Meet the Bilderbergs
In this entry I will attempt to briefly explain who the Bilderberg Group is, how they came to be and what they are doing.The Bavarian Illuminati have long sought to establish a global Luciferian government. The Nazi Third Reich was their first serious attempt but for reasons I'll discuss elsewhere the plan failed.
A few years after the war, in 1954, the Illuminati began a new program: The Bilderberg Group.
There are thirteen essential royal European families our houses who believe themselves to be superior to all other humans on this planet. They are all offshoots of the Merovingian family lineage. These Elitist Royals believe themselves to be more than merely human, they believe themselves to be flesh encased gods and light-holders, the rightful masters of world. They hold to an ancient religious belief system devoted to the Light Bringer, the Son of the Morning. They deem themselves to be the Enlightened Ones, the Illuminati.
Under the authority of the Dutch crown these Illuminati families, headed by Rockefeller associate Elites, gathered in a secret meeting at the Netherlands Hotel Bilderberg in Oosterbeck.
At this initial meeting the leaders of the Bavarian Illuminati called together many of the richest and most powerful capitalists on earth and made them an offer they could not resist. Through various deals and agreements plans were developed and redesigned for the establishment of the New World Order ("Novus Ordo Mundi") and the subsequent New Secular Age ("Novus Ordo Seclorum"). These were not new ideas but their execution came under the authority of this and related groups.
The basic plan had been underway for a very long time. What was new was the establishment of a global guild, named the Bilderberg Group, that would hold annual meetings to facilitate the timely working out of the Illuminati Plan of world conquest and lordship.
As Adolf Hitler had failed his mission to establish the New World Order, a competition was established between Globalists in the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. This contest was known as the Cold War.
"National Socialism will use its own revolution for establishing of a new world order."Adolph Hitler during World War II
"They [the Soviets] intend...to induce the Americans to adopt their own 'restructuring' and convergence of the Soviet and American systems using to this end the fear of nuclear conflict.... Convergence will be accompanied by blood baths and political re-education camps in Western Europe and the United States. The Soviet strategists are counting on an economic depression in the United States and intend to introduce their reformed model of socialism with a human face as an alternative to the American system during the depression."Anatoliy Golitsyn The Perestroika Deception 1990.
What happened however was that the United States was victorious in the Cold War and proved itself superior in undermining global freedom and security and promoting the New World Order:
"Our nation is uniquely endowed to play a creative and decisive role in the new order which is taking form around us."Henry Kissinger Seattle Post Intelligence 1975
In order to be successful and court Bilderberg approval many of the most power capitalists and media Moguls in the US sold their souls to the Light Bringer and his servants. Of this we read:
"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected the promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world-government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the National auto-determination practiced in past centuries"--David Rockefeller in an address to a Trilateral Commission meeting in June of 1991
Now that the day is dawning for the Luciferian dream to be realized, it is the United States that is falling in order to return the global throne to the Bavarian Illuminati masters. If the plan goes as conceived, the EU will finalize their unification, a genetically perfected male child of a Jewish Merovingian mother will arise and receive the Illuminati throne from which he will rule the world.
The Bilderberg Group has sought to maintain the privacy of its members but we know of many of them. Following is a rather lengthy although incomplete list of Bilderberg servants of the Bavarian Illuminati, the true Master of the Universe.
In their own words...
Every US president since Eisenhower has either belonged to the Bilderberg Group or its older sister guild, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), or been directly approved by them.
"... it's Bush's baby, even if he shares its popularization with Gorbachev. Forget the Hitler 'new order' root; F.D.R. used the phrase earlier." -- William Safire, in the New York Times (February 1991).
The central Bilderberg Group is merely a more public guild of the Illuminati. Their primary role is the establishment and orchestration of the various New World Order work groups such as the Counsel on Foreign Relations (CFR), the Trilateral Commission (founded by David Rockefeller and Brzezinski), the Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA) based at Chatham House in London, the Federal Reserve (established by the House of Rothchild and Paul Warburg), ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, the New York Times, Fox News, the BBC and most of the Western corporate media. These and other Illuminati ministries are at work around the globe preparing the global Secular Humanist agenda.
Among the members of the Bilderberg Group are Paul Wolfowitz, Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Tony Blair, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Dick Cheney, both George Bushes' and countless other heads of government, business, politicians, bankers and journalists from around the world."
The Bilderberg Group is a secret government that is working at the pleasure of the Bavarian Illuminati.
