Huffington Post: At Secretive Meeting, Tech CEOs And Top Republicans Commiserate, Plot To Stop Trump
Huffington Post ^ | 03/07/2016 | Ryan Grim,

"Billionaires, tech CEOs and top members of the Republican establishment flew to a private island resort off the coast of Georgia this weekend for the American Enterprise Institute's annual World Forum, according to sources familiar with the secretive gathering.

The main topic at the closed-to-the-press confab? How to stop Republican front-runner Donald Trump.

Apple CEO Tim Cook, Google co-founder Larry Page, Napster creator and Facebook investor Sean Parker, and Tesla Motors and SpaceX honcho Elon Musk all attended. So did Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), political guru Karl Rove, House Speaker Paul Ryan, GOP Sens. Tom Cotton (Ark.), Cory Gardner (Colo.), Tim Scott (S.C.), Rob Portman (Ohio) and Ben Sasse (Neb.), who recently made news by saying he "cannot support Donald Trump."

And once again we see them “out” themselves for who they really are.

We’ve been “played” for decades, the Elites vs the Little Guys.

Donald Trump has exposed them all, and they don’t want that light to shine on their darkness.

They JFK’d JFK, RFK, MLK, AB, AS, and so many more, some right in front of our eyes.

We have figured it out, we have broken the code. It seems like both Left and Right are fully awake and our eyes are wide open.

I fear for what they will do to the People’s Choice.

Sounds like the CEOs are worried they will no longer be able to import cheap H1B labor and instead have to hire un/underemployed Americans.

>>>>I don’t think so. People are against Trump because he is dishonest, liberal and immoral. He’s a horrible person.

So why shouldn’t people try to prevent his nomination before it’s too late.

This is all coming up now because there is still time to defeat this bozo.<<<<<

You really believe this? Then how did Obama or Clinton get elected? They weren’t horrible people? The GOP has never put this much effort into getting one conservative bill passed. THey are phonies lining their pockets with the rest of the globalists.

Cruz is a NWO Globalist & Free Mason secret society member. And BTW, he was never a US citizen. Canadian law prohibited dual citizenship at the time Cruz was born in 1970. His parents had to choose one for him & they chose Canadian. By denouncing his Canadian citizenship it seems to me he became a US Senator without a country.

Cruz was my first choice going in to this election cycle but once I read his donors on opensecrets.org and 0bama's donors for president in 2008 and both come up with Goldman-Sachs.

That just made me feel like, sigh, not again, "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" if he were elected president.

And then when Cruz joined in the Fox News debate/Romney interview ambush on Trump last week, told me when push comes to shove, Ted Cruz will side with the establishment/ power structure in DC. He really did expose himself there. I really wish Cruz would have stayed out of that fray but we all know, he didn't.

They have this meeting every year and its closed to the press. One thing I know, Trump has snitches in a lot of places.

The reporters did a good job, even linked the FlightAware flights.

Did they all show up wearing shirts with their company logos? These are some of the same folks who have no desire to see their free trade golden goo$e fly off.

>>>They also want to stop Cruz.<<<<

Maybe you are right but I see no effort in that direction. Not one attack add against him, no ‘secret’ meetings, no Romney diatribes. Zip, nada, nothing.

In fact, aren’t a couple of people on that attendee list men who have recently come out in support of Cruz ?

Trump needs to post the link to this article on Twitter. He’s got to let his less informed voters know that there’s a massive effort underway by TPTB to stop him by whatever means necessary.

He should quit Fox News for conflict of interest.

Right you are Jane, and it’s disgusting that Cruz fans can’t wrap their heads around this reality.

The list of names is a whose who, but I’m really disappointed in Cotton.

Things are really picking up speed and I haven’t been able to keep up over the last few days. I know the latest meme is Trump = hitler - and they really believe people will buy this tripe? Nevermind, I know there are those who will.

Has Cruz denounced crazy Beck yet?? Or Romney??

That information actually made me physically ill. How pathetic we’ve become, what with this glorious melting pot of 3rd world belly crawlers.

What do we expect when there is a multi-trillion dollar criminal enterprise (colluding corporate fascists and their Uniparty cohorts) being threatened by the true representative of us little people?

They will NEVER go willingly, and the People’s cold anger has reached the boiling point. Gosh, it seems like this is ramping up for an epic showdown.

When they rig each state’s vote counts (which they’ve been doing for decades) to cheat him out of what is rightfully his, God help this country!

Frankly, I don’t think the GOPe is up for that.

Much more likely is some unstable leftist who becomes unhinged with all the Trump=Hitler talk.

I’m glad Trump is wearing a vest, but Colosio was shot in the head so in that case it wouldn’t have mattered.

I cringe every time i see Trump walking thru a crowd. It reminds me of Colosio and Rabin.
