I'm not sure if the Hertfordshire police are really entering into the party spirit?
BRILLIANT video with Sam Williams who, it appears, is mistaken for a one man terrorist reconnaissance unit because he's got a camera. Boy they really don't like cameras... but why? Anything dodgy going on the camera has the evidence, duh. Quite clear though that the psychopath mentality is already beginning to gather around The Groves

Anti-Bilderberg protest building up
7:00pm Thursday 16th May 2013 in News - By Mike Wright and Ben Endley
http://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/news/10425714._/
A county council candidate from Watford is helping to organise an anti-Bilderberg festival to protest against the controversial group’s forthcoming meeting in the town.
Su Murray applied this week to Watford Borough Council for a temporary event licence for a “family event” on West Field, a patch of land between Hempstead Road and the A41.
When contacted by the Watford Observer Ms Murray, who stood as a Green Party candidate for the Central Oxhey division in the recent Hertfordshire County Council elections, said she had “concerns” about the Bilderberg coming to town but was adamant the event would be peaceful and law-abiding.
She said: “It [the application] is for a Green event taking into account the Bilderberg meeting.
“It is all a bit up in the air at the moment.
“My thoughts were I wanted something, a green event, to work with the people coming along because of Bilderberg.
“I am pretty certain I am going to amalgamate my idea in with the main festival, I am not sure whether it will be on the site I am applying for or not.
“I want it to remain a green event but the organisers of the main festival also want a very green event. This way will be better for a lot of residents and better for the police because it will all be on one site.”
The event – scheduled to last from June 8 to 12 – is described on the application as a “family event with entertainment including folk music, children’s entertainers, face painting, craft workshops and stalls”.
An application has also been made for late-night refreshment and alcohol sales.
Politicians on the council’s licensing sub-committee are due to make a decision on whether to grant a licence next week.
Opponents of the shadowy meeting of influential figures from politics, business and academia are organising a fringe festival to coincide with the gathering at The Grove hotel next month.
Organisers have said the festival will be a creative art outlet of protest and they are working with police to minimise disruption to residents.
Hannah Borno, a spokesman for the Bilderberg Fringe Festival, said: “What Watford can expect is proper comedians and music acts. No one is making any money by what it is going to be great entertainment. We are working with the police to enable it to happen and cause minimum disturbance to residents.”
A Facebook page has also been set up to organise an Occupy Bilderberg event while the group meets.
More than 600 people have said they are attending the event, which has listed its location as simply “The Grove Hotel” between June 6 and 9.
Last week, Hertfordshire Constabulary confirmed to the Watford Observer that it was launching a security operation for the Bilderberg meeting.
The Bilderberg Group meets annually in different locations and says it provides its attendees a chance to “off-the-record” discussions about current events.
Previous attendees have included the leaders from industries such as banking, technology as well as elected politicians from around the globe and include George Osborne, Google CEO Eric Schmidt and former chairman of Barclays, Marcus Agius.
The secret nature of the events, from which no minutes or records are published, has provoked a growing protest movement.
Around 800 people protested the last meeting in Virginia, USA.

Great to see the Watford Observer reporting on anti - Bilderberg protests weeks before the event! This will help to encourage local people to bolster the International anti - Bilderberg protesters who will be there in force! A pity Jim Tucker will not be there but I hope he will be observing from a higher place - a good turnout will be a fitting tribute to his life and work.

I emailed the BBC Radio 4 pm program to make sure they have full details of the Bilderberg meeting - I insist , as a Public Service Broadcaster, they have a duty to report on Bilderberg matters. It will be interesting to see what they do as this will be the first time for years that Bilderberg has been staged in the UK and it is a tremendous opportunity to shed light on the Bilderberg proceedings.

Mini Bilderberg? Bill Gates, Bloomberg, and World’s Richest Meeting on Gated SC Island

http://www.storyleak.com/mini-bilderberg-bill-gates-jeb-bush-sc-island/

Has the Bilderberg meeting become too mainstream for some of the world’s richest elite? From Warren Buffet and Monsanto-linked Bill Gates to Oprah and Jeb Bush, the local media has begun reporting on a closed doors meeting between billionaires and politicians at the gated beach island of Kiawah, South Carolina.

The Bilderberg group, which consists of a larger group of the world’s top leaders and billionaires, is reportedly set to take place near Watford this year in the United Kingdom. Called ‘The Masters of the Univserse’ by an Asia Times article, and deemed to be a meeting of 130 top military, business, and political figures by WikiLeaks, the Bilderberg group and its attendees have been getting much more press than usual these past years thanks to activists who have been protesting the meetings.

Even Russia Today went and covered the Bilderberg group protests and the meeting itself, reporting that the group could be deciding major events to come in their yearly meetings. From which candidates to run for the next political election, to military action — any number of major decisions are likely being made during the Bilderberg group meetings that are conducted entirely in secret. In fact, heavily armed security ensures that no one even gets close enough to take a peek.

But what’s going on with the latest confab between power and money over on Kiawah Island?
Mini Bilderberg Meeting Called?

As of right now, it seems like this closed doors event is sort of a mini Bilderberg group meeting of sorts. One local CBS affiliate, one of the only news sources to be covering this since it’s a local issue, says that around 20 highly expensive jets were lined up at the Charleston International Airport on Johns Island, and that Bill Gates and others were at the Sanctuary Hotel on Kiawah Island. The attendee list, according to the CBS report, includes Jeb Bush, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Bill and Melinda Gates, Dan Gilbert (owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers), Warren Buffet, Oprah, and others.


The island is an ideal spot for anyone seeking to avoid the activists that follow the Bilderberg group due to the fact that the island itself is actually a beach slash golf course enclosed with gated security. The population of the island is only a bit above 1,000, and is primarily a private resort for the rich. According to the local CBS affiliate, security has been high throughout the week and the public is not allowed near the hotel.

