Bilderberg Group
The Bilderberg Group is a well-known informal and international association of influential people, meeting annually. Its name is that of the hotel in the Netherlands where the group first met in 1954. It has an office in Leiden, in the Netherlands.
The original intention of the Bilderberger group was to further understanding between Western Europe and North America through informal meetings between influential individuals. Each year, a "steering committee" devises a selected invitation list with a maximum of 100 names. The location of their annual meeting is not secret, and the agenda and list of participants are openly available to the public, but the meetings themeselves are shrouded in secrecy. Security is managed by military intelligence. Attendees talk, lobby., and try to magnify their political clout on both sides of the Atlantic but pledge absolute secrecy on what has been discussed. The idea is to enable people to speak freely without need to carefully consider how each word might be interpreted by the mass media. On the other hand, this secrecy has also made conspiracy theorists claim that the meetings have a sinister purpose.
Depending on the ideological prism applied, the Bilderberg club may be considered:
* a harmless "discussion group" of politicians, academics and business leaders
* an ultra-exclusive international lobby of the power elite of Europe and North America, capable of influencing international policy
* a capitalist secret society operating entirely through self-interest.
Attendees of Bilderberg include central bankers, defense experts, press barons, government ministers, prime ministers, royalty, international financiers and political leaders from Europe and America. Guests in 2003, along with Rumsfeld and Perle (US Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz is also a member) included banker David Rockefeller, as well as various members of the Rockefeller family, Henry Kissinger, Queen Beatrix, Queen Sofia and King Juan Carlos, and high officials of assorted governments. The Bilderberg Group is for Europeans and North Americans -- Asians, Middle Easterners, Latin Americans or Africans are not invited.

In addition to what Theron had to say about the Bilderberg Group, there have been posts about the group on ATS.
I would suggest trying out the search function near the top of this page. It is the red button in the middle between FAQ and MY ATS.
And, just for kicks, here is what wikipedia says about them:

I talk to Bilderberger´s almost every day as a part of my job, which I won´t disclose BTW. 
One of the general ideas behind the secret stuff:
-No one attending to these meetings is allowed ever to speak to anyone about what they have been discussing on these meetings.
The speakers can then speak freely, without concern of what might be said in the media afterwards.
I wonder what the penalty is for being big-mouthed after having joined a meeting...
Sweden´s foreignminister Anna Lindh which was stabbed to death in a supermarket last year was a Bilderberger.
I´m not saying that it is any connection to that and to her death...
-No one can ask to join these meetings. They have to be invited.
Only key-persons in politics and industry/media will be invited.
-Henry Kissinger...

I saw this, the ex-minister I saw was Denis Healey. One thread which mentions his name and the Bilderburg group is here.

here's a partial list of the 2004 group:
The bilderbergers are heavy hitters, no doubt, but I think to understand the importance of the membership, or "round table" groups, you need to cross reference who has membership not only in the bilderbergers, but also the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the Trilateral Commission (TC), and the DAVOS group, and a few others.
Each one of these groups is a global network, and high ranking members of two, or three of the groups are more influential in deciding global policies. To really understand the Bilderbergers, you must also understand the other round table groups, and understand the familial, fraternal, and business/banking relationships between the various members. Then you will begin to gain a picture of the alliances between groups within the groups, and begin to see the whole round table network as an extremely complicated global organism.
Here are a few individual notable heavy, heavy hitters, who belong to more than one group, and are instrumental in shaping global business, banking, and political policies.
These round table groups do not exist in a vacuum - the key members work together to orchestrate global policies and selected information is shared between groups at these meetings. Each group in and of itself would not be considered influential enough to "run the world", but by examining all these groups, their policies, their actions, and lack of representation by any of us "regular folk" at these meetings, a picture begins to emerge from the avalanche of details - a picture that looks strikingly like what many call the New World Order.
If you want links, let me know, I've got a million, but these groups are easily researchable - just google away. I think they "hide" not only behind secrecy, but behind the fact that it takes a long time researching crusty old billionaires and government / business policies and leaders to see the outline of the complete image. It's simply not very entertaining or remotely "exciting" for the average joe. It also requires dismissing a lot of what you thought you knew, and rethinking much of the history you were taught. IMO, most people are conditioned away from that level of research, unless there is a goal, graduation, or paycheck waiting at the other end. Our well conditioned short attention spans and love of immediate gratification, car chases, soap opera intrigue, and firefights are the bilderbergers best disguise. Their reward, is that they get to go party at the grove afterward.
