The former CEO of Kissinger Associates, David Rothkopf , wrote Superclass in which he said the world was ruled by Thirty Families and their 6,000 Minions. For several years I have written brief bios of the men and women attending Bilderberg thinking that insights into the Minions of the multi-billionaire families they represent will give us a clue as to what they plan to do to us in the near future.
The key topics for discussion this year include:
- Populism in Europe
- The inequality challenge
- The future of work
- Artificial intelligence
- The US before midterms
- Free trade
- US world leadership
- Russia
- Quantum computing
- Saudi Arabia and Iran
- The “post-truth” world
- Current events

Castries was replaced as CEO of AXA on Sept 1, 2016.
Achleitner, Paul M. (DEU), Chairman Supervisory Board, Deutsche Bank AG; Treasurer, Foundation Bilderberg Meetings. Deutsche Bank has long been a favorite of Bilderberg. They helped fix interest rates and gold and silver prices. Remember Gordon Brown’s disastrous sale of UK gold? It was designed to drive down the price of gold and to save Deutsche Bank. It was contrary to British interests to sell gold for below market prices. He went to Harvard and worked for Goldman Sachs. He is on the Board at Bayer and Daimler (Mercedes.) He was the second Jewish CEO of Deutsche Bank in recent years. Bayer is taking over Monsanto. Anyone ready for GMO Round Up Ready babies?

Agius began his career at the Rothschild associated Lazard bank. PA consulting sold half of its shares to the American Carlyle Group. The Carlyle Group is tied to CIA and Sate Dept personnel from the Bush administration. They are major arms merchants.

Speaking of infrastructure ripoffs, he helps run the Hamilton Project which is focused on rebuilding America’s infrastructure. They are linked to Brookings. Since they are liberals, the corporate press will not call them thieves if they steal a trillion dollars.
Amorim, Paula (PRT), Chairman, Américo Amorim Group. She is the daughter of the man who was the wealthiest man in Portugal. She seems to be in charge of his business interest. She divorced her first husband and married a man with two Jewish last names. First time participant.

ONA also studies the security environment and provides a source of deep, long term future thinking for the Department of Defense. Former colonel. First time attendee. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations which means he is a Globalist. Invited for his expert knowledge on threat assessments. America’s abilities to fight a major war and win are highly over exaggerated.

Her husband is an investment banker at Barclays. She is board member and vice president at Gucci owner Kering She has a strong history in French business. Recently elevated to the Steering Committee.
Barroso, José M. Durão (PRT), Chairman, Goldman Sachs International; Former President, European Commission. Former EU president. He used to be a frequent object of Nigel Farage’s wrath at the EU parliament. Farage used to name Barroso as one of a long list of EU commissioners who were either former Maoists and Communists or were convicted felons or under indictment for felonies. He was a member of the underground Maoist MRPP . I am as concerned about his relationship with Goldman Sachs as his college days in a Maoist action group.
Beerli, Christine (CHE), Former Vice-President, International Committee of the Red Cross. Her husband has a Jewish last name. First time participant. Maybe she was invited because the Red Cross has expert knowledge of refugees.

Burns, William J. (USA), President, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Returnin Participant. He replaced Jessica Tuchman Matthews who was on the Steering Committee (he is not) as President of Carnegie. She retired. He is a professional diplomat and was asked first by john Kerry and then President Obama to delay his retirement.

She worked with Robert Rubin, Erskine Bowles, the Gates Foundation, WalMart (a Jewish company), She was HHS Secretary and Director of the Office of Management and Budget. She is an expert on US budgets which is something the Pentagon and Bilderberg need to understand before starting another war. First time Participant.
Caracciolo, Lucio (ITA), Editor-in-Chief, Limes. He directs the Italian geopolitical magazine Limes which he founded in 1993 and the Eurasian Review of Heartland Geopolitics founded in 2000.

