Only Jim Tucker could pull back the veil of secrecy from the Bilderberg Group . . . Only AFP has the courage to publish this volume . . . and only YOU can make this book a smash success! $25.00
Now, in the pages of Bilderberg Diary, Jim Tucker lays out—for the first time—his entire remarkable history of covering Bilderberg (and its Trilateral and CFR allies), literally infiltrating Bilderberg meetings, procuring their private documents, and working relentlessly to shine the spotlight of public scrutiny on Bilderberg’s affairs. Tucker’s prose—first hand, folksy and colorful—will introduce you to the littleknown arena of the Bilderberg elite. This volume is a memorable and panoramic journey that will lay bare the realities behind modern-day international power politics in a way that you’ve never seen before.
And the book includes several representative lists of Bilderberg membership over the past several years, more than 80 fascinating on-the-spot photographs of the Bilderbergers in action and photo reproductions of actual Bilderberg documents secured by Tucker. Plus a fascinating Foreword by AFP correspondent Christopher Bollyn who’s accompanied Tucker on a number of his journeys abroad to cover Bilderberg.
There’s also an Afterword by Willis A. Carto, the man who first ordered Tucker to cover Bilderberg for The Spotlight newspaper, realizing what was happening behind closed doors at Bilderberg meetings was far more important—and sinister— than Bilderberg press releases were admitting. If you’ve ever heard the mass media claim that concerns about Bilderberg are “just some crazy conspiracy theory,” you’ll definitely think otherwise as you travel with Jim Tucker into the world of Bilderberg. Please respond today. Secure your first edition, hot-off-the-press copy of Jim Tucker’s Bilderberg Diary.

please DON'T MISS my new tour of NATO-NAZI connections linked to from the main index of bilderberg.org - did you know, for instance, that
http://www.bilderberg.org/skulbone.htm#hausser
"SS Oberstgruppenfuhrer Paul Hausser (seen here as an Obergruppenfuhrer while commanding the Das Reich Division in Russia, winter 1941) was unquestionably the ablest military commander in the Waffen SS. After the war he sought to re-establish the reputation of the SS and claimed that the foreign units of the SS were really
the precursors of the NATO army. Hausser's skull and cross bones 'totenkopf' is on his hat."

Hi all,
The BBC World Service are broadcasting a programme at 6.45 and 10.30 (GMT+1) tonight on the Bilderbergers as part of their Who Runs Our World? series. It features a rare interview with current Bilderberg chairman Viscount Etienne Davignon with his secret government hat on. Only of course this is not a secret government, is it? What was that Adolf Hitler said about the stupid press and public believing whopping big lies.
If you miss it the show will be available on the 'listen again' section of the BBCWS Who Runs Our World website for a short time.
Amongst the information missing from the show however will be the Bilderberg's seedy fascist SS origins - the originators of Bilderberg, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, was a Nazi SS officer before the war, a point which never seems to make it through to the mainstream press. And yet hardly insignificant.
The seamless link to freemasonry, through Andrew Palmer (Grand Master the Duke of Kent's personal assistant) who organised the last UK Bilderberg meeting at Turnberry, is also missing from this World Service examination which nevertheless promises to be a most interesting show. http://www.bilderberg.org/masons.htm#Bilderberg
Interesting even if it's for the opportunity to edit Etienne Davignon saying 'there is no global elite' into 'we are the global elite' or something similar. Bilderberg clearly is the richest and most influential private club in the world and they do have more wealth and power in that one meeting than any other forum - it is the central Caitalist nexus - a point which should not be allowed to just pass by - again.
Those that point out that this is effectively an invisible world government strategy conference, which discussed the need to invade Iran at the last meeting according to Danny Estulin's leaks, might soon be accused of 'behaviour not condusive to the public good', and be arrested and incarcerated indefinately.
If anyone can record it I would appreciate a copy since I cant use Real Player to record anything. http://jogin.com/weblog/archives/2004/02/29/real_obnoxious
Secretary General Martin Taylor was in the news recently taking over as High Priest of the church of Syngentia - a Genetic crop manipulation business forged from the merger of Novartis and AstraZeneca. What new life forms and new elitist civilisations can Martin be concocting in his new job - sorry, that's all covered by commercial confidentiality.
A final word - please do have a good look around a new bristol website - www.officialconfusion.com - put together my fellow Bristolian Adrian Connock. He takes a good look at the London bombings and there you'll find evidence aplenty that they were carried out by the same old Western mafia operating under the protection of the Secret State - not by four Asians from Leeds.
And for the final final word - do print this spiritual history feast out if you haven't already! But beware - it's a big file.

Inside the secretive Bilderberg Group
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4290944.stm
How much influence do private networks of the rich and powerful have on
government policies and international relations? One group, the
Bilderberg, has often attracted speculation that it forms a shadowy
global government. As part of the BBC's Who Runs Your World? series,
Bill Hayton tries to find out more.
The chairman of the secretive - he prefers the word private - Bilderberg
Group is 73-year-old Viscount Etienne Davignon, corporate director and
former European Commissioner.
In his office, on a private floor above the Brussels office of the Suez
conglomerate lined with political cartoons of himself, he told me what
he thought of allegations that Bilderberg is a global conspiracy
secretly ruling the world.
"It is unavoidable and it doesn't matter," he says. "There will always
be people who believe in conspiracies but things happen in a much more
incoherent fashion."
Lack of publicity
In an extremely rare interview, he played down the importance of
Bilderberg in setting the international agenda. "What can come out of
our meetings is that it is wrong not to try to deal with a problem. But
a real consensus, an action plan containing points 1, 2 and 3? The
answer is no. People are much too sensible to believe they can do that."
Every year since 1954, a small network of rich and powerful people have
held a discussion meeting about the state of the trans-Atlantic alliance
and the problems facing Europe and the US.
Organised by a steering committee of two people from each of about 18
countries, the Bilderberg Group (named after the Dutch hotel in which it
held its first meeting) brings together about 120 leading business
people and politicians.
At this year's meeting in Germany, the audience included the heads of
the World Bank and European Central Bank, Chairmen or Chief Executives
from Nokia, BP, Unilever, DaimlerChrysler and Pepsi - among other
multi-national corporations, editors from five major newspapers, members
of parliament, ministers, European commissioners, the crown prince of
Belgium and the queen of the Netherlands.
"I don't think (we are) a global ruling class because I don't think a
global ruling class exists. I simply think it's people who have
influence interested to speak to other people who have influence,"
Viscount Davignon says.
"Bilderberg does not try to reach conclusions - it does not try to say
'what we should do'. Everyone goes away with their own feeling and that
allows the debate to be completely open, quite frank - and to see what
the differences are.
For Bilderberg's critics the fact that there is almost no publicity
about the annual meetings is proof that they are up to no good. Jim
Tucker, editor of a right-wing newspaper, the American Free Press for
example, alleges they organise wars and elect and depose political
leaders. He describes the group as simply 'evil'. So where does the
truth lie?
Professor Kees van der Pijl of Sussex University in Britain says such
private networks of corporate and political leaders play an informal but
crucial role in the modern world.
"There need to be places where these people can think about the main
challenges ahead, co-ordinate where policies should be going, and find
out where there could be a consensus."
'Common sense'
Will Hutton, an economic analyst and former newspaper editor who
attended a Bilderberg meeting in 1997, says people take part in these
networks in order to influence the way the world works, to create what
he calls "the international common sense" about policy.
"On every issue that might influence your business you will hear at
first-hand the people who are actually making those decisions and you
will play a part in helping them to make those decisions and formulating
the common sense," he says.
And that "common sense" is one which supports the interests of
Bilderberg's main participants - in particular free trade. Viscount
Davignon says that at the annual meetings, "automatically around the
table you have internationalists" - people who support the work of the
World Trade Organisation, trans-Atlantic co-operation and European
integration.
Bilderberg meetings often feature future political leaders shortly
before they become household names. Bill Clinton went in 1991 while
still governor of Arkansas, Tony Blair was there two years later while
still an opposition MP. All the recent presidents of the European
Commission attended Bilderberg meetings before they were appointed.
'Secret Government'
This has led to accusations that the group pushes its favoured
politicians into high office. But Viscount Davignon says his steering
committee are simply excellent talent spotters. The steering committee
"does its best assessment of who are the bright new boys or girls in the
beginning phase of their career who would like to get known."
"It's not a total accident, but it's not a forecast and if they go
places it's not because of Bilderberg, it's because of themselves,"
Viscount Davignon says.
But its critics say Bilderberg's selection process gives an extra boost
to aspiring politicians whose views are friendly to big business. None
of this, however, is easy to prove - or disprove.
Observers like Will Hutton argue that such private networks have both
good and bad sides. They are unaccountable to voters but, at the same
time, they do keep the international system functioning. And there are
limits to their power - a point which Bilderberg chairman was keen to
stress, "When people say this is a secret government of the world I say
that if we were a secret government of the world we should be bloody
ashamed of ourselves."
Informal and private networks like Bilderberg have helped to oil the
wheels of global politics and globalisation for the past half a century.
In the eyes of critics they have undermined democracy, but their
supporters believe they are crucial to modern democracy's success. And
so long as business and politics remain mutually dependent, they will
continue to thrive.
2. Cuddly Ken and his Crooked Cross
Bilderberg's main UK representative on the Steering committee Kenneth Clarke is said to be neck and neck with David Davies in the race to become the new leader of the Conservative party. It's the third time Ken has gone for the job but he must be hoping and praying that his deep and central involvement with the Western World's most powerful secret political forum will not be revealed to either Tory MPs or to tory party members.
This particular skeleton in the closet has been responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands and, if we are to believe leaks from the 2002 Bilderberg meeting, around 150,000 Iraqis. How many thousands of metric tonnes of bones is that to squeeze into your cupboard Mr Clarke? Hopefully plenty enough to sink his election ship.
He knows he's popular with MP's so he will try to convince the party to adopt a similar system to Labour which greatly diminishes the power of individual party members to decide who leads them.
If he succeeds we will be in the insane position of having a Tory leader who is quite a bit to the left of the leader of the Labour party. As the old definitions of left and right begin to decend into farce it might prompt us also to question Clarke's pivotal position in the Bilderberg, it's SS origins and the wisdom of backing a man who has been instrumental in deciding the policy of the Western World behind closed doors.
The cozy connection of this death-dealing Bilderberg club which Mr Clarke is so keen on to the swastika and the Nazi holocaust is something Tory pary people should closely consider before casting a vote, however diminished, for Ken.

