Bilderberg group wants vigorous Atlantic alliance
Saturday May 26, 10:27 AM EDT
By Peter Starck
STENUNGSUND, Sweden, May 26 (Reuters) - A group of senior Western business leaders and politicians, meeting in semi- secrecy as the Bilderberg group, said on Saturday that they were committed to supporting a vigorous NATO alliance.
"The whole point of Bilderberg is to foster closer relations between Western Europe, the United States and Canada," the group's secretary general, Martin Taylor, told Reuters in a rare interview.
"We want to stress the importance of the Atlantic alliance, which has provided the guarantee of world peace for 50 years. We want to maintain the vigour of the Atlantic alliance," he said.
The May 24-28 annual meeting of the the Bilderberg group, a shadowy discussion forum for the Western world's power elite, was held at a hotel in Stenungsund on the Swedish west coast sealed off from the public and the media by 900 metres of fencing patrolled by private guards and police.
A one-page statement obtained by Reuters said participants would discuss defence, productivity, agriculture and globalisation as well as Europe, Russia, China, Japan and the Middle East.
"The Cold War has now ended. But in practically all respects there are more, not fewer, common problems -- from trade to jobs, from monetary policy to investment, from ecological challenges to the task of promoting international security," the statement said.
SHADOW WORLD GOVERNMENT? The Bilderberg group has met almost every year since 1954 and has been accused by left- and right-wing critics of being an unaccountable shadow world government exerting its influence over invited politicians.
Taylor denied that the group sought to buy influence, saying it aimed to educate and enlighten people.
Asked to elaborate on how the group sought to educate participants, he said:
"To hear the views of other people. People here have very different points of view. If they come here and hear a new idea, that's a good thing. Bilderberg seeks no influence at all."
The Swedish branch of the anti-globalisation Attac movement had warned of protests but only a handful of demonstrators turned out. Police said there was no trouble.
With the exception of the secretary-general, Bilderberg participants are obliged to remain silent on what goes on at meetings.
"Martin Taylor gives the interviews on behalf of Bilderberg," Jacob Wallenberg, the Bilderberg steering committee's Swedish member who is Chairman of commercial bank SEB and head of the powerful Wallenberg dynasty, said in a telephone message.
Mario Monti, the European Union Competition Commissioner who attended this year's meeting, said he was unable to give an interview.
The statement said the meetings entailed no proposed resolutions, no voting and no policy agreements.
"The clandestine (Bilderberg) meetings do not make policy, yet directly inform the thinking of world leaders," a message on an Internet website associated with the European Parliament's Green Party group, said.
"The global power elite decides our future at the shadowy Bilderberg summit each year," another critical website said.
Organisers said participants included NATO Secretary-General George Robertson, Prime Minister Paavo Lipponen of Finland, Swiss Economics Affairs Minister Pascal Couchepin, U.S. Senators Christopher Dodd and Chuck Hagel, European Central Bank Executive Board Member Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa and a host of corporate

Key U.S. House Member Aims for Trade Bill in June May 25, 2001 5:56 pm EST
By Doug Palmer WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A key lawmaker said on Friday he was aiming to bring legislation to the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives in June giving President Bush authority to negotiate a free-trade zone stretching from Canada to Chile and other multilateral trade pacts.
Rep. Phil Crane, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee's trade subcommittee, told Reuters he would introduce a bill to give Bush "trade promotion authority" shortly after lawmakers returned from next week's Memorial Day recess.
The plan was to move the bill through the trade subcommittee and full Ways and Means panel so that it goes to the House floor for a vote in June, said Crane, an Illinois Republican.
"That's my hope. You never know in this place," he said.
The outlook for action on trade legislation in the Senate was less clear after Vermont Sen. James Jeffords' decision on Thursday to leave the Republican Party. In tipping the Senate to Democratic control, that will give the chairmanship of the Senate Finance Committee to Montana Democratic Sen. Max Baucus.
The current chairman, Iowa Republican Sen. Charles Grassley, had hoped to act on trade legislation in June. Baucus was not expected to move that quickly, aides said.
Crane, in a potentially controversial decision, said his bill would focus exclusively on giving Bush authority to negotiate free-trade pacts. "There are no non-germane provisions," he said, referring to tough protections for workers and the environment that most Democrats insist must be a part of trade bills.
