A review of Daniel Estulin's book about The Bilderberg Group
"The True Story of the Bilderberg Group" and What They May Be Planning Now
ByStephen

Global
Research, May 25, 2014
For over 14 years, Daniel Estulin has investigated and researched the Bilderberg Group's far-reaching influence on business and finance, global politics, war and peace, and control of the world's resources and its money.
His
book, "The True Story of the Bilderberg Group," was
published in 2005 and is now updated in a new 2009 edition. He states
that in 1954, "the most powerful
men in the world met for the first time" in Oosterbeek,
Netherlands, "debated the future of
the world," and decided to meet annually
in secret. They called themselves the Bilderberg Group with a
membership representing a who's who of
world power elites, mostly from America,
Canada, and Western Europe with familiar names like David
Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Bill
Clinton, Gordon Brown, Angela Merkel, Alan
Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Larry Summers, Tim Geithner, Lloyd
Blankfein, George Soros, Donald
Rumsfeld, Rupert Murdoch, other heads of state,
influential senators, congressmen and parliamentarians, Pentagon and
NATO brass, members of European royalty,
selected media figures, and invited others - some quietly by some
accounts like Barack Obama and many of
his top officials.
Always
well represented are top figures from the Council on Foreign
Relations (CFR), IMF, World Bank,
Trilateral Commission, EU, and powerful
central bankers from the Federal Reserve, the ECB's Jean-Claude
Trichet, and Bank of England's Mervyn
King.
For
over half a century, no agenda or discussion topics became public nor
is any press coverage allowed. The few invited fourth estate
attendees and their bosses are sworn to
secrecy. Nonetheless, Estulin undertook "an investigative
journey" that became his life's work. He states:
"Slowly,
one by one, I have penetrated the layers of secrecy surrounding the
Bilderberg Group, but I could not have
done this withot help of 'conscientious
objectors' from inside, as well as outside, the Group's membership."
As a result, he keeps their names confidential.
Whatever
its early mission, the Group is now "a shadow world
government,threatening to take away our right to direct our own destinies
(by creating) a disturbing reality" very much harming the
public's welfare. In short,
Bilderbergers want to supplant individual nation-state sovereignty
with an all-powerful global government, corporate controlled, and
check-mated by militarized enforcement.
"Imagine
a private club where presidents, prime ministers, international bankers
and generals rub shoulders, where gracious royal chaperones ensure
everyone gets along, and where the
people running the wars, markets, and Europe
(and America) say what they never dare say in public."
Early
in its history, Bilderbergers decided "to create an 'Aristocracy
of purpose' between Europe and the
United States (to reach consensus to rule the world on matters of)
policy, economics, and (overall) strategy." NATO was
essential for their plans - to ensure "perpetual war (and)
nuclear blackmail" to be used as
necessary. Then proceed to loot the planet, achieve fabulous wealth
and power, and crush all challengers to keep it.
Along
with military dominance, controlling the world's money is crucial for
with it comes absolute control as the
powerful 19th century Rothschild family
understood. As the patriarch Amschel Rothschild once said: "Give
me control
of a nation's money and I care not who makes its laws."
Bilderbergers
comprise the world's most exclusive club. No one buys their way
in. Only the Group's Steering Committee decides whom to invite, and
in all cases participants are adherents
to One World Order governance run by top
power elites.
According
to Steering Committee rules:
"the
invited guests must come alone; no wives, girlfriends, husbands
or boyfriends. Personal assistants (meaning security, bodyguards,
CIA or other secret service protectors) cannot attend the conference
and must eat in a separate hall. (Also) The guests are explicitly
forbidden from giving interviews to journalists" or divulge
anything that goes on in meetings.
Host
governments provide overall security to keep away outsiders.
One-third of attendees are political figures. The others are
from industry, finance, academia, labor and communications.
Meeting
procedure is by Chatham House Rules letting attendees freely
express their views in a relaxed atmosphere knowing nothing
said will be quoted or revealed to the public. Meetings "are
always frank, but do not always conclude with consensus."
Membership
consists of annual attendees (around 80 of the world's most powerful)
and others only invited occasionally because of their knowledge or
involvement in relevant topics. Those most valued are asked back, and
some first-timers are chosen for their possible later usefulness.
Arkansas
governor Bill Clinton, for example, who attended in 1991. "There,
David Rockefeller told (him) why the
North American Free Trade Agreement.was
a Bilderberg priority and that the group needed him to support
it. The next year, Clinton was elected president," and on
January 1, 1994 NAFTA took effect. Numerous other examples are
similar, including who
gets chosen for powerful government, military and other key
positions.
