Some say it's just an annual event where the richest and most powerful people in the world can schmooze in private, while others claim earth-shaking decisions are being made there – in secret.
Whatever it is, it's taking place this week in the quiet suburbs near Dulles International Airport at the Westfields Marriott Convention Center in Chantilly, Va. – the same place it was held four years ago when rumors circulated that it was determined there that Barack Obama would be the Democratic presidential nominee, not Hillary Clinton. Two days after the event, Hillary bowed out of the race.
I can remember listening to David Rockefeller describe the intent of the organization - to decide who runs the world.
