Bilderberg Agenda
The 61st Bilderberg meeting is set to take place from 6 until 9 June 2013 in Hertfordshire, UK. A total of around 140 participants from 21 European and North American countries have confirmed their attendance. As ever, a diverse group of political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia and the media have been invited. The list of participants is available on www.bilderbergmeetings.org
The key topics for discussion this year include: • Can the US and Europe grow faster and create jobs? • Jobs, entitlement and debt • How big data is changing almost everything • Nationalism and populism • US foreign policy • Africa’s challenges • Cyber warfare and the proliferation of asymmetric threats • Major trends in medical research • Online education: promise and impacts • Politics of the European Union • Developments in the Middle East • Current affairs
Founded in 1954, Bilderberg is an annual conference designed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America.
Every year, between 120-150 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia and the media are invited to take part in the conference. About two thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from North America; one third from politics and government and the rest from other fields.
The conference has always been a forum for informal, off-the-record discussions about megatrends and the major issues facing the world. Thanks to the private nature of the conference, the participants are not bound by the conventions of office or by pre-agreed positions. As such, they can take time to listen, reflect and gather insights.

I'm not sure if the Hertfordshire police are really entering into the party spirit?
BRILLIANT video with Sam Williams who, it appears, is mistaken for a one man terrorist reconnaissance unit because he's got a camera. Boy they really don't like cameras... but why? Anything dodgy going on the camera has the evidence, duh. Quite clear though that the psychopath mentality is already beginning to gather around The Groves

Anti-Bilderberg protest building up
7:00pm Thursday 16th May 2013 in News - By Mike Wright and Ben Endley
http://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/news/10425714._/
A county council candidate from Watford is helping to organise an anti-Bilderberg festival to protest against the controversial group’s forthcoming meeting in the town.
Su Murray applied this week to Watford Borough Council for a temporary event licence for a “family event” on West Field, a patch of land between Hempstead Road and the A41.
When contacted by the Watford Observer Ms Murray, who stood as a Green Party candidate for the Central Oxhey division in the recent Hertfordshire County Council elections, said she had “concerns” about the Bilderberg coming to town but was adamant the event would be peaceful and law-abiding.
She said: “It [the application] is for a Green event taking into account the Bilderberg meeting.
“It is all a bit up in the air at the moment.
“My thoughts were I wanted something, a green event, to work with the people coming along because of Bilderberg.
“I am pretty certain I am going to amalgamate my idea in with the main festival, I am not sure whether it will be on the site I am applying for or not.
“I want it to remain a green event but the organisers of the main festival also want a very green event. This way will be better for a lot of residents and better for the police because it will all be on one site.”
The event – scheduled to last from June 8 to 12 – is described on the application as a “family event with entertainment including folk music, children’s entertainers, face painting, craft workshops and stalls”.
An application has also been made for late-night refreshment and alcohol sales.
Politicians on the council’s licensing sub-committee are due to make a decision on whether to grant a licence next week.
Opponents of the shadowy meeting of influential figures from politics, business and academia are organising a fringe festival to coincide with the gathering at The Grove hotel next month.
Organisers have said the festival will be a creative art outlet of protest and they are working with police to minimise disruption to residents.
Hannah Borno, a spokesman for the Bilderberg Fringe Festival, said: “What Watford can expect is proper comedians and music acts. No one is making any money by what it is going to be great entertainment. We are working with the police to enable it to happen and cause minimum disturbance to residents.”
A Facebook page has also been set up to organise an Occupy Bilderberg event while the group meets.
More than 600 people have said they are attending the event, which has listed its location as simply “The Grove Hotel” between June 6 and 9.
Last week, Hertfordshire Constabulary confirmed to the Watford Observer that it was launching a security operation for the Bilderberg meeting.
The Bilderberg Group meets annually in different locations and says it provides its attendees a chance to “off-the-record” discussions about current events.
Previous attendees have included the leaders from industries such as banking, technology as well as elected politicians from around the globe and include George Osborne, Google CEO Eric Schmidt and former chairman of Barclays, Marcus Agius.
The secret nature of the events, from which no minutes or records are published, has provoked a growing protest movement.
Around 800 people protested the last meeting in Virginia, USA. _________________ www.lawyerscommitteefor9-11inquiry.org www.rethink911.org www.patriotsquestion911.com www.actorsandartistsfor911truth.org www.mediafor911truth.org www.pilotsfor911truth.org www.mp911truth.org www.ae911truth.org www.rl911truth.org www.stj911.org www.v911t.org www.thisweek.org.uk www.abolishwar.org.uk www.elementary.org.uk www.radio4all.net/index.php/contributor/2149 http://utangente.free.fr/2003/media2003.pdf

