Turkey and Syria Bond Over Saving the Bald Ibis

A Northern bald ibis in the Vienna Zoo. Photo by Roberto Verzo via Flickr. It’s got an awfully ugly mug to have inspired any kind of romantic association, but our guide at the bird sanctuary in Birecik, on the Euphrates River in southeastern Turkey, waxed poetic about how the bald ibises resident there mate for life and return after their annual migration on

What are the Bilderberg Group Really Doing in Spain?

Security is so tight at the annual cabal of the world's elite that conspiracy theories about what is discussed – and who's invited – are rife. If the conspiracy theorists are on to something, they could be plotting the invasion of Iran, planning the funeral of the Euro or scheming to wipe out French poodles in pink sweaters at this very minute. Or perhaps the world's financial and political leaders are simply schmoozing about their golf game as they enjoy a “chocolate massage” followed by the “honey body scrub” and the “spectacular oxygen Echo2 facial” at the Dolce Hotel's spa in Sitges. It is also possible that the world's executives, media moguls, and financial gurus came to the elegant seaside town near Barcelona to study the booming gay tourist market there (although they missed the wild Carnival celebration by a few months) and to sneak a preview of next year's international horror film festival. But ordinary citizens can only guess at the goings-on at the annual meeting of the secretive Bilderberg Group, a media-barred pow-wow of the global elite that in the past has reportedly attracted former US President Bill Clinton, Tony Blair and David Cameron, and US treasury secretary Timothy Geithner. Even the late Enoch Powell once attended. The heavyweight weekend retreat kicked off yesterday with hordes of police security and a gag order for employees at the luxury Dolce, whose aptly-named presidential suites overlook the Mediterranean. None of the illustrious guests posed for photos or spouted prepared statements for the media. Instead, activists, journalists and bloggers attempted to stake out positions in the surrounding hills to catch glimpses of this year's participants, guerrilla-warrior style. more at link…We are definitely on to something; check out my page: www.current.com/groups/conspiracy-films added by: rodstradamus
