Jim Tucker's 2007 Bilderberg Update From Istanbul Turkey?Alex welcomes investigative journalist Jim Tucker of the American Free Press who reports live from Turkey, the site of this year's Bilderberg Group meeting, to discuss the shadowy group's current schemes and which globalist politicians and industrialists are in attendance.

Interview 5/31/07

Texas Gov. Rick Perry To Attend Bilderberg
CHRISTY HOPPE
The Dallas Morning News
Thursday May 31, 2007

AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry is flying to Istanbul, Turkey, today to speak at the super-secret Bilderberg Conference, a meeting of about 130 international leaders in business, media and politics.

The invitation-only conference was started in 1954 and named for the Dutch hotel where the conference was first held. Those who attend promise not to reveal what was discussed, security is tight, and the press and public are barred.
The conference has been the subject of conspiracy theorists and even Christian groups who wonder about its influence.

Robert Black, the governor's press secretary, said the governor was invited to attend and speak about state-federal relations. Mr. Black dismissed the conspiracy theories.


"He's looking forward to learning the secret handshake," Mr. Black joked.

He said that Mr. Perry is paying for the trip and host hotel, usually among the top in the world, out of campaign contributions from his Texans for Rick Perry committee.

Previous speakers at the conference have included such GOP stalwarts as outgoing World Bank chief Paul Wolfowitz and former U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

Last year, the conference was held in Ottawa, and the Toronto Star reported that it had received an unsigned press release saying that the 2006 group included David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Queen Beatrix of Holland, New York Gov. George Pataki, media moguls, high-level officials from Spain and Greece, and the heads of Coca-Cola, Credit Suisse and the Royal Bank of Canada.

Bilderberg chairman Etienne Davignon, a former Belgian diplomat, granted the British Broadcasting Corp. a rare interview two years ago in which he brushed aside myths surrounding the organization.

"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," Mr. Davignon said.

Mr. Black said that the governor was going because he was invited. "He looks forward to talking to them about the system of federalism here in the United States," he said.

Regarding the secrecy surrounding the event, Mr. Black said: "It's their conference, and I suppose they can run it anyway they want. The governor was honored that they would ask him to come speak on the American experience, and he's happy to do it."

Mr. Perry returns to Texas on Monday.

Bilderberg to Meet in Turkey This Week (Press always silent because bought)

CONFIRMED: BILDERBERG WILL GO TO TURKEY

Elite Meeting to Be Held in Istanbul; But Exact Confab Site Still a Mystery
By James P. Tucker Jr.

The Turkish Embassy confirmed May 7 that Bilderberg would meet May 31-June 3 in Istanbul but was unable to say precisely where. The economics office said Bilderberg refused to disclose the location because the meeting is “private.” Of the dates and Istanbul-area site, there is no doubt. This has been confirmed.

“It is very confidential; they will not say where they will be in Istanbul,” said an embassy secretary who said to call her “Santafey” as in Santa Fe. “It will be in Istanbul, but they won’t say where.”

In addition, embattled IMF head Paul Wolfowitz told a Turkish reporter recently that he would be in Istanbul for an upcoming meeting of the Bilderberg group. Managing editor Christopher J. Petherick said this reporter would go to Istanbul “to chase down Bilderberg even if he has to spend all his time there looking for resorts surrounded by armed guards and tanks.”

Perhaps placing the elite conference in the midst of a major metropolitan area, with literally hundreds and hundeds of possible hotel and conference sites, instead of an isolated resort, isn’t such a bid idea. It could even be held in a government facility for all we know.

But problems mount—costs are soaring. The travel agency that has booked my Bilderberg trips for three decades said discounts have been discontinued.

Julia Foster, AFP’s office manager, scoured the Internet looking for lower prices. After holding out for round-trip prices less than $1,400, the price shot up to nearly $2,000.

Much of the Bilderberg agenda is known: establishing an “American Union” covering the entire Western Hemisphere with the “amero” as the common currency in another step toward world government. But how will Bilderberg handle setbacks in Europe, where the European Union is falling into disfavor?

Much of the recent rise in “nationalism” (a profanity to the internationalists) can be attributed to Bilderberg exposure.

For more than 10 years—since 1994—major European newspapers and broadcasters have collaborated with AFP to expose Bilderberg. Major newspapers give Bilderberg heavy front-page coverage. Major broadcasters cover Bilderberg in depth. But in the United States, Bilderberg is blacked out, except for AFP’s little candle.

AFP correspondent James P. Tucker Jr. is a veteran journalist who spent many years as a member of the “elite” media in Washington. Since 1975 he has won widespread recognition, here and abroad, for his pursuit of on-thescene stories reporting the intrigues of global power blocs.

Did you notice that WOLFOWITZ, who by the way just lost his job at the WORLD BANK due to his corrupt self, will still be attending the Bilderberg group?

