Lookingintosecretmattersisnevereasy,norisdealingwiththebiasonemustslogthrough.Themainstreammediahave,untilrecently,barelymentionedtheGroup.Meanwhile,theBildergergGrouphasbecomeabogeymanofthefringe,wheretheirreputationmay,infact,bewelldeserved.

In1954,themostpowerfulmenintheworldmetforthefirsttimeundertheauspicesoftheDutchroyalcrownandtheRockefellerfamilyattheluxuriousHotelBilderberginthesmallDutchtownofOosterbeek.Foranentireweekend,theydebatedthefutureoftheworld.
Whenitwasover,theydecidedtomeetonceeveryyeartoexchangeideasandanalyzeinternationalaffairs.TheynamedthemselvestheBilderbergGroup.Sincethen,theyhavegatheredyearlyinaluxurious

AmongtheselectmembersofthisclubareBillClinton,PaulWolfowitz,HenryKissinger,DavidRockefeller,ZbigniewBrzezinski,TonyBlairandmanyotherheadsofgovernment,businessmen,politicians,bankersandjournalistsfromallovertheworld.
Nevertheless,inthemorethanfiftyyearsoftheirmeetings,thepresshasneverbeenallowedtoattend,nostatementshaveeverbeenreleasedontheattendees’conclusions,norhasanyagendaforaBilderbergmeetingbeenmadepublic.LeadersoftheBilderbergGrouparguethatthisdiscretionisnecessarytoallowparticipantsinthedebatestospeakfreelywithoutbeingontherecord,orreportedpublicly.Otherwise,Bilderbergersclaim,theywouldbeforcedtospeakinthelanguageofapressrelease.Nodoubt,thisdiscretionallowstheBilderbergGrouptodeliberatemorefreely.Butthatdoesnotrespondtothefundamentalquestion:Whatdotheworld’smostpowerfulpeopletalkaboutinthesemeetings?

Itiscertainlycuriousthatnomainstreammediaoutletconsidersagatheringofsuchfigures,whosewealthfarexceedsthecombinedwealthofallUnitedStatescitizens,tobenewsworthy,whenatripbyanyoneofthemontheirownmakesheadlinenewsonTV.ThisistheconundrumthatIhavepondered.Fifteenyearsagoitsetmeonaninvestigativejourneythathasbecomemylife’swork.Slowly,onebyone,IhavepenetratedthelayersofsecrecysurroundingtheBilderbergGroup,butIcouldnothavedonethiswithoutthehelpof