The White House has not had trade promotion authority since April 1994 because of a split between Republicans and Democrats on how to handle labor and environmental issues.
"Those are legitimate concerns, but they don't belong in the trade bill," Crane said, summarizing the view of many Republicans.
Most Democrats say labor and environmental provisions have as much place in trade agreements as traditional business issues and should be enforced using sanctions, if necessary. Under trade promotion authority, previously known as "fast track," Congress gives up its right to amend agreements negotiated by the White House and agrees instead to vote just "yes" or "no" on the overall pacts.
Without the legislation, countries are reluctant to negotiate with the United States because they know any agreement could be changed by Congress.
Bush wants the authority to negotiate the proposed Free Trade Areas of the Americas and even broad trade pacts under the World Trade Organization. EXPECTS SOME DEMOCRATIC SUPPORT
Despite the lack of environmental and labor provisions in his bill, Crane said he expected support from some Democrats. "I've spoken to some on the issue already and I've got very favorable feedback," he said. "Hopefully, we can advance the argument that I've made for years that free trade not only benefits the workers in a country, it advances environmental conditions and it advances democratic institutions."
Crane said he was "a little bit uncomfortable" with a proposal made by the New Democrat Coalition for addressing labor and environmental concerns.
The group of moderate Democrats in both the House and Senate has recommended that trade promotion authority neither preclude nor require the use of sanctions to enforce labor and environmental provisions.
Instead, it should be up to U.S. negotiators to decide when sanctions are an appropriate enforcement tool, the group said. In another decision that could alienate Democrats, Crane has decided to wait on legislation to approve a U.S-Jordan Free Trade Agreement and a U.S.-Vietnam bilateral trade pact until after trade promotion authority is approved.
Democrats have called for votes on those agreements -- which were negotiated by the Clinton administration -- before consideration of trade promotion authority.

Friday May 25, 2001
Global power-brokers have a penchant for siting their get-togethers in inaccessible places. Either the fastness of an Alpine valley (Davos) or an island - the choice this year of the secretive Bilderberg group. They have copied the tactics of the Japanese, who managed to host a G8 summit last summer without any protestors by putting it on a remote island, Okinawa, surrounded by shark infested seas. Since Seattle 1999, Washington and Prague 2000, the calendar of global get-togethers has attracted lively anti-globalisation demonstrations. Davos this year had unusually tight security to try and keep protestors well away. leading to allegations of unnecessary heavy-handedness by the Swiss police.
This weekend, it is the turn of Bilderberg, perhaps the most secretive (or as the organisers would prefer to claim, discrete) club for the global elite. It holds its weekend on Stenungsund, an island off the Swedish west coast.
Named after the hotel which hosted the first meeting in 1954 - the group was created by Denis (now Lord) Healey, Joseph Retinger, David Rockefeller and Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands (a former SS officer) - the group aimed to develop understanding between Europe and the US at the height of the Cold War by bringing together financiers, industrialists, politicians and opinion formers; the press have never been allowed access and all discussions are under Chatham House rules (no quoting).
Not surprisingly, such ground rules, while attracting publicity-shy financiers, have also fuelled the fantasies of conspiracy theorists. The truth is probably more mundane: powerful people like meeting each other, but they argue that they need privacy if there is to be serious, honest discussions: the G8 summits are a graphic example of how all the meaningful exchanges are kept well away from the pre-prepared final communiques drawn up by civil servants.
That said, there's a new and extremely important question facing the organisers of this international meeting. There is a growing perception that globalisation is a process which is being managed for the benefit of a small proportion of the planet's residents and at terrible cost to many more.
Furthermore, those managing the process, in particular the huge corporations which dwarf the power of many national governments, are largely unaccountable.
There is a perception of illegitimacy about unaccountable corporate power and governments elected on low turnout: sooner or later global power-brokers will have to recognise this crisis of legitimacy, and engage with protestors rather than run away from them.

Your point about unaccountability is exactly on target.
We watch and shudder as more and more power goes to unaccountable unelected bureaucrats. The World Court, the European Union, NAFTA, WTO, IMF, UN Rapid Reaction Force, etc. etc. It sure smells like global fascism to me.
