Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland just finished up in Washington, DC, after secretly rubbing elbows behind closed doors with some of the world’s most powerful policymakers and billionaires at the 2022 Bilderberg Meeting.
The controversial conference, which has a strict secrecy and no media policy, convened between June 2 and June 5 for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
On the agenda for this year are topics like “Disinformation,” “Fragmentation of Democratic Societies,” “Continuity of Government and the Economy,” “Disruption of the Global Financial System,” and “post-pandemic health.”
“The meetings are held under the Chatham House Rule, which states that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s) nor any other participant may be revealed,” a press release says.
The group has stated that the secrecy policy is a way to allow members to speak their minds freely without outside scrutiny.
