TORONTO, May 30th.-- The veil of secrecy which usually surrounds
annual meetings of the Bilderberg, the highest level of the global
and financial elite, was torn apart this morning by a front-page
story in one of Canada's most widely-read and influential
newspapers, the TORONTO STAR.

Under the headline BLACK PLAYS HOST TO WORLD LEADERS, John 
Deverell, a business reporter for the newspaper, noted that
not only had Canadian publisher Conrad Black offered $295
million to gain control of Canada's largest newspaper chain
and weathered the subsequent annual meeting of his Hollinger
Inc, but that - to cap his week - "...he's now the host for a
four-day closely guarded meeting of world leaders and royalty
just north of Toronto."

The TORONTO STAR, and other major Toronto media, had previously
received a detailed news release from the Toronto-based NEW 
WORLD ORDER INTELLIGENCE UPDATE alerting them to this 
well-concealed gathering. The UPDATE's Web page address is
http://www.inforamp.net/~jwhitley.

Deverell listed some of the more than 100 hand-picked attendees
from around the world as "U.S. Defence Secretary William Perry,
Prime Minister Jean Chretien, former U.S. Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger, the queens of the Netherlands and Spain as well
as other business, political and academic elite." He also noted
that Conrad Black, a media magnate, is a permanent member of the
Bilderberg, and added "For 42 years the secretive organization 
has devoted itself to strengthening the Atlantic military
alliance and economies."

The elite group is meeting May 30th to June 2nd at the Canadian
Imperial Bank of Commerce's luxuriously-appointed $60 million 
King Ranch top management and leadership centre outside King 
City, just north of Toronto.       

Deverell concluded by reporting that "The guest list and agenda
for the four-day conference are secret. A ban on reporters 'makes
discussion more intimate and candid', Black said yesterday. 'There
are no massive indiscretions, but the exchanges can be quite
heated.'"

Bilderberger meetings are normally not even mentioned in the Press.
The TORONTO STAR, a liberal paper with a long tradition of award-
winning journalism, is one of the few remaining independent 
newspapers in Canada.

In his 1993 biography, A LIFE IN PROGRESS, Conrad Black had this
to say about the Bilderberg, which he first attended in May, 
1981:

 "This group was set up in the mid-fifties by Prince Bernhard of
  the Netherlands and was designed to strengthen understanding
  between prominent people in the North Atlantic community. It 
  met at the Dutch resort hotel that gave the group its name.
  About 120 or so people meet from every full-fledged 
  traditionally non-communist European country, as well as
  Canada and the United States. They normally include senior 
  officials of the governments of all the countries 
  represented, with a wide swath of enlightened business,
  academic, media and military leaders. There was always a
  group of international officials, led by the NATO Secretary-
  General and military commander and the head of the OECD
  [Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development]

  The key to the unique success of the Bilderberg meetings 
  has been to hold them in remote places almost entirely 
  without spouses or aides, to discourage prepared texts,
  and to confine discussion as much as possible to English.

  Although I had first met Henry Kissinger in Palm Beach 
  in 1979, and then at a luncheon in Toronto, jointly 
  hosted by the ECONOMIST magazine and our company 
  in 1980, and later socially in New York, it was at 
  Bilderberg that I got to know him and a number of our
  other, future, directors and advisory board members. These
  included Gianni Agnelli of Fiat, Dwayne Andreas [controlling
  shareholder of the giant agri-business Archer-Daniels, 
  Midland], Zbigniew Brzezinski [former national security   
  advisor in the Carter administration], Lord Carrington
  [former British foreign and defence secretary and 
  secretary-general of NATO], Andrew Knight [editor of the
  ECONOMIST], Richard Perle [former U.S. assistant secretary 
  of National Defence and one of the champions of the 
  Strategic Defence Initiative ("Star Wars") and Euro-missile
  deployment], Paul Volker [former Federal Reserve chairman],
  and George Will [U.S. conservative columnist and
  commentator], as well as many other interesting people.

  Not having very satisfactory recollections of schooldays,
  nor being a very enthusiastic or obsevant university 
  alumnus, Bilderberg has been the closest I have known to
  that sort of comaraderie. The animated social sessions, as
  much as the cut and thrust on the principal strategic and
  economic issues faced by the Atlantic community, have given 
  me, and many other regular participants, a powerful and
  entirely agreeable sense of community with some very
  talented and prominent people. After 1986, I became the
  co-leader of the Canadian group and effectively chose most 
  of the Canadian participants.

