Last year's detention of Alex Jones in Canada during the Bilderberg "do", produced a result that the Bilderbergers did not want .. PUBLICITY.

I am no fan of wikipedia .. I KNOW that the government messes with it. I also know that I submitted very good information to it that was REJECTED - stuff on cognitive dissonance. this is an area all global people need to understand, but th entry is nearly impossible for the layman to read (and it is also misleading, btw) So wiki and I aren't bossum buddies ...

However, as the Bilderberg, Inc. group is hard to summarize, and becuz I got this via email, I decided to publish these bits for your consumption. (They consume, consume, consume, why shouldn't we ..? All the world's resources, beauty, sacred sites, animals and every other living thing are considered sandbox toys for THEM). There is plenty of material on Bilderberg on this blog; just run a search on the box for the blog to bring it up.

Last year, someone, somehow got a transcript of what took place out on the web, but they gave you a teaser for free and wanted $25 or so to read the lot. Lots of us in the wrong side of the tracks on the digital divide couldn't afford to read it. TOPIC: Iran. The point: someone paid someone working in the hotel to "tell all" and I have spent nearly a year wondering WHO. There were major photos last year showing all the security required to protect the Bilderbergers from people "like us" -- and this in a "democratic" country. Who paid .. the Canadian taxpayer.

This year, it's TURKEY .. and I noted no less than FOUR of the members have something to do with Turkey, and I would guess many more coming this year do, too, it's just that what they are listed as covers up their "interests" there.

A quick google search will net you the MANY internet journalists and groups that track the Bilderberg "phenomena". A visit to www.prisonplanet.com over the next few days should be enlightening to those interested as well!

Bilderberg Group From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bilderberg Group or Bilderberg conference is an unofficial annual invitation-only conference of around 130 guests, most of whom are persons of influence in the fields of business, media, and politics.

Owing to discussions by public officials and powerful business leaders (and others) being off the record, these annual meetings are the subject of much criticism (for circumventing the democratic process of discussing issues openly and publicly) and numerous conspiracy theories.

The elite group meets annually at exclusive, four or five-star resorts throughout the world, normally in Europe, once every four years in the United States or Canada. It has an office in Leiden, South Holland, Netherlands. They are expected to meet at the Klassis Hotel in a town 40 miles from Istanbul, Turkey for the 2007 meeting.


Origin of the name "Bilderberg" The "Bilderberg" title comes from what is generally recognized to be the location of its first official meeting in 1954 ; the Hotel de Bilderberg in Oosterbeek near Arnhem in the Netherlands. Although the conference is not officially regarded as a club of any sort, many members are regular attendees, and guests are often seen as belonging to a secretive Bilderberg Group.

Origin and purpose of the first annual conference The original Bilderberg conference was held at the Hotel de Bilderberg, near Arnhem, from May 29 to May 31, 1954. The meeting was initiated by several people. Polish emigre and political adviser, Joseph Retinger, concerned about the growth of anti-Americanism in Western Europe, proposed an international conference at which leaders from European countries and the United States would be brought together with the aim of promoting understanding between the cultures of United States of America and Western Europe.

Retinger approached Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, who agreed to promote the idea, together with Belgian Prime Minister Paul Van Zeeland, and the head of Unilever at that time, the Dutchman Paul Rijkens. The guest list was to be drawn up by inviting two attendees from each nation, one each to represent conservative and liberal (both terms used in the American sense) points of view.\u003cbr\>\n The success of the meeting led the organizers to arrange an annual conference. A permanent Steering Committee was established, with Retinger appointed as permanent secretary. As well as organizing the conference, the steering committee also maintained a register of attendee names and contact details, with the aim of creating an informal network of individuals who could call upon one another in a private capacity. The declared purpose of the Bilderberg Group was to make a common political line tie between the United States of America and Europe in their opposition to the USSR and the global communist danger.\u003cbr\>\n Dutch economist Ernst van der Beugel took over as permanent secretary in 1960, upon the death of Retinger. Prince Bernhard continued to serve as the meeting's chairman until 1976, the year of his involvement in the Lockheed affair. There was no conference that year, but meetings resumed in 1977 under Alec Douglas-Home, the former British Prime Minister. He was followed in turn by Walter Scheel, ex-President of Germany, Eric Roll, former head of SG Warburg and Lord Carrington, former Secretary-General of NATO.[1]\u003cbr\>\n \u003cbr\>\n

Declared purpose The original intention of the Bilderberg Group was to further the understanding between Western Europe and North America through informal meetings between powerful individuals. Each year, a "steering committee" devises a selected invitation list with a maximum of 100 names. Invitations are extended only to residents of Europe and North America.

