Chuck Darwin<p>Bilderberg Group changes itself for the modern world – and return of Trump </p><p>Several of Bilderberg's 31-member steering committee have senior roles in the defence industry. <br>The

class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Schmidt</span></a>, chaired the recent National Security Commission on AI, <br>and is now busy launching a kamikaze drone company aimed at the lucrative Ukraine market. <br>Meanwhile, the hugely wealthy Swedish industrialist <a href="https://c.im/tags/Marcus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Marcus</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Wallenberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wallenberg</span></a> is chair of defense manufacturer <a href="https://c.im/tags/Saab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Saab</span></a>, which enjoyed a 71% boost in orders in the first nine months of 2024, largely due to the war with Russia.<br>The tech luminary and Donald Trump insider <a href="https://c.im/tags/Peter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Peter</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Thiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thiel</span></a> founded the fast-growing robotics company <a href="https://c.im/tags/Anduril" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anduril</span></a> and the booming surveillance and AI giant <a href="https://c.im/tags/Palantir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palantir</span></a>. <br>His loyal lieutenant <a href="https://c.im/tags/Alex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alex</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Karp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Karp</span></a>, the CEO of Palantir, was voted on to the board of Bilderberg a few years ago. <br>Karp, who claims his company is “responsible for most of the targeting in Ukraine”, recently told the New York Times that the US will “very likely” soon be fighting a three-front war with China, Russia and Iran.<br>In some respects, the geopolitical mood today is not so different from how it was in the 1950s, when Bilderberg was born.</p><p>Top of the agenda at the first meeting in 1954 was “the attitude towards communism and the Soviet Union”, <br>with the “strictly confidential” conference report referring repeatedly to “the communist threat”. <br>Seventy years later, at the most recent summit in Madrid, the primary threat is “Russia”, <br>which sat grimly at the foot of the conference agenda underneath “Ukraine and the world”, and “the future of warfare”.</p><p>In 1954, the alliance was facing “the emergence ofcommunist imperialism”. <br>In 2024, it’s up against what Stoltenberg calls “the emerging axis of autocrats”, headed by Russia, China and North Korea.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Stoltenberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Stoltenberg</span></a> and his successor as secretary general, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Rutte" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rutte</span></a>, were both at this summer’s Madrid meeting. <br>Joining them in the conference hall were a clutch of high-up Pentagon officials and Nato’s second most senior military leader, <br>US general <a href="https://c.im/tags/Chris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chris</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Cavoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cavoli</span></a>, the Supreme Allied Commander Europe. <br>It was Cavoli’s second conference, and he’s not the first Saceur to attend the talks: they’ve been coming along to strategise since the mid-60s.<br>Bilderberg has always had close links with the military: <br>its founders included senior members of British and American intelligence, <br>and a previous Nato leader, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Lord" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lord</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Carrington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Carrington</span></a>, chaired the group from 1990 to 1998.</p><p>Even the shamefaced resignation of its founding chair, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Prince" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Prince</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bernhard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bernhard</span></a> of the Netherlands, had a military twist: <br>he was caught up in the Lockheed bribery scandal of 1976, the only year (pre-Covid) that the conference was cancelled. <br>And it’s telling that arguably the most dominant figure at Bilderberg in the last several decades was the grand strategist and warmonger, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Henry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Henry</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Kissinger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kissinger</span></a>, who was lauded as a foreign policy genius by some and despised as a mass-murdering war criminal by others.</p><p><a

Chuck Darwin<p>Applebaum turns her gaze to Gerhard <a href="https://c.im/tags/Schr%C3%B6der" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Schröder</span></a>, German chancellor between 1998 and 2005. </p><p>Since then, he has worked for Nord Stream, Rosneft and Gazprom <br>– all Russian. </p><p>Now 80, he has chaired the shareholder committee of Nord Stream, <br>reportedly earning around $270,000 a year. </p><p>He also led the supervisory board of Nord Stream 2, now shuttered.</p><p>He is unapologetic. <br>In February 2022, after Russia invaded Ukraine, he told the New York Times: </p><p>“I don’t do mea culpa, it’s not my thing.”</p><p>Applebaum also discusses so-called “hybrid states”, <br>which she characterizes as countries that are a <br>“legitimate part of the international financial system” and possess many of the trappings of democracy <br>but that are “also willing to <a href="https://c.im/tags/launder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>launder</span></a> or accept criminal or <a href="https://c.im/tags/stolen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stolen</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/wealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wealth</span></a> or to assist people and companies that have been sanctioned”.</p><p>She points to the <a href="https://c.im/tags/United" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>United</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Arab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Arab</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Emirates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Emirates</span></a> and <a href="https://c.im/tags/Turkey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Turkey</span></a>. </p><p>“Russian property purchases in the Emirates rose 100% after the invasion of Ukraine,” she writes.</p><p>Not surprisingly, Applebaum lauds patriotism but fears nationalism and isolationism. </p><p>By such metrics, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Brexit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Brexit</span></a> was a bust.</p><p>“Did the removal of Britain from the European Union give the British more power to shape the world?” Applebaum asks.</p><p>The answer is self-evident.</p><p>“Did it prevent foreign money from shaping UK politics?”</p><p>Want a hint?
