Jayne:
In lieu of my stated hypothesis, I try to link a 'prophetic pattern' with 'prediction' - 'prediction', as a tool, is an objective, analytical statement; an anticipation, if you will, of a 'prophetic pattern'; the 'prophetic pattern', as data, is a matter of who, what, when, where and why. This 'prediction' becomes a concern to me as an American and Global citizen as I try to replace paranoia with concern and conspiracy theory with citizenship. I voice my concern via research and letters. A sampler is included here:
"Cent" (Bilderberg); "hand" ("Bilderberg Conspiracy" - a BBC header - - reference available if requested); "hunger" (refugee problem); "thirst" (refugee problem) - Nostradamus 2,62
[Bilderberg - my comment] Peter Mandelson (Great Briton; Member of Parliament; "Britain's new minister for the province" - Northern Ireland (2)) was on the List of Participants for the secret Bilderberg Meeting held at the Hotel Caesar Park Penha Longa in Sintra, Portugal, June 3-6, 1999 ( http://www.the-news.net/bildeberg/index.htm ) and [Bilderberg - my comment] George Mitchell ("U.S. mediator" - Ireland (2)) is on the "international steering committee" and is alledged to be a participant in the [Bilderberg] "steering committee meeting in Washington next month [November 3-4, 1999], WorldNetDaily has learned" ( http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_exnews/19991012_xex_the_next_bil.shtml ).
[Bilderberg - my comment] Lawrence Summers (USA; Deputy Secretary for International Affairs; US Department of the Treasury; Bilderberg meeting attendee ( http://www.tlio.demon.co.uk/1998.htm ) is alledged to be a participant in the [Bilderberg] "steering committee meeting in Washington next month [November 3-4, 1999], WorldNetDaily has learned" ( http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_exnews/19991012_xex_the_next_bil.shtml ) and [Bilderberg to be - my comment] Thomas Pickering (USA - "Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs" ( http://www.state.gov/www/policy_remarks/1999/990524_pickering.html ) is attending his first Bilderberg meeting.
Based on the information above, it is my guess that the ascension of China into the World Trade Organization and that the progress of peace negotiations in Northern Ireland, will be secret agenda items for the secret Bilderberg meeting in Washington next month.
There will be no mainstream media coverage that the meeting has taken place nor will there be any link mentioned to the Bilderberg Society.
There will be no press conference with inquiry or discussion as to any ideas these men have with regard to the global issues mentioned above.
There will be no job performance ratings or evaluation for these individuals; no perception given to the public as to the scope and sincerity of their efforts.
Right now, it does not look like much progress in being made and, in the case of Northern Ireland, - ultimatums are being issued:
"President Clinton sent [Bilderberg - my comment] Pickering to China in June to try to shake the Chinese of their conviction that the bombing was deliberate, and to try to patch up shattered relations. But China rejected the U.S. explanation as ``unconvincing.''(1)
"U.S. Treasury Secretary [Bilderberg - my comment] Lawrence Summers wound up a visit to China on Tuesday that underlined a warming in relations but which made little progress on Beijing's efforts to join the World Trade Organisation." (2)
"An opinion poll showing a marked drop in support among the Protestant majority for last year's Good Friday peace accord added to the pressures on [Bilderberg - my comment] Mitchell to get the two sides to strike a deal on guerrilla disarmament." (3)
"Peter Mandelson, Britain's new minister for the province, has stepped up pressure on the parties to end the deadlock. "Local politicians must resolve their differences themselves and this week is their chance to do it," he told a conference in Belfast. (3)
So, are Bilderberg negotiators doing their jobs or do they take their cues from Bilderberg Richard Holbrooke who was a part-time diplomat; who failed negotiations in Yugoslavia; who regularly attends the plush and secured Bilderberg conferences and who is scheduled to appear in Washington ("The U.S. group is directed by" [Bilderberg - my comment] "Henry Kissinger," [Bilderberg - my comment] "David Rockefeller," [Bilderberg - my comment] "Paul Allaire and" [Bilderberg - my comment] "Richard C. Holbrooke. - http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_exnews/19991012_xex_the_next_bil.shtml ).
