This year, the Bilderberg meeting is taking place in Virginia, USA. Here’s a look at the topics that will be discussed at this elite meeting and the full list of attendees.

The three-day summit of the political and economic elite began on June 1st at the Westfields Marriott in Virginia. The luxury hotel has been on complete lockdown since Wednesday as a team of landscapers have been busy planting trees around the perimeter to protect the site from prying eyes.

This year, Bilderberg meeting is taking at less than 50 miles from the Oval Office, a location that is somewhat symbolic and appropriate. Indeed, the #1 topic of discussion listed on the official Bilderberg website is The Trump Administration: A progress report.

Is the Trump administration working according to plan? Remember that the motto of the elite is Order After Chaos.

Here is the official agenda of the Bilderberg meeting:

The Trump Administration: A progress report Trans-Atlantic relations: options and scenarios The Trans-Atlantic defence alliance: bullets, bytes and bucks The direction of the EU Can globalisation be slowed down? Jobs, income and unrealised expectations The war on information Why is populism growing? Russia in the international order The Near East Nuclear proliferation China Current events

The meeting will include a few members of the White House such as national security adviser HR McMaster, the commerce secretary Wilbur Ross, and Trump’s new strategist, Chris Liddell. Henry Kissinger, a Bilderberg veteran, will also attend. He recently visited Trump at the White House to discuss “Russia and other things”.

The meeting will also include top figures in news and mass media such as the President of Turner International (which owns CNN), the editors of publications The Economist and the London Evening Standard and the head of the British media watchdog organization Ofcom.

Here is the full list of attendees.
