You don’t have to indulge in any conspiracy theories to find it interesting who got invited to this year’s Bilderberg Group meeting underway in Lisbon. The meetings are secret, with no notes or recordings taken of formal sessions (unlike the WEF), but participants are allowed to talk about what went on so long as they don’t attribute views to anyone – the so-called Chatham House rules.

Ben Bartee of PJ Media describes the group:

The group bills itself as “an annual conference designed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America. Every year, between 120-140 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, labour, academia, and the media are invited to take part in the Meeting. About two-thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from North America; approximately a quarter from politics and government and the rest from other fields.”

It is thus a smaller, less global (Europe and North America only) and more secretive gathering than the WEF. In its secrecy, it resembles the Bohemian Grove gatherings in California, but far more buttoned down than the rustic setting permits. There is an overlap among the attendees at the elite gatherings, so there is no point in identifying one or another of them as the locus of some global conspiracy.

Below is a 2018 chart of attendees of that year's meeting done by Frank Zweers, which he titles "The eye of evil." It is hard to make out all the names of coroprations, but it does give a sense of the institutional reach of the attendees:
