         An introduction to the world we live in - Part one

Turns out it's quite a challenge to write a decent introduction to the information available on this website. The issue at hand is enormously complex and a lot of work still needs to be done. We'll give it a try anyway and discuss the history of the globalist movement, including 19th century Britain, the US, Canada, Israel, the European Union, and the opening up of both Russia and China. In the process we'll determine the absolute core of this globalist network and provide an extensive biography with each name. Then we'll put forth a theory that might explain why ordinary politics and the hidden globalist group go hand-in-hand without the latter being exposed by anyone on "the inside," whatever that means. At the end we'll take a look at who's behind the sustainable development movement and the United Nations while discussing the rather disturbing information that was brought to light by George Hunt in the late 1980s and early 1990s. I suggest you pay attention to the fine print in this article and read the biographies provided, otherwise it will be much more difficult to see how this relatively small group of people are all closely knit together.

The basic premise of this article is that an old boys network of low-profile, privately-funded, and intelligence-ridden institutes exercise a huge amount of influence over local governments, the media, universities (science), and the policies of the multinational corporations (who fund these networks). The names of about 150 of these institutes have been listed in appendix A and about 1400 names plus biographies, ranging from the most complete available to very basic, are available in the different membership lists. A smaller list of globalist institutes are chronologically ordered in Appendix B, together with the persons who founded them and some of the connections they had. Appendix C contains the genealogies of the Rothschild, Warburg, Rockefeller, and Morgan families, which might come in handy at times. A partial Cecil bloodline is also listed there, although, as you'll see, that one has been compiled for a different reason.

Below you can see a simplified sketch of the network that will be discussed. At this point I consider The Pilgrims, Le Cercle, and the 1001 the umbrella organizations, because together they encompass all aspects of the globalist movement: the leadership of all the other private globalist institutes, Anglo-American business and banking, multinationals worldwide (1001), old blue blood family lines, Western and Middle-Eastern intelligence, the illegal arms trade (1), and the environmental movement. If there is a group that keeps these three organizations in line it will exercise a huge amount of direct and indirect influence over many parts of the world. The question is, is there such a group?

       
The Pilgrims Society is the organization which consistently recruits only very elitist members of society, many with nearly endless resumes. Le Cercle is more mixed, but all participants are intelligence insiders. The 1001 Club recruits the most influential businessmen from all over the world, but also some lower level WWF employees. The WWF is very tight-lipped about this club though, as you can see in the 1001 Club article on this website.

In any case, it's abundantly clear that all roads lead to London. All three organizations, the Pilgrims, the 1001, and Le Cercle, have been set up and are managed by a combination of Anglophiles and zionists (2). The Pilgrims were primarily set up by the elite Privy Council and Garter families. In fact, the person who came up with the name 'Pilgrims' was a great grandfather of the late Princess Diana (3). The British monarch became the official head of the Pilgrims Society and members of the royal family have always attended the London meetings. The 1001 Club was mainly created by Prince Philip and the South-African billionaire Anton Rupert. Officially the 1001 only coordinates the WWF, but many members, who represent a huge chunk of the conventional environmental movement, seem more occupied with Anglo-America's need for natural resources. And Le Cercle, a shady international intelligence group, is run by Privy Councilors and Rothschild associates. The latest head of the Cecil family, a Privy Councilor, is also a participant in today's meetings.

Just to clarify a bit: the Privy Council, the most senior advisory body to the queen and the highest organ within the Commonwealth itself, largely serves a ceremonial role these days, at least in Britain itself. On the other hand, it's obvious that only the most trusted aides of the Financial Empire ever receive such an appointment. Members represent high level politics, official and private intelligence, and the senior military positions. Bank of England officials are also quite common in the Privy Council ranks. The Commonwealth consists of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, large chunks of southern Africa, and a few other countries in the rest of the world.

The Order of the Garter is another elitist body about which some confusion exists. It is the highest and oldest order of chivalry (Templar) in England and, as with the Privy Council, only some of the most trusted aides of the Financial Empire are given life membership. I wouldn't put it above or below the earlier mentioned societies. It's just different. And we'll leave it at that.

Where the globalist movement started

Quigley has described how the Round Table, with their main US ally J.P. Morgan, set up the Royal Institute of International Affairs, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Institute for Pacific Relations in the 1918-1925 period, although he seems to have missed the Pilgrims Society, established in 1902 in London and in 1903 in New York. This same Round Table, or wider Pilgrims Society group, also established the Federal Reserve and the Rockefeller Foundation, both in 1913 (all these people can be found in the Pilgrims Society membership list). The Carnegie network, which was (and is) especially influential on the Western educational system, was also set up during this time period, starting with the Carnegie Institution of Washington in 1902, an organization for scientific discovery; the Carnegie Endowment in 1910, which became an intelligence and big business ridden geopolitical think tank for global peace; and the Carnegie Corporation of New York in 1911, which is the grant making part of the Carnegie network. Today this institute donates dozens of millions a year to all the major universities in the United States and southern Africa (16). Grants are also made to organizations like the CFR, the RIIA, the American Assembly, the UN, the American Red Cross, the Museum of Jewish Heritage, and the American Museum of Natural History. Our little Hegelian Social Darwinist (literally), once born in a poor family of handloom weavers, had a very different background than most of his later associates. Around 1870 he already was a wealthy self-made man, but only after some crucial help from the London banker Junius S. Morgan (father J.P. Morgan; worked for George Peabody, who supposedly was a Rothschild agent; after Carnegie's joint venture in the steel industry
went awry due to financial problems of his partners, Peabody finally sold his bonds to "London investors") in 1874, he rose to became the most powerful industrialist of the US, next to J.P. Morgan. His primary associates, who inspired and guided him in the founding of the different Carnegie Institutions, were Daniel Coit Gilman (incorporated Skull & Bones into the Russell Trust 50 years earlier), Nicholas Murray Butler (head of Columbia University; major totalitarian Hegelian US educator; President of the Pilgrims Society; Bohemian Grove; associate of J.P. Morgan and Robert Cecil - 1st Viscount of Chelwood; co-founder League of Nations), and Elihu Root (Pilgrims Society; official founder CFR; close friend of Butler). Of course, even in the early days there existed a wider network of private clubs where society's elite met with each other. The freemasonic lodges had been around for two centuries, just as its Celtic counterpart, the Druid groves. The annual Bohemian Grove event had become an exclusive elite gathering after news of the Cremation of Care reached the papers in Washington and New York at the turn of the 20th century. There was the Cosmos Club in Washington and the very old White's Club in London. At the student level you had clubs like Skull & Bones (Yale), Scroll & Key (Yale), the Porcellian Club (Harvard), Cap & Gown (Princeton), the Ivy Club (Princeton), The Apostles (Cambridge), and the Rhodes scholars (Oxford). There were many more regional clubs where members of the old aristocratic families and the newly rich interacted with each other (and as a result, outside of the clubs). This network was the permanent government of the time; officials only reached the White House if they had enough friends within these circles. And when these people left office again, this network made sure they got another (better paying) job. The tiny group of Round Table financiers; the Warburgs, Jacob Schiff, the Rockefellers, the Morgans, and the Rothschilds, can probably be referred to as the secret government of the time and even today we know very little about the things they discussed in the backrooms. What we do know is that they had (and have) quite an obsession with "global peace" since the early part of the 20th century (17).		Three of the men are confirmed members of the Pilgrims Society. The fourth, Gilman, will undoubtedly turn out to be another one. Especially Butler was a very close associate of the Morgans and Cecils. Update: What did I tell ya? A "Gilman, Daniel C." appears on a 1903 Pilgrims Society list. Thanks, Dave.

Post WWII

During and right after WWII a lot of things changed. The United States, the New Atlantis, according to one early Cecil family associate (18), became the most powerful nation on the planet. The United Nations, the World Bank, the IMF, and NATO were born, all set up by members of the CFR, the RIIA, and its umbrella organization: the Pilgrims Society (19). By this time the Morgan family had lost control of the family bank although it was safely in the hands of the Pilgrims Society members. The Rockefellers now certainly became the undisputed number one family of the United States. Following the overt institutions, their covert counterparts soon followed: the United States Council for International Business in 1945, the Mont Pelerin Society in 1947, Atlantik-Brücke in 1952, Bilderberg in 1954, and followed in the 1960s and 1970s by many dozens of other hidden (as in, not or seldom mentioned in the news or schoolbooks, so their influence on society is for the most part unknown) national and transnational think tanks and discussion groups. The whole globalist movement became much more professional and organized. The Atlantic Institute of International Affairs, the Pinay Circle, the Economic League, the US-USSR Trade and Economic Council, the Trilateral Commission, and the 1001 Club are all examples of enormously influential institutes that seldom (or never) have received any serious attention in the mainstream media.
The Pilgrims: Uniting the Crown with corporate America. Click to enlarge.		Almost everyone believes that the overt organizations have brought us this globalized world we live in today, while in reality it has been the covert network that initiated the process in almost every case. The Pilgrims Society remained one of the most elite gatherings of British and American globalist insiders, although, as the newspaper archives show, it started to drop off the radar screen in the early 1950s and was almost completely gone by the 1960s. Is it possible that Project Mockingbird started to achieve its intended results?

