WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham will travel to Dresden, Germany, this weekend to participate in the 2016 Bilderberg meeting — a private gathering of public officials, lawmakers, journalists and thinkers.
The South Carolina Republican is the only member of Congress scheduled to attend the meeting, according to an official list of participants. Among those included in the 125-person roster are former Army Gen. David Petraeus, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde.
Also taking part are the editor-in-chief of Bloomberg, a history professor from Harvard University, the head of Google and the prime ministers of Belgium and the Netherlands.
Graham, who ran for president last year, gained national exposure for being the only Republican contender to slam President Barack Obama’s Iraq war strategy while actually offering his own alternative. Since dropping out of the race at the end of 2015, he has been something of a voice of conscience for the Republican Party struggling to reconcile with its unconventional presidential nominee, Donald Trump.

If these people think that Americans are going to elect a pansy like Lindsey - they need to think again. Most of the time, America votes for the Alpha - Male types.
If you follow Twitter, there are Bilderberg tweeters. One I picked up was on one of LG’s pompous threads.
This is an old thread. I have been trying to figure out the behavior of McCain and Graham.
They are Globalists. IIRC, Putin kicked out Soros, and isn’t willing to totally go along with the West’s plan for the New World Order - Corporate Government.
Russia’s actions in the Ukraine etc. are actually acts of War, but clever enough to not trigger the NATO definition of War. Russia has one of the longest borders in the world to defend. Our movement of missile defense systems etc.(to protect Europe from Iran)makes Russia understandably nervous, as they can also be used against Russia, but given their recent aggressions very necessary to protect the Eastern European Nations.
In addition there is the dispute going on over a pipeline to go through Syria - A warm water port for Russia. IIRC, The Saudis and America have one planned that would be able to provide oil to Europe from the Arab states. Russia has one planned that would supply Europe with oil from Russia.
Europe is very dependent upon energy from Russia right now. Russia needs to sell its oil. So there is Geo Politics going on in addition to the NWO forces.
The first war in the Gulf, showed the State Department, that the US could exert it’s military in the Region and Russia would not attack. So they decided to destabilize and get rid of all the dictators that had sided with Russia during the cold war. So the USA set about to take down those Regimes. It’s alleged that Obama also wanted to get the Muslim Brotherhood in power.
However, any one with half a brain, should have known that Russia would not sit on the sidelines and let Syria go - they need that port and that pipeline. Russia is not in good shape financially or demographically. We can not afford to let them implode and have a bunch of loose nukes, but remnants of the Evil Empire are still there, so it’s a rock and hard place. Keep them contained, but not demolished.
The Chinese are busy in the Region, snapping up the mineral resources, and helping the people as they set up operations. So they are making friends while we are making Rubble. They are also buying up and putting industry in the USA. In other areas, the workers that they send can also be former soldiers who can be an invading force if needed.
However, so far they seem to be more inclined to take over through influence, and so that’s probably why they are busy investing/buying up the Hollywood Companies.
I am not sure what McCain and Graham motives are, but money, power, and revenge or blackmail are likely in there somewhere. I do know that Nuclear War with Russia is not in any one’s best interest. Russia has again started it’s submarines “exploring” our coasts. It is my understanding that these subs can shoot off missiles that can hit several cities at once.
Geo politics is as dangerous as it was during the cold war, and neither Russia nor China is our friend, and US dollars have been used to make their military stronger, while we have been busy fighting and depleting ours.
In addition the suspicion between China, Russia, and Turkey seems to have lessened, and it is not in our interest for them to form alliances. They are also making moves to undermine the US dollar as the reserve currency, and when the dollar falls, it will have severe consequences for the economy.
When the Politicos start beating their chests, and braying about matters that don’t seem that important, there is nearly always something going on behind the scenes that they want to distract from. Often it’s reported in the foreign press.
When the Clinton impeachment was ongoing and the press was focused on that, a sell out to the Chinese was going on, among other things that didn’t make the news then.
The Russian hacking meme is keeping everyone distracted from the content of the emails which revealed criminal and underhanded activities. Ultimately, it can also be used to discredit the contents.
So a lot is going on that could explain things. Russia hacking the DNC is a pimple compared to the real issues. I would think that Russia would have kept any hacked info to blackmail people not released it.
They already got uranium in pay to play. I am inclined to think that someone in the DNC-maybe a former Bernie supporter gave the info to WikiLeaks, or that the NSA who had friends die due to Clinton’s incompetence with classified info, and sick of policies detrimental to America gave it to WikiLeaks. JMHO
Well. I’m sure glad I bumped up this thread—! I’ve been reading about the Hudson Institute. Got a summary for me there?
No I don’t. I used to check a couple of times a year back when the spotlight web site was active. After it closed, I sometimes would find some info by googling-The UK Guardian was the main paper that reported on stuff the most.
Alex Jones also used to show up at the meetings to see who was attending, I think. I never paid much attention to him, but apparently he has all the Lame Stream Media’s panties in a twist.
Up until about 10 or 15 years ago, any mention of the Bilderbergs was ridiculed as conspiracy theory, and they denied it existed for years. Now you hear about it here and there, and I think they even have a website and publish an agenda list.
Still it’s never a big news item when they meet like when the G7, or the World Economic Forum meet - you at least here that they are meeting and smidge of info. Most of the time the Bilderberger meeting is just never mentioned-I think that is amazing considering all the journalists and rich influential people that attend.
So we have all these influential people meeting behind closed doors and never talking about what they discussed. The only Presidents that weren’t somehow hooked up with this group, CFR, or Trilateral Commission, are Truman, Regan, Kennedy and maybe Ike.
Ike was already President when the Bilderbergers were set up and Truman was already out of office. Kennedy was assassinated, and an attempt was made on Regan.
Since dropping out of the race at the end of 2015, he has been something of a voice of unconsciousness for the Republican Party.
There, fixed it.
And you know this because.....?
bttt x 1000
Can’t remember my thought process, only that he was probably not on air during that time. He never, ever, never mentions anything about that group when they meet. Why? All the movers and shakers in the world getting together and he never mentions it, along with the rest of the entire MSM. Total news blackout. The most casual, nonessential thing can occur and it is blasted 24-7 by the media, but this meeting, never. Why?
And when he does mention the Bilderbergers, it is with a sneer at the “conspiracists”. But he never explains why he won’t mention them when they are meeting, under the tightest security imaginable.
There is much to be done.
It is absolutely not to expect secret meetings of pols and bankers and billionaires to be handing out bribes. Merkel has to be in too deep to stop.
Ack. Absolutely not a —conspiracy theory—to expect bribes are being exchanged—
Right on all counts I expect. I cannot recall the exact details, but someone who had declined to attend mentioned ignoring the Bilderbergers and Maggie Thatcher said it was a good group to ignore or something to that effect.
It was her objections to the surrendering of sovereignty to the EU that helped to get her replaced as PM. When Brexit happened, my first thought was Thatcher would have been happy.
