    but..but prinz,you dont know what they get up to/have a say in!much
    like we dont know what the mc canns got up to?!
    yet these people have way more power than them.:eek:)

    Yeah actually we do. The super-secretive meeting has a website where they publish the topics for conversation, publish the people taking part etc.

    Some of last years hot topics... Social Networking, Medical Science, Can We Feed The World.............. Groundbreaking stuff.

    http://www.bilderbergmeetings.org/meeting_2010.html

    It's closed to the press because they want people to speak their mind, not be worried about press headlines (although some of the guests are usually journalists and authors) etc. That's about as sinister as it gets.

    so why do these people meet up?
    please explain:confused:

    What difference is it to you? Am I allowed meet my friends? If the Irish Society of Amateur Stamp-Collectors meets tomorrow night do they have to expain themselves to you? As I said, what are you going to do... ban people from travelling? Ban certain people from meeting? Don't be daft.

    I really truly wish these people who have proven themselves to be the best in their respective fields did govern the world.

    Would be a lot better than a the current system of a popularity contest of teachers, civil servants and even bankrupt builders.... :rolleyes:

    @Prinz- there's no motive discussed in the link you posted. You merely have an opinion of what their motives are. I do care about what they do, they have tremendous influence in this world and because the discussions are privte there are no reprecussions and no feedback from the general population. A group of people with great influence discussing topics common to all of us without being answerable to any of us.

    ...and? Private discussions between world and business leaders take place on a daily basis? :confused: For all you know Enda Kenny, Barrack Obama and Queen Liz discussed their plans to go to a Take That concert together during their private meetings? Or did you just take their word for it that they discussed the economy and Northern Ireland?

    Fuck sake lads, do we need to go back over the first rule again?!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,007 ✭✭✭Phill Ewinn


    They do. So why bother with builderburg at all if that's what they can do? Builderburg is as I said it was. An unaccountable group for the highly influential. Tell me in your own opinion why they formed said group if communication between these leaders is so easily achieved.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,609 ✭✭✭cgarrad


    Because politicians do not create better societies, building wealth for people does.

    Guess who is responsible for that...

    Yeah yeah soapboxing. You can't make the argument that they should be accountable. I couldn't give a toss if a couple of CEO's get together and have a chat and play a round of golf as private individuals. It's not my business if the discuss social networking or world peace or world hunger, it's not your business what they discuss.

    There is no 'group' or secret membership. Different people get invited to the different meetings. You might be invited one year and never invited again. You don't find it odd that there would be journalists taking part in these talks but that nothing remotely controversial has ever come out? Highly influential journalists from Turkey for example.. who no doubt have affected your life greatly by being there.

    Who's playing at it? Its the same guys who used to do Rock am ring right?

    You may not care about your own life or future. As I said, I do. This isn't an argument Prinz. These are facts I put before you. Highly influencial journalists attend meetings in Rome and little boys still get buggered in churchs! I don't know why you wouldn't want accountability. Maybe you believe the life you have is utopian and cannot be improved by having groups lik,e this monitored by third party uninvited guests.

    You do? Really? I'd argue if you really did stuff like this wouldn't even register because it's so far down the list of things to worry about it's irrelevant. You spend your time worrying about this sort of crap then I'd say you have little enough to worry or care about tbh.

    Maybe I want to live in a world where I can meet my friends, colleagues, people in the industry I work in without some randomer thinking I owe them an explanation of everything I say, or demanding they be allowed sit in to monitor what we discuss 24/7.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,007 ✭✭✭Phill Ewinn


    You probably have a third party regulator or commissioner looking at the results of your work. People or groups of people are not saints and can make mistakes. What you are proposing is handing over the keys to this planet and it's people to some vague organisation. It's a ridiculous proposal. I'll stick with my idea, thanks all the same.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,916 ✭✭✭✭orourkeda


    Given some of the names linked to, and confirmed as, bilderberg members and attendees, the fact that they control , or attempt to control things in the manner suggested may not be as implausible as it sounds.

