Miasto Watford w brytyjskim hrabstwie Hertfordshire stało się teraz najważniejszym miastem świata. Właśnie trwa tam spotkanie tajnej organizacji zwanej Grupą Bilderberg. Jest to nieoficjalny rząd światowy. Spotykają się delegaci krajów oraz wielkiego biznesu włącznie z bankami i z koncernami zbrojeniowymi. Polskę po raz drugi z rzędu reprezentuje wicepremier i minister finansów Jacek Rostowski.

 

Doroczne spotkanie wpływowej organizacji, o której nie chcą mówic media trudno jest już utrzymywać w tajemnicy. Zwłaszcza, że sparaliżowano ze względów bezpieczeństwa, sporą część okolic Watford gdzie się ono odbywa. Uzbrojeni ochroniarze nie dopuszczają nikogo i w celu lepszej kontroli sytuacji zbudowano nawet specjalne ogrodzenia. Tegoroczne spotkanie odbywa się w hotelu Grove i potrwa od 6 do 9 czerwca 2013. Spotka się 140 delegatów z 21 krajów świata, którzy będą dyskutować o następujących tematach:

 

• Czy USA i Europa może się rozwijać szybciej tworząc miejsca pracy?
• Praca, uprawnienia a dług
• Jak duże ilości danych zmieniają niemal wszystko
• Nacjonalizm i populizm
• Amerykańska polityka zagraniczna
• Wyzwania płynące z Afryki
• Cyberataki i zapobieganie asymetrycznym zagrożeniom
• Główne trendy w medycynie światowej
• Edukacja online, obiecująca metoda i jej wpływ
• Polityka Unii Europejskiej
• Rozwój wypadków na Bliskim Wschodzie
• Sprawy bieżące

 

Ciekawe czy media elektroniczne takie jak telewizja zauważą, że trwa tam ustalanie ważnych spraw, które będą miały na nas wpływ w przyszłości. Brytyjskie media musiały to dostrzec i dostrzegły. Większość doniesień na temat tego spotkania można przeczytać właśnie w lokalnych gazetach. Aby uzmysłowić sobie kto tam się spotyka załączamy listę uczestników w wersji oryginalnej. Ciekawsze nazwiska zostały wytłuszczone.
