Dom en Dociel


"Laat die TV toch in godsnaam uit; ik heb het gevoel dat wij door ons naieve & infantiele 8 uur Journaal, Nova en Netwerk dom en dociel worden gehouden; het gaat bijna altijd over triviale issues zoals ‘de Wouter Bos Tapes’, ik zou zeggen; ‘trap onder de kont en kom nou eens met werkelijk nieuws, het is hoog tijd!’ Wie nog gelooft dat Bil Laden achter 9/11 zit, moet toch wel een randdebiel zijn!?"

Aldus een Zapruder-complotter die zich Papillon noemt. Papillon heeft namelijk iets veel beters: Dacht dat hij de enige Nederlander was die Eric Hufschmid kent! Of neem die geweldige Christopher Bollyn of Christopher Jon Bjerknes!

Zouden complotters nou nooit eens de achtergronden van dit soort leipe figuren natrekken? Eric Hufschmid is een holocaust-ontkenner, Christopher Bollyn een man met neonazi-sympathieën en Christopher Jon Bjerknes beweert dat Joden Hitler in het zadel hebben geholpen.

Complotters hebben sowieso een raar idee van nieuws. Naar aanleiding van het Zapruder gespam eerder deze week bij Nujij.nl trok P.uncia zich mopperend terug: Posten bij Nujij.nl was over, het werd toch niet gewaardeerd. "Nieuws, jeetje, dat is vermoeiend dan moet je nadenken, nee dan lekker klessebessen en met pijltjes spelen en elkaar vertellen hoe goed ze wel "niet" zijn."

Nieuws in kranten of op tv is geen nieuws, zo redeneren de complotters. Dat is copy-paste van ANP berichten (wat doen die redacties dan nog, vraag je je af). Nee, een beetje slimmerd haalt het echte nieuws van internet. Van obscure, slecht geschreven sites waar meningen niet van (halve) feiten zijn te onderscheiden zijn, waar slordige interpretaties op wonderbaarlijke wijze 'waarheid' worden (Marvin Bush hoofd beveiliging van het WTC) en citaten bijna per definitie uit hun context worden gelicht of gewoon verzonnen.

Complotters wanen zich dan ook echte muckrakers: "‘t is al erg genoeg dat wij hier alle aan amateur journalistiek moeten doen, omdat het journaille niet verder komt dat wat te hoereren met de gelddrugsoorlogmachtmaffia."

Maar als complotters het over nieuws hebben, dan bedoelen ze eigenlijk iets heel anders: namelijk een mening. Hun mening. Als een site George Bush tegen de schandpaal nagelt, dan is dat nieuws dat er toe doet. Als een site zegt dat 19 geitenhoeders nooit 747s in gebouwen hebben kunnen laten vliegen dan is dat de waarheid. Net als alles dat refereert aan de zogenaamde Nieuwe Wereldorde. Grappig is dat complotters de media wantrouwen, maar die wel gretig citeren als ze daarmee hun gelijk denken te kunnen aantonen.

Nieuws is dus niks anders dan de gekleurde bril van de verknipte complotter. Die dan in alle arrogantie ook nog eens denkt dat de halve mensheid het maar niet wil begrijpen: "Wij (...) stellen dat mensen dom zijn omdat de media hen niet informeert over bepaalde zaken. Als er dingen zijn aan 9/11 die stinken, waarom worden die dan niet nageplozen? Als er tegenwoordig al aandacht aan 9/11 wordt geschonken, dan wordt het verhaal van een conspiracy theorist ge-debunked in plaats van ingegaan op Building 7. Waarom?"

Omdat jullie helemaal niks uitpluizen, uilskuikens!

Lekkere dooddoener.

Ben je er dan al uit welke hypotheses onderzocht moeten worden? Wie dat onderzoek moet uitvoeren? Hoe je de onafhankelijkheid kan waarborgen? Wie bepaalt of het ook werkelijk onafhankelijk is uitgevoerd?

Of vind je dat soort dingen niet zo belangrijk en wil je gewoon "een onderzoek", zolang de resultaten maar datgene zijn wat je wil horen?

Voor een deel klopt dat, dus wat is daarmee je punt, wil je ontkennen dat dat gebeurd ? Is het je nooit opgevallen dat je hetzelfde bericht van persbureau's zoals het ANP of Reuters op talloze websites van kranten enzo terug kunt vinden ?

Misschien moet je zelf eens een cursus journalistiek volgen ?

Het feit dat de media geen enkele aandacht aan de Bilderberg conferentie besteed, zegt al genoeg.

Als onze glorieuze koningin ergens een lintje doorknipt, kun je dat in het 8-uur journaal terugvinden.

Als de elite en politici plus de absolute top in het bankwezen, oliemaatschappijen, media en industrie bij elkaar komen.....

