"Meetings are closed. No resolutions are passed, no votes are taken, and no public statements are ever made" - If meetings are closed, how can you print that no votes are taken? or that any decisions are made that affect not only you, your future and your families and friends but also every one elses? You are asking me to stretch my imagination to the point of believing that all these multiple yearly meetings in different parts of the world and the huge expense to put them on are just to... to... what? hang out and discuss how to help you & me? jajaja
