LONDON (AP) — It's a busy weekend at the luxury Grove Hotel, favored haunt of British soccer players and their glitz-loving spouses.

More than 100 of the world's most powerful people are at the former manor house near London for a secretive annual gathering that has attained legendary status in the eyes of anti-capitalist protesters and conspiracy theorists.

The guest list for the Bilderberg meeting includes Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde and former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. British Prime Minister David Cameron is due to drop by Friday.

The Bilderberg Group was set up in 1954 to support military and economic co-operation between Europe and North America during the Cold War.

Named for the site of its first meeting — the Bilderberg Hotel in Oosterbeek, Holland — the forum for prominent politicians, thinkers and business leaders has been held annually at a series of secluded venues in Europe and North America.

What happens at Bilderberg, stays at Bilderberg. There is no media access and the public is kept away by a large security operation. The group says that "there is no detailed agenda, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken, and no policy statements are issued."

But in a move toward slightly more openness, the group now has a website, which lists attendees and key topics for discussion, including the economy, U.S. foreign policy, "cyber warfare and the proliferation of asymmetric threats" and "major trends in medical research."

Invitees include British Treasury chief George Osborne, Goldman Sachs chairman Peter Sutherland and Thomas Enders, CEO of aerospace company EADS.

Publication of these details has done little to ease the concerns of protesters, who sense a shadowy global elite at work in the secretive meeting.

"When 130 of the leaders from all across the West get together, and many of these are billionaires, they are people who are immensely wealthy and immensely powerful," said Michael Meacher, a lawmaker from Britain's Labour Party.

"And when they all get together, it's not just to have a chat about the latest problem, it is to concert plans for the future of capitalism in the West. That is on a very different scale."

Others go even further, putting Bilderberg at the heart of a global web of conspiracy. The protesters in Watford include U.S. talk-radio host and Sept. 11 "truther" Alex Jones, and former professional soccer player David Icke, who believes the world is run by a race of reptiles in human form.

Demonstrators plan to hold a "Bilderberg fringe" festival outside the hotel until the conference ends Sunday.

A Bilderberg spokesman — reached by email since no phone number is listed — said there is nothing sinister about the gathering.

"We disclose the date, the location, the participants and the key topics of the conference," Xander Heijnen said. "Many groups of people meet without announcing it publicly at all, without disclosing who is taking part and without giving any key topics.

"The meetings broaden the participants' range of viewpoints, help them to gain insights and exchange views," he said. "It seems illogical to argue that a meeting of individuals designed to give and obtain fresh insights, somehow 'undermines democracy.'"

That message has not swayed protesters like Judd Charlton, a ventriloquist from London who showed up Thursday to jeer at cars with blacked-out windows entering the hotel compound.

"We are basically here to bring down the parasites who are drug dealers and bank collapsers who seem to want to destroy this world," he said.

The "reptilian shapeshifters" are having another meeting? Probably dividing us chattle between each other and discussing what to do with the "useless eaters." lol

Seriously, these are the ones that own our politicians. imo

[dontlop]

i read those meetings are mostly about economic cooperation in different economic sectors .. like petroleum .. electronics .. commoditys .  manufacturing .. agriculture .. sort of like coordinating their efforts to better serve the world community .. the anti capitolists or socialist movement doesnt like it so they spread rumors as facts .

Psalm 33:10-11

 

10The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations

and thwarts all their schemes.

11But the LORD’s plans stand firm forever;

his intentions can never be shaken.

 

Let them have there little parties, let them plan all they like.

 

In the end all there little schemes and plans will come to nothing.

There are conspiracy theories on both extremes about this group, which may point to none of them being correct.  I doubt that the bankers are discussing things like how to make even more obscure and incomprehensible financial products, as there are too many people from too diverse sectors.  I would hope, and see some indication based on reports of past meetings, that the topics are largely about how to counter trends in the world which are not good for anyone yet on which we don't seem to make much progress.  The secrecy and unofficial nature hopefully allows the participants to say what they really think, which is a good thing for their peers across the world to understand and is rather hard to get from the normal media channels and official statements. 

