Well now that they've been exposed by a lot of independent investigators, it's pretty obvious that it's now time to downplay them within recent years.

It happens every year in June, somewhere on the face of the Earth where there’s enough security and affluence to accommodate a gathering of the world’s most exclusive club. This weekend it’s happening in the Spanish Mediterranean resort of Sitges, near Barcelona, where the ultra-elite Bilderberg group is meeting at the heavily guarded Dolce Hotel.

Named after the Hotel de Bilderberg in Oosterbeek, the Netherlands, where the first Bilderberg confab was held in 1954, the group has met annually ever since, typically under extremely heavy security and extreme secrecy. There are no statements to the press and no publicity of any kind, and heavily armed police and guards keep investigative journalists and curiosity seekers outside a very wide perimeter. This year, the air space above Sitges has been declared a no-fly zone, and vanloads of Spanish police have turned the posh resort into a virtual armed camp.

Nothing so large can be entirely secret, of course. Prominent Bilderberg attendees have included a veritable Who’s Who of the wealthy and well-connected, especially in banking and politics. Past attendees have included U.S. presidents and vice presidents like Bill Clinton and Dan Quayle, British prime ministers (Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair, for example), and many of the world’s wealthiest moguls and magnates, including Bill Gates and the seemingly ageless David Rockefeller. Also prominent on the list of “Bilderbergers” are European royalty like the Netherland’s Queen Beatrix and Spain’s monarch Juan Carlos. U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has been to the gathering, and so have many movers and shakers in American and European banking and finance.

This year’s guest list allegedly includes World Bank President Robert Zoellick, World Trade Organization Director Pascal Lamy, European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet, and former Spanish vice president and EU commissioner Pedro Solbes, known affectionately as “Mr. Euro.” Also supposedly in attendance in Sitges are top executives from the likes of Siemens AG, Royal Dutch Shell, Chase Manhattan Bank and Morgan Stanley International. Embattled Spanish president Jose Zapatero gave the inaugural address.

Although no agenda has been released to the press, this year’s gathering is likely to focus on the crisis engulfing the Eurozone, in which Spain, with its tottering finances, is playing a central role. The folks who designed the EU and the Euro, after all, were mostly Bilderbergers; one suspects that the organization is not anxious to see one of its grand experiments fail so spectacularly.

Despite the suffocating secrecy surrounding the Bilderberg meetings, details have been leaked to the public over the years. It is now known, for example, that the organization has no members as such, except for the likes of David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger, who, along with around 30 others, have belonged to a “steering committee” that plans the events and presumably draws up agendas and guest lists. The organization consists of eminenti in poltics, business, and finance from both sides of the Atlantic, and purports to foster trans-Atlantic cooperation; unlike the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg group does not include individuals of prominence from other parts of the world.

According to a 2008 press release from the American Friends of Bilderberg, “Bilderberg's only activity is its annual Conference. At the meetings, no resolutions are proposed, no votes taken, and no policy statements issued.” Yet in spite of such coy claims, the Bilderberg gathering is obviously a nerve center of the world’s power-elite network; the security and secrecy are evidence enough of its significance. Whether planning the occupation of Iran or charting the course of the ongoing European financial, economic, and political merger, the men meeting right now behind sniper rifles and locked doors in Sitges are planning for their own best interests, which are not likely to coincide with yours or mine.

Odd, you never see our media talking about the Bilderberg meetings...

The guy arguing in the video is funny. A bunch of influential powerful people meet every year in secrecy and heavy security for no reason at all.

What this guy fails to mention is the Bilderberg meetings WERE conspiracies at one time till it became undeniable. Obviously these people arent supernatural and cant control everything on earth, but they sure can get together and come up with plans to try their hardest.

I dont think elites meeting together to figure out ways to increase their wealth an power is some conspiracy. Its been happening all throughout history.

It'll be fun to watch how our MSM handles it... if at all. ;)

I listened to some Bilderberg coverage on Alex Jones. It sounds like a number of the invited didn't attend because they are afraid of being confronted by their constituents later.

It seems like they really want to try and save the Euro still, and I heard Jim Tucker saying they want cheap gas here this summer but then $ 4 a gallon by November.

If this is true, it's just one more reason why I'm not as worried about the bilderbergers as I used to be. They're incompetent.

I think what it boils down to is this: the Euro was formed as a precursor to a world currency (first Europe then the world mentality). Now that it is collapsing, it will be very difficult to achieve their ultimate objective. No one will trust a world currency for the same reasons the Euro failed; no one in their right mind will tolerate it being implemented globally.

wow good article

"But seriously, if you work on the foreign desk of a major news corporation and you're at the "Bilderberg what?" level of political awareness, you need to think about getting a different job. Take a sabbatical. Take up carpentry, or read a book. It's like calling yourself a porn star and not knowing the reverse cowgirl. "The reverse what...?""

I loled.

Precisely.

There are various groups who are trying to take over the world, but things are not going to turn out as any of them (or us) expect them to. Although I weep for the future, I still don't think it will be as bad as Alex Jones and the like say.
