The 120 or so Bilderbergers, who normally converge at their pre-selected venue with as much secrecy as possible, had hoped that their selection for the May 14th - 17th conference this year, 15 miles south of Ayr and a quarter of a mile away from the A77 trunk road to Glasgow, would - together with armed and black-clad police at the the property entrance and around the perimeter - guarantee their previously-inviolate privacy. They have still not recovered from the acute discomfort which they experienced when the TORONTO STAR and local Toronto media, acting on detailed Press Releases from the NEW WORLD ORDER INTELLIGENCE UPDATE [http://www.inforamp.net/~jwhitley], ran several major articles revealing their existence and querying, for the first time in their then 43-year history, the nature and purpose of their secretive conclave at a $66-million luxury resort property at King City, just north of Toronto Conrad Black, the most closely-watched media magnate in Canadian history, was the convener of that 1996 meeting, during which - exhibiting a new and disarming policy of "openness" - the Bilderbergers released a list of attendees and a highly-generalized and non-specific agenda. They tried the same proactive approach at their 1998 meeting in Georgia; but now, apparently, find the comfort of dark anonymity and of non-existent Press Releases to be more congenial to their purposes again. Well, unfortunately, much of their security effort has been wasted. For here once again, following the tradition of free publicity for the Bilderbergers which we first established at their 1996 meeting, are the substantive issues which they discussed at their secretive 1998 Conference. Since the Bilderbergers make a point of never confirming or denying the substance of their discussions, we invite our readers to take note of the following items and to compare them with the contents of their newspapers over the forthcoming months. Our sources have shown an extraordinarily high degree of accuracy over the past several years, as those who have purchased our detailed Bilderberg Report can attest [see our Report web page at http://www.inforamp.net/~jwhitley/bild.htm]. We need, for reasons which will quickly become obvious, to refresh our readers’ memories at this point. During and following the 1996 Bilderberg Conference, we asserted that "Bilderberger Bill" Clinton would be re-elected as U.S. president; that he would promptly break his promise to bring American troops home from Bosnia, but that he would "re-position" them in Hungary and the surrounding countries instead and pass command of the Bosnian operation to a German general and 3,000 German combat troops from Heidelberg [this later occurred, in October, 1996]; and that the Bilderbergers had thereafter arranged to inflame the Serbs by pursuing the "war criminals" in their midst for trial before a new "International Court" [the Serbs, a proud but experienced people, side-stepped this provocation by persuading the lower- and middle-level suspects to voluntarily surrender]. If that failed to incite a Balkan war, then we pointed out that they were prepared to utilize Kosovo to bring one about: "When war comes, as expected, Kosovo, at the southern tip of the Serbian Republic, may be the flashpoint that ignites a wider war involving Greece, Albania, Bulgaria, Russia, and Turkey - in addition to the hapless U.S. and NATO troops caught in the middle. Kosovo, "the Jerusalem of the Balkans", is a self-proclaimed nominally independent "republic", presided over by "President" Ibrahim Rugova. It is, in fact, a province of Serbia, though its population is largely of Albanian descent. The United States, though on record as recommending more "autonomy" for Kosovo, treats the province to all intents and purposes as a de facto independent state, a fact which infuriates the Serbians. Twice - once in 1992 and again in 1993 - Presidents of the United States have threatened Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic with military retribution "in the event of a conflict in Kosovo caused by Serbian action." To add insult to injury, the U.S. now plans to establish an "official presence" in "the capital of Kosovo." Aggrieved by this, and rightly sensing the intent of the United States to encircle and contain them, the Serbians are likely to appeal to an increasingly- nationalistic Russia, their traditional protectors, for help and military assistance. As reported by Germany's DIE ZEIT, "Serbia is every place where there are Serbian trenches or Serbian graves", according to Serbian opposition leader Val Draskovic. That means that Serbia will fight to retain Kevoso, in spite of the fact that its population is 90% Albanian. The Albanian Kosovans, determined to be independent will fight back. That will likely draw into the conflict the 3.4 million inhabitants of Albania proper, together with the Albanians of Montenegro and Macedonia. Albania also has openly-expressed designs on Macedonia's western provinces, largely populated by Albanians: at least one armed insurrection directed by Albania has been foiled by the Macedonian authorities, and the Albanians continue to openly