“Bill Clinton was introduced to the political big league at Bilderberg 1991. The man who introduced him was Vernon Jordan, a lawyer, civil rights activist and currently board member of Lazard investment bank. Speaking last year about the occasion, Jordan recalls:

“In 1991, I took Bill Clinton to the Bilderberg meetings in Baden Baden, Germany. Bilderberg meetings have been going on since 1954, sort of the North-American / European Alliance. …”

Skelton quotes Kenneth Clarke (Bilderberg attendee) as calling eurosceptics “right-wing nationalists” and “cranky extremists”, and he condemns the idea of Greece leaving the EU:

“It’s going to take a crisis, an absolute crisis, to make Europe’s leaders act.”

The article mentions how the Economist – also represented at Bilderberg since the mainstream media serves Bilderberg – says everyone needs to lose their sovereignty:

“A consensus is slowly emerging that, whether a Greek exit is to be averted or weathered, there will have to be a greater level of integration in the euro zone, with tighter constraints on the freedom of national governments.