Usually when people get fired for wrongdoing they get punished, they don't continue with life as usual. What is different about Wolfowitz?

Well, he is part of what is happening to our country. He is a sellout, unpatriotic IDIOT NEOCON MINION of the ELITE who are destroying this country.

Have you ever questioned why you keep seeing KISSINGER in everything political? How old is this guy for godssake? He should have been retired long ago. However, he will never retire because HE IS ONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS used by the ELITE to bring about what is currently happening to this Nation.

BUSH/CHENEY have allowed and/or created everything you have seen happening the past 6 years to this country. IT IS THEY who will get the ultimate blame because THEY DID NOT PROTECT OUR CONSTITUTION, but rather WALKED ALL OVER IT.

And they dare say WE ARE UNPATRIOTIC because we love our country enough to speak out AGAINST THE EVIL AND DESTRUCTION THEY are causing?

NO SIRS, YOU ARE THE ONES UNPATRIOTIC and the worst traitors this country has ever seen. The blood of all of the killings the past 6 hears is on YOUR HEADS because you allowed it BECAUSE OF YOUR WEAK SOULS.

TRUE PATRIOTISM FOLKS IS WE THE PEOPLE SPEAKING OUT, AND LOUDLY, AGAINST THE EVIL THAT THIS ADMINISTRATION IS INVOLVED IN, AND ALLOWING.

Governor Rick Perry (TX) Will be at this Meeting
http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/may2007/310507Perry.htm

The Reported topic of his Speech to Bilderberg: Robert Black, the governor's press secretary, said the governor was invited to attend and speak about state-federal relations

INTERPRETED: Bilderberg ELITES want a progress report on how weakened our States are after all the new legislation the past 6 years, and if everything is in position for MARSHALL LAW to be declared? I guess they'll get around to asking him how he screwed up their plans for a NAFTA SUPERHIGHWAY through Texas also. SEE WHO RULES THIS COUNTRY? FOREIGN CONCERNS, SOME OF WHOM MEET WITH THIS ELITE GROUP ANNUALLY. (A**HOLES)

So now we have a sitting Governor violating the LOGAN ACT and going to speak at the ELITE BILDERBERG meeting in Turkey.

It appears that RICK PERRY has sold out to the ELITE like many in our GOVERNMENT. TALK ABOUT SPINELESS MINIONS OF THE ELITE! ADD RICK TO THE LIST!

Ron Paul Comments on Rick Perry Going to the Meeting:

http://www.libertypost.org/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=189653

Ron Paul: Perry's Bilderberg Attendance Proof Governor Part Of "International Conspiracy" Agrees that Perry should be investigated for potentially violating the Logan Act

Texas Congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul has added his voice to those who believe Texas Governor Rick Perry should be investigated for a criminal violation of the Logan Act after he jetted off to meet with foreign elites yesterday at the Bilderberg Group conference in Istanbul.

Perry's trip to Turkey is a clear violation of the Logan Act which states that "Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both."

Since Perry has not received authorization from Congress, the U.S. government or the American people to meet with Bilderberg luminaries, where policy that impacts the world is secretly discussed in a wholly undemocratic fashion, his visit represents a criminal act.

Hillary Clinton already has 100 million dollars for her campagin, how could she raise that much money in the few months she threw her hat in the ring for 2008? Sounds like a huge influx from the Bilderberger's, that's the only thing that makes sense, because I have not heard one good word about her from the circle I travel in.

Interesting that the Bilderberg would be meeting in Turkey this year.

"Khazar communities existed outside those areas under Khazar overlordship. Many Khazar mercenaries served in the armies of the Caliphate and other Islamic states. Documents from medieval Constantinople attest to a Khazar community mingled with the Jews of the suburb of Pera. Christian Khazars also lived in Constantinople, and some served in its armies. The Patriarch Photius I of Constantinople was once angrily referred to by the Emperor as "Khazar-face", though whether this refers to his actual lineage or is a generic insult is unclear"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khazar

Many think that the Zionists are involved in part of what is currently happening in the world, and why there is such a Zionist influence currently in the USA government. Is there a connection?

Bilderberg Meeting 2007 Participant List Leaked!

"This year's Bilderberg conference in Istanbul, Turkey is the big one. If Henry Kissinger and the steering committee can convince the Turks, through threats and bribery, to go for the neo-Conservative 'regime change' agenda for Iran we can expect a further Middle Eastern bloodbath and Islamic genocide."

Oh yeah, you can bet she is being financed by the EVILDOERS who want her as their NEXT PUPPET. She will be easy. She will oblige them whatever they want.

We need someone WHO WILL STAND UP TO THESE IDIOTS, NOT ROLL OVER FOR THEM!

