The society, which consists of leaders in politics, industry, academia and the military, has selected former NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg to chair its ‘steering committee.’

Founded in 1954, the Bilderberg group has long drawn fascination for its clandestine meetings at exclusive hotels and alpine resorts where attendees hold discussions on international relations, economics and security.

Heads of the CIA and MI6 have been among its members, while Henry Kissinger was a regular alongside the likes of Bill Clinton, Bill Gates and then-Prince Charles. …

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.

Stoltenberg’s tenure at NATO was dominated by the Russia-Ukraine conflict and he proudly claimed to have overseen ‘the largest reinforcement of our collective defense in a generation.’

Many of his Bilderberg colleagues have benefited from this increased defense spending. Among them is Trump insider Peter Thiel, boss of AI giant Palantir, whose technology has been used by Ukraine in the fight against Putin.

Stoltenberg last month warned that Trump’s ‘campaign rhetoric had raised legitimate concerns about his commitment to European security.’

But the new Bilderberg boss can rest assured that if things get sticky, he now has a direct line to Trump in the form of Thiel, who has been one of the president-elect’s biggest backers. …

Stoltenberg may seek to harness the media to help shift the Bilderberg Group’s strategy. The secretive society tends to avoid any interaction with the press and keeps the details of its meetings secret.

But Stoltenberg is no stranger to dealing with the media and among the new members are Silicon Valley billionaires like Thiel who are more at ease with public speaking.

Stoltenberg will co-chair the steering committee alongside Canadian-American economist, philanthropist, Marie-Josée Kravis who sits on the board of Publicis, one of the world’s largest PR and communications companies. …

This cabal of the global, largely liberal, elite — with strong ties to the EU — meets every year amid a cloak of secrecy, but Stoltenberg’s appointment as co-chair also reflects the group’s strategic realignment amid rising geopolitical tensions.

Having overseen NATO’s largest defense reinforcement in a generation, Stoltenberg is no stranger to Bilderberg, participating in meetings since 2002.

His tenure as NATO chief was dominated by the Russia-Ukraine conflict and increasing NATO expansion, making him a natural choice to steer Bilderberg’s discussions on transatlantic defense.

Meanwhile, Thiel’s growing influence at Bilderberg also signals a convergence of tech innovation and military strategy. …

Thiel’s ideological alignment with Trump and his tech-driven contributions to defense provide a modern reflection of Bilderberg’s founding ethos – melding elite influence with geopolitical strategy.

Stoltenberg’s leadership, coupled with Thiel’s outsized influence, points to a Bilderberg Group increasingly intertwined with military innovation and political strategy. …

The Bilderberg Group — so called because it first met in 1954 at the Hotel Bilderberg in the Netherlands — is made up of at least 120 self-proclaimed ‘leading citizens’ of Europe and the U.S., who meet annually to discuss ‘issues of common interest’. …

With Trump set to return to the White House, Thiel’s network within Bilderberg is poised to bridge the gap between the administration’s nationalist priorities and the group’s transatlantic objectives.

As Stoltenberg seeks to reinforce NATO and transatlantic ties under potential strain from Trump’s policies, Thiel’s strategic position appears to be critical. …