Unfortunately, socialist fascism is very popular. The wealthy and the politicians like it because they get the power. The people like it because of all the goodies they are promised in the name of fairness and security.
We have very little time to stop these people. Soon they will be shipping off dissenters to mental wards.

This article was also posted on Saturday by Ironsoldier, but there were only 3 comments. How is it that your posting seems to have garnered so much more interest? Just curious.
PATRIOT
Thanks for the "ping". Respectfully, I don't hold to the secret world groups controlling everything viewpoint.
I do agree that the United Nations is obscene and should be kicked out of our country.
And, actually, I think the idea of a cross-Atlantic alliance between the USA and friends in Europe is a good thing. Because, one day, we are going to have to encounter enemies - perhaps in Asia. It is a good thing to have ways to nourish alliances for the times when we may really need them.
That being said - we are definitely on the march towards the globalization and one-world-order that so many fear and are fighting. Isn't it interesting that "conservatives" and "liberals" are now allied in the fight AGAINST Globalization???? (even if for entirely different reasons)
Powerful people - elitists - meeting together to "plot the world's future" may indeed be going on.
But here's a question - do you think their plot worked in the 2001 elections? I know some here think President Bush is NWO all the way. Maybe he is. But I surely know this. If Algore had won the 2001 elections, globaloney would be much further along, the USA would NOT have been kicked off the UN Human rights commission - and that other commission (in protest of President Bush's policies), and the envirowacko Nazi's the worldover would be in lalaland instead of formulating WAR plans against President Bush and all sane desires to bring affordable energy solutions to the nightmare that California has now and all America will have soon if we let the Environazi's win! (President Bush WON'T - but we have to stand with him to win)
Again, respectfully, I understand those who are wary of elitist groups who meet and perhaps "plot".
I tend to lean more towards understanding the communists whose goals and intentions are clearly laid out and who masquerade as needed behind this or that title.
I also believe in God and in prayer. When HE SAYS it's time, that the need to fight is over, it will be over for America and for this world. Until then, I will continue to pray and (through the legal tools we have) to fight!
Once those tools are removed, we know hell will be upon us. But, you know - God will not allow hell to endure on this earth. He will make his "visitation #2" soon thereafter. And, then, the kingdoms of this world will become the Kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ! Hallelujah!
Bump.
If it's just for education and enlightenment, how come they're keeping the proceedings secret? Why don't they allow others beside the Sec-Gen to speak. Why don't they publish the proceedings for the public? If anyone has a legitimate reason, please enlighten me.
Got it..it is a good read...especially for those of us who wear the tin foil hat proudly.
especially for those of us who wear the tin foil hat proudly.
So glad you mentioned that! I do have to keep it on a lot these days. :-)
Me too!
Interesting that the articles lists Senators Dodd and Hagel as having been in attendance. They, of course, are senators already known to attend Bilderberger meetings. The group might still want to hide the presence of other politicians not known for this.
Speaking of Dodd, I just heard him say on one of the Sunday talk shows that he, McCain, and Fred Thompson have just gotten back from Europe, where they were "on business" together. I would be willing to be that this "business" was attending the Bilderberger meeting. Only trouble is, McCain at least is supposed to have voted on the tax bill on the Saturday of the meeting. And weren't there other votes on the tax bill earlier that same week? I wonder if there is some way for them to vote in absentia, so that their attendance at these meetings is not noticed.
By the way, does anybody know whether Dodd and Hagel voted on the tax bill, either on Saturday Apr. 26th or earlier in the week?
Did you notice how even the secretary general of the Bilderbergers has now confirmed Jim Tucker's prediction in the Spotlight about when and where they would meet?
That doesn't make THE SPOTLIGHT any less racist.
Maybe not. But surely it does mean that you're not entitled to dismiss everything they say just because they may be racist.
"saying it aimed to educate and enlighten people." Shadows of the Illuminati.Ya know,most people are doublecrossed because the perpetrator acts on the premise that the plot is so outlandish,the victim cannot believe it could ever be so. With that in mind why then can a worldwide conspiracy of the wealthy not exist?I believe ANY AND ALL us politicians who attend this Bilderburg,reptilian conference should be tried for TREASON!!! Also as far as voting in absentee,I have witnessed in the GA.state senate, more then once senators voting for other senators who were not there!!!
