Secretive Bilderbergers meet
Powerful group takes over Ottawa hotel for meeting Power-brokers put Mideast, Iran and oil on their agenda
Jun. 9, 2006. 08:30 AM
ALEXANDER PANETTA
CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA�It's like Woodstock for conspiracy theorists.
A serene suburban setting has been transformed into a four-day festival of black suits, black limousines, burly security guards � and suspicions of world domination.
On the outskirts of the nation's capital, a tony high-rise hotel beside a golf course is hosting the annual meeting for one of the world's most secretive and powerful societies.
It's not the Freemasons.
Forget those fabled U.S. military men who tucked away UFOs in the Arizona desert.
These guys, you've probably never even heard of, and if you believe the camera-toting followers who attend all their meetings, they control the world.
They're called the Bilderberg group.
They include European royalty, national leaders, political power-brokers and heads of the world's biggest companies.
Those who follow the Bilderberg group say it got Europe to adopt a common currency, got Bill Clinton elected after he agreed to support NAFTA and is spending this week deciding what to do about high oil prices and that pesky fundamentalist president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
"Some people say that I advocate a conspiracy theory. That's not true. I recognize a conspiracy fact," said James P. Tucker.
The 74-year-old American journalist has been following the Bilderberg group for decades, has written extensively about it, and recently published his Bilderberg Diary. He follows the group to its meetings and stands outside describing to other journalists details of his privileged access to their inner workings.
He is not alone.
Daniel Estulin snapped photographs of every vehicle that approached the concrete-and-glass complex yesterday. He says Mossad � Israel's spy agency � is paying attention.
Away from the golf course, there are no grassy knolls in the industrial zone outside Ottawa's Brookstreet hotel, the site of this week's meeting, but the scene does nothing to dissuade conspiracists.
Ottawa police officers are standing guard outside a dozen metal gates that serve as security checkpoints a half-kilometre from the hotel.
But Ottawa's finest are clearly not in charge here. To approach the hotel property, even uniformed officers must show their credentials to the half-dozen black-suited men working for Globe Risk, a private security firm.
"This is pretty unusual," one Ottawa cop said.
Another said they were hired to be there in their off-duty hours and weren't told much by their superiors: "They just told us, `These are important people. It's a private meeting.'"
A small crowd of curious onlookers snapped photos of black-windowed sedans stopping at the checkpoints. It was impossible to see who was sitting inside. But fun to imagine.
The Bilderberg group is a half-century-old organization comprising about 130 of the world's wealthiest and most powerful people. The group is named after the Dutch hotel where it held its first meeting in 1954.
But don't expect to find that information on the group's website. They don't have a website.
Nor was the Bilderberg logo anywhere to be seen yesterday, except for those nondescript white placards stamped with the letter `B' and tucked under all those tinted windshields.
A journalist calling the Brookstreet hotel asked to leave a message for the Bilderbergers.
"Sure," a hotel employee said. "Your name and number?"
The journalist then asked whether the employee could confirm the Bilderberg group was actually meeting there.
"I don't know," she replied.
Even members of the hotel gym were barred from the premises. A sign was slapped on the gym door this week informing them the facilities would be closed for four days. All other hotel guests were asked to check out by yesterday morning. Any vehicles remaining in the parking lot would be towed.
Bilderberg says the privacy of its meetings helps encourage freewheeling discussion.
An unsigned press release, sent by fax, confirmed this meeting would deal with energy issues, Iran, the Middle East, terrorism, immigration, Russia, European-American relations and Asia.
"The meeting is private to encourage frank and open discussion," said the release. "There will be no press conference."
The release included a list of participants at this year's event.
The 2006 group includes David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Queen Beatrix of Holland, New York Gov. George Pataki, the heads of Coca-Cola, Credit Suisse, the Royal Bank of Canada, a number of media moguls, and cabinet ministers from Spain and Greece.
The group also includes a pair of prominent figures involved in planning the U.S. invasion of Iraq � Richard Perle and Ahmad Chalabi. White House power-players Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz, now head of the World Bank, have spoken to the group in the past.
But Bilderberg is not exclusively a right-wing body. Bill Clinton's right-hand-man, Vernon Jordan, was also in attendance yesterday, as was his Mideast negotiator Dennis Ross.
The prime ministers of Britain and Canada � Tony Blair and Stephen Harper � have addressed the group before, as have former Liberal PMs Pierre Trudeau, Paul Martin and Jean Chr�tien.
Harper spoke to Bilderberg in Versailles, France, in 2003 but his office said he would not attend this year's conference.
Canada's well represented, however, with Power Corp. boss Paul Desmarais, Indigo books CEO Heather Reisman and former New Brunswick premier Frank McKenna attending.
Globe and Mail newspaper publisher Philip Crawley was also there. However, Bilderberg followers say media moguls whose outlets report leaked details from meetings will see themselves banned in future. |

Bilderberg-bound filmmaker held at airport
Published: Thursday, June 08, 2006
Canadian authorities detained an American activist filmmaker at the Ottawa airport late Wednesday night, confiscating his passport, camera equipment and most of his belongings.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada agents stopped Alex Jones, whose films include Martial Law 9/11: The Rise of the Police State, and questioned him for nearly four hours before letting him go with only one change of clothes and telling him to return Thursday morning.
�It�s really chilling, like a police state,� said Mr. Jones of his detention.
Mr. Jones and his crew, camera operators Ryan Schlickeisen and Aaron Dykes, travelled to Canada to film a documentary about the Bilderberg group, a secretive group of former politicians and business leaders who are meeting in Ottawa this week.
A Citizenship and Immigration representative said that her department was unable to comment on Mr. Jones� detention.
�As a result of the privacy act, we are forbidden from discussing individual cases,� said Marina Wilson, spokesperson for the department. �I�m not aware of this ... (detention) is at the discretion of our visa officers.�
Mr. Jones said that he and the agents had reconciled prior to his release.
�I want to say, on the record, it takes two to tango. I could have handled it better.� |

