Bilderbergs
This company publishes a weekly newspaper, titled "The Spotlight".
An article on The Bilderbergers, Irresponsible Power", was published in mid-
June, 1975. Page 6 of this document reveals:
"The Congressional Record - U.S. Senate, April 11, 1964, states:
(Speaking) - Mr. (Jacob) Javits - 'Mr. President, the 13 th in a
series of Bilderberg meetings on international affairs, in which I participated,
was held in Williamsburg, VA, on March 20, 21, and 22. I ask unanimous consent
to have printed in the Record a background paper entitled - The Bilderberg
Meetings.'
The Bilderberg Meetings
The idea of the Bilderberg meetings originated in the early
fifties. Changes had taken place on the international political and economic
scene after World War II. The countries of the Western World felt the need for
closer collaboration to protect their moral and ethical values, their democratic
institutions, and their independence against the growing Communist threat. The
Marshall plan and NATO were examples of collective efforts of Western countries
to join hands in economic and military matters after World War II.
In the early 1950 's, a number of people on both sides of the
Atlantic sought a means of bringing together leading citizens, not necessarily
connected with government, for informal discussions of problems facing the
Atlantic community. Such meetings, they felt, would create a better
understanding of the forces and trends affecting Western nations, in particular.
They believed that direct exchanges could help to clear up differences and
misunderstandings that might weaken the West.
One of the men who saw the need for such discussions was the late
Dr. Joseph Hieronim Retinger. (as a matter of interest, the name Hieronim is
literally translated as meaning "MEMBER OF THE OCCULT"). In 1952, he approached
His Royal Highness, Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands, with the suggestion of
informal and unofficial meetings to discuss the problems facing the Atlantic
community. Others in Europe wholeheartedly supported the idea, and proposals
were submitted to American friends to join in the undertaking. A number of
Americans, including C. D. Jackson, the late General Walter Bedell Smith, and
the late John Coleman, agreed to cooperate.
The first meeting that brought Americans and Europeans together
took place under the chairmanship of Prince Bernhard (of The Netherlands) at the
Bilderberg Hotel in Oosterbeek, Holland, from May 29 to May 31, 1954. Ever
since, the meetings have been called Bilderberg meetings. *---
No Strict Rules of Procedure
From the outset, it was the intentions of the Bilderberg founders
and participants that no strict rules of procedure govern the meetings. Every
effort was made to create a relaxed, informal atmosphere conducive to free and
frank discussions. Bilderberg is in no sense a policy-making body. No
conclusions are reached. There is no voting, and no resolutions are passed. The
meetings are off- the- record. Only the participants themselves may attend the
meetings.
Participants
It was obvious from the first that the success of the meetings
would depend primarily on the level of the participants. Leading figures from
many fields - industry, labor, education, government, etc. - are invited, who,
through their special knowledge or experience, can help to further Bilderberg
objectives. Representatives of governments attend in a personal, and not an
official capacity. An attempt is made to include participants representing many
political parties and points of view. American participation has included
Members of Congress of both parties.
Over the years, Bilderberg participants have come from the NATO
countries, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria, and Finland, and have included
prominent individuals such as Dean Rusk, Christian A. Herter, Maurice Faure,
Franz-Josef Strauss, Amitore Fanfani, Panayotis Pipinelis, Reginald Maudling,
the late Hugh Gaitskell, Omer Becu, Guy Mollet, the late Michael Ross, Herman
Abs, C. L. Sulzberger, Joseph Harsch, and T. M. Terkelsen. Individuals with
international responsibilities have also participated, among them being Gen.
Alfred Gruenther, Lord Ismay, Eugene Black, Gen. Lyman Lemnitzer, Paul-Henry
Spaak, and the late Per Jacobsson.
The Meetings
Bilderberg meetings are held at irregular intervals, but have
taken place once or twice a year since 1954. All the early conferences were held
in Europe, but a meeting is now held on this side of the Atlantic every few
years to provide a convenient opportunity for American and Canadian participants
to attend."
The above is what they want you to believe. Below is much closer
to the real truth.
"The Spotlight" reports that the Bilderberg meetings are highly
secret, and are held at random times each year, and rarely at the same location,
for security reasons. The responsibility for security for these meetings is in
the hands of the government of the country in which the meetings are held. They
must supply military security, secret service, national and local police and
private security personnel to protect the privacy and safety of these very
powerful international Elite members who are not required to conform to
regulations that private citizens are subjected- to, such as customs searches,
visas requirements, or public notice of their meetings. When they meet, no
outsiders are allowed in or near the building. They bring their own food, cooks,
waiters, telephone operators, housekeepers and bodyguards.
The Bilderberg membership is made up of Kings, Queens, Princes,
Chancellors, Prime Ministers, Presidents, Ambassadors, Secretaries of State,
Wall Street investors, international bankers, news media executives, and wealthy
industrialist. Their meetings are by invitation only, and no outsiders in the
news media are allowed, except by special invitation.
However, the news media are always present at these meetings such
as: Peter Jennings (BB and Anchor & Senior Editor of ABC News, World News
Tonight), Joseph C. Harsch (BB, CFR and former Commentator for NBC, Inc.), Bill
D. Moyers (BB and Executive Director of Public Affairs TV, Inc. and former
Director of the CFR), William F. Buckley, Jr. (BB, CFR and Editor-in-Chief of
"National Review" and host of PBS's Firing Line), Gerald Piel (BB, CFR and
former Chairman of Scientific America, Inc.), Henry Anatole Grunwald (BB, CFR
and former Editor-in-Chief of "Time, Inc."), Mortimer B. Zuckerman (BB, CFR and
Chairman & Editor - in - Chief of the "US News and World Report", "New York
Daily News "and "Atlantic Monthly"), Robert L. Bartley (BB, CFR, TC and Vice
President of the "Wall Street Journal"), Peter Robert Kann (BB, CFR and Chairman
& CEO of Dow Jones & Company, and husband of Karen E. House, CFR),
William Kristol (BB and Editor & Publisher of the new "The Weekly Standard"
magazine), Donald (Don) C. Cook (BB, CFR and former European Diplomatic
Correspondent for the "Los Angeles Times"), Robert Leroy Bartley (BB, CFR, TC
and Vice President of the "Wall Street Journal"), Albert J. Wohlstetter (BB, CFR
and writer for the "Wall Street Journal"), Thomas L. Friedman (BB, CFR, TC and
columnist for the "New York Times"), and the "Queen" of the Elite - Katharine
Graham (BB, CFR, TC and Owner and Chairwoman of the Executive Committee of the
"Washington Post"). Even though these media moguls attend the secret meetings,
they do not file reports about the Elite Bilderberg activities during their
meetings, nor do they allow their reporters to write about these meetings.
A couple of weeks before the 1996 BB meeting, "The Spotlight" sent
over 600 notices to key members of all forms of news media, including Rush
Limbaugh, Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, Peter Jennings, and other prominent members of
news magazines, newspapers, television and radio, advising them of the pending
meeting, telling the date, time and place that the meeting would take place and
a list of probable attendees. Only four newspapers showed up, the "Toronto Sun",
"Toronto Star", "Globe & Mail", and "The Spotlight". The word is that
Katherine Graham put the word out that this meeting was "NOT" to be covered by
any news media for "ANY" reason. I personally called the editor of "USA Today"
to warn him of this meeting at least a week prior to this meeting. A couple of
weeks later, when asked why they did not attend, the answer was "We had more
important news to cover during this period."
