Dear all,
In a bit of a rush tonight - but here's the 2002 press release and participant list -
marked STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL would you believe! Bilderberg certainly aren't short on
cheek.
Please have a good look through the list and let me know if you find dodgey
connections - CIA, big oil, banks, military etc. - that aren't mentioned in
participants' descriptions. They forgot to mention that John Deutch, for example, is
ex-boss of the CIA. I'll update the list as necessary in a couple of weeks time.
Please note also that the Bilderberg 1 hour video is now available in PAL featuring
interviews with Denis Healy, Jim Tucker and the ADL.
See http://www.bilderberg.org/bilder.htm#film
A message for Bilderbergers and their secretariat and security staff is appended. A
reply would be appreciated because you have not replied to my recent communications.
The participant list is available at http://www.bilderberg.org/2002.htm and Jim
Tucker's wrapping up article on this year's conference is below.

Dear Bilderbergers and Bilderberg staff,
Little or no mainstream press coverage of Bilderberg again. Is that good or bad?
You really must consider sending out a Press Release a month or so before the meetings
- so the press can write something about you if they want. A press conference at the
end of each annual meeting is the minimum your 'Corporate Responsibility' demands.
That is if you want commentators and the public to take the idea of 'Corporate
Governance' seriously and not treat it as an empty PR spin term (or lie).
You could quite easily publish the list of participants after the meeting has finished
with absolutely no security risk. The STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL nonsense in the release
seems calculated to stifle discussion in the west rather than 'for reasons of
security' as you have stated.
If you're going to make progress towards your World Government, European Superstate,
Global Currency or whatever it is you want, you must do it with the consent of the
people of the world. That, I'm afraid, means allowing at least some press scrutiny.
If you don't do that you open yourselves wide up to the allegation of being
totalitarians. Something I would have thought you might want to avoid.
Press scrutiny is not an option. It is essential to democracy. Without it we have
totalitarianism.
Also, it seems that politicians are only invited from the NATO countries. Although all
Western European and North American Countries have representatives at the conference.
France, for example, has no political representatives. Do you have to join NATO before
somebody from your government is allowed to come? Don't you even think the press has a
right to ask these questions?
Democracy is a tried and tested, if old-fashioned, idea and you ignore it at your
peril.
yours,
Tony Gosling

PRESS RELEASE
BILDERBERG MEETINGS
31 May 2002
The 50th Bilderberg Meeting will be held in Chantilly, Virginia, U.S.A., 30 May-2 June
2002. Among other subjects the Conference will discuss Terrorism, Trade, Post Crisis
Reconstruction, Middle East, Civil Liberties, US Foreign Policy, Extreme Right, World
Economy, Corporate Governance. Approximately 120 participants from North America and
Europe will attend the discussions. The meeting is private in order to encourage frank
and open discussion.
Bilderberg takes its name from the hotel in Holland, where the first meeting took
place in May 1954. That pioneering meeting grew out of the concern expressed by
leading citizens on both sides of the Atlantic that Western Europe and North America
were not working as closely as they should on common problems of critical importance.
It was felt that regular, off-the-record discussions would help create a better
understanding of the complex forces and major trends affecting Western nations in the
difficult post war period. The cold war has now ended. But in practically all respects
there are more, not fewer, common problems - from trade to jobs, from monetary policy
to investment, from ecological challenges to the task of promoting international
security. It is hard to think of any major issue in either Europe or North America
whose unilateral solution would not have repercussions for the other. Thus the concept
of a European-American forum has not been overtaken by time. The d!
ialogue between these two regions is still - even increasingly - critical.
What [check out this sentence ;-)] is unique about Bilderberg as a forum is the broad
cross-section of leading citizens that are assembled for nearly three days of informal
and off-the-record discussion about topics of current concern especially in the fields
of foreign affairs and the international economy; the strong feeling among
participants that in view of the differing attitudes and experiences of the Western
nations, there remains a clear need to further develop an understanding in which these
concerns can be accommodated; the privacy of the meetings, which has no purpose other
than to allow participants to speak their minds openly and freely. In short,
Bilderberg is a small flexible, informal and off-the-record international forum in
which different viewpoints can be expressed and mutual understanding enhanced.
