Just because you're paranoid... You think the world is controlled by a secretive organisation known only as the Illuminati? Ridiculous! In fact, the world is controlled by a secretive organisation known only as Bilderberg. Their annual meeting begins today, in Stresa, Italy.

  • duh! the bilderberg's are merely a front for the illuminati dude...
  • (obviously no one is commenting on this because they know the bilderbergs are MONITORING EVERY WORD WE TYPE)
  • (and of course let us not forget BOB THE BILDERBERG.)
  • Wow--conspiracy theory heaven! I read the whole of Ronson's piece and wasn't really sure if it was fiction or nonfiction, but it got my attention. My dad, who is a rather rational man, is summarily convinced that the Tri-Lateral Commission (that pyramid on the back of a $1.00 USD--their symbol, of course) runs the world. He also believes Area 51 is a vast dormitory for aliens. I am not kidding. But he is no raving loon-- he just thinks there are secret forces, which I take as a way of him justifying his own powerlessness in an increasingly bewildering world. Thanks for the kinda spooky but thoroughly fascinating link, Ben!

  • yes, diz, i can certainly see why your dad fears the trilateral commission! it's... it's... A THINK TANK! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
  • A SHADOWY Think Tank, SD, fulla fo-reen-ers...
  • Yeah that was a fun read, although I too suspected that it could have a "punch line" at the end. Thanks ben! Why SideDish one would think you weren't hot on the trail of a major breaking story about an elite group highly influential in the global economy and politics! Maybe you missed the right website. ;)

  • actually, i like the "BAD LINKS" link on that page once you get through... Awake oh reader! Ghastly things are happening. No, the world is not remotely 'okay'. Grit your teeth and prepare to discover how deeply unsatisfactory it really is.

  • Well, okay, it's time I came out of the closet. My father is a member of both the TC and Bilderberg. He was most active in the sixties, when he orchestrated and helped coordinate the assassinations of jak;lfdsalk;324523se$#@^@#%TY%$W --Transmission timed out
  • The first rule of Bilderberg is... you do not talk about Bilderberg.
