Versailles
|
Pepe Escobar writes in the Asia Times Online that the annual
meeting of the Bilderberg club was held in May in Versailles,
home of the French kings. The Bilderberg club is an
international group of people (mostly men) who are the power
elite in Europe and America. Critics of the organization say
members get together once a year to decide how to run
the world.
Besides powerful politicians, the Bilderberg club also hosts top
CEOs. Different people are invited every year. An anonymous
committee puts together a list of 100 names and the
meetings are shrouded in secrecy. Everyone who attends
pledges not to talk about what was discussed at the
meeting.
Some of the past and present attendees are Donald
Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, and U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary
Paul Wolfowitz. Money men have been represented by
members of the Rockefeller family. International affairs are
represented by Henry Kissinger, Queen Beatrix of the
Netherlands, and Queen Sofia and King Juan Carlos of Spain.
The Bilderberg doesn't invite Asians, Middle Easterners, Latin
Americans or Africans.
The idea behind the annual meetings is that what's good for
big business is good for the world. They have some shady
connections to the Nazis, via Prince Bernhard of the
Netherlands, the father of Queen Beatrix, who founded the
club in Bilderberg in 1954, in order to "increase understanding
between Europe and North America." Bernhard was a member
of Hitler's SS. One of the founding members of the Bilderberg
is Otto Wolff von Amerongen, who has been linked to the Nazi
theft of Jewish wealth during World War II.
Member Peter Sutherland, from Ireland, is chairman of
Goldman Sachs and British Petroleum. In 2000, he and
Rumsfeld served together on the board of Swiss energy
company ABB, which sold two light-water nuclear reactors to
North Korea, which they now admit they're using to make
bombs. When you wonder how in the world something like this
could have happened, it can be explained by the ultimate
mutual admiration society?the Bilderberg.