Alex Jones Detained on Orders of Bilderberg Group
15 hours of hell at the hands of immigration who knew they were coming
Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | June 8 2006
Alex Jones and his team were detained by Canadian immigration on orders of the Bilderberg Group for a 15 hour nightmare of interrogation, accusations and threats of arrests in anticipation of the conference in Ottawa which starts today.
http://www.infowars.com
The group was detained at 11:45pm last night and only released after 2pm today.
Customs openly told Alex as soon as they brought him into custody that the Bilderberg Group was aware of his arrival and that this was the reason for his detainment. All three members of the team were instantly detained despite going through different immigration desks.
Officials knew everything about Alex, even the fact that George W. Bush had once had him arrested in 1998.
"I was screamed at, I was cussed at, I was interrogated," said Alex.
Jail threats were issued as officials seized and searched through Alex's equipment for 15 hours. He was told that if any trace of pornography was found on his three computers that he would be arrested.
"They were talking about how I was a criminal - they hooked our laptop computers up and said that if they found any porn, even mainstream porn, that it's illegal to take it across lines and that we'd be going to jail," said Alex, thanking God that no trace of any porn was found on his office computers.
Searches continued throughout the night and again in the morning.
Immigrations officials seemed to take a gleeful satisfaction in detaining the team, claiming they were liars and not part of the media despite one admitting to having seen an Alex Jones documentary. Accusations of drugs and weapons smuggling were thrown around without recourse.
"You Americans shit all over us Canadians think you can do anything you want to us," said one immigration official who was acting more like a drill sergeant.
Towards the end of the ordeal national media, including the Ottawa Citizen and CBC, got wind of what was unfolding and sent journalists to the airport to talk to Alex.
A CBC journalist vouched for the fact that Alex was in the media and that she was planning on interviewing him, after also being subjected to a barrage of questions by officials.
At this point immigration officials sharply changed their attitude, reversed a likely decision to deport the team and by the end were apologetic and conciliatory about the entire issue.
Alex would like to make it clear that the immigration officials on the whole were just doing what they were told in trying to prove who Alex was and they should not be the focus of any vitriol. Alex himself admits that his behavior was not perfect and he smarted off a couple of times when he should have remained quiet. The major element of this story is that the pressure was brought to bear by Bilderberg.
The point to emphasize again is that it was brazenly stated that the Bilderberg Group were behind the decision to detain Alex and his team. Bilderberg have acquired a notorious reputation of harassing journalists, including Jim Tucker and Daniel Estulin, who are simply trying to report on a meeting of the world's most influential powerbrokers.
The immigrations officials said that their reason for detaining Alex was because they feared he was in the country to infiltrate the Bilderberg meeting.
Since being allowed to enter the country the team have been watched and tracked by several nefarious individuals and also followed by car.
The team booked a decoy hotel in order fool Bilderberg security as to their real location. The decoy hotel has been receiving numerous calls from individuals within Bilderberg's Brooke Street hotel - despite the fact that Alex told no one he was staying there.
Further reports on this incident and developments from the Bilderberg conference itself will feature here over the next few days.

World's Elite Gather To Brainstorm In Secret

OTTAWA -- Greeted at the airport by limousine drivers holding single-letter "B" signs, global luminaries such as Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller and Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands began arriving in Ottawa Thursday for the annual gathering of the ultra-secretive Bilderberg Group.
Over the next three days, they and other prominent political and business leaders from North America and Europe are expected to discuss issues such as the security threat posed by Iran and the direction of oil markets.
The group's discreet approach was evident as attendees arrived at the Ottawa International Airport.
Outside the airport, a phalanx of limousines queued to ferry guests to the Brookstreet Hotel, where security guards with ear pieces kept watch over the barricaded entrance to the hotel parking lot.
Limos were also dispatched to the nearby Shell Aerocentre to retrieve participants arriving on private aircraft. Some attendees had the single-letter "B" on their luggage tags.
Former U.S. defence policy adviser Richard Perle shot down criticism about the secrecy of the group's meetings.
"It's a private organization," he said. He denied the charge, advanced by Bilderberg critics, that the organization crafts public policy behind closed doors.
"It discusses public policy," he said.
Perle also dismissed suggestions the group's heavy representation from the oil industry gives it influence over global energy prices.
"If it did, I'd be trading on oil futures," he said.
A former assistant secretary of defence to President Ronald Reagan, Perle is still considered an influential adviser in U.S. conservative circles. He advised President George W. Bush and is said to be a close friend of Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
In 2003, he publicly chastised the Canadian government for refusing to send troops to Iraq and warned that "lame-duck" Prime Minister Jean Chretien would be embarrassed once weapons of mass destruction were found.
Also seen arriving Thursday were Jorma Ollila, chairman of Royal Dutch Shell, and Egil Myklebust, chairman of Scandinavian Airlines.
According to an unsigned press release, presumably by Bilderberg organizers, attendees will also include New York Governor George Pataki, former Iraqi deputy prime minister Ahmad Chalabi, the heads of Coca-Cola, Credit Suisse, the Royal Bank of Canada, a number of media moguls, and cabinet ministers from Spain and Greece.
The release confirmed this year's meeting will deal with energy issues, Iran, the Middle East, terrorism, immigration, Russia, European-American relations and Asia.
"The meeting is private to encourage frank and open discussion," said the release.
"There will be no press conference."