The speed at which the globalization process advanced, further increased in the 1980s and 1990s. The main focus of the globalist movement now became the European Union, where many of the later key institutions were established. Among these were the European Round Table in 1983, the Association for the Monetary Union of Europe from 1987 to 2002, the European Institute in 1987, the EU-Japan Business Roundtable in 1995, the Trans-Atlantic Business Dialogue in 1995, the Centre for European Reform in 1996, Friends of Europe in 1999, and the European Financial Services Round Table in 2001.

A university study in international relations is probably an exception (to some degree), but generally these institutes are not mentioned in the textbooks. The average person, even today, knows very little, if anything, about them. The education system only teaches the public-political side of the European Union: the European Council, the Council of Ministers, the European Parliament, the European Court of Justice, and the European Commission.

The question then becomes, do these private institutions have any influence, and if they do, just how much? Unfortunately, as far as I have seen, the combined influence has never been examined, but about all these institutions individually it has been reported that their influence is quite substantive. For example, the Belgian Jan Puype, the only journalist at the moment who has attended a meeting of the ERT, reported (translated from Dutch) (20):

Puype: "I was a guest at the birthday party of the ERT, which existed 20 years in 2003. That gave a surreal feeling. I was the only journalist and walked between De Benedetti, Davignon, Leysen, Prodi, 'What am I doing here for God's sake', I was thinking. But is was very interesting to see how things were done, of course..."

Solidair: "In your book you describe how ERT-chairman Gerhard Cromme [ThyssenKrupp; CFR] teaches European Commission chairman Romano Prodi a lesson for criticizing the United States."

Puype: "I thought I was hallucinating. Prodi was put in his place like a little kid. It became even more remarkable when the Commission chairman started to speak himself. He held a speech like 'friends, I will not do it again and I will be good from now on'. A completely different Prodi then the man I saw on television raising his finger in the air against the Americans."

"You can't say that the ERT decides everything that happens in Europe, but her influence is enormous... The ERT has a very efficient way of lobbying. The members write papers on the direction Europe should be going in terms of the environment, competition, technology, etc. Once these papers are finished inside the ERT, the machine starts running. The club sends out a team of delegates consisting of the most important members to the European Commission. Individual members take the messages to their national governments. The ERT thinks very pro-active. She is often the first to work on certain issues. That is also her strength. The introduction of the single currency, the Maastricht-Treaty, the Channel Tunnel, or the [EU's] expansion to the east: that all started at the ERT."

Is this surprising? Not really if you look at the founders of the ERT. These were the Belgian catholic Etienne Davignon and the Swedish zionist Pehr Gyllenhammar (21). At that time, Gyllenhammar, who is usually seen as the primary founder, was an 11-year member of the International Advisory Committee of the Rockefeller's Chase Manhattan Bank. Additionally, during the time that Gyllenhammar was busy establishing the ERT, he was approached by Henry Kissinger to join the board of his newly established Kissinger Associates (22). In 1999 Gyllenhammar became a senior partner and managing director of Lazard Partners (after having been a senior advisor since 1996) and today he is vice-chairman of Rothschild Europe, chairman of the Rothschild pension funds, and the founding chairman of the earlier mentioned European Financial Services Round Table. Gyllenhammar is also a member of the advisory board of PlaNet Finance, "an international non profit organization, which aims at alleviating poverty by contributing to the development of the microfinance sector." Other members of the board are Boutros Boutros-Ghali (Secretary-General of the United Nations), Michel David-Weill (owns Lazard), Jacques Delors (former European Commission president; organized The European Institute, headed for the past couple of years by a Rothschild employee (23)), Shimon Peres (premier of Israel 1984-1986 & 1995-1996; Labor party; director of Mikhail Gorbachev's Green Cross, which is partnered with Rockefeller-Rothschild protege and New Age guru Maurice Strong), and Etienne Davignon.

April 6 & 7, 1983, first meeting of the ERT. Gyllenhammar and Davignon are sitting in the bottom row, persons 4 and 5 from the left.

Davignon, as a vice-president of the European Commission, earlier challenged Gyllenhammar to put together a group of top European businessmen to lobby theEuropean Commission (which became the ERT). At some point Davignon became a close friend to Kissinger (24) and also joined the board of Kissinger Associates (25), although seemingly in a later stage. The shortest possible version of Davignon's biography without omitting too many important facts goes something like this: Chair and still vice-chair Société Générale de Belgique; one of the largest private shareholders of the Suez Group (which he does not control); former director Anglo-American Corporation; co-founder and president Association for the Monetary Union of Europe; chairman CSR Europe (European business network); founder EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation; chairman EU-Japan Business Dialogue; co-founder and president Friends of Europe; director of the European Institute; member Council on Foreign Relations; member Trilateral Commission; supposedly a former governor of Ditchley; chairman Royal Institute for International Relations (Belgian version of RIIA); and honorary chairman of Bilderberg since 1999, after Lord Carrington resigned.

Now wait a minute. Carrington was another ultra-connected early director of Kissinger Associates (26). That means we have two heads of Bilderberg, covering the period from 1989 until today, that sat on the board of Kissinger's shadowy company. And whatta ya know? Lord Roll, Bilderberg chairman from 1985 to 1989 was another board member of Kissinger Associates since 1984 (27). You almost get the impression that Kissinger and his closest associates (Rockefeller and Rothschild) pick the leadership of Bilderberg. The short version of Carrington's bio, a president of the Pilgrims Society since 1983, reads: Director Rio Tinto (used to be a Rothschild company. Don't know today), Barclays Bank, Hollinger (Owned by Canadian Privy Councilor Conrad Black; Evelyn de Rothschild sat on the same board, as did Kissinger and many other very important globalists), a few metal companies, and Hambros Bank; Privy Councilor; Order of the Garter; insider of Brian Crozier's (Le Cercle; disinfo specialist and MI6 agent) Shield Committee that got Margaret Thatcher elected; governor Ditchley; governor Atlantic Institute for International Affairs; member RIIA; member CFR; member Trilateral Commission; and secretary-general NATO. The biography of Lord Eric Roll reads: Rockefeller fellowship; took part in the Schuman Plan discussions; worked at the OECD, the IMF, and the World Bank; co-head S.G. Warburg & Company (set up and headed by Pilgrims Society member Sir Siegmund Warburg. The firm was the London partner of Kuhn, Loeb & Co); advisor UBS; member Court of the Bank of England; governor Atlantic Institute for International Affairs; Governor Ditchley; member CFR; member Trilateral Commission (and almost certainly a member of the Pilgrims Society).

Some of today's most important globalists. Click on a name to view their biography. These bios have been compiled by PEHI and are (by far) the most complete available today. Agnelli, recruited early on by the Rockefellers (like everyone in this row except seemingly Davignon), has been followed up by John Elkann.

Now you know immediately why I created the images above and below. The biographies of these people are just way too long, because they constitute the absolute core of the globalist movement. Some created many of the post-WWII private institutions, like new ager Maurice Strong (chairman Société Générale pour l'Energie et les Ressources; 1001 Club; UN secretary-general; long time close ties to communist China; Rockefeller protege; Edmund de Rothschild - bio - protege, who is the Pilgrims Society member that dreamed up the sustainable development movement now promoted by the UN and WWF) in the environment movement, the catholic Etienne Davignon in Europe, the zionists Henry Kissinger (Fritz Kraemer and Rockefeller protege; friend of Jacob and Evelyn de Rothschild; Pilgrims Society; 1001 Club; Le Cercle; Bohemian Grove camp Mandalay; permanent Bilderberg member; Trilateral Commission; Aspen Institute; opened up China; Open Russia Foundation; founder Kissinger Associates; director CFR; Hollinger; J.P. Morgan; chair advisory board AIG) and David Rockefeller everywhere else (Pilgrims Society; 1001 Club; Le Cercle; Bohemian Grove camp Stowaway; co-founder Bilderberg and permanent member; founder Trilateral Commission; founder Americas Society; co-founder Dartmouth Conferences; co-founder US-USSR Trade and Economic Council; trustee Carnegie Endowment; his family as a whole founded many other institutes; associate of Edmund de Rothschild in the sustainable development projects; opened up China; chair CFR; chair Chase Manhattan, which is the core of the globalist movement). The ultra-zionist Rothschilds, like their masonic-episcopalian pal Prince Charles, are the architects of sustainable development movement, according to Maurice Strong (28). The family is truly enigmatic, because in many mainstream articles it is acknowledged that they still wield tremendous influence behind the scenes, yet no one seems to be bothered trying to find out what it is exactly they're involved with. One thing is for sure, most of the time when they arrange a meeting with a head of state, the press does not report it.

