Bilderberg 2004

THE BILDERBERG GROUP
Stresa, Italy (European Union)

Proceedings of the Executive Committee, third session

NOT TO BE REPRODUCED

KISSINGER: Are we -- is everybody here? This doesn't look like everybody to me.

ROCKEFELLER: The representative from the Vatican, sir --

KISSINGER: Is Beatrix here?

ROCKEFELLER: Yes, sir. She's on the telephone with Dr Blix right now. Sir, the Holy See has withdrawn its nuncio in protest over the --

KISSINGER: Karol? What's his problem?

ROCKEFELLER: The Holy Father's emissary has been recalled in protest against the statement of Mr Ralph Reed in plenary session yesterday, in which Mr Reed asserted that the Roman Catholic tradition encourages the, quote, worship of the Blessed Virgin. His Holiness objected to the term "worship," insisting that this is a gross mischaracterization of the act of "veneration."

KISSINGER: Oh, good Lord.

ROCKEFELLER: The Italian delegation is working on it, sir.

KISSINGER: We'll carry on without him. We can table the proposal for Kerry's excommunication for today. What else is -- David, can we get the lights turned down a bit? The atmosphere isn't exactly --

ROCKEFELLER: Of course, sir. I was about to remark on the ambience.

KISSINGER: Totally inappropriate to the workings of a proper cabal. Totally inappropriate.

ROCKEFELLER: Quite so, Mr Secretary.

KISSINGER: I thought so.

ROTHSCHILD: If we could move to the issue of the Cornwall Protocol first --

KISSINGER: What's that? Speak up, please.

ROTHSCHILD: The Cornwall Protocol! Can we get to it next?

KISSINGER: Now, there's no need to shout, young man.

ROTHSCHILD: I wasn't --

PERL: The old goat's as deaf as a post.

ROCKEFELLER: You may state your concerns in an indoor voice, Mr Rothschild.

ROTHSCHILD: My . . . apologies . . . Doctor . . . Kissinger. . . . I . . . did . . . not . . . mean . . . to . . . shout.

PERL: [Indistinct gutteral sound]

KISSINGER: What is it that you would like to discuss, Mr Rothschild?

ROTHSCHILD: Sir, negotiations have stalled as a result of --

ROCKEFELLER: That's the treaty regarding the control of --

KISSINGER: I know what the treaty covers, David. I'm not stupid. What's the problem, Mr Rothschild?

ROTHSCHILD: The AFL/CIO has objected to a preliminary draft --

PERL: That's debatable.

ROCKEFELLER: What's that, Mr Perl?

PERL: Nothing.

ROTHSCHILD: . . . Based on the opinions of the tin miners, who are afraid --

KISSINGER: We can discuss that later, Mr Rothschild. It's number three on the prepared agenda. You've read the agenda, Mr Rothschild?

ROTHSCHILD: Of course, but --

KISSINGER: We will stick to the agenda. Let's move on to item number two, shall we?

PERL: It's the second thing on that little sheet of paper.

ROTHSCHILD: I know where the number two is!

PERL: That's all I'm saying, yo.

KISSINGER: If you can locate the Arabic numeral representing the number two, and can read the text next to that numeral, which looks vaguely like part of a coathanger or something like that, the text of the agenda says that our next item of business is the matter of the development of the B.E.A.S.T. Do you have something to say about that, Mr Rothschild?

ROTHSCHILD: Not at this time, sir.

KISSINGER: Good. We'd like to hear from Ms Melinda Gates next.

GATES: Thank you, Dr Kissinger.

KISSINGER: No problem, sweetheart.

GATES: As you know, Microsoft Corporation is committed to continuous innovation. At Microsoft, we make constant improvements to insure that you, the customer, receive the very best value and stay on the cutting edge of twenty-first-century technology.

PERL: Press any key to terminate the current application . . . .

GATES: Several years ago, you, our valued consumer, commissioned us to study the feasibility of creating an innovative and cutting-edge computer system. Code-named B.E.A.S.T., this supercomputer would have the advanced functionality to track every human alive and usher in the seven years of tribulation.

ROCKEFELLER: Is that before or after the two prophets appear in Jerusalem?

GATES: According to our most reliable models, the two prophets should appear before the Great Tribulation proper, but not before the wars and rumors of wars. However, this prediction depends on the exact translation of the Greek word egkentrizo. Our research in the writings of Artapanus is inconclusive so far.

