Bilderberg Attendee: Obama Officials Gave Briefings
At Secret Elite Confab
Behind closed doors gathering throws up multiple potential
violations of Logan Act

An attendee of this year's secretive Bilderberg meeting in Vouliagmeni,
Greece has revealed that several Obama administration officials
were in attendance and gave briefings to the elite group's members.
The revelations indicate that those Obama officials
could have acted in violation of the Logan Act, a 1799 law that
criminalizes unauthorized U.S. citizens from negotiating with
foreign governments.
Speaking on the proviso of anonymity, in accordance
with Bilderberg’s off-the-record rules, the attendee told
the US political Journal POLITICO:
"The closed meeting of some of the most
powerful business, media and political leaders in North America
and Western Europe heard from top Obama diplomats James Steinberg
and Richard Holbrooke, who detailed the administration’s
foreign policy, while economic advisor Paul Volcker, chairman
of President Obama’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board,
also gave a presentation at the heavily guarded seaside resort
in Greece that hosted the event."
According to the Washington, D.C. based outlet,
the anonymous attendee claims that Holbrooke, a State Department
special envoy, briefed attendees on the Obama administration’s
ongoing and future policies concerning Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The unnamed attendee also suggested that James
Steinberg, the Deputy Secretary of State, gave a presentation
on the administration’s broader foreign policy, while
National Security Agency Director Lt. Gen. Keith Alexander also
participated in the conference.
Alexander, Holbrooke and Steinberg have all attended
previous Bilderberg meetings, but at the time were not acting
representatives of the US government.
POLITICO says that The White House, State Department
and NSA have not responded to questions regarding Alexander,
Holbrooke and Steinberg's attendance at the meeting or whether
they were representing the Obama administration.
Meanwhile, Paul Volcker's assistants have admitted
that he was present at the meeting, but could not clarify the
details of his briefing and stressed that he was not representing
the White House.
Furthermore, the Treasury department has denied
that Timothy Geithner was in attendance at Bilderberg, claiming
he was in New York at the time, despite reports in the London
Times and confirmations from Bilderberg investigators
Jim
Tucker and Daniel Estulin, placing Geithner at
Bilderberg 2009.

Given that Greek Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis
and Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis attended
this year's Bilderberg, in addition to UK government
official Peter Mandelson, along with several other heads of
state including Dutch Queen Beatrix, Queen Sofia of Spain, this
places Alexander, Holbrooke, Steinberg, Volcker and Geithner
in violation of the Logan Act, should their attendance be officially
recognised.
The Logan
Act is intended to prohibit American citizens without
authority from interfering in relations between the United States
and foreign governments.
The Logan Act states, "Any citizen of the
United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of
the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries
on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government
or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the
measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer
or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies
with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United
States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more
than three years, or both."
An Obama administration official giving a secret
gathering of foreign government representatives a briefing on
the foreign policy or the monetary policies of the US government,
can clearly be recognised within such terms.
The Logan Act also bars public officials from
meeting with private citizens to make policy, a crime for which
the Clinton White House was fined $300,000 for, according to
Bilderberg sleuth Jim Tucker.
The act was established by Congress in 1799, with
the only official indictment having occurred in 1803. This incident
involved a Kentucky newspaper article that argued for the formation
in the western United States of a separate nation allied to
France. No prosecution followed.
The fact that Bilderberg has a proven track record
of creating consensus for policy that is enacted shortly down
the line also betrays the group as wholly undemocratic and criminal
in its secrecy, further violating the Logan Act.
Will any investigations, charges or prosecutions
follow? It is unlikely, given that the castrated mainstream
media in the US has uniformly sealed their lips on the event
once again.
Indeed, anyone who suggests that Bilderberg is
anything more than a golfing holiday for the rich and powerful,
is painted up as some kind of crazy lunatic.
"...any suggestion that Bilderberg is secretly
anointing world leaders or plotting global policy is the provenance
of “the black helicopter crowd,” the anonymous attendee
of this year’s conference told POLITICO.
This despite the fact that this year's event was
protected from a relatively tiny gathering of independent reporters
and protesters by a joint effort on behalf of “hundreds
of police, navy commandos, coast guard speedboats and two F-16
fighter planes”, according to a rare AP
report.
The meetings are “one of the least well-kept secrets
in the world” and “don’t have any decision-making
authority,” said the attendee, a comment which we have
tirelessly
shown to be patently false.