As for what they’re doing here on this mini Bilderberg-styled escapade, the mayor offers a hilariously ridiculous statement to the CBS affiliate WBTW:

“We wish them luck with what they’re doing,” Mayor Charles Lipuma said. “If they want to play golf, they couldn’t have picked a better weekend. We are glad we could offer them great weather.”


The mayor is just so thrilled he could offer them up some great weather, who cares about what they’re actually doing. How sweet. CBS says that the meet concerns the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which apparently is hosting the Bilderberg-styled event that violates fundamental laws regarding the creation of policy behind closed doors.

Private Security Force To Subject Bilderberg Protesters To Pat-Downs

http://explosivereports.com/2013/05/16/private-security-force-to-subject-bilderberg-protesters-to-pat-downs/

Jurriaan Maessen - ExplosiveReports.Com - May 16, 2013

The good news is, journalists and protesters are allowed to come closer than expected to the hotel; the bad news is, they will be subjected to pat downs by a private security firm.

A spokesman for the Hertfordshire police, responsible for managing the protests from June 6-9 outside the Grove Hotel, has stated that reporters and protesters will be allowed inside the outer gates of the Grove Hotel, giving them a fairly good view of all incoming- and outgoing Bilderberg participants. The downside is, that the people who are allowed in must first undergo a pat down by a private security firm named G4S.

Hertfordshire police liaison officer, Steve Lee, told Neil Foster from Sovereign Independent UK that the pat downs are a requirement of the Grove Hotel itself. Foster was also told that “ it will not be as intrusive as currently being used at airports”. Foster writes:

“Steve Lee and other police officers will be present at all times to ensure compliance of G4S within the agreed limits of their pat downs.”

None other than Barack Obama has given praise to G4S “for its successful commitment to hiring returning military veterans”- which leads us to pray we will receive more gentle treatment from the G4S security personnel than the people from the country’s they’ve just returned from.

The good news from the Hertfordshire constabulary is that media and protesters alike will be allowed inside the front entrance of the Grove Hotel. Foster reports:

“(…) the area suggested for the media is inside the front entrance of The Grove Hotel and the adjacent field to directly facing the front entrance, with a good view of all incoming and exiting vehicles as well as areas on the inside of the main entrance behind the small boxhedges to accommodate the large numbers of media wishing to cover the event.”

The bad news is that those who choose not to subject themselves to the groping hands of these private security guards are not allowed into the Grove premises.

“It has (…) been proposed that the area just outside the gates will be cordoned off with barriers to allow those who don’t wish to be searched the opportunity to protest in safety. It is a very busy road with large volumes of traffic and this is an understandable precaution to avoid any accidents.”

Despite Watford’s mayor Thornhill’s feelings about the expected protesters, it appears the police follows through on its promise to facilitate the protesters. Hertfordshire police liaison officer Lee told Foster that there will be toilets available as well as plenty of parking space:

“(…) parking for media and private vehicles may be made available on Hempstead Road which although having the same name as the main road passing the front entrance is actually directly opposite the main entrance and runs parallel to the main Hempstead Road accessible via Courtland’s Drive which is first left after the main entrance coming from the M25.”

In any case the choice is simple: either you avoid a pat down (which by the way, Mr. policeman, is by definition intrusive) but satisfy yourself with a back-seat position- or you endure a TSA-style procedure by Afghanistan vets and get front row tickets to the most secretive of international gatherings. Your choice. In any case, it’s good to know the constabulary will be on its utmost best behavior, facilitating those planning to make their way to Watford with the best possible fields on which to graze.

Watch out Watford: Here comes the secretive Bilderberg Group
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/watch-out-watford-here-comes-the-secretive-bilderberg-group-8626134.html

A meeting of global power brokers in a Hertfordshire hotel is exciting conspiracy theorists, but what are they really about?
James Cusick - Tuesday 21 May 2013

Whether it’s the shape-shifting group of reptilian descendants from the constellation Draco who control humanity, or the shadowy cabal of powerful financiers and politicians who covertly run all governments, conspiracy theorists are once again preparing for their annual jamboree of protest against those who really rule the world, this year in the highly secretive destination of... Watford.

For three days beginning on 6 June, a five-star hotel in Chandler’s Cross that normally hosts the England football team before Wembley matches, will turn over its 227 luxury rooms and 300-acre estate grounds to the über-secretive Bilderberg Group.

The Grove, once the home of the earls of Clarendon where prime ministers such as Palmerston and Walpole were guests and where a young Queen Victoria started the fashion for “the weekend break”, will turn back the clock when it welcomes around 140 of Europe and America’s most powerful leaders from banking, finance and politics with a scattering of royalty and aristocracy adding to the elite guest list.

Due to a tradition that stretches back to 1954 and the first conference held at the Hotel de Bilderberg in Oosterbeek in the Netherlands, nothing that is discussed or agreed at a Bilderberg meeting is reported. Until recently even the names of those who were invited was kept secret.

That tradition, however, according to discreet soundings made by The Independent on Sunday, could be about to change with the new generation of Bilderbergers, who are apparently uncomfortable with the total exclusion of the media.

The conference is the only “activity” of the secretive Bilderberg Group. The list of participants usually includes former US presidents, soon-to-be presidents, UK prime ministers-in-waiting, finance ministers from the leading Western democracies, and presidents of organisations such as the World Bank and the bosses of the largest multinational corporations.

Clinton, Blair, Bushes senior and junior, Cameron, Osborne, Kissinger, Bill Gates and, strangely, Peter Mandelson, have all been Bilderberg invitees in recent years.

Putting a global elite all in one place, and banning any media from attending or reporting what has been said, has led to a vast industry of wild conspiracy which suggests Bilderberg is a “world government meeting in the shadows”.

