Discreetly, as under the radar as a looming virus, the 68th Bilderberg meeting is currently underway in Washington, D.C. Nothing to see here. No conspiracy theories about a “secret cabal”, please. This is just a docile, “diverse group of political leaders and experts” having a chat, a laugh, and a bubbly.
Still, one cannot but notice that the choice of venue speaks more volumes than the entire – burned to the ground – Library of Alexandria. In the year heralding the explosion of a much-awaited NATO vs. Russia proxy war, discussing its myriad ramifications does suit the capital of the Empire of Lies, much more than Davos a few weeks ago, where one Henry Kissinger sent them into a frenzy by advancing the necessity of a toxic compromise named “diplomacy”.
The list of Bilderberg 2022 participants is a joy to peruse. Here are just some of the stalwarts:
- James Baker, Consigliere extraordinaire, now a mere Director of the Office of Net Assessment at the Pentagon.
- José Manuel Barroso, former head of the European Commission, later the recipient of a golden parachute in the form of Chairman of Goldman Sachs International.
- Albert Bourla, the Pfizer Big Guy.
- William Burns, CIA director.
- Kurt Campbell, the guy who invented the Obama/Hillary “pivot to Asia”, now White House Coordinator for Indo-Pacific.
- Mark Carney, former Bank of England, one of the designers of the Great Reset, now Vice Chair of Brookfield Asset Management.
- Henry Kissinger, The Establishment’s Voice (or a war criminal: take your pick).
- Charles Michel, President of the European Council.
- Minton Beddoes, Editor-in-Chief of The Economist, which will duly relay all major Bilderberg directives in the magazine’s upcoming cover stories.
- David Petraeus, certified loser of endless surges and Chairman of KKR Global Institute.
- Mark Rutte, hawkish Prime Minister of the Netherlands.
- Jens Stoltenberg, NATO top parrot, sorry, secretary-general.
- Jake Sullivan, Director of the National Security Council.
The ideological and geopolitical affiliations of these members of the “diverse group” need no further elaboration. It gets positively sexier when we see what they will be discussing.
Among other issues we find “NATO challenges”; “Indo-Pacific realignment”; “continuity of government and economy” (Conspirationists: continuity in case of nuclear war?); “disruption of global financial system” (already on); “post-pandemic health” (Conspirationists: how to engineer the next pandemic?); “trade and deglobalization”; and of course, the choice wagyu beef steaks: Russia and China.
As Bilderberg follows Chatham House Rules, mere mortals won’t have a clue of what they actually “proposed” or approved, and none of the participants will be allowed to talk about it with anyone else. One of my top New York sources, with direct access to most of the Masters of the Universe, loves to quip that Davos and Bilderberg are just for the messenger boys: the guys who really run the show don’t even bother to show up, ensconced in their uber-private meetings in uber-private clubs, where the real decisions are made.
Still, anyone following in some detail the rotten state of the “rules-based international order” will have a pretty good idea about the 2022 Bilderberg chatter.
What the Chinese say
Secretary of State Little Blinken – Sullivan’s sidekick in the ongoing Crash Test Dummy administration’s Dumb and Dumber remake – has recently claimed that China “supports” Russia on Ukraine instead of remaining neutral.
What really matters here is that Little Blinken is implying that Beijing wants to destabilize Asia-Pacific – which is a notorious absurdity. Yet that’s the master narrative that must pave the way for the US to muscle up its “Indo-Pacific” concoction. And that’s the briefing Sullivan and Kurt Campbell will be delivering to the “diverse group”.
Davos – with its new self-billed mantra, “The Great Narrative” – completely excluded Russia. Bilderberg is mostly about containment of China – which after all is the number one existential threat to the Empire of Lies and its satrapies.
Rather than wait for Bilderberg morsels dispensed by The Economist, it’s much more productive to check out what a cross-section of fact-based Chinese intelligentsia thinks about the new “collective West” racket.
Let’s start with Justin Lin Yifu, former Chief Economist of the World Bank and now Dean of the Institute of New Structural Economics at Peking University, and Sheng Songcheng, former head of the Financial Survey and Statistic Dept. a the Bank of China.
They advance that if China achieves “dynamic zero infection” on Covid-19 by the end of May (that actually happened: see the end of the Shanghai lockdown), China’s economy may grow by 5.5% in 2022.
They dismiss the imperial attempt to establish an “Asian version of NATO”: “As long as China continues to grow at a higher rate and to open up, European and ASEAN countries would not participate in the US’s decoupling trap so as to ensure their economic growth and job creation.”
Three academics from the Shanghai Institute of International Studies and Fudan University touch on the same point: the American-announced “Indo-Pacific Economic Framework”, supposed to be the economic pillar of the Indo-Pacific strategy, is nothing but a cumbersome attempt to “weaken the internal cohesion and regional autonomy of ASEAN.”