Kenneth Clarke's work for British American Tobacco should disqualify him from office.
By George Monbiot. Published in the Guardian 23rd August 2005
http://www.monbiot.com/archives/2005/08/23/burnt-out/
If someone told you that the Conservatives would form the next government,
then asked you who you would like to see as their leader, what answer would
you give? I suspect that most Guardian readers would choose Kenneth Clarke.
Opposed to the invasion of Iraq, sympathetic to the European Union, liberal,
avuncular, Clarke is the obvious antidote to the swivel-eyed ideologues who
have run the party for much of the past 30 years. You were doubtless glad
to hear that he will declare his candidacy over the next few weeks and that,
if he joins forces with David Cameron, he could win.
There's just one small problem. To see him as a credible candidate, you must
forget what he has been doing for the past seven years. Since 1998, he has
been deputy chairman of British American Tobacco (BAT).(1) It seems to me
that this renders him unfit for public office.
Let us begin by examining BAT's contribution to public health. Smoking, according
to the World Health Organisation, "is currently responsible for the death
of one in ten adults worldwide half the people that smoke today -
that is about 650 million people - will eventually be killed by tobacco."(2) BAT sells one sixth of the world's cigarettes.(3) Were responsibility to
be divided according to market share, we could accuse it of causing the deaths
of 100 million people.
In the rich nations this is a declining problem. In the United States, smokers
have fallen to 22% of the adult population - the lowest rate since the second
world war.(4) In Australia, according to a study published last month, smoking,
on current trends, will be extinct by 2030.(5) So BAT's growth relies on
poorer nations: Turkey, Iraq, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and
Nigeria.(6) Last year its profits rose by 20%.(7)
There are two obstacles to its further expansion in developing countries.
The first is the international attempt, led by the World Health Organisation,
to help those countries resist the pressure to deregulate tobacco sales.
In 2002, the Guardian revealed that BAT had been paying a middleman up to
£250,000 a year to lobby countries to reject international attempts
to put stronger health warnings on cigarette packs, reduce the levels of
tar and nicotine in cigarettes and increase tobacco taxes.(8) On Sunday,
the Observer revealed that Kenneth Clarke attended a meeting in Geneva in
1999, at which BAT discussed with its competitors how they might resist the
advertising bans proposed in a draft international treaty.(9)
The second is the attempt by national governments to discourage smoking,
in particular by imposing taxes on cigarettes. Over the past five years,
BAT documents have been uncovered which appear to implicate the company in
smuggling.
At first it looked as if BAT's involvement was indirect. The papers discovered
in the company's archives by the International Consortium of Investigative
Journalists suggested that it supplied cigarettes to wholesalers in the
expectation that they would find their way onto the black market.(10) In
some countries, they indicate, it knowingly advertised the smuggled brands.(11)
But in 2001 the journalists discovered a series of letters which suggested
that BAT subsidiaries were organising smuggling operations. One set of papers
shows that cigarettes were dispatched to BAT's agents on the Caribbean island
of Aruba, then shipped by BAT's exclusive distributors to the South American mainland, then smuggled by middlemen into Venezuela and Colombia.(12) Until
1997, proceeds from this operation appear to have been collected by a BAT
branch based in Surrey.(13) After that they were channelled into a subsidiary
based in Geneva. By 1998, the year in which Clarke joined the company, the
documents suggest that 8 billion BAT cigarettes a year were leaving Aruba, harvesting an annual $200m for the Geneva operation.(14)
When the first smuggling allegations were published, in early 2000, Clarke
responded that "British American Tobacco is a good corporate citizen which
maintains high ethical standards. We reject allegations that we have "condoned
tax evasion and exploited smuggling"."(15) But he went on to admit that
"businesses such as ours who are engaged in international trade are faced
with a dilemma. ... we act, completely within the law, on the basis that
our brands will be available alongside those of our competitors in the smuggled
as well as the legitimate market."(16)
He told the House of Commons health committee that BAT "is a company of
integrity. It is an extremely good corporate citizen." Claims that it was
organising smuggling, he stated, were "quite unfounded We do not,
and we would not, and we would stop any of our employees doing it."(17) He
later admitted that he did not "have any detailed knowledge of the day to
day activities" of the Geneva office.(18) He remains vulnerable to the charge
that he misled the Commons.(19)
BAT's relationships with its suppliers bear certain resemblances to its
relationships with its consumers. Christian Aid has published two reports
detailing the company's treatment of tobacco farmers in Brazil and Kenya.(20)
The farmers are tied to contracts obliging them to buy their chemicals, seed
and equipment from BAT's subsidiaries. The company also determines the price
it gives them for the tobacco they produce, and is widely accused of paying
far less than the market rate. The result is that many farmers end up owing
the company more money than they receive. Partly because of this, some are
obliged to employ their children in the fields. Many of the farmers contracted
to the company, lacking proper protective clothing, suffer from pesticide-related
diseases. A fax from BAT Kenya's regional director reveals that a Kenyan
law forbidding farmers to grow tobacco for more than one company (and therefore
to seek higher prices) "was actually drafted by us."(21) In Brazil, Christian
Aid reveals, BAT's subsidiary was claiming, on the tobacco growers' behalf,
the government credit intended for small farmers.(22)
Such behaviour, Christian Aid alleges, is whitewashed by BAT's corporate
social responsibility programme. The man in charge of it is Kenneth Clarke.
He was the director who helped to broker the deal with Nottingham University
establishing a centre for corporate social responsibility, sponsored by the
company.(23) BAT was one of the last British-based multinationals to leave Burma: it did so, in 2003, only after a sustained public campaign and a direct
request from the British government. It remains one of the largest foreign
investors in Uzbekistan.(24)
These are the activities which, for the past seven years, Kenneth Clarke,
wittingly or otherwise, has assisted. We should remember that he has previously
held the posts of health secretary - responsible for reducing the impacts
of smoking; home secretary - responsible for upholding the law; and Chancellor
of the Exchequer - responsible for ensuring that Customs and Excise is not
cheated of its revenues.
I am not suggesting that Clarke has knowingly engaged in illegal activities,
or has done anything to offend current criminal law. But it seems to me that
in a fair world - a world in which human life was valued by our legislators
- he would not now be contemplating the leadership of Her Majesty's Opposition.
He would be behind bars.

3. Revealing the New Paragigm - Ganser, Tarpley & Henshall
The books by these three chaps appear to have re-defined the so-called 'Special Relationship' by all coming up with cracking good post 9/11 books from either side of the Atlantic.
Princeton University historian Webster Tarpley's book '911 Synthetic Terror Made in USA' picks apart the evidence that state terrorism and killing of innocent civillians is rather more likely than we might prefer to believe. He also examines the Nihilism of the NeoConservative guru Leo Strauss in some depth.
Tracing the roots of this fascist element in Western Intelligence agencies back has been the task of Swiss scholar Daniele Ganser in his recent nuclear bomshell of a book 'NATO's Secret armies' (see below).
Tarpley and Henshall pick 911 apart like forensic scientists - or prosecuting lawyers in the court of public opinion. Both books are simply essential reading in the post-modern mainstream media, post 'war on terror' world of smoke, mirrors, and murder of innocent civillians by the secret state.

NATO’s secret armies linked to terrorism
by Daniele Ganser
http://www.bilderberg.org/2004.htm#gladio
In Italy, on 3 August 1990, then-prime minister Giulio Andreotti confirmed
the existence of a secret army code-named “Gladio” - the Latin
word for “sword” - within the state. His testimony before the Senate
subcommittee investigating terrorism in Italy sent shockwaves through the
Italian parliament and the public, as speculation arose that the secret army
had possibly manipulated Italian politics through acts of terrorism.
Andreotti revealed that the secret Gladio army had been hidden within the
Defense Ministry as a subsection of the military secret service, SISMI. General
Vito Miceli, a former director of the Italian military secret service, could
hardly believe that Andreotti had lifted the secret, and protested:
"I have gone to prison because I did not want to reveal the existence of
this super secret organization. And now Andreotti comes along and tells it
to parliament!"
According to a document compiled by the Italian military secret service in
1959, the secret armies had a two-fold strategic purpose: firstly, to operate
as a so-called “stay-behind” group in the case of a Soviet invasion
and to carry out a guerrilla war in occupied territories; secondly, to carry
out domestic operations in case of “emergency situations”.
The military secret services’ perceptions of what constituted an
“emergency” was well defined in Cold War Italy and focused on the
increasing strength of the Italian Communist and the Socialist parties, both
of which were tasked with weakening NATO “from within”. Felice
Casson, an Italian judge who during his investigations into right-wing terrorism
had first discovered the secret Gladio army and had forced Andreotti to take
a stand, found that the secret army had linked up with right-wing terrorists
in order to confront “emergency situations”. The terrorists, supplied
by the secret army, carried out bomb attacks in public places, blamed them
on the Italian left, and were thereafter protected from prosecution by the
military secret service. "You had to attack civilians, the people, women,
children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political
game,” right-wing terrorist Vincezo Vinciguerra explained the so-called
“strategy of tension” to Casson.
“The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people,
the Italian public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security. This
is the political logic that lies behind all the massacres and the bombings
which remain unpunished, because the state cannot convict itself or declare
itself responsible for what happened."
No comment from NATO or the CIA
How strongly NATO and US intelligence backed and supported the use of terror
in Italy in order to discredit the political left during the Cold War remains
subject of ongoing research. General Gerardo Serravalle, who had commanded
the Italian Gladio secret army from 1971 to 1974, confirmed that the secret
army “could pass from a defensive, post-invasion logic, to one of attack,
of civil war”....................

Haroon Aswat…FBI agent threatens former USDA federal agent, now staff reporter for The New Criminologist.
Published on 25 September 2005 | Author BERRY-DEE, Christopher.
Haroon Aswat – the man British Police believe was behind the London bombings – was working for MI6, it has been confirmed by leading U.S. and French intelligence asset/agents.
Now an FBI agent in Seattle – name removed for security reasons, but can be published at the drop of a hat – has demanded that former USDA federal agent, Dr Janette Parker, stop talking to the British media about how the FBI obstructed their own top terrorism investigator, John O’Neill in his enquiries.
Dr Parker, who worked alongside O’Neill, although not in an official capacity’ is fearful of her life.
“Janet is a highly-professional and honest person. She is very brave,” says Christopher Berry-Dee, publisher of TNC. “But, now the cat is out of the bag, and we have ensured that she will be protected by circulating her information to leading British newspapers and the media.”
Dr Parker writes: “The American press can be silenced but not the British press. MI-5 and MI-6 and not happy about the intelligence failure on the American side of the Atlantic, especially withholding information about Haroon Aswat’s intention for additional bombings and his fund raising in Seattle area in March 2002 (after 911).”
Haroon Aswat is the primary suspect as the mastermind of the London Bombings 7/7. The FBI can assert that Haroon was not in Seattle on March 6, 2002, but British intelligence had him under close surveillance and they know whether he was in England or not.........

Trapped in New Orleans
By LARRY BRADSHAW
and LORRIE BETH SLONSKY
Two days after Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, the Walgreens store at the corner of Royal and Iberville Streets in the city's historic French Quarter remained locked. The dairy display case was clearly visible through the widows. It was now 48 hours without electricity, running water, plumbing, and the milk, yogurt, and cheeses were beginning to spoil in the 90-degree heat.
The owners and managers had locked up the food, water, pampers and prescriptions, and fled the city. Outside Walgreens' windows, residents and tourists grew increasingly thirsty and hungry. The much-promised federal, state and local aid never materialized, and the windows at Walgreens gave way to the looters.
There was an alternative. The cops could have broken one small window and distributed the nuts, fruit juices and bottled water in an organized and systematic manner. But they did not. Instead, they spent hours playing cat and mouse, temporarily chasing away the looters.
We were finally airlifted out of New Orleans two days ago and arrived home on Saturday. We have yet to see any of the TV coverage or look at a newspaper. We are willing to guess that there were no video images or front-page pictures of European or affluent white tourists looting the Walgreens in the French Quarter............

