Bilderberg

Edward Littlejohn was active in the early arrangements ('master minding') of the second and third Bilderberg Conferences, as this letter from fellow Bilderberger John Ferguson shows. (George= George Ball) Bilderberg littlejohn2.png

And this letter from general C. D. Jackson to Littlejohn, were the Americans believe Józef Retinger is a British 'secret agent'.
