For over 14 years, Daniel Estulin has investigated and researched
the Bilderberg Group’s far-reaching influence on business and finance,
global politics, war and peace, and control of the world’s resources and
its money.
His book, “The True Story of the Bilderberg Group,” was published in
2005 and is now updated in a new 2009 edition. He states that in 1954,
“the most powerful men in the world met for the first time” in
Oosterbeek, Netherlands, “debated the future of the world,” and decided
to meet annually in secret. They called themselves the Bilderberg Group
with a membership representing a who’s who of world power elites, mostly
from America, Canada, and Western Europe with familiar names like David
Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Bill Clinton, Gordon Brown, Angela
Merkel, Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Larry Summers, Tim Geithner, Lloyd
Blankfein, George Soros, Donald Rumsfeld, Rupert Murdoch, other heads
of state, influential senators, congressmen and parliamentarians,
Pentagon and NATO brass, members of European royalty, selected media
figures, and invited others – some quietly by some accounts like Barack
Obama and many of his top officials.
Always well represented are top figures from the Council on Foreign
Relations (CFR), IMF, World Bank, Trilateral Commission, EU, and
powerful central bankers from the Federal Reserve, the ECB’s Jean-Claude
Trichet, and Bank of England’s Mervyn King.
For over half a century, no agenda or discussion topics became public
nor is any press coverage allowed. The few invited fourth estate
attendees and their bosses are sworn to secrecy. Nonetheless, Estulin
undertook “an investigative journey” that became his life’s work. He
states:
“Slowly, one by one, I have penetrated the layers of secrecy
surrounding the Bilderberg Group, but I could not have done this withot
help of ‘conscientious objectors’ from inside, as well as outside, the
Group’s membership.” As a result, he keeps their names confidential.
Whatever its early mission, the Group is now “a shadow world
government….threaten(ing) to take away our right to direct our own
destinies (by creating) a disturbing reality” very much harming the
public’s welfare. In short, Bilderbergers want to supplant individual
nation-state sovereignty with an all-powerful global government,
corporate controlled, and check-mated by militarized enforcement.
“Imagine a private club where presidents, prime ministers,
international bankers and generals rub shoulders, where gracious royal
chaperones ensure everyone gets along, and where the people running the
wars, markets, and Europe (and America) say what they never dare say in
public.”
Early in its history, Bilderbergers decided “to create an
‘Aristocracy of purpose’ between Europe and the United States (to reach
consensus to rule the world on matters of) policy, economics, and
(overall) strategy.” NATO was essential for their plans – to ensure
“perpetual war (and) nuclear blackmail” to be used as necessary. Then
proceed to loot the planet, achieve fabulous wealth and power, and crush
all challengers to keep it.
Along with military dominance, controlling the world’s money is
crucial for with it comes absolute control as the powerful 19th century
Rothschild family understood. As the patriarch Amschel Rothschild once
said: “Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes its
laws.”
Bilderbergers comprise the world’s most exclusive club. No one buys
their way in. Only the Group’s Steering Committee decides whom to
invite, and in all cases participants are adherents to One World Order
governance run by top power elites.
According to Steering Committee rules:
“the invited guests must come alone; no wives,
girlfriends, husbands or boyfriends. Personal assistants (meaning
security, bodyguards, CIA or other secret service protectors) cannot
attend the conference and must eat in a separate hall. (Also) The guests
are explicitly forbidden from giving interviews to journalists” or
divulge anything that goes on in meetings.
Host governments provide overall security to keep away outsiders.
One-third of attendees are political figures. The others are from
industry, finance, academia, labor and communications.
Meeting procedure is by Chatham House Rules letting attendees freely
express their views in a relaxed atmosphere knowing nothing said will be
quoted or revealed to the public. Meetings “are always frank, but do
not always conclude with consensus.”
Membership consists of annual attendees (around 80 of the world’s
most powerful) and others only invited occasionally because of their
knowledge or involvement in relevant topics. Those most valued are asked
back, and some first-timers are chosen for their possible later
usefulness.
Arkansas governor Bill Clinton, for example, who attended in 1991.
“There, David Rockefeller told (him) why the North American Free Trade
Agreement….was a Bilderberg priority and that the group needed him to
support it. The next year, Clinton was elected president,” and on
January 1, 1994 NAFTA took effect. Numerous other examples are similar,
including who gets chosen for powerful government, military and other
key positions.
