Bilderberg 2010: Between the Sword and the Wall

What a difference a year makes. Last year in Vouliagmeni when I tried covering the 2009 Bilderberg meeting, I had Greek policemen yelling "No fotografia!" at me at every turn. I was arrested, tailed, harassed, rearrested, yelled at, bundled into squad cars, lied to, intimidated, wrestled with and hounded round Athens like I was John Dillinger.

This year, the police have been deployed in the same extraordinary numbers, but they are smiling, rolling their eyes at the rigmarole; the riot police are giving the thumbs-up to protesters and honking their horns as they come round the "awareness roundabout" at the foot of the hotel.

"The police have been laughing and chatting," says Daniel Turon, a Spanish psycho-sociologist, here in Sitges to psycho-sociologise Bilderberg. "One of them said he had read a book about Bilderberg; another said, 'Yes, we understand.'" The Catalan police, he says, "have a different sensibility" from what you may expect. "They are Catalan. Their minds are independent."

Their minds, perhaps, have been focused by recent pay disputes. Two days ago, the police were on strike in Barcelona: they are facing a pay cut next month, as part of Spain's "austerity measures" (what the IMF calls "fiscal consolidation") – and disgruntlement abounds.

Yesterday, the Spanish newspaper El Público quoted the Catalan police union's estimate, that "the mere deployment of the Mossos d'Esquadra entails costs of €150,000 for each of the four days of the Bilderberg meeting". This union has lodged a formal complaint about the misuse of resources in guarding Bilderberg.

El Público shares the union's concern: "The members of the Bilderberg club have not been elected by the citizens [of this country] in a democratic process, but the costs of the meeting is being met by them."

Ageing Bilderberg sleuth, Jim Tucker, says the Bilderberg group always reimburses the host nation for costs incurred. But if that's the case, the police are simply an army for hire.

Super, amazing article...in the not to distant past, I put everything on the line b/c I woke up to the New World Order: my reputation, my relationships with friends and family, job prospects, my habits and routines. I felt my first sense of vindication when the "Climate-gate" scandal helped break down the COP15 debacle. And now that the Drudge Report and the mainstream British media such as the London Times and the Guardian are reporting on the 2010 Bilderberg conference, the lion inside feels that I can punch a hole through about 20 limp, squealing yuppies.

Plus, I caught over 10 waves on my 9 footer this morning, so I'm pumped right now. You intellectual weaklings better turn off the Playstation or stop watching the big game and do some research, b/c I'm tired of hearing about your fantasy league while I'm trying to have a real conversation at the bar. Pathetic.What a difference a year makes. Last year in Vouliagmeni when I tried covering the... more