(1) Wednesday October 27 5:38 AM ET U.S. Envoy In China To Normalize Bilateral Ties BEIJING (Reuters) -
Senior State Department official [Bilderberg - my comment] Thomas Pickering arrived in Beijing Wednesday to try to normalize ties strained after the NATO bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade.
Pickering was scheduled to meet Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi Thursday for negotiations on strategic and bilateral issues, U.S. embassy spokesman Bill Palmer said. He declined to give further details.
``Hard work,'' Pickering, the under secretary of state, told reporters when asked what he expected to come out of the talks.
Washington has said its relations with Beijing were ``pretty much back to normal'' after the United States apologized for what it says was a tragic mistake caused by a string of intelligence blunders.
The United States also offered $4.5 million to the families of three Chinese journalists killed and 27 people wounded in the bombing in May.
And Washington hoped [Bilderberg - my comment] Pickering's trip could push ties ``one more step toward normalization,'' said a U.S. diplomat, who asked not to be identified.
It was unclear if the Chinese would engage [Bilderberg - my comment] Pickering on human rights and non-proliferation, issues which have been suspended since the bombing.
Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan said last month Beijing still did not accept the U.S. explanation of the bombing, which prompted China to suspend talks with the United States until recently on its bid to join the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Diplomats said [Bilderberg - my comment] Pickering would discuss neither China's WTO entry nor compensation for the bombing during his trip.
President Clinton sent [Bilderberg - my comment] Pickering to China in June to try to shake the Chinese of their conviction that the bombing was deliberate, and to try to patch up shattered relations. But China rejected the U.S. explanation as ``unconvincing.''
Last week, China and the United States held talks on compensation for the bombing of Beijing's Belgrade embassy, and damage to U.S. diplomatic property in China in subsequent protests, but reached no final agreement.
State Department legal adviser David Andrews and Chinese government officials agreed to meet again soon to continue talks on issues related to the bombing.
[Bilderberg - my comment] Pickering was scheduled to return home Friday.
(2) Monday October 25, 11:54 pm Eastern Time Summers makes little headway on WTO in China By Knut Engelmann
BEIJING, Oct 26 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary [Bilderberg - my comment] Lawrence Summers wound up a visit to China on Tuesday that underlined a warming in relations but which made little progress on Beijing's efforts to join the World Trade Organisation.
Nevertheless, [Bilderberg - my comment] Summers said he believed China was still committed to joining the WTO.
``I felt that commitment was very much there,'' he told a meeting of the American Chamber of Commerce.
[Bilderberg - my comment] Summers also indicated he believed the deadline for wrapping up negotitations was not quite as pressing as many analysts believe. If a deal could be reached this year, it could be steered through the U.S. Congress next year, he said.
[Bilderberg - my comment] Summers was the first U.S. cabinet official to visit China since NATO's bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade in May sent China-U.S. ties plunging.
Although both sides stressed he was not in China to negotiate terms for China's WTO membership, the trip was an opportunity for Summers to air issues holding up an agreement.
[Bilderberg - my comment] Summers told the American Chamber his talks with Premier Zhu Rongji on Sunday were ``warm and friendly.'' But he added: ``That didn't mean there was complete agreement on every issue.''
China's 13-year quest to join the WTO clearly remains one of the biggest divisive issues.
Zhu was rebuffed when he presented market-opening offers to U.S. President Bill Clinton in April that went beyond allprevious proposals.
China froze the talks after the embassy bombing and now the WTO issue has become bogged down in domestic Chinese politics, in wrangling about what Zhu actually put on the table and whether those offers still stand.
A big stumbling block is believed to be China's refusal to open its telecommunications and financial services industries wide enough.
[Bilderberg - my comment] Summers said WTO issues were ``discussed at some length'' during his three-day visit.
