    This time of year again not sure if this list is accurate but no doubt we should no doubt see some familiar faces.

    Bilderberg is where the globalist elite crime syndicate all gather together in secret to discuss how to indoctrinate and control the masses to assist in sorting out the worlds problems.

    Well they've been around since the 1950's. Human rights, freedom and equality have all improved since..

    so obviously their indoctrination and controlling methods aren't really working so well.

    freedom ???? LOL. A Picture says a 1000 words, :)

    Zen Gardener writes a good satire about these secret meetings and addresses some of its agendas, nothing new of course including the Gates of Hell and its blueprint to enslave the masses.

    It's all just smoke and mirrors. The hand around our necks only tightens while apologists like jonny work overtime to keep the illusion.

    Well, that's certainly poetic.

    I've no doubt it's true, for all of our history the elites and rich have been authoritarian. In the west, they have made a science of controlling populations without being overtly authoritarian.

    The whole "a picture says a 1000 words" thing doesn't really work if it's a bloody obvious photoshop ad.

    If you insist on linking images, can you please make them real ones, and not a complete and utter waste of time.

    @richie
    Human rights in the Western world are far far far better than what they were in the 1950's. This is a fact.
    There are still hundreds of things wrong with the western world, but our rights are much better than what they once were.

    Don't even try arguing it.

    Yeah but Mao's China and Stalin's Russia were far closer to "enslaving the masses" in the 50's than either are today.

    RTTH have a read about the Stasi, up to 1 in 8 people in East Germany was an agent or connected to the Stasi - that's not even a conspiracy, that's fact, that's what happened, it really was "1984"

    So the communists of 60-odd years ago make this Bilderberg group look like amateurs.

    "You, my son, would also want to take your head out of your arse".

    Do you even have a mobile phone? Are you aware that every text message, email, and site you browse is held under EU data reyention laws and shared with the US under so called fight terrorism bills.

    Here is one from a newspaper and this is 4 years ago which is old news when it comes to this topic.

    How Big Brother watches your every move

    "In our ever-growing surveillance society, the average Briton is being recorded 3,000 times a week. Richard Gray reports".

    "You, my son, would also too want to take your head out of your arse".

    1994 is a workshop manual for today's elite, have you even read the book or watched the movie?

    You are staring straight at a two way TV right now that is recording every you do. The EU and India are ready to e_tag millions of its citizens with smart cards, these are far wore than anything Hitler or Stalin ever came up with. They can hold invisible information, they can be read through clothes, they can be read without your knowledge from a distance through electronic door portals or hand held scanners,

    This 5 year old video will give you a fair insight to what's in store for us in the guise of the RFID EU identity card / Bill Gates global vaccination ID or what ever else these guys at this Bilderberg 2012 meeting want to guise it as. :)

    The media silence about this will be deafening. As usual.

    Check out the laughable teeny tiny wiki page here.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilderberg_Group
    One of my favourite bits on it is this:

    In his 1980 essay The Bilderberg and the West, researcher Peter Thompson argues that the Bilderberg group is a meeting ground for top executives from the world’s leading multinational corporations and top national political figures to consider jointly the immediate and long-term problems facing the West.

    :pac:
    It should read,

    the Bilderberg group is a meeting ground for top executives from the world’s leading multinational corporations and top national political figures to consider jointly the immediate and long-term problems facing the rich.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,333 ✭✭✭RichieC

    I will maintain my skepticism.

    That's false scepticism, there is well enough evidence mounting since the end of WW2 to show more and more centralised control of our societies, increasing use of propaganda and false news to manufacture public opinion.

    Operation northwoods, had that leaked in a free society there would have been revolution! especially after 9/11 happened to use half of the ideas put forward in it. Rice stated "we never imagined someone would use planes to crash into buildings" - a dam lie, it was in the operation northwood document.

    How many people have to die before you grace us with some of this scepticism? South America during the cold war, Vietnam, Iraq?

    It's well known now that the gulf of tonkin incident that lead to the Vietnam war was a pack of lies. nearly 60k Americans sent to their deaths because of it. happy days for the elite who made bombs, though! 7 million tonnes of bombs!

    The stories from an innocent little girl in tears telling us how Sadams army were throwing babies out of incubators to die on the floor, an other pack of lies to sell another war.

    Then the nonsense leading up to the second Gulf war! and the level of narrative control by the US government during it..

    How about Iran contra scandal? not a single day in prison spent by anyone involved. jokingly one guy who in protest stole a street sign named after one of the defendants is said to be the only man to do time for that scandal.

    And now we're inundated day after day with more lies about Iran, and all to convince us we need to spend more money we don't have to basically start WW3.

    We are not free, If we were we'd have done something about these shysters by now. Instead they receive life time achievement presidential medals.

    Over here we get saddled with a generation of debt so that a bunch of bankers can remain in their silken undies, and all while poverty in this country begins to creep back. Oh everyone is "angry" - but it still happens.

    free my hole.

    It did, there wasn't. Assuming that because events didn't play out as you expected therefore something sinister is at work is faulty reasoning, at best.

    And this proves what, exactly? That this is all an elaborate lie or that people in office nearly forty years later don't have that document committed to memory?

    When people start actually putting forward evidence instead of using trite logical fallacies like the above.

    Nope, not "well known" at all. There were two seperate incidents, one real and the other where the Maddox shot at nothing for a few hours.

    Guess what kid, nations are inherently shitty to each other in the pursuit of what they want. And it's been this was since the dawn of time. Pick up a history book some time an have a look at, say, renaissance Italy. Machiavelli wrote "the prince" during this period of time, what is it that makes you think the modern age is any different to then?