Destination Cairo: human rights fears over CIA flights
Snatched suspects tell of torture, UN investigator to look at British role
Ian Cobain, Stephen Grey and Richard Norton-Taylor
Monday September 12, 2005 - The Guardian
http://www.guardian.co.uk/humanrights/story/0,7369,1567896,00.html
It was only a matter of time before the CIA caught up with Saad Iqbal Madni.
A Pakistani Islamist and, allegedly, a close associate of Richard Reid, the
shoe bomber, he turned up in Indonesia in November 2001, just as the Taliban
regime was crumbling and members of al-Qaida were fleeing Afghanistan. Renting
a room in a Jakarta boarding house, he told locals he had arrived to hand
over an inheritance to his late father's second wife.
On January 9 2002, Iqbal was seized by Indonesian intelligence agents. Two
days later, according to Indonesian officials, he was bundled aboard a Gulfstream
V executive jet which had flown into a military airfield in the city. Then,
without any extradition hearing or judicial process, he was flown to Cairo.
Iqbal, 24, had become the latest terrorism suspect to fall into a system
known in US intelligence circles as "extraordinary rendition" - the apprehension
of a suspect who is not placed on trial, or flown to Guantánamo, but
taken to a country where torture is common.
These suspects are denied legal representation, and their detention is concealed
from the International Committee of the Red Cross. The most common destination
is Egypt, but there is evidence of detainees also being flown to Jordan,
Morocco, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan and Syria.
Precise numbers are impossible to determine. A report on renditions published
by New York University school of law and the New York City Bar Association
suggests that around 150 people have been "rendered" in the last four years,
but that is only an estimate. A handful have emerged from what has been labelled
a secret gulag, and have given deeply disturbing accounts of horrific mistreatment.
Previous media reports have uncovered sketchy details of a British link to
CIA abduction operations, but the full extent of the UK's support can now
be revealed. Drawing on publicly available information from the US Federal
Aviation Administration, the Guardian has compiled a database of flight records
which shows the extent of British logistical support.
Aircraft involved in the operations have flown into the UK at least 210 times
since 9/11, an average of one flight a week. The 26-strong fleet run by the
CIA have used 19 British airports and RAF bases, including Heathrow, Gatwick,
Birmingham, Luton, Bournemouth and Belfast. The favourite destination is
Prestwick, which CIA aircraft have flown into and out from more than 75 times. Glasgow has seen 74 flights, and RAF Northolt 33.
The Gulfstream V on to which Iqbal was bundled and flown to Egypt, for example,
left Cairo on January 15 and headed for Scotland. After a brief stopover

Did July 7th bombs explode under trains?
by Adrian Connock and Tony Gosling
Victims of two of the three London tube explosions say the bombs went off under the trains. Their eyewitness accounts appear to contradict the theory that suicide bombers were responsible for killing 39 passengers on London's tube network that day.
The Guardian's Mark Honigsbaum spoke to several eye witnesses to the Edgware Road tube bomb on July 7th. He reported "an explosion this morning under the carriage of the train", and went on, "some passengers described how tiles, the covers on the floor of the train, suddenly flew up, raised up". Victims also told him the train "had been derailed by this explosion", again suggesting the bomb was under the carriage. A man caught by the blast was reported to have "very, very bad injuries to his legs".
Bruce Lait, injured by the Aldgate East tube bomb was interviewed on the 11th July by a reporter from the Cambridge Evening News. Mr Lait explained that as he was being led to safety, "The policeman said 'mind that hole, that's where the bomb was'. The metal was pushed upwards as if the bomb was underneath the train. They seem to think the bomb was left in a bag, but I don't remember anybody being where the bomb was, or any bag".
The 7th July bombs were followed, exactly two weeks later, by failed copycat attacks. This morning, exactly another two weeks on, London's commuters will be hoping the third cell that police warned of on Sunday, is not preparing to attack again.