Other top tier globalists of today. Cisneros, a 1001 Club member and Knight of Malta, is the Latin American media baron in part responsible for the media war against Chavez. He is a very close associate of David Rockefeller, just as George Shultz and the Desmarais family in this row. The Rothschilds have a close working relationship with the Rockefellers in the environmental movement, the United Nations, and trade with the former communist world. Prince Charles already played polo with Evelyn de Rothschild in his student years and later set up the Interfaith consultations with him.

I'm not sure, but the aged Otto von Habsburg might still be an important figure today. The catholic Habsburgs, which includes Hans Adam II of Liechtenstein, still support Coudenhove-Kalergi's 'Internationale Paneuropa Union' (29). The Paneuropa Union was originally funded by Louis de Rothschild and Max Warburg while Leopold Amery and Nicholas Murray Butler were among its most devoted patrons (30). In 1948, however, the American Committee on United Europe (ACUE) was set up after Joseph Retinger (International mystery man; seemingly tied to the Vatican; later founder of Bilderberg) and Duncan Sandys (son-in-law Churchill), with some effort, convinced William Donovan (SMOM; CIA founder) and Allen Dulles (Pilgrims; CIA; SMOM) to drop their support of Kalergi's program (31). Supposedly Kalergi tried to keep his European unification movement too much in his own hands. He was certainly obsessive, because until his death in 1972 he headed the Paneuropa Union. At that moment Otto von Habsburg took over and today he still serves in that position. Habsburg is said to have been a primary founder of the secret intelligence group Le Cercle, formerly known as the Pinay Circle. In that case the leadership went to the British and the Americans also, if they didn't already have control since day one. This is also where the above listed Pilgrims Society member Paul Volcker comes in. As newly appointed chairman of the Federal Reserve System, a position Carter picked for him after having been advised by David Rockefeller and Robert Vincent Roosa (Rhodes scholar; trained Volcker and other at NY Fed; partner in Brown Brothers Harriman; Pilgrims Society; frequent Bilderberg attendee; founding member and secretary Trilateral Commission; director CFR; Atlantic Council; Atlantic Institute of International Affairs; chair Brookings Institution; vice-chair Rockefeller Foundation; governor United Nations Association) (32), he was identified by BND officer Hans Langemann as a person who attended the December 1, 1979 meeting of Le Cercle in the Madison Hotel in Washington (33). Others that attended the meeting were the German Karl-Heinz Narjes (Bundestag; soon went to the ECC), William Colby (the recently retired CIA director at that time; set up some of the Scandinavian Stay-Behind networks; Forty Committee under Kissinger), Ed Feulner (roommate of neocon warhawk and military-industrial complex insider John F. Lehman; president Heritage Foundation; trustee Mont Pelerin Society; IMF & World Bank insider; chairman Institute for European Defense and Strategic Studies in London; Bohemian Grove), Julian Amery (later chairman of Le Cercle; Privy Councilor; his father, mentioned earlier, was one of the closest Rothschild allies and helped in the building up of the Paneuropa Union and Israel), and Jean Violet (French intelligence officer; Habsburg employee; recruit of Nazi general Reinhard Gehlen; co-founder and chairman Le Cercle; Fascist militant before WWII). Whatever these people were discussing, the history books never recorded it.

Volcker has more interesting connections. After stepping down as head of the Federal Reserve he went to work for the Canadian Power Corporation, which was majority owned and headed by a good friend of his, Paul Desmarais, Sr. Besides having been described as a close personal friend of every Canadian Prime Minister since 1968, Desmarais has also been a member of the advisory councils of Carlyle, Chase Manhattan Bank (his son Andre now is a member of J.P. Morgan Chase's International Council), and Barrick Gold Corporation (set up by international arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi who's first employer was the Bin Laden family and has close ties to the British throne; Barrick also employed Bush Sr.; the later discussed Rothschild buddy Vernon Jordan; and was headed by Peter Munk, a 1001 Club member and skiing partner of Prince Charles). In 1992 he was appointed a member of the Canadian Privy Council, the same year that Maurice F. Strong, Conrad M. Black, and Charles R. Bronfman (brother of Edgar Bronfman, Sr.) were also made members. Power Corporation is one part of a large international business empire, that together with the relatively obscure Frère family, virtually co-owns the state of Belgium (GBL; Suez; SG; Tractebel). Desmarais and his son hold many directorships in these Belgian and French companies.

At the time of the Oil-for-Food scandal it turned out that Nadhmi Auchi's General Mediterranean Holdings
had a majority share in BNP Paribas (34), the bank that handled all of the Iraqi loans and has subsidiaries all over the Middle-East. Auchi is a member of Le Cercle and is up to his ears involved in illegal arms trafficking, British Intelligence, and the British throne itself. Look for his bio in the membership list of Le Cercle.

Hong Kong, October 4, 2005

of England; Multinational Chairman's Group), and Gerald M. Levin (Once rated the fourth most powerful person in the media; CFR; Trilateral Commission; Sun Valley Meetings). Rupert Murdoch (Owns a worldwide media empire; close friend and business partner of Jacob Rothschild; CFR; Sun Valley Meetings) used to be a member of the Advisory Commission back in 2000. Seems not a whole lot changed in Hong Kong after it was given back to China.

China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Russia

A lot of people have been asking about the relationship of the globalist movement to China. Not only how it is today, but also how it evolved over the past 60 years. The short answer is that at least today it appears to be very cozy. On the other hand, it's obvious that China is preparing itself for a conflict about the dwindling natural resources, especially with Japan and the United States. The globalist group does not seem to be worried about this at all. Why is that?

In the 19th century, Shanghai had become an international centre of trade (mainly opium to China vs useful goods to the West) in which the British, Americans, and a few other Western countries had large investments. In 1927, general Chiang Kai-shek purged Shanghai of about 5000 communists and together with the powerful Green Gang triad (involved in the opium and gold smuggle, the sex trade, slave-girl trade, brothels, assassinations, and in keeping an eye on labor unions) he was part of, gained absolute control over the city. Also in 1927, Chiang married Soong May-ling, the daughter of one of the most powerful Chinese [triad] families that emerged after the fall of the Qing dynasty. This merchant and banking family converted to christianity and became oriented towards the West. Among other things, May-ling's sister married Sun Yat-sen, the person who established the Republic of China after the Qing dynasty had fallen, ending over 2000 years of imperial rule. Chiang Kai-Shek was Sun's protege.

Two of the first British corporations with large investments in the Far-East. They still exist and the Keswick family (Pilgrims; 1001 Club) of Jardine Matheson bought a 20% stake in Rothschilds Continuation Holdings in 2005. They are the only non-Rothschild shareholders. (77)

Shanghai, 1930s		After the Japanese attacked Shanghai in 1937 and invaded the Chinese mainland, the West kept supporting Chiang's resistance, which prevented Japan from sending more troops to the Pacific region. When Japan was finally defeated in 1945, the Communists, headed by Zhou Enlai and Mao, fought the nationalists, led by Chiang and supported by most of the wealthier Chinese businessmen, as well as the United States. Chiang and 2 million of his followers lost the war and retreated to Taiwan in 1949 while Mao took power in mainland China. Enlai became his Prime Minister.
Du Yuesheng, the leader of the Green Gang triad and an ally of Chiang fled to the British colony of Hong Kong where he died in 1951. Baron Robert Rothschild - bio - from Belgium, a predecessor of Etienne Davignon as chef de cabinet and a later primary founder of the European Economic Union with Paul Henri Spaak (36), was also present in China at the time. In 1944, at his own request, he came to the Embassy of Chongqing as first secretary, where the headquarters of Chiang's government were located at the time. Here he also met Mao's envoy, Zhou Enlai, whom Rothschild "grew to like." After the Japanese surrendered Rothschild went to Shanghai where he was consul general from 1946 until Chiang's government fell. Then he moved to Washington.

