As Donald Trump gets ready to regain the White House, the Bilderberg Group, a covert organization of the world’s elite, is going through a leadership transition. Former NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg has been chosen to chair the society’s “steering committee,” which is made up of prominent figures from the military, business, education, and politics.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
A significant change in power is currently taking place as Stoltenberg, who was invited to his first Bilderberg meeting in 2002, is being called upon for his knowledge of transatlantic policy. It coincides with Trump’s return to the White House, whose many assaults on NATO have provoked anger throughout Europe. The president-elect has made it clear that he will no longer use US taxpayer dollars to finance the conflicts of other nations.Cold War anxieties over communism have been replaced by a fresh focus on “the emerging axis of autocrats,” which includes Russia and China.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict took front stage during Stoltenberg’s time at NATO, and he took pride in having presided over “the largest reinforcement of our collective defense in a generation.” This increased defense spending has helped many of his Bilderberg colleagues. Among them is Trump insider Peter Thiel, the head of Palantir, a massive AI company whose technology Ukraine has utilized to combat Putin.
Trump’s “campaign rhetoric had raised legitimate concerns about his commitment to European security,” Stoltenberg cautioned last month. However, Thiel, who has been one of the president-elect’s strongest supporters, gives the new Bilderberg head a direct route to Trump in case things turn messy.
“Europe should think about how Mr. Trump’s disruptive nature might help to position Europe for a better future, rather than portraying him as the destroyer of an old order,” she wrote. Stoltenberg might try to use the media to influence the Bilderberg Group’s approach. The secretive club tends to keep the specifics of its meetings confidential and steers clear of any contact with the media. However, Silicon Valley billionaires like Thiel, who are more comfortable speaking in front of an audience, are among the new members, and Stoltenberg is no stranger to working with the media.
Together with Marie-Josée Kravis, a Canadian-American philanthropist and economist who serves on the board of Publicis, one of the biggest PR and communications firms in the world, Stoltenberg will co-chair the steering group. Henry Kravis, the billionaire who founded the renowned investment firm KKR, is Kravis’s spouse. At its upcoming annual conference, which will take place in Sweden—appropriately, the country of its new leader, Stoltenberg—a clear understanding of the Bilderberg’s new strategy may become evident.
As for Thiel, the co-founder of Palantir Technologies and PayPal, he has established a reputation as a divisive political personality as well as a creative businessman. As a fervent Trump supporter, Thiel’s power has gradually increased within Bilderberg, an organization that brings together world leaders, business leaders, and legislators for private talks on pressing issues.
He is in a unique position as Bilderberg adjusts to Trump’s “America First” policy because of his close ties to Trump associates, such as Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, a former employee of Thiel’s Mithril Capital. Thiel’s importance in world geopolitics is highlighted by his affiliation with Palantir Technologies, a preeminent AI and data analytics company. In crises like the ongoing confrontation between Russia and Ukraine, Palantir has played a crucial role in military targeting and surveillance.
Palantir’s impact was recently brought to light by CEO Alex Karp, who is also a member of the Bilderberg steering committee, who said that the company was “responsible for most of the targeting in Ukraine.” This clear connection to contemporary combat serves as an example of how Thiel’s tech company supports Bilderberg’s military and security agenda. The nomination of Stoltenberg as co-chair also represents the group’s strategic realignment amid escalating geopolitical tensions. This cabal of the global, primarily liberal, elite — with strong ties to the EU — meets annually behind a veil of secrecy.

Bilderberg has been attending meetings with Stoltenberg since 2002, when he oversaw NATO’s biggest defense reinforcement in a generation. He was a logical choice to lead Bilderberg’s talks on transatlantic defense because the Russia-Ukraine crisis and NATO’s growing expansion dominated his time as its chairman. Thiel’s increasing power at Bilderberg, however, also points to the fusion of military policy with technological innovation.
