Bilderberg 2015: where criminals mingle with ministers

[umbertino]

Even a lecture on the convicted criminals due to arrive or a chat about ‘shameless’ HSBC didn’t deter Austria’s officers from yet another ID check

I had three Austrian policemen in my hotel room last night. They stood there all grim faced with their fluorescent bibs, torches and sidearms. It was like the worst ever fancy dress party. I offered them a pilsner. They declined. They were too busy checking my ID that had been carefully checked 10 minutes prior at a police checkpoint. And carefully checked two minutes prior to that, at another police checkpoint.

 

This third check took so long, it was so late, and my patience was so thin, that eventually I took my shirt and trousers off in front of the officers. “I’m having a shower,” I explained, and went and had one. When I’d finished, I came out in my towel, thinking they might be gone. They weren’t. “Put your clothes on please and come to your car.” This party wasn’t getting any better.

 

Out at my car I couldn’t be bothered to get into the whole ‘probable cause’ thing so I flung open the doors and with as much good cheer as I could muster, said: “Help yourself”. They did. While one set of police searched my car with their torches, another lot clustered round me and asked me questions: “Where do you live? What are you doing here?” I’m a journalist and I live in a police state. What about you?

 

In my trouser pocket I found a “Medienhandbuch” from the G7, which I was given in my goodie bag when I was accredited there. By the light of a police searchlight, which was trained on me like I was trying to escape Stalag 17, I read out passages to my guards to pass the time. “Experienced staff from the Federal Government will be happy to help you with your work …” An officer interrupted. “Your address please.” It was on my driving licence in his hand. This was getting silly.

 

A little while later, bored and a bit cold, I decided to point out to the officers that while they were treating a journalist like a criminal, there were actual criminals about to arrive at the hotel they were guarding. Convicted criminals. Such as disgraced former CIA boss, David Petraeus, who’s just been handed a $100,000 (£64,000) fine and two years’ probation for leaking classified information.

 

Petraeus now works for the vulturous private equity firm KKR, run by Henry Kravis, who does arguably Bilderberg’s best impression of Gordon Gecko out of Wall Street. Which he cleverly combines with a pretty good impression of an actual gecko.

 

“What is a gecko?” asked one of my captors. “I’ll tell you what a gecko is if you tell me where the press accreditation centre is. What, there isn’t one? That’s a shame, because it would be really useful. You wouldn’t have to harass me in the middle of the night like this. I could just show you my press pass.” The policeman scribbled on his notebook. “Great, are you getting this down?” No. He was writing down the number on my driving licence. Again.

 

“Can I go now?” Another no. So I continued my list of criminals. I moved on to someone closer to home: René Benko, the Austrian real estate baron, who had a conviction for bribery upheld recently by the supreme court. Which didn’t stop him making the cut for this year’s conference. “You know Benko?” The cop nodded. It wasn’t easy to see in the glare of the searchlight, but he looked a little ashamed.

 

I reassured him that Benko’s crimes were in the very best traditions of Bilderberg. Don’t forget, the first chairman of the group, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, was the biggest fraudster of the lot; he was caught back in the 70s organising bribes from Lockheed and Northrop for the same arms contract. It was such a scandal that in 1976, Bilderberg had to skip a year out of sheer embarrassment.

 

Maybe they should think about giving this year a miss as well. I wouldn’t mind. I’m not having any fun here. “Do you mind turning off that searchlight? I won’t run away, I promise.” A stern head shook. The policemen were careful to keep officers on all sides of me. Like they’ve been trained to when faced with a slightly damp journalist wielding a G7 media handbook.

 

I decided to reward their vigilance with a chat about HSBC. The chairman of the troubled banking giant, Douglas Flint, is a regular attendee at Bilderberg, and he’s heading here again this year, along with a member of the bank’s board of directors, Rona Fairhead. Perhaps most tellingly, Flint is finding room in his Mercedes for the bank’s busiest employee: its chief legal officer, Stuart Levey.

 

A Guardian editorial this week branded HSBC “a bank beyond shame” after it announced plans to cut 8,000 jobs in the UK, while at the same time threatening to shift its headquarters to Hong Kong. And having just been forced to pay £28m in fines to Swiss regulators investigating money-laundering claims. The big question, of course, is how will the chancellor of the exchequer, George Osborne, respond to all this? Easy – he’ll go along to a luxury Austrian hotel and hole up with three senior members of HSBC in private. For three days.

 

High up on this year’s conference agenda is “current economic issues”, and without a doubt, one of the biggest economic issues for Osborne at the moment is the future and finances of Europe’s largest bank. Luckily, the chancellor will have plenty of time at Bilderberg to chat all this through through with Flint, Levey and Fairhead. And the senior Swiss financial affairs official, Pierre Maudet, a member of the Geneva state council in charge of the department of security and the economy. It’s all so incredibly convenient.

