Date: Fri, 7 Jun 1996 15:43:09 -0400 (EDT) From: John K. Whitley Subject: BILDERBERGER's implement their 1996 decisions *fast*...! AFTER THE TORONTO BILDERBERG CONFERENCE: 35% OF ONTARIO HYDRO TO BE PRIVATIZED, SAM NUNN TO BE APPOINTED AS DOLE'S V.P., QUEBEC SEPARATION POSTPONED! Toronto Bilderberg Conference Contact: John Whitley FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE [416] 481 4868 fax: [416] 322 7238 e-mail: jwhitley@inforamp.net TORONTO, June 7th -- Events and decisions having major impact upon citizens of of the U.S. and Canada have flowed swiftly from the recent super-secretive Bilderberg Meeting in Toronto. The Bilderbergers, a secretive group of 120 of the most influential and powerful people in the world, meet secretly once a year in a heavily-guarded location. Every participant takes a vow of silence and no press releases giving the substance of their discussions are ever made available to reporters. This year, the assorted and elite group of royalty, international financiers, heads of international agencies, titans of industry and key U.S., European and Canadian politicians met privately May 30th to June 2nd at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce's extremely luxurious $60 million "leadership centre" at the King Ranch, just outside King City on the outskirts of Toronto. The Toronto media and news services were first alerted to this meeting by Press Releases from the Toronto-based NEW WORLD ORDER INTELLIGENCE UPDATE, the Web site address for which is http://www.inforamp.net/~jwhitley. Normally, Bilderberg meetings are never mentioned in the media. Conrad Black, the organiser of this year's Bilderberg Conference, owns more than 40% of Canadian newspapers. On this occasion, however, the TORONTO STAR, one of Canada's few remaining independent newspapers and a paper distinguished by a long record of award-winning journalism, ran a major and unprecedented story on the 1996 Bilderberg Conference. The Friday, May 31st, edition of the newspaper contained a major article on the front page of the Business Section which listed the attendees. In its news releases, THE NEW WORLD ORDER INTELLIGENCE UPDATE emphasized that it had learned from reliable sources that high on the agenda at this secret Bilderberg meeting was the privatization sale of the massive government-owned Ontario Hydro electricity production and distribution utility, a potential source of "pure money machine profits" for key investors. Also high on the secret agenda was a planned Unilateral Declaration of Independence in Quebec in early 1997, intended to fragment Canada with the aim of acheiving Continental Union with the U.S. by 2005. We also pointed out that Bilderberg conferences choose and "anoint" new political leaders, and cited the example of then-governor Bill Clinton's "annointing" for the U.S. Presidency at the 1991 Bilderberg Conference in Baden-Baden, Germany. This morning's TORONTO STAR, in a front page story headlined POWER CUT URGES FOR HYDRO, revealed that a Commission headed by Donald S. MacDonald has recommended to the Ontario Premier, Mike Harris, than one-third of Ontario Hydro's generating capacity should be sold to private businesses. MacDonald was appointed to head the Commission last November by Premier Harris, who attended last weekend's Bilderberg meeting. Similar electricity utility sell-offs in England have led to windfall profits for those investors well-placed enough to corner shares, but to sky-rocketing price increases and widespread complaints of poorer service for consumers. According to MACLEAN'S magazine, Southern Electric International, a subsidiary of the huge Atlanta-based Southern Co., is "very interested" in investing in Ontario Hydro. Enron Corp., of Houston, Texas, has also made its interest known: Bill Harlinger, Ontario Hydro's Chairman, visited Enron two years ago. Donald S. MacDonald was involved in an interesting exchange at the February 19th, 1996 public meeting of the MacDonald Commission, at the Holiday Inn in Guelph, Ontario. We are indebted to DISCLOSURE AND DISCOURSE, a monthly Ontario-based newspaper, for this this report: "Why do you list such things as cross-country skiing and tennis in your curriculum vitae for the "Who is Who in Canada", yet omit to mention the most powerful job you've ever had?" [Charles] Frey asked MacDonald at the Feb. 19th meeting in Guelph. When the chair expressed ignorance, Frey produced documents that listed MacDonald as a member of the Trilateral Commission as well as a member of the Steering Committee of the Bilderbergers. After what [John] Bowlby described as a "stunned silence" in the packed Holiday Inn meeting Hall, MacDonald said he had resigned from the Bilderbergers. He made no mention of his current status with the Trilateral Commission. The Trilateral Commision and the Bilderbergers, according