Numerous Web sites have published a list of delegates attending the Bilderberg 2010 conference in Spain between June 3 and June 6.
It's an annual invitation-only meeting of some of the world's most influential leaders in government, banking, business, and the media.
The Bilderberg conference has attracted the interest of conspiracy theorists, in part because of its secrecy.
The list includes the usual heavyweights, such as Bill Gates, Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Richard Holbrooke (President Barack Obama's special representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan), Henry Kissinger, former U.S. Federal Reserve chief Paul Volcker, Obama's top economic adviser Lawrence Summers, former U.S. treasury secretary Robert Rubin, and Richard Perle, a U.S. neocon best known as a chief cheerleader of the 2003 attack on Iraq.
The are also a couple of surprising Canadian names on the list: B.C. premier Gordon Campbell and CBC chief correspondent Peter Mansbridge.
"Bilderberg's only activity is its annual Conference," states a news release on the Bilderberg site. "At the meetings, no resolutions are proposed, no votes taken, and no policy statements issued. Since 1954, fifty-seven conferences have been held. The names of the participants are made available to the press. Participants are chosen for their experience, their knowledge, and their standing; all participants attend Bilderberg in a private and not an official capacity."
Development economist Dambisa Moyo, who is a fierce critic of international aid for Africa, is also among the attendees, along with numerous corporate chiefs.

I have contacted several media outlets to look into this, we shall see. I also looked into how to instigate a public inquiry into this matter. I have spoken to the Attorney General's office, other political parties legislative caucuses, the rcmp (don't know why I was directed there at this point) and even contacted Mr. Campbell's office to see if he was actually in Spain (they could not answer). I was left with initiating a freedom of information request in order to determine the details (public funds used?, agenda, and how his attending benefits BC.)
Because the FOI process relies on "records", this could be a lengthy process. Either way I encourage all of you to do the same. Peace
No wonder Gordon Campbell has been selling off public works to private companies... He represents them!
And now what is our RCMP going to do to a man who represents an anti-society subservient terrorist group...
Or are they cowards or in the pocket?
Mansbridge..nice guy but not a serious journalist.
Bibi Netanyhu got off so easy last week when he was interviewed by Mansbridge.It wasn't an interview but more like a fireside chat between friends while being taped.
I used to respect him but any more.
Wendy Mesley's got bigger balls than he does and she's a tiny girl.
Well, in any social organism there is a pecking order, there are rites of passage and initiations.
Bilderberg is a Swahili word for " I'm gonna give it to you up the wazoo"
Look like Gordo's going to be somebody's BEATCH.
THIS IS THE OLD WORLD ORDER..don't kid yourselves people.
Look for the Trilateral Commission, Council of Foreign Relations, Project for a New American Century, The Aspen Institute...The Office of Net Assessment ( Andrew Marshall).
These people are fascists in bespoke clothing and Gordo's going to be sitting at the table... now you know where he gets his marching orders from.
Good on you Charlie for sussing this out, or should I say outing this pussy.
His clandestine governance and despicable elitist attitude toward British Columbians
should give him a leg up within an unelected oligarchy.
Wonder who his reference would be??? Anyone care to guess...
I will not do business with these people again, the Elitists from Bilderberg, CFR and Trilateral Comission want a dictatoral "One World Government" and us as their slaves and eugenics experiments !
