Summary:
http://www.gnn.tv/headlines/2454/Media_Blackout_on_Trilaterals
Bilderberg and the Trilateral Commission have interlocking leadership and a
common agenda. David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger are leaders of both
groups. The Trilaterals’ European chairman, Peter Sutherland, head of
Goldman-Sachs International, is also a Bilderberg leader. Former House
Speaker Tom Foley is the TC’s North American chairman.
“The Trilateral Commission’s meetings have inspired conspiracy theories of
powerful puppeteers who secretly pull the strings of world power as they
seek to establish a new world order,” the Times story said. “The theories
are based partly on fact.”

Secretive Commission Meets to Talk War, Trade
Both Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld
reassured members of the Trilateral Commission, meeting in Washington April
15-18, that they anticipated no invasion of Iran. Rumsfeld further assured
Trilateralists that Iraq “will not be another Vietnam” with “combat troops
on patrol 10 years from now,” Trilateral sources said.
However, they stressed the qualification “combat patrol,” indicating that
troops may remain for logistical duties.
Logistical duties can turn into combat with a single shot. Both Cheney and
Rumsfeld are old-timers with international power groups. As secretary of
defense under President Bush the Elder, Cheney participated in the annual
closed meetings of the Trilaterals.
Rumsfeld has participated with the Trilaterals and its brother group,
Bilderberg, as a White House aide under President Ronald Reagan and as
defense secretary under the current President Bush.
Bilderberg and the Trilateral Commission have interlocking leadership and a
common agenda. David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger are leaders of both
groups. The Trilaterals’ European chairman, Peter Sutherland, head of
Goldman-Sachs International, is also a Bilderberg leader. Former House
Speaker Tom Foley is the TC’s North American chairman.
Appearances by Cheney, Rumsfeld and other administration officials were
viewed as top secret. The appearances were not listed on their public
schedules, not even as involving a “private group.” There were no
transcripts available, which is routine in normal functions.
The U.S. invasion of Iraq created the first serious dissent among
participants from the United States and Europe in both the Trilateral
Commission and Bilderberg. On all other major issues, including empowering
the United Nations to directly tax the citizens of the world as a crucial
enhancement of its evolving as a world government, both groups are united
and collaborating.
Cheney spoke on “policy directions for the U.S. administration” on April 16.
Rumsfeld addressed the 300 Trilaterals shortly before they headed for the
airports Monday afternoon.
Paul Wolfowitz, deputy secretary of defense and president-elect of the World
Bank, addressed the TC’s dinner meeting April 17. Wolfowitz assured everyone
that the United States would be a “willing partner” in helping “developing
nations” enhance their economies, meaning more American tax dollars would be
shipped to poor countries.
Following Cheney’s speech on opening day, David Gergen provided an “analysis
of the American electorate.” He warned that “nationalism” remains a strong
force in America and selling the idea of surrendering sovereignty to the UN
will be difficult. In TC and Bilderberg dictionaries,“nationalism” is an
obscenity.
Gergen is professor of public service at the John Kennedy School of
Government, Harvard University. He is of no fixed ideology. Gergen voted for
Hubert Humphrey in 1968 but worked for President Richard Nixon and later for
President Bill Clinton.
“The rise of China and its impact on global governance” was the subject of a
panel led by Yotaro Kobayashi, TC’s Pacific Asian chairman.
Other panelists were Ren Xaio, director of the Department of Asian-Pacific
Studies at the Shanghai Institute for International Studies, and Yuan Ming,
director of the Institute for International Relations at Peking University.
They discussed a prospective “Asian-Pacific Union” similar to the European
Union and the evolving “American Union” as NAFTA expands throughout the
Western Hemisphere. The dollar is to be the common currency of the “American
Union.”
It has long been the Bilderberg-TC goal to divide the world into three great
regions for the administrative convenience of the world government.
Kissinger participated in a panel on “searching for a new Trilateral
partnership.” Bill Emmott, editor of The Economist of London, joined a
discussion on “community building in East Asia, holding his vows of secrecy
loftier than his duty as a journalist. Thomas Pickering of the Boeing Co.
participated in a panel on “understanding the Muslim world.”
Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan addressed the Trilaterals on the
subject “resolving global currency and trade conflicts.” Greenspan suggested
that it would be difficult to increase the U.S. income tax in the “current
political atmosphere in Washington.” He said interest rates would gradually
rise.
The only other coverage of the meeting appeared in The Washington Times.
Reporter Joseph Curl overheard Francois Sauzey of Paris, a member of the TC
staff, complain that “Everyone’s beating up on France because of the coming
referendum.”
Sauzey was referring to several polls in France that indicate voters will
reject the proposed European Union constitution, a reversal of public
sentiment. If just one nation rejects it, the constitution dies.
An internal TC document obtained by AFP said “Europeans must be more
explicit, privately if not publicly, in committing themselves to sanctions
if Iran resumes its uranium enrichment program. For its part, the U.S. needs
to engage the Iranians not just on the economic front but also on questions
of regional security.”
Israel is pressing the United States to attack Iran, which has missiles that
can strike Israel.
The document was produced by the Center for Strategic and International
Studies in Washington. It was authored by Giuliano Amato, former prime
minister of Italy; Harold Brown, secretary of defense under President Jimmy
Carter; Carla Hills, U.S. trade representative under President George H. W.
Bush; and George Robertson, former secretary-general of NATO and long-time
Bilderberg luminary.
“When both the U.S. and Europe face profound economic challenges from China,
India and other rising economies, a high-level political commitment at the
U.S.-EU summit in June to reduce regulatory and other non-tariff barriers to
transatlantic trade and investment could bring long-term improvements to the
competitiveness and growth of the U.S. and European economies,” the document
said.
“Summit” was probably a reference to the Group of Eight meeting of heads of
state from the industrialized nations, scheduled July 6-7 (not June) at the
Gleneagles resort in Scotland.
Another internal document, obtained by the Times, was entitled “Trilateral
Memorandum No. 8” and dealt with the continuing skirmish between Japan and
China. It was issued by Akira Kojima, a TC member and chairman of the Japan
Center for Economic Research in Tokyo. Relations soured because of
revisionist Japanese textbooks that China claims fails to address atrocities
committed in World War II. Kojima appears to share China’s views. He wrote:
“Japan still has a history of [government] textbook approval, and this
misguided system is at the root of these unnecessary misunderstandings and
must be abolished.”
The memo called Japan’s prime minister, Junichiro Koizumi, “a peculiar
character in that he is basically stubborn. If he is criticized for one
thing, he intentionally sticks to it and repeats it.”
This year, the Trilaterals returned to their earlier policy of trying to
keep their gathering secret. Its Washington office angrily refused to say
when and where they would meet.
The huge staff refused to provide papers and the only working journalist on
the scene was under constant surveillance.
“The Trilateral Commission’s meetings have inspired conspiracy theories of
powerful puppeteers who secretly pull the strings of world power as they
seek to establish a new world order,” the Times story said. “The theories
are based partly on fact.”
