An informal conference is held annually, consisting of about 130 participants, most of whom are influential people in the field of politics, banking and business, who come from the editorial offices of major Western media. Entrance is possible only by personal invitation. The topics of the meetings are not announced in the press (although lately it has been increasingly possible to find out what the Bilderberg Club members are talking about). At meetings, you can not film or record on a dictaphone, the press is not allowed.

First meeting

Bilderberg meetings have been held annually since 1954. Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands invited influential politicians and businessmen from Western Europe and the United States of America to meet at the Bilderberg Hotel, 90 km from Amsterdam. Were invited those who 10 years ago fought on different front lines of World War II. The platform was needed to determine the new world order.

The meeting was attended by 50 most influential personalities from 11 countries. The composition of the Bilderberg Club was approved by Prince Bernhard himself, together with the CIA, as well as Henry Kessinger and David Rockefeller. Henry Kessinger was an American statesman and diplomat, international affairs expert, and US Secretary of State from 1973 to 1977. The name of David Rockefeller is familiar to everyone - an influential banker and statesman, the grandson of the first oil tycoon, the first dollar millionaire in history and the founder of Standard Oil, John D. Rockefeller.

The idea was an informal meeting of the powers that be to discuss world problems. The participation of the press was not expected. It was planned that the first meeting would last three days. The safety of the participants was ensured by the country in which the bilderbergers gather. Today, the organization is headquartered in New York (Carnegie Endowment), and meetings are held around the world.

When it became known about the meetings

The secret meetings of the powerful of this world became known to the general public in 1957, when the American columnist Westbrook Pegler wrote an article about a meeting of politicians and businessmen in the state of Georgia. He himself learned about the meeting from a reader who said that while relaxing in one of the local hotels he noticed a large concentration of police and federal agents who ensured the safety of invited guests. Such a closeness of the club subsequently gave rise to many conspiracy theories that have not subsided to this day.

Secret world government

In some sources, the Bilderberg Group is called the world government, because at the meetings supranational problems are discussed and the directions in which the whole world is moving are outlined. Perhaps this is just an informal meeting of leaders at which the problems of humanity are discussed in order to take into account the interests of the entire world community. Someone believes that this is a meeting of the richest clans to secure the status and redistribute the world's wealth.

The secrets of the Bilderberg Club are beginning to be revealed. Today it is not such a closed society as before. Officially, the meetings are held to strengthen the dialogue between the United States and Europe, but during the Cold War, it seemed to many that this was the coordination of actions against the Soviet Union, and then against other states or organizations that could potentially be dangerous for capitalist Europe and the States.

Members of the Bilderberg Club

The membership of the club includes about 400 people, a third of them are citizens of the United States, the rest are Europeans and Asians (Koreans, Japanese, Singaporeans). After each meeting, an informal report is prepared and distributed only to current and former members of the club. Speakers usually change each year. Only eight people are members of the club's government: Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumsfeld, Henry Kissinger, Nelson and David Rockefeller, Alan Greenspan, Robert McNamara and Richard Pearl.

Organization government

Nelson, older brother of David Rockefeller, died in 1977. David himself passed away in 2017. Most likely, now his son, the new head of the Rockefeller house, David Rockefeller Jr., is being invited to meetings. Paul Wolfowitz is an American politician, president of the World Bank (2005-2007), who was forced to step down after the promotion scandal of his mistress Shahi Reza. Henry Kessinger (like Paul Wolfowitz) is still a member of the Bilderberg Club today.

Donald Rumsfeld is a US politician who served as secretary of defense during the presidencies of George W. Bush and Gerald Ford. Alan Greenspan is an American economist who has run the Federal Reserve System for 18.5 years. Robert McNamara died in 2009. The Republican politician helped rebuild Ford Motors after World War II, briefly served as president of the firm, but then became secretary of defense. In this position, he set a record - 2595 days in office. Richard Pearl is a defense specialist, political scientist, politician, and active participant in US-Russian relations.

Interestingly, the majority of Bilderberg members are of Jewish origin. Their methods of doing business and affairs in politics sometimes caused extremely negative reviews from colleagues and compatriots, scandals and wide public outcry were played out around them. The powerful of this world have never looked back at the opinion of the majority.

Chairman of the Bilderberg Group

The current chairman of the organization is Etienne Davignon. The 85-year-old viscount was one of the commissioners of the European Commission in the past, today he is the head of one of the largest corporations. Davignon's office in Brussels is hung with caricatures of himself. He does not like to give interviews, but in 2005 he shared with the BBC his opinion about the activities of the Bilderberg Club. Who really rules the world, Etienne Davignon does not know, but he believes that these are definitely not representatives of an organization that he prefers to call private rather than secretive. The chairman downplays the importance of the club, arguing that these are just meetings of powerful people who want to interact with equally powerful representatives of politics and big business.

Who else was invited to the meetings

Over the years, King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, Eric Schmidt, Chairman of the Board of Google Corporation, Reid Hoffman, founder of Linkedln, Sir Peter Mendelssohn, EU Commissioner for Trade, billionaire Oleg Deripaska, French politician Alain Juppe, the Rothschilds, economic analyst questions of Will Hutton, Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands, Prime Minister of the Netherlands M. Rutte, former US Ambassador to Germany J. McGee and others.

Representatives from Russia

There could not have been a Soviet party elite at the first meeting of the Bilderberg Club. Dissidents were also invited to the meetings. Russians began to be invited only in the post-Soviet era. Members of the Bilderberg Club from Russia in different years were Sergei Guriev, Grigory Yavlinsky, Alexei Mordashov, L. Shevtsova. A. Chubais attended the meetings twice: in 1998 in Scotland and in 2012. This concludes the composition of the Bilderberg Club participants from Russia. So far, the most influential people do not invite Russians to every meeting.

Russian economist S. Guriev was invited to the club meeting in 2015. The former rector of NES immediately said that he could not talk about the content of the discussions, according to the rules of the club, and that this was not the first invitation, it was just that he had been busy during the days of the meeting. In 2013, Guriev moved to France for permanent residence, fearing persecution in his homeland because of his political activities. "The case of experts" was widely known. Economist Guriev was one of those who participated in the examination.

Grigory Yavlinsky, a Russian and Soviet politician, economist and founder of the Yabloko party, was also invited to the 1998 meeting of the World's Most Powerful People. At the same time, the meeting was attended by Lilia Shevtsova, a political scientist, doctor of historical sciences and author of numerous publications on socio-political topics, as well as Anatoly Chubais, chairman of the board of Rosnano, general director of the Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies, an active participant in the socio-political life of Russia, an ideologist and leader of the economic reforms of the nineties, the reform of the electricity sector in the early 2000s.

Alexei Mordashov was invited in 2011. This is a Russian entrepreneur, billionaire, owner of PJSC Seversal. In addition, Alexei Mordashov owns a 25% stake in the Tui travel company (Germany). The entrepreneur is one of the most quoted and recognizable Russian businessmen in the world, is fluent in English and German, was recognized as the best speaker of the global steel industry in 2015.

Club meeting in 1998

The meeting, to which a record number of representatives from Russia were invited, took place in 1999 in Scotland (South Ayrshire). The meeting was attended by the President of the Bank "Austria" Freemason G. Randa, Federal Chancellor of Austria F. Vranitsky, former NATO Secretary General Lord Peter Carrington, US mediator in the Balkans R. Holbrook and others. The composition of the Bilderberg Club participants from Russia at the 1998 meeting was as follows: Anatoly Chubais, Lilia Shevtsova, Grigory Yavlinsky.

The problems of Kosovo, the European-Atlantic Union, Japan (regarding the plans for the creation of the Asian Union) were discussed. There are opinions that in the event of a settlement of the conflict in Kosovo, the club members planned to start a war between Greece and Turkey in Cyprus. Even then, the subsequent increased interest in the economic development of Japan was determined, as well as the need for a process of expanding cooperation between Europe and the United States into a single monetary, trade and political union.

Club meeting in 2011

The Bilderberg Club (Russia was represented at meetings in 1998, 2011 and 2015) met in Switzerland in 2011. The meeting was attended by representatives of Belgium, China, Germany, Finland, Austria, Sweden, France, Great Britain, USA, Turkey, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Spain, Ireland, Greece, Italy, Canada, as well as international organizations: EU President R. Herman Wang, President of the EU Central Bank Trichet Jean-Claude, Executive Director of the UN Food Program Chiran Josette, Vice President of the EU Commission Cruz Nely.

Bilderberg 2015: topics and participants

In 2015, the Bilderberg Group met in the small Austrian town of Telfs-Buchen. The conference was attended by about one hundred and forty people. The delegation from the States traditionally became the largest in composition, representatives of the Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain, Russia and so on were also present. The main topics proposed for discussion were information security, the fight against the terrorist threat, elections in the United States, globalization and the strategies of the EU, the problem of the use of chemical weapons. The participants planned to discuss the affairs of Iran, Greece, Russia and the Middle East. Nothing more is known about the forum, because the participants do not expand on the topics of discussions, and reports are distributed only between those present and those invited from previous years.

Meeting in Virginia, USA, 2017

Meetings of the Bilderberg Club in recent years have been covered by Valentin Katasonov. The sixty-fifth meeting was held in the small town of Chantilly in Virginia, USA, at the Westfields Marriott Hotel. Previously, the club met in this city three times, given that the participants of the meetings prefer to change location, this is an absolute record. The most influential businessmen and politicians discussed the proliferation of nuclear weapons, the situation in China and current events in the world, the Middle East and the role of the Russian Federation in the world order, information wars, populism, the slowdown in globalization, NATO activities and the development of the EU.

The main topic was the report of the administration of the forty-fifth US president on the work done. The demand for a report came just four months after Trump moved into the White House - perhaps the creators of the forum are not satisfied with the behavior of the new president? Trump's work was reported by Junior US Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, Assistant to the President and head of the Center for Strategic Initiatives Christopher Liddell, National Security Council member Nadia Shadlow, and National Security Adviser G. McMaster. Virginia Senator Terry McAuliffe may have attended.

