Bilderberg 2008 evades all scrutiny in Vouliagmeni,

Greece – incl. mp3 report

Well the old tricksters did it this year. They evaded all our efforts to track them down to a precise date and venue.

There has been a lot of Bilderberg searching activity on the forum https://217.72.179.7/members/www.bilderberg.org/phpBB2

including examination of bilderbergers’ schedules, checking of hotels but no definite answer.

PEPIS bulletin 96 includes the following items too:-

1. Johann Hari: The loathsome smearing of Israel’s critics
2. Listen to drunk Ex UK Home Secretary John Reid MP who wants me to “stop hankering” the Bilderbergers
3. Illuminati in a nutshell
4. My printable Revelation timeline and guide
5. War & black magic Special featuring author and WWII hero Dennis Wheatley

Whilst I had been displaying this at the top of the Bilderberg.org front page as a possible venue and date for a week or so Bilderberg researchers such as Marek Tysis, Jim Tucker and myself simply did not have enough hard facts to pin them down beforehand.

The trouble is that this year particularly all the key Bilderberg people have been keeping very quiet about their future plans. In past years they have been relatively open about where they were planning to be and it’s then quite a simple matter to identify gaps in the schedules of, say the boss of the European Central Bank and the Queen of the Netherlands, that coincide.

Marek Tysis believed, rightly as it transpired, that it would be in Vouliagmeni, Greece in one of the first two weekends of May. What they were talking about we may never know. Let’s hope at least SOMEBODY who realises that these people are where war and money meets and far too close to the Nazis (through Prince Bernhard and the occult connections particularly) has got some leaks.

What are they planning for us this year then? We might guess that Henry Kissinger has had problems with his War on Terror because nobody is believing it is anything other than a US, Israeli and British grab for empire. A continuation of Hitler’s diseased dream of an occult empire to rival the extent of the old British Empire and Commonwealth and all the psychological pressure is now being piled on Gordon Brown who is not playing ball with the Bilderbergers’ fascistic ‘consensus’.

There is not a lot of doubt in my mind that the immense power that Bilderberg wields is ultimately satanic. One could pick a random homeless tramp on the streets of London to preside over such a conference you would get more common sense in his little finger than all the Bilderberg Steering committee have in their collective greedy bodies.

Maybe that is what is needed. A jubilee of renewal to remove these despots and their freemasonic underlings from the committees that select candidates for the political parties.

What seemed a real political hope in the UK, the Liberal Democrat Party has somehow got itself a City of London stooge, Nick Clegg, in charge now so has made itself unelectable just a the time when it could have swept to power because of voter hatred of both Labour and Tory parties.

Israel too is ‘celebrating’ 60 years of existence and as such 60 years of terrorism, horror and hatred of the arabs. The Jewish people don’t want it but what can they do with a fanatical far right Zionist government there. Jews are in exactly the same bind as the rest of us. Democracy has been stealthily and deliberately undermined in Israel just as in the US and Britain and Europe by Secret Societies operating within the ‘cover’ of freemasonry.

The Beijing Olympics looming appears something like the Berlin Olympics of 1936. A derisory show of male and female machismo with a few who will be this year’s Jesse Owens?

So Bilderberg may have been successful in stopping scrutiny of themselves this year, no participant list, nothing whatsoever has emerged. And that bodes extremely ill for the coming Summer and Autumn. Whatever bloodcurdling warstarting event, whether or not connected with the Beijing Olympics, and whether or not leading to a global crash which will make a few people very very rich, you can be sure they will be in the know. Which means that Bilderberg is culpable, there’s a lot of bucks riding on this. That is why they do everything they can, with their limitless supply of money, to keep these meetings out of the public eye.

What we need of course is a united front such as that which has formed in South America, probably because they have been the subject of so much evil and illegal US interference. A united front based on a media free of racist Zionist moles and on an understanding of the true facts behind 9/11 which kicked off all this ‘War on Resistance Fighters’ madness. It really is as if the war is against the plucky partisans and leaders of the French Resistance to Nazi occupation.

