Bilderberg Post Mortem: What Is the Trump-Pompeo-Kushner-Bilderberg Connection All About?
Written by William F. Jasper
Another Bilderberg conference has come and gone and, as usual, the controlled Fake News Media (FNM) has provided protective cover for the super-secret confab of the high and mighty. This year’s palaver of princelings, plutocrats, and potentates took place May 30-June 2 at the Hotel Montreux Palace in Montreux, Switzerland. The collective “mainstream” media response was summed up in the article title “Bilderberg Meeting 2019: Nothing to See Here; Move Along” at The New American.
When not ignoring the signal event completely, the presstitutes of the Fourth Estate dependably delivered snarky, sneering, snickering commentary on the supposed lunacy of “conspiracy theorists” who insist on seeing something sinister in the super-secret gathering of the uber-elites. “Secretary of State Mike Pompeo headed to Europe on Thursday as part of another bid to build support for the U.S. government’s pressure campaign against Iran,” the Washington Post reported on May 30. “But there is one stop en route that is sure to interest those who are more conspiratorially minded: Pompeo’s side trip to the secretive Bilderberg Meeting.”
Secretary Pompeo’s name had not appeared on the official list of attendees released on the Bilderberg website on May 28. Among the federal officials who were listed were Jared Kushner, President Trump’s senior adviser (and also his son-in-law), and national security and defense officials Matthew Pottinger, James O. Ellis, James H. Baker, and Matthew Daniels.

Of course not, say the talking heads. “Pay no attention, resume your diversions,” the FNM choir chimes in unison. Nevermind that we’re watching conspiracy reality in real time, as Deep State operatives escalate their blatant and unprecedented coup d’etat efforts to remove President Trump. The totally discredited Fake News Media keeps chirping “conspiracy theory, conspiracy theory” at anyone who dares to point out the obvious dangers of power wedded to secrecy. “Speaking truth to power” is a favorite meme of progressives and globalists, but it is merely an empty phrase for most of them when it comes to actually speaking truth about the despotic, power-mad schemes of the Big Banking-Big Business-Big Tech-Big Labor-Big Government elites whom they serve.
We exaggerate not. For those who have been asleep for the past three years, or whose occupational/recreational activities have made them oblivious to the blatant treason threatening to scuttle the Republic, we can offer here only the briefest of reviews. (For more details see the articles linked below.) There is, first of all, of course, the Trump-Putin Collusion/Conspiracy hoax, that all but paralyzed the new administration, and was intended to result in a total takedown of President Trump. However, the Clinton-Comey-Obama-Brennan-Clapper-Mueller-CIA-FBI-CNN-MSNBC-New York Times-Washington Post Deep State team failed miserably in that monumental scam, and Special Counsel Mueller was forced to admit in his long-awaited report that he had found no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion.
But while the Mueller witch hunt (as President Trump accurately called it) dragged out, Democrats in Congress were daily dreaming up new schemes to remove the duly-elected president of the United States on the most risible of pretexts, such as invoking the 25th Amendment under the guise of claims that President Trump is mentally unstable. Then there are the incessant calls for impeachment, starting before he even took his Oath of Office. First, it was because of the “Russia collusion,” but since that has been proven false, the impeachment campaigners have attempted to hang their case on the equally threadbare “obstruction of justice” charges. In addition, there’s the daily media lynching Donald Trump has gotten since before he even entered the Oval Office.
And scant days before this year's Bilderberg affair commenced in Switzerland, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi resurrected the 25th Amendment ploy. Following a meeting with the president on May 23, Speaker Pelosi accused Trump of throwing a “tantrum” during their meeting, although the president insisted he had been “extremely calm.” Pelosi said his alleged erratic behavior indicated the need for “an intervention.” Asked by reporters what she meant, the speaker stated: "Article 25. That’s a good idea.”
Then, only three days following the conclusion of Bilderberg, Senator Rand Paul was asked on CNN to comment on a New York Times story reporting that former CIA chief John Brennan still has his security clearance, despite President Trump’s order to revoke it months ago. “Well, this is what worries me,” Senator Paul said. “People talk about the Deep State. Now, the Deep State is actually protecting their own and not listening to the president's orders.”
As we have reported, members of the Trump administration even boast that they are sabotaging the president from the inside!
What type of power protects insubordinate government employees to enable them to openly defy the president of the United States in the lawful exercise of his constitutional authority? What type of protection not only encourages treason, but even promotes audacious traitors who boast of their treason? Well, that’s where we come to Bilderberg, which exemplifies the darkest corners of the Deep State. No other gathering of the world’s super-elite movers and shakers generates the type of interest and concern as does the annual Bilderberg conclave. That’s understandable, considering the wealth, power, and influence represented by the participants, and the closely guarded secrecy enshrouding their meetings. Bilderberg’s annual roster brings together top-level politicos and government ministers with the titans of industry and finance — such as the leaders of Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Royal Dutch Shell, Kissinger Associates, Daimler, etc. — and the maestros of media manipulation, such as the Washington Post, WarnerMedia (formerly Time Warner), The Economist, Bloomberg News, NBC, and the Financial Times. Any sober, eyes-wide-open review of geo-political developments over the past several decades would show that Bilderberg has become a key coordinating event for the ruling global oligarchy, the shadow world government, the Deep State.