Cebrián, Juan Luis (ESP), Executive Chairman, El País. His company owns radio and TV stations and is in publishing as well. They are owned by the Phoenix Group, a British insurance company. He was a Member of the Steering Committee when he attended the last few meetings. But as of 2017 he has been removed from the Steering Committee. Some members of Bilderberg are more equal than others. Ditto for the Steering Committee. Some just recruit new members. Others set policy. But then there is this: He has been named in the Panama Papers scandal. And the Rothschilds do have an office in Reno Nevada that does nothing but use that style of financial secrecy to hide their money.
Champagne, François-Philippe (CAN), Minister of International Trade. Speaks English, French and Italian. First time Participant. Lived in Europe. Liberal party member.
Cohen, Jared (USA), Founder and CEO, Jigsaw at Alphabet Inc. Former Deputy Director, CIA Another curious case. He was a first time attendee and new member of the Bilderberg Steering committee in 2017. (No longer on Steering Committee.) He was appointed by Obama and served under John Brennan who was in charge of the Get Trump movement inside the DC Swamp.. But check out Cohen’s previous job at the Treasury Dept: He served as the Treasury Department’s Assistant Secretary for Terrorist Financing. The US has been funding Al Qaeda and ISIS so this job and his work with Brennan plus the fact that he is started out on the Steering Committee is a major reveal. What to do about populists is a listed Bilderberg topic of concern. He is a lawyer and worked in white collar criminal defense until 1999. He worked for Treasury in 1999 and is the author of Title III of the Patriot Act which dealt with money laundering. He left government service in January 2001. The Patriot Act was sitting there just waiting for 911 so the Bush admin could get it passed in October of that year.
Colao, Vittorio (ITA), CEO, Vodafone Group. He is stepping down as CEO. He started out working for Morgan Stanley and then for McKinsey Consultants, both American firms. He lives in England. Notice these Participants are not really representative of the nations they come from. New Participant.
Cook, Charles (USA), Political Analyst, The Cook Political Report. The NY Times said he was “one of the best political handicappers in the nation”.

Dagdeviren, Canan (TUR), Assistant Professor, MIT Media Lab. She is a serious expert on making electronic components to adapt to human bodies. She is a First time Participant. Billionaires are interested in pacemakers but also in putting chips in the non-billionaire class.

He also runs the Agnelli family investment firm Exor which owns Juventus F.C., Cushman & Wakefield and SGS. Henry Kissinger, Carla Bruni, and Ell McPherson attended his wedding.

He is a member of one of the Thirty ruling families.
Émié, Bernard (FRA), Director General, Ministry of the Armed Forces. He is a career diplomat. Makes sense to Macron to put a diplomat in charge of the military. He is a new Participant.
Enders, Thomas (DEU), CEO, Airbus SE. Airbus is important to Bilderberg. Forbes called Airbus an industrial symbol of European unity. EU might soon be reduced to symbols if not ashes. This is apparent to people understand the implications of having more Unpayable Debts than at any time in world history. They are meeting in Italy. That nation could bring down the EU, the entire global economy and the US government as well as maybe 100 or more governments worldwide. He is a member of the Steering Committee.
Fallows, James (USA), Writer and Journalist. He is a liberal and started as a speech writer for President Jimmy Carter. He has been running a series articles against Trump. Journalists are often invited to Bilderberg. Not listed in the past few years as attending.

He is an official biographer of Henry Kissinger and has written about the Rothschild family . He represents the latter at Bilderberg. He is an economic historian and one of his areas of expertise is Hyperinflation. He has said the euro is doomed and can only be saved by more centralization (and less democracy). We will all become experts in Hyperinflation at the rate at which the Bilderbergers are printing money. They are intentionally creating more debts so taxpayers will become permanent debt slaves. Returning member.

Goldstein, Rebecca (USA), Visiting Professor, New York University. She is one of 10 recipients of the humanities medal which was bestowed by President Barack Obama during a Sept. 10 ceremony in the East Room of the White House. Why in the world did they invite her?

Hedegaard, Connie (DNK), Chair, KR Foundation; Former European Commissioner. She worked as a journalist for many years. She is also a Danish politician who was EU Commissioner for Climate Change serving under Bilderberg Steering committee member Barroso. She is a member of the Danish Conservative party. She had been a minister for the Environment in Denmark. The KR Foundation (http://krfnd.org/) They want to phase out coal. They say they want sustainable energy and sustainable finance. Not sure what sustainable finance means to a Bilderberger. They do want taxpayers to pay a couple trillion dollars in taxes and fees to them so they will save us from Climate Change. How about the Wigner Effect? Look it up. It says that nuclear power plants should be expected to enter into a final stage of discomposition after 30 year of service. News Flash: The US has 99 nuclear power plants with an average age of 38 years which is already 8 years beyond the Use By Date. That is not good!! Her Foundation has a program to teach us commoners how to learn to love and accept poverty.
Helgesen, Vidar (NOR), Ambassador for the Ocean, He was minister for Climate and was chief of Staff to Norway’s PM. Member of what Norwegians might think is a conservative party. He is a First time Participant.

