The Trilateral Commission: World Shadow
Government
Source:
www.afgen.com
The Trilateral Commission was
established in 1973. Its founder and primary
financial angel was international financier,
David Rockefeller, longtime chairman of the
Rockefeller family-controlled Chase
Manhattan Bank and undisputed overlord
of his family’s global corporate empire.
Rockefeller’s idea for establishing the
commission emerged after he had read a book
entitled Between Two Ages written by an
Establishment scholar, Prof. Zbigniew
Brzezinski of Columbia University.
In his book Brzezinski proposed a vast
alliance between North America, Western Europe
and Japan. According to Brzezinski,
changes in the modern world required it.
"Resist as it
might," Brzezinski wrote elsewhere,
"the American system is compelled gradually
to accommodate itself to this emerging
international context, with the U.S.
government called upon to negotiate, to
guarantee, and, to some extent, to protect
the various arrangements that have been
contrived even by private business."
In other words, it
was necessary for the international upper class
to band together to protect its interests, and
to ensure, in the developed nations, that
political leaders were brought to power who
would ensure that the global financial interests
(of the Rockefellers and the other ruling
elites) would be protected over those of the hoi
polloi.
POCANTICO HILLS CONFABS
Although the initial arrangements for the
commission were laid out in a series of meetings
held at the Rockefeller’s famous
Pocantico Hills estate outside New York
City, Rockefeller first introduced the
idea of the commission at an annual meeting of
the Bilderberg group, this one
held in Knokke, Belgium in the spring of 1972.
The Bilderberg group is similar to
the Trilateral Commission in that
it is funded and heavily influenced by the
Rockefeller empire, and composed of
international financiers, industrialists, media
magnates, union bosses, academics and political
figures.
However, the much older Bilderberg group’s
membership is strictly limited to participants
from the United States,
Canada and Western Europe:
i.e. the NATO alliance.
The Trilateral Commission was
unique, though, in that it brought the
Japanese ruling elite into the inner
councils of the global power brokers, a
recognition of Japan’s growing
influence in the world economic and political
arena.
RULING CLASSES UNITE
"The
Commission’s purpose is to
engineer an enduring partnership among the
ruling classes of North America,
Western Europe and Japan
-- hence the term ’Trilateral’ -- in
order to safeguard the interests of Western
capitalism in an explosive world. The
private commission is attempting to mold
public policy and construct a framework for
international stability in the coming
decades.
"To put it simply, Trilateralists are
saying: The people, governments and
economies of all nations must serve the
needs of multinational banks and
corporations.
"In short, Trilateralism is the
current attempt by ruling elites to manage
both dependence and democracy -- at home and
abroad."
Another
Trilateral critic,
now-retired Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.),
views the commission as a Rockefeller
family operation through and through. According
to Goldwater:
"The
Trilateral organization created by
David Rockefeller was a surrogate --
the members selected by Rockefeller, its
purposes defined by Rockefeller, its funding
supplied by Rockefeller. David
Rockefeller screened and selected every
individual who was invited to participate."
PICKING
POLICYMAKERS
David Rockefeller and Brzezinski
then began the process of selecting from among
the "Trilateral" nations
the several hundred elite power brokers who
would be permitted to join in Trilateral
policymaking in the coming years.
One of the commission’s primary goals was to
place a Trilateral-influenced president in the
White House in 1976, and to
achieve that goal it was necessary to groom an
appropriate candidate who would be willing to
cooperate with Trilateral aims.
Rockefeller and Brzezinski
selected a handful of well-known liberal
Democrats and a scattering of
Republicans (primarily of the
liberal-internationalist bent) to serve on the
commission.
And in an effort to give regional balance to the
commission Rockefeller invited the
then-obscure one-term Democratic governor of
Georgia, Jimmy Carter, to join the
commission.
ROCKEFELLER CENTER SOUTH
Rockefeller had longtime ties to the
local Atlanta political and economic
Establishment. In fact, much of Rockefeller’s
personal investment portfolio is in Atlanta real
estate. (According to David Horowitz,
co-author of The Rockefellers, "Atlanta
is Rockefeller Center South.")
And Rockefeller himself had once even
invited Carter to dine with him at the
Chase Manhattan Bank several years
before, as early as 1971, the year Carter
began serving as governor.
Carter very definitely impressed
Rockefeller and Brzezinski, more so
than another Southern Democrat, Florida Gov.
Reuben Askew, also selected to serve on the
commission and viewed, like Carter, as a
possible Trilateral candidate.
