Watch that weasel deny he associates with far right loons now! It's after the, "send us your name (so we can add it to Willis Carto's empire), so we can send it to Pat, even though if y'all weren't so dumb you'd realize you can get a Reform Party ballot directly from the RPUSA, " anouncement. These folks are shameless.

> Bilderberg Meeting Adventure
>
> Over the years, many journalists and others have helped The SPOTLIGHT
> penetrate the Bilderberg curtain of secrecy. Here, Tony Gosling, a free
> lance writer, describes his adventures at the latest meeting.
>
> By Tony Gosling
>
> Euro-Green party researcher Grattan Healy and I had a rare five-star
dinner
> in the bar of the Chateau du Lac hotel, just outside Brussels. For once,
our
> minds were not on the food. Rather, how to figure out whether or not the
> secretive Bilderberg club will tomorrow have sealed off this hotel for
their
> notorious annual meeting.
>
> Bilderberg takes its name from a hotel in Holland where the first secret
> transatlantic conference took place back in 1954. Original chairman and
> founder of the club, ex-SS Nazi Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands owned
the
> place. Bilderberg's "steering group" boasts the wealthiest bankers and
> industrialists in the western world, no less.
>
> Grattan's research has shown how elite clubs like Bilderberg and the
> Trilateral Commission are managing somehow to install more of their
members
> on the European Commission at the heart of Europe. And more recently links
> have been exposed with the powerful European Round Table of
industrialists.
>
> The current Bilderberg chairman founded it. Grattan's been getting
> embarrassing questions asked by greens at the European Union's rubber
stamp
> department, the Parliament. As for me, I was curious to see these
> Bilderbergers in the flesh for the first time. Being stone broke as usual,
I
> arrived in Brussels from Bristol mostly by skipping trains. It had to be
the
> right place after all that effort.
>
> During a snoop round the hotel interior, Grattan spotted a sign pointing
to
> a "Steering Group" meeting. A deliberate hoax? We had to find out in the
> morning.
>
> Mike Peters, Marxist sociology lecturer from Leeds who has written one of
> the most comprehensive studies to date on the Bilderbergers, flew into
> Brussels late that evening Wednesday, May 31. Another leap of faith.
>
> Arriving at the chateau the next morning we noticed rear entrances had
been
> padlocked and chained. Around the front, the mock-Florentine lobby had a
> rude addition: a white plastic entrance tunnel and drive-in awning had
> sprung up overnight. Was this to protect chauffeur-driven guests from the
> rain on this cloudless day? Or from prying eyes? This was no bum steer.
The
> SPOTLIGHT's got the place, all right.
>
> The limos began arriving. The shiny black Mercedeses with their
> characteristic "B" clearly displayed in the front windshield. We could
just
> see into the awning and film most of the participants as they emerged from
> the backs of the limos. Doormen attempted to hold make shift curtains up
to
> conceal the more sensitive guests. We managed most ly to film them between
> the gaps.
>
> We had a chat with a photographer and a reporter for The SPOTLIGHT, the
> populist newspaper and the only people in the world able to root out
> Bilderberg venues ahead of the event. What a sincere, concerned pair they
> seemed, and we had been told SPOTLIGHT was neo-Nazi.
>
> Chilling to think that without the bloodhound work of writer Jim Tucker no
> one but the participants would have known this meeting was taking place.
> "But we send out a press release," the Bilderberg office bleats if you
> bother to complain. What they don't tell you is that you have to request
it
> from the hotel (how is anyone supposed to know where to call?) and they
only
> release it as everybody's leaving. Too late for the press.
>
> Thursday, June 1, is a bank holiday in Belgium. Families were out in the
> sun, taking a stroll round the lovely Genval lake, almost oblivious to the
> capitalist heavyweights emerging from limos feet away inside the awning.
The
> regulars were arriving: Conrad Black, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands,
> Kenneth Clarke, David Rockefeller and James Wolfensohn, president of the
> World Bank.
>
> The new chairman, Viscount Etienne Davignon, came out to get what, we
joked,
> looked like a bag of drugs from his car.
>
> He owns most of the public utilities and one of the biggest banks in
Belgium.
>
> "Will you be holding a press conference, Davignon?" Grattan shouted. "I
> don't think so," Davignon replied.
>
> "Why not?" Grattan asked.
>
> "We don't have enough interesting things to say," Davignon replied.
>
> Then, reporters and other on-lookers shouted questions and answers at each
> other.
>
> "And who's that?" one asked. "It's Jean-Claude Trichet," came the reply.
> "Who's he?" "The next boss of the Euro pean Central Bank." He obviously
> won't have anything interesting to say either.
>
> "What about this one?" "That's Daniel Vasella, CEO of Novartis with
William
> McDonough, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York." "That one's
> the boss of The Washington Post [publisher Donald Graham] and hey, there
> goes George Soros! Look, it's one of the new European Commissioners,
Pascal
> Lamy."
>
> This looked like an elite group to me.
>
> Another brand-new Mercedes arrived.
>
> An aloof looking guest turned away from the cameras. We looked at each
other
> and shook our heads, another one we didn't recognize.
>
> Grattan called out to him: "Are you a big shot sir?" The passing Belgian
> public were spellbound by the line of polished black Mercedeses. "What's
> going on?" they kept asking, in French, as we prepared for the next
arrival.
> "It's Bilder berg." They nodded in reply, as if they knew what we meant,
> then shuffled off looking puzzled.
>
> Untouchable elite types were swinging out of limos next to a busy public
> road and footpath-clearly an uptight security man's nightmare.
>
> Men with bulging sweaters or badly-fitting jackets wearing dark glasses
> walked back and forth. Ah, that would be the plainclothes Belgian secret
> service with their guns.
>
> I asked one if he knew what's going on at the hotel. "I don't know," he
> said, smiling and baring rat-like teeth. He was not a good actor. Glad I
> couldn't see his eyes.
>
> A big CIA officer turned up and ordered the Belgians around. They knew
their

