if she and her husband choose to attend the 2015 Bilderberg meeting in Austria. Just a guess IMVHO.

(146,317 posts)Democratic Underground is not intended to be a platform for kooks and crackpots peddling paranoid fantasies with little or no basis in fact. To accommodate our more imaginative members we tolerate some limited discussion of so-called "conspiracy theories" under the following circumstances: First, those discussions are not permitted in our heavily-trafficked Main forums; and second, those discussions cannot stray too far into Crazyland (eg: chemtrails, black helicopters, 9/11 death rays or holograms, the "New World Order," the Bilderbergers, the Illuminati, the Trilateral Commission, the Freemasons, alien abduction, Bigfoot, and the like). In addition, please be aware that many conspiracy theories have roots in racism and anti-semitism, and Democratic Underground has zero tolerance for bigoted hate speech. In short, you take your chances.
You're taking your chances with this thread.

(3,978 posts)and it no longer is in the conspiracy territory but a reality.
Times change but apparently you have a hard time changing with current events. Let go of the past you cling so hard to IMO.

(146,317 posts)change people's minds. That's the conspiracy nonsense. You're claiming that the Bilderberger is some sort of secret, sinister thing. It's either mainstream or it's not. It doesn't matter to US voters, and discussions of it's "importance" are forbidden on DU. You're welcome to take your chances, though. I wouldn't do it.
Harmony Blue
(3,978 posts)if Clinton is serious about her latest push for populism she would not choose to attend the Bilderburg meeting. Just my two cents.

(9,359 posts)If these are such great organizations, why aren't they open to the public like TED talks?
I don't agree with everything said at TED, but at least they're pretty transparent.

(16,375 posts)Aren't you? It's not a conspiracy theory and never was. That was how it was dismissed by the elites who wanted it to remain close to the vest, so to speak... Their vests.

Starry Messenger
(32,342 posts)so I'll take that with a grain of salt. Other than that, I'd hazard that it isn't high on a list of people's everyday concerns.

WHEW!! That was close!

(25,406 posts)I didn't even know that Bilderberg was in Austria until reading your post. And I have no idea what they are meeting about and why or if the Clintons would attend. Am I that much less well informed than "most people"?
