Chapter 58 an unusual meeting

The ideas behind Nixon's August 15, 1971 dollar strategy did not surface until more than two years later, in October 1973, and even then only a few insiders understood the connections. In August 1971, the London-New York financial conglomerate moved away from the U.S. dollar as a currency standard, buying precious time while internal policymakers prepared a bold new monetary architecture - some prefer to call it the "Paradigm shift".Certain influential figures in the Anglo-American financial institutions had hatched plans to create a strong dollar again, also to increase their own relative political power in the world, but precisely at this time they too seemed doomed.

In May 1973, as the sharp depreciation of the US dollar continued, 84 of the world's top financial and political figures gathered in Salzjobaden, Sweden, a hidden island resort owned by the Wallenberg family, a prominent Swedish banking family.At the gathering, organized by Prince Bernhard's Bilderberg Club, American attendee Walter Levy painted the "vision" of an imminent quadrupling of OPEC's oil revenues.The purpose of the Saltz-Baden secret meeting was not to prevent possible fluctuations in oil prices, but to manipulate the imminent flood of petrodollars, which US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger later called "the recycling of the petrodollar tide" .

The spokesman from the United States explained the Atlantic-Japan energy policy very clearly.After describing the prospect that the world's oil demand will be supplied by a few oil-producing countries in the Middle East in the future, the spokesperson predicted: "The cost of oil imports will increase significantly, and the trade balance of oil-consuming countries will encounter great difficulties. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, etc. The country’s unprecedented build-up of foreign exchange surpluses will have serious consequences.” The spokesman added: “There is no shortage of oil-exporting countries, oil-importing countries, oil-producing countries, countries where international oil companies are located, and national oil companies in oil-producing and importing countries. During this period, a comprehensive adjustment of politics, strategy and power relations has just begun.” He then predicted that OPEC’s crude oil revenue would more than quadruple, exactly as Kissinger was about to ask the Shah of Iran.

January 8, 1973 Bilderberg Conference List of American Participants at the Salzjobaden Conference, May 10-13, 1973 (There were 20 American attendees staying at the Salzjobaden Hotel, excluding the author of this record and myself. 10 were on the conference steering committee, so there were 10 vacancies.) The following people have one or two referrals - including both referrals.Considering the likely attendees, we must remember the importance of engaging young people and women in meetings.If possible, we also need to invite one or two members of the media or trade union leaders to participate.

Two other reasons for cooperation are the responsibilities of these countries to the world.First, both the energy crisis and energy growth may irreparably jeopardize the economic development of developing countries with few resources of their own.Second, it is entirely possible that the misuse or lax control of financial resources by oil-producing countries could destabilize and undermine the world monetary system.

General principles and limitations of cooperation: There is an unofficial consensus in the European Community that Europe is willing to carry out energy cooperation with the United States and Japan, mainly to resolve malicious price hikes among importing countries... The cost of oil imports will increase substantially, implying that the trade balance of oil-consuming countries will encounter difficulties.The unprecedented accumulation of foreign exchange surpluses in countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates will have serious consequences. A comprehensive realignment of political, strategic, and power relations among oil exporters, oil importers, oil producers, countries where international oil companies are located, and national oil companies that produce and import oil has just begun.

Two passages from the confidential agreement of the Bilderberg Club meeting in Salzjobaden, Sweden, May 1973.Note that the meeting discussed the danger that "abuse or poor control of financial resources by oil-producing countries could well destabilize and destroy the world monetary system."The second excerpt speaks of "a huge increase in oil imports from the Middle East. The cost of imports will increase substantially." Figures released later in the discussion foretell a nearly quadrupling increase in OPEC crude prices. Attending the Saltzjobaden meeting in May 1973 were: Robert Anderson of Atlantic Ridgefield Petroleum Company, Lord Greenhill, chairman of BP, Eric Lowe of the Wallenberg Group, founder of Eurobonds Mr. Ball, George Ball of Lehman Brothers Investment Bank (as Assistant Secretary of State, about 10 years ago, Ball asked his banker friend Sigmund Wallenberg to develop the Eurodollar market in London), Chase Manhattan David Rockefeller of the Bank, Brzezinski of the soon-to-be National Security Advisor to President Carter, Italian Gianni Agnelli and German Otto Wolf von Armerogen, among others.Henry Kissinger was also a frequent visitor to the Bilderberg meeting. In 1973, the author got the original record of the formal discussion of this meeting.Usually this is kept secret, but the document was bought from a used bookseller in Paris, apparently from a member's library. In September 2000, in a private conversation, Prince Zaki Yamani told the author about his talks with the Shah of Iran in early 1974.At that time, according to the order of the King of Saudi Arabia, Yamani asked the Shah of Iran why Iran asked OPEC to make such a large price adjustment. The King replied: "For this question, I suggest you go to Washington and ask Dr. Henry Kissinger." 1973 The program for the 2010 Bilderberg meeting was prepared by Robert Murphy. He was the U.S. consul in Munich in 1922, met Adolf Hitler for the first time, and immediately made a very good proposal to his superiors in Washington.Murphy later served as a political adviser to shape postwar German policy.Watt Levy, who made the energy report at Saltsjobaden, had close ties to the Seven Sisters oil company. In 1948, as an oil economist for the Marshall Office of Economic Cooperation Program Management, Levy fought to prevent a government investigation into oil company pricing.

Robert Duke Italy Lafayette Girouti Italy The annual Bilderberg Club meeting began as early as May 1954, when, in the utmost secrecy, a bloc of Anglophiles appointed the first meeting place - Peter's, near Ahern. Hotel de Berg, from which the conference takes its name.Members of this group included George Ball, David Rockefeller, Dr. Joseph Reitinger, His Royal Highness Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, and George McKee (a staff member of the US State Department who later became a senior executive of the Standard Oil Company).Top European and American elites often gather at annual Bilderberg meetings for secret negotiations and to discuss policy issues.In the following media comments and reports, a consensus agreement was "formed", but the confidentiality of their private discussions was not disclosed.The Bilderberg Conference was one of the most effective means of postwar Anglo-American policy formation.

Apparently, the decision made by the giants gathered by Bilderberg in May of that year was to launch a huge blow to the growth of world industry, so that the balance of power would be tilted back to the side of the Anglo-American financial interest groups and the dollar.For this operation, they decided to use their most powerful weapon - the control of the world's oil circulation.Bilderberg's policy was to trigger a global oil embargo in order to dramatically increase world oil prices.Since 1945, the U.S. dollar has been the standard currency for pricing oil, as U.S. oil companies dominated the postwar oil market.Thus, a sudden sharp rise in world oil prices means that the demand for dollars to buy these oils also rises sharply around the world. This is an interest group centered in London and New York. In history, no interest group has ever had such a strong control over the world's economic prospects.Anglo-American financial interests have more control over oil than anyone imagined.They know full well that the reason their methods are so brutal is because they have an advantage.
