US attendees at ‘world government’ meeting may be breaking law: activists

Raw Story, June 4th, 2010 By Daniel Tencer

Activists protesting outside this year's meeting of the secretive Bilderberg Group say American citizens attending the meeting may be breaking the law.

The 56-year-old group, which hosts some of the world's most influential financiers and politicians on annual basis, is alleged to have been the driving force behind the launch of several wars and behind a push to create a single global government -- a claim that many observers describe as not credible.

Among the attendees of previous years' meetings were former President Bill Clinton; former UK prime ministers Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and Margaret Thatcher; World Bank head Robert Zoellick; Fed chairman Ben Bernanke; and US statesman Henry Kissinger. The Independent reports that this year's attendees include Jean-Claude Trichet, head of the European Central Bank, and Queen Reina of Spain. Russia Today reports of "rumors" that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is attending this year's meeting.

Though, of course, there is no way to be certain who is at the conference. This year's meeting is taking place this weekend in Sitges, Spain, a beach resort town south of Barcelona. Like every year, the meeting is closed to the press, and its agenda and list of attendees are secret.

Some protesters outside the meeting say the participation of US citizens in the meeting is forbidden by law. One protester told RT that the Logan Act of 1799 forbids US citizens from negotiating in secret with representatives of foreign governments. Thus, if any American attendee were to come to an agreement on any issue, it could be a violation of federal law.

With Europe focused on the debt crisis in Greece and other countries, European protesters focused on the Bilderberg Group's alleged involvement in the creation of the European Union and Europe's monetary union.

Daniel Estulin, an investigator who has written two books about Bilderberg, told RT that the big question at this year's meeting is whether the Euro will survive the continent's fiscal crisis.

But Estulin said people are mistaken to think the Bilderberg Group is working towards a world government. "Their plan is not about creating one world government, as so many people mistakenly believe, but rather creating what they call themselves the 'aristocracy of purpose' between North American and European elites. ... In other words, the creation of 'One World Company Ltd.' And to have one world company, you can't have countries, you need to have economic blocks."

'BALONEY'

Members of the Bilderberg Group themselves may share some of the blame for the concerns about the group secretly pushing for a global government. In a 2001 book, author Jon Ronson quotes Denis Healey, one of Bilderberg founding members, as saying: "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."

But not everyone considers this to mean that Bilderberg is building a new world order. Investigative journalist Chip Berlet told Russia Today that the myriad conspiracy theories surrounding the Bilderberg Group are nonsense.

"This idea that the Bilderberg Group is a secret elite force that controls the world economy and is building a new world order is a giant pot of spoiled borscht made from rotten beets," he told the Russian news service.

Berlet noted that "there are 15 or 20 other similar groups that have secret meetings" and that "most meetings between corporate leaders and government officials are secret."

The theories about Bilderberg are "a hoax carried out by people who believe an elaborate fairy tale," he said.

But Berlet admitted that "from a [public relations] perspective it's idiotic to have secret meetings with secret guest lists and a secret agenda. Of course that encourages conspiracy theories."

He added that "the organization itself has no power. This idea that this is a plot that is carried out by 30 or 40 countries is baloney."

Bilderberg Agenda Revealed: Globalists In Crisis, Supportive Of Attack On Iran

Propaganda Matrix, 5 June 2010 by Paul Joseph Watson

The 2010 Bilderberg agenda has been revealed by veteran Bilderberg sleuth Jim Tucker and it paints a picture of crisis for the globalists, who are furious at the increased exposure their gatherings have received in recent years, as well as being dismayed at their failure to rescue both the euro and the failing carbon tax agenda, but more alarmingly according to Tucker, the majority of Bilderberg members are now in favor of military air strikes on Iran.

American Free Press muckraker Tucker has proven routinely accurate with the information he obtains from sources inside Bilderberg, which makes this year's revelations all the more intriguing.

