Bilderberg, Google and the G8: New Global Tax Regime Already in the WorksThis years annual Bilderberg conference is rapidly approaching where the worlds political and business elite meet in private to discuss their agenda which will determine future policies that govern global affairs. Some aspects of this years Bilderberg agenda are gradually coming into view, and have the potential for directly affecting not only big multinationals like Google, but every business on the planet. The secret gathering has been gradually forced into public view in recent years, and the run-up to Bilderberg 2013 has been one of great anticipation and not without its share of news. First came the false start from the alternative media regarding the meetings actual location, with many claiming it would be held again at the Westfield Marriott in Chantilly, Virginia. Two months after, the announcement arrived that the meeting would take place 30 minutes north of London, at the Grove Hotel in Hertfordshire, England. A small media circus is expected this year following the announcement that a Bilderberg Fringe festival is being organized adjacent to the venue an event certain to attract hundreds, if not thousands of revelers, press and alternative media personalities. Add to this the news that long-time Bilderberg sleuth and American Free Press correspondent, Jim Tucker had passed away on April 24th. Few people would even know the Bilderberg meetings ever took place if not for 30 years of digging and reporting by veteran journalist Tucker. Google is currently engaged in a battle over unpaid taxes in the UK, which has led political commentators to now call for a new system of global taxation. Not surprisingly, this has become the chief topic of discussion at a series of global summits taking place during May and June. Heres how this major issue rose out of the Google debate, and how it will be folded into Bilderbergs 2013 agenda, and later to the G8 Summit shortly thereafter Its worth pointing out here that both Osborne and Miliband have played the role of Googles adversary in public during their corporation tax row, yet they are the corporations VIP guests in private. Bilderbergs Digital Tycoons Two weeks ago, a major UK clash erupted between No. 10 Downing Street and Google over the issue of corporate tax evasion. Googles Matt Brittin was grilled by the UKs Commons Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and its chair, Margaret Hodge, who accused Google doing evil by using an elaborate array of offshore entities in a smoke and mirrors financial maze designed to avoid paying any significant tax into UK coffers. Both PM David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne also came out loudly in public accusing Google of being immoral. Google is said to have only chipped in 6 million GBP in 2011 out of its 3 billion GBP turnover in that same year. Googles Peter Baron claims its in full compliance with UK law, issuing the public statement last week that, None of the allegations put to us change the fact that Google pays the corporate tax due on its UK activities and complies fully with UK law. Will Google throw in the towel and submit to a British tax resolution? As the public feud between Google and Downing Street takes centre stage, backstage both UK Chancellor George Osborne and Google CEO Eric Schmidt both committed fellow Bilderberg members, are said to have met in private at the Google event, and are poised to do so again at Bilderberg 2013. Both have attended the annual meeting almost continuously since 2006. While addressing the Google tax loophole, the UKs Independent newspaper led by its liberal-leaning economics editor, Ben Chu, goes on to essentially lay out what is likely to be at the top of the agenda at Bilderberg 2013: The cascade of revelations in recent months showing multinational companies doing a huge amount of business here and yet paying virtually no corporation tax has provoked widespread public demands for something to be done. National governments could and should try to put a stop to this egregious profit shifting on their own. But a unilateral approach is plainly second best. The natural solution is to secure an agreement by all the worlds governments to tax the profits of multinational firms collectively and to divide up the revenues fairly between them. This division could be based on the amount of business done by the multinational in their various territories as revealed by their turnover and number of employees. Global tax means global government Will Bilderbergs global elite use this perfect crisis moment as a pretext to build the framework for global taxation? Most likely. If the idea passes through Bilderberg in June, will it then be rubber stamped later at the G8? Highly likely. Although happy to float such a revolutionary idea in the media in advance of back-to-back Google and Bilderberg summits at the Grove Hotel, and later at the G8, one thing which global taxation advocates fail to mention here is that if you institute a global taxation system then you would need a global government to administrate it. Yes, you heard that right: global taxation = global government. It would be naive to think that any tax could be levied without a government standing behind it. That is, after all, part of the definition of a tax. Campaigners will deny it exists, but the reality is that global governing bodies have already been put into place long ago. UK Column Editor Mike Robinson explains, I think that the embryonic global institutions are already in place, and were going to see them being given more and more real jobs to do as time goes on, and collecting corporation tax is clearly going to be one of those. History can certainly prove one thing: that the worlds wealthiest individual corporations have consistently exploited all international tax loopholes for years now. Whatever commentators like Ben Chu and others are proposing will obviously be much easier to enforce on small- to medium-size businesses, as well as individual traders all of whom have significantly less political leverage (and no invitations to Bilderberg) than the Googles and Facebooks of the world. Post-Bilderberg: G8 Summit Coincidentally, this years G8 in Northern Ireland will be the biggest police operation in countrys history (and thats saying a lot), with an estimated 8,000 officers from the surrounding counties, and from as far as England and Wales, all drafted in to secure the area for what many now believe has essentially become a global government operations meeting in all but name. Other recent attempts at a global tax Although popular in socialist circles, few have dared reveal the true picture of a global tax regime for fear of triggering a public backlash. Other such tax proposals have been pushed into the public sphere through the Occupy Movement in 2011, which called for a global tax on financial transactions, or a global Robin Hood Tax. As was the case in Copenhagen two years earlier, proponents called for a tax structure without borders, yet few dared mention who would be in charge of administering and distributing the revenues. Such plans pose the very real danger of further centralizing power into the international banking community who would be asked to handle and perhaps hypothecate on these enormous slush funds. Which brings us back to this latest global Google Tax proposal, which ultimately begs the question: when will their global government structure be unveiled? Serving the global collective Plans for erecting an entirely new global tax system should worry anyone who values the concept of national sovereignty, because any solution that entails the collection of tax by way of an elite international collective of nations, and where revenues are to divided up fairly between them is suggesting a form of global collectivism, or communism. This is also the fundamental problem with EU plans to levy new taxes on member nations for any citizen its simply another master to serve. It starts with corporate tax, and once that door is opened, its anyones guess how wide their new regime will stretch. Shocking as that may be, these issues are exactly what is being discussed behind closed doors at each of these global summits taking place in May and June of 2013. Whats worse, is that this entire construct could be ushered in without any vote being cast by citizens in the individual countries which is about as undemocratic as it gets. This remains one of the fundamental flaws at the heart of the ultra-liberal utopian ideal which is global government. linkwithin_text=Related Articles:
