It's important to know that the Bilderberg meetings are only a "front". When this revolving group of influential World leaders meets at various locations each year, the real decisions concerning what is about to take place don't happen there, regardless of how secretive they are. These forums are merely another "illusion" that needs to be stripped away like the layers of an onion.
To really determine who's calling the shots, we need to research groups such as the Council of 13, the Council of 33, and the Committee of 300. Once we transcend the facade, we'll find that there are three tiers of control:
1. Hierarchy Level One - Secret societies, European nobility, and royal families such as the Rothschilds, Warburgs, and the English ruling elite.
2. Hierarchy Level Two - American dynasties such as Rockefeller, Kuhn, Sachs, Loeb, Lazard, Goldman, Schiff, and Morgan.
3. Hierarchy Level Three - Figureheads such as the Bush family.
At level 3, we can see the nuts and bolts of how a system of World hegemony is carried out through the interaction of:
* energy
* finance
* multinational big business
* military
* industry
From these octopus-type tentacles, we see the three biggest industries in the World:
* Usury
* Energy
* drugs
So with the above information in mind, it's easy to determine how we've progressed past the propaganda that's being peddled by the News organizations, the Newspapers like the New York Times, and any of the magazines sitting on your local news stand.
Another point needs to be repeated and made perfectly clear -- which is that the Controllers don't go to war over ideals because they don't have any ideals other than to maintain their power base. Rather, it's about control, and keeping the machine running. They don't care about patriotism, nationalism, or our sovereignty.