'I believe ANY AND ALL us politicians who attend this Bilderburg,reptilian conference should be tried for TREASON!!!'
Man, you had me worried for a minute. you said 'us politicians', meaning U.S. politicians. And then I noticed the lack of 'of' in the sentence (my mistake). I'd have been really upset if you'd gotten yourself hung over something silly like that.
Otherwise I agree totally with your statement.
Racist? I thought they were anti-semitic. Now they're racist, too????? Get real, these people at the Spotlight aren't either one and they have first amendment rights to state their opinions, just like everybody else. It's just that the fed goon ADL-types want to discredit and demonize them so that they cannot have their voices heard in the public arena. The Spotlight was the only publication covering the Bilderberger meetings and now other papers are finally starting to cover their meetings. What's racist/anti-semitic about that? Are the European/US governmental leaders and attendees of the Bilderberg meetings racist or anti-semitic?
March 26, 2001, The Spotlight.
"Under instructions of its Board of Policy, Liberty Lobby is pressing Congress to ban the use of taxpayer funds for federal employees to travel to secret meetings to conduct public business.
The ban would cover all members of Congres, the executive and judicial branches. At present, leaders in congress, high officials of government and the White House attend secret meetings of Bilderberg and the Trilateral Commission at taxpayer expense. At these meeting, they help develop policy that affects every American, yet remain unaccountable to anyone in authority.
Under the "Secret Meetings Act" as proposed by Liberty Lobby, Bilderberg would have to allow the press and broadcast outlets to observe Bilderberg meetings and interview participants or U.S. officials would have to pay their own costs. These costs are significant: attendees do not fly coach and the secret sessions are always held at expensive luxury resort.
(skip)
Similar legislation is pending in Denmark."
The Liberty Lobby?
Friend, if you don't see anything wrong with the Liberty Lobby, then you need to take your hood off so you can get a closer look.
And do you see anything wrong with the Bilderberg meetings to establish policy for our way of life? The Liberty Lobby has no power to affect my life but the participants of the the Bilderberg meetings do. That's the point of this post, which you obviously want to obfuscate, because that's your job.
There are several articles of interest about the recent Bilderberger meeting in the new Spotlight issue of June 11. I don't want to risk getting this thread pulled, so all I will say about those articles here is that they confirm that Senators Dodd and Hagel were at the meeting. Indeed, the issue has a photo of a part of the agenda: Dodd was speaking at a session from 8:30 to 10 on the morning of Saturday Apr. 26 on the "New U.S.Administration." Nothing said in the list of meeting attendees about the presence of Senators McCain and Thompson, although I continue to suspect they were there.
The new Human Events (of June 4) lists all four of these senators -- Dodd, Hagel, McCain, and Thompson -- as having voted both on the tax bill on Apr. 26 and on the confirmation of Ted Olsen on Apr. 24. There's something very troubling here. Taking the time difference into consideration, I suppose it's -- just barely -- possible for Dodd to have flown back in time to vote on the tax bill, as I seem to recall that Senate vote as having taken place in the early afternoon. But then the business he claimed yesterday to have been on together with McCain and Thompson in Europe would probably have been after the Bilderberger meeting. And it just doesn't seem likely to me that he would have flown back and forth, when the result of the vote was so lopsided anyway (58-33).
Did anybody see these four senators -- Dodd, Hagel, McCain, and Thompson -- vote on C-SPAN in either of these votes, either for the tax bill on the Saturday or for Olsen on the Thursday?
Interesting! No, I didn't see the c-span vote.
I am not the best speller,but now that U mention it,I guess in some way we are ALL Politicians here at FreeRepublic.I did have my pic. taken on the GA. Senate floor with a now Former state senator once.
There's something very troubling here.
they are seting up a new money sys right from the U.N
Dodd, Hagel, McCain, and Thompson -- vote on C-SPAN in either of these votes, either for the tax bill on the Saturday or for Olsen on the Thursday?
