Bilderberg 2026: Washington D.C., April 10-12
By Mark Anderson
https://americanfreepress.net/bilderberg-2026-washington-d-c-april-10-12/
A recent press release from the head of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) may have inadvertently disclosed that the annual Bilderberg gathering will be taking place in Washington, D.C., over the weekend of April 10-12—nearly two months before this gathering of the world’s elites normally meets.
https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/richieallen/episodes/2026-04-07T11_15_55-07_00
Bilderberg, which has traditionally met in recent decades for three to four consecutive days between mid-May and mid-June, apparently will meet this year at the Salamander Hotel, formerly the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, at 1330 Maryland Avenue SW, along the Potomac River.
Last year, this bevy of globalists met in Stockholm, Sweden in mid-June.
This hyper-exclusive, collusive and secretive meeting of bank bosses, upper-tier CEOs, former and current politicians, past and present finance officials, sold-out collaborative media figures, Silicon Valley technocrats, Dutch royalty, select military figures, key think-tank wonks and other high-flyers typically kicks off on a Thursday, meaning that it was set to begin April 9, a day before Rutte’s arrival.
Notably, the June 2022 Bilderberg Meeting was held at the Salamander Hotel, as was the Trilateral Commission’s regional North American meetings in April of 2014, and April of 2025.
The press release by the military alliance’s secretary general, Mark Rutte, dated April 3, briefly and matter-of-factly noted: “From 10 to 12 April, the Secretary General [Rutte] will attend the Bilderberg Meeting.”
Rutte’s planned attendance at Bilderberg, the 72nd such meeting since 1954, was announced along with news of his plans to meet April 8 with President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Mark Rubio, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to engage in a discussion on April 9 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation Institute. He also was asked to speak there.
This appears to be the first time that NATO took it upon itself to announce a Bilderberg meeting prior to an official online announcement by Bilderberg’s obscure media-relations unit, which only communicates by email, lists no personnel, posts no phone numbers, but evidently is based in the Netherlands, where Rutte served as prime minister for a record 14 years from 2010 until mid-2024. Rutte attended Bilderberg for most or all of those years and has continued to do so as NATO chief.
While various factors are at play regarding this early Bilderberg meeting, it comes as Trump continues to make especially dramatic overtures about the U.S. withdrawing from NATO, even though Trump, achieving a longtime goal of his, convinced NATO member states to pay more of their own membership costs, with no significant pushback from Rutte.
Trump calls the alliance—which was born in 1949 and has been involved in Bilderberg practically since that elite grouping was founded in 1954—a “paper tiger” and a “one-way street” while bemoaning that NATO members appear reluctant to assist the U.S. in the war in Iran.
Article 5 of the NATO treaty, which represents the sum and substance of NATO’s credo, calls for members to come to each other’s aid when attacked—in essence, all for one and one for all. But since Iran never initiated an attack against any country, and has only fired munitions in response to attacks from Israel and the U.S., Article 5 would not apply.
At the time of this writing, the official Bilderberg media department had not yet released the usual list of approximately a dozen meeting topics and 130-140 attendees, mainly from Europe and North America.
NATO itself is often a topic, including in 2022 when the Bilderbergers last met in the nation’s capital. They also met in the Washington area, in Chantilly, Va. in 2008, 2012 and 2017 under presidents Bush, Obama and Trump “45.”
Trump has sent representatives to all the Bilderberg meetings that have been held during his past and current terms in office, though some speculate he is not altogether an ally of Bilderberg.
Longtime AFP “Bilderberg sleuth” reporter Jim Tucker, with whom this writer covered Bilderberg for several years, referred to the elite annual gathering as being emblematic of illicit and conspiratorial global control of the world economy and governments—hidden in plain sight and too often downplayed or ignored by major media.
Yet, certain media organs like The New York Times and The Washington Post have taken part in the Bilderberg meetings, rather than objectively covering them.
Center For Biological Diversity: Fighting Back One Case At A Time
April 7, 2026, 9:54 p.m.
With all the havoc the Trump administration is currently wreaking on humanity, it’s easy to forget the threat this reign of terror poses for wildlife, as well. Luckily, there are still many people fighting the good fight to protect vulnerable flora and fauna. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with Ryan Shannon, a Senior Attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity. We discuss the landmark case he helped argue to protect four key Endangered Species Act provisions that the Trump administration had weakened, examine the potential impact of the court's ruling, and learn about a separate case where this administration’s “God Squad” is endangering whales under the guise of national security.

