I wouldn't want their job.
It is not difficult to see that democracy is only a small part in the grand play upon the world politics stage.
The actors include human civilization's various heads of states. They are forefront in the performance. They are the ones whom the audience sees; they are the ones who conduct the dialogue on stage for the audience to hear.
However, as with any play, most of the individuals involved in the performance necessarily work behind the scenes: script writers, stage hands, make-up artists, tailors, directors, etc.. Without them the show simply could not go on.
Some conspiracy theorists suggest that the Bilderbergs are those who work behind-the-scenes to manipulate this grand performance for sinister purposes. This, of course, is nonsense. In actuality, like any scriptwriter / director, they just want to put on a good show.
But how do we explain why it isn't a good show at the moment?
Well, part of the problem is that they've taken up the task of directing the performance while it has been on-going. In fact, this play has been performed far longer than the 50 odd years since the founding of the Bilderbergs; it's been going on since the beginning of civilization itself, for this play is civilization itself.
The Bilderbergs are just frantically scribbling in the next act of the performance. But they have no idea what the ending might be, nor do they even have a clue as to who the protagonist should be.
Moreover, they've taken up the task with a tough crowd in attendance: many in the audience have grown impatient with the performance, and have started to throw stuff at the actors on stage. Some in the back row are even quietly discussing how to blow up the auditorium.
We can't blame the Bilderbergs, however. It really isn't their fault. I mean they are doing the best with the script they were left with by the directors and scriptwriters who had come before them. It is rather poorly written, incomplete, full of mistakes, and has no coherent plot.
As a result, the actors have been running around on stage like chickens with their heads chopped off, bantering back and forth at each other about border security, the war in Iraq, global warming , energy crisis, human rights, etc., etc., In effect, they are just stalling, hoping to God that the Bilderbergs can complete the script for the next act.
In other words, the Bilderbergs shouldn't have received an incomplete, error-riddled script to begin with.
What needs to happen is for the audience to settle down and allow the directors and script-writers behind the scenes to complete the script for the next act. They can't work under the type of pressure they are now under.
For that matter, it wouldn't hurt if the Bilderbergs realised that they don't have to take on all the responsibility for the success of the play: they should make more of an effort in allowing the audience to take part in the performance.
The fact of the matter is that we are all participants in the performance. Whether we are sitting in the audience or working behind the scenes, we are all playing a part in the play because of our very involvement as members of human civilization.
Therefore, in order to move forward in the plot, all nations and all individuals alike need to take a more active and yet facilitative part in the performance.
The sooner we all realise this, the sooner we can get on to enjoying our evening at the theatre.
