Does the Bilderberg Group Rule the World?

May 21, 2010 Christopher Woodward

From creating the EU to attacking Iraq, discover how the Bilderberg Group has shaped our world to this day. Are they now planning for one world government?
From June 3 - 6, 2010, around 130 of the world’s most powerful people including heads of state, royalty, international bankers and senior businessmen will meet together in Sitges, Spain for the annual Bilderberg Group conference. The Bilderberg Group meets in secret for off the record discussions on world issues under the Chatham House Rule, whereby participants are not allowed to disclose what was said, and representatives from the media who are invited are sworn to secrecy. Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands founded the group with their first meeting in 1954.
Well known Bilderberg attendees in recent years include David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of Treasury Timothy Geithner, former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker. Bilderbergers in the UK include former Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, David Miliband, Ed Balls and Chancellor George Osborne.
Despite its secrecy, several independent journalists such as Jim Tucker and Daniel Estulin have managed to report on Bilderberg’s activites. Through inside sources such as attendees assistants and hotel staff, they have been able to obtain details of what was said during meetings, and underscore the aims and agenda of Bilderberg, and have even predicted the 2008 economic downturn from knowing what was discussed at Bilderberg meetings.

An Agenda for One World Government?

When asked about Bilderberg, the group's chairman, Etienne Davignon said in an interview "I simply think it's people who have influence interested to speak to other people who have influence in a forum that allows them to speak freely and to examine their differences of opinion without criticism and public debate over their views."
However, researchers such as Daniel Estulin, author of The True Story of the Bilderberg Group, argue that the group’s real agenda is more sinister, that of a one world government, controlled by an elite group. Estulin in his book lists out more specific aims towards that end:

Empowering international institutions, to create an international identity.
Zero-economic growth across the world, with a redistribution of wealth and labour.
Manufacturing crisis after crisis so that the people will become apathetic and easily controlled.
Creating international trading blocks, such as the EU and a North American Union
Expanding powers of the UN, including the creation of global taxation to the UN.

One common practice of the Bilderberg Group is to invite potential future heads of state to their meetings, to see if they will go along with their agenda. To cite a few examples, George H. W. Bush attended the 1985 meeting, Bill Clinton attended in 1991, Tony Blair in 1993, and Ramano Prodi, former head of the EU Commission in 1999. Both Barak Obama and Hilary Clinton are believed to have attended the 2008 meeting in Washington D.C.
The former British Chancellor and Bilderberger Dennis Healey has said “To say we were striving for a one world government is exaggerated, but not wholly unfair.”

How does the Bilderberg Group Rule the World?

Below are just a few examples of plans and discussions which have taken place at Bilderberg meetings, according to the various researchers inside sources.

At the 1955 Bilderberg meeting held in Germany, members discussed the agenda to form the European Union with a single European currency. Bilderberg chairman Etienne Davignon has boasted that Bilderberg helped to create the Euro.
In 1973 they increased the price of oil to $12 a barrel, a 350% jump.
In 1989 they worked to have British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher removed from office, because she was too euro-sceptic.
At the June 2002 meeting, they decided to postpone the attack on Iraq until March 2003.
In 2005 they discussed imposing a UN tax on people worldwide through a direct tax on oil.
In 2008 they discussed implanting microchips into humans.
In 2009 they discussed how to restructure the global economy, and plans to turn the World Health Organization into a world department of health, and the IMF into a global treasury.

Whatever happens after June 6 2010, perhaps we should be asking. Is this something the Bilderbergers were planning at their meeting in Spain?

Even though many still deny their very existence, the fact is... in 1954 the most powerful men in the world met for the first time under the auspices of the Dutch royal crown and the Rockefeller family in the luxurious Hotel Bilderberg of the small Dutch town of Oosterbeck. For an entire weekend they debated the future of the world. When it was over, they decided to meet once every year to exchange ideas and analyze international affairs.

