- Big Jim Tucker
James P. (Jim or Big Jim) Tucker, Jr. is an American journalist who, since
1975 , has focused on exposing the controversialBilderberg Group . Initially, he was skeptical about the existence of the organization.After working for various newspapers, Tucker started writing for the controversial
newspaper "The Spotlight " in the early 70's until its closure in2001 . Shortly after the paper's closure, Tucker and many former "Spotlight" employees founded the similarly-toned "American Free Press .Tucker's efforts to infiltrate the
1999 Bilderberg meeting at the Hotel Caesar Park in Sintra,Portugal were chronicled by British reporterJon Ronson in his book, "" and broadcast as part of Channel 4's "Secret Rulers of the World " [http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3725493129921826227&q=secret+rulers+of+the+world] series. Ronson, Tucker, and a cameraman waited at the hotel for several hours with no activity. Ronson admitted to growing skepticism about whether anything would happen when a number of people began arriving. One member of the crew claims he recognizedPeter Mandelson , the Commissioner of the European Union for Trade sitting in a bus that was entering the hotel property.Jim Tucker's planned midnight raid on the hotel was called off. Ronson noted with sad irony that even though executives from tobacco companies were probably inside, it was Tucker's sixty-
cigarette -a-day habit (and likely his advancing age — the late 60's at the time), that forced him to cancel.Later, Ronson, Tucker, and the cameraman were allegedly tailed by what Tucker believed was a Bilderberg security team. Ronson was shaken so badly by the experience that he called the British Embassy asking for assistance.
In this episode, Tucker revealed a photo of him standing next to former British prime minister
Margaret Thatcher . Tucker claimed he asked her about the Bilderbergers' role in her ouster. According to Tucker, Thatcher said that she considered it a tribute to be denounced by them. "Any head of state who'd surrender his sovereignty to some international organization should not be head of state".Jim Tucker also relates an incident where he asked
Henry Kissinger about a particular conversation he had with another man at a previous meeting. According to Tucker, a startled Kissinger forgot to affect his thick German accent and angrily insisted that "that was a private meeting!" Once Kissinger realized his "faux pas ", he repeated himself with his familiar accent.In
2005 , Tucker wrote "Jim Tucker's Bilderberg Diary", a book chronicling his thirty-plus years of exposing the Bilderberg Group.He is featured prominently in Alex Jones'
2007 documentary, "", which partially deals with the2006 Bilderberg conference at the Brookstreet Hotel in Ottawa,Canada . It was here that a "mole" employed by Tucker gave him a list of attendees. He noted that there's usually a few attendees whose names are not on the list. Alex Jones claims he was told that formerFirst Lady and current Democratic Party presidental candidateHillary Rodham Clinton attended for one-half day and entered the hotel via its underground parking garage out of view of the media covering the event.External links
