By the way, anyone who still doubts the value of metadata (i.e. traffic analysis) should study the above list of participants and consider what it reveals about the content of the conference!

Many of the names mean little or nothing to me..... no surprise there. Some of the titles are telling, though.

However, the name of a thrice-damned war criminal did jump out:
USAKissinger, Henry A.Chairman, Kissinger Associates, Inc.

That award is badly tarnished, but my irony detector is raising a ruckus just now. I suspect that was your intent.

Don't forget that a key part of traffic analysis is to follow links.
The head of the NSA is not on the list - but Keith Alexander is.
The head of the British MI6 is there, but it's not officially called MI6 (and he's not called "M"!)
Tony Blair is not there - but his good friend Peter Mandelson is.
Etc.

BTW, if you want some clues to "whatever happened to the premise of democracy in the world's 'leading' nations," the Bilderberg list is an excellent place to start. It neatly embodies the toxic (but oh-so-profitable for the 0.0001%) mix of perma-warmongering/international-meddling, Ponzi-finance-based banking (whose aim is to capture the 99.9999% in a permanent state of debt slavery and terror-of-terror-requiring-trading-of-civil-liberties-for-a-false-promise-of-safety) and economics, "the multinational corp as its own super-sovereign" and the capture of most of the "developed" nations' governments by same. Masters of the Universe, they are.

Sorry, not with you here (aside from the arrogation). The Econ prize winners have done some really impressive and useful work. They massively increased the scope of human knowledge and

The Nobel peace prize winners... well, if you exclude the Red Cross I think they've done more harm than good. I would not say the same for the SRPESMAN winners.

A satirical summing-up of this year's Bilderberg conference, with special reference to the irony of its privacy.

Notice how little attention it got in the mainstream press.

Worth looking at the article even if only to admire the pink sweater.

One has to speculate on the amount of concentrated human suffering which is reciprocal to the opulence of this crowd.
