Thread: BILDERBERG 2016 TO TALK TRUMP, RIOTS, MIGRANTS & BREXIT

Globalists panicking about populist revolution sweeping the west

Paul Joseph Watson - JUNE 7, 2016

The secretive Bilderberg Group, which is set to meet in Dresden, Germany later this week, will discuss how to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president, the possibility of mass riots as a result of wealth inequality, the migrant crisis, as well as the United Kingdom’s vote on leaving the European Union.

The influential meeting of bankers, politicians, media heads and business moguls has released its official participant list and agenda for 2016.

As per usual, the list of topics to be discussed is extremely vague;

• Current events
• China
• Europe: migration, growth, reform, vision, unity
• Middle East
• Russia
• US political landscape, economy: growth, debt, reform
• Cyber security
• Geo-politics of energy and commodity prices
• Precariat and middle class
• Technological innovation

However, we can easily infer from the agenda and some of the names on the participant list what the group will be discussing in more detail.

The attendance of anti-Trump Senator Lindsey Graham is an obvious sign that Bilderberg will be scheming on how to prevent Trump from defeating Bilderberg’s chosen candidate – Hillary Clinton.

As we reported during last year’s conference, Bilderberg was confident that Clinton could shake off her GOP challengers, but Trump’s self-funded campaign and his public opposition to globalism and internationalist trade deals like NAFTA has shocked the Bilderberg elitists.

Bilderberg will obviously be discussing Brexit – Britain referendum vote to leave the EU – because it threatens the future of the European Union federal superstate that was the brainchild of Bilderberg in the first place.

The inclusion of “precariat and middle class” on the list also means that the powerful lobby group will be ruminating on how they can exploit and manage the inevitability of more riots and civil unrest in the west, a topic that elitists were also concerned about at the 2015 Davos Economic Summit.

“Precariat” describes those who are struggling to survive in today’s economy and who have no long term wage security. Studies have shown that wealth inequality increases the likelihood of mass social disorder.

The flooding of Europe with third world migrants, a process which has driven European voters into the arms of nationalist parties that typically oppose Bilderberg’s wider agenda, will also be a key topic of discussion.

Other interesting names on the list include Richard Engel, NBC News’ chief foreign correspondent.

Normally, a semi-secret meeting of over 100 of the most powerful people on the planet would be a monumental news scoop, but don’t expect Engel to utter a word.

Bilderberg operates under Chatham House Rules, which means that none of the participants are able to reveal any comments made during the conference.

Although it was reported in the German media that German Chancellor Angela Merkel would attend this year’s conference, her name does not appear on the list.

However, it is a common practice for Bilderberg to omit names from the official list if the individual’s attendance is politically sensitive.

The annual Bilderberg meeting is definitely an exclusive affair, whether it’s seen as an opportunity for the world’s power players to informally converse about important global trends, or just a secret gathering of the Illuminati puppet masters who custom-build history to suit their mysterious agenda.

“No minutes will be taken. No reporters will be allowed in. There will be no opening press conference, no closing statement, and participants will be asked not to quote each other,” the UK Independent says of the 64th Bilderberg Conference, which began on Thursday at the Taschenbergpalais hotel in Dresden, Germany.

The UK Guardian explains that much of the secrecy that fuels conspiracy theories is meant to avoid difficult encounters with the press, a prospect that might otherwise keep many influential guests from attending: “No one wants the Danish minister of justice or the deputy prime minister of Turkey to have to field awkward questions, such as: ‘Where do you stand on corporate lobbying?’ Especially when they’re standing between the chairman of HSBC and the president of Siemens.”

The Guardian thinks it fair to describe the meeting as a gigantic “corporate lobbying event,” a fact made obvious by the energetic corporate sponsorship of the event: “All those finance ministers sitting round discussing the ‘geopolitics of energy and commodity prices’ with the group chief executive of BP, the vice-chairman of Portuguese petroleum giant Galp Energia, and the CEO of Royal Dutch Shell. And then afterwards saying nothing to their respective parliaments about what they discussed. It’s so off-the-chart inappropriate that it beggars comprehension.”

Among the attendees will be Henry Kissinger, who the Guardian’s Charlie Skelton does not like very much. “The ageless 93-year-old former US secretary of state will be holding court at Dresden, croaking out his wisdom from the throne of bones he has shipped everywhere he goes. You just can’t keep a bad man down,” Skelton hisses.

The Bilderberg organization releases its guest list to the public every year, so the attendees are no mystery. It’s a fairly even mix of politicians, corporate titans, and the lobbyists who bring them together in matrimony. A few other names beside Kissinger stand out.

Former CIA head David Petraeus will be there, no doubt taking a bit of good-natured ribbing in the locker room for being unable to get away with handling classified documents the way Hillary Clinton does. Gawker Media will be delighted to see its nemesis Peter Thiel in attendance.

The U.S. legislature will be represented by Lindsey Graham (R-SC). You don’t suppose they’ll be discussing the U.S. presidential race behind closed doors, do you?

Some notable academics will make the trip to Dresden, including history professor Niall Ferguson of Harvard, Hudson Institute senior fellow Marie-Josee Kravis, and Charles Murray of the American Enterprise Institute.

The U.S. media is actually quite well-represented on the guest list: Washington Post columnist Anne Applebaum, NBC News Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel, Bloomberg View’s Megan McArdle, Bloomberg LP Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait, and Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan.

