Yes, Mildred, the People Who Run the World Have Private Meetings

May 21st, 2009

Via: Guardian:

So who is the paranoid one? Me, hiding in stairwells, watching the pavement behind me in shop windows, staying in the open for safety? Or Bilderberg, with its two F-16s, circling helicopters, machine guns, navy commandos and policy of repeatedly detaining and harassing a handful of journalists? Who’s the nutter? Me or Baron Mandelson? Me or Paul Volker, the head of Obama’s economic advisory board? Me or the president of Coca-Cola?

It makes me want to spit, the absurdity of it: the cost, not just in Greek tax euros, but on my peace of mind, of having (conservatively) a dozen Jack Bauers assigned to tailing me. I hope the operation at least had a cool name: Operation Catastrophic Overreaction, perhaps.

    Here in the fascist heartland or Europe, just three hours or so by care from the Bilderberg Hotel that lent its moniker to the conference, people are definitely a little more cynical after two world wars on their turf in the last century — but not much better informed. “Cathode-based Selective Memory Loss” I like to call it.

    Eventually, the lizards will get their s**t together and start holding Bilderberg and the like in hard-to-reach places like Svalbard; locations that will keep the bullhorn set at bay while allowing easy access to the Gulfstream, superyacht and private submarine set…

    “…will the owner of the jet black dual-prop Nukestream-2000 please come to underwater parking level, you left your lights on…”

    The people who run the world have a lot of private clubs and meetings. Check out the Pilgrims Society; Roxburghe Club; 1001 Club; and Le Cercle, for starters:
