• What next for Europe?
• Current events

Press Release | Bilderberg Meetings


That is a sizeable amount of powerful people that will be meeting (behind closed doors, guarded by men with automatic weapons & with zero press coverage inside the event) to discuss large pressing topics that affect millions if not billions of people.

Thoughts?

 

[ArchieBunker]

There are many prolix, gloomy polyloquent-types who want to effectuate the downfall of all that is decent and civilized. One—the Bilderberg Group—is so ethically bankrupt, it deserves special mention. For the sake of review, the Bilderberg Group's vilipensive comments offer only false hopes. I mean, think about it.

The Bilderberg Group's secret passion is to persuade many of its rivals to enter into a one-way “dialogue”. For shame! The Bilderberg Group has been offering illiterate profiteers a lot of money to have a serious destabilizing effect on our institutions. This is blood money, plain and simple. Anyone thinking of accepting it should realize that wherever acrasial, rancorous flibbertigibbets are seen ignoring compromise and focusing solely on the Bilderberg Group's personal agenda, the Bilderberg Group is there. Wherever appalling cutthroats are found threatening our core values, allegiances, and beliefs, the Bilderberg Group is lurking nearby. Wherever wayward, foul-mouthed quarrelsome-types are observed exploiting the masses, the Bilderberg Group will no doubt be in the vicinity. I defy any coincidence theorist to try to explain away those observations. Clearly, I have some of the Bilderberg Group's writings in front of me right now. In one of them, the Bilderberg Group maintains that our elected officials should be available for purchase by special-interest groups. If you don't find that shocking then consider that the Bilderberg Group's shenanigans are not only pot-valiant but divisive. They are divisive at a time when we need unity. They are liberticidal at a time when we need to come together to tell our shared stories about how whenever I turn around I see the Bilderberg Group setting up dissident groups and individuals for conspiracy charges and then carrying out searches and seizures on flimsy pretexts. To deny such a truth would be to deny the evidence of our own senses.

I honestly want to sound the bugle of liberty, but I can't do that alone. So do me a favor and carve solutions that are neither shabby nor wanton. That'll show the Bilderberg Group that when it tells us that it can absorb mana by devouring its castigators' brains, it somehow fails to mention that it should be regarded as a bêete noire. It fails to mention that I hope that it regrets what it has done. And it fails to mention that I will stop at nothing to provide an antidote to contemporary manifestations of covinous triumphalism. My resolve cannot fully be articulated, but it is unyielding. As evidence, consider that I want to make this clear so that those who do not understand deeper messages embedded within sarcastic irony—and you know who I'm referring to—can process my point. I'd like to finish with a quote from a private e-mail message sent to me by a close friend of mine: “The Bilderberg Group's plunderbund is known for its widespread, systematic, and gross violations of human rights”. The Bilderberg Group is coming for you, and they already rule the world!!!

 

[24107]

I'm sure they are concentrating on bringing an end to world hunger and war. I would imagine the meeting to be something like this.

 

[Peter King]

Everything that can have a positive effect on citizens, businesses, governments and society as a whole, is welcome IMO.

 

[Andalublue]

Clearly, I have some of the Bilderberg Group's writings in front of me right now. In one of them, the Bilderberg Group maintains that our elected officials should be available for purchase by special-interest groups.

To deny such a truth would be to deny the evidence of our own senses.

So, you'd be able to post some of these writings and provide some documentary evidence of these searches and seizures carried out by the Bilderberg group's forces of 'liberticide'.

Record Number Of Bond Villains Attend Bilderberg Conference

A nefarious and duplicitous rogues gallery descended upon Copenhagen this morning with what WWN believes will result in a masterful plot involving the kidnapping of heads of state or the stealing of the nuclear launch codes. Or worse yet the crown jewels of Denmark.

While other sections of the media have long been criticised for turning a blind eye to the Bilderberg summits, WWN has put its safety on the line by bringing its readers this exclusive.
Protestors outside the event were appalled to see a number of prominent villains walking around openly in Copenhagen.

“I guess it’s normal to see a henchman or two,” explained experienced protester Sunflower Honey, “people like Oddjob have to earn a living and maybe he’s working a private security gig but then I saw Ernst Stavro Blofeld and I’m like ‘something’s not right here’, ya know?”

[BmanMcfly]

Funny... I still remember when bilderburg did not exist. These people don't meet together.

 

[rathi]

Secret unaccountable conferences with other powerful people doesn't create the Illuminati, they simply breed the usual run of the mill corruption. For example, the agenda item of "intelligence sharing" is most likely the collusion between industry and governments to allow the massive spying on the public that has been documented.

With A ‘Black’ Birthday Cake Bilderberg & Kissinger Celebrate In The Dark

 

[Jango]

One would think that a gathering of powerful & influential people of that magnitude would attract ample press coverage like when the G-7, G-20 or U.N. Security Council meet or when heads of state meet with one another, particularly here in the states where a free press supposedly exists.

Using the search term 'Bilderberg' on their websites here are the results I got:

CNN: 0 stories for 2014 meeting.
CBS: 0 stories for 2014 meeting.
ABC: 0 stories for 2014 meeting.
NBC: 0 stories for 2014 meeting.
MSNBC: 0 stories for 2014 meeting.
FOX: 0 stories for 2014 meeting.

Hmm. What's the takeaway of that? That there is nothing of note to report? Or something else?

"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries."

-- David Rockefeller, Speaking at the June, 1991 Bilderberger meeting in Baden, Germany (a meeting also attended by then-Governor Bill Clinton and by Dan Quayle
