My colleague Ken Vogel reports today on the Bilderberg Group, a highly exclusive gathering of “100 and 150 titans of politics, finance, military, industry, academia and media” who gather once a year to discuss world affairs and stoke the coals of conspiracy theorists.
Among the guests: Washington Post chairman Don Graham and (new) New Republic owner [& Facebook co-founder] Chris Hughes. Per Vogel:
The Washington Post Co. and its chairman Don Graham, a frequent attendee, have donated $100,000 over the past few years, according to tax filings. They also show repeat donations from Bilderberg regulars such as David Rockefeller (who has given a total of $150,000 since 2004), Henry Kissinger ($90,000) and mega-Romney donor Henry Kravis and his wife ($145,000).
Over the years, the meetings have drawn Obama cabinet members Tim Geithner and Kathleen Sebelius, not to mention Margaret Thatcher, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, King Juan Carlos of Spain, Tony Blair, Condoleezza Rice, Rick Perry and top officials from BP, Barclays and the Bank of England.
