Who will attend the secret Bilderberg meeting this year? Do you know?
Duh? No one knows who will be in attendance until they actually show up at the conference! A list of all attendees is published each year after the event.
The topics discussed at the conferences are published each year after the conference. The so-called “secret agenda” discussed at last year’s 2012 conference May 31-June 3, 2012 in Chantilly, Virginia, USA: {1}
The State of Trans-Atlantic Relations
Is Vigorous Economic Growth Attainable?
The Future of Democracy in the Developed World
The US Political Landscape
The European Political Landscape
A Conversation on US Foreign Policy
The Politics and Geo-Politics of Energy
Stability and Instability in the Middle East
Imbalances, Austerity and Growth
Sustainability of the Euro and its Consequences
What Does Putin 2.0 Mean?
What Can the West Do about Iran?
How Do Sovereign States Collaborate in Cyber Space?
China's Economic and Political Outlook
Did you notice that there are six unanswered questions in the OP statement and two more in the title? Do some people believe that unanswered questions are evidence of a conspiracy? If someone lists a hundred unanswered questions about your life, is this proof you are trying to be secret about yourself? Why do many conspiracy believers place a greater importance on unanswered questions and unsupported innuendo then they do on the lack of credible, verifiable facts? Do all of my questions prove the suspicion contain in the OP statement is totally wrong or just rationally flawed? Would intelligent readers want to see more facts and fewer unanswered questions? Is it not obvious that a whole bunch of words followed by question marks is an admission that the writer has substituted unanswered questions to cover the absence of real facts? Finally, did you notice how many question marks were used in this paragraph and how they are designed to sway your thinking without the need for persuasive arguments? Do you think I have gone far enough with these meaningless unanswered questions?

I believe, although I have no proof (
)
that Bohemian Grove along the Russian River is the debauched leisure activities location
for the great and powerful,
whereas Bilderberg Group is where nefarious New World Order business is discussed.
Notice both have the initials B.G.
Coincidence? Or plot?
Only Alex Jones knows for sure!Good evening, Sannyasinman.
You make a very good point. It is free of fringe rhetoric and unanswered questions. I know why Bill Gates and his associates are targeting the elimination of Polio and not Africa’s infrastructure. While both will save millions of lives, he has enough money to accomplish the first objective and not enough to do the latter.
My compliments on raising a valid point
Of course, I saw the released tape evidence.

