Montreux hosts Bilderberg's secret meeting
André Kudelski is organizing this private summit, which will include the French Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire.
By Pierre Veya ABO + Updated at 08:03
No need to try to book a room at the Fairmont Montreux Palace. It is complete. Required by the Bilderberg Conference, a private summit that will bring together 130 high-level participants.
Heads of State, bosses of multinationals, scientists, they will debate the state of the world in the greatest secrecy from May 30 to June 2. Among others will be the French Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire, the Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mark Rutte, the candidates for the succession of Angela Merkel, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer and the German Minister of Defense Ursula von Leyen.
In addition to André Kudelski, Switzerland will be represented by the President of the Ueli Maurer Confederation, Martina Hirayama, Secretary of State for Training, Research and Innovation, Tidjane Thiam, Credit Suisse CEO, André Hofmann, Vice President of Roche and Pietro Supino, President of Tamedia. This is the first time that the conference is held in French-speaking Switzerland and that a President of the Confederation is attending from one end to the other.
André Kudelski gave us an interview a few days before the opening of the conference.
Under what conditions did you join the Bilderberg Group?
This is Daniel Vasella, the former president of Novartis, a member of the organizing committee of the conference who proposed my name among other candidates. It was in 2013. I had already attended several meetings, the first time in 2002, in the United States.
If I am not mistaken, you are today the only Swiss member.
Yes, the organizing committee is made up of thirty people from 19 countries today.
Do not you feel that you belong to a group of people who actually work for the strategic interests of the United States?
We do not discuss the interests of any particular country or region. The aim of the Bilderberg Conference is to create a dialogue between representatives of different parts of the world. What unites the participants: the defense of a democracy based on individual freedom, the rule of law and freedom of enterprise. The forum originates from the European political space and North America. The goal is really to facilitate dialogue and exchange.
Precisely, this is the big gap today between the "Allies" ...
On the issue of multilateralism, a central theme for several years, opinions and sensibilities are different and sometimes in opposition. Europe defends a multilateral and balanced vision, in short a vision of the world that is not based on a balance of power but on shared rules.
There is still a common philosophical basis: the future of capitalism.
To speak of the future of capitalism does not mean that it is considered the only possible system. Moreover, capitalism can take different forms, sometimes in contradiction with our values. For us, the defense of freedom and especially the freedom of expression and thought are cardinal values. It does not matter if participants display sensitivities of left, center or right. The important thing is that they adhere to the idea of democratic freedom and the rule of law.
What do you say to those who see the Bilderberg Conference as a private supranational organization? You are even accused of organizing a world government ...
Many of these critics are pure conspiracy fantasies. The conference is primarily a discussion forum. No decision or resolution is made. His sphere of discussion does not stop at the political or economic world. It encompasses issues that go far beyond, such as ethics, research,
innovation or climate protection. The criticisms you refer to date back to a time when the Bilderberg Conference was perceived as a transatlantic think tank, born in the wake of the Cold War.
So what is this conference for?
It offers an opportunity to debate in a framework on a human scale, outside the traditional constraints of diplomacy. It is a unique opportunity to meet people who have little or no opportunity to speak directly, confidently, without barriers and in a guaranteed confidentiality.
Do participants pledge to defend the views expressed? In other words, to defend the values of Bilderberg and influence the world ...
Certainly not, and people are always free to think, speak and act. They can
...?
...?
to discuss the discussions they have had or heard and undertake not to give an idea to a person, to preserve the frankness and the quality of the interventions. Each comes with its presuppositions and confront them with those of others, without the filter. This is the very richness of this type of rules. We are not aiming for a final synthesis but an exploration as complete as possible of the themes addressed.
Is not in contraction with a society that today demands greater transparency. I read that there is a report of the proceedings but it remains secret.
Personally, I do not see such a contradiction and besides there is no report of the conference.
Whence the suspicion of a lack of transparency?
Transparency is an essential, necessary value. But in a discussion process, confidentiality is just as important. A party committee or the management of a company can not communicate everything, just as the individual has a right to privacy and a private sphere to live. In Switzerland, at all levels of government, there are discussions that remain confidential. I do not imagine that a democracy can exist without confidentiality during the phases of reflection.
Diplomacy also offers opportunities for non-public dialogue, no?
Yes. But usually, a head of state is surrounded by many companions during the discussions. Here, there is no political or psychological barrier. People only commit themselves.
Do you not feel, once again, that elected officials are talking to each other and cut off from the daily realities that people live with?
In my experience, the Bilderberg Conference makes it possible to discuss particularly sensitive issues and to detect early on social, political or economic tensions and dynamics that are under way.
And between Allies, will we speak frankly?
It's not because people come together that these same people share the same ideas. This is precisely the opportunity to put forward different visions.
Is it true that people can not leave the hotel?
The rule is that the participants are present throughout the conference, so that the debates are nourished and deepened. So no question of coming for a panel, then to leave.
So, physically, Mr. Maurer or his government colleagues will be present on the three days ...
Yes.
So they can not go out?
They will still be able to go jogging or some other sport, but it is important that participants actively participate in the whole program.
Who finances the conference?
His members. It is based on a very light structure; its secretariat has a handful of people. Each member pays for his room and his travels.
Is this the first time that a President of the Confederation participates in the Conference?
As a participant in the whole conference, yes.
Did you have trouble convincing him?
…No, i dont think so.
Do you remember a meeting that marked you?
I remember a conference that took place before the US intervention in Iraq. At that moment I understood the dynamics that had begun. I will never forget him. I also remember a very rich discussion, in small committee with Emmanuel Macron while he was not yet minister. (24 hours)

