Συνέδριο της "συμμαχίας των πρόθυμων" σήμερα και αύριο στη Θεσσαλονίκη

Αν είστε "πρόθυμος" και ορεξάτος να "ανέβετε" στην ιεραρχία της παγκόσμιας διακυβέρνησης, αν οι λέξεις  Ελλάδα, πατρίδα, Μακεδονία σας αηδιάζουν, αν σας ελκύουν οι λέξεις conference, world security, global government και ιδίως η λέξη foundation, έχετε τελειώσει ιδιωτικό κολέγιο (Αμερικανικό κατά προτίμηση), ίσως είναι η ευκαιρία της ζωής σας. Θα γνωριστείτε με Υπουργούς, ακαδημαϊκούς και ίσως σε λίγα χρόνια να είστε κι εσείς ένας από τους καλεσμένους της Bilderberg. Δείτε το πρόγραμμα:
Το συνέδριο γίνεται στο χλιδάτο "The Met hotel" στη Θεσσαλονίκη