Na tig jaar Bilderberg komt rtl boulevard langs, dat noemt men dan meteen de media die zijn werk goed doet.

Lachwekkend.

Willen jullie dus allemaal beweren dat het prima is dat alle bekende gezichten van de wereld lekker in het geheim dingen gaan bespreken? Iedereen die een beetje in democratie en transparatie gelooft hoort dit gewoon af te keuren.

Ik denk dat het beter is als achteraf er een samenvatting gegeven zou worden van wat daar besproken is, maar dat gelul over een wereldregering slaat nergens op. Daarvoor is de samenstelling van de gegadigden net iets te divers en ook tamelijk incompleet.

BODY:


BLACKADDER star Tony Robinson has a cunning plan for Tony Blair if he struggles to find work when he leaves Downing Street next month. The Labour-supporting actor, who played Baldrick in the TV comedy, is willing to offer the PM a job on his one-man theatre show.

"I disagree with Blair on major issues and have argued to his face about Iraq, " says Robinson.

"But he is a very charming bloke and would be a good warm-up man for me."

SCOTS smoothie Alistair Darling insists that nature, and not the stylist's bottle, is responsible for his startling combination of white hair and black eyebrows.

Darling, widely touted as the next Chancellor of the Exchequer, is one of several New Labour MPs whose career prospered after shaving off his beard. But it seems the curious eyebrows are here to stay. "I've always been able to see beyond them, " he says. "And I'm sure others can, too."

FURTHER signs that the Tories are on the way back arrived in the post this week - in the shape of an invite for Shadow Chancellor George Osborne to attend the annual Bilderberg conference this summer. The secretive Bilderberg group is said by some to run the world through a global network of top people. George, who has not yet run anything, will be hoping for a few tips.

GORDON BROWN spent a pleasant afternoon with the literati yesterday launching his book on "courage" at the Hay-on-Wye literary festival. He is said to have another book on "unsung heroes" in the pipeline - leaving some to wonder where he finds the time. The latest tax credits figures, which reveal another GBP 2billion of waste in the Chancellor's flagship scheme, may provide a clue.

HEADLINE: 'HIGH PRIESTS OF GLOBALIZATION' IN ISTANBUL

BODY:


Some call it "the multinational government", some call it the "elite club which shapes world policies" while others say it essentially "fixes" the world's fate. It literally breeds conspiracy theories all around the world with its secrecy, while participants say it is only a private gathering that should be respected.

Whatever it is, the mighty Bilderberg is at our door: The "high priests of globalization," as Will Hutton from The Observer once famously put it, begin their ultra-secretive annual meeting today in Istanbul. While the international media's silence gives rise to yet more conspiracy theories, the Turkish media is going nuts about it: from mass-circulation dailies to well-known weeklies, the media is Bilderberg-busy nowadays. Daily Vatan calls it "the most secretive meeting in the world," announcing: "Bilderberg in Istanbul." Weekly Aktuel says the "multinational government" is here to determine the fate of the world. It seems the hype will continue until the "high priests" end their Istanbul meeting on Sunday.

For those who have not heard about it yet, the Bilderberg Group is an "unofficial annual invitation-only conference of around 130 guests" (Wikipedia), influential, powerful figures from the realms of economy, media and politics. The name comes from their first meeting in 1954, which was held in the Hotel de Bilderberg in Oosterbeek, Netherlands. As the date signals, Bilderberg is a creation of the Cold War. The idea came from Joseph Retinger, who was concerned about the growth of anti-Americanism in Western Europe at the time. So, Bilderberg, just like other organizations like NATO, aimed at strengthening the "unity of the West" against the "communist threat."

With the collapse of the Warsaw Pact, the group focused on enhancing the American-led globalization. But then, the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in New York and Washington practically resulted in another focus, which one might call the relation between "civilizations."

Thus, after the first gathering in Istanbul (1959) and the second one in Izmir (1975), a third gathering in Turkey, widely regarded as a "bridge" between the East and the West, seems appropriate.

People that run the world:

If one aspect of Bilderberg that irks many is its secrecy, another one is the identity of its participants. Looking at the list of regular "Bilderbergers," one cannot but think that these are really "the people that run the world". Veterans like Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski are joined every year by newcomers such as former U.S. President Bill Clinton, soon-to-be-former-PM Tony Blair, NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, former Pentagon adviser Richard Perle and countless others. Every year, the list also includes important "media people" from influential outlets such as The Financial Times, Washington Post, The Economist, The Times, Le Figaro and Die Zeit. The picture becomes complete with CEOs from the world's biggest companies such as Coca-Cola, Fiat, Suez-Tractebel, Royal Dutch Shell and British Petroleum.

