(2007) This is not a 50th anniversary performance of Samuel Beckett's play Endgame (1957). Alex Jones appears in this documentary, which he wrote, directed, produced, and helped research; he could learn a lot from Michael Moore's approach to investigating conspiracies.

"Countless people … will hate the new world order … and will die protesting against it." - H.G. Wells, The New World Order (1940). Jones, former journalist Jim Tucker ("manipulate world for selfish interests"), and Canadian journalist Daniel Estulin accuse the Bilderberg Group of being the catalyst since 1954 for a new world order. From Wikipedia:

"The Bilderberg Group or Bilderberg conference is an unofficial annual invitation-only conference of around 130 guests, most of whom are persons of influence in the fields of business, media and politics.

"The elite group meets annually at exclusive, four or five-star resorts throughout the world - normally in Europe - and once every four years in the United States or Canada. It has an office in Leiden, South Holland, Netherlands.[1] The Bilderbergers met from May 31 to June 3 at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Istanbul, Turkey for the 2007 meeting.[2]

"The Hotel de Bilderberg is a hotel in Oosterbeek in the Netherlands where the Bilderberg Group first met in 1954. The hotel gave its name both to the Group and those who participate in its activities (Bilderbergers).

"The original Bilderberg conference was held at the Hotel de Bilderberg, near Arnhem, from May 29 to May 31, 1954. The meeting was initiated by several people. Polish emigre and political adviser, Joseph Retinger, concerned about the growth of anti-Americanism in Western Europe, proposed an international conference at which leaders from European countries and the United States would be brought together with the aim of promoting understanding between the cultures of United States of America and Western Europe.

"The group's secrecy and its connections to power elites has provided fodder for many who believe that the group is part of a conspiracy to create a New World Order.

"Reporter Jonathan Duffy, writing in BBC News Online Magazine states "In Yugoslavia, leading Serbs have blamed Bilderberg for triggering the war which led to the downfall of Slobodan Milosevic. The Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, the London nail-bomber David Copeland and Osama Bin Laden are all said to have bought into the theory that Bilderberg pulls the strings with which national governments dance." [5]

"One critic of the Bilderberg meetings, American paleoconservative conspiracy theorist and radio host Alex Jones, claims that the group intends to dissolve the sovereignty of the United States and other countries into a supra-national structure similar to the European Union or a possible North American Union structured around the NAFTA trade agreements.[6]

"Daniel Estulin, a Madrid-based author, claims that the long-term purpose of Bilderberg is to "Build a One-World Empire". He states the group "is not the end but the means to a future One World Government" whose ultimate goal is to transform Earth into a prison planet "...policed by a United World Army, financially regulated by a World Bank, and populated by a microchipped population whose life's needs have been stripped down to materialism and survival - work, buy, procreate, sleep - all connected to a global computer that monitors our every move." [7]

"Biblical Fundamentalist Tony Gosling registered the domain name bilderberg.org, and uses the web site to spread his theory that the group's alleged efforts towards a world government are a sign of a biblically-predicted apocalypse. [8]

"Denis Healey, a Bilderberg founder and former British chancellor, decries such theories as "crap." He was quoted by BBC News as saying "There's absolutely nothing in it. We never sought to reach a consensus on the big issues at Bilderberg. It's simply a place for discussion." [9]

"A weekly British newsletter, schNews, published an account of the 1999 Bilderberg meeting on their website [10], from which no material supporting the conspiracy claims emerges."

Former President George Herbert Walker Bush spoke of "a new world order" in one of his speeches during his term in office. Jones links the son, current President George W. Bush, Vice President Cheney, former president Bill Clinton, Senator Hillary Clinton, Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller, former ambassador Richard Holbrook, Paul Wolfowitz, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, former New York governor George Pataki, Ahmed Chalabi, and hundreds of other elite leaders in government and business to the Bilderberg Group as co-conspirators.

Jones claims that in 1973 Kissinger proposed to eliminate 80% of the world's population. The plan, according to Jones, is for the world government to use bioweapons to orderly and gradually dehumanize and exterminate people, capping the planet's human population at half a billion - "a prison planet."

Superstates are being created for eventual integration into a single world power: the European Union (EU), the North American Union (NAU), and an Asian union. The NAU (formally established in 2005 by President Bush, Mexico's President Fox, and Canada's Prime Minister Harper) is being formed through means such as NAFTA and the Trans-Texas Corridor (a superhighway that Jones says will be owned by Spain, linking Mexico to Canada through the US, providing billions of dollars of revenue in tolls and carbon taxes). Republican libertarian presidential candidate Ron Paul has said as much and appears in the documentary.

Dr Michael Coffman appears as an expert on the Wildlands Project, which he alleges is not really intended for its stated purpose to protect biological diversity in the environment but to control human population in the rural areas of the West. The superhighways will provide no access to rural communities, leaving them vulnerable to termination. Eventually only two classes of people will inhabit the planet: the elite (privileged to radical life extension) and the slaves working in the megacities.

A history of ancient world empires from Babylon, Egypt, Greece, and Rome to the European financiers in the 15th through 19th centuries to the Rothschilds and Rockefellers, who financed both sides of every major conflict for profit and influence, along with the League of Nations, Hitler's National Socialism for new world order, Stalin's Soviet Union, Mao's Communist China, and the United Nations are all cited as forerunners of the global government of the 21st century. Not mentioned are people such as Albert Einstein, who also advocated for a world government to take control of nuclear weapons.

The nation's public is frighteningly unaware of what is happening as black limousines carry elite leaders behind bullet-proof tinted-glass windows to secret meetings to determine the public's fate. Corporatism will put an end to democracy. The PATRIOT Act, surveillance cameras, RFID, national IDs, eugenics, and more technologies will eliminate all privacy of ordinary citizens. President Bush already has signed an executive order making him dictator, though he is but a puppet of a higher elite. "You have been warned!"

Did you know that Planned Parenthood is behind China's one-child policy. Also Jones declares that China euthanizes its elderly and harvests organs from its people for international trade. If they fail in their grand goal of global control, the elite are willing to "destroy themselves in their mad rush for godhood."

A documentary should offer competing views; Jones provides no interviews with his opposition, nothing contrasting or contradicting his one-sided agitprop. He bloviates with an amplified bull horn, blaring his barrage of bile at buildings: in front of the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, in 2006 and in front of Texas Governor Perry's residence in Austin, Texas. Why not a personal interview with Perry, whom he accuses of violating the Logan Act, as well as with others accused of taking part in the Bilderberg Group, the Trans-Texas Corridor, etc.?

There's no attempt at fairness or even intentional humor. The film exaggerates by taking words and events out of context, juxtaposing disparate emotion-laden images with the intention of provoking innuendo. For example, does Jones mean to implicate Bono along with Tony Blair? Maybe, he doesn't say, just posts a picture of them together.

Granted that the Bush/Cheney administration's arrogant penchant for secrecy, its willingness to deceive the public (using the threat of terrorism as its rationale) to achieve its own neocon ends, has led to a moist atmosphere where the mold of conspiracies can grow and spread their spores.

Nevertheless, we don't have to be irrational as a response. If the Bilderberg Group is the core of consensus for world domination, with more than 100 representatives from across the globe, where were the Russians, Chinese, Indians, Arabs at these conferences? How could there be a world government without the approval of President Putin, President Hu Jintao, the leaders of India and the Arab states, their countries making up about half the planet's human population? Does anyone really believe such nationalists are willing to cooperate together?

Of course, if such a program could be carried out, it might solve the problems of immigration, overpopulation, and international pollution. Save the planet by destroying civilization as we know it.
