Huffington Post reporter Ryan Grim told CNN’s Brooke Baldwin on Tuesday that “something like 54 private jets” had arrived at an elite meeting of tech CEOs, GOP party insiders and big donors set on stopping Donald Trump before he wins the Republican nomination.

Grim broke the story (link: ):

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.

Well heck yeah. Srsly. Would you fly on a yucky common carrier if you didn't have to? Hmmm. I wonder what percentage of the attendees are also glow-bull warmunists who want YOU to back off on using energy and causing pollution. 98% of them?

Yes, but that’s a lot of heads being put together.

You can bet all that travel was considered “company business” too.

AEI used to put out a pretty good magazine. Stopped shortly after W’s first term, I believe. Disappointed in the bunch, now.

Elon Musk, making millions off energy credits. No vested personal interests in this Jekyll Island type GOPe meeting.

Actually late April and early May are the best times to visit Sea Island ,Georgia. These “establishment” people just don’t get it.

:: glow-bull warmunists who want YOU to back off on using energy ::

Might correct your thinking on CACA [see my tagline]?

They are not considering reducing use of petro-hydrocarbons. They are more interested in TAXING the use and redistributing those funds to the countries they have found to be most deserving.

They must continuously and consistently be perceived as compassionate to “turd-world” countries. These eunuchs have already cuckolded the American Ghetto-dwellers but their “income” has stagnated.

Compassionate governance = governing income.

If recent neocon activities have produced any results, I'd argue that analysis paralysis is the final product of their Jekyll Island retreat.

They are there for the hookers and booze. Not to see the sights.

Now, if Cruz or Trump wanted to, EITHER could “use” these photos to PROMOTE themselves as “anti-establishment” ....

Against Hillary? Same thing! That “bigwigs” are OT conspiring to oppose Hillary PROVES that they do not mid her views, will not find her policies will be a problem. And THAT either Cruz or Trump can use in October and November.

I guess there’s no need for this year’s Bilderberg conference now. Donald has the New World Order champions’ panties in a wad.

The last time bigwigs got together at a private island resort off the coast of Georgia didn’t turn out too well for us either.

Of course, they went by private train car.

LOL! Can you say “federal” reserve? How many people don’t know that there is nothing “federal” about it? And yet.....

Yeah, but the races at Bristol are probably more important to some than other “races” taking place currently. :>)

Sea Island is...an island. Savannah and Jacksonville airports must have been very busy.

Remember all the bs about corporate jets? They are all evil but somehow I focus on Tim Cook wanting to keep his Asian slave labor operation. Heard Rush say it’s not possible to build I phones here.

And Cook’s secondary agenda is gay Nazism.
