Some of them said fascinating things.. others essentially blew us off- speaking in generalizations, talking about the weather, and contradicting each other at times.

Our first enounter in this video is with
Klaas Knot ( President of Dutch National Bank )

Approaching him, I complimented his jacket, inspiring a big smile.

Me: What are you most looking forward to at Bilderberg?

Klaas said interesting discussion, exchanges of view, and if it helps to lower the international boundaries- that would be a most welcome development

He also said there is no conflict of interest @ Bilderberg and he wouldn’t be making any statements after the conference, because that’s not the nature of the event.

The next Berg was approached with a jacket compliment too & gave another big smile