In fact, according to Brzezinski,
"It was a close
thing between Carter and Askew,
but we were impressed that Carter had
opened up trade offices for the state of
Georgia in Brussels and Tokyo. That seemed
to fit perfectly into the concept of the
Trilateral."
Carter, in
fact, like Askew, did announce for the
1976 Democratic presidential nomination, but
because of Rockefeller’s interest,
Carter had the inside shot.
So much so that in a speech at the commission’s
first annual meeting in Kyoto, Japan in May
of 1975, Rockefeller’s man
Brzezinski promoted the then-still obscure
Carter to his fellow Trilateralists
as an ideal presidential candidate.
CUT AND DRIED
From that point on, it was all cut and dried.
According to Goldwater:
"Rockefeller
and Brzezinski found Carter to
be their ideal candidate. They helped him
win the Democratic nomination and the
presidency.
"To accomplish this purpose they mobilized
the money-power of the Wall Street
bankers, the intellectual influence of
the academic community -- which is
subservient to the wealth of the great
tax-free foundations -- and the media
controllers represented in the membership of
the CFR and the
Trilateralists."
The aforementioned
Council on Foreign Relations -- is
another Rockefeller-financed foreign
policy pressure group similar to the
Trilateralists and the Bilderberg group,
although the CFR is composed
solely of American citizens.
In his book The Carter Presidency and Beyond,
published in 1980 by the Ramparts Press,
Prof. Laurence H. Shoup devotes an entire
chapter to demonstrating how the
Trilateral-linked and
Trilateral-controlled Establishment media
promoted the presidential candidacy in 1976 of
the then-obscure Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter.
Carter, of course, campaigned as a
"populist" -- as a "man of the people" -- as an
"outsider" with no ties to the Establishment.
The fact is, however, Carter, who said
he’d never lie, was an elitist, an insider, the
Trilateral Commission’s "man on
the white horse."
And with the power of the commission and the
Rockefeller empire and its media influence
behind him, Carter made his way to the
presidency, establishing the first
full-fledged Trilateral administration,
appointing numerous Trilateralists to key
policymaking positions and carrying out the
Trilateral agenda to the hilt.
The Trilateral Commission: A Council on Foreign
Relations Front Organization
Source:
Roundtable Website
Monday, March 15,
1999, an AP article titled "Trilateral
Commission reaches out to others," was
published on the Tampa Bay Tribune
website. The article is about the Council on
Foreign Relations -- the real story is hidden
between the lines.
The Trilateral Commission is a Council
on Foreign Relations front organization,
established to influence American foreign
policy, and facilitate Council on Foreign
Relations expansion into Europe, Canada and
Japan. The Council on Foreign Relations uses
front organizations to protect it from
connection to illegalities that could lead to a
Congressional investigation.
Recent economic upheavals in the Far East and
Russia have made them ripe for Council on
Foreign Relations expansion. Chinese,
Korean, Russian, and Ukrainian movers and
shakers were invited to the Trilateral
Commission meeting to participate in
"discussion-groups." The material generated will
be used to prepare propaganda designed to
influence United States national policy makers
to support foreign policy favorable to
Council on Foreign Relations controlled
corporate expansion into those nations, and
manipulate United States public opinion to favor
those policies.
The Trilateral Commission was not the
first front organization used to cover-up
Council on Foreign Relations manipulation of
U.S. foreign policy concerning Russia and the
Far East. In 1951 a Senate Judiciary
Subcommittee on Internal Security, known as the
McCarren Committee, investigated another
Council on Foreign Relations front organization,
the American Institute of Pacific Relations,
for its role in controlling and coordinating
actions favorable to the Soviet Union, the
expansion of international communism, and the
loss of China to the Communists.
The Council on Foreign Relations
established the American Institute of Pacific
Relations in 1925. Morgan and Rockefeller
controlled Wall Street interests, foundations ,
and corporations closely allied to them
(including Standard Oil, International Telephone
and Telegraph, and Chase National Bank) provided
the funding. The Institute influenced United
States policy towards Russia, China, and Japan,
and helped establish Council on Foreign
Relations controlled corporations in these
areas.
The McCarren Committee never investigated
the Council on Foreign Relations. The
investigation created a battle between the
"Left" and the "Right" over communism, that
still serves to confuse Americans to this day,
and divert attention from the organization
responsible for the problems-- the Council on
Foreign Relations.
The article quotes Paul Volcker. The
article tells us the Trilateral Commission
was founded by David Rockefeller. The article
doesn’t mention Volcker and Rockefeller are
Council on Foreign Relations members. Or,
that Council on Foreign Relations members
Zbigniew Brzezinski, and Jimmy Carter
helped Rockefeller found the Trilateral
Commission.
