This weekend, dozens upon dozens of the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world will be gathering behind closed doors at a luxury hotel in Switzerland.  All of the participants are sworn to secrecy and swarms of heavily armed security guards are making sure that nobody unauthorized gets in.  Decisions will be made at this meeting which will fundamentally change our future.  The CEO of Amazon.com will be there, as will the head of Google, one of the co-founders of Facebook and one of the top executives from Microsoft.  The president of the EU will be in attendance, along with the president of the World Bank, the president of the European Central Bank, the head of the World Trade Organization and the top commander of NATO.  Henry Kissinger and David Rockefeller will be there.  Royalty from all over Europe will be attending as well.  Past attendees have included several U.S. presidents, Ben Bernanke, Timothy Geithner, Prince Charles, current British Prime Minister David Cameron, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates and current Texas governor Rick Perry.  You would think that these meetings would be something that the mainstream media would want to cover.  But unfortunately, the mainstream media mostly ignores the Bilderberg Group meetings, and if they do cover them they just crack a bunch of jokes about "conspiracy theories" and they do their best to play down the importance of the meetings.

The United States has the worlds third largest reserve of rare earth elements. Considering the importance of these materials to our economy and the ever-increasing demand for them, you would think extracting, processing and exporting rare earth materials would be priority within the United States. If you thought that, you would be wrong.

China currently supplies 95% of the worlds rare earth materials. Predictably, China is openly reducing the export of these materials and since the United States no longer mines or processes our own rare earth materials, we are now at the mercy of China for our supply of these vital materials.
China will issue a second batch of rare earth export quotas later this year, but the total volume for 2011 has yet to be decided, the China Securities Journal said, citing Chinese commerce minister Chen Deming.
Chen said the decision on how much would be adjusted compared to last year was now in the “last stage of research.”
China announced at the end of last year that it would cut quotas for the first half of the year by 35 percent, saying rampant and unregulated production over the last few years had caused significant environmental problems.
This reduction in the supply rare earth materials is a severe problems within our economy since they are an integral part of modern manufacturing. Demand for rare earth materials has sky-rocketed over the last 20 years and will only increase in the future.