Bilderberg conference 2019 in Montreux, Switzerland
Tuesday, 28. May 2019 , by Freeman 07:00
http://alles-schallundrauch.blogspot.com/2019/05/bilderberg-konferenz-2019-in-montreux.html
This year's Bilderberg conference will take place at the Fairmont Le Montreux Palace on the shores of lake Geneva. The date of the meeting is from Thursday the 30. Of may to Sunday the 2. June.
The reported the newspaper "24Heures".
André Kudelski, a long-standing member of the steering Committee, will be the host.
On the guest list to 130 people. Including the US Secretary of state Mike Pompeo, the Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, the French economy Rutte, Minister of the marrow, the German Minister of defence Ursula von der Leyen and the CDU-Annegret Boss Kramp-Karrenbauer.
The Hammer is the son-in-law of President Trump and his most important Advisor in the White house, Jared Kushner, will also be participating!!!
His "Eminence" Henry Kissinger, the yesterday its 96. Celebrated a birthday, it will of course be back and from his wheelchair from the yard.
Switzerland will be represented by Federal President Ueli Maurer, Martina Hirayama, Secretary of state for education, research and Innovation, Tidjane Thiam, CEO of Credit Suisse, André Hofmann, Vice President of Roche and Pietro Supino, Chairman of Tamedia.
It is questionable if the highest political representative of the Switzerland takes part in the Meeting.
The participants were invited to appear, without staff or assistants. The Hotel should not leave you during the conference if possible.
This year, the new strategic balance in the world, which is torn between the two great powers, China and the United States, in Montreux.
The future of Europe, climate change, China, Russia, and the future of capitalism, Brexit, ethics of artificial intelligence, social networks as a weapon, the importance of space and the threats to the cyber-war will also be discussed.
For "security reasons" kept the location of the meeting until the last Minute in secret. Click on it to enlarge the images.
The Fairmont Palace will not be during the summit are available. The participants undertake, there by 30. May to 2. June locked in to stay.
We long-time observers of the Bilderberg know it is so short notice, where and when the conference will be held, shows of this year, the organizers have kept the lid firmly on it.
It is the relative openness that they showed because of our detection and reporting since 2010, seems to have abandoned. You make it a giant secret.
See my previous 246 article about Bilderberg!
Here is my call and request to all ASR readers, particularly in Switzerland, help us to catch the participants with photos upon arrival on Thursday.
The Bilderbergers arriving from abroad, will arrive at the Geneva airport, to photograph a good opportunity with a Tele you, or in front of the Hotel when you arrive.
-----------
[some pretence of journalism - easy questions and mealy mouthed answers has been removed here]
---------------
Yes, Yes, again and again, you tell us, the Bilderberg conference would be the only club a harmless debate, a tea party, and therefore not important. As if the senior representatives of the policy of the EU, NATO, the military, the secret services, the corporations, insurance companies, banks and the media to reserve four days out of your calendar for it to travel half the world to talk to about the weather.
If it's so harmless is what's going on, why they make it such a big secret and no reporters? Why do you think? Because the heads of the media companies are also in the process, and a reporting ban. As influential and well-known people and major media are silent about it meet very.
In the past, the Bilderbergers have bragged about it, THEY had decided in the 1950s to form the European Union and the creation of the common currency, the EURO. What then in the following decades, the implementation of this decision by the leadership elite in the respective areas of delivery.
In addition, the Bilderbergers "king makers". Again and again, a relatively unknown politician to be invited to the conference, to get the blessing of the group, and then within a very short time the President, the Chancellor and the Prime Minister.
The most recent example is Emmanuel Macron, was at the Bilderberg 2014 meeting in Copenhagen, and then shortly thereafter President of France was. The task of the media is to bring the selected Person with targeted influence Opinion and Propaganda into the office.
Therefore, it is important to observe that politicians this year are in the process of selecting the images Berger for a leadership position.
For example, the next Prime Minister after the departure of Theresa May in England. The need to prevent the Brexit, the EU is the child of the Bilderbergers.
Maybe it is Tom Tugendhat, members of Parliament of the Conservative Party and Chairman of the foreign Affairs Committee, also participate.
UPDATE: After the publication of my article to 7:00 PM the Web-page of the Bilderbergers around 11:00 am updated and there is a press release published. In what is confirmed, I have already reported.

