    Paul Gallagher, the man that advises the government on all matters legal was an attendee at this years Bilderberg meeting in Sitges, Spain. No coverage whatsoever in the Irish media, I think the people of Ireland deserve an explanation as to why the chief law officer of the state is attending a private meeting where democracy is subverted and policy is made by a handful of elites.

    Peter Sutherland was also in attendance, intrestingly he is a former Attorney General ( Now chairman of Goldman Sachs International). The Irish media would tell us about the evils of headshops 1000 times a day if they could get away with it but won't say boo when the Trilateral Commission meets in Dublin or the Attorney General attends Bilderberg.

    A predictable response. Don't you want to know why the Attorney General attended a meeting where a handfull of plutocrats decide policy on a global level?. The fact that the Attorney General attended this meeting is not a theory.

    Policy is not formed by the AG. Should every citizen have to declare where they go on holiday from now on?

    Paul Gallagher was their for the big question of whether the euro will survive. Bilderberg are afraid that the countries in trouble will leave and the euro and will fall apart.

    They are worried for "PIGS" Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain

    As it was held in Ireland, I'd say it was as an honorary guest.

    Just the opening decription of these guys on Wiki is enough to set my imagination off!
    The Bilderberg Group, Bilderberg conference, or Bilderberg Club is an annual, unofficial, invitation-only conference of around 130 guests, most of whom are people of influence in the fields of politics, banking, business, the military and media. Each conference is closed to the public and the press.

    I really don't see how people can be so blasé about it and claim that they don't care about what is being discussed at the conferences.. I doubt they're talking about anything menial or unimportant, or of little relevance to you

    Explain again how democracy is subverted, policy is made and why Paul Gallagher has to explain what he was doing as a private individual at a private meeting? :confused:

    Plotting to take over the world obviously. As attorney general of a tiny Western European island, he surely plays an important role in deciding these kind of things.

    But what you are insinuating is a theory... ;)

    Cheers, I thought for some stupid reason, it was in Ireland. Doh! :o

    In that case I'd say he was putting Ireland's position in regarding economy (present and future hopeful progression), where we are heading socially, legally and other characteristic's of our make-up that the group might be interested in.

    He's probably there to advise those at the meeting on all matters legal in Ireland..

    Your "handful of elites" includes:

    INT Almunia, Joaquín Commissioner; European Commission
    USA Arrison, Sonia; Author and policy analyst
    PRT Balsemão, Francisco Pinto; Former Prime Minister
    SWE Bildt, Carl Minister of Foreign Affairs
    FIN Blåfield, Antti Senior Editorial Writer, Helsingin Sanomat
    AUT Bronner, Oscar Publisher and Editor, Der Standard
    TUR Çakir, Ruşen Journalist
    USA Feldstein, Martin S. George F. Baker; Professor of Economics, Harvard University
    USA Ferguson, Niall Laurence A. Tisch; Professor of History, Harvard University
    AUT Fischer, Heinz; Federal President
    IRL Gallagher, Paul Attorney General
    USA Gates, William H. Co-chair, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Chairman, Microsoft Corporation
    USA Gordon, Philip H. Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs
    INT Gucht, Karel de; Commissioner, European Commission
    TUR Gürel, Z. Damla; Special Adviser to the President on EU Affairs
    NLD Halberstadt, Victor; Professor of Economics, Leiden University
    USA Holbrooke, Richard C.; Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan
    USA Hormats, Robert D.; Under Secretary for Economic, Energy and Agricultural Affairs
    FIN Katainen, Jyrki; Minister of Finance


    I got bored so I didn't finish off but that's hardly they're hardly the billionaire rulers of the world that conspiracy theorists like to believe attend.. I was sucked into it for a while there ages ago until I looked at who goes. Like Heinz.. They make beans. They must be part of the NWO.

    It is hardly conductive to democracy now is it?. Meeting conducted under layers of security (always paid for by the taxpayer of whatever country Bilderberg is held in). Media blackout. Decisions that affect us all being made by people who have no mandate. Bilderberg is far from being just a holiday camp.
    Paul Gallagher is a constitutional office-holder, the public that pays his wages has a right to know what he gets up to at meetings like Bilderberg.
    Do you think he went there just for the wine and caviar?.

