Bilderberg is over. Time to find out what policy consensus will be implemented "in the environments which they [Bilderbergers] affect" (words said in 2010 by former Secretary General of NATO and two-time Bilderberg participant, Willy Claes)
House of Commons.
UPDATE: Labour MP Michael Meacher, who visited protesters at the weekend, today made good on his vow to officially quiz Osbourne on his Bilderberg attendance. However, it was MP Kenneth Clarke, a Bilderberg Steering Committee member who answered the question in the House of Commons, dismissing any theories that the group influences public policy, and claiming that the group is not beholden to public scrutiny.
Clarke stumbled and spluttered, however, when it was noted that as a trustee of the registered 'charity' that funds Bilderberg Group activities, he is beholden to fully to declare his role as a leading organiser of the secretive meetings, in order to avoid potential conflicts of interest that would impact his role as a public official. Clarke admitted that he may have failed to do this because he “forgot” that he was a trustee.
The London Telegraph quickly released a story on Clarke’s admission, but it was removed from their website within an hour of publican. The link now ends in a 404 error page. Source
UPDATE: Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles, a former leading British ambassador to Afghanistan, now a leading executive at arms manufacturer BAE Systems, spoke on record to The Watford Observer today.

Alex Jones Storms BBC, confronts Bilderberger
Update: Alex Jones confronted Bilderberg member and UK Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls shortly before a live BBC broadcast on which Jones was a guest, before Balls was ambushed again in the corridor about breaking the ministerial code by taking part in a secret lobbying meeting.
The EU was designed by the Nazis
Gerard Batten, a member of the European Parliament for London for the United Kingdom Independence Party, said earlier this week at Watford (video), outside of the Bilderberg confab, that the European Union was designed by Nazis. We have in the past also dedicated a few articles to the subject: part 1, part 2.June 8, 2013
Alex Jones, David Icke and Paul Joseph Watson are speaking at the Bilderberg Fringe Festival. The FF is an unique, FREE event, a jam-packed weekend of speakers, comedy, music, workshops, arts and entertainment!
The event will be a positive platform which harmonizes fun with enlightened idea exchanges. The participants are expressing their outrage at this travesty of Liberty, the only way we know how. Where Bilderberg is closed, dark and joyless, the FF is open, happy and free.
PROGRAM OF EVENTS GROVE GATES OPEN 8AM - 8 PM ON SATURDAY; 8AM – 2PM ON SUNDAY: BILDERBERG – SPEAKER’S CORNER
Full program on Infowars.
June 7, 2013
In a freshly trimmed corner of the grounds of the Grove Hotel something remarkable happened: the mainstream press make an appearance. In droves. Reuters, AP, Channel 4 News, the Times, the Telegraph, the Press Association, London Tonight. The BBC sent at least three radio reporters. More >>
BREAKING: The United Kingdom and European Union (German) also caught up in NSA. Even the UN special envoy, Frank La Rue has expressed his concern.
Update: Former CIA Director David Petraeus is guest at the 2013 Bilderberg conference to help construct the 'big data' grid, the new frontier in spycraft. The subject is on Bilderberg's official agenda for 2013 ("How big data is changing almost everything", a reference to how the Internet is transforming the world of surveillance and the ability to foresee and manipulate future events).
At almost the exact same time, a Homeland Security subcommittee in the United States will also be discussing 'big data' and its implications in the context of social media. Bilderberg’s effort to push this agenda ties in with it's merger with Google. More here.. ...
It is therefore very ironic that today the news should break, that the biggest 'conspiracy theory' involving the NSA has become conspiracy fact!
Rand Paul: "1984The National Security Agency and the FBI are tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading U.S. Internet companies, extracting audio and video chats, photographs, e-mails, documents, and connection logs that enable analysts to track foreign targets, according to a top-secret document obtained by The Washington Post.
The program, code-named PRISM, has not been made public until now. It may be the first of its kind. The NSA prides itself on stealing secrets and breaking codes, and it is accustomed to corporate partnerships that help it divert data traffic or sidestep barriers. But there has never been a Google or Facebook before, and it is unlikely that there are richer troves of valuable intelligence than the ones in Silicon Valley. Read on..
has arrived" >>>Update: Britain's PM David Cameron will take part of the confab today, but Downing Street indicated it would not be providing a summary of his discussions to the press, while denying it was a departure from the prime minister's pledge to lead the most transparent government in the world.
Photo's of Arriving Bilderbergers
Although the official guestlist for Bilderberg has been made public (scroll down to log on June 4) everybody wants to know who is NOT on the list. This is Bilderberg tradition. Both Bill and Hillary (photo) Clinton were spotted entering Bilderberg’s Grove Hotel, along with luminaries David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger. We also saw the arrival of Bilderberg's Queen Bee, former queen of the Netherlands, Beatrix (photo). |