Royal SECRETS: How Prince Philip AND Prince Charles attended mystery Bilderberg Meeting
Prince Charles; Prince Philip
Prince Charles and Prince Philip have both attended the secretive meetings (Image: Getty)
BILDERBERG 2019 is under way today – and the secretive conference has been attended by many members of European royalty, including Prince Charles and Prince Philip.
By ANNA KRETSCHMER
PUBLISHED: 09:49, Thu, May 30, 2019
https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1133912/royal-news-prince-charles-prince-philip-bilderberg-2019-secret-meeting-spt/amp
The Bilderberg Group is a shadowy organisation that holds the Bilderberg Meeting in a different location every year. It was originally established in 1954 to strengthen US-European relations during the Cold War, and prevent another world war. However, it has attracted attention for its secretive ways, with reports from the proceedings and lists of its select number of attendees not publicly issued.
Prince Charles attended the secretive conference in 1986, to discuss the situation in South Africa.
At that time, South Africa was under the Apartheid regime and experiencing widespread civil unrest, with many nations imposing sanctions – although Britain did not.
That year, the meeting was held at Gleneagles, Scotland and the Prince of Wales was reported to have stayed overnight at the hotel after the debate.
Prince Philip attended Bilderberg twice, once in 1965 and once in 1967, alongside his uncle Lord Louis Mountbatten.
The secretive conferences often attract protestors (Image: Getty)
Many members of European royalty have attended the conference, most recently Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands in 2015.
Alongside royalty, the guest list is drawn from the military, financial institutions, academia and politics.
Margaret Thatcher was an attendee on at least three occasions from 1975 to 1986, and David Cameron attended during his time as PM in 2013.
The secretive nature of the annual conference has drawn the attentions of many conspiracy theorists over the years.
One of the main suggestions of the bizarre claims is that the secret society constitutes a “one-world” government, under self-selected non-elected rulers.
However, in 2001, Denis Healey, a Bilderberg group founder and a steering committee member for 30 years addressed the claims.
He said: "To say we were striving for a one-world government is exaggerated, but not wholly unfair.
“Those of us in Bilderberg felt we couldn't go on forever fighting one another for nothing and killing people and rendering millions homeless.
“So we felt that a single community throughout the world would be a good thing." |

