Good evening everyone and welcome to the Worldview Report. I’m Brannon Howse. The geopolitical pivot of Russia and China away from the West was the main focus of this year’s meeting in Washington, D.C., of the secretive Bilderberg Group, which ended June 5. But even more provocative was that the Bilderbergers discussed a potential financial meltdown – specifically, how to ensure the continuity of the government amid economic upheavals, according to an article by Mary Villareal in the NOQ Report. 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, including the media.