British taxpayers to pay 'millions' towards secretive Bilderberg meeting security
Taxpayers will have to pay millions towards policing the secretive Bilderberg meeting of the global elite due to gather in a Hertfordshire hotel next week.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/10089131/British-taxpayers-to -pay-millions-towards-secretive-Bilderberg-meeting-security.html http://www.infowars.com/british-taxpayers-to-pay-millions-towards-secr etive-bilderberg-meeting-security/
By Rowena Mason, Political correspondent - 3:31PM BST 30 May 2013
The clandestine meeting of royalty, prime ministers and business chiefs is taking place in Britain for the first time since 1998, sparking fears of "violence and disturbance" by anti-capitalist protesters.
The Bilderberg organisers, who include Tory Cabinet minister Ken Clarke, do not release a guest list but a roll-call of luminaries are expected to descend on a luxury Watford hotel from June 6, forcing police to step up security.
Hertfordshire police have refused to release the cost of security for the event, which has previously drawn anti-capitalist protests in other locations around the world.
However, they are in talks with the Home Office about a grant for "unexpected or exceptional costs" that is only given out if it threatens the stability of the force's policing budget. The final bill would have to total more than one per cent of the police force's overall spend - or about £1.8 million - for the grant to be successful.
The invitation-only Bilderberg meetings are attended by around 140 members of the international elite.
Previous guests are thought to have included Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller, Prince Charles, Peter Mandelson, Lord Carrington, David Cameron and Queen Beatrix of Holland but the list of attendees is different every year.
The cloak of secrecy surrounding the meetings, which ban journalists from attending, has fuelled conspiracy theories that so-called Bilderbergers are planning global domination and world unification.
However, the event is most often likened to a political version of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, which draws members of the economic elite to discuss current affairs and ideas.
Its steering commitee includes Mr Clarke, Cabinet minister without portfolio, Thomas Enders, chief executive of defence company EADS, and Peter Sutherland, the chairman of Goldman Sachs.
Some activists have decided to hold a Bilderberg Fringe Festival - described by its organisers as a peaceful weekend of speakers, comedy, music, workshops, arts and entertainment nearby.
However, Dorothy Thornhill, the mayor of Watford, has raised fears that the summit could also bring "violence."
She told the Watford Observer: “I have my concerns about it because it does attract people who can and do cause violence and disturbance.
“But I am confident the police will be able to minimise that and give them their right to protest.
“I am ambivalent about whether this is a good thing. It’s potentially a positive thing as long as things don’t kick off.
Hertfordshire Police said the Bilderberg Group has agreed to contribute some of the cost of security, but taxpayers will have to cover the rest of the bill.
The force said it could not yet estimate the cost to the taxpayer of policing the event or whether it will need to draw on reinforcements from nearby forces.
"The organisers of the event are paying for a private security firm who will be providing security at the venue," the spokesman said.
"In addition, the organisers have agreed to contribute towards policing costs relating to the event.
"As we do not disclose the costs of operations prior to their event, we will not disclose the amounts at this stage."
The last time the Bilderberg Group met in Britain was in Turnberry in Scotland in 1998. This year's event will be at the Grove Hotel in Watford, which has been booked out for the duration of the conference from 6th to 9th June.

