I've been trying to organize a protest of the Billionaires since 2019. The richest and most despicable of them meet each year in Sun Valley Idaho, at the Billionaires SummerCamp the week after 4th of July. They've held it every year for 37 years, except for 2020.

This conference is where the Billionaires issue there marching orders to the Operation Mockingbird media: Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, but also old media like NBC, ABC, New York Times, Fox News, CNN, etc. It is attended by Musk, Theil, Schmidt, Fuckerberg, etc, but is also attended by several former CIA Directors, CIA propaganda staff and military PSYOP intelligence professionals.

Sun Valley is an extremely small town, nestled in the rugged Rocky Mountains, with only 3 main entrances. Protests at one or all of these locations would cause significant disruptions for the event, and would be very hard to ignore.

My 18+ year moderator account on Reddit was attacked, hazed, and eventually suspended for promoting this very protest. I was allowed to be doxxed by Reddit admins repeatedly, including a nasty brigading effort initiated on /r/SubRedditDrama. None of the offenders were sanctioned in any way, and continue to operate on Reddit hazing and harassing other people. At least one person called the FBI and claimed I was a dangerous terrorist, in an attempt to get me swatted.

About 10 days later, I was interviewed by the FBI, and thanked for my time, including a well wishing that my Sun Valley protest would be a success. I've a filed FOIA request on this investigation and other related issues to the FBI, and am awaiting the result.

Here's a Forbes (warning: certainly a publication funded by these ghouls) article about it. It sounds absolutely vile.

The beautiful mountain resort town of Sun Valley, Idaho, will again be overwhelmed with private jets, bodyguards, and entourages, as the world's wealthiest attend the 40th annual media finance conference hosted and funded by private investment firm Allen & Company.

...

The coveted invites to the gathering went out to the top 1% of CEOs, their families, investors, and brilliant scientific minds. Most guests arrive by private jets, (which resulted in a ground stop issued by the FAA last year due to extreme congestion.) For five days, the famous moguls all wear name badges like us common folk, listen to speeches, sit in on panels about politics, healthcare, and the economy, and join in on group activities from golf to fly-fishing, hiking, and cycling.

...

The opportunity to take the layer of wealth and fame off the table allows people to really be themselves, to live in the moment, feel humbled (lmao wtf), and appreciate the simple things in life that make this place special.

...

Also invited were Lawrence Summers, Hank Paulson, former Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, former CIA chief David Petraeus, Warren Buffett, former American Express chief Kenneth Chenault, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, Annox Capital’s Bob Myeloid, and Facebook investor Peter Thiel.

Ghouls. Protest isn't enough, we need to [REDACTED]

Man I sure would be happy if a [REDACTED] went off at this event and [REDACTED] a bunch of those billionaires.

This is wild. Do you have a blog or somewhere where you publish details around this story?

[–] webdoodle@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you for your interest. I no longer maintain any of my own websites, and am only slightly active on a few social media after my Reddit deplatforming. I can't say I've put the whole story down in any one place, but here are some of my other social media accounts, that have bits an pieces of the story:

Let me know how I can help spread the word! This might actually be a viable avenue as long as all signs have clear, concise, and unified messaging.

In 2024, I'll start posting on it on /c/Intelligence in early spring. I had done the same thing on Reddit in 2021. I even created a dedicated Sub, which got nuked from orbit: /r/SunValley2021.
