Bah, there's all the big bankers every year.. better believe from that list though that they were discussing the down turn of the economy..

Rich folks' agents getting together to discuss how best to protect their clients' interests.

Is there supposed to be something remarkable or newsworthy here?

LOL.. wow, elbarto, you and the msm have something in common..

Movie stars walk the red carpet and every channel covers it- a little over 100 of the most powerful people in the world from finance, education, government, etc meet together, in private, in secret, behind closed doors with armed men everywhere- but who cares...

Not to mention any government official from our government who attends is breaking the Logan Act and should be charged with a felony.. but you're right- who cares.