Update: Was the Euro Hatched at Bilderberg?
Infowars has another Denis Healey anecdote. Lord Healey, long time Bilderberg attendee - the first time in 1954 - has sat on the steering committee for 40 years and served as chancellor to Harold Wilson and James Callaghan. He recalls the importance of the discussions that were held at Bilderberg regarding policy on the Vietnam war, and particularly on European integration:
Most vividly, he recalls its role in bringing the architects of the European integration – Schmidt, Pompidou, Giscard d’Estaing, Leone – together for open-ended discussions with bankers and economists about how the European monetary system might work.
"The great advantage of the Bilderberg thing was they did not have to reach agreement. You had time to discuss things with people who influence events who normally you would not meet at all. People could talk very freely, much more freely than they would at home".
Would the European Union and single currency have taken the shape they have now without those early Bilderberg meetings, he was asked. "I think it was a very important element in it. Whether it would have happened without it is difficult to say", he says.
Indeed, documents read by the BBC and later released by Wikileaks divulge how Bilderberg members were discussing the creation of the euro single currency nearly 40 years before it was officially introduced in the 1992 Maastricht Treaty. Read on..
Update: Despite countless examples that prove the contrary, detractors, debunkers and non believers continually argue that the Bilderberg group holds no power, and that it is just a talking shop for elite has-beens. Now yet more evidence has emerged that policy and secret multi-billion deals between business heads and government are formulated at the meeting.
The London Telegraph today reports in it’s article titled Bilderberg Group? No conspiracy, just the most influential group in the world, that recently, a major oil merger, in fact what would be the world’s biggest, was formulated at a Bilderberg meeting >>>
Update: The investigative journalist Jon Ronson once tried to infiltrate a Bilderberg meeting in Portugal. He talks to Sky News.
Update: Residents of Watford are experiencing a state of martial law. All public rights of way across the grounds of The Grove, including the towpath of the Grand Union Canal, are now suspended for the duration.
Roads are closed down and residents are required to show their papers.
Citizens invariably suffer when the global elite meet to discuss their annual plans for world government, war and economic implosion. Moreover, in addition to citizens enduring Gestapo-like treatment, police have manhandled the media and treated demonstrators as domestic terrorists.
Update: Telegraph has this: Denis Healey, who attended the first Bilderberg meeting in 1954 and has sat on the steering committee for 40 years, said:
"Lots of the stuff written about it is a load of crap. Those who weren't invited were very jealous. Some people described it as a secret Communist organisation. Others said it was a secret American organisation. But it was balls". Lord Healey, who served as chancellor to Harold Wilson and James Callaghan, added: "I found it the most useful of all the meetings I attended regularly. The Bilderberg was the best because the level of the people attending regularly was so much higher".
Update: The press is herded together half a mile away from the hotel in a pen, surrounded by a high steel fence that looks like the edge of a prison.
About 40 cars have gone in so far. Every time someone drives in with their luxury car, the crowds shout and heckle.
Update: Sherard Cowper-Coles, former diplomat and current director at BAE told a reporter at the Standard that the organization’s veil of secrecy not only applies to the outside world, but also extends to those invited to participate.
"I’m honored to have been asked to go, but it’s crazy. They [the organizers] wouldn’t tell us where we were going to stay until a couple of weeks beforehand. Some people had to book their private jets in advance."
Cowper-Coles, who as former Special Representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan has extensive experience guarding British interests in the Middle-East, is not the first Bilderberg participant to openly criticize the way the group’s Steering Committee upholds the veil of secrecy that has shrouded any insight into the annual confab for the last 59 years. Read more..
A Bilderberg Group member is set to speak on record to the BBC in what represents an unprecedented move for the secretive organization. a BBC reporter told Infowars that the broadcaster had approached a Bilderberg member for a television interview and although the person had refused to be on camera, a telephone interview was likely.
As we reported yesterday, a separate source close to the security operation surrounding the confab told Infowars that numerous Bilderberg Group members were aggrieved at the organization’s obsession with secrecy and wanted to see more transparency. Read on..
Today is the day! While we are waiting for the blacked out limousines and choppers to arrive, let's have a look at the nihilistic, transhumanist art on the grounds of The Grove estate
It's ironic given that Bilderberg is now merging with Eric Schmidt's Google.
June 5, 2013
Update: The police assured skeptical residents that the conference would be "cost-neutral" for Hertfordshire, thanks in part to a "donation" from the conference organisers. This "donation" will have come, in part at least, from the Bilderberg Association, a registered UK charity that takes "donations" from BP and Goldman Sachs. Read it in a report on last night's Watford Council meeting..

