After Bilderberg, Noonan could usefully visit Moyross

MICHAEL NOONAN spent the weekend at a closed meeting outside Washington with “important people” – the heads of major corporations in America and Europe, senior bankers, people from research organisations (aka “think tanks”), the publishers and editors of “leading” newspapers, a few European royals, a clutch of prime ministers, several former members of the George Bush administration, a few EU commissioners and ex-commissioners, and then the usual suspects at such closed gatherings – a representative of the Rockefeller family, which has bankrolled such meetings for nearly 60 years now, Henry Kissinger, Valéry Giscard d’Estaing and Peter Sutherland.

They were attending the annual conference of the Bilderberg Group, an invitation-only meeting of “key” people from the world of commerce, finance, politics and the media, all sharing the same politics or world view, to discuss the important global issues of the day and help shape policy for the coming years.

Extravagant claims have been made about this annual gathering by hyper conspiracy theorists that at the Bilderberg conference in the early 1990s the break-up of Yugoslavia was orchestrated; that the manipulation of oil prices was arranged; and that a world government has been planned.

Some of the regular participants have sought to give lustre to themselves by adding to the paranoia. For instance, David Rockefeller, one of the founders of Bilderberg, said in 1991: “It would have been impossible for us to develop a plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years [from the 1960s to the 1980s]. But the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practised in past centuries.”

While David Rockefeller’s estimation of the power of Bilderberg attendees is fanciful, his remark conveys the pretension that governs such gatherings, notably the claim to being “an intellectual elite” and an underlying conviction that such gatherings can determine world politics. But a claim that such private gatherings of “elites” can set the agenda and influence the mindsets of nations is not at all fanciful and therein lies the insidiousness of such events.

But I want to focus on what such an event may have done to the mindset of the Irish Minister for Finance.
