Guess who's at super-secret Bilderberg meeting today
Italy hosts 50th-anniversary confab of mysterious society of world leaders

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."

In addition, according to the Bilderberg.org website, two reporters ("rapporteurs") from the British publication The Economist will also be attending: Gideon Rachman, Brussels correspondent, and Adrian D. Wooldridge, the magazine's foreign correspondent.
That may afford slightly more transparency than in the past. In 1998, British free-lance journalist Campbell Thomas attempted to cover the conference in Turnberry, Scotland, for the Daily Mail. Thomas began by seeking the opinions of neighbors to the secret meeting being held nearby. One of those was a young woman who told him he was in the hotel's staff quarters and should leave immediately, which he did. A short while later, two local police officers arrested Thomas, who reportedly remained in custody for eight hours.
British journalist Jon Ronson, who is the author of a book on Bilderberg, had this to say: "I'm a sort of semi-conspiracy theorist when it comes to Bilderberg because I think they wouldn't go to that much trouble of having this incredibly expensive international conference every year and they'd go to all this trouble to keep themselves out of the press and be really secret and invite the world's most powerful people if it was just a chat and a game of golf, which is basically what they say it is. So I do think they have some impact on world affairs."
Some observers are even speculating that President Bush will make an appearance at this year's event, just as Bill Clinton did at the group's 2000 meeting. By coincidence, it just happens that Bush will be in Italy over the weekend …
SPECIAL "BILDERBERG-WEEKEND" OFFER: Through this weekend only – that is, until the Bilderberg meeting ends Sunday, June 6 – WND will give away, FREE, two of its most coveted special reports on secret globalist groups:
"THE NEW WORLD RE-ORDER," takes on the globalists big-time. If you've ever wanted to understand what international elitists – from the "Bilderbergers" to the Council on Foreign Relations to the United Nations – are really up to, here's your answer.
• One of WND's most popular magazine editions of all time – "THE FED: How your money – and life – are controlled by America's banking system." This special issue deals cover-to-cover with exposing the controversial and little understood Federal Reserve System.
You can get both of these special issues FREE when you subscribe to Whistleblower, or renew, or give a gift subscription before 10 p.m. Pacific Sunday. What's more, as part of this special offer, you'll also receive not only 12 issues of WND's acclaimed Whistleblower magazine (starting with the current shocker, "THE PARTY OF TREASON"), but in addition ...
• We'll send you a FREE copy of the brand-new and highly acclaimed election blockbuster book, "We Will Pray for Election Day."
So much for "super-secret."
Could it be possibly kept hush hush and secret just for the sake of safety and security for these people who are so wealthy and influential - and nothing more. Famous and rich people don't ever let folks know their schedule and plans for safety reasons and plain old privacy.
The Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations are creations of the Bilderberg Group. They work in their own way toward the set goals.
Some people seem to think that the guest list and membership are the same. Not so; many guests are simply invited as a courtesy to get them on board the program.
The Bilderberg group is led by unidentified individuals. The follow the dots indicators lead to David Rockefeller, Maurice Strong and others.
This is all leading to global government guided from the top by the power elite.
It looks that way. Still the list of invited guests give some idea about mindset of the actual leaders.
Yes there are clues.
Just look at the European Union to see our future.
Yes, this is most definitely the reason, but it is more fun for people to imagine that they are subject to some conspiracy or some other such nonsesne.
Correct me if I'm wrong but 'Freedom of Association' is usually a given in the West.
It was much easier to make that argument in the past when capitalists operated in local environments. With the advent of instant global communications, global travel and 24 hour instant markets, what used to be called "Capitalism" is now more correctly called "Oligopolyism."
<< Guess who's at SUPER-SECRET Bilderberg meeting today? >>

GREAT BIG SECRET, EH, GEORGE??
Love and money -- Brian
Drawing extensively on Reagan's own writings and firsthand interviews with this family, friends, and coworkers, Brown weaves a magnificent story of Reagan's strong devotion to God from his childhood -- when his devout mother played a big part in developing the young Reagan's character, principles and beliefs -- to his two terms in office, where his reliance on God helped bring down the Soviet empire. Throughout, Brown demonstrates the powerful impact Reagan's faith had on his ideas, rhetoric, policies, and decisions.
Some highlights:
Spared for a purpose: how Reagan rededicated his life to Christ after surviving the assassination attempt of March 30, 1981
How Reagan, prepared from his earliest days to deal with varying faith traditions, became the first born-again Christian on the national stage to connect effectively with Catholics
The impact of his mother's strong Christian faith
How, throughout his teenage and young adult years, the hand of God was evident in Reagan's life
The impact of his uniquely Christian education at Eureka College
The path of early failure and disappointment that led to deepened spirituality -- and his career in radio broadcasting
Fame and misfortune: How the spiritual wasteland of Hollywood challenged his faith
How his first marriage with actress Jane Wyman ended in disaster after the death of their child. How he rediscovered his faith to keep him from sinking into depression and despair
Revealed in depth: the all-but-unknown impact of Christian worker Henrietta Mears on his life
The impact of Reagan's faith on his clash with communists in Hollywood -- and his eventual political conversion from New Deal Democrat to conservative Republican
Reagan's unprecedented success among churchgoers: how he got them to vote en masse by confronting, instead of avoiding, controversial social issues such as school prayer and abortion
The little-known efforts by Nancy and her allies in the White House to undermine parts of the Reagan social agenda
Nancy Reagan: the inside story of her reliance on an astrologer after her husband's near death
Never before revealed: how Michael Reagan, the President's oldest son, tried to persuade Nancy to become a Christian like her husband
Why many of the Reagan kids' spiritual and familial problems can be directly traced to her non-Christian beliefs and practices
Reagan, Rome and Russia: how, together with Pope John Paul II, Reagan set about bringing down the Soviet Empire
How Reagan's end-times beliefs shaped his view of global politics, especially the worldwide struggle against Communism
The Long Goodbye: the lasting moral and spiritual benefit to the nation of Reagan's public battle with Alzheimer's disease
"An inspiring story of how a seed of faith is planted in the life of a young man by a diligent and caring mother, how that faith blossomed and changed his life, and how, through him, that faith changed America and the entire world. This book highlights my father's deep reliance on the providence of God and the Christian principles by which he lived. Most writers that have written about him fail to recognize the role his faith played in his life." -- MICHAEL REAGAN, from his Foreword
Maurice Strong is a shadowy almost unknown malcreant.. Whos name pops up in the stangest places and times and events.
If its so damned super secret, how come everyone and their grandmother knows who's attending?
It must not be TOO BIG a secret.
All things have there course, a day of hours.
I can really see the left falling for Edwards swill tho.
Five or ten years ago they denied there was such a thing as Bilderberg, and laughed at anyone who even said the word out loud. Now they are celebrating their 50th anniversary. They quietly put out a guest list now because they were outed by the underground press over the last few years, and the silence was embarassing.
In the last 50 years we have been treated to the UN becoming a de facto world government, the continent of Europe becoming one superstate, North America gradually becoming one economic/political union, etc. etc.
Connect the dots. The world is heading toward becoming one giant copy of the EU. It isn't happening by accident.
Yea, Bill Gate's Wife is conspiring to take over the world.....
"Donald Graham, chairman and CEO of the Washington Post Company,"
So much for keeping the "press" out of these meetings. Duh
