Nitze—to staff his administration, and many Carter administration officials had attended
the retreat.
According to a list published by one critic, the attendees of Bilderberg 2008 include
Henry Kissinger, Ben S. Bernanke, David Rockefeller, Vin Weber, Henry Kravis, Robert
B. Zoellick, Donald Graham, Vernon Jordan, Charlie Rose, and their equals from Europe.
Protestors staked out the elite at the hotel's entrance and recorded "surveillance" videos
inside and outside the minimum-security facility before the event commenced.
About this much the Bilderberg critics are right: The mainstream media ignored
Bilderberg 2008. According to Nexis, Wonkette and Raw Story noted the event and the
critics' objections on the Web. A simple Web search produces Bilderberg detractors Alex
Jones and Jim Tucker sounding their alarms.
And about this, too, the Bilderberg critics are right: The meeting of 120 prominent world
figures probably constitutes some kind of news. Yet to be fair to the mainstream press,
it's tough to report from a private gathering locked down tight by professional security.
Bilderberg organizers expect participants to keep the weekend's discussions off-therecord,
stating in a press release this year that "the privacy of the meetings has no purpose
other than to allow participants to speak their minds openly and freely." Bilderberg isn't
the only international group that asks participants to zip their lips. The United Kingdom's
Chatham House enshrined such a rule back in 1927, and similar requirements apply at
some Council on Foreign Relations and Aspen Strategy Group meetings, just to name a
few. Private groups meet in almost every town in the world for confidential chats. It's the
way of the world. Bilderberger gab does occasionally leak, as with John Edwards' 2004
talk, but the poshes and powerful generally zip their lips.
What do you suppose would result if, say, the Washington Post had assigned a reporter to
Chantilly's luminary jamboree The Associated Press sent a reporter to cover the 1978
Bilderberger session in Princeton, N.J., but all he filed was a scene piece describing "men
in gray suits and sunglasses" chasing him away from the "off limits" grounds of the
Henry Chauncey Conference Center. From that dispatch (by Steve Hindy):
Kissinger casually strolled around a small manmade pond Saturday, coming within a few
feet of the road leading into the complex.