So it doesn’t take a lot of imagination, once you’ve joined the Nazi dots, to see where Henry Kissinger and Bilderberg are coming from. His present company, Kissinger Associates, is the biggest protection racket on the planet and the UN eats out of its hands, that means the UN Charter and the Geneva Conventions have been torn to pieces by these people, paving the way for mass slaughter and maybe a little more power. Kissinger gets kudos from his impunity and Rockefeller, Rothschild and his financial backers and other underground friends are egged on to further madness by our gullibility. Then their is their love of Eugenics, what more proof do we need? How much more can we forget?

They want a more subtly spun global version of what Hitler had in the early 1940s and they are not going to get it because the human spirit will not have it. But they are so greedy and determined, indeed psychopathic in their goal, that they would rather pull our whole beautiful God-given world down around our heads than allow us to be the free people we were made to be. The real solutions to the problem of wage slavery, poverty, are so simple as to be almost obvious. Land reform and money reform, putting land back into the hands of those who need it as a free gift to mankind. Taking the power to issue money out of private corporate hands

Well I said it was a rant!

Apparent meeting in Athens last weekend was a ruse as suspected
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet

A Dutch newspaper is reporting that Holland’s Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende (pictured) and Minister of Foreign Affairs Maxime Verhagen are set to attend the annual Bilderberg conference in Washington DC from June 5-8, apparently confirming that a recent alleged Bilderberg meeting in Athens Greece was merely a ruse.

As we reported on Tuesday, a Greek newspaper claimed that Bilderberg had met in Athens last weekend, but Bilderberg sleuths Jim Tucker and Daniel Estulin, both of whom have always successfully determined the location of the Bilderberg meeting in advance for decades, questioned the accuracy of the report.

Bilderberg occasionally attempts to throw investigative journalists off the scent by having a mock steering meeting in advance of the actual meeting, diverting attention away from the location where their undemocratic scheming will take place.

If the Dutch report is to be believed, Bilderberg will meet in Chantilly, which was also the site of their 2002 conference. Six years ago the Westfields Marriott hotel was chosen to stage the confab and its likely the same venue will be selected again.

A rough translation of the Dutch news report reads as follows.

Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende and Minister of Foreign Affairs Maxime Verhagen from 5 to 8 June a visit to the U.S. capital Washington.

On June 5 they received at the White House by President Bush. The Government has indicated that Friday.

Topics at the meeting with Bush would include the international political situation, including developments in Afghanistan, and economic cooperation between the United States and the Netherlands.

Following Balkenende takes part in the annual Bilderberg meeting, which this time will be held at Chantilly, near Washington.

Russia: giant of a new economic world order

The ‘Bric’ economies have captured the headlines, but India and China have so far won the lion’s share. What about the other half of the acronym? Here, Heather Connon witnesses a revolutionary era in Moscow

Two decades ago, Russians would always have a string bag known as an avoska – a just-in-case bag – tucked in their pocket ‘just in case’ they spotted some oranges or other consumer staple for sale in the normally empty shops and market stalls. These days, Muscovites are as likely as Manchester United and Chelsea fans to be sporting carrier bags from GUM, the 242m-long shopping mall that runs along the eastern side of Red Square and is crammed with labels from Hugo Boss to Russian specialist shops.

Russia is booming: there are more ‘6 series’ BMWs in Moscow than in any other city in the world and there is barely a Lada to be seen among the Mercedes, Audis and Range Rovers that clog its congested streets; within the next year or two, Russia will overtake Germany to become the world’s biggest car market.

It is not just cars. Ordinary Russians are snapping up everything from baby-food to designer bags as they splash out with their newfound wealth; average earnings have been growing by around 20 per cent a year and consumption has been following close behind. At around $8,500 (£4,300) a year, average earnings are still low by Western standards but they are stratospheric compared with a decade ago, when the average was less than $1,100 and a greater proportion of the population had to get by on less than $1 a day than in India.

Disposable income is also higher than that suggests, given that tax is at a flat rate of 13 per cent and, with every Russian having been given their own flat or house free as the Soviet era ended, mortgages and consumer debts are rare. It is not hard to work out the reason for the transformation: gold, both black and yellow. Russia vies with Saudi Arabia to be the largest oil producer in the world: it has the second-largest oil reserves in the world, the largest gas reserves and the fourth-largest gold reserves. Just over a decade ago, oil was trading at around $10 a barrel; last week it passed through $135 for the first time. Over the same period, the price of gold more than trebled, to over $900 an ounce.

