- The world's most secret society is to
meet in Portugal in June. Bilderberg, one of the most secretive organisation
in the world,comprising presidents, royal families, ministers, top industrialists
and financial leaders are set to meet in Sintra, Portugal at the beginning
of June. Francisco Pinto Balsamão, former Portuguese PM, media baron
and frequent attendee of the meetings is listed as the member for Portugal.
-
- The security for the Bilderberg meetings,
which are held at irregular intervals and prompted by the state of world
affairs, is the responsibility of the host country.
-
- According to sources in Washington, Bilderberg
will pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to reimburse the Portuguese government
for deploying military forces to guard their privacy and for helicopters
to seek out intruders.
-
- Bilderberg have ordered the resort to
be shut down for a full 48 hours before the conference. The Bilderberg
delegates, comprising some of the world's most powerful decision makers,
will be here to discuss highly classified issues which are not supposed
to be disclosed to the public by the press, before or after the meeting.
-
- Initially alerted to this meeting by
a New York reader who requested anonymity, The News contacted the Caesar
Park Penha Longa resort in Sintra to verify the information that the secret
meeting will be held at their resort.
-
- The only confirmation we received was
that an organization 'wishing for the utmost privacy' would be in Sintra
and that the hotel was fully and exclusively booked by this organisation
from June 2 to June 7.
-
- The agenda for the meeting is said to
include a "globilaztion summit", during which nations which cling
tenaciously to their sovereign identities will be denounced by its leadership.
-
- The principal feature of Bilderberg is
that it seeks one global government, (a structure similar to the European
Union), while counteracting nationalist sentiment is supposedly its greatest
battle.
-
- Renewed calls for the United Nations
to be able to directly tax all people of the world is said to be another
major topic to be tabled for discussion in Sintra.
-
- Bilderberg meetings are only held when
and where the hosts can provide the highest levels of security for their
guests.
-
- All Bilderberg participants, their staff
members and resort employees will wear photo identification tags. They
will have separate colours to identify the wearer as participant, staff
member or employee. A computer chip "fingerprint" will assure
the identity of the card's wearer.
-
- According to the Washington based investigative
newsletter, Spotlight, who claims to have a contact inside Bilderberg,
any intruders are to be manhandled, cuffed and jailed and if the intruders
resist arrest or attempt to flee, they will be shot.
-
- International and national media are
said to be welcome only when an oath of silence has been taken, news editors
are held responsible if any of their journalists 'inadvertently' report
on what takes place.
-
- Bilderberg members are immune to all
forms of bureaucracy that face ordinary citizens on a daily basis.
-
- No visas are required and a free and
safe passage is provided by the government providing the Bilderberg rendezvous.
They travel to and from the airport to the resort in armoured vehicles
with a police escort. Meetings are held annually but rarely at the same
locations for obvious security reasons.
-
- The first Bilderberg conference was held
at the Bilderberg Hotel in Osterbeek Holland in May 1954, and the organization
is said to have been established as a secret and supportive wing of NATO
and the Marshall plan which was launched in the 1940s.
-
- The News having researched various sources
on the Bilderberg meetings, discovered that PSD co-founder, Francisco Pinto
Balsemão, allegedly attended at least the previous two Bilderberg
meetings held in Scotland (1998) and Georgia in the United States (1997).
Balsemão is said to be the only Portuguese representative on the
Bilderberg steering committee.
-
- Other prominent figures listed to have
attended previous meetings are Ricardo Salgado chief executive officer
at Banco Espirito Santo, Henry Kissinger, Tony Blair (who attended the
meeting held in 1995) and Giovanni Agnelli who is the owner of the Fiat
Motor Corporation.
