Bilderberg Conference Austria Global Economy

Here are all the CEOs and politicians going to the top secret Bilderberg Conference this week

A select group of global elite will gather in Telfs-Buchen, Austria, on Thursday for a super secret annual conference where they can discuss politics, foreign policy, and economics freely.

Attendees hold "informal discussions to help create a better understanding of the complex forces and major trends affecting Western nations."

Topics for discussion this year include artificial intelligence, cyber security, Greece, Iran, and the US elections.

But it will be almost impossible to find out what is said on these topics as Bilderberg is closed to journalists.

What we do know, however, is who will be attending. Some notable names include Google's Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt, LinkedIn Cofounder Reid Hoffman, and British Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne.

[alstewartfan]

Not an American flag in sight at this meeting!

[Michael.SF.]

Guess the meeting is not much of a secret.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

It was denied it ever existed until just a few years ago.

[rfreedom4u]

What meeting? (sarc)

[Jan_Sobieski]

It is not what I don’t know about the “world elite” and “secret committees” that scares me. It is what I DO know about the limp-wristed leadership of my own country and their lack of compliance to the constitution. ;-(

[Old Sarge]

Not an American flag in sight at this meeting!

Um, yes there are...

John R. Allen, US Department of State, Special Presidential Envoy
Robert B. Zoellick, Chairman, Board of International Advisors, The Goldman Sachs Group US A
Peter A. Thiel, President, Thiel Capital USA
Eric E. Schmidt, Executive Chairman, Google Inc. USA

And a bunch more...

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

;)

[JimRed]

Can you say “Target rich environment”? I knew you could! Please, Islam, take care of our problem for us!

[VerySadAmerican]

Closed to journalists? With the exception of those who are invited as participants. Peter Jennings used to attend.

[uglybiker]

Will they be getting fries with that?

[jessduntno]

A conspiracy theorists dream lineup, for sure.

[shove_it]

And a bunch more...

Including Kissinger, Betrayus and who knows how many uhnamed Czars and other West Wing traitors.

[alstewartfan]

I am talking about people who care about the US Constitution. Since when do corporate executives care about national over INTERnational interests?

[alstewartfan]

They could trust Jennings b/c he was a shill who hated America.

[who knows what evil?]

Remember a few years’ back when this meeting was the stuff of ‘conspiracies’?

[Old Sarge]

Since when do corporate executives care about national over INTERnational interests?

When it affects the bottom line, of course - follow the money.

[Koracan]

They look to my like "Wanna Be's", the Bilderberg group would be on the left side of the scale.
The Group on the right side, would be ...........??!!!

[sten]

seriously? you’re asking if an American company is interesting in doing business internationally??

the US isn’t even 5% of the world population. if you’re running a corporation that’s doing well here, then you’d expect to do fairly well if you branched out into other countries.

as for the US Constitution outside the jurisdiction of the country, i’m not sure that comes into play as much.

if you’re concerned about jobs, then you need to talk to bjclinton and crew... they’ve been shipping jobs offshore via walmart since 1994 (hint: to get the jobs back, you need tariffs on imported goods to offset the wage difference)

A select group of global elite will gather in Telfs-Buchen, Austria, on Thursday for a super secret annual conference where they can discuss politics, foreign policy, and economics freely.

So it's a super secret confrerence that publishes its attendees? Did someone not get the memo on the "super secret" part?
