What is Bilderberg's Conspiracy?

Most conspiracy theorists are considered in a negative way. But conspiracies have been around since power was invented and some of them do really exist, or did, like the Gunpowder Plot in 17^th century England or the MKULTRA master plan in the US in the fifties last century. So, what about our modern time conspiracies? Most of them seem to be just bullshit but there is a couple which turned out to be… true. Let’s check the first one:  

The Bilderberg Group: What would you say if you knew that the most important business people and the most influential politicians and tentative authorities in the Western world have met once a year for half a century uninterruptedly? Have you ever heard of them in the media? Never! Why? Let them explain: “It was felt that regular, off-the-record discussions would help create a better understanding of the complex forces and major trends affecting Western nations in the difficult post-war period.” No media, no reporters, so far. However, their meeting this year (2012) held in Chantilly, Virginia, USA from 31 May - 3 June, had media attention. Two reporters Vendeline von Bredow, and  Adrian D.Wooldridge both from The Economist attended the meeting to report about the subjects and the conclusions reached, but without mentioning who said anything. You can access their webpage here: http://www.bilderbergmeetings.org/index.html

Now, what’s wrong with these meetings? What would you say about an attendee who later on was appointed as an authority in Europe or America? What if they are really arranging things to their benefit against nations’ welfare? Against our rights as free people? You do not need to be a conspiracy theorist to understand this. 

ELT Approaches Controversy: How should a target language be taught?



The first time I was assigned to a class, I felt quite nervous and didn't know what to say in my first lesson. I had some experience 'cause I replaced some teachers before but just followed the instructions from the coursebook and other ones given by the institution. Though, I wanted to apply everything I learnt from my Methodology Courses. But the real thing was far from my ideas about an ideal class. So I asked myself: What's the right way to teach a target language?

Where there was once consensus on the “right” way to teach foreign languages, many teachers now share the belief that a single right way does not exist. It is certainly true that no comparative study has consistently demonstrated the superiority of one method over another for all teachers, all students and all settings.

We've learnt different approaches like the Grammar-Translation Method, Direct Method, Audio-Lingual Method, Gattegno's Silent Way, Lozanov's Suggestopedia, Community Language Learning, TPR method, and The Communicative Approach. 

But times have changed a lot. Now we have to deal with the hegemony of two major approaches: The triple P or PPP (Presentation, Practice and Production) versus the newcomer "the Task-based Approach". 

Most of our language teachers believe that the fundamental purpose of learning English is to be able to read English literature, rewrite some exercises from the textbooks and fill some blank spaces in exam papers. Fictional language is considered superior to spoken language.

But how do things really develop when we prepare our classes? Some teachers prefer to practice one of the methods to the exclusion of others. Other teachers prefer to pick and choose in a principled way among the methodological options that exist, creating their own unique blend. 

So, I did that. I prepared my unique blend; I was eclectic, and I've continued doing it so far. Thus, after ten years or more, I believe we need to adapt our lessons to the students' way of learning, and not the other way round. That's been my way of teaching.

What about your way? And how did you feel on your first day as an English teacher?

When films "leak" the clues (Part 2)

I've already told you about how Argentinean economist Walter Graziano started his overwhelming journey to unveil the truth beneath official world history. It was because of the cinema. Yup! That almost-mystical pleasure gave him the chance to discover a real detail that was hidden to the masses. I didn't fully realise or care about it until the very same thing happened to me as well.


Some time ago, I was watching a James Bond film on the internet. It was Daniel Craig's first James Bond film, to wit, Casino Royale. I couldn't watch it when it was on the cinemas in my city.

Anyhow, on one scene at the beginning of the film, Bond talks to 'M' (Judy Dench), who reveals that angloamerican secret agencies had top-secret information about strange shares sales that belonged to the airlines attacked on the 9/11 terrorist strikes long before they occurred. 

And then, when reflecting on this "leaked" detail shown on this film, I had a recollection on reading something related on Graziano's and Estulin's books. In fact, those share sales really existed, regarding United Airlines and American Airlines stock exchange shares sales, much before the terrorist attacks. How did those stock exchange moguls know those airlines' shares would plonk in the near future? How unless they did have that precious information regarding the irreversible damage to those airlines because of their involvement in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. 

And, of course, those stock exchange moguls are not Islamist neither Al-Qaeda party members. Everything is related to well-known western stock exchange agencies. Needless to say that the American government have kept in secret the real identity of those moguls away from the public.

When films "leak" the clues (Part 1)

Some years ago, I read Argentinean economist Walter Graziano's book, "Hitler Ganó la Guerra" (Hitler won the war). It includes an odd anecdote on what motivated him to set out for his thrilling research adventure and following book release. He said that it was because of going to the cinema that he got this interest in deepening on a measly detail shown on a film, to wit, "A Beautiful Mind", in which actor Russel Crowe starred as mathematician John Nash, who stated that he discovered Adam Smith, father of modern economy, was wrong regarding his individualist economic theory. In the same scene, Princeton University Dean, Mr. Herlinger, expressed astonishingly after getting to know these discoveries that more than a-century-and-a-half work on economic theory had vanished. After researching on this piece of information, Graziano stumbled across a terrible fact: this piece of information about the failure of individualism and free market ideologies was true, not an illussion or fantasy by the film's screenplay writer. And, thus, Graziano set out for this exciting adventure into untangling the "history" imposed to us but that we know it is not real at all.

These Graziano's eye-opener book topics are better discussed on his second material, to wit, "Nadie Vio Matrix" (Nobody watched Matrix), which gives us clues to realise that there is an elite of eminent, aged aristocratic families handling west powers, the "free" world, to its own benefit and which has got a global agenda entailing the most dreadful goals in order to overcome and control human society as it pleases.

By that very time, I got Daniel Estulin's book "The Secrets of Bilderberg Club" on my hands, which provided a remarkable bibliography which may interest everyone who is really into knowing the truth about the world's panorama and thus fully understanding the current events that are appalling us.

I wouldn't recommend reading any sophomoric, hollow book or document. But both authors provide high quality information I am sure it will set up your journey on this overwhelming adventure for discovering the truth inside our worldwide history.
