How long before kingmakers forced to retreat to secret island?

The Canadian media has already blitzed its American counterparts by producing a rash of reports about the secretive Bilderberg Group meeting in Ottawa as the conference enters its second day.

In 2002 Bilderberg met in Virginia Washington yet not one American newspaper or TV station reported on a confab which is routinely attended by the most influential politicos in the world.

That trend has totally reversed this time around, with the Canadian media already pumping out more reports than we saw for the entire duration of last year's conference in Germany. These include several pieces by the Ottawa Citizen, as well as the Globe and Mail and the Ottawa Sun. A Canadian Press article has also been syndicated to numerous different outlets nationwide.

A handful of separate reports also covered the grueling 15 hour detainment of Alex Jones by Canadian immigration authorities at the request of Bilderberg security.

The Canadian media should be commended for doing their job - putting the lapdog American media to shame - and shining a spotlight on an organization that steers the course of geopolitics yet operates with no democratic oversight whatsoever.

If this sea change continues at next year's meeting, how long before the skulking kingpins of the global criminal elite are forced to cut their shadowy deals on a remote private island?

The 2006 Bilderberg participant list is out and it includes names such as, "New York Governor George Pataki, deputy prime minister of Iraq Ahmad Chalabi, the heads of Coca-Cola, Credit Suisse, the Royal Bank of Canada, a number of media moguls, and cabinet ministers from Spain and Greece."

Regulars David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger and Queen Beatrix of Holland are also in attendance as well as, "Jorma Ollila, chairman of Royal Dutch Shell, Egil Myklebust, chairman of Scandinavian Airlines, World Bank president James Wolfenson, and Frank McKenna, former New Brunswick premier and ex-Canadian ambassador to the U.S."

The Ottawa Sun is even running a poll asking readers what they think the main topic of discussion will be at Bilderberg this year, with a majority of 34% thinking it will be oil prices and 25% the war on terror. It also quotes Alex Jones and discusses his ordeal with Canadian immigration.

"These guys love secrecy -- 125 of the most elite people on the planet meeting together and setting policy," Jones said. "It's diabolical -- world government, global taxation. On the agenda here, they're debating (an impending) attack on Iran."

Following his arrival in one of the fleet of limousines tagged with a 'B' for identification, The Ottawa Citizen approached arch Neo-Con warmonger Richard Perle and challenged him on the question of whether Bilderberg directs the course of world policy, specifically in relation to oil prices considering the large amount of representatives from the industry who attend.
"If it did, I'd be trading on oil futures," snapped Perle.

The fact is that during last year's conference in Rottach-Egern, Bilderberg luminaries 'forecasted' the dramatic rise in oil prices. A year ago oil stood at $40 a barrel - now it's $70.

The BBC also uncovered Bilderberg documents dating back to the 1950's showing that the subsequent EU common market and the Euro was originally the brainchild of Bilderberg.

Perle told former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien that he would be embarrassed when weapons of mass destruction were found after chastising him for not sending troops into Iraq in 2003.

A separate Ottawa Sun report carries an intriguing story of a daring reporter's attempt to infiltrate the Bilderberg's hotel, which has been closed to ordinary members of the public and is protected by both police and private security firm Globe Risk.

Ottawa cops even have to identify themselves to Globe Risk officials before being allowed near the hotel. What does that tell you about how Bilderberg place their authority above the law to which the rest of us are subject?

Another firm, Iron Horse Security are employed to guard the rear entrance of the hotel and look like they've just arrived from a funeral, having been ordered to buy black suits for the occasion.

Alex Jones and team are now in place and ready to dig deeper into what the Bilderberg agenda is shaping up to be in the coming year.

More reports to follow throughout the weekend.

Kanata hotel hosts high-level power group

CBC News | June 9 2006

A serene setting in Ottawa's west-end Kanata suburb has been transformed into a four-day festival of black suits, black limousines, burly security guards and a bevy of conspiracy theories.

The security outside the Brookstreet Hotel is much tighter than it is on Parliament Hill. Inside, the CBC was told, all guests were asked to check out at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday.

The hotel appears to be hosting the annual meeting of one of the world's most secretive and powerful societies: the Bilderberg group. But, of course, no one will admit it.

The Bilderberg group includes European royalty, national leaders, political power brokers, and the heads of some of the world's largest companies.

The "Bilderberg" title comes from what is generally recognized to be the location of its first official meeting in 1954 â?? the Hotel de Bilderberg in Oosterbeek near Arnhem in the Netherlands.

People who follow the Bilderberg group say it persuaded Europe to adopt a common currency, and, among other things, persuaded Bill Clinton to support the North American Free Trade Agreement.

