Ordinary people can only guess at the goings-on at the meetings of the secretive Bilderberg Group, which is bringing together the world's financial and political elite this week. Conspiracy theories abound as to what is discussed and who is there. Why, asks Tom de Castella?
The belief in secret cabals running the world is a hardy perennial. And on Thursday perhaps the most controversial clandestine organisation of our times - the Bilderberg Group - is meeting behind closed doors.
In the manner of a James Bond plot, up to 150 leading politicians and business people are to gather in a ski resort in Switzerland for four days of discussion about the future of the world.
Previous attendees of the group, which meets once a year in a five-star hotel, are said to have included Bill Clinton, Prince Charles and Peter Mandelson, as well as dozens of company CEOs.
First meeting in 1954, the aim was to shore up US-European relations and prevent another world war. Now under the group's leadership of former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and one-time EU vice president, Viscount Davignon, the aim is purportedly to allow Western elites to share ideas.
But conspiracy theorists have accused it of everything from deliberately engineering the credit crunch to planning to kill 80% of the world population. Longtime opponent and US radio host Alex Jones, heckled one meeting through a megaphone: "We know you are ruthless. We know you are evil. We respect your dark power."
Part of the reason for alarm is the group's secretive working methods. Names of attendees are not usually released before the conference, meetings are closed to the public and the media, and no press releases are issued.
The gnashing of teeth over Bilderberg is ridiculous, says Times columnist David Aaronovitch.
But Aaronovitch would say that wouldn't he.......................! And why do people believe in cabals? Well take a look at the higher echelons of TMBC and you will see a not so secret cabal in action!
What fascinating piece by the BBC. Read the full article here. Tameside Citizen

Jon Ronson's programme on Bilderberg made about 10 years ago or so was very interesting. IIRC he appeared to bottle out of digging further when his hotel room was burgled shortly after he and his film crew were apprehended wandering round the deserted hotel where the 'delegates' were due to arrive the following day (Mandelson was among their number that year). He was subsequently passed a copy of the minutes, a superficial gloss of which evinced predictable technocratic platitudes concerning our masters/captors' lofty plans that happen to involve us livestock
As for aaronovitch...
What about the 2012 Olympics and the allegation that the logo looks like 'ZION'. Is there anything in that?
is the moon made of blue cheese?
Never denounce conspiracy theories,that`s what they want you to do.and that's how they survive. (My belief as a Tamesider))

Those who skulk in dark corners are your enemy ie Freemasons,Bilderbergers and
The Illuminati.
Times columnist David Aaronovitch.
who commented on the Bilderbergers is capable of tremendous voracity, in his insults and accusations if he senses any disclosures which can,will,or does criticise any organisation which includes Jews.
I became one of his victims,but vigorously challenged his wild rhetoric.
Aaarononvitch is on the BBC regularly and therefore must be totally impartial.
To be honest I wouldn't be too sure he would be too impartial with a name like that. It sounds Russian or Eastern European.
Both wrong, his name belongs to a much smaller group of people than the Slavs.
The times is owned by Rupert Murdoch a man who according to this peoples laws belongs to them through his matrilineal line.
See the above link for an interesting insight into how this shadowy group have subverted european civilisation. Take a look at Europe 1911 an age of grand empires and technological wonder and compare it with the twiested image of the world today.
Yes, I was being ironic.
In 1978 Aaronovitch lived in Manchester at John Nash Crescent, Hulme. He was a leading member of the Communist Party according to the left wing paper "Socialist Challange".
A student , he was nominated as the "Broad Left" Candidate for NUS (National Union of Students) President, a position he was elected to and served for the academic year 1980 -81.
A keen wargamer he was described by the Daily Telegraph in June 1990 as a "BBC programme editor"
Can we ask for a Freedom of information request, to find out, what this Councillor did to be worth £52,000 over the last two years?
You mean to tell me, that, he runs matters?
The hidden hand does it all for him.
First class information from Tony. I always thought he was a leftie and now you have broved it. Thanks
The BBC would be just as keen to give him employment and airtime if he had a history of hard right politics.
Must go it's time for my medication.
What about forming a new organisation to take on Labour locally: 'British Independent Group Tackling Internal Tameside Strife' or BIGTITS for short.
Yes I definitely like the sound of that.
Here's a little fun quiz for you.
Answers to follow.
Which local charity with current and ex-councillors as trustees is overdue with it's accounts?
Name the councillors.
Answers:-
The Mayor of Tameside's Distress Fund.
Mrs M Downs
Cllr Jackie Forth
Cllr John Taylor.
Documents 4 months overdue.
I can just imagine the council letting you or I be four months late with ANYTHING.
I am surprised at Cllr Taylor, given his keenness in criticising the BNP when it's documents were late