Bilderberg's only activity is its annual Conference. At the meetings, no resolutions
are proposed, no votes taken, and no policy statements issued. Since 1954, forty-nine
conferences have been held. The names of the participants are made available to the
press. Participants are chosen for their experience, their knowledge, and their
standing; all participants attend Bilderberg in a private and not an official
capacity. There are usually about 120 participants of whom about two-thirds come from
Europe and the balance from North America. About one-third are from government and
politics, and two-thirds from finance, industry, labor, education, communications.
Participants have agreed not to give interviews to the press during the meeting. In
contacts with the news media after the conference it is an established rule [ref.
Chatham House Rule] that no attribution should be made to individual participants of
what was discussed during the meeting.
There will be no press conference. A list of participants is appended.

Bilderberg Batters Bush; But Unity remains on NWO
http://www.americanfreepress.net/06_09_02/Bilderberg_Batters_Bush/bilderberg_batters_bush.html
The United States took its worst beating ever at the secret Bilderberg meeting but
there remains complete unity on the goal of establishing a world government.
Exclusive to American Free Press
By James P. Tucker Jr.
CHANTILLY. Va.?Bilderberg luminaries battered their American counterparts over U.S
Middle East policy, which they blamed for causing the need for a ?war on terrorism?
which could lead to bloody military misadventures.
However, most Bilderberg boys from both sides of the Atlantic were, for some reason,
confident there would be no war between Pakistan and India. At that moment, both
nations were on the brink of a nuclear holocaust.
It could have had something to do with the appearance of Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld, who was hastily summoned to appear on Saturday, June 1. Rumsfeld had
attended a Bilderberg meeting in 1975 at Cemse, Turkey, as an assistant to President
Jerry Ford. Ford had attended Bilderberg as minority leader of the House.
Rumsfeld is known to have been summoned to reassure the Europeans there would be ?no
immediate? U.S. invasion of Iraq as had been planned by the White House (American Free
Press, June 10). He was pressed, but refused to say, that the United States had no
plans for future wars.
Whether Rumsfeld also helped reassure Bilderberg there would be no war between
Pakistan and India could not be determined.
But, even as Rumsfeld was assuring Bilderberg of at least a momentary delay in
launching a new war, President Bush was rattling sabers in a commencement ad dress at
West Point.
?Pre-emptive strikes? will be used against nations or groups that threaten the United
States, Bush told the newly minted Army officers. He vowed to ?take the battle to the
enemy, disrupt its plans and confront the worst threats before they emerge.?
Besides Rumsfeld, Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Kenneth Dam was scheduled to
attend?and did.
But unity was expressed with kind words, smiles, hand shakes and embraces on
Bilderberg?s long-term agenda:
? Empowering the United Nations until it becomes a de jure, as well as de facto, world
government.
? Advancing this goal by creating a direct UN tax on ?world citizens,? expanding NAFTA
throughout the Western Hemisphere as a prelude to creating an ?American Union? similar
to the European Union and empowering international bodies to further erode the
sovereignty of nations. Further establishing NATO as the UN?s world army was also
discussed.
There was much hand-wringing over ?rising nationalism? in Europe, as demonstrated by
the electoral successes of Jean-Marie Le Pen in France and by a populist ?resurgence?
in The Netherlands and Denmark. Americans agreed to pursue a ?world without borders.?
But on the issues of war and America?s Middle East policy, Americans faced three days
of chastisement, both in formal sessions and during glass-tinkling between sessions. A
grim-faced Henry Kissinger and others had to take it as Europeans denounced U.S.
policy.
