Is this another of the meetings as documented in The Obama Deception?
Secret meeting of world's richest people held in New York

A top-secret meeting of the world�s richest people to discuss the global financial crisis was held in New York on May 5, IrishCentral.com has learned exclusively.
The mysterious, media-blackout 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.
In addition to Gates, Buffett and Rockefeller, the attendees included Oprah Winfrey, George Soros, Ted Turner, and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, among others.
It was held in the President's Room at Rockefeller University In New York at 3 p.m. on that Tuesday afternoon.
How so many giant figures in American life managed to interrupt and coordinate their schedules on such short notice, and meet in total secrecy in the world�s media capital remains a mystery -- as does the ultimate outcome of the billionaires' conference.
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.
According to one of the attendees, Gates was the most-impressive speaker of the day, with Turner the most-outspoken and Warren Buffet the most-insistent on his agenda for change.
Winfrey was said to be in a �listening mode."
Gates was worth an estimated $57B in 2008; more recently, Buffett clocked in at an estimated $37B -- making them the richest Americans.
Winfrey was once the world�s only black billionaire, and has extensive holdings in the entertainment and publishing industries, as well as being a leading philanthropist.
Turner, founder of CNN, once donated $1B to the United Nations. Soros has a personal fortune estimated at $11B, while Bloomberg is listed as the eighth-richest American with a net worth of $20B .
Other invitees included Eli and Edythe Broad, whose current fortune is estimated at $5.2B by Forbes Magazine; John Morgridge, former CEO of Cisco and his wife Tashia; Peter Peterson, senior chairman of the Blackstone Group; Julian Robertson, founder of Tiger Management Corp.; and Patty Stonesifer, former CEO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
"They were all there, the great and the good," a participant told IrishCentral.com.

 According to your logic over on the Irish thread, you should be careful of condemning all charities just because of the evil mechanations of a small number of them. I'll admit I don't keep up on the secret policies of charities. Any info on which charities are out to take over the world? |

| Sorry, I am practically a perfectionist when it comes to that. I even noticed it later but then the thread dropped out of sight. Thanks for giving me the chance to fix it. |

So, who from Asia was there?
If these people think they can direct the course of history from a hotel and not include heavy hitters from Asia, they're kidding themselves.

And you know, it's not like if these high-end keggers didn't exist, the rich and powerful would all just stop talking to one another. When Bill Gates' daughter gets married, who do you think he's gonna invite to the wedding? Joe Sixpack from Buttcrack Idaho? More likely the same people who showed up for the talkfest in New York. |

| I think Oprah's influence far outweighs her material wealth, which is as good a reason as any to invite her. |

Good point.
Until now, most of these reports I have seen described an Anglo- or Euro-American locus of world financial control in the modern era, as does this one. This may have to change. |

That didn't make much sense. The headline is about world government, but the article is about taxes and gives no evidence that there is any international coordinaiton on collecting them.
Anyway, getting us back on topic, the answer to the thread title question apparently is "no" since (and this one is for dedicated to you, Pluto) they were meeting in Athens at the time |

David Icke, really? When was this produced? His claim that we, the entire World, will be living under a regime analogous to Nazi Germany in a matter of 5 to 10 years is a bit far fetched, don't you think? |