A very large group of participants are investment fund bankers and private financial institutions. Representatives of German, Spanish, French, Dutch, British and Swedish banks, insurance companies, investment funds and other organizations were present. Some participants of the meeting preferred not to disclose either names or biographies. Additional investigative journalism suggests that representatives of leading Wall Street and London banks were present at the meeting. Many invitees are on the boards of directors of several (sometimes several dozen) commercial organizations.

In 2018, the club met in Italy (Turin). On the eve of the 2018 World Cup, they discussed the problem of inequality, quantum computing, artificial intelligence and the future of jobs, free trade and global leadership of the States, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Iran, the post-truth era and current events in the world. Many topics are repeated from year to year, but there are also new things to discuss. The participants did not have pre-agreed positions, and it is not known what conclusions the participants came to.

A lot of different material can be found on the Internet about Bilderberg. Someone argues that the club is yesterday, they say, it has already passed the apogee of its influence on world processes.

Others, on the contrary, believe that the very composition of the participants in the annual congress of "teammates" speaks in favor of the enduring influence of the Bilderberg Club.

In order not to be accused of supporting conspiracy theories, I probably would not have published anything at all about this if, during my search, famous names of people had not caught my eye, some of which are still extremely popular in liberal circles today.

I read the following in the Newsland portal: in 1954" ... a quota for representation in the organization was set:

of the 343 permanent members, 128 seats are given to the United States, with the remaining seats distributed between Europe and the Southeast

Asia (120 and 95 seats respectively). Non-members of the club are also invited to separate meetings. So, it is considered that

1998 represented Russia at the Bilderberg Club Anatoly Chubais who was then Deputy Prime Minister.

True, there are no documentary facts of his presence at that meeting. Previously invited members

Bilderberg was also called the Russians Grigory Yavlinsky and Chairman of the Presidium of the Council for Foreign and

Russian defense policy Sergei Karaganov. However, in this case, documentary evidence of their presence on

there are no meetings. "

The club's website itself is extremely concise. They say that the guest lists are open to journalists. But there are no links in the headings. In general, guests come to meetings exclusively as private individuals. Understood the hint.

Then, to get acquainted with the history and activities of this very difficult organization, I chose a reliable, from my point of view, source: the French journalist Thierry Meyssan. His agency "Voltaire" successfully cooperates with "Komsomolskaya Pravda", the following article was published there.

So the article Survey. bilderberg club"

Every year since 1954, about a hundred of the most influential people from the United States and Western Europe have gathered under heavy guard and in an atmosphere of the strictest secrecy at a convention of the so-called Bilderberg Group.

The meetings last three days, and no information about the issues discussed is leaked to the outside world.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, journalists became interested in this elite organization. Some even saw in it the embryo of a world government and attributed to the Bilderberg Club all the major political, military, economic and cultural decisions of the second half of the 20th century. In any case, this is how Fidel Castro interpreted the meaning of this mysterious structure, although this hypothesis has remained neither refuted nor proven.

In order to understand what the Bilderberg Club is and what it is not, I studied a huge number of documents, interviewed a lot of witnesses, looked through all the archives from 1954 to 1966 inclusive, got acquainted with some later papers, talked personally with one of the old-timers of this organization, taking advantage of the fact that I have an old friendship with him. And without a doubt, no journalist, and certainly no author who wrote books on this topic, had access to such a volume of factual material.

Here is what I found and understood.

FIRST MEETING

The first congress of the Bilderberg Club brought together 70 people from 12 countries.

The three-day meeting lasted from May 29 to May 31, 1954 near the city of Arnhem (Netherlands). The invitees were accommodated in two nearby hotels, and the meetings themselves took place at the Bilderberg Hotel, which was immortalized in the name of the group.

The invitations, printed on the letterhead of the Dutch Royal Palace Soestdijk, looked more than mysterious: “I would be very grateful to you for attending an informal international congress that will be held in the Netherlands at the end of the month of May. This congress will discuss issues of exceptional importance for the entire Western civilization, and its purpose is to strengthen mutual disposition and mutual understanding in the mode of free exchange of views. At the bottom was the signature of Bernhard zur Lippe-Biesterfeld, Prince Consort of Holland. The invitation was accompanied by several pages with information about accommodation and transfer. The only thing that could be understood from these papers was that the invitees were coming from the USA and 11 countries of Western Europe, and that the schedule of events consisted of 6 sessions of 3 hours each.

Given Prince Bernard's Nazi past (he served in the SS cavalry until his marriage to Princess Juliana in 1937) and the historical context of McCarthyism, it is not hard to guess that the issues "important to Western civilization" concerned the fight against communism.

Upon arrival, the invitees found themselves under the tutelage of two hosts of the event:

American businessman John S. Coleman and Belgian Foreign Minister Paul van Zeeland. The first was a supporter of the free market, the second was a patriot of the European Defense Community (CED). On the podium with them sat Joseph Retinger, eminence grise of the British.

All this would suggest that the event was sponsored by the British and Dutch monarchies in order to support the Defense Community and the economic model of free capitalism in their fight against communist and Gaullist anti-Americanism.

However, appearances can be deceiving. And it was not at all about a campaign in support of the Defense Community, but about the mobilization of elites for the Cold War.

HRH Prince Bernard was chosen as the host because his status as Prince Consort gave the event a state dimension despite its unofficial nature. At the same time, the real customer - an interstate organization that intended to manipulate the governments of its member countries - remained in the shadows.

John Coleman was not yet Chairman of the US Chamber of Commerce, but had already created the Citizen's Committee for a National Trade Policy (CCNTP). In his opinion, a free market without any restrictions - up to the waiver of customs duties - will allow the countries allies of the United States to increase their wealth and finance the European Defense Community. In other words, it will provide an opportunity to re-arm Germany and integrate its potential military power into the NATO system.

Documents show that in the Citizens Committee on National Trade Policy, only the word itself comes from "civilian". In fact, this organization was the fruit of a private initiative of Charles D. Jackson (Charles D. Jackson), White House adviser on psychological warfare. It was led by William J. Donovan, former commander of the Office of Strategic Services (a joint intelligence service created by the United States during World War II).

It was he who was entrusted with the task of creating the American offshoot of NATO's new secret service, the Gladio network.

And Paul Van Zeeland was not only the ideologist of the European Defense Community, but also an experienced politician. He led the European League for Economic Cooperation (LICE), whose goal was to create customs and monetary unity. The organization in question itself was created by the previously mentioned Joseph Retinger.

Incidentally, Retinger, head of the secretariat of the Bilderberg Congress, served during the war in the Special Operations Executive (SOE) under General Colin Gubbins. Then this Polish adventurer worked as an adviser to the government of Sikorsky, who was in Great Britain. Living in London, he inspired all the governments in exile stationed there to exploits, thanks to which he compiled for himself the most luxurious notebook of liberated Europe.

His friend Sir Gubbins officially left Special Operations (which ended the organization) to run a small carpet and textile business that served as a front for him.

Together with his colleague Donovan, he worked on the creation of the English Gladio network, participated in all the preparatory meetings of the Bilderberg Congress and was present there as a guest - his seat was next to Charles D. Jackson.

Thus, unbeknownst to the audience, the secret services of the NATO countries were the inviting party, and Bernard, Colman and Van Zeeland served as a screen for the event.

NATO DECIDES EVERYTHING

And whatever impressionable journalists fantasize about, Bilderberg was not an attempt to create a secret world government. It was a club of powerful people lobbying for the interests of the North Atlantic Alliance, which is much more serious and dangerous, because NATO itself claims to be a secret world government that guarantees the immutability of the international statu quo and the unrelenting influence of the United States.

Nuance: the security of all subsequent meetings will be provided not by the police of the host country, but by the soldiers of the alliance.

Among the ten official speakers were very famous people:

two former prime ministers, Frenchman Guy Mollet and Italian Alcide de Gasperi, three Marshall Plan leaders, Cold War hawk Paul H. Nitze, and influential financier David Rockefeller.

According to the documents, only 20 participants were "in the know." They knew who was in charge of the game and, accordingly, could think over their actions in advance. All the smallest details were carefully worked out, no improvisation was expected. The remaining 50 people, on the contrary, had no idea about anything. They were chosen according to the degree of their possible influence on governments and public opinion in their countries of residence. That is, the seminar was organized in order to convince the invitees of the correctness of certain attitudes, and to encourage them to subsequently voluntarily propagate the points of view that are desirable for dissemination.

At those first meetings, it was not at all about global international problems. Mostly they analyzed the alleged ideological strategies that the Soviet Union would set in motion, and the means of protecting the "free world" from them.

From the very beginning, the theme of the danger of communism was pedaled. In conversations, "convinced communists" appeared as people who intended to force their countries to serve the Soviet Union in order to impose the idea of ​​collectivism on the world. They needed to be stopped. The struggle was difficult, because "convinced communists" are scattered all over Europe and dissolved in a mass of naive voters who are unaware of the gloomy prospect that awaits them, but simply want a better standard of living.

Then the rhetoric became tougher: the “free world” must fight the “global communist conspiracy” not only in words, but also with the help of concrete measures such as American financial injections into Europe and decolonization.

Finally, the speakers got to the key issue that the Soviet Union, in their opinion, uses for its own purposes: due to cultural and historical differences, the political leaders of the "free world" use different methods and arguments in the US and Europe, and sometimes these arguments contradict each other. The clearest example is the purges organized by Senator McCarthy in the US: they are necessary to save democracy, but in Europe they are perceived as a manifestation of totalitarianism.

The final chord sounded distinctly - no diplomatic bargaining and no compromises with the "Reds" are possible. We must at all costs prevent the spread of their influence in Western Europe, but we will have to be cunning. Since it is impossible to imprison or shoot everyone, the communists will have to be neutralized implicitly, so that even their voters will not suspect anything.

That is, the ideological position of NATO and Gladio was voiced. At the same time, not a word was said about the fact that the election results can be rigged, and objectionable ones can be killed, but all participants agreed that in order to save the “free world”, the word “freedom” should be put in quotation marks.

