Trump’s buddie, Thiel, is on the list.
30 years ago, I would have said that those concerned about Bilderberg conspiracies were a bunch of Ron Paul nutcases. Now, it seems like they were right.
Jared Kushner is part of Bilderberg Group? That explains a lot about why Ivanka seems to often counter what her dad says or at least attempt to make it palatable to the elite.
Thanks for the Bilderberg list, Melian. Grabbed it for my Illuminati file!
For fun, I sorted the list by country. I noticed zero representation from Asia, Africa, Latin America, or Oceania. Among the former communist countries, only Poland and Estonia are represented. Turkey is the sole country from the Muslim world.
