World leaders attend meeting that they won't talk about -The Hill

The 53rd Bilderberg Meeting, a gathering shrouded in secrecy, allegedly took place this past weekend near Munich, Germany, at the Dorint Sofitel Uberfahrt hotel.
...
While none of those members {of Congress} attended this year’s conference, Ken Mehlman, chairman of the Republican National Committee, did.
...
This year’s meeting opened with a discussion led by former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger about the meaning of “freedom,” according to a May 1 article in the Financial Times.
...
The meetings are kept private to encourage open discussions. Spouses are banned from attending. Several media outlets are invited to attend the conference; however, they must agree not to report on it. While there are no official “members” of the Bilderberg, several people, such as former Pentagon official Richard Perle and Kissinger, have attended several times.

1. toGa! toGa! to Ga! toGa!

a souseles (female-less) meeting of the real powers that be. Feel secure in the empire yet?

Gee, I wonder what Kissinger thinks is the real definition of true freedom? I suppose it helps to have a secret bank account in the Caymans for that.

3. Not female-less

spouse-less. Women have achieved positions of power, you know.

4. I'm pretty sure there are some souses there too.

5. I wonder why the media is allowed at all, if they're not allowed to

report on it. Are they getting lessons in toeing the party line?

6. Kissenger on the "meaning of freedom"

Is this sinister man, a purported master of realpolitik, the insane creator of the "limited nuclear option," the director of strategic saturation bombing campaigns in a colonial war, and the author of the assassination of Allende an authority on freedom?

7. I don't trust any power structures not accountable to the people.

Given that they shroud their meetings in secrecy without input from ordinary folks and without any way to hold them accountable, I can't say I trust the Bilderbergers. If their goal is neoliberalism, they should be defeated as a group.
