The Bilderberg Group, Bilderberg conference, or Bilderberg Club is an unofficial annual invitation-only conference of around 130 guests, most of whom are persons of influence in the fields of politics, business and banking.

The elite group meets annually at luxury hotels or resorts throughout the world — normally in Europe, and once every four years in the United States or Canada. It has an office in Leiden in the Netherlands.[1] The 2008 conference took place in Chantilly, Virginia.[2][3] and the 2009 meeting will take place from May 14-16 in Athens,Greece.[4]

Lolita the GHOST RIDAH!! asked:


Today, the House Oversight Committee discovered that, just one week after the federal government bailed out insurance giant AIG, company executives went on a retreat to a luxury resort. The executives spent nearly $500,000 on manicures, facials, pedicures, and massages, among other things. During a hearing today, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) asked, “Have you heard of anything more outrageous?”:

I am flabbergasted that AIG would fund a junket retreat to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars less than a week after getting $80 billion + of our money

From todays Washinton post online.

Less than a week after the federal government offered an $85 billion bailout to insurance giant AIG, the company held a week-long retreat for its executives at the luxury St. Regis Resort in Monarch Beach, Calif., running up a tab of $440,000, Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) said today at the the opening of a House committee hearing about the near-failure of the insurance giant.

Showing a photograph of the resort, Waxman said the executives spent $200,000 for rooms, $150,000 for meals and $23,000 for the spa.

“Less than a week after the taxpayers rescued AIG, company executives could be found wining and dining at one of the most exclusive resorts in the nation,” Waxman said. “We will ask whether any of this makes sense. ”

Geez rub it in, these guys are using my money for Pedicures!!!

Now, the House ethics Committee is expanding its investigation of corruption on reports that Charles Rangel (D) NY, accepted money from Nabors Industries for a cultural center in NY named for him.
As well as others charges, most notably that he failed to report taxes on his luxury resort home in the Dominican Republic. Very troubling coming from the head of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, the guys that write US Tax policy for all the folks!
