Return to Round Table Organisations & Think Tanks

Bilderberg Group

Established in 1954 by Nazi Sympathiser Prince Reinhardt of Netherlands, its first meeting was held at the Bilderberg Hotel in Oosterbeek, Netherlands. This is a highly secretive group of roughly 140 of the most influential people in the World. Regular attendees include David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger and Queen Beatrice. Prince Philip and Prince Charles have both been attendee’s.
This highly secretive group, for many years attempted to even deny their existence, until the alternative media forced them to admit their existence. They still attempt to meet in secret locations annually around the World, they do not publicise their attendee list, or their agenda and exclude all media. They also operate under Chatham House rules, whereby no minutes or press releases are ever released. Very strict security ensures no-one is allowed to approach the venue of their meetings too closely.
UK attendees have included Edward Heath, Margaret Thatcher, John Major, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Ken Clarke and last year (2009) Ed Balls, who despite the MP expenses furore charged his (private) attendance to expenses.
Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton both attended prior to the last US presidency election, whoever won the Democrat vote knew the Bilderberg agenda.
People should ask themselves why such influential people need to meet in such a shroud of secrecy and whether what they discuss is for the good of mankind or themselves and their global agenda. The US even has a law prohibiting any US politician from meeting in secret with any foreign person (Cole’s Law)

One topic of interest, discussed at 2010 Bilderberg group was “Global Cooling” – well, well, well