Despite the fact that the notorious European Defense Community ordered to live long three months after the first Bilderberg (the initiative failed miserably in the French parliament due to pressure from communist deputies and "nationalist extremists", that is, the Gaullists), the congress as a whole was recognized as successful. Because, contrary to what it might seem, his goal was not at all to create a Community or any other political organization, but to spread the necessary ideology within the ruling class, which, through its representatives, was to be broadcast to the whole society. Western Europeans became less and less aware of the fact that they were being deprived of their freedoms, while they were more and more informed about what freedoms Eastern Europeans were deprived of.

Etienne Davignon, Belgian businessman, former Vice President of the European Commission (1981-1985) and current Vice President of Suez-Tractebel;

Henry Kissinger, former US National Security Advisor, US Secretary of State, one of the central figures of the American military-industrial complex, now president of the consulting company Kissinger Associates;

David Rockefeller, a descendant of the famous dynasty of financiers, is one of the oldest members of the club. He is also the honorary chairman of the Trilateral Commission, a Bilderberg-like structure that includes the countries of Asia.

STAND ON THE WING

It became clear that the conference would be annual and that a permanent secretariat was needed. Over time, Prince Bernard had to go into the shadows, after he got caught in influence trading (Lockheed-Martin corruption scandal). He was replaced as helmsman by former British Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home (Alec Douglas Home 1977-80), then former Chancellor and President of Germany Walter Scheel (Walter Scheel 1981-85), former head of the Bank of England Eric Roll (Eric Roll 1986-89 ), former NATO Secretary General Peter Carrington (Peter Carrington 1990-98), and, finally, former Vice President of the European Commission Etienne Davignon (Etienne Davignon since 1999).

For a long time, each president of the Bilderberg Congress had two general secretaries: one dealt with Europe and Canada (vassal countries), the other with the United States (suzerain country). But since 1999, the Secretary General has been left alone.

As the years passed, the debate became more and more colorful, the list of invitees changed constantly, but the core that was involved in the preparation of the conference remained unchanged. And its members patiently hammered into the newcomers pro-Atlantic rhetoric, in keeping with the spirit of the times.

Now about 120 people are participating in the seminars, a third of which is the very backbone. Key figures are selected by the Alliance according to the level of their personal connections and ability to influence, regardless of their position. Therefore, the elect remain in the ranks, even if they change jobs.

In recent years, the number of topics covered during the annual seminars has begun to increase in proportion to the growth in the number of international issues. All this does not explain anything to us, because the discussions do not have a specific meaning. They are carried out in order to carry out an implicit broadcast of the necessary installations. Unfortunately, we do not have the latest documents, so we can only guess what directives the North Atlantic Alliance is trying to spread through its agents of influence.

OBAMA AND CLINTON AGREE IN THE CLUB?

But the reputation of the Bilderberg Group today is such that they are credited with almost world domination, which, of course, is nonsense. Such conjectures only obscure the essence - genuine puppeteers are sitting in NATO.

For example, there were persistent rumors that during the last presidential race, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton disappeared for the day on June 6, 2008, to discuss the finale of their rivalry away from witnesses. They actually went to the annual Bilderberg workshop in Chantilly, Virginia, USA. And the next day, Mrs. Clinton announced that she was withdrawing from the race, from which some analysts concluded that the decision was made by the Bilderberg meeting. But that doesn't make any sense, since the outcome of the race was clear three days earlier in the number of votes that Senator Obama won in the Democratic Party committee vote.

According to our sources, it was different: Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton signed a financial and political agreement that day. Senator Obama added to his rival's coffers and offered her a post in his administration (Ms. Clinton turned down the vice presidency and chose the post of secretary of state) in exchange for her support in the fight against the Republican candidate. The two leaders were then introduced by James A. Johnson to the members of the Bilderberg workshop, where they were assured that they would work together. By the way, Barack Obama was originally a NATO candidate - Mr. Obama and his family have previously collaborated with the CIA and the Pentagon, moreover, the first contributions to his election campaign were made by the English crown through businessman Nadmi Auchi (Nadhmi Auchi). Thus, by introducing the black senator to the Bilderbergers, the Alliance provided the future US president with the international connections he needed.

Many misinterpreted the report that the Bilderberg Group organized an impromptu dinner outside of the official schedule during a seminar on November 14, 2009 at the Val Duchesse castle, owned by the King of Belgium. Former Belgian Prime Minister Herman von Rompuy delivered a speech at the dinner and was elected President of the European Union five days later. Some writers have concluded that the club "crowns kings".

But the President of the European Union could not be elected outside of NATO, because - we remind you - the European Union is a product of the Marshall Plan. And such an appointment cannot but be sanctioned by the member states of the alliance. Such decisions are discussed for a long time and are certainly not made as a result of a friendly dinner.

According to our records, Bilderberg Group President Etienne Davignon called an emergency dinner to introduce Herman Van Rompuy to those who passed on the baton of influence to him. This was necessary because the person who was the first to assume the new position of President of the European Council was completely unknown outside his country.

During the dinner, Mr. Van Rompuy outlined his program for creating a European tax, which was supposed to directly finance the structures of the European Union, without referring to its members.

Experienced Bilderbergers had only to repeat later that they knew Herman Van Rompuy and confirmed that he had the qualities necessary to lead the Union.

Thus, the aura of the Bilderberg group is not at all as romantic as some authors imagine it to be. And the military protection of an unheard-of scope is designed not so much to protect the participants of the congress as to impress newcomers, who should not be imbued with a sense of their own power, but absorb the information that only the West, or rather NATO, is truly powerful. And on the basis of this information, make a decision to continue to support the alliance and be supported by it, or take the path of confrontation and be defeated.

When the Bilderberg Group promoted anti-communist rhetoric, it was not against the USSR, just as today the Congress is not against Russia. The club follows the strategy of the Alliance, which does not intrigue against Moscow, but protects and expands Washington's zone of influence. Even when NATO was created, it was assumed that the Soviet Union would join it. Which would mean Moscow's consent to the division of the world, formalized during the conferences in Potsdam and Yalta.

Not so long ago, the Alliance received Dmitry Medvedev at a summit in Lisbon, and he was again invited to join NATO. It was not about submission - it meant only the recognition of a new world order, in which all of central and eastern Europe becomes a satellite of the United States. Thus, the accession of Russia would mean the conclusion of a peace treaty: Moscow once and for all recognizes defeat in the Cold War and agrees to the existing partition peace.

In this case, the Bilderberg Group would also invite Russians to its annual conferences (according to KP, Anatoly Chubais and Grigory Yavlinsky have already attended meetings of the Bilderberg Club in different years. - Ed.). And the task of the Russians would not be to Americanize their compatriots - they would simply have to convince their fellow citizens once and for all to give up their dreams of the greatness of their country.

Conspiracy thinking is the ability of consciousness to notice hidden meanings, secret hints, mysterious patterns and a double bottom in everything. Jewish conspiracy, Masonic conspiracy, conspiracy of billionaires, conspiracy of NATO members... For people who have such a view of the world, the Bilderberg Club is the embodiment of a nightmare simply by the fact of its existence.

Why is the club called Bilderberg?

However, at one time there was a popular joke: even if you still do not mean that you are not being followed. The fact that conspiracy theorists and their eternal readiness to suspect everyone and everything is laughed at does not mean that conspiracies do not exist or cannot exist, at least as an exception to the rule. Indeed, nothing prevents people from weaving conspiracies. If a couple of deputies can agree and sit the boss, then why should members of the Bilderberg Club be deprived of this right? There is no reason to restrict their rights and freedoms.

The mysterious club owes its name to the Bilderberg Hotel, located in Holland. It was there in the distant 1954 that the first meeting of the financial and political elite of the planet took place. Of course, it would be interesting to know who exactly came up with the idea to gather the most influential people on Earth in one place, and why this was done.

Facts and sources

Perhaps this meeting was planned as a one-time action, and no one was going to create the Bilderberg Club. The composition of the informal conference remained unknown to the public, which is quite logical - secrecy, after all. But, despite all efforts, it is impossible to completely hide from the attention of reporters the unique concentration of celebrities in a single hotel. Therefore, at least indirectly, the information comes. Kings and directors, presidents and chancellors, bankers and prime ministers, the largest oligarchs - this is the expected composition. The Bilderberg Club unites, according to rumors, about 400 people. The exact figure given by various sources is 383 participants. Although, of course, it is curious, where does such detail come from when it comes to a closed society? These are not time sheets at the factory.

This is the beauty of such a large and significant secret organization as the Bilderberg Club: the composition is unknown, what they do is unknown, what the goals are also unknown. All information available to the public comes from sources that are not very trustworthy and frankly smack of cheap tabloid yellowness. These same people regularly uncover communist, monopoly and even Zionist conspiracies, which is absolutely bad taste even in this environment. Where did the informants get this information? How did they get them? Why were these odious individuals suddenly entrusted with telling the world about the secrets of the club? There are no answers to these questions. But the fact remains. The only data on the meetings of the mysterious organization comes from such dubious sources, which automatically discredits the very concept. After all, even the most serious problem will seem strange and far-fetched if the city madman at the metro station broadcasts about it. It's not about the content, it's about the presentation.

Research History

One of the first to talk about the mysterious club was L. Gonzalez-Math, a former CIA officer. Perhaps everything he wrote is the crystal truth. But what is the likelihood that a former CIA officer will divulge classified data? Doesn't anyone in this organization take an oath of non-disclosure? And why did the all-powerful club that rules the planet allow this book to be published? Maybe, of course, in this way the organization wanted to declare itself. But why is it done so exotically? Wouldn't it have been better to publish the memorandum in The Times?

