Say what you like about Bilderberg, but they've got a sense of humour. The agenda for this year's secretive summit of the global elite [gets] big laughs straight off the bat by describing themselves as "a diverse group of political leaders and experts". They're trumpeting the diversity of a conference where less than 25% of the participants are female. And as for racial diversity, there are more senior executives of Goldman Sachs at this year's Bilderberg than there are people of colour. Perhaps by "diverse" they mean that some of the participants own hedge funds, whereas others own vast industrial conglomerates. Some are on the board of HSBC, others are on the board of BP. That sort of thing. But my favourite joke by far from this year's agenda is this item: "The war on information". Bilderberg is concerned about fake news? The world's most secretive conference, which is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars keeping the press away from its sacred discussions, which has spent decades lying and obfuscating about itself, wants to ensure the spread of truth? Many times before I've been detained by armed police for trying to report on this conference. If Bilderberg wants an answer to "Why is populism growing?" - another question on the agenda - they might take a look in the mirror. People aren't all that comfortable with unaccountable technocratic elites and billionaire globalists lobbying their ministers and party leaders behind closed doors.