Yep Welcome to Swiss LIFE just not Bilderberg  I felt Josh's shake-up from the Police as my own CH is a Police State where they can stop you anywhere anytime demand "your papers" as they say - ID card and driving licence and refuse to answer any questions WHY. Having been stopped TWICE in one day in Lausanne Ouchy along the quay side I did find a young friendly uniformed guy who said "oh we just do it randomly..." big smurk like "yes we intimidate to keep you all under control" and this is TRUTH Everyone lives in their sympathetic nervous system of fight-or-flight but don't know it - they are born into it and think it is normal Everywhere you walk or drive here, all you see is ATTENTION BEWARE PROHIBITED OBLIGATORY subliminal messages which consciously do nothing for the population but unconsciously keep them as SLAVES I am so happy Dan Dicks and Luke Z Rudkowski are saying it AS IT IS  I said elsewhere (as I share many videos articles as I can on my wall from them and also Tony Gosling who knows Swiss situation very well  ) if I were to release a youtube saying what they are saying, Police would swoop in on me and lock me up (possibly after ANONYMOUS neighbour denouncing.... this is their speciality "nothing to see like in Montreux streets yet all is seen from inside out ..." I hope they awaken the WORLD to RECOGNISE SWITZERLAND IS BILDERBERG LAND as Tony Gosling said. They ALL live here in-out freely because THEY CONTROL Rothschild country. The local population not even aware of what is going on in Montreux The joke here from all foreigners is "what is not obligatory/mandatory is prohibited, and what is not prohibited is obligatory" SAD TRUTH

Bilderberg 2019 Annotated Members List
https://vidrebel.wordpress.com/2019/05/29/bilderberg-2019-annotated-members-list/
I prefer an in depth look at the participants which is why I have been doing annotated Bilderberg participants lists for several years. This year has lots of AI experts. As usual lots of military experts and bankers plus media and politicians. But lots of experts in populist revolts and movements. Based on their invitations to attend, they seem to want to co-opt gender studies, Gays, Greens and the Trump administration.
BOARD
Castries, Henri de (FRA), Chairman, Steering Committee; Chairman, Institut Montaigne. Former Chairman and CEO, AXA; President of Institut Montaigne. AXA,the insurance giant is the 9th largest company in the world. An American unit of AXA was involved in the Wall Street fleeces Main Street scandal which was investigated by the New York state Attorney General. Member of the Steering Committee. The Institut Montaigne is a French tank funded by Bankers A former AXA chairman founded it in 2000. It is an AXA operation. They favor social cohesion (meaning they don’t want the rabble to revolt.) They have studied in depth race riots in the Paris suburbs but have since brought in millions of unvetted refugees. Either not very bright or are working to destroy Europe.) Castries was replaced as CEO of AXA on Sept 1, 2016.
Kravis, Marie-Josée (USA), President, American Friends of Bilderberg Inc.; Senior Fellow, Hudson Institute. Senior Fellow, Hudson Institute(founded by Herman Kahn). It is funded by Eli Lily. She is from Montreal, Quebec, and is the third wife of financier Henry Kravis. She is an economist and serves on the board of major corporations. Returning member of the Steering Committee.
Halberstadt, Victor (NLD), Chairman Foundation Bilderberg Meetings; Professor of Economics, Leiden University. Member of the Steering Committee.
Achleitner, Paul M. (DEU), Treasurer Foundation Bilderberg Meetings; Chairman Supervisory Board, Deutsche Bank AG. Deutsche Bank has long been a favorite of Bilderberg. They helped fix interest rates and gold and silver prices. Remember Gordon Brown’s disastrous sale of UK gold? It was designed to drive down the price of gold and to save Deutsche Bank. It was contrary to British interests to sell gold far below market prices. He went to Harvard and worked for Goldman Sachs. He is on the Board at Bayer and Daimler (Mercedes.) He was the second Jewish CEO of Deutsche Bank in recent years. Bayer has taken over Monsanto. Anyone ready for GMO Round Up Ready babies?
PARTICIPANTS
Abrams, Stacey (USA), Founder and Chair, Fair Fight. She is a black lesbian who ran for and lost the race for Governor of Georgia.
Adonis, Andrew (GBR), Member, House of Lords. former Barclays & BBC Exec board, Chair, National Infrastructure Commission. He is an appointed peer who moved from the Liberals to Labour.

Bilderberg Ahoy! Pompeo and Kushner join the billionaire boat club
From a Swiss shore, the rich and mighty – and select, discreet reporters – could be seen enjoying the annual secretive summit

Bathed in late afternoon sun, secretary of state Mike Pompeo boarded a steamboat on Lake Geneva. He was there for drinks and nibbles with the King of Holland and the head of Nato, a glamorous end to a busy day at the Bilderberg summit.