As we have reported in previous articles, since its founding in 1954 the Bilderberg gatherings have preceded many political and economic shakeups of historical magnitude involving Bilderberg participants. The following is a short list of the “coincidental” accomplishments on the Bilderberg scorecard:
* 1991 — Little-known Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton attended Bilderberg; he was elevated to the White House the following year;
* 1993 — Tony Blair, a minor opposition member of the Labour Party, attended Bilderberg before being boosted to become Britain’s prime minister;
* 1997 — First Lady Hillary Clinton attended Bilderberg, setting up her anointing for a future White House run;
* 1999 — Member nations of the EU were shackled with the euro currency, a major blow to their national sovereignty. Belgian industrialist and Bilderberg chair Etienne Davignon (also an EU commissioner) admitted in a 2009 interview that Bilderberg members played a key role in pushing adoption of the euro;
* 2005 — Angela Merkel’s attendance at Bilderberg was followed by promotion to chancellor of Germany and media promotion to de facto “leader of Europe” and “most powerful woman in the world”;
* 2008 — Newly minted Senator Barack Obama reportedly attended the Chantilly, Virginia, Bilderberg meeting before his meteoric rise. He has been evasive about his attendance, neither confirming nor denying the reports;
* 2009 — Virtually unknown Belgian politician Herman Van Rompuy attended Bilderberg and was then catapulted to president of the European Commission;
* 2011 — Goldman Sachs banker Mark Carney attended Bilderberg and was subsequently promoted to governor of the Bank of England;
* 2011 — Bilderberg pulled off a double coup in Italy, ousting Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and putting the two Bilderberg/Goldman Sachs alums into power: Mario Monti as the new Italian prime minister and Mario Draghi as head of the European Central Bank (ECB). It caused a huge row in Italy and throughout Europe known as “the bankers coup d’etat” or “the Bilderberg Mario Brothers coup.”
* 2014 — Political “outsider” Emmanuel Macron, a former Rothschild banker, attended Bilderberg, starting a quick political ascent that took him to the presidency of France in 2017;
* 2016 — Bilderberg members took central roles in “Project Fear I” and “Project Fear II”, the desperate propaganda effort to stop Brexit. (See also here and here.)
In 2010, former NATO secretary-general, former Belgian foreign minister, and Bilderberg member Willy Claes revealed, during an interview on Belgian radio, that, the usual denials notwithstanding, Bilderberg meetings do aim at setting international policy. At the end of each annual gathering, he said, a report is printed of the presentations and a copy of the report is given to each attendee. “The participants are then obviously considered to use this report in setting their policies in the environments in which they affect,” he said.

The short, identifying bios of participants provided by Bilderberg can be deceptive in their brevity. Eric Schmidt, the former chairman of Google and former chairman of Alphabet, Inc. (which is now Google’s parent company), for instance, is identified merely as “technical advisor” to Alphabet. Billionaire Schmidt is much more than that, of course. He is also, for example, a major investor in The Groundwork, the campaign tech firm that boosted Hillary Clinton in 2016 (along with Google doctoring its search engine results to assist Clinton and hurt Trump ). Besides being a member of the globalist Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) — like many, if not most, of the other American Bilderberg attendees — Schmidt is chairman of the Pentagon’s Defense Innovation Advisory Board. He was appointed to head that creation of the Obama administration by Obama’s Secretary of Defense Ash Carter (a CFR director). Serving with Schmidt on that high-level cyber-defense-tech board are Reid Hoffman (Bilderberg, CFR, co-founder of LinkedIn), William H. McRaven (CFR, retired four-star admiral, former commander of the U.S. Special Operations Command), Walter Isaacson (CFR, former president and CEO Aspen Institute, former chairman and CEO of CNN, former managing editor of Time), Cass Sunstein (Obama’s Regulatory Czar and “Nudge Squad” social-engineering guru), and Eric S. Lander (CFR, co-founder of the Broad Institute at MIT and Harvard).
Schmidt is also chairman of the U.S. National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, along with techie bigwigs Andrew Moore (head of Google Cloud AI), Andy Jassy, CEO of Amazon Web Services, Safra Catz (CEO of Oracle), Chris Darby (CEO of In-Q-Tel, the CIA’s venture capital company), Jason Matheny (former director of the U.S. Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity, IARPA), Eric Horvitz (director of Microsoft Research Labs), Mignon Clyburn (former FCC commissioner and now a fellow at George Soros’ Open Society Foundation).
