YOU can do nothing against a conspiracy theory, sighs Etienne Davignon. He sits in a lofty office with a stupendous view over Brussels, puffing his pipe. He is an aristocrat, a former vice-president of the European Commission and a man who has sat on several corporate boards, but that is not why some people consider him too powerful. He presides over the Bilderberg group, an evil conspiracy bent on world domination. At least, that is what numerous websites allege; also that it has ties to al-Qaeda, is hiding the cure for cancer and wishes to merge the United States with Mexico.
In reality, Bilderberg is an annual conference for a few dozen of the worlds most influential people.

Statists are always willing to tell you what they are going to do. Obummer told eeryone he was going to pass health care, and spred the wealth around.

You are not a Thinker....you are a Statist.
Hey, I didn't say I wanted them to have control! You have to delve into the minds and motivations of evil people, understand them, in order to defeat them.
No, statism is evil. It's a direct threat to individual rights and I surely don't want to lose mine.
The more people who can win or keep their rights, the crushing pressure globalist exert on free nations and people, the more secure the world becomes.
And I guess I should have said that I believe in the existence of globalists. Now hopefully you understand where I'm coming from.