Furniss Book Award given by the Mershon Center for International Security Studies, as well as the 2011 Best Book Award from the International Security Studies section of the International Studies Association and the 2011 Harold D. Lasswell Prize, Society of Policy Scientists. I guess Bilderberg figured out America is destined to lose the next war because they stole so much money that the country is a shell of what it was. He is a First time Participant.
Hwang, Tim (USA), Director, Harvard-MIT Ethics and Governance of AI Initiative. He is a First time Participant. Obviously they want to learn more about AI and robots replacing unreliable workers and soldiers.
Ischinger, Wolfgang (INT), Chairman, Munich Security Conference. Not his first meeting. Missed 2016. This is an annual conference that brings together CEOs and heads of state and other decision makers to discuss security. That conference attracts a lot of very powerful people. I think the Uber Rich are worried what happens to them when the working people of Europe and North America have to give up eating regular meals.
Jacobs, Kenneth M. (USA), Chairman and CEO, Lazard. Lazard describes themselves as Financial advisors and asset managers. No mention of their connections to the Rothschilds. Member of the Steering Committee.
Kaag, Sigrid (NLD), Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation. She worked for Shell as an analyst. She is an Arab linguist. She worked for the UN in Lebanon and for the chemical weapons control group for Syria. Syria has been falsely accused of using chemical weapons against civilians so NATO could do bombing missions to defend their hired thugs at ISIS and Al Qaeda. She is married to a former senior PLO official who has Jewish settlers “illegal colonists.” She is a First time Participant. I just tried to access an article cited in the comments but access was denied by local host. That means the people of Israel must know who we are.

Kissinger, Henry A. (USA), Chairman, Kissinger Associates Inc. Serial war criminal, He seems to be slowing down. No longer on the Steering Committee.

Former Chairman and CEO, Arconic He has a spotty business career. He had to quit Siemens over corruption charges. He was CEO of ALCOA and then Arconic. He used to be a member of of the board of directors of Citigroup and Bayer. For some reason he is popular with the Bankers at Bilderberg. He is a member of the Steering Committee.
Knot, Klaas H.W. (NLD), President, De Nederlandsche Bank. He was appointed by the crown. Klaas Knot has been President of DNB since 1 July 2011. By virtue of his position, he holds seats on the Governing Council and General Council of the European Central Bank, as well as on the Financial Stability Board, besides being a Governor of the International Monetary Fund. Also on board of the BIS. Returning member though he did not make the 2016 meeting. He has been appointed honorary professor of Economics of Central Banking at the Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of Groningen, where he will regularly give guest lectures. That sounds like it could be an exciting lecture if we were allowed to ask questions and he was required to answer. Sir, what is the difference between a non-interest bearing and an interest bearing currency? I doubt you could get past question 2 before being arrested. Returning Participant.
Koç, Ömer M. (TUR), Chairman, Koç Holding A.S.. He was the only son of Turkey’s wealthiest man. He graduated from Johns Hopkins in the USA.

Kotkin, Stephen (USA), Professor in History and International Affairs, Princeton University.

Outside Princeton, he has worked for several foundations on higher education reform, mostly in the Communist countries, and serves as a consultant for investors in emerging markets. His current projects include a history of the world, as seen from Stalin’s desk. Sounds like a good match for Bilderberg. He has expertise to share on the brittle nature of authoritarian regimes. Let’s hope Bilderberg is as brittle as the members fear. Returning member.
Kragic, Danica (SWE), Professor, School of Computer Science and Communication, KTH. She is a professor of robotics. Lots of AI and robotics experts at Bilderberg 2018. She is a new Participant.

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/01/the-dark-side-of-the-fourth-industrial-revolution
The asymmetry of risks that we are starting to face reinforces the need for an integrated and holistic view of security issues, and a strong synchronization between business and political action. (So what does that mean to a Bilderberg member?)
Lepomäki, Elina (FIN), MP, National Coalition Party. She is a First time Participant. She is a member of her parliament’s Finance Committee. She is a conservative? and a Globalist. Bilderberg invites people with influence back home to spread the word. She has graduate degrees in technology and economics.

