The 2005 Bilderberg Meeting was the 53^rd such meeting and had participants from European countries, the United States and Canada. It was held at Rottach-Egern, Germany. The guests included business executives, politicians, financiers, editors/journalists and academics. The next meeting was the 2006 Bilderberg.

Timing

Early May is a very early time of year for a Bilderberg, In fact the meeting was the earliest in the year since the 1967 Bilderberg.

Agenda

The 2005 Bilderberg Agenda has not been leaked, but the website at Bilderberg Meetings has posted an agenda.

Reporting

The 2005 Bilderberg was reported on by Jim Tucker, who wrote in the American Free Press:

This year, Bilderberg was exposed at a posh resort in a tiny village 40 miles from Munich (the Dorint Sofitel Seehotel Ueberfahrt in Rottach-Egern, a five-star conference and business hotel). Bilderberg has roughly 120 participants, including international financiers, heads of state and other high officials from Europe and North America. U.S. luminaries include David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger.

All recent presidents, except the current George W. Bush, have been linked, either directly or by involvement with Bilderberg's brother group, the Trilateral Commission. The two groups have interlocking leadership and a common agenda. Here are some past presidents who have been connected:

Jerry Ford, Bilderberg; Jimmy Carter, Trilateral; Ronald Reagan, a critic of the Trilateralists until entering the White House, where he held a reception for them; Bush the Elder, Trilateral; and Bill Clinton, Bilderberg.

The White House and the departments of state, defense and treasury are always represented at Bilderberg, along with other high officials. They lie and say they are attending no such meeting. The ritzy resort that Bilderberg takes over, banishing all other guests, also lies and says no such meeting is taking place.
