Speaking of his Trilateral Commission’s influence in the original creation of the European Union, David Rockefeller wrote in 1998,
“Back in the early Seventies, the hope for a more united EUROPE was already full-blown – thanks in many ways to the individual energies previously spent by so many of the Trilateral Commission’s earliest members.” [Capitals in original] (Rockefeller, David; In the Beginning; The Trilateral Commission at 25, 1998, p.11)
Some argued that “that was then and this is now,” and that the Commission’s influence had waned with the passing of the older generation.
Nonsense. It was Trilateral Commissioner Vallery d’Estaing who authored the EU’s Constitution in 2002 – 2003 when he was President of the Convention on the Future of Europe.
On November 10, 2011, Robert Wenzel, Editor & Publisher of the Economic Policy Journal, wrote the following short report:
And the Big Time Banksters Come Marching In
“Here’s what you need to know about the current crisis in the Eurozone. The big time banksters are getting direct hands on control:
“Mario Drgahi has become president of the European Central Bank as of November 1. He was vice chairman and managing director of Goldman Sachs International and a member of the firm-wide management committee. He was the Italian Executive Director at the World Bank. He has been a Fellow of the Institute of Politics at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.
“Lucas Papademos takes over today as Prime Minister of Greece. He was an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. He was a visiting professor of public policy at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. And, he was previously a vice president of the European Central Bank. He has been a member of the Trilateral Commission since 1998.
“Indications are that Mario Monti will succeed Silvio Berlusconi as prime minister of Italy, within in days. Monti completed graduate studies at Yale University, where he studied under James Tobin (see the Tobin Tax). He is a member of the European Commission. He is European Chairman of the Trilateral Commission and and member of the Bilderberg Group.
“If you get the sense that the elitist banksters are going to take this financial crisis and push it in whatever direction they want, you are probably very right.”
As you can see, little has changed since 1973, and the same Trilateral Commission membership keeps popping up in the most hallowed positions of power and influence. The Commission’s defense is that it was simply coincidental for their members to be picked for various high-level positions because of their superior talents and abilities. This is not hearsay: I have had this spoken directly to me by members of the Commission.
Considering that the membership hovers around 300 – 350 at any given time, it is statistically impossible that they could have been randomly picked at such a high frequency over such a long period of time. In the U.S. alone since 1973, Commission members held
- 8 out of 10 U.S. Trade Representative appointments
- 6 our of 8 World Bank presidencies
- 6 out of 7 President/Vice President elections
Could any sane person think that they Trilaterals just stumbled into all of these positions? Of course not.
The historical evidence declares that the Trilateral Commission hijacked the global political system for the exact purposes it stated in 1973. That is, to “foster a New International Economic Order.”
Just who rules the world economy?
When Antony Sutton and myself studied the Trilateral Commission in 1978, one analytical technique we used was a derivative of sociology called “network topology.” We assembled names of directors, executives and major shareholders of companies associated with the Trilaterals and then diagrammed them to show overlaps and other non-obvious associations. Our results were stunning. We found a tight interlocking network that was far stronger than a bunch of independent companies. In graphical form, the network was clearly visible. (See Trilaterals Over Washington, Volume I)
Recently, three researchers in Switzerland (S. Vitali, J.B. Glattfelder, and S. Battiston) have released a similar and modern study called “The network of global corporate control.” In the abstract they state,
“We find that transnational corporations form a giant bow-tie structure and that a large portion of control flows to a small tightly-knit core of financial institutions. This core can be seen as an economic “super-entity” that raises new important issues both for researchers and policy makers.”
This is an understatement. In Table S1 buried in the appendix, they list the “top 50 control-holders,” where shareholders are ranked according to their level of network control. These are the companies who comprise the inner-core of global control.
Of the 50 companies, 45 are banks, insurance or other financial institutions. From the U.S. we see the usual: State Street, JP Morgan Chase, B of A, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and others.
In short, this core of banks/financials are the real rulers of the world economy. There is no speculation here: This is hard and compelling evidence.
This is also the exact same conclusion that Sutton and I reached in 1978 with more rudimentary, non-computerized analysis.
