Again, as we have done in the past, we draw attention to the secret meeting in Sea Island Georgia in 2016 when the billionaire vested participants gathered with the political class to discuss how they could stop candidate Donald J Trump.

2016 -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. (The meeting was not planned to be a strategy session on how to stop the GOP front-runner, but rather evolved into one, as a subsequently obtained agenda makes clear.)

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.”

Along with Ryan, the House was represented by Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Fred Upton (Mich.), Rep. Kevin Brady (Texas) and almost-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), sources said, along with leadership figure Cathy McMorris Rodgers (Wash.), Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-Ga.), Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (Texas) and Diane Black (Tenn.).

Philip Anschutz, the billionaire GOP donor whose company owns a stake in Sea Island, was also there, along with Democratic Rep. John Delaney, who represents Maryland. Arthur Sulzberger, the publisher of The New York Times, was there, too, a Times spokeswoman confirmed.

“A specter was haunting the World Forum—the specter of Donald Trump,” (read more)

Pay attention to the voices now shouting opposition to President Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Treaty and you will identify those same oppositional voices who assembled in all economic matters prior to this moment in 2017. Their vested interests center around the economics, not “the climate”.

Affirmation of the #ParisAgreement is not only about the climate: It is also about America remaining the global leader.

That’s what has them upset...show me the money!

The Obama giveaway income redistribution schemes have to stop. No more giveaways. No more grants. No more free money.

It will take a while to put a halt to all of this but I hope Trump hires some of his CEO, CFO Management type friends to form a special committee to cut the crap. Trillions could be saved and taxes decreased.

Income redistribution is theft of our hard earned tax dollars. A big second look at all the foreign aid too.

The article may be incorrect. The Green Climate Fund’s web site shows which nations have made pledges AND which nations have already disbursed monetary contributions to the Climate Green Fund:

Fantastic piece!

I fear for President Trump’s safety.

[enduserindy]

I heard Bloomberg said he’ll pay the US cost personally. Can’t wait to see what he says about the 3 billion loss instead of 15 million.

It's time for Europe to stand on Its own!

The Europeans have been living on the backs of US taxpayers since 1941.

How many trillions of dollars have been spent supporting Europe in different ways over that time?
The amount is so huge and hidden in so many ways that it is damn near uncountable

There would not be a NATO without the US taxpayer.
There would not be a United Nations without the US taxpayer.
Europeans would all be speaking German or living under the rule of the old USSR if it wasn't for the US taxpayer.

Now they look down their inbred noses at us and our president.

I can't believe I actually voted for this schmuck.

(But please forgive me. The alternative was Barack Hussein Obama.)

Did the Ryan Congress authorize the giveaway?

Since this was not a treat, it had no force of law!

I bet Obama got a couple of per cent kickback from this deal. Prove it, seize it, convict him and imprison him for the rest of his unnatural life.

[Chode]

[Nateman]

Not only was none of the billion authorized by Congress but 500 million of it was sent out 3 days before Trump swore in. How much kickback did Zero and his stooges get of that?

[gogeo]

Let Mitt be the lemming leader if he so chooses.

We have no sane reason to follow.

[Veto!]

Spent hours today looking for this info. Thx so much. If you have a ping list, please put me on it

Bump for later read

Great article.

Fox News Insider has an article on this also.

People need to be aware of this.