They named themselves the Bilderberg Club. Since then, they have gathered yearly in a luxurious hotel somewhere in the world arrogantly plotting the subversion and silent takeover of constitutional governments everywhere. Their goal is a World Government run exclusively by their hand-picked puppets.

Bilderberg founding member and, for 30 years, a steering committee member, Denis Healey said, "To say we were striving for a one-world government is exaggerated, but not wholly unfair. Those of us in Bilderberg felt we couldn't go on forever fighting one another for nothing and killing people and rendering millions homeless. So we felt that a single community throughout the world would be a good thing."

Shrewd and calculating, their hearts are filled with lust for power and consumed by greed for money. Rich and aristocratic, they despise Christians and they loathe the lowly working class. They control the world's press and virtually all our banks and financial institutions. They screen and choose who America's leaders will be and even determine who will run on the Democratic and Republican Party tickets.

Among the elitist membership or attendees at Bilderberg meetings is David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Lloyd Bentsen, Helmut Kohl, Prince Charles, Prince Juan Carlos I of Spain, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, Katharine Graham, Alice Rivlin, Gerald Ford, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Dan Quayle, Donald Rumsfeld, Colin L. Powell, John Edwards, Bill Bradley, Bill Richardson, Christopher Dodd, Dianne Feinstein, Kathleen Sebelius, Alexander Haig, Ralph E. Reed, George Stephanopoulos, William J McDonough (former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York), U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner, George Soros, Paul Volcker & Alan Greenspan (former Chairman of the Federal Reserve), Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, World Bank president Robert Zoellick, H. J. Heinz II (CEO of H. J. Heinz Company), Peter A. Thiel (Co-Founder, PayPal), Eric E. Schmidt (Chairman and

Chief Executive Officer, Google), Lloyd Blankfein (CEO of Goldman Sachs), Rupert Murdoch, Donald E. Graham (Chairman of the Board of The Washington Post Company), William F. Buckley, Jr. (founder of National Review and former host of Firing Line), Peter Jennings, George Will, Lesley Stahl, Bill D. Moyers, and many others. The list includes prominent persons in politics, the military, financial institutions, major corporations, academia, and the media.
Leaders of the Bilderberg Club argue that discretion is necessary to allow participants in the debates to speak freely without being on the record or reported publicly. Wikipedia recently deleted the Bilderberg attendees list, citing it to be possibly defamatory towards living persons.

Why are the Davos World Economic Forum and G8 meetings carried in every newspaper, given front page coverage, with thousands of journalists in attendance, while no one covers Bilderberg Club meetings even though they are annually attended by Presidents of the International Monetary Fund, The World Bank, Federal Reserve, chairmen of 100 most powerful corporations in the world such as DaimlerChrysler, Coca Cola, British Petroleum, Chase Manhattan Bank, American Express, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Vice Presidents of the United States, Directors of the CIA and the FBI, General Secretaries of NATO, American Senators and members of Congress, European Prime Ministers and leaders of opposition parties, top editors and CEOs of the leading newspapers in the world.

"We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." -- David Rockefeller

'Shadow Government of the West' aka the Bilderberg Group is The New World Order

Called "The American Friends of Bilderberg" this front group accepts donations from the Ford Foundation to fund their meetings. Just don't show up at the meeting if you're press, and expect to cover this event regardless of what they say is going on inside!

You can only join the Bilderberg Group, Bilderberg Conference, or Bilderberg Club (take your pick), with an invitation. That means you have to be someone who is very influential in the fields of business, media, and politics.

An elitist group to say the least, but for good reason; they control the world you and I live in.

For those of you not familiar with the Bilderberg Group it's origins go back to the Hotel de Bilderberg, near Arnhem in The Netherlands in 1954 when a secret meeting was arranged by several people including Joseph Retinger. They were said to be worried about the growth of anti-Americanism in Western Europe.

An international conference was proposed and leaders from European countries and the United States came together with the professed reason to promote understanding between the two cultures. But some historians say that these powerful people got together to form, what would later be called, a One World Order.