Online Journal Contributing Writer
Editor's Note: Daniel Estulin and his family were expelled from the Soviet Union on March 23, 1980, for anti-Soviet activity. His father, a prominent scientist and a dissident, spent 3½ years in prison for seeking freedom of speech for his fellow citizens. Fearing for his life for his daring exposes of corruption, manipulation and power grabbing, Estulin has voluntarily exiled himself to Spain. His dramatic personal stories are a rare look behind the scenes at how the most powerful secret society in the world has tried to stop one of the most determined men in the world from discovering its secrets
June 25, 2005-For the longest time, the Club and I have been seeking each other's company, for the mutual disbenefit of our detractors. Although I conduct my investigation in the strictest of privacy, once per year, I come out of my shell to confront Bilderbergers on their terrain-a five star luxury hotel, the site of the annual secret gathering. In the summer 2004, I was off to Stresa, Italy.
To get to this sleepy resort town that lives at the expense of globs of sun burned elderly German tourists who cohabitate with linguistically impaired Britons, Scots and Irishmen, one must fly to Milan's Malpensa International Airport.
I am fond of Milan; I imagine in the hollow of the vowel that splits the M and the L, a miniature replica of the famed Cathedral, the dampness of its spring sunsets, and the echoes of the feet marking a staccato-like rhythm on its cobbled squares.
So I was happy to be there again, to trudge in the opposite direction of the departing tourists, unaware of the city's elegance and hidden splendours.
As I made my way through the airport terminal, my mind dreamily wondered to something I had read in the usually soiled and leafed through in-flight magazine-a peripheral article on the Novodevichy, or "New Maidens Convent" in English, the most revered cemetery in Moscow. The article shared the page space with a scantily dressed woman in a red dress, and a helpful list of addresses to not-to-be-missed sights from the Russian tourist board to such holy shrines as Lenin's mausoleum, the KGB headquarters at Lublianka, and GUM "the world's biggest shopping centre!"
Novodevichy! Some of Russia's most venerated writers and poets are buried there. Chekhov was one of the first to be buried in the cemetery in 1904 and Googol's remains were re-interred here from Danilov Monastery not long after. The 20th century writers Mayakovsky and Bulgakov are buried here, as are the much-celebrated theatrical directors and founders of the Moscow Art Theatre, Nemirovich-Danchenko and Stanislavsky.
I thought of the utter unpredictability of the future and the past as not a rigid succession but a storehouse of remembered images and concealed patterns that contain the key to the mysterious designs of our lives.
In my imagination, I hovered over Googol's tomb that is symbolically linked with that of another famous writer, Bulgakov, author of "The Master and Margarita." When moved to Novodevichy, Googol's tomb was changed. A part of the original tomb was used in the new tomb. The remaining original stone was stored for years until Bulgakov's wife saw it and chose to incorporate it into her husband's tomb, only later discovering that it was part of Googol's first tomb.
Beauty and lightness on the one hand; philosophical meditation on the other . . .
"Buonasera. Would you please come with us, sir?" A sharp, piercing voice quickly dispersed those meretricious musings that had meandered so aimlessly, yet blissfully within the confines of my imagination.
I looked up.
He was coming towards me, garbed in a raincoat, which struck me as rather odd considering the sky was Mediterranean blue, a shiny automatic weapon slung across his shoulders.
Like a host of a freak show who surrounds himself with hunchbacks, dwarfs and singing 2m tall albinos, this insignificant man, who might well have fitted terrifically into a masquerade ball, came into my personal space, clicked his heels, put his index and middle fingers to his temple and presented himself.
"I am Detective so and o," he announced in a perfect iambic tetrameter. "Would you please come with us?"
The feeling of prearranged tragedy, or more precisely, the shadow, tragically imposed in my contra reminded me of the perilous ways in which I chose to make my living.
Detective and I, flanked by two local guards and a narcotics officer with a Doberman passed into a tiny detention room where small time hoodlums and big time criminals are whisked to by burly security guards and custom's officers in hopes of marvelous retribution from the arch-rival Nemesis; it could scarcely accommodate a rather absurdly wide desk, and next to it a little low table bearing a lamp.
Everything seemed uncannily quiet. One heard the wind against the glass, the machine-gun bursting sounds of weeping next door followed by rhythmic whimpering, the heavy footsteps across the hallway.
"You may take off your coat," said one of the guards jerking his head in the direction of a coat rack. I mechanically unzipped my windbreaker.
Looking back at what transpired, I am ashamed to recall the way I let them corner me, box me in, intimidate me initially, the anxiety I felt.
Straining to reach up, I hung my windbreaker, but it broke loose, taking down two other coats and a plaid jacket with it. The four objects hit the floor with an awkward thud.
"Lei come si chiama? [What is your name?]" I gave him my name. "What is your nationality?" I told him. Di che parte di Canada é lei? [What part of Canada are you from?] Lei dove abita? [Where do you live?] Qual é il suo numero di telefono? [What is your telephone number?] "Where are you flying from?" Éla prima volta che viene in Italia? [Is this your first visit to Italy?] Over the years of covering Bilderbergers, I learned how to nimbly avoid unnecessary confrontation with bullish border guards and trigger-happy policemen. I knew of several journalists turned back at the border for poking their fingers in the eye of the authority.
"We would like to examine your suitcase. We have reason to believe you may be transporting drugs," said the detective.
"If you have drugs, you better tell us before we open up your bag," joined in a narcotics officer.
I wasn't so much worried about the drugs, as I don't do drugs, don't smoke them, and much less transport them internationally in a suitcase.
However, I was covering Bilderberg´s annual meeting, my name was known internationally by all divisions of the secret service, from Mossad to the KGB, MI6 and the CIA. Each reporter covering these annual secret meetings is photographed, his personal details taken and the information passed through the Rockefeller-controlled Interpol to all international protection agencies.
It wouldn't be the first time that someone tried to compromise my security. In Toronto, in 1996, an undercover agent tried to sell me a stolen gun. During the 1999 meeting in Sintra, someone had sent a woman up to my hotel room, programmed through hypnosis and brainwashing techniques to undress herself in my room and to throw herself out the window, after receiving a certain telephone call, hoping to entrap me into a first degree murder conviction. Luckily for all, I refused her come ons. Don't ask me how I knew. One of the tools of the trade you develop in following Bilderbergers around is the sixth sense. Strange car sounds, repetitive noises, people's faces that somehow look familiar, friendly nobodies offering a helping hand . . . you just learn to be overly careful. There was something out of the ordinary in that woman's behaviour. Too eager, too forced. Body language that didn't coincide with the verbal language. I think that's it! What caught my attention was an apparent lack of co-ordination between her body and her speech. When I heard the knock on the door, I thought it was room service bringing up my order of chicken with cashews and apple strudel that I had ordered for dinner. Imagine my surprise, when upon opening the door I found myself standing in front of a scantly clad woman with a perfectly sculptured body, long black curly hair and green eyes.
Could someone have snuck drugs into my suitcase? When covering Bilderberg, I take all the necessary precautions. No check ins. Only carry-on luggage. The bag never leaves my sight. Flying back from Scotland in 1998, [Translation: one of my more successful Bilderberg penetration efforts. Jim Tucker of the American Free Press and I broke the story of Bilderberg´s plans for war in Kosovo by way of first, creating hostilities between Greece and Turkey on Cyprus which they could then push back into the Balkans.] I got a nagging feeling that someone might have handled my bag. I left it at the airport with all my clothes and momentos from the Turnberry conference.
Moving over to one side of the room, I found myself at a shade end of the long desk.
The next moment, the detective who sat quite still on the edge of the bench, keenly observing my every move, his hands resting on the barrel of his gun, stood up and with the point of his boot turned back a corner of the thick doormat that was ruffled by a Doberman.
One of the guards disappeared into my bag. All I could see were the sharp angles of his elbows moving to and fro.
My heart was heavy. No matter how much I rummaged within myself, I failed to find one crumb of joy. The best I hoped for was to be put back on the plane and sent packing. "Bilderberg paradise lost" was to be the headline in P.´s next issue.
Suddenly the guard looked up, gave a cry, half turned toward me in incertitude mixed with curiosity, and pulled a thin and well-worn volume of Fet [great Russian author of the XIX century] in Russian out of the bag.
As if on cue, everybody started talking at once.
A youngish bespectacled guard, who fetched my Fet, immediately announced that he had been to Russia and knew some Russian, for instance, borsch (beet soup), raduga (rainbow) and privet (hello). At least, the guard's attitude towards me had changed dramatically.
Out of the deepest recesses of his memory, he tried (in vain) to attach the proverbial unattachable limbs into a coherent sentence. I found it impossible to understand what he was talking about. I listened dutifully, with half-opened mouth: his knowledge of Russian reminded one of the vastnesses of Russian stepa, a word, a home, that island of hope amongst the enormity of emptiness. The sheer process of trying to understand my docile language caused me pain.
The detective, having approached the guard, sat down close to me (I was still standing, leaning forlornly against a wall) that I felt his disagreeable warmth, put a peppermint into his mouth and took the book out of the guard's hands.
He passed his fingers across the spine of my book. The man opened a little volume of Fet and began to rummage through the pages. Like most people who read little, his head moved in rhythm with his lips across the page.
Taking advantage of the lull in the conversation, I made a detailed study of the man: corpulent, swarthy, none too young, sharp-tipped nose, sleekly parted hair, jutting eyelids and badly bitten fingernails.
In the next room, someone was roaring with laughter. A chair violently slid across the floor in the room across the hall. The man (with the Doberman) clad in tight, narrow trousers on his spindly legs was motioning to the guard, but the words were drowned out by the combined roar of mingling voices.
The door, whose existence I totally neglected, suddenly thrust open. A plaincloths man (with a gun) stepped in. He saw him first, uttered a cry, his hands up, all 10 fingers dancing. He and the detective (who by now got tired of leafing through my volume of Fet. It had no pictures) greeted each other lustily, trying to crowd into a handshake and backslap as much fervour as was possible.
A brief conversation ensued. By now, a detective and a plaincloths man were huddled with the two guards and an overly passive narcotics officer. The Doberman was asleep on the mat.
Out of the conversation, conducted in a hushed tone, itself a monumental success for any Italian, I could make out isolated bits of phrases: Cosa vuol dire . . . ? [¿Qué quiere decir . . . ?], Non capisco nulla. [No entiendo nada!], Che cerca [A quién busca?].
After a brief exchange, everybody got comfortable. The detective put himself in front of me, the guards took their place at the door and the narcotics cop sat himself on the desk. The plaincloths man leaned against the wall.
"Let me see, where do I know you from?" he began. The detective's velvety tone added a sense of drama to a play whose badly sketched out characters have long outlived their possible usefulness.
Dove siete alloggiati? [Where are you staying?] He asked me for my plane tickets and a hotel reservation. I produced both, crumpled beyond recognition by a habitual chaos of my handbag.
"What possible reason would you have to come to Stresa at this time of the year?" He weighed every word on the scales of the most exact common sense. I said nothing. By now, my nerves were unusually receptive after a restless hour of interrogation.
Mechanically, I reached for my Fet, presently, my only source of warmth and reassurance. I was immediately requested (by the detective) to put the book aside and to pay close attention.
The detective produced a photograph out of the red folder he was now holding in his right hand. I could hardly believe it. Staring at me was a copy of my own hideous black-and-white Spanish national identity photograph.
"What business do you have to attend to in Stresa," he repeated in perfect English. I was found out. There could be no mistake about it. Someone in the Spanish Ministry of the Interior had provided the Italian security forces with my photo. The Italians knew why I was coming and were waiting for me. What's worse, the Spanish Ministry of the Interior was cooperating with the Bilderbergers to stop my investigation. Who might it have been? How did they know where to expect me? Did the airline voluntarily offer my confidential information to the Italians? At whose request? What did they get in return?
I stared intensely at a piece of tinfoil that sparkled on the floor.
Suddenly, I understood something I had been seeing without understanding-why they stopped me, why they questioned me, why they made me lose time. They couldn't retain me, for I had done nothing. Nor could they let me go, for they were told to keep me at bay. The border guard, unwittingly, formed part of the Bilderberg invisible machinery.
I stood up. "Gentlemen, I said, "you have two choices. Either you arrest me and charge me with a crime or you let me go. The masquerade is over. You know why I am here and I know that you know that I know your game plan."
I looked at the configuration left by a shadow of a piece of tinfoil that sparkled on the floor. Sick of it all, angry at them, at me, at the world, for not knowing, not wanting to know and not caring, I tried to squeeze this entirely insignificant object into the orderly existence of the moment.
Another brief consultation followed amongst the five. But now, I knew, that within a few minutes, I'd be driven by a waiting car to the shores of Lake Maggiori, to Stresa and to Bilderberg´s annual conference; to a reunion with a group of fearless hound dogs, my friends, all of whom, against all odds had made their way to this sleepy little town, people who have put up with unimaginable hardships to expose Bilderberg´s master plan for Global Government and One World Order.
"You are free to go, Mr Estulin," said the detective. "But do remember, we know where to find you. You are in Italy. Should you get into any trouble, you will be jailed. That I promise you."
I picked up my bag. Stuffed my Fet into one of the side pockets. "Da svidania, daragoy." [Good bye, friend] The guard's face lit up momentarily. He looked askance at the detective. But I didn't see him. At last, I was free.
As I made my way through the airport terminal, I thought of the fickleness of chance and the demands of a friendship. Again and again, danger and death appeared in the margins of my life without influencing in the bit the main lines of the text.
A lanky blond young man in oriental garb with a bandaged up nose entered a café. Nearby, a waiter was wiping the slabs of tables with a wet cloth.
In a souvenir shop window, a dejected poster announced a premier of a visiting circus, one corner of its ruffled paper torn off, a dead fly on the window sill.
I stepped out on to the street. The windless air was warm, laden with a faint tang of gasoline.
A man with a local newspaper sat down on the bench in front of me. For some inexplicable reason, he took off his shoes and his socks.
Qual é il prezzo a Stresa? [How much does it cost to get to Stresa?] Possono portarmi il bagaglio? [¿Puede Ud. llevar mi maleta?]
The cab driver with a massive, strong nose obliged. He briefly rose to remove his own squashed hat from under him and loaded up my belongings into the Mercedes Benz.
I love the process of settling into viatic quarters-the comfortable leather seat, the anticipation of new discoveries, and the slow passage of the airport's receding lights.
The cab driver with a deadish little face, who as I privately noted, judging by the shape of his nose, was never one to turn down a drink, struck up a conversation. He told me about his son-in-law who had a job with some overly optimistic insurance firm in Rome. On the dashboard, I saw a soiled photograph of a corpulent, elderly woman with short red-hair, half reclined with closed eyes. The cab driver's wife. He complained of being poor, having to work too many hours and not seeing enough of his family.
This was the pattern of his life-a life that made little sense-the meagre, vapid existence of a third generation Napolitano émigré.
In some unknown compartment of my being, I could hear rambling sounds of his musings, but I, having suddenly forgotten about him, passed into another world, my private world of all that is dear to me . . .
To write, someone said, is not to be absent but to become absent; to be someone and then go away, leaving traces.
C., my love and my life. You are my heaven and hell, you could only be both. You are my happiness, my whole life, but also the clash of languages, because language, even the most brilliant language is a kind of shortfall of reason, the moan which awaits even the most perfect bliss, not because our happiness is doomed, or because fate is unkind, but because happiness is intelligible only under threat; intelligible only as its own threat.
I tried to concentrate on what was awaiting me in Stresa. Twenty-two hour working days, phone calls to check information from sources, being continuously followed by the secret service, threats, unauthorised searches, meetings and more meetings with those few valiant souls, braving the threats of Bilderbergers to give us precious details of their diabolical plans. But I simply couldn't get my mind around it. Incoherent images of moral horror ghost-danced in my head. Total Enslavement. Men-made famines that swept millions to their grave. Suffering, more suffering. Unspeakable, inhuman sacrifice. Why? Why? Is it really possible that someone might want to inflict so much pain on the world for personal gain? As I struggled to hold back tears, I kept reminding myself that my quest for the truth was a revendication of decency at the expense of cruelty.
I kept thinking of a happy ending to the yet-to-be-written tale about paradise lost-our damage-strewn world. What would it mean to lose happiness forever? Paradise and its loss are integral to each other. Not only that the true paradises are lost paradises but that there is no paradise without loss, it isn't paradise if you can't lose it.
Bilderberg, of course, is a metaphor for fear, an image of the insanity of it all. Beneath it all, there is an understanding, of course, that time and space, like love and like death, alters us and affirms us, clings to us and explores us; that it involves the irrevocable, and makes us who we are.
What is Time, if not a brutal passage and decay, and a form of awareness, a birth of consciousness that knows itself to be temporal. And still less do I understand what is the purpose of fate bringing Bilderbergers and me constantly together.
Daniel Estulin is an award-winning investigative journalist who has been researching the Bilderbergers for over 13 years. Estulin was one of only two journalists in the world who witnessed and reported (from beyond the heavily guarded perimeter) the super secret meeting at the Dorint Sofitel Seehotel in Rottach-Egern, Munich, Bavaria, Germany, on May 5–8, 2005. He can be reached at d.estulin@ctconsultoria.com.
Simple summary of the arguments of the 9/11 truth movement and an easily readable summary of the evidence. This demands further a proper investigation into that day's events.
If you have not already please do get hold of the free ReOpen 911 DVD recorded in New York on 11th September 2004 via www.reopen911.org
Urgent action and awareness raising is necessary particularly because the 9/11 terrorists are still in positions of authority and may commit further acts of false flag terror from their positions of so-called impunity to provide an excuse to invade Iran. So please forward to police, newsrooms and anyone you feel may be interested.