Bilderberg June 6 - 9 Conference http://warisacrime.org/content/bilderberg-june-6-9-conference?
By Stephen Lendman - Posted on 30 May 2013
Bilderberg June 6 - 9 Conference - by Stephen Lendman
Its four-day meeting occurs annually. It's a rite of spring. British political economist Will Hutton calls the group the "high priests of globalization." Powerful movers and shakers have their own agenda.
They discuss key issues. They do it year round. Once annually they meet face-to-face. They plot strategy to exploit the world's riches. They want them for themselves. They try to keep meeting dates, locations, and issues to be discussed secret.
Word gets out. It's official. Britain's five-star Grove Hotel is this year's venue. It's a Hertfordshire, England hotel resort. It calls itself "London's cosmopolitan country estate."
It's 18 miles from London. It's 30 minutes from Heathrow Airport. It's ideal for secluded meetings. Great pains are taken to keep journalists, activists, and other uninvited guests away.
On May 13, Infowars reporters Paul Joseph Watson and Jon Scobie visited the Grove Hotel. They claim to have "groundbraking" information.
Google's CEO Eric Schmidt is a regular Bilderberg attendee. Watson and Scobie said his company is "merging" with Bilderberg.
"Google’s annual Zeitgeist conference, which has been based at the Grove since 2007, immediately precedes the Bilderberg Group conference by a matter of days."
"Backed up by prior research, we were able to confirm in conversations with hotel managers and others that the Grove is now a central base for Google’s agenda to control the global political and technological landscape."
Bilderberg's "being recast as 'Google-Berg' - partly because of efforts on behalf of activists to tear away the veil of Bilderberg’s much cherished secrecy, and partly as a means of re-branding authoritarian, undemocratic secret gatherings of elites as trendy, liberal, feel-good philanthropic-style forums like Google Zeitgeist and TED."
In May 2012, London's Telegraph headlined "Google invites the best and brightest into its Big Tent."
It's Google's annual Zeitgeist conference. The Telegraph compared it to annual Davos World Economic Forum meetings. Major global figures participate in both.
Eric Schmidt thinks "privacy is a relic of the past," said Infowars. He "plans to turn Google into the ultimate Big Brother."
He and Bilderberg members share a common agenda. In part, it reflects a "collectivist, permanently networked world (without) individuality and privacy."
Bilderberg's grand design is one-world government comprised of rulers and serfs. It wants total unchallenged global control.
Infowars said its "inside source" listed the following June issues for discussion:destroying Iran's nuclear facilities within three years;prolonging war on Syria by arming anti-Assad elements;the threat of a global pandemic; perhaps it's a planned depopulation scheme;controlling 3D printing;Internet control through "cyber resilience;"establishing a ministry of truth; Orwell explained its mission and more, saying:
"The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation."
"These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink."
Other Bilderberg topics include:smart cities for mass surveillance;diffusing austerity induced social protests; preventing Britain from leaving the EU;propping up the euro to keep the Eurozone intact;minimal 2013 economic growth;increasing central bank power; transferring more wealth from ordinary people to corporations and super-rich elites; and preventing a growing credit bubble from popping.
In 2007, Privacy International's "Race to the Bottom" report addressed privacy rankings of Internet service companies. A previous article discussed its comments on Google, saying:
"....throughout our research we have found numerous deficiencies and hostilities in Google's approach to privacy that go well beyond those of other organizations."
It's "an endemic threat to privacy. This is in part due to the diversity and specificity of Google's product range and the ability of the company to share extracted data between these tools, and in part due to Google's market dominance and the sheer size of its user base."
"Its aggressive use of invasive or potentially invasive technologies and techniques" is unmatched.
It's able to "deep drill into the minutiae of a user's life and lifestyle choices." It has no qualms about doing it irresponsibly.
It retains volumes user information. No limitations are placed on its subsequent use or disclosure. Users aren't able to delete or withdraw it.
It retains all "search strings and associated IP-addresses and time stamps for at least 18 to 24 months, and does not provide users with an expungement option."
It has other personal information on hobbies, employment, addresses, phone numbers, and more. It retains it after users delete their profiles.
It "collects all search results entered through Google Toolbar, and identifies all Google Toolbar users with a unique cookie that allows Google to track the user's web movements."
Information is retained indefinitely. It provides a permanent record. Doing so spurns OECD Privacy Guidelines and EU data protection law provisions.
Users can't edit or delete records and information. They can't access log information generated through various Google services, such as Google Maps, Video, Talk, Reader, or Blogger.
In 2004, Google also acquired the CIA-linked company Keyhole, Inc. It maintains a worldwide 3-D spy-in-the-sky images database.
Its software provides a virtual fly-over and zoom-in capability. It does so within a one-foot resolution.
It's supported by In-Q-Tel. It's a venture capital CIA-funded firm. It "identif(ies) and invest(s) in companies developing cutting-edge information technologies that serve United States national security interests."
In 2003, its CEO, John Hanke, said:
"Keyhole's strategic relationship with In-Q-Tel means that the Intelligence Community can now benefit from the massive scalability and high performance of the Keyhole enterprise solution."
In 2006, former CIA clandestine services case officer, Robert Steele, said:
"I am quite positive that Google is taking money and direction from my old colleague Dr. Rick Steinheiser in the Office of Research and Development at CIA, and that Google has done at least one major prototype effort focused on foreign terrorists which produced largely worthless data."
"I think (Google is) stupid to be playing with CIA, which cannot keep a secret and is more likely to waste time and money than actually produce anything useful."
On April 29, 2009, Willem Buiter's Financial Times article headlined "Gagging on Google," saying:
"Google is to privacy and respect for intellectual property rights what the Taliban are to women's rights and civil liberties: a daunting threat that must be fought relentlessly by all those who value privacy and the right to exercise, within the limits of the law, control over the uses made by others of their intellectual property."
It should be strictly regulated, "and if necessary, broken up or put out of business." It "lays the foundations for corporate or even official Big Brotherism."
Google Street View's addition to Google Maps, "provides panoram(ic) images visible from street level in cities around the world."
"The cameras record details of residents' lives." They do so without permission. Personal privacy is violated.
It's also done through tracking cookies or "third-party persistent cookies." They assist interest-based advertising. It's known as behavioral targeting.
In the wrong hands, information can be used "to put a commercial squeeze on people, but also to extort and blackmail them."
In government hands, it enhances "a pretty effective and very nasty police state."
Can Google be trusted to use this information responsibly? "Of course not." It's a business run by "amoral capitalists." It seeks profits by any means.
Google and other Internet search engines "should not be trusted because they cannot be trusted." Because of its size and dominance, Google's "the new evil empire of the internet." It's a menacing "Leviathan."
If true, partnering (merging) with Bilderberg enhances the threat. Institutionalized spying endangers everyone. Today's technology exceeds the worst of what Orwell imagined.
Big Brother isn't fiction. It's watching everyone all the time for any reason. It does so with sweeping technological effectiveness. It makes Bilderberg's ideal world more possible.
A Final Comment
During Bilderberg's conference, police state conditions will apply. Nearby Grove Hotel residents will be affected. Unprecedented security will be enforced. Operations will be round-the-clock.
Area residents will have to show police passports, drivers licenses, or other accepted photo IDs to get home. Civil liberties will be suspended. De facto martial law will replace them.
What's planned may be prelude to what's coming. Boston experienced lockdown. It can happen anywhere anytime. Perhaps manufactured reasons will enforce it nationwide.
America and Britain are vulnerable. So are other Western nations. Longstanding freedoms are fast eroding. They're vulnerable to disappearing any time.