No wonder Vladimir Putin was described as the lucky President: his elevation to that role in 1990 coincided with the commodity boom and his skill in riding it means that, after two terms as President, he has just been elected Prime Minister and can still claim unprecedented popularity ratings.

He deserves plaudits for managing the economy’s growth. He arrived two years after Russia stunned international investors by defaulting on its debts, triggering a collapse in the rouble and a crisis in emerging markets across the world. Growth has since averaged a healthy 7 per cent a year and some commentators say it is the world’s most successful economy. Putin has also husbanded the resource wealth wisely: the stabilisation fund, designed to conserve the oil and gas windfall and to prevent it distorting the rest of the economy, reached almost $160bn by the end of 2007, while Russia has also built up the world’s third-largest foreign exchange reserves.

Oil is undoubtedly crucial. It accounts for two-thirds of exports, a quarter of GDP and half of Russia’s stock market. But the challenge facing Putin and Dmitry Medvedev, his handpicked, and some fear henpecked, successor as president, is to demonstrate that the country is more than simply a resources play and that they have effected a more lasting transformation of the economy.

Russia’s growth strategy will be familiar to anyone who has studied the spectacular growth in China and India: enriching and empowering its 140 million consumers while investing to improve its decrepit infrastructure.

There is still plenty of scope for boosting consumer demand: Yaroslav Lissovolik, chief economist at Deutsche Bank in Russia, says: ‘Moscow is Russia’s showcase. Outside Moscow, there is a very different picture.’ Tyumen Oblast, heartland of the Siberian oil barons, is the next-wealthiest area but is just half as rich as the capital, while the poorest areas could have as little as 4 per cent of Moscow’s wealth per capita. But the cities outside Moscow are now growing far more rapidly and Medvedev aims to increase the proportion of the middle classes from the current 20 per cent to half.

The housing market illustrates just one area of opportunity: while everyone owns their home, the stock is decrepit. Two-thirds of the housing stock is more than 30 years old – many of the five-storey apartment blocks erected during the Khrushchev era during the 1960s and designed to last just 20 years are only now being demolished – and almost 40 per cent of Russians have no running water or sewage systems in their homes.

Putin is promising between 70 and 80 million square feet of new housing by 2010, 10 million of that state housing, so that the number of Russians who can afford to buy a new house should rise to a third, from the current 5 per cent. That should fuel a dramatic increase in mortgages; the number has been doubling annually and, on Putin’s targets, should grow to a million within two years. Consumer credit, too, has been surging as Russians are losing their suspicion that banks are where you risk losing your money and realise they could instead offer a way for them to buy cars or upgrade their houses.

‘The wealth effect is trickling down,’ says Robin Geffen, managing director of emerging market specialist Neptune Investment Management. He points to the recent rapid growth of Aeroflot, the state airline, which has increased its domestic air traffic – where it has a stranglehold – by 18 per cent. ‘It has a young and dynamic management which has responsibility for revitalising what was a pretty antiquated company.’

He can see plenty of opportunities among companies like this, which are being built up by a new class of entrepreneur and are prospering from the growing consumer wealth.

Infrastructure spending is also being stepped up – and it is much needed. Roland Nash, managing director and head of research at Russian investment specialists Renaissance Capital, says that only one in 10 requests for access to the power grid is approved, while the number of airports has plunged from 1,300 in the Soviet era to 300. Road and rail services are poor, with virtually no connections from the north to the south – a key route for trade with China.

The biggest challenge is to manage this spending without fuelling the already rapidly rising inflation. With food accounting for around 40 per cent of the average Russian basket compared with between 10 and 20 per cent for developed countries, the impact of soaring food prices is much more severe and inflation, having been falling, is creeping up towards 15 per cent again.

‘They do need to get inflation under control,’ says Elena Shaftan, manager of Jupiter’s New Europe fund. ‘In Russia, it is being driven by the same forces as everywhere else – food – but the government has not helped with the massive spending before the election in December.’ She adds that the inflation-fighting Prime Minister remains in his job.

She is also relatively sanguine about the other key concern for Russian investors: the role of the state. Few dispute the fact that, during the 1990s, the Russian oligarchs were given state assets too cheaply and much of the current focus is on ensuring that does not happen again.