The location of their annual meeting is not secret, but the public and press are strictly kept at distance by police force and private security guards. Although the agenda and list of participants are openly available to the public meanwhile - mainly in the internet and posted there by outsiders - whose sources and reliability are not known — it is not clear that such details are disclosed by the group itself. Also the contents of the meetings are kept secret and attendees pledge not to divulge what was discussed."

The group's stated justification for secrecy is that it enables people to speak freely without the need to carefully consider how every word might be interpreted by the mass media. However, it could easily be argued that the elite and secretive nature of the meeting is antithetical to the democratic ideals of public debate.

U.S. Senators financially enslave Americans as Indentured Servants to Big Pharma

by Mike Adams

The facts found in the report are almost as astonishing as the source of the report itself: USA Today, a mainstream media giant in the United States, has revealed the apparent financial conflict of interest by U.S. Senators who voted against the infamous S.1082 reimportation amendment. That amendment would have ended Big Pharma's monopoly over U.S. consumers and ultimately saved American citizens, businesses and governments tens of millions of dollars by allowing them to import medicines from other nations with approved safety records (such as Canada or Japan).

But 49 Senators voted against the amendment, defending the Big Pharma monopoly that continues to force Americans to pay the highest prices in the world, by far, for medicines. As I've documented in my book, Natural Health Solutions and the Conspiracy to Keep You From Knowing About Them, some pharmaceuticals are marked up 500,000% or more over the cost of their ingredients!

Modern medicine is the new

indentured servant plantation.

What could have prompted these 49 Senators to vote to protect the profits of drug companies? Follow the money and you'll find your answer. As it turns out, nearly every one of the 49 Senators who voted against drug reimportation has accepted money from drug companies. USA Today reported the top offenders who voted against the bill, along with the dollars they've accepted from drug companies since 2001:

U.S. Senators' Drug Money

Richard Burr, R-N.C.
$520,694

John Kerry, D-Mass.
$304,888

Joe Lieberman, I-Conn.
$281,040

Arlen Specter, R-Pa.
$259,699

Orrin Hatch, R-Utah
$241,850

Max Baucus, D-Mont.
$199,000

Tom Carper, D-Del.
$183,794

Mike Enzi, R-Wyo.
$174,338

Notice that these Senators represent both major political parties, and there's even one independent in the mix. Consumers should remember that no political party will defend the people against powerful corporations. Ultimately, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle will sell out in order to protect their own power and reelection funds.

As Rima Laibow (www.HealthFreedomUSA.org) observed in a recent e-mail update to her readers, it's amazing just how cheaply the U.S. Senators have been bought off! For a few hundred thousand dollars -- the profits from only a couple hundred prescription drug users -- these Senators appear to have been either strongly influenced or outright bribed to kill a measure that would have saved Americans tens of billions of dollars and finally freed the American people from the financial stranglehold of Big Pharma.

These Senators, of course, all insist they were voting to protect the "safety" of Americans, claiming that medicines imported from other countries are dangerous. But medicines bought right here in the United States are killing 100,000+ Americans each year! Do these Senators somehow imagine drugs bought in the U.S. are safer than the same medicines purchased somewhere else? Do they suffer under the illusion that paying more for prescription drugs somehow makes them safer?

When it comes down to it, none of the arguments against drug reimportation hold water. The killing of the amendment was done for one simple, uncomplicated reason: to protect the safety of Big Pharma profits by forcing Americans to pay monopoly prices for their medicines.

Modern-day Indentured Servants The whole price fixing scam brings to mind a relevant term from American history: Indentured servants. These indentured servants were people who agreed to work a farm or plantation for a period of 4-7 years in exchange for passage to America. But dishonest plantation owners played a cruel trick on the indentured servants: They had to buy their farm tools and supplies from the plantation owner. But they couldn't pay cash since they didn't have any money, so they were forced to extend their work commitment in exchange for tools and supplies.