The report concludes,
“This is the first time a ranking of economic actors by global control is presented. Notice that many actors belong to the financial sector (NACE codes starting with 65,66,67) and many of the names are well-known global players. The interest of this ranking is not that it exposes unsuspected powerful players. Instead, it shows that many of the top actors belong to the core. This means that they do not carry out their business in isolation but, on the contrary, they are tied together in an extremely entangled web of control. This finding is extremely important since there was no prior economic theory or empirical evidence regarding whether and how top players are connected. Finally, it should be noted that governments and natural persons are only featured further down in the list.” [emphasis added]
Zbigniew Brzezinski, co-founder of the Trilateral Commission with David Rockefeller in 1973, summed up the “network” in his 1970 Between Two Ages: America’s Role in the Technetronic Era:
“The nation-state as a fundamental unit of man’s organized life has ceased to be the principal creative force: International banks and multinational corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in advance of the political concepts of the nation-state.” [emphasis added]
Unfortunately, this is the reality of the matter. With international banks at the center and various multinational companies in the periphery, the network continues to dominate and control the course of world events. The citizens of the respective countries are little more than objects to be taxed and manipulated.
In Europe, the financial demise of Italy and Greece threatens to melt down the European region, if not the entire global economy. That Trilateral bankers Papademos and Monti, respectively, would take the helm as Prime Minister of their own nation-state should be likened to be a receivership move designed to protect the assets of the banks (the “Network”) they represent. If nothing else, it certainly shows that the Trilateral hegemony over Europe is alive and well.
Until this hegemony is somehow dissolved, the game of national political elections (In the U.S. or Europe) is largely an exercise in futility. Electors are simply deceived when they fail to recognize and address the real power behind the political/economic system.
great post!!
I have a folder with August Review articles from over the rears. I have read a few books on this subject as well. What is really scary is the fact that comatose citizens of this country have had their hard drives programmed with everything but the truth of how this country is owned and run by ruling bloodline banking families. My God, if having a fake president who never made change from a kool-aid stand isn’t proof that the president doesn’t control anything then there is no hope for the fake news watching dopes in this country.
Thanks Stan, do you feel like you are living like the main character in Invasion of the Body Snatchers? The guy is trying to alert people about the Pod People and he just gets blank stares or like the eloi in The Time Machine. I believe a huge event is coming to amerikah soon. I was told by a very studied person 20 years ago that when the public starts reading and learning about the NWO, the NWo would make a huge move to finish their plans. Maybe it’s just know starting with the OWS useful idiots otherwise know as TURDS (Totally Useless Radicalized Deranged Socialist’s). One of my rants is that the government schools don’t teach a dollar’s worth of information as to how the banking elite run the gangsterment. Never once does anyone in the fake news ask who Greenspan, Bernake, or Geitner work for. It’s against Federal Law for the citizens to know who owns them as debt slaves the second they are born. Our citizens live in a controlled vaccum and the test results are all in now with country bankrupt beyond any known math. One last question, are you Dr. Stan from Monterey, Ca?
Absolutely spot on Craig. Because the Global threat is complex in length, breadth and depth,I would suggest the following simplified format to enable the ‘comotose’ citizens to get a clearer “picture” of the historical facts and truth behind their respective governments, and learn who actually controls them.
This may appear oversimplified & silly, but it is effective for those who cannot think outside the box.
Picture our global dilema as a (very) large jigsaw puzzle. A pyramid shaped jigsaw puzzle if you will,with the global elite at the top of the pyramid and the worker(s) ants at the bottom with the middle class in between.
First (research) locate and identify the key pieces.
Here are some of the key pieces to (google) look for;
Rothschild Dynasty. Morgan/Warburg,Rockefeller Banking.Federal Reserve origins. CFR/Trilateral Commission. Bilderberg Group-remember to search the membership rosters of these organizations for familiar names. The UN.IMF.NWO.Agenda 21. Socialist indoctrination in US schools & Colleges.Read material written by any of the following; Dr. Edwin Vieira, Stanley Monteith, Patrick Wood, G.Edward Griffin, Tom DeWeese, Michael Coffman and Chuck Baldwin. Sustainable Developement. Eugenics and let’s not forget George Soros!
One does not need a College degree in putting these pieces together. Just a little discernment perhaps, and patiently follow the links and connect the dots.
It has taken me about three years, via research, to learn exactly what the global elitist agenda is. I’m from the UK and I knew nothing about American political History till around 2008. I did two semesters in College and dropped out because I could not afford to continue further, so exceptional intellectual abilities and an Ivy– League education are not needed to find these answers.