Watford, if the conspiracy theorists are correct, will be the place where the locations of the next wars are decided and where the next global pandemics will be created to boost the profits of the giant pharmaceutical industries. And forget democracy and ballot boxes – Watford will be where the next leaders of major world powers are actually anointed.

The masses expected to travel to Watford to protest at Bilderberg’s alleged grand design of one world government, centralised foreign policy, global obedience, enslavement, and global tax strategy, appear not to be worrying Hertfordshire Police.

“We’ve experience of dealing with these things,” said a force spokesman, “Some of our senior officers went to the G8 at Gleneagles – we’ve a resilient set-up.”

The force were less than pleased when Watford’s elected mayor, Dorothy Thornhill, warned that the town should be prepared for violent protests. “That was less than helpful,” said one officer. “But she’s revisited her comments. This is being blown up to be a bit bigger than it’s going to be.”

Nevertheless, specialist officers from the Metropolitan Police are being drafted in to assist a combined team from Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridge constabularies who are advanced in their preparations for Bilderberg 2013.

Five pitches belonging to the Fullerians Rugby Club, which backs on to The Grove estate, will be used as the police’s security headquarters for the three days of Bilderberg. “We’d no idea why the police wanted to hire the entire club,” said one Fullerians’ committee member. “But the season is finished, so we didn’t care. We took their money. But if we still had games left, then world government or not, we’d have said find somewhere else.”

Hertfordshire Police would make no comment on the potential security implications of discovering “giant lizards” in the grounds of The Grove. The throwaway line was a tongue-in-cheek reference to the belief of leading New Age conspiracy guru, David Icke. The former BBC presenter has written about the “Babylonian Brotherhood” of “inter-stellar reptilian humanoids” whose bloodline now includes US presidents, UK and Canadian prime ministers; with the House of Windsor described by Icke as “seriously reptilian”.

Icke has suggested that the Bilderberg Group, along with Illuminati, Chatham House, the IMF and the UN, all have a goal of world domination by micro-chipping the world’s population.

“Reporters” from some of the US’s most visited conspiracy websites, have already visited The Grove and claim the 2013 agenda will be focusing on “intellistreet” surveillance technology that can spy on populations 24/7; how the democratisation of 3-D printing of guns must be stopped; and how new strains of bird flu will be used to boost profits of leading drugs companies.

Although those who attend Bilderberg Group gatherings are sworn to secrecy, the Independent on Sunday spoke to a number of delegates who had attended some of the gatherings over the last four years. One, a UK politician, said: “It really is not that exciting, in fact it’s a bit run of the mill.” He compared it to the annual World Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Another delegate said that most of the three days was taken up by “intense plenary sessions that focused on major global issues – but a lot of the most valued contact centred on informal lunch chats”.

Although the tradition of confidentiality was mostly defended, another diplomatic delegate said the younger generation of Bilderberg guests felt different about how useful the closed-door approach had become and were uncomfortable with the policy of total media exclusion. He said : “I sympathise with those who tell us the confidentiality policy only encourages the conspiracy theorists. It does.”

Bilderberg Group funding pro-EU organisations

The Bilderberg Group has been accused of funding and supporting pro-euro and pro-world government organisations.

Gerard Batten (UKIP) raised some serious questions recently about who is influencing and funding the Centre for British Influence in Europe, after comments were made by politicians Kenneth Clarke MP and Lord Peter Mandelson after the launch of the Centre for British Influence in Europe.

The real difficulty with these stories is the lack of empirical evidence; Bilderberg, banking cartels etc operate in secret, which provides them with plausible deniability.

Bilderberg organisers agree to help cover cost of security at The Grove hotel meeting
3:34pm Tuesday 21st May 2013 in News
By Ben Endley, Senior reporter
http://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/news/10433204._/?
The organisers of the Bilderberg Meeting will help cover the cost of policing their upcoming meeting in The Grove.
The secretive summit in the Watford hotel from June 6 to June 9 will see around 140 of the world’s most influential figures including leading politicians, captains of industry and respected academics descend on the Hempstead Road hotel.
Hertfordshire Constabulary declined to provide a figure for either the total cost of policing the event - which is also expected to attract hundreds of demonstrators - or the contribution from the Bilderberg Group.
Funding will also be sought from other sources, and representatives from the force are currently in talks with the Home Office.
However, a spokesman confirmed the organisers had appointed a private security firm to work inside the venue while police will keep the peace outside.
A police spokesman said: "Hertfordshire Constabulary has a duty to prevent crime, maintain the Queen’s Peace, protect the public and prevent damage to property.
"The organisers of the event are paying for a private security firm who will be providing security at the venue. "In addition, the organisers have agreed to contribute towards policing costs relating to the event.
"As we do not disclose the costs of operations prior to their event, we will not disclose the amounts at this stage."

