The geopolitical pivot of Russia and China away from the West was the main focus of this year’s meeting of the Bilderberg Group, which ended June 5. But perhaps more riveting was the fact that it discussed a potential financial meltdown – specifically, how to ensure the continuity of the government amid economic upheavals.
The Bilderberg Group, a secretive organization established in 1954, was created to foster dialogue between Europe and North America. Every few years, around 120 to 140 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, labor, academia and media are invited to take part in the meeting, two-thirds of which come from Europe. Of these numbers, about a quarter come from politics and government, while the rest come from other fields.
Typically, the group meets in Chantilly, Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C., but they kept the actual location secret this year. However, in its public list of attendees, this year’s meeting included the likes of Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and CIA Director William J. Burns.
Global banking and financial industries were also represented at the meeting, while former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who courted controversy by suggesting Ukraine should cede territory to end its war with Russia, was also in attendance. (Related: Peoples’ Court to prosecute WEF-controlled globalists who used the pandemic to commit crimes against humanity.)
Ukraine was also listed as the last topic of discussion at the meeting. The overall geopolitical realignment and its resulting economic repercussions were given far more importance.
In its press release, the group stated that the meeting is a forum for informal discussions about major issues. “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,” it said.
Coffee the Christian way: Promised Grounds
Due to the private nature of the meeting, participants took part as individuals and not in their official capacity, so they were not bound by the conventions of their office by pre-agreed positions. There was also no detailed agenda, no proposed resolutions, no votes taken and no policy statements issued.
This year’s meeting first since pandemic
The last time the Bilderberg Group met face to face was in 2019, with the conference kicking off with optimistic topics such as “A Stable Strategic Order” and “What’s Next for Europe?”
This year, chaos and crisis dominated the agenda, with the top schedule showing “Global Realignments” and “NATO Challenges.”
The other scheduled topics were “China,” “Indo-Pacific Realignment,” “Sino-U.S. Tech Competition,” “Russia,” “Continuity of Government and the Economy,” “Disruption of the Global Financial System,” “Disinformation,” “Energy Security and Sustainability,” “Post Pandemic Health,” “Fragmentation of Democratic Societies,” “Trade and Deglobalization” and “Ukraine.”
The Washington conference is a high-level council of war, headlined by the Secretary-General of NATO Jens Stoltenberg. He’s also joined by the Ukrainian Ambassador to the U.S. Oksana Markarova and the CEO of the state-owned Ukrainian oil and gas company Naftogaz.
The summit also discussed items with experts in Russia and Ukraine, including the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs Celeste Wallander and ex-Deputy National Security Adviser Nadia Schadlow.
There were also video screens for those in virtual attendance, such as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. A few days before the beginning of the meeting, Zelensky met up with a Bilderberg and U.S. intelligence representative Alex Karp, who also runs the infamous CIA-funded surveillance and data analysis company, Palantir. (Related: How two corrupt pharma companies are cashing in on monkeypox scare.)
Set up by Bilderberg insider Peter Thiel, Palantir has agreed to give “digital support” to the Ukrainian army, as per the country’s deputy prime minister.
While Bilderberg is sometimes dismissed as a talking shop for conspiracy theorists, it is actually a major diplomatic summit that has been attended by extremely senior transatlantic politicians, such as the U.S. secretary of commerce and the president of the European council.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
