Bilderberg 2010 - a plan to spread the word and get involved here.....
So, last year, Comedian / Blogger / Journalist Charlie Skelton did a blog for the Guardian newspaper about Bilderberg. It was just about the only MSM coverage. It stated out as a fun piece but soon turned serious when Charlie was followed and harrassed by Bilderberg type thugs. You can read it all here:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/seri...lderberg-files
So to come to the point, Charlie emailed me a few days ago. I have reproduced it below and hope people will try and do their bit to promote Bilderberg and maybe some of you can even make to Spain?

Dear Dan, Apologies for not getting back to you sooner - I had lots of emails and then moved to Portugal, found myself without an internet connection and promptly forgot about all things Bilderberg. However it's that time of year again which is why I'm writing to ask if you are still interested in getting involved?
If so, I just thought I'd let you know (in case you didn't already) that Bilderberg is happening this year, to the best of our knowledge, in the Spanish seaside resort of Sitges, just south of Barcelona, on June 3-6.

Here's the venue:
http://www.dolce-sitges-hotel.com/
It's in the exclusive gated enclave of Can Girona
Sitges seems nice. It has 17 beaches and 3 museums, according to Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitges
We'll be camping nearby the conference venue, hoping to raise awareness & waving at the delegates as they whizz by and we'll be flipping (bilder)burgers and generally having a nice time (we hope). Below is an agenda a few of us have put together, please feel free to add to it. All suggestions gratefully received!
Any questions, tips, travel plans, friends in Spain, long lens cameras you have in your garage - anything at all that might help, or anything we can do to help - please do get in touch. I'd love to hear from you.
I have put a facebook page up for those wishing to come along called Bilderberg 2010: A Spanish Idyll.
There are other facebook groups to join too: Against Bilderberg in Sitges; and Let’s Storm Bilderberg 2010.
Hope to see you in June!
Charlie
Practicalities...
Where we shall be staying
We shall be based at El Garrofer campsite and bungalow park, and urge people to do likewise, as it is much nearer the Dolce Sitges than any other hotel in the area. It has a bar, restaurant, electricity outlets, swimming pool and wifi. It's also very cheap to camp there, or you can rent a bungalow or bring a caravan or mobile home. The management assures us that there is always space to camp and you don't even need to book (but you probably will need to book for a bungalow...). The meeting is from June 2nd to June 3rd and we shall be at the campsite from June 1st until June 7th (on June 7th we fully intend to be lying on the beach).

A list of things you could consider bringing:
cameras, video-equipment, wifi cameras, camera phones with internet access or laptops with dongles to upload images and send them immediately so they will be safe
suncream, sun-umbrellas, gazebos and tarps (they'll be a lot of hanging around in the hot sun)
deckchairs
music/musical instruments/balloons (to raise morale)
nice food, drink, portable bbqs for our Bilderburgers
placards/banners with suitable sentiments or placard-making equipment
cool boxes for soft drinks/beers/cava
calor gas and tea-making equipment
your skills - healing, entertaining, guitar playing, listening, cooking, sketching, tea-making, smiling, the list is endless..
Wish List
Photographers
Journalists
Filmmakers
Bloggers - do you know people who would publish our photos / reports?
PR people
Local knowledge and contacts.
Local press contacts
Legal expertise/knowledge - do you know any lawyers in the area? Are you one yourself?
Hula-hoopers

The 2010 Bilderberg fringe festival and mirror meeting - - please forward to anyone you think might be interested in coming along, or has any of the skills/contacts on our wishlist...
Our aims:
First, to shine the light of publicity onto the fact that our elected officials are forging global policy - in armed seclusion - at this annual private meeting with business leaders, European royalty and bankers.
We can do this by: contributing to blogs; organising stunts and PR-able 'happenings'; taking daring and newsworthy pap pictures of any attendees; recording our experiences when harassed by local police or private security and even just informing local residents & press about the private meeting taking place amongst them. We will also set up an unofficial press office handing out lanyards and info-packs during the duration of the meeting.
Second, to establish the Bilderberg 'mirror meeting' where we ourselves meet and network, make friends and forge global policy - our own! They have a forum in which to do it, so why shouldn't we? The only difference is that our meeting is open, transparent, and has fewer terrified bar staff trying not to spill a drink on David Rockefeller. Let's grapple with the issues and think of some solutions..
The third aim is simply to have fun. To create a lighthearted 'festival' atmosphere at base-camp. We need to support and nurture those citizen journalists who may get arrested for taking pictures and those of us who wish to peacefully bear witness to the happening or wave cheerfully at the delegates along the limo route. If a pioneering citizen journalist is followed by secret police, or is arrested for daring to take a picture of a helicopter landing on the Sitges golf course in the middle of the night, then they need to be supported, cheered and handed a glass of wine the moment they come back to base-camp. Just as the Bilderbergers will no doubt be mixing business with pleasure and nice food, so too will we! We need to express ourselves through art, music, hula-hooping, haircuts,, Reiki and the eating of (Bilder)burgers and drinking of Spanish wine and many cups of tea. There will also be poetry meetings in the day where we will read and write short verses inspired by our surroundings and experiences during the BB fringe festival.
If you feel that you would like to attend, yet don't feel up to outstaring the police at the frontline or peering over hotel walls, you will be hugely welcome at base-camp. Your supporting role is just as, if not more, important! Plus, you will be there for the ongoing Bilderberg mirror meetings which are just as important as the meetings going on beyond the golf course in the Dolce Sitges... Well, sort of.
If you cannot make it to Sitges then blog away frenetically at home, send round Bilderberg links to friends and call/email the BBC and other news outlets asking them to cover the meeting - all of this is massively important too and means that the brilliant work people are doing on the front-line will get the wider audience it needs.
Agent Provocateurs...
Although the aim is to have fun, there is one very serious point we have to make. We are aware of a move in the US (in particular) to infiltrate alternative forums and activist groups in order to create dissension and neutralise their impact and discredit their agenda. It's safe to assume that this could be the case in Europe. So, to limit the damage such a strategy might have upon us, we will take these precautions:
1. Anyone who suggests or initiates any violent strategy will automatically assumed to be an Agent Provocateur and will be immediately filmed by all present and then asked to leave.
2. Anyone who is belligerent, argumentative, divisive or dishonest will also be assumed to be someone wishing to sabotage our peaceful endeavour for nefarious reasons, and will be asked to leave.
3. We will instantly move away from anyone protesting in an aggressive or violent fashion.
We can't stress enough that this is a *peaceful* endeavour and we wish to spread peaceful, joyous vibes. We are not going to Sitges to fight, but to shine light upon the darkness, and we will need humour, positive energy and good sense to do it. Secrecy comes from fear, so our base-camp must be predicated on the opposite of fear. We must be smiling, non-argumentative and ever-tolerant when faced with the local police or private security, or harassed by undercover officers. Also, it could be an idea to dress a bit smartly if possible as it does make a difference when determining how one is treated by the police. It shouldn't, but it does.
(For those who wish there will also be an opportunity to send love every morning in a Metta meditation before we set off to take pictures. We will send love to every human in the world and even try to narrow it down and send it to the privacy-loving control-freaks plotting and planning in the Dolce Sitges - we'll also send a healthy dose of love to the Spanish secret police who presumably will be watching us from behind a pine tree.)
Prizes
Best photo/footage wins the 'Salt the Slug' cup for 2010 and a free meal for two at the best restaurant in Sitges
Best attempt to send love to Henry Kissinger wins a non-alcoholic cocktail of their choice.
Best poem wins the adulation of your peers.