According to Tucker, Bilderberg luminaries are dismayed at the fact that "many important people" are not attending this year because, due to increasing exposure, invitees are "getting in trouble at home" and constituents are embarrassing them by asking irate questions such as "what are you doing with these monsters?"

"All these people are exposing us, we get all this mail and calls," Tucker paraphrased Bilderberg members as complaining.

This dovetails with the revelations overheard by Guardian journalist Charlie Skelton at the Hotel Dolce Sitges before the meeting began when he heard conference organizers lamenting the fact that protest numbers are growing at Bilderberg events each year and that they represent a "threat" to Bilderberg's agenda.

In addition, prominent Bilderberg Zbigniew Brzezinski, the man who warned recently that a "global political awakening" was threatening to derail the move towards global government, was expected to be in attendance at this year's meeting.

Tucker named his source as an international financial consultant who personally knows Bilderberg members and has done business with them for the past 20 years.

Turning to Iran, Tucker said that many Bilderberg members, including Brzezinski, were in favor of U.S. air strikes on Iran and were "leaning towards war," although 100 per cent of members were not supportive of an attack.

"Some of them in Europe are saying no we shouldn't do it but most of them are in favor of American air strikes on Iran," said Tucker, adding, "They're tilting heavily towards green lighting a U.S. attack on Iran."

An attack on Iran would provide a welcome distraction to the globalists' failings in other areas and would also allow them to war profiteer, pointed out Tucker.

On the subject of the euro, Tucker said that the Bilderberg elitists were determined to save the single currency even as it collapsed to a new 4-year-low at $1.19 against the dollar yesterday afternoon. As we have highlighted, the globalists are panicking at the euro's fall and the ECB keeps intervening to try and hasten its decline. If the euro were to cease to exist, it would all but derail the ultimate agenda for a global currency because the perceived stability of using one currency for a plethora of nations would be discredited.

"The euro is important because it's part of their world government program, they're very downbeat because they've fallen so far behind," said Tucker, explaining that the globalists had planned by now to have the European Union, the American Union and the Asia-Pacific Union already up and running.

With regard to the climate change agenda, on which subject Microsoft founder Bill Gates was personally invited to the conference to discuss, Tucker said that Bilderberg were still intent on pushing it in pursuit of a carbon tax despite the fact that the whole move was massively eviscerated in the aftermath of the Climategate scandal.

Tucker quoted one Bilderberg member as all but admitting defeat on the mission to hoodwink the public into paying taxes in the name of fighting global warming.

"On climate change, we're about whipped," said one of the elitists in attendance.

However, Tucker said that the globalists were working on putting out more climate change propaganda "even as we speak".

On the issue of the BP oil spill, the Bilderbergers made it clear that President Obama's apparent "outrage" at BP and his threat of criminal procedures against the company was an little more than an act and that British Petroleum, who have been represented at Bilderberg meetings in the past by people like Peter Sutherland, former non-executive chairman of BP, were still "one of our brothers," according to the elitists.

The future of oil prices are always an important topic to Bilderberg and the leaks Tucker and other investigators relayed from previous Bilderberg meetings were proven accurate when oil prices hit $150 a barrel in 2008, which was precisely what Bilderberg had called for.

"Gas prices are going to be nice and cheap this summer," said Tucker, adding that they would start to rise again to the $4 a gallon level around November when artificial scarcity is created.

On the march towards anti-democratic global government, Bilderberg members stated that America must be "Europeanized" and turned into a giant socialist welfare state with health rationing and higher income taxes.

Tucker said hat Bilderberg were intent on mandating a bank tax paid directly to the IMF to fund global governance and a global treasury department under the IMF, and that this would then merely be passed on to the consumer.

In summary, Tucker said that this year's conference was the most downbeat and pessimistic Bilderberg meeting in history, with massive exposure of their agenda acting as a roadblock to the ultimate goal of an authoritarian world government run by the elite, for the elite.
