the Freemasons the Illuminati these are secretive organizations that many people
suspect have extreme nefarious influence on society around the world but they
seem like small fries compared to the Bilderberg Group an annual gathering of
many of the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world to make plans
regarding global issues it's as if the group was created with the specific
attempt of drawing the suspicion of conspiracy theorists so who is this
shifting group what has officially been attributed to or blames on men are they
even something to worry about well we'll see if we can find any answers from the
available data number 10 the beginning just about every source on the
Bilderberg meeting says that they began at the hotel to Bilderberg in Oyster
bukh in the Netherlands in 1954 truth was that planning and organizing began
in 1950 to some degree as a response to Greece and Turkey joining the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization and making it clear to many of the elites of Europe
that the fight against communism in the USSR and China needed a more coordinated
effort as such reportedly the first meeting was primarily centered on how to
handle Germany's entry into NATO which was such a fraught issue that it dragged
on into the 1955 meeting from the beginning the conceit of the meetings
was that there would be roughly 130 participants and that roughly two-thirds
of them would be Europeans while the rest were North American usually only
roughly one-third of the participants are politicians with the rest being
business figures members of academia media personalities etc presumably they
had little idea how much paranoia their first meeting would generate over the
years number nine Henry Kissinger to many one of the more sinister figures
who is often attended Bilderberg Group meetings is this former US Secretary of
State he is known to have gone to meetings in the 1990s and every meeting
from 2016 2019 considering Kissinger is support for human rights violating
military dictatorships in South America such as Argentina's whoever they are or
Chile's Pinochet and his pushes to bomb civilians in Vietnam and Cambodia it's
understandable many would not want him in a position of such an
Lewis Kissinger himself did very little to lessen the fears this involvement
generated for example during the 1992 meeting he reportedly said today
Americans would be outraged if UN troops entered Los Angeles to restore order
tomorrow they will be grateful given the notorious distrust many Americans have
to the UN in general to say nothing of pretty much every nations resistance to
regime change and this seems like it was as deeply out of touch then as it is now
number 8 protesters in relatively recent years
meetings by the Bilderberg Group have drawn angry people holding signs that
say things like stop New World Order or smash the Empire crowds for these
protests have been known to get as large as hundreds of people it's meant there
have been some counterintuitive groups protesting together for example in 2012
both the far-right Tea Party movement and the far left Occupy Wall Street
movement were standing with 9/11 truthers today too there haven't been
any reported instances of the protesters turning to violence and armed protesters
seem to be rare enough that in the aforementioned 2012 protest only one was
known to have brought a gun by far the highest-profile protesters of the
Bilderberg meetings are Alex Jones and Jesse Ventura Jones traveled to
Bilderberg meetings including to Harford share in the UK and 2013 Jesse Ventura
began in 2009 with an episode of the truTV programme conspiracy theory
wherein he alleged that the group was proposing plans to thin out the
population through a combination of diseases and vaccine while attempting to
infiltrate the meeting considering that conspiracy theory ran for two more
seasons after that episode we can at least take comfort in knowing that they
don't have the power of silencing just anyone they want number seven brexit
attacks against the Bilderberg Group were given a real shot in the arm in
2016 when it was accused of pushing the remain movements during the brexit
referendum as early as March 14th three months before the momentous referendum
vote Conservative MP Philip Haller bone stood before the House of Commons and
claimed that the Bilderberg leaders would be ganging up against the British
people members of the right-wing party you kit had been publicly accusing
Bilderberg of sporting pro-eu parties in Britain since 2000 and
13 it was given roughly the same amount of attention and criticism as President
Barack Obama's official visit the claim was given a bit of credibility by the
fact that the Bilderberg website did claim that brexit would be an agenda
item for that year's meeting on the other hand the meeting wasn't until June
8th only a fortnight before the referendum versions that the attendees
were explicitly not bound by the conventions of their office or pre
agreed positions it's hard to imagine what they could have done to sway the
referendum vote the other way even if that decided they had to number-6
unlisted guests on paper the Bilderberg organizers seemed remarkably open about
admitting who their attendees are it was well known the bilkins and winds were
meeting in 1991 when he was still the governor of Arkansas perfectly time to
reinforce the idea when he was elected president in 1992 that Bilderberg was a
collection of kingmakers that was only further reinforced when then obscure MP
bursts later Prime Minister Tony Blair attended in 1993 still when a meeting is
so informal it means a lot can happen simultaneously above and below board for
the May 13th 2019 meeting it drew a lot of attention
that both Jared Kushner and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo were going to attend
reportedly Pompeo was attending primarily to try and sell the other
attendees on supporting the u.s. pressure campaign on Iran it turns out
the Pompeo wasn't actually invited to attend the events though Kushner had