Representing the White House, Jared Kushner wore a beatific smile as he strode towards the boat, thinking, perhaps, of how best to sell a war with Iran over a glass of frascati.

Security at the wharf was drum tight. Amid a sea of secret service personnel, Pompeo was accompanied by the US ambassador to Switzerland, Ed McMullen. The pair looked keen to continue the geopolitical strategizing over canapés.
The secretary general of Nato, Jens Stoltenberg, was flanked by heavily armed bodyguards as he strode along the jetty. He has attended the last three Bilderberg meetings, turning up for “informal discussions” with a watchful squad of security and staff.

Officers aboard a Swiss police launch scoured the waterfront for trouble. Nothing broke the golden calm apart from a lone voice from the quayside that advised Pompeo, in French, that he should play more tennis as he might be looking a little overweight. That was the gist of it, at least.

Up on deck, King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands chatted to James O Ellis, a former head of US Strategic Command, now a director of Lockheed Martin. A Netflix board member squeezed past on his way to the bar.

For the Dutch king to be seen networking with Lockheed Martin at Bilderberg might not be the best look: in the 1970s a lobbying scandal involving the company caused his grandfather, Prince Bernhard, to resign his public offices. Decades later, Bilderberg’s heady mixture of senior public figures, lobbyists and investors discussing policy behind closed doors remains hard to defend on transparency grounds. Even the air around the steamboat soirée, filled with the happy chatter of diplomats, industrialists and press barons, has an air of corruption about it. Although that might just be the gruyčre puffs.
At the ship’s stern a former chief executive of Google, Eric Schmidt, broke off from chatting to the CEO of French finance giant AXA to take snaps of the lake. An influential figure, Schmidt is chair of the Pentagon’s Defense Innovation Board and also heads a new US government advisory group on artificial intelligence.

Bilderberg has a keen and growing interest in high-tech and AI. Schmidt’s fellow Bilderberg insider Peter Thiel, the billionaire founder of PayPal and a director of Facebook, was seen arriving with the Swedish physicist and AI expert Sara Mazur.

They were followed along the jetty by LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, another adviser to the Pentagon on tech. The Microsoft board member and Bilderberg regular practically floated up the gangplank, looking delighted to feel the sun on his skin.

There were almost as many billionaires on the boat as there were bodyguards. And there were more journalists and commentators clinking glasses with bank bosses than outside the security cordon, reporting on the event.
This year’s conference was more than usually packed with “embedded” reporters who, as part of the deal, say nothing about what goes on. Here’s journalist John Micklethwait, editor-in-chief of Bloomberg News, happily putting it away between the head of Unesco on the left and another director of AXA on the right.

The Italian journalist Stefano Feltri strolled on board with cheery Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte. Feltri is right there, in the middle of one of the year’s biggest diplomatic summits, but he won’t be saying a word about it because of that white lanyard round his neck.

As the sun set on Lake Geneva, the boat set off for Chillon Castle, where Pompeo gave a Q&A and participants were treated to a banquet. It’s always fun to thrash out “a new strategic order” over a fondue.

In all, it was a bit eerie watching such a relaxed, twinkly drinks party in the context of a conference featuring so many Pentagon officials and advisers and Nato strategy chiefs. A large chunk of the agenda had a military flavour: “The weaponisation of social media”, “cyber threats”, even “the importance of space”. A couple of weeks ago, Stoltenberg announced that Nato is about to announce a new “space policy”.
Another glass of champagne?

SILICON VALLEY IN SWITZERLAND: BILDERBERG 2019 AND THE HIGH-TECH FUTURE OF TRANSATLANTIC POWER | OPINION

The Americans have come to Bilderberg in force this year. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo arrived on Saturday afternoon in a motorcade so long it stretched halfway back to Geneva. He'll be sharing his thoughts on “A New Strategic Order” with the head of NATO, two prime ministers, the German foreign minister, the King of Holland, and any number of finance bosses and billionaires, many of them from the world of tech.
A slew of Silicon Valley luminaries are attending this year's elite transatlantic conference at a heavily-guarded five-star hotel on the shores of Lake Geneva. They include Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, who is making his first appearance at the secretive summit, and his fellow Microsoft board member, Reid Hoffman, who's a regular face at the Bilderberg buffet.
The White House is making itself felt at this year's conference, by sending along not only Pompeo, but Trump's dealmaking diplomat son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and two members of his National Security Council. Not to be outdone, the Pentagon has sent two senior officials: their top military strategist and the technical director for AI.