support and encourage Macedonian Albanian separatist groups. Bulgaria, which considers Macedonians to be "western Bulgarians", may then go to war for the fourth time this century to seize the opportunity to finally settle its territorial claim there. Greece, already incensed by Macedonia's use of the Greek "Vergina Sun" symbol on its flag and suspicious of the Macedonian Republic's supposed intention to form a "Greater Macedonia" by inciting insurrection and separation in the Greek province of Macedonia, may well then take advantage of events to settle the issue once and for all. Turkey, acting in defence of its Muslim brethren in Bosnia, and infuriated by the actions of its traditional rival Greece against the Macedonian Republic, could then scarcely be refrained from joining the fray. The "Albanian issue", centred in Kosovo and overshadowed by the larger Serb-Bosnian tensions, is a powderkeg waiting to explode. And when it does, the whole region will explode with it." - from our 1996 BILDERBERGER REPORT [almost three years later, these things are now happening!] The Serbs, scenting the trap thus laid for them, have confined themselves to short, repressive "police actions" against the Kosovan Albanian population, none of which have been sufficient in duration, extent or intensity to provide the pretext necessary for the Bilderberger elite to rally Western European and American public support for a full-fledged military engagement of the Serbs. So their methodical preparation, financing and arming of the newly-revealed "Kosovan Liberation Army" has so far provided the Bilderbergers with no dividends at all...and the clock is running on their schedule. They need this war, and they need it soon. The third fall-back plan, we reported in 1996, was the creation of a war between Greece and Turkey on Cyprus which they could then push back into the Balkans. It was this third option which occupied the Bilderbergers at their 1998 meeting. Russia has contracted, through its Rosvooruzheniye arms export agency, to deliver 150 S300 surface-to-air missiles to the Greek-Cypriots, a move which will irrevokably destabilize the current delicate balance of power between Turkey and Greece over Cyprus and which will demand an immediate and overwhelming Turkish military response. Originally slated for installation during September or October of this year, their delivery has been abruptly and unexpectedly moved up to August. The Greek-Cypriot parliament, which has characterized the US$400 million dollar anti-aircraft missile deal as a purely "defensive" move, recently unanimously approved a 1998 defence budget to cover their costs. The Russians have repeatedly refused to "reconsider" their sale, and are expect to rebuff the pleas of Turkish military Chief of Staff Ismail Hakki Karadayi that they again do so during his forthcoming trip to Moscow this month. The Greek Defense Minister, Akis Tsohazopoulos defended in April the Greek-Cypriots "right" to deploy these weapons. The Turks have steadfastly warned that they will immediately take them out via an sudden and overwhelming air strike, together with the batteries of MM40 Exocet surface-to-surface anti-ship missiles with which the Greek-Cypriots have tried to fortify the south-western Cypriot port of Paphos. None of these sides are like to back down, much to the satisfaction of the Bilderbergers. War on Cyprus is therefore a certainty in late summer or autumn, unless the Bilderbergers manage to ignite their Kosovan war earlier - in which case the Cyprus "crisis" will be quietly settled by diplomatic means. Following the 1974 attempts by the then-ruling Greek junta to forcibly unify Cyprus with Greece in fulfilment of General Grivas' original dream of "Enosis", the Turkish government moved swiftly to protect the Turkish-Cypriot community, which numbers just under 20% of the population of Cyprus. An autonomous Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus was hastily established, garrisoned by 30,000 Turkish troops and occupying approximately one-third of the island, which continues in diplomatically- unrecognized legal limbo to this day. The British, whose responsibility under the London agreements which settled Cyprus' independence from Britain was to prevent any such action, sat unmoving on their sovereign bases on the island, and will do so again. They and the Americans were reportedly active in "encouraging" the Turkish invasion which divided the island: the British, who have long memories, had not forgotten the atrocities committed against their forces by General Grivas nor the stream of virulently anti-British propaganda which had poured out from Radio Athens in his support, an activity doubly offensive to the British because of their own prompt and costly military intervention on the Greek mainland some years earlier which had saved Greece from an attempted communist takeover. The British also suspected, with good reason, that their sovereign bases in Cyprus would be promptly converted to NATO bases in the event of union of the island with Greece, and that they would be politely shown the door. The Greek-Cypriot militia and the Greek regular army