Bilderberg and weapon sales

Bilderberg and weapon sales is John Kiriakou’s claim about what elite steering-committee gatherings are really for. He places groups like the Council on Foreign Relations and Bilderberg squarely within the “deep state.”^[1] Someone he was once close to (a former associate who attended both Bilderberg and Shangri-La), who began attending such meetings, told him that whether it is Bilderberg or the Shangri-La Dialogue, “it’s all about weapon sales” — the presidents, prime ministers and billionaires may discuss big global issues, but “at the end of the day it all comes down to which defense contractor made what deal.”^[2][3][4] More recently, he adds, the focus has widened to tech — central bank digital currencies and AI.^[5][6] Kiriakou has given a similar account elsewhere, saying a former close associate who attended Bilderberg, Davos, and Shangri-La told him that aside from a handful of prominent figures like Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, George Soros, and Tony Blair, everyone else at those conferences simply wanted to sell weapons.^[7]