However, an enquiring mind and a good deal of patience are needed if you really want to find the right answers.
All of what is said here is true. But just what can the average person do about it?
Start a knowledge revolution. Take papers like this, print them, and give them out everywhere. Ask people to “prove this guy wrong.” Go to public meetings and “stir the pot”. Fight local programs like Agenda 21, ICLEI, Smart Growth, Smart Meters, etc. Stick to the issues alone, not personalities.
be a sign post to others, when more are educated..,we push beack
Education and God are the answers. For many of us our reach is not large, but still we have to spread the truth of what is happening! Join with others, spread the word via any agency you have available… e-mail, news sites, Facebook, speak out at the meat counter in the grocery store! We all have a voice and so many know there is a problem but not where it comes from! Educate them. And Pray!
What does god have to do with anything . it is irrelevant ‚where was he in ww2 when all those people went to death camps ??? and so on. no offence intended
No offense meant, Ken but your comment, “What does god have to do with anything?” is a question that many struggle with and turn away from seeking the True and Living God, not the little god of this world. The ‘ruler of this world’ is the entity who showed the Son of God all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, and said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will. If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.” When the Son of God refused, the ‘ruler of this world departed from him until a more opportune time. Read the gospel of Luke.
Order from Chaos, Ordo ab Chaos. Chaos increases and so soon will be the rising of ‘die Schwarze Sonne’, the Black Sun.
Thanks, Patrick. Excellent work.
Monteith’s ‘Brotherhood of Darkness’, Flynn’s ‘The Hope of the Wicked’, and Estulin’s ‘Bilderbergers’ dissect the intracies of the OWD (Old World Disorder) but say nearly nothing of the 1.7 billion massif of islam. Baldwin, Barnhardt and Jefress have much to to say of the ‘the religion of pieces’.
awl
Yes, and one of my colleagues, Carl Teichrib, is also a very authoritative source on global religion and how it is being used by the global elite. See him at http://www.forcingchange.com
http://www.forcingchange.com has nothing to do with Carl Teichrib, but a “godaddy” website, selling domains or something. What’s the deal?
Mea culpa — it’s http://www.forcingchange.org
Excellent article, Patrick.
UN Agenda 21 is the implementation tool of this New World Order of bankster control. Kind of negates the meaning of Veteran’s Day.….…
Good luck, Comrade.
There is really only one thing to do… everyone, but mostly the middle class citizens, need to withdraw their funds from pensions, investments, 401K’s, banks, etc. Do you realize that if this was accomplished throughout the world, that the markets would tumble and the rich elite would be left with zero wealth. These few rich represent 1% of the world’s population; funds from the 99% are being used to manipulate and control the markets leading to their own greed, interests and wealth.
You will withdraw that money which was created against debt by the same super rich. NO USE!
The control of creating money must be with government represented by the majority of the people. Not a dozen super rich Oligarch Families!!!
Good work Patrick…the Lord’s days are near!
I can remember hearing a UBC professor((that’s University of British Columbia for those who aren’t aware of anything north of the 49th parallel)) talking about the tri lateral commission back in the 60’s or 70’s. His name was Ben Metcalfe. Anyone remember him? I remember saying, tri-who? Many of the movers and shakers in politics were members. USA and Canada. These guys have been shaping our policies and economics for years. These bastards have been operating behind the government scenes for decades. Like snakes, they slither in between the big oil and pharceutical lobbyists. Some were actually elected. Nobody paid any attention to them. Certainly not the media. And certainly not the CBC, overpaid with millions of tax payer dollars.
Now, all we can do is talk, or write about them. They don’t care. That’s how big and powerful they’ve become. They have won this battle. They have all the chips.
It’s all part of something bigger. Get right with God.
Stay Liquid.
Thanks for this. (None dare call it conspiracy. )
They aren’t using “OUR” money for much of anything. It’s THEIR counterfeit money. The whole thing is counterfeit and will be, until they have us all where they want us. Controlled, cashless, compliant, or dead.
Don’t you find it strange that before the truth about the root cause of our problems (NWO) gains any real traction, up pops the OWS movement, which serves to discredit any accusations, even when supported by evidence, that there are Secret Groups behind Wall Street, consisting of Elite Bankers and their NWO cheerleaders. Groups with treasonous self-serving agenda’s, which are a grave threat to our country. Groups which have been accused of assisting/coordinating the 9/11 attack on our country.
