We invite you to read this interesting article written by our friend Josh Friedman (who, like us, has been following the activities of the #Bilderberg Group for many years), entitled "Necessity and Innovation in Wartime Ukraine", which is reminiscent of the discussions that have taken place in recent years at the Bilderberg Conferences on the "Future of Warfare". NECESSITY AND INNOVATION IN WARTIME UKRAINE "More than four years into Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine, battlefield pressures are driving rapid technological change and transforming Ukraine into a military power, from which countries including the United States can learn crucial lessons. While Ukraine has largely halted Russia’s advance on the battlefield so far this year — and even recaptured territory at times — pain and suffering are still evident around the country, particularly in frontline regions, as well as in cities that get pounded by Russian missiles and drones on a regular basis. Over the past month, as CalCoastNews has visited Ukraine, civilians have been killed in ways ranging from direct missile impact on apartment blocks to targeted drone strikes on pedestrians and vehicles, the latter being part of an ongoing “human safari” in the southeastern city of Kherson..." calcoastnews.com/2026/06/nec… bilderbergmeetings.org/meeti… @FreeManReporter As a reminder, Josh Friedman was the only journalist to cover the entire 2022 Bilderberg Conference in Washington, D.C. He granted us an interview the following year in which he recounted this unique experience. To listen: youtube.com/watch?v=sHvolvll…
Necessity has driven innovation in Ukraine’s warfighting capabilities. U.S. and western officials now have a lot to learn from Ukraine’s progress on the battlefield and in drone warfare.

Blackwater founder Erik Prince said at the Black Sea Security Forum that the nature of warfare has truly changed, Ukraine is on that cutting edge, and he is a big fan of all that Ukraine has to offer.

For the record, the President of the Eurogroup, Kyriakos Pierrakakis, took part in his official capacity at the 72nd #Bilderberg Conference, which took place at the Salamander Hotel in Washington D.C. from April 9 to 12, 2026. PRESIDENT OF THE EUROGROUP, KYRIAKOS PIERRAKAKIS, TRAVELS TO FRANCE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE G7 FINANCE MINISTERS AND CENTRAL BANK GOVERNORS MEETING Eurogroup President Kyriakos Pierrakakis will travel to France to participate in the G7 meeting of Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors which takes place on 18-19 May in Paris (...). Speaking ahead of his participation in the meeting, Minister Pierrakakis said: "The situation in the Middle East highlights just how exposed our interconnected economies are to external shocks. The current economic challenges constitute global challenges. In this context, the G7 finance ministers meeting offers an important opportunity for the European Union to engage in dialogue with its international partners and find joint solutions that benefit the global economy. Opening the Strait of Hormuz and bringing the conflict to a lasting end are of the utmost importance in mitigating the impact on the economy. The European economy has proven resilient in the face of this energy crisis. Yet, the global economy will feel the pressure – even if the conflict is resolved swiftly. Global macroeconomic imbalances must be viewed in a broader context. The EU’s agenda to deepen our capital markets and make the European economy more investible will contribute to more sustainable levels of macroeconomic imbalances. However, reducing the imbalances is a shared responsibility of all major economic regions." consilium.europa.eu/en/press… bilderbergmeetings.org/meeti… Photo: @FreeManReporter

U.S. Army Secretary Driscoll: Ukraine's Delta common operating system, their modular open system architecture command and control system, is absolutely incredible. It fully integrates every single drone, sensor, and shooting platform into just one single network. Ours does not.

Gestern habe ich mit @PalantirTech-CEO Alex Karp gesprochen. Er wunderte sich über den deutschen Umgang mit seiner Firma, die er mit Peter Thiel gegründet hat und sagte: „Peter und ich sind mit Abstand die prominentesten deutschen und/oder deutschsprachigen Geschäftsleute der Welt (...) Wenn wir Franzosen wären, hätten die Franzosen uns gezwungen, französische Pässe zu haben, nur Französisch zu sprechen und unseren Namen in ‘Falantir’ zu ändern.“ Derweil spreche man in Deutschland über Palantir als ginge es um „Hexerei“.

Future of warfare unfolding in Ukraine
Implementing AI in warfare alongside @PalantirTech @louismosley is a strategic leap for Ukraine. It was a privilege to host Alex Karp in Kyiv—a leader who personally stood with us since 2022. Today, our partnership is defined by tangible results: from advanced air attack analysis and AI-driven intelligence processing to precision deep strike planning. By integrating Palantir’s world-class solutions—trusted by NATO and valued at over $330 billion—we are securing a technological edge that protects our skies and dismantles the enemy's potential. Thank you to Alex and the entire Palantir team for their unwavering support and commitment to our victory.

#BILDERBERG MEETING 2026 Some of my followers pointed out that two other Dutch nationals participated in the 72nd Bilderberg Conference, which took place at the Salamander Hotel in Washington, D.C., from April 9 to 12, 2026, in addition to those mentioned in the post below. These were NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and his Chief of Staff, Geoffrey van Leeuwen. That's correct, and I thank them for it. However, it's worth noting that they attended the meeting as international guests, not as Dutch citizens. Both had previously attended the 2025 Bilderberg Conference together in Stockholm (see below). Before that, Mark Rutte had already participated in 10 such meetings when he was Prime Minister of the Netherlands. bilderbergmeetings.org/meeti… bilderbergmeetings.org/meeti…
#BILDERBERG MEETING 2026 Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten posted this selfie on his Instagram account, taken with former Deputy Prime Minister Sigrid Kaag (currently Co-Chair of the Board of Directors of the United Nations Foundation) in front of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial. They were in Washington, D.C., to attend the 72nd Bilderberg Conference, which took place at the Salamander Hotel from April 9 to 12, 2026. The photo was clearly taken from the hotel's terrace. Other Dutch dignitaries present included: - King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands - Roy Jakobs, President and CEO of Royal Philips - Rolly van Rappard, Co-Founder and Chair of CVC Capital Partners and the Netherlands' representative on the Bilderberg Steering Committee. bilderbergmeetings.org/meeti… bilderbergmeetings.org/backg… instagram.com/jettenrob/

#BILDERBERG MEETING 2026 Some of my followers rightly pointed out that the selfie of Rob Jetten and Sigrid Kaag couldn't have been taken from the terrace of the Salamander Hotel, but rather from the Ohio Drive Bridge. I thank them for their clarification. Nevertheless, it was taken during the 72nd Bilderberg Conference. This gives me the opportunity to specify that this was Ms. Kaag's fifth such meeting. She attended four Bilderberg Meetings between 2018 and 2024, as Dutch Minister of Foreign Trade, Minister of Finance and Deputy Prime Minister of the Netherlands, and UN Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza. Below, upon her arrival in Lisbon for the 2023 Bilderberg Conference, when she was Minister of Finance and Deputy Prime Minister, accompanied by the then Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Mark Rutte, who has since become Secretary General of NATO. bilderbergmeetings.org bilderbergmeetings.org/meeti…