With such a mixture, conspiracy theories abound; the most famous one being the "invisible hand" theory. According to some, those who are lucky enough to attend the meetings and get a blessing from the "inner circle" witness breath-taking career leaps. An "obscure governor" from Arkansas, one year after attending the Bilderberg meeting in 1991, became the President of the United States, while Tony Blair of Britain was elected prime minister three years after his attendance in 1993. But why did Margaret Thatcher, a regular Bilderberger, lose her job as Prime Minister in 1990? The theory says that she lost the support of Bilderberg because she did not accept the transfer of British sovereignty to a "European Super State." Of course, John Major, who took the job as Prime Minister after Thatcher, was also a Bilderberger.

One may choose to believe or not, but the secrecy of the meetings no cell phones, no getting out of the hotel during three days, no notes, no interviews creates fertile ground for conspiracy theories. When senior representatives of media giants such as the FT, the Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post attend the meetings every year and next to nothing is printed in the same papers about Bilderberg, one starts to wonder.

Dedicated journalists:

There are a few journalists who are dedicated to unveil the secret of the Bilderberg, though. People such as James P. Tucker, Daniel Estulin and Tony Gosling. The first two are in Istanbul, tracking down the participants, while Gosling, a Briton who runs the Web site www.bilderberg.org, could not come to the show. His Web site gets about three million hits a month, Gosling says, and attributes this great interest to the fact that "investigative journalism is pretty much dead" elsewhere. The Bilderberg is very powerful, especially financially, he told the Turkish Daily News over the phone: "So, if they come to a decision, it is effective."

Gosling has covered the last 10 meetings, and he thinks the gathering in Istanbul is of high importance. "There is a lot of tension on the Iran-Turkey border at the moment. Iraq is also right next door. This is an area of interest for Bilderberg," he said. "[The Bilderbergers] are worried that Islamic sentiment in Turkey is not in favor of an invasion of Iran. They are here to attempt to persuade the Turkish elite and bring them on board with the neocon plan for the Middle East."

But why the secrecy? Gosling posed the same question to David Rockefeller back in 2003. "He shrugged and said it was just a private meeting," he continues. "But the world does not buy this argument. There are politicians there and they are not private people. They are people who should be held accountable."

Gosling's claim, that the main topic of Bilderberg 2007 is Iran, is a widely held opinion. Other topics are energy policies and Turkey's bid for European Union membership, according to the daily Vatan. The paper is optimistic about the last item; it says the Istanbul meeting is a signal that the EU has "inched open the door" to Turkey, basing this claim on unnamed "Bilderberg sources."

A veteran of Bilderberg:

With four separate attendances in Atlanta, Ottawa, Stockholm and Lisbon, Turkey's former Central Bank governor, Gazi Ercel, is the most informed source one can find. "There are many international meetings such as Bilderberg, which have strict rules," he said to the TDN. As to the reason of the secrecy, he says it is a precaution to ensure that everyone talks sincerely on the topics, without the concern of being quoted.

The conspiracy theories stem from ignorance about the meetings, Ercel said, quoting Confucius: "Those who produce ideas without the knowledge are harmful. As they do not know what Bilderberg is, they believe in superstitions."

Ercel also got his share of mention in the conspiracy theories, as some accused him of "planning the 2001 financial crisis" at one of the meetings. "These are defective claims," he said. "Bilderberg is a high-level meeting. Everyone talks freely and very striking debates take place."

Over the years Bilderberg meetings had important Turkish participants. Among them are Suleyman Demirel, the former president; Gazi Ercel, former Central Bank chief; Mesut Yilmaz, former Prime Minister; Selahattin Beyazit, a businessman and a "constant participant"; Mustafa Koc, the CEO of Koc Holding; former ministers Ismail Cem, Hikmet Cetin and Kemal Dervis and also some well-known journalists. Among them, Fehmi Koru from the conservative daily Yeni Safak stands out, because until last year, he had written numerous critical columns on Bilderberg. Last year, things changed and he was also invited to the meetings. Afterwards, he wrote a six-day series on Bilderberg, telling much about the environment and the participants, but certainly not much on what was discussed. Koru is invited for a second time this year, but the "jump" in his career is yet to be seen!

As the Bilderbergers gather, probably giggling among themselves about the conspiracy theories abounding, it would be appropriate to quote Alasdair Spark, an expert in conspiracy theories, who had spoken to the BBC back in June 2004: "Should not we expect that the rich and the powerful organize things in their own interests? It is called capitalism!"

En over die affaire met Bollyn die nu speelt: "Authorities said Bollyn was arrested after he pointed his finger in the face of one of the officers and turned to go inside his house, telling them that he was "going to get my reinforcements." Police said at the time that officers handcuffed Bollyn and used a stun gun to subdue him because they feared he was going to get a weapon."
