The belief in secret cabals running the world is a hardy perennial. And on
Thursday perhaps the most controversial clandestine organisation of our times –
the Bilderberg Group – is meeting behind closed doors.In the manner of a James Bond plot, up to 150 leading politicians and
business people are to gather in a ski resort in Switzerland for four days of
discussion about the future of the world.Previous attendees of the group, which meets once a year in a five-star
hotel, are said to have included Bill Clinton, Prince Charles and Peter
Mandelson, as well as dozens of company CEOs.First meeting in 1954, the aim was to shore up US-European relations and
prevent another world war. Now under the group’s leadership of former US
Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and one-time EU vice president, Viscount
Davignon, the aim is purportedly to allow Western elites to share ideas.But conspiracy theorists have accused it of everything
from deliberately engineering the credit crunch to planning to kill 80% of the
world population. Longtime opponent and US radio host Alex Jones, heckled one
meeting through a megaphone: “We know you are ruthless. We know you are evil. We
respect your dark power.”Part of the reason for alarm is the group’s secretive working methods. Names
of attendees are not usually released before the conference, meetings are closed
to the public and the media, and no press releases are issued.Meaning of cabal
- The use of the world cabal to mean a “secret or private intrigue of a
sinister character formed by a small body of persons; ‘something less than
conspiracy'”, was first used in 1660- Thirty years earlier, it was first used to mean secret
- From “cabala” – Jewish mystical tradition

Nasty venomous BBC ‘opinion formers’. The best thing happens when people who start off laughing like the canned audience on that radio show, go all quiet when they realise the joke is on them.
LOL at the last minute of the audio. Like, “right that’s the piss-taking of conspiracy theorists over with, now on with telling you what the real conspirators did today.” How can Radio 4’s audience survive such cognitive dissonance?