NO THE GAMES THEY PLAY
TUESDAY JUNE 05 2001 Sony transfers treasury to London BY CAROLINE MERRELL, BANKING CORRESPONDENT SONY, the Japanese electronics giant, is to move its currency and fundraising activities to the City of London in an attempt to reduce trading costs. The move, which will bring an additional $25 billion (£15 billion) in annual trading to London’s foreign exchange and debt markets, is believed to be the first time that a large international corporation has moved its treasury and foreign currency operations to a different country from its headquarters. A Sony spokesman said that London had been chosen because of its geographical position. He added: “In terms of market information, infrastructure, and people, London is the best city to consolidate our financial position.” The move to London is expected to save Sony in the region of Y6 billion (£35.7 million) to Y7 billion a year in commission payments to market intermediaries. The London foreign exchange market has among the lowest brokerage costs in world. The shift is also a reflection of Tokyo’s dwindling reputation as a credible financial centre. Other Japanese companies such as Nissan, the car company, have already transferred some of their financial activities out of the Japanese banking system. JP Morgan Chase, which has the biggest share of trading in the world’s foreign exchange market, now manages Nissan’s treasury operation. Sony, which generates more than 70 per cent of its revenues outside Japan, said at the end of last year that it was considering relocating its financial division, and set up Sony Global and Treasury Services (GTS), initially to oversee currency trading in Europe. However, yesterday the multinational went one step further with the announcement that it intended to fold all four of its subsidiaries specialising in foreign exchange and treasury management into GTS. GTS, with a market capitalisation of Y90 billion and a staff of 90, will oversee commercial paper issuance, bank loans and settlement for Sony’s e-commerce operation. It will have offices in the Square Mile and could be expanded in the future. Yesterday other leading traders in the London foreign exchange and debt markets said that the transfer would not have a material effect on market liquidity, as the total value of the global foreign exchange market is estimated to be worth about $2 trillion a year. The action by Sony could be followed by other Japanese corporations, which are becoming increasingly alarmed about the financial situation in Japan. In recent months Japanese banks have come under enormous pressure because of spiralling bad debts. A new Government led by Junichiro Koizumi has so far failed to instill confidence in the Japanese financial system. Corporations are also unhappy about Japanese regulatory action against many foreign firms over alleged trading breaches. Domestic banks and brokers have largely escaped punishment, creating a lack of confidence in the market overall. The shift by Sony could lead to a loss of tax revenue for the Japanese Government, but is unlikely to have any discernable effect on Sony’s financial performance. Shares in Sony ended in Tokyo up 0.75 per cent at Y9,370, while the benchmark Nikkei 225 average ended up 0.38 per cent at 13,312.35.
I'm going to have to go back through this thread and find out where I'm supposed to have said anything about your spelling.. don't think I'd have done that, but its late and my brain has shifted into neutral. pleasant dreams.

'Sorry,I didn't mean it like that.:o)
I did go back and check out what it was I'd said in that earlier post. I was only joking.
Conspiracy,it seems we have a awful lot of people in prison for "CONSPIRACY" Drugs,Tyranny what's the difference???
Right. The only time you'll hear that word used by media is when its directed against people who don't like what's going on in this country. And the fact that these 'good ole boy' bankers/corporate CEO's and politicians and media people have been meeting in secret, at secluded resorts all over the world once a year, every year, for years , means nothing. Never mind the almost insane security they surround themselves with .... Never mind that after the meetings are over, those same people then go home and start to work immediately to complete an IDENTICAL agenda in their own areas of 'expertise' ... 'they didn't actually TALK about it at the meetings ...
There is a degree of debt. Look at the misery of many countries in the thrall of these Bilderbergers. You will be just a commodity on the ledger books...under labor, to be culled when deemed non-productive. Every country will be a victim of their shock therapy....facism.
Is that Janet Langhart over in the corner?
Wednesday May 23, 05:00 PM Secretive Bilderberg group to meet in Sweden By Peter Starck STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - EU enlargement and the bloc's military role, NATO's future and developments in Russia and China will top the agenda when senior Western business leaders, politicians and a sprinkle of royalty meet in Sweden this week.
The Bilderberg group, a semi-secret discussion forum for the Western world's power elite, will hold its annual meeting in the town of Stenungsund on the Swedish west coast on May 24-28, Swedish newspapers reported on Wednesday.
