Elite Secret: 68th Bilderberg Meeting Taking Place June 2–5 in Washington, D.C. with No Media Coverage

Zero mainstream news coverage.

QUICK FACTS:
  • The 68th Bilderberg Meeting will take place June 2–5 in Washington, D.C., for which about 120 participants from 21 countries have confirmed their attendance, according to a press release for the event.
  • The group attendees include “political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia, labor” and only a select few members of the media have been invited.
  • The meeting is of a “private nature,” meaning the “participants take part as individuals rather than in any official capacity, and hence are not bound by the conventions of their office or by pre-agreed positions,” the release notes. “As such, they can take time to listen, reflect and gather insights. There is no detailed agenda, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken and no policy statements are issued.”
  • In attendance will be Henry Kissinger, billionaire Peter Thiel, Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott, Google’s former CEO Eric Schmidt, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), U.S. National Security Council Director Jake Sullivan, GlaxoSmithKline CEO Emma Walmsley, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Goldman Sachs José Barroso, Shell CEO Ben van Beurden, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, CIA Director Wiliam Burns, Princeton University Senior Research Scholar William Dudley, Senior Advisor for China at the U.S. Department of Commerce Elizabeth Economy, Heineken Chairman Jean Marc Huët, and British Petrol CEO Bernard Looney, among others.
  • Despite the attendees’ elite status, the group insists there is “no desired outcome” of the meeting and that “there is no closing statement, there are no resolutions proposed or votes taken, and the organisation does not support any political party or viewpoint.”
  • Bilderberg emphasizes the public cannot attend the meeting: “Please note that there is no application process for joining the Bilderberg Meetings. Participation is for invitees only,” the group states. Invitations are for “invitees only, as curated by the Steering Committee from leaders who distinguish themselves in the areas of government, business, technology, labour and academia.”
  • The meeting is also “closed to reporting journalists.”
  • The Bilderberg group expresses regret that they are the “target” of “anti-globalisation protests.”
  • FOX News isn’t covering the meeting. Neither are Newsmax or One America News (OAN). Neither are leftist news organizations like CNN, MSNBC, or The New York Times.

BACKGROUND:
  • “Founded in 1954, the Bilderberg Meeting is an annual conference designed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America,” the Bilderberg group’s press release explains.
  • “The Bilderberg Meeting is a forum for informal discussions about major issues. The meetings are held under the Chatham House Rule, which states that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s) nor any other participant may be revealed.”
  • World Economic Forum’s (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab is a former steering committee member for Bilderberg. The WEF predicts that by the year 2030 we will “own nothing. And you’ll be happy,” that the United States “won’t be the world’s leading superpower,” and that we will “eat much less meat” (instead of meat, “we’ll soon be voluntarily crunching insects,” the WEF says).
