Commission members present, did not discuss the ongoing inquiry in the
"off-the-record" meeting taking place over the three-day affair.
Although the subject of Bilderberg and their impact on world affairs is
beyond the scope of this book—and has been analyzed in far better scope
elsewhere (particularly in The Spotlight newspaper and now in American
Free Press), there is no question Bernhard had ushered Ford into higher ranks
than he had ever been in before.
Among those who attend the elite Bilderberg meetings—generally no
more than roughly 100-120 people—are some of the wealthiest and most
powerful people in the world. The Bilderberg meetings—although "fronted"
by Bernhard—are financed jointly by the Rockefeller and Rothschild families
whose representatives are very much in attendance, along with a handful of
political figures from the United States and Western Europe, joined by select
names from major foundations, academia and labor.
Also on hand are big names from the media—although they are sworn
to secrecy and never report about the private discussions held during the
conference. For example: former CIA operative William F. Buckley, Jr.,
was invited to the Bilderberg meeting in Cesme, Turkey in 1975 879 but
Buckley's "conservative" National Review magazine has always assured its
readers that there is nothing "conspiratorial" about the Bilderberg group.
(The connections of Buckley's family to Israeli oil interests, examined
in Chapter 9, are interesting, especially since, as we've seen, the Rothschild
family initially dominated Israel's petroleum industry, later selling
substantial interests in their Paz conglomerate to Tibor Rosenbaum and
Gerald Ford's Michigan benefactor, Max Fisher.)
In any event, Gerald Ford himself was cognizant of the big honor that
had been bestowed upon him by Prince Bernhard when he was invited to
attend this select gathering. "You don't really belong to the organization;
one gets an invitation from the Prince," bragged Ford in 1965. 880 (and who
in 1966 was once again invited by Tibor Rosenbaum's good friend, Prince
Bernhard, to attend this important international conclave). 881
However, Ford's first participation in the Bilderberg meeting in 1964
was not, in fact, the first time he was invited. In 1961 Ford was also invited to
attend a Bilderberg gathering in Quebec, but due to a heavy work load and family
problems—his children were "quite ill with scarlet fever"
882 —young
Congressman Ford was unable to attend that elite confab.
Thus, it is no stretch of the imagination—nor is it any "conspiracy
theory"—to suggest that precisely because of his service on the Warren
Commission (coupled with his entree into the Bilderberg elite at precisely
the same time), Gerald Ford's ascension to higher office was assured. Other
JFK assassination researchers have suggested as much themselves, but they
have never explored Ford's connections as we have done here.
In this aspect—as in other aspects relative to the JFK assassination
conspiracy and cover-up—Final Judgment pulls no punches in looking at
the big picture: the other side of the jigsaw puzzle.
However, the far-reaching connections of the international banking
establishment and the Zionist elite into the affairs of the Warren
