Most urgent inside Bilderberg 2010 is the instability surrounding the Euro, which is threatening to unravel, and take the momentum for further regional integration and global currency with it. More gravely, veteran Jim Tucker has told the Alex Jones Show that many attendees inside Bilderberg were very supportive of initiating the long-boiling war with Iran. According to inside sources, even a nuclear strike was not off the table.
Further, it was disclosed that many members declined to attend this year because public awareness has reached a significant enough level that political pressure has been put on figures who attend, perhaps for the first time ever. Many officials were ’scared’ of potential scrutiny.
The overall panicked atmosphere over economic issues during the previous year– most dramatically demonstrated by IMF riots in Greece– has signaled a loss of control, while public anger has spread globally. This year, Bilderberg is also concerned about significant protests outside its own meeting, as well as increasing media coverage of Bilderberg. Mainstream media outlets have begun taking notice: the Drudge Report is linking to coverage; Charlie Skelton has initiated a second year of coverage for the London Guardian; Russia Today has done extensive coverage; speakers are demanding answers about Bilderberg inside the European Parliament.
This attitude carries over to eyewitness accounts of conversation inside the hotel. A ranking member of the conference organizers– the secretariat employees working on behalf of the powerful group– were overheard by London Guardian reporter Charlie Skelton discussing the ’scary’ presence of one Alex Jones who bullhorned the meetings in both 2006 and 2008. These people also joined in lamenting the growing number of protesters who had begun surrounding the hotels across the world during recent years of the conference.
The popular uprising and political dissent via tea parties, “Truthers” and Bilderberg critics have, if nothing else, contributed to the rising tide of voters throwing out incumbents and demonstrating furious anger at both Wall Street and Washington. Part and parcel with this is the near-total failure of the globalists’ agenda for world government at Copenhagen, failure to pass Climate Change taxation schemes and the widespread rejection of phony “global warming” rhetoric and public anger over the cooked data exposed by the Climategate scandal last fall.
This meshes with the melancholy tone of former National Security Advisor and Trilateral Commission co-founder Zbigniew Brzeziski, who recently lamented before his audience at the Council on Foreign Relations that, for the first time in history, “Mankind is now politically awakened and stirring.” He further warned that the rise of China and other powers had forever compromised any hopes for a unipolar world hegemony dictated solely by the Anglo-American elite.

Last week was a good week for the so-called “constitutional wing” of the Republican Party, those indomitable Ron Paul people. Okay, sure, the next presidential election is a long way off but a recent snapshot taken by pollsters shows a surprising opening for the Texas congressman, the man who says that the Federal Reserve should be audited. The general public is moving toward Ron Paul, even if most of them don’t even know who he is.
According to a recent Gallup Poll 50% of all Americans don’t think Obama deserves re-election. Only 38% think he does. 65% think that most members of Congress don’t deserve re-election. Three of four Americans are dissatisfied with the direction of the country. (As reported in USA Today, April 1, 2010.)
Meanwhile, 48% of Americans think that Sarah Palin is not ready to be president. 29% think she is.
And what gives the Ron Paul campaign an opening is how equally angry the public is with both political parties. For the first time a majority of the public puts both Republicans and Democrats in the unfavorable column. (Ibid.) A pox on both of their houses. It is a complaint that Ron Paul has been making for years.
Some in the country now see the spending programs of the Obama administration as only “payoffs” to political constituencies. Unemployment and the home mortgage crisis remain not only unresolved but untended. Even the most cursory tweaks that could have helped the mortgage crisis were ignored as the administration rushed to get the candy off the shelves before they were thrown out of the store.
But again, all that doesn’t mean that voters like Republicans any better. More Americans still blame George W. Bush for the economic crisis than blame Barack Obama.
The new healthcare bill upsets Republican conservatives who see it as a gigantic lurch toward socialism. Not to mention its trillion dollar price tag which comes on top of what they see as a massive political giveaway, labeled the “Obama stimulus plan.” And Democratic liberals defend healthcare by pointing out that it only equates to the cost of the Iraq War. “Which is more important?” they ask, “The healthcare of the nation, or the personal war to avenge the Bush family honor?” (See: Why Bush invaded Iraq.)
