One striking feature is that the office of the POTUS is decidedly out of the loop. Or is it?

One thing bad about these meetings for any of our elected officials attending them, is that they are committing a serious violation, perhaps even a form of treason.. I have heard many people talk about it before, that any elected official attending any secret meeting outside the country with no press or public discussion, is a serious crime..
Of course we know that these people attending could care less about constitutional laws because they are so very very important and above the rest of society, (in their own minds)...They just thumb their noses at the rest of us..
In my opinion the people attending these meetings should be hung by the neck from a tall oak tree.

Pretty much meaningless.....You can connect anything to anything else with enough steps.

Are these connections done in steps to create the illusion of being connected, or are they actually direct connections that those individuals listed have?
If they are genuine connections then it is most definitely not meaningless.edit on 19-4-2012 by The_Phantom because: (no reason given)

You're missing the point....Finding a Direct connection between two people or two industries is one thing....but then you when you spread that out to a direct connections between the second individual or industry...then take it out a third time...and a forth time...It becomes meaningless.
If you try hard enough, you can link anything to anything else, through degrees. Only first level degrees should matter. For instance if my father were President...then I would have a viable link to him....However if my Father was a cousin, to a guy married to an businesswoman, who once did business with a foreign dignitary, who's brother was a barber who once cut the President's hair when he was a child....then there is no real link.