The Economist urged Iraq to attack Iran 6 months before the war started. Returning member. Returning member but did not attend in 2016. It seems Bilderberg likes to change participants each year. They are trying to maximize their influence without getting too many people in the room. Otherwise they would become another Davos.

O’Leary, Michael (IRL), CEO, Ryanair D.A.C. Must have liked him at his first meeting in 2015 because he was elevated to the Steering Committee in 2017. This guy is out spoken and funny. O’Leary jokingly described the airline’s planned business class travel experience as featuring “whores and rum”.

Parolin, H.E. Pietro (VAT), Cardinal and Secretary of State. First participant from the Vatican that I can remember. Maybe he was invited because the Pope is a committed Globalist.
Patino, Bruno (FRA), Chief Content Officer, Arte France TV. New participant. He runs media and they invite some they can trust.
Petraeus, David H. (USA), Chairman, KKR Global Institute. This is a Think Tank owned by KKR which takes over companies and steal their pensions. Through R J Reynolds tobacco they launder money for drug dealers and spies. Returning member. I am surprised they invited him back. But he is not the only one with a dodgy past at Bilderberg. Maybe not so surprising. His boss is head of Bilderberg USA. And he is a military expert.
Pichette, Patrick (CAN), General Partner, iNovia Capital. New participant. He was the CFO at Google. He is now a Venture capitalist. Not much of a Canadian is he?
Pouyanné, Patrick (FRA), Chairman and CEO, Total S.A. Total is the 4th largest oil company in the world which is why he was invited. New participant.
Pring, Benjamin (USA), Co-Founder and Managing Director, Center for the Future of Work. The name of the center is deceptive. Their main web page says every move we make is made known (even our location) is made known to those we trust. I do not trust the NSA and the US government. Seems to be a big theme at Bilderberg 2018. New participant.
Rankka, Maria (SWE), CEO, Stockholm Chamber of Commerce. New participant. Stanford grad. She advocated Global Cities for Sweden. Does not sound like a real Swede. Typical Bilderberg. Will help them when she returns to Sweden.
Ratas, Jüri (EST), Prime Minister. New participant. Like the Serbian PM he was invited to help Bilderberg sell their agenda.
Rendi-Wagner, Pamela (AUT), MP (SPÖ); Former Minister of Health. She is a doctor and trained in London. The SPO is the Austrian Social Democrat party. They are pro-EU and love millions of refugees flooding into Europe. New participant.
Rivera Díaz, Albert (ESP), President, Ciudadanos Party. Maybe Bilderberg is trying to use a little finesse to prevent the break up of Spain. His party does oppose independence for Catalonia. He uses the phrase “Catalonia is my homeland, Spain is my country and Europe is our future” to outline his party’s ideology. He represented them in the Parliament. Catalonia is seething with resentment against Madrid and the EU. But they do have a lot of migrants who will resist independence. He is young and good looking. He is a former swimmer. He studied in the US and in Finland. He founded the Ciudadanos Party. He is a lawyer. His party has settled down as Center Left and has left the rabble rousing to Podemos party. Their name translates as ‘we can.’ On 9 May 2016, Podemos formed the electoral alliance Unidos Podemos with United Left, Equo and minor left-wing parties. Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal pose problems for Bilderberg. Diaz probably figures that Spain needs northern Europe to pay the way for the South as the southeners have no money. Socialists temporarily rule but the opposition wants snap elections. Returning participant.
Rossi, Salvatore (ITA), Senior Deputy Governor, Bank of Italy. He is a technician. Italy is in trouble. They need his expertise. New participant.

In 1999 Robert Rubin, Alan Greenspan, Larry Summers (Samuelson) and Arthur Levitt told Brooksley Born of the CFTC that she could not regulate Credit Default Swaps which were faux insurance. They went unregulated and did not require the seller to set aside money to pay claims. All sales income could be paid out in bonuses allowing the taxpayer to foot the bill when it came due as it did in AIG. American taxpayers according to Obama will have to pay hundreds of trillions of dollars in CDS after the euro bonds collapse. All four of those men are Jewish. No concern to them that a few billion people at some future date will starve to death. Returning member.
Rudd, Amber (GBR), MP; Former Secretary of State, Home Department. She was forced to resign over a deportation targets memo. She was Secretary for Climate Change. No such thing as human caused Global Warming. New participant.