Liu Zongyi stresses that China’s position at the heart of the vastly inter-connected Asian supply chains “has been consolidated”, especially now with the onset of the largest trade deal on the planet, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).
Chen Wengling, Chief Economist of a think tank under the key National Development and Reform Commission, notes the “comprehensive ideological and technological war against China” launched by the Americans.
But he’s keen to stress how they are “not ready for a hot war as the US and Chinese economies are so closely linked.” The crucial vector is that “the US has not yet made substantial progress in strengthening its supply chain focusing on four key fields including semiconductors.”
Chen worries about “China’s energy security”; “China’s silence” on US sanctions on Russia, which “may result in US retaliation”; and crucially, how “China’s plan of building the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) with Ukraine and EU countries will be affected.” What will happen in practice is BRI will be privileging economic corridors across Iran and West Asia, as well as the Maritime Silk Road, instead of the Trans-Siberian corridor across Russia.
It’s up to Yu Yongding, from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) and a former member of the Monetary Policy Committee of the Central Bank, to go for the jugular, noting how” the global financial system and the US dollar have been weaponized into geopolitical tools. The nefarious behavior of the US in freezing foreign exchange reserves has not only seriously damaged the international credibility of the US but has also shaken the credit foundation of the dominant international financial system in the West.”
He expresses the consensus among Chinese intel, that “if there is a geopolitical conflict between the US and China, then China’s overseas assets will be seriously threatened, especially its huge reserves. Therefore, the composition of China’s external financial assets and liabilities urgently needs to be adjusted and the portion of US dollar denominated assets in its reserves portfolio should be reduced.”
This chessboard sucks
A serious debate is raging across virtually all sectors of Chinese society on the American weaponization of the world financial casino. The conclusions are inevitable: get rid of US Treasuries, fast, by any means necessary; more imports of commodities and strategic materials (thus the importance of the Russia-China strategic partnership); and firmly secure overseas assets, especially those foreign currency reserves.
Meanwhile Bilderberg’s “diverse group”, on the other side of the pond, is discussing, among other things, what will really happen in case they force the IMF racket to blow up (a key plan to implement The Great Reset, or “Great Narrative”).
They are starting to literally freak out with the slowly but surely emergence of an alternative, resource-based monetary/financial system: exactly what the Eurasia Economic Union (EAEU) is currently discussing and designing, with Chinese input.
Imagine a counter-Bilderberg system where a basket of Global South actors, resource-rich but economically poor, are able to issue their own currencies backed by commodities, and finally get rid of their status of IMF hostages. They are all paying close attention to the Russia gas-for-rubles experiment.
And in China’s particular case, what will always matter is loads of productive capital underpinning a massive, extremely deep industrial and civil infrastructure.
No wonder Davos and Bilderberg messenger boys, when they look at The Grand Chessboard, are filled with dread: their era of perpetual free lunch is over. What would delight cynics, skeptics, neoplatonists and Taoists galore is that it was Davos-Bilderberg Men (and Women) who actually boxed themselves into zugzwang.
All dressed up – with nowhere to go. Even JP Morgan’s Jamie Dimon – who didn’t even bother to go to Bilderberg – is scared, saying an economic “hurricane” is coming. And overturning the chessboard is no remedy: at best that may invite a ceremonious tuxedo visit by Mr. Sarmat and Mr. Zircon carrying some hypersonic bubbly.

the presence of the undead henry kissinger might be quite telling. after being dusted off and propped up in front of the davos crowd, the old fossil is now trotted out to the bilderburg podium to spread his message of peace and love. hopefully soros will show up and the two can have a geriactic death match to decide the fate of ukraine.
You mean they shouldn’t be gathering to discuss current issues and the way ahead? Those meetings are brainstorm sessions – a businessman or a banker listening to a presentation on war may come up with suggestions that military men wouldn’t be able to. Also, any efforts need to be coordinated and all possible domains used to the fullest. That doesn’t happen spontaneously. The “West” needs to maintain its integration, improve it and grow, in a perspective where anyone else’s integration is impeded, and globalization for the rest of the world turns into de-globalization.
Let’s face it, national “representative democracy” has been surpassed long ago, at that level many of the issues can not be discussed (pointless) or solved (impossible, due to size, complexity, etc.)
Celebrating the decline of the “West” is a bit premature, I think. If a 30 trillion dollar debt doesn’t blow up the USA, then there must be something else that keeps the house standing. What kind of concrete or iron beams would that be, hmmm? Baron Munchausen is your friend.