Bilderberg
Objectives
The
Group's grand design is for "a One World Government (World
Company) with a single, global
marketplace, policed by one world army, and financially
regulated by one 'World (Central) Bank' using one global currency."
Their "wish list" includes:
- "one
international identify (observing) one set of universal values;"
-
centralized control of world populations by "mind control;"
in other words,
controlling
world public opinion;
- a
New World Order with no middle class, only "rulers and servants
(serfs),"
and, of course, no democracy;
- "a
zero-growth society" without prosperity or progress, only
greater wealth
and
power for the rulers;
-
manufactured crises and perpetual wars;
-
absolute control of education to program the public mind and train
those
chosen
for various roles;
-
"centralized control of all foreign and domestic policies;"
one size fits all
globally;
-
using the UN as a de facto world government imposing a UN tax on
"world
citizens;"
-
expanding NAFTA and WTO globally;
-
making NATO a world military;
-
imposing a universal legal system; and
- a
global "welfare state where obedient slaves will be rewarded and
non-
conformists
targeted for extermination."
Secret
Bilderberg Partners
In the
US, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is dominant. One of its
1921 founders, Edward Mandell House, was
Woodrow Wilson's chief advisor and
rumored at the time to be the nation's real power from 1913 - 1921.
On his watch, the Federal Reserve Act
passed in December 1913 giving money creation
power to bankers, and the 16th Amendment was ratified in February
creating the federal income tax to provide a revenue stream to pay
for government debt service.
From
its beginnings, CFR was committed to "a one-world government
based on a centralized global financing
system." Today, CFR has
thousands of influential members
(including important ones in the corporate media) but keeps
a low public profile, especially regarding its real agenda.
Historian
Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. called it a "front organization (for)
the heart
of the American Establishment." It meets privately and only
publishes what it wishes the public to know. Its members are only
Americans.
The
Trilateral Commission (discussed below) is a similar group that
"brings together global power brokers." Founded by David
Rockefeller, he's also a leading
Bilderberger and CFR Chairman Emeritus, organizations he continues
to finance and support.
Their
past and current members reflect their power:
-
nearly all presidential candidates of both parties;
-
leading senators and congressmen;
- key
members of the fourth estate and their bosses; and
- top
officials of the FBI, CIA, NSA, defense establishment, and other
leading government agencies, including
state, commerce, the judiciary and treasury.
For
its part, "CFR has served as a virtual employment agency for the
federal government under both Democrats and Republicans."
Whoever occupies the White House, "CFR's
power and agenda" have been unchanged since its 1921 founding.
It
advocates a global superstate with America and other nations
sacrificing their sovereignty to a
central power. CFR founder Paul Warburg was a member
of Roosevelt's "brain trust." In 1950, his son, James, told
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee:
"We shall have world government whether or not
you like it - by conquest or consent."
Later
at the 1992 Bilderberg Group meeting, Henry Kissinger said:
"Today,
Americans would be outraged if UN troops entered Los Angeles to
restore order; tomorrow, they will be grateful. This is especially
true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond,
whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It
is then that all people of the world will plead with world
leaders to deliver them from this evil,individual
rights will be willingly relinquished
for the guarantee of their well-being granted
to them by their world government."
CFR
planned a New World Order before 1942, and the "UN began with a
group of CFR members called the Informal
Agenda Group." They drafted the original
UN proposal, presented it to Franklin Roosevelt who announced it
publicly the next day. At its 1945
founding, CFR members comprised over 40 of
the US delegates.
According
to Professor G. William Domhoff, author of Who Rules America, the CFR
operates in "small groups of about twenty-five, who bring
together leaders from the six
conspirator categories (industrialists, financiers, ideologues,
military, professional specialists - lawyers, medical doctors, etc.
- and
organized labor) for detailed discussions of specific topics in the
area of
foreign affairs."
Domhoff added:
Domhoff added:
"The
Council on Foreign Relations, while not financed by government, works
so closely with it that it is difficult
to distinguish Council action stimulated by
government from autonomous actions. (Its) most important sources of
income are leading corporations and
major foundations." The Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Ford
Foundations to name three, and they're directed by key corporate
officials.
Dominant
Media Partners
Former
CBS News president Richard Salant (1961 - 64 and 1966 - 79) explained
the major media's role: "Our job is to give people not what they want,
but what we decide they ought to have."
