De Bilderberg-conferentie in officile telexberichten van VS @thierryd Thierry Debels 20/4/13 Over de Bilderberg-conferenties wordt nog steeds erg geheimzinnig

gedaan. Volgens de enen gaat het om een jaarlijkse praatclub, anderen beweren dat er tijdens de conferenties belangrijke politieke beslissingen op wereldniveau worden voorbereid1. De Bilderberg-conferenties hebben ook een impact op en voor ons land. Zo nam kroonprins Filip minstens drie keer deel aan de conferentie2. Tijdens de research voor mijn boek over koning Boudewijn (Houtekiet/Editions Jourdan), kreeg ik toegang tot honderden telexberichten (cables) van de Verenigde Staten. In een aantal van die berichten werd de Bilderberg-conferentie vermeld. De telexen worden hieronder ongewijzigd weergegeven. Telex 1 (hieronder) van 20 juni 1973 gaat over de niet-deelname van Henry Kissinger aan de conferentie.

SWEDEN- AMERICAN FRIENDSHIP ASSOCIATIO N ( NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH OLDER SOCIETIES WITH SIMILAR NAMES) WAS FOUNDED TWO YEARS AGO IN AN ATTEMPT TO ATTRACT YOUNG PEOPLE TO A PRO- AMREICAN ORGAINZATION AS A COUNTER WEIGHTTO THE LARGE LEFTIST SWEDISH UNITED FNL GROUPS ( SEE STOCKHOLM 1150). 4. EMBASSY SAW EVIDENCE THAT CAMPAIGN LARSSON DESCRIBES WAS UNDERWAY IN LATE APRIL ( A LETTER TO PRESIDENT WAS FORWARDED ROUTINELY BY THE DEPARTMENT). WHILE WE ARE IN NO POSITION TO JUDGE THE IMPACT OF THE CAMPAIGN IN THE US, IT SEEMS OBVIOUS THAT LARSSON IS CONSIDERABLY EXAGGERATING ITS ACCOMPLISHMENTS. EPISODE CAN BE SEEN AS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF ATTEMPTS BY FORCES TO LEFT AND RIGHT TO DRAW ISSUE OF DETERIORATED US- SWEDISH RELATIONS INTO SWEDISH ELECTION CAMPAIGN.

I CALLED ON PRIME MINISTER PALME AT HIS OFFICE ON AUGUST 28 TO CONTINUE THE DIALOGUE I HAD BEGUN WITH HIM IN JUNE SHORTLY AFTER MY ARRIVAL (STOCKHOLM 2387). THE PRIME MINISTER GREETED ME WARMLY, AND THE ENSUING CON- VERSATION--WHICH LASTED MORE THAN AN HOUR-FLOWED IN AN AMICABLE SPIRIT. OUR CONVERSATION COVERED A WIDE RANGE OF TOPICS: A. CONTINUITY OF US POLICY. I TOLD THE PRIME MINISTER THAT I WELCOMED THE OPPORTUNITY OF OUR MEETING TO REITERATE THE CONTINUITY OF AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY UNDER PRESIDENT FORD, AS HAD EARLIER BEEN EXPLAINED TO THE GOS IN A NOTE FROM THE SECRETARY TO FOREIGN MINISTER ANDERSSON. THE PRIME MINISTER SAID HE WAS VERY MUCH GRATIFIED AT THIS CONFIDENTIAL CONFIDENTIAL PAGE 02 STATE 222932 REAFFIRMATION. I ALSO USED THE OCCASION TO GIVE THE