—————————————
Not on the menu at Bilderberg:
The American Empire: A Private Enterprise . After centuries of care and maintenance the exhausted British elected to turn over the keys of Empire to the US. We had been, for decades, carefully planning for that day to come. The Brits had woven their presence into most of the world and the average English citizen felt a part of it all. As a multi generational reality it was quite normal for a citizen to spend a portion of life abroad doing the Empire’s work. This in-country presence over generations had gifted English language and Western ethos worldwide.
Upon receiving the keys, as had long been anticipated, America’s approach to Empire was quite different. Our Empire was to be a private enterprise and ownership would remain in select hands in perpetuity. In fact the words American Empire were to never appear in any official communique.
Ownership was to be allocated carefully with one firm caveat. No elected official was ever to be admitted; too transitory, thus unreliable. Of course, this would apply to the highest offices in the land. Presidents would come and go not fully aware they were considered to be figureheads by the rulers.
The British had established and maintained a presence in many countries for centuries. The US would attempt the same but American civilians in-country would not be a dominant feature. Our major presence would be the military. It was agreed that a form of governance was the first order of business. Since we would not have a State to control, determine and direct proceeding, we would put in place a Deep State, answerable only to the masters. We had not disarmed as most nations had after World War ll. The war machine was left in place and would be added to for decades. Therefore the military would be welcomed well up into the power circle. The largest business enterprises supplying the military were enjoined as well.
Large investment banks were invited gleefully. Especially welcomed was the Federal Reserve Bank which had been created to assure a supply of money for the Empire, always. To prevent any inertia remaining that might slow down the dollar flow, gold as value was removed so the dollar could live beyond its means at the will of the elite.. Now, five decades later, the worldwide ensorcellment of the dollar and money does enchant us so, has allowed creation of unlimited fiat currency and the resultant monstrous debt that is to be guaranteed, of course, by our descendants.
The keystone to this most ambitious undertaking has been without doubt, the major media. The early stage was confined to print media; radio tagged along soon after. Television and film were problematic but eager helpers from viewer protection agencies kept close watch; to keep the conversation on a proscribed track. The internet should/could have been a problem for the elite, but interest in factual accuracy had long since been excised from the public psyche about our hegemon, that secret power cabal. All aspects of control are solidly in place to permanently maintain an American Empire which does not officially even exist. So…
The game continues.
It is the stupid people that allow this to happen…those that are subjugated to the Deep State.

The electric chair’s too good for that group.
Well, whatever your thoughts are on Davos and Bilderberg, don’t hold your breath looking for coverage of either on CNN, FOX, NCB, ABC, or the CVS Evening Nudes with Nora O’Oddnell.
Fear not, it will unravel and as the cliche goes “the chickens will come home to roost”. In this case the dollars and inflation.
Somewhere in the recesses of my childhood memory, there is an idyllic and slightly bucolic, shimmering veranda or porch where life is simple, sweet and pure joy, the harmony of all is well ambience permeates. It’s a place so perfect, I’m sure it’s just a dream. But every once in a blue moon, I catch a fleeting moment of ecstasy, as wisps of it peek out just above subconscious.
Wonderful simply wonderful
Har har har!! You sure know how to dish!
So it’s coming down to the multipolar good guys versus the unipolar (((bad guys))). I’ll bet the bank on the former.
But alas, stuck in the USA, I hope the good guys have mercy on us western little guys (who never, ever supported the bad guys!), but whose life earnings are now held hostage — like me, for example, by tax-rape each time I liberate some of my IRA thousands.
What’s a girl to do?
Continuity of government is the key term. This is a statutory term from United States policy originated in nuclear war planning going back to forty years ago. Translation: martial law and military dictatorship in the United States.
If that is what they are discussing at Bilderberg in secret we won’t be told.

There are a number of different sites with that terminology–it’s not just info wars.
The so called “masters of the universe” forget that everything under the sun has it’s time. They believe they can hold on to power forever… Not possible.
James A. Baker 3rd.
Once long ago considered him to be an American.
Wrong. Just another turd long past flushing.
You know, if we (We The Peasants) stop buying what they’re selling and begin to produce and create for ourselves those essentials of life, outside of their control/money/media matrix, we’ll soon starve the Parasite-Beast, which, let’s face it, is nothing without us.
And if we develope systems which stregthen and empower us by mutual support and cooperation, sans any form of reliance on centralised power structures, then we may actually come to live free and fulfilling lives in harmony with God, nature and one another.
But as long as we defer to government, media and the “economy-stupid” we will remain at the mercey of the Parasite.
Mathmatics isn’t my strong-point, but I can manage to wrap my head around such a simple equasion. And from there my creative juices flow to the developement of simple, life-affirming solutions. Which, of course, invariably involve co-oporation with my fellow peasants.
