TORONTO, 31st May--The elite and secretive Bilderbergers
are not used to choking on their breakfasts, but that's
what many of them probably did this morning if they
opened today's TORONTO STAR, or tuned into Toronto's
680-NEWS radio station.

The TORONTO STAR ran a virtually full-page story,
complete with an illustrated list of the immensely 
powerful but publicity-shy attendees, on the secretive 
1996 Bilderberg Conference on the front page of its 
widely-read Business Section. 

The detailed and revealing story, headlined BIG HITTERS 
GATHER: Vast Array Of International VIP's Talk Things Over 
At Secretive Bilderberg '96 In King City, noted that 
"[Conrad] Black, media baron and chairman of Hollinger 
Inc., and other permanent members of the group, are 
unhappy at suggestions by extremists of the left and 
right that the private event is part of a system of 
secret government."

This is the first time in the history of the Bilderberg
Conferences that a major newspaper has ever scrutinized
them in such a fashion. Normally, Bilderberg meetings
are not even mentioned in the main-line media. Bilderbergers
are not accustomed to have to provide explanations to
anyone, particularly since certain of their members own or
control major metropolitan newspapers, newspaper chains
and wire services.

TORONTO STAR Business Reporter John Deverell quoted Black
as stating that the secrecy surrounding Bilderberg
meetings has "no purpose other than to allow leading
citizens to speak their minds openly and freely."

The list of such "leading citizens", who Black stated
"attend Bilderberg in a private and not an official
capacity", includes among its hand-picked ranks such 
international financiers as Andrew Soros and David 
Rockefeller, European bluebloods like the Queens of 
the Netherlands and Spain, U.S. government officials
like Defence Secretary William Perry and Senior Advisor 
to the President George Stephanopolous, U.S. Senator
Sam Nunn, the NATIONAL REVIEW's William Buckley,
ex-U.S. government luminaries Lloyd Bentsen [former
Treasury Secretary] and Henry Kissinger, and 
distinguished "international citizens" like Peter 
Sutherland [former director-general of GATT and
the WTO] and World Bank President James Wolfensohn.

Canadian attendees include Frederik Eaton, of the
major department store chain; Paul Martin, Finance
Minister; Jean Chretien, the Prime Minister of 
Canada; Red Wilson, Chairman of Bell Canada 
Enterprises; Ted Rogers, the communications and 
cable mogul; Al Flood, Chairman of the Canadian
Imperial Bank of Commerce; and Ontario Premier 
Mike Harris.

"Security was barely visible at the [King] Ranch
yesterday, " Deverell reported. He quoted James
Tucker, a reporter for THE SPOTLIGHT newspaper in 
Washington D.C., who is an experienced Bilderberger 
watcher, as commenting "This is very low-key. In 
Switzerland, where they had this last year, they
brought out the Swiss Army."

According to Deverell's detailed report, "This year's
topics include the enlargement of the European Union,
the problems of former Yugoslavia, relations with
China and Russia and obstacles to economic growth."

The TORONTO STAR, a liberal paper with a record of 
award-winning journalism and superb investigative 
articles, is one of the few remaining independent 
newspapers in Canada.

At 7:45 this morning, 680-NEWS, a popular news radio
station with a large metro Toronto audience, carried
the following report which was re-aired at intervals
as part of their news schedule:

  Dick Smythe: "Well, this sounds like the plot of
  a conspiracy movie, as the world's movers and
  shakers meet in secret. Conrad Black is holding 
  his annual Bilderberg Conference. Here's 680's
  Karen Parsons...
  Reporter: "About one hundred notables, including 
  the Queens of the Netherlands and Spain, along
  with Henry Kissinger, the U.S. Defence Secretary
  William Perry and our Prime Minister, have 
  gathered for the conference. Also along, the
  heads of Ford Motor Company, Xerox, the Bank of
  Commerce and Reuters. Black says there is a ban
  on reporters, so discussion will be intimate 
  and candid. He says "exchanges can often be 
  quite heated." Participants are required to take
  a vow of silence. Last year's conference was held 
  in three mountaintop luxury hotels in Switzerland.
  This year, it's at a $60 million dollar luxury 
  spa in King City." 
     
Canadian Press also distributed a brief report on the
previously-secret meeting, which was published today 
by, among other newspapers, the TORONTO SUN.
     
