Billionaire investors including Henry Kravis of KKR, who is always looking to sharpen what he calls the KKR edge. Helping Kravis sharpen his edge is General David Petraeus, former director of the CIA, now head of the KKR Global Institute – a massive investment operation.Already, two reporters have been arrested trying to interview the organisers of the conference in the Marriott hotel bar. Its easy enough to keep your privacy intact when youre employing so many people to guard it. Theres something distinctly chilling about the existence of privacy being debated, in extreme privacy The Bilderberg Group says the conference has no desired outcome. But for private equity giants, and the heads of banks, arms manufacturers and oil companies, theres always a desired outcome. Try telling the shareholders of Shell that theres no desired outcome of their chairman and chief executive spending three days in conference with politicians and policy makers. Try telling that to the lobbyists who have been working so hard to push the Transatlantic Trade Investment Partnership (TTIP) deal that is being negotiated. Bilderberg is packed to the gills with senior members of powerful lobby groups. Will members of BritishAmerican Businesss international advisory board, such as Douglas Flint and Peter Sutherland, express BABs fervent support of TTIP when discussing Is the economic recovery sustainable? Or will they leave their lobbying hats at the door? MP Michael Meacher describes Bilderberg as the cabal of the rich and powerful who are working to consolidate and extend the grip of the markets. And theyre doing so beyond the reach of the media or the public.