Bilderberg Objectives
The Group’s grand design is for “a One World Government (World
Company) with a single, global marketplace, policed by one world army,
and financially regulated by one ‘World (Central) Bank’ using one global
currency.” Their “wish list” includes:
– “one international identify (observing) one set of universal values;”
– centralized control of world populations by “mind control;” in other words, controlling world public opinion;
– a New World Order with no middle class, only “rulers and servants (serfs),” and, of course, no democracy;
– “a zero-growth society” without prosperity or progress, only greater wealth and power for the rulers;
– manufactured crises and perpetual wars;
– absolute control of education to program the public mind and train those chosen for various roles;
– “centralized control of all foreign and domestic policies;” one size fits all globally;
– using the UN as a de facto world government imposing a UN tax on “world citizens;”
– expanding NAFTA and WTO globally;
– making NATO a world military;
– imposing a universal legal system; and
– a global “welfare state where obedient slaves will be rewarded and non-conformists targeted for extermination.”
Secret Bilderberg Partners
In the US, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is dominant. One of
its 1921 founders, Edward Mandell House, was Woodrow Wilson’s chief
advisor and rumored at the time to be the nation’s real power from 1913 –
1921. On his watch, the Federal Reserve Act passed in December 1913
giving money creation power to bankers, and the 16th Amendment was
ratified in February creating the federal income tax to provide a
revenue stream to pay for government debt service.
From its beginnings, CFR was committed to “a one-world government
based on a centralized global financing system….” Today, CFR has
thousands of influential members (including important ones in the
corporate media) but keeps a low public profile, especially regarding
its real agenda.
Historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. called it a “front organization
(for) the heart of the American Establishment.” It meets privately and
only publishes what it wishes the public to know. Its members are only
Americans.
The Trilateral Commission (discussed below) is a similar group that
“brings together global power brokers.” Founded by David Rockefeller,
he’s also a leading Bilderberger and CFR Chairman Emeritus,
organizations he continues to finance and support.
Their past and current members reflect their power:
– nearly all presidential candidates of both parties;
– leading senators and congressmen;
– key members of the fourth estate and their bosses; and
– top officials of the FBI, CIA, NSA, defense establishment, and
other leading government agencies, including state, commerce, the
judiciary and treasury.
For its part, “CFR has served as a virtual employment agency for the
federal government under both Democrats and Republicans.” Whoever
occupies the White House, “CFR’s power and agenda” have been unchanged
since its 1921 founding.
It advocates a global superstate with America and other nations
sacrificing their sovereignty to a central power. CFR founder Paul
Warburg was a member of Roosevelt’s “brain trust.” In 1950, his son,
James, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee: “We shall have world
government whether or not you like it – by conquest or consent.”
Later at the 1992 Bilderberg Group meeting, Henry Kissinger said:
“Today, Americans would be outraged if UN troops entered
Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow, they will be grateful. This is
especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from
beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence.
It is then that all people of the world will plead with world leaders
to deliver them from this evil….individual rights will be willingly
relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by
their world government.”
CFR planned a New World Order before 1942, and the “UN began with a
group of CFR members called the Informal Agenda Group.” They drafted the
original UN proposal, presented it to Franklin Roosevelt who announced
it publicly the next day. At its 1945 founding, CFR members comprised
over 40 of the US delegates.
According to Professor G. William Domhoff, author of Who Rules
America, the CFR operates in “small groups of about twenty-five, who
bring together leaders from the six conspirator categories
(industrialists, financiers, ideologues, military, professional
specialists – lawyers, medical doctors, etc. – and organized labor) for
detailed discussions of specific topics in the area of foreign affairs.”
Domhoff added:
“The Council on Foreign Relations, while not financed by government,
works so closely with it that it is difficult to distinguish Council
action stimulated by government from autonomous actions. (Its) most
important sources of income are leading corporations and major
foundations.” The Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Ford Foundations to name
three, and they’re directed by key corporate officials.
Dominant Media Partners
Former CBS News president Richard Salant (1961 – 64 and 1966 – 79)
explained the major media’s role: “Our job is to give people not what
they want, but what we decide they ought to have.”
CBS and other media giants control everything we see, hear and read –
through television, radio, newspapers, magazines, books, films, and
large portions of the Internet. Their top officials and some journalists
attend Bilderberg meetings – on condition they report nothing.
The Rockefeller family wields enormous power, even though its
reigning patriarch, David, will be 94 on June 12 and surely near the end
of his dominance. However, for years “the Rockefellers (led by David)
gained great influence over the media. (With it) the family gained sway
over public opinion. With the pulse of public opinion, they gained deep
influence in politics. And with this politics of subtle corruption, they
are taking control of the nation” and now aim for total world
domination.