They say the members of the Bilderberg group will spend this week deciding what to do about high oil prices and how to lessen the instability of Iran.

"David Rockefeller is going to be here. Henry Kissinger is going to be here. Wolfowitz, the president of the World Bank, is going to be here. Rodrigo [de] Rato, who is the president of the International Monetary Fund, is going to be here," says Daniel Estulin, who has written a book about the Bilderberg group.

Another author, Jim Tucker, who has followed the Bilderberg group for the last 30 years, told CBC News he is troubled by all the secrecy.

"Officials of the United States government [should not] have a private meeting with private citizens about public policy," Tucker says.

He says some of the world's most pressing issues will be discussed at the meeting in Kanata.

"Of course, Iraq [will be discussed], whether we invade Iran. I think I'm personally sure the European Bilderbergs will oppose any all-out invasion of Iran. They may go along with surgical strikes â?? something short of a land invasion â?? this is what I think, not what I know," Tucker says.

Officials at the Brookstreet Hotel said there was nothing special going on there Thursday. However, they can't explain why the hotel parking lot has been cleared of all cars, and there are security guards at every entrance.

VIPs' arrivals marked by a discreet 'B'
The limo drivers had them, so did the luggage tags -- signs with a single B -- and they were the ticket to get into the Bilderberg meeting at the Brookstreet.

Greeted at the airport by limousine drivers holding single-letter "B" signs, global luminaries such as Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller and Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands began quietly slipping into Ottawa yesterday for the annual gathering of the ultra-secretive Bilderberg Group.

Over the next three days at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata, they and other prominent political and business leaders from North America and Europe are expected to discuss issues such as the security threat posed by Iran and the direction of oil markets.

The group's discreet approach was evident as attendees arrived yesterday at the Ottawa Airport.

Outside the airport, a phalanx of limousines lined up to ferry guests to the Brookstreet, where security guards with ear pieces kept watch over the barricaded entrance to the hotel parking lot.

Limos were also dispatched to the nearby Shell Aerocentre to retrieve participants arriving on private aircraft. Some attendees had the single-letter "B" on their luggage tags.

Approached by a Citizen reporter upon his arrival, former U.S. defence policy adviser Richard Perle shot down criticism about the secrecy of the group's meetings. "It's a private organization," he said. He denied the charge, advanced by Bilderberg critics, that the organization crafts public policy behind closed doors. "It discusses public policy," he stressed.

Mr. Perle also dismissed suggestions that the group's heavy representation from the oil industry gives it influence over energy prices. "If it did, I'd be trading on oil futures," he said.

A former assistant secretary of defence to president Ronald Reagan, Mr. Perle is still considered an influential adviser in U.S. conservative circles. He advised President George W. Bush and is said to be a close friend of Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

In 2003, he publicly chastised the Canadian government for refusing to send troops to Iraq and warned that "lame-duck" prime minister Jean Chretien would be embarrassed once weapons of mass destruction were found.



Also seen arriving yesterday were Jorma Ollila, chairman of Royal Dutch Shell, Egil Myklebust, chairman of Scandinavian Airlines, World Bank president James Wolfenson, and Frank McKenna, former New Brunswick premier and ex-Canadian ambassador to the U.S.

According to an unsigned press release sent by fax yesterday, presumably by Bilderberg organizers, attendees will also include New York Governor George Pataki, deputy prime minister of Iraq Ahmad Chalabi, the heads of Coca-Cola, Credit Suisse, the Royal Bank of Canada, a number of media moguls, and cabinet ministers from Spain and Greece.

The release confirmed this year's meeting will deal with energy issues, Iran, the Middle East, terrorism, immigration, Russia, European-American relations and Asia.

"The meeting is private to encourage frank and open discussion," said the release. "There will be no press conference."

Security was relatively light at the airport, with only a few uniformed police on hand.

But at the Brookstreet, the parking lot in front of the hotel was completely emptied and entrances to the lot were barricaded. A tow truck removed any vehicles that did not comply.

Private security guards in black blazers guarded various points around the hotel perimeter, including the golf course behind the Brookstreet. A number of Ottawa police officers also provided security.

Guests who stayed at the hotel on Wednesday night were asked to check out by 8:30 a.m. yesterday, several hours earlier than usual. The hotel is closed through Sunday.

The sidewalk in front of the hotel has become an improvised campground for conspiracy theorists and dedicated Bilderberg watchers, few more colourful than James P. Tucker Jr., a 71-year-old writer who says he has covered every Bilderberg conference for the last 30 years.

Mr. Tucker, who recently published a book called the Bilderberg Diary, said he spent several days this week casing out the hotel, plying Brookstreet bartenders for information over glasses of tomato juice.