to Holly Sklar, author of TRILATERALISM, are alliances of several hundred of the world's most powerful people whose aim is to control the world's resources. Trilateralists envisage the world as three economic superblocs - Europe, the Western Hemisphere, and Japan - each with a single government and all under the umbrella of a world government. The Bilderbergers have been in existence since the early 1950's. American multi-billionaire David Rockefeller [NOTE: also present at the secret Toronto Bilderberg Conference] was organizer of the Trilateral Commission in 1973 with the help of Zbigniew Brzezinski, national security advisor to former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. "What particularly concerned us was that another member of the committee, sitting up there with MacDonald at the meeting, was also listed as a member of the Trilateralist Commission - Darcy McKeogh, the provincial treasurer who was ousted by former Premier Bill Davis", Bowlby said in a later interview. A third familiar name on the membership list of the Trilateral Commission was that of recent Ontario Hydro Chair, Maurice Strong. "Strong is a close associate of Rockefeller, " Bowlby said. "He has been the trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation and a member of the Council of Rockefeller University." The newspaper had previously noted that: The move to privatize Ontario Hydro began with high-profile Canadian industrialist Maurice Strong, hired by former Ontario Premier Bob Rae in 1992 to solve Ontario Hydro's $34 billion debt problem, following the overbuilding of nuclear plants. Strong now admits his staff cut of 7,000, stoppage of construction, and organizational restructuring were intended to lead to the breakup of the utility for privatization. It concluded its report by pointing out that: MacDonald chairs Seimens Electric, Ltd., of Mississauga, Ontario [a subsidiary of Germany's Siemens AG that has sold at least 50 gas turbines to world-wide utilities]. MacDonald is a director of the civil engineering firm Banister Foundation Inc., which has a subsidiary that specializes in hydro-electic plants. MacDonald is also a director of TransCanada pipelines Ltd., a major gas supplier that would benefit from a deregulated utility market. MacDonald is reported to have said he would resign if these connections became a problem.

Meanwhile, the NEW WORLD ORDER INTELLIGENCE UPDATE has learned from a U.S. correspondent that Republican Senator Bob Dole's vice-presidential search committee wants Democratic Senator Sam Nunn, of Georgia, to be his running mate. Senator Nunn was an attendee at the recent Toronto Bilderberger Conference. In a June 6, 1996 , front page article in THE WASHINGTON TIMES, the GOP was reported as being stunned by this report. Our correspondent went on to comment: The heads of state Republican Parties in Georgia, Minnesota, Maryland, and Wisconsin expressed confusion about the possible choice. Some thought it might be a joke. Nunn, a 24 year senate veteran, is seen by some to be on the conservative side of the Democrat party, but was rated 22 out of 100 on a scale where 100 is perfectly conservative. He is a liberal socialist. When the Democrats controlled the Senate, he headed the Armed Services Committee, which has destroyed America's defensive capability and is surrendering our military to the New World Order. Finally, in what reporters described as a "baffling flip-flop", Quebec's separatist Premier Lucien Bouchard told a meeting of business and financial leaders in New York, June 5th, that sovereignty is now on the back-burner. This was followed by a report in today's TORONTO STAR headlined "ZERO" CHANCE OF SEPARATING, HARRIS SAYS, in which Ontario's Bilderberger Premier was quoted as making the "bold statement", before a U.S. business and investment audience, that "I think the chances of a separation between Quebec and Canada are zilch, absolutely zero. I don't see any possibilty." The STAR's reporter, William Walker, wrote that "The statements were by far Harris' boldest declarations on the national unity issue since he was elected a year ago." Harris, of course, had just finished attending the Bilderberg Conference. Since the NEW WORLD ORDER INTELLIGENCE UPDATE widely publicized, on the Internet and via Press Releases, the fact that a planned Quebec UDI, slated for early 1997, was on the agenda, we can only wonder if the Bilderbergers have done what they and similar secretive groups always do when their purposes are exposed, and simply re-drafted their plans and schedule. That would certainly provide Bilderberger Harris with his "certainty". In the meantime, Ontario's hydro consumers will be the first to bear the cost of these secret deliberations. It goes without saying that Bilderbergers will be the first to profit from them. - 30 -
