General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt

Cargill Inc. CEO Greg Page

Good to see China's favorite PEU, David Rubenstein, on the list. The Carlyle Group and China are a match made in heaven. Not long ago China supplied U.S. kids cadmium football rings through Carlyle's Oriental Trading. Buyer beware is back in spades.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to global Corporatism/Fascism...There is no longer civil society anywhere on Earth.
ReplyDeleteSpooky and revealing picture.
ReplyDeleteThe politicos are on display with all manner of pomp and flagery, but we're kept from them by rings of armed soldiers, as if they are what is really being defended.
The 'real' owners of the country, the aforementioned corporates, are nowhere to be seen.
it's good to see that the world leaders are meeting with Hu and Obama.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous 12:40 - Agreed. But no soldiers anywhere near these favored species are allowed to be armed with live weapons (no ammo). It's all show for the rest of us, to remind us that we will be shot promptly by plain clothes SS for even attempting to breach the security.