The major Toronto media and news services were first
alerted to this well-concealed gathering by Press
Releases from the Toronto-based NEW WORLD ORDER 
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE, the Web site address for which
is http://www.inforamp.net/~jwhitley.

THE NEW WORLD ORDER INTELLIGENCE UPDATE has also
learned, through its own sources, that the 1996
Bilderberg Conference will also be discussing
the planned breakup of Canada by way of a 1997 
Unilateral Declaration of Independence by Quebec,
with the ultimate goal being Continental Union
by the year 2005; the planned privatization
sale of Ontario Hydro, a source of vast profits
for well-placed investors; and certain of
the Draconian recommendations included in the
1995 Report of the elite's Commission on Global
Governance, OUR GLOBAL NEIGHBOURHOOD.

Despite the disarming disclaimer that the 
Bilderberg is just an innocuous group of "private
citizens", drawn together to discuss the world's
ills and opportunities privately and therefore
uninhibitedly, solid evidence exists that this
is not the case.

In his groundbreaking 1966 1300-page book, TRAGEDY 
AND HOPE, Professor Carroll Quigley, a distinguished
faculty member at the Georgetown University School 
of Foreign Service and a member of "insider" elite
organizations sharing membership with the Bilderbergers,
confirmed that an international "network" of wealthy
and influential personages did indeed secretly control 
world events through private conferences, consensus, and 
concerted action. He wrote:   
 
  "This network, which we may identify as the Round 
   Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with 
   the Communists or any other group, and frequently
   does so. I know of the operations of this network
   because I have studied it for twenty years and was
   permitted, for two years, in the early 1960's, to
   examine its papers and secret records. I have no
   aversion to it or to most of its aims and I have,
   for much of my life, been close to it and to many 
   of its instruments."

No one can accuse Dr. Quigley of having been either an
"extremist" or a "conspiratorialist." His students spoke
of him in awed tones as "a genius." One of his more
distinguished students, President Bill Clinton [who was
"anointed" for the Presidency by the Bilderbergers at
their June, 1991 Baden-Baden meeting] has referred 
to Professor Quigley publicly on several occasions as
having had an outstanding and formative influence on
his view of the world. 
   
Professor Quigley summarized this "network's" grand plan
in this way:

  "Their aim is nothing less than to create a world
   system of financial control in private hands able to
   dominate the political system of each country and the
   economy of the world as a whole. The system was to
   be controlled in a fuedalistic fashion by the 
   central banks of the world acting in concert, by
   secret agreements arrived at in frequent private 
   meetings and conferences."

Thus, the secrecy which surrounds Bilderberger meetings.

Not surprisingly, TRAGEDY AND HOPE, though written by
Professor Quigley with the aim of recruiting support
among more "enlightened" academics, publishers, 
politicians, labour leaders and business magnates for
a planned New World Order, the foundations of which had
already largely been laid, revealed too much. Within 
months of its publication, it was abruptly withdrawn by
Macmillan, its publishers.

Additional information on the Bilderbergers and their
background can be found at Paul Angus Sullivan's Web
page at http://ezmail.net [scroll down to the section
entitled "Russ Limbaugh's Greatest Fears"]. Paul,
the President of Toronto's GLOBAL MULTIMEDIA, has
been engaged in an on-going public Internet debate
on this topic with Rush Limbaugh, the well-known
American talk-show host. Paul can be reached by
journalists at 416-483 8317 [mornings] and at

Journalists interested in finding additional 
documentary sources on Quebec separation, the 
planned breakup of Canada, and the continent-reshaping 
elite-sponsored James Bay-U.S. GRAND CANAL water 
diversion scheme will find these archived at Jeff
Koftinoff's GRAND CANAL Web site at:
http://www.xmission.com/~seer/jdksoftware/canal.html
[scroll down to the "Main Documents and Interviews"
section]. 

Please note that, after sustained Internet exposure of the
secret GRAND CANAL project during the last Quebec
referendum, Premier Jaques Parizeau announced that the
final, necessary, expansion of the James Bay dam
system was "cancelled". A subsequent Quebec Hydro Press
Release, however, declared it only "postponed until after
2005" - the projected date for Canada-U.S. Continental
Union! The GRAND CANAL project will turn Canada's fresh 
water resources into a river of "liquid gold" for its 
elite backers, some of whom are Bilderberg members.