It requires no great stretch of the imagination (or wingnut certification) to foresee that Schmidt’s business and government connections, together with his great wealth, influence, and globalist political bent provides automatic conflict-of-interest concerns when he meets in secret with similarly connected one-worlders.
Let’s look at another Bilderberg veteran, Robert Rubin, whose Bilderberg bio identifies him as “Co-Chairman Emeritus, Council on Foreign Relations; Former Treasury Secretary." There’s more to it than that, of course. Prior to entering “public service” as treasury secretary under Bill Clinton, he served for nearly three decades as a bankster at Goldman Sachs, rising to become a member of the board and co-chairman of the financial behemoth. Then, following his “service” as fox in charge of the chicken coop, he went back through the revolving door to Wall Street to become chairman of Citigroup, one of the Big Banking culprits most responsible for the 2008-2009 financial collapse and the bank that received the biggest taxpayer bailout ($476 Billion, not the mere $45 billion usually reported).
For his key role in creating the mortgage debacle, Rubin was rewarded with $126 million in bonuses. But we’re supposed to look past that because, when testifying before a congressional panel investigating the causes of the financial crisis Rubin expressed “deep regret” over his failure to foresee the obvious consequences of Citigroup’s unethical and unconscionable practices. (Did Rubin, Citigroup CEO Chuck Prince, and Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein high-five each other, clink martinis, and have a good laugh afterwards concerning their performances of feigned contrition regarding their roles in the crisis? Probably).
Then there’s Stacey Abrams. Her inclusion among this year’s Bilderberg elites would seem totally out of place, except that she is filling a slot that is traditionally set aside for relatively minor politicians who are being considered for promotion as future global leaders. Think Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Emmanuel Macron, Angela Merkel. As we note in our recent article "Stacey Abrams Joins Globalist Elite, Anointed by CFR, Bilderberg Group," Abrams is being boosted by the CFR, the Aspen Institute, the Brookings Institution, and other globalist groups, including, naturally, the leading opinionators of the FNM. However, after lavishing her with millions of dollars of free, adulatory publicity during her recent gubernatorial run in Georgia, her media cheerleaders have maintained a wall of silence concerning her Bilderberg appearance, arguably her most notable accomplishment to date.
Bilderberg agenda 2019
So, what did the Bilderbergers talk about for three-four days? Here are the official agenda topicsprovided by the Bilderberg press office:
1. A Stable Strategic Order
2. What Next for Europe?
3. Climate Change and Sustainability
4. China
5. Russia
6. The Future of Capitalism
7. Brexit
8. The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence
9. The Weaponisation of Social Media
10. The Importance of Space
11. Cyber Threats
Again, for public consumption, those were the official topics for discussion. Only those in attendance know whether the conference adhered to this agenda and, if so, what, if any, “consensus” was arrived at on these important subjects. So far, none of them are commenting publicly; the Bilderberg oath of Omerta (code of silence) appears to be holding. However, based upon current and past statements, actions, and policies of the Bilderberg elite in both the public and private sectors, there is little question that they will continue pushing collectively in all of these areas to advance further centralization of power and, ultimately, world government.
In 2016, we reported ("Bilderberg Elites: Stop Trump, Boost Hillary; Stop Brexit, Boost Migration") based on the statements and actions of Bilderberg participants, that the top objectives of the group would be to stop Trump and stop Brexit, while simultaneously supporting Hillary Clinton’s White House bid and keeping the Muslim “refugee” tsunami rolling into Europe. Following Donald Trump’s upset election, many Bilderberg watchers were dumbfounded to see top Trump administration officials attending the 2017 Bilderberg affair. Of particular concern was the presence at Bilderberg of General H. R. McMaster, President Trump’s national security advisor, who is a longtime globalist and CFR member. Accompanying him was Nadia Schadlow (CFR), his assistant at NSC. As we reported in January of 2018 ("The McMaster Cabal: Lead Operatives in the Deep State Coup Effort to Oust Trump"), the McMaster-Schadlow duo did everything possible to sabotage and oust the president. Subsequently, they were both forced out of the Trump administration. However, Schadlow, who is now a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, was back again this year at Bilderberg.
