Finally (maybe) I found a link to post info about the latest build-a-bear meeting. Some of the comments at the end of the article are quite (to me) interesting. Some of the attendees on the list are interesting as well. WTH? Armed security in GB? For the "well heeled", nothing is too good. After all, they ARE extremely important. In their own minds anyway. And they have the $$$$ to prove in. Shut up peons. You're dismissed..................

...a £300-a-night golf hotel...

That's less than $500 US. There are hotels in Des Moines that charge that much!

What I don’t understand is the idea that powerful/influential people wouldn’t want to meet one another and try thereby to influence other powerful influential people.

What, in other words is surprising about this? In my town the Rotary Club amounts to the same thing. Is it a conspiracy, or is it really just networking?

True. In our little county there is the “Inns of Court.” I have been asked why I don’t campaign for an invitation. It’s named after a judge who killed his wife and then shot himself. Somehow that seems creepy to me.

Google attends these meetings...massive surveillance of Internet , personal data may be part of this. Amazon is also there.

When there’s that much wealth and influence discussing how they can “make us better”, I get a little suspicious. Maybe it’s just me. If it’s all innocent, why the fence and armed security? I guess to keep out the riff raff and peons.

Geithner, Goldman Sachs, Kissinger,Google ....attending

Kissinger recently gave a speech advocating United States and China collaborate on a new global order.

If there was ever a place for a MOAB to be dropped...

I have heard that the Bilderbergers are the ones who decide who the next U.S. president will be.

In 2008, both Hillary and Obama secretly attended the Bilderberg meetings in Virginia right before the Dem convention. Afterward, Hillary suspended her campaign and let Obama take the nomination without any challenge.

Mmmm, that just gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling eh? Yes yes, just a few blokes getting together for a pint, nothing to see here mate!

Hehe, I love conspiracy theories. I hope to check back later assuming the thread is still up...(spooky music cue...)

[Sam Gamgee]

Aren't these the people who conspired to take down Bear Stearns and bear raids on commodity markets?

[babble-on]

Maybe the general “betray us” label was correct after all.

That’s an interesting link ya got there.

Wonder what precipitated his ousting from the CIA. And replacement with a muslim.

Maybe they made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.

Let's see, a bunch of wealthy and powerful people decide to get together, in secret, to make plans and come to agreements. But that does not constitute a conspiracy.

Right. Got it.

Only tea partiers are conspirarists. LOL!
