Since we have no clue whatsoever as to what is discussed in these secretive sessions (unless we trust 'leaks'), and given that these people are globalists (which isn't necessarily bad), it would be quite reasonable to hypothesize that the reason for the secrecy is that the participants would be embarrassed if what they discussed in this meeting was made public.
In other words, certain stakeholders in society would probably be quite hostile to the content of these discussions.
Still nothing too tragic, as this is pretty much the definition of politics.
A problem could arise if it could be conclusively *proven* that policy decisions are being made in Bilderberg that are then being implemented.
But then again, politicians should be free to consult with whoever they want.
If their policies are bad or ineffective we can vote them out of office.
We should be more concerned with people who have immense power over the financial system and don't answer to anyone.
To conclude: it is quite easy with some basic research to get a good glimpse of what these globalist discussions are about as some relevant information is easily found in the public domain.
Carroll Quigley was a professor of history in Harvard, Princeton and Georgetown.
Obviously anyone who would dare dismiss him as some sort of a loon would have to provide some very serious evidence, which I somehow don't think is very likely.
In his magnum opus, 'Tragedy and Hope' (1966) he wrote (page 324):
The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences.
The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations.
Each central bank sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world.
In each country, the power of the central bank rested largely on its control of credit and money supply.
In the world as a whole the power of the central bankers rested very largely on their control of loans and the gold flows. They made agreements on all the major financial problems of the world, as well as on many of the economic and political problems, especially in reference to loans, payments, and the economic future of the chief areas of the globe.
The Bank of International Settlements, B.I.S. is generally regarded as the apex of the structure of financial capitalism whose remote origins go back to the creation of the Bank of England in 1694.
