Now under the group’s leadership of former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and one-time EU vice president, Viscount Davignon, the aim is purportedly to allow Western elites to share ideas.

Enough to make it clear that we should question all of this.

I’ll ask Rick Perry what goes on there.

Hillary will be there with Huma. Bill will probably be there, too. I doubt Weiner will be in attendance.

why does the same set of people continue to be billionaires, never to be affected seriously by the worlds depressions, only to come out with more money and more power, and why does it seem that all elections seem to be calculated and fixed, as if the outcomes were already determined?

So they gather together, and gain nothing out of it? These are just social clubs? THAT is what strains credulity. That the class that seeks the highest levels of wealth and power through governmental policy,,, would never coordinate their efforts. This writer can’t be serious.

PS,,, for extra credit, describe an era when the power elite was NOT involved in schemes to consolidate and expand their power.

But wouldn’t it be more alarming if the world is not ruled by anyone, and is spinning out of control?

That’s why these theories are so appealing.

It’s common sense. If some goombahs can organize trucking, unions, prostitution, drugs, gambling, etc, we’re supposed to think the leaders of the world can’t organize? Puhlease. Anything the mafia can do, the elites of the world can do.

the aim is purportedly to allow Western elites to share ideas...Part of the reason for alarm is the group's secretive working methods. Names of attendees are not usually released before the conference, meetings are closed to the public and the media, and no press releases are issued.

The public has every reason to feel both fear and suspicion of elites meeting secretly to "share ideas." The U.S. is supposed to be a democratic republic but as events of the past couple of decades have shown, elitist notions like Agenda 21 are imposed quietly behind our backs with no public notice or vote. The Constitution is under relentless attack as the elites maneuver to gain undemocratic dictatorial power.

What constitutes a conspiracy? We certainly have a group of elitists gathered together to plan something. Is that something harmful or illegal? That would be my guess. I have the same thoughts about administrative meetings at the White House. Conspiracies happen.

I didn’t take this group seriously until I saw that Prince Charles was once an attendee.

Now they MUST be taken seriously! Wow!

You are right there is no conspiracy at all, even though it’s in their own writings...

Governments ONLY have the BEST intentions for all of us. After all History proves this over and over again. Even the Founding Fathers trusted government.

Government is good and you should NEVER ask it any questions. If you do, then you are a conspiracy theorist.

(sarcasm off)

I wish the word “elite” didn’t now mean what it means. I used to be an elite cyclist. Some would say I was an elite student in certain disciplines. My sister was an elite swimmer.

Oh well.

People like to believe in cabals because such belief reduces the amount of thinking they are required to do.

[ Why do people believe in cabals? ]

I ask the inverse.. Why do some people dis-believe in cabals?
There have been many conspiracy’s in history..

Like communism is based in conspiracy..
Some might say communism “IS” a conspiracy..

If people knew what it was and wasn’t they would never choose communism..

What about the media conspiracy to silence or ridicule all discussion of conspiracy?

A Conspiracy founded our country, so why it hard to accept one is trying to found a World Government?

These theories are important because they give people an excuse for their personal economic failures.

There may be a group that rules the world, and has for decades, or centuries. So what? If true, no one is going to stop them, they are all-powerful and somehow pass the power to new generations of string-pullers. In the meantime, some people do fine economically and others don’t.

I never worry about such things. If such a group exists, upholding the status quo would logically be their aim, since they are the ones that created it. And I’ve done quite well under their status quo, as have many others. Worrying about cabals is like worrying about the weather, useless and unprofitable.

Stop worrying and take control of your economic life. It’s yours to make or break.

If the Bilderbergers picked 0bama, someone must’ve spiked their punch, or they’ve got a sick sense of humor. They’d better convene an emergency session to correct their error.