The Bilderberger-Rockefeller scheme is to make their views “so
appealing (by camouflaging them) that they become public policy (and
can) pressure world leaders into submitting to the ‘needs of the Masters
of the Universe.’ ” The “free world press” is their instrument to
disseminate “agreed-upon propaganda.”
CFR Cabinet Control
“The National Security Act of 1947 established the office of
Secretary of Defense.” Since then, 14 DOD secretaries have been CFR
members.
Since 1940, every Secretary of State, except James Byrnes, has been a CFR member and/or Trilateral Commission (TC) one.
For the past 80 years, “Virtually every key US National Security and Foreign Policy Advisor has been a CFR member.
Nearly all top generals and admirals have been CFR members.
Many presidential candidates were/are CFR members, including Herbert
Hoover, Adlai Stevenson, Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Richard Nixon,
Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter (also a charter TC member), George HW Bush,
Bill Clinton, John Kerry, and John McCain.
Numerous CIA directors were/are CFR members, including Richard
Helmes, James Schlesinger, William Casey, William Webster, Robert Gates,
James Woolsey, John Deutsch, George Tenet, Porter Goss, Michael Hayden,
and Leon Panetta.
Many Treasury Secretaries were/are CFR members, including Douglas
Dillon, George Schultz, William Simon, James Baker, Nicholas Brady,
Lloyd Bentsen, Robert Rubin, Henry Paulson, and Tim Geithner.
When presidents nominate Supreme Court candidates, the CFR’s “Special
Group, Secret Team” or advisors vet them for acceptability. Presidents,
in fact, are told who to appoint, including designees to the High Court
and most lower ones.
Programming the Public Mind
According to sociologist Hadley Cantril in his 1967 book, The Human Dimension – Experiences in Policy Research:
Government “Psycho-political operations are propaganda campaigns
designed to create perpetual tension and to manipulate different groups
of people to accept the particular climate of opinion the CFR seeks to
achieve in the world.”
Canadian writer Ken Adachi (1929 – 1989) added:
“What most Americans believe to be ‘Public Opinion’ is in
reality carefully crafted and scripted propaganda designed to elicit a
desired behavioral response from the public.”
And noted Australian academic and activist Alex Carey (1922 – 1988)
explained the three most important 20th century developments – “The
growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of
corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against
democracy.”
Web of Control
Numerous think tanks, foundations, the major media, and other key
organizations are staffed with CFR members. Most of its life-members
also belong to the TC and Bilderberg Group, operate secretly, and wield
enormous power over US and world affairs.
The Rockefeller-Founded Trilateral Commission (TC)
On page 405 of his Memoirs, David Rockfeller wrote:
“Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working
against the best interests of the United States characterizing my family
and me as ‘internationalists’ and conspiring with others around the
world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure
– one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I
am proud of it.”
In alliance with Bilderbergers, the TC also “plays a vital role in
the New World Order’s scheme to use wealth, concentrated in the hands of
the few, to exert world control.” TC members share common views and all
relate to total unchallengeable global dominance.
Founded in 1973 and headquartered in Washington, its powerful US, EU
and East Asian members seek its operative founding goal – a “New
International Economic Order,” now simply a “New World Order” run by
global elites from these three parts of the world with lesser members
admitted from other countries.
According to TC’s web site, “each regional group has a chairman and
deputy chairman, who all together constitute the leadership of the
Committee. The Executive Committee draws together a further 36
individuals from the wider membership,” proportionately representing the
US, EU, and East Asia in its early years, now enlarged to be broadly
global.
Committee members meet several times annually to discuss and
coordinate their work. The Executive Committee chooses members, and at
any time around 350 belong for a three-year renewable period. Everyone
is a consummate insider with expertise in business, finance, politics,
the military, or the media, including past presidents, secretaries of
state, international bankers, think tank and foundation executives,
university presidents and selected academics, and former senators and
congressmen, among others.
Although its annual reports are available for purchase, its inner
workings, current goals, and operations are secret – with good reason.
Its objectives harm the public so mustn’t be revealed. Trilaterals over
Washington author Antony Sutton wrote:
“this group of private citizens is precisely organized in
a manner that ensures its collective views have significant impact on
public policy.”
