Dat zie je ook bij de EU. De belangrijke besluiten worden door de regeringsleiders samen genomen in geheime overleggen. Met de theoretische mogelijkheid van een veto wordt dat verkocht als goed voor de nationale soevereiniteit, i.t.t. een enge Europese 'superstaat' waar het volk via het parlement écht de macht heeft. En de nationaal-conservatieve kiezer slikt het als zoete koek.

Zou maar zo gewoon de shuttle-service van het hotel kunnen zijn. Moet Dijksma dan extra geld betalen om voor het PvdA-imago speciaal een lulliger uitziende auto te regelen?

Idd. Nog zo'n reden waarom je je er niet meer van moet maken dan het is.

En verder, ik vind die afgunst gewoon typerend. Het is ook zo onnodig. Leg 500 euro neer en je kan ook met z'n tweeën een lang weekend in dat hotel verblijven en met een limousine gehaald en gebracht worden. Volgens mij kan ook elke (niet-werkloze) PvdA-stemmer dat wel betalen als 'ie dat per se een keer wil.

No press conference in sight as Bilderberg stays largely under wraps

quote:

Everyone’s mobile is blocked here. Mine has not worked for days. It is the perfect metaphor for Bilderberg: communication lockdown. Being here and trying to report on this event is not easy at times. Mainstream journalists are human beings and would much sooner go through an open door than bash their heads against a locked one.

In their absence, the door has been forced ajar by the alternative media. Year after year, I witness independent journalists and bloggers grappling gamely with the silence, trying to get information out. Instead of NBC, you have Dan Dicks. In place of the Financial Times, there is Luke Rudkowski. Rather than the BBC, Rob Dew of Infowars is running down the street behind the former CIA director David Petraeus, who now works for Henry Kravis. Petraeus got away, but Dew was there, putting in the effort.

As the years go by, however, there are signs that the mainstream media might be finding ways to talk sensibly about Bilderberg, even if it has not turned up. For a start, news agencies have started coming. Getty Images and Reuters were both here. That is a huge step in the right direction. Local newspapers have been outside the Taschenbergpalais every day, the German tabloid Bild made it down from Berlin and Sky News Australia used a local crew to put together a report.

Overall, there is a marked increase in serious analysis of the conference. As facts about Bilderberg’s funding and operation are gradually being pieced together, and its function as a key lobbying enterprise for big oil and big banking is more easily perceived. Information about the event makes it easier to critique. This virtuous circle means that journalists are more likely to stitch a serious story together and less inclined to hide behind an ironic distance, resorting to tired old conspiracy theories.

We are close to a tipping point. All that is needed is a final tickle under the chin of the mainstream press, and the reporters will come.

Eigenlijk is het transparant. Wat wil je nog meer. Je weet dat de industriëlen en lieden van overheden iets bespreken. Dat je dit niet alleemaal de straat op gooit lijkt mij duidelijk.

Och zolang contant geld bestaat en mensen niet gechipt worden is er niets aan de hand. Het plebs waar ik ook toe behoor is er altijd geweest en dat zal nooit veranderen.

quote:

The timing is perfect. The more reticent older guard of Bilderberg is gradually beeing replaced by a younger generation, particularly from Silicon Valley, more at ease with the idea of opening up to the press. The PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, one of the more youthful members of Bilderberg’s steering committee, made a formal statement to journalists during his Dresden walkabout. The tireless Luke Rudkowski asked him a clever question about his libertarian values, and Thiel responded. In the closest thing in decades to a Bilderberg press conference, he said he thought it was always important to exchange views with people, no matter what their perspectives are.

“I think we have a lot of problems in our society ... We need to find ways to talk to people where not everything is completely transparent. Libertarianism is not synonymous with radical transparency. That’s often an argument the Stasi would make, in East Germany, where everything had to be monitored by society. And I think often you have the best conversations in smaller groups, where not everything is being monitored; that’s how you get very honest conversations and how you can think better about the future.”

I’m not holding up Peter Thiel as a champion of the free press. Gawker’s blood is still wet on his hands. But at least he spoke to us. It’s a start.

The statement, however, reveals is a profound confusion at the heart of Bilderbergian logic. Thiel argues that transparency is a pervasive problem for honest dialogue, that it has to be overcome at events such as Bilderberg for the sake of the future. But the radical transparency that he talks about, the all-seeing surveillance of everything, is not what journalists and transparency campaigners are pushing for. The transparency that we want to see in our politics is not incompatible with personal privacy. They are two different spheres.

In East Germany, conversations were not monitored by society. It was society that was monitored by the Stasi. I find it odd to hear Thiel, who is obviously an intelligent man, say something so wrongheaded.

Of course, the societal transparency demanded by the Stasi went hand in hand with a heavily guarded privacy at the top of the administration. It is the same, I am afraid to say, at Bilderberg. Privacy is not a problem for the billionaires and the heads of transnational corporations that run it. It is just a matter of how many rings of riot police they want around the venue.

Meanwhile, the people outside are having their identities checked, being filmed by police and closely monitored online. Transparency is no issue for Bilderberg. But it is a problem for the public.

NSA Looking to Exploit Internet of Things, Including Biomedical Devices, Official Says

The National Security Agency is researching opportunities to collect foreign intelligence — including the possibility of exploiting internet-connected biomedical devices like pacemakers, according to a senior official.

“We’re looking at it sort of theoretically from a research point of view right now,” Richard Ledgett, the NSA’s deputy director, said at a conference on military technology at Washington’s Newseum on Friday.

Biomedical devices could be a new source of information for the NSA’s data hoards — “maybe a niche kind of thing … a tool in the toolbox,” he said, though he added that there are easier ways to keep track of overseas terrorists and foreign intelligence agents.

When asked if the entire scope of the Internet of Things — billions of interconnected devices — would be “a security nightmare or a signals intelligence bonanza,” he replied, “Both.”

“As my job is to penetrate other people’s networks, complexity is my friend,” he said. “The first time you update the software, you introduce vulnerabilities, or variables rather. It’s a good place to be in a penetration point of view.”