Perhaps the biggest question in the Trump/Bilderberg bag of mysteries is Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, who serves as a senior advisor to the president. Kushner, who is married to Ivanka Trump, has close ties to top Goldman Sachs hands and, reportedly, played a key role in the appointments of CFR/Goldman Sachs operatives Anthony Scaramucchi, Dina Habbib Powell, and others to high-level posts in the Trump administration. The American members of Bilderberg, especially as represented by the CFR and Goldman Sachs, are globalists, internationalists, one-worlders. President Trump claims to be a nationalist, an unapologetic advocate of “America First,” a term CFR globalists scorn. “In the entire CFR lexicon, there is no term of revulsion carrying a meaning so deep as America First,” said the late U.S. Admiral Chester Ward, who served as the Judge Advocate General of the U.S. Navy and was a CFR member for 16 years before resigning in disgust. “The main purpose of the Council on Foreign Relations is promoting the disarmament of U.S. sovereignty and national independence, and submergence into an all-powerful one-world government,” Admiral Ward warned more than four decades ago. That purpose has not changed. And the CFR-Bilderberg camarilla most certainly has dark strategems planned for the days, weeks, and months ahead. So why did Jared Kushner and other Trump advisers attend Bilderberg? And why — for the third year in a row — did President Trump give his apparent blessing to this participation of his top officials in a cabal of globalist schemers that is attempting to destroy both him and our Republic?

Another Bilderberg conference has come and gone and, as usual, the controlled Fake News Media (FNM) has provided protective cover for the super-secret confab of the high and mighty. This year’s palaver of princelings, plutocrats, and potentates took place May 30-June 2 at the Hotel Montreux Palace in Montreux, Switzerland.

Secretary Pompeo’s name had not appeared on the official list of attendees released on the Bilderberg website on May 28. Among the federal officials who were listed were Jared Kushner, President Trump’s senior adviser (and also his son-in-law), and national security and defense officials Matthew Pottinger, James O. Ellis, James H. Baker, and Matthew Daniels.

But while the Mueller witch hunt (as President Trump accurately called it) dragged out, Democrats in Congress were daily dreaming up new schemes to remove the duly-elected president of the United States on the most risible of pretexts, such as invoking the 25th Amendment under the guise of claims that President Trump is mentally unstable.

What type of power protects insubordinate government employees to enable them to openly defy the president of the United States in the lawful exercise of his constitutional authority? What type of protection not only encourages treason, but even promotes audacious traitors who boast of their treason? Well, that’s where we come to Bilderberg, which exemplifies the darkest corners of the Deep State. No other gathering of the world’s super-elite movers and shakers generates the type of interest and concern as does the annual Bilderberg conclave. That’s understandable, considering the wealth, power, and influence represented by the participants, and the closely guarded secrecy enshrouding their meetings. Bilderberg’s annual roster brings together top-level politicos and government ministers with the titans of industry and finance — such as the leaders of Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Royal Dutch Shell, Kissinger Associates, Daimler, etc. — and the maestros of media manipulation, such as the Washington Post, WarnerMedia (formerly Time Warner), The Economist, Bloomberg News, NBC, and the Financial Times. Any sober, eyes-wide-open review of geo-political developments over the past several decades would show that Bilderberg has become a key coordinating event for the ruling global oligarchy, the shadow world government, the Deep State.

The short, identifying bios of participants provided by Bilderberg can be deceptive in their brevity. Eric Schmidt, the former chairman of Google and former chairman of Alphabet, Inc. (which is now Google’s parent company), for instance, is identified merely as “technical advisor” to Alphabet. Billionaire Schmidt is much more than that, of course. He is also, for example, a major investor in The Groundwork, the campaign tech firm that boosted Hillary Clinton in 2016 (along with Google doctoring its search engine results to assist Clinton and hurt Trump ).

Lander (CFR, co-founder of the Broad Institute at MIT and Harvard).
Schmidt is also chairman of the U.S. National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, along with techie bigwigs Andrew Moore (head of Google Cloud AI), Andy Jassy, CEO of Amazon Web Services, Safra Catz (CEO of Oracle), Chris Darby (CEO of In-Q-Tel, the CIA’s venture capital company), Jason Matheny (former director of the U.S. Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity, IARPA), Eric Horvitz (director of Microsoft Research Labs), Mignon Clyburn (former FCC commissioner and now a fellow at George Soros’ Open Society Foundation).
It requires no great stretch of the imagination (or wingnut certification) to foresee that Schmidt’s business and government connections, together with his great wealth, influence, and globalist political bent provides automatic conflict-of-interest concerns when he meets in secret with similarly connected one-worlders.
Let’s look at another Bilderberg veteran, Robert Rubin, whose Bilderberg bio identifies him as “Co-Chairman Emeritus, Council on Foreign Relations; Former Treasury Secretary." There’s more to it than that, of course. Prior to entering “public service” as treasury secretary under Bill Clinton, he served for nearly three decades as a bankster at Goldman Sachs, rising to become a member of the board and co-chairman of the financial behemoth. Then, following his “service” as fox in charge of the chicken coop, he went back through the revolving door to Wall Street to become chairman of Citigroup, one of the Big Banking culprits most responsible for the 2008-2009 financial collapse and the bank that received the biggest taxpayer bailout ($476 Billion, not the mere $45 billion usually reported).