PRIME MINISTER THE TEST OF THE SECRETARY'S SPEECH TO THE AMERICAN LEGION IN MIAMI. HE GLANCED AT IT, REMARKING THAT HE HAD SEEN EXERPTS OF IT IN THE PARIS EDITION OF THE HEARLD TRIBUNE, AND WAS GRATEFUL TO HAVE THE COMPLETE SPEECH. B. ROCKEFELLER NOMINATION. MR. PALME COMMENTED THAT THE WAS PLEASED AT THE NOMINATION OF MR. ROCKEFELLER AS VICE PRESIDENT, OBSERVING THAT HE HAD MET NELSON ROCKEFELLER'S BROTHER DAVID AT THE BILDERBERG CONFERENCE AND, SOME YEARS AGO, HAD ENGAGED IN A TV DEBATE WITH HIM. THE PRIME MINISTER SEEMED MUCH IMPRESSED BY WHAT HE DESCRIBED AS THE "PUBLIC SPIRIT" OF THE ROCKEFELLER FAMILY AND ITS HIGHLY DEVELOPED SOCIAL CONSCIOUSNESS. C. PITEA SPEECH. CONTINUING, THE PRIME MINISTER REMARKED THAT AS A RESULT OF THE BAD WEATHER IN SWEDEN THIS SUMMER, HE HAD SPENT HIS VACATION WORKING ON THE SPEECH HE HAD DELIVERED IN PITEA AUGUST 4 (STOCKHOLM A-264). HE OBSERVED WRYLY THAT IT WAS NOT HIS BEST SPEECH BECAUSE HE HAD NOT SUFFICIENT TIME TO WORK ON THE CONCLUSION. HE SAID THAT THE SOVIET PRESS (NOVOJE VREMYA) HAD SEVERELY CRITICIZED THE SPEECH BECAUSE OF ITS ALLEGED CRITICISM OF SUPER POWER DOMINATION AND ESPOUSAL OF THE CHINESE POSITION ON THE DOMINANCE OF THE VESTED BUREAUCRACY IN THESOVIET UNION. WHILE THIS HAD ALSO CAUSED THE LOCAL COMMUNIST PARTY MUCH PAIN, MR. PALME CONTINUED, HE HAD TO STATE HIS VIEWS ON THIS SUBJECT BECAUSE OF HIS ALLEGIANCE TO SOCIALIST IDEOLOGY THAT REJECTS "ELITISM." (REFERRING TO THE PRC, THE PRIME MINISTER NOTED THAT PEKING'S POLICY HAS CHANGED, FOR IT NO LONGER ASSERTS THAT THE SOVIET UNION IS A THREAT TO CHINA BUT RATHER REPRESENTS A MORTAL DANGER TO THE SECURITY OF EUROPE.) D. CONSTRAINTS ON SMALL NATIONS. I TOLD THE PRIME MINISTER I HAD READ HIS PITEA SPEECH AND FOUND IT TO BE OF INTEREST AS A DOCTRINAL STATEMENT BUT THAT I COULD NOT SHARE HIS VIEWS ON THE EXISTENCE OF A SUPER POWER CONDOMINIUM AND ITS THREAT TO SMALL NATIONS. MR. PALME NOTED THAT HE HAD RECEIVED MUCH CRITICISM ON THIS CONFIDENTIAL CONFIDENTIAL PAGE 03 STATE 222932 POINT BUT ASSERTED THAT HE HAD NOT MEANT TO CNVEY THE IDEA THAT SMALL NATIONS WERE ALTOGETHER PREVENTED FROM CHANGING THE STATUS QUO BECAUSE OF SUPER POWER INTERVENTION; IN FACT, HE CONTINUED, UNDER THE DETENTE POLICY SMALL POWERS REALLY HAVE MORE LATITUDE TO CHANGE SITUATIONS UNFAVORABLE TO THEM BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE GREAT POWERS WILL INTERVENE AFTER A CERTAIN POINT TO SETTLE THE DISPUTE. THIS, HE SAID, IS WHAT SADAT DID--HE HAD LATITUDE TO ATTACK

ISRAEL BUT HE KNEW THAT WHEN THE FORTUNES OF WAR CHANGED THAT EGYPT WOULD BE SAVED FROM DEFEAT BY BIG POWER INTERVENTION. WITHIN CERTAIN MARGINS, HE ADDED, THE SMALL

