Bilderberg Group to talk Russia, Trump and “information war”
in news ^ | June 1, 2017 | Staff and agencies

Many of the world’s most powerful people are gathering for the annual meeting of the mysterious Bilderberg Group this week. Russia, the Trump administration and ‘The war on information’ are among key topics up for discussion.

This year’s gathering takes place in Chantilly, Virginia, less than 30 miles from the White House, and goings on in the Oval Office are top of the agenda for the 131 people who’ve confirmed they’re attending.

Many top White House figures will be at the four-day event, including the Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, National Security Advisor HR McMaster and Assistant to the President Christopher Liddell.

Other topics up for discussion include ‘Russia in the international order,’ China, ‘The Trans-Atlantic defence alliance: bullets, bytes and bucks,’ ‘The war on information,’ ‘Direction of the EU’ and ‘Why is populism growing?’

This year’s event marks the 65th meeting of the infamously-secretive group which has met every year since 1954. Denis Healey, Joseph Retinger, David Rockefeller and Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands were the group’s founders.

The group says the conference is “designed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America.” Each year it’s attended by people from the fields of politics, industry, finance, media and academia. About two thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from North America.

As well of some of Trump’s top brass, other attendees this year include Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, Republican senators Tom Cotton and Lindsey Graham, and Chinese Ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai.

Editors, and chief commentators, from several world famous publications including Bloomberg, The Economist, The Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera and the London Evening Standard will also be in attendance.

Notorious for the lack of information about what happens during the discussions, meetings are closed to the public and to reporting journalists. All of the the meetings are held under the Chatham House Rule, which means that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speakers can be revealed. Also, no minutes are taken and no report is written.

Nobody can buy their way into the meetings, rather they have to be invited. The invited guests are not allowed to bring their partners and the group reportedly never visits the same hotel twice.

Among the most famous past attendees are Henry Kissinger (who is going again this year), Bill Gates, numerous members of European royal families, Bill Clinton, and Margaret Thatcher, who both attended before they rose to power.

I wouldn’t shed a damned tear if a MOAB happened to come off a air force jet flying overhead and it happened to land right on that damned pit of vipers.

Just like if one fell over a certain national park area near san fran sicko i would lose no sleep at all, in fact it could cure my insomnia.

Would also be a shame if the individuals protecting them were made known.

Just happens that Rush Limbaugh is not on the job these same days. However, if I were invited to attend, I certainly would. I would want to know what they were up to. I am probably not alone in that sentiment.

Add this to the mix on who is running our country before Trump and does Trump know who to fire/remove to stop this. This man, John Guandolo, says we are infested with muslims who aim to rule this country. He has credentials and has advised many in Washington, but the recognition of the danger is being ignored by most. It seems to me, the muslims are given the leeway to do what they have planned because we, as a country, believe in freedom of religion. This man (and I agree) says this is not about religion.. it’s about taking over our country...it’s about sharia law being placed into our courts... pieces of cities being labeled as muslim and Americans stay out.... it’s a war to bring down our country and make it theirs. The brotherhood is in every facet of our government, state and federal... we all know obama had them in his administration... and they have not all been removed. This man said Sessions is aware of the muslim dangers... that Ryan and McCain are bent in the direction of the brotherhood.... as are the democrats. The number they announced being brought into our country just last week, he said is dangerous and should not be allowed .. he said the President doesn’t have to ask for permission to stop this.. he doesn’t have to have the courts to approve or the Supreme court to give him the okay.. President Trump has the power to stop all of the invasion of our country. The camel’s nose is all the way under the tent.

https://www.understandingthethreat.com/

John Guandolo wants this information out and about as much as he can ... the media is not going to... the left is not going to.. and it’s vital to our survival as a nation. The ones meeting at this ‘summit’ are upset over Trump being elected .. and so are the muslim brotherhood .. we are being set up for destruction.. the powers that thought they had it well on its way... are trying to remove our President who stands in their way.. as do we Conservatives... they want us out also. They figure we all are weak and not too smart.. so it will be an easy task.

ABOUT BILDERBERG MEETINGS

Since its inaugural meeting in 1954, Bilderberg has been an annual forum for informal discussions, designed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America. Every year, between 120-150 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia and the media are invited to take part in the meeting. About two thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from North America; one third from politics and government and the rest from other fields. The meeting is a forum for informal discussions about megatrends and major issues facing the world. 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 of any other participant may be revealed. Thanks to the private nature of the meeting, the participants are not bound by the conventions of their office or by pre-agreed positions. 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.

The 2017 Bilderberg Meeting takes place from 1 - 4 June in Chantilly VA, USA. A press release including the list of topics and participants can be found here.