But back to Retinger. He approached Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, who agreed to the idea of a meeting, together with Belgian Prime Minister Paul Van Zeeland, and the head of Unilever at that time, the Dutchman Paul Rijkens. Bernhard went to Walter Bedell Smith, the head of the CIA, who asked Eisenhower advisor C.D. Jackson to deal with the suggestion.

A guest list was drawn up and two attendees from each nation were there to represent conservative and liberal (both terms used in the American sense) points of view. According to Alden Hatch (see references), "The Hotel de Bilderberg meeting was so successful it was decided to make it an annual event.

It became necessary to have a permanent Steering Committee to organize these annual gatherings of the elite and power hungry. This front group maintains a register of attendee names and contact details, and is the outside world's link to these secretive leaders of the West.

Called the, "American Friends of Bilderberg, this front group accepts donations from the Ford Foundation to fund their meetings. Just don't show up at the meeting, if you're press, and expect to cover this event regardless of what they say their doing in there.

But who are these people? They are some of the Western world's leading financiers and foreign policy strategists. Donald Rumsfeld is an active Bilderberger, as is Peter Sutherland from Ireland, a former European Union commissioner and chairman of Goldman Sachs and of British Petroleum. Deputy Defense Secretary and former World Bank head Paul Wolfowitz is also a member.

The most prominent member has to be David Rockefeller, a consummate and proudly declared globalist who was there for the very first meeting in 1954, and was recently spotted at the Westfield's Marriott in Chantilly, Virginia, where the group held it's annual meeting this year.

So why aren't these meetings covered by any mainstream press? If they were intent on dissolving the sovereignty of the United States and other countries into a supra-national structure similar to the European Union we wouldn't know it would we? They often talk about "global unity" but not the kind an average American can appreciate.

On one hand, it makes no sense for the mainstream media not to cover such a newsworthy event full of royal elites, chancellors, prime ministers, presidents, ambassadors, and CEO's of transnational corporations, and corporate media executives.

It was no secret that the late Peter Jennings of ABC attending some of these secret meetings/conferences. He was there with the likes of Joseph C. Harsch of NBC; the "liberal" Bill Moyers of PBS; the "conservative " William F. Buckley, Jr.;Robert L. Bartley of the Wall Street Journal; the NeoCon William Kristol; Thomas L. Friedman of the New York Times; the late Katherine Graham of the CIA's favorite newspaper, The Washington Post; Leslie Stahl of CBS; and many more.

On the other hand, I can see why the news executives and journalists never seem to have time for this story. They remain silent because members of the Bilderberg Group own them. Lock, stock, and barrel!

Two years ago, a press release sent out on the date of the opening session of the Bilderberg Group's meeting in Ottawa, Canada, explained that the annual meeting would discuss the War on Terrorism, the situation in Iran and the Middle East, Oil, Russia, U.S.-EU relations, and relations between the West and Asia, as well as immigration. In Istanbul, The Turkish Daily News ran a story about their foreign minister Ali Babacan attending a secret conference in Canada.

After that meeting was over, indiscreet leaks reported that a decision had been announced by oil producers to raise the cost of oil to $100 a barrel in the course of the next two years. They were some people paying attention then like bloggers Inforwars (who have covered them in depth) and Prison Planet.

Other alternative press that have been covering the doings of these makers-and-shakers who affect our daily lives are: The American Chronicle; the Canada Free Press; the American Free Press; Raw Story; WorldNetDaily;Gather; and the Moderate Voice.

It seems incredible that a gathering of the most influential people in the Western hemisphere goes un-reported year-after-year.
The proof that our mainstream media is owned by this secret, invitation only group, is the fact that few people even know about the Bilderberg Group.

I know damn well that if our mainstream media wants to go after something they get to the bottom of it! One way or another. In time. Yet for all these years the most powerful people in our Western world continue to meet behind golden doors without fear of being exposed for what they really stand for: The New World Order.
