Westfields Marriott in Virginia

The annual Bilderberg meeting, a very secretive and little publicized conference reuniting the world’s elite in the fields of politics, business and policy making, is underway in Virginia until June 3rd. While a few articles in major newspapers have appeared regarding the 2012 Bilderberg meeting, they provide little to no information about its agenda and they mostly describe how “conspiracy theorists” get all hyped up about the meetings.

Well, even if mass media likes to tag those who are interested in Bilderberg meetings as “conspiracy theorists”, the fact is that they do reunite the world’s most powerful people in a secretive, informal and off-the-record setting in order to discuss plans for the future. If you think nothing is brewing there, take a look at the official list of participants and the magnitude of the organizations they represent. Those are the people who take decisions regarding the world’s future, not “elected” officials.

Here’s the list of attendees taken from the Bilderberg’s official website.
