TORONTO, June 1st -- THE TORONTO STAR continued its unprecedented coverage of the
     secretive 1996 Bilderberg meeting with a large full-colour aerial photograph of the private $60
     million resort ranch which is the site of their conference prominently displayed across the front
     page of the paper's Business Section. The bold print caption read HEAVY SECRECY AT VIP
     CENTRAL.

     The Bilderbergers, an elite, publicity-shy group of 120 of the world's wealthiest and most
     influential people, meet annually in different parts of the world for private discussions. No list
     of attendees is usually released, no agenda is published, and the participants are sworn to
     secrecy. Bilderberger meetings are not usually even mentioned by the major media.

     The TORONTO STAR's persistent and professional coverage of this story has been
     record-breaking in several ways: they are the first major newspaper ever to scrutinize a
     Bilderberg Conference in such a courageous and critical fashion; their coverage has resulted in
     the first-ever listing of attendees at an on-going Conference; and they appear to have prompted
     a Bilderberg spokesman, for the first time in the organization's secretive history, to produce an
     "agenda" for the elite group's discussions. Since journalists are barred from the meetings,
     however, and since no final decisions are ever released to the Press, there is of course no way
     in which the accuracy or completeness of such an agenda can be verified.

     Conference participants include European royalty; major international financiers and
     supranational agency chairmen; key U.S., Canadian and European politicians; a representative
     of President Clinton [who was "anointed" for the Presidency by the Bilderbergers at their 1991
     Baden-Baden meeting, which he attended]; and assorted titans of industry and commerce.

     Their four-day, private and closely-guarded meeting at the Canadian Imperial Bank of
     Commerce's luxurious King Ranch "leadership centre", outside King City, just north of
     Toronto, ends on June 2nd.

     Toronto and other media were first alerted to this well-concealed meeting by Press Releases
     from the Toronto-based NEW WORLD ORDER INTELLIGENCE UPDATE, the Web page
     address for which is http://www.inforamp.net/~jwhitley .

     In a separate story headined BILDERBERG SECRECY LID INTACT, John Deverell, a
     business reporter for the TORONTO STAR, noted that "THE SPOTLIGHT, a right-wing
     populist newsweekly based in Washington, D.C., for example, claims that Bilderberg is part of
     a larger scheme to squelch nationalism in Europe and the United States, and establish a
     European superstate that will join an 'America Union and an Asia-Pacific Union'".

     For example, financial titan David Rockefeller, who is attending the meeting, has expressed a
     desire to see NAFTA spread "from Alaska to Chile."

     Deverell also quotes an lengthy Internet summary on the Bilderbergers posted by Brian
     Redman, which included the assertion that "The role of the Bilderberg group is a one-world
     totalitarian, socialist government and economic system." Brian is a frequent and
     highly-respected Internet contributor.

     This assertion, as noted in yesterday's Press Release, has been confirmed by Professor Carroll
     Quigley, a distinguished member of the faculty of Georgetown University School of Foreign
     Service, in his revealing 1966 book, TRAGEDY AND HOPE. The massive 1300-page
     scholarly volume was abruptly withdrawn by Macmillan months after being published.
     Professor Quigley, who was associated with this group, has been spoken of in terms of
     adulation by one of his most prominent ex- students, President Bill Clinton, who has said
     repeatedly and publicly that Quigley shaped his view of the world. Professor Quigley was in
     agreement with the aims of the Bilderbergers, and supported them.

     Journalists seeking detailed background information on the Bilderberg and its members will
     find an excellent, detailed article on the organization at the NEXUS MAGAZINE Web site, the
     address of which is http://www.peg.apc.org/~nexus/ [this site is also mirrored, for
     U.S. and Canadian readers, at http://www.icom.net/~nexus/]: scroll down the first,

     '96 Issue of Nexus Magazine.

     As reported in our previous Press Releases, THE NEW WORLD ORDER INTELLIGENCE
     UPDATE has also learned from its own sources that one of the items on the agenda of this
     year's Bilderberg Conference is a prearranged Unilateral Declaration of Independence by
     Quebec, leading to the breakup of Canada and its eventual absorbtion into Continental Union
     with the United States by the year 2005. We anticipate, for a variety of reasons, that this UDI
     will be declared between February and April, 1997.

