SNIPPETS of information leaking out of the annual conclave of the Bilderberg Group — the elite group of western bankers, industrialists and top brass — indicate a far sterner recession than the same gents have so far admitted to in public. They ought to know, given that many of those present are responsible for the crisis in the first place. Among the Bilderbergers who met to discuss a solution to the crisis they created were two Irish personifications of this irony, Peter ‘Porky’ Sutherland and Dermot Gleeson.
The Bilderbergers met in Vouliagmeni, Greece, last month, surrounded as always with helicopters, armed guards and state security — to ward off prying journalists rather than protesters — in their annual session which was devoted exclusively to the global financial crisis.
Mayo residents grappling with Shell’s gas pipeline and East European security personnel will be interested to learn that of the private multinationals present, Royal Dutch Shell was by far the most prominent with at least three of its top personnel there, including its deputy chairman John Kerr, former British Ambassador to the US.
Of greater Irish interest, though, was the presence of former Attorney General and recently resigned AIB chairman Dermot Gleeson along with Peter Sutherland, whose former credentials also include the same two titles as Gleeson. Sutherland resigned from the board of Royal Bank of Scotland following the bank’s risky acquisitions and the avaricious behaviour of its disgraced chief executive, Sir Fred Goodwin, which led to the British government taking a 70% stake in RBS.
Gleeson was forced to announce his resignation as chairman of AIB some weeks ago but after facing the wrath of AIB shareholders at its EGM last month, he immediately flew out to Greece to discuss with other bankers the solution to a global crisis that he and his chums had caused. Sutherland, who has been on the steering committee of the Bilderberg group for many years, was similarly unabashed and just a fortnight after he resigned from RBS he wrote a column in The Irish Times about how to solve the financial crisis. Suds recommended heavy tax increases and cuts in public spending. One can only guess what these two whiz kids recommended at the secret Bilderberg meeting.