For his key role in creating the mortgage debacle, Rubin was rewarded with $126 million in bonuses. But we’re supposed to look past that because, when testifying before a congressional panel investigating the causes of the financial crisis Rubin expressed “deep regret” over his failure to foresee the obvious consequences of Citigroup’s unethical and unconscionable practices. (Did Rubin, Citigroup CEO Chuck Prince, and Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein high-five each other, clink martinis, and have a good laugh afterwards concerning their performances of feigned contrition regarding their roles in the crisis? Probably).
Then there’s Stacey Abrams. Her inclusion among this year’s Bilderberg elites would seem totally out of place, except that she is filling a slot that is traditionally set aside for relatively minor politicians who are being considered for promotion as future global leaders. Think Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Emmanuel Macron, Angela Merkel. As we note in our recent article "Stacey Abrams Joins Globalist Elite, Anointed by CFR, Bilderberg Group," Abrams is being boosted by the CFR, the Aspen Institute, the Brookings Institution, and other globalist groups, including, naturally, the leading opinionators of the FNM. However, after lavishing her with millions of dollars of free, adulatory publicity during her recent gubernatorial run in Georgia, her media cheerleaders have maintained a wall of silence concerning her Bilderberg appearance, arguably her most notable accomplishment to date.
Bilderberg agenda 2019
So, what did the Bilderbergers talk about for three-four days? Here are the official agenda topicsprovided by the Bilderberg press office:
1. A Stable Strategic Order
2. What Next for Europe?
3. Climate Change and Sustainability
4. China
5. Russia
6. The Future of Capitalism
7. Brexit
8. The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence
9. The Weaponisation of Social Media
10. The Importance of Space
11. Cyber Threats
Again, for public consumption, those were the official topics for discussion. Only those in attendance know whether the conference adhered to this agenda and, if so, what, if any, “consensus” was arrived at on these important subjects. So far, none of them are commenting publicly; the Bilderberg oath of Omerta (code of silence) appears to be holding. However, based upon current and past statements, actions, and policies of the Bilderberg elite in both the public and private sectors, there is little question that they will continue pushing collectively in all of these areas to advance further centralization of power and, ultimately, world government.
In 2016, we reported ("Bilderberg Elites: Stop Trump, Boost Hillary; Stop Brexit, Boost Migration") based on the statements and actions of Bilderberg participants, that the top objectives of the group would be to stop Trump and stop Brexit, while simultaneously supporting Hillary Clinton’s White House bid and keeping the Muslim “refugee” tsunami rolling into Europe. Following Donald Trump’s upset election, many Bilderberg watchers were dumbfounded to see top Trump administration officials attending the 2017 Bilderberg affair. Of particular concern was the presence at Bilderberg of General H. R. McMaster, President Trump’s national security advisor, who is a longtime globalist and CFR member. Accompanying him was Nadia Schadlow (CFR), his assistant at NSC. As we reported in January of 2018 ("The McMaster Cabal: Lead Operatives in the Deep State Coup Effort to Oust Trump"), the McMaster-Schadlow duo did everything possible to sabotage and oust the president. Subsequently, they were both forced out of the Trump administration. However, Schadlow, who is now a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, was back again this year at Bilderberg.
Perhaps the biggest question in the Trump/Bilderberg bag of mysteries is Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, who serves as a senior advisor to the president. Kushner, who is married to Ivanka Trump, has close ties to top Goldman Sachs hands and, reportedly, played a key role in the appointments of CFR/Goldman Sachs operatives Anthony Scaramucchi, Dina Habbib Powell, and others to high-level posts in the Trump administration. The American members of Bilderberg, especially as represented by the CFR and Goldman Sachs, are globalists, internationalists, one-worlders. President Trump claims to be a nationalist, an unapologetic advocate of “America First,” a term CFR globalists scorn. “In the entire CFR lexicon, there is no term of revulsion carrying a meaning so deep as America First,” said the late U.S. Admiral Chester Ward, who served as the Judge Advocate General of the U.S. Navy and was a CFR member for 16 years before resigning in disgust. “The main purpose of the Council on Foreign Relations is promoting the disarmament of U.S. sovereignty and national independence, and submergence into an all-powerful one-world government,” Admiral Ward warned more than four decades ago. That purpose has not changed. And the CFR-Bilderberg camarilla most certainly has dark strategems planned for the days, weeks, and months ahead. So why did Jared Kushner and other Trump advisers attend Bilderberg? And why — for the third year in a row — did President Trump give his apparent blessing to this participation of his top officials in a cabal of globalist schemers that is attempting to destroy both him and our Republic?