``This is something that China and the U.S believe is in the interest of both countries if it can be sone in the right way,'' he told the Chamber meeting, referring to China's WTO entry.
Alluding to strong opposition within China to WTO membership among officials worried about foreign competition, Summers said: ``Certainly it's a complex political environment in China.''
He said both sides reaffirmed the desire to see WTO talks ``concluded at the earliest possible date.''
There is some uncertainty about the sequence and timing of events leading to China's accession.
Late November is a clear deadline, when the WTO begins a new trade round in Seattle. Before that, China must reach agreements with the United States and the EU.
Congress is not required to approve China's entry but must grant Beijing Normal Trade Relations in line with WTO requirements.
However, [Bilderberg - my comment] Summers indicated such a vote would not have to be held before the Seattle round but could wait until 2000, when it was likely to be successful.
In Washington, a U.S. official said Clinton and Chinese President Jiang Zemin spoke this month about China's aims to enter the WTO.
``They talked about WTO,'' the official said of the conversation on October 16.
White House officials declined to confirm the conversation.
``We've made very clear our interest in getting a WTO deal on commercially viable terms ... and our effort to try to do this by the Seattle talks,'' White House spokesman Joe Lockhart said.
``That process has gone to all levels of the government. It's involved all levels of the government,'' he said.
(3) Wednesday October 27 12:28 AM ET U.S. Mediator Returns For Final N.Irish Peace Bid By Martin Cowley BELFAST (Reuters) -
U.S. mediator [Bilderberg - my comment] George Mitchell returns to Northern Ireland Wednesday in a final bid to end a long-running deadlock between Protestant and Roman Catholic politicians over guerrilla disarmament.
The fragility of the peace process in the British province was underlined Tuesday when a crude bomb exploded near the rural town of Dungannon.
A police spokesman said a number of people were arrested when the ``pipe bomb'' -- a favorite weapon of Protestant guerrillas -- was found in a car. The device exploded while security forces were trying to deal with it.
Police in Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic have uncovered several arms caches in recent weeks in further signs that the threat of violence appears to be growing despite cease-fires by mainstream guerrilla groups.
An opinion poll showing a marked drop in support among the Protestant majority for last year's Good Friday peace accord added to the pressures on [Bilderberg - my comment] Mitchell to get the two sides to strike a deal on guerrilla disarmament.
The poll published by the Belfast Telegraph said only 49 percent of Protestants now backed the Good Friday agreement. Sixty-four percent said they had voted ``Yes'' in last year's referendum on the accord.
Eighty-eight percent of Catholics said they supported the agreement.
Frustration May Be Behind Drop In Protestant Support
One political analyst said the fall in Protestant support appeared to be ``a mid-term protest expression of frustration'' about the stalled state of the accord but might change if lasting peace was achieved.
The deadlock over guerrilla disarmament has been holding up implementation of the Good Friday accord, particularly the establishment of a power-sharing executive for the province.
[Bilderberg - my comment] Mitchell has struggled without success for seven weeks but announced Saturday he would give it one last try because the parties were making serious efforts to resolve differences. He signaled he might put forward new ideas.
Sources close to the talks say the former U.S. senator has succeeded in easing tensions between Northern Ireland's main Protestant political group, the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP), and the Irish republican Army's political ally Sinn Fein.
The UUP refuses to share power with Sinn Fein in a largely home-rule provincial government until the IRA disarms as proof that its long war against British rule is over.
Each side accuses the other of breaching the Good Friday accord, which was brokered in April 1998 by Mitchell.
The accord was designed to end decades of conflict that cost 3,600 lives.
[Bilderberg - my comment] Peter Mandelson, Britain's new minister for the province, has stepped up pressure on the parties to end the deadlock.
``Local politicians must resolve their differences themselves and this week is their chance to do it,'' he told a conference in Belfast.
[Bilderberg - my comment] Mandelson said a durable peace was the route to prosperity and stability.
``(Voters) will never forgive those who put unnecessary and unjustifiable barriers in the path of a permanent peace,'' he said.