It reached the point that Europeans were praising their detested press, which has
showered them with unwanted publicity in recent years. This is a close paraphrase of
the angry words Americans heard:
In Europe, you would be unable to conduct such a one-sided policy in the Middle East.
Europeans know, because of heavy press coverage, of Israel?s wars of expansion and
brutal occupation of Palestinian lands. They are aware of the cruelty inflicted on
civilians, including women and children, for no military objective at all.
Europeans know that Israel?s military machine is financed by the United States. They
know that the planes, tanks and weapons attacking innocent citizens are provided by
the United States. While there is no justification for the attacks in New York and
Washington on Sept. 11, Europeans know that Palestinians will resist in any way they
can.
Because of the unfair Middle East policy of the United States, we Europeans now must
be your allies in your war on terrorism.
Americans responded to this with grim faces and shrugs.
The administration had anticipated this barrage and tried to soften it with a peace
plan that included an independent Palestinian state. This goes beyond previous U.S.
positions, Americans reassured the Europeans, which merely called for Palestinian
statehood. The plan was still being drafted as Bilderberg met but they were assured it
would be publicly unveiled in July.
Bilderberg celebrated the fact that a global UN tax is ?part of the public dialogue?
without a public outcry by ?nationalists.? Alan Keyes, as President Ronald Reagan?s UN
ambassador, denounced the proposed tax and it has been widely discussed since.
Bilderberg has offered several variations of the world tax. First, it suggested a
10-cent tax on oil at the barrel head, meaning citizens would pay a direct tax to the
UN when gassing up their cars or using oil in any way. A surcharge on international
travel by air or sea and a tax on international financial transfers were also proposed.
Like the federal income tax, a UN levy would be so small at the outset the consumer
would hardly notice. But establishing the principle that the UN can directly tax
citizens of the world is important to Bilderberg. It is another giant step toward
world government. It is openly discussed with little public notice or objection
?except for the Ron Pauls in Congress? and ?nationalist? publications, Bilderberg boys
assured themselves. The references were to populist Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) and the
newspaper you are reading.
There were also demands for ?tax equity??meaning that the United States must revise
her tax laws to more evenly reflect the high-tax, socialistic societies of Europe. It
was called ?unfair trade? for the United States to be so?by comparison??tax friendly?
to individuals and businesses.
Europeans continued to complain about the new farm subsidy legislation and the
imposition of tariffs on steel imports to protect the domestic industry against
dumping and were distraught that the Senate version of Fast Track would allow Congress
to block any trade deals that negate laws protecting domestic industries.
There was continued sniping at the United States be cause Bush ?unsigned? the Kyoto
global warming treaty which, economists warned, would generate sky-high inflation
while requiring nothing of most nations. Spite fully, the 15-nation European Union
ratified the treaty on June 1 as Bilderberg was meeting. This prompted a graying
Bilderberg luminary to moan that George Bush is ?the worst president since [Richard]
Nixon.? Never has Bush received a higher tribute.
NATO has been functioning as the standing army of the United Nations since celebrating
its 50th anniversary in Washington during the invasion of Yugoslavia. NATO?s first
shot fired in anger was not in defense, as its charter required, but in an offensive
war. At that time, leaders announced that NATO was no longer confined to Europe but
would undertake military ventures anywhere in the world?at the direction of the UN
Security Council.
Bilderberg is reinforcing this world army doctrine while doing early work on the third
great region of the world: the emerging ?Asian-Pacific Union.?
It is already being bound together as APEC?the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation
forum. Even as Bilderberg met, one of its own, Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) was attending
a meeting of Asian-Pacific defense ministers. Ultimately, there are to be three great
regions for the administrative convenience of the world government: the European
Union, American Union and Asian-Pacific Union.
Bilderberg ended a day earlier than normal, abandoning Westfields early on Sunday
afternoon, June 2. Normally, they would have said their farewells on Mon day. This
must have been a sudden decision, be cause staffers of Bilderberg participants in
nearby Washington had been told they would be out of their offices until Tuesday.

major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