Bilderberg 2015: List of attendees released, police checkpoints and reports of media intimidation
Date: June 10, 2015 in: World By Alan Jones | June 10, 2015 The Bildergerg Goup’s 2015 conference takes place at the InterAlpin Hotel Tyrol, in Buchen, Austria. (Image credit: Wikimedia Commons)(1776 Channel) Titans of banking, information, the Internet and industry, corporate executives, European royalty, Western government leaders, and an army of security contractors and police have begun to descend on the picturesque InterAlpen Hotel in Buchen, Austria for the Bilderburg Group’s 2015 conference. The conference starts tomorrow and runs through Sunday, June 14. Large swaths of major media appear to be upholding their long tradition of pretending that the annual conference, held since 1954, simply doesn’t exist, while the scant band of journalists attempting to penetrate the organization’s force field of secrecy are facing harassment and intimidation by Austrian police. The Western European nation does not appear concerned that the reputation of Austrian police for thug behavior, solidified during Austrian-born Adolph Hitler’s Nazi reign of terror, appears to carry on well into the 21st century. Tourism makes up nearly nine percent of Austria’s $385 billion GDP. YouTube videos documenting media intimidation near the InterAlpen Hotel have begun to appear, and could hurt Austria’s image by reminding viewers of a the country’s dark history. A video posted today on YouTube by a user named Buergerberg, narrated in German, reveals the massive police presence and large checkpoints that have been set up near the hotel. A series of videos released by Infowars, which appears to be one of the only media outlets posting videos of reporters on the ground at Bilderberg so far, document police intimidation and harassment of that organization’s reporters. The harassment reportedly occurred at both check points and at the hotel. Media coverage has been light so far, but even superficial coverage stands in stark contrast to the nearly complete lack of reporting in past years. The Independent is reporting that Bilderberg agenda will inclue “Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Chemical Weapons Threats, Current Economic Issues, European Strategy, Globalisation, Greece, Iran, Middle East, NATO, Russia, Terrorism, United Kingdom, USA, US Elections.” Breitbart noted that climate change appears to not even be on the agenda. The BBC, whose BBC Trust chairman Rona Fairhead is on the guest list, is complaining that not enough women were invited. The Daily Mail notes that “politicians, bankers, spies, business leaders and royalty will rub shoulders at the conference” and that “the talks are shrouded in mystery because no record is kept of who politicians meet or what is discussed”. WND notes that “participants of past Bilderberg events have rarely spoken of their discussions” and that “journalists trying to cover some of these meetings have faced hostility from security officials, as well as arrests”. A search of the Fox News website returns no recent stories on Bilderberg. CNN, which has been providing heavy coverage of a prison escape in upstate New York, ran a story on Bilderberg 2013, held at the Grove Hotel in the U.K., but so far has made no mention of the 2015 meeting at CNN.com.

What’s important to understand is that there are always members who will be attending, but who don’t want to be included in the list, due to laws such as 18 U.S. Code § 953, otherwise known as the Logan Act, which makes it a felony offense – punishable under federal law with imprisonment of up to three years – for any member of federal or state government to meet with members of a foreign government without the express authority and authorization of the president or congress. Yesterday, Bilderberg put out a press release detailing the official talking points to be addressed at this year’s meeting. From our research, this is not their primary agenda, but usually one put out to appease the media: Copenhagen, 26 May 2014 – The 62nd Bilderberg meeting is set to take place from 29 May until 1 June 2014 in Copenhagen, Denmark. A total of around 140 participants from 22 countries have confirmed their attendance. As ever, a diverse group of political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia and the media have been invited. The list of participants is available on www.bilderbergmeetings.org The key topics for discussion this year include: • Is the economic recovery sustainable? • Who will pay for the demographics? • Does privacy exist? • How special is the relationship in intelligence sharing? • Big shifts in technology and jobs • The future of democracy and the middle class trap • China’s political and economic outlook • The new architecture of the Middle East • Ukraine • What next for Europe? • Current events Founded in 1954, Bilderberg is an annual conference designed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America. Every year, between 120-150 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia and the media are invited to take part in the conference. About two thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from North America; approximately one third from politics and government and the rest from other fields. The conference is a forum for informal discussions about major issues facing the world. The meetings are held under the Chatham House Rule, which states that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s) nor of any other participant may be revealed. Thanks to the private nature of the conference, the participants are not bound by the conventions of their office or by pre-agreed positions. As such, they can take time to listen, reflect and gather insights. There is no desired outcome, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken, and no policy statements are issued. *** Below see Paul Joseph Watson’s latest article revealing this year’s agenda from inside sources. *** Bilderberg Agenda Revealed: Elite Desperate to Rescue Unipolar WorldPaul Joseph Watson The 2014 Bilderberg meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark is taking place amidst a climate of panic for many of the 120 globalists set to attend the secretive confab, with Russia’s intransigence on the crisis in Ukraine and the anti-EU revolution sweeping Europe posing a serious threat to the unipolar world order