David Rothkopf, Pierre and Daniel de Villemare, William Wolf - these people seem to exist in a vacuum. Historians, researchers, they are not seen in anything significant, except for writing devastating revelations of the secret society. The whole truth about Bilderberg is their main contribution to science and journalism. Again, it is possible that these are enthusiastic people who are simply not interested in everything else, fanatics of one topic. Therefore, there are no other achievements in their scientific and literary practice. Or perhaps these are just unscrupulous researchers speculating on a hot and, importantly, absolutely unverifiable and, by definition, unproven topic.

Unfortunately, it is precisely such topics that are a gold mine for pseudo-researchers of all stripes, who care only about their own popularity and income.

Latest investigations

Now the research is being done by a certain Tony Gosling, who created a thematic site, and Jim Tucker, who is the editor of the American Free Press - an extremely conservative persuasion. They rely on data received from assistants, secretaries, assistants to members of the organization. Is this data verifiable? By definition, no. Is there a high probability that this information is simply made up by either the information providers or the researchers? If, say, we take into account the fact that information about the personal life of the Queen of Britain and her family members is kept secret quite successfully, and the attendants of Buckingham Palace are not talkative, then the English monarchy could really cope with this task, but the powerful Bilderberg club? The composition of the organization does not control its subordinates so much, while easily managing the fate of the planet? There is a logical contradiction in this.

Real facts

What is the true information about the organization known as the Bilderberg Club: the composition (at least in general terms, not completely and without knowing who performs what function), the place of gathering (only after the meeting), some rather rare messages and statements people who are members of the club. That, perhaps, is all.

The club has about 400 members, but not all of these people come to the meetings. Usually at meetings there are, according to various sources, from 120 to 140 people. Who exactly is unknown, the participants can tell about the fact of attending the meeting only after visiting the club. Moreover, they mention only their attendance at the meeting, and not about the topics that were discussed there.

Gatherings are held every year, usually in May or June. The meeting place changes every time. Cities and countries, hotels and castles... It is impossible to keep secret the simultaneous visit of hundreds of representatives of the world elite, but in the 4 days that the meeting lasts, no one simply has time to really scout anything. The doors behind which the mighty of this world communicate are firmly closed.

That, in fact, is all. The secrets of the Bilderberg Club are kept securely by its members from prying eyes and ears.

Club members

According to unconfirmed rumors, members of the Bilderberg Club are or at least were Bill Clinton, Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair, Henry Kissinger, representatives of the Rockefeller clan, Zbigniew Brzezinski. As for the Rockefellers, they themselves repeatedly confirmed the fact of involvement in the mysterious community.

Although articles periodically appear that Clinton lost power precisely because they refused to comply with the decisions of a secret organization, and Kennedy was so dangerous that it was decided to eliminate him.

Some representatives of the Russian political elite are also members of the Bilderberg Club. The composition of the participants in the meeting, which took place in 1997 in Turnbury, assumed the presence of Chubais, Shevtsova and Yavlinsky. At the same time, there is no confirmed information about membership in Yeltsin's club. Either he was considered untrustworthy and without real power, or Yeltsin simply did not consider it necessary to mention this side of his life.

In light of this, many are wondering what is the relationship between the Bilderberg Club and Putin?

The connection of the Russian leader with the club

This issue is also far from clear. According to some, Putin has long been a member of the club. Hence the influence and weight on the world stage. Everything that Putin does is part of a general secret plan. There is no confrontation between Russia and the West, Russia and Europe. There is a script with an unknown ending, compiled behind the closed doors of the Bilderberg Club. Any move by either Putin or Obama or other leaders is just part of one complex, mysterious performance.

But there is also an opposite point of view, according to which the Bilderberg Club and Putin are in strict opposition. The President of the Russian Federation is opposed to the plans of a secret society, and everything that is happening now is the result of an unceasing struggle. Bilderberg wants to enslave Russia, and Putin is doing everything to resist this.

True, there is another option. Like any sane people (and only they can achieve success, especially such a significant one), members of the club and Putin can talk and agree, come to a common decision, yielding in something, softening something, showing something integrity. Surely, after all, each of the participants in the secret society has its own, personal interests. And he partially satisfies them, including through the influence of the club. And partly sacrifices, refuses certain plans for the sake of agreement with others Reasonable compromise is the basis for the existence of any successful organization. Why shouldn't Putin and the Bilderberg Club engage in a mutually beneficial dialogue? It would be so natural.

Possible goals of the club

Data on the activities of the mysterious organization is equally contradictory. Of course, conspiracy theorists claim that this mysterious conglomeration of world leaders rules the world. This is quite possible, given the traditional composition of an organization such as the Bilderberg Club. Photographers captured Bill Gates, Donald Graham, Henry Kissinger, and Roger Altman.

The Balkan crisis and the fall of Milosevic, the invasion of Iraq and the rise in oil prices, the creation of a single European currency and the triumph of the US dollar - members of a powerful organization are blamed for all these and many other events. And this is also quite possible. The scale of influence of these people is such that, by joining forces, they are able to direct social processes in one direction or another. They have the power to push public opinion, talk with politicians, finance certain actions and events. Separately, such tremors can change little on a global scale. But if you act in concert, for the benefit of a common goal, and even from such significant positions, then the possibilities of influence open up truly limitless. And conspiracy theorists have every reason to worry: is this the new, as yet, secret world government? Bilderberg fits that description perfectly.

There is another option, less effective. It suggests a banal oligarchic conspiracy of unprecedented proportions. In fact, this conspiracy concept is not that different from the behind-the-scenes government version. But the goal is different: not power and reforms aimed at achieving a certain social result, but the usual desire to earn as much money as possible, raised to an unthinkable degree. World history knows many cases when wars started for the sake of money. Let's say this is how Napoleon filled the treasury of France, which was empty after the Revolution - and this is a very altruistic example. The actions of the Bilderberg Club are unlikely to be so noble.

Bilderberg version

The members of the club themselves claim that at their meetings they simply discuss current political and financial issues, and they do not always agree in opinion, the composition of the organization is too motley. The Bilderberg Club is simply a meeting place for influential people, where they can discuss all the important and relevant topics.

To meet two respectable people, you need to select apartments, rent planes, look for time in a busy schedule. And if there are more than two of these gentlemen and ladies? If there are three, four, ten? The greater the number of people with whom you need to discuss important issues, the more difficult the task. Therefore, the ideal solution is to simply arrange a general meeting in advance and already there to communicate with those who are needed, on all topics of interest.

A perfectly logical explanation. Its only drawback is that it does not refute the conspiracy theories associated with the existence of the club. Indeed, one can meet every spring to discuss collections of stamps and coins, but then why such secrecy? Why put up police and security guards that far exceed the usual requirements of reasonable security? If people do not need to know what exactly is being discussed at club meetings, then it is either something deeply personal or something that will displease the public.

Actually, some Bilderbergers confirm this. They openly declare that club meetings are an opportunity to determine development paths, bypassing the national interests of individual countries. Sounds great. But whose interests are taken into account then? General welfare? Or the members themselves of the organization known as Bilderberg? Russia is hardly an exception in this respect. It represents too significant a force on the world stage. The leadership of the country cannot be outside this organization - otherwise the very supranational idea of ​​the club loses its meaning.

Although the true goals of the organization are unknown, the very fact of exceptional secrecy makes humanity look at it with suspicion.

Are the conspiracy theorists' fears justified?

There is nothing to suggest that the secrets of the Bilderberg Club are dictated by the need to hide conspiracies. But nothing proves otherwise. There is no information at all. People gather every year, meet behind closed doors. What are they discussing there? Anything. From plans to take over the world to culinary recipes. There is no objective reason to believe that the closedness of the club is caused by anything else than a desire for privacy. Maybe the audience indulges in secret vices and depravity, and does not at all share a percentage of the sale of the Earth to aliens. But the way a person works is that the mere sight of doors slammed in front of his nose makes you suspect the worst. “If they don’t let me go somewhere, it means that they are preparing some kind of filth, moreover, personally intended for me,” this is exactly what almost everyone thinks when faced with a closed post on an always open blog or discovering that a spouse hastily erases incoming SMS messages. There are no grounds for such suspicions. Maybe the SMS is really just a meaningless advertisement, and in closed posts the author discusses his personal life with his closest friends. But the thought still arises! And getting rid of suspicion is already very difficult. Even if the next time the SMS will be read, and the record will be opened ... Who knows what was in those, in the previous ones? Maybe the worst has already happened.

But even if the Bilderberg Club begins to invite the press to every meeting, suspicions will not go anywhere. Yes, they do not discuss it here and now. But maybe in another place and at another time?

Of course, such skepticism about endless conspiracies does not mean that Bilderberg is the epitome of innocence. But it is necessary to clearly distinguish between groundless suspicions, the only basis for which is the club's closed door, and objective facts, on which, in fact, any accusations should be based. This must be done not out of abstract justice, but to preserve a clear objective picture of the world.

In the meantime, the elite club keeps its secrets, and the whole planet, with bated breath, is trying to guess what happens behind these closed doors. Masonic conspiracy? Or is it a recipe exchange? Alien mysteries are so fascinating...

The Bilderberg Club is considered one of the most powerful unofficial clubs on the planet, which is often called the world government in the press. Every year this famous conference is attended by dozens of influential politicians, businessmen, scientists, representatives of aristocratic families, as well as heads of major banks, corporations and leading media. Meetings are usually held in May-June with unprecedented security measures under the supervision of intelligence agencies. No one knows the exact dates of the next meeting, except for the organizers.

Secret Bilderberg

Despite the fact that the meeting of the mighty of this world is unofficial and shrouded in a veil of secrecy (it is not announced, the disclosure of any information is prohibited, and entry is possible only by individual invitations), after each meeting of the club, the media are full of details. However, it is often difficult to make out where in these publications is truth and where is fiction.

The first meeting took place in May 1954 in the Dutch city of Oosterbeek, at the Bilderberg Hotel. Hence the name of the club, founded by American foundations - Rockefeller, Carnegie and Ford. All three formally seek to establish cooperation between the countries of the world. It is this goal, in one form or another, that is spelled out in the statutes of these organizations. However, no one, except the members of the club, knows for sure what tasks the Bilderbergers actually set for themselves. Political scientist Robert Ernove, in his book Charitable and Cultural Imperialism, calls American foundations the soft power of elites. The power of foundations, in his opinion, lies in the fact that they stimulate the development of certain types of activities in which they are interested.