[dontlop]

Our friends eh? You're in for a BIG surprise.

you dont know what they do in those meetings so you spread  false witness against them . those people are humans  just like you .

 

you dont understand how the global economy works .. so those who do and set this up  have meetings you think they owe you something ..you want them to let the media explain  everything to you .

 

its a trade secret .. their unions forbids them to  give away trade secrets .. so you will never be intelligent enough to walk in through those doors and  have a seat .

 

so go ahead .. spread  crap on the street .. that makes a pretty picture for your  family  to live .. act like your on to them.. you got it all figured out .. and some day you will put an end to this organizing of the people and planet .. no more systemic procedures that ensures everyone gets their slice of the pie ....just go into the wilderness into the deep forest ., stop look around ..thats what this world used to be .. that and that only ..if thats what you want ..feel free .. go to the real world meet god ..tell him i sent ya , i wont be far behind  ya ,, but i always wanted a big pile of money to set on fire  on my way out .. go rv

[dontlop]

look .. if germany decides to open a ship building  plant .. and they are going to  need more steel than is avaliable .. they need mining operations increased ..if they are not increased .. they start up their business  and invest all their time and money .. but dont have the necessary steel to be successful .. so their efforts were a failure .when if they were at the meeting they could of coridnated  all these things  in advance ..

 

 its just a tiny example of  economic co-operation

 

on a much larger scale  in sectors .. govt management  business leaders have to be involved ..they must coordinate together ..

 

govts send representation to these bilderburg meetings ..

 

those anti capitolists sure  have a wild imagination ..its way beyond anything any of those bums protesting could ever understand and the questions would lead to more questions  which lead to more questions  ,, it never ends ..so they would have to stop doing what they do .. and stand around answering questions for the rest of their lives about something that doesnt exist .. because if they were standind around answering questions all day  they wouldnt be doing what they do .. so it would be nonexistant.

 

so they have found  its better to just ignore those bums .. keep doing their job .. just hire security to keep the bums "socialists"  back.. and just go about their business organizing ,, coordinating .. a massive global machine that is way over the bums head and couldnt understand in ten life times if  ever ..these things are not taught in high  school .

Stay tuned my long winded friend.

[dontlop]

Stay tuned my long winded friend.

been tuned for years and years and years and years ,, and years ,,  one side always says things with only theretic  backing .. the other side never says nothing .. this alone is a scare tactic  for you guys to live by .. its exciting ..

 

the socialists  only want socialism when  none of their own money is being used for re-distribution of the wealth ..

 

you go out get a job ..negotiate your wages .. get your pay .. its over .. what did some other guy have to do witrh it ,, nothing.

 

our biggest problem is govt .. and govt regulations..try going out into the forest and build a house  and raise your family .. how long before a govt agent  is their .. whether it be game warden   who turns you into police ,who turns you into  the next in line  thru the chain of command .. until you are  complying with govt rules and regulations

 

the american dream is over ..you cannot go claim land and farm it without govt intrusion and govt  getting a cut off your labors ... thats why they left europe .. now its right here in our govt ..

 

 

the bilderburgs are rich people who  we dont have rights to  do anything to as long as they are with in the law .. so ,, where do laws come from ..theres our problem..

 

those socialists want the rich peoples money devided up amongest the populations ..not their own money of course ..just someone elses ..

The Bilderberg Group, Bilderberg conference, or Bilderberg Club is an annual private conference of approximately 120 to 140 invited guests from North America and Europe, most of whom are people of influence.^[2][3] About one-third are from government and politics, and two-thirds from finance, industry, labour, education and communications.

im sure the socialists dictators  all have invested billions of dollars slandering those capitolists ..with multiple stories about how they are up to no good .. it looks like some have been reading those stories  used to destroy capitolism and install socialism .. it worked well in europe .. the usa is the big target .. it they can sway the people to vote in socialists .. they could control the world with the usa on board ...bunch of anarchists ans commies