But Ron Paul, who says our wars in Islamic countries create ten new terrorists for everyone they kill, wouldn’t have had us involved in either one, a neat savings of $ 2 trillion, not to mention a few thousand lives. And at least for the moment, polls back him up. More than 50% still favor ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The greatest public anger still simmers over the bank bailouts. And it represents a deep suspicion of anything establishment. Peggy Noonan refers to a new “gilded age,” referring to a time when rich barons pillaged the economy and the American masses languished in poverty. Theodore Roosevelt tried to break up the monopolies as one of the nation’s first “trust busters” and, ironically, FDR, his liberal Democratic cousin, made a similar effort. A recent biographer entitled his book about Franklin Roosevelt as “A Traitor to His Class.”
What is appalling has been the shift of wealth from millions to a few, and the international looting of America. This includes not only a shift of wealth to the Islamic, oil producing nations and the gigantic economic tilt toward China and to a lesser extent, India, but also the raid of the middle class within the US economy by other Americans.
Where has the money come from for these decades of $20-50 million a year salaries? A recent figure determined that the median pay for even a corporate CEO is now $ 6.6 million.
The answer? Millions of retirees and common Americans have paid for this gigantic shift in wealth as their IRA’s and retirement funds have dropped, manipulated by corrupt brokerages for the benefit of “insider” investors. Several trillion dollars in real estate wealth has been wiped from the books, again a loss of net worth to the middle class.
What makes matters worse? The rich don’t pay taxes, their political donations assure the right loopholes in congressional law. The only revenues come from the middle class workers who have seen their net worth vanish and are now hoarding every dollar they get or using it to pay back debts. And the Obama administration seems intent on taking their last scraps. So the poor are next to suffer.
With a shrinking tax base schools and government run hospitals are closing their doors and goods and services for the poor are disappearing. The Post Office is again raising prices and will soon decide whether or not to cut out a day of delivery. A survey of 155 bus and subway agencies found that 84% are considering cutting services and raising fees. Now 15 states have put court employees on extended furloughs. Jurors in Minnesota are now only paid $10 a day. Swift justice, as in future healthcare, will only be luxuries for the very rich.
The country is ready. The man who pulled an upset to win the straw poll at CPAC, need only pull another one at the Iowa Cavalcade, 15 months from now, to be thrust into national prominence. The people are ready for some accountability. But the Wall Street bankers and establishment leaders in the Boston-New York- Washington corridor are watching. The Ron Paul CPAC victory sent shock waves through their ranks. Don’t expect to see or hear about the Ron Paul revolution on the television news. The people who stand to lose from accountability are not about to help his cause.
Meanwhile, last week Democrat congressman Phil Hare told a hometown Illinois audience who questioned the legality of the new healthcare plan that he is “not worried about the constitution.” When there was the predictable avalanche of outrage on YOUTUBE, the congressman quickly insisted that his comments were “taken out of context.” Really? What context would that be?
The Hare episode was a glorious metaphor for an incredible week for the Paulistas. The television networks can refuse to mention “he who cannot be named” and others can steal his Tea Party and try to sell it to the candidate who makes the highest bid but Ron Paul has one advantage that the political spinners and operatives keep missing. He is right on the issues. And he has hardly changed his positions in a lifetime of public service. This gives him an immeasurable advantage over Obama and Palin. The country is moving to him, not the other way around.
And Ron Paul has one other ally. “Events.” Day by day, month by month, events are working, side by side, with Ron Paul, to prove him right and send his political star rising into orbit.
Digg it!

In 1951, a quiet, picturesque village in southern France was suddenly and mysteriously struck down with mass insanity and hallucinations. At least five people died, dozens were interned in asylums and hundreds afflicted.
For decades it was assumed that the local bread had been unwittingly poisoned with a psychedelic mould. Now, however, an American investigative journalist has uncovered evidence suggesting the CIA peppered local food with the hallucinogenic drug LSD as part of a mind control experiment at the height of the Cold War.
The mystery of Le Pain Maudit (Cursed Bread) still haunts the inhabitants of Pont-Saint-Esprit, in the Gard, southeast France.