been while future trade deals would implicate the Pompeo was unsuccessful
some sources claimed that he wasn't even allowed in it raises the distinct
possibility that there were unannounced maybe even not officially invited
attendees number 5 the 2010 leak one claim often put forward by the
Bilderberg Group is that to keep the meeting more informal there aren't
official minutes taken presumably the wealthy and powerful will be more
willing to say what's really on their minds if there's not going to be a
written record but as came out in 2010 if that claim that there are no minutes
taken is true it didn't used to be the case in October of that year WikiLeaks
released these supposedly non-existent minutes of the meetings from 1955 to
1958 as well as the 1960 meeting 1963 and finally in 1973
beyond that the 2013 budgeted by Roosevelt Institute senior researcher
Charles Smith and Valerie Oberg Atlantic Europe
Manticore Europe America included citations of the 1966 steering committee
minutes while none of the published minutes name any names or contained
shocking revelations that confirmed any conspiracy theories they strongly
indicated that Bilderberg meetings were more thoroughly documented than the
public was led to believe number four one world government as expected of an
international organization of privately meeting powerful people some of the
protesters have accused Bilderberg of having the aim of establishing a
one-world government many end times Christians do not want that because the
17th chapter of the New Testament book revelation supposedly says such a
government will be a sign of the Apocalypse if there are any members or
organizers of Bilderberg meetings that want to dispel their reputation then in
2001 during an interview with The Guardian Labour MP and former defense
secretary Lord Denis Healey cheerfully it said about just the worst thing
possible while dishing on the various attendees from old meetings such as
claiming the Bill Clinton in 1991 was only there to gladhands and that nobody
thought he would be the next president Healy said to say we were striving for
one world government is exaggerated but not wholly unfair he went on to talk
about all the wars poverty etc that international conflict generated but
there was no contesting that he provided a near-perfect polar quote for any
conspiracy theory who wants to paint the meetings as having a devious globalist
agenda number 3 connection to the Third Reich in addition to the one world
government accusations anti Bilderberg people can point to the fact that one of
the founders Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands joined the Nazi Party in
1933 in fact he joins the infamous SS in 1934 Bernard claims that he only did
this do you avoid some university tests and that when he met out of Hitler in
person it was to renounce his German citizenship supposedly when Bernard was
married in 1937 Hitler cattle II it was the only head of state in Europe that
didn't send him a wedding present to Bernards credits by the time World War
two you started he'd abandoned his Nazi connections about as firmly as he could
in 1940 he led Dutch troops against the Wehrmacht and when the Netherlands fell
he escaped with some of his true to the UK in 1942 he became a pilot with
the Royal Air Force his most notable missions included organizing food drops
for starving Dutch citizens in what became known as Operation manna which
would actually continue after the end of World War two as part of the marshall
plan to rebuild western europe it was also responsible for bombing v1 launch
sites by 1944 he was leading all dutch troops in the liberation of the
Netherlands he had the satisfaction of being present for the Third Reich
surrender so to say there's a strong Nazi connection to the Bilderberg Group
it's just a little bit misleading number two the cancelled meeting for all
the protests and attempts and infiltration there's only been one year
when the Bilderberg meeting was cancelled that year was 1976 to
understand this we have another entry devoted to Prince Bernhard since the end
of World War two he had such credits as helping to start the World Wildlife Fund
in 1961 but by 1976 he was accused of making bad life choices again in
February 1976 arms contractor Lockheed Aircraft Corporation which later merged
into Lockheed Martin admitted that it had bribed Bernard 1.1 million dollars
to accept f-104 G star fighter jet since the Dutch air force Bernhard would never
be officially cleared of the bribe charged and where exactly the money went
would never be determined but since 1976 was in the wake of America's dis
affecting Vietnam conflict the anti-war sentiment was strong enough in the
country that none of the invited Americans were willing to attends the
scandal-ridden monarchs meeting by modern standards it feels like a fairly
quaint scandal to cancel a momentous meeting of captains of industry and
monarchs number one Hosting headaches as Lord Denis Healey claimed while spilling
the beans on the meetings for the host country Bilderberg isn't so much an
honor as it is a headache even if those crowds of protesters haven't turned
violence just the cost of law enforcement to protect around 130
figures with worldwide influence is so costly that in 2013 the UK taxpayers had
to shell out 1.3 million pounds for a meeting near Waterford that's to say
nothing of the cost of renting out 5-star hotels for four days of meetings
on the bright side the event is almost always corporate sponsored sponsors
offered to compensate the UK taxpayers hundred thousand pounds of that 2013
bill also while there are no attendance fees every invitee is expected to cover
their own travel and room costs it could be argued that it's not reassuring to
know that corporate sponsors are buying access to the rich and powerful to such
an extent the former Google CEO Eric Schmidt attended a meeting in 2019 it's
also not reassuring how insistent Bilderberg is that the meetings aren't
influential so I really hope you found that video interesting if you did please
