The 68th Bilderberg Meeting took place between June 2nd and June 5th 2022 in Washington, D.C., USA. Around 120 participants from 21 countries attended. As ever, a diverse group of political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia, labour and the media were invited.
Among the attendees: Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, CIA Director William Burns, and a host of other powerful figures from media, tech, and finance. The meeting’s agenda included topics ranging from geopolitical realignment to the future of democracy — all discussed in strict secrecy with no press access.
What do the head of the CIA, the CEO of the world’s largest pharmaceutical company, and the Secretary General of NATO have to discuss that requires complete media blackout and secretive off-the-record sessions?
The convergence of intelligence, military, pharmaceutical, and financial leadership in a single closed-door meeting raises fundamental questions about democratic accountability. None of these attendees were elected by the public, yet their decisions affect billions of lives.
Bilderberg claims its secrecy encourages “frank and open discussion.” Critics counter that secrecy serves power, not the public interest.