brigade stationed on the island will likely be overwhelmed by superior Turkish military forces within a matter of days in the case of war, with little hope of reinforcement through the then- devastated port of Paphos and with virtually complete air superiority over the island held by Turkey, whose aircraft take literally minutes to reach Cyprus from their Turkish air bases and are able therefore to strafe, attack or loiter for long periods. Greek aircraft would be forced to fly from Rhodes, a 500 kilometer flight in each direction, which would leave them precious little time for dog-fighting, military interdiction, or the provision of air cover for Greek-Cypriot forces in Cyprus. Any naval attempt by Greece to reinforce its military units on Cyprus must therefore also run a gauntlet of continous Turkish air and naval attacks, with the prospect of dauntingly heavy losses. Though the Turks are already closely scrutinizing Russian ships passing through the Dardanelles straits, it is unlikely that they would risk Russian wrath by seeking to interdict or impound any missiles thus found while they were being transported under the protection of the Russian flag. The only remaining option, therefore, would be to strike them hard as soon as they were landed at Paphos and before they were dispersed and set up. As soon as they are activated, the Turks not only lose their advantage in air superiority over the island but also their present relatively-unchallenged freedom to attack Cyprus-bound Greek naval convoys. Indeed, the S300's 150-kilometer range would also effectively give the Greek-Cypriots air superiority over the two neighbouring mainland Turkish air force bases once they were successfully activated. Given the near-certainty of an an overwhelming Turkish military success on Cyprus, the U.S. State Department has already covered itself with the Greeks by publicly blaming the Turks for the crisis; true to form, it has also covered itself with Ankara by being careful not to specify which Turks it had in mind, those on the mainland oor those on Cyprus. Does this all sound too incredible to be true? Well, apart from the warnings in our June, 1996, Bilderberg Report, we also posted - well before the recent Bilderberg meeting - the following warning on our Web site [at http://www.inforamp.net/~jwhitley/WEBAD1.HTM]: "The Coming Kosovo War, Greece, Turkey, And Cyprus... In our June, 1996, Special Report on the Bilderbergers, the New World Order Intelligence Update warned that the globalist elite had planned a Balkans war which would become the "Vietnam of the '90's"; and that, if they could not get such a war going by inflaming the Serbs through the use of NATO "snatch squads" to seize suspected war criminals for trial at the Hague, their plan was to use Kosovo as the flashpoint to ignite a regional conflict which would ultimately embroil the Yugoslav federation, Bosnia, Russia, Greece, Turkey, Albania, Macedonia, the Western European military powers, the United States, and by extension - as allies of Turkey and Greece - Israel and Syria. Now, from virtually nowhere, the well-financed Kosovan Liberation Army has sprung into the limelight and the scene is being set for a Balkan war of unbelievable carnage and merciless hostility. We further warned that, if the war in Kosovo took too long to engineer or eluded the elite altogether, then their fall-back plan was to create a vicious conflict between Turkey and Greece over Cyprus, and to push the war back into the Balkans area from there. Now, with the delivery of Russian missiles to the Greek-Cypriots moved up to August of this year, we expect sudden, overwhelming Turkish air strikes upon that island late this summer if the Kosovo conflict is in fact delayed by Serbian political dexterity. This is not a good summer to plan to be vacationing on any of the Greek islands, especially those in the Agean and the disputed island of Cyprus - unless, that is, you feel the need to exercise your adrenaline glands by ducking hot shrapnel, trying to stay away from ports, roads, bridges, installations, and buildings that the Turkish air force might legitimately consider to be military targets, and trying desperately to find some means of getting off a crowded island which has suddenly become a big bulls-eye for loitering Turkish strike aircraft. Forget about getting help from the Greek air force if you're on Cyprus - they'll barely be able to carry enough fuel to reach the island, make one pass, and return safely to their mainland bases! And it's certainly not a good summer to be visiting northern Greece or the Balkans as a tourist! The Turks will relish the opportunity this provides them with to avenge themselves upon Greece for constantly blocking their European Union membership applications, for openly harbouring an office of the terrorist PKK in Athens, for Greece's support for a Kurdish state in Turkey, and for what they perceive to be the calculated insults, hatred, and bile toward Turkey spewed out by Greek Foreign Minister Theodoros Pangalos [a Bilderberger] virtually every day. We don't anticipate, therefore, that Turkish pilots will be too discriminating