British taxpayers to pay 'millions' towards secretive Bilderberg meeting security
Taxpayers will have to pay millions towards policing the secretive Bilderberg meeting of the global elite due to gather in a Hertfordshire hotel next week.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/10089131/British-taxpayers-to-pay-millions-towards-secretive-Bilderberg-meeting-security.html
http://www.infowars.com/british-taxpayers-to-pay-millions-towards-secretive-bilderberg-meeting-security/
By Rowena Mason, Political correspondent - 3:31PM BST 30 May 2013
The clandestine meeting of royalty, prime ministers and business chiefs is taking place in Britain for the first time since 1998, sparking fears of "violence and disturbance" by anti-capitalist protesters.
The Bilderberg organisers, who include Tory Cabinet minister Ken Clarke, do not release a guest list but a roll-call of luminaries are expected to descend on a luxury Watford hotel from June 6, forcing police to step up security.
Hertfordshire police have refused to release the cost of security for the event, which has previously drawn anti-capitalist protests in other locations around the world.
However, they are in talks with the Home Office about a grant for "unexpected or exceptional costs" that is only given out if it threatens the stability of the force's policing budget. The final bill would have to total more than one per cent of the police force's overall spend - or about £1.8 million - for the grant to be successful.
The invitation-only Bilderberg meetings are attended by around 140 members of the international elite.
Previous guests are thought to have included Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller, Prince Charles, Peter Mandelson, Lord Carrington, David Cameron and Queen Beatrix of Holland but the list of attendees is different every year.
The cloak of secrecy surrounding the meetings, which ban journalists from attending, has fuelled conspiracy theories that so-called Bilderbergers are planning global domination and world unification.
However, the event is most often likened to a political version of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, which draws members of the economic elite to discuss current affairs and ideas.
Its steering commitee includes Mr Clarke, Cabinet minister without portfolio, Thomas Enders, chief executive of defence company EADS, and Peter Sutherland, the chairman of Goldman Sachs.
Some activists have decided to hold a Bilderberg Fringe Festival - described by its organisers as a peaceful weekend of speakers, comedy, music, workshops, arts and entertainment nearby.
However, Dorothy Thornhill, the mayor of Watford, has raised fears that the summit could also bring "violence."
She told the Watford Observer: “I have my concerns about it because it does attract people who can and do cause violence and disturbance.
“But I am confident the police will be able to minimise that and give them their right to protest.
“I am ambivalent about whether this is a good thing. It’s potentially a positive thing as long as things don’t kick off.
Hertfordshire Police said the Bilderberg Group has agreed to contribute some of the cost of security, but taxpayers will have to cover the rest of the bill.
The force said it could not yet estimate the cost to the taxpayer of policing the event or whether it will need to draw on reinforcements from nearby forces.
"The organisers of the event are paying for a private security firm who will be providing security at the venue," the spokesman said.
"In addition, the organisers have agreed to contribute towards policing costs relating to the event.
"As we do not disclose the costs of operations prior to their event, we will not disclose the amounts at this stage."
The last time the Bilderberg Group met in Britain was in Turnberry in Scotland in 1998. This year's event will be at the Grove Hotel in Watford, which has been booked out for the duration of the conference from 6th to 9th June.

[willow the wip]

http://www.ukcolumn.org/article/bilderberg-2013-birth-global-tax-system

The secret gathering has been gradually forced into public view in recent years, and the run-up to Bilderberg 2013 has been one of great anticipation and not without its share of news.

First came the false start from the alternative media regarding the meeting’s actual location, with many claiming it would be held again at the Westfield Marriot in Chantilly, Virginia. This was followed by the announcement that the meeting will take place 30 minutes north of London, at the Grove Hotel in Hertfordshire, England, and small media circus is expected the year following the announcement that a ‘Bilderberg Fringe’ festival is being organized adjacent to the venue - an event certain to attract hundreds, if not thousands of revelers, press and alternative media personalities. Add to this the news that long time Bilderberg sleuth and American Free Press correspondent, Jim Tucker had passed away on April 24th. Few people would even know the Bilderberg meetings ever took place if not for 30 years of digging and reporting by veteran journalist Tucker.

Beyond all the fanfare, however, the central question still remains: what items will be on the agenda at this year’s ultra-secret transatlantic steering committee? The answer to this question may be hidden in plain site.

Google is currently engaged in a battle over unpaid taxes in the UK, and which has led political commentators to now call for a new system of global taxation. Not surprisingly, this has become the chief topic of discussion at a series of global summits taking place during May and June.

Here’s how this major issue rose out of the Google debate, and how it will be folded into Bilderberg’s 2013 agenda, and later to the G8 Summit shortly thereafter…
Google’s ‘Pre-Bilderberg’ Summit

This past week witnessed another major global conference held at the very same Grove Hotel in Hertfordshire. The parallels to Bilderberg are striking – they share the same guests, the same venue, observe similar codes on conduct, and no doubt have similar items on their agenda. Google’s ‘Zeitgeist’ Global Summit, or “Big Tent” event, is effectively the internet’s version of a ‘Digital Davos’, where ‘the best and the brightest’ are invited to hear debates and keynote speeches from the likes of Bill Clinton, UK Chancellor George Osborne, UK Labour Party leader Ed Miliband and other celebrities including Stephen Hawking.

It’s worth pointing out here that both Osborne and Miliband have played the role of Google’s adversary in public during their corporation tax row, yet they are the corporation’s VIP guests in private.

Beyond the high profile talks and entertainment, there were of course, some serious discussion about ‘big ideas’ taking place under the big tent. This year’s event also required participants to observe ‘Chatham House Rules’, meaning key conversations should be held in the strictest of confidence and not be leaked to the outside world. As with Bilderberg, Google’s Big Tent discusses serious global changes that affect present and future generations - all behind closed doors.

Other persons of note at this year’s Google retreat were former US attorney general and Bush legal brain, Alberto Gonzales, alongside former Secretary of State Hillary ‘innovation’ adviser, Alec Ross, key Putin advisor Arkady Dvorkovich, and Swedish foreign affairs minister, Carl Bildt (Bilderberg attendee 2006-2012). The profile of Google and Bilderberg guests has seen an incredible overlap in recent years, which is a testament to the corporation’s own stated ambition to achieve a global dominion, not only over its marketplace, but over cultural and political life as well. The reality in 2013 is that Google is poised to manage nearly every aspect of our lives - our communications, our work, our social life and even our history.
Bilderberg’s Digital Tycoons

As Google’s global summit runs smoothly into Bilderberg this year, so have the two meeting agendas. Recent years have seen an increase in the influx of digital tycoons present at Bilderberg. Alongside software moguls like Craig Mundie, Head of Research and Strategy Officer at Microsoft (Bilderberg attendee 2006-2012), and Google CEO Eric Schmidt (Bilderberg attendee 2007-2011), the social media kingpins have also moved in to occupy key positions in Bilderberg’s top steering committees.