Bilderberg Agenda
The 61st Bilderberg meeting is set to take place from 6 until 9 June 2013 in Hertfordshire, UK. A total of around 140 participants from 21 European and North American countries have confirmed their attendance. As ever, a diverse group of political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia and the media have been invited. The list of participants is available on www.bilderbergmeetings.org
The key topics for discussion this year include: • Can the US and Europe grow faster and create jobs? • Jobs, entitlement and debt • How big data is changing almost everything • Nationalism and populism • US foreign policy • Africa’s challenges • Cyber warfare and the proliferation of asymmetric threats • Major trends in medical research • Online education: promise and impacts • Politics of the European Union • Developments in the Middle East • Current affairs
Founded in 1954, Bilderberg is an annual conference designed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America.
Every year, between 120-150 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia and the media are invited to take part in the conference. About two thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from North America; one third from politics and government and the rest from other fields.
The conference has always been a forum for informal, off-the-record discussions about megatrends and the major issues facing the world. Thanks to the private nature of the conference, the participants are not bound by the conventions of office or by pre-agreed positions. As such, they can take time to listen, reflect and gather insights.
There is no detailed agenda, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken, and no policy statements are issued. _________________ --

A useful list of Bilderberg delegates since 1991 was recently released by Anonymous.
Below is a much shorter list, specifically of Bilderberg Group members and recent conference participants with particularly strong business, finance and industry links. The list is noticeable for the high number of CEOs, Chairmen and Directors from some of the biggest corporations in the world.

In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss the emergence of a new economic theory of Potemkinism where posters of thriving towns substitute for towns that aren't actually thriving. And, if that fails, then the towns are demolished to avoid seeing such failure. In the second half, Max talks to writer, producer, journalist, Charlie Skelton about the upcoming Bilderberg event in Watford, UK and the protest groups around it.
The Good News from Bilderberg 2013 is that Bassma Kodmani, Member of the Executive Bureau and Head of Foreign Affairs for Syrian National Council, was not invited back. That Free Syrian Armt has been a real disaster of late for NATO. That is good news for Syria. The Bad News is that after reading the bios of the Bilderberg attendees David Petraeus is an angel compared to half a dozen of the Israeli Firsters who are also attending including a couple from PNAC. You remember them. The guys who helped do 9/11.
Usually a week after the Bilderberg meeting we will see press articles detailing where they want us to go. I hope peace is on the agenda. Chinese experts who attended last year were not invited back.
If any unannounced attendees are spotted, I will update this list as I did last year.
Chairman - Castries, Henri de France Chairman and CEO, AXA Group, the insurance giant is the 9th largest company in the world. He replaced Viscount Etienne Davignon last year. An American unit of AXA was involved in the Wall Street fleeces Main Street scandal which was investigated by the New York state Attorney General.

Babacan, Ali Turkey Deputy Prime Minister for Economic and Financial Affairs

Bavinchove, Olivier de France Commander of Eurocorps, the Franco- German brigades. He is a 3 star general. His brigades are supposed to protect the bankers when it all goes belly up. Don’t count on these guys. They are top heavy with generals and short of battle tested soldiers.
Bell, John GB Regius Professor of Medicine, University of Oxford. He specializes in autoimmune diseases. I hope they are interested in protecting their own health rather than lowering our immune response to a plague. I think they do that research elsewhere.
Bernabè, Franco Italy Chairman and CEO, Telecom Italia. He is a non-executive director of Petro China. He was appointed as Vice Chairman of Rothschild Europe. He is on the Bilderberg Steering Committee. The other Bilderberg participants merely discuss the agenda until agreement is reached. The Steering Committee sets that agenda.

Cowper-Coles, Sherard GB Business Development Director, International, BAE Systems plc. BAE is a scandal plagued British arms merchant.

He has written a book on EU integration.
Feldstein, Martin S. USA Professor of Economics, Harvard University; President Emeritus, NBER. He is the most seasoned economics expert on Business cycles. Good to have around when you really need to know how much longer this Ponzi scheme fractional reserve banking system can last.

Flint, Douglas J. GB Group Chairman, HSBC Holdings plc. HSBC is an old drug running bank better known as Hong Kong Shanghai Bank.

His bank has extensive contacts with both Chinese politicians and Latin American drug cartels. They also were in the LIBOR scandal.
Gallagher, Paul Ireland Former Attorney General; Senior Counsel. Irish people should all hang their heads in shame over this government which indebted the Irish people to pay for the speculative losses of English owned banks. http://www.IrishHolocaust.com has a map on the left of its main page which shows 300 sites for mass graves for Irishmen who were deliberately starved to death. No local groups have to date been willing to receive the historical markers he would love to donate.
Geithner, Timothy F. USA Former Secretary of the Treasury, He is a second generation Globalist. His father was a Director of the Ford Foundation in Asia. He was born in Asia and speaks Chinese. His first job was working for Kissinger Associates. His father was the boss of Obama’s mother. I have written about an evil plot from a previous meeting. The article is in the Notes below.
Gfoeller, Michael USA Bio says Political Consultant. Actually he is on the Board of Advisors to the Chertoff Group. The former DHS Secretary sold toxic scanners to the US. Chertoff was head of the Criminal Division at the DOJ on 911 which means he was in charge of the coverup. Gfoeller worked for the US State Department for 26 years in eastern Europe, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. He worked with General David Petraeus and also works with Exxon-Mobil for Government Affairs.
Graham, Donald E. USA Chairman and CEO, The Washington Post Company. His mother was the late Katherine Meyer. He is on the board of directors of Facebook. The Washington Post never ran stories on the Bilderberg Society until the alternative press came along. He is Jewish.
Grillo, Ulrich Germany CEO, Grillo-Werke AG This is a Zinc and Sulphur company. Not sure why he was invited. He does have the same last name as Beppe Grillo, the Italian politician who is upsetting the Globalists.

