The Bilderberg Group, a notoriously shadowy organization with a membership roster that includes some of the world’s most powerful and influential people, are convening their annual meetings this weekend in Lisbon, Portugal.
Oddly enough, there is a complete media blackout in the corporate press surrounding the upcoming conference, despite the significant geopolitical ramifications attached to its members and the agenda items being discussed. Your humble correspondent still cannot find a single story previewing the Bilderberg meetings in the corporate media.
If you’re familiar with the World Economic Forum’s annual closed-door, invite-only Davos confab, then you can get a sense of what Bilderberg entails. Yet Bilderberg is a level up of exclusivity, given that fewer than 150 people usually end up with invites to the conference, as opposed to the thousands who go to Davos. Bilderberg consists only of the very top business tycoons, royals, media influencers, and government power brokers.
Independent journalists on the ground, Charlie Skelton and Dan Dicks, believe that the meetings will take place at the 5 star Pestana Palace Hotel in Lisbon, which is noticeably unavailable for reservations this weekend.
The Bilderberg website has not been updated since 2022, but we do have confirmation that the meetings are taking place via the European Commission website, which noted it on the calendar of two of its top officials. Other than that, there is a total comms blackout concerning expected attendees.
The Bilderberg meetings have been a regular occurrence since the mid 1950s, with the inaugural meeting in 1954 at the Bilderberg Hotel in the Netherlands.
Although it is significantly staffed by publicly elected officials, the discussions that happen during Bilderberg conferences remain a closely guarded secret. Unsurprisingly, this has led many to suspect that the powerful globalist ideologues who attend these closed-door wargaming discussions are up to no good. Organizers defend the secretive nature of the conference by claiming that it allows attendees to speak informally among peers.
To get a sense of why Bilderberg conferences are often associated with conspiratorial inquiry, look no further than the roster of last year’s meeting in Washington, D.C.
The meetings included several heads of state and the world’s most powerful spy chiefs. On the American side, it included multiple Biden Administration cabinet level officials, and the likes of the CIA Director, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, Eric Schmidt of Google, Sam Altman of ChatGPT, and Peter Thiel, to name a few. On the European side, attendees included the British and French spy chiefs and NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg, among others. The topics of discussion included:
1. Geopolitical Realignments 2. NATO Challenges 3. China 4. Indo-Pacific Realignment 5. Sino-US Tech Competition 6. Russia 7. Continuity of Government and the Economy 8. Disruption of the Global Financial System 9. Disinformation 10. Energy Security and Sustainability 11. Post Pandemic Health 12. Fragmentation of Democratic Societies 13. Trade and Deglobalisation 14. Ukraine
This year’s agenda has not yet been released, and attendees have not yet been revealed. NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg will be in town, but the only publicly confirmed attendees are EU commissioners Paolo Gentiloni and Didier Reynders Justice. The Dossier will be following up as soon as we gather more information.
Fixed it.
Be a good place to drop a nuke.
Sure would.

Yeah, the head rooty-tooties are all sooo busy planning out what the peasants will be doing.
In the meantime the pheasant is shaving off that last 1/2 MOA from their third build, this one is going to the pheasant’s daughter, who just turned 12.

If there is ANY public or private international forum with strategic implications on the United States, the American personnel attending are always debriefed for intelligence. Every nation does it, some better than others. Hello, Israel.
But you will never hear of DoD, State Department or CIA/FBI reports on the happenings at Bilderberg and its implication on US foreign, economic or military policies.
So what do we make of it? An annual event where somehow, supernaturally, all of the normal rules for state craft is absent. The very state craft used to keep states secure: intelligence.
Satanism. The Prince and power of the air has to have a realm to rule somehow and somewhere to achieve physical results on earth.
What is it with Portugal these days?
It seems many people are moving there and it pops up in stories more and more.
Did I miss something?
I was just getting ready to do that. Thank you!

Another topic: “Cricket farming for profit..”
I’ve always wondered how it is that NO DATA ever leaks from these meetings. I realize that the attendees themselves probably wouldn’t leak anything (unless it went against their personal beliefs, which must never happen), but we KNOW that these people aren’t going somewhere where their every whim won’t be catered to. And the “workers” have to hear stuff. It’s just amazing that no one has bugged the conference rooms, or anything like that. (Pulled notes out of the trash, etc.) NOTHING! After all these years.
I wonder what fresh hell they are conjuring up for us this time.
Portugal, eh? The Curse Of Oak Island boys must have dug up their Templar treasure and they’re plotting to to get it back.
Looks like the Portuguese government has been bought and paid for too.
“2. NATO Challenges”
How about disbanding it. Let Europe defend itself. For once.
Yup, hmmmm....

"covening" is more like it.
Double, double, toil and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble...
When shall we three meet again—
In fire, lightning or in rain?
When the hurlyburly's done
When the battle's lost and won...

Thanks to your link, Openurmind, below is the US delegation ONLY for 2023.
Holy cow, literally: Stacy Abrams? I guess she’s being primed to be our next Al Sharpton.
Henry Kissinger is still on the list at age 175 (just kidding; he’s only turning 100 this month). One hopes he is there virtually via the innertubes; but you never know.
Last year’s meeting: USA sent 35 out of 119.
This year’s meeting: USA sent 29 out of 107.
So, slightly less than a third. They must have a quota. This thing was started in 1954 by two men from Netherlands and Poland, respectively, and included our home-grown globalist, David Rockefeller.
There are a few nominally conservative or at least centrist voices among our delegates: Niall Ferguson, Matt Pottinger, Nadia Schadlow, Peter Thiel, possibly Ashley Tellis; a little bit centrist Thomas Wright.
On the globalist side, the usual types, including Sally Benson of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, as “deputy director for Energy and Chief Strategist for the Energy Transition.” Our media has been diligently investigating Biden’s “Energy Transition”—NOT.
