Some great comments on the Guardian website this year. It's becoming easier and easier to sort the humans from the trolls.

Then in swept Washington's hawkish 'Prince of Darkness', Richard Perle (Hudson Institute; PNAC; Hollinger; former Gaddafi adviser – etc. etc. etc.)
Hang on a min. Our very own Peter Mandelsohn is THE "Prince of Darkness" surely? Maybe there will have to be pistols at dawn to sort out the copyrights on this title...

Osbourne and Mandy are here again this year, and you thought your goverment makes all the critical policy decisions?
There is no left or right, red or blue, this is where the orders are given.
If you suck up real nice you get to be like blair, if you go against the grain you become a straus-kahn.
These people aren't invited, they've been summoned.
Then they're sent away and we get shafted, or if you're really unlucky, bombed...

@Pretentious, It's also interesting to note that even when the Guardian tries to take the issue seriously, it's still all a big joke. I'd love to see all conferences covered in this jovial manner, but making Bilderberg the exception rather than the rule makes the whole thing seem rather silly and not worth bothering with.
I wonder why the Guardian would be trying to make us think that?

Not that anyone at Bilderberg is dirty. I mean, hardly any of them are wanted for war crimes. People don't stress that enough.
I did so enjoy that last line. Well said.
Osborne and Mandelson, there to kiss backside I imagine and nod their little bobbleheads fast and furiously, it IS the democratic way after all.
Hang in there Charlie, more Pringles to you.

"It's quite interesting to read article after article on this where the authors of such simply scramble to find anything interesting to talk about, and instead manage to throw together articles which don't really have much point to them."
But the article actually contains some important points hidden among the jokes.
Of course it's one big "joke" that these meetings take place, involve rich powerful people getting together and us plebs are told there's "nothing to see here".

The fact that billionaires who are famously normally never leave the house, turn up for this says that this meeting must be in actual fact very important.

Thanks for the update Charlie....it seems you’re doing your witty best to report on Bilderberg while negotiating around the bridle that’s been placed in your mouth.
We can only hope that now the official list of attendees has been released, the Guardian, as well as the other MSM newspapers and organisations, will be sending out their heavy-weight political journalists to keep you company. Surely with a list like that, the BBC, the FT, Telegraph and Times will all be adequately represented and we can have a proper journalistic ‘dog and pony show’ going down at St. Moritz.

David Rockefeller has made no secret of his plans to orchestrate world government (the New World Order if you will) with all the power in the hands of the Banksters. He believes this pernicious cabal are best able to look after the interests of the rest of us. I don't accept his premise (who in their right mind could after what we've seen in the last few years) and will therefore fight against his fiendish plan. This is the reason I object to the Bilderberg Group. The attendees are nothing less than complicit in a plan to screw the vast majority of the people on this planet...

i don't understand to jovial tone of this coverage, is this all an amusing joke or something? obviously not WTF the biggest power-players in the world and this coverage is joke.
also notice how an article/subject of huge importance (in context) is making light of the whole thing by going on to joke about a 'bilderbus' like it's all a jolly jape at the end of the day or something.
again - the point is these people feel the need to hide, conduct private meetings and plans, and i don't really think anyone could agree that our governments are doing a bang-up job, let alone slap the finance and banking systems on the back for being such sterling chaps.
this joke can not continue. but considering all the media including the guardian comes under their umbrella of utility i don't hold out much hope for true investigative rigour in the near future.
and as for the 'tin foil hat' comments and all that other predictable programming, it just doesn't work. even for a monkey with half a brain, a bit of time on their hands and a discerning mind it really is becoming increasingly easier to see the bigger picture.
the point is as said, in this day and age this kind of secrecy amongst such society-moulding entities will. not. do. it is not permissible.
also to be unquestionably permissive of such activity really does indicate a lack of genuine, basic mental faculty on behalf of the lazy complacent scoffing cif brigade, who have simply had one too many bottles of moderately priced red wine and spent far too much time watching 'Britains Got Talented Dancers on Ice Buying Houses'.
this is all so obvious and increasingly transparent even my cat is starting to catch on without being manipulated by 4th-rate passive-aggressive press tactics and propaganda.

