<\/a>Four separate eyewitnesses inside the Westfields Marriott hotel in Chantilly Virginia told London Guardian writer Charlie Skelton that Mitt Romney was in attendance at Bilderberg 2012, suggesting the Republican candidate could be the elite’s pick for the upcoming U.S. presidential election.<\/span><\/p>\n“Four eyewitnesses on the hotel staff told me Willard Mitt Romney was here at Bilderberg 2012. My four eyewitnesses place him inside. That’s one more than Woodward and Bernstein used. Romney’s office initially refused to confirm or deny his attendance as Bilderberg is “not public”. They later said it was not him,” <\/span>writes Skelton<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The London Guardian writer adds that the fact Romney’s name did not appear on the official list of attendees is meaningless. Numerous power brokers, including Bill Gates, were photographed arriving at the event yet were not included on the list of participants, as is routinely the case.<\/span><\/p>\n With speculation already raging that Romney’s potential VP – Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels – was already <\/span>being groomed by Bilderberg cronies<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a>, Romney’s appearance at the secretive confab of global power brokers suggests that he is being favored by the elite, who have seemingly lost faith in Barack Obama.<\/span><\/p>\n As Skelton noted in a separate report<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a>, on Saturday afternoon a limousine arrived at the hotel surrounded by a police motorcade, signaling the arrival of a “heavyweight politician”. Could this have been Mitt Romney? It’s unlikely given the fact that he was appearing at fundraisers on the west coast all weekend, but <\/span>Romney’s schedule for Thursday<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a>, the first day of the Bilderberg meeting, was clear.<\/span><\/p>\n An invite to the Bilderberg conference has routinely proven beneficial to future Presidents and Prime Ministers.<\/span><\/p>\n Four years ago during a heated battle on the campaign trail, <\/span>Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton gave reporters the slip to attend the 2008 Bilderberg meeting<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a> at the same hotel. On precisely the same weekend as the confab was taking place, <\/span>the Washington Post announced <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a>that Hillary was withdrawing from the presidential race and would support Obama.<\/span><\/p>\n Bill Clinton and Tony Blair were both groomed by the secretive organization in the early 1990’s before rising to prominence. <\/span>Portugal’s Pedro Santana Lopes and Jose Socrates<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a> <\/span>attended the 2004 meeting in Stresa, Italy before both going on to become Prime Minster of Portugal.<\/span><\/p>\n Bilderberg also played a key role in <\/span>selecting John Edwards<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a> <\/span>and John Kerry’s running mate in 2004 and Bilderberg luminary <\/span><\/strong><\/span>James A. Johnson also hand-picked Joe Biden<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a> as VP in 2008.<\/span><\/p>\n Confirmation that Romney attended Bilderberg 2012 may be hard to come by, but news that the former Governor of Minnesota’s <\/span>email account was compromised by a hacker<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a> could offer proof, although no emails have been leaked thus far.<\/span><\/p>\n *********************<\/p>\n Paul Joseph Watson is the editor and writer for <\/span>Prison Planet.com<\/span><\/a>.