Chiang Kai-shek and his biggest supporter, Henry Luce. Luce, born in China in an elite Anglo-Saxon family, went to Oxford and Yale. Ended up in Skull & Bones and later in the Pilgrims Society. Founded Time with another S&B member in 1923, which was funded by J.P. Morgan men. In 1963, Luce bought the Zapruder Film for $150,000 and the exclusive rights to the story of Oswald's wife. He married an intelligence-connected Dame of Malta who became an ambassador to the Vatican.

Even though it's not hard to see which side the West (globalist movement) took, it's also hard to deny that this same group did plenty of business with the communists, before and after 1945. The Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations funding the Institute of Pacific Relations (IPR) think tank from 1925 to 1961 is one example of these people keeping the door open to the communist world. Gary Allen and especially Antony Sutton have documented the Red trade in great detail. Ford built vehicle-plants in the USSR as early as 1929 and was later followed by Fiat (Agnelli). Chase Manhattan was financing many project over there, as were hundreds of smaller corporations. In 1957, Lord Bertrand Russell (3rd Earl Russell; Part of an elite family although he often opposed Round Table members as the Cecils or Amerys; Member of the Cambridge Apostles, which was filled with gay MI5 and MI6 (KGB) agents. Among the members were Lord Victor Rothschild (father of today's Jacob Rothschild), Aldous Huxley (wrote 'Brave New World'), John Maynard Keynes (famous economist; close friend of CFR chairman, J.P. Morgan chairman, and Pilgrims Society member Russell C. Leffingwell), and the famous 'Cambridge spies')) and Cyrus Eaton Sr. (a John D. Rockefeller protege) were 2 of the primary founders of the Pugwash Conferences, which tried to reduce tensions between the communists and the West (37). Aristotle Onassis (a Greek 1001 Club family) was one of the persons who initially proposed that the first meeting could be held at one of his estates. In 1960, David Rockefeller was among the primary founders of the Dartmouth Conferences, which aimed at preventing nuclear conflict with the Soviets (38). In 1967, at the height of the Vietnam War, the Rockefeller's International Basic Economic Corporation (IBEC) and Cyrus Eaton Jr. (his father was a Rockefeller protege and co-founder of the Pugwash Conferences ) publicly established a joint venture to invest around the world, including the Soviet Union. The press release even mentioned that these two were busy making it easier for the Soviets to obtain US patents. IBEC, the Rockefeller company, was headed by Richard S. Aldrich, a cousin of the Rockefellers and part of a Pilgrims Society family that also co-founded the Federal Reserve (39). Two years later, in October 1969, N.M Rothschild & Sons announced that they were about to conclude a joint venture of their own with IBEC, again to invest around the world, although no specifics were given this time (40). At the 1972 Dartmouth Conference it was proposed to establish a US-USSR trade organization, which soon developed in the secretive US-USSR Trade and Economic Council, organized by top-globalist George Shultz (41) (Family on his mother's side has a long working relationship with the Rockefellers and his grandmother donated the Charles Pratt House to the CFR in 1945; Part of the Princeton "special boys" crowd of Cap & Gown and a really good friend of George Griggs, according to Kay Griggs; supposedly hooked up with a Tavistock (established by a Rockefeller Foundation grant in 1946) psychologist at MIT, Kurt Lewin; president and director of Bechtel; National Security Planning Group; today's chairman of J.P. Morgan Chase's International Council; One of the most important zionist-republicans of the past 30 years; attended at least some Pilgrims Society meetings in the 1980s). Then finally, in 1972, the first SALT treaty was signed, making Henry Kissinger, a Rockefeller protege and Rothschild friend, an international hero for accomplishing the first (public) breakthrough in US-Soviet relations.

Whatever covertly happened between the globalist movement and China before the early 1970s, from this time on Henry Kissinger started conferring with Zhou Enlai, still China'sprime minister and usually seen as less radical than Mao himself. Kissinger made two secret trips to China in 1971 to lay the ground work for Nixon's 1972 public visit. In the following years, Kissinger made subsequent secret trips to China to make sensitive intelligence exchanges. Robert C. McFarlane (Marine Corps colonel; said to be a good friend of George Griggs, according to Kay Griggs; CFR; National Security Adviser; chair National Security Planning Group; advisor zionist Washington Institute for Near East Policy; vice-chair and co-founder America-China Society; director of Aegis Defence Services, a London-based mercenary company with large contracts in Iraq which is headed by Lord Peter Inge (Privy Council; Knight of the Garter; Pilgrims Society) and an SAS/MI6 officer) was among those who went with him, in his case between 1973 and 1976. The National Council for US-China Trade was established in May 1973 (42), the same month in which Chase Manhattan Bank opened a Moscow office at 1 Karl Marx Square (43). This was also the first year that the secretive US-USSR Trade and Economic Council meetings were going on; its Overseas Development Council at one point chaired by David Rockefeller (according to his digital Who's Who). The US-China Council served as an unofficial discussion board between the Chinese government and the CEOs of the US and has been instrumental in opening up formal relations with China in the 1978-1979 period. David Rockefeller is known to have met with Zhou at least once in June of 1973 (44).		David Rockefeller meets Zhou Enlai almost 30 years after Baron Robert Rothschild left Zhou behind. The picture was probably taken in June 1973. Earlier, in the 1964-1965 period, David had met with Khrushchev and Brezhnev. At these meetings it was agreed to increase trade between the US and USSR, which led to the 1967 Rockefeller-Eaton joint venture, followed in 1969 by a deal with the Rothschilds. In 1973, the secretive US-USSR Trade and Economic Council was established, just as the National Council for US-China Trade.

	It has been claimed that Maurice Strong (Rockefeller-Edmund de Rothschild protege) was responsible for Kissinger's initial visit, because one of his (supposed) cousins, Anna Louise Strong (above, mid) had such a close relationship with the communist governments of China and Russia (45). As a writer and journalist she alternately lived and worked in the US, Europe, the USSR (whom she praised), and China. This picture is from the 1960s and can be seen at Wikipedia. Israel Epstein (first left; Jewish writer from Poland; emigrated to China), Frank Coe (second right; co-founder United Nations, IMF, and Morgenthau plan (named after a Pilgrim); surrounded in his life by Carnegie-Rockefeller sponsored pro-communist IPR officials; emigrated to China), and Solomon Adler (British Jew who went to work for the US Treasury, went back to the UK, and subsequently emigrated to China). Frank Coe and Solomon Adler were responsible for the hyperinflation in the aftermath of WWII which was a primary cause for Chiang's loss to the Communists. What was it again that Disraeli said in his 19th century novel Coningsby? According to the Rothschilds, "Lionel and his wife Charlotte appear to have been the inspiration for certain characters in his three novels Coningsby..." (9) Novels aren't always fiction.

Zhou and Mao died in 1976 and in the end Zhou's protege, Deng Xiaoping, became the number one man in China. In 1978, he publicly opened up the diplomatic and economic relations with the West. Direct foreign investments in the Chinese economy were now allowed and in reaction the National Council for US-China Trade was reorganized into the US-China Business Council in 1979. The initial meeting of this Council, hosted by the State Department at the Dean Acheson (Sr. was a Pilgrims Society member and accused by McCarthy of being one the most dangerous communists of the time; Jr. was a member of Skull & Bones 1943) Auditorium was chaired by Michael Blumenthal (CFR; co-founder Trilateral Commission; Bilderberg) and Cyrus Vance (raised by the Rockefeller trustee, Pilgrims Society member, co-CFR founder, 1932 FDR coup sponsor John W. Davis; Pilgrims Society member himself; co-founder NASA; vice-chair CFR; chair Rockefeller Foundation; chair US Ditchley; chair Japan Society; chair NY Fed; and a Bilderberg attendee).

Kissinger and Rongji at the American-China Society, March 16, 2001.

Ironically, David Rockefeller was late at this meeting and had to sit on the floor in an aisle (46). Later on, in 1987, Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, and Robert McFarlane were involved in the creation of the America-China Society (47), another private discussion group that works closely with the Asia Society (Founded by John D. Rockefeller III), the Committee of 100, the US-China Policy Foundation (co-founded by a person who went to China with Kissinger in 1971), the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations (Maurice R. Greenberg and Lee Hamilton are among the vice-chairs; Gerald Ford, David Gergen, Henry Kissinger, and Robert McNamara are among the directors), the China Reform Forum (George Soros is a visiting fellow at the moment), the Chinese People's Institute of Foreign Affairs, and other similar organizations. At least until 2001, Kissinger served as chair of the America-China society while McFarlane and Vance served as vice-chairs. Some changes to the institute were made in the 2001-2002 period, but because it's so low profile it's hard to tell what exactly has been done to it.

