Getting away with murder, part 4.
The Militarised Industrial Complex and its crimes against humanity.
PART FOUR: The secretive groups that control the world
Welcome to the fourth and final part of Getting away with murder. The Militarised Industrial Complex and its crimes against humanity.
In part one I showed how, under pressure from the US government, Western governments are ignoring the warnings of every major aid agency, as well as the unequivocal evidence of crimes against humanity in refusing to call the situation in Gaza a genocide.
Part two detailed the involvement of the US and Israeli governments in supporting South Africa’s apartheid regime and in part three I exposed the controlling role played by the world's wealthiest corporations in funding and weaponising global conflict ranging from WW2 to the ongoing conflict in the middle east. In my article, ‘Too implausible to be fiction’, I provided verified evidence to show how BlackRock funded the modernisation of the Russian military prior to the invasion of Ukraine, armed Ukraine sufficiently to prolong the war and have now received the contract to rebuild the country, once ‘peace’ is achieved.
When you forget about the side show of politics and focus on the facts I have presented, there can be no doubt that, using the Military Industrial Complex as their instrumentum regni, the global elite have displayed an almost inhumane willingness to trade human lives for power.
In part 4 I look at 2 of the secretive, billionaire riddled, non elected organisations and their influence in ensuring the plans of the global elite carry on smoothly. Regardless of the brutality of the regimes they prop up.
Many of you will have heard of the Bilderberg group. A google search will, predictably, focus on the way in which conspiracy theorists try to portray them as a malevolent organisation.
This excerpt from their own home page describes how they wish to be portrayed;
“Since its inaugural Meeting in 1954, the annual Bilderberg Meeting has been a forum for informal discussions to foster dialogue between Europe and North America. Every year, approx. 130 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, labour, academia and the media are invited to take part in the Meeting. About two thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from North America; one third from politics and government and the rest from other fields. The Meeting is a forum for informal discussions about major issues. The Meetings are held under the Chatham House Rule, which states that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s) nor of any other participant may be revealed. Thanks to the private nature of the Meeting, the participants take part as individuals rather than in any official capacity, and hence are not bound by the conventions of their office or by pre-agreed positions. As such, they can take time to listen, reflect and gather insights. There is no detailed agenda, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken, and no policy statements are issued”.
Let's look a little closer at that seemingly benign self introduction.
-one third from politics and government and the rest from other fields.
The ‘rest’ are the wealthiest and most high ranking members of global capitalism. CEOs of the biggest banks on Earth. Military generals and heads of NATO. Billionaire IT, and nowadays AI corporate giants. Directors of all trans global institutions such as the EU, the UN, NATO etc.
-but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s) nor of any other participant may be revealed
Don't let the public, parliaments or lawmakers know who’s lobbying on their own behalf.
-Thanks to the private nature of the Meeting, the participants take part as individuals rather than in any official capacity, and hence are not bound by the conventions of their office or by pre-agreed positions
Democratically elected officials and businessmen have to abide by the law. As private members we don't have to admit a damn thing.
-There is no detailed agenda, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken, and no policy statements are issued.
By keeping everything informal we can't be accused of shaping global policy. We’re just ‘having a chat’ to discuss global capitalism.
In 1992, the then Toronto based, Lithuanian born journalist and ex intelligence officer Daniel Estulin met with a member of the KGB who told him that the Bilderberg group was orchestrating a referendum to divide Canada into French and English speaking sections. The reason given was that certain business leaders needed to balance their books.
Estulin recounts that when the referendum of 1995 was announced and a sudden surge of previously unknown politicians became the driving force for separation, he realised that elected leaders were not the decision makers.
The idea of society’s elite forming secret groups in order to ensure they retain power and influence, regardless of who a nation’s official leaders are, is not new.
Although founded centuries earlier, in 1929 The Venetian Black Nobility were given dual citizenship of Italy and the Vatican and members were appointed to non-elected roles from where they sought to maintain the influence of their families, backed by the patronage of the Papal authority. Astonishingly these black nobility held onto their positions until its abolishment in 1968. Of course by then the new secret order, The BIlderberg group was already up and running and many of its founding members could trace their lineage back to the royal families of Europe.
Interestingly, just as royal blood does not and has never been a guarantee of the character of an individual, membership of the newly founded Bilderberg group did not require an evaluation of its members own character.
This shouldn't come as a surprise, its founder, Dutch royal consort, Prince Bernhard had been a card carrying member of the Nazi party!
Nonetheless, the Bilderberg group was seen as highly beneficial to members of the old European royal houses, all of whom were seeing their relevance and therefore influence being challenged by the ongoing wave of anti establishment sentiment that had emerged in Europe early in the 1900s.
I mentioned that many high ranking members of society have been members of the
Bilderberg group, some are part of the core membership and each year they invite around 100 people to attend their highly secretive meetings.
Prince Phillip of the UK was an attendee and in 2024, the following members of the corporate, global elite attended the group’s meeting in Madrid. This is not the full list, I am merely highlighting a few individuals, corporations and NGOs many of you will recognise, to underline the vast influence the group has.