Guindos, Luis de Spain Minister of Economy and Competitiveness. The bankers have been pushing austerity. Spain is about to say No so loudly that the bankers will hear them.
Gulliver, Stuart GB Group Chief Executive, HSBC Holdings plc. This is the second man so far from HSBC. The banks launder over a trillion dollars a year in drugs and illegal weapons. They made more off drugs than they did from the African Slave trade.
Gutzwiller, Felix Swiss Member of the Swiss Council of States and leader of the Free Democrats. They are sort of libertarians. Bankers might be looking for a man to sell out the Swiss voters.
Halberstadt, Victor Netherlands Professor of Economics, Leiden University; Former Honorary Secretary General of Bilderberg Meetings.
Heinonen, Olli Finland Senior Fellow, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard Kennedy School of Government. He is an expert on nuclear proliferation. I hope he is there to get a consensus on peace with Iran.

Johnson, James A. USA Chairman, Johnson Capital Partners He selects VP candidates for the Democrats. He had something of a mortgage scandal in 2008 and his candidate Kathleen Sebelius was rejected by Obama as he does not like women which is unusual for a gay man. Biden became VP. He has real power within the Democratic party.
Jordan, Thomas J. Swiss. Chairman of the Governing Board, Swiss National Bank. He pegged the Swiss franc to the euro. Not doing well with that one.
Jordan, Jr., Vernon E. USA Senior Managing Director, Lazard. He was on the assassination list with Martin Luther King Jr. He escaped with his life and I do not blame him for going to work for the Rothschilds to avoid being killed. King was killed on the first anniversary of his Riverside church speech because of his anti-war activities. Peace is forbidden.
Kaplan, Robert D. USA Chief Geopolitical Analyst, Stratfor. The Bilderbergers invite some people because they want to network with a spectrum of people to make them feel important and to sell the agenda back home. I think this guy falls into that category as they have better intelligence sources than Stratfor. I hope they are selling a peace plan to his subscribers.
Karp, Alexander USA CEO, Palantir Technologies. This high tech company was created with seed money from the CIA so I do not believe those claims about protecting user privacy. Like all the other high tech CEOs the CIA funded. Karp is Jewish.

Kissinger, Henry A. USA Chairman, Kissinger Associates, Inc. Kissinger is wanted for war crimes. He is of course Jewish. He is a very big supporter of population reduction (i.e. killing billions of poor people.) Lest you think you are exempt please note that in a Hyperinflation your wages will be cut in half for openers and things will go down hill from there. In Argentina middle class families fed themselves from what they found in garbage cans.

Lagarde, Christine International Managing Director, International Monetary Fund. They must be up against it to invite an active head of the IMF. She is already in scandals.

H.M. Beatrix, the recently retired Queen of the Netherlands. Her father founded Bilderberg. Her family owns a large part of Royal Dutch Shell along with the Queen of England and the Rothschilds.

Rubin, Robert E. USA Co-Chair, Council on Foreign Relations; Former Secretary of the Treasury. He was head of Citibank’s private bank which launders drug money. In 1999 Robert Rubin, Alan Greenspan, Larry Summers (Samuelson) and Arthur Levitt told Brooksley Born of the CFTC that she could not regulate Credit Default Swaps which were faux insurance. They were unregulated and did not require the seller to set aside money to pay claims. All sales income could be paid out in bonuses allowing the taxpayer to foot the bill when it came due as it did in AIG. American taxpayers according to Obama will have to pay hundreds of trillions of dollars in CDS after the euro bonds collapse. All four of those men are Jewish. No concern to them that a billion people at some future date will starve to death.
Rutte, Mark Netherlands Prime Minister. He is a liberal and tried to pass austerity cuts. In 2009, Rutte stated that Holocaust denial should no longer be illegal.
Schieder, Andreas Austria State Secretary of Finance. This country just moved to the Right in local elections. But the real question is whether that New Party is pro or anti-banker not Right or Left.
Schmidt, Eric E. USA Executive Chairman, Google Inc. He has worked at Sun and Apple. Google is a superior search engine and was designed that way by the CIA-DARPA hive. It was given to the founders as was a lot of new technology. It is given on the condition that the CIA and NSA are allowed to spy on us. Google is featured at this years conference. There is an article in the notes below that concerns the evil intentions of Monsanto and Google.
Scholten, Rudolf Austria Member of the Board of Executive Directors, Oesterreichische Kontrollbank AG He is head of the Austrian Central Bank. The Great Depression did not get going until the Credit Anstalt bank of Vienna collapsed on May 11, 1931. It had too many eastern European bad debts. This man is not a professional banker. They probably are worried about bank run contagion and rightly so. Eastern Europe has more bad debts than in 1931.
Seguro, António José Portugal Secretary General, Socialist Party
Senard, Jean-Dominique France CEO, Michelin Group His French bio says he is interested mostly in world affairs.
Skogen Lund, Kristin Norway Director General, Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise. The bankers want several men from key industries in every nation to accept their goals and to infect business people back home with globalization.

