Meeting of the Minds

Just a few weeks ago on May 5th, the leading American paper chasers, including Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, George Soros and Oprah Winfrey attended a secret meeting to discuss the crumbling world economy. Held in New York in the President’s Room at Rockefeller University, the meeting was called by Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire-Hathaway; Bill Gates, co founder of Microsoft; and David Rockefeller Jr., chairman of Rockefeller Financial Services.

According to IrishCentral.com, ” In their letter of invitation, Gates, Buffett and Rockefeller cited the worldwide recession and the urgent need to plan for the future. They said they wanted to hear the views of a broad range of key leaders in the financial and philanthropic fields. Each attendee was given 15 minutes to deliver a presentation on how they saw the future global economic climate, the future priorities for philanthropy, and what they felt the elite group should do.”

They cited Warren Buffett as being the most “resistant” to some of the ideas raised, while Oprah Winfrey was said to be among the most silent during the meeting. Other attendees, who too are among the uber rich include New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Eli and Edythe Broad, John Morgridge (CISCO), Peter Peterson (Blackstone Group), Julian Robertson (founder of Tiger Management), Ted Turner (founder of CNN) and others. The net worth of those in the meeting toppled over $200 Billion.

Sounds to me like the rich scheming on how to stay rich, you can’t really knock their hustle; now you know you and your broke friends need to sit around and scheme on making their revenue flow to you. They are in their position of power because our revenue flows to them.

Okay, so what does that last comment have to do with the crumbling world economy…. Absolutely nothing, did you even read the article Jeffrey John?

Anyway, my comment/question about the meeting is, “Why was Oprah among the most silent???” She has a lot to say on her talk shows..

lolllll, FOR REAL, that comment was random. And look at the people Oprah was in the room with… that is one reason to be silent.