     When we first shared information on the planned destruction of Canada with Canadian
     journalists and media outlets, over three years ago, it was greeted with incredulity. However,
     since then our assertions have been confirmed in virtually every detail from an entirely
     unexpected direction.

     Lansing Lamont, for 10 years Managing Director of the Canadian Desk of the Americas
     Society [a Rockefeller organization] published a 1994 book entitled BREAKUP: THE
     COMING END OF CANADA AND THE STATES FOR AMERICA. In a chaper entitled
     "ADIEAU QUEBEC" he confirmed to the last detail every one of our prior assertions, which
     had been drawn from other, unimpeachable private sources.

     The scenario basically is as follows:

     * Quebec declares UDI. This removes the impediment otherwise faced in attempting to merge
     a bi-lingual country [Canada] with a uni-lingual one [the U.S.], even as it provides the trigger
     for the catastrophic and irreversible breakup of Canada.

     * the Cree indians, unwilling to remain in an independent Quebec, rise up in the Ungava
     Rebellion, appeal to the Canadian government to honour Crown treaties with the Cree, and
     attempt to retain their lands and loyalty to Canada.

     * a three-way civil war erupts, involving the Cree, Quebec and Canadian Forces. The Cree
     seize the massive James Bay hydro-generating facilities in Northern Quebec and sabotage
     them, causing massive power outages in Quebec which ripple through the grid down the entire
     east coast of North America.

     * the U.S. government, under heavy pressure at home, sends the U.S. Army's 10th Mountain
     Division, a crack 10,000 shock assault Division permanently stationed at Fort Drum, N.Y.,
     just south of the international bridge near Cornwall, Ontario, into Canada to "assist" the
     overwhelmed Canadian forces and to "re-take" James Bay.

     * at the conclusion of the conflict, the massive James Bay fresh-water reservoir [which, at 500
     miles by 121 miles, fed by 20 Arctic rivers, is the largest in the world] and the huge
     hydro-electrical generating facilities are purchased from the Cree, on whose land they are, for
     "pennies on the dollar" by the elite-backed GRAND CANAL CORPORATION, some of
     whose owners are Bilderbergers.

     * Canadians, dispirited by a shattered country, are offered a new "National Dream" - the
     construction of the massive GRAND CANAL infrastructure, which will channel James Bay
     fresh water to the Great Lakes, from there to go down the Mississippi and other river systems
     to Texas and northern Mexico; a second section will funnel water out of Lake Superior
     westward to Lake Diefenbaker and the Rafferty-Almeda dams, from where it will be piped
     down to the dry southwestern states. The continuing profits will be astronomical.

     * Canada, by now broken up into regions, will slowly drift into the embrace of the United
     States by 2005, in full Continental Union. The crippling public debt associated with GRAND
     CANAL construction will have impoverished the nation indescribably and will have led to a
     series of financial crises.

     Though he was apparently careful not to mention the massive GRAND CANAL project and its
     backers, Lamont confirmed the outline above in every other key detail.

     Since the NEW WORLD ORDER INTELLIGENCE UPDATE editor extensively publicized
     this huge secret water-diversion scheme on the Internet, during the last Quebec Referendum
     campaign, the elite appear to have modified their strategy. As one of his last official acts before
     resigning, Quebec Premier Jacques Parizeau announced that the final, essential dam project in
     the James Bay reservoir system had been cancelled. A subsequent Hydro Quebec Press
     Release later modified that statement by saying that it had been "postponed until after 2005."

     Those recipents of the printed edition of this Press Release who still find this too incredible to
     believe should examine with care the accompanying maps of the entire GRAND CANAL
     project drawn from ex-Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa's book, POWER FROM THE
     NORTH.
     Bourassa was reported by the reliable WASHINGTON OBSERVER NEWSLETTER to have
     attended the 1971 Bilderberg Conference at the Rockefeller-owned Woodstock Inn, in
     Vermont, along with Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. His book appeared after that meeting.

     Interested journalists can find background documents and interviews on the GRAND CANAL
     project and the breakup of Canada archived at Jeff Koftinoff's excellent GRAND CANAL web
     site at:

     When decisions and projects of this magnitude are being discussed, Bilderberger secrecy is not
     a luxury but a necessity!
