Q: "Isn't that is some way a conspiracy...?"
A: "Oh, come off it, Dear boy....!
Look, you 'get on' at the BBC because you suck up to the people who say 'Let's go and talk to Denis Healy...
This use of the phrase "to get on" as a verb is an explicit reference to the reality of Masonic nepotism within the BBC and other great establishment institutions.
"But that is the world...
That is the way it happens in the world, and quite rightly so.
And what's wrong with that...?"
'Uniting the West' - by Denis Healey (extract)
From his autobiography 'The Time of My Life'. Published by Penguin, 1989.
[Talking about contradictions in the post-war Labour party]
Before long a benign providence developed another mechanism for assisting impecunious European socialists to learn something of the outside world - the international conference.
Konigswinter performed this function for Germany.
The Council of Europe covered Western Europe as a whole.
The NATO Parliamentarians Conference brought politicians from Europe, the United States, and Canada together once a year.
Before long there was also an annual meeting in Bermuda of British MP's and members of Congress.
Then the great American foundations of Ford and Rockefeller took a hand.
There was a proliferation of cultural conferences in all parts of the world, including the Congress for Cultural Freedom, where I could meet people less directly involved in politics such as the poet Stephen Spender, the philosopher Raymond Aron, and the novelist Mary McCarthy.
I later discovered that the Congress for Cultural Freedom, like Encounter magazine, was financed by the CIA; both nevertheless made a useful contribution to the quality of Western life at that time.
Of all these meetings, the most valuable to me while I was in opposition were the Bilderberg Conferences - so called after the Bilderberg Hotel near Arnhem, where the first was held in 1954.
They were the brain-child of Joseph Retinger, a Pole who had settled in England after the Great War, married the daughter of the socialist intellectual, E.D. Morel, and worked as a secretary to Joseph Conrad, another Polish ex-patriate.
Retinger was a small wizened man, with a pince-nez on a wrinkled brown face. He was crippled by polio. During the war he had been an aide to General Sikorski, and despite his extreme physical disability was parachuted into Poland to make contact with the Home Army. After the war he organised the Congress of the Hague, which launched the European Movement.
Convinced of the need for a similar forum to strengthen unity between Europe and North America, he approached Hugh Gaitskell, General Colin Gubbins, who had commanded SOE during the war, and several leading politicians and businessmen who were concerned to strengthen Atlantic cooperation.
They asked Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands to act as Chairman, because they rightly thought it would be difficult to find a politician whose objectivity would be above suspicion, and who could call Cabinet ministers from any country to order without causing offence.
I was invited to the first meeting and later acted as convener of the British who attended;
Reggie Maudling and I were the British members of the Steering Committee.
Retinger and his successor, the Dutch Socialist Ernst van der Beughel, who later became Chairman of KLM, were extraordinarily successful in persuading busy men to give up a weekend for private discussions, though they found it more difficult to attract ministers than politicians out of office.
The Bilderberg conferences inevitably aroused jealousy, because they were exclusive, and suspicion, because they were private.
In America they were attacked as a left-wing plot to subvert the United States, in Europe as a capitalist plot to undermine socialism
They were neither.
Immense care was taken to invite a fair balance from all political parties, and to include trade unionists as well as businessmen.
Though the discussions were more carefully prepared than at many such meetings - I myself wrote a paper for most conferences - their real value, as always, was in the personal contacts made outside the conference hall.
Industrialists like Gianni Agnelli and Otto Wolf von Amerongen had to listen to socialists and trade unionists - and vice versa. Experience has taught me that lack of understanding is the main cause of all evil in public affairs - as in private life.
Nothing is more likely to produce understanding than the sort of personal contact which involves people not just as officials or representatives, but also as human beings. That is why the Commonwealth Scholarships, which bring students from America and the Commonwealth to Britain, have made a contribution to good relations between the Anglo-Saxon democracies out of all proportion to their cost.

Martin Bormann, Nazi In Exile by Paul Manning (1981)
Nazi finance & continuity network - rare book about Hitler's No. 2 whose death was faked in 1972
A decisively powerful network of corporate entities run by hardened SS veterans, the Bormann group constitutes what one veteran banker termed “the greatest concentration of money power under a single control in history.”
The foundation of the organization’s clout is money—lots and lots of money.
Controlling German big business and, through investments, much of the rest of the world’s economy, the organization was the repository for the stolen wealth of Europe, estimated by British intelligence to have totaled more than $180 billion by the end of 1943 (not including the money taken from Greece and the former Soviet Union, nor that taken after 1943.)
This organization literally constitutes a postwar “Underground Reich” witha governing hierarchy composed of the sons and daughters of SS men, holding military ranks and titles from the Third Reich.