The article tells us,
"The commission,
founded 26 years ago by banker David
Rockefeller, includes more than 300 mostly
private citizens from the United States,
Canada, Europe and Japan."
The article warps
the truth by failing to mention that over 90% of
the members are American citizens that belong to
the Council on Foreign Relations.
Council membership is by invitation only,
and restricted to American citizens. The
Trilateral Commission is an inner circle of
Council on Foreign Relations members. The
RoundTable website contains a 1992 list of
Trilateral Commission members. It contains 337
names, 316 are found on various Council on
Foreign Relations (1992, 1990, 1988, 1987,
1985, and 1984) membership lists. The other 21
people are either Americans not found on these
Council on Foreign Relations rosters, or are
European and Japanese members.
The Council on Foreign Relations
operates by influencing public opinion. Well
planned psycho-political operations are focused
at influential decision makers. The operations
manipulate decision makers to influence national
policy to maximize Council member controlled
industry profits. Council member controlled
medicine, munitions, media, banking, energy, and
food industries profit most during periods of
unrest and war.
The current plan to bomb Serbia, is the latest
example of this sort of Council on Foreign
Relations psycho-political operation. On
March 18th, Council on Foreign Relations member
Madeleine Albright announced,
"..if Belgrade
doesn’t reverse course the Serbs alone will
be responsible for the consequences and I
would like to remind President Milosevic
that NATO stands ready to take
whatever measures are necessary."
As we all know, in
Council on Foreign Relations members
Albright and Clinton’s book that means bombing
the Serbs. Increasingly, it appears, key members
of Congress are beginning to suspect that they
have been lied to by the Clinton White House
and are showing signs of real concern that the
entire nation is about to become perpetrators of
an attack upon a sovereign nation that could
involve not peacekeeping but guerrilla warfare.
Council on Foreign Relation member Clinton’s
Whitehouse contains 300 or more Council on
Foreign Relations members he appointed to the
CIA, NSC, State Department, and other
agencies. Whose orchestrating the lying,
Albright, Clinton, the Clinton Whitehouse,
or the Council on Foreign Relations?
The psycho-political operations are developed
through "discussion-groups." Council members
attending the "discussion-groups" study
different policy issues exploring and presenting
divergent views. The discussion is recorded and
a digest of the discussion is produced. The
material is used to create news articles and
essays designed to appeal to well targeted
influential decision makers in diplomacy and
international relations.
The Council on
Foreign Relations member controlled media
industry broadcasts the propaganda.
"Discussion-group" sessions are closed to news
coverage, but are attended by Council on
Foreign Relations members who are prominent
news and media figures. Security is usually
tight, keeping the general public and news media
out of the discussion, and identifying,
photographing, adding as many "outsiders" as
possible who do show up, to a list of potential
"security" threats.
Any connections to the Council on Foreign
Relations are edited out of the "news."
Council on Foreign Relations success is largely
due to keeping its identity a secret. Adopting
an organization of overlapping circles helps
them do this. The Trilateral Commission
is one inner circle of Council on Foreign
Relations members used to extend its
influence abroad and to act as a cover to
protect it from the scrutiny of a congressional
investigation.
The Council on Foreign Relations evolved from
the Institute of International Affairs.
British and American branches of the Institute
of International Affairs were established on May
30, 1919, at a meeting in the Hotel Majestic in
Paris, by American and British Paris Peace
Conference delegates who belonged to the
American and British branches of a
secret-organization founded by Cecil Rhodes.
"Discussion-groups" were a Rhodes’
Secret-Society instrument developed and used
to influence public opinion. The Institutes
of International Affairs adopted their use.
"Study-Groups" are formalized
"discussion-groups" used by the Council on
Foreign Relations and its branch
organizations in other nations; Council
controlled think tanks such as,
And, Council
controlled governmental agencies like,
The meetings are
limited to a small group experts. Tight security
is provided. Discussions and material generated
are often classified. The material is used to
produce classified reports and digests meant to
influence select groups of high-ranking public
officials, as well as articles, essays and
stories meant to influence the public to accept
the proposed national policy decisions.
