During May 14-17 2009, the global elite met in secret in Greece for
the yearly Bilderberg conference. Roughly 130 of the world’s most
powerful individuals came together to discuss pressing economic issues.
The main topic of discussion was to address the economic crisis, in
terms of undertaking, “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 economic world order, with less sovereignty but more
efficiency.” Other items on the agenda included a plan to “continue to
deceive millions of savers and investors who believe the hype about the
supposed up-turn in the economy.” Swedish Foreign Minister and former
Prime Minister, Carl Bildt, made a speech advocating turning the World
Health Organization into a world department of health, advocating
turning the IMF into a world department of treasury, both of course
under the auspices of the United Nations.” One of Bilderberg’s primary
concerns is the danger that their zeal to reshape the world through
continuing economic chaos in order expand global capitalism could cause
the situation to spiral out of control and eventually lead to a scenario
where the global elite are overwhelmed by events and end up losing
control. The Bilderberg agenda of creating a global treasury has already
been started prior to the May meeting, with decisions made during the
G20 financial summit in April 2009.
Although the G20 seemed to frame it more in context of being formed
into a global central bank, although it is likely the IMF could fill
both roles. Following the Bilderberg meeting, “President Obama has asked
Congress to authorize $100 billion in loans to the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) to help create a $500 billion global bailout fund,”
which would give the IMF the essential prerogative of a global treasury,
providing bailouts for countries in need around the world.