June 7, 2005-Because of the near total blackout of this year's Bilderberg conference in the mass media, knowledge of what transpired behind the heavy guarded walls of Dorint Sofitel Seehotel Überfahrt in Rottach-Egern, Bavaria, Munich, Germany, May 5-8 is limited to the readers of Internet publications willing to challenge the veracity of the US mainstream media and the corrupt Bush administration.
The discussions Bilderberg participants engaged in, and the consensus they reached, will influence the course of Western civilization and the future of the entire planet. This meeting took place behind closed doors in total secrecy, protected by a phalanx of armed assassins.
And speaking of human nature, power corrupts. It corrupts those who wield it. And it corrupts those who seek to influence those who wield it. Media have long been part of the world of elites. The free press is a myth when powerful people own it. Only when many small people own it will it be a truly free press, and will on our "right to know" be possible.
In the Orwellian world of modern day journalism, where a new form of political correctness frames their every utterance, the language is contracting. Because the goal of totalitarian thought control is to make the expression of political incorrectness impossible, words are used, not to make debating points, but to end all discussion.
In Bilderberg politics, life is compressed into a small number of people who spend a short period of time in a circle with a stunted radius.
Someone asked how global taxation can be sold to the American public. One European commissioner suggested using the rhetoric of helping countries build peaceful, stable societies once conflict subsides as the battering ram. Someone asked for the timing of the appeal. Another former commissioner mentioned that the best time to ask for cash is once the conflict subsided and the world is subjected to brutal images of destruction. A Norwegian Bilderberger disagreed. What looked to be Bjorn T. Grydeland, Norwegian Ambassador to the European Union, said that on the contrary, it's much easier to get world attention and money for a region when a conflict rages.
So much was confirmed a posteriori when Denmark's Foreign Minister Per Stig Moller, during a recent debate in the United Nations, stated on the record that "If the international community is not able to act swiftly, the fragile peace is at risk, with loss of more lives as a consequence." Until July 1, 2005 Denmark holds the council presidency when it will be replaced by the British.
Bilderbergers are planning to use what they denominated as a UN Peacebuilding Commission apparently to help win the peace in post-conflict countries as one of the tools in secretly imposing the UN tax on an unsuspecting world population.
Jim Tucker said as much in his Bilderberg report in the American Free Press when he wrote, "There was some informal discussion of timing for a vote in the United Nations on establishing a direct global tax by imposing a 10-cents-a-barrel levy on oil at the well-head. This is important to the Bilderberg goal of establishing the UN as a formal world government. Such a direct tax on individuals is symbolically important. Bilderberg's global tax proposal has been pending before the UN for three years but the issue has been blacked out by the Bilderberg-controlled U.S. media."
Mark R. Warner, governor of Virginia and a first time Bilderberg invitee, expressed concern about how much additional financial responsibility the United States would take on as a result. At this point José M. Durao Barroso, president of the European Commission, expressed a view held by many within Bilderberg that the
United States does not provide a fair share of economic aid to poor countries. My sources confirm Jim Tucker´s report that "Kissinger and David Rockefeller, among other Americans, beamed and nodded approval." Although the United States pays more into the foreign aid piggy bank than any country in the world, the Bilderbergers and the United Nations are poised to demand much more funding from them to meet the peacebuilding proposal.
An American Bilderberger wondered what it would take for the oil prices to go back to $25 a barrel. Another American Bilderberger, believed to be Allan E. Hubbard, assistant to the president for Economic Policy, laconically stated that the general public does not realize that the price for cheap oil can be the bursting of the debt bubble. Cheap oil slows economic growth because it depresses commodity prices and reduces world liquidity. There is a strong indication, based on the information reported from the Bilderberg 2005 meeting in Rottach-Egern, that the Federal Reserve is extremely concerned about the debt bubble. An American Bilderberger reported that if the price of oil is to go down to its previous low of $25 a barrel, the debt-driven asset bubble will explode.
Martin S. Feldstein, president of National Bureau of Economic Research, added that $50 a barrel involves greater cash flow. According to publicly available information, the United States consumes daily approximately 20 million barrels of oil out of a total world consumption of 84 million barrels. At $50 a barrel, the aggregate oil bill for the US comes to $1 billion a day, $365 billion a year, about 3 percent of the 2004 US gross domestic product (GDP). About 60 percent of US consumption is imported at a cost of $600 million a day, or $219 billion a year.
A short, stout man asked if the surging oil price would influence economic growth. Someone sitting in the front row noted that higher energy prices do not take money out of the economy, they merely shift profit allocation from one business sector to another. An American Bilderberger wondered what an oil price increase can mean for the general public. A tall, skinny gentleman reportedly mused that expensive oil means reduced consumption in other sectors, unless higher income can be generated from the increased cash flow. A French Bilderberger noted that in western society, higher income translates into longer working hours, which often results in lower standard of living.
Someone raised a question about the impact of a sharp rise of energy prices on asset values. A German Bilderberger responded that the net effect is a de facto depreciation of money, misidentified as growth.
A US general noted that war spending helps jump start the economy, noting that the trick to keeping the opposition at bay is to limit collateral damage to foreign soil.
A British Bilderberger noted that oil at $120 a barrel will greatly benefit Britain and the US, but that Russia and China would be the biggest winners. An expert in International relations and policy studies noted that for the Chinese this would be a real bonanza. The Chinese import energy not for domestic consumption, but rather to fuel its growing cheap exports, a cost that would duly be passed on to foreign buyers. A European banker pointed out that Russia could effectively devalue the dollar by re-denominating its energy trade with Europe from dollars into euros, forcing Europe's central banks to rebalance their foreign exchange reserves in favour of the euro. Jean-Claude Trichet, governor of the European Central Bank was present during the debate.
An American Bilderberger inquired about the effect of $50 oil on the crisis in government pension insurance. High oil prices threaten the economic viability of airlines and motor vehicles sectors. The employees' pensions at US Airways were recently terminated by the bankruptcy court. United Airlines and others are on the list as well. An American Bilderberger noted that the US Social Security is going through its worst accounting crisis in years. The spectre was raised of companies defaulting on their financial obligations to the workers. Someone commented that government-run pension funds will not be able to shoulder an industry wide default on their obligations without a federal bailout.
Appearance at Bilderberg 2005 of a Nobel Peace Prize Committee Chairman Geir Lundestad is likely to mean, according to sources familiar with the discussion, a full-court press by the American, British and Israeli delegation on the Nobel committee in preventing an Israeli nuclear technician, Mordechai Vanunu, from winning the coveted award. Vanunu spent 18 years in an Israeli prison-11 and a half of them in solitary confinement-for providing evidence of Israel's nuclear arsenal to a British newspaper in 1986. Should Vanunu win the Nobel for Peace, it would bring uncomfortable attention to the Israeli nuclear arsenal, especially in the face of growing evidence that Israel and the United States are about to punish Iran for trying to develop their own nuclear weapons. Strong pressure was applied on Lundestad not to choose Hans Blix, UN weapons inspector in Iraq, nor Mohamed El Baradei, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, a man President Bush tried to remove for not being tough enough on Iran.
Some of this year's other nominees are George Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair for supposedly protecting world peace; the European Union; French President Jacques Chirac, former Czech President Vaclav Havel; Pope John Paul II; Cuban dissident Oswaldo Paya; and U.S. Senator Richard Lugar and former Senator Sam Nunn for their Cooperative Threat Reduction Program, which is intended to dismantle nuclear weapons left over from the Soviet Union.
One of the best kept secrets is the degree to which a handful of giant conglomerates all belonging to the secret Bilderberg Group, Council on Foreign Relations, NATO, the Club of Rome and the Trilateral Commission control the flow of information in the world and determine what we see on television, hear on the radio and read in newspapers, magazines, or books.
Bilderberg has, at one time or another, had representatives of all major US and European newspapers and network news outlets attend. The inadequately named international free press attends on their solemn promise to report nothing. This is how Bilderberg keeps its news blackout virtually complete in the United States and in Europe.
This year´s invitees included Nicolas Beytout, editor-in-chief, Figaro; Oscar Bronner, publisher and editor, Der Standard; Donald Graham, chairman of The Washington Post; Matthias Nass, deputy editor, Die Zeit; Norman Pearlstine, editor-in-chief, Time; Cuneyt Ulsevere, columnist for the Hurriyet; John Vinocur, senior correspondent, International Herald Tribune; Martin Wolf, associate editor, Financial Times; Fareed Zakaria, editor, Newsweek International; Klaus Zumwinkel, chairman, Deutsche Post; John Micklethwait, U.S. editor, The Economist and Adrian Wooldridge, foreign correspondent, The Economist. Micklethwait and Wooldridge acted as the meeting´s rapporteurs.
The discussion was led off with a series of rhetorical questions from the speaker. Is China really abusing its competitive advantage, or is it being victimized by the US and the EU? Is a trade war imminent? Should China revalue the yuan, (its currency), and if so, how should it do this?
An American Bilderberger noted that China in 2005 is one of the leading world economic powers whose actions influence the world economy. Another American believed to be, but not positively identified as, Michael A. Ledeen of the American Enterprise Institute said that if China doesn't revalue the yuan it would cause the entire world trade system to go out of whack. Someone mentioned that the current situation can be dangerous for the Chinese economy due to the creation of excess liquidity.
Elena Nemirovskaya, founder of the Moscow School of Political Studies, asked what would happen if the yuan was allowed to float freely. An economist responded that that could bring about serious consequences to the world's financial markets. China's foreign exchange reserves are to a large extent made up of US Treasury bills. An appreciation of the yuan would cause its dollar reserves to depreciate. A German Bilderberger pointed out that this could force the Federal Reserve to have to raise interest rates, thus causing the current housing boom in the US to come to a screeching halt.
An over-sized Dutchman pointed out that the International Monetary Fund needs to play an active role in helping the yuan.
"Is there a real danger, then" asked an Italian Bilderberger "of this dispute deteriorating into an all out trade war?" "Not likely," according to an unidentified blond from Northern Europe, believed to be a Swede, because China has totally integrated itself into the market economy." An American Bilderberger and a member of the US government noted that all the posturing is part of the act to keep the voters back home happy.
China's move into the Mekong region did not go unnoticed at the conference. William J. Luti, US Deputy Under Secretary of Defence for Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs, explained that China's rapid expansion into the Mekong region, comprising Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam could threaten US interests in the area. Such moves by China would give it an enhanced role in Southeast Asia. Over the last several years, China has invested heavily in transport infrastructure development linking China's southwestern Yunan Province and the Mekong region.
A European Bilderberger pointed out that China is heavily dependent on oil imports. Someone asked for a figure. A tall, lanky man with glasses, believed to be Jeroen van der Veer, chairman of Royal Dutch Shell, responded that some 40 percent of China´s supply is imported.
In fact, China´s move into the Mekong region is the result of acute awareness that the country´s energy supplies are vulnerable to interference. Overall, 32 percent of energy supplies, China´s lifeblood, pass through the narrow and easily blocked Strait of Malacca.
A French Bilderberger pointedly asked Henry Kissinger if the US government's sabre- rattling against Iran means the beginning of new hostilities. Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), asking for his turn to speak, dismissed the notion of an Iran invasion as unrealistic due to the sheer physical size of the country and its population size, not to mention billions involved in getting the operation off the ground. Up to the eyeballs in the Iraq quagmire, the United States military is wary of any new adventures in the hostile terrain against a much healthier enemy, both better prepared and organised. A Swiss Bilderberger asked if a hypothetical attack on Iran would involve a preemptive strike against its nuclear sites. Richard Haass replied that such an attack would prove to be counterproductive because Teheran's counterattack options could range from "unleashing terrorism and promoting instability in Iraq, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia, to triggering oil price increases that could trigger a global economic crisis".
During dinner, according to several sources, Richard Perle criticised Haass´ position and explained his opposition to his view.
A woman believed to be Heather Munroe-Blum, vice-chancellor of McGill University in Quebec, Canada, asked a rhetorical question about what would happen if Iran were to continue building its nuclear arsenal? Haass replied that in this case scenario, the United States would have no choice but to grant Iran the same status as it does to Pakistan and India.
A US general commented that the China-Iran-Russia alliance is changing the geopolitical situation in the area. Rapprochement between Russia and China is viewed by the Bilderbergers as a significant event not to be taken lightly, even though it has received little media attention in the west. A secret US government report was cited wherein, according to sources, the Chinese have spent upwards of several billion dollars in acquiring Russia's latest and most sophisticated weapons technology. Someone pointed out that the Sino-Russian alliance is not limited to military trade and that the non-military exchange of goods has grown 100 percent since the beginning of the Bush presidency. A delegate at the conference, believed to be, but not positively identified by the secret service sources, Anatoliy Sharansky, Israeli former minister for Jerusalem & Diaspora Affairs, stated categorically during a Friday night cocktail party that the counterweight to the Moscow-Beijing-Teheran axis is the US-Israeli-Turkey alliance.
A financial expert from a European nation intervened by stating that Russia financially is much better off today than four years ago because tax revenues, generated by fuel and arms production and exports as a result of heavy emphasis on military production, have financed strong growth of wages and pension incomes, boosting private consumption. A German Bilderberger pointedly asked Richard Perle if the "war on terrorism" will intensify over the second term of the Bush presidency.
The feeling of enough-is-enough wasn't limited to the European Bilderbergers wary of Bush's Hitler-like delirious proclamations of regime changes worldwide. Haass had pointedly told Richard Perle during a Saturday night cocktail party that the Bush administration has over-estimated its ability to change the world. Haass, according to several sources at the conference is reported to have stated that regime change can be attractive because it "is less distasteful than diplomacy and less dangerous than living with new nuclear states." However, he noted, "There is only one problem, it is highly unlikely to have the desired effect soon enough."
The presence of a top US general, James L. Jones, Supreme Allied Commander Europe, and retired US Army General John M. Keane at the Bilderberg meeting in Germany suggested to us that the next stage of the conquest is about to begin.
An American neocon at an afternoon drink-fest said he was convinced that the "Iranian opposition movement" will unseat the mullahs. Nicholas Beytout, editor-in chief of the French periodical Le Figaro, exclaimed "You don't really believe that!" A tall, bold, well-dressed Swiss gentleman, believed to be Pascal Couchepin, head of the powerful Department of Home Affairs, replied reflexively that it will only succeed in having the Iranians rally behind their government. He ended by saying "You don't know Iranians."
Tempers boiled over momentarily when a French Bilderberger raising his voice told Kissinger that "an attack on Iran will escalate out of control." According to sources working for the CIA and the special unit of the US Army charged with protecting the US delegation at Rottach-Egern, both the CIA and the FBI are in open revolt against the Bush White House.
A member of the Greek Parliament asked Eival Gilady, strategic adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon "What would happen if Iran were to retaliate?" Someone pointed out that even if the United States or Israel were to show restraint in their use of tactical nuclear weapons, an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities would surely not only engulf neighbour state,s raising the likelihood of a broader war, but also would succeed in creating a nuclear disaster through nuclear radiation spilling over a wide area. As a follow up question, someone asked, "How much of this war has to do with America doing its utmost to prevent Iran from becoming a regional power?"
A French Bilderberger wished to know if the impending attack on Iran would involve the United States and Israel working in tandem or "would it be a NATO operation?" The question was directed at NATO´s Secretary General Jaap G. de Hoop Scheffer. Another European Bilderberger wanted to know how the US was planning to cope with three wars simultaneously, referring to Iraq, Afghanistan and now Iran. The reader should be reminded that there are now 150,000 US troops deployed in Iraq who are unable to move to another theatre of operations because of effective resistance tactics.
The Israeli delegation was pressed to answer if they were prepared to use nuclear weapons against Iran. The answer was incoherent.
What is so terrifying about the Iran theatre of operations is that according to our deep sources, both of whom belong to the Bilderberg Group, there are two alternative dates set for the invasion. The earliest possible date would be the "deadest of summer" sometime in August and the other alternative is the late fall campaign. It substantially confirms the information provided by Scott Ritter, the ex-Marine turned UNSCOM weapons inspector, who stated that "George W. Bush has `signed off´ on plans to bomb Iran in June 2005." Ritter goes on to say that the June date suggests that the US and Israel are "in a state of readiness."
The discussion began with a European expert on international relations pointing out that over the next several years Russia is poised to assert itself and to increasingly challenge the Bush administration's foreign policy goals. Someone openly asked the committee if the world is safer today than in 2001 and will it be safer in four years time? A Dutchman responded by saying there is little doubt that the hand of international terrorism has been substantially strengthened by the US and its heavy-handed policy in the Middle East. A Danish Bilderberger wondered out loud what happened to the US promise to take a lower key approach in Iraq, referring to the heavy-handed tactics employed by the American troops in the siege of Fallujah, which played an important role in alienating a large cross-section of moderate Arab states. Additionally, pointed out the Dutchman, terrorism hasn't been confined to the Iraq theatre of operations, but has escalated across Asia, Africa and most of the Middle East.
A blond woman believed to be Thérèse Delpech, director for Strategic Affairs for the Atomic Energy Commission, said that unilateralist policy actions by the US will only succeed in alienating friendly nations and emboldening enemy combatants. "US is not all-powerful. It must coordinate its policy with other great powers to achieve its ends."
An oil expert believed to be from Britain, possibly John Kerr, a director for Royal Dutch Shell, focused on the oil pipeline from Siberia to northern China. The Bilderbergers openly wondered at the medium-term repercussions of this deal. An American investment banker asked just how much oil is expected to flow through this pipeline. Another member of the oil cartel offered a 65-80 million barrels per year as a ballpark figure.
During a Saturday night session at the bar, neocon Richard N. Perle was seen and heard talking to a group of Bilderbergers, amongst them Philippe Camus, president of the European Space Agency, EADS; Donald Graham, chairman of the Washington Post and James L. Jones, Supreme Allied Commander Europe, about the near-future test-firing of India´s Agni 3 intermediate-range ballistic missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads. James Jones said that such a weapon would greatly increase India's capabilities because, according to the four-star general, India's strategic deterrence will be able to strike targets deep inside neighbouring China. In fact, Dr M Natarajan, head of the prestigious Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), said as much two weeks later in New Delhi on 17 May.
Additionally, the Bilderbergers discussed how to dust off a "boring" image of Angela Merkel, Germany's future leader. A short, over-sized male Bilderberger offered an opinion that in order for the widest cross-section of the German public to accept Merkel, the leader of the opposition Christian Democratic Union, as chancellor, it would be important to give a new definition to the term "family values." German Bilderbergers well-versed in conservative Bavarian collective psyche believe that Merkel´s image, a divorcee with a doctorate degree in physics, isn't considered "reliable" to attract sufficient votes in this staunchly conservative area of the country. The idea, according to people within ear shot of the discussion "in the up-coming campaign would be to stress the importance of families rather than marriage as an institution."
Bilderbergers pushing Schroeder aside in favour of a new candidate could very well signify that after three years of strife between American and European Bilderbergers over the war in Iraq, the secret society is ready to move forward with a much revised and cohesive policy. It must be remembered that Schroeder, along with French President Chirac, was one of the most vociferous European critics of the US-led Iraq intervention. Both Schroeder, representing the left and Merkel, representing the right, are owned by the Bilderbergers. It has been the group's policy since its inception in 1954 to own both horses in the race. For the record, every US president belongs to the Bilderberg Group or its interlocked sister organization, The Council on Foreign Relations. Although Bush junior didn't personally attend the secret meeting in Rottach-Egern, the US government was well-represented by William Luti, Richard Perle and Dennis Ross of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
History teaches by analogy, not identity. The historical experience is not one of staying in the present and looking back. Rather it is one of going back into the past and returning to the present with a wider and more intense consciousness of the restrictions of our former outlook.
If democracy is the rule of the people, secret government agendas and influence-peddling sinister cliques, which stand for cunning selfishness, are incompatible with it. The whole idea of clandestine spheres of influence waging secret campaigns is therefore foreign to the notion of democracy and must be fought with zealous determination.
Through lies and obfuscations, Bilderbergers are desperately trying to foist onto the unwilling world population a totalitarian, one-world government, a single global currency and a syncretic universal religion.
Those of us who care deeply about the future of politics, domestic and international, cannot afford to ignore the fact that the grimly political One World Government is no longer merely a shadow subculture. It has, in fact, emerged as the dominant force in world affairs.