  Providentially, the world became more accessible for me 
  as Canada became less commodious. It was from Bilderberg
  that our company's eventual vocation as an international
  newspaper organization arose." 

Others have a different view of Bilderberg. In his superbly-
researched 1995 book, CLINTON CONFIDENTIAL: THE UNAUTHORIZED
BIOGRAPHY OF BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON, George Carposi Jr.
had this to say of this powerful organization of which 
President Clinton is also a member, and which "anointed" 
him for the Presidency at its private June, 1991, meeting 
in Baden-Baden, Germany:

  "The organization claims 'secrecy is demanded so as to
   encourage frank discussions by persons whose positions 
   otherwise wotuld restrict full expressions of their
   personal views'. Consequently, the identities of those  
   attending the gatherings are never made known. They are
   referred to only by their own press releases or by
   reporters camped at a distance from the meeting sites, 
   always off-limits to both press and public.

   Over the years, the Bilderberg Conference has attracted
   many highly-placed critics who protest that the 
   organization
    
     * sets itself above governments

     * manipulates global finances and imperiously establishes
       rigid and binding monetary rates around the world.

     * selects political figures whom the conference decrees
       should become rulers - and also targets those whom it 
       wants removed from power.

     * decides which countries shall wage war on others.

   "The Bilderbergers are powerful enough to pull the rug out
    [from under] one nation and to pave the way for the rise
    of another", said a scholar intimately aquainted with the
    Bilderberger modus operandi.

   "An example is the way the conferees decreed the impoverish-
    ment of South American countries for many years. Now they've 
    done an about-face, and are building up those lands.

   "They are above government. They dictate terms and run the 
    world the way the Bilderberger brains trust decides it 
    should be.

   "It is incomprehensible how so many highly placed people of 
    influence can be sucked into this secret society's orbit
    to participate in their closed-door planning sessions
    that ordain drastic and historic changes to create a
    new world order to be controlled by the most powerful 
    of global bankers", says the scholar.

    A partial roster of infuential Americans who have attended
    Bilderberg Conferences includes Arthur Hayes Sulzberger, 
    president and publisher of the NEW YORK TIMES; C.D. Jackman,
    vice-president of TIME, Inc; George F. Kennan, former
    ambassador to the Soviet Union; Eugene R. Black, president
    of the International Bank; Gabriel Howe, economic advisor
    to President Dwight D. Eisenhower; David I. McDonald,
    president of the United Steel Workers; David Rockefeller,
    chairman of the Chase Manhattan Bank; and former Secretary
    of State Henry A. Kissinger.

    Meetings are generally held semi-annually and participants, 
    as some of the aforementioned names indicate, represent
    selected public officials, economists, professionals,
    publishers, industrialists, labor leaders, and people of 
    influence from virtually all walks of life....

    Meetings are always held in an atmosphere of utmost security.
    Each delegate is sworn to secrecy, pledging never to divulge
    what is discussed or to identify others who attend."

As reported in yesterday's Press Release, however, the NEW WORLD
ORDER INTELLIGENCE UPDATE has learned that a planned 1997
Unilateral Declaration of Independence by Quebec's Premier
Bouchard, resulting in the breakup of Canada and its eventual
absorbtion into Continental Union with the United States by the
year 2005, will be high on the agenda. 

Other items to be discussed include the sweeping and Draconian 
recommendations of the elite's 1995 Commission on Global 
Governance Report, OUR GLOBAL NEIGHBOURHOOD. The multi-billion 
dollar privatization of Ontario Hydro, the province's massive 
publicly-owned electricity generator and distributor will also be 
on the agenda. Such privatization sales in England have led to 
a "pure money machine" flow of profits for top investors.

The standard Bilderberger response to queries concerning their
agenda, the identities of participants, and the decisions reached
is that "secrecy encourages frank discussion." In his 1967 book,
THE NEW UNHAPPY LORDS: AN EXPOSURE OF POWER POLITICS, British
author A.K. Chesterton responded directly to that excuse by
commenting that "Men pursuing purposes which will bear the light 
of day do not hold secret meetings in different parts of the world."
