<\/a>During the 2004, circa early June, the conspiracy theorists in our midst divined that John Edwards would be John Kerry’s vice-presidential pick because … Edwards appeared at the Bilderberg Group meetings.<\/p>\n

And so, from the “New American” magazine, the organ of the John Birch Society but nonetheless since this is a report of what is reported in the mainstream media credible enough Time\/CNN reported that Kerry zeroed in on Senator John Edwards as his running mate after Bilderberg veteran Senator John Corzine called and informed him that Edwards had wowed the Bilderberg elite with his speech at this year’s Bilderberg retreat in Stressa, Italy. The clincher came a month later says Time\/CNN at a the home of Bilderberg participant, Council of Foreign Relations, and Trilateral Commission member, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.<\/i><\/p>\n

And here I figured Edwards would be picked as an effort to pick up support from if not the South than culturally Southern types in Ohio and Florida. Silly me!<\/p>\n

At any rate, Here is Alex Jones doing a bullhorn speech<\/a>. It… um… kicks ass in some manner or other. Unfortunately it does not include him saying:<\/p>\n

Alex Jones, a documentary filmmaker from Texas, showed up with two of his crew. “Man, this is just evil,” he muttered as he paced up and down, watching limos drive past. “It’s a group of very powerful individuals whose objective is to create one world government, based on an economic model from the Middle Ages,” he said. <\/i><\/p>\n

But. We can only muster about a dozen or so people to protest the Bilderberg Group meeting? That’s depressing, considering what is at stake here, which is, to quote Michael Parenti:<\/p>\n

Those who suffer from conspiracy phobia are fond of saying: “Do you actually think there’s a group of people sitting around in a room plotting things?” For some reason that image is assumed to be so patently absurd as to invite only disclaimers. But where else would people of power get together – on park benches or carousels? Indeed, they meet in rooms: corporate boardrooms, Pentagon command rooms, at the Bohemian Grove, in the choice dining rooms at the best restaurants, resorts, hotels, and estates, in the many conference rooms at the White House, the NSA, the CIA, or wherever. And, yes, they consciously plot – though they call it “planning” and “strategizing” – and they do so in great secrecy, often resisting all efforts at public disclosure. No one confabulates and plans more than political and corporate elites and their hired specialists. To make the world safe for those who own it, politically active elements of the owning class have created a national security state that expends billions of dollars and enlists the efforts of vast numbers of people.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
