.. This year, the Bilderberg Group (named after the Dutch hotel in which it held its first conference in 1954), has invited a handful of the planet’s most powerful to the luxurious Grove Hotel, where attendees will be able to cavort with their peers away from the glare of democratic oversight. This high level of privacy has attracted a mixed bag of reactions.
“If a hundred of the world’s best-known sports figures or film stars were gathered at some exclusive resort behind closed doors for a private meeting, the entirety of the mass media would be on hand, clamoring for admittance and demanding to know what was going on,” commented James P. Tucker, the late investigative journalist who was one of the first to throw a spotlight on the Bilderberg meetings over two decades ago.
“When the world’s richest bankers, media barons, industrialists, members of royalty and political leaders were meeting secretly and discussing public policy matters that impacted on the course of the world’s affairs, the establishment press never said a word,” Tucker added.
Proponents of the meeting, however, say that collaboration among individuals is possible to occur without the necessity of an exclusive event.
“The idea that the so-called global elite need to have a special retreat in order to hatch sinister plots that run counter to the needs of the people is simply ridiculous,” a former attendee of the event, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told RT.
