World government in action

---------------------- Posted: May 16, 2003 1:00 a.m. Eastern

Editor's note: The May edition of WND's monthly Whistleblower magazine – titled "THE NEW WORLD RE-ORDER" – is a stunning expose of the attempts by globalist organizations, secret societies and others to subjugate American sovereignty to the rule of international law administered by the United Nations.

Do you believe in conspiracies?

Do you believe there are powerful people who conspire together annually to solidify their grip on world domination?

Do you believe all of this happens in secret, with the quiet complicity of the world media?

Well, I've got news for you. There really are conspiracies at work. There really are powerful people plotting world domination. And they really operate in near-total secrecy as the world press sits on its collective duff.

In fact, it's happening right now as you read this column.

The venue is Versailles, France. Today is the last day of a two-day confab of the Bilderberg Group, an international lobby representing the interests of the power elite of Europe and America.

You would be surprised at the membership of the organization. One of the founding members, for instance is Otto Wolff von Amerongen – a man credited with reviving business ties between Germany and the old Soviet bloc. For more than 50 years, according to the Moscow Times, he "walked the corridors of power and influence on both sides of the Iron Curtain," serving as Bonn's informal ambassador to Russia while heading numerous trade committees and commissions over the decades. He has been at the forefront of closer economic relations between Russia and Germany.

He was the first German to join the board of Esso, now Exxon-Mobil. He has served on 26 boards of directors, including the Deutsche Bank and other leading corporations.

Never heard of von Amerongen? Many have not. He keeps his resume quiet for a good reason. His past links the 84-year-old to Nazi Germany's theft of Jewish holdings during World War II.

You might not see much of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld this weekend. He, too, is a member of the Bilderberg Group. So, too, is Ireland's Gen. Peter Sutherland, a former European Union commissioner and chairman of Goldman Sachs and BP. Rumsfeld and Sutherland served together in 2000 on the board of a Zurich-based energy company, ABB, which sold two light-water nuclear reactors to North Korea.

You've heard Rumsfeld talk about this member-state of the "axis of evil" and its nuclear ambitions. He made similar noises about North Korea's nuclear ambitions in 1998.

But, in between, he served on the board of a company that sold the totalitarian regime two nuclear reactors.

Hard to believe? It's true.

The Bilderberg Group has been described as "50 people who run the world and 20 hangers-on." It's actually a slightly bigger conspiracy.

In the words of another observer, it is comprised of "120 or so of the most influential men in Europe and North America."

Since 1953, the Bilderberg Group has convened government, business, academic and journalistic representatives from the U.S., Canada and Europe. The locations and agendas of the conferences are closely guarded secrets.

Last year, the BBC described the annual meetings this way: "It's officially described as a private gathering, 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."

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."

If my news organization had the financial resources, I would do everything in my power to give you the scoop on what is taking place at this annual meeting and future conferences by this secretive group of elitists. That's my excuse. I wonder what excuse CNN has, or the New York Times, or NBC, or the Washington Post, or the Associated Press?

Nevertheless, though I couldn't put reporters on the ground at this Bilderberg meeting in France, I can give you something perhaps even more valuable: The May issue of our monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled "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.

Suppose someone wanted to have an "International Conclave for State Executives" to get input on international trade at a level lower than head of state administration.

One might send invitations to every governor in the US and others to the heads of similar political divisions in other countries.

Then they might want to hold the conference in one of the finest hotels in the world. Gee, the Bilderbergers have lots of hotels in lots of countries and have specialized in just these get togethers.

They can cater to heads of state, academicians, lobbiests, bankers, even UFO conventions (if they can afford it) or any combination.

Oh yes...I was around when they broke out tin-foil hats whenever someone mentioned the Bilderberger conference.

"A bunch of conspiracy nuts, everybody knows there's no such thing..."

I'm betting you remember as well.

