NO - NO - NO Sonny!!!!!

What country are you from????

Bilderberg is a “shadow government” operating as a “think tank”.

The Trilateral Commission is a “think tank” which also seeks to pull governments strings from the shadows of un-elected governments.

CFR is just another “think tank” trying to influence official policy from the “shadows”....

What country are you from? Are you by chance a “Rhodes Scholar” or member of “Skull & Bones”?

Secret societies exist, calling themselves “think tanks” focusing upon world order and government policies from outside of elected office.

You REALLY need to do some homework my friend...

Start by reading the following two documents...

http://www.cfr.org/content/publications/attachments/NorthAmerica_TF_eng.pdf

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/03/20050323-1.html

Then you will understand what a “shadow government” is and how it works.

Until then, don’t bother trying to talk about something you clearly know nothing about.

I should have just used the formal term "her majesty's loyal opposition", instead of the more every day use. I feel like I'm speaking greek and your speaking german.

I'm going to spoon feed this now, so it can be as simple as possible.

Try this from Wikipedia, they say it better then I do, and you probably believe in more conspiracy theories then me.

The Shadow Cabinet (also called the Shadow Front Bench) is a senior group of opposition spokespeople in the Westminster system of government who together under the leadership of the Leader of the Opposition (or the leader of other smaller opposition parties) form an alternative cabinet to the government's, whose members shadow or mark each individual member of the government. Members of a shadow cabinet are often but not always appointed to a Cabinet post if and when their party gets into government. It is the Shadow Cabinet's responsibility to pass criticism on the current government and its respective legislation, as well as offering alternative policies.

In the United Kingdom and Canada the major opposition party and specifically its shadow cabinet is often called Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition. The adjective "loyal" is used because, while the role of the opposition is to oppose Her Majesty's Government, it does not dispute Her Majesty's right to the throne and therefore the legitimacy of the government. However in other countries that use the Westminster system (eg. Australia and New Zealand), the opposition is known simply as The Parliamentary Opposition.

Some parliamentary parties, notably the British Labour Party and the Australian Labor Party, elect all the members of their shadow cabinets in a partyroom ballot, with the Leader of the Opposition then allocating portfolios to the Shadow Ministers. In other parliamentary parties, the membership and composition of the Shadow Cabinet is generally determined solely by the Leader of the Opposition.

Now I know this is hard to grasp, since your kind of stuck on every single conspiracy theory group of secret puppet governments, and I am not discounting that, we are arguing definations, and their uses, in different forms of government. Kind of like how the brits call a flashlight a torch, and we call a flashlight a flashlight.

I know what I am talking about, you just can't grasp the idea, that there can be more then one meaning of a phrase, and that in different countries, it has different meanings, not the entire world speaks american english or uses our phrases the same way.

There, I hope you can finally understand what I am talking about now.