A key player in amongst them is Peter Thiel, head of Clarium Capital, the digital investment house that provided the financial clout which allowed for online ventures like Paypal, Facebook, LinkedIn and Friendster to dominate their digital marketplaces. Thiel was promoted to Bilderberg committee head in 20ll and has emerged as a key player not only in the online industries, but also as an influencer in US political spheres, gaining attention recently as a prominent backer of Kentucky’s Republican junior Senator Rand Paul.
New global ‘Google Tax’ already in the works

The convergence of the Google Summit, its tax battle, and Bilderberg 2013 may seem innocent enough on its surface, but the timing is no mere coincidence. UK leadership have whipped up a frenzy in the media over Google’s alleged tax sins, leaving the public clamouring for a solution. The words “never let a good crisis go to waste” certainly chime in well here.

Two weeks ago, a major UK clash erupted between No. 10 Downing Street and Google over the issue of corporate tax evasion. Google’s Matt Brittin was grilled by the UK’s Commons Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and its chair Margaret Hodge, who accused Google “doing evil” by using an elaborate array of offshore entities in a “smoke and mirrors” financial maze designed to avoid paying any significant tax into UK coughers. Both PM David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne also came out loudly in public accusing Google of being ‘immoral’. Google is said to have only chipped in 6 million GBP in 2011 out of its 3 billion GBP turnover in that same year. Google’s Peter Baron claims its in full compliance with UK law, issuing the public statement last week that, “None of the allegations put to us change the fact that Google pays the corporate tax due on its UK activities and complies fully with UK law.”

As the public feud between Google and Downing Street takes centre stage, backstage both UK Chancellor George Osborne and Google CEO Eric Schmidt - both committed fellow Bilderberg members, are said to have met in private at the Google event, and are poised to do so again at Bilderberg 2013. Both have attended the annual meeting almost continuously since 2006.

So this apparent Punch ‘n Judy match between Google and Downing Street appears just three weeks before this year’s Bilderberg summit, and four weeks before the G8, and suddenly the UK government and media outlets have become infested with a the new talking point: “we need for a new ‘global profit tax’.

While addressing the Google tax loophole, the UK’s Independent newspaper led by its liberal-leaning economics editor Ben Chu, goes on to essentially lay-out what is likely to be at the top of the agenda at Bilderberg 2013:

The cascade of revelations in recent months showing multinational companies doing a huge amount of business here and yet paying virtually no corporation tax has provoked widespread public demands for something to be done.

National governments could and should try to put a stop to this egregious "profit shifting" on their own. But a unilateral approach is plainly second best.

The natural solution is to secure an agreement by all the world's governments to tax the profits of multinational firms collectively and to divide up the revenues fairly between them. This division could be based on the amount of business done by the multinational in their various territories as revealed by their turnover and number of employees.

So is Google supplying the Trojan horse that many have been warning about for so many years? Maybe.

Will Bilderberg’s global elite use this perfect crisis moment as a pretext to build the framework for global taxation?

Although happy to float such a revolutionary idea in the media in advance of back-to-back Google and Bilderberg summits at the Grove Hotel, one thing which global taxation advocates fail to mention here is that if you institute a global taxation system then you would then need a global government to administrate it. Yes, you heard that right: global taxation = global government.

UK Column Editor Mike Robinson explains, “I think that the embryonic global institutions are already in place, and we’re going to see them being given more and more real ‘jobs’ to do as time goes on, and collecting corporation tax is clearly going to be one of those”.





History can certainly prove one thing: that the world’s wealthiest individuals corporations have consistently exploited all international tax loopholes for years now. Whatever commentators like Ben Chu and others are proposing will obviously be much easier to enforce on small to medium size businesses, as well as individual traders - all of whom have significantly less political leverage (and no invitations to Bilderberg) than the Googles and Facebooks of the world.
Post-Bilderberg: G8 Summit

Following the ratification of Bilderberg’s 2013 agenda in Watford on June 6–9th, the next step is normally to disseminate this same agenda on to the G8 heads of state. Conveniently, this year’s G8 summit will held June 17-18 at the Lough Erne golf resort in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. David Cameron and George Osborne’s new plan for Google is already expected to be very high on the agenda at the G8 meeting, where world leaders including Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin will be in attendance. Henceforth, ahead of the G8, the UK government is expected to play their key role in promoting the new global tax system, by publically advocating, “new strong international standards to make sure that global companies pay the tax they owe.”

Coincidentally, this year’s G8 in Northern Ireland will be the biggest police operation in country’s history (and that’s saying a lot), with an estimated 8,000 officers from the surrounding counties, and from as far as England and Wales, all drafted in to secure the area for what many now believe has essentially become a global government operations meeting in all but name.
Other recent attempts at a global tax

The financial component of this global tax and government equation is actually already in place, and that is the World Bank. The first administrative working model for a global taxation structure was originally unveiled in 2009 at the United Nations Climate Summit in Copenhagen. Delegates at that event floated their plan for a global carbon tax that would be collected and then deposited into a slush fund which was to be administered by the World Bank. There plan also entailed the poorer, developing nations footing most of the bill for this operation, while the wealthier nations would receive a free pass. The secret plan was thwarted at the last minute thanks to the infamous Danish Text Leak, which were serialized in the Guardian newspaper at the time.

