The World's Secret Rulers Are Coming To Town

Or are they? Tom Prendeville takes a look at the shadowy ‘Trilateral Commission’ and ponders: is it, despite its protestations, a sinister ‘world government’ in disguise?

The Trilateral Commission is coming to Dublin on May 7th for their annual three-day World Conference.

Long accused of being a shadow world government, the Trilateral Commission is top-heavy with global bankers, multi-national corporations, media barons and government heavyweights such as ex-President George Bush Senior, Dick Cheney and Alan Greenspan.

The secretive organization has a membership of 390, including several Irish members, including Peter Sutherland who is listed as the European Chairman.

Other Irish members include: Senator Richard Conroy; the former Governor of Bank of Ireland, Richard Burrows; and Dermot Gleeson, who is the former Chairman of the AIB Bank. Past members include John Bruton, Mary Robinson and Garret FitzGerald.

According to critics, the Trilateral Commission advocates a One World Government.

Founded in 1973 by billionaire David Rockefeller, its first director was Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter, co-chairman of the Bush National Security Advisory Task Force and the mastermind behind Barack Obama’s meteoric rise to the office of Presidency.

However, alarm bells started to ring about the Trilaterals from the word go, when Zbigniew Brzeninski advocated a post-democratic world run by a select elite. “The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society,” he said. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values.”

The deeply conservative Senator Barry Goldwater, who ran unsuccessfully for the US Presidency in 1964, later warned: “The Trilateral Commission is international and is intended to be the vehicle for multi-national consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government. The Trilateral Commission represents a skilful, co-ordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centres of power – political, monetary, intellectual and ecclesiastical.”

Stung by the chorus of criticism it has attracted over the years, the organization now claims on its website that it has no hidden agenda to rule the world.