as they hit their targets, and, if tourists get in the way.... well, they'll say, unfortunately, "that's war!" If you were a subscriber to The New World Order Intelligence Update, you'd have known about these threatened conflicts over two years before the regular media began to mention them - and you'd have learned well ahead of time about the elite's plans for massive social, political, economic, and governmental change as they prepare to bring in "global governance" and their promised "New World Order" in the year 2000. You'd also have had time to arrange your affairs, protect your assets, and decide where - and how - to live in order to maximize your freedom and independence!" Note two key items almost buried in this concise alert. Theodoros Pangalos, the Greek Foreign Minister, attended the 1996 Bilderberg Conference in Toronto, Canada, and it appears to us that his policy of publicly insulting and offending the Turks really commenced in earnest from that date. Was he told at that Conference that the exascerbation of tensions between the two nations by such regular and uncouth utterances would be one of his primary future responsibilities? And Greece is allied with Syria. We understand from various sources that the Greeks may well have made emergency arrangements to launch military sorties from Syrian air bases in the event that the Turks succeed in taking out the Cypriot S300 missile installations in a devastating first strike. The existence of this alliance infuriates Turkey, which has its own serious differences with Syria. It exists partly as a Syrian response to Turkey's own alliance with Israel, on whose notable and successful experience with aerial "first strikes" Turkey will probably be drawing heavily. This refinement of the conflict no doubt further delights the Bilderbergers since it not only pits an Orthodox Christian and a technically- secular but Muslim state against each other, but also draws in by default the Arabs and the Israelis in opposing supporting roles. Greece [along with Russia] would thereafter be quick to offer aid and support to its fellow-Orthodox Serbian neighbours in the event of a Kosovan conflict, whilst Turkey [along with the Arab states] would be equally prompt in supporting the Kovosan muslims and muslim Albania in such an eventually. And the Billderbergers would finally have their rapidly-spreading, long-lasting Balkans war. To ensure its deadly and rapid spread, discussions are already underway concerning the posting of a small and hapless force of NATO troops on the border between the Yogoslav Federation and Albania, ostensibly to prevent Albanian gun- running into Kosovo. This will hardly impede the steady flow of weapons coming through that rugged terrain, but it will succeed in firmly postioning the NATO troops in the enemy camp as far as the Kosovan Liberation Army is concerned, since it will appear to have no other practical purpose than to assist the Serbs. It is therefore inevitable that, first, sporadic firefights and, then, full-scale conflict will occur between the KLA and these unfortunate NATO troopers. And what will Greece gain from cooperating in what seems to be, for her, a foregone disaster? Our sources indicate that Greece may have been promised the opportunity, in the event of a wider Balkans war, to seize and hold the neighbouring area of Northern Epirus, or "southern Albania", a territory with a large local population of Greek extraction which has long been coveted by Greece. Such an exchange would more than reconcile the Greeks to an apparent Turkish "victory" over Cyprus and cause the "insiders" in their government to do everything in their power to bring such a wider conflict about. Our readers can therefore understand with what interest we learned from our own sources of a secretive meeting during this year's Bilderberg Conference between the Turkish Foreign Minister Ismail Cam, Richard Holbrooke [U.S. special presidential envoy to Cyprus], and Sir David Hannay, [the British representative to Cyprus]. Greek Foreign Minister Pangalos, as already mentioned, was present for briefing at the 1996 Conference, and his attendance was therefore not required this year. We leave our readers to draw their own conclusions as to the content of these concealed discussions, and do no more than to remind them to watch their newspapers for the next act in this deadly game of Bilderberg political theatre. Other topics on the agenda at this year's meeting included: * the Asian economic, social and political crisis, with particular attention being paid to Japan. The Bilderbergers have patiently pursued a long-term strategy of melding each of the three major areas of the world into trading, monetary, and then politically-united blocs. They have virtually completed this process in Europe; they are currently embarking upon it in the Western Hemisphere; and they are now preparing the East Asian nations for the same process. The economies of these countries were first destroyed then looted by a skilfull combination of abundant, easy Western banking credit and loans, abruptly cut off, coupled with devastating speculative raids upon the region's