His wife, Hilary Pearson, is the granddaughter of former Prime Minister Lester Pearson. In 2016, he was appointed as a Officer of the Order of Canada. First meeting for him. He is a billionaire regarded as a savior in Montreal where he is building a light rail system. Another man from a small country who is keeping a struggling nation united. Have not heard much from Quebec separatists of late. Returning member.
Sadjadpour, Karim (USA), Senior Fellow, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He is an Iranian and consults at high levels giving expert advice on Middle East affairs. Obvious why they need him. New participant.
Sáenz de Santamaría, Soraya (ESP), Deputy Prime Minister. She was in the Rajoy government. They are hoping for snap elections to replace the Socialists.

Nadia Schadlow argues that the steps needed to consolidate a new political order are not separate from war. They are instead an essential component of war and victory. Returning member.
Schneider-Ammann, Johann N. (CHE), Federal Councillor. He was President of Switzerland. He is an engineer. He is a member of the Free Democrat party. The Free Democratic Party or Radical Democratic Party. On 1 January 2009 it merged with the Liberal Party of Switzerland to form FDP The Liberals. It was put under pressure by the Swiss People’s Party. That latter party is the most anti-immigrant party in Switzerland. Returning member. The current government has stated that Glyphosate is OK.
Scholten, Rudolf (AUT), President, Bruno Kreisky Forum for International Dialogue. He is a Social Democrat. They lost control of Austria. He was head of the Austrian Central Bank. The Great Depression did not get going until the Rothschild owned Credit Anstalt bank of Vienna collapsed on May 11, 1931. It had too many eastern European bad debts. This man is not a professional banker. He is a member of the Bilderberg Steering Committee.
Sikorski, Radoslaw (POL), Senior Fellow, Harvard University; Former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Poland. He made uncomplimentary comments about the US in a bugged conversation. He was in charge of the Oxford Debate club. He was a member of the Bullingdon group, a very despicable bunch. David Cameron was a member. He worked at AEI while in America. They are pro-Globalist and supposedly conservative group. Returning participant. He is a new member of the Bilderberg Steering Committee.

Skartveit, Hanne (NOR), Political Editor, Verdens Gang. Another journalist invited to promote Bilderberg. New participant.
Stoltenberg, Jens (INT), Secretary General, NATO He is definitely there to talk about Iran, Russia and Syria. Returning participant. He skipped 2016. He was twice PM of Norway. In 2011, Stoltenberg received the United Nations (UN) Champion of Global Change Award in New York City. That is a black mark in my book.
Summers, Lawrence H. (USA), Charles W. Eliot University Professor, Harvard University. Major league sleaze ball. He lost a billion dollars after being told not to make a stupid CDS bet in the market. In 1999 Robert Rubin, Alan Greenspan, Larry Summers (Samuelson) and Arthur Levitt told Brooksley Born of the CFTC that she could not regulate Credit Default Swaps which were faux insurance. They were unregulated and did not require the seller to set aside money to pay claims. All sales income could be paid out in bonuses allowing the taxpayer to foot the bill when it came due as it did in AIG. American taxpayers according to Obama will have to pay hundreds of trillions of dollars in CDS after the euro bonds collapse. All four of those men are Jewish. No concern to them that a billion people at some future date will starve to death. He is a returning member.
Thiel, Peter (USA), President, Thiel Capital. He is bringing in the younger crowd of high tech billionaires the CIA and NSA will need to end anonymity on the Internet and then close down free speech. It should be noted that he is not an engineer. He is a lawyer and Stanford graduate. He worked as a derivatives trader and runs a Hedge Fund. He owned 10.2% of Facebook pre IPO. Thiel is a founder of PayPal which shuts down service to those who practice free speech on the Internet. He was an early investor in Facebook which legally should never had been offered as an IPO at anything above a dollar a share. PayPal has been linked by John Cruz to money laundering. He is a Libertarian. He defended Trump during the elections. He said: “Everyone says Trump is going to change everything way too much,” says the famed venture capitalist, contrarian and member of the Trump transition team. “Well, maybe Trump is going to change everything way too little.