In keeping with the group’s longstanding ties to intelligence and defense, Palantir and his robotics company, Anduril, have both profited from the global weapons race. Thiel’s tech-driven defense donations and ideological affinities with Trump offer a contemporary example of Bilderberg’s original philosophy, which combined elite power with geopolitical strategy.
Given Stoltenberg’s leadership and Thiel’s enormous sway, the Bilderberg Group appears to be becoming more and more entwined with both political and military innovation. In a time of resurgent great-power competition, the group’s next conference in Stockholm, which will be hosted by billionaire businessman Marcus Wallenberg, is expected to focus on defense expenditures and transatlantic cooperation.
The Bilderberg meetings are so secret that no press conferences are held, no minutes are taken, and no reports are released. Participants may use and report information shared at the conference in accordance with “Chatham House Rules,” but they are not required to reveal the source.
At least 120 self-described “leading citizens” from Europe and the United States make up the Bilderberg Group, so named because it was founded in 1954 at the Hotel Bilderberg in the Netherlands. The group meets once a year to talk about “issues of common interest.” Each summer, leaders from the fields of politics, commerce, academia, finance, and defense sequester themselves in a hotel under strict security for three days to discuss issues of critical global importance that the rest of us can only conjecture about.
There is going to be a lot of speculation and hypothesis on the subject matter of their conversations. On the extreme end of the spectrum are conspiracy theorists who think that the Bilderberg Group covertly planned the death of President John F. Kennedy, the ouster of U.S. President Richard Nixon, and the harassment of Margaret Thatcher from power.
While such statements are obviously absurd, opponents have argued that it should be far more open since mystery breeds extravagant speculation. Many contend that the event’s only purpose is to provide participants a chance to network and lobby.

The attendance roll-call is always auspicious. Prime ministers, members of the royal family, including Prince Charles at the time, army generals, bank governors, and CEOs of corporations have all found time in their hectic schedules to attend. Often characterized as Marxist or fascist in origin, some have asserted that the group’s ultimate goal is to create a New World Order.
In the past few years, radio presenter Alex Jones has been very outspoken in his condemnation of the Bilderberg Group, calling them “evil,” “ruthless,” and “puppeteers above the major parties.” Even conspiracy theorists, however, cannot agree on the dominant philosophy of the Bilderberg Group; some contend that it is unrestrained capitalism, while others argue that it is tinged with left-wing or even Nazi ideals.
Bilderberg provides Thiel with a platform to advance his goal of fusing national security and technology, so securing his position as a key player in a world order that is changing quickly. Thiel’s participation will guarantee that Silicon Valley’s fingerprints stay firmly etched on the future of global strategy, even as Stoltenberg strives to maintain the alliance’s unity and strength.
With a number of tech pals positioned for important positions, Thiel’s influence continues into Trump’s government. Prominent individuals including Marcus Wallenberg, head of Saab, a major defense producer, and Eric Schmidt, a former Google CEO and defense AI pioneer, are also on Bilderberg’s steering committee.
Thiel’s network within Bilderberg is well-positioned to close the divide between the administration’s nationalist agenda and the organization’s transatlantic goals as Trump prepares to return to the White House. Thiel’s geographical location seems to be crucial as Stoltenberg works to strengthen NATO and transatlantic ties in the face of possible pressure from Trump’s agenda. Since its establishment in 1954, Bilderberg’s success has been attributed to its flexibility in responding to political shifts.
Now a major power shift is afoot as Stoltenberg, who attended his first Bilderberg summit in 2002, has been tapped for his expertise in transatlantic strategy.
It comes as Trump, whose frequent attacks on NATO have sparked outrage in Europe, ascends once more to the Oval Office. The president-elect has been adamant that he will no longer spend billions in US taxpayer money to fund other countries’ wars.
Fears of communism from the Cold War have given way to a renewed emphasis on “the emerging axis of autocrats,” which includes China and Russia.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