Although popular in socialist circles, few have dared reveal the true picture of a global tax regime for fear of triggering a public backlash. Another such tax proposals have been pushed into the public sphere through the Occupy Movement in 2011, with called for a global tax on financial transactions, or a global “Robin Hood Tax”. As was the case in Copenhagen two years earlier, proponents called for a tax structure without borders, yet few dared mention who would be in charge of administering and distributing the revenues. Such plans pose the very real danger of further centralizing power into the international banking community who would be asked to handle and perhaps hypothecate on these enormous slush funds.

Which brings us back to this latest global ‘google tax’ proposal, which ultimately begs the question: when will their global government structure be unveiled?
What is the global collective?

Plans for erecting an entirely new global tax system should worry anyone who values the concept of national sovereignty because any solution that entails the collection of tax by way of elite international “collective” of nations, and where “revenues are to divided up fairly between them” is suggesting a form of global collectivism, or communism. This is also the fundamental problem with EU plans to levy new taxes on member nations – for any citizen it’s simply another master to serve.

Shocking as that may be, these issues are exactly what is being discussed behind closed doors at each of these global summits taking place in May and June of 2013.

What’s worse, is that this entire construct could be ushered in without any vote being cast by an citizen in the individual countries - which is about as undemocratic as it gets. This remains one of the fundamental flaws at the heart of the seemingly utopian ideal which is global government.

'The Man' - Screenplay Starring Stephen Fry, Explaining The Bilderberg / New World Order http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGVPdeYpil0

Published on 12 May 2013

This fantastic short film Starring Stephen Fry goes a long way in showing just how the world is controlled and manipulated by the few. An ultimate goal of a New Global Order ruled by the 1%.

Stephen Fry, Zoë Wanamaker, Stellan Skarsgård and Hayley Atwell star in a Sandi Toksvig's chilling look at how an unelected few decide the fate of the masses.

Storyline - A young fledging banker from the 5th generation of the 'Bank' meets a knowledgeable professor (Stephen Fry) and his colleague (Wanamaker) at an exclusive hotel for what she believes to be a routine meeting with clients handed down to her by her father. As it turns out, she is seriously unaware of the details regarding her role and the people she is about to advise.
She is still floundering when 'The Man' (Skarsgård) arrives disguised as a waiter, and changes into a suit which he had hidden under a cloche. Pulling her even further from her corporate comfort zone, they force her to join them in a game of cards while they discuss the agenda for the following day's meeting with the "leaders of tomorrow". Convinced she is living in "some kind of Dan Brown novel", she learns the shocking truth about SARS, Al Qaeda, Third World debt and the Congo.

What she discovers means that she will never believe what she hears or reads again, and that the people in the room play a secret role in the manipulation of the entire world to ensure that the West always reigns supreme.
This year Bilderberger meetings at the GROVE _ Watford next month..
What an apt name for the location – THE GROVE – a place for high witchcraft to occur –

Ex 34:13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:

De 7:5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.

De 12:3 And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.



Et.al.

This has quite a lot of speculation being described as fact IMO.
Clearly something has to be done about Tax Havens and what's wrong with that?
Bilderberg may even close the loopholes now they are by far the richest in the world. Crooks that own the banks and other wealth is the real problem IMO,

Royalty and statesmen to descend on Watford hotel for secret Bilderberg summit amid fears of violent anti-Capitalist protests

Journalists banned from attending the mysterious event
Mayor of Watford says violent protest could erupt
Meetings started in 1954 with 140 European and American leaders invited each year

Important guests: Former secretary of state Henry Kissinger is believed to have attended the elite secret meeting
British taxpayers will have to foot the bill for the ‘exceptional costs’ of policing of the clandestine Bilderberg meeting to be held in Watford next week.
The annual meeting of royalty, prime ministers and business chiefs - famous for being shrouded in secrecy - is taking place in Britain for the first time since 1998.
Given the amount of – so far unnamed - prestigious people set to attend the event at the luxury Watford hotel in Hertfordshire, local police have been forced to step up security, which will be part-funded by the government.
The cloak of secrecy surrounding the meetings, which ban journalists from attending, has fuelled various conspiracy theories, including that attendees are plotting world domination.
As a result, there are fears that anti-capitalist protesters will cause ‘violence and disturbance’ at the meeting on 6 June.
Hertfordshire police have refused to release the cost of security for the event, which has previously drawn mass demonstrations in other locations around the world.
However, they are in talks with the Home Office about a grant for ‘unexpected or exceptional costs’ that is only given out if it threatens the stability of the force’s policing budget.
Dorothy Thornhill, the mayor of Watford, told the Watford Observer: 'I have my concerns about it because it does attract people who can and do cause violence and disturbance.
‘But I am confident the police will be able to minimise that and give them their right to protest.


Tory Minister without portfolio Kenneth Clarke (left) and PM David Cameron are expected to be among the 140 invited guests in attendance

Policing resources in Watford have been stretched to accommodate the elite guests that will arrive next week. Protest are expected to break out
‘I am ambivalent about whether this is a good thing. It’s potentially a positive thing as long as things don’t kick off,’ she said.
The invitation-only Bilderberg meetings, which began in 1954, are attended by around 140 people of influence from North America and Europe.
Previous guests are thought to have included Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller, Prince Charles, Peter Mandelson, David Cameron and Queen Beatrix of Holland.

Bilderberg June 6 - 9 Conference
http://warisacrime.org/content/bilderberg-june-6-9-conference?