CBS
and other media giants control everything we see, hear and read -
through television, radio, newspapers, magazines, books, films, and
large portions of the Internet. Their
top officials and some journalists attend Bilderberg
meetings - on condition they report nothing.
The
Rockefeller family wields enormous power, even though its reigning
patriarch, David, will be 94 on June 12
and surely near the end of his dominance.
However, for years "the Rockefellers (led by David) gained great
influence over the media. (With it) the
family gained sway over public opinion.
With the pulse of public opinion, they gained deep influence in
politics. And with this politics of
subtle corruption, they are taking control of the nation" and
now aim for total world domination.
The
Bilderberger-Rockefeller scheme is to make their views "so
appealing (by camouflaging them) that they become public policy (and
can) pressure world leaders into
submitting to the 'needs of the Masters of the Universe.' " The
"free world press" is their instrument to disseminate
"agreed-upon propaganda."
CFR
Cabinet Control
"The
National Security Act of 1947 established the office of Secretary of
Defense." Since then, 14 DOD
secretaries have been CFR members.
Since
1940, every Secretary of State, except James Byrnes, has been a CFR
member and/or Trilateral Commission (TC)
one.
For
the past 80 years, "Virtually every key US National Security and
Foreign Policy Advisor has been a CFR
member.
Nearly
all top generals and admirals have been CFR members.
Many
presidential candidates were/are CFR members, including Herbert
Hoover, Adlai Stevenson, Dwight
Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Richard Nixon,
Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter (also a charter TC member), George HW Bush,
Bill Clinton, John Kerry, and John McCain.
Numerous
CIA directors were/are CFR members, including Richard Helmes, James
Schlesinger, William Casey, William Webster, Robert Gates, James
Woolsey, John Deutsch, George Tenet, Porter Goss, Michael Hayden, and
Leon Panetta.
Many
Treasury Secretaries were/are CFR members, including Douglas Dillon,
George Schultz, William Simon, James Baker, Nicholas Brady, Lloyd
Bentsen, Robert Rubin, Henry Paulson, and Tim Geithner.
When
presidents nominate Supreme Court candidates, the CFR's "Special
Group, Secret Team" or advisors vet them for acceptability.
Presidents, in fact, are told who to
appoint, including designees to the High Court and most lower
ones.
Programming
the Public Mind
According
to sociologist Hadley Cantril in his 1967 book, The Human Dimension
- Experiences in Policy Research:
Government
"Psycho-political operations are propaganda campaigns designed
to create perpetual tension and to manipulate different groups of
people to accept the particular climate
of opinion the CFR seeks to achieve in the
world."
Canadian
writer Ken Adachi (1929 - 1989) added:
"What
most Americans believe to be 'Public Opinion' is in reality carefully
crafted and scripted propaganda designed to elicit a desired
behavioral response from the public."
And
noted Australian academic and activist Alex Carey (1922 - 1988)
explained the three most important 20th century developments
- "The growth of democracy, the growth of corporate
power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means
of protecting corporate power against democracy."
Web
of Control
Numerous
think tanks, foundations, the major media, and other key
organizations are staffed with CFR
members. Most of its life-members also belong
to the TC and Bilderberg Group, operate secretly, and wield enormous
power over US and world affairs.
The
Rockefeller-Founded Trilateral Commission (TC)
On
page 405 of his Memoirs, David Rockfeller wrote:
"Some
even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the
best interests of the United States characterizing my family and
me as 'internationalists' and conspiring with others around the
world to build a more integrated global political and economic
structure - one world, if you will. If
that's the charge, I stand guilty,
and I am proud of it."
In
alliance with Bilderbergers, the TC also "plays a vital role in
the New World
Order's scheme to use wealth, concentrated in the hands of the few,
to exert world control." TC members share common views and all
relate to total unchallengeable global dominance.
Founded
in 1973 and headquartered in Washington, its powerful US, EU and East
Asian members seek its operative founding goal - a "New
International Economic Order," now
simply a "New World Order" run by global elites from these
three parts of the world with lesser members admitted from other
countries.
According
to TC's web site, "each regional group has a chairman and deputy
chairman, who all together constitute
the leadership of the Committee. The Executive
Committee draws together a further 36 individuals from the wider
membership," proportionately representing the US, EU, and East
Asia in its early years, now enlarged to be broadly global.
