Globalists converge for secret meeting on AI, world affairs
Some of the world’s most powerful globalists converged this weekend on Lisbon, Portugal for the 69th annual Bilderberg Meeting, a top-secret conference whose details attendees are warned never to disclose.
As in past years, it is unknown exactly what was discussed or decided during the three-day summit held this year May 19–21. No photos, recordings, footage, documents or minutes were released, if taken at all. There have been no detailed reports, despite members of the media being in attendance, including The Economist Editor-in-Chief Zanny Minton Beddoes, The Atlantic Staff Writer Anne Applebaum, The Financial Times Chief Foreign Affairs Commentator Gideon Rachman and Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait.
The little that is known about the summit is what the Bilderberg group chooses to reveal. That includes some topics of discussion at the conference such as AI, banking, China, energy transition, Europe, industrial policy, NATO, Russia, transnational threats, Ukraine, and the United States’ role in the world.
The list of attendees, released in advance by Bilderberg, consists of 130 participants from 23 countries across several sectors, including world leaders. In attendance were Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Goldman Sachs President and COO John Waldron, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, World Economic Forum President Børge Brende, failed Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, European Commission Vice President Josep Borrell, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director Jen Easterly, Canada Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, US Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, European Parliament President Roberta Metsola, former Google CEO and Chair Eric Schmidt, and many others.
“Thanks to the private nature of the Meeting, the participants take part as individuals rather than in any official capacity, and hence are not bound by the conventions of their office or by pre-agreed positions,” says the Bilderberg Group on its sparse website. “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 first meeting took place in 1954 at the Bilderberg Hotel in the Netherlands at the behest of the country’s Prince Bernhard. It has remained a tight-lipped affair ever since. As noted by political commentator Mark Dice, politicians refrain from mentioning the Bilderberg Group, with the exception of former Representative Ron Paul (R-TX).
The group is credited as being responsible for the creation of the European Union, after leaked documents from the group’s 1955 meeting show a push for an economic union of Europe, which was then ratified two years later with the European Economic Community Treaty.