A shovel, for example, might cost you another month on the farm. A set of work clothes might cost you two months more. Little by little, the plantation owner enslaved the indentured servants in a never-ending cycle of debt that could only be repaid by a lifetime of work ending in death and bankruptcy.

Sound familiar?

Americans are trapped in a lifetime of medical debt being paid to wealthy drug corporations. If you live in America and need medicine, the FDA and Big Pharma are doing everything in their power to make sure you have no choice but to buy it from "the company store"

-- the monopoly-controlled U.S. pharmaceutical market that's basically in the business of ripping people off by selling them dangerous synthetic chemicals.

Need to control your blood sugar? That's a few thousand dollars a year. Have high cholesterol? Another few thousand. Got cancer? Fork over several thousand dollars each month for yet more chemicals sold at monopoly prices to a nation of health consumers who have been financially enslaved as Indentured Servants. I once talked to a cancer patient who was about to fork over $14,000 per injection for an experimental cancer drug! That person's life savings would have been wiped out in just one month while enriching the richest corporations in the world: drug companies.

Modern medicine is the new indentured servant plantation. Same scam, different crop. The American people are once again being worked to death by greedy businessmen who only wish to increase the size of their own profits, regardless of how many people have to be exploited or destroyed along the way. And 49 U.S. Senators seem to whole-heartedly approve of this financial enslavement of the American people. They voted, on the record, to propel a profiteering price scheme operated by a criminal conspiracy masterminded by the FDA and Big Pharma.

Ben Nelson Jay Rockefeller Kenneth Salazar

Corporate imperialism at work One thing that these Senators have demonstrated quite convincingly is that the rich get richer in America, especially when rich Senators protect the rich drug companies at the expense of the increasingly impoverished American people.

In my opinion every one of the Senators listed here should be voted out of power at the next available opportunity. But of course, Big Pharma can buy off the replacements just as easily. There's no end to the cash being generated by this illegal price fixing scheme that, by any sane standard, would have long ago been classified as an organized crime racket and prosecuted under the RICO Act.

The real problem, then, is not necessarily dishonest Senators who would sell out their countrymen (and women) for a few dollars from Big Pharma. The real problem is that corporations are allowed to financially influence lawmakers in the first place! The problem is the lobbying and campaign finance structure that allows virtually all lawmakers from both sides of the aisle to be so easily and cheaply bought off (or at least strongly influenced) by corporate interests on itself has become dangerous to the health, safety and future of the American people. (View the documentary: The Corporation )

Even if these 49 Senators actually sold out the American people, and even if they resigned tomorrow (which they would never think of doing, of course), their replacements would be just as easily corrupted by a system of corporate control over U.S. lawmakers that has turned the United States into a Plutocracy -- government by the wealthy elite, where the corporations and the government become one entity that exploits the productivity of the population to enrich the few.

As I pointed out in a previous article about this betrayal by U.S. Senators, many of our lawmakers have become adversaries of the people and are now openly fighting for the expansion of profits and power for mega-corporations while steamrolling the interests and freedoms of the American people. In a very real sense, they have openly betrayed the American people they claim to represent. They have devolved into corporate imperialists who aim to shore up their own power by sacrificing the interests of those they have sworn to protect -- the voters who gullibly put them into power in the first place.

Well, there was a BIG in$urance payment made after 9/11, but you sure would have a problem finding the receipt for the ballistics used to topple them towers. Jet fuel don't melt steel.

I think the article needs a few comments posted too, cuz the whole thing is just uneffingbelievable. What does all this have to do with visionary planetary healing ...? If we are all ONE, where can there be an REAL infidels ...?

Investors Give No Quarter to Convert-or-Die Videogame

By jhutson


03/22/2007 05:45:40 AM EST

First posted on Talk to Action

When Left Behind Games launched its convert-or-die videogame Left Behind: Eternal Forces
in mid-November 2006, its stock traded at a peak price of $7.44 per
share. Breathless boosters at RedChip issued a "strong buy"
recommendation and predicted that within 18 months, the stock would
soar to as much as $18.70 per share. Really?

In fact, Left Behind Games' stock chart
looks like a ski slope. Not a gentle bunny hill, but a World Cup grand
slalom course, groomed for a world-beating downhill run. Today, you
could buy a share of Left Behind Games for a quarter -- with change
left over. On March 21, 2007, the stock closed at 18 cents a share.