THE NEW WORLD ORDER
Part 6: The Bilderbergs
by Douglas V. Gnazzo
http://www.financialsense.com/fsu/editoria...order/0128.html

http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/masonry6....derberg%20Group

Senator John R. Rarick as he disclosed the secret workings of the Bilderbergers to the House of Representatives:

"Mr. Speaker, on several occasions during recent months, I called the attention of our colleagues to activities of the Bilderbergers -- an elite international group comprised of high government officials, international financiers, businessmen, and opinion-makers....

"This exclusive international aristocracy holds highly secret meetings annually or more often in various countries. The limited information available about what transpires at these meetings reveals that they discuss matters of vital importance which affect the lives of all citizens. Presidential Advisor Henry Kissinger, who made a secret visit to Peking from July 9 to July 11, 1971, and arranged for a presidential visit to Red China, was reported to be in attendance at the most recent Bilderberg meeting held in Woodstock, Vermont, April 23 to April 25, 1971. The two points reportedly discussed at the Woodstock meeting were, 'the contribution of business in dealing with current problems of social instability' and 'the possibility of a change of the American role in the world and its consequences.'

"Following these secret discussions, which are certainly not in keeping with the Western political tradition of 'open covenants openly arrived at,' the participants returned to their respective countries with the general public left uninformed, notwithstanding the attendance of some news media representatives, of any of the recommendations and plans agreed upon as a result of the discussions -- or for that matter even the occurrence of the meeting itself"

(John R. Rarick, Congressional Record, 92nd Congress, 1st Session, Wednesday, Volume 117, No. 133, 15 September 1971, pp. E9615-E9624).

While there are many notable attendees at this meeting, there is ONE who really stands out to me - PHILIP ZELIKOW.

Remember him? He was the Exe Director and Gatekeeper of the 911 Commission. He controlled the agenda from beginning to end, which means he kept the truth from coming out. Yep, now you should be able to see why he was chosen to handle the 911 Commission. This same GATEKEEPER stragegy has been used on every single WRONGDOING investigation in our country for a very long time. THE INTENT: COVER UP LIES, AND PROTECT THE ELITE.

THE 911 COMMISSION WAS A LIE, AND IT WAS CONTROLLED BY PHILIP ZELIKOW, AN UNAMERICAN PERSON (AKA TRAITOR), AND A NWO BILDERBERGER PARTICIPANT.

The True Story of the Bilderberg Group (Paperback)
by Daniel Estulin
http://www.amazon.com/True-Story-Bilderber...98789357&sr=8-1

One Review from this page:

Unmasking the wannabe masters of the universe, November 2, 2007

"In 1954, the most powerful men in the world met for the first time under the auspices of the Dutch royal crown and the Rockefeller family at the luxurious Hotel Bilderberg in the small Dutch town of Oosterbeck. For an entire weekend, the debated the future of the world. When it was over, they decided to meet once every year to exchange ideas and analyze international affairs. They named themselves the Bilderberg Group. Since then, they have gathered yearly in a luxurious hotel somewhere in the world to try to decide the future of humanity. Among the select members of this club are Bill Clinton, Paul Wolfowitz, Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Tony Blair and many other heads of government, businessmen, politicians, bankers and journalists from all over the world," writes journalist Daniel Estulin in the opening paragraph of the introduction to his must-read book, The True Story of the Bilderberg Group.

"Nevertheless, in the more than fifty years of their meetings, the press has never been allowed to attend, no statements have ever been released on the attendees' conclusions, nor has any agenda for a Bilderberg meeting been made public," Estulin notes.

For some 15 years, Estulin has been a thorn in the sides of the Bilderbergers, relentlessly hunting down their secret meeting places, gaining inside sources who divulge what goes on behind closed doors, even photographing attendees and publicly disclosing it all. Now he has put it all in a book that every person who values freedom and democracy should read.

The Bilderbergers are so secretive that they even try to hide, until the last minute, the location of their gathering places. Attendance is by invitation only and if an invitee's name is publicly disclosed beforehand, he or she is disinvited.

Perhaps these three quotes will explain what the secrecy is all about. The Times of London in 1977 called the Bilderbergers "a clique of the richest, economically and politically most powerful and influential men in the Western world, who meet secretly to plan events that later appear just to happen."

Said Bilderberg Group founder Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands, "It is difficult to re-educate people who have been brought up on nationalism to the idea of relinquishing part of their sovereignty to a supranational body." (The late prince has been replaced by his daughter, Queen Beatrix, who regularly attends the Bilderberg meetings.)

Former British Defense Minister Denis Healey, put it this way, "World events do not occur by accident. They are made to happen, whether it is to do with national issues or commerce; and most of them are staged and managed by those who hold the purse strings."