By 1936 Institutes of International Affairs
were established in,
-
Canada
-
Australia
-
New Zealand
-
South Africa
-
India
-
Newfoundland
Each Institute ,
under the guise of world peace,
concentrated on influencing national-policy to
achieve unity of all nations under one world
government. By controlling public opinion
tension is created between nations wary of
losing their national identity, mores, and
cultures, resulting in a state of perpetual
warfare used to justify peace-time National
Security Emergency measures and large military
budgets. The groups goal was to maximize
Institute member industry profits by selling
both guns and butter. Could the reason famous
economist John Kenneth Galbraith has never
written a book exposing the Council on
Foreign Relations effect on the economy
because Galbraith , is a Council on Foreign
Relations member?
In 1918 a group of international lawyers and
high-ranking officers of banking, manufacturing,
trading and financing companies, headed by
Theodore Roosevelt’s Secretary of State Elihu
Root, founded the Council on Foreign
Relations. Its purpose was to promote
commerce through contact with distinguished
foreign visitors.
After returning from
the Paris Peace conference the American
Institute of International Affairs approached
the Council on Foreign Relations and proposed a
merger. On July 29, 1921, the American
Institute of International Affairs merged
with the Council on Foreign Relations
adopting their name. The new Council on
Foreign Relations adopted the American
Institute of International Affairs policy --
unity of all nations under one world
government.
In 1925 ten independent national councils
holding territory in the Pacific Area were
created to extend the influence of the Royal
Institute of International Affairs and
Council on Foreign Relations into Russia and
the Far East. Institutes of Pacific Relations
were established in an interlocking fashion with
four existing Institutes of International
Affairs (Britain, Canada, Australia, New
Zealand) and the Council on Foreign Relations in
the United States.
Institutes of
Pacific Relations were established in five
additional countries:
-
1. China
-
2. Japan
-
3.
France
-
4. the
Netherlands
-
5. the
Soviet Union
By 1939 the
Institutes of Pacific Relations in the four
British areas had merged with the local
Institutes of International affairs. The
American Institute of Pacific Relations remained
a Council on Foreign Relations front
organization until it was eventually dissolved
after the McCarren Committee
investigation in 1951. The Institutes of
Pacific Relations held joint meetings every
two years.
The Pacific Council was a seven member
Institute of Pacific Relations inner circle set
up in 1927. Members of the four Commonwealth
Institutes of Pacific Relations (Britain,
Canada, Australia, New Zealand) also belonged to
the Institute of International Affairs.
The other three members belonged to the Chinese,
Japanese, and American Institutes of Pacific
Relations. Greene had attended the Paris
Peace Conference, and after the conference
was one of the early figures in the
establishment of the Council on Foreign
Relations. The Pacific Council
planned and coordinated psycho-political
operations designed to achieve the unity of all
nations under one world government. One
operation focused on extending the organizations
influence and control throughout the League
of Nations.
The annual Trilateral Commission meeting
in Washington DC, is nothing more than a
Council on Foreign Relations discussion group.
Influential European, Canadian, and Japanese
citizens were invited to join the Trilateral
Commission so that they could help shape
United States Foreign policy and participate in
the profits of Council on Foreign Relations
controlled Companies in their nations. Now, the
Trilateral Commission is inviting
Chinese, Korean, Russian, and Ukrainian movers
and shakers to join in discussions that will be
used to create psycho-political operations to
influence United States Foreign policy allowing
the Council on Foreign Relations to
establish and control corporations is their
countries.
If any wrong-doings resulting from the
psycho-political operations are discovered
Congress will focus their investigation on the
Trilateral Commission and not the
Council on Foreign Relations. If such an
investigation does take place, you will find, as
in past congressional investigations, such as
the Rockefeller Commission , the
Church Committee, the Warren Commission,
and the Tower Commission, that many of
the Congressional investigators are members of
the Council on Foreign Relations.
When the investigators, and those investigated,
are closely connected, and the investigators
don’t disqualify themselves because of prejudice
or personal interest, hasn’t a crime called
conspiracy to obstruct justice been committed?
If the investigators are high-ranking public
officials aren’t the crimes high crimes, that
call for impeachment and trial before Congress?
Have you requested your elected representatives
to call for a Congressional investigation of the
Council on Foreign Relations?
FYI: Can any of you speak Greek? A friend
sent a link to a website about Athanasios
Strigas. The website seems to be a work in
progress. The website says,
" Athanasios
Strigas is an agent of NATO and the
Trilateral Commission and has written
more than 8 big books about the
Trilateral Commission and the politics
in general...His books are written in Greek
and are related mainly to the connection and
the involvement of the Bilderberg Club
in the Greek politics and political events
(Turkish invasion in Cyprus, Military junta
etc.). Nevertheless they give very much
information on the Trilateral Commission,
Bilderberg Club, NSA, NATO
and the secret agencies."
