List of Americans This Weekend At Chantilly Bilderberg meeting

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.

Iran's "Hitler": 2 planes couldn't bring towers down

Yahoo News

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says that as an engineer he's sure the twin towers were not brought down by jetliners.

Ahmadinejad, in an interview with The Associated Press, says it would have been impossible for two jetliners to bring down the towers simply by hitting them. he says some kind of planned explosion must have taken place.

Ahmadinejad stopped short of saying the United States staged the disaster 10 years ago. But he says there are questions the world should resolve, and noted there are doubters in the United States as well.

Ahmadinejad was denied his request last year to visit the site of the World Trade Center collapse. He says he's not making another attempt this year. He's in New York City for the U.N. General Assembly.
