The Bilderberg Group was officially formed in 1954 with its first conference at the Hotel de Bilderberg in Oosterbeek, Netherlands. The group was created to bring together leaders from European countries and the United States with the aim of promoting Atlanticism. (better understanding between the cultures of the United States and Western Europe to foster co-operation on political, economic and defense issues.) Historically, attendees of the Bilderberg Groups meetings have been mostly bankers, politicians, and directors of large businesses. The group is notoriously secretive, and even though prominent members of the main stream media attend the groups conferences, there is never any reporting by these attendees on what goes on behind the closed doors of the Bilderberg Group.
The secretive nature of the meetings, along with the attendance of political, and business elite, give the group great opportunities to steer policy, and create crises to promote their own financial or ideological agendas.
Denis Healey, a Bilderberg group founder said: “To say we were striving for a one-world government is exaggerated, but not wholly unfair. Those of us in Bilderberg felt we couldn’t go on forever fighting one another for nothing and killing people and rendering millions homeless. So we felt that a single community throughout the world would be a good thing.”
Of the 2015 meeting of the Bilderberg Group, Washington Times reporter Dave Boyer says: “Depending on your level of suspicion, the Bilderberg Group is either a secretive group of powerful elites bent on global domination or a secretive group of powerful elites with big ideas and bigger heads.”
Either way, The Bilderberg Group is a secretive group of powerful elites. And when people like that meet, you can bet they are making decisions to benefit themselves, even at the expense of the rest of us.
The 63rd Bilderberg conference is set to take place from 11 – 14 June 2015 in Telfs-Buchen, Austria. A total of around 140 participants from 22 countries have confirmed their attendance.

Hey very interesting blog!
And if there really was an Illuminati, Alex Jones would be part of it. His OTT poirnaad conspiracy schick is just too useful to discredit anyone who asks questions the elites don’t want to answer.
There’s noticeably a bundle to learn about this. I assume you made certain good factors in options also.
This web page is mostly a stroll-through for the entire info you wanted about this and didn? know who to ask. Glimpse right here, and you?l definitely uncover it.
Howdy would you mind letting me know which hosting company you’re utilizing?
I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different web browsers and I must say this blog
loads a lot faster then most. Can you suggest a good web hosting provider at
a honest price? Many thanks, I appreciate it! http://bing.org
