The SPOTLIGHT January 7 & 14, 1991 SHADOW GOVERNMENT REACHED ITS '90 GOALS By James P. Tucker Jr. It was a banner year for the world shadow government in 1990: They raised your taxes in the United States and drummed Margaret Thatcher out of No. 10 Downing Street in England. "Bilderberg orders tax hike," SPOTLIGHT readers learned on May 28. "The Bilderberg group [is] plotting the political assassination: of the British prime minister "because of her refusal to yield British sovereignty to the European superstate that is to emerge in 1992," The SPOTLIGHT reported on May 29, 1989. "The Bilderberg group is bringing its considerable pressure to bear on President George Bush to increase taxes," The SPOTLIGHT reported. "The group is confident he will comply-albeit with public expressions of reluctance." Thus, readers knew months in advance that Bush was programed to break his "no new taxes" pledge. This Bush did on cue, in the budget deal with Congress in October that resulted in increased taxes and higher spending as a means of "reducing the deficit." A massive plan to offset and expected reduction in war profits-caused by the demise of communism and the end of the Cold War-by pressuring governments, most notably, the United States, into massive spending on the environment was uncovered at the meeting of the Trilateral Commission (TC' SPOTLIGHT, May 7, 1990). The Trilateralists called for a new global bureaucracy to direct a world wide fight, ostensibly for clean air and water, with the American taxpayers bearing the heaviest burden through World Bank handouts. MASSIVE MOBILIZATION The world should similarly respond to the threat to the environment, the Trilateralists said. The Bilderberger and Trilateral groups are supersecret organizations of international financiers and political leaders who meet behind closed doors each spring to plan their global strategy. David Rockefeller is the dominant force in the Trilateralists; he shares power with the Rothschilds of ?Europe in the older Bilderberg group. However, the leadership of both groups is overlapping, and their policies are coordinated. So it was after the Trilateralists proclaimed their war on pollution at their meeting in Washington during April that White House Chief of Staff john Sununu was summoned to the Bilderberg meeting on Long Island in May for a chewing out. Sununu, who is well know for bullying congressional leaders and Cabinet members, had also expressed skepticism about investing tax dollars in a war on pollution. But after the international elite got through with Sununu at its sevret meeting, he fell silent on the issue. The president's bully was himself bullied. TC AT WHITE HOUSE Bush, himself a longtime member of the TC, as was President Jimmy Carter, met with the commission at the White House in April. Vice President Dan Quayle was summoned to the Bilderberg meeting to make sure the White House pipeline remained intact. Plans to exploit cheap labor in South America were also uncovered at the Trilateral meeting. The SPOTLIGHT had reported a year earlier, from Paris, that the TC was sending a task force to study schemes for economic development in South America for the first time. The task force report, circulated to members as a tool for pressuring their governments, calls for huge amounts of capital to be poured into the debt-ridden countries of South America. While the report is circumspect and does not directly call for sending more American tax dollars, Bill Perry, and author of the report, admitted that was the goal. Also, under SPOTLIGHT questioning, Perry admitted that the Trilateralists try to influence government policy, which the Trilateralists have long denied, despite the absurdity of their of their refusal to make this admission. "People involved hold high [government] positions," Perry said. "The commission has its own prestige, and the members have their own." Bus has recently returned from South America, where he was carrying out the Trilateral-Bilderberg mandate by privately assuring governments of debt forgiveness and more American tax dollars, and publicly pledging to institute unrestricted "free trade," virtually giving away the American store and permitting a flood of foreign-produced, cheap-labor products into the United States, throwing millions of American workers out of their jobs (SPOTLIGHT, Dec 24). The free trade scam is an old gambit of the "one-worlders" to destroy national sovereignty and to move the world into a so-called global economy without a world government, which is the grand design of the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg group and the allied big money interests they represent. The SPOTLIGHT is the sole newspaper in the country to cover the secret operations of these enigmatic, shadowy internationalist groups. It is also the only newspaper to have ever penetrated their meetings and report on the proceedings. Ironically, the major news organizations are well aware of these groups' activities, since many of the media elite are members of both groups. Newsmen, however, who attend as participants are sworn to secrecy and never reveal the grand plans hatched for the rest of us.
