Would-Be World’s Biggest Oil Merger Agreed at Bilderberg!

• Would-Be World’s Biggest Oil Merger Agreed at Bilderberg! 
  by Steve Watson, www.Prisonplanet.com
  Despite countless examples that prove the  contrary, detractors, debunkers and non believers continually argue that the  Bilderberg group holds no power, and that it is just a talking shop for elite  has-beens. Now yet more evidence has emerged that policy and secret  multi-billion deals between business heads and government are formulated at the  meeting.
  –
  The London Telegraph today reports in it’s article  titled Bilderberg Group? No conspiracy, just the most influential group  in the world, that recently, a major oil deal, in fact what would be the  world’s biggest, was formulated at a Bilderberg meeting:
  –
  “And for business leaders, it is a perfect  opportunity to lay the groundwork for deals.” the report states.
  –
  “According to Tom Bergin’s Spills and Spin, the  account of the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster, Lord Browne, the head of BP, used a  walk by Lake Como at the 2004 gathering in Italy to suggest a vast merger with  Shell to create the world’s biggest oil company.”
  –
  “Lord Browne left under the impression it would  happen.” the report asserts.
  –
  Indeed, the cards have been firmly on the table  regarding the deal, and industry experts are sure that it is only a matter of  time before the merger goes ahead. Representatives from both BP and Shell are at  the Bilderberg meeting this year, as usual, as well as members of the Dutch  royal family and the Dutch prime minister – Shell Oil is a subsidiary of Royal  Dutch Shell, which was founded under a royal charter.
  –
  The report also notes how Lord Healey, a long time  Bilderberg attendee, recalls the importance of the discussions that were held  there regarding policy on the Vietnam war, and particularly on European  integration:
  –
  Most vividly, he recalls its role in bringing the  architects of the European integration – Schmidt, Pompidou, Giscard d’Estaing,  Leone – together for open-ended discussions with bankers and economists about  how the European monetary system might work.
  –
  “The great advantage of the Bilderberg thing was  they did not have to reach agreement. You had time to discuss things with people  who influence events who normally you would not meet at all.” He adds: “People could talk very freely, much more  freely than they would at home.”
  –
  Would the European Union and single currency have  taken the shape they have now without those early Bilderberg meetings, I ask  him. “I think it was a very important element in it.  Whether it would have happened without it is difficult to say,” he  says.
  –
  Indeed, documents read by the BBC and later released by Wikileaks divulge how Bilderberg members were discussing the creation of the euro single currency nearly 40 years before it was officially introduced in the 1992 Maastricht Treaty.
  –
  “A meeting in June in Europe of the Bilderberg Group- an informal club of leading politicians, businessmen and thinkers chaired by Mr. Davignon- could also ‘improve understanding’ on future action, in the same way it helped create the Euro in the 1990s, he said,” reported the EU Observer in March 2009.
  –
  As we have exhaustively documented, there are numerous examples to illustrate the fact that Bilderberg is not merely a “talking shop” as some in the corporate press frame it, but a venue where consensus is formed for the implementation of both national and geopolitical policies.
  –
  In spring 2002, when war hawks in the Bush administration were pushing for a summer invasion of Iraq, Bilderbergers expressed their desire for a delay and the attack was not launched until March the following year.
