The annual Bilderberg conference, a secretive meeting reuniting some
of the world’s most powerful politicians, bankers, media moguls, CEOs
and policy makers (in other words, the elite) is taking place from June 6
to June 9th. As usual, there’s a media blackout surrounding the event –
except for some British papers as the meeting is taking place in
Watford, UK.
This is one of the meetings where REAL decisions are taken and were
policies are agreed upon. Elected politicians basically take orders from
these types of elite circles.
Thanks to “conspiracy theorists”, the meetings get a little more
attention every year. However, the few media sources that attempt to
access the 5-star Grove Hotel won’t be able to see much. In fact, a
“Great Wall of Watford” has been erected around the premises of the
hotel.
Nothing says “we have nothing to hide” better than a giant wall around a perimeter.
Some notable attendees at this year’s conference are Google executive
chairman Eric Schmidt, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, International Monetary
Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde and former U.S. Secretary of
State Henry Kissinger (he’s a regular at all these kinds of meetings).

According to bilderbergmeetings.org, here’s the official agenda.
• Can the US and Europe grow faster and create jobs?
• Jobs, entitlement and debt
• How big data is changing almost everything
• Nationalism and populism
• US foreign policy
• Africa’s challenges
• Cyber warfare and the proliferation of asymmetric threats
• Major trends in medical research
• Online education: promise and impacts
• Politics of the European Union
• Developments in the Middle East
• Current affairs
Of course, this is the “official”, media-friendly agenda. Since none
of the discussions are released to the public, discussions about NWO or
police-state related issues can easily break out and nobody will ever
know.
