Reflections by comrade Fidel
THE UNITED
NATIONS, IMPUNITY AND WAR
Resolution 1929 of the United
Nations Security Council on June 9, 2010 sealed the fate of imperialism.
I’m not sure how
many noticed that among other absurdities, the Secretary General of the United
Nations Ban Ki-moon, fulfilling orders from above, committed the blunder of
appointing Alvaro Uribe (when he was about to complete his mandate) as vice president of
the commission to investigate the Israeli attack on the humanitarian
fleet carrying essential food to the besieged population in the Gaza Strip. The attack occurred
in international waters and at a considerable distance from the coast.
That decision gave
Uribe, accused of war crimes, total impunity: as if a country full of mass
graves of the bodies of murdered people, some with as many as 2,000 victims;
and seven US military bases, plus the rest of the Colombian military bases at its
service, had nothing to do with terrorism and genocide.
On the other hand, on
June 10, 2010, Cuban journalist and director of the Mesa Redonda national television program Randy Alonso wrote an
article entitled El llamado Gobierno Mundial se reunió en Barcelona (The so-called world
government meets in Barcelona), published on the CubaDebate website. The article
states:
"They arrived at the pleasant Hotel
Dolce in cars with darkened windows or by helicopters.
"They were
more than 100 economic, financial, political and media
leaders from North America and
Like Alonso, other honest
writers were following the news that managed to leak out from the strange
encounter. Someone much more informed than they has been on the trail of these
events for many years.
"The exclusive
Club, which met in Sitges, was formed in 1954 after the idea of advisor and
political analyst Joseph Retinger. Its initial driving
forces were
"Their first
meeting was held at the Hotel Bilderberg in Osterbeck, Netherlands, May 29 and
30, 1954; hence the name of the group, which has since met annually with the
exception of 1976.
"There is a
core of permanent members who are the 39 members of the Steering Committee, the
rest are guests.
"[…] the
organization demands that nobody 'gives interviews,' nor reveals anything that
an individual participant has said. The essential requirement is an excellent command of
English [...]; there are no translators present.
"No one knows for sure the real
scope of the group. Specialists of the body say that it is
no accident that it always meets shortly before the G-8 (previously G-7) and that
it seeks a new world order with a single government,
military, economy and ideology.
"In a Newsweek magazine article, David Rockefeller
said, ‘Somebody has to take governments' place, and
business seems to me to be a logical entity to do it.’
"[…] banker James P. Warburg said, 'Like
it or not we shall have a world government. The only question
is whether it will be achieved by consent or by conquest.’
“‘’Ten months prior, they knew the exact date
of the invasion of Iraq, along with what was going to happen with the real
estate bubble. With information like that you can make a lot of money in all
types of markets. What we’re talking about are clubs of power and information.’
“According to analysts, one of the issues that most worries the Club is
the ‘economic threat’ represented by China and its repercussions on North
American and European societies.
“Some specialists have demonstrated the influence of the Club on the
elite with the fact that Margaret Thatcher, Bill Clinton, Tony Blair and Barack
Obama were all invited to the Club before being elected to the highest position
of government in
“Despite all this secrecy, the
press has revealed a few names here and there. Among those who attended the
meeting in Sitges were important businesspeople such as the presidents of Fiat,
“Financial and economic gurus also attended meetings such as the famous
speculator George Soros; economic advisors to Obama, Paul Volcker and Larry
Summers; the flamboyant British Secretary to the Treasury George Osborne; the
former president of Goldman Sachs and British Petroleum, Peter Shilton […];
World Bank President Robert Zoellic; IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn; Director General of the World Trade Organization Pascal
Lamy; the president of the European Central Bank, Jean Claude Trichet; the
president of the European Investment Bank, Philippe Maystadt.”
Have any of our readers heard about this? Has any major outlet of the
written or spoken media ever mentioned it? Is this the freedom of the press
that they talk about so much in the West? Can any of them deny that these
systematic meetings of the world’s most powerful financiers take place every
year with the exception of the one year previously mentioned?
“The military sent some of its hawks —Randy continues—: the former
Defense Secretary to Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and his deputy, Paul Wolfowitz; NATO
Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen and his predecessor Jaap de Hoop
Scheffer.”
“Digital technology magnate Bill Gates was the only participant who
spoke to the press before the meeting. ‘I’m one of those who will be present,’
he said and added that the meeting will feature several financial debates.
“News speculators reported that
the shadow powers analyzed the future of the Euro and strategies to save it,
the current state of the European economy, and the trajectory of the crisis.
They hoped to prolong the life of the patient using the religion of the
marketplace and drastic social cuts.
“The general coordinator of the United Left, Cayo Lara, clearly defined
the world that is imposed on us by the Bilderberg Club. ‘We are in an upside
down world where democracies are controlled, guided and pressured by the
dictatorships of the financial powers.’
“The most alarming piece of information revealed by the Spanish
newspaper Público is the
consensus by the members of the Club in favor of a
When added to all the evidence presented in recent Reflections, would it be whimsical to suggest that the war against
