You don't want replies from folks who think Freemasons are evil and Illuminati diamond wants to take over the world? Gosh, that'll severely limit
the number of responses, won't it? ;P
Seriously though, from what I have read it began, and continues to be, some people of influence seeking to have informal meetings. It's pretty
difficult to speak frankly when there is a possibility that reporters or political adversaries, or (for a purely random example) conspiracy theorists
that would like to use any comments out of context.
So, different locations are chosen, and the entire staff at the selected location, from cleaning to kitchen to groundskeepers, to the security detail
is replaced by the group's private staffing. The rooms are all swept for bugs and etc.
And then these members of global influence can, for once, speak frankly, speculate, etc.
Honestly I don't blame these people for seeking peace for large gatherings. I think everyone has a right to seek some sort of privacy. And it's too
bad these people have to go through such lengths.
On the other hand, I understand people being suspicious of those with power. Especially political power.
