The Bilderberg Group

A Modern Cult of Power and the Last of the Secret Societies

The organization today known as the Bilderberg Group or the Bilderbergers was formed in 1954. It is so named because the original conference was held at the Hotel de Bilderberg near Arnherm in the Netherlands. The conference was originally the brainchild of Polish political advisor Joseph Retinger, who wanted to bring together the great leaders both of Europe and the United States in hopes of generating a feeling of amity and understanding between European and North American cultures. 

Yet verifyable information about the Bilderberg Group is hard to come by.

Only a little is even known about what is said behind the closed doors of the annual Bilderberg conferences. It is known that world affairs are the main topic of the day, however what little has been revealed of the actual topics of conversation from those who have attended these conferences speaks only in the broadest of generalities. Attendees, who are allowed in by invitation only, are required to hold in utmost confidentiality any specifics of what goes on at the meeting. Few who attend mention the conference at all.

This is the loose translation given most often concerning the shadowy history of the Bilderberg Group.

According to the documents obtained from an unusual insider source ( of which I cannot be certain, as with most such insiders in my opinion as an author) . If this is  accurate then the people who are playing inside the secretive group do exert an awful lot of influence even to this day. As is displayed by the discussion agenda from a 2010 discussion agenda at the annual meeting of the Bilderberg Group, given in this bullet point list :

   1. Will the Euro Survive?
   2. Development in Europe: Europe's Exit Strategy...On Hold?
   3. Do We Have Institutions to Deal With the World Economy?
   4. Greece: Lessons and Forward-looking Strategies
   5. NATO and Afghanistan: The Practical Agenda for the Alliance
   6. Iran and Russia: Economic and Financial Threats to the Alliance
   7. The Consequences of War Against Terrorism
   8. The Influence of Domestic Issues on American Foreign Policy
   9.The Outlook for Japan's Economy
   10. The Future of the U.S. Dollar: Alternative Scenarios

This is just an example supposedly of the greater discussions which would be held during the meeting of this elite group of people, and in such a manner has business between members of the Bilderbergs been conducted for more than half a century worldwide.

On a topical side note, the controversial internet entity Wikileaks has reportedly published minutes from meetings of the Bilderberg Group recently. But in the interest of space, I will simply provide you the dates and locations of the last six annual meetings of the Bilderbergs :

2005 (5–8 May) at the Dorint Sofitel Seehotel Überfahrt in Rottach-Egern, Germany

2006 (8–11 June) at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

2007 (31 May–3 June) at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel,[40] in Şişli, Istanbul, Turkey.

2008 (5–8 June) at the Westfields Marriott in Chantilly, Virginia, United States

2009 (14–16 May) at the Astir Palace resort in Athens, Greece

2010 (3–7 June) at the Hotel Dolce in Sitges, Spain

There is no doubt that this organization is real, is my only point in providing this information to the reader. Now let us continue with the birth of the Bilderberg Group as they are known today.

Against the odds, the Bilderbergs have risen to power through coordinated weilding of worldwide influence since an unknown beginning some time ago, the exact details how it was created are sketchy and contradictory to say the least. If inclinded to research it, there is a lot of information on the subject which confirms and contradicts historical information at the same time. This will not the be subject of this article.

 What is recorded is that since 1954 some 120 of the world's wealthiest, most powerful and influential people have been invited to an annual meeting hosted in some of the most luxurious and private hotels and resorts across Europe and North America. Their annual meetings are held completely in secret with absolutely no outside media allowed inside. In fact, despite having 100 of the world's most powerful people meeting in the same place these conferences garner almost no media attention whatsoever.

This may or may not be accurate, but it is the legendary idealization that is of greatest interest to most. This follows typically with the historical pattern of groups that fall into positions of being elite to the status quo of their society, thus it is hard to say what is absolutely true. My guess is it is a little bit of truth that lies on both sides of such debates.

The extreme secrecy behind the meetings and the high profile nature of its attendees (including, just as a sampling, such notable names as Henry Kissinger, Donald Rumsfeld, David Rockefeller, Margaret Thatcher, H.J. Heinz, Hillary Clinton and Rupert Murdoch over the years) has led many conspiracy theorists to believe that the true purpose of the Bilderbergers is to direct the flow of world affairs.

 



This is the mythic Round Table of Power - the world organizations
 thought to be in control of the entire human race by influence.



The extreme secrecy surrounding the group may have lead tothe perpetuation of many conspiracy theories.

Also the proof is lacing to believe that these men and women are in fact part of the New World Order secretly controlling the world, but not to the true believers.Legends have long been  inspired by the attempt to understand what is truly going on behind the closed doors of the Bilderberg Group. 

Returning to  the decisions are made which will shape the flow of public policy, business moves and more all in the self-interest of those at the heart of the group. 

Due to the inherent secrecy that lies at the heart of the Bilderbergers there is no way to know.

It is for this and other reasons that many historians and  theorists alike, have long suspected that the Bilderbergers are in actuality inheritors to the newest incarnation of an medieval origined group known through the centures as the Illuminati. In definition, the meaning of the name Illuminati refers to men who are the covert and secret masters of the new world.

The Illuminati has a long mythic history that has lead many to believe they never actually existed.

But for a group that supposedly exists only n mythology, the Illuminati has an amazingly long history of influence since the later Crusades. Again I will stress the term allegedly as to the accuracy or not of such historical facts and data.

Those who are actually part of the Bilderberg Group of course oppose any such characterization. While they have made only limited comments about the nature of the Bilderberg meetings, they describe it as essentially a discussion forum allowing world leaders to talk to each other outside of the public eye of media attention.

They claim that secrecy is required in order to provide a truly open forum where public leaders are allowed to speak their mind without fear of every word they speak being parsed a thousand different ways by journalists and the court of public opinion.

Despite the purported innocuous nature of the Bilderberg Group, as long as their meetings are held behind closed doors they shall continue to be the target of conspiracy theories worldwide in the future.

For those wondering who or what the Illuminati is, I will be continuing to discuss this top in the blog post for tomorrow, for the subject is involved and a bit much to absorb, even for most scholars of such interests.