He is a former Chairman of the Trilateral Commission. As the UN’s (Bilderberg) special representative for migration, he told the EU that they should “do its best to undermine” the “homogeneity” of its member states. As an Irishman who was a good footballer in his 20s, he should be ashamed of himself.

Thiam, Tidjane International Group CEO, Prudential plc
Thiel, Peter A USA President, Clarium Capital / Thiel Capital.

It should be noted that he is not an engineer. He is a lawyer and Stanford graduate. He worked as a derivatives trader and runs a Hedge Fund. He owned 10.2% of Facebook pre IPO. Mundie wants licensing for Internet users. A license that can be revoked at the whim of a billionaire. Thiel is a founder of PayPal which shuts down service to those who practice free speech on the Internet. He was an early investor in Facebook which legally should never had been offered as an IPO at anything above a dollar a share. PayPal has been linked by John Cruz to money laundering.

Topsøe, Jakob Haldor Denmark Partner, AMBROX Capital A/S. A financial services firm.
Urpilainen, Jutta Finland Minister of Finance and Deputy Prime Minister. She is a former school teacher. She is also chairwoman of the SDP. She will be important as Finland after Germany is the one nation in Europe expected to pay for this banker inflicted EU disaster. There are no anti-banker parties in Europe outside of Hungary, Greece and Italy.
Vasella, Daniel L. Switzerland Honorary Chairman, Novartis AG. a large pharmaceutical company. Typical Bilderberg medical man. He has an actual medical degree. But he also went into the Harvard MBA program. I might not be alone in thinking that this medical model screams for reform. His wife is the niece of the former CEO of Sandoz.
I believe drug companies should pay for the doctors to run trials for new drugs requiring them to be tested against home remedies alternative doctors are currently using. All drugs would be re-tested. The drug company would pay for the trial but a committee of doctors would administer the alternative treatment. For example, give 100,000 patients Vitamin D-3 and cinnamon to stabilize their diabetes. Test them monthly. They should do as well as drugged patients after 3 months with far fewer side effects. Beneficial side effects for Vitamin D3 are fewer winter colds and flu and a reduction of 72% of the incidence of a dozen different cancers. As soon as the results have verified, the government can issue a decree allowing insurance companies to refuse payment for any drug ruled to produce no better results than a home remedy. This would save money and require corporations to focus on real treatments and cures.
Voser, Peter GB CEO, Royal Dutch Shell plc. He is Swiss born and a former CFO and not an engineer. He is taking over the St Gallen Forum from Josef Ackerman. The forum gets potential leaders of tomorrow together with today’s leaders. Sounds like brain washing to me. How about a discussion of the Tesla technology the US government has been sitting on for 70 years. It would put the oil companies out of business. Bilderberg has a lot of oil companies represented at their meetings.
Wall, Brad Canada Premier of Saskatchewan
Wallenberg, Jacob Sweden Chairman, Investor AB. He is a member of the famous Wallenberg family. He is a Director of several banks and of Coca-Cola. In Latin America the Coca-Cola bottler is usually on speed dial of the local CIA station chief. The former President of Mexico Vicente Fox is a prime example.
Warsh, Kevin USA Distinguished Visiting Fellow, The Hoover Institution, Stanford University. He is a lawyer. He was Vice President and Executive Director in Morgan Stanley’s Mergers and Acquisitions Department. He then worked for President Bush in the Plunge Protection Team. This group tries to make dumb billionaires look smart by buying stocks and sending share prices higher. This disguises bad policies for the government as well. In 2006 he was appointed with another Jew to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Some said he was too young. Bernanke liked him and he performed well in the 2009 crisis . (Translation: He was as honest as Bernanke and Jamie Dimon had hoped.) He and his wife are Jewish. His wife Jane is an heiress to the Estee Lauder family fortune. He is a returning member.
Weston, Galen G. Canada Executive Chairman, Loblaw Companies Limited. Canadian retailer with several store brand name outlets.
Williams of Crosby, Shirley GB Member, House of Lords. She used to be a Labour politician who ran errands for the Rothschilds.
Wolf, Martin H GB Chief Economics Commentator, The Financial Times. He is the favorite writer of billionaires all over the world. He is a committed Globalist. And he is Jewish. As a young man, he worried about the economic conditions of the 1930s that created the war. He should read my essay below giving solutions other than more debts and more spending to solve our current crisis.
Wolfensohn, James D. USA Chairman and CEO, Wolfensohn and Company. He is most famous for being the former head of the World Bank. He was a partner of Paul Volcker and made his mark in rescuing Chrysler back in 1980. He was an Australian lawyer working for an English bank when he decided to become an American citizen so he would be eligible to become World Bank President. He is Jewish and his father had worked for the Rothschilds before immigrating suddenly to Australia.
Wright, David GB Vice Chairman, Barclays plc. Another bank heard from.
Zoellick, Robert B. USA Former President, The World Bank Group. Distinguished Visiting Fellow, Peterson Institute for International Economics. He is a lawyer and worked in the Reagan and Bush I Admins. From 1993 to 1997 He was an Executive VP of scandal plagued Fannie Mae. He signed the PNAC letter demanding America declare war on the whole world except Israel. He was also a managing director of Goldman Sachs. He is of Jewish descent and said so to a German interviewer. He is or was a nominal Lutheran in the small town where he lived as a boy. Karen Hudes said America lost its chairmanship of the World Bank because Zoellick and Wolfensohn allowed too much corruption.

