When I ask people at work, school and even have political discussions with people in general no one has ever heard of the Bohemian Grove, the Bilderbergs, Council on Foreign Relations or the Trilateral Commission. I have heard people say you are some kind of "conspiracy theorist" if you even want to discuss these groups and their influence on American politics and policy. Since their membership lists contain Presidents(from both parties), political leaders, media figures and heads of multi-billion dollar corporations shouldnt there be some type of dialoge in the press about this so at least the average person knows enough to formulate their own opinion. I would like to hear from people on all sides of the political spectrum. Why this lack of open discussion in the media, in school, in general? If there is no conspiracy or any hidden power manipulation why the strict policy of silence this is America we should NOT be ruled by secret

These groups do exist. Their agenda is unclear to me. I am not an expert, but I have read quite a bit about these groups. Media is controlled by the Bilderbergs. They invite powerful media figures to their meetings, on the condition that they keep secret the goings on of the meetings. Those who aren't invited are silenced in other ways(of which I'm not quite sure). I use to be very much a Rush Limbaugh fan. A few years ago I heard him dismiss a caller who wanted to know what he thought of the Bilderbergs. He basically said it was absurd and that he wouldn't waste time talking about conspiracies such as that. Although there is proof that they exist. At the time I had never heard of Bilderberg before. Last year I grew interested in the Freemasons. I began talking with someone who I worked with, who was very knowledgeable on conspiracy theories. He explained to me how all of these groups are intertwined. While much of what he said seemed quite far-fetched, he was also very informative and most of his information could be verified. I am somewhat of a skeptic, but some of the things he showed me were quite convincing. Schools don't discuss this, because they are government funded and the government doesn't want this knowledge to be believed and widespread. If you would like to discuss this further please email me at fungal_gourmet@yahoo.com. I will answer any questions that I am able to.

Homer - I have heard and read about this organizations/groups from sources other than yours. I would guess you would not post a link that did not support your position.
As far as being a conspiracy theorist you need only read your answers and questions, and it seems you lean pretty much that way. You know one of the absolute key elements to having a successful like is self-awareness. It seems to me you know better than we if you have a tendency to follow these theories.
You also know I am sure that those who do follow these theories are most of the time paranoid. Something has happened that is hard for them to accept and they look for ways to shape it so it fits in more with their world view and often project this into something that is not very real. It is a lot like what is going on today with this irrational hatred of one man. I often ask those who profess this type of behavior who will you transfer your hate to after this person is gone.
To say that there is something evil with these meetings/groups would be to give them much more than they are due. It is for the most part a bunch of wealthy guys who have inputs in the formation of policy in the world.
Look I know it won't make any sense to you but no one made a big deal that clinton was a member of the kgb, because after reagan who was clinton going to report to anyway. All of the powerful elite like their little clubs, but they are harmless, except for the kgb who killed a lot of folks.
Anyway these are private organizations and it is their business, none of yours and your remarks about policy of silence and power manipulation decidely places you amongst the paranoid.
Instead of talking about this at work and risk losing your job, take those health benefits and see someone who can help you understand this deep mistrust of your fellow human. It is not healthy.

Neither area is about the command monetary equipment. The neo-cons favor to public sale off or maybe provide away public resources to the financiers. that's what the bailout is about. pay interest, because the most prepared sector of the organisation community, the banks, favor a huge welfare kit. A banker will not in any respect starve. Banks do no longer bypass out of commercial employer. They in basic terms roll over into yet another corporation, or reinvent themselves. If the banks disappear, human beings will locate new procedures of transforming into wealth. in fact, the banks are hoarding liquidity to make it confusing for wealth to be generated. And the authorities helps that procedure ensue. in fact, if the GOP (Gubernatorial OPPENHEIMER party) is for far less authorities, why are they getting so deeply in touch in the monetary corporation bailout? they don't favor to assist well-known human beings live to inform the tale; they are not for increasing Social safe practices, or extending unemployment reward. They oppose minimum salary and equivalent risk. yet they're curious about giving funds away no longer in elementary words to banks yet huge companies like Blackwater. The Dems are suitable there with them. So i do not see a lot of a distinction.

To be hon st, I have never heard of them. My guess as to why the media doesn't cover them is that they don't sell newspapers or hurt the Republicans. By the way, I am a Republican.

Conspiracies are never taken up in public because these are not entertained by people who knows the truth.

Unless conspiracys are actually proven beyond a shadow of a doubt and it has some significance to history or culture, most people wont care. Conspiracy theorists are like an unsightly wort.

Most average Americans know that no matter who is in power politically - the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