currencies by, among others, Bilderberg financier George Soros. This strategy appears to have been finally implemented just following the 1996 Bilderberg Conference, which Soros attended. The ultimate goal is to group these dispirited and slowly-recovering nations in a common trading and monetary union under the leadership of Japan, which is why the Bilderbergers are monitoring the Japanese economic situation with such interest. There is also the minor matter of the US$600 billion US-Japanese "financial arrangement" which we will not elaborate on further at this point but which must be giving some American Bilderbergers, including President Clinton, sleepless nights! * The U.S. stock market speculative bubble. An abrupt collapse could have devastating consequences far beyond American shores, and this is a topic of particular and alarming concern to the already economically-unstable Japanese, who have recently repeatedly expressed their worries about it at such private conferences. * The devopment of a new "transatlantic marketplace", a guilelessly-homespun way of describing The New Atlantic Initiarive, which is Stage Two in the Bilderberger's plans to begin incrementally knitting together the three global regional blocs, which they are currently in the process of assembling, into one truly global trading, monetary and political union. Both the European Commission and, scant days ago, President Clinton, have urged that the European-U.S. US$500 billion annual trading exchanges be "enhanced" by a deepening of "relationships" in other areas of common interest, including threats to peace and common security. Largely due to sustained opposition by France, Sir Leon Britton's proposal on March 11th of this year of just such a "New Transatlantic Marketplace" was torpedoed at the E.U. Council Ministers' meeting on April 27th, and the contentious nature of the topic caused "Bilderberger Bill" Clinton [who owes his own job as president to the approval of the Bilderbergers, gathered in conclave at their 1991 Baden-Baden, Germany, meeting] to be gingerly non-specific in lauding this new approach during his recent speech to business leaders in Berlin. But, since this is a Bilderberger project, you can be assurred that it won't remain on the back-burner or imprecise for very much longer. * The extension of the EMU to Eastern Europe, and the early entry of Britain into this common European currency system following intensive propagandizing of her population under the benign supervision of "Bilderberger Blair" [British Prime Minister Tony Blair was promised his current job at the 1993 Athens Bilderberg Conference, which he attended]. * NATO expansion, and its political and monetary advantages [through the re-equipping of formerly East Bloc arming with NATO-standard equipment] to the Bilderbergers. * Though not on their own agenda, the assembled Bilderbergers would have no doubt been delighted to learn that, even as they prepared to meet, another subject dear to their hearts, that of global taxation, had been officially tabled on May 13th at the 32nd General Assembly of the Interamerican Centre For Tax Administration in Sao Paulo, Brazil, by Vito Tanzt, a taxation specialist and director of the IMF. He reportedly proposed that a World Taxing Organization be brought into existence within 10 years with, among other things, the power to levy a "20% tax at the source" of any international financial transfers. Coupled with Canadian Finance Minister Paul Martin's recent public recommendations that the IMF be given more power over individual national economies, these two "suggestions" are a giant step toward the goal of complete financial control and hegemony expressed in the globalist elite's plan for world government by the year 2000, "OUR GLOBAL NEIGHBOURHOOD: The Report Of The Commission On Global Governance." The plutocratic hearts of the Bilderbergers must have beat just a little faster at such wonderful news. Also present at this year's Conference were the usual roster of Bilderberg cabal heavyweights plus some fresh faces: David Rockefeller, Conrad Black, Henry Kissinger, Kenneth Clarke, Giovanni Agnelli, William Hague, Javier Solana, George Robertson, etc. Apart from a brief article in THE SCOTSMAN which, through no fault of their own, was long on supposition and short on specifics, the Bilderbergers managed to restore the almost complete Press blackout which had prevailed up to their 1996 meeting, when the New World Order Intelligence Update encouraged them to involuntarily reform their ways. Since they appear to have slipped back into their old bad habits once again, we're happy to give them a little nudge again this year. After all, people who work so hard and selflessly on our behalf deserve a modicum of public recognition and credit.

On the Turnberry Hotel's web page, an enraptured guest has declared, "This is what the golf course in heaven looks like." Seldom can such repugnant deliberations have taken place in as beautiful a setting. Is it any wonder, therefore, that the Bilderbergers shun the light of honest public scrutiny? - o O o - [Copyright (c) 1998, New World Order Intelligence Update.
