Bilderberg’s “Ruling Class Journalists”
True to form, this year’s secrecy-cloaked meeting of the Bilderberg Group included a generous sampling of representatives from the “elite” media. Among the “journalists” in attendance were Megan McArdle, Washington Post; Claire McCaskill, former U.S. senator (D-Mo.), now at NBC News; Stefano Feltri, deputy editor-in-chief of Italy’s Il Fatto Quotidiano; Lilli Gruber, editor-in-chief and anchor of Italy’s Otto e mezzo and La7 TV; John Micklethwait, editor-in-chief of Bloomberg; Javier Monzon, chairman of the Spanish media giant PRISA; Zanny Minton Beddoes, editor-in-chief of The Economist; Mathias Dopfner, chairman and CEO of Axel Springer, the German-based international media behemoth; Dominique Nora, managing editor of France’s L’Obs; Jolanta Pieńkowska, anchor and presenter of Poland’s TVP, radio “Trójka,” and TVN; Pietro Supino, chairman of Tamedia Group, Switzerland’s largest media conglomerate; Martin H. Wolf, chief economics commentator of Britain’s Financial Times; and Gerhard Zeiler, chief revenue officer of WarnerMedia. Then there is the chairman of Bilderberg himself, Count Henri de Castries, who, besides serving as a director on the board of the huge Argus Media organization, is also vice-chairman of Nestle, the world’s largest food company, and a director of HSBC, Europe’s largest bank. In 2017, Nestle spent $7.2 billion in media advertising, while HSBC spends about $400 million annually on media.

International banker David Rockefeller, known as “Mr. Globalist,” once explicitly thanked these accommodating press-titutes for not doing their jobs, for not reporting what their audiences — the people — have a right to know. Rockefeller was for several decades chairman, then chair emeritus, of the Council on Foreign Relations, as well as the founder and chairman of the Trilateral Commission — and a longtime leader of the Bilderberg Group Steering Committee. At the 1991 Bilderberg meeting, he expressed his appreciation for the compliant, self-censoring “discretion” of the “journalists” in attendance with these words:
