The secretive meeting includes many of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful individuals tabbed as the global elites.

Per Bilderberg Meetings:

Founded in 1954, the Bilderberg Meeting is an annual conference designed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America. Every year, between 120-140 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia and the media are invited to take part in the Meeting. About two thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from North America; approximately a quarter from politics and government and the rest from other fields.

The Bilderberg Meeting is a forum for informal discussions about major issues. 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 speaker(s) nor 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. As such, they can take time to listen, reflect and gather insights. There is no detailed agenda, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken, and no policy statements are issued.

The list of 2025 participants includes Palantir Technologies CEO Alex Karp and co-founder Peter Thiel.

In 2 days, the secretive Bilderberg Meeting begins, where the world’s richest and most powerful puppeteers meet — Klaus Schwab, Bill Clinton, Albert Bourla among them. The steering committee?

“Wowzers I just confronted Peter Thiel about Palantir and the surveillance tech that’s setting up a big brother nightmare. I also confronted him about his Jeffrey Epstein ties. It was just the two of us and his security, will post soon,” he added.

Per Reuters:

NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Christopher Donahue, Commander of the U.S. Army Europe and Africa are among those on this year’s delegate list, published by the organisers just ahead of the meeting.

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson will give a speech “on Sweden’s and the EU’s competitiveness and Sweden’s support for Ukraine,” his spokesperson told Reuters.

Transatlantic relations top the agenda, with Ukraine, critical raw materials and AI also on the list, the organisers who also publish the names of the participants, said.

Other than that, information is scarce. The organisers say the secrecy is to allow participants to be able to speak freely in an environment of trust.