Bilderberg spent over 60 years helping to build.Inside sources confirm to Infowars that the elite conference, which will take place from Thursday onwards at the five star Marriott Hotel, will center around how to derail a global political awakening that threatens to hinder Bilderberg’s long standing agenda to centralize power into a one world political federation, a goal set to be advanced with the passage of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), which will undoubtedly be a central topic of discussion at this year’s meeting. The TTIP represents an integral component of Bilderberg’s attempt to rescue the unipolar world by creating a “world company,” initially a free trade area, which would connect the United States with Europe. Just as the European Union started as a mere free trade area and was eventually transformed into a political federation which controls upwards of 50 per cent of its member states’ laws and regulations with total contempt for national sovereignty and democracy, TTIP is designed to accomplish the same goal, only on a bigger scale. The deal is being spearheaded by Obama’s U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman, a Wall Street insider and a CFR member, Bilderberg’s sister organization. Froman is simultaneously helping to build another block of this global government, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which is a similar project involving Asian countries. Given that Bilderberg schemed to create the Euro single currency as far back as 1955 (Bilderberg chairman Étienne Davignon bragged about how the Euro single currency was a brainchild of the Bilderberg in 2009 interview), the results of the European elections are sure to have stirred outright alarm amongst Bilderberg globalists who are aghast that their planned EU superstate is being eroded as a result of a populist resistance mainly centered around animosity towards uncontrolled immigration policies. In Denmark itself, the buzz is centered around Morten Messerschmidt and the Danish People’s party, which won 27% of the vote in the Euro elections and doubled its number of MEPs. Although some are wary of Messerschmidt’s far right inclinations, his success reflects a general resentment not only in Denmark but across Europe towards immigration and the welfare state, concerns that the EU has only exasperated. Meanwhile in France, Marine Le Pen is carving out a role as the face of a conservative movement that threatens “to break up one united Europe,” with her European election win being described as an “earthquake” that has rattled the political heart of Europe. Voters in the United Kingdom also delivered a thumping rejection of the EU and in turn Bilderberg with the success of Nigel Farage and UKIP, a Euroskeptic triumph some are labeling the “most extraordinary” election result for 100 years. As well as TTIP and the fallout from the European election disaster, Bilderberg will be tackling a number of other key issues, most of which will revolve around the continued effort to centralize economic power under several different guises, including a carbon tax paid directly to the United Nations, with the financial hit being taken by individuals as big companies are granted special “waivers” that will allow them to continue to pollute. The rumbling crisis in Ukraine and the relationship between Russia and NATO will also be a focal point of Bilderberg 2014. Globalists now consider Vladimir Putin to have ostracized Russia from the new world order because he dared to “challenge the international system,” as John Kerry put it. Bilderberg will discuss fears that Putin is intent on constructing an alternative world order based around the BRICS countries, a “multi-polar” system that would devastate the dollar as the world reserve currency and also heavily dilute the current US-EU-NATO power axis. __________________________ |
ABOUT BILDERBERG MEETINGSSince its inaugural meeting in 1954, Bilderberg has been an annual forum for informal discussions, designed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America. Every year, between 120-150 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia and the media are invited to take part in the meeting. About two thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from North America; one third from politics and government and the rest from other fields. The meeting is a forum for informal discussions about megatrends and major issues facing the world. The meetings are held under the Chatham House Rule, which states that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s) nor of any other participant may be revealed. Thanks to the private nature of the meeting, the participants are not bound by the conventions of their office or by pre-agreed positions. As such, they can take time to listen, reflect and gather insights. There is no detailed agenda, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken, and no policy statements are issued.
The 2016 Bilderberg Meeting will take place from 9-12 June in Dresden, Germany. ___________________________ The Bilderberg Group, Bilderberg conference, Bilderberg meetings or Bilderberg Club is an annual private conference of approximately 120-150 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia and the media.[1][2] About two thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from North America; one third from politics and government and the rest from other fields.[1][3]