You may have noticed that there are no representatives from humanitarian agencies invited?
And why would there be?
Why would a group whose key aim is to maintain the hold of the western, global elite over world affairs invite anyone who may suggest that perhaps the best interests of the Human race were more important than corporate balance sheets!
You will have noticed a few journalists on the list. You will also notice that they never write about the meetings they attend. This is because a key stipulation of attendance is that you don't publicise what was discussed. Just like fight club, the first rule of the Bilderberg group is total secrecy.
Isn't that odd if all they are really doing is trying to maintain global peace and well being and isn't it counterintuitive to suggest that the views and goals of the attendant politicians are the same as they publicly state? If not, the need for secrecy becomes obsolete.
What the attendance of journalists ensures is that anyone who criticises Bilderberg is immediately portrayed as a conspiracy theorist, heretic, witch or threat to national security. Depending on which network you get your news from.
If it wasn't for conspiracy theorists, humanity would still believe the Earth to be the centre of the solar system, Nixon would never have been impeached and Messrs Bush and Blair wouldn't have been exposed as liars!
Hashtag Weapons of Mass Destruction!
Remember those unknown Canadian politicians? AS Nigel Farage once famously asked of senior leaders of the EU, ‘who are you?’, ‘where did you come from?.
The answer is simple. Many senior members of the early EU had previously been invited to BIlderberg meetings. The group excels at identifying potential puppets. Key attributes no doubt being ambition, thirst for power and ‘swayability’.
Has there ever been a more corruptible combination of personality traits?
Now, admittedly there is very little absolutely verified proof of the group deliberately manipulating global events in order to benefit their common interest; global capitalism.
This is the reason for absolute secrecy. When was the last time something kept secret from you turned out to be in your best interests?
What there is though, is analysis of the events.
Let's take the oil crisis of the 1970s. In October 1973 OPEC member countries announced an embargo on countries who had supported Israel in the Yom Kippur war. The result was that the price of crude oil rose by 400%.
On the surface this appeared to increase the flow of dollars into the economy of OPEC members.
Where did that money go? Straight into the financial markets of Wall street and London!
Were not talking a few million dollars here either, the major banks and financial institutions, owned by the global elite, many of whom were Bilderberg members and attendees, used the ‘oil shock to establish permanent control over the world's credit management system.
As of 2022 global debt stood at £305 tn. The debt is owned by global banking empires, the World bank, IMF and institutional investors like Black Rock, Vanguard, State Street and Berkshire Hathaway. All of which are regularly represented at Bilderberg meetings.
Oh and by the way, the main topic of conversation at the Bilderberg meeting of May 1973? The oil shock. What better place to manufacture billions of dollars of debt, controlled by the key attendees, 6 months before OPEC’s announcement.
Apart from financial wealth, controlling global debt increases influence. Nation states become beholden to banks and corporations, to the Military Industrial Complex (MIC), an entity I have researched and written about extensively.
A modern day example of this is the fact that the UK government is currently in the process of assuring loans totalling £72 tn from BlackRock and co. Who in their right mind believes a loan of that size can ever be repaid?
Few will argue that the MIC, whose members hold key positions within Bilderberg, have a decades old hold over the US. Naturally Europe was the next target, how could the Bilderberg group take the same stranglehold on the economies of European countries.
The answer lay in the federal model of states as seen in the US. The vehicle to achieve this single entity economy was the EU and its long history of economic crises, each of which creates an opportunity to strengthen the hold of the global elite, the term they use is beneficial crises.
Take the Greek financial crisis. hen the Greek PM offered his countrymen a referendum and was quickly replaced by ex Goldman Sachs director Stefanos Kasselakis !
The asylum crisis is another classic example of beneficial opportunity. How many personal freedom restricting laws have been passed in response to ‘threats to national security’?
The one guaranteed consequence of perpetual war is more and more migrants.
Dealing with numerous individual nation states is tricky. It's far easier to deal with a single president of the EU. Especially when they are attendees of Bilderberg meetings.
It is perhaps no surprise that the US was chosen as the preferred model, the CIA provided the bulk of the funds to establish the Bilderberg group.
When you see the world as a business, managed by a board of directors, you begin to see the true picture. Massive global corporations are not democracies, money talks.
A classic example of beneficial crises is the banking bailout of 2008. $800bn of unpayable debt funding was transferred from banks to the US government. $245bn of this was taxpayer money.
The 1968 meeting of the Bilderberg group focused specifically on the reorganisation of the world into a corporate structure, a key target being the elimination of the nation state. The key speaker at this event was George Ball, former banker and US under secretary of state.
On April the 27th, 1962 President John F Kennedy, in a speech of the American Newspapers Publishers Association spoke of the world's intrinsic fear of and opposition to secret societies.
The following year he was assassinated.
When you look at how the elite used their banking empires to take control of agriculture, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and services, you get the first glimpse of their end game.
We live on a planet of limited resources. There is plenty of space , though desalination there is plenty of water. New technologies mean we could have plenty of food.