Ah! Taylor ya Tosser.
Well done Mr DJ, get those accounts in Taylor.Wht are the Borough's legal overseers doing about it?
By the way Mr Roy West, what's happening about the complaint you put in about Councillor Wild's car parking stunt?
I have received a consultation document from the Government DEFRA
department because for 15 years I have ensured I obtain and collate all the facts regarding Air Pollution in Tameside and your reduced life span,and the diseases being caused.
Let me offer facts how (100%) you could expose everyone of your National and Local Politicians.of being completely negligent and not fit for purpose.
How everyone of them is directly complicit in reducing the life expectancy of 210,000 men,women and children and also your PCT and Dr Chand has done nothing about a scandalous health problem
How they keep you in the dark by falsifications and manipulations which have serious affects on your
health.
The local press know the problems but is also complicit in threats to family health by slanted and biased reports in supporting Labour.
As previously mentioned if any Politician in Tameside or Anyone from the Medical profession including the PCT would invite me to an open public debate on my substantiated and conclusive facts
then "bring it on"and be prepared to be totally and utterly shamed.
Should the TMBC Leader or his Deputy JT or any other Councillor try and defend these accusations please just try,and get swamped by facts not rhetoric.
I will add a few abbreviated examples over a period of weeks,to prove how your lives are being treated with utter contempt by TMBC
But maybe you don`t care about the lives of Tamesiders especially children.

Isn't TMBC run by a cabal of socialist egomaniacs?
Gangs of Asian youths are tormenting elderly and disabled people in Staincliffe, Yorkshire, with foul-mouthed racist abuse, according to local newspaper The Press.
Residents living in a cul-de-sac on the edge of Staincliffe Estate say they are at the end of their tether after months of abuse

This is what the Bilderberger Mafia
are discussing in Switzerland according to press releases on the Drudge Report.
.................................
"In January, former oil industry pastor Lindsey Williams revealed that his inside sources said oil prices will skyrocket – a fait accompli with gas prices at the pump now at historically high levels – as the global elite work behind the scenes to take take down national economies. Williams appeared on the Alex Jones Show to talk about new revelations that deal with the death of the dollar, exploding energy prices, and the engineered onset of order out of chaos revolution worldwide.
The elite now meeting behind closed door in the Switzerland are pushing for a wider war and incalculable suffering in the Middle East.
..............................
A wider war eh?and our poor bloody troops get further slaughtered because a bunch of wealthy bastards
are pulling the worlds strings behind our backs.
Its time revolutions began to destroy the secret organisations who manipulate their power and their ever increasing wealth.
Calling them elite is an insult to our intelligence.
An Eastern European girl knocked on the door last night. She was promoting central heating/home insulation schemes, working with Tameside Council on behalf of a company called Warm/Heat/Safe something or other. An African came doing the same thing a few months ago.
What are all these people doing here? A proper benefits system that FORCES British people who've got an abysmal work record off the dole is the solution, not importing 'ask no questions' slave labour from Crudslovania or Bongo Bongo Land.
The massive army of fantasist pillocks who ALWAYS vote main party had better start asking themselves some hard questions very soon, like, 'Where's the country headed?' Before it's too late.
Get what they deserve, and in the end they'll pay a heavy price.
Pervets,Muslims,BNP Dukinfield and those in that area obsessed with each other with ever changing names are somewhat shallow when perusing the many serious problems in tameside caused by a lousy very corrupt bunch in Ashton.
I read a recent comment re tameside air pollution,which really concerns me having COPD,
but such comments have no merit in the cross fire of those feuding on personal levels.
please lets widen the depth and concerns regarding tameside because we all deserve better
Anonymous, tell us what you've done about the Borough's problems. Ignore personal comments if you're not interested like I do. At least there's some dissent on this blog unlike amongst the vast majority of the sheeplike, apathetic electorate. And there are many interesting postings amidst the dross.
As for Duki, the weirdo on here does at least make the local councillors fret and work by campaigning, complaining, leafleting etc.
You can't blame Nick Griffin for the bad results, maybe some, but ukip were wiped out so were the greens.
It's a long war!
I won't be standing again if it's still with the same leader.
Hmmm here's a coincidence. The late documents for The Mayor of Tameside's distress fund went in on the 9th June, the same day our original posting appeared
Well done tonydj they don't like it up em.
Excellent work again Mr DJ, the very fact that an expert and thorough researcher and 'observer' like yourself is hovering keeps the bastards on their toes, and discourages them from trying to pull a fast one.
We all benefit from work like yours.
Yeah but old wag is an hypocrite.
He's quick to jump on the bnp for this sort of thing, oh keep forgetting the one rule system.