Hey, Reality. It has been a while for us, hasn’t it.
You provided just what we need, more unanswered questions in lieu of facts!
I know you have been promoting suspicion of the Bilderberg Group for a couple of years and, maybe, rightfully so. What makes me suspicious of your suspicions are the endless unanswered questions, yours and others, that are designed to create an impression without having to provide evidence that supports the need for suspicion. With soooo many unanswered questions, I would think that, after 50 years, one of you would have come up with at least a couple of incriminating answers. But, alas, I hear of none.
As for your post, I can propose another scenario, equally plausible, and equally unsupportable by any facts. It is completely possible that Barack and Hillary hunkered down with their most trusted lieutenants and financial backers to negotiate a deal so one of them could make the dash to the finish line. It certainly would not be the first time a lagging primary contender suddenly dropped from the race and ended up with a prestigious post in the new administration. This is particularly likely when the money behind the runner up switches to support the forerunner. It is also possible these financial backers were also attending the Bilderberg conference. In any event, speculation is not necessarily truth; a smoking gun only proves the gun has been fired.
I may not have provided a convincing explanation for their mysterious disappearance but, clearly, neither have you. Facts, and only facts, are needed to prove your suspicions are valid.
Be good, my friend, and always follow your bliss.
- You needn't fear; not being a Bilderberg, I couldn't accomplish it if wanted to!
Hi again, Sannyasinman.
Secrecy can be expunged by knowledge but, by itself, secrecy confirms absolutely nothing.Hi there, Sannyasinman.
Thanks you for all of your Bilderberg threads. Exactly how many did you start? 3,4,5? My research reveals that all of your claims of secrecy concerning both attendees and agenda are pure rubbish. They are the product of conspiracy fixation and lazy research. Here is a small sample of publicized items from over 130 published references. I have intentionally excluded all publications after the year 2000 and those before 2000 not printed in English. Read and learn:
Joseph Retinger is reported as the founder and secretary of Bilderberg Group (1954 to 1960) in his obituary published in The Times on June 13, 1960. {1}
Bilderberg is openly reported in The Times on March 20, 1964 and again on April 3, 1965:
"The main purpose of M. Defferre's visit however, is to attend the annual Bilderberg Colloquy at which leaders of western thought are invited to speak their minds in the strictest secrecy." {2}
"The Duke of Edinburgh took part today in the opening session of the Bilderberg meeting at the Villa d'Este on Lake Como." {3}The Washington Post, March 30, 1963:
“CANNES, France, March 29, 1963 NATO Commander Gen. Lyman Lemnitzer and Belgian Foreign Minister Paul-Henri Spaak arrived here today to take part in the secrecyshrouded annual "Bilderberg Conference" on world affairs. {4}It turns out everyone knew about the Bilderberg Group, Sannyasinman. Your claim that the group denied its own existence is an oxymoron. It is not impossible for a group that does not exist to go about saying that they do not exist.
Papers relating to Garret FitzGerald’s tenure as Ireland’s Minister for External Affairs, 1973–77 list the Bilderberg conference among his official duties: “Ministerial meetings: briefing documents and reports relating to the Minister’s meetings both at home and abroad and including the Council of Ministers of the EC, European Summit meetings, the United Nations General Assembly, the Organisation for European Cooperation and Development [OECD], and the Bilderberg Conference.” {5}
There was a very informative Associated Press article reprinted in Penn State University’s The Daily Collegian in 1976, “Bernhard launched the secret Bilderberg meetings in 1954, saying top government and business officials from North America and Western Europe should be able to talk with total frankness behind closed doors.” {6}
The Washington Post noted on April 24, 1978, "The three-day 26th Bilderberg Meeting concluded at a secluded cluster of shingled buildings in what was once a farmer's field. Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Carter's national security adviser, Swedish Prime Minister Thorbjorrn Falldin, former secretary of state Henry Kissinger and NATO Commander Alexander M. Haig Jr. were among 104 North American and European leaders at the conference." {7}
There was no sign of secrecy when Journalist Jean Stead wrote in The Guardian on April 28, 1986: "The 34th Bilderberg conference ended at Gleneagles Hotel, Perthshire, yesterday after a debate on the South African crisis attended by Prince Charles. He arrived for the economic debate on Saturday and stayed overnight at the hotel." {8}
I found a Bilderberg article containing a touch of humor too. "Mr. Paddy Ashdown is not yet wholly at ease with the trappings of office, even if the office in question is only that of leader of the Social and Liberal Democrats. Attending the Bilderberg Conference of European political leaders in Spain last week, he was deeply impressed by the splendour of the official cars and the intensity of the security precautions laid on for his arrival. Reaching the conference headquarters at last, he sank into a chair and said to his neighbour: 'Hello, I'm Paddy Ashdown.' The neighbour smiled diffidently, put out his hand, and said: 'Hello, I'm the King of Spain.'" {9}You have all these questions and you make no attempt to find the answers by yourself. Read the list of more than 30 attendees published by the Toronto Star in 1996. “Lord Carrington, Conference chairman; former NATO secretary-general; Francisco Pinto Balsemao, Former prime minister of Portugal; Queen Beatrix, Netherlands; Lloyd Bentsen, Former treasury secretary, U.S.; Carl Bildt …” [snipped for brevity] {10}
All the claims of attendee secrecy are ludicrous. In 1998, the Rt. Hon. Kenneth Clarke (Rushcliffe) declared in Parliament’s Register of Members' Interests under category 5. Gifts, benefits and hospitality (UK) “14-17 May 1998, I attended the Bilderberg Conference at Turnberry in Scotland. I paid my own travel expenses to and from the Conference, but my accommodation for three nights was paid for me by the organisers. (Registered 10 June 1998)” {11}
Again, in 1999: “3-6 June 1999, to Portugal, to attend Bilderberg meetings. I paid for my own air fare; the hotel accommodation for three nights was paid for by the organisers. (Registered 9 June 1999)” {12}
It seems, Sannyasinman, all the claims of secrecy and world dominance are totally unjustified. You could have found all of this information for yourself if you wanted to. Stop and think for just a moment or two about the security needed to protect such a gathering of royalty and world dignitaries. Too many conspiracy advocates are confusing secrecy with security and confidentiality. They certainly are not searching for the truth.

Now that the Bilderberg Conference is over, it is possible for me provide a list of attendees for 2013. Yes, the information is available in the main stream media and I did not have to resort to so called “conspiracy sites.”
