ZeroHedge reported:
The 68th Bilderberg Meeting is already underway in Washington, D.C., which began on Thursday and will continue through Sunday.
What’s tougher to justify, within a democratic framework, is the practical process whereby conflicts are being debated, behind closed doors, by top policymakers in concert with billionaire industrialists and private sector profiteers.
As for the private equity underwriters (PEU) in attendance, they include:
Kravis, Henry R. (USA), Co-Chairman, KKR & Co. Inc.
Petraeus, David H. (USA), Chairman, KKR Global Institute
Thiel, Peter (USA), President, Thiel Capital LLCKoç, Ömer (TUR), Chairman, Koç Holding AS which partnered with The Carlyle Group on several deals.
Mellody Hobson of Ariel Investments is a new PEU with the launch of Ariel Alternatives. She is listed as co-founder of Ariel Alternatives.
Karp, Alex (USA), CEO, Palantir Technologies Inc. is once again present to protect the Bilderbergers from outside influence. His firm has PEU roots with Peter Thiel's Founders Fund..
Sinema, Kyrsten (USA), Senator is there to ensure she never lives in a car again. The rest of us are on our own.
As they are meeting in D.C. there are opportunities for people not on the official participant list to drop by. Red and Blue Presidential candidates have dropped by to show their mettle.
None of this will be reported by The Atlantic, The Economist or FT. WaPo usually sends someone so it's odd they aren't going when the meeting is in their backyard.
These people are not working on behalf of average citizens. Their game board is personal power, enrichment and life extension. Rest assured they are scheming very hard on how to come out on top.
Update 6-8-22: Bilderberger Mellody Hobson will become part owner of the Denver Broncos.
Update 1-24-23: Sinema is fresh from attending the World Inequality Forum in Davos and rubbing elbows with the billion class. It turns out the PEU boys were very generous with the Independent Senator after she saved their preferred taxation.
Senator Krysten Sinema received at least $526,000 from donors in the private equity, hedge fund, and venture capital industries after killing a bill closing tax loopholes for private equity.
It sounds like the bidding has already started for her future services.
Update 5-18-23: The Bilderberg Group is meeting in Lisbon, Portugal and the published attendee list is similar to past lists. KKR's Henry Kravis, Citadel's Ken Griffin, Palantir's Alex Karp, Founder's Fund/Thiel Capital/Mithral Capital's Peter Thiel are among the global plotters. It's not clear if Brian Deese is back at BlackRock after ending his stint in the Biden White House in March. Stacey Abrams is attending, I imagine to chronicle all the attendees who worked their way up the global economic chain by their bootstraps.