    I know it's human nature to believe that the period in which you live is the one where things have been the worst ever, but that's just natural biases at work.
    The same way people think summers used to be longer or that kids were better behaved back in their day.

    If we're not free how are you allowed to continue to so 'bravely' crusade onwards? I would have thought with the complete lack of freedoms you're supposedly living under that such dissent wouldn't be tolerated?
    I'm not being serious, of course, your continued existence makes no case either way, but I just wanted to try using your reasoning for a second.
    It's fun, I'll give you that.

    But, once again, because things have not played out as you've imagined they ought to is evidence of nothing more than events not playing out as you believe they ought to. And nothing more.

    I'm sorry you take the liberties you have for granted, but puerile, populist rage is not evidence of anything other than you are angry.
    Not convincing I'm afraid, no matter how self evident your anger makes these things to you.

    I do love the consistent pattern whereby on meeting the slightest resistance to the notion that your screed is a totally self evident truth the response is to go "yeah, well, i just feel sorry for you, wake up some day"

    in fairness we have more freedoms now than we did in the 1950's but Less I think than we did in the 90's.

    we seem to be taking a backward step towards authoritarianism and as a whole the population seems to be hoodwinked into demanding more draconian measures for their own protection.

    We've seen two european Prime ministers ousted and replaced with Banker/Economist types

    Entirely justified in those cases though. Greece and Italy were going down the toilet under Berlusconi and the whole farrago of corrupt Greek muppet leaders. I suppose countries should have the right to turn themselves into failed states, but for the greater good of the populace, I don't have a huge issue with installing competent leaders on a temporary basis with the support of their democratically elected parliaments.

    Neelie Kroes is on the list and no doubt she will be pushing the following agenda on a global scale.

    Neelie Kroes, the EU's Digital Agenda Commissioner, will present by the beginning of June a new legislative proposal which aims “to facilitate cross-border electronic transactions” through the adoption of harmonised e-signatures, e-identities and electronic authentication services (eIAS) across EU member states, according to an internal document seen by EurActiv.

    Yes there are certain things that people can do now that they could not before that is true but there have been other bans put in place that were not there before

    But the country as a whole we have become less free to determine our own way and are being dictated to from outside sources

    And we shall be voting on whether to concede more on Thursday

    Now to get back on topic

    I'd have to think about it, and I suppose it would depend on how you define 'freedom'. I can't think of any freedoms I've lost since the 90s, but security checks on airlines etc. are more thorough which is a pain in the ass. On the other hand, the internet has greatly added to the freedoms I have.

    Can you think of freedoms lost vs freedoms gained in the last 20 years?

    By choice. We could have told those 'outside forces' to take a hike but we'd have a had a sovereign default. Our elected representatives thought that cooperating with these 'outside forces' for a period would be less painful for the people (and certainly less painful to their chances of surviving as a political party).

    I'm sorry, but I'd regard the ban on smoking as similar to the ban on shooting people that you don't like - an improvement in freedom.

    So your right to a smoke free area trumps mine to enjoy a cigarette with my coffee or a pint

    So its ok to impose restrictions when it don't effect you

    Do you think there could have been a middle ground and the freedom to choose rather than just an outright ban

    On the contrary your opinion would be as valid as anybody's

    Pretty much.
    Because while you might be ok with the damage the cigarette does to your body, you're also doing damage to people around you. You don't get to make that choice for them.

    Deal with it.

    Strange argument. Your right to ruin my meal and poison my workplace trumps my right to eat in peace and work safely? :confused: And let me guess - I have the freedom to eat at home, and work somewhere else? Why don't you - the person spreading the pollution - not have to face the restriction, rather than the innocent victim?

    No I dont want to infringe on your rights at all

    If the choice was available I would use an establishment that suited my needs
    I fear you would do the same


    In regards to the working place I think the business or company also have the right to set rules for their employees

    I don't disagree with smoking restrictions in some cases
    I have indeed, but the number of referenda in Ireland is not a matter of my opinion.

    The choice was never available. The solution arrived at was the best compromise to protect the rights of smokers (you can still smoke) and the majority of people who don't smoke (you can't smoke anywhere you want).

    If you point out exactly what you want an opinion on I will offer one if possible.

    Are you guys really doing this?

    Laws regarding discrimination, equality in the workplace, equal rights pay, social welfare, health benefits, statutory rights, company and corporate law, public safety, road safety, police regulation, education rights, the list goes on and on.

    Not just Ireland, but everywhere. Go to Russia, China, South Africa, the whole of Eastern Europe, virtually all of South America, Spain, Germany, Italy and you are visiting vastly different places than what they were in the 50's.

    The argument that we in Ireland or "we" in the world are less free, have less rights and have less equality than 60 years ago is frankly ridiculous.

    Yeah, but not everyone had to live the debt-mocratic way Jonny7

    At one time many people lived in tribes and were quite content without having to work for a bank.

    It's all relative really, some have benefit greatly from debtmocracy while others have lost and suffered immeasurably.

    I think you're bit ignorant to believe everything is better for everyone, that's too simplistic a view.

    The world is freer in general.

    North Korea is worse than it used to be, DRC is worse than it used to be, but the world in general is freer and people have more rights than they did half a century ago.

    On average, the standard of living has increased, the populations relative wealth has risen, our individual rights have increased..

    We all still complain about it on a daily basis, such is life, but anyone who actually thinks that we in general had more rights, freedom and equality over six decades ago seriously needs to pick up a history book or get their head examined.

    Whatever "evil" the Bilderburg group is up to - they aren't doing a very good job of it.
