Who runs the world?

Who runs the world?

In the current global situation, wouldn’t it make sense if the leaders from all the big corporations and big nations met together with specialists to devise a comprehensive plan for the world? Well, they do meet and have been doing it for the greater part of a century. The association is known as the Bilderberg group, only because that was the name of the hotel in the Netherlands where they first met.

Every year since 1954, the men and women who control the world meet in different locations. These meetings are held strictly in secret. No one knows what gets talked about. Until recently, no one knew who attends (now this list can be easily accessed through wikipedia and other sources).

How do you become a Bilderberger? You have to get invited. Which usually only about 130 people are every year. In order to get an invitation, you generally have to be an expert in a particular field that they want to discuss, be part of congress, be the leader of a nation, or be a CEO of a major corporation (especially media and financial institutions). To name a few, both Clintons have attended, Robert McNamara, Henry Kissinger, Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, Dan Quayle, and all the prime ministers of Canada. The World Bank, the Federal Reserve, the “Big 10” media corporations, the big banks, and defense contractors are represented at every meeting. Many other powerful corporations are represented such as IBM, Fiat, BP, Microsoft, Google, and Nokia.

In 2006, they met in Ottawa, Canada, and there was virtually no media coverage of it. In 2002, they met in Virginia and nearly no one knew about it.

It is good that they are meeting because it would certainly be helpful to have a single cohesive plan to further international cooperation. However, it is not good that there is no coverage of their meetings. Important meetings like this should not be held in complete secrecy. There is no accountability for these men; there is no scrutiny. The purpose of a democracy is to monitor the aristocracy, and this sort of government secrecy makes this impossible.