If one of the topics discussed at Bilderberg does prove to be uploading Henry Kissinger’s brain into a giant computer, it will most likely be handled by Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir Technologies, assuming Thiel is too busy hunting the last survivors of Gawker for sport. The Guardian even describes Karp as “a bit like a younger, more hippyish Kissinger,” which makes him sound perfect for the job.

LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman will also be there, and we’d best hope he isn’t the one who turns uploads Kissinger’s brain into an immortal digital demigod, or everyone on Earth is about to get carpet-bombed with LinkedIn connection emails. Cyber-Kissinger will not feel pity, or remorse, or fear, and it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you respond to its LinkedIn request.

There will, of course, be a lot of money represented at the meeting. As previously noted, some old-industry oil company executives will be on hand, along with Deutsche Bank CEO John Cryan and his supervisory board chairman Paul M. Achleitner, executive board member Benoit Couere of the European Central Bank, Vernon E. Jordan Jr. of asset management firm Lazard Freres & Co. LLC, CEO Rudolf Scholten of Oesterreichische Kontrollbank, and Bjorn Wahlroos of Nordea Bank.

The Independent notes that a few political rising stars have emerged from Bilderberg conferences in the past, including Arkansas governor Bill Clinton in 1991, and U.K. shadow minister Tony Blair in 1993. “Conference organisers have previously insisted there is no conspiracy to crowbar their chosen people into top jobs, they just have excellent talent spotters.”

In addition to Clinton chum Vernon Jordan, ZeroHedge notes that many of the Bilderberg attendees have paid Hillary Clinton millions in speaking fees, and suspects the presence of Lindsey Graham is another sign that helping Clinton prevail over Donald Trump will be a “prominent topic of discussion.”

ZeroHedge also observes that secret participants whose names do not appear on the official guest list are not unheard of, suggesting that German Chancellor Angela Merkel might be one such quiet attendee this year, given that Europe’s migrant crisis is on the agenda.

Conspiracy theorists claim the Bilderberg Group is a cabal of 130 of the world’s most powerful public and private crony leaders plotting for global domination, but this year’s meeting is all about leaders trying to save globalism from Brexit.

The “Bilderberg 16” conference opened at the Taschenbergpalais hotel in Dresden on June 19. More than 400 police surrounded the area to restrain protestors who believe the group wants maximizes profits for the elite while destroying the middle class.

The organization began with a 1954 meeting at Holland’s Hotel de Bilderberg. The goal was to curb socialist anti-Americanism by promoting “Atlanticism” that would to foster political, economic, and defense cooperation between the United States and Western Europe. The Bilderberg Group set out to “bolster a consensus around free market Western capitalism and its interests around the globe.”

The group succeeded beyond their wildest imagination with the 1989 implosion of the Soviet Union, the 1991 dismantling of the Warsaw Pact, and the opening of Western trade with communist China.

But rather than declaring victory and going out of business, the Bilderbergs simply began pushing globalized trade and interventions. They supported the 1992 passage of the “Maastricht Treaty” that rolled 28 nations and 508 million people into the European Union that featured unimpeded movement of people and products. They also encouraged the global expansion of NATO’s missions.

The Bilderbergs championed the rise of globalism through the 1994 formation of the 123-nation World Trade Organization that drastically reduced tariffs and internationalized trade dispute resolution. This pro-commerce environment helped world trade increase tenfold between 1980 and 2007, propelling economic growth in China, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Globalized trade has been a home run for the multinational corporate interests that dominate the Bilderberg Group. But after an initial burst of prosperity associated with massive technology transfer to the emerging markets, globalized trade appears to have cut U.S. and Europe Union economic growth, while spiking income inequality.

The 1999 introduction of the Euro currency eventually led to almost a decade of the PIIGS’ (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain) sovereign debt crisis, which also exposed Northern Europe’s unwillingness to continuously subsidize the south.

The hottest topic at this year’s Bilderberg conference will be the June 23 Brexit referendum, where voters can demand the U.K. quit the EU’s Euro-government. Stratfor Global Intelligence traces the roots of the crisis to the Bilderberg supported 2004 enlargement of the EU, and the ensuing wave of Polish migration to the United Kingdom.

Despite European open-border mandates, the accelerating immigration crisis across the EU has forced national political leaders to appease their citizens by re-erecting border controls that restrict the flow of low-wage workers and foreign refugees across their territory.

To the dismay of the Bilderbergs after 70 years of trying to suppress nation states, Stratfor argues that the ascendant forces within Europe are national and that is forcing countries to put their own interests first:

“Over the centuries, great empires have risen and fallen, leaving behind distinct groups of people with different histories, languages and cultures. Any project attempting to fuse these disparate cultures into one monolithic state over the course of just 70 years would inevitably encounter insurmountable levels of nationalistic resistance and eventually the project would stall. That is the point where we now find ourselves.”

Even the wildly pro-EU ‘Economist Magazine’ latest poll shows the leave the EU faction with a slight lead.

Notwithstanding the furious efforts of British Prime Minister David Cameron to paint a Brexit vote as a disaster, only 25 percent of British voters believe that leaving the EU will result in lower living standards. But a powerful 63 percent majority in Britain believe that leaving the EU will reduce immigration.
