If you don’t, the mincing Ford Foundation toady Chip Berlet will scoff at you as someone who’s full of “baloney” and who spouts “malarkey.” What Chip doesn’t seem eager to reveal is that the Ford Foundation helped finance America’s first Bilderberg meeting back in 1957. Instead, Chip has a tendency to link all Bilderberg skepticism to anti-Semitism, which is brain-explodingly ironic considering the Ford Foundation’s namesake.

Despite what the servile media ball-washers of the world’s golfing elite insist, alleging that international financiers manipulate global events and profit from hopelessly bloody wars is not the sole domain of schizophrenics and racists. Fervid abolitionist Lysander Spooner made the same sort of allegations way before the Protocols appeared with his searing 1869 polemic No Treason. The highly decorated Marine General Smedley Butler claimed that in 1934, a group of industrialists approached him and asked him to help them overthrow FDR. He demurred and in 1935 penned the indispensable War is a Racket. Even that famously paranoid anti-Semitic tinfoil-hat-wearing loon John F. Kennedy—before someone blew out his brains—is on record condemning “secret societies.”

Still, the world’s smackably smug paid pundits sneer at the very idea of the Bilderbergers or any other group attempting to consolidate world finance and establish a “New World Order.”

It’s not as if any prominent Bilderbergers have ever alluded to such a thing.

From David Rockefeller’s Memoirs:

Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.

From Denis Healey, member of the Bilderberg Steering Committee:

To say we were striving for a one-world government is exaggerated, but not wholly unfair.

And it’s not as if perennial Bilderberg attendee Henry Kissinger mouths the term “New World Order” all the time or writes entire New York Times editorials with the phrase in the title.

So why would anyone think that the Bilderberg group convenes yearly for anything beyond harmlessly polite banter and a lavishly catered buffet? What are you—nuts?
