Every year in June, heads of state and senior bankers gather in a secret place, without a media presence, and discuss issues whose nature no one knows. This group is called the Bilderberg Group, it has been operating since 1954, and the truth? There are fewer and fewer reasons to doubt the eccentrics who warn of a conspiracy to take over the world economy
One bright morning in June 2011. The buzz in the position of the Secretary of the IMF Chairman rips the air.
One bright morning in June 2011. The buzz in the position of the Secretary of the IMF Chairman rips the air.
"And what is already fixed in your diary?", The secretary wonders.
"And what is already fixed in your diary?", The secretary wonders.
"And what is already fixed in your diary?", The secretary wonders.
"And what is already fixed in your diary?", The secretary wonders.
At the same time a similar conversation took place, including the order to leave the diary blank, between about a hundred officials and their secretaries around the world: prime ministers and presidents, royalty, directors of giant companies, leading bankers, central bank governors. Everyone who is the top of the world economy, and received a few minutes before the announcement that he was chosen to be one of the participants in the upcoming conference of the "Bilderberg" group in Switzerland.
This happens once a year in June since 1954, each time in a different country, and conference participants do not know until the last second if they will be invited, and if so - where. Group secrecy is a top value, and when the long-awaited phone call arrives, the instruction is simple: no one knows where you are going and for what reason. Invent a story, fabricate a vacation, even a short flu is possible. If anyone still finds out you were invited, do not bother to come; Your order has been canceled. Seriously, it has happened many times that prime ministers have found themselves embarrassed in front of a slammed door.
Thus, in the 21st century, without communication and without protocol, the leaders of the world economy converge as if they were a bunch of absolute secrets
Problem journalists detained at the airport
Thus, in the 21st century, without communication and without protocol, the leaders of the world economy converge as if they were a bunch of absolute secretsBilderberg“. It is clear that none of the participants were ever interviewed about what was said at the conference, and all that is left is just to guess what is going on there. Strange that in our age such things still happen, no? When the media controls everything, and in a second familiar faces are photographed on smartphones and sent to newspaper systems, how can one hide a gathering of so many spies in one place?
Fact is possible, and the explanation is simple: some of the group members are the biggest media moguls in the world, and have the power to easily filter out any relevant item. They are joined by prime ministers under the command of armies and police forces, and this combination makes journalists very polite and obedient. There is no room to deviate from the guidelines of the vertices, and whoever tries to be clever snatches.
At a conference in 2009 held in Greece, a British journalist was thrown in jail twice, just because he dared to photograph a car of one of the conference attendees. Journalists who are marked as problematic are miraculously detained even at airports, and there is quite a bit of evidence of sudden losses and unclear damage to photographic and recording equipment around the conference area.
Those who have already managed to get close to the convention center or the hotel where the guests are staying attest to the monstrous security of hundreds of policemen, CIA agents, helicopters in the air, and at least at a conference held in Greece even two F16s. The hotel of the participants is closed exclusively in their honor, and groups of security guards and staff replace the hotel staff on a regular basis.
To understand how successful they are at the task, ask yourself how it is that you have not heard to date about the most important conference held in almost 60 years. And it's not that you should feel uncomfortable: there is currently not a single person who can name with certainty even half of the 130 guests invited to each convention.
The beginning was rather well-known and transparent: Dutch Prince Bernhard and Belgian Prime Minister Van Zeeland, with the support of US President Eisenhower, proposed holding a summit on politics and the economy. The first conference was held in May 1954 at the De Bilderberg Hotel near Arnhem in the Netherlands; Representatives from 11 Western European countries and the United States arrived, the incident was horribly exposed and publicized, and there was no shred of secrecy.
But on the third day of the conference something happened. No one knows exactly what was said and who said it, but in one moment the participants stopped cooperating with the journalists and settled for laconic answers, if any. What would later become one of the largest conspiracy theories in the world began as a snowball that swelled from year to year: if at first they still knew who the participants were, then in 1957 only the location of the conference was known in the United States, and in 1965 the participants themselves did not know whether .
When it comes to participation it is important to understand that status and money play no role; It is not possible to buy a ticket or invite yourself, and the committee that selects the participants zealously maintains the criteria that often leave presidents and kings off the list.
Throughout history the official announcement of the conference organizers has changed according to the events of the period. Once the stated goal was the preservation of democracy, and once the preservation of free trade agreements. In recent years, according to the organizers - a steering committee of two permanent representatives from 18 countries - they have been dealing mainly with a world free of nuclear weapons and terrorism. What about bankers and nuclear weapons or the governor of the World Bank and terrorism is not clear, but let's not forget that beauty queens also claim to be there for world peace. Who are we to argue.
Spider network of organizations and personnel Capital
In 2010, the Bilders were almost forced to give an account in the European Parliament in Brussels. Daniel Astolin, a writer and journalist whose book "The True Story of the Bilderberg Group" sold more than ten million copies, revealed the group's leaders and their pull at every significant event in the world.
Astolin claims that the Bilderberg Group is a spider web of organizations and capitalists who maintain a "secret government behind the shadows that aims to erase national sovereignty and replace it with global and economic corporate control while constantly monitoring the police." The book claims that the group's leaders are creating fictitious economic crises to take over countries and minerals, that they are doing insane manipulations on stock exchanges, capital markets and the global media, and that they are even assassinating those who dare to come out against them.
Sounds a bit Hollywood, but considering that stock market billionaire George Soros and US Presidents Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush once admitted with a half-smile that they are part of the group, it is not certain that this possibility can be ruled out outright. If there is still doubt, then a few days after his remarks Estolin was forced to look for a new job and a new home to live in, and Mario Burgasio who dared to invite him to parliament was arrested and even issued a restraining order from the group convergence areas.
The central conspiracy theory holds that the group's leaders aspire to form a comprehensive global government under whose authority they will be able to exploit the natural resources and cheap manpower of Third World countries. Proponents of her case have been working to make the actual transcript of this statement available online.
Proof of this is found in the fact that among all those economic leaders are often invited early political leaders as well. Miraculously, almost every such junior leader who was documented or estimated to be present at the group conference found his place as prime minister within years, as did anonymous economists who became bank governors (according to many opinions, Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer is a regular among group members).
Opponents of Bilderberg even claim that the recent rallies were sham conferences aimed at diverting fire from real-life conferences, and indeed in 2011 senior executives such as Google chairman Eric Schmidt and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos were invited - non-respectable people The natural destination of team members.
Just because we're paranoid does not mean we are not being chased. With all the desire to be rational, it's really hard not to wonder why none of the conference events were ever filmed and why the discussions are not open to the media. The absolute ban on all recording and the introduction of writing instruments also fuels conspiracy theories.
Just imagine prime ministers and bank governors standing in line at the entrance to the hall, depositing in the basket cellular devices like the last of the children on a roller coaster in Superland. Somehow it makes more sense to assume that they are really trying to take over the world than coming to hear a lecture on the risks of inflation in the coming year.