By Stephen Lendman - Posted on 30 May 2013
Bilderberg June 6 - 9 Conference
by Stephen Lendman
Its four-day meeting occurs annually. It's a rite of spring. British political economist Will Hutton calls the group the "high priests of globalization." Powerful movers and shakers have their own agenda.
They discuss key issues. They do it year round. Once annually they meet face-to-face. They plot strategy to exploit the world's riches. They want them for themselves. They try to keep meeting dates, locations, and issues to be discussed secret.
Word gets out. It's official. Britain's five-star Grove Hotel is this year's venue. It's a Hertfordshire, England hotel resort. It calls itself "London's cosmopolitan country estate."
It's 18 miles from London. It's 30 minutes from Heathrow Airport. It's ideal for secluded meetings. Great pains are taken to keep journalists, activists, and other uninvited guests away.
On May 13, Infowars reporters Paul Joseph Watson and Jon Scobie visited the Grove Hotel. They claim to have "groundbraking" information.
Google's CEO Eric Schmidt is a regular Bilderberg attendee. Watson and Scobie said his company is "merging" with Bilderberg.
"Google’s annual Zeitgeist conference, which has been based at the Grove since 2007, immediately precedes the Bilderberg Group conference by a matter of days."
"Backed up by prior research, we were able to confirm in conversations with hotel managers and others that the Grove is now a central base for Google’s agenda to control the global political and technological landscape."
Bilderberg's "being recast as 'Google-Berg' - partly because of efforts on behalf of activists to tear away the veil of Bilderberg’s much cherished secrecy, and partly as a means of re-branding authoritarian, undemocratic secret gatherings of elites as trendy, liberal, feel-good philanthropic-style forums like Google Zeitgeist and TED."
In May 2012, London's Telegraph headlined "Google invites the best and brightest into its Big Tent."
It's Google's annual Zeitgeist conference. The Telegraph compared it to annual Davos World Economic Forum meetings. Major global figures participate in both.
Eric Schmidt thinks "privacy is a relic of the past," said Infowars. He "plans to turn Google into the ultimate Big Brother."
He and Bilderberg members share a common agenda. In part, it reflects a "collectivist, permanently networked world (without) individuality and privacy."
Bilderberg's grand design is one-world government comprised of rulers and serfs. It wants total unchallenged global control.
Infowars said its "inside source" listed the following June issues for discussion:destroying Iran's nuclear facilities within three years;prolonging war on Syria by arming anti-Assad elements;the threat of a global pandemic; perhaps it's a planned depopulation scheme;controlling 3D printing;Internet control through "cyber resilience;"establishing a ministry of truth; Orwell explained its mission and more, saying:
"The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation."
"These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink."
Other Bilderberg topics include:smart cities for mass surveillance;diffusing austerity induced social protests; preventing Britain from leaving the EU;propping up the euro to keep the Eurozone intact;minimal 2013 economic growth;increasing central bank power; transferring more wealth from ordinary people to corporations and super-rich elites; and preventing a growing credit bubble from popping.
In 2007, Privacy International's "Race to the Bottom" report addressed privacy rankings of Internet service companies. A previous article discussed its comments on Google, saying:
"....throughout our research we have found numerous deficiencies and hostilities in Google's approach to privacy that go well beyond those of other organizations."
It's "an endemic threat to privacy. This is in part due to the diversity and specificity of Google's product range and the ability of the company to share extracted data between these tools, and in part due to Google's market dominance and the sheer size of its user base."
"Its aggressive use of invasive or potentially invasive technologies and techniques" is unmatched.
It's able to "deep drill into the minutiae of a user's life and lifestyle choices." It has no qualms about doing it irresponsibly.
It retains volumes user information. No limitations are placed on its subsequent use or disclosure. Users aren't able to delete or withdraw it.
It retains all "search strings and associated IP-addresses and time stamps for at least 18 to 24 months, and does not provide users with an expungement option."
It has other personal information on hobbies, employment, addresses, phone numbers, and more. It retains it after users delete their profiles.
It "collects all search results entered through Google Toolbar, and identifies all Google Toolbar users with a unique cookie that allows Google to track the user's web movements."
Information is retained indefinitely. It provides a permanent record. Doing so spurns OECD Privacy Guidelines and EU data protection law provisions.
Users can't edit or delete records and information. They can't access log information generated through various Google services, such as Google Maps, Video, Talk, Reader, or Blogger.
In 2004, Google also acquired the CIA-linked company Keyhole, Inc. It maintains a worldwide 3-D spy-in-the-sky images database.
Its software provides a virtual fly-over and zoom-in capability. It does so within a one-foot resolution.
It's supported by In-Q-Tel. It's a venture capital CIA-funded firm. It "identif(ies) and invest(s) in companies developing cutting-edge information technologies that serve United States national security interests."
In 2003, its CEO, John Hanke, said:
"Keyhole's strategic relationship with In-Q-Tel means that the Intelligence Community can now benefit from the massive scalability and high performance of the Keyhole enterprise solution."
In 2006, former CIA clandestine services case officer, Robert Steele, said:
"I am quite positive that Google is taking money and direction from my old colleague Dr. Rick Steinheiser in the Office of Research and Development at CIA, and that Google has done at least one major prototype effort focused on foreign terrorists which produced largely worthless data."
"I think (Google is) stupid to be playing with CIA, which cannot keep a secret and is more likely to waste time and money than actually produce anything useful."
On April 29, 2009, Willem Buiter's Financial Times article headlined "Gagging on Google," saying:
"Google is to privacy and respect for intellectual property rights what the Taliban are to women's rights and civil liberties: a daunting threat that must be fought relentlessly by all those who value privacy and the right to exercise, within the limits of the law, control over the uses made by others of their intellectual property."
It should be strictly regulated, "and if necessary, broken up or put out of business." It "lays the foundations for corporate or even official Big Brotherism."
Google Street View's addition to Google Maps, "provides panoram(ic) images visible from street level in cities around the world."
"The cameras record details of residents' lives." They do so without permission. Personal privacy is violated.
It's also done through tracking cookies or "third-party persistent cookies." They assist interest-based advertising. It's known as behavioral targeting.
In the wrong hands, information can be used "to put a commercial squeeze on people, but also to extort and blackmail them."
In government hands, it enhances "a pretty effective and very nasty police state."
Can Google be trusted to use this information responsibly? "Of course not." It's a business run by "amoral capitalists." It seeks profits by any means.
Google and other Internet search engines "should not be trusted because they cannot be trusted." Because of its size and dominance, Google's "the new evil empire of the internet." It's a menacing "Leviathan."
If true, partnering (merging) with Bilderberg enhances the threat. Institutionalized spying endangers everyone. Today's technology exceeds the worst of what Orwell imagined.
Big Brother isn't fiction. It's watching everyone all the time for any reason. It does so with sweeping technological effectiveness. It makes Bilderberg's ideal world more possible.
A Final Comment
During Bilderberg's conference, police state conditions will apply. Nearby Grove Hotel residents will be affected. Unprecedented security will be enforced. Operations will be round-the-clock.
Area residents will have to show police passports, drivers licenses, or other accepted photo IDs to get home. Civil liberties will be suspended. De facto martial law will replace them.
What's planned may be prelude to what's coming. Boston experienced lockdown. It can happen anywhere anytime. Perhaps manufactured reasons will enforce it nationwide.
America and Britain are vulnerable. So are other Western nations. Longstanding freedoms are fast eroding. They're vulnerable to disappearing any time.