On the one hand, meetings of the Bilderberg Club, which have been informal since its inception, make it possible to establish not only business, but also friendly relations between the elites of America and Europe. On the other hand, this annual event, of course, is not just a friendly gathering. It discusses issues of world politics, finance, war and peace. Behind closed doors, decisions are made that in one way or another affect the course of world history.

Under the control of the CIA

As long as the Soviet Union existed, the key tasks on which the attention of the Bilderberg Group was focused were European integration, the creation of a unified European security system and opposition to the communist ideology alien to the capitalist countries. According to unofficial information, which was not refuted by any of the members of the club, the EU and the single European currency were created with the participation of the Bilderbergers. At the origins of this idea, as well as the club itself, was a British politician with Polish roots, Joseph Retinger.

This man, who in the late 1940s served as general secretary of the European Movement, associated with many influential European politicians, such as British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. About the organization headed by Retinger, as well as some of its kind, it is necessary to say separately.

In addition to the European Movement, at that time the European Youth, the American Committee for a United Europe, and a number of others also operated on the territory of European countries. According to unofficial information, the main sponsor of all these organizations that campaigned for European integration was the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The American-supported movements and clubs aimed to maintain control over the European elite. For this, according to some sources, the Alliance was created, later called the Bilderberg Group. The backbone of this organization was made up of American statesmen, bankers and industrialists, as well as pro-American minded Western European politicians and businessmen.

One of the ideologists of the creation of the Bilderberg Club, as mentioned above, was Joseph Retinger. In 1948 he participated in the Hague Congress, in 1952 he left his post in the European Movement and took up a new project - the creation of a debating club for the elites, the purpose of which would be to promote Western values. Retinger invited Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, wife of Queen Juliana, to head this unofficial organization. Bernard perfectly suited this role - he served on the boards of directors of the largest Western European corporations and had a lot of useful contacts, including with heads of state and prominent politicians. He later became a shareholder in the Rothschild oil company Royal Dutch Shell. The founders of the Bilderberg Club were not embarrassed that in the 1930s, Bernard was a member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) and its paramilitary wing, Hitler's bodyguard - the SS. However, during World War II, the prince participated in the fight against Nazi Germany, being at that time a citizen of the Netherlands.

The first founding meeting of the Bilderberg Club was attended by 80 people, Edmund Rothschild and Lawrence Rockefeller played the first violin, choosing the members of the club. The group's steering committee included representatives from the Rothschilds, the Schroeder Bank, The New York Times, London's Royal Institute of International Affairs, and the CIA.

The main goals identified during the creation of the group were the formation of a single European state controlled by the United States, and the fight against the USSR as the main geopolitical adversary. One way or another, less than 40 years after the start of the club, the Soviet Union collapsed, and in the early 2000s, a single European currency was introduced for all EU countries.

Amazing Coincidences

Members of the Bilderberg Club gather once a year for four days, usually in May-June in luxury hotels or castles under heavy police and security guards. The meetings themselves are never announced, their agenda is not advertised in advance. About 130 people participate in each such meeting. The composition of participants is updated annually by about half. But there are also permanent members of the club, the backbone of which is made up of American and British bankers and politicians, such as former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger or former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan.

Such well-known figures as Bill Clinton, Angela Merkel, Gordon Brown, Ben Bernanke, George Soros, Donald Rumsfeld, Rupert Murdoch and many others took part in the meetings of the Bilderberg Group at different times. For a long time, the oldest and most influential member of the club was the grandson of the founder of Standard Oil, David Rockefeller, who died in 2016 at the age of 102.

Last year, the meeting was held in Dresden from June 9 to 12, attended by politicians and businessmen from 20 countries. Recently, the Bilderbergers, apparently aware of the requirements of the new information age, began to publish the agenda of the meetings in the most lengthy formulations and even started their own website. But the details of the meetings are still not advertised, and the invited top managers of the most influential media (The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Bloomberg and others) keep their mouths shut. Among the guests were IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde, Henry Kissinger, German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen, Royal Dutch Shell CEO Ben van Beurden, BP head Robert Dudley and other influential and wealthy people.

During last year's meeting, issues of migration in Europe, the rise of China, the situation in the Middle East, US debt and energy prices were discussed. In particular, this could be about the expediency of geopolitical pressure on the PRC, the risks of European integration due to the migration crisis, relations with Russia against the backdrop of European business dissatisfaction with mutual sanctions. Moreover, the point about Russia, it seems, will remain on the agenda of the Bilderberg Group for a long time to come. One of the topics, according to unofficial data, was the presidential campaign in the United States, during which, as you know, Donald Trump won. Some foreign publications suggested that the Bilderbergers were betting on Hillary Clinton against Trump. At the same time, it was after a meeting with a businessman who later won the presidency that one of its most influential members, Kissinger, came to the meeting of the club in Dresden.

By the way, the theme of the presidential elections in the United States did not figure at all in the program of the meeting. In turn, the British newspaper Independent, after the meeting of the club, hinted that in this case one should not trust the official agenda too much. The publication recalled some of the “coincidences” associated with the Bilderberg Club that influenced the careers of famous politicians. Thus, Margaret Thatcher, invited to the meeting of the club in 1975 and liked by Rockefeller and Kissinger, became Prime Minister of Great Britain two years later. And the former governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton, who "checked in" at the club in 1991, was soon elected president of the United States. The Independent article also mentions the dizzying political career of Tony Blair, who in the mid-1990s became the youngest leader of the Labor Party in its history, and subsequently the record holder for the time at the head of this party.

Conspiracy theorists argue that the ultimate goal of the Bilderberg Group is to create a unified world government and eliminate Russia as a factor preventing Anglo-Saxon hegemony. However, there are no facts reliably confirming this information (however, as well as refuting it).

BILDERBERG CLUB

I would like to talk to you, - I heard someone's voice behind me.

I instinctively turned to the right, but saw no one. The man who craved my company stood behind me.

Don't get up, please, his shadow whispered. "Sorry, I'm not used to being commanded, especially by those I don't know," I answered decisively.

Mr. Estulin, we are sorry to invade your personal space, but the fact is that we would very much like to talk to you, - said the first man, languidly holding out his hand in the hope that I would dare to shake it. We ask you to be as reasonable as possible.

From his florid way of speaking, I understood that he had learned this kind of English at one of the elite British colleges, or perhaps studied with a personal teacher.

How do you know my name? I don't remember telling you.

We know enough about you, Mr. Estulin. I realized that my mysterious interlocutor was beginning to feel more and more relaxed in my presence.

Please, sit down, - I suggested more friendly, taking on a more free character of the conversation.

One of the men lowered his eyes, took a cigarette case from the pocket of his elegant jacket and began to study it.

I sat comfortably in a chair, waiting for one of the interlocutors to break the silence.

We know, for example, that you are here because of a Bilderberg meeting. That you've been following him for many years now. That somehow you manage to find out the exact place where it will take place long before the meeting itself, while most participants only learn about it a week before. That with all the confidentiality that we tend to, you seem to know what we are talking about and what our plans are. You, Mr. Estulin, began to influence the election of some of the participants in the meetings. At a certain point, we presumptuously decided that we had found your informant among us. If you were wrong in your predictions about us, this person would have serious personal problems. Fortunately for him, you predicted everything correctly.

He has a Kentish accent, I thought.

Where do you get information from? - asked the man accompanying my interlocutor.

It's a trade secret, I replied.

I took this moment to take a closer look at these types. The second man was broad-shouldered, fair-haired, with a thick mustache, huge, arched eyebrows, a small mouth that folded geometrically, forming something like a smile and betraying the nervous character of its owner. When he spoke, his large nose was visibly tense.

Behind us, mingling with a motley crowd of tourists from Wales, sat a bearded, hunched-over man in leather gloves and a traveling hat. He looked like a music lover, at least that's what a fat woman with a huge mole on her chin told everyone.

You are a real mystery.

My interlocutor changed the position of his long legs, thrust his right hand into his trousers pocket, allowing him to see the watch chain hanging from his vest, and said in an authoritative tone:

So tell me why are you following us? You don't work for any famous newspaper. Your articles disturb the members of the club. Some US congressmen and members of the Canadian Parliament have been forced to withdraw from our annual meeting because you published information about their participation.

You cannot defeat us. You can't do that," hissed the second subject. - The Bilderberg Club, Mr. Estulin, is a private forum whose members are influential representatives of our business community. We also invite some politicians who are valuable to us with their personal and professional experience. And we do all this with the hope of bringing together the needs of the peoples of the world and high-level politics. We are in no way trying to influence government policy or government decision making.

- Don't tell me stories!- I answered sharply and felt the muscles of my neck and arms tighten. You want me to believe that aliens killed Kennedy, Nixon was ousted by his own grandmother, and the 1973 oil crisis was provoked by Cinderella? If not for us, Canada would now be part of the great United States. Tell me why did you kill Aldo Moro?

You know we can't tell you anything, Mr. Estulin. I'm not here to argue with you.

At a round table by the window, two German tourists, an unemployed man with tearful eyes, and the bartender's cousin were playing cards enthusiastically.

At the next table sat an elderly, short-sighted man, bald and fat, who was wearing a gray oversized suit. He wore huge horn-rimmed glasses, and his red-cheeked face was hidden behind the shadow of what had been a long black beard. The portrait was completed by a greyish unkempt mustache. He ordered rum, filled his pipe, and absentmindedly watched the game.

At precisely 11:45 a.m., he cleared his pipe, put it in his trouser pocket, paid for the rum, and silently left.

I usually refrain from making such promises, especially when it comes to Bilderberg.

I myself was surprised at my words, reveling in this confrontation in the expectation that the first type would lose their nerves.

He ranted for several minutes about the benefits of cooperation between nations, about the starving children of Africa and other similar problems that serve as a cover for the unseemly activities of the Bilderberg Club.

