Dear Norman,
I hate to be the one who breaks it to you, but there are millions of "clandestine meetings" taking place across the world every day! Some of those meetings involve billions of dollars!
I know. I've attended some of them. I attended one of them today.
It's called "private enterprise." And history shows it's a hell of a lot better than the alternative.
History also shows that if the Bilderbergers get too far along in their plot to secure world domination, the "What-A-Burgers" will come along and compete by offering a more benign form of benevolent dictatorship.
The point is, even though your butcher (think Tyson Foods), your baker (Archer Daniels Midland, for example), and your brewer (choose one, Busch, Coors, Schlitz, among many others) DO pool together billions of dollars and have clandestine meetings, you don't miss a meal due to lack of available food!
If you have some kind of hard evidence of conspiracy, bring it forward. Displaying economic literacy would help. Otherwise, I reserve the right to write off unfounded conspiratorial theories as some kind of paranoia.
As far as the threat of "globalism" is concerned, Adam Smith demolished it two and a quarter centuries ago. And it was against big brother elitism against which Professor Smith most ardently and successfully railed.

(Why do penumbras not emanate from the Tenth Amendment as promiscuously as they do from the First?)

Thanks. I will take your condescension into consideration.