One commenter above thinks that globalisation is inevitable. I beg to differ. Localisation is just as likely and much more appealing. The only thing that seems to be lacking, thanks to the media strangle-hold on information flow, is the will of the people. But given my personal experience, and the quality of the Peasants I’ve had the pleasure to call friends over the years, I’d suggest that this seeming lack of will is a mirrage deliberately mantained to trap the common man in spsychological powerlessness.
Getting the word out, whilst developing cooperative solutions within our communities and neighbourhoods is the key. And as the “economy-stupid” crashes around our peasant ears, so our chances of success increase.
I was often told as I grew up on the poor side of Liverpool, even as my mum skrimped to put food on the table, that “it’s a free world”.
So let it be!
Let their house of cards fall.
Much love,
Kali.
Bilderberg/Bohemian Grove groups like to TRY to get ahead of trends, to attempt preparations and contingent planning.
In this case, the clear trend across the West is turmoil, economic depression, resource shortage and probably expanded war abroad.
Domestically the trends are civil disobedience, racial tensions and immigration issues, all of which have always potentially been there, but have been up to now papered over by, shall we say, FAKE economic activity (also known as unpayable debt and mortgages, an economy built on finance and speculation rather than on productive industry, and massive inflation with ironically an economic meltdown).
The unsustainable illusion of wealth is now crumbling, so the social issues, which have never been addressed, will now explode. We are looking at the worst features of the 1930s Depression, 1970s Stagflation and the 2008 Crisis, all rolled into one.
These are not issues for this year only. These are the long-term trends, decades in the making, and shall be with us for a VERY long time. This decade might be particularly grim.
We should not care a whit what the Bilderberg/Bohemian Grove elites think. These are enormous historical forces that they may try to influence, but which will simply steamroller them. Either that, or they wisely stand aside.

This is a myth. China is the lynchpin that gives this group some excuse for its existence.
After the global covid lockdown-fest, anyone who still supports globalisation is insane.
As Pepe does his happy-dance with the Bilderberg’s there serious problems going on in China.
Here is Dr. Michael Hudson’s latest interview. He’s talking about the legacy left over from the localities from the past.” Read carefully, because this is a bid headache that many in China are trying to solve:
Dr. Hudson:
“Right now, Xi has a problem in increasing the taxes that are – if he increases the taxes on housing and real estate on the rents that are now being paid to the banks, the banks will go under. How is he going to manage this? I think that he should let the banks go under because the bankers who made a lot of money will go under but fortunately, ultimately, all this banking money is owed to the government.
(19:56)
And the government can simply write down the debt. So yes, property prices that have been inflated by debt will go down but the building won’t be destroyed. It’s just the price of the building will go down and there are all sorts of ways of compensating for that by reducing the rents to reflect the actual cost of the building. This is the discussion that’s going on throughout China and the problem is especially serious in an area that really, the government has left to the localities in the past. People think of China as being a centralised, centrally-managed economy but that’s not what’s happened at all.
Localities have had an enormous freedom to let a hundred flowers bloom, let each go their own way and the result is that localities have had to finance their domestic city and local spending by selling land to developers. And that is the problem that – that has created the enormous problems that you have today because the developers have then gone to the banks, not the government of China banks, but the banks that are borrowed from are the Bank of China and there has been a whole sort of privatised financialised banking system that’s developed. That’s what they’re finally turning to in the next presidency of Xi. And obviously, everybody in China realises that this has to be done right now and that hasn’t become explicit but that’s the problem that I’m sure they’re all talking about in Beijing this week.”
You’ve got the understand the mentality of these US/EU/UK capitalists. Before they consider a nuclear war, they’ve got plenty to do before they come to that point.
Yes, there is evidence that The US FED & its System blew up after the Financial Crash 2007-8. It’s a fact that after The Crash, between 2009-2019, the US FED let loose billions/trillions of $$ to their patrons in the US/EU/UK. We saw these chums investing in potentially toxic “derivatives,” “credit default swaps” and the whole system of gorging themselves on Big Profits.
Then something happened by autumn of 2019……a few weeks before Covid struck. Some say, from all that gorging, the System almost broke down. Suddenly, we had The FED and all the Big Players like Larry Fink, Mark Carney, and others who sat down to stave off an apparent catastrophe. What we know is that shipping/trading was heavily reduced, causing pain in China, the US/EU/UK with “lockdowns.” Moreover, thousands of US/Western small shops were forced to close.
Since then, The FED & the Big Banks have “manufactured” inflation with greatly increased Interest Rates. Then came the pre-planned attack against Russia which in turn stopped most trading between Germany, Italy, Others with Russia. All by design by the US & its cohorts in the UK/EU.
So, please keep that narrative in mind. It may reflect what caused the US FED to suddenly pivot into a kind of “hard-drive” mode.
