Bilderberg meeting will be taking place on the hotel/island at
Stenungsund near Gothenburg on 24-27th May this year. We will only know for sure when the security services turn up to sweep the hotel and the black
Mercedes cars with the characteristic 'B' on the front windscreen begin to arrive.
This conference venue is likely to become a no-go zone within Sweden as foreign marksmen seal the entire island off from scrutiny of press and
public.
Could it be that in this Bilderberg fortress the agenda, and even main decisions for the EU summit in Gothenburg three weeks later (14-17 June)
will be decided? There will be a counter-summit conference taking place in Gothenburg over the same June dates where I hope this will be discussed as
an unacceptable possibility.
