After I posted the warning about the Illuminati, I got curious and searched around.

It turns out they may have all died off recently, a sudden wide spread attack of food poisoning.

Ask not for whom the Bell tolls.......

I don't know anything about the Bilderbergs, but I would watch out for the Pentavirate, as learned about in the movie, "So I Married an Axe Murderer"

Stuart Mackenzie: Well, it's a well known fact, Sonny Jim, that there's a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world, known as The Pentavirate, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado, known as The Meadows.

Tony Giardino: So who's in this Pentavirate?

Stuart Mackenzie: The Queen, The Vatican, The Gettys, The Rothschilds, *and* Colonel Sanders before he went tits up. Oh, I hated the Colonel with is wee *beady* eyes, and that smug look on his face. "Oh, you're gonna buy my chicken! Ohhhhh!"

Charlie Mackenzie: Dad, how can you hate "The Colonel"?

Stuart Mackenzie: Because he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes ya crave it fortnightly, smartass!

"what do they do? Get together and compare notes on world domination?"

long ago when I was enthralled by such 'conspiracy theory' that was a Big Name somehow associated with 'the Club of Rome' and a host of other shadowy groups that existed yet I had no actual 1st hand evidence anything I read was true.

Since the Age of Google-Fu and reams of accumulating data, my interest has waned somehow.

Tales attributed to members acting out at "The Bohemian Grove" are as sketchy as 'the Illuminati' and 'the Rothschilds' etc etc.

All the fun is in the pursuit of the various intertwined conspiracies. After I retired & have more time available,
focus on things more solid and definitive has evolved.

I used to have a patient who worked for many years ate the Bohemian Grove, which is located about 7 miles from where I grew up in Sonoma County, Ca. My patient was a good conservative, and he loved Ronald Reagan, having spent quite a bit of time with him before and after he became president. This was a chance for famous/rich men to get away and let their hair down. I doubt any "rule-the-world" plots were hatched.

Our daughter had a part time job some years ago. She had to deliver printed material to a couple dozen places. Mostly at night.

One night she approached this "high class" facility to find it ringed with security folk. After several minutes of dialogue and proof of identity they finally let her through, but with an admonishment to not talk about anything she might see.

She did a little checking the next day and it turned out that it was a bilderberger meeting here in Prince William county.

They are real, and from what I have heard/read they do not wish us common folk well.

And that's exactly what they'd want you to think, hmmm?

They already rule the world, you just don't know it LOL !!! God Bless

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't out to get you

I don't think they get together to compare golf scores. I'd think, if I had that kind of money, I'd want to know what politicians were worth buying to ensure my dominance, power, and cash flow performed to it's utmost.

There are competing theories on Globalism and world dominance. But there is one goal, keep control and if necessary, convince us serfs to fight it out later for the winning theory. For now, only mindless idiots see violent war and such as a pathway to world dominance. Like the Iranian Mullahs.

Thus it has always been. The Fabians, Bohemian Grove and this bunch. I see nothing about them that says they are friendly to my existence except as what pleases them if I were to be noticed. And any place where Georgi Soros shows up I am pretty convinced is adverse to nearly every personal interest I maintain.

hambony....Beat me to it. Bravo.

I think the only thing they've got going for them is that cool name. What if they were called the Morton Glandstein Foundation? That ain't shadowy. Not the least bit.

If you want to be part of a secret society to control the world, I can help.

Send $16.95, US currency only please, to me in a plain brown envelope, and I will see to it that you are enrolled as a member. Due to the level of secrecy required, due to security constraints, no receipts can be issued, no t-shirts, ball caps, ID cards, code words or handshakes can be provided. You must keep it a secret, no matter what. No salesmen will call, no disrobing, acceptance is guaranteed.

If you are killed or captured, the society will disavow all knowledge of your membership and existence.

If you are ever questioned, your only reply must be, “You can’t prove a thing!”

When you're rich and powerful you tend to want to control things, nothing new about that. If I were filthy rich I'd be doing the same thing, just not so evil and all that.

I want my own secret society with a cool name! We could just talk about shit and stuff.