On August 16, 1951, the inhabitants were suddenly racked with frightful hallucinations of terrifying beasts and fire.
One man tried to drown himself, screaming that his belly was being eaten by snakes. An 11-year-old tried to strangle his grandmother. Another man shouted: “I am a plane”, before jumping out of a second-floor window, breaking his legs. He then got up and carried on for 50 yards. Another saw his heart escaping through his feet and begged a doctor to put it back. Many were taken to the local asylum in strait jackets.
Time magazine wrote at the time: “Among the stricken, delirium rose: patients thrashed wildly on their beds, screaming that red flowers were blossoming from their bodies, that their heads had turned to molten lead.”
Eventually, it was determined that the best-known local baker had unwittingly contaminated his flour with ergot, a hallucinogenic mould that infects rye grain. Another theory was the bread had been poisoned with organic mercury.
However, H P Albarelli Jr., an investigative journalist, claims the outbreak resulted from a covert experiment directed by the CIA and the US Army’s top-secret Special Operations Division (SOD) at Fort Detrick, Maryland.
The scientists who produced both alternative explanations, he writes, worked for the Swiss-based Sandoz Pharmaceutical Company, which was then secretly supplying both the Army and CIA with LSD.
Mr Albarelli came across CIA documents while investigating the suspicious suicide of Frank Olson, a biochemist working for the SOD who fell from a 13th floor window two years after the Cursed Bread incident. One note transcribes a conversation between a CIA agent and a Sandoz official who mentions the “secret of Pont-Saint-Esprit” and explains that it was not “at all” caused by mould but by diethylamide, the D in LSD.
While compiling his book, A Terrible Mistake: The Murder of Frank Olson and the CIA’s Secret Cold War Experiments, Mr Albarelli spoke to former colleagues of Mr Olson, two of whom told him that the Pont-Saint-Esprit incident was part of a mind control experiment run by the CIA and US army.
After the Korean War the Americans launched a vast research programme into the mental manipulation of prisoners and enemy troops.
Scientists at Fort Detrick told him that agents had sprayed LSD into the air and also contaminated “local foot products”.
Mr Albarelli said the real “smoking gun” was a White House document sent to members of the Rockefeller Commission formed in 1975 to investigate CIA abuses. It contained the names of a number of French nationals who had been secretly employed by the CIA and made direct reference to the “Pont St. Esprit incident.” In its quest to research LSD as an offensive weapon, Mr Albarelli claims, the US army also drugged over 5,700 unwitting American servicemen between 1953 and 1965.
Make a donation to her small time campaign today!
On Feb. 15th, 2010, Texans will remember that day by collectively contributing to the one gubernatorial candidate who will truly respect, “protect and defend” that Constitution from those who would do it harm. That candidate is Debra Medina!
On that precious day, Texas’ Founding Fathers, who fought so hard and died for Texas’ freedom from Mexico, helped establish our Texas to be “a free and independent State, subject only to the Constitution of the United States”. This Constitutional Republic would respect the rights of all individuals, as well as the sovereignty of Texas, from all unconstitutional mandates from Washington, DC.
Unfortunately today, we no longer have elected leaders who believe in such principles – at least not in the Governor’s seat! Instead, our leaders believe it perfectly normal to steal land, restrict gun rights, ignore the existence of a southern border, force untested medical treatments on our daughters, and allow the Federal Government to walk all over our contract with them known as the U.S. Constitution.
Now we have a chance to turn that all around – to finally bring back the Texas that was meant to be and restore liberty, once again, to our great state!
Please join us this February 15th for Debra Medina’s largest one-day donation event ever! Texas needs 1,000 patriots to commemorate the freedom of Texas by pledging to contribute $25, $50, $100 (or whatever you can afford!) to the campaign of Debra Medina on that day – donating at her website: www.MedinaforTexas.com. Together, we can help secure the Liberties that our children will one day thank us for…
Let’s make Texas Campaign HISTORY!!!
The most recent BusinessPulse Survey asked readers if the primary election were today, who would win their vote. Out of the 1,582 that answered, 31 percent picked Tea Party favorite Medina compared with 26 percent choosing Perry.
Amazing!
