this week.
the Business Development Association here is a making a HUGE deal about it,
with pages of news in our weekly rag,
and guess what?
Accompanying them will be...Zbigniew Brzezinski, Nouriel Roubini lots of "other big name" people
whose names, apparently, were not big enough to print in the paper.

I posted about it here:

knowing that where ever Brzezinski shows up, it is not good.