Committee
members meet several times annually to discuss and coordinate their
work. The Executive Committee chooses members, and at any time around
350 belong for a three-year renewable period. Everyone is a
consummate insider with expertise in business, finance, politics, the
military, or the media, including past
presidents, secretaries of state, international bankers, think tank
and foundation executives, university presidents
and selected academics, and former senators and congressmen, among
others.
Although
its annual reports are available for purchase, its inner workings,
current goals, and operations are secret - with good reason. Its
objectives harm the public so mustn't be
revealed. Trilaterals over Washington author Antony
Sutton wrote:
"this
group of private citizens is precisely organized in a manner that
ensures its collective views have significant impact on public
policy."
In her
book, Trilateralism: The Trilateral Commission and Elite Planning for
World
Management, Holly Sklar wrote:
Powerful
figures in America, Europe, and East Asia let "the
rich,safeguard the
interests of Western capitalism in an explosive world - probably by
discouraging protectionism, nationalism,
or any response that would pit the elites
of one against the elites of another," in their common quest for
global dominance.
Trilateralist
Zbigniew Brzezinski (TC's co-founder) wrote in his Between
Two
Ages - America's Role in the Technotronic Era:
"people,
governments and economies of all nations must serve the needs
of multinational banks and corporations. (The Constitution is)
inadequate,the old framework of
international politics, with their
sphere of influence,the fiction of
sovereignty,is clearly no longer
compatible with reality."
TC
today is now global with members from countries as diverse as
Argentina, Ukraine, Israel, Jordan,
Brazil, Turkey, China and Russia. In his Trilaterals
Over America, Antony Sutton believes that TC's aim is to collaborate
with Bilderbergers and CFR in "establishing public policy
objectives to be implemented by
governments worldwide." He added that "Trilateralists
have rejected the US Constitution and the democratic political
process." In fact, TC was
established to counter a "crisis in democracy" - too much
of it that had to be contained.
An
official TC report was fearful about "the increased popular
participation in and control over
established social, political, and economic institutions and
especially a reaction against the concentration of power of Congress
and of
state and local government."
To
address this, media control was essential to exert "restraint on
what newspapers may publish (and TV and
radio broadcast)." Then according to Richard
Gardner in the July 1974 issue of Foreign Affairs (a CFR publication):
CFR's
leadership must make "an end run around national sovereignty,
eroding it piece by piece," until the very notion disappears
from public discourse.
Bilderberg/CFR/Trilateralist
success depends on finding "a way to get us to surrender
our liberties in the name of some common threat or crisis. The
foundations, educational institutions,
and research think tanks supported by (these
organizations) oblige by financing so-called 'studies' which are then
used to justify their every excess. The
excuses vary, but the target is always individual
liberty. Our liberty" and much more.
Bilderbergers,
Trilateralists and CFR members want "an all-encompassing
monopoly" - over government, money,
industry, and property that's "self- perpetuating and eternal."
In Confessions of a Monopolist (1906), Frederick C.
Howe explained its workings in practice:
"The
rules of big business: Get a monopoly; let Society work for you.
So long as we see all international revolutionaries and all
international capitalists as implacable enemies of one another, then
we miss a crucial point,a partnership
between international
monopoly capitalism
and international revolutionary
socialism is for their mutual benefit."
In the
Rockefeller File, Gary Allen wrote:
"By
the late nineteenth century, the inner sanctums of Wall Street
understood that the most efficient way
to gain a monopoly was to say it
was for the 'public good' and 'public interest.' "
David
Rockefeller learned the same thing from his father, John D., Jr. who learned
it from his father, John D. Sr. They hated competition and relentlessly
strove to eliminate it - for David on a global scale through a New
World Order.
In the
1970s and 1980s, Trilateralists and CFR members collaborated on the
latter's "1980 Project," the
largest ever CFR initiative to steer world events "toward
a particular desirable future outcome (involving) the utter disintegration
of the economy." Why so is the question?
Because
by the 1950s and 1960s, worldwide industrial growth meant more
competition. It was also a model to be
followed, and "had to be strangled in the cradle" or at
least greatly contained. In America as well beginning in the 1980s.
The result has been a transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich,
shrinkage of the middle class, and plan
for its eventual demise.
The
North American Union (NAU)
The
idea emerged during the Reagan administration in the early 1980s.
David Rockefeller, George Schultz and
Paul Volker told the president that Canada and America could be
politically and economically merged over the next
15 years except for one problem - French-speaking Quebec. Their
solution - elect a Bilderberg-friendly
prime minister, separate Quebec from the
other provinces, then make Canada America's 51st state. It almost
worked, but not quite when a 1995 secession referendum was defeated -
50.56% to 49.44%, but not the idea of
merger.