TWIP-260405

So here we are, standing in a moment where the news about Palestine is fading from the headlines, even though the genocide has not stopped for a single day. The suffering continues, the destruction continues, the displacement continues, but the media has succeeded in shifting the world’s attention somewhere else. They’ve redirected the spotlight, and now the entire national conversation revolves around Trump, his statements, his decisions, and his war with Iran, a war that, in my view, he is losing, and a war that is draining the hardest earned savings of ordinary Americans.
Trump believed he could strike Iran and declare victory within twenty four hours.
My argument is that he miscalculated, badly.
And now, what’s coming next is even worse.
Because the power balance is shifting.
Not slowly.
Not quietly.
But unmistakably.
We see the center of global influence moving away from the United States and toward the East, toward China and Russia. And they are watching all of this unfold with a kind of silent amusement. They are observing every announcement, every escalation, every misstep. They are watching the United States burn political capital, economic stability, and global credibility, and they are benefiting from every moment of it.
Trump’s daily statements feel chaotic, contradictory, and disconnected from reality.
This is a president who, in my view, is not only embarrassing himself, but dragging the country’s reputation down with him.
This is a leader whose words no longer reassure, no longer stabilize, no longer inspire confidence.
And we ask directly and unapologetically:
“Mr. President, can you say just one useful sentence? Just one.”
Because from my perspective, he does not represent me as an American.
I feel he was forced upon the country.
I feel his decisions have consequences that ordinary people, not politicians, are forced to live with.
I feel the nation is being pulled into conflicts it did not choose, paying for wars it did not approve, and suffering the fallout of choices made without accountability.
Meanwhile, the story of Palestine, the story that should never leave the world’s conscience, is being pushed aside.
Not because the suffering ended.
Not because justice was served.
But because the media found a new spectacle to chase.
And that is the tragedy within the tragedy:
A genocide continues in the shadows while the world argues over political theater.
I ask you, the listeners, to recognize the pattern.
To see how quickly the narrative shifts.
To understand how easily the truth can be buried under noise.
And to stay awake, even when the headlines try to lull the world back to sleep.
Because in my view, and in the view of many others, the consequences of these decisions, the wars, spending, the shifting alliances, the global power struggle, will not be felt by the wealthy or the powerful.
They will be felt by ordinary people.
By families.
By workers.
By communities already stretched thin.
So:
Let’s pay attention.
Let’s stay awake.
Let’s not allow the truth to be buried.
Let’s not allow the suffering of Palestinians to be erased.
And let’s not pretend that the decisions made today won’t shape the world we wake up to tomorrow.
This is my message.
This is our voice.
Our urgency.
Our warning.
And it lands with weight.
This is This Week in Palestine.
The end of Israeli superiority

Professor Guy McPherson- "Abrupt Climate Change" Part 1
April 3, 2026, 3:50 p.m.
Drastic consequences to life as we know it, here on Mother Earth are the topics of this, the first of a two part series on abrupt climate change. Once again we visit with Guy McPherson, a Professor Emeritus of Natural Resources, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Arizona.
McPherson discusses how global warming is affecting climate change. He explains the physics of what will occur when the polar ice cap has melted ending its ability to reflect the heat of the sun. Instead the heat of the sun will be absorbed by the world’s oceans. McPherson predicts that could well occur by 2022 or sooner, causing the temperature of the oceans to increase. McPherson argues that this temperature will result in the loss of the “planetary air-conditioner” and the loss of habitat for human species.
Professor Guy McPherson and I visited by phone while he was on a speaking tour, on August 12, 2018. We began our conversation when I asked his to describe the current state of climate change, now in 2018.
Professor Guy McPherson’s website is: https://guymcpherson.com/
Information about abrupt climate change may be found here, as explained by the President of Finland to the President of the United States: https://finlandtoday.fi/president-niinisto-in-north-russia-if-we-lose-the-arctic-we-lose-the-world/