Left Behind Games has sunk more than $27 million and four years into
the development and marketing of a game that has been critically panned by gamer blogs, who sneer at its bugginess and built-in spyware, and was boycotted by members of its target audience.

Although game sales have brought in some revenue, the stock has yet to earn a dime of profit, according to the latest quarterly report
of Left Behind Games, filed on February 20, 2007. And, according to the
quarterly report, "As of December 31, 2006... we had $698,763... of
deferred salaries due to our officers." Moreover, in December 2006 and
January 2007, a corporate officer made two interest-free loans,
totaling $23,000, to help the enterprise with "working capital." (folks: I think they are talking about crapitalI$M here.)

And the road ahead looks even bumpier. For example, the firm is
obligated to pay Bible publisher Tyndale House, by March 31, 2007, a
hefty $750,000 royalty payment for licensing the game, which is based
on the best-selling and profoundly bigoted Left Behind novels co-authored by Southern Baptist minister Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins.

These concerns are summarized, in wonky accounting language, in the
firm's Going Concern statement, found on page 21 of its quarterly
report:

As
of the three months ended December 31, 2006, we have started to
generate revenue, and through December 31, 2006 have incurred net
losses of $31,157,019 and had negative cash flows from operations of
$6,383,394 since our inception through December 31, 2006. Our ability
to continue as a going concern is dependent upon out ability to
generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the
necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities
arising from normal business operations when they come due. We plan to
continue to provide for our capital requirements by issuing additional
equity. No assurance can be given that additional capital will be
available when required or on terms acceptable to us. We also cannot
give assurance that we will achieve significant revenues in the future.
The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there
are no assurances that if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to
execute our business plan or to generate positive operating results.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has previously
indicated in its report included with the Form 10-KSB filed in June
2006 that these matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern.

How have the mighty fallen?

One thing's for sure, spouts Left Behind Games CEO Troy Lyndon: It wasn't the fault of Talk to Action for breaking the story of the convert-or-die theology behind this videogame.

Mr. Lyndon has publicly proclaimed that the controversy has spurred
sales of the game. The controversy, Mr. Lyndon boasted to the Los Angeles Times, "has been great for the product."

So, if Mr. Lyndon is to be believed, if it hadn't been for the consumer boycott first called for by Talk to Action, and organized by CrossWalk America, the Beatitudes Society, Christian Alliance for Progress, The Center for Progressive Christianity, and Campaign to Defend the Constitution (DefCon), then the company would have sold far fewer copies of its sole product.

Yet Mr. Lyndon has not expressed gratitude (not a crumb) to these
bloggers and faith communities, to whom he claims to owe so much.

While Talk to Action
was the first to call for a consumer boycott of the product -- not
because of the level of violence, but because it makes a children's
game of hate literature -- no one has called for the game to be
censored. Rather, this blog and others, joined by both progressive and
conservative faith communities, have asked consumers to reflect on
whether they really want to buy a buggy, spyware-laden videogame that
teaches mass killing in the name of Christ, and that also lets children
switch sides and command the armies of the AntiChrist, unleashing
demons that feast on the bones of conservative Christians. (Wait:
before you say, That sounds like fun!, just know that the game is
programmed so that the AntiChrist can never win.)

If Left Behind Games fails, it won't be because the stock price got
blogged down. It will be because they made a crappy, hate-filled
product that managed to offend its two target audiences: Rapture-ready
Moms and hardcore gamers. As SapphireGrl
wrote on RaptureReady.com, ""Where in the Word does it say to 'kill the
infidels'? Where are we told to kill anyone that won't convert? Jesus
said to shake the dust from your feet, not to mow them down with
automatic weapons!" And as Gameinatrix Cori
wrote in a smash-mouth review by a gamer who had really wanted to like
the game but found that it stank out loud: "Let's just leave this
behind us and never speak of it again."

* * *

And let us not forget, the more publicity this game got, the more it sold. Sad to think that Mssr. Lyndon laffed his was to the bank ...

As the Mom of a gamer, just what STRATEGY is this "game" based on. Without it the games are just NO FUN.

And as for the fact that the anti-Christ can never win: consider - the person(s) who come along to set the record straight on the gospel are EXACTLY the ones to be perceived as anti-Christs, eh what?

A true shoot-'em-up game with no soul ....

Ever hear of a CON game - this must be its Ultimate Definition.
