Fact check
Is it true: The Bilderberg Group?
Partly — it's more complicated than the claim suggests.
Bilderberg is a real, documented organization (bilderbergmeetings.org, attendee lists published since 2010). Attendees include heads of state, CEOs of multinational corporations, and major media figures. The secrecy (Chatham House Rule) and elite composition legitimately raise transparency concerns. However, characterizing it as a coordinating "world government" is unsupported — Bilderberg has no decision-making authority, no formal output, and its attendees represent many competing ideological and national interests. It is better understood as a private networking forum (like Davos, Bohemian Grove, Trilateral Commission).
