'There is no equality between humans': Bilderberg group website hacked

The site has been taken down by hackers identifying themselves as the Hackback movement and Anonymous.

THE BILDERBERG WEBSITE has been taken down by hackers identifying themselves as the HackBack movement and Anonymous.

The group’s homepage has been replaced with text, which states:

There is no equality between humans on world scale and so-called human rights are nothing more than an illusion. The globalisation and world order system is favouring this unbearable situation…This world order is conducted by the groups which are composed of wealthy 1% uber elite…
We will watch you.

The secretive nature of the Bilderberg group meetings – and the elite nature of the guest list – means they’ve long been the subject of criticism with accusations that the organisation is a mostly white, mostly male networking opportunity.

Right-wing critics have accused it of attempting to promote a world government.

The whole event runs in strict accordance with the Chatham House Rule, which in everyday English means that those in attendance are free to use the information shared by other attendees, but the identity and the affiliation of those who said it cannot be revealed.

As everyone is bound to this agreement, no minutes or notes are taken at the meeting – and the very few members of the media who are let into the inner circle can’t report on the event.

This means little is known about exactly what is said, beyond the broad discussion topics released to the public.

Hacked 

This is not the first time the website has been hacked this year. The Sun reports the site was hacked back in June by the Anonymous group.

This year the Bilderberg conference was held in Dresden, Germany and was attended by 130 of the world’s leaders in finance, academia, industry, politics and media from 20 countries.

In the past, a number of Irish figures have attended the meeting.

In 2012, documents released to TheJournal.ie under the Freedom of Information Act shone a light on the event after details relating to Finance Minister Michael Noonan’s attendance were made public.

Noonan also attended this year and was accompanied by Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary.

Other big names at the event this year are former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and German finance minister Wolfgang Schäuble.

In previous years, a number of Irish politicians and business figures have attended, including the current Housing Minister Simon Coveney, former Tánaiste Michael McDowell, former attorney general Dermot Gleeson and ex-Taoiseach Garret FitzGerald.

    Climate change modelling is an outrigger of the scientific method, which is based on Newton’s clockwork solar system modelling. That awful perspective has a central principle that the Earth doesn’t turn once in 24 hours and a thousand times in a thousand 24-hour days.

    The topic of how to demonstrate a round Earth was brought up a number of days ago, and unfortunately, readers once again were unable to affirm the correct equatorial rotation velocity, which affirms that not only is the Earth round, but it is also a sphere.

    A pizza is flat, but it can also be round, so the more developed perspective of the Earth as a sphere supersedes the crude flat vs. round choice. The Earth’s rotation demonstrates its shape.

    @Jerry LeFrog: To demonstrate that the Earth is round and a sphere rather than round and flat ( like a pizza), only the maximum equatorial rotation velocity based on the maximum circumference is required.

    The basis of all scientific method modelling, including climate change modelling, insists that the value is 1674.4 km/h for a circumference of 40,075 km.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth

    Clocks and Longitude, including the GPS, base the actual rotation value at the Equator as 1669.8 km/hr.

    The day/night cycle, which includes sunrise, noon, and sunset happens once every 24 hours due to one rotation. The academic community denies these facts.

    “Owing to the difference between solar and sidereal time, the Earth rotates once more often than 24-hour days in a year” NASA.

    @Ray Dunne: I see through thumbs-up approval that most Journal commenters refuse to accept that the sunrise/sunset cycle every 24 hours is not also one rotation of the Earth.

    That more than anything demonstrates how easy it is to convince society of the need to control the weather/temperatures (climate change modelling).

    The Earth has been turning and creating the day/night cycle long before humanity appeared on Earth, long before the dinosaurs, and long before life on land and in the sea, so it is the oldest observation people have and perhaps the most precious and immediate experience of a moving Earth.

    What could be more beautiful and inspirational, and so what if I am the only person to affirm the connection between the rotation and Earth science?

    If people choose a ridiculous notion through a misadventure with timekeeping, these pizza earthers ( round and flat earth) might believe they are in some way superior to others; they are best left to their own devices.

    Climate change modelling, like natural selection, will fade without being dealt with properly. They are symptoms rather than the disease

    @Science: It is late as my location (and me with it) rotates into the dark hemisphere for a number of hours before rotating back into the light hemisphere and the radiation of our parent star

    Only scientific method modellers dispute this intimate experience, and they are the foolish people promoting climate change modelling.

    Cowardice before basic facts is the worst so you believe what you need to, people need to be courageous and considerate and not silent.

    @Gerald Kelleher: If you brought all the theories and counter theories of climate change modelling and all the facts and figures and dropped them on top of the flood in Germany would they be enough to soak it up. If anyone has a spare opinion or theory feel free to add to the pile .

    These regions were always prone to floods, and the investment to prevent this and maintenance is discovered often not matching what should have been done. Nothing to do with the end of the world BS climate change
