I'm not being stubborn because i don't completely agree with one side or the other.....i agree that it's most likely just a conspiracy but i also agree that it could happen.I know absolutely nothing about this kind of stuff as do pretty much all of us.And thats the reason i started this post because i thought people would be interested/as shocked as i was if they were to hear it for the first time as well.0.0000001% of us knows wtf is going on in the world behind closed doors and thats just how it is, so i just wanted to get some opinions and not some random bullshitter who hasnt looked into it whatsoever calling it off like its just some complete fairytale, because im sure many bad things are going on that none of us have any idea about.

Re: conspiracy theory
I remember a few months ago, v3kked was telling me about this(he's a philosophy major and they deal with things like this a fair bit).
He more or less said that the key behind conspiracy theories like the "bildebergs" is essentially that they make a bunch of claims that are difficult to refute and are made by relatively intelligent/educated people and as a result seem more reasonable than they are.
An example of an irrefutable claim is a big part of why religion is still so common. By making it impossible to prove or disprove whether believing in god leads to good things in the afterlife, the fear of bad things happening in the afterlife leads lots of people to believe in god.
Similarly here when an exclusive club like this has private meetings amongst elite people, it is impossible for anyone to refute any of their claims.
I personally haven't watched any of the videos, but just because you or I are incapable of disproving something that doesn't necessarily make it true.
I briefly looked at Jess Ventura's wiki page and saw that 1) he is an ex-professional wrestler and 2) after 9/11 made claims that the buildings were blown up by explosives rather than planes.
Obviously that doesn't 100% prove anything, but *most likely* given that previous history he is the type of person who is good at self-promotion and interested in presenting things in a way that will be controversial and create attention. I think its far different to see him presenting these arguments vs some introvert who seeks no media attention- tons of "out there" theories are people just acting ridiculous to get as much media exposure as possible.
A recent similar comparison that I've found can be seen here- http://www.facebook.com/l/f8c73PBnBH8SXL_eQUAhOea8Siw/online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704111504576059713528698754.html. This author presumably doesn't even parent in the fashion that they discuss, they are simply trying to sell as many books as possible and after the media buzz that this created they will certainly succeed at this goal.
This is the kind of answer i was looking for, because clearly i am not very knowledgeable on the subject and just wanted some decent insight.
