Au contraire, if it is the same person we're thinking of (DH?) although they do give a nice pat soundbite I think, if anything, it confirms almost all of the conspiracy theorists worst views [0]. Even if the Bilderberg group don't *think* they're doing anything wrong. I found the duality/schizophrenia of the book interesting (he says, misuing words with recless abandon, but you know what I mean). Go, read, it's interesting and an easy and entertaining read.