After China publicly opened its doors in the late 1970s, the Canadian globalists immediately moved in also. In 1978, Maurice Strong (Rockefeller-Rothschild protege and later Privy Councilor) and Paul Desmarais Sr. (Power Corp owner, Chase international council member, and later Privy Councilor) established the Canada-China Business Council. Anno 2005, Desmarais Sr. is the honorary president of this council while his son Andre is the honorary chairman. As mentioned earlier, Andre is also one of today's HKSAR advisors, like Volcker (mentioned earlier; Rockefeller-Rothschild protege), Greenberg (mentioned earlier; Kissinger associate), Sutherland (mentioned earlier; one of the most influential British globalists; Pilgrims Society), and formerly Murdoch (mentioned earlier; Jacob Rothschild associate). Andre, like Paul Sr. once, also sits on J.P. Morgan Chase's International Council.

Both the Canadian and American globalists have close connections to the China International Trade and Investment Company (CITIC), which, according to the 1999 Cox Report on Chinese Espionage is "the most powerful and visible PRC [Chinese government]-controlled conglomerate." (48) CITIC is a holding company of about 40 to 45 corporations specializing in categories such as construction, the automobile industry, the machine tool industry, technology, banking, real estate, publishing, and TV networks. Like other companies, the leadership reports directly to the Chinese ruling party.

CITIC was founded in 1979 by Rong Yiren (Elected vice president of the People's Republic of China in 1993) after Deng Xiaoping opened up the economy. Rong Yiren, as expected, turns out to be a close associate of the Rockefellers since day one. From the Wilderness quoting Michel Chossudovsky (49):

"The 1979 visit of Deng Xiaoping to the US was followed in June 1980 by the equally significant encounter in Wall Street of Rong Yiren, chairman of CITIC, and David Rockefeller. The meeting, held in the penthouse of the Chase Manhattan Bank complex, was attended by senior executives of close to 300 major US corporations. A major agreement was reached between Chase, CITIC, and the Bank of China, involving the exchange of specialists and technical personnel to "identify and define those areas of the Chinese economy most susceptible to American technology and capital infusion."

Another person who was involved in setting up CITIC was the Chinese/Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka Shing, who is reported to have done this with business partners Robert
CITIC Plaza, Guangzhou (Canton City). I don't know about you, but it looks pretty scary to me.		Kwok and Henry Fok, two (supposed) leading members of the triad mafia. They remained partners over the years and in 1997 members of the Kwok family, Fok family, Li Ka Shing, Commerce Secretary William M. Daley (CFR; later chair of Al Gore's presidential campaign; later Midwest chairman of J.P. Morgan Chase and Bank One Corp.; vice chair National Committee on U.S.-China Relations next to Maurice Greenberg and Lee Hamilton), and others were having a private meeting on board of the Monkey's Uncle, a boat owned by one of the largest investment banks in the world, Goldman Sachs (50). Li, a close business associate of Jay Rockefeller (51), is chairman of Cheung Kong Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa. The latter company has two 25 year leases on the harbors at both ends of the Panama Canal (it does not control the canal as a whole). Li became a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire and a Commander in the Leopold Order of Belgium. Among many other business ventures and rumors about Chinese intelligence, drug trafficking, and illegal arms sales, Li owns the China Overseas Shipping Company (COSCO), which counted among its advisors Peter Kwok (of the triad gang who are business partners of Richard Blum and Senator Dianne Feinstein. Feinstein is an AIPAC insider, favors a national ID card, has visited the Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg, and is a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee under Jay Rockefeller) and Alexander Haig. In 1996 it was caught shipping 2000 AK-47s to Los Angeles street gangs, the largest seizure of smuggled automatic weapons in US history (52). The shipment came from the Poly Group, a Chinese governent & army run arms manufacturer that sells anything from machine guns to weapons of mass destruction to countries a lot of people in the West aren't happy with. Both CITIC and the Poly Group were headed by Wang Jun at the time (CITIC still is), the son of one of the Eight Immortals of communist China, Wang Zhen. Zhen was a Deng-supporting former president of the Communist Party and a vice-chairman of the Central Advisory Commission of China. All these companies are directly controlled by the Chinese government. But who controls the Chinese government?

Larry Yung is today's head of CITIC Pacific of Hong Kong and a director of the overall Chinese CITIC Group. He is the son of the main founder and first chairman of CITIC, the earlier mentioned Rockefeller-associate Rong Yiren. In 1999, Andre Desmarais (the HKSAR advisor, J.P. Morgan Chase advisor, son of a Privy Councilor, and the honorary chair of the Canada-China Business Council) received the rare privilege to buy a 4.2% stake in CITIC Pacific and subsequently became a director of the company. Since then, his family's Power Corporation has received generous access to the Chinese market.

As expected, Rockefeller-Rothschild associate Kissinger was also involved with this Chinese conglomerate. His consultancy firm, Kissinger Associates, set up the China Ventures fund with CITIC in 1989, which would be in the same year that he defended the Tiananmen Square massacre, arguing against sanctions being placed on China (53). Four months later, Alexander Haig - bio - , founder of the even more low-profile Worldwide Associates, a good friend of Sun Myung Moon, and another notorious early investor in China, decided as the only American to join the Tiananmen festivities when the People's Republic was celebrating its 40th anniversary. Kissinger, later, in 1997, became the central advisor to the Business Coalition for US-China Trade, a group of about a 1000 leading companies willing to invest in China (54). This China Lobby was primarily responsible for China joining the WTO in December 2001. The World Trade Organization itself is largely controlled by the LOTIS committee and the British Invisibles (who's president is the Duke of Kent, a member of the Pilgrims Society and head of the United Grand Lodge).

Democrats or republicans doesn't really matter anymore these days as hundreds of large corporations are investing in China. Among them are Power Corporation, Entergy, Halliburton, Bechtel, IBM, Lockheed Martin, Loral Space Communications, Walt Disney, Wal Mart, Philip Morris, and others. The democrats generally get the blame for having communist sympathies, but it shouldn't be overlooked that Clinton's closest supporters were people like Jay Rockefeller (John D. IV; roommate of Karim Aga Khan at Harvard (British-zionist agent); vice chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence; visited China many times; supported the Iraq war; does everything he can to extent and make permanent the Patriot Act provisions; one of the strongest advocates for comprehensive health care reform; PPI (new democrat) Task Force member; accused of leaking a "black ops" CIA spy satellite program in 2005), Evelyn de Rothschild, Lynn Forester de Rothschild, Vernon Jordan (primary DLC funder; CFR; Trilateral Commission; Sun Valley Meetings; permanentBilderberger; Lazard managing director; advisor to Barrick Gold and director of many other corporations; did everything he could to save Clinton from the Lewinsky Affair; appointed to the 1000 Points of Light Foundation after George W. Bush signed the Unity of Spirit Act after 9/11; close buddy of Evelyn de Rothschild and the Clintons), and Frank Biondi (big media guy; hosted a bunch of fundraisings for the Clintons at his Vineyard house; Sun Valley Meetings; counted Evelyn de Rothschild and Lynn Forester de Rothschild among his guests in 2005). The early China-trading democrat-supporting zionists Robert S. Strauss, Bernard L. Schwartz (chair Loral), Dianne Feinstein, and Ron Brown are also part of this group. Henry Kissinger and especially David Rockefeller, who were the initiators of the whole China program (not Clinton), show that we are not dealing with a standard democrat crowd here. It's rather obvious we're looking at the relatively subtle zionist United Nations-WWF crowd, in contrast to the zionist neoconservative faction.

What's that thing on his head? John D. "Jay" Rockefeller IV. Son of John D. III who died in 1978. Business partner of Li Ka Shing, who is "a strong believer in synergy," and once invited by Clinton on a trip to China. The Clintons are very close to the Rothschild family.