Every US president since Eisenhower has either belonged to the Bilderberg Group or its older parallel group, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), or been approved by them. As Estulin wrote, the race is no contest when you own both horses. That is why no matter which political party is in power nothing really changes other than the packaging. The puppets who drink at the champagne fountains of the powerful do the bidding of their masters. The people are superfluous to the process.

And it's not just in the US. The Bilderberg Group and its parallel groups, among which are the CFR, the Trilateral Commission (founded by David Rockefeller and Brzezinski), the Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA) based at Chatham House in London, and their interlocking memberships are at work throughout the Western world and are endeavoring to get their hooks into the rest. The European Union is their baby.

When Bilderberger Margaret Thatcher, the high priestess of privatization, balked on adopting the euro as the UK's currency, the Bilderbergers had her dumped as prime minister and replaced by John Major.

Like the CFR, which in the course of its history has embraced and financed the Bolsheviks, Communists, Socialists, Nazis and fascists, the Bilderbergers also play all sides. Thus, in 1980, the Bilderbergers decided François Mitterand was to be resurrected and restored to power as France's next president. After attending the 1999 Bilderberg meeting, Romano Prodi was sworn in as president of Europe in the fall of that year; when his termed ended in 2005, he was elected prime minister of Italy.

Estulin makes it clear that these people will use any means -- legal or illegal -- in pursuit of their goal of total subjugation to their New World Order or One World Company, as they prefer to call it: wars, coups, assassinations; control of banking, finance, business, the media, education (dumbing down all but an elite needed to run things) and even religion to keep people in check.

He notes that David Rockefeller said in his Memoirs, "Some even believe we are a part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure -- one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty and I am proud of it."

Incorporated in this group are the neoconservatives -- "those who have determined that Israel's security should come at the expense of the safety to the United States and be central to all US foreign policy decisions." Richard Perle is a regular attendee at Bilderberg meetings. Michael Ledeen attended the 2005 meeting.

Media moguls such as Rupert Murdock, the now disgraced Conrad Black, Viacom (parent company of CBS) CEO Sumner Redstone, the Washington Post's Katherine Graham (now deceased), Washington Post columnists Jim Hoagland and Charles Krauthammer, New York Times Editor Arthur Sulzberger and columnist Thomas L. Friedman, William F. Buckley, Jr., and Bill Moyers have all been Bilderberg meeting invitees.

"The ideas and policies that come out of the Bilderberg annual meetings are used to generate the news in the leading periodicals and news groups of the world. The point is to make the prevalent opinions of the Bilderbergers so appealing that they become public policy and to pressure world leaders unto submitting to the 'needs of the Masters of the Universe.' The 'free world press' is completely at the mercy of the Bilderbergers disseminating the agreed upon propaganda," Estulin points out.

This is just a smattering of the information Estulin has managed to pack into his well-written 340-page book, complete with photographs, documents and an index.

If all this seems far-fetched, look around. America has been stripped of its industrial base. The good jobs have been or are being offshored, while Americans are working harder and longer at service sector jobs for less pay and fewer to no benefits. Americans have been dumbed down in public and private schools, universities and colleges. Their only worth now is as consumers of mainly foreign made goods. They are kept in check by religion, sports, idiotic "reality" TV, video games and anything else that turns off thinking.

Democracy, freedom and national sovereignty are anathema to the wannabe masters of the universe. But the Bilderbergers and their parallel groups and allied think tanks have been working to do away with all three. Elections have been rigged. The US, Canada and Great Britain are on the verge of becoming police states, The US, Canada and Great Britain are on the verge of becoming police states, thanks to the bogus "war on terror" used to pump up people's fears. All that remains in their grand plan is to replace the last vestiges of sovereign nations with a series of regional unions that they will control via the United Nations, outlawing all nationalism.

But they may have overplayed their hand, as the grand scheme is fraying around the edges. Not all Europeans are ready to surrender their countries' sovereignty to the EU. Canadians who know more about the plan for a North American Union than Americans are diametrically opposed to it. A revitalized Russia, which has a historical wariness of outsiders, has its own ideas. And despite all the Western investment in China, Beijing is proving to be a problem in its refusal to float the yuan to bail out the financial mess the greedy Bilderberger bankers and financiers have made, which may explain the Carlyle Group's sale of 9.9 percent of itself to the Chinese as a hoped for hook to bring China to their table.

As the old adage says, knowledge is power, and Daniel Estulin is providing every reader of The True Story of the Bilderberg Group with the knowledge they need to aid in destroying the Bilderbergers' grand plan by bringing it to the attention of family, friends and colleagues. It is up to us to get this book into as many hands as possible, because Estulin will get no help promoting it from the corporate media.

Collectively, the people hold the power save themselves and that frightens the Bilderbergers and their cohorts the most. But that power is useless if the people refuse to exercise it or surrender it to those who would enslave us.
