Quote of the Day:
"Some even believe we (the Rockefeller family) are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the USA characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure---one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."-
David RockefellerCongressman Ron Paul, icon to liberty lovers the world over, sent a stark message this week to ruling elite “internationalists” attempting to expand globalism via the Western military industrial complex –
you will fail.From www.skepticblog.org on the published minutes from 1973:
"If you have the courage to read through them, you’ll notice two things. First, names are omitted. The Bilderberg Group never records the identities of speakers, as a way to encourage uninhibited discussion. This is in accordance with a policy called the Chatham House Rule. The lists of each meeting’s attendees is, however, publicly released by the Bilderberg Group and they’re all available on their web site.
"Second, you’ll note that they’re not very interesting. A lot of world politics stuff is discussed, and just as the Group states, they do not make any decisions or issue any orders.
"Yet if you ask a conspiracy theorist if there’s anything that could change their mind regarding their belief that the Bilderbergers are the secret world government, they’ll probably say no (the definition of a closed mind). Those few who might answer yes would probably tell you that reading the actual minutes of a Bilderberg meeting could change their mind. Well, here’s your chance. Let us know."Link to 1973 meeting minutes:
Bilderberg meeting table of contentsHow can the above writer from Skepticblog, who is most certainly aware of the opening Rockefeller quote from this article and the Estulin book (which contains a lot of smoke, admittedly, but where there's smoke there's some fire, as the saying goes) and still not think anything is going on but an open discussion.
Would the Skepticblog author suggest the world's powerbrokers get together merely to talk but in no way to influence global events? Come on, even David Rockefeller himself will admit to motivation and means
to control. Let's take a broad view just for a minute with a focus on summing things up - who controls the US? Politicians or corporations? Corporations of course. Anyone can answer that.
An American politician must have sponsors to do anything in the politics. Who's interests is he or she looking out for? His or her own or the sponsor's? His or her interests become the sponsor's interests when it comes to politics. How many American politicians in the upper echelons of politics are of independent means: (which would free them from subservience to those interests which got them into office and decided their politics) the answer is
none.
Who controls the major corporations that control politics, domestic and international? Why, the very men who attend Bilderberg meetings, Bohemian Grove, are members of the CFR and the TC (Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission), as well as the RIIA (Royal Institute of International Affairs) and a handful of other elite groups.
The writing is on the wall. If you want to understand the interests and direction of the so-called globalists simply read any mainstream newspaper, or look at their websites and television channels.
Think the US national debt is an accident, that we
just happened to let it get that high through careless spending? Think again. Want answers for this? Look to the Federal Reserve Bank, which is not an actual government institution. See who controls that organization and what their interests are. Note: all the main players of the Fed are Bilderberg attendants, CFR members, etc. One can't be skeptical of that, it's a simple fact.