At a
March 23, 2005 Waco, Texas meeting, attended by George Bush, Mexico's
Vincente Fox, and Canada's Paul Martin, the Security and and
Prosperity Partnership (SPP) was
launched, also known as the North American
Union (NAU). It was a secretive Independent Task Force of North
America agreement - a group organized by
the Canadian Council of Chief Executives
(CCCE), the Mexican Council on Foreign Relations, and CFR with the
following aims:
-
circumventing the legislatures of three countries and their
constitutions;
-
suppressing public knowledge or consideration;
-
proposing greater US, Canadian and Mexican economic, political,
social, and security integration with
secretive working groups formed to devise non- debatable, not voted
on agreements to be binding and unchangeable.
In
short - a corporate coup d'etat against the sovereignty of three
nations enforced by hard line
militarization to suppress opposition.
If
enacted, it will create a borderless North America, corporate
controlled, without barriers to trade or
capital flows for business giants, mainly US ones and
much more - America's access to vital resources, especially oil and
Canada's fresh water.
Secretly,
over 300 SPP initiatives were crafted to harmonize the continent's
policies on energy, food, drugs,
security, immigration, manufacturing, the environment,
and public health along with militarizing three nations for enforcement.
SPP
represents another step toward the Bilderberg/Trilateralist/CFR goal
for World Government, taking it one step
at a time.
A "United Europe" was another,
the result of various treaties and economic agreements:
- the
December 1951 six-nation European Coal and Steel Community
(ECSC);
- the
March 1957 six-nation Treaty of Rome establishing the European
Economic
Community (EEC);
also
the European Atomic Energy Commission (EAEC) by a second Treaty of
Rome;
- the
October 1957 European Court of Justice to settle regional trade
disputes;
- the
May 1960 seven-nation European Free Trade Association (EFTA);
- the
July 1967 European Economic Community (EEC) merging the ECSC,
EAEC
and EEC together in one organization;
- the
1968 European Customs Union to abolish duties and establish uniform
imports
taxing among EEC nations;
- the
1978 European Currency Unit (ECU);
- the
February 1986 Single European Act revision of the 1957 Treaty of
Rome; it established the objective of
forming a Common Market by
December
31, 1992;
- the
February 1992 Maastricht Treaty creating the EU on November 1,
1993;
and
- the
name euro was adopted in December 1995; it was introduced in January
1999 replacing the European Currency Unit (ECU); euros began
circulating on January 2002; they're now
the official currency of 16 of the 27 EU
states.
Over
half a century, the above steps cost EU members their sovereignty "as
some 70 to 80 per cent of the laws
passed in Europe involve just rubber stamping
of regulations already written by nameless bureaucrats in 'working groups'
in Brussels or Luxembourg."
The EU
and NAU share common features:
-
advocacy from a influential spokesperson;
- an
economic and later political union;
- hard
line security, and for Europe, ending wars on the continent between
EU
member states;
-
establishment of a collective consciousness in place of nationalism;
- the
blurring of borders and creation of a "supra-government," a
superstate;
-
secretive arrangements to mask real objectives; and
- the
creation of a common currency and eventual global one.
Steps
Toward a North American Union
- the
October 4, 1988 Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between the US and
Canada,
finalized the previous year;
- at
the 1991 Bilderberg meeting, David Rockefeller got governor Bill
Clinton's
support for NAFTA if he became president;
- on
January 1, 1994, with no debate under "fast-track" rules,
Congress
approved
WTO legislation;
- in
December 1994 at the first Summit of the Americas, 34 Hemispheric
leaders committed their nations to a
Free Trade of the Americas agreement (FTAA)
by 2005 - so far unachieved;
- on
July 4, 2000, Mexican president Vincente Fox called for a North
American
common market in 20 years;
- on
February 2001, the White House published a joint statement from
George Bush and Vincente Fox called the
"Guanajuato Proposal;" it was for a US-Canada-Mexico
prosperity partnership (aka North American Union);
- in
September 2001, Bush and Fox agreed to a "Partnership for
Prosperity
Initiative;"
- the
September 11, 2001 attack gave cover to including "security"
as part of
a
future partnership;
- on
October 7, 2001, a CFA meeting highlighted "The Future of North
American Integration in the Wake of Terrorist Attacks; for the first
time, "security" became part
of a future "partnership for prosperity;" also, Canada was to
be included in a "North American" agreement;
- in
2002, the North American Forum on Integration (NAFI) was established
in Montreal "to address the issues raised by North American
integration as well as identify new
ideas and strategies to reinforce the North American
region;"
- in
January 2003, the Canadian Council of Chief Executives (CCCE -
composed of 150 top CEOs) launched the "North American Security
and Prosperity
Initiative" calling for continental integration;
- in
April 2004, Canadian prime minister Paul Martin announced the nation's
first ever national security policy called Securing an Open Society;
- on
October 15, 2004, CFR established an Independent Task Force on the Future
of North America - for a future continental union;
- in
March 2005, a CFR report titled Creating a North American Community
called for continental integration by
2010 "to enhance, prosperity, and opportunity
for all North Americans;" and
- on
March 23, 2005 in Waco, Texas, America, Canada and Mexico leaders
launched the Security and Prosperity
Partnership (SPP) - aka North American
Union (NAU).
