Bildeberg Conspiracy Has Anti-Semitic Origins

When I was very interested in conspiracy theories, there was one that I could never avoid running into. That is the Bilderberg Group conspiracy. If you are not aware, let me break it down in simple terms. Like Sophia from the Golden Girls would say, picture it, Holland, 1954... a hundred or so wealthy businessmen, including Prince Bernhardt of The Netherlands meet in the Hotel de Bildeberg in Oosterbeek Netherlands. And basically they say, "Hey, instead of these stupid elections, why don't WE pick the guys. They get all the blame and we run things from behind the scenes." That is, if you believe this conspiracy theory. Surprisingly, it's even been picked up by some well known television networks, such as the BBC, Russia Today and CNN International. But here's the dark secret the TV networks or these conspiracy theorists won't tell you, and that's that the person who started this conspiracy theory is a man named Westbrook Pegler. In the 1940's Pegler was one of America's most respected journalists, even winning a Pulitzer Prize. But by 1956, he had become a bitter, increasingly hate-filled anti-Semite. The readership of his column had shrunk tremendously by this time, and he had been grasping at straws. Until he ran an article which he called "The Puppet Masters". On a recent trip to Italy, he had come across a source which told him that a group of wealthy Zionist Jews calling themselves the Bilderberg Group, were plotting to take over the world for Israel.

In recent years, this conspiracy still survives in a sanitized form. Instead of the Rothschilds and the Jews, it's Bernhardt, the Rockefellers and the Globalists. Why do the proponents of this theory not tell their viewers or readers the origin of this famous conspiracy? Is it because the cottage industry of books and DVD's would be threatened by such a toxic revelation? I'm not saying that they shouldn't talk about it, but I do think that responsible news organizations should at least tell their viewers the true story of the Bilderberg Group and who they truly are. They do actually exist, but they are nothing more than a boring business and banking club that seek to promote world unity.