Update: No-Fly Zone Over Bilderberg
Police in Hertfordshire have imposed a no-fly zone over this weekend’s Bilderberg meeting at The Grove hotel, claiming that they did not previously publicly acknowledge the event was taking place, so as not to attract “terrorists”. Watford Chief Inspector, Nick Caveney made the comments at a community meeting last night at Watford Town Hall last night. Read more..
Alex Jones along with Infowars reporters Paul Joseph Watson, Richard Reeves and Lee Ann McAdoo visited the site of the Bilderberg 2013 confab and observed a ring of steel being erected around the perimeter of the Grove hotel before they were unceremoniously ejected by security staff last night.

Update: Guestlist Bilderberg 2013
N.B. Given the experience in the preceding years we know the guest list is never complete. In 2011 for example powerful people like Merkel, Rasmussen (former NATO GenSec) Zapatero (former premier of Spain) and Bill Gates were omitted from the list. Yet they joined the conference at the last moment.
Here's the official agenda:
• Can the US and Europe grow faster and create jobs?
• Jobs, entitlement and debt
• How big data is changing almost everything
• Nationalism and populism
• US foreign policy
• Africa’s challenges
• Cyber warfare and the proliferation of asymmetric threats
• Major trends in medical research
• Online education: promise and impacts
• Politics of the European Union
• Developments in the Middle East

Latest news:
- Infowars is reporting that some members of the secretive organization are fed up with the lack of transparency and are lobbying the Bilderberg organization to allow them to address protesters this week. It would be an unprecedented move. It’s reasonable to speculate that it is coming from the so-called ‘Libertarian camp’ within the group, headed up by Paypal founder and hedge fund manager Peter Thiel.
- A source talking to Infowars has confirmed that preparations for the Bilderberg conference in Watford have been ongoing for a staggering 18 months.
- High profile consultant Andrew Kakabadse is co-author of Bilderberg People: Elite Power and Consensus in World Affairs
, a book all about how world affairs are shaped by the consensus formed amongst the world’s elite. He has met many people who have attended the conference in the past. Video on IBTimes UK.

Update: The Fringe Festival is On! Let's Go to Watford!
Great News! The organizers of the 'fringe festival' have agreed with the Hertfordshire police that a number of activities will take place within the grounds of The Grove Hotel close the entrance. Key note speakers will be David Icke, Alex Jones (Infowars), Charlie Skelton, journalists Tony Gosling, Dan Dicks (Press For Truth), Luke Rudkowski (We Are Change) and Jurriaan Maessen (Explosive News). The international media will be there in force. The Bilderbergers will of course be asked to comment. On Infowars you'll find information of a domestic nature, as well as a number of practical tips, how to get there, where to sleep, etc. Read on..