To expand on Clinton's connections with the above people: In 1998, the Clintons invited Li Ka Shing's business partner, Jay Rockefeller, to China (55). Both are anything but strangers over there. Clinton has spent Christmas Eve at the Martha's Vineyard house of the Jordans and often went there to do some fund raising. In 1998, Jordan did everything he could to diminish the impact of the Lewinsky Affair. Even after Clinton was out of office, in late August 2004, he and his wife Hillary, Evelyn de Rothschild, Vernon Jordan, and Prince Andrew were all hanging out at the Vineyard at their very own "Anyone but Bush" party. Rothschild and Jordan were jointly celebrating their birthdays that day (56). Earlier, in November 2000, two years after Kissinger had introduced the two to each other at Bilderberg, Evelyn and Lynn got married in London. After the wedding they seemingly flew to the US, since they were having diner with Senator Moynihan (worked for Averell Harriman in the 1950s; important United Nations official in the 1970s; important DLC operative; chairman of the 1997 Commission on Protecting and Reducing Government Secrecy, which shed a little bit of light on the inner workings of the Black and Deep Black Programs, the latter officially known as Unacknowledged Special Access Programs) and the Clintons the very next day (57). According to EIR, the Clintons invited the married couple to spend their wedding night at the White House. In 2000, Evelyn clandestinely financed the creation of the Policy Network, a "super think tank" that coordinates between the Democratic Leadership Council and Labour’s inner circle (58). At the same time, Rothschild's wife is among the biggest supporters of the New Democrats in the US, just as Bernard L. Schwartz, Robert S. Strauss, and Frank Biondi.

Back to China. Both democrats and republicans tend to ignore the issue, but these days a growing number of people start to express their worries about China's military and economic expansion. Already in 1999, the Cox Investigation reported (59):

"...[there is] certainly a long-term strategy on the part of Beijing to gain control of the world's key strategic chokepoints... Everywhere in the Pacific when the U.S. withdraws or is negligent militarily, politically, the Communist Chinese move in... Communist Chinese bases have been established in Burma; the South China Sea... Paracel Islands; the Straits of Malacca... the Spratly Islands; the central Pacific... Tarawa; and the coast of Hawaii. [and the Panama Canal in Central-America]"

"Growing commercial prowess controlling ports in Vancouver, Canada, and in the Caribbean, China recently completed military/ intelligence agreements with Cuba to build communications-intelligence facilities... the Chinese are stepping up their military-to-military relationships with South American nations [Venezuela; Columbia; Brazil]."

If it were possible to consider China a nation friendly to the United States it might be understood why both the Clinton and Bush Administration haven't undertaken any action. Unfortunately, the Cox Report made it clear that this viewpoint is not realistic (60):

"The People's Republic of China (PRC) has stolen design information on the United States' most advanced thermonuclear weapons... In a single 1996-1997 operation, the Los Angeles office of the U.S. Customs service seized over $36 million in excess military property that was being shipped overseas illegally... 37 inertial navigation systems for the U.S. F-117 [Night Hawk - Stealth aircraft] and FB-111 aircraft... Thousands of computers and computer disks containing classified Top Secret and higher information... Patriot missile parts... 500 electron tubes used in the U.S. F-14 fighter... Tank and howitzer parts... 26,000 encryption devices... For example, a multi-axis machine tool profiler, designed to build wing spans for the U.S. F-14 fighter, originally cost over $3 million but was purchased by the PRC for under $25,000... night-vision technology... In 1996, Hong Kong Customs officials intercepted air-to-air missile parts being shipped by [CITIC]... "

All in all, the Cox Investigation and reporters like Charles R. Smith (61) have delivered more than enough evidence that China is continually expanding its presence around and within the United States while seemingly no one within the US government is paying serious attention to it. Advanced sensitive technology was illegally shipped to China with full or partial knowledge of the Clinton administration. Examples that have been mentioned are supercomputers, satellite and ICBM missile technology, radiation-hardened computer chips; basically anything besides complete military hardware. The latter, of course, was sent the other way around, to US street gangs. A great deal, isn't it?

Like mentioned before, blaming it on the democrats seems a little too simplistic though and the globalist group is probably a better choice. It's not really like the republicans are doing a whole lot about the China problem either. In fact, the Carlyle Group, which has employed George H.W. Bush, has also started to invest in China (62) while Neil Bush has fired up his own China ventures in recent years. The Bushes have very long-standing political and business ties to China. George H.W. Bush was US ambassador to China from 1974 to 1976, during a time when David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger were busy with the initial opening up of China. Prescott Bush Jr., brother of George H.W. Walker, started investing in Shanghai and mainland China during the 1980s and became good friends with Jiang Zemin, president of China from 1993 to 2003. Neil Bush now continues his uncle's legacy, as he went in business with Jiang Mianheng, the son of Jiang Zemin. Just as Haig, Prescott was criticized for meeting with Chinese leaders only months after the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. In that same year, his ties to a company called Asset Management were investigated, which was reportedly the only corporation that was able to circumvent sanctions and import communications satellites into China (remember the earlier mentioned Loral). When Asset Management went broke in that same year, a bailout was arranged by a Japanese investment firm, West Tsusho, which was being investigated for alleged ties to organized crime (63). Ironically, on April 12, 1992, a New York Times article detailing some of this trade, started out with (64): "... the White House is also preparing for the likelihood of attacks from Democrats over business dealings that have involved several of President Bush's relatives." Within several years the conservatives would be accusing the "communist democrats" of similar behaviour.

The Bushes aren't a very good example here, but who can really blame anyone from doing (legal ethical) business in China? A businessman just goes where the money is while at the same time the one billion plus Chinese people are likely to create an increasingly free and open society with these investments (not knowing what makes the world go round is a different thing). It's the government's task to decide whether or not restrictions are put on free trade, in this case because of a threat to national and international security. And more importantly, they need to enforce these regulations. This is just a theory, of course, because what isn't mentioned is that the elected governments are largely steered by a permanent transnational privately funded body consisting of several thousand international 'members'. These members are a combination of highest level businessmen, lawyers, politicians, justice department officials, scientists, military officers, and intelligence officers. As you can see in this article, the most important of these people meet at organizations like the Pilgrims Society, the 1001 Club, Le Cercle, Ditchley, the Trilateral Commission, and many other national-regional groups like the CFR, RIIA, the Bohemian Grove, the Business Roundtable, their European counterparts, and dozens of other privately funded national think tanks. This group has been getting increasingly organized over the 20th century, but has always centered around the international banking houses. If you paid attention to the small details in this article you should have noticed how a small clique of the most influential globalists, besides virtually always having close ties to the Rockefeller-Kissinger-Rothschild triumvirate, all are connected to a major bank: Rothschild, Lazard, Morgan Chase, UBS Warburg, Goldman Sachs, Société Générale (today controlled by Power Corp and the Charleroi Group), etc. BNP Paribas, Barclays, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, and the small Allen & Co. are a few other well known banks that play an important role in this network.

On a smaller scale

Smaller local private institutes tie into the exact same network as described above and are often visibly controlled by a banking house. A few examples from the international affairs institutes:

• The CFR is chaired by Peter G. Peterson, a long time friend and business partner of Henry Kissinger, Maurice R. Greenberg, and David Rockefeller. Besides a director of Rockefeller Center Properties, he has been chairman of the NY Federal Reserve, chairman of Lehman Brothers, and founder and chairman of The Blackstone Group, today a leading global investment and advisory group allied with Kissinger Associates and AIG. If Peterson is not a Pilgrims Society member, he would be the only chair of the CFR and probably the only chair of the NY Fed who wouldn't have been one. Peterson has been described as a close associate of General Richard G. Stilwell, who has attended Le Cercle and has been head of a worldwide anti-communist/socialist covert warfare program. Stilwell has also been credited with co- authoring Operation Mongoose and Operation Northwoods.
• The Chicago CFR (CCFR) is a sister organization of the New York-based CFR. At the moment, the chairman of the Chicago CFR is the multibillionaire banker and industrialist Lester Crown. Lester controls the family holdings, including large stakes in Maytag and Bank One, which is part of J.P. Morgan Chase since 2004. In 2000, Crown and Jerry I. Speyer (chair Tishman Speyer, located in Rockefeller Center; CFR; vice chair of the NY Fed; vice chair of the Rockefeller's Museum of Modern Art; chair of the Rockefeller's New York Partnership; director RAND) bought the shares of Rockefeller Center from their partners David Rockefeller, Goldman Sachs, the Agnelli family (1001 Club; Bilderberg; Chase; ERT), and Stavros Niarchos (1001 Club; Onassis family) (65). Crown is also a member of the CFR, vice-chairman of the Aspen Institute, and vice-chairman of the (Chaim) Weizmann Institute of Science.
• Today's chair of Chatham House (Royal Institute for International Affairs) is Dr. DeAnne Julius, a director of British Petroleum and the banking and insurance giant Lloyds TSB. She was a founding member of the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England from 1997 to 2000 and served on the Court of the Bank of England from 2001 to 2004. In addition, Chatham House has three presidents, all Privy Councilors. One of them, Lord Hurd of Westwell, was chairman of the British Invisibles, a group that represents most of the banking houses and multinationals of London. The controversial freemason and Pilgrims Society member Lord Robertson is another president of RIIA. He is a governor of the Ditchley Foundation and visited Bilderberg in 1998 and 2001.
• The Institute of Jewish Affairs, now the Institute for Jewish Policy Research, is closely affiliated with the RIIA and was headed by Lord Jacob Rothschild from 1992 to 2002. He's is very influential, a close associate of Kissinger, but hardly shows his face in public. His full bio is available in this article.
• Chairman of the Canadian Council on Foreign Relations is Roy MacLaren. This person went to Bilderberg in 1994 & 1999, is a member of the Trilateral Commission, a governor of the Ditchley Foundation, a member of Canada's Privy Council, and a director of Deutsche Bank, Canada.
• From 1999 until his death in 2005, the German Institute of International Affairs was headed by Baron Alfred von Oppenheim (a family that has intermarried with the Warburgs in the past) of the private banking firm Sal Oppenheim & Cie. This person, identified as a governor of the Atlantic Institute of International Affairs in 1987, was also a long time leading figure of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce of Cologne, the Franco-German Chamber of Industry and Commerce, and the German Chambers of Industry and Commerce. Other globalist institutions in Germany were founded and headed by the same kind of individuals: The American Council on Germany was founded in 1952 by John J. McCloy (recruited by S&B and Pilgrims Society member Henry L. Stimson, who in his turn was recruited by Pilgrims Society member Elihu Root; McCloy is a Pilgrims Society member himself; released Fritz Thyssen, Hjalmar Schacht, Friedrich Flick, and Alfred Krupp after WWII; president World Bank; chair Chase National Bank; chair CFR; Bilderberg; governor Atlantic Institute for International Affairs; chair Ford Foundation; member Warren Commission) and Eric M. Warburg (son of Max Warburg who remained in Germany until 1938). This Warburg family member also created Atlantik-Brücke that same year, a private forum between US and German representatives that organizes biennial meetings which are off-limits to outsiders. Today it has the blessing of George H.W. Bush, is chaired by an intelligence-connected Thyssen arms dealer - bio - who was part of Kohl's inner circle, and its treasurer is Max Warburg.
• Many of the Belgian private institutes, including the Royal Institute for International Relations and Friends of Europe, are founded and headed by Davignon and his cronies; the Lippens, Solvays, Boëls, and Janssens. Three generations of Lamberts used to be important Rothschild agents in Belgium who owned Groupe Bruxelles Lambert. I don't know the Lambert's influence on this important financial group today, which is jointly owned by the Desmarais and Frère families, but Baron Philippe Lambert is a board member of the RIT Capital Partners (RIT stands for Rothschild Investment Trust) since 1988. All of these people have visited a combination of the CFR; ERT, Bilderberg, the Trilateral Commission, and most other European institutions. The Davignon group heads some of the Belgian counterparts to Dutch-owned banks as ING & Fortis, which I don't have that much information about.
• The head of the Dutch Institute of International Relations (Clingendael), which is many times smaller than the British and American versions, is Henri "Hans" van den Broek. Broek went to Bilderberg in 1986, 1988, and 1995. In 1998, his daughter, Marilène van den Broek, became the wife of Prince Maurits of Orange-Nassau (his mother was a daughter of 1001 Club and Bilderberg chairman Prince Bernhard and a sister of Queen Beatrix). After this marriage he subsequently became chairman of the Dutch Carnegie Foundation in 1999 and head of Clingendael in 2000. In 2005, he became an Honorary Minister of State, what makes him an advisor to the Queen. Research in the Netherlands about this alternative network seems to be more or less dead. The influence of the Dutch Privy Council, the 'Raad van State', would make a good start though. It is a body of the most senior and trusted politicians that advises on all the new legislation before other parts of the government generally take a look at it.

Besides funding all the universities in the US and Southern Africa and having its own Foreign Policy think tank, the Carnegie Network is of course also represented in the academic world of the local international affairs institutes. Besides Hans van den Broek, without specifically looking for it, I bumped into Richard N. Haass (Rhodes Scholar; Carnegie associate; president CFR; director Brookings Institution; Bilderberg 2003 & 2005; Trilateral Commission); Warren Christopher (former vice-chair of the CFR; Pilgrims Society; chair Carnegie Corporation of New York); and Thierry de Montbrial (member Advisory Council of the Carnegie Moscow Center; founder of the French Institute of International Affairs (IFRI); permanent member of Bilderberg for about 30 years; Trilateral Commission; CFR; wrote 'For a New World Economic Order' in the CFR's Foreign Affairs in 1975; member of a small consultancy board to the WTO with the earlier mentioned Peter Sutherland chairing it; member International Advisory Board of Lafarge; member Advisory Council of Stanford's FSI International, together with Paul Volcker, George Shultz, Steven Bechtel, Helmut Schmidt, Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, Lee Kuan Yew, etc.) The Pilgrims, who represent the vast majority of all the globalist institutes, are loaded with Carnegie scholars, trustees, and presidents.

A theory: the 'greater good'

We still aren't done yet, but maybe you already noticed how all these people tie into the network that was made a sketch of at the beginning of this article. Even though today's membership lists are far from complete, it has been shown that most heads of the local globalist institutions are regular members of the multinational globalist organizations. The most important of these multinational institutes we know of are Bilderberg, the TrilateralCommission, the ERT, Ditchley, the Pilgrims Society, the 1001 Club, and Le Cercle. Put together, all the members of these institutes are the West's permanent government; the aristocracy of our individual democracies if you will. This aristocracy acts like a miniature version of planet earth in which the members work out differences among each other while the internal problems do not get discussed (directly) outside the small circle of maybe a few thousand. Are we really talking about something unusual when a group of businessmen is accused of lobbying congress or government directly? Or if government officials have a conflict of interest? Is this really so spectacular? No, of course not. When someone investigates the globalist group he will soon realize that conflicts of interest are the norm, not the exception, and to say that these people are lobbying government officials is a bit of an understatement. The two merged a long time ago and most high level politicians move in and out of the private sector in between
government jobs. Already in 1913, Woodrow Wilson wrote (66):

"... If the government is to tell big business men how to run their business, then don't you see that big business men have to get closer to the government even than they are now? Don't you see that they must capture the government, in order not to be restrained too much by it? Must capture the government? They have already captured it."

There's this famous quote that goes like, "Countries do not have friends. They only have interests." Over time it has been attributed to John Dulles, De Gaulle, Kissinger, Rumsfeld, and probably dozens more. This simple truth, which every statesman and globalist insider has heard of (and probably repeated), tells us that the ordinary 'peasant,' who's living outside the Acropolis so to speak, is being lied to on a continuous basis, simply because this is the only reason that is never given. The best example these days is the recent Iraq War; First it's about Saddam's ties to Arab terrorists, then it's about WMD, and finally, in desperation, the line is added that Saddam is just an evil dictator and the Iraqi people are better of without him. General Hermann Goering probably gave us one the best explanations ever why the common citizen is being lied to (67):

"Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

Amazing statement and like Goering said, it has nothing to do with the political systems of the countries we live in (even though some are much more comfortable than others). Have you ever noticed that the political opposition (ignoring the smallest parties who always have a shortage of money and media exposure) in cases of war seldom point to conflicts of interest or that the real reason behind a war is strategic and economical gain (or continuity)? The reason behind that seems to be that all these parties are part of the same globalist aristocratic faction, just as the heads of the media. But the difference seems to be that the opposition has a different take on the conflict; They might be more strongly connected to other business (or other) interests that do not particularly benefit from the conflict at hand. Or they have the same interests, but do not agree with the method used, war in this case.

Example of a secret masonic handshake

Today's Israeli-Iranian conflict might be a good example. Netanyahu of the Likud party is very supportive of a pre-emptive bombing campaign to Iran's nuclear reactors, while Sharon, now out of the picture because of a stroke, was much more interested in diplomacy. The latter probably includes attempts to internally destabilize Iran. Both Sharon and Netanyahu are closely connected to some of the most influential globalist insiders like George Shultz and Henry Kissinger, whom they both meet frequently. Does this mean they are ordered to play a game of good cop, bad cop while at the same time they are meeting in some secret masonic lodge on the Moon to do secret handshakes, play poker, and get drunk? No, it doesn't. We really don't have to go there to explain why "everybody is in on it." It only means they had the desired basic mindset to be supported by a large enough portion of the international money group to make it to the top tiers of the elected government. Once there, once they have been carefully screened to make sure they are a reliable 'investment', these people can agree and disagree with other politicians as if this unofficial third party doesn't exist.

