A rare piece on the group byThe Daily Mirror, 13 February 1980, before the 1980 Bilderberg
Particularly since the popularity of the WWW, the Bilderberg group has become more widely known, though commercially-controlled media generally continues to misdirect about the group.

The Bilderberg has been exposed to the extent that nowadays it is much less attractive as a deep state milieu. This website has a page for all 3083 currently known Bilderbergers for whom documentary evidence of their attendance is known.

Concluding his article in The Guardian in 2017, Charlie Skelton remarked that “When Donald Trump refuses to take questions on a given subject, it’s an outrage. And rightly. Bilderberg gave its last press conference in the mid-1970s. They’ve been fighting the war on information for far too long. It’s time for them to lay down their arms, enter the 21st century, and start talking.” [1]

History

For most of its life, the Bilderberg was shrouded in a high level of secrecy (although not as much as another deep state milieu, Le Cercle). When asked in March 1998 in the UK Parliament, UK Prime Minister Tony Blair denied that he or any members of his government had ever attended a Bilderberg meeting.[2] With the rise of internet use, this secrecy has proved untenable. In a candid moment, Blair later admitted attending the conference, terming it a "really useful group".[3]

Timeline

From the 1955 Report of Der Spiegel into the 1955 September Bilderberg

Bilderberg guest lists are replete with editors and journalists of the Western commercially-controlled media, which has began a pretty effective news blackout about the group. Although as this page shows, individual items were published about the group, these represent a very tiny fraction of the corporate media output. Until the internet democratised publication, very little has been brought to the attention of the general public about the group. Only in the 21st century is the importance of the group in shaping the history of the 20th century becoming widely appreciated.

1950s

In October 1955, Der Spiegel carried a major report on the "secret conference" of the "Bilderberg circle", even terming it a "conspiracy" (in quotes). It reported on attendees and the discussions. This appears to have been the trigger for a serious commercially-controlled media blackout, since the next time it was known to be mentioned by the corporate media was a short mention in a Washington Post article of 1963.[4] Occasionally, conferences were reported, such as in 1977[5] but a media blackout continued and until about 2005.

1960s

In 1963, James P. Lucier wrote a short piece entitled The Bilderbergers, which caused some concern in the group. Curtis J. Hoxter was tasked with determining how the article got published.[6]

1970s

The Argus-Press published an article on the group on June 21, 1974.

In 1977, Yves Mourousi mentioned the Bilderberg group for the series Actualités of the French TV channel TF1, a report by the journalist Dominique Bromberger.

1980s

On 13 February 1980, the UK newspaper the Daily Mirror published a piece by Robert Eringer entitled Secret Meeting to Shape the World.

1990s

According to the American Free Press, it was a result of The Spotlight's discovery that the 1994 Bilderberg would be in Helsinki, and their subsequent appeal to European readers for publicity to the commercially-controlled media that the 1994 Bilderberg had "extensive press and broadcast coverage that stunned Bilderberg luminaries" and that "Bilderberg has suffered extensive coverage in Europe since."[7]

The location of the 1997 Bilderberg was leaked in April in The Portman Papers.[8]

In 1999, dissident ex-BBC journalist Tony Gosling registered the domain name Bilderberg.org, which he went on to use to expose the group. On 15 November 1999, the Big Issue published an article by Gibby Zobel on the Bilderberg.[9]

2000s

In the early days of the WWW, activists (most notably Tony Gosling of Bilderberg.org) uncovered the group.

In November 2009, the domain BilderbergMeetings.org was registered, at which a website was created that posts the group's meeting schedule and agendas. It has not posted any meeting reports, and their agendas have at least one difference with the agendas as published in those reports.

2010s

Charlie Skelton reported on the group for The Guardian, after which time other members of the UK commercially-controlled media also reported on it.

Internet

The internet proved an effective tool after campaigning journalists such as Jim Tucker and Tony Gosling (who registered Bilderberg.org)[10]) worked hard to publicise it. Guardian reporter Charlie Skelton started regularly reporting on the group in 2009 with an article entitled "Our man at Bilderberg: in pursuit of the world's most powerful cabal" in which he wrote that "a handful of people are saying, this weekend is Bilderberg".[11] By 2010, a lot of the secrecy surrounding the group had been eroded and other commercially-controlled media sources were reporting from the meetings. In 2011, BBC acknowledged a changing of the official narrative about the group, artfully entitling an article Bilderberg mystery: Why do people believe in cabals? - reframing the "mystery" associated with the group to speculation about the mental health of people who question its toxic nature.[12]

Beginning around 2014, a user named bilderbergboys began posting Bilderberg reports on Scribd. Markings on the documents indicate that they are from a range of sources, predominantly from library collections and archives.[13] These formed the basis of the material here about the Bilderberg meetings.

Public Intelligence

In 2016, the Public Intelligence website collated a large number of conference reports and miscellaneous associated documentation.[14][15]

Wikispooks

In 2017, Wikispooks collected the available primary sources about the Bilderberg group, and published them at https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Bilderberg. Each of the 6 meetings was given its own page, as well each of the 3083 known guests.

2018

Full article: Bilderberg/2018

The venue of the 2018 Bilderberg conference was established in January 2018, after a press release by the Serbian government.[16] The 2018 meeting was the first meeting known to have been infiltrated by an undercover journalist.

2019

Full article: Bilderberg/2019

The location of the 2019 Bilderberg conference was unknown until just before the event itself, and guest were extremely tight lipped with Bilderberg watchers.

Activists

Bilderberg watchers, once few in numbers, have now become a standard feature of the conference

Particularly after the reporting of Charlie Skelton, the number of activists who travel to Bilderberg meetings has increased rapidly, to the point where Tony Gosling reports that the parallel 'alternative Bilderbergs' held outside the official meeting have become very valuable networking opportunities. US journalist Jim Tucker of the American Free Press was a particularly devoted watcher of the Bilderberg group. Tony Gosling has run Bilderberg.org, a central portal of information about the group.

Daniel Estulin developed sources within the group over many years, which helped to end some of the secrecy and uncover the misdirection by group members.
