You don’t have to indulge in any conspiracy theories to find it interesting who got invited to this year’s Bilderberg Group meeting underway in Lisbon. The meetings are secret, with no notes or recordings taken of formal sessions (unlike the WEF), but participants are allowed to talk about what went on so long as they don’t attribute views to anyone – the so-called Chatham House rules.
The group bills itself as “an annual conference designed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America. Every year, between 120-140 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, labour, 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; approximately a quarter from politics and government and the rest from other fields.”
It is thus a smaller, less global (Europe and North America only) and more secretive gathering than the WEF. In its secrecy, it resembles the Bohemian Grove gatherings in California, but far more buttoned down than the rustic setting permits. There is an overlap among the attendees at the elite gatherings, so there is no point in identifying one or another of them as the locus of some global conspiracy.
My own view of these elite confabs is that they enable people to make a human connection to others, who may be a useful source of information, influence, or consultation at some point in the future. They can get a sense of each other, maybe shake hands or share food and drink, and pass along useful thoughts or information. From then on, they can get each other on the phone, arrange meetings, or otherwise interact with ease and speed.

The array of globally influential figures includes NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, with the dynamics of global security cooperation in sharp focus as the war in Ukraine continues with no end in sight.
Also on the security front, attending the meeting are Avril Haines, U.S. director of National Intelligence, and Thomas Wright, senior director for Strategic Planning at the National Security Council.
There’s no shortage of political leaders, including Roberta Metsola, president of the European Parliament, Mark Rutte, prime minister of the Netherlands, and Finland’s outgoing Prime Minister Sanna Marin, who lost an election but continues to serve as part of a caretaker government until a new cabinet is formed.
Also attending is Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the creator of the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT that has grabbed headlines for its potential to replace humans in jobs. Other prominent tech figures include Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir Technologies, and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt.
Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer, is also on the list of participants, as is Thiel Capital founder Peter Thiel, and John Waldron, president of Goldman Sachs.
I find serial failed candidate Stacy Abrams, who is at the top of the list because her last name begins with an A and a b, somewhat interesting. What does she have to contribute, other than political insight and influence regarding left wing, progressive politics? She is an insider on the machinations of the Democrats to get hold of the electoral process and remain permanently in power by manipulating the electoral machinery and voter rolls.
That is, perhaps, the real “tell” of the group. These are for the most part heads of powerful organizations who have their own goals, and who can multiply their effectiveness by coordinating covertly.
Axis of Evil
Target of opportunity
The big agenda this year is population control.
Meaning slay huge numbers of people but not them
How many of these “elites” were screwing kids on Epstein’s island?
She’s an election denier. Doesn’t that make her a conspiracy theorist and a criminal?
Stacy Abrams is only there for one thing , MONEY
Well…there’s also an all-you-can-eat buffet…
"One of these things is not like the others...."
Aren’t they serving only Bugs ?
The bugs are for us peasants and future slave laborers. Our rulers will get the prime rib.
They invited her because they knew many vegans would be attending and didn’t want all the chicken and ribs to go to waste.
They are the enforcers of WEF…
Bilderbergers are so john birch. The wef are the cool kids today.
I can only guess that Abrams is there because she would be willing to commit mass murder to serve the globalists.
