Eccoli, sono loro! I partecipanti all'annuale incontro del Bilderberg in Austria, una tre giorni che finirà domani.
Che cos'è il Bilderberg? Ah saperlo!
Vengono chiamati personaggi importanti del mondo. Sfugge chi sia colui che chiama,sfugge la portata dell'evento. Ma scorrendo la lista si notano nomi altisonanti, CEO di svariate multinazionali.
Lilly Gruber è inserita nella lista. Che ci va a fare?
C'è Elkann, c'è Monti.
Dobbiamo pensare che sia il direttivo del mondo?
O una convention per ricompensare i potentati economici?
Ci sono importanti direttori di Google e soprattutto loro, gli irriducibili, gli immarcescibili banchieri, coloro che vivono per trasformare guerre, carestie, litigi, vittorie in potere, in denaro. Capaci di modificare l'andamento del mondo, del nostro piccolo mondo, trasformato in universo, in tutto per pochi.
Chissà che non si decida strategie per far nascere nuove leccornie per tutti, ossia le guerre che arricchiscono pochi, sterminando molti. Noi popolino insignificante, protesi ad ingurgitare nuove energie, pronti a metterci in fila composta per fare rigorosamente quello che altri decidono, restiamo in attesa della luce, delle direttive che potrebbero scaturire anche da riunioni come queste, di cui non si sa quasi nulla, che non riescono a far filtrare nulla di quello che discuteranno questi esseri diversamente trasformati in una altra forma di vita, pregna di voli pindarici, di riunioni supercazzola, di guerre per scavalcare il nemico in organigramma, per sfoggiare titoli e cariche di valore simile a quelle nobiliari.
Un esempio: HSBC la madre di tutte le squallide banche d'affari, rappresentata dal presidente e dalla frenetica direttrice, tale Rona Fairhead la quale è anche nel consiglio della PepsiCo e presidente della BBC Trust. Vi immaginate la vita di questa donna? Riuscite a comprendere una giornata tipo di una che è nome altisonante di banche, megaindustria e televisione?
Come e dove si alzerà al mattino, quante persone avrà ai suoi piedi, come si relazionerà con i suoi simili. Capirà le problematiche normali di un essere umano? Saprà se avrà ancora latte in frigo, se le scarpe sono da portare dal calzolaio, guarderà le nubi ed il sole al tramonto, correrà nel parco salutando la signora di gelati?
Non credo.
Parrebbe essere un'aliena, un simbolo di questi esseri modificati per i quali non proviamo nessuna invidia, tutt'altro.
Resta però il disagio di sentirsi alla mercé di tutti quelli, come loro, che hanno l'ardire, il coraggio e sopratutto la presunzione di decidere il destino di questo bistrattato pianeta.