In her book, Trilateralism: The Trilateral Commission and Elite Planning for World Management, Holly Sklar wrote:
Powerful figures in America, Europe, and East Asia let “the
rich….safeguard the interests of Western capitalism in an explosive
world – probably by discouraging protectionism, nationalism, or any
response that would pit the elites of one against the elites of
another,” in their common quest for global dominance.
Trilateralist Zbigniew Brzezinski (TC’s co-founder) wrote in his Between Two Ages – America’s Role in the Technotronic Era:
“people, governments and economies of all nations must
serve the needs of multinational banks and corporations. (The
Constitution is) inadequate….the old framework of international
politics, with their sphere of influence….the fiction of sovereignty….is
clearly no longer compatible with reality….”
TC today is now global with members from countries as diverse as
Argentina, Ukraine, Israel, Jordan, Brazil, Turkey, China and Russia. In
his Trilaterals Over America, Antony Sutton believes that TC’s aim is
to collaborate with Bilderbergers and CFR in “establishing public policy
objectives to be implemented by governments worldwide.” He added that
“Trilateralists have rejected the US Constitution and the democratic
political process.” In fact, TC was established to counter a “crisis in
democracy” – too much of it that had to be contained.
An official TC report was fearful about “the increased popular
participation in and control over established social, political, and
economic institutions and especially a reaction against the
concentration of power of Congress and of state and local government.”
To address this, media control was essential to exert “restraint on
what newspapers may publish (and TV and radio broadcast).” Then
according to Richard Gardner in the July 1974 issue of Foreign Affairs
(a CFR publication):
CFR’s leadership must make “an end run around national sovereignty,
eroding it piece by piece,” until the very notion disappears from public
discourse.
Bilderberg/CFR/Trilateralist success depends on finding “a way to get
us to surrender our liberties in the name of some common threat or
crisis. The foundations, educational institutions, and research think
tanks supported by (these organizations) oblige by financing so-called
‘studies’ which are then used to justify their every excess. The excuses
vary, but the target is always individual liberty. Our liberty” and
much more.
Bilderbergers, Trilateralists and CFR members want “an
all-encompassing monopoly” – over government, money, industry, and
property that’s “self-perpetuating and eternal.” In Confessions of a
Monopolist (1906), Frederick C. Howe explained its workings in practice:
“The rules of big business: Get a monopoly; let Society
work for you. So long as we see all international revolutionaries and
all international capitalists as implacable enemies of one another, then
we miss a crucial point….a partnership between international monopoly
capitalism and international revolutionary socialism is for their mutual
benefit.”
In the Rockefeller File, Gary Allen wrote:
“By the late nineteenth century, the inner sanctums of
Wall Street understood that the most efficient way to gain a monopoly
was to say it was for the ‘public good’ and ‘public interest.’ “
David Rockefeller learned the same thing from his father, John D.,
Jr. who learned it from his father, John D. Sr. They hated competition
and relentlessly strove to eliminate it – for David on a global scale
through a New World Order.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Trilateralists and CFR members collaborated
on the latter’s “1980 Project,” the largest ever CFR initiative to steer
world events “toward a particular desirable future outcome (involving)
the utter disintegration of the economy.”
Why so is the question?
Because by the 1950s and 1960s, worldwide industrial growth meant
more competition. It was also a model to be followed, and “had to be
strangled in the cradle” or at least greatly contained. In America as
well beginning in the 1980s. The result has been a transfer of wealth
from the poor to the rich, shrinkage of the middle class, and plan for
its eventual demise.
The North American Union (NAU)
The idea emerged during the Reagan administration in the early 1980s.
David Rockefeller, George Schultz and Paul Volker told the president
that Canada and America could be politically and economically merged
over the next 15 years except for one problem – French-speaking Quebec.
Their solution – elect a Bilderberg-friendly prime minister, separate
Quebec from the other provinces, then make Canada America’s 51st state.
It almost worked, but not quite when a 1995 secession referendum was
defeated – 50.56% to 49.44%, but not the idea of merger.
At a March 23, 2005 Waco, Texas meeting, attended by George Bush,
Mexico’s Vincente Fox, and Canada’s Paul Martin, the Security and and
Prosperity Partnership (SPP) was launched, also known as the North
American Union (NAU). It was a secretive Independent Task Force of North
America agreement – a group organized by the Canadian Council of Chief
Executives (CCCE), the Mexican Council on Foreign Relations, and CFR
with the following aims:
– circumventing the legislatures of three countries and their constitutions;
– suppressing public knowledge or consideration; and
– proposing greater US, Canadian and Mexican economic, political,
social, and security integration with secretive working groups formed to
devise non-debatable, not voted on agreements to be binding and
unchangeable.