Last week, BP’s Moscow offices were raided again and both it and Shell have experienced problems with their oil joint ventures there. But, says Shaftan, the key factor is that the regime is both ’stable and predictable’. While not everyone may agree with the way Putin operates or the role of state-controlled resource companies, Shaftan says everyone should know the state of play. ‘If you listen and abide by the rules, you are fine.’

Britain loses 100 unmanned aircraft in Iraq and Afghanistan

IAN BRUCE, Defence Correspondent

CommentBritain has lost almost 100 unmanned surveillance aircraft – including a £10m Reaper which had been in service for less than six months – over Iraq and Afghanistan since 2003, The Herald can reveal.

The equipment the robot spy planes carry is so sophisticated and so vital for intelligence-gathering that commanders have ruled it an acceptable risk to launch rescue missions to retrieve it to prevent it falling into enemy hands.

At least one British soldier, Captain James Philippson, of 7 Parachute Regiment, Royal Horse Artillery, was killed by Taliban gunfire when his patrol arrived to rescue another group ambushed while trying to recover top-secret sensors from a crashed drone near Sangin in 2006.

The unmanned aerial vehicle losses include about 50 which were shot down or suffered catastrophic mechanical failure in mid-air and another 40 damaged beyond repair by crash-landing on rough terrain.

The Ministry of Defence admits that 33 have been lost over Iraq, although it has not released details of the types of robot spy planes brought down by enemy fire, severe weather or internal faults.

At least 23 of the older and notoriously unreliable Phoenix drones used to locate enemy positions and movement for artillery bombardment were downed during the combat phase of the Iraq invasion in 2003.

Le Sahara se serait formé lentement et pourrait reverdir

Par Jean-Luc Goudet, Futura-Sciences

En étudiant les sédiments d’un minuscule lac au Tchad, une équipe internationale a découvert les traces d’une aridification dix fois plus lente que ce que l’on pensait. Selon les chercheurs, le Sahara serait déjà en train de reverdir… à cause du réchauffement global.

Plus grand désert du monde, le Sahara était verdoyant il y a six mille ans. Sur ce point, tout le monde est d’accord. Mais en combien de temps cette zone humide est-elle devenue si aride ? La théorie prévalant jusqu’à aujourd’hui affirmait que l’assèchement avait démarré vers 5.500 ans avant le présent et s’était déroulé sur une période très courte, de quelques siècles seulement. Pour établir cette conclusion, les scientifiques se basaient sur des modèles et sur les résultats d’un carottage effectué au large de la Mauritanie. Sous le sable saharien en effet, les traces biologiques et sédimentaires sont rares.

Une équipe internationale, menée par Stefan Kröpelin, de l’université de Cologne, s’est, elle, rendue sur place. Quelque part au nord de Tchad, à l’est de N’Djamena subsiste une petite étendue d’eau de 3,5 kilomètres carrés, le lac Yoa, encore alimenté par des réservoirs d’eau souterrains, souvenirs de la période humide. Sous ses 24 mètres de profondeur, le lac a conservé dans les sédiments les archives des derniers millénaires.

L’équipe a pu y consulter l’évolution de la faune et de la flore en creusant jusqu’à neuf mètres sous le fond de l’eau. Remontant à l’époque où poussaient des fougères, des acacias et des graminées, les paléontologues ont pu reconstituer le changement climatique qu’a connu la région. Surprise, le scénario inscrit dans les sédiments ne ressemble pas du tout à celui des modèles.

Le départ est le même : à la fin de la dernière période glaciaire, les températures augmentent. L’air plus chaud absorbant davantage d’humidité, l’atmosphère se charge d’eau durant les moussons qui vont déverser leurs pluies beaucoup plus loin, jusqu’au Sahara, lequel en verdit de plaisir. C’était il y a 12.500 ans. La paradis vert a peu duré, à cause du rayonnement solaire semble-t-il, dont l’intensité s’est réduite il y a 7.000 ans. Les températures ont un peu baissé mais, surtout, les moussons sont devenues moins abondantes et les pluies se sont raréfiées. Le Sahara s’est alors asséché. Mais pas brutalement ! Les données recueillies au fond du lac Yoa indiquent que le climat a évolué progressivement pendant plus de trois mille ans, entre 6.000 et 2.700 ans avant le présent.