Even though the vast majority of these people haven't got the motivation, the means, or the knowledge to expose this network, they do have to abide to certain rules. One of these rules is that they always have to consider the overall opinion of the globalist group, because the lone politician will find that money starts flowing in his opponent's (or other nation's) pockets as soon as he starts making decisions a lot of people in this network don't like. Not to mention the pressure that will be put on this individual from all sides. Hugo Chavez of Venezuela is an example in which even the full range of the internal corporate media censored him, manipulated (rather shocking) news events, and ultimately played a major role in the failed April 2002 coup (68). The earlier mentioned Rockefeller associate Gustavo Cisneros played a major role in that event.

Woodrow Wilson, such a smart and informed man, yet he couldn't prevent the Pilgrims Society members (only one is unconfirmed) from setting up the Federal Reserve. George Baker was the most obvious Morgan man. Senator Aldrich the Rockefeller representative. Warburg might have represented Rothschild. Senator Aldrich's closest ally in congress, Edward B. Vreeland, was a Pilgrim too, together with his brother.

Another rule these overt leaders seem to abide by is that they do not allow any kind of attention to be focused on this organized international establishment, directly or indirectly.The direct exposure is obvious. The indirect ways this network might be exposed are numerous. Too many accusations of conflicts of interest or corruption will lead to continuous (potentially very costly and unhealthy) retaliations, but more importantly, to an increasingly skeptical and investigative public that might even start to accept the existence of certain conspiracies. In turn this will lead to a gradual exposure of the ruling elite, like it already has to some degree. No one in the this group is going to benefit now and even the world order might dramatically shift in the end because it loses its power to covertly defend its mineral interests around the world. Therefore it is obvious that unwritten rules exist to settle things among each other while as little as possible is shared with the public. This will not always be possible though and after certain exposures a policy of damage control is enacted. Especially since the present Bush administration it seems that damage control has become more or less a continuous thing even though the internet also has a whole lot to do with that. I myself would probably not be writing this article if 9/11 never happened or the internet wasn't available. So as you can see, one thing leads to the other. Conspiracy talk cannot be allowed, because it undermines the whole structure. Especially since the introduction of the internet.

In the book that was cited before, Woodrow Wilson also explained how already in his time there was an undefinable group which cut short any attempt to undermine its power. He calls it 'the monopoly' and seems to suggest that no single individual, however influential, has absolute power within this group or completely understands it (69):

"... if [a businessman] enters certain fields, there are organizations which will use means against him that will prevent his building up a business which they do not want to have built up; organizations that will see to it that the ground is cut from under him and the markets shut against him. For if he begins to sell to certain retail dealers, to any retail dealers, the monopoly will refuse to sell to those dealers, and those dealers, afraid, will not buy the new man's wares."

"... Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."

The bottom line is that individual members of high society can basically express their minds the way they want to, simply because they already agree with the basic required philosophies of the existing network. As long as they recognize their limits, the bankers, CEOs, media bosses, their political foes, and some of the most senior justice officials (their peers), will keep them from being prosecuted on all too severe charges, simply to defend the 'greater good'. If however an individual seriously violates the simple unwritten rules, the globalist network will drop him like a hot potato. Say goodbye to the cashflow, the (positive) media exposure, many of the influential friends you had, and in the end, your career. The above theory might be useful for someone who wants to explain how many upper level politicians and businessmen can be "in the know" while none of them is speaking out about this structure. It's impossible to do without the consent of the media and certainly not without ruining your career and/or the career of your relatives. Besides that, people who will not go along with this network will be filtered out well before they can ever reach the senior positions in government or most multinationals. If a person doesn't have the preferred mindset no money will flow in his direction in the first place. It's important to understand that "in the know," at least in this case, only refers to people in top positions who are aware (and are willing to go along with it) that the political power of the West, as with all civilizations, is based on the covert defense of its economic interest. It's called realpolitik and there's really nothing exotic about it. And since we are the good guys who bring enlightenment to this planet, the end justifies the means.

David Gergen starts to stutter as soon as he is asked about the Bohemian Grove by Alex Jones. That's one of the unwritten rules in action: 'Don't discuss these institutes with the peasants.'

Today's sustainable development movement

Just wrote down the names of some of the most important globalists mentioned in this article and started to draw lines whenever I found two people that had worked together as business partners or friends. Conclusion: Those that constituted the core of the globalist movement of the past 30 years or so are closely knit together. And remember, the available information is still far from complete. Besides Conrad Black, you can check the details in the biographies provided with this article.

Of course, the above theory does ignore that there is a core group within the globalist movement which has almost singlehandedly organized the broader Western aristocracy over the last century. In the first half of the 20th century, this inner group mainly consisted of the Morgans, Vanderbilts, Rockefellers, Warburgs, and Rothschilds with also some Privy Council, Garter, Round Table, and Pilgrims families (like Cecil) playing an important role. After WWII, the Rockefellers, with a small army of their proteges, became the undisputed kings of globalism. It is this group of mercenaries that virtually shaped the second half of the 20th century as has been shown in this article and its appendixes. Kissinger, who is close to both the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds has been one of their most important political aides since the early 1950s.

But besides having an obvious political and economic agenda, both the Rockefellers and Rothschilds have also created the UN-affiliated sustainable development movement. Maurice Strong; Steven C. Rockefeller, the second son of Nelson A. Rockefeller; and even Laurance Rockefeller have added an additional new age touch to this movement.

In the 1960s and early 1970s, the Rothschilds, British royals, and Rockefellers fired up their sustainable development movement with the creation of the WWF, the Club of Rome, the World Wilderness Conferences, and the WWF-affiliated 1001 Club. In 1983, the report 'Changing Climate' was released by the National Academy of Sciences, which sparked the first debate about a possible greenhouse effect, rising sea levels, and overall human-induced climate change. Chairman of the climate committee was William "Bill" A. Nierenberg (a Detlev Bronk (head Rockefeller University; Pilgrims Society) protege, CFR member, and JASON scholar), a Rockefeller frontman. Four years later, both David Rockefeller and Edmund de Rothschild were present at the Fourth World Wilderness Congress in Denver and Southern Colorado. Here Edmund de Rothschild was recorded talking about alternative energy, "manufacturing dry ice to maintain the polar caps," a second Marshall Plan (for the second world, China and Russia, and funded through the IMF, it is speculated), third world debt relief, and the creation of a World Conservation Bank which swaps debt for land (mp3). Maurice Strong introduced Rothschild at this conference as the founder of the conservation banking program (mp3). The year before, Strong and his wife had established the Manitou Foundation at their southern Colorado Baca Ranch, which was bought from the earlier mentioned Adnan Khashoggi and became a highly interesting new age center. In the mid 1990s, the Conservation Fund, with the generous support of Laurance Rockefeller, conducted extensive mountain research around the Baca and established the Manitou Habitat Conservation Plan (70). Several years later, in 1997, Maurice Strong and Mikhael Gorbachev would set up the Earth Charter Drafting Commission with Steven C. Rockefeller who would head the institute until 2000 when the Earth Charter was formally launched. This was done at the Peace Palace in the presence of Queen Beatrix (daughter of Bilderberg Bernhard who was also involved in creating the WWF and the 1001 Club). The palace was built in 1913 by Andrew Carnegie, is the location of the Carnegie Foundation in The Netherlands, and is headed by the earlier mentioned Bilderberger, Hans van den Broek.

October 25, 1996, David Rockefeller and supposed prophet Muhammed-descendant Karim Aga Khan (his nephew was a member of the 1001 Club, an important U.N. official, and equally well-connected) at the Hadrian Award Ceremony. Patricia Buckley (sister of William F. Buckley) and Cyrus Vance (the big Rockefeller guy) were chairs of the event. Michael David-Weill (owns Lazard) gave a speech praising Karim, just as David Rockefeller. At the meeting David mentioned that Jay Rockefeller was a roommate of Karim at Harvard. Lord Jacob Rothschild couldn't attend, but sent a note congratulating Karim with his award. The Aga Khans supposedly also trace their lineage to the ancient Zoroastrian Persian royals, some ruling Muslim houses in Egypt, and the Assassins (of Knights Templar fame). All of these people are big in the WWF-UN movement.

July 2005, 18 years after Edmund de Rothschild's words, the international Live 8 event pushes the G8 to drop third world debt and to negotiate for fairer trade rules. Lynn Forester de Rothschild personally managed to get US television to show the event after they had bailed out. In the process she directly lobbies the White House.
