From today until May 17, approximately 150 of the most influential members of the world's elite will be meeting behind closed doors at a hotel in Greece. They are called the Bilderberg Group or the "Bilderbergers," and you have probably never heard of them.
The group, co-founded by Prince Bernard of the Netherlands, has been meeting in secret every year since 1954. This year, says the British broadsheet The Times, they are meeting at the Nafsika Astir Palace in Vouliagmeni.
The individuals at the meeting come from such power houses as Google and the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. Senate and European royalty. Governments, the banking industry, big oil, media and even the world of academia are amongst the Bilderberg ranks.
Those reportedly in attendance at last year's conference in Virginia include former U.S. senator Tom Daschle; Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner and his predecessor Henry M. Paulson; former U.S. secretaries of state Henry Kissinger and Condoleezza Rice; Microsoft executive Craig Mundie; senior Wall Street Journal editor Paul Gigot; World Bank President Robert Zoellick and Google CEO Eric Schmidt.

Don't think he'd be on any list of "people who want to run the world."
Is this the same thing as the Council on Foreign Relations? Trilateralists?
Too many of these secret groups. They are like something out of a Robert Ludlum novel.
I saw a similar article on the back page of the front section of the WSJ weekend edition. How secret can this organization be?
(Crickets)
Obama runs the world!
Where is Tim Geithner ? Is he there this year?
I mentioned this to my daughter this weekend and she had never heard of it so I'll send her the url to the site.
Dude they don’t even have to meet in secret Obama could read off the Bildeberg secret list of world domination and he would still have 60% approval rating.
He's in Europe, on un-announced business. YES.
“Remember how we used to laugh at some about the Bilderberger and other ‘so called’ conspiracy theories years ago?”
Today’s heretic is tomorrow’s prophet.
Cen we get them to do something about spam ?
Actually, I believe it is God who runs the world. Too bad none of these elites acknowledge Him.
This is Alex Jones’ favorite consiracy theory subject I think...and that 9/11 was an inside job
0bama is the man who integrated the Bilderbergers. Until then it was whiter than the KKK
Since I wasn’t informed about the meeting, I’d have to say NO
Didn’t you know, I’m the Queen of the Universe ;-)
I came to decide just this year the Bilderberg group was for real and not tinfoil stuff.
I don't like the secrecy either, and wonder just how much power they wield. I fear they operate behind the scenes and do have a lot of power and not just the US. Haaretz is pretty credible and reliable, a little more pro-Palestinian than say the Jerusalem Post, I believe.
