Bohemian Grove seems to be a kind of frat house affair. Bilderberg [philosophy] may be marginally more serious. The CFR is transparent. You can read their publications. In the 18th century it perhaps made some sense to conjure up the Illuminati and Masons. Not since.
Noam ChomskyLook at the ozone story. As long as it was the southern hemisphere that was being threatened, there was very little talk about it.
