"The True Story of the Bilderberg Group" undergoes fact check by publisher

“Regularly, what is discussed there, within a short period of time, 'miraculously' becomes a reality,” Millegan wrote in an announcement of a free appearance by Estulin this Saturday at Eugene's Tsunami Books.

TrineDay published the American version of Estulin's European best-selling expose, Millegan said, because decisions made at the elite gatherings “hugely affects the lives of Americans, yet these hidden conclaves are held with no press reports, even though media owners and high-level working press attend.”

Now in it's third printing, the U.S. version of “Bilderberg Group” is already TrineDay's most financially successful title, having sold more than 30,000 copies to date, Millegan said.

After Estulin's Eugene appearance, Millegan will accompany him to Hollywood where they will jointly announce a related movie deal.

In the book, first published in Spain in 2005, Estulin contends that an elite international group — which purportedly includes Bill Clinton, Henry Kissinger, the king of Spain, presidents of the world's largest corporations and financial organizations, and others — authorized the 2003 invasion of Iraq at their 2002 meeting in Virginia.

He said the group is now discussing plans for a North American Union, to include the United States, Canada and Mexico, yet operates in virtual secrecy.

As for fact-checking a book that relies in part on anonymous sources, Millegan said he felt somewhat comfortable publishing the U.S. version because it had already sold more than 1.5 million copies worldwide in 30 languages.

“A book doesn't sell a million and a half copies unless readers find a substance there that they want to share with other people,” he said, adding that Estulin predicted both oil hitting $100 barrel and this year's mortgage crisis based on his Bilderberg group reporting.