CHARLIE SKELTON
As the war machine gets smarter, and every last bit of weaponry becomes AI-enhanced, the lines between Silicon Valley and the Pentagon start to get awfully blurry. Sniff this year's Bilderberg and you can smell this new kind of war: “cyber threats” and “the weaponisation of social media” are on the agenda. And around the table are the head of GCHQ and the director of NATO's new StratCom Centre of Excellence, which spearheads “digital engagement” and psychological warfare.
This blurring of tech and war takes physical form in some of the participants at Bilderberg. Longtime conference insider and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt chairs the Pentagon's Defense Innovation Board and also heads up the new National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence. Two other members of the Defense Innovation Board are here in Montreux: Reid Hoffman, and the psychologist Adam M. Grant.
Alongside Schmidt on the Bilderberg steering committee are yet another two tech billionaires, Alex Karp and Peter Thiel. Karp is the CEO of Palantir, a shady data-analytics company which has just won a massive $800 million Pentagon battlefield intelligence contract. Palantir was set up in 2004 by Peter Thiel with backing from the CIA. Thiel, who was a co-founder of PayPal, is a director of Facebook and is high tech's most vocal supporter of Donald Trump.

CHARLIE SKELTON
Truly it boggles the mind what Donald Trump would think about his poor innocent son-in-law wandering into the murky world of Bilderberg, with its prime ministers and billionaire investors strategizing behind closed doors with Pentagon officials and NATO chiefs, all under the watchful eye of Goldman Sachs International.
And not just Goldman Sachs. In Montreux, as ever, there's a healthy number of high-finance bosses, including the chairmen of HSBC, Deutsche Bank and Santander and the CEOs of AXA and Credit Suisse. But as the movement in Bilderberg towards AI and tech continues, you can see within the group a fault line opening up between Wall Street and Silicon Valley.
A crisis is looming for Bilderberg, and not merely because of the rise in anti-globalization movements and a creeping loss of faith in the EU project. It's a crisis of leadership. With the Brexit, Frexit, Grexit and even Polexit dominoes threatening to fall, Bilderberg needs to gird its loins for the long haul if it wants the transatlantic alliance to thrive and its beloved EU to survive. But who's going to be doing the girding?
The problem Bilderberg faces is a loss of quality, of intellectual backbone. With David Rockefeller tucked away since 2017 in his cryogenic pod, and Henry Kissinger knocking on hell's door, you realize that Bilderberg is facing a generational crisis. You might not like or admire Henry Kissinger, you might want him strung up for war crimes, but you have to admit he's a heavyweight statesman and historian. He's a psychopath with vision. Where will Bilderberg find the serious ideologues to lead them into the 2020s?
Should they look to the academics? The globalists have their pet professors, like Niall Ferguson, now an American citizen, who once described himself as ”a fully paid-up member of the neo-imperialist gang”. But he doesn't have anything like the gravitas to get anywhere near the helm.
If you look around the current conference for people with enough substance — enough ideological meat on their bones to drive Bilderberg forward, you won't find it in finance, and you certainly won't find it in politics, because for the last few decades the really smart people have gone into engineering and tech. And that, surely, is where the center of gravity within Bilderberg will end up.
The two figures at Bilderberg who seem to have an aura of influence about them are Schmidt and Thiel. Over the years, Schmidt has been gently aligning himself as the heir to Kissinger, and has populated recent conferences with Google executives. The Libertarian Thiel has already engineered his lieutenant, Alex Karp, onto the steering committee.
Whichever one of them manages to grab the most sway, the shift in influence toward Silicon Valley will inevitably go along with an even further slide of power toward the U.S. and away from Europe. Tech is a force greater even than Kissinger, a radical reconstructive force that nothing in Bilderberg can withstand. And so the future of the group, which was begun by Europeans, will end up firmly in the hands of the Americans. |
