The annual meeting of the Bilderberg Group is underway in Chantilly, Virginia, and one of their special guests has the underground media scratching their heads.

The group, which is well known both for their secrecy and their immense wealth, meets annually to purportedly discuss world events and global policy. The affair, which takes place behind closed doors and within a cocoon of intense security, has been the subject of innumerable theories and wild allegations, for better or for worse.

This year’s meeting, however, stands to be a bit different and a little spooky, as CERN scientists are in attendance.

CERN, as some of you may know, is the scientific organization doing work at the Large Hadron Particle Collider in Europe. The experiments taking place within the enormous device have been fodder for conspiracy theorists and theoretical physicists since the LHC’s conception. Many believe that real damage could be done to our planet by forcing subatomic particles to collide at such enormous rates of speed, while others find a more spiritual concern with the so called “building blocks” of the universe being laid to waste in order to collect data.

Either way, the confluence of these two organizations has caused concern for many.

“The top brass of CERN, which operates the the largest particle collider in the world, is attending Bilderberg this year, rekindling fears CERN will cause unfathomable changes to human civilization and may even lead to parallel dimensions.

“Fabiola Gianotti, the Director General of CERN, is an unusual participant at the elitist meeting known mainly for shaping geopolitical events, but CERN does have a strange relationship with the elite – and its collider has been criticized for harnessing too much power humanity can handle.

“The collider reportedly generates a magnetic field 100,000 times more powerful than that of Earth’s, a concern because human and animal biology, particularly the pineal gland, interacts with the Earth’s magnetic field.”

CERN was recently chastised for a tasteless joke in which they insulted those concerned with the experiments’ intentions by holding a mock human sacrifice via webcam. While the scientists claim that they were simply making a joke regarding the theories surrounding their work, the humor was lost on many who believe that the LHC is an abomination to our worldly abilities.
