Icke / Tier 3 — The Secret Society Web and the Round Table Network / organization
Bilderberg Group
Where each worldview places it
A Round Table web organisation whose name means "Bel of the rock". It makes politicians' careers, and its members head NATO, the World Bank, the WTO and the central banks[1]. It was "particularly important in creating the present superstate"[2]. In And the Truth it is "a key component in the Elite network which forms the secret government of the world today": an annual secret meeting of the Anglo-European-American Elite where long-time attendees and the Steering Committee know the real agenda[3]. "Behind the Bilderbergers are the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers"[4].

- Author's claims · 16
- 01Thatcher's career "soared" after attending, as did Clinton's (invited in 1991, President a year later) and Blair's (1993)[1].
- 02The last six NATO secretary-generals were Bilderbergers[1].
- 03All three UK party leaders are members[12].
- 04At the 1992 meeting Kissinger said Americans would welcome UN troops in Los Angeles given an outside threat, "real or promulgated"[13].
- 05It interlocks with the Ditchley Foundation[14].
- 06Its Steering Committee "has 39 members (13 + 13 + 13) and it chooses its locations on esoteric principles"; in 1965 it met at Lake Como, ancient headquarters of the Order of Comocine[15].
- 07The Steering Committee coordinates the regulars "who know the real game plan" and one-time invitees[4].
- 08"The secretary general of NATO is a Bilderberg appointment"; it pushes GATT/WTO and a UN world army[16].
- 09With the RIIA it controls the British Foreign Office, and it links to the Tavistock Institute and the Ditchley Foundation[17].
- 10European royal families (Swedish, Dutch, Spanish) are often represented, and the meetings are filled with Illuminised (Grand Orient) Freemasons[18].
- 11"JFK's was a Bilderberg Group presidency": his leading staff were Bilderbergers[19].
- 12It "has been behind the manipulation to create a Federal Europe for more than 40 years"; the Treaty of Rome "was nurtured at Bilderberg meetings", and Oxford-educated Bilderbergers steered Britain into Europe[20].
- 13It first met in 1954, the year the "quiet war" of Silent Weapons For A Quiet War was declared[21].
- 14Its members run the Bosnian "peace" negotiations[22].
- 15The Spotlight obtained its 1991 guest list[4].
- 16The later books call it a Round Table "cusp" satellite founded in 1954 that coordinates the Spider's policy; CERN's Fabiola Gianotti attended in 2017, Eric Schmidt is a member, and Peter Thiel sits on its Steering Committee[23].
