The 2017 Bilderberg Meeting took place during the first four days of June; and was held in Chantilly Virginia, USA. The meetings of this influential group began in 1954 at the Hotel de Bilderberg; thus given them their name. This 65th meeting of the Bilderberg Group was the eleventh (11th) held in the United States. The 1976 Conference was to be held in Virginia, but it was cancelled due to an investigation of one of its key and founding members Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands. According to reports, the Prince accepted a $1.1 million bribe from Lockheed to motivate the Royal Family to purchase aircraft from the California based company.
This 2017 meeting was the fourth time the group met the Westfields Marriott in Chantilly, VA; making it the most visited annual conference site; passing Switzerland’s Palace Hotel. As with the past conferences, the secretive meetings are not open to the public or the press. However, this year does have a new twist. HackBack and The Anonymous Group of hackers in December 2016 hacked Bilderberg’s website and let them know “we Will watch yOu.”
But more so, Anonymous warned in part, “Words are not enough to tell you how much we despises you and your dominant behavior …each topic you discuss or work you achieve through Your uber private meetings should from now benefit world populations and not X or Y group of people otherwise, we will find you and we will hack you… we control your expensive connected cars… house security devices… laptop… mobile… we are inside your beloved banks and we are reading your assets…” The full Text is at the end of this work.
2017 Topics
According to BilderbergMeetings.org “The 65th Bilderberg Meeting will take place from 1-4 June 2017 in Chantilly, Virginia, USA. As of today, 131 participants from 21 countries have confirmed their attendance. As ever, a diverse group of political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia and the media has been invited. The list of participants is available here. “ The site listed the following ‘key topics.’
The key topics for discussion this year include:
- The Trump Administration: A progress report
- Trans-Atlantic relations: options and scenarios
- The Trans-Atlantic defence alliance: bullets, bytes and bucks
- The direction of the EU
- Can globalization be slowed down?
- Jobs, income and unrealized expectations
- The war on information
- Why is populism growing?
- Russia in the international order
- The Near East
- Nuclear proliferation
- China
- Current events
It is funny hearing Bilderberg asking if globalization can be slowed down; when its founders and steering members have been and are for globalization and or a One World Government. David Rockefeller (a chief Bilderberger and son of John the Monopolist) wrote in his Memoirs (2003), “Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it…”
In Gary Allen’s The Rockefeller File (1998) he said, “By the late nineteenth century, the inner sanctums of Wall Street understood that the most efficient way to gain a monopoly was to say it was for the ‘public good’ and ‘public interest’…”
In F.C. Howe’s Confessions of a Monopolist (1906), he wrote, “The rules of big business: Get a monopoly; let Society work for you. So long as we see all international revolutionaries and all international capitalists as implacable enemies of one another, then we miss a crucial point….a partnership between international monopoly capitalism and international revolutionary socialism is for their mutual benefit.”
Another Bilderberg speaker, a head of Google, Eric Schmidt, at the Davos conference said, “I assume that everybody here agrees that globalization is wonderful.”
Long-time Steering Committee member Denis Healey said, “To say we were striving for a one-world government is exaggerated, but not wholly unfair. Those of us in Bilderberg felt we couldn’t go on forever fighting one another for nothing and killing people and rendering millions homeless. So we felt that a single community throughout the world would be a good thing.”
Bill Gates also see it as a good thing saying, “Globalization has made copper and other minerals more valuable, and Ghana and Kenya have recently discovered mineral resources.” The problem is that Gates is blind to the same thing that happen during their times of colonization. The rich controllers – international corporations, which lobbyist, bribes and politicians – take most of the resources and profits (as Gates did himself at Microsoft) and leave the common workers and people poor.
And these elite types don’t work alone; several Trilateral Commission leaders and Council on Foreign Relations leaders often work with and cross paths of the same Bilderberg members and their associates. They also often have the same agenda and serve and attended each other’s meetings.
Zbigniew Brzezinski (Trilateral co-founder; and Bilderberger) wrote in his Between Two Ages – America’s Role in the Technotronic Era, “People, governments and economies of all nations must serve the needs of multinational banks and corporations. (The Constitution is) inadequate….the old framework of international politics, with their sphere of influence….the fiction of sovereignty….is clearly no longer compatible with reality….”
And note not only several heads of some of the world’s largest banks attending the 2017 meeting but also a key executive of the World Bank not on the list (Fernando Latorre who arrived with Spain’s Minister of Economy and Industry). But Christine Lagarde of the International Monetary Fund of the UN was present and on the list.
It should be noted that President Trump was also well represented by several department members, including a deputy on the National Security Council. And his friend and Bilderberg Steering Committee member, billionaire Peter Thiel attended again. He is also supports Trumps Gay movement and the American Foundation for Equal Rights as well as lobbies numerous members of Congress for gay rights. Peter was key in getting Ann Coulter (the conservative on issues she considers conservative) to speak at Homocon 2010. Thiel was owner of Pay Pal with he sold to Ebay for about $1.5 billion. Then Thiel started the Clarium Capital – global hedge fund – thus, he is into globalization.
As to the topic Nelson Mandela once said, “Where globalization means, as it so often does, that the rich and powerful now have new means to further enrich and empower themselves at the cost of the poorer and weaker, we have a responsibility to protest in the name of universal freedom.”
