– Here Come The Bilderbergs: The Complete 2014 Cast And Host Nation Breakdown (ZeroHedge, May 27, 2014):
The only thing more ominous for the world than a Fed raising interest rates is a Bilderberg Group meeting. The concentration of politicians and business leaders has meant the organisation, founded at the Bilderberg Hotel near Arnhem in 1954, has faced accusations of secrecy. Meetings take place behind closed doors, with a ban on journalists. As InfoWars notes, the 2014 Bilderberg meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark is taking place amidst a climate of panic for many of the 120 globalists set to attend the secretive confab, with Russia’s intransigence on the crisis in Ukraine and the anti-EU revolution sweeping Europe posing a serious threat to the unipolar world order Bilderberg spent over 60 years helping to build.

And, broken down by country of origin:
Oddly, not many Russians in there…
Between Fukushima and rising sea levels, all their plans are for naught.
They need to face that truth, and move on.
Their game won’t fly, any more than any of the other fool globalist plans.
Too many members from the US and Great Britain……..not enough from nations that now matter. Russia is the new great power of the East, not China, as was thought five years ago. China made a grave mistake by following the US financial model, and now their debt level is far worse than any other state on the list……anywhere from 5-12X real GDP. China measures GDP on what they build, not what they earn, the stupid ghost cities are the result, and unemployment and poverty continues to rise, even among the most educated. They are the smallest participant on this list……..Russia has not bothered to play at all.
The truth has been lost………you have to build something of worth to build anything at all……..and the US & GB have built nothing but debt. Same with China, even though they lie about it.
Germany still builds good products with a real market for their goods, but they were foolish enough to believe the numbers given them by the weaker EU members who claimed wealth they didn’t possess. They didn’t realize Moody’s had exported Enron accounting to the entire world, or if they did, they didn’t think it existed in the new EU.
Germany’s big mistake was in thinking they could buy their leadership role in the EU, which was doing very well…….didn’t recognize the depth of corruption in all the EU nations the US was advising. Until 2008, the US was still seen as a credible financial nation that would provide equally salient direction………….they didn’t realize how deep the bankers had inserted their games into US policies, like ticks on a deer………..with no way to get rid of them.
The fact the US is such a major player on this list ought to tell everyone how weak this organization truly has become. Where is Russia? Where are the true players of today and tomorrow? The US is already the Sick Man of the Americas……..as Spain was once the Sick Man of Europe……..it has just happened so quickly.
The US dollar is accepted in less than half the world economy today, down from 100% in Jan, 2010. The only growth in the US is debt, poverty and greedy guts…….all are factors that destroy, not build nations.
The US used to be a world leader in diplomacy. Now, it has become heavy handed and despised as the world bully. Russia was the first nation to push back when Obama was hot to invade Syria for no reason anyone could comprehend………and when Russia did, Obama ran like a scared rabbit.
As a result, the world now looks to Russia to rein in the world bully……….how the game has changed in the past few years. The US lost all credibility by 2010, when it became clear they would do nothing to clean up their markets, or punish any of the thieving wrongdoers.
2010: That was the year of change. That was the year Hugo Chavez introduced the world’s first electronic currency, the Sucre, for use in his tiny South American Trade Alliance.
For the first time, member nations (12, including Cuba) could trade with each other using their own currencies, leaving the dollar out. Russia and China watched them carefully, and followed suit in November, 2010.
By 2014, Russia, China, Turkey, Iran, New Zealand, Australia, India, Brazil, Japan, many South and Central American Nations, many emerging African nations………all had dumped the dollar. Electronic currencies simply translate the value of each currency at the time of transaction, making conversion to any currency unnecessary and obsolete. Technology, once the US great strong point is now it’s ruin.
The US is finished as a world leader. All credibility and sense of trust is ruined. It took 250 years to build, less than 15 to destroy. We now have criminals in charge, and the US is known as an oasis for crooks and thieves. We are ruined, and the only ones who don’t seem to know it are the American leaders. They run around as if they still rule the world, and they are laughed at without respect……they have lost all reason to have any.
I’m confused again. I don’t see Israel on the list. I thought the Jews controlled the World. Will people make up their minds, please.
