Revision as of 13:12, 4 September 2016
The Bilderberg is a series of secret annual meetings, often mentioned in conjunction with two other, less secretive, organizations: the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations. Around 120 leaders of banks, military groups, multinational corporations, nation states and other deep politicians used the secret annual meetings for collaboration on projects of mutual interest (such as, according to a formed chairman, the creation of the Euro).[1] The group has been accused of organising in false flag attacks,[2][3] but its effective exposure in recent years would suggest that any such activity has now shifted to more secretive milieux (such as Le Cercle).
Contents
Official Narrative
Until recently the basic official narrative of the Bilderberg group was that there was no such group. Nowadays, the meetings are acknowledged, and the official narrative is generally that these famous and busy people, normally subject to scrutiny by paparazzi, need time to relax and take time off, play golf etc. It's an "annual, unofficial, invitation-only" social event. A rare 2005 BBC interview with Étienne Davignon is an exception to this rule, naming the conference and concluding that "informal and private networks like Bilderberg have helped to oil the wheels of global politics and globalisation for the past half a century".[4]
Problems
The intense secrecy and use of armed guards belie the claim that Bilderberg is a mere social event. Willy Claes, who attended Bilderberg in 1994, said on Belgian radio that at Bilderberg each participant is given a report and they are "considered to use this report in setting their policies in the environments in which they affect".[5]
Meetings
Charles Douglas Jackson was important in getting the group set up.[citation needed] Similarly to the Safari Club, the Bilderberg was named after the location of the first meeting.
Since 1954, the group has had annual meetings usually in April, May or June. There were 2 meetings in 1955 and 1957. The 1976 meeting was cancelled due to Prince Bernhard's difficulties dealing with the Lockheed Bribery Affair.
Disgraced Secretary General of NATO Willy Claes stated in an interview that no two guests are allowed to sit next to each other more than once at Bilderberg, to enable the maximum exchange of views on important subjects. He also explained that guests are normally given around 10 minutes of talk time, after which a report is compiled of their presentation.[6]
Membership
Conferences have around 100-150 guests. Membership of the Bilderberg drawn mainly from Europe and USA. There have been almost no attendees from the southern hemisphere, possibly just one from New Zealand, and the first attendees from China were in 2011. [7] Members are heads of multinational corporations, political and financial leaders as well as royalty. Dennis Healey reports that Bilderberg new invitees were expected to speak so that the steering committee members can evaluate them.[8]
Steering Committee
- Full article: Bilderberg/Steering committee
- Full article: Bilderberg/Steering committee
Henri de Castries chairs the steering committee, other members include Étienne Davignon, journalist Bill Moyers, diplomat George W. Ball, perennial Bilderberger Victor Halberstadt, BBC Senior Independent Director Marcus Agius, Gabriel Hauge, Richard C. Holbrooke, Winston Lord and Paul Wolfowitz.
Advisory Group(s)
Even more rarefied than the Steering Committee is the advisory group (or groups). In 2001 David Rockefeller was chairman of the international advisory group. It is unclear what this group (or groups) are responsible for, or how its differ from the steering committee. Membership is smaller, but does overlap the steering committee.[citation needed]
Secrecy
The group has enjoyed a high level of secrecy, though not up to the level of an even more select deep state milieu, Le Cercle. In October 1955, Der Spiegel carried a major report on the 'secret conference' of the 'Bilderberg circle', even terming it a "conspiracy" (in quotes). It reported on attendees and the discussions. This appears to have been the trigger for a serious commercially-controlled media blackout, since the next time it was known to be mentioned by the corporate media was a short, isolated mention in a Washington Post article of 1963.[9] Occasionally, conferences were reported, such as in 1977[10] but a media blackout continued and until about 2005.
1998 - Blair's Denial to Parliament
When asked in March 1998 in the UK Parliament, UK Prime Minister Tony Blair denied that he or any members of his government had ever attended Bilderberg[11], something contradicted by fellow 1993 attendee, William Rees-Mogg, by the UK Guardian and by a subsequently leaked attendance list.[12] Moreover, in a candid moment, Blair later admitted attending the conference, terming it a "really useful group".[13]
2009 - Exposure
The internet proved an effective tool after campaigning journalists such as Jim Tucker and Tony Gosling (who registered Bilderberg.org)[14]) worked hard to publicise it. Guardian reporter Charlie Skelton started regularly reporting on the group in 2009 with an article entitled "Our man at Bilderberg: in pursuit of the world's most powerful cabal" in which he wrote that "a handful of people are saying, this weekend is Bilderberg".[15] By 2010, a lot of the secrecy surrounding the group had been eroded and other commercially-controlled media sources were reporting from the meetings. In 2011, BBC acknowledged a changing of the official narrative about the group, artfully entitling an article "Bilderberg mystery: Why do people believe in cabals?" - reframing the "mystery" associated with the group to speculation about the mental health of people who question its toxic nature.[16]
Activities
For a long time, outsiders could only speculate as to why 100+ senior figures from commerce, politics, finance, espionage etc. chose to meet up annually with such elaborate security. Increasingly, however, leaked documents and other information from insiders are clarifying the group's activities. most obviously, self-enrichment and the accumulation of power and influence is a factor. Members are also sent by deep politicians with specific agendas. The close proximity of so many figures from different nations facilitates the development not only of social relationships but undocumented international understandings and contingency plans.
1973 Oil Crisis