Update: a global tax system is high on the agenda
Politicians have publicly attacked Google's and other corporations' tax shyness, whereas they themselves have contracted these tax rates with them on order to get them within their borders. Privately they will sit shoulder to shoulder with Eric Schmidt in Google's 'Big Tent' symposium, that will be held at The Grove Hotel, prior to the Bilderburg summit.
The voter is thus being hoodwinked: politicians create the perception they are in the service of the citizen, but companies do not pay any taxes, ever! Taxes, as part of the cost of the product are simply passed on to the
So, while the internet monopolists quarrel with the political, postmodern elite about their tax ethos, plans are being forged for a world government with its own tax system.

Update: British taxpayer on the hook for 2,7 milion dollars
The organization of the 'clandestine' meeting of 140 crowned heads, politicians and corporatists fears "violence and disturbance" of protesters. The Hertfordshire police refuses to divulge the costs for security, but are negotiating a grant with the Home Office for "unexpected or exceptional costs" should the annual police budget get into disarray. The bill could amount to one percent of the annual budget, totaling over 2,7 million dollars. Read on...
Update: Watford under complete security lock down
The Hertfordshire police have released maps showing that the entire vicinity of The Grove Hotel will be essentially in lock down for the duration of Bilderberg 2013, from June 6-9.
The back entrance of the resort will be largely inaccessible due to police check points. Meaning that the participants will almost surely use this entransce so as to avoid confrontation with demonstrators and the press.
Infowars is reporting that this taxpayer funded lock down is coordinated as an "anti-terror exercise". Which is ironical considering the Honorary President of the Supreme Court of Italy has recently accused Bilderberg of terrorist activities under the aegis of Operation Gladio.
The Council of Watford has refused a permit for an event that was to be held in a nearby park in which Alex Jones and David Icke would be key note speakers. This would have attracted thousands of visitors.
In rejecting the permit the Council of Watford is creating a tremendous safety risk. Protestors and reporters will now be driven into bottlenecks of clusters near the entrance of The Grove.
The organization wrote the Council they must have some consideration for the fact that people have a genuine concern how the Bilderbergers are operating. Huge numbers of people will be descending on the area anyway, permit or no permit.
Security firm GS4 has been appointed to check bags and provide metal detector wandings for anyone entering the area. Local residents will have to identify themselves even to access their own homes!
"I think it’s totally outrageous and it is infringing my civil liberties", Kevin Butcher, a Grove Mill Lane resident, told the Watford Observer.
For security reasons GS4 is allowed to make photos and videos, but bull horns are prohibited. Loud hailers on the other hand are okay. But masks are banned.
The protest/press site will be open at 9am and close at 8pm on Thursday 6th June. Thereafter the hours will be 8am-8pm on Friday 7th and Saturday 8th. The site hours will be 8am-2pm on Sunday 9th.
We hope many will participate to send a message to the NWO that the violation of liberties is not acceptable.

Update:
Member of the European parliament Gerard Batten has raised the alarm on Bilderberg
He has written all major mainstream media outlets in the UK and has submitted a freedom of information request, asking who is paying for the expenses for security. The mainstream media have kept indeed deafeningly silent about the Bilderberg meetings throughout the years. The new media are doing the job of the mainstream media in that respect.
On the other end of the British political spectrum, Respect MP George Galloway has also commented on the coming conference. The question what exactly is discussed at Bilderberg should indeed be a concern to both the left and the right.
Bilderberg founder prince Bernhard even stated in the following interview (3 minutes onward)): "there could be issued an idea… that everybody liked, and that idea is then launched", which explain the uniformity in policy and memes suddenly finding their way into broader societies and cultures, creating the perception of spontaneous, natural development, while in actual fact these are emanating from this secretive, permanent network.
The Bilderberg Group, exponents of global corporatism and politics meet annually face to face