(tin foil hat alert) They are probably so hot on bugs and cameras inside that you'd be hard pushed to find any proof of the wrong doing that results from any of these meetings. And anyway, that's why they meet to make sure the rules and laws are changed so that even if the proof is there the law has changed and it is no longer against the law.

Ignoring the press for the moment, in many ways you can blame:
1.) The Left-wing protest movement for not ever bothering to storm the barricades at this event like they do G8 and others.
2.) The Right-wing nuts who have concocted ridiculous conspiracy theories about the event, which have in turn resulted in the Left poo-pooing any protest of it.
Bit of a rock and a hard place really.

Two points.
1. I'd be worried if there wasn't such a meeting where world leaders and business people could talk about world affairs off the record.
2. As they've been meeting since the 1950s, if they really were trying to bring about a NWO, world government or whatever, they're not exactly doing it very quickly.

I think the tone in this article is quite fitting. How should one report on a meeting which one cannot attend, or even get close to? A little bit of flippancy by the reporters, as they struggle to find out anything about what is actually going on only stresses the point, rather than belittles it.

They are attacked from both the left -as a capitalist club. And from the right - as a body seeking one world government and a planned economy. This fact alone, suggests we shouldn't be too worried about some future power grab.
I'd imagine the major gain is going to be personal with these things , the 'off the record', networking potential here is obviously enormous. If personal enrichment through "information" is your aim, then attending this place must be like having your own bug in Gordon Gekko's office. Once your name is on that list , unless you're a complete idiot you've pretty much made it, I'd guess.

Unfortunately, while I too would like to see 'real policy change' with regard to liberalising drugs policy, I do not think it 'reasonable to assume' that there will be a lot of discussion about it.
Afterall, prohibition has long been used to keep prices high, and now that the U.S. has control of the lucrative opium (for legal and illegal opiates) producing poppy fields in Afghanistan - and they've really increased production and yeilds, since the war on terror began - there is just too much money to be made to actually think about decriminalising it's use.
And before you poo-poo the idea of our Governments being involved in the drugs trade, I suggest you read up on the Chinese Boxer Revolution and the Iran/Contra Affair.

At least you are all talking about it now, and you want more information. Maybe you'll go and look for it as a result of not being able to find much here.

No mainstream media will ever give us a serious article on secret Bilderberg meetings, just think that the sheer fact that they are not allowed in to the meetings or even given the agenda should make true journalists scrutinise and expose these meetings for what they are.

Bilderberg has NEVER been acknowledged by the MSM, it has always been attributed to conspiracy theorists.
So imagine how scared they are that they have to acknowledge the fact it exists , though trying to ridicule it anyway and play it down
It has gone out of their hands because of internet and the alternative media.
People are waking up big time, specially after all the blatant lies coming out from the corporate mainstream media i.e Bin Laden buried at sea and all the lies coming from Libya and now Syria, not to mention the false 'revolutions' in Egypt and Tunicia
We've been lied to for decades and there is proof ,it's not just conjecture
The US has covertly overthrown 70 governments since WWII, there have been proven 'false flag' events-the battle of Tonkin,the sinking of the US Maine(1898) and US Liberty (1967) etc,etc
So we have to believe blindly what they tell us?? Conspiracies don't exist??? They are just coincidences???
You just have to 'follow the money' and you find the culprits. Who benefited from 9/11?? If it's not a conspiracy why no independant investigation?? Cause the people behind it are the elite that pull the strings??
Bilderberg and the people in it are a disgrace to mankind and sooner or later will be punished!!
Scum of the earth!!

2. As they've been meeting since the 1950s, if they really were trying to bring about a NWO, world government or whatever, they're not exactly doing it very quickly.

Funny that ten years ago if you mentioned Bilderburg you were labelled a conspiracy nut. You couldn't find a mention of it anywhere in the mainstream media, despite it's existence for over fifty years and a roll call of attendees that read like a who's who of politics, industry and finance.
Now it's existence can't be denied any more, the next tactic is to cover it like it's some kind of joke.
Tell me, why is it a joke that the annual meeting of the most powerful people in the world is held in complete and utter secrecy? Are not most of these people supposedly democratically elected? What do you think they are discussing - puppy dogs and ice cream?
When the Lib Dems have a conference it's all over the news for a week - despite the fact that it probably has a lot less influence on our daily lives than Bilderburg.

