Bilderberg Club - the Mother of all Secret Societies

Daniel Estulin
Jun. 01, 2007

In 1954, the most powerful men in the world met for the first time under the auspices of the Dutch royal crown and the Rockefeller family in the luxurious Hotel Bilderberg of the small Dutch town of Oosterbeek. For an entire weekend, they debated the future of the world. When it was over, they decided to meet once every year to exchange ideas and analyze international affairs. They named themselves the Bilderberg Club. Since then, they have gathered yearly in a luxurious hotel somewhere in the world to decide the future of humanity. Among the select members of this club are Bill Clinton, Paul Wolfowitz, Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Toni Blair and many other heads of government, businessmen, politicians, bankers and journalists from all over the world.

Nevertheless, in the more than fifty years of their meetings, the press has never been allowed to attend, no statements have ever been released on the attendees’ conclusions, nor has any agenda for a Bilderberg meeting been made public. Leaders of the Bilderberg Club argue that this discretion is necessary to allow participants in the debates to speak freely without being on record or reported publicly. Otherwise, Bilderbergers claim, they would be forced to speak in the language of a press release. Doubtlessly, this discretion allows the Bilderberg Club to deliberate more freely, but that does not respond to the fundamental question: What do the world’s most powerful people talk about in these meetings?

Any modern democratic system protects the right to privacy, but doesn’t the public have a right to know what their political leaders are talking about when they meet the wealthiest business leaders of their respective countries? What guarantees do citizens have that the Bilderberg Club isn’t a centre for influence trafficking and lobbying if they aren’t allowed to know what their representatives talk about at the Club’s secret gatherings? Why are the Davos World Economic Forum and G8 meetings carried in every newspaper, given front page coverage, with thousands of journalists in attendance, while no one covers Bilderberg Club meetings even though they are annually attended by Presidents of the International Monetary Fund, The World Bank, Federal Reserve, chairmen of 100 most powerful corporations in the world such as DaimlerChrysler, Coca Cola, British Petroleum, Chase Manhattan Bank, American Express, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Vice Presidents of the United States, Directors of the CIA and the FBI, General Secretaries of NATO, American Senators and members of Congress, European Prime Ministers and leaders of opposition parties, top editors and CEOs of the leading newspapers in the world. It is surprising that no mainstream media outlets consider a gathering of such figures, whose wealth far exceeds the combined wealth of all United States citizens, to be newsworthy when a trip by any one of them on their own makes headline news on TV.

These are the questions I have asked myself. Fourteen years ago they set me on an investigative journey that has become my life’s work. Slowly, one by one, I have penetrated the layers of secrecy surrounding the Bilderberg Club, but I could not have done this without the help of “conscientious objectors” from inside as well as outside the club’s membership. To them, I extend my deepest gratitude, for their priceless intelligence has made this book possible. You can understand then, to protect them, I cannot mention these true heroes by name: Only thank them for helping me find out what was being said behind the closed doors of the opulent hotels where the Bilderbergers hold their annual meetings.

Before we enter the realm of this exclusive club, it is important to recognize that neither people nor organizations are absolutely “evil,” just as no one is absolutely “good.” There are powerful people in the world guided by higher ideals, principles and beliefs than the manipulative secret club and its spin offs I describe in this book. Even within it, the efforts of the original members to better our world were based on a “father-knows-best” autocracy similar to the Roman Catholic’s paternalistic control of Christianity. Their intent was noble, at first.

Unfortunately, the Bilderberg Club has grown beyond its idealistic beginnings to become a shadow world government, which decides in total secrecy at annual meetings how their plans are to be carried out. They threaten to take away our right to direct our own destinies. And it is becoming easier because the development of telecommunication technology, together with profound present-day knowledge and new methods of behaviour engineering to manipulate individual conduct convert what, at other epochs of history, were only evil intentions into a disturbing reality. Each new measure, viewed on its own, may seem an aberration, but a whole host of changes, as part of an ongoing continuum, constitutes a shift towards total enslavement.

In this uncertain near future, people feel there is something evil lurking in the darkness. Waiting to pounce. Biding its time. We can feel its chilling presence. Most people would like to ignore it, but they no longer can. This “something” has slowly and stealthily forced itself into our conscious awareness and our collective psyche. It is our job to show the reader what this “something” is and disclose its terrible apocalyptical plans.

However, on a world level, there is a general awakening taking place as people are beginning to hold mirrors up to their irrationality; this awakening is beginning to empower our collective learning and understanding. You see, we have been told that world events are too difficult to understand for a lay person. They lied! We have been told that national secrets must be zealously protected. Indeed, they must! No government wishes for its citizens to discover that its best and brightest deal drugs, participate in massive pillaging of the planet, kidnappings and assassinations. On the pages of danielestulin.com, we do it for them. But there is hope. In almost every corner of the planet, stress points are beginning to fracture. And people are beginning to take sides. Governments, from now on, better be afraid of their people.

This is why it is time to look behind the scenes and try to find the man behind the curtain. We are at a crossroads. And the roads we take from here will determine the very future of humanity. We have to wake up to the true objectives and actions of the Bilderberg Club and its parallel kin if we hope to retain the freedoms fought for by our grandfathers in the Second World War.

Finally, I would like to truly acknowledge the help of all those brave and wonderful people who over the years have given us so much for so little. The list of collaborators, independent researchers, in and out of government sources, private investigators, US Army, Navy and Air Force analysts, Spanish Generals, cooks, chefs, bellboys, cleaning persons, waiters and waitresses at Bilderberger hotels, who have full-heartedly given of their energies and time, overlooking the dangers that such meetings could cause them is simply too long to mention on these pages, or rather our pages, because I am the vehicle of the collective psyche of a society whose natural instinct spells FREEDOM.

I extend my sincerest and deeply felt gratitude to numerous members of international secret service agencies in Washington, London, Moscow, Madrid, Paris, Caracas and Ottawa, whose inside knowledge on intelligence issues and wisdom often kept my spirits up in the darkest of hours. Without their priceless intelligence gathering, this book would have forever remained an unrealisable dream.

Special thanks go out to Canada, my country, who gave our family home and hope for a better future without asking for anything in return. I have repaid that debt of gratitude in 1996 when I uncovered Bilderberger diabolical plans for Canada’s break up. My love goes out to Canada’s wonderful and decent and freedom loving people who that fateful year answered my desperate plea for help by taking to the streets en masse to resoundingly destroy Bilderberger hopes of silently breaking Canada up. When I need uplifting, I think of these people and in their faith in the goodness of Men.

I dedicate this book to all those who have never stopped searching for the truth, in the face of government lies, cheating, manipulation and deceit. To those who have intuitively felt that blasphemous lies we are told are but a vile whiff of hatred. All these people deserve to know the truth about our history and heritage.

History teaches by analogy, not identity. The historical experience is not one of staying in the present and looking back. Rather it is one of going back into the past and returning to the present with a wider and more intense consciousness of the restrictions of our former outlook.

This is far from over.

Mankind is yet to pass a final judgement. Miracles, as someone said, can happen without our permission. The fact that we are here, doing what we do, is a living proof of that.