ROCKEFELLER: That's what I thought. My eschatology's a little rusty.

KISSINGER: You know I've warned you about that, David.

GATES: Research and development are proceeding rapidly, as far as the central computer goes. Unfortunately, development of the forehead component has hit a slight snag. First, there's been some internal debate about the precise nature of the Mark of the B.E.A.S.T.

KISSINGER: What's so difficult about it?

GATES: Well, the first proposal was for a microchip with satellite uplink. However, we have been unable to work out a few of the bugs yet, and our negotiations with OnStar fell through. So we were thinking of going with RFID instead. But last year the Patriarch of Constantinople pointed out that the text of Revelation specifies a "mark," which seems to imply a certain amount of visibility.

ROCKEFELLER: Meaning?

GATES: Well, implanting it under the skin seems like cheating.

PERL: Good point.

KISSINGER: Could an RFID tag be placed on the surface of the skin?

GATES: It's possible. We've already entered talks with 3M to develop an appropriate adhesive. Unfortunately, there is another problem.

ROTHSCHILD: Not a post-Trib rapture!

GATES: Oh, good heavens, it's not that bad.

ROTHSCHILD: Don't scare me like that.

GATES: It's just . . . well, you see, our marketing department insists that if the Mark is visible at all . . . . . Well, our marketers refuse to sanction it unless the Microsoft logo is also visible.

ROTHSCHILD: Uh, we would have to rework the contract. Commercial promotion is not covered under the current regime. Are we talking about -- are we talking about the actual name of the company?

ROCKEFELLER: Could it just be that little flying window thingee?

KISSINGER: No, no, David. Orange, blue, green, and yellow together on every forehead in the world? The metrosexuals would be up in arms.

ROCKEFELLER: Perhaps they could make it monochrome, like Apple did. It could be a custom color.

ROTHSCHILD: With a snap-on cover for the colors of your favorite NFL franchise!

GATES: I'm afraid our marketing department would -- that would not be consistent with our current marketing communication strategy.

ROCKEFELLER: But it could be done?

GATES: Well, conceivably --

KISSINGER: Good. Let's move on to the third item on the agenda.

PERL: That's the number that looks like a backwards E. One down from number two.

ROTHSCHILD: I know where the number three is, you f--

PERL: Hey, hey, chill!

KISSINGER: Mr Rothschild!

ROTHSCHILD: Sorry. Sorry.

ROCKEFELLER: If you're quite ready, Mr Rothschild.

ROTHSCHILD: Yes. I was just -- my papers are in disarray now --

KISSINGER: Then we'll move on to the fourth item. Is the representative from Coca-Cola present?

ROCKEFELLER: I think he just went to use the -- well, you know -- he stepped out for a moment -- nature called, you see.

ROTHSCHILD: I'm quite ready now, Mr Secretary. I have my brief now. It's right here.

KISSINGER: This is most irregular, David.

ROCKEFELLER: Since Mr Rothschild seems to be prepared now --

KISSINGER: Yes, yes. Proceed, Mr Rothschild. Agenda item three.

ROTHSCHILD: Yes. Er . . . quite. As you know, ladies and gentlemen, the Rothschild holdings have been heavily involved in the preparation of the Cornwall Protocol, for which the UN Secretariat will be organizing a summit in November.

KISSINGER: That's the one about the hats?

ROTHSCHILD: Yes, sir. As you know, the treaty would ban the manufacture and transport of -- that is, it would phase in the ban over four years --

KISSINGER: What seems to be the problem?

ROTHSCHILD: Well, objections have been registered on the behalf of several interest groups. Notably, we have heard complaints from the labor unions and the Federative Republic of Brazil. Labor is concerned about the impact on miners, and Brazil is worried about its tin exports.

ROCKEFELLER: Is the House of Rothschild prepared to put up some security for the tin industry?

ROTHSCHILD: Of course, of course. The cost will be minimal.

KISSINGER: We can have the delegates incorporate such an assurance into the text. The entire protocol is to remain secret, is it not?

PERL: It had better.

KISSINGER: I think the situation is under control, then. The sooner this takes effect, the better I'll feel.

ROTHSCHILD: Quite so, Mr Secretary. Effective controls on the proliferation of tin foil hats will do great things for the new order.

The rest of the transcript merely concerns final technical arrangements for the American-led invasion of France. The meeting adjourned a few minutes later.