Them: Adventures with Extremists [BARGAIN PRICE]
by Jon Ronson
From Publishers Weekly
U.K. journalist Ronson offers a look into the world of political, cultural and religious "extremists" who dwell at the edges of popular culture and the conspiracy theorists who love them. His only criteria for groups' inclusion as extremists is "that they have been called extremists by others," which may explain why the Anti-Defamation League is profiled along with the modern-day KKK, radical Northern Ireland Protestant spokesperson Dr. Ian Paisley and a former BBC sportscaster who believes the world is ruled by a race of alien lizards. The best as well as most timely and unsettling of these essays follows Omar Bakri Mohammed, a radical Islamic militant, on his often bumbling effort to organize British Muslims into a jihad. (Bakri was arrested after September 11.) Ronson's journalism is motivated less out of a duty to inform the public than a desire to satisfy his own curiosity. At the heart of the book is Ronson's quest to find the Bilderberg Group, a secret cabal said to meet once a year to set the agenda of the "New World Order." Fortunately for the reader, his efforts lead somewhere: an informant tracks Bilderberg to a golf resort in Portugal; later, a prominent British politician and Bilderberg founder discusses it on the record. Once viewed up close through Ronson's light, ironic point of view, these "extremists" appear much less scary than their public images would suggest. It is how he reveals the all-too-real machinations of Western society's radical fringe and its various minions that makes this enjoyable work rather remarkable. (Jan.)Forecast: In the U.K., Ronson's book was accompanied by a five-part BBC documentary, which helped make him into a star. If he can capitalize on media appearances here, this may turn into a quick cult hit.

I don't question the existence of the group nor that these people meet. However, as influential as they may be, I don't believe this:

......that the world is secretly controlled by an elite group -- in a word, Them. This shadowy elite starts the wars, elects heads of state, sets the price of oil and the flow of capital, conducts bizarre secret rituals, and controls the media. This group is incredibly powerful and will destroy any investigator who gets too close to the truth.

Why do you think they've been so secretive about their meetings, and why for a long time did they get people to deny that the meetings or even the organization existed? Strange thing for an innocent discussion club to do, if that's all it is.

Some questions for you:

Why Communism if these capitalists run the world?

Why depressions if they control everything?

Why is the world's oil supply in the hands of stone-agers?

Why the suppression of nuclear power generation?

Why the success of free enterprise if it is in-fact, not free?

Why terrorism?

These are just a few of the things that seem unlikely to happen if we had a self-interested group in complete control of everything.

I've never suggested they're in complete control of everything. I don't believe they are. I do, however, believe that they are something more than an innocent discussion group without any power at all. And I see no sensible reason to mock those who are curious about secret meetings of such relatively powerful people.

Nobody talks about this because they are braid dead. Most of the deadheads here would rather post those silly tinfoil graphics and laugh and laugh at how clever they are to see through all this. Besides, the pubbies are in charge now, and they're gonna save us, dontcha know.

Hang on, Fred, we're now on the big slide to oblivion.

And here is the entire quote (warning) spoken by Abraham Lincoln, who died as a result of bucking the conspirators.

"When we see a lot of framed timbers, different portions of which we know have been gotten out at different times and places by different workmen, and when we see these timbers joined together and see that they exactly make the frame of a house or a mill, all the lengths and porportions of the different pieces exactly adapted to their respective pieces, and not a piece too many or too few, not omitting even scaffolding, or if a single piece be lacking, we can see the place in the frame exactly fitted and prepared to yet bring such piece in; in such case, we find it impossible to not believe that they all understood one another from the beginning, and all worked upon a common plan or draft drawn up before the first lick was struck."

Why so secretive about their meeting place? Duh.

Al Qaeda, and all of its friends.

If you wanted to wreck the western economic and political system, this would be a good place to hit.

I like how the editorial exploits selective evidence. By citing one of the founders, who has a questionable past, we're led to believe that the whole organization is corrupt, evil or both.

Kinda like talking darkly about the U.S. Senate. You know, the place that has a former KKK member in it.

Powerful people meet all the time. It may be the mayor and the local fat cats or it may be the governor and more and bigger cats or it may be national or international. None of these meetings would benefit from public announcements, regardless of what is discussed, and yes some crooked deals are sometimes hatched in such meetings but not all of them for sure.

I suspect they (the Bilderberg group) do talk about what is going on in many realms, including politics and the international monetary conditions, and they may even pick each others brains, but I see no sinister plot to control the world because it can't be successfully done.

If they met openly would there be less suspicion? Regardless of how low-key the meetings are the press always knows and announces them. If they were publicly ballyhooed wouldn't the press demand press conferences to explain what went on? If so, that would destroy the value of the meetings. IMHO, the whole effort is to avoid dealing with the idiot media.

The secrecy long antedates Al Qaeda. It goes back to the fifties.

Well, until the secret became impossible to keep the past couple of years, almost all the press was strangely silent about the annual Bilderberger meetings. How do you explain that?

I have heard about them for much longer than that. How did I learn? Is it also possible that the media back then considered it no big deal? It seems that if they don't report it is a conspiracy which includes them, if they do report it, the fact that they hadn't before is also evidence of complicity.

I have expressed my opinion. I see nothing to worry about. However, as I have said before on this matter, if they are powerful enough to control the world there is little you or I can do about it so just hope their interest incorporates ours also.