    But we dont really know what is discussed at these meetings. It rarely gets leaked.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,598 ✭✭✭✭prinz

    Yes, the keys to the planet. You do know they've been these summits for decades right?

    How is it vague when you can get the complete guestlist and list of discussion topics?

    You know the Irish Council of State meetings are closed to the public too?
    Shouldn't that be of more immediate interest? Or is it just that the Bilderberg is more exotic..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,916 ✭✭✭✭orourkeda


    There are at least two high profile irish members that i'm aware of (maybe many more besides). These are Peter Sutherland and your man gleeson that was in charge of AIB.

    I dont know much of this bilderberg group. But from the little I do know of these two characters they do seem quite high powered and influential. Surely a group of high powered and influential group of international "elites" are not meeting up for the craic. I certainly don;t know what they get up to but can anyone shed any light on what the get up.

    It's the only time they feel comfortable shedding their human shells and revealing their true reptilian nature.

    Have you an answer to my question. I cant speak for anyone else here but I'm not very knowledgable on this particular subject and would like as much information as possible before making a judgement on the relative merits of the topic being discussed. Going "David Icke" doesn't help answer anyones questions.

    Last years discussion topics are listed on the website I linked to earlier.

    Look what's happened in Pakistan since June last year? Wasn't this a topic up for discussion at last years meeting. We've had the high profile death of Bin Laden and what can only be described as a stand off than ensued. Just an example and I'm not subscribing to any particular viewpoint here, just raising what could be viewed as concerns. Not an accusation either. Just saying you never knwo what answer people will come up with when they put 2 and 2 togther.

    Bilderburg 2011. Got your ticket?

    Already heading to Electric Picnic. Don't have the cash for this as well :(

    They do. So why bother with builderburg at all if that's what they can do? Builderburg is as I said it was. An unaccountable group for the highly influential. Tell me in your own opinion why they formed said group if communication between these leaders is so easily achieved.

    Just want to get you straight on this Phil, but are you suggesting that the rich and powerful should not have the same rights to privacy, free association, and freedom of speech as the rest of us?

    I chatted about Osama and Pakistan last year with my mates in the pub....

    Maybe he was captured because of that!


    Seriously, are you suggesting that the Americans only decided to take him out because the Bildergergers gave them the go ahead?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,702 ✭✭✭squod


    "The Bilderbergs are probably the most influential global network of all time.
    Bilderberg is where ideas are shared and a transatlantic, capitalist consensus view of the world comes together.

    "You do get the impression that what is happening is a shaping of ideas and the shaping of a way forward does take place," Kakabadse said.

    http://www.cnbc.com/id/43325286
    "It's a meeting. It's not an organization. It's not an official summit," he told CNBC.com. "It's basically a meeting of friends. "It may have taken you six months hard consulting to get into somebody's diary. Having gone to a Bilderberg meeting, it takes two minutes on the phone."


    Jaysus' all very harmless. Just the most important and influencial people in the world shaping the way forward for us all behind closed doors in an unaccountable and undemocratic fashion.

    Nothing to see here!

    How hard is it to comprehend that people like business leaders, authors, journalists, scientists and even politicians or monarchs acting outside of their professional capacities, can have private conversations? What next, let's bug their houses and phones?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21 seanyroche


    This is obviously true, do you think that 150 of the most powerful people in the world are meeting in secret to playtiddlywinks?

    no good comes from darkness.

    wake everyone you can to the truth.

    latest reports are posted live on prisonplanet.com i have emailed 2 of our largest papers and have had no reply, they seem unable to print real news.

    pity i might buy the paper more offten if they printed truth.

    on another note how do some of the people on here make a joke of alex jones? he gives the news before it happens. check out the videos from years ago on his youtube channel and see if this stuff becomes true. he references everything he reports, so look up the articals for yourself.

    Yes, a very well kept secret. It's not like there's a thread about in on boards...oh wait...

    Yeah, yeah. One day we'll all be taking and someone will say, "Whatever happened to that poster, orourkeda?" We'll take a look back and see that this non-accusation was amongst your last posts ever on boards. Give my regards to the bottom of the Liffey. :D