Occupy Bilderberg
May 30, 2013 AFP

• Bilderberg Festival plans massive presence outside 2013 UK meeting site

By The Staff at AFP
http://americanfreepress.net/?p=10704

When Bilderberg group attendees arrive near Watford, England in early June for the annual secret gathering, they will likely be greeted by an entire festival that has been organized on the outer grounds of the posh Grove Hotel, where the 2013 meeting will take place, June 6-9. This could represent a major publicity breakthrough and help amplify the urgent message about the existence of this powerful organization as well as who is behind it.

The group is an elitist set of corporate heads, major politicians, media moguls and financial kingpins who meet each year in guarded, closed-door policy meetings, to determine how the world should go—whether the people of the world like it or not.

The longtime American mainstream media blackout about the Bilderberg meetings—elite gatherings, which date back to 1954 when this globalist group first started skulking into luxury hotels to assess their status and make their profiteering plans—eroded considerably last year in Chantilly, Virginia. There, The Washington Post—whose publishers have long participated as Bilderberg insiders but never reported a word about it—sent a photographer and printed a news story about the Va. confab. AMERICAN FREE PRESS’s team cheered and ran a story about it.

Organizers of the “Bilderberg Fringe Festival” held a warm-up celebration on May 25 outside the gates of the Grove Hotel, where Bilderberg will meet in June. They are calling themselves the “Bilderberg Welcoming Committee,”which is made up of “an umbrella organization consisting of pro-transparency campaigners.” Some are calling this year’s overall movement “Occupy Bilderberg.”

UK activist Nick Martian informed this newspaper May 22 that the festival has been organized under the auspices of a group called Passing Clouds, which has an address of 1 Richmond Rd., Dalston, E8 4AA London. Passing Clouds describes itself as being “run by the people for the people. . . . We actively seek progressive change within our system and our society to ensure a peaceful future for all people on the planet.”

The Fringe Festival will happen June 7-9 and will feature Bilderberg critics Alex Jones of Infowars.com, UK activist David Icke and others in a speakers’ area near the group’s press office.

The festival’s Internet postings show that a little levity is part of the mix. There is an announcement for “Bilderberg Bingo,” with the bingo cards featuring the faces of David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger and other longtime Bilderbergers.

The elite of finance capitalism meet in the UK next week in closely guarded secrecy
May 31st, 2013
http://www.michaelmeacher.info/weblog/2013/05/the-elite-of-finance-capitalism-meet-in-the-uk-next-week-in-closely-guarded-secrecy/

Bilderberg is coming to Britain next week to plot the next steps for a desperately failing global capitalism. The Bilderberg conference is the regular get-together of the Western financial elite and top business corporates at which amid intensive mutual lobbying they try to coordinate their plans to maximise their interests over the coming period. It is attended by top bankers, leading corporate bosses, the heads of the key UN institutions (IMF, World Bank, WTO), EU Commissioners,and a smuttering of politicians from the US, Canada, UK and Europe seeking to understand better what are the next steps that the masters of the market are demanding. It is shrouded in deepest secrecy (no doubt that’s why Watford was chosen for the venue rather than London), secured by local policing paid for by funding washed through their very own charity, the Bilderberg Association. And it will be attended by George Osborne and Kenneth Clarke.

If politics is about power, and it is, these are the people with the most power in the world, or at least in the Western capitalist world, exercising dominant executive power over the global market-place. Whereas world political leaders often gather for little more than photocalls (e.g. G8 meetings) or for signing ceremonies pre-orchestrated by their sherpas, Bilderberg is a real meeting of decision-makers. Their Steering Committee is chaired by Henri de Castries, CEO of the French insurance giant AXA, the billionaire venture capitalist Peter Thiel who founded PayPal, Thomas Enders boss of EADS the European defence flagship, Peter Sutherland chair of Goldman Sachs, and (believe it or not) Kenneth Clarke.

Davos is where they already meet each winter, but for them that has one overriding disadvantage. It is open to the press. Whatever they may be planning, it cannot be directly discussed if it might cause an explosion outside. Bilderberg allows them to say what they really think and to do the deals they really need in the safe knowledge that it will leak no further. It is an anti-democratic cabal, or as Adam Smith would describe it – a conspiracy against the public interest, plotted in utter secrecy and devoid of any public accountability.

It will be interesting to see how many British Ministers attend. As you would expect in such unsavoury surroundings, Osborne, the Mandelson of the Right, has attended at least five times previously. If as before he is attending in his official capacity, he will need to explain how that is consistent with his public commitment in 2010 to “the most radical transparency agenda the country has ever seen”.