I love it when the intelligent fools doubt that these people run the world. They often attempt to rebuke the notion by claiming the rest of us are just dreaming up conspiracy theories. There is nothing secret about these people really. Yes they may meet up and discuss matters in private but everyone does that.
The obvious and most simple question to ask is this - If these overwhelming rich and powerful people do not run the world - then who does ?
Of course they run the world and soon they will have complete control of the entire planet, that is beyond doubt. I'd guess by year end of 2013 they will probably complete the mission.
For those that still have any doubts and do not believe us so called 'theorists' - maybe you will believe the Ruling Elite -
Rothschild - "Allow me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who writes the laws.”
John D Rockefeller - “Good leadership consists of showing average people how to do the work of superior people.”
"I would rather earn 1% off a 100 people's efforts than 100% of my own efforts"
“The way to make money is to buy when blood is running in the streets.”
“I have ways of making money that you know nothing of.”
“Do you know the only thing that gives me pleasure? It's to see my dividends coming in.”
“Competition is a sin.”
David Rockefeller -
"This present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be built, will not be open for too long - We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order." Sept. 23, 1994
President Franklin Roosevelt -
“The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the government since the days of Andrew Jackson.” Nov. 21, 1933
Martin Taylor - Secretary General, Bilderberg -
"We forbid individual attendees from giving press meetings at our conferences, and we do that not because we're secrecy mad, but because we want to control the politicians who come."

That's just not relevant, Governments around the World are doing everything they can to ensure that each and every Nation gets into massive debt. That enables the constant flow of Public Funds into Private Bank Accounts. That's exactly what they want. It is not a mistake, it is just the way they want it.
Since so many Nations are borrowing from Private Banks the World simply becomes owned by the Private Banksters and thus by default, the entire system collapses and we all become their slaves.

I do not believe there is any 'obsession' going on . . . when it comes down to the Powerful, Rich and Royal Ruling Elite - Rothschild and Rockerfeller are rather important, historically and still today.
As for posting the original text and context and source, with all due respect, you must be joking, I am merely posting a few comments here and trying to be as brief and to the point as possible. All these quotes are in the public domain, widely known and there are hundreds of websites and books about this issue already, please do not expect me to repeat it all . . . this is the Guardians Website not mine x
However, if you want a good place to start, try something like this

Rothschild - "Allow me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who writes the laws.”
Yeah didn't he make this statement in like the 19thC. I can think of a hell of a lot worst coming out of the Establishments mouth back then. This was the age when Empires reached their zenith and Europeans were off conquering half of Africa.
I've never understood the obsession people have with the Rothschild family.
I think a lot of the propaganda for the Rothschilds comes from anti-semite sources.
Didn't they makes movies about the Rothschilds in NAZI Germany?

NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen is at the 2011 Bilderberg summit in St. Moritz Switzerland to discuss expanding the war on Libya and turning the conflict into a “bloody” affair despite the fact that the United States’ involvement in the bombardment has already cost nearly a billion dollars.
Even as President Obama commits US forces to a 4th front in Yemen, the bombardment of Libya is costing American taxpayers $2 million dollars a day. According to a leaked Department of Defense memo, “The cost of the U.S. campaign in Libya is set to exceed the $750 million Pentagon estimate set out in March”
Bilderberg are petrified at the increasing resistance to the attack on Libya from within the US Congress. Sources inside Bilderberg say they are planning to prolong the recession through 2012 and drive up oil prices even further as a means of forcing Americans to accept bloody warfare in the Middle East and North Africa.
As was later reported by Swiss newspapers, it emerged yesterday that the official start of the Bilderberg conference had to be delayed by a day because members were not able to fly their helicopters and private jets through heavy rain storms and the low lying cloud cover that has blanketed St. Moritz over the last few days. Less than half of the attendees had arrived at the Suvretta Hotel by early evening on Thursday. Several individuals within the Swiss federal government were enraged at Bilderberg’s “invasion of their sovereignty”.
Swiss media coverage of the conference has been plentiful, much to the chagrin of Bilderberg.
A similar theme from last year’s meeting in Spain has also emerged once again, with Bilderberg members furious at the increasing amount of protesters and media coverage that they are receiving.
“They’ve now asked Rupert Murdoch, biggest owner of newspapers throughout the world, to try to talk the major newspapers in Europe out of covering Bilderberg,” but the effort had largely been a failure due to the large amount of coverage being afforded to the confab by the Swiss media.
Members have expressed “great anger that the commoners are forcing this coverage and forcing these headlines"
A massive protest against Bilderberg is set to take place on Saturday at noon outside the Suvretta Hotel involving both Socialist and conservative Swiss People’s Party activists.

