Bilderberg 2007: Welcome to the Lunatic Fringe, 21-05-2007
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 to decide the
future of humanity.
In more than fifty years of meetings that brings together unprece-
dented power and money in the same time and place, never has any
information been leaked as to what subjects were debated during the
Bilderberg Club meetings. Bilderberg, one of the world's most
powerful secret organizations is run out of an 18m2 offices, staffed
by one person, using one telephone line and a single fax number.
There is no web page and no brass name plate on the door. The
independent press has never been allowed in, and no statements have
ever been released on the attendees' conclusions nor has any agenda
for a Bilderberg meeting been made public. How, in God's name, can
this be possible when Bilderberg's elite membership list includes
all of the most powerful individuals who run the Planet?
Leaders of the Bilderberg Club argue that this discretion is neces-
sary to allow participants in the debates to speak freely without
being on the record or reported publicly. Otherwise, Bilderbergers
state, they would be forced to speak in the language of a press
release. Doubtlessly, this discretion allows the Bilderberg Club to
deliberate more freely, but that does not respond to the fundamental
question: What do the world's most powerful people talk about in
these meetings?
Any modern democratic system protects the right to privacy, but
doesn't the public have a right to know what their political leaders
are talking about when they meet the wealthiest business leaders of
their respective countries?
What guarantees do citizens have that the Bilderberg Club isn't a
centre for influence trafficking and lobbying if they aren't allowed
to know what their representatives talk about at the Club's secret
gatherings? 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. It is surprising that no mainstream corporate media outlets
consider a gathering of such figures, whose wealth far exceeds the
combined wealth of all United States citizens, to be newsworthy when
a trip by any one of them on their own makes headline news on TV.

Amongst the names appearing on the initial list of invitees which
this journalist had access to in January 2007 stand out the names of
the now disgraced John Browne, British Petroleum's Chief Executive
Officer and the disgraced and fired former chief of the World Bank,
Paul Wolfowitz. It will be interesting to see if either of these men
makes an appearance at Bilderberg 2007. The Bilderbergers have no
trouble accepting criminals into the fold as long as their misdeeds
are conducted away from public spotlight and scrutiny. Once exposed,
the culprits are generally discarded. Lord Conrad Black, former
chief executive of Hollinger media group is a case in point.
Two others names on the original January 2007 list should raise a
few eyebrows. One of them is Bernard Kouchner, the newly appointed
Minister of Foreign Affairs in the right wing Nicolas Sarkozy
government in France. Kouchner is a former founder of ONG Doctors
without Borders. He was absent from Bilderberg 2006 in Ottawa,
Canada. Could his government position been arranged prior to the
French national elections?
For my money, the surprise appearance of year award should go to
Mahmood Sariolghalam, Associate Professor of International
Relations, School of Economic and Political Sciences, National
University of Iran. What is an Iranian doing at a NATO alliance
controlled Bilderberg conference? We will know soon enough.
Bilderberg 2007 is indeed a good time to look behind the scenes.
What will be discussed at Bilderberg 2007?
Aside from the Irak quagmire, energy problems continue to dominate
Bilderberger discussions. Oil and natural gas are finite, non-
renewable resources. That's because once used up it cannot be
replenished. As the world turns, and as oil and natural gas supplies
dwindle while demand soars dramatically, especially with Indian and
Chinese booming economies who want all the trinkets and privileges
of an American way of life, we, as the Planet, have crossed the
midpoint of oil production and discovery. From now on, the only sure
thing is that supply will continue to diminish and prices will
continue to increase. In these conditions world conflict is a
physical certainty.
End of oil means end of world's financial system, something which
has already been acknowledged by Wall Street Journal and the
Financial Times, two full time members of the Bilderberger inner
circle. Goldman Sachs oil report,
[another full time member of the Bilderberger elite]
published on March 30, 2005 increased the oil price range for the
year 2005-6 from $55-$80 per barrel to $55-$105. During 2006
meeting, Bilderbergers have confirmed that their short range price
estimate for oil for the 2007-08 continues to hover around US$105-
150/barrel.
No wonder Jose Barroso, President of the European Commission,
announced several months ago during the unveiling of the new
European energy policy that the time has come for a "post-industrial
age." To bring the world into the post industrial age, you first
need to destroy the world's economic base and create another Great
Depression. When people are poor, they don´t spend money, they don´t travel, and they don´t consume.
As the economic impact sinks in, and as the after effects of Peak Oil become evident in the face of breakdown of civilization, the United States will be forced to challenge Europe, Russia and China for the hegemony of control and the ever depleting hydrocarbon, non-renewable reserves most of which are contained in the Middle East. That will be point number two on the Bilderberg 2007 agenda.
Third item on the agenda is European relations with Russia not only in Europe but also in Central Asia. With Moscow making a deal with Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan over the transport of gas to Europe, the US geo-strategic goal of driving a wedge between the Central Asian countries and Russia lies in shambles. While the US says this is "not good for Europe", the Europeans are divided. Iran, overnight has become America’s last hope in the energy war.
Iran war, after two years of huffing and puffing by the Bush government is definitely off the table. Furthermore, with France, Russia, Japan and China investing heavily in Iran, the world has drawn a line in the sand and the U.S. will be told at the conference not to cross it. There is blood in the water, and blood in the water usually leads to a good fight.
That notwithstanding, the United States needs to control the region, not only for its oil reserves but, most importantly to help it sustain world economic hegemony. Under this strategic design, regional states will be turned to weak domains of sectarian sheikhs with little or no sovereignty and, by implications, a pathetic agenda of their economic development. Regional chaos favours the spread of Islamic fundamentalism, which in turn reinforces the process of political and social disintegration supported by the Bilderbergers.
With Blair leaving, the UK will be told yet again, that they must, at all cost, do what is necessary to integrate the country into the European Community.
Finally, with Wolfowitz resigning from the World Bank, Bilderberg luminaries will try to come to a consensus on how best to overhaul not only the bank but its sister organization, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), led by a Spaniard, Rodrigo Rato. Wolfowitz became entangled in controversy seven weeks ago after World Bank whistleblowers leaked to the Washington-based non-governmental organization Government Accountability Project (GAP) documents that showed Wolfowitz pushing a high pay raise in a secondment deal to the US State Department for his girlfriend.
We, as a society, are at a crossroads. In almost every corner of the planet, stress points are beginning to fracture. The roads we take from here will determine the very future of humanity. It was former British Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, who stated that “the world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.”
It is not up to God to bring us back from the “New Dark Age” planned for us. IT IS UP TO US. Whether we go into the next century as an electronic global police state or as free human beings depends on the action we take now. Forewarned is forearmed. We will never find the right answers if we don’t ask the proper questions.