L’humidité reviendra-t-elle ?

Cette durée est près de dix fois supérieure à la valeur admise jusque-là mais elle reste rapide à l’échelle des temps géologiques, de l’évolution de la vie et même de l’histoire des civilisations humaines. Plantes, animaux et hommes n’ont sans doute pas pu s’adapter à un changement si rapide, et ont dû, littéralement, déserter la région en migrant vers le nord et vers le sud. La civilisation égyptienne s’est développée à cette période. Est-ce une coïncidence ?

L’idéal serait maintenant de confirmer ces résultats par des sondages dans d’autres dépôts. Mais les chercheurs n’espèrent pas en trouver. « Si quelqu’un voit un autre lac [saharien] dans Google Earth, qu’il nous prévienne » plaisante Stefan Kröpelin dans le magazine en ligne de Science.

D’après ce spécialiste allemand, l’histoire continue. Le réchauffement climatique renforce les moussons et les conditions se rapprocheraient selon lui de celles de la fin de la période glaciaire. Un air chaud et humide pourrait très bien favoriser la recolonisation du Sahara par la végétation. Stefan Kröpelin pense même que ce reverdissement a déjà commencé en certains endroits…

Anti Islam Islamophobia Italy Demolishes Verona Mosque

Italy’s far-right, anti-immigrant Northern League party has started its mission in the new government with bringing down a mosque in the northern city of Verona.

“[The mosque destruction] reinforces Muslim fears of seeing the League in the ruling coalition,” Ali Abu Shwaima, the head of Milan-based Islamic Centre, told.

Bulldozers brought down last week a building housing a Muslim prayer room in the city.

“I never felt at ease with this mosque,” Elisonder Antonneli, the head of Verona city council, said.

“This place will be turned into a park and a car parking space and will be named after (Italian writer) Oriana Fallaci.”

Fallaci, who died in 2006, was notorious for anti-Islam stances.

Following the 9/11 attacks, the far-right writer published a book entitled “Rage and Pride” in which she ridiculed the Noble Qur’an.

She has also authored another book “The Force of Reason” in which she warned that Europe was turning into “an Islamic province, an Islamic colony” and that “to believe that a good Islam and a bad Islam exist goes against all reason.”

The Northern League has four ministers in Silovio Berlusconi’s government, including the portfolio of the Interior.

The League grabbed 8 percent of the vote in last month’s general elections, securing Berlusconi’s right-wing coalition a comfortable majority in the parliament.

The party has nearly doubled its parliamentary strength from 4.5 percent two years ago.

The Northern League is widely accused of racism with many critics calling it the BNP of Italy, a reference to the British right-wing party.

Its election campaign played on issues such as immigration crime and economic and cultural fears from immigration.

Hard Time

Abu Shwaima, the Muslim leader, said Italian Muslims will face hard times under the far-right league.

“We believe the life of Italian Muslims will get more complicated,” he said.

He said Muslims in the city of Verona used to find spiritual comfort at the razed mosque.

“The mosque destruction is sign of spiraling Islamophobia in many European countries,” he said.

There are nearly 20,000 Muslims in Verona.

“I used to pray in the mosque for years,” an Italian Muslim in Verona told IOL, requesting anonymity.

“But this Friday I went to the mosque for prayers but I could not as it was razed.

“We live in a state of anticipation and fear after the mosque was destroyed and we want Arab and Muslim governments to pile pressures on Italy to stop anti-immigrant and anti-Islam policies.”

Abu Shwaima, the Muslim leader, has a similar message.

“We want to tell the Muslim world that mosques’ construction in Italy is almost a mission impossible.

“Except for the Milan-based Islamic Center and the Rome mosque, there are no real mosques in Italy.”

Last November, former Italian deputy Education Minister and League member Mariella Mazzetto angered Muslims after parading a pig on the site of a planned mosque in the northern city of Padua.

Two months earlier, League senator Roberto Calderoli called for a “Pig Day” protest against the mosque construction in the northern city of Bologna.

In 2006, protesters left a pig’s head at a mosque building site in the central Italian city of Tuscany.

Italy has a Muslim population of some 1.2 million, including 20,000 reverts, according to unofficial estimates.