They say “truth can be stranger than fiction”, and we all know that once discredited, a truth is generally perceived as fiction. The NWO group with their media tentacles are successfully staying one step ahead of any possible derailment of their agenda, they have been patient and strategic. But now I fear, they are ready to move beyond 9/11 with even bigger things. If they are willing to go the lengths many believe they have gone, don’t you think have contingency plans for those of us that “won’t let it be”. According to web rumor, and quite a bit of verifiable evidence, FEMA will be coming for those of us who are aware and any attempt to prepare can be interpreted as terrorism. A bill is currently in Congress today that will strip citizens of all their Constitutional Rights on the basis of being labeled by the government, a “terrorist”, no evidence required, just 9 little letters next to YOUR name.
Looks like they have all the bases covered…good luck fellow Patriots, we will all need it! Short of electing Ron Paul in a known “fixed” system, and keeping him safe to dismantle their work, “we the people” are not just bankrupt, we lost our country as well.
Great article and if there are any good mathematicians the section of the 3 researchers in Switzerland is compelling.
Here is the failure in America, we did not read and fully understand and apply our Declaration of Independence. If you re-read it again in a new time and read the original draft you can see how Thomas Jefferson never allowed the truths not to be exposed and this is important to get.
This one document is instrumental because it is the whole basis of decision to support life, (what are we?) The constitution is a construct to support Liberty within this document. By this full understanding the perversion of the Constitution is not possible, but take out the 3 principals listed, do not make choices based upon this and Thomas Jefferson’s warnings become in full view. Him and many others were very specific about the Financiers because in their own time they saw and experienced it first hand.
First of all, force is persistence and choice, the more choice persistent in a direction will be dominant. Who are the choice makers of all life? You are, this force as well this fact coupled with understanding in a united direction increases with every decision in the direction.
What is the direction intended by the framers? A Republic, this is where individuals in public are allowed to be heard, to display and perform answers others may use to improve their own lives. Essentially it is Life in support of life but not knowing this makes it hard for life to be in full support of such an activity if all the directions you turn are filled with lies.
This is a very short version and there is more where this came from, but your lesson today is re-read the Declaration of Independence with the stance or understanding as a document of truths to decide from in the direction of a Republic with life supporting life as the acts by each of us.
Learn to decide on such a basis, learn to be entirely persistent and I and others will teach you how to break the backs of Financiers and the lies that have pushed upon you. It is your choice and look around you right now and pick out something that was not achieved by choice, what is it?
Ready up pilgrim we got work to do.
Genuinely,

A Producing American
One of the 613 commandments that the Israelis (Christians incorrectly translate it as Israelites) received from Mt. Sinai is the command that the king shall not have too many horses. The government is permitted to levy taxes so that the king shall have some horses, but not too much. What is too much? The Hebrew Bible explains that if there are two political parties, we are to choose, i.e., vote, for the party advocating lower taxes. This is clarified by what happened after King Solomon died, when his successor had to choose between two parties. One party consisted of wise people advocating lower taxes, and the other “childish” party high taxes. The king chose the higher taxes with catastrophic results. The Torah says we have a choice between good and evil, and commands us to choose (vote) the good. The Bible is as clear and explicit as possible in urging voting for Republicans.
Of course, Jews traditionally have supported Democrats. Jews are stubborn. During the time of Moses, the Israelis wanted to return to statist Egypt, where the government gave them their basic food and other needs. Moses was so exasperated that he wanted to resign his leadership, saying, “Remove me from your book!” Today Jews encourage voting Democrats saying a Jewish obligation is “Tikun Olam”. We Jews accept the idea that the best way to help the world is to follow Torah principles, not Progressivism. Limited central government is a fundamental Torah idea, as Samuel explained in his sermon against the establishment of a monarchy. The Talmud clarifies this further, saying the highest form of charity is helping someone help themselves. Progressivism thwarts this, while limited government with maximum freedom helps people help themselves.
See the new book Rational Thinking, Government Policies, Science, and Living. Rational thinking starts with clearly stated principles, continues with logical deductions, and then examines empirical evidence to possibly modify the principles.
