The Bilderberg Group
This is one group that might not be as well known as some of the other notorious secret societies. Of course, there are far fewer rituals it seems, and more political intrigue and sketchy king making. According to Time Magazine, “Since 1954, the Bilderberg Group has been gathering in secret to discuss everything from the rise and fall of communism to nuclear conflict to cybersecurity. The group began as a way to create more cooperation between Europe and North America during the tumultuous 1950s, and Bilderberg releases an annual list of the people who will attend and the topics they’ll discuss, but beyond that, little leaves the walls of the meeting rooms.”
Bilderberg operates under the Chatham House Rule. This means that the information one discovers during a meeting can be used to make decisions, but that information may not be disclosed outside of the meeting. With so many powerful decisions being made in this group, conspiracy theorists have a field day as to what could happen. Many speculate that this is the beginning of new world order and that they strive to create the idea of one-world government. For doomsday preppers, this is a big buzz term that signifies the Biblical end of times as foretold in Revelations. Some of the people privy to these meetings have even admitted that the idea they’re trying to create a new world order may be sensationalized but is not too far off the mark.
