file: bilderberg_group_idents.txt init: Sep 8 2018 Rob Rutten Deil last: Jun 11 2020 Rob Rutten Deil The Bilderberg Study Week was held at the initiative of Kees de Jager in April 1967 in Hotel De Bilderberg near Arnhem in The Netherlands. The hotel became famous through "Bilderberg" meetings since the first one there in 1954, initiated by Dutch Prince Bernhard. They became annual (excepting 1976 when Lockheed's bribe of 1.1 M$ to Bernhard surfaced). Wikipedia comments: "Various popular conspiracy theories describe the Bilderbergers as the most powerful group of men in the history of the planet". The group shown here does not qualify as such, but did constitute a gathering of productive solar physicists. Front row, left to right: Jean-Claude Pecker, John T. Jefferies, Carla E.