Origin[edit]The original conference was held at the Hotel de Bilderberg in Oosterbeek, Netherlands, from 29 to 31 May 1954. It was initiated by several people, including Polish politician-in-exile Józef Retinger, concerned about the growth ofanti-Americanism in Western Europe, who proposed an international conference at which leaders from European countries and the United States would be brought together with the aim of promoting Atlanticism – better understanding between the cultures of the United States and Western Europe to foster cooperation on political, economic and defense issues.[4] Retinger approached Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands who agreed to promote the idea, together with former Belgian Prime Minister Paul Van Zeeland, and the head of Unilever at that time, Dutchman Paul Rijkens. Bernhard in turn contacted Walter Bedell Smith, then head of the CIA, who asked Eisenhower adviser Charles Douglas Jackson to deal with the suggestion.[5] The guest list was to be drawn up by inviting two attendees from each nation, one of each to represent conservative and liberal points of view.[4] Fifty delegates from 11 countries in Western Europe attended the first conference, along with 11 Americans.[6] The success of the meeting led the organizers to arrange an annual conference. A permanent steering committee was established with Retinger appointed as permanent secretary. As well as organizing the conference the steering committee also maintained a register of attendee names and contact details with the aim of creating an informal network of individuals who could call upon one another in a private capacity.[7] Conferences were held in France, Germany, and Denmark over the following three years. In 1957 the first U.S. conference was held on St. Simons Island, Georgia, with $30,000 from the Ford Foundation. The foundation supplied further funding for the 1959 and 1963 conferences.[5] Organizational structure[edit] Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld in 1942 Meetings are organized by a steering committee with two members from each of approximately 18 nations.[8] Official posts, in addition to a chairman, include an Honorary Secretary General.[9] There is no such category in the group's rules as a "member of the group". The only category that exists is "member of the Steering Committee".[10] In addition to the committee, there also exists a separate advisory group, though membership overlaps.[11] Dutch economist Ernst van der Beugel became permanent secretary in 1960, upon Retinger's death. Prince Bernhard continued to serve as the meeting's chairman until 1976, the year of his involvement in the Lockheed affair. The position of Honorary American Secretary General has been held successively by Joseph E. Johnson of the Carnegie Endowment, William Bundy of Princeton, Theodore L. Eliot, Jr., former U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan, and Casimir A. Yost of Georgetown's Institute for the Study of Diplomacy.[12] A 2008 press release from the 'American Friends of Bilderberg' stated that "Bilderberg's only activity is its annual Conference. At the meetings, no resolutions are proposed, no votes taken, and no policy statements issued" and noted that the names of attendees were available to the press.[13] The Bilderberg group's unofficial headquarters is in Leiden in the Netherlands. According to the 'American Friends of Bilderberg', the 2008 agenda dealt "mainly with a nuclear free world, cyber terrorism, Africa, Russia, finance, protectionism, US-EU relations, Afghanistan and Pakistan, Islam and Iran".[13] Chairmen of the Steering Committee[edit]
Historically, attendee lists have been weighted towards bankers, politicians, and directors of large businesses.[16] Heads of state, including King Juan Carlos I of Spain and Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, have attended meetings.[9][17] Prominent politicians from North America and Europe are past attendees. In past years, board members from many large publicly traded corporations have attended, including IBM, Xerox, Royal Dutch Shell, Nokia and Daimler.[9] The 2009 meeting participants in Greece included Greek prime minister Kostas Karamanlis, Finnish prime minister Matti Vanhanen,[18] Swedish foreign minister Carl Bildt, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner, World Bank president Robert Zoellick, President of the European Commission José Manuel Barroso, Queen Sofia of Spain, and Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.[19] In 2009 the group hosted a dinner meeting at the Château of Val-Duchesse in Brussels on 12 November to promote the candidacy of Herman Van Rompuy for President of the European Council.[20] In 2013, a source involved in the planning for the group's meeting that year in Watford, UK, was reported to have said that people whose names are not publicly issued may sometimes turn up "just for the day".[21] Recent meetings[edit]Main article: List of Bilderberg meetings
In 2001, Denis Healey, a Bilderberg group founder and, for 30 years, a steering committee member, said: "To say we were striving for a one-world government is exaggerated, but not wholly unfair. Those of us in Bilderberg felt we couldn't go on forever fighting one another for nothing and killing people and rendering millions homeless. So we felt that a single community throughout the world would be a good thing."[39] In 2005 Davignon discussed these accusations with the BBC: "It is unavoidable and it doesn't matter. There will always be people who believe in conspiracies but things happen in a much more incoherent fashion... When people say this is a secret government of the world I say that if we were a secret government of the world we should be bloody ashamed of ourselves."[36] In a 1994 report Right Woos Left, published by the Political Research Associates, investigative journalist Chip Berlet argued that right-wing populist conspiracy theories about the Bilderberg group date back as early as 1964 and can be found in Phyllis Schlafly's self-published book A Choice, Not an Echo,[40] which promoted a conspiracy theory in which the Republican Party was secretly controlled by elitist intellectuals dominated by members of the Bilderberger group, whose internationalist policies would pave the way for world communism.[41] Paradoxically, in August 2010 former Cuban president Fidel Castro wrote a controversial article for the Cuban Communist Party newspaper Granma in which he cited Daniel Estulin’s 2006 book The Secrets of the Bilderberg Club,[42] which, as quoted by Castro, describes "sinister cliques and the Bilderberg lobbyists" manipulating the public "to install a world government that knows no borders and is not accountable to anyone but its own self".[37] Proponents of Bilderberg conspiracy theories in the United States include individuals and groups such as the John Birch Society,[38][43] political activist Phyllis Schlafly,[43] writer Jim Tucker,[44] political activist Lyndon LaRouche,[45] radio host Alex Jones,[1][46][47] and politician Jesse Ventura, who made the Bilderberg group a topic of a 2009 episode of his TruTV series Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura.[48] Non-American proponents include Russian-Canadian writer Daniel Estulin.[49] Former Members of Steering Committee[edit]See also[edit]