In short – a corporate coup d’etat against the sovereignty of three
nations enforced by hard line militarization to suppress opposition.
If enacted, it will create a borderless North America, corporate
controlled, without barriers to trade or capital flows for business
giants, mainly US ones and much more – America’s access to vital
resources, especially oil and Canada’s fresh water.
Secretly, over 300 SPP initiatives were crafted to harmonize the
continent’s policies on energy, food, drugs, security, immigration,
manufacturing, the environment, and public health along with
militarizing three nations for enforcement.
SPP represents another step toward the Bilderberg/Trilateralist/CFR
goal for World Government, taking it one step at a time. A “United
Europe” was another, the result of various treaties and economic
agreements:
– the December 1951 six-nation European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC);
– the March 1957 six-nation Treaty of Rome establishing the European Economic Community (EEC);
also the European Atomic Energy Commission (EAEC) by a second Treaty of Rome;
– the October 1957 European Court of Justice to settle regional trade disputes;
– the May 1960 seven-nation European Free Trade Association (EFTA);
– the July 1967 European Economic Community (EEC) merging the ECSC, EAEC and EEC together in one organization;
– the 1968 European Customs Union to abolish duties and establish uniform imports taxing among EEC nations;
– the 1978 European Currency Unit (ECU);
– the February 1986 Single European Act revision of the 1957 Treaty
of Rome; it established the objective of forming a Common Market by
December 31, 1992;
– the February 1992 Maastricht Treaty creating the EU on November 1, 1993; and
– the name euro was adopted in December 1995; it was introduced in
January 1999 replacing the European Currency Unit (ECU); euros began
circulating on January 2002; they’re now the official currency of 16 of
the 27 EU states.
Over half a century, the above steps cost EU members their
sovereignty “as some 70 to 80 per cent of the laws passed in Europe
involve just rubber stamping of regulations already written by nameless
bureaucrats in ‘working groups’ in Brussels or Luxembourg.”
The EU and NAU share common features:
– advocacy from a influential spokesperson;
– an economic and later political union;
– hard line security, and for Europe, ending wars on the continent between EU member states;
– establishment of a collective consciousness in place of nationalism;
– the blurring of borders and creation of a “supra-government,” a superstate;
– secretive arrangements to mask real objectives; and
– the creation of a common currency and eventual global one.
Steps Toward a North American Union
– the October 4, 1988 Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between the US and Canada, finalized the previous year;
– at the 1991 Bilderberg meeting, David Rockefeller got governor Bill Clinton’s support for NAFTA if he became president;
– on January 1, 1994, with no debate under “fast-track” rules, Congress approved WTO legislation;
– in December 1994 at the first Summit of the Americas, 34
Hemispheric leaders committed their nations to a Free Trade of the
Americas agreement (FTAA) by 2005 – so far unachieved;
– on July 4, 2000, Mexican president Vincente Fox called for a North American common market in 20 years;
– on February 2001, the White House published a joint statement from
George Bush and Vincente Fox called the “Guanajuato Proposal;” it was
for a US-Canada-Mexico prosperity partnership (aka North American
Union);
– in September 2001, Bush and Fox agreed to a “Partnership for Prosperity Initiative;”
– the September 11, 2001 attack gave cover to including “security” as part of a future partnership;
– on October 7, 2001, a CFA meeting highlighted “The Future of North
American Integration in the Wake of Terrorist Attacks; for the first
time, “security” became part of a future “partnership for prosperity;”
also, Canada was to be included in a “North American” agreement;
– in 2002, the North American Forum on Integration (NAFI) was
established in Montreal “to address the issues raised by North American
integration as well as identify new ideas and strategies to reinforce
the North American region;”
– in January 2003, the Canadian Council of Chief Executives (CCCE –
composed of 150 top CEOs) launched the “North American Security and
Prosperity Initiative” calling for continental integration;
– in April 2004, Canadian prime minister Paul Martin announced the
nation’s first ever national security policy called Securing an Open
Society;
– on October 15, 2004, CFR established an Independent Task Force on
the Future of North America – for a future continental union;
– in March 2005, a CFR report titled Creating a North American
Community called for continental integration by 2010 “to enhance,
prosperity, and opportunity for all North Americans;” and
– on March 23, 2005 in Waco, Texas, America, Canada and Mexico
leaders launched the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) – aka
North American Union (NAU).
