Bilderberg and Its Fringe.

The weekend saw quite a remarkable event take place and in the most unlikely places of Watford.

The 61st meeting of the Bilderberg group at the Grove Hotel.  A meeting of heads of state, politicians, CEO's - 'the great and the good'  Up until now the venue and who attends has always remained secret, but this year a list of who was to attend was released and of course the venue which given the amount to security surrounding it, could hardly remain a secret.

What the agenda is or what gets discussed is never disclosed and it is this more than anything that can disgruntle people.

It can lead to conspiracy theories and scare stories, some of which may be true stories (often more scarier than fiction) and conspiracy theories in the past have been shown to be fact.

What is not right is that ministers that are publicly elected, that should remain aware that they are servants of the citizens, given a job at the expense of those that elected them, should make them accountable in the undertaking of that job. That is pretty simple.

We haven't voted them in as to who can be the most clandestine or underhand or corrupt.  We haven't voted them in to work secretively on our behalf.

We voted them in to work to improve the 'lot' of all concerned with the resources at hand and not at the expense of the planet or others.

If we the public are considered too stupid to know the truth and be party to what is being discussed then we must have been too stupid to vote them in or make a wise decision on who best we put forward for the job.

This Bilderberg meeting is allowing CEO's access to heads of state and politicians alike in meetings that are not documented and without an agenda. Is it any wonder then that people start to worry what is traded for what?

The likes of Bill Clinton and Tony Blair are reported to have attended the meetings just a couple of years prior to their coming to power. Could be a coincidence of course and the conclusion over their terms of office as a source of good or bad in the world, i'll leave to you to decide.

The Bilderbergs founding members did it no favours and that with the presence of some dubious members that some would regard as criminals, continue to put this so called 'informal gathering' under a very strange light indeed.

The past is a good teacher and such groups rarely seem to work for the greater good of all, but with an eye on an increasing population and limited resources, it is no wonder that people feel that part of the agenda could supposedly be how to limit that number. Who is going to control the assets? Are we aiming for an even bigger federal European state? and just who is calling the shots?

If your MP attended this meeting, remind him/her who pays their salary and so who are they answerable to.

Great little video clip that sums up the day well.