NATIONS COULD OPERATE FREELY. E. THE "NEW" SOVIET STYLE. THE PRIME MINISTER COMMENTED THAT HE WAS CERTAIN THE SOVIET AMBASSADOR TO SWEDEN (YAKOVLEV) MUST HAVE BEEN UNHAPPY WITH HIS PEECH. HE SAID THAT YAKOVLEV HAD FORMERLY BEEN IN CHARGE OF THE TRAINING SCHOOL FOR SOVIET DIPLOMATS, AND THAT MUCH COULD BE LEARNED ABOUT THE NEW GENERATION OF SOVIET DIPLOMATS SIMPLY BY OBSERVING HIS (YAKOVLEV'S) STYLE. ACCORDING TO THE PRIME MINISTER, THIS NEW DIPLOMATIC STYLE IS CHARACTERIZED BY A MEASURE OF STOLIDITY, INCLUDING THE REPETITION OF THE SAME QUESTIONS TO OBTAIN A CLEAR STATE- MENT OF POLICY. (I CAN ATTEST TO THIS FROM MY OWN CON- VERSATIONS WITH AMBASSADOR YAKOVLEV.) F. VISIT OF FINNISH PRIME MINISTER. THE PRIME MINISTER HAD JUST BID ADIEU AN HOUR EARLIER TO FINNISH PRIME MINISTER KALEVI SORSA, WHO HAD BEEN ON AN OFFICIAL VISIT TO SWEDEN. HE SAID HE HAD A GOOD CONVERSATIONS WITH HIS "OLD FRIEND" SORSA, AND NOTED THAT FINNISHSWEDISH TRADE IS INCREASING TO THE POINT THAT IT IS ROUGHLY EQUAL TO THAT OF FINLND'S TRADE WITH THE SOVIET UNION. ACCORD- ING TO PALME, THE FINNS WANT CLOSER RELATIONS NOT ONLY WITH SWEDEN BUT WITH ALL NORDIC COUNTRIES, IN ORDER TO STRENGTHEN THEIR WESTERN TIES AND THUS BALANCE THEIR RELATIONS WITH MOSCOW. DURING SORSA'S VISIT, HE CONTINUED, A PROGRAM FOR JOINT VENTURES WAS AGREED UPON, INCLUDING AN INCREASE OF SWEDISH INVESTMENT IN FINLAND. PALME OB- SERVED THAT FINNISH POLITICS ARE EXTREMELY COMPLICATED BECAUSE OF THE FRAGMENTATION OF PARTIES, BUT SAID THAT CONFIDENTIAL CONFIDENTIAL PAGE 04 STATE 222932 SORSA HAD SUCCEEDED IN CREATING A CONSIDERABLE DEGREE OF INTERNAL STABILITY AS WELL AS GREATER BALANCE BETWEEN THE WEST AND THE USSR IN FINLAND'S RELATIONS. (COMMENT: THE PRIME MINISTER WAS OBVIOUSLY ATTRIBUTING THIS ACHIEVE- MENT TO HIS SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC COLLEAGUE, SORSA, RATHER THAN TO THE MAN USUALLY CREDITED WITH IT, PRESIDENT KEKKONEN.) G. STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES. THE PRIME MINISTER SAID HE IS WORKING ON WHAT HE TERMED " A STATEMENT OF PRICIPLES" WHICH WOULD BE USED AS GUIDELINES BY SWEDISH REPRESENTA- TIVES AT ALL INTERNATIONAL FORA. HE OBSERVED THAT SWEDISH DIPLOMATS AND OTHER REPRESENTATIVES SEEMED TO BE SPEAKING WITH TOO MANY VOICES; HENCE HE WISHED TO CODIFY SWEDISH POSITIONS SO THAT THEY WOULD BE IDENTICAL REGARDLESS OF

THE PARTICULAR FORUM. (I WISHED HIM LUCK ON THIS UNCERTAIN UNDERTAKING.) 2. COMMENT: THE PRIME MINISTER SEEMED IN EXCELLENT SPIRITS AND I THOUGHT HIS APPEARANCE HAD IMPROVED SINCE OUR PREVIOUS MEETING IN JUNE. HE APPEARED TO BE ENJOYING THE ATTENTION--MUCH OF IT CRITICAL--HIS RECENT SPEECHES ON FOREIGN POLICY HAD RECEIVED. I THINK IT IS INDICATIVE OF THE GOOD RELATIONSHIPS WE HAVE ESTABLISHED THAT ALTHOUGH THE PRIME MINISTER HAD BEEN BUSY WITH OFFICIAL GUEST SORSA, HE NEVERTHELESS AGREED TO MEET ME THE SAME DAY MY SECRETARY MADE THE REQUEST. 3.