 

Yet it doesn’t sit easily with Osborne’s intention, which he trumpeted five years ago, shortly after taking office, “to implement the most radical transparency agenda the country has ever seen”. What he’s doing this week in Bavaria is about as transparent as an alp.

 

I’d got about as far as the 8,000 job cuts when I was finally allowed to go free. An utterly ridiculous 35-minute ID check. I would have been more furious but I was starting to get into the swing of my lecture. The searchlight was lowered and they waved me off into the night. “But wait, I haven’t even got as far as Henry Kissinger being questioned for war crimes …”

 

“Goodnight, sir.”

Criminals still run the show, as we all sit distracted by useless drama via

media and governments. it never ends unfortunately, and cannot until

people have the guts to stand up to it.

 

Thanks Umberto

And there it is... the real criminals running the whole show is right.

 

hobummer's slave masters,

 

the evil that has valerie jarret - the White House Scullery Maid running Our Republic - spying on their boy and reporting back to them....

 

the ones who broke Patraeus - the soldier who knew all their plans and secrets to manipulate the world - and forced him into their evil fold to do their bidding or face the consequences of their wrath...

 

the satanic, twisted pedophiles who worship only each other and their ill-gotten gold in the Vatican catacombs....

 

the evil that loves nothing more than the spoils of a good war and arming the hell out of 'em, too FOR A PRICE, natch...

 

the bastards who run the world and want to enslave every last one of us....

Why is hobummer keeping the terms of the Trade Deal secret and locked in the basement and making

anyone who sees it sign to swear they will NOT speak of it's intent...?

 

Because we are about to be taken down by these bastards and turned into a European-style "UNION"... that's why.

 

The AMEROs are minted and waiting in Denver in the bunker by the airport.

 

 

Those who have seen it - come out shaken and disturbed.  They know what's goin' down and we're ska-rewed......

Why just pick on the Kenyan? By my count there's 54 republican senators that are going along with it.

Did you miss the part where we said swearing all who see it to secrecy...?  Some of those are REPS....

 

Matters NOT to us which party - all parties are corrupt at this point and under the thumb of the OWO/PTB/OWG,

who is REALLY the force steering this Republic into a European-style "UNION"

[flatdawg]

I saw where you said that, and it matters not.

A true statesman or patriot would let the citizens know regardless of swearing or not.

You'd think, right...?

 

And THAT's where we have a problem....

 

just how badly DOES this evil cartel have US by the cojones that so many who should be standing up are cowering

and running for cover like sniveling little weasels ?

 

What do they find out when they get to DC that promptly stops their Patriotism in its tracks....?

 

Are they told --

here's what's goin' on, been goin' on a while, you can't stop it, it's inevitable,  

the masses are too ignorant to deal with it and you can't help them now,

it's coming so get used to it and play ball or else...?

 

It's for everybodys own good --- heil hitlah !

Although it is a rather long read, my link below should answer both of the above questions.

One of 'OlSarge's favorite topics over drinks during our Martini Hours.  

 

He hated these evil bastards, and was well-read and up to speed on how they spread their cancerous evil the world over.

So we, too, are not strangers to the strangle-hold they have on Our Republic.

 

Now our problem is how to rid ourselves of this scourge.

 

We do not do business with banks for one,

 

do not support donate to nor volunteer for their fake charities, orgs and foundations,

 

We carefully scrutinize candidates before voting.

 

We take an interest in where their tentacles have permeated and act accordingly to block their over-reach and keep their boot off our necks.

 

Lamentably, they ARE our IRS and our current kangaroo court system not to mention FED, so it can be tough.  

 

But we are Patriots and resist as best we can for two little old ladies with a grudge against 'em and an axe to grind.    

 

GOD BLESS AMERICA you bastards... you're out-gunned by Faith & Truth and we're comin' for ya !

Some great conversation going on here flatdawg and Gals. it is much

appreciated for the sake of truth and what is right. 

 

Unfortunately, most cannot understand how this scourge came into being

nor are they willing to go down the path to find out. It is easier to offer

excuses and *wink* at the destructive path that they have left behind.

 

SargesGals, I am not surprised that you actually understand how destructive

these criminlas have been and are today. The level of infiltration into most

of our processes here in the US is truly stunning, yet they have some of

the highest level of protections right within Washington, because this group

IS there and have been for many decades. We were invaded, and how it was

pulled off was brilliant along with the methods that are still used today to

squelch any investigations into the crimes.

 

Some of the answers are truly right in front of our eyes, yet due to blindness

and religious indoctrination, most simply cannot consider the depth of it. The

agenda went full force on 9/11, and to this day the majority refuse to even

consider the steps leading up to it. These same steps are going on today, we

see the same path of destruction, and the same players most make excuses for.

 

One may also want to research the time frames of 1871 to 1913 to help assemble

the pieces, and the foundation that was laid to allow for the intrusion into our affairs.

Fascinating how many still to this day will both deny and fight the facts with excuses.
