We've added a PDF print of the press release, just in case the last paragraph might be deleted. This is case, namely at the same press release as found at the official website of the Dutch embassy in Washington DC. 

Well, what's the big deal? The Bilderberger conference is increasingly under public scrutiny. As many researchers uncover, year after year, just where this private gathering of the global elite takes place and who participates in what is an illegal conference, the governments of the world cannot keep it a secret anymore.

The conference was founded by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands in the 1950's, with the intention to gather the rulers and presidents of multinationals, chief editors of the press and others in the world of Global Engineering together at a secret place where they can "say what they want" without having to "fear public scrutiny".

Decisions of a global nature are being made at these conferences. You will see future presidents of the USA, future ministers of European states, et cetera.  

Members of the press are only invited when they shut up, and so, they will not mention what they hear. They join the corps and will deny even that there is such a thing as the Bilderberger Conference.

Until recently, that is.

Bilderberg 2008: We can read how Dutch prime minister Jan Peter Balkenende is going to visit George W. Bush and the annual Bilderberg Conference, which is to take place at Chantilly in the USA. 

Unlike previous years, we don't read it of the bilderberg.org website, main source for news concerning the conference, we read it straight of the website from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We could also have read it on the website of Harry van Bommel, a member of Dutch Parliament who has asked questions concerning the Bilderberg Conference.

Harry van Bommel writes (translation by Babylon Observer):

According to reports in the international media, prime minister Balkenende will attend the mysterious Bilderberger conference early June. At these conferences, the problems of the world are discussed by political and business leaders. In secret. Earlier, also queen Beatrix too part in the conferences. Questions from my side concerning the nature of the gatherings were answered unsatisfactory. In spite of that, I deemed it necessary to ask questions now that the prime minister is going too. Obviously he is not there as a private person, but as the prime minister of the Netherlands. Subsequently, we should be able to know to what he's going to say there!

The questions he subsequently asks, are (translation by Babylon Observer):

1. Is it true that during your journey to the USA upcoming June, you will visit the Bilderberger conference?

2. Will more members of the government attend the conference? If so, who? Will the queen also be there again?

3. What is the topic of the conference and what will be your contribution? Does the queen also have an active participation to the gathering? Of so, which one?

4. Can you reveal policy-targets for the conference and are you willing to send a report to the Parliament, wherein you reveal what the Netherlands have achieved? If not, why not?

5. When the conference is closed again, can you reveal in which way the Parliament can practice parliamental scrutiny on a gathering wherein prominent members of government and perhaps even the head of state participates?

2. See attachment 1945 Re-Print, gathering year 2005-2006 (Questions by Harry van Bommel about the queen's visit to Bilderberger conference July 26, 2006)

Crucial questions. The Dutch prime minister will not be happy with the fact that officially, member of parliament have a right to get a satisfactory answer to their questions. That's the rules of democracy which they claim are in place. But then, two years ago, they had to answer questions asked by Harry van Bommel too.

Again, from the website of Harry van Bommel, and translated by the Babylon Observer, the attachment mentioned in the previous quote.

1. Is it true that the queen attended the Bilderberger conference that took place last June in Ottawa, Canada? (1)

2. Under whose responsibility do remarks and actions over there by the queen take place?

3. Are you willing to report to Parliament what has been said at this conference? Are you willing to clarify your answer if necessary?

Answer by minister Bot (Foreign Affairs), also in name of the prime minister, minister of general affairs (received August 15, 2006)

1
Yes. Her Majesty the Queen is used to attend these annual conferences. In attachment 1 you find a press release by the conference in question wherein also the topics and participants are listed. This press release is also sent to the ANP (Dutch Press Agency, BO)

2
Participation of the Queen in the Bilderberg conferences fall under the joint responsibility of the prime minister and the minister of Foreign Affairs.

3
No. This is a closed conference. For the rest see my answer to question 1.

1) Deposited to the Central Information Point of Parliament 

The fact that the member of the Dutch parliament has asked these question, and the fact that answered had to be given, provides official documentation of a conference of which even the mere existence was denied until recently.

Thanks to the power of the Internet and the many websites that use their webspaces to provide and forward the information that we really just have a right to have anyway, governments of the world are forced to at least admit what it is they are doing.

When a member of any government, or heads of states like the Dutch queen, acts under responsibility of their prime minister, but it is not public what they do and speak about, we have a serious violation of democratic rights.

But then, we know, democracy in itself is -like all these other forms of states such as the republic or the monarchy- just another illusion in the world of George Orwell's 1984, where Big Brother Is Watching You and most of all: takes care of us without us knowing...
