This first meeting was chaired by Prince Bernhard of Holland
from May 29th to May 31st ,1954 and was held under a cloak of
total secrecy - a tradition that has been strictly adhered
to ever since.
Prince Bernhard
oversees the very first meeting of The Bilderberg Group |
|
|
All of the early conferences were held in Europe
but now take place on both sides of the Atlantic. Attendees
represent the elite establishment of every Western nation:
bankers, industrialists, politicians, heads of international
corporations, monarchs, prime ministers, presidents,
representatives of the World Bank, International Monetary Fund,
media executives and military leaders. |
|
Each meeting generally consists of 120 delegates
- about two thirds from Europe and the balance from North
America. All debates go unreported and any consensus reached is
unknown to anyone outside the Group. Because of this cloak of
secrecy is it surprising that suspicion is aroused?. |
The Bilderberg Group discusses and
determines policies which do have an impact - such as the
concept of a common European currency , which was discussed
well before it became policy. Bilderberg also laid the
foundations for a European Round Table - a group of 45
business magnates who influence events in the European
Union. This sub-group (established in 1981) is reputed to
run Europe from behind the scenes.
Other policy decisions of
the Bilderberg Group include the establishment of U.S. -
China diplomatic relations well before Richard Nixon
became involved.
Who are involved in the
Bilderberg Group? Here are a few members who have attended
Bilderberg meetings : |
|
Henry Kissinger,
David Rockerfeller,
William Perry - U.S. Secretary of Defense,
Alexander Trotman - President of Ford Motor Company,
George Robertson - G.B. Secretary of State for Defense,
Jurgen Schremp - Chairman of the Board - Daimler Benz
the list goes on and on - powerful people in powerful
positions - both military and civil - who meet in secrecy behind
the protection of armed guards and insist that their intentions
are benevolent to the rest of mankind. |
|
Surely if this is the case at least a little more
openness would no harm. However because the existence of the
Bilderberg Group is being revealed more and more ,they are
discussing methods (such as a change of name etc....) by which
secrecy can be assured in the future. |
|
 |
Every vehicle approaching a Bilderberg Meeting is stopped and
thoroughly searched by the police. |

"In the firm belief that the American public
deserves a better explanation than that thus far given by the
Air Force, I strongly recommend that there be a committee
investigation of the UFO phenomenon". Former President Gerald
Ford 28th March 1966 |