>
> This year's Bilderberg meeting had to be hastily rearranged after the
> Austrian anti-EU Freedom Party (do I hear neo-Nazi mud being slung?) was
> elected-hence we and the public were so close by. We might never have
gotten

>
> Bilderberg does everything it can to conceal where it's meeting and

> Okay, out the window go journalistic freedoms which are the lynch pin of
any

>
> They created a vacuum. We decided to get on the telephone. On Saturday

>
> Politicians, newspaper editors, Euro pean commissioners and civil servants

> competition to be taken out?
>
> Just as the Bilderbergers were leaving on Saturday, two secret servicemen
> asked The SPOTLIGHT photographer to show a Belgian press pass, then

> Who Is Banning School Prayer?
>
> Those of you who think that voting for a member of the new party movement
is
> helping to elect Al Gore or some other liberal should take a look at who
> voted in favor of banning prayer in school . . .
>
> By Fred Lingel
>
> On June 19, a Republican-appointed majority on the Supreme Court voted 6
to
> 3 to expand prohibitions against religious activity in public schools.
> That's another way of saying the Republican-dominated court has once again
> ruled against school prayer.
>
> This ruling confirms precisely what The SPOTLIGHT said in an editorial on
> May 8: The "conservative Republican" Supreme Court has continued to hold
> positions that run counter to the desires of not only self-styled
> "conservatives" but of every local community and state involved.
>
> Thus, the loud argument against voting for a third party candidate because
> that "will help elect a liberal Democrat who will stack the Supreme Court
> with a bunch of liberal judges," has been definitively laid to rest for
all
> time.
>
> In 1984 and in 1988 patriots were told that if they supported a third
party
> candidate that it would hurt Ronald Reagan or George Bush and result in a
> leftist-dominated Supreme Court. In fact, that's exactly what the United
> States has today, courtesy of Repub licans like Reagan and Bush.
>
> In the controversial Supreme Court ruling, four Republican court appoin
> tees-supported by two Democrats-issued what has been described as a "far
> reaching" decision that is expected to result in court challenges to local
> school district policies that allow even simple "moments of silence" in
schools.
>
> Two of the "conservative" Republican justices who voted against school
> prayer were appointed by Ronald Reagan: Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony M.
> Kennedy. Another, David Souter, was appointed by George Bush. The fourth,
> John Paul Stevens, was appointed by Gerald Ford. These Republican foes of
> religious liberty were joined by two Bill Clinton appointees, Steven
Breyer
> and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, in issuing the ruling.
>
> Three Republican appointees did take the court's "minority" position:
Chief
> Justice William Rehnquist, Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas.
>
> Other than election year rhetoric, this whole issue is bogus as the
purpose
> of the Supreme Court is to rule on whether or not a contested statute is
> pursuant to our constitutional law. Decisions such as those regarding
> religious activity in public schools should be left solely up to the
> residents of the local communities and the states.
>
> A president who will appoint justices who will in turn return the court to
> its purpose is the only kind of president to elect.
>
> The SPOTLIGHT's editorial of May 8 summarized it all quite well:
>
> "The next time somebody tells you that America will go down the tubes and
> that the election of a Republican 'conservative' is necessary to ensure a
> 'conservative' majority on the Supreme Court, tell them to wake up and
smell
> the coffee brewing at the abortion clinic down on the corner."

> In 1997, the Russian government began issuing state bonds, known as GKOs,

percent.

> Goldman Sachs, the giant Wall Street investment bank, home base of

put

ostensibly

Ukrainian

> "CSFB collected huge fees and interest payments for its part in this
rip-off

underpaid,
