cam what's on your radar well the bilderberg meetings held this past weekend at the mandarin oriental in washington d.c convened again for the first time after a two-year pandemic hiatus about 120 of the west's most powerful people including heads of nato cia and nsa prime ministers of nations big tech executives and vaccine makers gathered together to discuss the world's problems mostly focusing on war and foreign policy you've probably never heard of these meetings most people haven't and that's no surprise the meetings are conducted in secret without any press in fact the organizers are proud of
the secrecy on their website they state the meetings are held under the chatham house rule which states that participants are free to use the information received but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speakers nor of any other participant may be revealed thanks to the private nature of the meeting the participants take part as individuals rather than in any official capacity and hence are not bound by the conventions of their office or by pre-agreed positions oh sure so democratically elected policymakers and other government chiefs who work on the taxpayers dime go and sip cocktails
behind closed doors in a luxurious hotel discussing important matters such as war global alliances pandemic responses and disinformation with the corporate billionaire class all weekend in secret without the press but don't worry they're doing it as private citizens so it's okay because what they discuss probably won't affect us right they actually completely blocked off the mandarin oriental for these meetings here's independent journalist josh friedman reporting from the location now the bilderberg meetings actually have their own website where they do give us some insight into what it is they talk about and who attends this year's
meeting covered 14 topics geopolitical realignments nato challenges china indo-pacific realignment shino-us tech competition russia continuity of government and the economy disruption of the global financial system disinformation energy security and sustainability post-pandemic health fragmentation of democratic societies trade and de-globalization and finally ukraine in fact the guardian reported that zielinski himself was rumored to be making an appearance appearance via skype curious if he was also attending as a private citizen people on the published list of participants including wealthy investors and bankers like peter thiel from thiel capital and executives from deutsche bank and goldman sachs the ceo
of pfizer was there presumably to talk about post-pandemic health the list includes many from the artificial intelligence space such as executives from facebook and deep mind as well as the former head of google oil and gas executives from shell and nafta gas ukraine's largest oil and gas company many experts on russia and ukraine were in attendance as well as politicians policy makers and global leaders such as senator kirsten sinema nsa director jake sullivan cia director william burns the king of the netherlands canada's deputy prime minister christiaa freeland finland's prime minister santa marin dutch prime minister
mark root the head of french intelligence and even henry kissinger this year's meeting was led by the secretary general of nato jen stoltenberg but again they insist there is nothing of public importance going on at this meeting it's just private citizens getting together in a blockaded hotel chit-chatting about global matters like war and pandemics nothing of consequence that we should be concerned about so there's no need for any reporting or transcripts the few reporters who attempted to gain access reporters such as max blumenthal josh friedman frank analysis lukradowski were denied and actually the location of
the meetings themselves were never announced and remained secret it was reporter josh friedman who was able to figure out where the meetings were even happening as much as the organizers want to claim all of these powerful people who have the ability to march us into wars shut down entire nations during a pandemic and spend endless amount of taxpayer money on things like weapons of mass destruction are just operating as private citizens we all know better these people are not getting together to mingle even though nothing official comes from these meetings no votes no resolutions or
policy statements there absolutely are ideas being exchanged and decisions being made the question is aren't we the people entitled to a reading of the minutes so what do you think olami and robbie do you think we should be knowing what is going on behind these closed doors who's in attendance what they talk about shouldn't there be transcripts reporters in these meetings with these very powerful people or is it fine that they're just private citizens getting together chit-chatting about war no it's not fine at all i think we absolutely are entitled like that many that many
politicians different countries there's no way it's not it's not chit chat it can't be something listen i don't believe in secrecy anywhere but attorney-client privilege when it comes to our lawmakers and the people who are responsible for us and make these decisions over our lives especially at a time like this we should know everything they're discussing who they're discussing it with and why right how about more privacy for genuine private citizens we need privacy from these people these are the spymasters absolutely these are the people these are the people watching us at all times um
you know how many right we're talking about nato people we're talking about uh former cia fbi law enforcement type people you know it's not just those aren't private citizens anyway or maybe they are now they they they weren't before they have very public facing roles and they are coming up with policies that they want everyone to be forced to adopt so it's not you know it's not it's not gonna be they don't want it to be voluntary they don't i'm sure a lot of these people wanted vaccine mandates they want you know funding of uh
they want weapons sent various places they want interventions they want all kinds of things so well fine but let's discuss it let's know what's being what's being proposed let's not have it behind closed doors if that is the case which i it is yeah and this this this meeting has been going on since i i think 1957 was the first meeting in its annual it just skipped a couple of years because of the pandemic maybe they still met via zoom or something but you know they've been doing this for the longest time and the fact
that it isn't being reported on because reporters can't get to it and the fact that that's not even being reported reported on by the mainstream media i mean you have prime minister showing up to this thing and like you mentioned spy masters you have the head of the cia the head of french intelligence which is their which is their uh their cia or their mi6 so that it's crazy that all of these people are getting together then you have not only just policy makers but they're mixed in with the billionaire corporate class so you have
the heads of corporations that are absolutely no doubt there trying to encourage these world leaders into policies that are going to line their pocket books of course so you've got the ceo of pfizer there saying hey we need to buy more eating you guys need to buy more vaccines you know it's for it's an it's a national security you of course have uh guys from the spy there's a lot of artificial intelligence that should be very kind of frightening for people a lot of artificial intelligence people there that were that are looking for ways to
spy on us to prevent disinformation right and you've got others so all of these industries weapons people artificial intelligence uh vaccine all of these different groups they're what are those ceos there for what are those board members or chairmen of the boards what are they there for they're there to get money that's what they're there for to influence policy so we've been putting up with this for a really long time there's not a lot a lot of light shed on this anybody who then talks about it is called a conspiracy theorist but it's like look
these guys are not helping with the they say oh it's just a conspiracy theory but if you're going to hold a meeting behind closed doors you're going to blockade it off you're not going to let anybody report on it what else what do you think that is i mean that sounds the way the way i see it is in our current world like nothing is secret right there is no privacy you know what's happening almost everywhere so the ability for this many important people to be in a place and we not hear about it because
i didn't know about it i this sounds like an episode of billions and that in and of itself tells me it's untoward so the fact that we did the fact that they are even able to successfully go to whatever lengths and you know there must be links to keep this completely private from us there's a reason there's definitely things being discussed you don't want us to know about here about it even get an indication that it might be happening so that tells me everything i need to know that we should be privy to it because
at the end of the day we elect uh we elect government officials we have these people in power because they're supposed to serve us right we put them in the place we want to know what they're doing we want to have approval in it we want to have a say in it so instead of giving us access to it we have no knowledge of it reporters can't go there but you have billionaires there and the billionaires are getting to discuss what you're going to do and what you might do that is definitely a problem well
and then this whole notion that they could separate and suddenly be private citizens and you've got all these okay that's one thing if it's like a birthday party that they're going to for their niece or nephew but it's another thing if it's a bunch of powerful people in these positions of decision making and then they're just saying oh but don't worry about it they're i'm acting right now yeah this is just a private these are just private people for nobody you know insane totally insane but you know i wish i could tell you more about
what happened at these meetings i don't know we don't know i'm sure we'll know maybe a little less privacy for the people trying to intricately control and plan our lives a little more privacy for everybody else yes how's that sound thank you kim we'll have more rising right after this