Silly twit can't bear not to be in on it
Cameron to attend secretive Bilderberg conference (but will not say who he meets)
Prime Minister will take part in a debate on the global economy
Attendees include politicians, top business executives and royalty
Meeting being held in Watford and Cameron invited as head of government
But Downing Street say they will not give details of what is discussed
No 10 forced to deny decision runs counter to transparency agenda
Heavily-guarded event is the focus of conspiracy theorists
By Matt Chorley, Mailonline Political Editor
PUBLISHED: 11:48, 7 June 2013 | UPDATED: 13:40, 7 June 2013
David Cameron is to attend a meeting of the secretive Bilderberg Group tonight - but will not say who he meets.
The Prime Minister will take part in a debate on the global economy with an unknown group of ministers, business leaders and academics from around the world.
But his attendance at the heavily-guarded event is certain to spark controversy after Mr Cameron once promised to lead the 'most open and transparent government in the world'.
Secret: David Cameron, pictured in Scotland today, is to attend the Bilderberg Group conference tonight, but Downing Street said it was a private meeting and will not say who he meets
Controversy: Protesters gathered to at vehicles arriving at the conference yesterday in protest at its secretive nature
Famous for being shrouded in secrecy, the Bilderberg conference is taking place in Britain for the first time since 1998 and conspiracy theorists believe this is where leaders plot world domination.
The huge police operation drafted in to monitor the four-day event in Watford, which has previously attracted mass demonstrations, could cost the British taxpayer as much as £2million or more, it has been claimed.
Mr Cameron is not due to give a speech but will take part in a discussion about 'domestic and global economic issues'.
The Prime Minister's official spokesman said: 'It is a private meeting. He has been invited as head of the government here.
'My understanding is that is is usual for the Bilderberg Group to invite the head of the government of the country in which it is meeting.
'He feels it is an opportunity to discuss economic issues with senior ministers, business people and academics.'
'Outrageous': The huge police operation drafted in to monitor the four-day event, which has previously attracted mass demonstrations, could cost the British taxpayer as much as £2million or more, it has been claimed
On guard: Police patrol the grounds of The Grove hotel which is hosting the annual Bilderberg conference
Security: A police helicopter hovers over the The Grove hotel in Hertfordshire, with the taxpayer paying for most of the bill
The spokesman said he thought it was the first time Mr Cameron had joined a meeting of the shadowy group. But as Tory leader he attended in 2008.
The Prime Minister has made great play of his commitment to be more open about who he meets.
In 2010 he promised: 'We want to be the most open and transparent government in the world.'
Downing Street was forced to deny that Mr Cameron's decision to attend this evening ran counter to his pledge.
The spokesman added: 'The Prime Minister has always been clear about the importance of transparency, which is why this Government has taken a number of steps in terms of publishing more data, more information and making details of meetings available.
'We publish far more information on meetings than previous governments. The Prime Minister regularly has meetings with key ministers from other countries and with business people and others as part of his job.
'That doesn't mean that he is not determined to lead the most transparent government.'
Campaigners: Amid tight security, members of the press and a handful of protesters gathered in a fenced-off area just inside the grounds of the hotel, but around half a mile from the redbrick hotel
Sweep: Police are seen to be doing security checks in bushes outside the hotel grounds
Since its inception in 1954, Bilderberg has held annual gatherings of 120-150 invited political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia and the media, designed to 'foster dialogue between Europe and North America'.
The group describes the conference as 'a forum for informal, off-the-record discussions about megatrends and the major issues facing the world' and states that the private nature of the meeting allows participants to 'listen, reflect and gather insights' without being bound by the conventions of office or by pre-agreed public positions.
There is no detailed agenda, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken, and no policy statements are issued.
Cloaked: Famous for being shrouded in secrecy, the Bilderberg conference is taking place in Britain for the first time since 1998 and conspiracy theorists believe this is where leaders plot world domination
Ring of steel: Police officers man a road block as delegates arrived for the four-day meeting
Several cars with blacked-out windows entered the gates of the Grove Hotel, near Watford, in Hertfordshire, have been seen arriving the secretive meeting.
It is thought billionaire executives from multinational companies such as Amazon and Google, high-ranking political figures including Chancellor George Osborne, senior minister Ken Clarke and shadow chancellor Ed Balls and even members of royal families are among the 130 or so attendees.
Downing Street refused to comment on the huge police operation surrounding the event, which has been heavily criticised.
Watford town mayor Dorothy Thornhill said: 'I think it's outrageous that the local taxpayer has to pick up the tab for ostensibly a private meeting of trillionaires, probably the most wealthy people in the world.
'Hertfordshire Constabulary have suddenly got this unexpected budget strain dumped on them at literally a month's notice. It's not on.'
Alert: Police on horseback patrol the area around the hotel as delegates arrive for the conference
Keeping watch: The traditionally secretive conference, which has taken place since 1954, is expected to be attended by politicians, bank bosses, businessman and European royalty
Hertfordshire Police has not revealed details of the bill, but they are in talks with the Home Office about a grant for 'unexpected or exceptional costs'.
This is only approved if expenditure threatens a force's budget, which would need to be more than one per cent of its overall spend - or about £1.8million, according to the Daily Telegraph.
Hertfordshire Police said the Bilderberg Group has agreed to contribute some of the cost of security, but taxpayers will have to cover the rest.

