"Why Does The Mainstream Media Ignore The Bilderberg Group?" (Article)

[LightinDarkness]

Oh noes, the annual meeting of rich people where they plot global domination! It receives SO LITTLE media attention that its all over the cable news and you can find multiple articles about it every year in nearly any major newspaper. Heck, I frequent a travel forum and its even being discussed there (because the hotel hosting the conference kicked out Alex Jones who decided to rant about it on infowars). If this is the mainstream media ignoring it, I'd hate to see what covering it would look like.

What floors me is why conspiracy nutters spend so much energy on this group. They openly post their membership, where they are meeting, and even notes from what they talked about. And they don't have to do any of that - they have more than enough money to do everything in complete secret. The nutters will just never be happy.

I've never understood what the conspiracy idiots think Bilderberg does exactly - control the world? Well as they only meet once a year for a few days, those must be some monumental marching orders.

So, where's all this evidence proving that the Bilderberg meetings are "in-effectual" and harmless? Do any of you Government Truthers have any?

I have no evidence. Therefore our positions are equally sound.

I also cannot prove the doings of the Bilderberg group are any more observable than doings by God. I often wonder if God's hidden hand is behind the economic and political patterns I see. Does He attend?

Indeed, but how can anybody prove a negative? It's up to you to prove they're harmful

 

[SpringHallConvert]

It's up to you to prove they're harmful

Just as much as it is up to you to prove they aren't harmful.

I can't prove my case anymore than you can prove yours.

Good job. Some of you Government Truthers catch on more easily than the others.

You do realize that in "prove they aren't harmful" that "aren't " is a "negative", thus you just required proof of a negative assertion?

It came to last evening that the BG meet for a closed backgammon tournament. Due to the fact that these men consider themselves too rich to be seen meeting for such frivolous reason they release that they actually discussed more important issues. The real secret they keep is the results of the tourney

Do you have any evidence to the contrary?

 

[dafydd]

Good job. Some of you Government Truthers catch on more easily than the others.

Do you really think that we are all Americans?

 

[Kathie Bondar]

Yes, let us affirm ourselves and be dismissive. This will reduce our opponent to a small heap on the floor.

 

[squealpiggy]

Conspiracy Theorists will say it's all part of the NWO 'divide and conquer' plan etc etc

Only by dividing people can you unite them in a one world government.

Wait, I found a flaw in the logic...

 

[LSSBB]

What's a Government Truther?

 

[dafydd]

What's a Government Truther?

That will remain a mystery.

 

[LSSBB]

That will remain a mystery.

Even for us in the NWO.

Pardon me, I'm gonna drink a beer and a toast to our dearly departed friend. No one will believe us that he was behind all the conspiracies.

Prove he wasn't.

You know if SHC's obfuscation tactics were so elementary and worn out, I might actually respond to him - alas, he does this in every thread. His entire trolling technique revolves around confusing the burden of proof and always claiming that - no matter what evidence is presented - that we still do not have evidence of whatever XYZ conspiracy hes currently harping about.

But for any other CTer who might not be trolling: Although I don't have the burden of proof, its easy to see how Bilderberg does nothing but meet and talk. They publish an agenda and meeting notes. We can see exactly what they talk about - if you take those notes every year you will find 0 evidence of coordination or plans to do anything. You will see a lot of "governments should do XYZ" which also never happen.

Thats not to say the meetings have no purpose - they meet to network and because with that many brilliant and powerful people in the room, you might gain some insight that you didn't have previously. But thats not evil, despite all the CT hysterics.

NOTE: SHC's response to this evidence will be that "Well how do you know that they publish notes from their entire meeting?" in order to claim that they really do control the world but those meeting notes are obviously kept from the sheeple. This is his classical response pattern to all evidence presented - the conspiracy is always true.

As for the article, it simply ignores the obvious truth: a bunch of aging intellectuals having a non-effectual meeting about how to fix things is just not that interesting to the media because it is not interesting to most people. The media, if one might remember, is all about ratings money.

Video not available. Was it the one where Jones drives around in circles and is narrating to the camera that he is being followed by Bilderberg goons? That was comedy gold.

Video not available. Good, that saved me from damaging some more brain cells.

Wow. Your proof is a youtube video, that isn't even up any more.

MaGZ somehow managed to copy-and-paste two URLs...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfgfH1ro6vhttp://www.opednews.com/articles/The-Goodbye-Republic-by-Rand-Clifford-080708-168.htmls

...which is why everyone is getting a "not available" error. Unfortunately, removing the irrelevant URL doesn't improve the situation; you get the following error message instead: "An error occurred during validation."

Edit: I see now...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfgfH1ro6vhttp://www.opednews.com/articles/The-Goodbye-Republic-by-Rand-Clifford-080708-168.htmls

The final 's' in the second URL actually belongs to the YouTube video ID. It looks like MaGZ was trying to post two links and pasted the second one into the first one. Here's the corrected version:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfgfH1ro6vs
http://www.opednews.com/articles/The-Goodbye-Republic-by-Rand-Clifford-080708-168.html

A distinct lack of quality control on the part of MaGZ, it seems. Just another example of his carelessness and lack of attention to detail.

You're welcome, MaGZ, but do better next time.