A 900-metre long metal fence has been erected around Hotel Stenungsbaden, the meeting venue, to keep intruders away, regional daily Goteborgs-Posten said, publishing a picture of the fenced-in hotel.
Anti-globalisation demonstrators are expected to protest outside and local police see the event as a useful training exercise ahead of the mid-June European Union summit in the city of Gothenburg 50 km (30 miles) to the south. The Bilderberg group, named after the hotel where it first met in 1954, was formed early in the Cold War era in reaction to a growing Communist threat. Today, many critics see it as a conspiracy and an agent of a new capitalist world order.
Bilderberg member Jacob Wallenberg, chairman of the board of commercial bank SEB and head of Sweden's influential Wallenberg family whose empire has a finger in most big Swedish industries, played down the group's importance. "This is one of many meetings all over the world where decision-makers get together," he told the daily Dagens Nyheter, which earlier published the main agenda topics.
Invited as speakers, Bill Clinton and Tony Blair were groomed at Bilderberg meetings before rising to fame as U.S. President and British Prime Minister respectively.
EU Commission President Romano Prodi, NATO Secretary-General George Robertson and European Central Bank Governor Wim Duisenberg all have a past as Bilderbergers.
SHAPING CAPITALISM
"Even though no formal decisions are made...this group, together with many others, has contributed to shaping the kind of capitalism we have today and cemented the world's leading business elites together," Goran Greider, editor-in-chief of Dala-Demokraten, a regional Swedish daily, said in a live studio debate on Sweden's TV4 television.
Bilderberg participants abide by the so-called Chatham House rule, which forbids everyone present from disclosing what anybody else has said.
"The secrecy is regarded as very provocative. Men in power talk towards consensus behind closed doors on timely issues on the political agenda," Ulf Bjereld, a political science professor at Gothenburg University, said.
Bilderberg members include former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, U.S. Senators Christopher Dodd, John Kerry and Chuck Hagel, World Bank chief James Wolfensohn, France's central bank governor Jean-Claude Trichet and former IMF heads Michel Camdessus and Stanley Fischer. Also listed are the chairmen of car makers Fiat, Giovanni Agnelli, and DaimlerChrysler, Juergen Schrempp, former British finance minister Kenneth Clarke, Dutch Queen Beatrix and Xerox Corp CEO Paul Allaire
I don't know what Janet Langhart looks like, but I can sure see Henry Kissinger and Vernon Jordan in that picture.
It really kind of gives me the creeps that elected members of our government and a general in the US Army would be members of a "secret" organization that keeps thew public out with security guards and 900 meters of fencing...
Janet Langhart is a very attractive middle aged black woman who appears to be in the green suit in the corner. She is married to Cohen.
As a young ingenue,she created quite a stir on a Boston TV station when she was on a morning show and she asked Lauren Hutton, the model-actress about her meteoric rise.(Hutton sarcastically replied..."I f&^%d my way to the top.")
Langhart has been no slouch in the meteoric rise department. Meoooww.
Clinton attended the Bilderberg conference in 91. After that, Steponallofus and Hillery attended for the remainder of his administration because sitting heads of state do not (normally) attend. It wouldn't look good to the sheeple that might find out. It wouldn't surprise me a bit that he is back to attending as a former President and you can bet, if he is there, nothing good is going to our policy from now on.
the group aimed to develop understanding between Europe and the US at the height of the Cold War by bringing together financiers, industrialists, politicians and opinion formers; the press have never been allowed access and all discussions are under Chatham House rules (no quoting).
This is not true. Cathrine Graham of the Washington Post is a regular at these conflabs as are other "Journalists" but they never report on the meeting.
Marrs also believs he saw a UFO in 1952 and has all kinds of books on the UFO conspiracy.
Should I read those books before or after the title you mentioned?
I, for one, have found nothing "racist" about this weekly. Quite the contrary.
LOL........No, I would just read this one book. It is very well documented and researched. I have not read (and don't want to) read anymore books by him but he sure did enlarge my ideas of the Federal Reserve and the history behind the central banking system.
UFO's do not interest me. (you can borrow my book if you like :-) if you do read it let me know what you think.
