a social-climbing, pretty-faced corporatist wannabe. People who swoon all over themselves over Edwards don't know how dangerous this man is. I worked on his campaign for Senate. The man will continue to force his evil self into world power structures every way he can.

All that "populist" bullshit he was coming up with in the primaries IS NOT who he is.

I hope to God Kerry has enough sense NOT to have him as his VP running mate.

11. I wince when I see "Bilderbergers."

I think that one has to be careful about conspiracism. The key is the agenda of the elites, not the vehicles by which they formulate them. The rightists of the Liberty Lobby were positively obsessed with this group. It's really just an intersection of various elites: CFR, Trilateral, CSIS, big bankers and so forth.

12. Bill Clinton also attended the Bilderberg in past years., if I recall

wWith all of those influential people there, it would be ill advised not to attend.

15. "keep your friends close...and your enemies even closer." ...as they say?

14. Bilderberg and the Commies are trying to steal my precious bodily fluids.

That's why I only drink rain water and pure grain alcohol...
