weer veel geheimzinnigheid rondom deze enorme groep van zowat de belangrijkste mensen uit het westen, en zoals altijd redelijk weinig tot geen aandacht van de mainstream media...

Three members of Britain's upper house of Parliament stood accused on Sunday of offering to use their influence for personal gain in a widening scandal over the improper influence of paying lobbyists over legislators.
A series of media sting operations has thrust the lobbying issue into the limelight and already forced a lawmaker from the lower house of Parliament, Patrick Mercer, to resign from the ruling Conservative Party and seek legal advice.
Labour Party peers Brian Mackenzie and Jack Cunningham and Ulster Unionist John Laird were recorded by a Sunday Times reporter pretending to represent a solar energy firm.
They appeared to agree to push the firm's cause in Parliament. Cunningham was recorded saying he could help with "knocking on doors, introductions and getting to see people, including if necessary the ministers", as well as asking questions in the Lords - for a fee of up to 12,000 pounds ($18,000) a month.
British parliamentarians are barred from engaging in "paid advocacy" for outside groups, but critics say the rules are too loose.
All three denied breaking the chamber's rules.
Laird resigned from the Ulster Unionists pending an investigation into the allegations. The Labour Party said it would consider disciplinary action against any of its peers who are found to have broken the Lords code of conduct.
The scandal will renew pressure on Prime Minister David Cameron to introduce a statutory register of lobbyists, as promised in 2010 in the coalition agreement between his Conservatives and their junior partners, the Liberal Democrats.
Cameron warned more than three years ago that lobbying was "the next big scandal waiting to happen", but critics, including some Liberal Democrats, accuse him of dragging his feet.
Er is trouwens een lijst van wie er allemaal komt, maar elk jaar komen er ook een heleboel mensen die niet op de lijst staan, Bill gates staat niet op de lijst, maar is wel pas geleden in GB gesignaliseert.... Ben benieuwd of Willem en Maxima nu aanwezig zullen zijn nu Beatrix geen koningin meer is....
En ja een hoop speculaas, maar ja men houdt het zo geheimzinnig... Overigens zal de britse belasting betaler wel weer moeten gaan betalen voor de beveiliging van die ultra rijke elite...