It is from the Illuminati that Rex Mundi, the coming global ruler, will arise.
There is nothing new under the sun. The Bilderbergs are merely the current incarnation of the Luciferian Plan for global conquest.
"The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes." --Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli of England, in 1844.
"Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." - Woodrow Wilson
"[The New World Order] cannot happen without U.S. participation, as we are the most significant single component. Yes, there will be a New World Order, and it will force the United States to change it's perceptions." -- Henry Kissenger, World Affairs Council Press Conference, Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel , April 19th 1994
"We know in the not too distant future, a half dozen corporations are going to control the media. We took this step (merger) to ensure we were one of them"--Time Warner spokesperson.
"We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent." -- Statement made before the United States Senate on Feb. 7, 1950 by James Paul Warburg ("Angel" to and active in the United World Federalists), son of Paul Moritz Warburg, nephew of Felix Warburg and of Jacob Schiff, both of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. which poured millions into the Russian Revolution through James' brother Max, banker to the German government - See the Sisson Report
"All of us will ultimately be judged on the effort we have contributed to building a NEW WORLD ORDER."--Robert Kennedy, former U.S. Attorney-General, 1967.
"Fundamental Bible-believing people do not have the right to indoctrinate their children in their religious beliefs because we, the state, are preparing them for the year 2000, when America will be part of a one-world global society and their children will not fit in." --Nebraska State Senator Peter Hoagland, speaking on radio in 1983.
"When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of freedom to Americans..." "And so alot of people say there's too much personal freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it. That's what we did in the announcement I made last weekend on the Housing Projects, about how we're going to have weapon sweeps and more things like that to try to make the people feel safer in their communities"--President Bill Clinton 3-22-94, MTV's "Enough is Enough"
"We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans.."-- Bill Clinton USA Today--3-11-93, page 2a
"Gun registration is not enough"--Attorney General Janet Reno--12-10-93--Associated Press. It was of course Janet the Butcher Reno and Hillary who orchestrated the murder of the Waco Christians.
"The Trilateral Commission is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States. The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power--Political, Monetary, Intellectual, and Ecclesiastical."--U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater from his 1964 book "No Apologies"
"I believe that if the people of this nation fully understood what Congress has done to them over the last 49 years, they would move on Washington; they would not wait for an election....It adds up to a preconceived plan to destroy the economic and social independence of the United States!" --George W. Malone, U.S. Senator (Nevada), speaking before Congress in 1957.
"We are not going to achieve a new world order without paying for it in blood as well as in words and money." -- Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., in Foreign Affairs (July/August 1995)
Walter Cronkite acknowledging his support for the One World Government:
A partial list of members of the Bilderberg Group:The Bilderberg Group or Bilderberg conference is an unofficial annual invitation-only conference of around 130 guests, most of whom are persons of influence in the fields of business, media, and politics.

It has an office in Leiden, South Holland, Netherlands.[1] They met at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Istanbul, Turkey for the June 2007 meeting.[2] The 56th Bilderberg meeting took place June 6-8, 2008 at the Westfields Marriott in Chantilly, Va.

Wednesday, 02 July 2008 - STAMFORD, CT: Forty-seven year old truck driver Sachdev Singh entered the State of Connecticut Superior Court on June 18, 2008, seeking to contest a traffic violation when he was arrested for wearing a kirpan, a blade that is a Sikh article of faith, and his turban was forcibly removed from his head.
After approximately an hour of questioning, Sachdev Singh's handcuffs were removed, he was allowed to retie his turban, and then was placed under arrest for "carrying a dangerous weapon." Sachdev Singh was taken to jail where he was fingerprinted and his turban was once again forcibly removed. Currently, Sachdev Singh is being charged with a possession of a dangerous weapon, which is punishable by up to $500 in fines, up to 3 years in prison, or both. Under this charge, if the edge portion of the blade exceeds 4 inches in length, it is considered "a dangerous weapon." However, it is to be noted that the five-inch kirpan he was carrying at the time was so dull that the "edge" could be rubbed along one's hand without causing any harm. He was released from jail once he posted bail. "It was a great shock that state marshals handling security of a court of law would treat me in this manner," commented Sachdev Singh. "I am concerned this incident will adversely affect my citizenship status, as I am applying for naturalization, and I am upset that my rights were so unlawfully cast aside in a courthouse, of all places," he added.
