Nice to see dear old Georgy Porgy present along with his opposite number Ed Balls.

Never let it be said that British politics is stitched up.

Bilderberg 2014 : Full List of Official Attendees

May 31st, 2014 |


The 2014 Bilderberg meeting is taking place at the Marriott Hotel in Copenhagen. As usual, the meeting gathers some of the world's most powerful people from the financial, political and business worlds, not to mention representatives of mass media and elite think tanks. As usual, the result of the discussions are completely secret.
Official items on the agenda include "The future of democracy and the middle-class trap", "The new architecture of the Middle East" and the major geopolitical crisis of the moment: "Ukraine". Several topics that are less PR-friendly will evidently be discussed such as the evolution of a globalized world order.
As David Rockefeller, a Bilderberg veteran stated in his memoirs:

"Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."
- David Rockefeller, "Memoirs"