I tried to focus on what he was saying, but soon caught myself thinking that I was involuntarily considering the second subject. He smiled absently, occasionally biting his mustache.

We are ready to compensate you for the lost time, Mr. Estulin. What are your conditions?

The huge moon illuminated the trees. In the dark, the glow of traffic lights seemed especially bright. There was noise from nearby restaurants, dogs barking somewhere. For a few minutes, all three of us were silent.

I noticed that the second subject, leaning against the back of the chair, found silence difficult. I had no doubt that he was considering the next question or witty comment. The first man turned the cigarette in his hands, thinking about something. It seemed that he was looking at a cigarette, but in fact his eyes went somewhere into the void.

I am prepared to remain silent on the condition that I want future Bilderberg meetings to be reported publicly, with free access to any journalist who would like to attend. The content of all conferences must be made public, as should the list of participants. And finally, refuse the services of the CIA, weapons, dogs, your own security and, most importantly, secrecy!

You know very well, Mr. Estulin, that we cannot agree to this. Much is at stake, and it is too late to make such changes.

Then, dear one, - I answered, - you will have to endure me to the end.

In the next hall, someone was playing the piano, muffled voices and children's laughter were heard. The shiny buttons of the first man's vest were reflected for a moment in the huge mirror.

Well, good night, mister Estulin.

The first type did not change his good manners for a moment. He really was refined in communication. "That's why they sent it," I suggested. Perhaps, under different circumstances, we could have become friends. The second type took a deep breath and, holding his hat in his hands, went after his boss.

Only two sleepy-looking women and a traveler with a dyed beard and a black velvet waistcoat over a white printed shirt remained in the hotel lobby.

"It's strange that I bother them so much," I thought. This moment was terrible. It was only then that I realized how serious it was. It wasn't just a conversation between club ambassadors and me. The two men crossed the square and disappeared into the night. I still had an unpleasant feeling from the meeting, although my determination was unshakable. I knew that from that moment on my life would be in constant danger.

Imagine a club whose members are the most famous royals, presidents, prime ministers and the world's most famous bankers. There, these powerful people who start wars, influence markets and dictate their orders to all of Europe, say things that they would never dare to say in public.

In this book, I am trying to prove that there is a whole network of secret societies whose goal is to subjugate free nations to their power through uniform international legislation with the help of the United Nations. This network is run by the most secret of the groups - the Bilderberg Club. The reason why no one wants to expose and confront this conspiracy, according to French journalist Thierry de Segonzac, co-president of the Federation of the Audiovisual and Multimedia Film Industry, is very simple: “The members of the Bilderberg Club are too powerful and ubiquitous. They don't want to be talked about like that."

Any regime change in the world, any intervention in the flow of capital, any changes in the state are approved if they are on the agenda of the participants at one of the club meetings. According to Denis Healy, former British Secretary of Defense, “In politics, nothing ever happens by chance. If something happens, it means that someone planned it. Most of the national and trade issues are directly handled by those who have the money.”

The members of the Bilderberg Club decide when wars should start (because they profit from each of these wars), how long they will last (Nixon and Ford were removed from their presidency because the Vietnam War ended too soon), when they should end ( the club planned the end of hostilities in Vietnam in 1978) and who should participate in them. Decisions about subsequent border changes are also made by Bilderberg members, and they are the ones who benefit from the reconstruction of destroyed countries. Bilderberg members “own” central banks and therefore determine interest rates, access to money, the price of gold, and which countries should get loans. By managing cash flows, Bilderberg members earn billions of dollars. Their only ideology is the dollar, their main passion is power!

Since 1954, members of the Bilderberg Club have been representatives of the elite of all Western countries (financiers, industrialists, bankers, politicians, leaders of transnational corporations, presidents, prime ministers, finance ministers, secretaries of state, representatives of the World Bank, WTO, IMF, heads of the media and military leaders) - meet in secret to discuss and reach agreement on a global strategy. All American presidents since Eisenhower have been members of the club. Among them are also Tony Blair; most of the members of the government of England; Lionel Jospin; Romano Prodi, former President of the European Commission; Mario Monti, European Competition Commissioner; Pascal Lamy, Commissioner for Trade; Jose Duran Barroso, head of the European Commission; Alan Greenspan, head of the Federal Reserve; Hillary Clinton; John Kerry; Anna Lindt, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Sweden; Melinda and Bill Gates; Henry Kissinger; the Rothschild dynasty; Jean-Claude Trichet, leader of the European Central Bank; Javier Solana, Secretary General of the Council of the European Union; financier George Soros, a speculator capable of causing a decline in the national currency for his own benefit; and all the royal families of Europe. In addition, the members of the club are the owners of major media outlets who control what can be read or seen: David Rockefeller; Conrad Black, the now-fallen former owner of 440 media outlets worldwide, from the Jerusalem Post to Canada's premier daily The National Post; Edgar Bronfman; Rupert Murdoch; Sumner Redston, director of Viacom. We are talking about an international conglomerate that virtually unites all significant segments of the industry. That is why you have never heard of Bilderberg before.

Whether in government or in big business - in any other organization that has power - you will find one common element - secrecy. Meetings of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, meetings of the G8 countries, the World Trade Organization, the Davos World Economic Forum, central banks, ministers of the European Union and the European Commission - these meetings are always held behind closed doors. The only reason that can exist for this is that they do not want me or you to become witnesses of what decisions are being made there. The now-classic "It's not for everyone" excuse really means they're "not interested" in making it available to the general public. But besides these formally public meetings, there are a number of private high-level meetings about which we know nothing at all.

the Davos World Economic Forum takes place in February; meeting of the G8 countries and the Bilderberg Club in April - May; annual conference of the World Bank / IMF - in September. All this leads to the achievement of a certain consensus on issues of international politics and finance, to the adoption of decisions that, at first glance, no one is behind. They form the basis of the economic reports of the G8 countries, are practically embodied in the implementation of programs to support Argentina and everything that the US President proposes for consideration in Congress.

2004 marks the 50th anniversary of the formation of the club, the official date of establishment of which is from 29 to 31 May 1954. This happened at the Bilderberg Hotel, in the Dutch city of Oosterbeek, which gave the society its name. The organizer of the event was the Dutch Prince Bernhard. The 1989 Bilderberg Minutes Journal states: “This first meeting revealed the growing concern of many eminent figures on both sides of the Atlantic that there was a lack of cohesion between Western Europe and the United States in matters of the utmost importance. This led to the conclusion that constant and confidential debate can help to bring about a better understanding of the forces that controlled the fate of the West in the difficult post-war period.

In the words of the founder, Prince Bernhard, each of the members is miraculously "released from their duties" by taking part in the meeting as "a simple citizen of their country for the duration of the entire congress."

One of the most influential members of the Bilderberg Club was Joseph Rettinger, a Jesuit priest and 33rd degree Freemason. It is about him that they speak as a real organizer and founder of the club. Surprisingly, very few intelligence agencies had known any information about Bilderberg until recently.

Lord Rothschild and Laurence Rockefeller, top members of some of the world's most powerful families, personally selected 100 members from the world's elite with the secret intention of changing Europe. As Giovanni Agnelli, the late president of Fiat, said: “Our goal is integration into Europe. Where politicians have failed, we industrialists will succeed.”

“No one is in politics. There are banal conversations, said Will Hutton, publisher of The London Observer, who took part in the 1997 meeting, "but the decisions that are made are behind the scenes of the politics that are carried out in the world."

Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, father of Queen Beatrix and a close friend of Prince Philip of Great Britain, adds that “when leaving the meeting, representatives of Western organizations leave with specific decisions made by the club. These discussions smooth out differences and allow a common solution to be reached.” Usually "almost completely by chance" after such decisions are made in pursuit of political and commercial interests, the powerful of this world through the media make sure that the policies of governments meet their requirements, even if this is not in the individual countries' own interests.

List of invitees

It is impossible to buy an invitation to one of the Bilderberg meetings, although many multinational companies have tried to do so. It is the board that decides who to invite. The one whom the London newspaper The Guardian calls a member of the Bilderberg Club has not changed in the last 50 years - a Fabian socialist, a supporter of a one world order.

According to one source from the club's board, "invitees must be alone, without wives, mistresses, husbands or suitors. “Personal escort” (heavily armed bodyguards, usually former members of the CIA, MI6 and Mossad, cannot attend conferences and must dine in a separate room. Even David Rockefeller’s personal assistant cannot accompany him during lunch. It is strictly forbidden to give interviews with journalists.

To maintain an aura of mystery, participants rent an entire hotel for the duration of the convention, usually for three or four days. CIA and Mossad agents are combing the most remote premises. The plan of the establishment is studied, the staff is checked, and anyone who arouses the slightest suspicion is immediately sent home.

“Police agents in black uniforms carefully check each of the service vehicles with dogs, and then escort the vehicles to the gate. Armed guards patrol the surrounding forests, while gorillas with microphones monitor all entrances and exits. Anyone who, without owning a piece of the globe, approaches the hotel, returns to where they came from, ”the source says.

The security of the participants and their entourage is provided by the government of the country where the conference takes place. This implies a large-scale deployment of troops, the presence of secret service agents, local and state police agents, and private security guards. Every possible measure is being taken to protect the secrecy and security of the all-powerful members of the world's elite. Those present are not required to comply with the rules and regulations that are obligatory for any other citizen of the world, such as following customs formalities and presenting visas. When meetings are taking place, no one "outside" is allowed to approach the hotel. The elite are served by their own chefs, waiters, cameramen, secretaries, cleaners and security personnel. They work alongside the hotel staff, who go through a thorough background check the day before.

