The Bilderberg group was started during the Cold War to increase understanding between world leaders of Europe and the United States. The group was founded in 1954 by Prince Bernhard in Oosterbeek, Netherlands and it's named after the hotel that they met in that first year.
The idea behind founding the group was that the World Wars that had started in Europe could be averted in future if the leaders of those countries had a chance to meet and get to know each other in an informal setting. Now, each year, 100 odd government, economic and business leaders are invited to meet and talk freely WITHOUT the interference of the new media, or their own constituents for that matter.
The list of attendees is always made public and members of the press may attend, but may not report on proceedings. Minutes are kept, however they only reflect what was said, not who said it.
Because the meetings are behind doors and what is said is kept secret, Conspiracy Theorists are CONVINCED this is an evil plot for a "One World Government/NWO". However, the group proposes NO legislation, issues NO policy statements and takes NO votes. The participants regard it as an opportunity to chat informally with people who are their international peers WITHOUT every word being scrutinized on the nightly news.
Conspiracy Theorists do not seem to realise that National and International leaders need to share ideas and concerns just like professional associations of doctors, real estate agents and school teachers do WITHOUT having to screen every word they say! So in a nutshell, the Bilderberg Group are not creating a universal, zionist-dominated, globally controlled New World Order.
But...the facts are never quite as titillating as the fiction are they?
