Pat Cox's record of secrecy needs questioned by citizens

Pat Cox should practice transparency before he tries to lecture everybody else on it

Pat Cox should practice transparency before he tries to lecture everybody else on it given his Bilderberg attendance, involvement in Eurostat cover-up, and nondisclosure of professional lobby interests.

I read this to day on a site:
The Farmers for No spokesman David Thompson issued a statement saying today:

Speaking from the Agricultural Science Association Conference today at Castleknock Hotel, Farmers for No spokesman Mr David Thompson, a former president of the Agricultural Science Association said it was ‘quite nauseating to hear Pat Cox lecture conference participants about the importance of transparency today when it certainly appears he does not practice it himself.
‘It is absolutely ludicrous for Pat Cox to be preaching about transparency when he has attended a secret and elitist Bilderberg Meeting in May 2003 at the invitation of Peter Sutherland, after which Cox’s attendance was not officially disclosed.

‘This is the same Pat Cox, who while President of the European Parliament agreed with Romano Prodi that the investigative report into wholesale abuse and corruption of the EU budget, called the EUrostat scandal, be kept secret.

‘Only a select group of MEPs were permitted to see the audit and report, and then only in a darkened room, under surveillance from security guards, having been denied the use of a photocopier, camera or even mobile phone, and after having been forced to sign a declaration promising not to reveal the contents of the report. When a hearing was held to discuss the results, it was Cox and Prodi who ensured that the results of the use of taxpayers' money never became public.

‘Corporate Europe Observatory also recently addressed the subject of Mr Cox's lack of transparency. They pointed out that he is director of two lobby firms, Strategic Consulting firm CAPA Ltd and European Integration Solutions, but has chosen not to register these voluntarily with the European Commission's transparency register.

‘Surely Irish citizens who stand to loose democratic powers in the Lisbon Treaty - and taxpayers who can be taxed by the EU under article 311 Own Resources taxation have a right to greater transparency from those who advocate a Yes vote.
Before Pat Cox lectures people on transparency perhaps he could practice a bit of it himself.
‘The Lisbon Treaty makes EU institutions more powerful but less accountable - this is not a good deal for Irish citizens, and that’s why Farmers for No are advocating a No vote.

‘Pat Cox has personal vested interest in getting a Yes vote. He has been tipped as FF choice for next EU Commissioner - that’s a big job with a big salary. Will he give an assurance in advance that he will not accept the role of Irish commissionership if offered to him?
That would be a bit of transparency if only a start.’

Is it not about time the press revealed Pat Cox, president of Ireland For Europe's dealing with Bilderberg, Eurostat etc.

By the way I not a NWO Fan - i'm just not interested in unproven theories etc, but I still find Bilderberg worrisome from democratic point of view.

Why should Irish people tolerate the non-disclosure of attendance of prominent campaigners at meetings of the globalist elite?

What do you think of Cox's dealings?

Why are these meetings and actions of Cox not aired on national airwaves.

There have been hit jobs on coir, ganley etc etc. Why won't the press ask straight questions about pat cox?

That super secret organisation where the list of attendees is available. And a British journalist walked in the front gate and spoke to people without any problem. If it's a so secret, how was Ronson (can't remember his first name) able to walk in and sit through meetings. Ronson even interviewed Harry Shearer, a Simpsons cast member, who's a regular Grove attendee.

Back to the CT forum with you.

Can you tell me what was discussed at the last Bilderberg meeting then ?

If you take a look at this link :

Why did all this happen to the journalist ?