"For years they denied their very existence," said Mr. Tucker, dressed in a black pinstriped suit and straw hat. "Well, they certainly influence the world."

Daniel Estulin, who flew from Spain to cover this week's conference, is such a regular on the circuit that he is on a first-name basis with Bilderberg security officials.

"Their main objective is creating a world government ruled by an elite group of people whose main objective is to control all the natural resources of the planet," said Mr. Estulin, who brought a small camera to snap photos of the Bilderbergers as they arrived in dark luxury sedans with tinted windows. Some of the sedans had sheets of paper bearing the trademark "B" on the dashboard.

But the Bilderbergers also attracted curious onlookers who only recently learned about the event through the media.

"There are all sorts of gaps in what politicians say and do. This is just another example of the circumventing of the democratic process," said Cindy Mogensen, who took a break from work yesterday to check out the conference.

Bilderbergers meet secretly today in Ottawa

World Net Daily | June 10 2006

The famed secret society known as the Bilderberg Group is meeting today in Ottawa, and, if you haven't been invited, welcome to the club.

It is one of the most exclusive conferences of global elites you will ever find â?? or not find.

Unlike some previous events in undisclosed locations, at least the place of this meeting is known â?? the Brookstreet Hotel in the Canadian capital city.


Not much else is known. (Actually WND, a lot more is knowns...)
For instance, a reporter for the Ottawa Citizen was told by local police officials that security was being handled by Global Risk Holdings. However, upon reaching Alan Bell, president of the company, the reporter was told: "Never heard of that conference. What is it? What do they do?"

Welcome to the mysterious world of secret societies.

Did someone say "secret societies"?

"Most people don't realize they exist because their minds have been conditioned to reject any thought of such organizations," explains Dr. Stanley Monteith, a medical doctor by training, who set out on a mission to research groups like the Bilderbergers 40 years ago.

The results of his startling research is a little book called "Brotherhood of Darkness," in which he exposes the global agenda of organizations such as the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission.

How important are events like this weekend's Bilderberg conference?

It may not make any difference now, but in 2004, according to the New York Times, it was the standout "performance" of Sen. John Edwards at the super-secret Bilderberg meeting in Italy that sealed the deal on his nomination as John Kerry's vice presidential running mate. And you thought it was American public opinion that counted?

Though no one knows for sure who will be at this weekend's gathering, among those attending the 2004 meeting in Italy, according to a list obtained by WND, were Edwards, Sen. Jon Corzine, D-N.J.; Henry Kissinger; Richard Perle; Melinda Gates (wife of Bill Gates); David Rockefeller; Timothy F. Geithner, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; Donald Graham, chairman and CEO of the Washington Post Company; and even Ralph Reed, former head of the Christian Coalition.

(Here is the entire Bilderberg attendance list as published previously by WND.)

Since 1953, the Bilderberg group has convened government, business, academic and journalistic representatives from the U.S., Canada and Europe with the express purpose of exploring the future of the North Atlantic community.

According to sources that have penetrated the high-security meetings in the past, the Bilderberg meetings emphasize a globalist agenda and promote the idea that the notion of national sovereignty is antiquated and regressive.

"It's officially described as a private gathering," noted a BBC report in 2003, "but with a guest list including the heads of European and American corporations, political leaders and a few intellectuals, it's one of the most influential organizations on the planet."

And according to a BBC report on 2004's conference in Stresa: "Not a word of what is said at Bilderberg meetings can be breathed outside. No reporters are invited in and while confidential minutes of meetings are taken, names are not noted. The shadowy aura extends further â?? the anonymous answerphone message, for example; the fact that conference venues are kept secret. The group, which includes luminaries such as Henry Kissinger and former UK chancellor Kenneth Clarke, does not even have a website."

But, counter participants, the secrecy is not evidence of a grand conspiracy, but only an opportunity to speak frankly with other world leaders out of the limelight of press coverage and its inevitable repercussions.

"There's absolutely nothing in it," argues the UK's Lord Denis Healey, one of the four founders of Bilderberg. "We never sought to reach a consensus on the big issues at Bilderberg," he told the BBC. "It's simply a place for discussion."

when you look at the bombshells jim tucker has dropped, long before the mainstream media catches on...it's more than just discussions between world elite...you'd have to be a fool to think they all gather there with a media blackout just to play golf for three days.

Piss, what is the real reason for these people to meet. To talk about taking over the world. Or do the just sit there and stroke each others egos?

It is not so secret any more..... Alex was on C2C again last night. said they had 3 places to meet. went to Canada. Alex says he has a mole......

how funny (odd) all this is.

I thought they were meeting about the economy..money,money,money.