For example, the 2004 conference was held in Stresa, at the Hotel Des il Borromee, with "174 impressive rooms decorated in the style of belle?poque, imperial style or Maggiolini style. Fine fabrics and magnificent Murano chandeliers are everywhere. Most rooms have private balconies, Italian marble bathrooms and luxurious spa baths in every room. We are talking about luxury suites, which do not lack paintings, statues and other masterpieces of art.” Accommodation is paid by the Bilderberg Club - only 1200 euros per suite. Responsible for food - the chef, blessed with three Michelin stars. One of the criteria for choosing a hotel is the availability of the best chefs in the world in its State. Another factor is the size of the city (preference is given to small cities that would allow you to hide from prying eyes). Small towns have the added benefit of the possible open presence of heavily armed "personal personnel". Nobody asks about anything. Everything is paid for: services, telephone, laundry, meals. One of the employees of the staff of the Palace Hotel near the Palace of Versailles told me that in 2003 David Rockefeller's telephone bill reached 14 thousand euros in three days. According to one source who also took part in the conference, it would not be an exaggeration to say that one of these "meetings of the leaders of globalization" costs 10 million euros in four days. That's more than the cost of keeping a US President or Pope safe on one of their many international trips. Of course, they are not as important as the shadow government that rules the planet.

The members of the Bilderberg Club hold four daily working meetings - two in the morning, two in the evening, with the exception of Saturdays, when there is only an evening meeting. On Saturday mornings between 2 and 3 pm club members play golf or spend time in the pool, under "personal protection", take boat or helicopter rides.

The rotation of chairmen at the working table takes place in alphabetical order. In one year, the meeting is chaired by Giovanni Agnelli, former president of Fiat. The following year this post is taken by Klaus Zumwinkel, President of Deutsche Post Worldnet AG and Deutsche Telekom. The United States, given the size of the country, has the largest number of representatives.

Each country is usually represented by a delegation of three representatives: an industrialist, minister or senator and an intellectual or publisher. Small countries like Greece and Denmark have a maximum of two representatives. A conference usually has no more than 130 delegates. Two-thirds of the delegates represent Europe, the rest - the United States and Canada. Representatives of Mexico belong to another, less powerful organization - the Trilateral Commission. A third of the delegates are politicians, the rest are representatives of the business community, finance, education, trade unions and the media. Most of the delegates speak English, although the second working language is French.

Chatham House Rule

The Royal Institute of International Relations (KIMO) was founded in 1919 as a result of the Treaty of Versailles. Its headquarters are in Chatham House, London. The name "Chatham House" is now used to refer to the entire institute. The Royal Institute of International Affairs is the right hand of the British monarchy.

The Chatham House rule is that meeting attendees may make public the information they hear, but must remain silent as to the identity and affiliation of those who provided it; it also cannot be mentioned that these data were obtained from one of the meetings of the institute. Understand it this way: the leaders of globalization not only do not want us to know about their plans, but they themselves prefer to remain unknown.

“The Chatham House rule aims to ensure the anonymity of all speeches. This allows participants to express their own points of view, which may differ from the official position of the organization they represent, which contributes to a freer discussion.

People feel more relaxed if their place of work is not mentioned, and stop caring about their reputation or the consequences of their statements.

In 2002, the application of this rule was clarified: “Meetings at Chatham House may be held in public or in accordance with the Chatham House Rule, that is, on the basis of the principles of expression of personal opinion and confidentiality. In the latter case, the participants will be aware that the content of the conversations of such a meeting is private and the anonymity of those who talk within these walls must be guaranteed; all this serves to ensure better international relations. Chatham House reserves the right to take disciplinary action against any member who violates this rule." Understand it this way: if you loose your tongue, you can expect a dramatic ending.

Members

Participants claim to attend meetings as private individuals and not as officials, although this claim is rather dubious: in the United States (under the Logan Act) and Canada, a publicly elected official is not allowed to meet privately with officials from other states to discuss and public policy planning.

The Logan Act was aimed at individuals who usurp the executive power of the government by interfering with government officials of other states. It is curious that during his two hundred years of history, not a single accusation was made against him. However, cases of its violation were considered in the course of various trials. In addition, it is commonly used as a political weapon. I do not mean by this that a mere mortal can illegally sell weapons or drugs to a foreign country. This is wrong. But members of the top-secret Bilderberg Club can do it. In this case, interference in the private affairs of independent states is even encouraged.

Here are some of those who attended the Bilderberg meeting: Allen Dulles (CIA), William Fulbright (senator from Arkansas and winner of one of the first Rhodes scholarships), Dean Acheson (Secretary of State of the Truman administration), Henry Kissinger (president of Kissinger Associates, David Rockefeller (Chase Bank, J.P. Morgan International Council), Nelson Rockefeller, Lawrence Rockefeller, Gerald Ford (former President of the United States), Henry Heinz II (President of H. J. Heinz Co. ."), Prince Philip of Great Britain, Robert McNamara (US Secretary of Defense under President Kennedy and former President of the World Bank), Margaret Thatcher (former British Prime Minister), Valerie Giscard d'Estaing (former French President), Harold Wilson (former Prime - Minister of Great Britain), Edward Heath (former Prime Minister of Great Britain), Donald Rumsfeld (US Secretary of Defense under Presidents Ford and George W. Bush), Helmut Schmidt (former chancellor of West Germany), Henry Ford II (president of Ford Motor Company), James Rockefeller (President of the First National City Bank) and Giovanni Agnelli (President of Fiat Italy).

From the very beginning, the Bilderberg Club was led by a group of people who were chosen by a council of sages. The leaders of the world behind the scenes of the Bilderberg Club are the Chairman, Secretary General for Europe and Canada, Secretary General for the United States and Treasurer. Meetings are invited only to important and respected people who, through special knowledge, personal contacts and influence in national and international circles, can expand the goals and resources of the Bilderberg Club.

Meetings are always open and sincere, but they do not always reach mutual agreements. Over the past three years, the French, the British and the Americans have almost constantly disagreed. The reason for the disputes is Iraq. Two years ago, French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin openly told Henry Kissinger that "if the Americans told the whole truth about Iraq", that is, that the real reason for the invasion is control over oil, natural gas and their free use, perhaps they, the French, would not veto resolutions before the UN.” "Your president is a complete idiot," he added (this is an accurate quote recorded by three conference participants and confirmed by independent sources). “This does not mean that the rest will be the same fools,” Kissinger objected to some pessimist, leaving the hall. British nationalism is another cause for concern. At Turnberry, Tony Blair, the prime minister of Great Britain, was treated like a naughty child in front of the rest of the participants, accusing him rather hostilely of not doing everything possible to ensure that the UK entered the euro zone. According to the sources of Jim Tucker, a legendary journalist who is recognized as the most honest professional for following the members of the Bilderberg Club literally on the heels for more than 30 years, which ultimately cost him quite a lot (some of his friends died under mysterious circumstances, and one of his family members, according to the official version, committed suicide), “Blair assured at a meeting of the Bilderberg Club that the UK will accept the euro, but first a number of “political issues” should be resolved in connection with the “revival of nationalism in the country.”

On May 29, 1989, Spotlight magazine, in one of its reports, published the following phrase, which a German official said to Blair: "You are no more than Maggie Thatcher in your pants." It was a stark reminder of how Lady Thatcher had been ousted by her own party of conservatives who were following Bilderberg's lead. Then the same forum chose John Major for this position, which was easier to manipulate.

As John Williams explains, “Some members of the Western elite participate in Bilderberg meetings to polish and reinforce the real consensus, the illusion that globalization, defined on their own terms, is inevitable and for the benefit of all mankind. What is good for banks and big business is good for everyone. This will inevitably benefit humanity.”

Organization of work in the Bilderberg Club

Otto Wolff von Amerongen, president and director of the German company Otto Wblff GmbH and one of the club's founders, explained that the meetings follow the following pattern: they begin with a summary of a certain topic, followed by an active discussion. Wolf von Amerongen, who actively developed business ties between Germany and the countries of the former Soviet bloc, has repeatedly represented the FRG in Russia. However, his connections with the Nazi government cannot be hidden, since his involvement in the theft of shares from Jews during World War II is known. Werner Rugemer co-wrote a documentary about the Amerongen family with another director, revealing that Wolff was a Nazi spy in Portugal; his job was to sell the gold he looted from the central European banks and the shares of the Jews. Wolf also traded in tungsten, a metal used to make weapons. At that time, Portugal was the only country that exported tungsten to Germany.

Two delegates who wished to remain anonymous, believed to be British, explained that the work of the club is organized in groups consisting of a coordinator and two or three other people. Each of them has about five minutes to speak on the topic of the day - and there are "issues that are discussed for five, three or two minutes." There are no drafts or outlines of speeches - no notes, although delegates are encouraged to think ahead of their speeches. The preliminary list of prospective participants appears in January, and is specified in March. To avoid leakage of information, the club's board sets the date of the meeting four months in advance, and announces the name of the hotel a week in advance. At the opening of the meeting, the president recalls the rules of the club and opens the first topic of the day for discussion. The Bilderberg Club marks all documents that are distributed among the members of the club as follows: “Personal and absolutely secret. Forbidden for publication.

recruited by the club

In the Bilderberg Club there are active members who are constantly involved in meetings, and other people who only occasionally take part in them.

There are about 80 permanent participants, but the number of temporary participants, who mainly inform about issues related to their area of ​​expertise and personal experience, varies. They have little idea of ​​the formally established group and know nothing of the secret agenda. There are also some select invitees whom the committee considers useful in the implementation of its plans for globalization and who are being helped to high positions. Among them is Esperanza Aguirre. In some cases, these invitees do not take root in the organization and are completely isolated from it.

The most notable example of "useful recruiting" was Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton, who first attended a Bilderberg meeting in Baden-Baden in 1991. Then David Rockefeller explained to the young Clinton what the meaning of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was, and gave him his recommendations for supporting this agreement. The following year, the governor became president.

The connection with the Bilderberg Club has always been extremely beneficial for:

1. Bill Clinton.

Attended the meeting of the Bilderberg Club in 1991. He was nominated by the Democratic Party and in 1992 was elected president.

2. Tony Blair.

Attended the meeting of the Bilderberg Club in 1993. In June 1994 he became party leader, and in May 1997 - prime minister.

