Alright, Im convinced., page 1

Well a bunch of opinions yet no real research. Please show me where the Bilderburgers actually run ANYTHING.

The Bilderbergs run practically EVERYTHING, and we have done an extensive amount of research. Here you go, a list of Bilderberg members who attended this year's meeting. Note- I've enclosed the link, but also enclosed the requested information in this post for ease of reading. The list is extremely long, but I'm sure you expected that!

In an effort to expand operations in Japan, the company bought Shinsei Bank (formerly Long-Term Credit Bank of Japan) and ailing recording label Nippon Columbia. Founder and CEO Timothy C. Collins' zeal for buying iconic Japan companies has elicited the wrath of Japanese industrialists fearful of foreign ownership."

-Member J.P. Morgan International Council

However where I lie unconvinced is that these guys actually affect in a large way, policies

as reported in reuters(which is owned by the a bilderbergers btw)

Invited as speakers, Bill Clinton and Tony Blair were groomed at Bilderberg meetings before rising to fame as U.S. President and British Prime Minister respectively.

www.freepressinternational.com...



Don't dogs get groomed? I guess slaves do to...Groomed by european banksters, and royalty, if that surprizes you, wait till you find out who ownz the federal reserve...


However there are much bigger players then those that attend bilderberg meetings whom have meetings which are shrouded in much more secrecy, members of the CFR, Trilateral Commision and Bilderberger are illuminati frontman which is why this meeting can't be so secret, these people are all heads of corporations, media, politics hence if they all disapear for a week to attend the bilderberg meeting people in the general populous are going to know about. These people need to know what the gameplan is hence they are given their scripts, let in on the illuminati's diabolical plans for our planet which you can watch like a holly-wood movie everyday on CNN. These are the same types of people that will attend bohemian grove, heads of media, entertainment, education, politics, ect all illuminati frontman, once again there is much more important 'gatherings'(ritual sites) shrouded in much more secrecy for the bigger players. There's a pyramid of power it's all compartmentalized(as is everything in our society part of how they keep control), the players operate on a need to know basis it's a very dog eat dog nasty world in their world. If you want to know of some of the bigger players, research the 13 illuminati bloodlines(google it for fritz's book and he has a vid for d/l 2!)

Thanks MKULTRA, when I had given up hope you actually came through with something intelligable.

Don't you mean, "intelligible"?

www.yourdictionary.com...

However if you could find a hard core example of where the Bilderbergers met, decided on some policy, and then that policy was enacted or changed wherever.

I'd love to be able to show you this nail, however I'm not a member, I have not attended the meetings, and I can't seem to find any minutes online. Wonder why- oh yeah, secret society. Shucks. Seems like the perfect cop-out, doesn't it? You could see it that way.

Look at the names on the list, and look at the companies they are affiliated with. The results will be more meaningful to you, if you find it yourselves and do the research. I myself was an enormous skeptic of the power that the Bilderbergs have, until I started investigating it.

Ask yourselves what could be the possible BENEFIT of each of these incredibly important individuals meeting together like this, being a part of this club? What are they personally getting out of it? What if each of these individuals agreed to fulfill a very small favor for the organization? The aggregate would be incredibly significant, wouldn't it!

To everyone reading this thread: I recognize how completely bizarre the notion of a "covert ruling elite" may sound. I'm not out to convince anybody, I cannot and will not be held responsible for someone else's belief system. I do not believe it is fair to sit here and dictate other people's opinions. You should decide for yourself! I can simply present what I am able to present when time permits, as I am only 1 individual with a finite amount of time available. Make your own decisions, but at least take some time to look into it yourselves, on your own motivations, before you decide there is nothing to it. There is a difference between being a skeptic and being a naysayer.

I'd like to hear some other people's opinions about it!