Secretive
negotiations continue. Legislative debate is excluded, and public
inclusion and debate are off the table. In May 2005, the CFR
Independent Task Force on the Future of
North America published a follow-up report titled
Building a North American Community - proposing a borderless
three-nation union by 2010.
In
June and July 2005, the Dominican Republic - Central America Free
Trade Agreement (DR-CAFTA) passed the
Senate and House establishing corporate-approved trade rules to
further impoverish the region and move a step
closer to continental integration.
In
March 2006, the North American Competitiveness Council (NACC) was
created at the second SPP summit in Cancun, Mexico. Composed of 30
top North
American CEOs, it serves as an official trilateral SPP working group.
Secret
business and government meetings continue so there's no way to
confirm SPP's current status or if
Barack Obama is seamlessly continuing George
Bush's agenda. In an earlier article, this writer said:
SPP
efforts paused during the Bush to Obama transition, but "deep
integration" plans remain. Canada's
Fraser Institute proposed renaming the initiative
the North American Standards and Regulatory Area (NASRA) to disguise
its real purpose. It said the "SPP brand" is tarnished so
re-branding is essential - to fool the
public until it's too late to matter.
Bilderbergers,
Trilaterists, and CFR leaders back it as another step toward global
integration and won't "stop until the entire world is unified
under the auspices and the political
umbrella of a One World Company, a nightmarish borderless
world run by the world's most powerful clique" - comprised of
key elitist members of these dominant organizations.
In
April 2007, the Transatlantic Economic Council was established
between
America
and the EU to:
-
create an "official international governmental body - by
executive fiat;
-
harmonize economic and regulatory objectives;
- move
toward a Transatlantic Common Market; and
- a
step closer to One World Government run by the world's most powerful
corporate interests.
Insights
into the 2009 Bilderberg Group Meeting
From
May 14 - 17, Bilderbergers held their annual meeting in Vouliagmeni,
Greece, and according to Daniel Estulin
have dire plans for global economies.
According
to his pre-meeting sources, they're divided on two alternatives:
"Either
a prolonged, agonizing depression that dooms the world to decades of
stagnation, decline and poverty (or) an intense but shorter
depression that paves the way for a new
sustainable world order, with less sovereignty but
more
efficiency."
Other
agenda items included:
- "the
future of the US dollar and US economy;"
-
continued deception about green shoots signaling an end to recession
and
improving
economy later in the year;
-
suppressing the fact that bank stress tests were a sham and were
designed
for
deception, not an accurate assessment of major banks' health;
-
projecting headlined US unemployment to hit 14% by year end - way
above current forecasts and meaning the true number will be double,
at
minimum,
with all uncounted categories included; and
- a
final push to get the Lisbon Treaty passed for pan-European (EU)
adoption of neoliberal rules, including
greater privatizations, fewer worker rights
and social benefits, open border trade favoring developed over
emerging states, and greater
militarization to suppress civil liberties and human
rights.
After
the meeting, Estulin got a 73-page report on what was discussed. He
noted that "One of Bilderberg's
primary concerns.is the danger that
their zeal to reshape the world by
engineering chaos (toward) their long term agenda
could cause the situation to spiral out of control and eventually
lead to a scenario where Bilderberg and
the global elite in general are
overwhelmed
by events and end up losing their control over the planet."
Estulin
also noted some considerable disagreement between "hardliners"
wanting a "dramatic decline and a
severe, short-term depression (versus others)
who think that things have gone too far" so that "the