@KettsOak
I think the quote was in fact made by Daniel Gushing in 1914 and refers to Rothschild within the quotation.
“‘Let us control the money of a country and we care not who makes its laws.’ This is the maxim of the house of Rothschilds, and is the foundation principle of European banks. If a country and its people are mortgaged for the assessed value of their property, and the bankers control the money, the bondholders and not the people own that country. It makes no difference whether you call it a republic or a monarchy.”
– Financial writer Daniel T. Gushing, testifying before the House and Senate Subcommittees on Banking and Currency, 1914

Two-way mirrors, roughed-up amateur paps, sunglass wearing goons, people with names that have modern-day pyramids named after them, a bomb in a box of Pringles: now that's what I call entrertainment!

Every year since 1950 the bilderbergers have met under a media blackout.Sixty years of the Mainstream media claiming that only conspiracy nuts believe the meetings where being held.
Not true my friend...there have been regular reports in the mainstream media (eg The Times) on the group's existence, where they were holding their meetings and who was going pretty much ever since it started.
eg Wall Street Journal 1976

@ danpan - it was Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812), founder of the House of Rothschild.
For those who doubt the Historic and Present Importance of the Family, this is a very good, accurate and unbiased brief history of the Private Banking System that now controls most of the Planet and very soon all of it unless the Taliban can stop them that is.

Apparently Swiss parliamentarians are going to attempt to force their way in to the Bilderberg group meeting this evening. This includes Dominique Baettig, the MP who called for the arrest of Henry Kissinger (who's probably hiding in his room) on an EU arrest warrant. It'll be interesting to see if the Swiss police are willing to prevent them at the point of a gun. I think they may have miscalculated by having their little get together in one of the worlds last remaining 'real' democracies.

Last night an Italian member of European Parliament Mario Borghezio suffered a beating at the hands of the Bilderberg security thugs in Switzerland. Borghezio was about to attend the Bildeberg club, but when he showed his credentials to the Suretta Hotel staff, he was not allowed in and shoved around by the Club’s security people. ” They shoved us around,” Borghezio, who was in the company of his assistant, said the MP suffered a bloody nose and was very shaken up.

They are probably doing what they do every year, just chewing the fat and choosing from an a la carte menu before a sauna. Or maybe they're debating policy and programmes which will effect you and your family for generations to come.
Amongst many others, the Vice President of the European Commission, the President of the European Council, the Director General of the World Trade Organization, the President of the European Central Bank, the President of The World Bank, and the Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Programme, US Deputy Secretary of State, the Commander of USCYBERCOM and the Director of the National Security Agency and representatives from most major US think tanks such as the Hudson Institute, the Brookings Institution, the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, the Institute for Demographic Research.
Turn on the TV and there is 24 hour news coverage of the ongoing economic crisis. Imagine if senior representatives from every major bank in the world were meeting in the same place along with the heads of finance from several major countries in the Western world. Oh wait, they are, at Bilderberg.
Bilderberg has senior figures from the National Bank of Belgium, the Nordea Bank of Denmark, the Deutsche Bank of Germany, the Investor AB bank of Sweden, the Oesterreichische Kontrollbank AG of Austria, and the Investimentos bank of Portugal.
They have the Chairman of Barclays bank, the Chairman of HSBC, the Chairman of Goldman Sachs, the CEO of TD Bank Financial Group, the Vice Chairman of Citigroup and the former Chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank. They have the former German Minister of Finance, the current British Chancellor of the Exchequer, the current Greek Minister of Finance (not a great gig at the moment), the current Italian Minister of Economy and Finance, the Governor of the Bank of Canada, the former US Secretary of the Treasury and the former Governor of the Federal Reserve Board.
Throw in a smattering of royalty from the Netherlands, Spain and Norway, and a few high ranking politicians and heads of state from Belgium, Austria, China, Great Britain, Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey and you’re still only really scratching the surface of the who’s who of Bilderberg attendees.
It is clearly asinine to suggest that this group of people hold no power and do not have any sway on the international stage.
Their influence is irrefutable. Anyone who makes this argument and then tells you you are delusional is beyond stupid. Where are you mainstream media?

