Guest Craig Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 A Portuguese newspaper has reported on something the American corporate media remains cowardly complicit about and dare not even mention - this week's confab of nearly 200 of the world's most influential powerbrokers in Chantilly Virginia for the 2008 Bilderberg Group meeting. The Sol newspaper carries a story today concerning two of the Portuguese attendees of this year's conference, the mayors of Lisbon and Porto - Antonio Costa and Rui Rio. Tellingly, the report highlights the fact that Bilderberg has kingmaker power in vetting future Prime Ministers and Presidents, noting how Pedro Santana Lopes and Jose Socrates attended the 2004 meeting in Stresa, Italy before both going on to become Prime Minster of Portugal. In addition, the report underscores how both Costa and Rio have ambitions to lead their respective parties and potentially run for Prime Minister in the future. The clear implication is that Costa and Rio are being groomed by Bilderberg for future "selection" as Portuguese Prime Minister in the same way that Bill Clinton and Tony Blair were vetted by the secretive organization in the early 1990's. The fact that there has been just one mainstream news report about Bilderberg and not one single mention of this year's meeting in the U.S. corporate media less than 48 hours before nearly 200 top globalists will meet to set the agenda for the planet is another damning indictment of the back-slapping cronyism that dominates the national media. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the editors of such newspapers as the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times are regular Bilderberg attendees and value Bilderberg's strict secrecy rule over and above any responsibility to their readers or the American people. Bilderberg is routinely attended by the world's top CEO's, Prime Minsters, Presidents, NATO officials, UN officials, Federal Reserve members, European Central Bank heads, banking heads, oil heads, University Professors, as well as people like Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller and Bill Gates.

Guest LAW_* Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I saw that mention Premier Jan Peter Balkenende and Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen are visiting Washington from 5 to 8 June. They will be received at the White House by US President George W. Bush. On 5 June, Balkenende and Verhagen will discuss with the departing president "among other things the international political situation, including developments in Afghanistan and economic cooperation between the United States and the Netherlands," according to the Government Information Service (RVD). The premier will also take part in the annual Bilderberg Conference, being held this time in Chantilly, near Washington. This secretive meeting of world leaders was originally dreamed up by Prince Bernhard, the father of Queen Beatrix. The press is not welcome. http://www.nisnews.nl/public/200508_2.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest K. Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 The Bilderberg gathering is now set to take place from June 5-8 and as expected, it will be held at the Westfields Marriott hotel, the same venue of the 2002 meeting. Tucker called the Dutch Embassy and was passed over to the Dutch Embassy in the United States, who confirmed that the meeting would be in Chantilly.

Guest Andre in Arlington Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 You know the Washington Post is a member of the Bilderberg Group. That is why we do not hear anything about the meeting from them. The funny thing is that U.S. Taxpayers foot the bill on something we will never know about. The Rich get richer, the poor get poorer.
