I hear ya, but IMO, elected officials of the United States have no business entering into this sort of official policy discussions.

If I am not mistaken, it is illegal for any elected official of the U.S. to enter into or draft treaty with a foreign entity outside the guidelines of our constitutional republic. Am I wrong?

The lack of transparency is disturbing and unethical at the very least.

Rick Perry championed the Trans-Texas corridor and Mexican trucker pilot programs that directly benefited foreign governments over American interest.

RP’s push to confiscate thousands of acres of private ranch and farm land from Texans was nothing less than alarming.

Texans were takin back by Perry's vehement support of these programs even with overwhelming opposition from his fellow Texans.

Was any of this discussed during the Bilderburg conference? Who would know?

The conspiracy is this, Rick Perry, an elected servant of the people attends this super secret, super surveilled, super secure gathering with the worlds corporate elite and government policy makers and refused to pony up.

Something is wrong with this.

The Bilderberg Group, Bilderberg conference, or Bilderberg Club is an annual, unofficial, invitation-only conference of approximately 120 to 140 guests from North America and Western Europe, most of whom are people of influence.[1] About one-third are from government and politics, and two-thirds from finance, industry, labour, education and communications. Meetings are closed to the public and often feature future political leaders shortly before they become household names.[1]

Between what you posted and his Executive Order forcing Gardasil on grade school girls, I'm left with the opinion that Perry is not to be trusted with real power.

Who does he really serve? What restrains him?

He doesn't sound all that 'Texan' or 'American' to me and we've had more than enough of that sort in our government already, especially in the WH.
