Chi sono i Bildelbergers?
I Bildelberg sono un¹organizzazione elitaria, a carattere strettamente
privato, cui fanno capo leader politici, banchieri, capi di stato,
alti
funzionari governativi, appartenenti a case reali, docenti
universitari,
businessmen di altissimo livello, che si riuniscono in completa
segretezza
due volte all¹anno. E¹ importante segnalare come gli appartenenti a
questa
associazione non siano investiti di alcun mandato popolare, per
quanto in
grado di influire sulle decisioni di organi come il G8, il Gatt, la
Banca
Mondiale, il Fondo Monetario Internazionale, la Commissione Europea,
ecc.
(spesso gli stessi membri di queste organizzazioni fanno parte dei
Bildelberg)

L¹idea originaria
Da un atto ufficiale del Congresso Statunitense (Congressional
record, US
Senate, 11 April 1964 - speaker: Mr Jacob Javits), si ricava che:
³L¹idea
dei Bildelberg ha avuto origine negli anni O50. Dopo la seconda guerra
mondiale le nazioni del mondo occidentale sentirono il bisogno di
unirsi per
la protezione dei loro valori morali ed etici, le istituzioni
democratiche,
e la loro indipendenza contro la minaccia comunista. Il piano
Marshall e la
Nato sono esempi dello sforzo collettivo dell¹occidente per un
reciproco
aiuto e sostegno dopo la seconda guerra mondiale. Nei primi anni O50
un
certo numero di soggetti da un capo all¹altro dell¹Atlantico
cercarono mezzi
per riunire e coordinare le volontà di individui appartenenti alle
elite
politiche, culturali, mediatiche, economiche e finanziarie, per
discutere di
problemi concernenti il mondo del patto atlantico. Essi ebbero la
percezione
che l¹interscambio avrebbe potuto eliminare differenze ed
incomprensioni che
minavano l¹Occidente.²

Dove si tengono i meeting dei Bildelberg
Il primo meeting che portò all¹incontro tra forze europee ed
americane ebbe
luogo sotto la presidenza del principe Bernardo d¹Olanda, all¹Hotel
Bildelberg in Oosterbeck, dal 29 al 31 maggio del 1954. Da allora, gli
incontri sono stati denominati Bildelberg meetings. Mentre sul suolo
europeo
i titolari della proprietà in cui si tengono gli incontri varia da
nazione a
nazione, sul suolo americano i meeting si tengono in proprietà della
famiglia Rockfeller, ma sempre in luoghi diversi e nella massima
segretezza.
La stampa non può partecipare od assistere in alcun modo ai meeting.
La riunione ufficiale dei Bildelberg nel 2003 si è tenuta a
Versailles dal
15 al 18 maggio, con scarsa pubblicità da parte della carta stampata
di
tutto il mondo, alcuni giorni prima del G8. Un sito ha pubblicato