    What was the Attorney General doing at Bilderberg this year?.

    The aliens can't take over his body remotely, they need to lay their eggs in his ear.

    What's it got to do with democracy? they're not elected officials or acting in a public capacity?
    Decisions that affect us all being made by people who have no mandate.

    What should of decisions do you think are made there? what exactly are you worried about?

    It is against the law in America for officials to meet officials from other countries without notifying congress, so any American official (robert gates) attending these bilderburg meetings should be held accountable if they don't tell congress

    Don't be so naive. He just happened to choose to go there on a private holiday did he? And as to policy being formed by the AG, of course it isn't; it's formed by former Attorneys-general as soon as they move into the private (mainly banking) sector. Even the dogs on the street know that. He's being groomed. Peter Sutherland can't live forever.

    See above. Or did the bank-bailout not happen? Did the Irish government not turn tens of billions of Euros of private corporate debt into sovereign debt to cover the gambling debts of senior bondholders, on the advice (instructions) of men like Peter Sutherland and Dermot Gleeson (both former AGs;)) and now incredibly well-connected international bankers? I must have imagined it. Maybe the tinfoil is affecting my brain.

    Democracy is subverted when senior government officials use their office to further their own careers (and line their own pockets) by being bought off by a clique of high powered rich private interests at the expense of the people they are supposed to serve. You should look at the definition of a "banana republic".

    Smug, superior condescending sarcasm? Well I'd never expect that from a pro-establishment spindoctor. I'd love to know who you work for. Haven't you been trying to sell the pro-nuclear,pro-TEPCO, pro-profiteering "company line" over in the Nuclear disaster thread aswell?

    Isn't Peter Sutherland, Chairman of BP, Chairman of Goldman Sachs International, Director of Royal Bank of Scotland etc.,etc. also a former attorney general of a tiny western European island?

    How about Dermot Gleeson? Architect of the collapse of AIB. I'd say he's in the poorhouse now too. Chairman of AIB, Board member of Independent News and Media, ombudsman for DeBeers, etc. etc., Isn't he also a former attorney general of a tiny western European island?
    it's a secret meeting of "elites" sure what else could they be doing other than furthering the cause of the NWO and plotting to take over the world!

    See above. All three, former (or current) AGs of a tiny western European island and all coincidentally alumni of the same secret society that does it's business behind closed doors.

    But of course ye're right lads, they just happened to go on a private holiday in the same place as Bilderberg and when they meet behind closed doors they're just knocking back a couple of beers, having a game of Scrabble and talking about wimminz parts. Nothing to do with putting the interests of billionaires and elites ahead of the interests of the world's population at all.

    I'll get my tinfoil hat. Conspiracy forum ..>> thataway y'said?:D

    Seriously, go to the Conspiracies forum... That post hurts my head to read. Was it necessary to say "tiny western european island" so many times?

    As for "private corporate debt into sovereign debt".. If you have a pension, you're most likely one of the senior bond holders you hate so much.

    A well reasoned,well thought out and finely articulated rebuttal sir... up there with, "Yeah, well so's your face".:pac:

    With regard to the "tiny Western European island" I felt I should mention it a few times (in response to one of your mates' arguments) as I wasn't sure you'd be able to join the dots. I obviously didn't mention it enough times. I'll PM you a drawing.

    I don't hate the bondholders and I am perfectly well aware that private pension funds constitute a large percentage of these. I feel very sorry for those people. They shouldn't have entrusted their savings to the likes of Peter Sutherland. A bumper year for Goldman Sachs' executives this year I believe. No more nor less than organised crime.

    However, I still fail to see, how you reckon the Irish State is responsible for the losses of private individuals. It certainly wasn't entitled to the profits.

    Btw, my position is one espoused by nearly every independent internationally regarded economist in the world including a couple of Nobel Laureates. It is also the position of the ECB now after we've been fcuked royally, but no doubt you consider these people tinfoil hat merchants too.

    Well, this years event has just concluded in Switzerland with Gallagher, McDowell (ooh! another former AG of tiny W Europe island) and Sutherland flying the flag (not for Ireland I bet) so, I think thread = valid
