At its June meeting in Sitges, Spain (unreported and held in camera, as is Bilderberg's way), some of the world's most powerful CEOs rubbed shoulders with notable academics and leading politicians.
They included: the chairman of Fiat, the Irish Attorney General Paul Gallagher, the US special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke, Henry Kissinger, Bill Gates, Dick Perle, the Queen of the Netherlands and the editor of The Economist.
Good lord, whoever put together that invitation list should be dropped from the register! What on earth would Kissinger, Gates and Perle have to say to the rest? Although to be fair, Holbrooke and the editor of the Economist -- and possibly the Irish AG -- might be able to make themselves understood to one another. But really, the Queen? She's a lovely lady and all that, but... how are these the most powerful people in the world, again? I mean, Ambassador Holbrooke can't even get the government of India to meet with him!
Which is what makes one particular item on the group's discussion agenda so tremendously significant. See if you can spot the one I mean:
The 58th Bilderberg Meeting will be held in Sitges, Spain 3 -- 6 June 2010. The Conference will deal mainly with Financial Reform, Security, Cyber Technology, Energy, Pakistan, Afghanistan, World Food Problem, Global Cooling, Social Networking, Medical Science, and EU-US relations.
Yep, that's right. Global Cooling.
The global elite is perfectly well aware that global cooling represents a far more serious and imminent threat to the world than global warming, but is so far unwilling to admit it except behind closed doors.
The next few years are going to be very interesting. Watch the global power elite squirming to reposition itself as it slowly distances itself from Anthropogenic Global Warming ("Who? Us? No. We never thought of it as more than a quaint theory..."), and tries to find new ways of justifying green taxation and control, such as "ocean acidification", "biodiversity", etc.)
You'll notice sly shifts in policy spin. In Britain, for example, Chris "Chicken Little" Huhne's suicidal "dash for wind" will be re-invented as a vital step towards "energy security."
There will be less talk of "combating climate change" and more talk of "mitigation". You'll hear enviro-Nazis like Obama's Science Czar John Holdren avoid reference to "global warming" like the plague, preferring the more reliably vague phrase "global climate disruption."
And you know what the worst thing is? If we allow them to, they're going to get away with it. Our duty as free citizens over the next few years is to make sure that they don't.
Whether through ignorance, naivety idealism or cynicism, it really doesn't matter for the result has been the same -- to push the greatest con-trick in the history of science, forcing on global consumers the biggest bill in the history taxation, using "global warming" as an excuse to extend the reach of government further than it has ever gone before.

These internationalist organizations have almost the same membership. Losers, turkeys, failures, Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski, etc.
They all amount to minor league versions of SPECTRE, with the absolute certainty that if they could just control the world, then everything would be perfect. But with no idea about how to get control, or what to do with it if they had control.
Each and every one of them should be forced to manage a large turkey farm for a year. If it turned a profit, they could leave. If it didn't, they had to manage it for another year, until it eventually did.
Most of them would be managing turkeys for the rest of their natural lives.
[Pak Daily Times] Pak security agencies over the past few months have seized over 67,000 kilogrammes of explosives in Karachi and Lahore only. The agencies also revealed that they had found smart third generation bombs, anti-aircraft guns, grenades, boom jackets and lethal chemicals that could kill thousands of innocent civilians.
A top intelligence and security chief reveals that major and timely crackdowns in Lahore and Karachi prevented massive attacks planned by al Qaeda and its affiliated groups to carry out what is termed "mass genocide and slaughter" of civilians.
Mass slaughter will do nicely, O overexcited journalist. Genocide applies only when an entire people is wiped out, not just because lots of people will be killed.
However, The infamous However... the official warned that al Qaeda-linked terrorist attacks were still expected "from Karachi to the Tribal Areas".
Pakistain is a regular victim of terrorist attacks, but the focus of al Qaeda and its allies until now has primarily been on the supply lines of NATO troops that pass through Pakistain to the Taliban-led insurgency across the border in Afghanistan.
Daily Times can confirm that Pakistain is trying to solicit a deal between the US and Afghan Talibans with the help of certain friendly Arab nations while successfully partitioning Afghan Talibans, the TTP, Pakistain's version of Taliban, and al Qaeda. Plans are in place for an operation in North Wazoo, but Kayani has indicated that he will decide when to go ahead, if at all.
"Our biggest concern is where Sirajuddin and Jalaluddin Haqqani will be post-US withdrawal as they are close to al Qaeda," a Western diplomat told Daily Times. While the Pak security establishment considers the father and son duo a "strategic asset" with influences in Ghani, Khost, Paktia and Kajtika provinces in Afghanistan. The Haqqani network, which has a base in North Wazoo, is one of the most powerful hard boy groups in Afghanistan.
A Western military commander stationed in Afghanistan told Daily Times, "The Haqqanis fully supported, coordinated and facilitated attacks by al Qaeda, such as the ones in Kabul and on the Bagram air base this year." Top Pak security officials are hopeful that the deal will go through and that the Haqqanis will "behave if there was reconciliation".
However, Another infamous However... while Sirajuddin is al Qaeda's asset, his ailing father Jalaluddin is somewhat different as he has long-standing friendships with several high-ranking Pashto-speaking officers. Daily Times can confirm that post-9/11, when Pakistain had joined the US 'war on terror', Jalaluddin was invited to Islamabad to convince him to detach himself from the Taliban, as he was originally not part of the Taliban and only partially supported them, but he refused. Pak officials also suggested, possibly via the Americans, that Jalaluddin could become prime minister or even president in the new Afghan set-up in late 2001, but he reportedly refused.
A top Pak intelligence chief told Daily Times, "With Saudi and UAE envoys coming in, Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai dealing with the Pak establishment to strike deals with the Taliban, the Haqqanis might also join the coalition and there could eventually be a happy ending."
While on the other hand, concerned with the negotiations and dealings, al Qaeda too is gradually shifting its base from its global nerve centre -- North Wazoo -- to urban areas of Pakistain. The group has also cemented alliances with the TTP and has given refuge to most of the Mehsuds in North Wazoo, its original base, while successfully linking with and even funding various sectarian groups in Punjab and Sindh.
While Western diplomats and Pak security officials reveal that although negotiations are "on" with regards to Afghanistan, their real and immediate concern now is al Qaeda and the TTP, which might just organise a Mumbai-style attack or a "massive one" to try and destabilise talks and the reconciliation process. A Western diplomat commented, "Expect some fireworks."
That sounds awfully complicated, guaranteed to bring the joy of byzantine plots to the Pakistani soul. How about if we just continue raining down Predator missiles until there are no jihadi boys left? It would simplify things immensely, thus bring joy to the simple Western soul.