- Full article: “1973 Oil crisis”
Visitors to the 1973 Bilderberg conference included the CEOs of Royal Dutch Shell, British Petroleum, Total S.A., ENI, Exxon as well as senior financiers. Discussions included.[17] Meeting minutes indicate that participants discussed a 400% increase in the price of oil, and created a "plan [on] how to manage the about-to-be-created flood of oil dollars."[18] The price of Egyptian crude oil was around $3 per barrel at the time of the meeting, but was $12 by 1974.[19]
Creation of the Euro
Étienne Davignon, former chairman, stated in a 2009 interview that the group "helped create the euro in the 1990s",[20] a boast which is supported by leaked documents and the Bilderberg's apparent choice of the President of the European Central Bank; of the three Presidents of the European Central Bank, the first two, Wim Duisenberg and Jean-Claude Trichet, were Bilderberg Steering Committee members and the next, Mario Draghi, attended the Bilderberg just before his appointment as president. The ECB's predecessor organisation, the European Monetary Institute was similarly lead exclusively by Bilderberg attendees.
Strategy of tension

Strategy of tension
- Full article:
Ferdinando Imposimato, Honorary President of the Supreme Court of Italy and former Senior Investigative Judge, the man who prosecuted the case involving the assassination attempt against Pope John Paul II, wrote a book accusing the Bilderberg Group of False flag terrorist attacks as part of a wider strategy of tension in Europe.[3][2]
Choosing the Secretary General of NATO
In 1966, the number 1 item of the Bilderberg group's agenda, written by Robert R. Bowie, was the reorganising of NATO.[21] Since that meeting, no one has been permanently appointed as NATO Secretary General without first attending at least one meeting of the Bilderberg.
Deep State connections
The Bilderberg appears to be more or less in control of other senior appointments.
Choosing the UK Prime Minister
Since 1963, only two UK Prime Ministers have not attended the Bilderberg group (John Major and maybe Harold Wilson, though the latter is sometimes reckoned to have attended). Again, the most common pattern is to attend a Bilderberg meeting before become leader of a political party.

Peter Thiel | “I believe that it is always important to exchange views with people, no matter what their perspectives are. I think we have a lot of problems in our society and we need to be finding ways to talk to people. We need to find ways to talk to people where not everything is completely transparent. Libertarianism is not synonymous with radical transparency. That’s often an argument that Stasi would make in East Germany, when everything had to be monitored by society. And I think you have the best conversations in smaller groups where not everything is being monitored. That’s how you can have very honest conversations and you can think better about the future.” | Peter Thiel | 2016 |
Donald Trump | “Break with tradition, or so it seems. Vilified by the entire Rockefeller and liberal media establishment, but strong evidence he himself is "conservative CIA". Brought to power by "conservative CIA" CNP financiers/members as the Mercers, Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway. Trump himself has many long-standing, curious security state and establishment ties, among them: in December 2000 Trump was part of a 94-guest dinner organized by Bilderberg steering committee-, Pilgrims Society-, and 1001 Club-member Conrad Black, where Trump was seen chatting with Henry Kissinger at a table. Happy Rockefeller, the widow of Nelson Rockefeller; Lynn Forester de Rothschild, Richard Perle, Vernon Jordan and later exposed serial pedophiles Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell all were part of this dinner.” | Joël van der Reijden ISGP Donald Trump | 2020 |
