Heard a rumor that Gov. Perry had attended the 2007 Bilderberg meeting in Istanbul and just did a search...
I simply cannot go along with the conspiracy theorists, most come off as nuttier than Wrong Paul.
Of course they exist but so what?
Well I couldn’t figure out what to call “sanity points.”
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.
Like I said, I can't remember the name of the paper, just that it had Dallas in the title. I imagine someone from Texas will probably enlighten us.
“You'd need a link to a site with video of him praising Gaia or something to get anywhere.”
Why would I want a link like that? I have no axe to grind with anyone over Gov. Perry. I've always liked Texans.
“Yes, there is such a group and no they probably don't run the world. Sure, who knows what kind of crap they do in private. Half of them don't agree with the other half's world view and I think that ends any idea of them being a cohesive consiracy.”
Just a punch of rich and powerful guys and gals from the media, politics, and finance getting together in private to discuss whatever is on their minds. No different than what goes on in Washington DC every day.
Also, there are probably groups trying to bring a preferred order to the world.
But they aren’t going to draw attention to themselves with a name that is going to attract the curious minded.
Likely, they would be set up as numbered corporation that would draw no attention to themselves at all. And, for those willing to take the time to try and find them, good luck at looking at the millions of corporations that are also numbered and also drawing minimal attention to themselves.
You are mistaken on this point. The Trans-Texas corridor's name changed to calm the public outcry. It is still in the works as well as the Mexican trucker program. The first was just set back a bit on it's time table. Need proof, try looking at the I-69 corridor...the new name that is.
I am sure the dems and libs would love to jump on this bandwagon and I'm sure they have to some degree, but Rick Perry damaged his own reputation by stepping on Texas farmers and ranchers, not to mention moms and dad's through his whole gardisil mandate. He did it to himself.
Being an agri-buisnessman and husbandry of land family, you'd think he'd had know better. One might say his aspirations blinded him. I'd agree with this assertion.
Perry is indeed an elitist, he carries himself so in his dealings and lifestyle. By the way, I've not heard nor have I eluded to RP being a member of Skull and Bones.
Sorry, but the rest of the nation may fall for the MSM’s depiction of Perry, but many Texans know better.
“Googling “Perry attends Bildaburger meeting” brings up the Austin tv news report of his appearance and his topic for a presentation given was STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERALISM.”
Yes, I knew that already, but maybe someone else didn’t. See my post 31.
Wikipedia lists him as an attendee in 2007, the only US Governor. Sanford attended in 2008.
It wouldn’t really matter what his topic was, the Bilderberg conference is not the best place to lay out world domination plans.
Bilderbergs- aren’t they the ones we have to kill to avoid the New world Order?
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]

I suspect whatever schemes are hatched about whatever topics are discussed, are developed in private lounges, homes, or backrooms, wherever the rich and powerful congregate, be it Istanbul, Davos, or Washington DC.
The original Kook Test asked if Newt Gingrich was a personal threat to one's freedom? I substituted Perry for Gingrich.
Super secret? How come we know about it, then?
Of course they exist but so what?
Do they exist for a purpose or do they just host meetings on random and pointless topics that they are ambivalent on?
If he was there I’m glad.
Throw in email, video conferences, stay overs.
But you didn't explain anything...that asked.
