"Coup d'état"

"Coup d'état" is a french word that means "stroke of state". It is used to describe a sudden, extra-legal movement that ends with the deposition of the current government and its replacement by a new body, either civil or military. Usually there is a temporary organism that replaces the deposed government until new government is appointed or elected.

This is the list of countries where new governments were never again appointed or elected and the leader remains the same since taking office.


  • Since 1969 - LIBYA - Leader and Guide of the Revolution: Muammar al-Gaddafi
  • Since 1970 - OMAN - Sultan: Qaboos of Oman
  • Since 1979 - EQUATORIAL GUINEA - President: Teodoro Mbasogo
  • Since 1987 - BURKINA FASO - President:  Blaise Compaoré
  • Since 1987 - TUNISIA - President: Zine Ben Ali
  • Since 1989 - SUDAN - President: Omar al-Bashir
  • Since 1992 - MYANMAR - Chairman of the State Peace and Development Council: Than Shwe
  • Since 1994 - GAMBIA - President: Yahya Jammeh*
  • Since 1995 - QATAR - Emir: Hamad bin Khalifa
  • Since 2003 - CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC - President: François Bozizé*
  • Since 2006 - FIJI - Acting Prime Minister: Frank Bainimarama
  • Since 2008 - MAURITANIA - President: Mohamed Abdel Aziz*
  • Since 2009 - MADAGASCAR - President of the High Transitional Authority: Andry Rajoelina
  • Since 2010 - NIGER - Chairman of the Supreme Council for the Restoration of Democracy: Salou Djibo
* In these cases, leaders were confirmed by post "coup d'état" elections. However, I don't personally consider those legitimate, as so, I still include them in this list.

What Is The Bilderberg Group And Why It Must Be Stopped?


"BILDERBERG GROUP: TOWARDS CREATION OF ONE WORLD COMPANY, LTD."



The above video is the recording of a speech given by investigator and reporter Mr. Daniel Estulin, in a meeting held on 1st June 2010 in European Parliament HQ in Brussels. This speech was part of a presentation titled "Bilderberg Group - Towards creation of World One Company Ltd.". This presentation as well as Mr. Estulin presence were requested by MEP Mario Borghezio. 
A thorough search of parliament archives revealed to me, that this is not unknown theme in Brussels. Bilderberg questions started to pop in December 1998 (this is as far as the on-line records go) by Irish MEP, Patricia McKenna. I've found that between 1998 and now, 24 written and 2 oral questions were submitted to the Commission by eight MEP's, namely, Patricia McKenna (IE), Mario Borghezio (IT), Esko Seppänen (FI), Robert Kilroy-Silk (UK), Jeffrey Titford (UK), Nick Griffin (UK) and David Campbell Bannerman (UK).
In these questions several actual and former Commissioners were referred as attendants in Bilderberg meetings, namely Emma Bonino (IT), Hans van den Broek (NL), Leon Brittan (UK), Ritt Bjerregard (DK), Mario Monti (IT), Erkki Likanen (FI), Frederik Bolkestein (NL), Solbes Mira (ES), Gunter Verheugen (DE),  Chris Patten (UK), António Vitorino (PT), Neelie Kroes (NL), Javier Solana (ES), Pierre de Boissieu (FR).
Also referred was former ECB executive member and euro "creator", Tommaso Schioppa (IT); and former and actual Commission presidents, Romano Prodi (IT) and Durão Barroso (PT).
Most of the referred attendance were confirmed in answers given by Jacques Santer and Durão Barroso on behalf of the Commission. Also, Mr. Barroso confirmed his own participation in 2005 meeting in answer given last August (here).