3. Romano Prodi.

Attended the meeting of the Bilderberg Club in 1999. In September 1999 he was elected President of the European Union.

4. George Robertson.

Attended the meeting of the Bilderberg Club in 1998. In August 1999 he became Secretary General of NATO.

Francois Mitterrand

On December 10, 1980, François Mitterrand, a man who had been rejected and written off by the French establishment, returned to the political arena at the behest of the Committee of 300, Bilderberg's "older" brother. According to John Coleman, author of Conspirators' Hierarchy: The Story of the Commitee of 300, "they took Mitterrand out of the political stash, dusted him off and put him back in power." Mitterrand himself, returning to politics, said: “Capitalist industrial development is incompatible with freedom. We must put an end to this. The economic systems of the 20th and 21st centuries will use machines to push people out of production, and above all in the field of nuclear energy, where significant results have already been achieved.

Coleman's observations make us shudder. “The return of Mitterrand to the Elysee Palace was a great triumph for socialism. It proved that the Committee of 300 had become powerful enough to first plan events and then carry them out, either by force or by any other means that may be required to achieve their goals; that the Committee can break any resistance, even in the case of Mitterrand, who was completely rejected by the political power group in Paris”, that is, Le Pen's National Front and a large segment of his own socialist party.

The fall of the Turkish government. Bilderberg Club, 1996

Four days after the return of two representatives of Turkey to their homeland after the meeting of the club in 1996, the Turkish government finally fell in Toronto. We are talking about Gazi Ersel, the head of the Central Bank of Turkey, and Emre Gonenzay, the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Turkish Prime Minister Mesut Yilmaz abruptly resigned, dissolving the coalition between the True Path Party, led by former conservative Prime Minister Tansu Çiller, and his own Fatherland Party.

This allowed Nijmeddin Erbakan, leader of the Islamist Welfare Party, to form a new government.

Bilderberg Club, 2004. Stresa, Italy

According to one well-informed source who took part in the 2004 meeting, the representatives of Portugal, who ended up in the club, secured a successful political and business career.

Here are some examples of the so-called "Portuguese tactics":

Pedro Santana López, the little-known mayor of Lisbon, has been appointed Prime Minister of Portugal.

José Manuel Duran Barroso, the former prime minister, has become the new head of the European Commission.

José Socrates, a member of parliament, led the Socialist Party after the resignation of Eduardo Ferro Rodriguez due to the political and social crisis and allegations of pedophilia. Sources close to the investigation confirm that the crisis was caused by Bilderberg members.

Another example of the club's influence on American politics came to light during the US presidential campaign, when Democratic US presidential candidate John Kerry chose John Edwards as his running mate. John Edwards had been invited to a Bilderberg meeting for the first time a month earlier. Various sources, which I cannot make public because it would put their lives in danger, independently confirmed that after hearing Edwards' speech during the second day of the meeting, Henry Kissinger called John Kerry and said: "John, we have already found you vice president." A strange chain of coincidences.

NATO leaders under Bilderberg control

To understand who controls the leadership of NATO, the largest military bloc in the world, we need only look at the close ties that exist between the secretaries general of NATO and Bilderberg: Joseph Lune (1971-1984), Lord Carrington (1984-1988) , Manfred Werner (1988-1994), Willy Claes (1994-1995), Javier Solana (1995-1999), Lord Robertson (1999-2004) and Jaan de Hul Scheffer (2004). NATO was created by the Tavistock Institute when the shadow world government decided to create a super-organization that would control international politics. In turn, it was the Royal Institute of International Affairs, which reports only to the Queen of Great Britain and controls the foreign policy of this country, founded the Tavistock Institute.

As a result, it is much easier for the Bilderberg Club to carry out its policy in the Persian Gulf, Iraq, Serbia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Syria, North Korea, Afghanistan - we are talking only about the most famous conflicts.

Both Donald Rumsfeld and Irish General Peter Sutherland are members of the Bilderberg Club. Sutherland is a former European Union commissioner and chairman of Goldman Sachs and British Petroleum. Rumsfeld and Sutherland made a lot of money in 2000 while serving on the board of the Swiss energy company ABB. Their secret alliance became public when it was revealed that ABB had sold two nuclear reactors to an active member of the "axis of evil", in particular North Korea. It must be said that British Petroleum is careful not to mention this when it claims "safety first" as one of its slogans.

All British Prime Ministers over the past 30 years have been forced to attend meetings of the Bilderberg Club. This is taken as an anecdote - you can imagine that the club was the brainchild of MI6 under the leadership of the Royal Institute of International Affairs. In particular, it was the idea of ​​Alistair Buchan (son of Lord Tweedsmuir, a member of the Royal Institute of International Affairs and the Round Table) and Duncan Sandys (an influential politician, son-in-law of Winston Churchill, who, in turn, was a friend of Roetginger, a Jesuit priest and Freemason) . MI6 needed a member of the royal family to back the club and thought of Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, known for his many connections with European royalty and big industrialists. The 1957 Bilderberg meeting marked the beginning of the career of Labor Party leader Denis Healey. Shortly after this meeting, Healy, oddly enough, was appointed Minister of the Economy. Tony Blair attended the meeting April 23-25, 1993, in Vouliagmeni, Greece, when he was an unknown Foreign Minister.

Corrupt journalists

“Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we think they need,” said Richard Salant, former president of CBS News.

One of the best-kept secrets is the extent to which the handful of Bilderberg-owned conglomerates such as the Council on Foreign Relations, NATO, the Club of Rome, the Trilateral Commission, the Freemasons, the Skull and Bones, the Round Table, the Milner Society and the Jesuit-Aristotelian Society, controls the flow of the world's information and determines what we watch on television, listen to on the radio, and read in newspapers, magazines, books, and the internet.

“To be a witness to the annual Bilderberg conference is to understand how the masters of the new world are secretly gathering and conspiring with the permission of the media,” lamented my friend Jim Tucker, enemy No. 1 of the Bilderberg Club. Tucker knows what he's talking about. After all, he followed the meetings of the club for more than 30 years.

The Bilderberg Club also represents an elite group of media representatives on both sides of the Atlantic who are present at the meetings, promising in advance that they will never, under any circumstances, spread information about the club. The publishers are responsible for any news about the club that appears in the media. In this way the members of the Bilderberg Club provide absolute silence and invisible cover both in Europe and in the United States.

If we search through the world's largest media outlets, we will not find any notes about the group that brings together the most influential politicians, entrepreneurs and financiers on the planet, except for information about the start of the war in Iraq. And information does not appear even in the press, whose representatives were present at a meeting of the Bilderberg Club in 2002, where serious disagreements arose among members of various groups. Representatives of Europe in the Bilderberg Club demanded the immediate presence of US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to explain military plans. Rumsfeld, having radically changed his plans, took part in the meeting in order to promise those present under pressure and threats that in no case would hostilities begin before February-March 2003. If even I, whatever personal connections I may have, knew when the war would start, how is it possible that the whales of the world media present at this meeting did not have such important information?

Jim Tucker's American Free Press reported in June 2002 that, according to information from the Bilderberg meeting, the fighting in Iraq had been postponed until March 2003, although the entire world's press was saying that the attack would take place in the summer of 2002. Understand it this way: the Bilderberg meeting took place between May 30 and June 2, 2002. Rumsfeld, US Secretary of Defense under President Bush, attended the May 31 meeting. Members of the club pulled out of him a promise that the Bush administration would start the war no earlier than next year. Doesn't this news deserve to be on the front pages of newspapers all over the world? However, major publications such as the New York Tunes or the Washington Post, whose directors are members of the Bilderberg Club, have been ordered not to tell the truth about what should have been the top news of the summer.

American Free Press correspondent Christopher Boldin once took the opportunity to ask a group of journalists who were waiting for the start of a press conference about the reason why the major publications did not publish information about the Bilderberg Club. The answer was only an ironic smile.

“Many years ago we received an order from above that we were not allowed to publish any information about Bilderberg,” Anthony Holder, a former UN journalist for the Economist in London, once said. Recall that this message concerns periodical economic publications. Business Week journalist William Glasgow states: "The only thing we know is that the club exists, but we don't cover it." In the words of another journalist, "It's impossible not to be suspicious of an organization that plots the future of humanity in absolute secrecy."

“The connection between the Rockefellers and the media is very close. This is how they ensure that media disinformation never tell about their plans to run the future world government. The media always decide what will be relevant information for the inhabitants of a particular country. For example, sometimes the topic of poverty is brought to the fore, and sometimes it is hushed up. This applies to environmental pollution, demographic problems, the world and everything else.

“The media can take on one person, like Ralph Nader, and in an instant make a hero out of no one. Or they can take one of the Rockefellers' enemies and turn him into the ultimate cretin or dangerous paranoid" (Gary Allen, The Rockefeller Case ["The Rockefeller's File"]) Ralph Nader, the perpetual "independent candidate" for President of the United States, intransigent stance in opposition to the ruling party, funded by the Rockefeller network to destroy the free market system. Nader's main backers are the Ford Foundation and the Field Foundation, linked through the Council on Foreign Relations. In the article "John D. Rockefeller IV - Advisor to Nader," published in Business Week in 1971, it is written:

“With all their money, the Rockefellers have established control over the media. Public opinion is no longer a problem for them. Together with the control of public opinion, they gained power. They control politics, they have an entire nation at their feet…”

“We are very grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine and other major media outlets,” says David Rockefeller, “whose leaders have previously attended our meetings and have been discreet in their coverage of our activities for almost 40 years. If we had been under the spotlight of the general public during these years, the development of our plans for the whole world would have become impossible. “The world today is more inclined towards the creation of a One World Government. The supra-national power of the intellectual elite and world bankers is more preferable than the right of peoples to self-determination, which we have followed for centuries.

"Club of Rome" The "Club of Rome", not yet mentioned by me, but according to Ovin Demaris ("Dirty Business"), is a group of members of the international "Establishment" from 25 countries (about 50 people). It was founded by the Rockefeller clan (on the private Rockefeller estate in Bellago, Italy) and
