Re: *New SH!* Check it Out!!

I for one am glad there are so many 'beacon' sites.  They make for a bigger search target.  I went from finding no 'refugee camps' the day after Fef sold us out to FIVE yesterday and SIX today!

To me that's a good thing.  We'll settle on a main site eventually, but now the objective seems to be finding people.  Keep putting up those beacons, people!

Re: *New SH!* Check it Out!!

Great job!  The way I figure it, the more sites we create (even ones which might not catch on), the bigger a search target we become.  I went from finding no digital refugee camps the first day Fef sold us out to five within a week.  Yours makes SIX.  Eventually we'll settle on a main site, but for now we just need to keep putting up beacons.

Just remember to friend everybody you find--even former 'enemies.' We need each other's resources more than ever now.

Re: Another Cluster of Refugees discovered.

Indeed.  I'm thinking about joining any site which has SH refugees.  The more people we can get together the better.  Eventually we'll settle on a main site, but for now just finding people seems to be the order of the day.

We even need to forget past feuds and friend our former adversaries.  We need each other's resources if we're gonna form a community again.

Never, but if it ever had been I would have reformatted/replaced the drive, reloaded the OS and moved right along.

Re: What do you miss the most about Sodahead?

The people.  Even my putative 'enemies' were entertaining/interesting.

Re: A Dirge to Sodahead

Low?! What they did was positively scummy.

Sure, the younger members will just pick up and move on, but the older demographic relied on Sodahead for their sanity.

Re: Will you date a younger person then how much younger?

I'm married now but, before then, my 'normal' age range was anywhere between 18 and 50.  I suspect that will 'slide' a bit toward the right end of the X-axis as I advance in years. :-D

World's 'Elite' Gather To Plot Your Future

Ahh!  It's Bilderberg time again. . .when a young man's fantasy such as mine turns to visions of Klingon Birds of Prey with vast arrays of weaponry.

4 things we know about the secretive Bilderberg Group and 1 thing we'll never know

The secretive meeting brings together big international business and top-level government

The Bilderberg Group has long been the subject of speculation. But what do we really know about the secretive international meetings between top politicians and bosses?
We know where the meetings are held

The location of the meetings is now public. Last year, the Danish capital of Cophenhagen was the venue of choice.

This year, the world's elites will travel to the Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol in the Austrian Alps.

We know who attends them

Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls (left) and Chancellor George Osborne appearing on BBC One's The Andrew Marr Show The group releases a list of attendees. From the UK this year George Osborne and Ed Balls are attending.

Other people going to the 2015 meet-up include José Barroso, the former EU Commission President, and executives from firms including Google, BP, Shell, and Deutsche Bank.

We know what's on the agenda

Greece's troubles continue Prior to meetings the group releases broad subject areas for debate. This year, all we know is that they'll be discussing "Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Chemical Weapons Threats, Current Economic Issues, European Strategy, Globalisation, Greece, Iran, Middle East, NATO, Russia, Terrorism, United Kingdom, USA, US Elections".

A lot of these subjects hints are very broad-ranging. 'United Kingdom', for instance, could be a reference to the Brexit, the recent elections, or both.

They take security very seriously

There is no need to rely on private security: national governments of host countries cooperate fully and provide police protection.

This year's summit starts on Thursday but already a zone around the Interalpen-Hotel Tyro has been established by Austrian police with security checks on vehicles entering and exiting the area.

Arrests have been made at previous meetings, including of journalists trying to find out what is going on.

But... we don't know what was said

People who attend the events do not, as a rule, talk about the specifics of what was discussed. This includes politicians whose job is to represent their constituents.

There are no minutes taken of the meetings, and no reports are made of any conclusions reached. No votes are taken and no policies proscribed. Journalists trying to interview participants at meetings have previously been arrested.

The specifics of most international summits and meetings tend to be fairly opaque, but some public announcement is usually made as to conclusions reached.

Not so with the Bilderberg Group; the global establishment departs as quietly as it arrives.