All of these solutions would cost billions though, far easier to reduce the population.
For the elite to survive, most of us have to die.
The destruction of manufacturing, the poisoning of our food and the gradual process of ensuring half of western civilisation is medicated on a daily basis has ensured a state of zero growth. Fertility is falling, the world is getting older.
Of course there is always the concept of perpetual war to ensure we don't hang around too long.
One of the key entities used to direct and stage manage global conflicts is the Christian Fellowship Association, also known as The Family. A highly influential group of Evangelical christian men who meet for Bible study and prayer meetings. Their motto is Jesus plus nothing.
Now many of you will have heard of the family via the Netflix drama of the same name. The numerous extra marital affairs and sex scandals of members have been well publicised. Luckily the family believe in the ‘instant forgiveness’ of Jesus. Seemingly they have taken it upon themselves to provide the same instant absolution when its members decide that they prefer ‘Jesus plus drugs, prostitutes and booze’!
In spite of their own vow of secrecy, The Family’s influence on world affairs is well known.
The Fellowship was a behind-the-scenes player at the Camp David Accords in 1978, working with President Jimmy Carter to issue a worldwide call to prayer with Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian president Anwar Sadat.
The Fellowship has funded the travel expenses of members of Congress to various hot spots throughout the globe, an example being Robert Aderholt to Darfur. In 2002, Frank Wolf, Tony P. Hall and Joe Pitts travelled to Afghanistan and Pakistan on a fact-finding congressional trip, meeting with the leaders of both Muslim countries. According to Pitts, "The first thing we did when we met with [Afghan] President Karzai and [then Pakistan] President Musharraf was to say, 'We're here officially representing the Congress; we'll report back to the speaker, our leaders, our committees, our government. But we're here also because we're best friends... We're members of the same prayer group'".
The group's willingness to turn a blind eye to marital transgressions takes a far more sinister twist when you consider that The Fellowship has brought controversial international figures to Washington to meet with U.S. officials. Among them are former Salvadoran Gen. Carlos Eugenio Vides Casanova, who in 2002 was found liable by a civil jury in Florida for the torture of thousands of civilians in the 1980s. He was invited to the 1984 prayer breakfast, along with Gen. Gustavo Alvarez Martinez, then head of the Honduran armed forces who was linked to a death squad and the Central Intelligence Agency.
In a November 2009 NPR interview, investigative Journalist and former intern at the Family, Jeff Sharlet alleged that Ugandan Fellowship associates David Bahati and Nsaba Buturo were behind the recent proposed bill in Uganda that called for the death penalty for gays. Bahati cited a conversation with Fellowship members in 2008 as having inspired the legislation.
When asked about his relationship with controversial, often brutal dictators, head of the family, evangelist Doug Coe was quoted as saying; "I never invite them. They come to me. And I do what Jesus did: I don't turn my back to any one. You know, the Bible is full of mass murderers." !
Sharlet has criticised the fellowship's influence on US foreign policy. He argues that Coe and the "networking" (or formation of prayer cells) between foreign dictators and US politicians, defence contractors, and industry leaders facilitated military aid for repressive foreign regimes.
Clearly, the Family is open about the fact that moral fibre and rule of law plays no part in their relationships with world leaders. What is important to them is quite simply, advancement of influence. How many thousands if not millions of innocent people have been killed as a result of this so-called Christian group’s green lighting of brutal regimes?
During his time as a live in intern with the Family Jeff Sharlet told NBC news that "we were being taught the leadership lessons of Hitler, Lenin and Mao" and that Hitler's genocide "wasn't really an issue for them, it was the strength that he emulated."He stated that the Fellowship fetishises power by comparing Jesus to "Lenin, Ho Chi Minh, Bin Laden" as examples of leaders who changed the world through the strength of the covenants they had forged with their 'brothers' !
Not that the groups leaders shy away from openly praising dictators and mass murderers,
In one videotaped lecture series in 1989, Doug Coe said;
“Hitler, Goebbels and Himmler were three men. Think of the immense power these three men had... But they bound themselves together in an agreement... Jesus said, 'You have to put me before other people. And you have to put me before yourself.' Hitler, that was the demand to be in the Nazi party. You have to put the Nazi party and its objectives ahead of your own life and ahead of other people”.
In the same series Coe also compared Jesus's teachings to the Red Guard during the Chinese Cultural Revolution:
“I've seen pictures of young men in the Red Guard of China... They would bring in this young man's mother and father, lay her on the table with a basket on the end, he would take an axe and cut her head off... They have to put the purposes of the Red Guard ahead of the mother-father-brother-sister — their own life! That was a covenant. A pledge. That was what Jesus said”
It should, by now, be obvious. When the most influential, powerful, secretive group of billionaires and their lackeys openly admire history’s most brutal dictators, promote policies that will result in the persecution and murder of people they see as ‘The Other’ and give the go-ahead and funding for regional conflicts, they are NOT on the side of humanity.
Don't be surprised! Remember, for the elite to survive, most of us have to die.
