The Trilateral Commission (TLC) was formed in 1973 by the American banker David Rockefeller [10] and co-founder Zbigniew Brzezinski. It is a commission that is dominated by corporate interests and is privately funded. Membership is by invitation only of “private citizens of Europe, Japan and North America to help think through the common challenges and leadership responsibilities of the these democratic industrialised areas in the wider world”.  Membership “ceilings were imposed in about 1980″ [1, 2]

In 1974 committee member Richard Gardner wrote an article for the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) Foreign Affairs magazine called “The Hard Road to World Order”, predicting the future of the commissions self-proclaimed “New International Economic Order“. [6, 7, 8, 9]

On the 25th anniversary in 1998, Henry Kissenger acknowledged David’s role in the Trilateral Commission and made the statement that “the first global history of mankind is about to start. A new window is opening. The challenge is clear.”

“The Tri­lat­eral Commission’s utopian “New Inter­na­tional Eco­nomic Order” is Tech­noc­racy, and China was the first modern exper­i­ment and trans­for­ma­tion.” [4, 5]

  • By 2015 there are around 390 members with now other countries involved.  Up until Obama & Biden the TLC have had member in the top executive since Carter, if not also in the administration.
  • In 2020 it is known “the Commission is informing debate and is seeking to influence and steer  national administrations” to adopt global objective, but under what authority?
  • Australia’s John Hewson is on the TLC 2016 executive committee.
  • “the Tri­lat­eral Com­mis­sion …were almost solely respon­sible for China’s ascen­dent rise as a world power” starting 1979