Secrecy is getting harder
The UK Independence Party has recently won a great victory in the British 2013 local election, coming in fourth in the number of council seats won, and third in projected nationwide votes. This adds additional weight to Batten’s words, making it harder for the mainstream media in the UK to persist in their stalwart silence.On the other end of the British political spectrum, Respect MP George Galloway has also commented on the coming conference. The question what exactly is discussed at Bilderberg should indeed be a concern to both the left and the right.
Participants are expected to implement ideas
Although the Bilderberg group itself claims "no resolutions are proposed, no votes taken, and no policy statements issued", former Secretary General of NATO and two-time Bilderberg participant Willy Claes admitted in 2010 the participants are expected to implement conclusions that come out of every conference. After every sub-conference at Bilderberg a report is compiled, after which "the participants are then obviously considered to use this report in setting their policies in the environments which they affect", Claes stated.Bilderberg founder prince Bernhard even stated in the following interview (3 minutes onward)): "there could be issued an idea… that everybody liked, and that idea is then launched", which explain the uniformity in policy and memes suddenly finding their way into broader societies and cultures, creating the perception of spontaneous, natural development, while in actual fact these are emanating from this secretive, permanent network.
The Bilderberg Group, exponents of global corporatism and politics meet annually face to face
These are the movers and shakers that shape the postmodern globalist world. They have their own agenda
It concerns subjects of global importance. Secrecy if of the essence. Dates and venues are closely guarded. But there are ways to find out. This game is repeated each spring. The Grove Hotel in England's Hertfordshire, just outside London, is Bilderberg's resort of choice for June 6-9, 2013. No effort is spared to keep journalists, activists and other uninvited guests far out of reach of the hotel.
Google Zeitgeist
On May 13 Infowars reporters Paul Joseph Watson and Jon Scobie visited the hotel. They claim to have "groundbraking" information. Google’s CEO Eric Schmidt is a regular Bilderberg attendee. Watson and Scobie said his company is 'merging' with Bilderberg. Google’s annual Zeitgeist conference, which has been based at the Grove since 2007, immediately precedes the Bilderberg Group conference by a matter of days. Bilderberg's being recast as 'Google-Berg', partly because of efforts on behalf of activists to tear away the veil of Bilderberg's much cherished secrecy, and partly as a means of re-branding authoritarian, undemocratic secret gatherings of elites as trendy, liberal, feel-good philanthropic-style forums like Google Zeitgeist and TED.
Big Brother
In May 2012, London’s Telegraph headlined "Google invites the best and brightest into its Big Tent". The Telegraph compared Zeitgeist to annual Davos World Economic Forum meetings. Major global figures participate in both. Eric Schmidt thinks "privacy is a relic of the past". He plans to turn Google into the ultimate Big Brother. Google and Bilderberg share a common agenda. In part, it reflects a collectivist, permanently networked world (without) individuality and privacy. Bilderberg’s grand design is one-world government comprised of rulers and serfs. It wants total unchallenged global control.
On the leaked Bilderberg Conference 2013 agenda are the following points for discussion:
- Destroying Iran’s nuclear facilities within three years;
- Prolonging war on Syria by arming anti-Assad elements;
- The threat of a global pandemic;
- Controlling 3D printing;
- Smart cities for mass surveillance;
- Preventing Britain from leaving the EU;
- Propping up the euro to keep the Eurozone intact;
- Minimal 2013 economic growth;
- Increasing central bank power;
- Transferring more wealth from ordinary people to crony capitalists and super-rich elites;
- Preventing a growing credit bubble from popping.
- Internet control through “cyber resilience, a constructie m.b.t. ‘Risk and Responsibility in a Hyperconnected world);”
- Establishing a ministry of truth; Orwell explained its mission and more, saying: "The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink." Political correctness has been with us for a very long time in one way or another: he who controls speech, control the conceptual framework and therefore the debate).
