There comes a moment in every good gangster movie when all of the villains come together in a remote hideaway to make nefarious plans. If the good guys are smart, this is the moment they swoop in and arrest everyone. In real life America, though, we consistently squander these opportunities, opting instead to sit back and gawk at the villains like a bunch of dazed paparazzi. It’s never too late to change that. ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ The Sun Valley conference is primarily known as a place where tech and media moguls gather to do a little fly fishing and strike multibillion-dollar merger deals, while various members of the financial press flit about the periphery of the resort like a bunch of tabloid hacks desperate for a snapshot of Mark Zuckerberg in the season’s latest fleece vest. More fundamentally, the conference is, like Davos, a mechanism for the concentration of wealth, dressed up as something friendlier. Here, America’s wealthiest mega-billionaires gather with the chief executive of America’s most powerful companies, the director of the CIA, and America’s most worthless pseudo-journalists (hello, Anderson Cooper) to develop the social and business connections that allow the top 0.00001% of earners to continue to accumulate a share of our nation’s wealth that already exceeds the famously cartoonish inequality of the Gilded Age of Rockefeller and Carnegie. Everything that happens at Sun Valley will contribute to the ability of attendees like Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Mike Bloomberg to increase their society-warping fortunes.

A tactical nuke would be a nice “happening.”

Pretty sure that would only effect the locals now since the confab is done. Butt, our ‘betters’ were likely deciding which crafts and trades would be needed in the remaining 500 million earthly residents that will allow them to continue living in the style they’ve become accustomed to. Now that the elimination serum is being administered to a LOT of folks. (This post may be determined to be ‘misinformation’)

This is why centralization of power — political, economic, cultural — is always bad. Spread it out, make it local, and these types can’t control it.

it is the same as it always was, and always will be.

they are wolves, you are sheep.

you may say the wolves have mental illness, and why can’t we all get along, but it is their nature to do what they are doing.

The wolves might say there are way too many sheep, and we have the right to eat and be happy too.

This is a Guardian hit piece

Everyone there is not a Jewish or Goyim Protocols conspiracy to dominate the world and get richer

The founder is long dead no...his son is still alive.....81.....

Few industrialists there now

Mostly tech and media which is why it’s so leftist

These folks mostly are just bureaucrat caretakers of business with some exceptions like Musk and Hastings and other founders....

Is this the new location of creatures emerging to destroy?

The last one came from Jekyll Island.

This is the wondrous model of American capitalism in action – a tiny handful of wealthy people eat cake, and an entire nation gathers downstream, hoping to snatch up a few falling crumbs.

Idiot. This is an imperial model, many times older than the United States and depressingly regular in its appearance. The author is an American - his British publishers must have giggled when they read this. What this meeting most reminds me of is any of a dozen such meetings among the closely-related international ruling classes in Europe during the last decade leading up to World War One. This one, for example:

Nine kings in that one. No Americans in sight. And yes, one might say that they changed the world. What fell afterwards were the Romanov, Hohenzollern, Wittelsbach, Wettin, Ottoman, and Habsburg dynasties.

Yeah, I should have found a different source. People can’t ignore the source and a little of the content and just take what they can get from it. Everyone and every written word must be 100% which of course is subjective. Hence conservatives losing all the time.

Bill Gates was at this little gathering of leftist billionaires. He and his father were both chummy with David Rockefeller Sr and Jr. They had a common interest of accumulating wealth, power and world influence and also eugenics. This is just a new generation of the elite power players.
