What do FReepers think of this organization?

Just a guess, but in that a majority seem to think of themselves as world class capitalists, they probably think very favorably of it and only wonder why their invitation keeps getting lost in the mail. ;o)

OK. Can't be too carefull when folks start asking about the Bilderbergers.


I can take 'em or leave 'em.


Welcome to Free Republic.

For a secret society bend on taking over the world they're not doing to good of a job at remaining secret and hiding their plans.

What is really sad....is that we have to specify that those are jokes.

John Edwards going to the Bilderberg meeting? But I thought he was a common man???????

He is a common man. He is going to be one of the door prizes.

[Norman Bates]

I am suspicious because this is an unelected supranational group that wields enormous amounts of money (and therefore power) and I don't think they are looking out for my best interests.

[Wallace T.]

Consider that the Bildeburgers meet at very nice facilities in really upscale places. I have yet to hear of them meeting at the Holiday Inn in Fort Stockton, Texas or at the Best Western in Rock Springs, Wyoming. And, of course, their Bildeburgers have Fuddruckers beat ninety to nothing. However, you should peel off the tin foil first!

Dr. Evil and his menagerie of villians are hard at work. However, Edwards (demoncRAT) and Mrs. Bill Gates (husband of the richest man in the US and is another demoncRAT) does make for some serious consideration of conspiracy.

But I thought he was a common man???????

You're thinking of his father, the mill worker. John Edwards's father worked in a mill. He was a mill worker. John Edwards, is therefore, the son of a mill worker.

And John Kerry served in Vietnam. :)

Dr. Evil and his menagerie of villians are hard at work.

We don't actually think of ourselves as a "menagerie." We're more of a cabal.

But we ARE watching you...

Here's one reason the global elites like to keep their meetings secret...BTW, that's a big owl they're worshipping there.

OH NO! The Burger Builders are back!

[bonfire]

Why would they invite Edwards??? He's a nobody. Truly odd. Now I know for SURE this org. is not worth all the speculation and mystique.

[Grit]

He's going to talk about the "two Bilderbergs" - the billionaires like Gates vs. the poor multi-millionaires like Edwards.

That is the funniest thing I have read in a long time. :)

--or apparently at "taking over"--

"My main problem is the secrecy. When so many people with so much power get together in one place I think we are owed an explanation of what is going on."

Sorry, chump. We don't owe you a goldang thing. By the way, your credit cards are now canceled. Have a nice day.

[RightWhale]

I think we are owed an explanation of what is going on.

What is the point of having secrets if everybody knows?
