Official narrative
Wikipedia reports that there "is no formal process for selecting the Secretary General. Instead, the members of NATO traditionally reach a consensus on who should serve next. This procedure often takes place through informal diplomatic channels." The official narrative denies that the Bilderberg group is anything more than a social event, so the control of NATO by that group is unacknowledged. The appointment is for 4 years, although it may be extended.
Control by Bilderberg
Given the secrecy surrounding the Bilderberg conferences, their control over who becomes Secretary General is hard to prove, but a remarkable number of NATO Secretary Generals have attended Bilderberg meetings before being appointed to the job. The only Secretaries General not known or strongly suspected to be Bilderberg attendees are:
- Hastings Ismay, (1952-1957), 1st Secretary General - got the job before Bilderberg was set up. Named by some as a Bilderberg attendee.[1]
- Alessandro Minuto-Rizzo, (acting for 2 weeks only)
- Sergio Balanzino, (twice acting, for <4 months in total)