I got the book reference from the exemplary FBI Deputy Director John O'Neill website before it disappeared last yr. (www.rememberjohn.com) ... but that's another story.
http://www.bilderberg.org/skulbone.htm#brotherhood
After Hitler came to power, his dreaded terrorist organization, the SS was unleashed upon the German people (3,5,6). The SS was not just a terrorist organization, but deeply involved in spying and espionage as well as business. Other long range goals was to establish monopolies not only in Germany, but in all the countries it conquered (6). Himmler’s dreaded SS, had a lot of friends in the business world who also hoped to benefit from the spoils. They gave him and his SS incredible sums of money, making them, so to speak, stockholders in his money-making terrorist organization.
The Hamburg-Amerika line, which was directed by Prescott Bush, not only contributed money and helped to distribute Nazi propaganda in the U.S. and Germany, but it was also one of the official “Friends of the Reichsfuhrer SS” (6) —also known as “The Order” and the “Brotherhood of Death.”
Like its American counterpart, the “Order of Skull and Bones” the German “Order” was dedicated to making money, and recruited its membership from the aristocracy and the moneyed elite.
In 1922, Averell Harriman, an alumni of Skull and Bones (Class of 1913), made a pilgrimage to Germany. But Hamburg wasn’t the lure. It was Berlin—the ancestral home of Skull and Bones, the Brotherhood of Death. Indeed, various members of The Order of Skull and Bones had been making pilgrimages to Germany and the University of Berlin since the inception of the American chapter of the Brotherhood of Death (17). Harriman was a dedicated “Bonesman.”
According to his third wife, Pamela, Averell “Harriman regularly went back to the tomb (the Bone’s Temple) on High Street, once even lamenting that his duties as chief negotiator at the Paris Peace Talks prevented him from attending a reunion” (25).
While in Berlin he made contact with Fritz Thyssen, also, allegedly, a member of a Germany-based secret society; though which one, of course, is a secret.
A number of German secret societies were in existence at the time, such as the Illuminnati of Bavaria and the Thule Society. These secret societies counted rich industrialists, mystics, aristocrats, bankers and high ranking military men among their members (26).
In the early 1920s, when Harriman paid his visit to Germany, the membership of the Thule Society included Dietrich Eckart, Rudolf Hess, and Heinrich Himmler (27) all of whom were directly associated with Adolf Hitler, and all of whom became Nazi leaders (3,5). The secret society that had anointed Hitler as its leader, would later become known to the world as the SS —The Brotherhood of Death (6).
Although it cannot be proved, there is evidence to suggest that Himmler’s SS, and its American counterpart, Skull and Bones, were one and the same and directly linked with the Thule Society or the Illuminnati. In fact (and as will be detailed later in this chapter), some of the occult rituals that were said to be part of the initiation into the Thule Society and the SS (27), are similar to those that are said to be practiced by initiates into the American chapter of the Brotherhood of Death, that is, Skull and Bones (17,28).
For example, both employ initiation ceremonies in which the initiate “dies to the world and be born again into the Order...”(29).
In October of 1988 then Vice-President George H.W. Bush was asked by a reporter if he were “a Christian.” At first Bush seemed confused by the question, but then said, “if you mean born again, then, yes, I am a Christian.”
In his book, Mein Kamph (7) and in some of his speeches, Hitler also refers to being born again, that is “born anew.” Likewise, George Bush jr., refers to himself as “born again” and freely admits he was “honored” to be chosen to be a member of Skull and Bones. As reported in the August 7, 2000 issue of Time magazine, Bush was asked: “Did you have any qualms, say, about joining an elite secret club like Bones?” Bush replied, “No qualms at all. I was honored.”
The motto of Hitler’s SS begins as follows: “It is an honor to be an SS man. It is an honor...” (6). The leaders of the Thule Society also believed it to be an honor to have inducted Hitler into the mysteries of its secret order (27). In 1919, Dietrich Eckart, a leading member of the Thule Society, met Adolf Hitler for the first time. Eckhart believed that Hitler was the German “Messiah... the long-awaited savior” who would lead Germany to her destiny. Eckhart took Hitler under his wing and initiated Hitler into the mysteries of the secret order: “Follow Hitler; he will dance, but it is I who have called the tune. I have initiated him into the Secret Doctrine, opened his centers of vision, and given him the means to communicate with the powers” (27).
Hitler, in turn, referred to Eckhart as the “spiritual founder of” the Nazi party (7). In Table Talk (7) Hitler says of the man: “We’ve all taken a step forward on the road of existence, and we could no longer picture to ourselves exactly what Dietrich Eckart was for us. He shone in our eyes like the polar star.” In the final paragraphs of Mein Kampf (7), Hitler says of Eckart, “he was one of the best, who devoted his life to the awakening...”
Prominent members of Thule also included Rudolf Hess. Fritz Thyssen, who Harriman visited in 1922, reports that it was Hess who introduced him to Adolf Hitler. Thyssen too, thought Hitler would be the savior of Germany (30). Like the Bonesmen, Thyssen believed that the New World Order would be ruled by the kings of banking and commerce.
Thyssen and Harriman agreed to establish a banking association, and two years later, in 1924 the W.A. Harriman Co., established an international investment firm, “Union Banking Corporation,” which was in business with the Thyssens (31). Bert Walker’s son, George Herbert Walker, was made president (24).
As detailed by Webster G. Tarpley & Anton Chaitkin in their superbly documented book, George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography, “ by personal agreement between Averell Harriman and Fritz Thyssen in 1922... the Union Banking Corporation has since its inception handled funds chiefly supplied to it through the Dutch bank by the Thyssen interests for American investment.... transferring funds back and forth between New York and the Thyssen interests.”.................