Battle lines drawn on private sector role in defence
Mark Leftly
Tuesday 11 June 2013
The Government has rattled the unions by pushing forward with plans to effectively privatise the body that supplies guns to the Army and battleships to the Royal Navy.
In a White Paper on Monday the Defence Secretary, Philip Hammond, outlined his preferred option of bringing in a private-sector partner to help slash the cost of buying everything from missiles to radio systems.
Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) has a budget of £14bn and Mr Hammond wants a big business to oversee the organisation and bring with it the commercial nous to help get the most bullets and combat gear for the MoD's buck.
"For decades, the MoD has been at a disadvantage in commercial negotiations, and reforming single source procurement will radically change how the MoD conducts a high proportion of its business," Mr Hammond said.
Matthew Fell, CBI director for competitive markets, said the Government needed to "strike the right balance" between competition and investment.
The move has infuriated unions, which are concerned that DE&S's 16,500 staff will lose many of their hard-earned rights. They also question whether the private sector should be at the heart of decision-making at the department that is most responsible for national security.
Bob Rollings, secretary for the defence sector at the Public and Commercial Services Union, told The Independent: "We're not impressed with this, our members are not impressed that this [defence procurement] should be left to the private sector. This poses a big risk: we've got a workforce committed to maintaining standards for the front line and we can't be certain that will still be the case with the private sector."
Mr Rollings accused Bernard Gray, the chief of defence materiel who has spearheaded the plan within government, of "refusing to engage properly" with unions.
In a study that the former journalist conducted under the previous government, Mr Gray was shocked to discover just how expensive and long it took to buy and build vital defence equipment. He believed this situation could help Britain's enemies during times of war.
His favoured reform is known as "GoCo", which is short for a government-owned, contractor-operated model. Although the Government retains ownership, most critics and even proponents view this as at least semi-privatisation.
Mr Hammond is running a parallel process to analyse the GoCo and a second, unfavoured but less controversial option of modifying the current level of private-sector involvement in procurement.
Another plan is for an independent watchdog to be established to ensure that costs are kept down on those defence contracts that can only be bid for by one party due to their sensitivity.
The GoCo has excited potential private-sector partners, such as the FTSE 100 support services group Serco and the US engineer Bechtel, and they are pouring resources into winning what would be a hugely lucrative contract.
An industry source said: "This dual process is such typical Yes, Minister. The MoD is saying 'yes, we want this huge reform' but is leaving an option open to cancel in case it turns out to be too controversial."
The overall defence budget is some £34bn, but the Treasury is squeezing departments and Mr Hammond believes that cutting procurement costs will avert a cut in troop numbers.

Just found this online - disgusting but shill-revealing rubbish from this divvy
Thomas Sheridan on Charlie Skelton posted June 7, 2013:
Bilderburg Fringe Festival = Another Tapestry of Lies?
I think it was the Trutherpalooza style ‘Happy Fun Time!” logo created for the Bilderburg Fringe Festival which first set my alarm bells off. While real anti-Globalist protestors were being slaughtered in the streets of Istanbul, protestors on this side of world were partaking in a 'party atmosphere' where they can scream in delight at the sight of the ‘superstars of Truth’ right in front of them, seemed just wrong to me This wasn’t a protest - it was a party.
Then I began to ask myself who was behind this event... The name Charlie Skelton emerged from the hype. Skelton is a mainstream TV presenter known for, and proud of playing practical jokes on gullible people while making them look especially stupid for the TV cameras. His most notorious project, ‘Space Cadets’ was a reality TV show in which a group of gullible people believed they were actually training for a space mission and then went into space. They all fell for it and how we laughed and howled at their stupidity while Charlie Skelton penned for the Guardian in the aftermath of his satisfactory Gaslighting of these people:
"I saw the planet spinning below us. I shuffled humbly back into the mid-deck and wrote a poem about how...the poem was a tapestry of lies."
One now has to wonder now if the whole Bilderburg Fringe Festival may be a set up by Charlie Skelton and the ever present and industrious Home Counties Activist/Socialist/Mi5 Crowd, who like to involve themselves in protests by sauntering from “Stately Homes” to “Demos” in order to kill time waiting for the Henley Regatta to come back around again. The purpose of this set-up might be to create a fake festival in the same style as a documentary from about 10 years ago which built the facade of a fake superstore in the Czech Republic in order to demonstrate people's ability to get sucked up into hype and mind control while making fun of them.
I hope it is not true as it could destroy the entire movement in one 'send-up' film. Portraying the Truthers as the biggest ‘Sheeple’ of all? Now I am even starting to think that the Bilderburgers are not even in that building in Watford and the entire meeting is a fake set-up for TV fun and frolics in the same vein as the fake Czech superstore mockumentary.
Could Charlie Skelton be doing the same to the ‘Truthers’ with this 'protest'? Why else would he be there? To help overthrow the individuals who keep him employed? Think about that one while your screaming hysterically at the sight of Alex Jones and the other ‘stars’ while people are lying dead and dying in Istanbul.