Secretive negotiations continue. Legislative debate is excluded, and
public inclusion and debate are off the table. In May 2005, the CFR
Independent Task Force on the Future of North America published a
follow-up report titled Building a North American Community – proposing a
borderless three-nation union by 2010.
In June and July 2005, the Dominican Republic – Central America Free
Trade Agreement (DR-CAFTA) passed the Senate and House establishing
corporate-approved trade rules to further impoverish the region and move
a step closer to continental integration.
In March 2006, the North American Competitiveness Council (NACC) was
created at the second SPP summit in Cancun, Mexico. Composed of 30 top
North American CEOs, it serves as an official trilateral SPP working
group.
Secret business and government meetings continue so there’s no way to
confirm SPP’s current status or if Barack Obama is seamlessly
continuing George Bush’s agenda. In an earlier article, this writer
said:
SPP efforts paused during the Bush to Obama transition, but “deep
integration” plans remain. Canada’s Fraser Institute proposed renaming
the initiative the North American Standards and Regulatory Area (NASRA)
to disguise its real purpose. It said the “SPP brand” is tarnished so
re-branding is essential – to fool the public until it’s too late to
matter.
Bilderbergers, Trilaterists, and CFR leaders back it as another step
toward global integration and won’t “stop until the entire world is
unified under the auspices and the political umbrella of a One World
Company, a nightmarish borderless world run by the world’s most powerful
clique” – comprised of key elitist members of these dominant
organizations.
In April 2007, the Transatlantic Economic Council was established between America and the EU to:
– create an “official international governmental body – by executive fiat;
– harmonize economic and regulatory objectives;
– move toward a Transatlantic Common Market; and
– a step closer to One World Government run by the world’s most powerful corporate interests.
Insights into the 2009 Bilderberg Group Meeting
From May 14 – 17, Bilderbergers held their annual meeting in
Vouliagmeni, Greece, and according to Daniel Estulin have dire plans for
global economies.
According to his pre-meeting sources, they’re divided on two alternatives:
“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 world order, with
less sovereignty but more efficiency.”
Other agenda items included:
– “the future of the US dollar and US economy;”
– continued deception about green shoots signaling an end to recession and improving economy later in the year;
– suppressing the fact that bank stress tests were a sham and were
designed for deception, not an accurate assessment of major banks’
health;
– projecting headlined US unemployment to hit 14% by year end – way
above current forecasts and meaning the true number will be double, at
minimum, with all uncounted categories included; and
– a final push to get the Lisbon Treaty passed for pan-European (EU)
adoption of neoliberal rules, including greater privatizations, fewer
worker rights and social benefits, open border trade favoring developed
over emerging states, and greater militarization to suppress civil
liberties and human rights.
After the meeting, Estulin got a 73-page report on what was
discussed. He noted that “One of Bilderberg’s primary concerns….is the
danger that their zeal to reshape the world by engineering chaos
(toward) their long term agenda could cause the situation to spiral out
of control and eventually lead to a scenario where Bilderberg and the
global elite in general are overwhelmed by events and end up losing
their control over the planet.”
Estulin also noted some considerable disagreement between
“hardliners” wanting a “dramatic decline and a severe, short-term
depression (versus others) who think that things have gone too far” so
that “the fallout from the global economic cataclysm” can’t be known,
may be greater than anticipated, and may harm Bilderberger interests.
Also, “some European bankers (expressed great alarm over their own fate
and called the current) high wire act ‘unsustainable.’ ”
There was a combination of agreement and fear that the situation
remains dire and the worst of the crisis lies ahead, mainly because of
America’s extreme debt level that must be resolved to produce a healthy,
sustainable recovery.
Topics also included:
– establishing a Global Treasury Department and Global Central Bank, possibly partnered with or as part of the IMF;
– a global currency;
– destruction of the dollar through what longtime market analyst Bob
Chapman calls “a stealth default on (US) debt by continuing to issue
massive amounts of money and credit and in the process devaluing the
dollar,” a process he calls “fraud;”
– a global legal system;
– exploiting the Swine Flu scare to create a WHO global department of health; and
– the overall goal of a global government and the end of national sovereignty.
In the past, Estulin’s sources proved accurate. Earlier, he predicted
the housing crash and 2007 – 2008 financial market decline, preceded by
the kind of financial crisis triggered by the Lehman Brothers collapse.
Watch for further updates from him as new information leaks out on what
the world’s power elites have planned going forward.
Estulin will be the featured guest on The Global Research News
