 Don’t tell anyone, don’t breathe a word, but the world’s most powerful men are
meeting secretly again to save the planet from economic catastrophe. Oh, and
their address, should you want to send them your opinions, is: c/o Nafsika
Astir Palace Hotel, Apollonos Avenue 40, 16671 Vouliagmeni, Greece.
Bed space is a bit tight there for the next two days while the Bilderberg
illuminati hold their private conclave in the five-star Greek hotel. Every
year since 1954 a club of about 130 senior or up-and-coming politicians
gather at the fireside of a secluded hotel with top bankers and a sprinkling
of royalty to discuss burning issues, to trade confidences and just stay
abreast of the I-know-something-you-don’t-know circuit. No lists of
participants are disclosed, no press conferences are held; spill the beans
and you’re out of the magic circle.
For those of us standing outside the locked gates all that is left is to hope
that they will sleep well, avoid jet ski injury and solve our problems for
us. For the Bilderbergers it is a little like that recent MI5 recruitment
ad: “See all your best work go unnoticed!”
Each country delegates two people to the steering committee that is the
intellectual hub of Bilderberg. In the past Kenneth Clarke, the Shadow
Business Secretary, and Martin Taylor, formerly head of Barclays Bank, have
had their hand on the British tiller.
This year the club is going to talk about depression. “According to the
pre-meeting booklet sent out to attendees, Bilderberg is looking at two
options,” says the Bilderberg-watcher Daniel Estulin — “either a prolonged,
agonising 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 economic world order, with less sovereignty but more
efficiency.”
Since Bilderberg does not officially exist, it cannot deny anything and is
therefore manna from heaven for the conspiracy theorist. Eurosceptics are
convinced that the future development of the European Union was plotted here
— EU commissioners have always been welcomed into the coven, with Peter “We
are intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich” Mandelson a
particular favourite. Margaret Thatcher, it is said, was a shy debutante at
a Bilderberg meeting in 1975.
The Bavarian Illuminati - founder Adam Weishaupt (February 6, 1748 – November 18, 1830)
Jim Tucker, veteran stalker of the Bilderberg club meetings, claims that Mrs
Thatcher was ordered “to dismantle British sovereignty, but she said, ‘no
way’, so they had her sacked”. Left-wing conspiracy theorists believe that
Bilderbergers form a capitalist nucleus, and there is a germ of truth in
this. The meetings were started in the Netherlands, in the Hotel de
Bilderberg, near Arnhem, by the Polish exile Joseph Retinger. He was worried
about growing anti-Americanism and the advance of Communism in Western
Europe. Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands agreed to sponsor the idea, the
head of the Central Intelligence Agency, Walter Bedell Smith, threw his
weight behind it and so did the White House.
The Bilderberg consensus is that national problems are best solved by an
internationally oriented elite, that a global network of decision-makers
should have a common language and that the boundaries are fluid between the
monied and the political classes.
And so there has been a natural bias towards inviting conservatives and market
liberals. The only socialists invited are those who “understand money”.
Ed Balls has taken part and the most indiscreet Bilderberger of all time was
Denis Healey, the former Labour Chancellor and fierce Atlanticist.
“To say we were striving for a one-world government is exaggerated, but not
wholly unfair,” Lord Healey told the author Jon Ronson for his book Them:
Adventures with Extremists. “Those of us in Bilderberg felt we couldn’t
go on for ever fighting one another for nothing. So we felt that a single
community throughout the world would be a good thing.”
Another way of viewing the club is that of Metropolitan Seraphim, the bishop
of Piraeus, who said that the Bilderbergers represented a “criminal cabal of
world Zionism and its efforts to set up a cruel world dictatorship under the
headship of Lucifer”. This line is quite common on the blogosphere, where
the club’s secrecy is taken as evidence of evil intentions.
Whether Lucifer will be down there on the sun-loungers remains to be seen. But
what we have been able to establish from a World Bank spokesman, Alexis
O’Brien, is that the organisation’s president, Robert Zoellick, will be in
Athens on unspecified business on May 14. And that US Treasury Secretary Tim
Geithner’s public schedule is mysteriously empty for the next two days. Jo
Ackermann, head of Deutsche Bank, will be travelling “somewhere in Europe”.
Jean-Claude Trichet, head of the European Central Bank, will not be around
until the end of the week.
You get the drift. Something is going on. If only somebody would let us in on
the secret.