please. the rockefellers have always been junior partners to "the other 'r' family", who have a 200+ year history of hiding their detested loot, plunder, rape, pillage, & ruin policies (specifically, "pump AND DUMP" finance) behind more congenial, local faces.
here's a clue: rockefeller's fav appartchik also attending - the guy they (the Rockefellers + R's) shoved on Nixon as his "national security" advisor, who later became Nixon's Sec. State (henry kissinger)... or richard perle.
wolfowitz, "the architect" of bush & cheney's illegal, no valid excuse invasion of Iraq in 2003, WOULD have been there, too, except he lost his cozy gig as World Bank president. poor wolfo was too much for even the "saturated with elitist, royalist, & autocratic corruption" Europeans to swallow..

I see that the comments are of a much higher caliber than in past years. People are waking up, mostly due to the economic difficulties, and that is why these
powermongers are about to shut off the real sources of real news on the internet.
In the US it is Senate bill 986. Another healthy sign is that the three trolling types here don't have many 'recommends'. Try harder or get some more trolls! You don't want to disappoint your masters!

For example, I think it's reasonable to assume that there will be a lot of discussion about liberalising drugs policy in the conference - no politician save the bravest would dare raise it in public, but in private they can be frank and honest with each other. That might hopefully turn into real policy change.
What you're actually saying there is 'democracy is the problem'. You're looking at things the wrong way round. You should be asking "Why is frank discussion about drugs policy something difficult to do in public?" The answer, to my mind, is public ignorance and bigotry and media distortion about matters, things which politicians, most of the time, are quite happy to promote for their own self serving ends. The solution to these problems is more open democracy and public discussion about issues, not less.

The British have been crowned with the jewels of the English language and rightfully so, how delightful to read such sarcasm about the mass murderers all dressed and riding around in fancy limos, no small cars to be smashed like what happened to Diana and Dodi. SHUT UP for pity's sake, let not the tongue wag itself about the monster tiara wearing cannibals, hiding, not riding in limos to be further seen, only the agents show. No go without the blow, though, thank GOD for Afghanistan, GB, and the buddies of George W. Bush, Tony the pony ride? Just reflecting on how this time came to pass, again, now with the crowns of the American jewels riding in limos, David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger of Doom, Death, Destruction. Just another pony ride for the betting in the future Bilder whatever can be in there, Tom Waits sang about this crowd of Chocolate Jesus eating rulers already whom are bergers or do we call it like it is? The Bilder Buggers Global?

137 year old senile gangsters seeking new blood from youths of 75. They might think they see everything, but their horizons are limited to their company in the country club, and on the private jet. They don't dare make contact with a member of the public lest they collapse into a pile of 2000yr old dust. In their senility they're detonating the system they suck blood from, while imagining living forever. This is Swift's cloud-cuckoo land.
Even if David Rockefeller thinks he's a young whippersnapper, Rupert Murdoch, for example, is seemingly gaga, with the show around the world run by 2nd rate lieutenants. Can anyone imagine Murdoch handling the phone hacking scandal so ineptly 20 or 30 years ago?
It's up to the people to push these teetering relics into the garbage bin of history, lest our whole society follow them
