Terwijl in de Beierse Alpen onder maximaal publicitair spervuur de zogenaamd machtigste van de aarden bijeen waren, verzamelden zich in de Oostenrijkse Alpen een minstens zo illuster gezelschap onder minimale media aandacht: de Bilderberg-conferentie. Bedacht door de meester van het complot en de illegaliteit, prins Bernhard. Drie zittende premiers zijn aanwezig, waaronder die van ons. Meerdere ministers van financiën, waaronder die van ons, ex-staatshoofden, waaronder dat van ons, de baas van de NAVO, minstens één lid van de directie van de ECB en een heleboel bankiers en industriëlen, de baas van de Shell, bijvoorbeeld. Jaarlijks verzekeren de organisatoren ons dat het er weinig toe doet wat er wordt besproken en jaarlijks stromen drukbezette topmensen van overal samen. Het zal onder meer gaan over Griekenland en vluchtelingen. De deelnemerslijst:
