Verbosities

Neopartisan and Thoroughly Amateur


With the hype about Bilderberg getting conspiracy theorists undies in a bunch, I too became concerned that something must be going on that could influence the world as we know it. I mean, if this secret society, one that we can somehow get a list of attendees, know where and when they are meeting, can get away with not telling people what they are talking about, many more nefarious organizations may be able to as well. So I did my own research into some of the most powerful secret clubs of the past.

The first of such societies I can recall was the He-Man Woman Haters Club. Yep, these despicable men of the 20s and 30s believed that women had one place to be and it sure wasn't in their club. For years they were able to get away with their shenanigans. Some say it was the muscle of Butch and Worm that kept the press away from Spanky. But years later, they would lose a lawsuit and the club would be is disarray.

Next was the New York Times. They have been bit more open than other secret societies. But they are still holding back the truth. In fact, they are making many decisions on what you read in the news.
On the one hand, the implicit contention of the Times is that the public almost never has an interest in secrecy, in having classified matters kept that way. On the other, it jealously guards the identity of its secret sources and wants its ability to do so in defiance of governmental investigations written into law.

Hmm...they believe they do not have to tell everyone, including the government whose laws they are breaking. So why should the Bilderberg people?

Seriously. Because a group of business and political leaders get together to have an open discussion that they prefer to keep private, why must some people think the worst? The only supposed "fact" leaked from Bilderberg that I could find was Senator John Edwards impressed enough people that they put him on the ticket with John Kerry.

Ok. I am scared now.

But I find some relief. At least this group disbanded!


Steve Gutenberg a star is just about as scary as John Edwards.
