The 2013 Bilderberg Meeting List: Who went and what did they talk about
It’s that time of year again, time for the Bilderberg meeting where the self-professed movers and shakers of the entire world get together, pat each other on the back and dream they can micromanage the entire world and solve all its problems with their intelligentsia. For some people, these names incite terror as they represent the 1% of the mythical 1% of the world population that runs the entire economic globe through bank finance, political influence, and media relations. To me they are a mixed bag of geniuses, hardy capitalists with a long train of social moochers, looters and die-hard progressives riding their coat tails. Regardless of what one might think about this list of names, or the power that the Bilderberg meeting has on world affairs—the hopes and dreams of these people are presumptuous. They assume they have value which the rest of society does not. This mistake places them in the failed company of thousands upon thousands of global leaders all over the world through all history who reached their death with the grim realization that all the money and power in the world could not make them “good” people. So their attempts to use their power and influence to do some “good” in the world is misguided, and will 100% of the time lead to the failure of their objectives. So fret not over the names on this list. They are only human, and being such is an act to out-grow, not relish.
