Meet The Secretive Group That Runs The World
''The following is an excerpt from TOWER OF BASEL: The Shadowy History of the Secret Bank that Runs the World by Adam LeBor. Reprinted with permission from PublicAffairs.''
The world’s most exclusive club has eighteen members. They gather every other month on a Sunday evening at 7 p.m. in conference room E in a circular tower block whose tinted windows overlook the central Basel railway station. Their discussion lasts for one hour, perhaps an hour and a half. Some of those present bring a colleague with them, but the aides rarely speak during this most confidential of conclaves. The meeting closes, the aides leave, and those remaining retire for dinner in the dining room on the eighteenth floor, rightly confident that the food and the wine will be superb. The meal, which continues until 11 p.m. or midnight, is where the real work is done. The protocol and hospitality, honed for more than eight decades, are faultless. Anything said at the dining table, it is understood, is not to be repeated elsewhere. Few, if any, of those enjoying their haute cuisine and grand cru wines— some of the best Switzerland can offer—would be recognized by passers-by, but they include a good number of the most powerful people in the world. These men—they are almost all men—are central bankers. They have come to Basel to attend the Economic Consultative Committee (ECC) of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), which is the bank for central banks. Its current members [ZH: as of 2013] include Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the US Federal Reserve; Sir Mervyn King, the governor of the Bank of England; Mario Draghi, of the European Central Bank; Zhou Xiaochuan of the Bank of China; and the central bank governors of Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, Canada, India, and Brazil. Jaime Caruana, a former governor of the Bank of Spain, the BIS’s general manager, joins them. In early 2013, when this book went to press, King, who is due to step down as governor of the Bank of England in June 2013, chaired the ECC. The ECC, which used to be known as the G-10 governors’ meeting, is the most influential of the BIS’s numerous gatherings, open only to a small, select group of central bankers from advanced economies. The ECC makes recommendations on the membership and organization of the three BIS committees that deal with the global financial system, payments systems, and international markets. The committee also prepares proposals for the Global Economy Meeting and guides its agenda.
That meeting starts at 9:30 a.m. on Monday morning, in room B and lasts for three hours. There King presides over the central bank governors of the thirty countries judged the most important to the global economy. In addition to those who were present at the Sunday evening dinner, Monday’s meeting will include representatives from, for example, Indonesia, Poland, South Africa, Spain, and Turkey. Governors from fifteen smaller countries, such as Hungary, Israel, and New Zealand are allowed to sit in as observers, but do not usually speak. Governors from the third tier of member banks, such as Macedonia and Slovakia, are not allowed to attend. Instead they must forage for scraps of information at coffee and meal breaks. The governors of all sixty BIS member banks then enjoy a buffet lunch in the eighteenth-floor dining room. Designed by Herzog & de Meuron, the Swiss architectural firm which built the “Bird’s Nest” Stadium for the Beijing Olympics, the dining room has white walls, a black ceiling and spectacular views over three countries: Switzerland, France, and Germany. At 2 p.m. the central bankers and their aides return to room B for the governors’ meeting to discuss matters of interest, until the gathering ends at 5.

Note: I realize this is an older article, but relevant given Trumps comments on the FED over the last week. Perhap's a deeper dig to see what they have been up to lately, as this does affect what we can an cannot keep in our pockets in more ways than one.
I was wondering the same, more than one meaning…

After the Cyprus fiasco we better understand what we face from the shadowy agenda lurking in the vaults of the banking cartel in the form of an overt theft they call a bail-in, also known as the haircut, as a strategy to be forced upon the taxpayer from the back door of international commerce. Just how far this will go requires the insight drawn from the warnings issued to all G-20 representatives and even all major bank and financial institution in all nations, that they are indeed open to this skullduggery, and could very well be next for a visit to the barbers which could leave one without for the weekend. Marc Faber suggests a key sign that a bail-in is on the cards comes in the offer of a high interest return on deposits, currently available in the Lebanon, that Cypriot banks had high interest returns on deposits before the haircut. He suggests that high interest offers are the sign for bad banking practices, while low interest yields under the current climate may be seen as good banking. The source of this agenda would be those who represent the mighty old money families from the days of the East India Companies, the slavery, and opium running escapades bringing such wealth to the powerful, they could easily procure a fund, with mighty strings. For the subservience, via desperation, of the nations beleaguered by war through the issuing of credit via the central banks to all nations on the earth.
