By now you have most likely heard of the Bilderberg Group. The shadowy organization that meets once a year, usually at a fine resort somewhere in the world. The security frenzy is immense and unrivaled by any other secret gathering in the world. That's because the attendees are political figures, corporate kings, royalty and global strategists. Up until a few years ago you wouldn't hear a whisper about it from the mainstream media. These days though, it's a lot harder to pull that feat off. A simple Google News search will reveal hundreds of articles about their latest gathering in Spain in early June.
People are whisked in and out in tinted cars through back entrances and underground car ports. Concerned and well-informed citizens dot the thoroughly enforced perimeter with cameras, trying to capture any images that might reveal an identity. No unauthorized people are allowed anywhere near the event. Nothing discussed is made public. A yearly meeting of the most powerful people on the planet and we don't get to know what they talk about. Look at how far we have come since the days of monarchs and dictators.
Canada made a good showing at this year's conference. At least five Canadians attended the four day gathering in Spain earlier this month, including: CBC's Peter Mansbridge; former premier and ambassador Frank McKenna; Robert Prichard, the president of Ontario's Metrolinx; Indigo Books' Heather Reisman; and B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell. At first, Gordon's team wouldn't comment on it. Until the evidence forced them to respond. It was revealed Gordon went on the B.C. taxpayer's dime. Don't worry though. In a vomit-inducing mischaracterization of the annual meeting's far from altruistic purpose, as documented by reporters like Jim Tucker and author Daniel Estulin, Campbell said, "We talked about how is it possible to feed the world and what are the barriers that are in the way of us actually accomplishing that goal." What does he take us for? Complete zombies?
We don't really know why Campbell was at the Bilderberg meeting. Because they won't tell us why they meet. But we do know that interest on public debt costs Canadians $170-million a day. Canada doesn't borrow from the Bank of Canada anymore, it borrows nearly all of it's money from private banks. Banks heavily represented at Bilderberg. To which we owe interest. Up until 1938 we had been borrowing from our own bank at near zero interest.
In 1974, the Canadian government decided to stop borrowing from itself and start borrowing from private banks, essentially undoing the work of Prime Minister Mackenzie King. In 1938, he changed the Bank of Canada from a private company to a crown corporation. It took only 36 years for the bankers to work their way back in. The result was a huge increase in Canadian federal debt from $18-billion to $464-billion in 2009.
Taxes being imposed in B.C. and Ontario like the "Harmonized Sales Tax" shift tax burdens from corporations to working citizens. The HST is just one facet of Canada's push to compete with third-world countries with little or no corporate taxes, fees or regulations. Globalization. The lowering of living standards for the people of the world while increasing corporate profits. Higher taxes on the people will allow the government to pay back the interest to private banks while not upsetting big business, a worthy cause.
Campbell shows his true colors by attending an elite gathering of world power brokers and decision makers. The same type of people that support the bank bail-outs and IMF "austerity measures". The same people who cheer-lead for the off-shoring of jobs to foreign countries. So is Campbell going to listen to the public outcry and the wildly successful anti-HST initiatives? I wonder what his Bilderberg banker cronies would think of that.