This year a handful of volunteer investigators only just discovered the venue of the Bilderberg meeting before it took place. Thanks to the persistant efforts of elimination by Marek Tysis in Belgium we tracked them down a mere one week before the conference began.
Without prior warning, there is really no way to discover what they might be discussing for our future nor can we alert the public to their sneaky activities. Without prior warning, what is arguably the world's most influential military and economic gathering of the year becomes chillingly invisible. We simply cannot rely on the mainstream media to give us ANY information about this conference since they don't know the conferences are happening, neither do most wish to understand the importance of the meeting for the future of our world. If they do know, it seems, they don't want the common people to know.
Last week 2005 Bilderberg conference finder Marek Tysis, a Belgian, received several anonymous telephone calls. This is nothing entirely new for Marek but this time pistols with silencers were fired, or a recording of the same, at the other end of the telephone line. Clearly a threat of death if he carries on helping Jim Tucker, myself and others in tracking down the meeting.
Marek decided to deal with the death threats by threatening, on a French language forum, to kill the chief of Belgian Secret service Mr Coen. The death threats stopped immediately. Marek, who is himself Jewish, intended to bring up death threats he received if he were ever prosecuted for making threats against Mr Coen.
All this shows how much importance certain criminal elements place on keeping Bilderberg venues secret and suggests how close these criminals might be to the top levels of the secret state.
Meanwhile this year's participants show a more militaristic bent and as such, despite their increasing efforts to hide, the Bilderbergers simply must be better scrutinised by press and public. It appears we are gradually losing the battle to get even minimal scrutiny of these meetings, which were begun by an ex IG Farben and SS man.
If there's anything you can do to help next year please contact Marek to offer your support.

UK residents may have noticed the thousands of petrol stations around the country mothballed ready to be sold off for housing. The reason why? Big oil has switched its allegiances to the giant supermarkets. As well as the sins below supermarket giant Tesco is plotting illegal monopoly with Rockefeller controlled Esso to control the UK market in Food and Fuel.
Esso is selling more and more of its fuel at supermarket sites cutting out small family garage operators who are charged more for the fuel they buy than the supermarkets are selling it for. Conversely urban petrol stations that are retained are spawning mini-tecco stores. Shell and Sainsbury's are doing the same.
I am reminded of the Henry Kissinger quotation "Control the energy and you control the nations, control the food and you control the people"

A US consumer privacy group has called for a global boycott of Tesco stores over the company's trial of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips.
The technology allows products to be tracked via radio waves.
Privacy groups have labelled them "spy chips" because they fear the tags attached to products, can be used to track the behaviour of customers.
But Tesco said the tags, being trialled on high value items in 10 stores, were only to help its distribution process.
"Suggestions that Tesco might use this technology to track products once they have been purchased, thereby invading customers privacy are simply wrong, in fact it would be illegal in Europe," a Tesco spokeswoman told the BBC's Newsnight programme.
"The radio barcode is only activated when in close proximity to the reader located in the store or distribution centre."
More people across Great Britain will be taking home items containing spy chips, and that is simply unacceptable
Katherine Albrecht, Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering
Up to now the Tesco has used RFID chips on cases of non-food items at its distribution centres.
The spokeswoman said the new trial was to help the company track products between its distribution centres and stores.
"This helps us ensure that products are in the right place at the right time for customers."
If RFID technology was attached to most products, checkout scanning would take seconds although Tesco has said in the past it had no plans to automate the payment process in this way.
The boycott is being called by the group Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering (Caspian).
Caspian director Katherine Albrecht said the decision to carry out in-store RFID trials on products breached an informal moratorium that has, until now, limited the technology mainly to the production and supply-chain areas of big business.
"More people across Great Britain will be taking home items containing spy chips, and that is simply unacceptable."
She added: "If people must shop at Tesco, we are asking them to reduce their purchases."

Is MITRE Corp. The Trojan Horse of 9/11? by: Christopher Bollyn
Mossad, Israel's military intelligence agency, infiltrated the most sensitive computer networks in the United States through a little start-up company known as Ptech, in Quincy, Massachusetts.
Most notably, it was this infiltration that allowed the events of September 11, 2001 to occur.
If the crimes of 9/11 had been properly investigated, these people would have been investigated and booked long ago. The Mossad connection is obvious; read on:
In order to facilitate the computer network penetration, Mossad set up a IT consultancy and software provider named Ptech using Lebanese and Arabs as the front-man financiers and founders and keeping their Jewish American "sayan" in a secondary, but critical position.
First a note of background on what Ptech did, from the January 2005 article "Michael Chertoff and the sabotage of the Ptech investigation" on the Rigorous Intuition weblog:
"Joe Bergantino, a reporter for WBZ-TV's investigative team, was torn. He could risk breaking a story based on months of work investigating a software firm linked to terrorism, or heed the government's demand to hold the story for national security reasons. In mid-June, Bergantino received a tip from a woman in New York who suspected that Ptech, a computer software company in Quincy, Mass., had ties to terrorists. Ptech specialized in developing software that manages information contained in computer networks.
"Bergantino's investigation revealed that Ptech's clients included many federal governmental agencies, including the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Naval Air Command, Congress, the Department of Energy, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Internal Revenue Service, NATO, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Secret Service and even the White House.
"Ptech was doing business with every federal government in defense and had access to key government data," Bergantino said.
Source: http://rigorousintuition.blogspot.com/2005/01/michael-chertoff-and-sabotage-of-ptech.html
The Mossad handler at Ptech was, in my opinon, an American named Michael S. Goff, who is disingenous about what he did, when he worked at, and when he left, Ptech.
It should be noted that Ptech "got on its feet in 1994." Goff implies that he left Ptech when Goff Communications began in 1994; certainly not true.
Here is what Michael Goff's website says about his work there:
Michael was marketing manager at Ptech, Inc., a leading provider of business process modeling, design and development software. In this capacity, Michael managed various marketing programs and activities including public relations, direct mail, Web development, collateral, trade shows and seminars. Additionally, Michael worked closely with the Ptech sales organization to perform competitive analysis as well as manage lead tracking and fulfillment activities.
When Michael first joined Ptech, he shared responsibilities between marketing and information systems for the company. As information systems manager, Michael handled design, deployment and management of its Windows and Macintosh, data, and voice networks. As part of this effort, Michael developed Lotus Notes-based systems for sales and marketing lead tracking and IS service and support requests. Michael also performed employee training and handled all procurement for software, systems and peripherals.
See: http://www.goffpr.com/about.asp
From Goff Communications website, you will notice that one of his current prize clients is an Israeli company known as Guardium. Guardium is less than 5 miles from Hanscom AFB, site of MIT's Lincoln Labs and about the same distance from Boston's Logan Airport. The Israelis are all over MIT and Boston.
See: http://www.guardium.com/
Guardium, a "database security" firm, is clearly a Mossad operation working in a critical area - the same area that the two planes that hit the World Trade Center originated - Boston's Logan Airport.
Don't take my word for it, look at who finances Guardium:
http://www.guardium.com/investors.html
Three firms, all Israeli, and all manned by Mossad agents. It should be noted that Mossad's headquarters are in Herzeliya. It is clear that the three firms, Cedar Fund, Veritas Venture Partners, and StageOne, are all Mossad funding outfits.
So, with Ptech, what we had was an American "sayan" [i.e. Jewish agent who works with the Mossad when necessary], Michael S. Goff, who had Mossad agents feeding him information and directing him WHILE he worked with his Lebanese Muslim "partners" in Ptech.
Now why would a young American lawyer working with a good law firm in his home town suddenly leave the practice of law and work with a dodgy start-up software company owned and financed by a Lebanese and a Saudi? Get the picture? Am I making sense?
Goff's family is a well-respected an well-known family in Worcester, Mass. He had it made at a good law firm after leaving law school. Why the career change?
Mossad asked him to do it. For the good of the Jewish people, etc, etc.
Under Goff, Ptech software loaded with trapdoors and Trojan Horses was sold and loaded onto the MOST sensitive computer systems that failed miserably, or performed well (depending on your view), on September 11, 2001.
Goff's father and grandfather, Samuel, were accountants who belonged to Worcester's "Commonwealth Lodge 600 of B'nai B'rith", whatever that group does for the American people. They were both 32nd Degree Masons. Does an apple fall far from the tree?
IMPORTANT NOTE to the non-corrupted FBI and U.S. Law enforcement agents: If you take a close look at the individuals who are running Guardium, and those behind the three companies who are financing this outfit, and interrogate them in Guantanamo for a few weeks, we will get to the bottom of who pulled of 9/11. I guarantee it.

