- The 1999 annual meeting of the Bilderberg group took
place in <http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_exnews/19990526_xex_clinton_pope.shtmlSin
tra, Portugal, June 3-6. The November meeting at the Library of Congress
is being billed as a special steering committee session.
-
- According to sources which penetrated the high-security
meetings in the past, the Bilderberg meetings emphasize a globalist agenda
and promote the idea that the notion of national sovereignty is antiquated
and regressive.
-
- In 1998, British free-lance journalist Campbell Thomas
attempted to cover the conference in Turnberry, Scotland, for the Daily
Mail. Thomas began by seeking the opinions of neighbors to the secret meeting
being held nearby. One of those was a young woman who told him he was in
the hotel's staff quarters and should leave immediately, which he did.
-
- A short while later, two local police officers arrested
Thomas, who reportedly remained in custody for eight hours.
-
- Not all journalists are treated quite so harshly, as
the guest roster for the November meeting indicates. link