HE REFERRED TO FACT THAT HARTMAN HAD (DURING WEEKEND AT BILDERBERG CONFERENCE IN CESME) BRIEFED FONMIN CAGLAYANGIL ON HIS TALKS WITH BITSIOS IN ATHENS. GUVENDIREN WAS INTERESTED IN KNOWING WHETHER GREEK GOVERNMENT WAS APPROACHING DIALOGUE WITH GENUINE DESIRE TO REACH AGREEMENTS ON OUTSTANDING ISSUES. EAGLETON REPLIED THAT THIS WAS OUR IMPRESSION BUT THAT GREEKS WERE SENSITIVE ABOUT A NUMBER OF ISSUES, PARTICULARLY THE AEGEAN ISLANDS, AND THAT PROBABLY THEY DO NOT WANT TOO MANY ITEMS ON THE AGENDA FOR A BITSIOS-CAGLAYANGIL MEETING. 2. IN RESPONSE TO SOME PROBING, GUVENDIREN REVEALED, IN STRICT CONFIDENCE, THAT ELEKDAG HAD GONE TO GENEVA THIS PAST WEEK BUT HAD NOT FOUND STAVROPOULOS THERE. THIS NONMEETING DID NOT GREATLY DISTRUB TURKISH GOVERNMENT SINCE CAGLAYANGIL HAD KEPT OTHER LINES OPEN TO GREEK GOVERNMENT. BITSIOS HAS NOW PROPOSED THAT TZOUNIS MEET WITH TEZEL TO PREPARE FOREIGN MINISTERS MEETING.

3. ULMAN THEN RECALLED THAT SECRETARY KISSINGER, WHEN FIRST DISCUSSING THIS VISIT WITH ECEVIT LAST MAY, HAD OBSERVED THAT TURKEY HAD NO ONE IN THE U.S. TO EXPLAIN ITS CASE, AND THAT ECEVIT COULD EXPLAIN THE TURKISH POSITION BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE. TO MAKE THE MOST OF THIS COMBINATION OF A UNIQUE RESORCE AND AN UNUSAUAL OPPORTUNITY, ULMAN SAID, ECEVIT MUST SEE "THE RIGHT PEOPLE WHO LEAD OPINION". ULMAN ASKED THAT THOSE MAKING ARRANGEMENTS KEEP THIS IN MIND. 4. AS REGARDS ECEVIT'S CONTACTS WITH ACADEMIC WORLD, ULMAN REQUESTED THAT DEPARTMENT GET IN TOUCH WITH DR. FRANK TACHAU AT CHICAGO AND ASK HIM TO ADVISE AND ASSIST AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE IN ARRANGEMENTS AND IN SPREADING WORD AMONG FELLOW INTELL- ECTUALS CONCERNED WITH THIS REGION.

ECEVIT HOPES VERY MUCH TO BE ABLE TO CALL ON SECRETARY. ULMAN MENTIONED THAT ECEVIT HAD MET DEFENSE SECRETARY RUMSFELD AT BILDERBERG CONFERENCE AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH HIM AGAIN. 6. WE OBSERVED THAT U.S. JOURNALISTS COULD BE EXPECTED TO SUBJECT ECEVIT TO DIFFICULT QUESTIONS, AND ULMAN SAID ECEVIT WAS PRE- PARED FOR THAT, HAVING BEEN A JOURNALIST HIMSELF. ULMAN SAID PRESS EXPOSURE WAS DESIRABLE, AND THAT ECEVIT WOULD RELY ON DEPARTMENT TO ARRANGE IT. 7. ULMAN NOTED THAT HE PERSONALLY HAD SOME DOUBTS ABOUT NEW YORK SEGMENT OF TRIP BECAUSE OF WHATHE CONSIDERED GREATER SECURITY PROBLEM IN NEWYORK,BUT THATHE ASSUMED DEPARTMENT HAD EVALUATED SECURITY PROBLEM AND THAT VISIT WAS "A CALCULATED RISK".

Uit de telexen leren we volgende elementen. De aanwezigheid van gezagsdragers wordt (voor het eerst?) officieel aangetoond op basis van telexberichten van de VS. De telexberichten tonen ook aan dat er tijdens de conferenties gesprekken zijn tussen wereldleiders. Die gesprekken gaan over prangende politieke problemen. Of het enkel een jaarlijkse praatbarak is of dat er tijdens de conferenties ook belangrijke politieke beslissingen op wereldniveau worden voorbereid, valt uit de berichten niet af te leiden. Maar misschien ligt de waarheid tussen beide in?