911dossier notes: This thoroughly researched overview of the latest information on the failure to launch planes shows that it was only due to relatively junior officers in NORAD ignoring Rumsfeld's new June 2001 procedures that there were any planes at all in the air. He also debunks the 911 commission.
Cover-Up: The Real Mission of the 911 Commission
By Christopher Bollyn
The controlled media and the seriously compromised 9-11 commission are seemingly complicit in concealing the truth - while writing the history - for the worst terrorist attack in American history.
The truth about the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 is unlikely to emerge from the politically appointed National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States. The integrity of the so-called "independent" 9-11 commission is compromised by, among other things, the connections of its staff and key members to the globalist Council on Foreign Relations, the White House, and domestic and foreign intelligence agencies.
The mainstream media has reported that the commission's investigation has been hampered by the failure of the executive branch agencies, especially the Pentagon and the Justice Department, to provide requested documents and testimony. The heads of the commission recently reported that federal agencies under the president's control were not cooperating quickly or fully. The commission also complained about the fact that, like Iraq, the U.S. government requires an agency "minder" to be present during interviews with officials. The commission's chairman Thomas H. Kean, the former Republican governor of New Jersey, said the presence of an agency "minder" amounted to"intimidation" of the witnesses.
The fact that key members and staff of the commission belong to globalistgroups and secret societies that have un-American agendas has not been reported in the controlled press.
Kean and vice-chairman Lee H. Hamilton, a former Democratic congressman from Indiana, are both long-standing members of the CFR, as is commission member Jamie Gorelick and Philip Zelikow, its executive director. Zelikow is also a member of the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), an appendage of British intelligence. Members of the CFR, IISS, and the Yale secret society Skull and Bones are found like threads running through the cloth of 9-11.
For example, Peter G. Peterson, chairman of the CFR and the Federal ReserveBank of New York announced that his Blackstone Group had purchased, inOctober 2000, the mortgage on 7 World Trade Center, the 47-story building built by Larry Silverstein in 1987. Silverstein is the person who obtained 99-year leases on the twin towers shortly before 9-11 and who insured the property and its future income against terrorism. He is seeking some $7.2 billion claiming the attacks were two separate events.
WTC 7 mysteriously collapsed at 5:25 p.m. on 9-11, in what appears to have been a controlled demolition. John Wholihan, a firefighter with Rescue 5 from Staten Island was near WTC 7 when it collapsed. Wholihan told American Free Press that he heard "many explosions" just before the building collapsed neatly within the perimeter of its foundation. Silverstein received some $441 million in insurance money for WTC 7 although the cause of the collapse remains officially unexplained.
Peterson co-founded the Blackstone Group with Stephen A. Schwarzman, a member of the CFR and Skull and Bones. Both George W. Bush and his father are also Skull and Bones, as is John F. Kerry, the Democrat presidential candidate.
Commission spokesman Alvin Felzenberg and commission member Fred Fielding served on the Bush transition team in 2001. Felzenberg was executive director of the President's Commission on the Federal Appointments Process.
Most of the commission's work is done behind closed doors; it has only held three open sessions. The third session, "Terrorism, Al Qaeda, and the Muslim World," on July 9 concluded with Steven Emerson, the self-styled terrorism "expert" whose anti-Muslim rants appear often in the controlled press, particularly on Fox News and NBC News, where he is a consultant.
The controlled media generally accepts the government's version of 9-11 events as doctrine ignoring the numerous contradictions and unanswered questions.
Intriguing testimony was heard during the commission's second open session on May 23 when officials from the Department of Transportation and the Air Force appeared.
CHENEY IN CHARGE
While two planes had already smashed into the World Trade Center and with two other rogue aircraft - one headed for Washington - being tracked by civil and military aviation authorities, President George W. Bush continued to calmly read and discuss a story of a goat with school children in Florida.
Rather than leaving to take charge of the national emergency, Bush continued to read for another thirty minutes. The only explanation for this bizarre behavior is that Bush had anticipated the event and knew it was being controlled by Vice President Dick Cheney. The testimony of Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta on May 23 about Cheney's actions is revealing. Mineta said he arrived at the Presidential Emergency Operating Center (PEOC) at 9:20 a.m. where he observed the Vice President taking charge: Mineta: There was a young man who had come in and said to the vice president, "The plane is 50 miles out.The plane is 30 miles out." And when it got down to, "The plane is 10 miles out," the young man also said to the vice president, "Do the orders still stand?" And the vice president turned and whipped his neck around and said, "Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?" Well, at the time I didn't know what all that meant. And.
Hamilton: The flight you're referring to is the.
Mineta: The flight that came into the Pentagon.
After some discussion of whether Cheney's orders meant to shoot down the hijacked aircraft, it was clearly stated on the record that there were no such orders to do so, which raises the obvious question of what "the orders" were:
Hamilton: And so there was no specific order there to shoot that plane down. Mineta: No, sir.
Hamilton: But there were military planes in the air in position to shoot down commercial aircraft.
Mineta: That's right. The planes had been scrambled, I believe, from Otis at that point. Mineta is referring to two F-15 fighter jets from the 102 Fighter Wing at Otis Air National Guard Base, near Cape Cod, Mass. As the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) responded to the hijackings, these planes reportedly flew to New York City in order to intercept the two planes that had been hijacked after leaving Boston's Logan Airport. There are numerous unanswered questions about the actions taken by NORAD aircraft and why they were unable to intercept any of the hijacked passenger planes.
HOW FAST IS FAST?
The two F-15s were scrambled at Otis ANGB at 8:46 a.m. as the first tower at the World Trade Center was struck. By 8:52 they were airborne and according to one of the pilots flying at full speed to New York City. Told "This looks like the real thing," Lt. Col. Timothy Duffy jammed the F-15's throttles into afterburner and the two planes flew the 153 miles to New York City at "supersonic speeds," according to an Aviation Week & Space Technology (AW) article of June 3, 2002. "It just seemed wrong. I just wanted to get there. I was in full-blower all the way," Duffy said.
The F-15 Eagle is capable of flying 1,875 mph (Mach 2.5+) and has a range of 3,000 nautical miles. At full speed the Otis F-15s should have reached New York City in about 5 minutes, by 8:58 a.m. The armed fighter jets would then have been in position to intercept the second hijacked plane, which struck the south tower at about 9:02 a.m. The F-15s from Otis were "cocked and loaded, and even had extra gas on board," according to Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS) commander Col. Robert K. Marr. Air Force Capt. Wes Ticer, spokesman for Air Combat Command told American Free Press that an F-15 at "full power" reaches 1,875 mph, although its velocity varies depending on the plane's weight and altitude.
Col. Alan Scott (Ret.) presented NORAD's timeline to the commission on May 23. In this timeline the F-15 fighter jets are said to be 71 miles, "about eight minutes out," from the World Trade Center at 9:02 a.m. when the second tower was struck. This indicates the fighters had traveled only 83 miles in some nine minutes, flying about 550 mph (Mach 0.9). Scott told the commission that the interceptors jets, which would have been flying at less than 30 percent of their full speed, were "going very fast" - and nobody questioned it.
VIGILANT GUARDIAN
Maj. Gen. Larry Arnold, commander of the Continental U.S. NORAD Region (CONAR) at Tyndall AFB, Fla., was informed by Marr about the suspected hijacked aircraft shortly after 8:40 a.m. Arnold, who then headed the 1st Air Force for Air Combat Command, was in Air Operations Center preparing for another day of a major NORAD counter-terrorism exercise that morning called "Vigilant Guardian."
The National Reconnaissance Office in Chantilly, Va., a branch of the military intelligence community that operates the nation's spy satellites was engaged in a similar exercise in which a passenger jet leaving the nearby Dulles Airport would crash into the NRO building.
"I told him to scramble; we'll get clearances later," Arnold said. On Sept. 11, a time consuming bureaucratic procedure was required before scrambling defensive interceptor jets. FAA officials had to contact the National Military Command Center (NMCC) and request Pentagon air support. The NMCC then had to call NORAD's command center and ask about availability of aircraft and finally approval had to come from the Defense Secretary - Donald H. Rumsfeld - before launching fighters. This time consuming procedure was the result of a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction dated June 1, 2001.
CANADIAN COMMANDERS?
However, rather than getting approval from Rumsfeld, two Canadian officers, serving as NORAD directors on the morning of 9-11, approved the fighters' launch according to the Aviation Week article. Capt. Michael H. Jellinek, a British-born Canadian officer was serving as NORAD command director and another Canadian, Maj. Gen. Eric A. Findley was NORAD's director of operations. Findley, positioned at NORAD headquarters in Colorado's Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station for the Vigilant Guardian exercise "quickly approved the fighters' launch," according to AW. While NORAD has been faulted for its failures on 9-11, it should be noted that it was the Canadian officer Jellinek who was NORAD's "director of plans, requirements and readiness" on Sept. 11, 2001.
American Free Press has filed a written request with NORAD asking for clarification of who was in the chain-of-command and who actually approved the launching of the fighter jets on 9-11 and why foreign officers were making decisions during a national crisis in the United States. A NORAD spokesman said that an answer would not be readily available. A year after 9-11, Arnold told ABC News that when he heard of the hijacking, "The first thing that went through my mind was, 'Is this part of the exercise? Is this some kind of screw-up?'"
In a September 23, 2001 interview with Mike Taibbi of Dateline NBC, Arnold said the F-15s from Otis were travelling about 1,200 mph:
ARNOLD: In the meantime, our pilots were coming at about 1.5 Mach, which is, you know, somewhere -11 or 12 hundred miles an hour.
TAIBBI: And they know where they're going at that point? The first...
ARNOLD: They're coming to New York. They're coming to New York. That's exactly right.
