Introduction
The Bilderberg Group would be categorised into a group that is most probably the oldest conspiracy theory of all , that one all powerfull, all knowing group is controlling the worlds financial, economic, industrial, pollitical and media corperations and groups, in turn controlling the world.This indeed and may very well be the oldest conspiracy theory of all time , that a dark cabal of powerful men and woman are controlling every step the world takes but , it is with the shadowy organisation called The Bilderberg Group that this indeed could be a reality.

Sinister cabal
Often the existence of such groups such as the one outlined here are somewhat dubious in the extreme such as for instance, The Illuminati, The Order Of The Skull And Bones and parhaps including Jewish bankers. In other incidents though, there may actually be some basis of rational thinking and foundation of reason for thinking that there is a so called “Sinister Cabal” controlling the world that is richer in power then the mayor, the government, and perhaps even more powerfull then the president or prime minister himself.
edit
A basis of rational
Out of all the groups that are most likely thought to be part of this conspiracy The Bilderberg Group, upon study does seem to be the closest thing to the genuine article if not the genuine article itself. There are many reasons for this as will be made clear to you in the following texts. To start off with, it is absolutely clear and inarguable that The Bilderberg Group do actually exist. The group itself was founded in the 1950’s and it is proven to have held an anual meeting at various secret locations around the globe ever since, still continuing to do so even today.
Another strange fact about this organisation is that it is undoubtedly a classified and secret one, a few reasons being that this group has no website and absolutely no corporate presence what so ever.The group itself also goes to great lengths to keep its annual meeting locations and meeting times strictly unknown , it is also known that the locations of the meetings are at different places each year.
edit
Known members
Lastly The Bilderberg Group itself does involve many of the worlds most powerfull people. Henry Kissinger and the well known Paul Wolfowitz are regular attendants as are members of the Ford and Agnelli families and even the Rockefellers are known to be involved with the group in some way .
edit
Other suprising members
All the more significant to the motives of this group is the fact that Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair and even Bill Clinton, all attended the meetings right before they came into power and turned into the leaders of their countries. To some conspiracy theorists this fact is way more then just a coincidence .
edit
Known facts
The group itself was founded in the year 1954 and it took its name from the hotel that the very first meeting took place in. The hotel is located in a part of the Netherlands and the groups first and founding member were a group of men whos names were
- Denis Healy
- Joseph Retinger
- Prince Bernhard
- An unkown X member of the Nazi party
- David Rockefeller
It is known that this group is still based in the Netherlands for administrative purposes and owns an office building in the town of Leiden, Phone calls to this office are allways met with an anonymous message from an answering machine. This groups purpouse as was told to the media was to further understand issues pertaining to and involving North America and Western Europe through the meeting of its members.
The present founding member of the group Lord Healey says that the organisations one and true goal is to promote democracy throughout the globe.It is known that every year a commitee of men and woman compose a list of the worlds most powerfull and promising individuals and from this list they are invited to attend a meeting , this list usually has over one hundred names on it and its invitees are normally or if not always from either North America or Western Europe. Each meeting place is at a fixed destination with the countries of the members taking it in rotation to host the groups meetings . The groups funding for these meetings and other things is made from corporations such as Nokia, Fiat and other friendly commercial groups. It is said the the invitation list is sometimes made public but the topics of the meetings themselves are not and the people whom are invited are sworn to secrecy not to reveal the secret meetings location to anyone .
It is all the secrecy of the group that has attracted the conspiracy theorists to it and also attained skeptical viewpoints on the group itself, the group says that the secrecy is simply for privacy for they believe that they should be able to speak freely and without fear of unwanted media coverage of there meetings .It is another fact that no one ever turns down an invite to one of their annual getogethers.

What some theorists believe
For some people this simply is the way of the earth we live in , there are plenty of clubs where only members can attend meetings and join in on club business but it is known that none of the clubs seem at first glance to be as high profile as this one . There are theorists who also believe that The Bilderberg Groups primary and stationary goal is to make the world a place where we all watch the same things on tv and eat the same meals , in short a place where the people follow one set of rules and one government. For many this thought of a worlwide government or a state of world policing has been heard before however this group raises more questions about its goals than those that are precidentaly thought about in the same light.
Globalisation is said to be the main goal of this secretive group and it is definately no private matter or secret that in the year of 2005 Mrs Bill Gates and her husband were invited to one of their annual meetings and when one thinks about it these two people and the theorised goal of the group are very closely linked , again this could be just coincidental but then again it could not.
