The Global Elite (Illuminati) The Bilderberg Group World Economic Forum Trilateral Commission

1. The Global Elite (Illuminati) The Bilderberg Group World Economic Forum Trilateral Commission "We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries." --David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, in an address to a meeting of The Trilateral Commission, in June, 1991.

3. Illuminati Theory • The notion that there is a small group of individuals who either • Currently control the flow of world events • Are in the process of gaining control of world events • Their main methods of mastery include: • Esoteric (Enlightened) knowledge “Illuminati” • “Sacred Architecture” or “Sacred Geometry” • True knowledge of the Deity • Diabolical powers • Non-terrestrial technology • Control of the world banking/industry • Control of political leaders • Control of international organizations such as • UN, WTO, NATO, The World Bank, IMF • Control of world religious leaders

4. FREEMASONRY The Foundation of the Global Elites Freemasonry is a fraternal organization that arose from obscure origins in the late 16th to early 17th century in England, which is a natural or instinctive fellowship between people of similar interests. These are members of a widespread secret fraternal order pledged to mutual assistance and brotherly love. Freemasonry today is NOT the same Freemasonry as found in England and from which all other legitimate Masonic lodges today can trace their ancestry.

6. Freemasonry – A Brief History • Medieval Europe • Craft Guilds of stone workers building castles, cathedrals, etc. • The three divisions of labor maintained • The Guild provides economic protection for the initiated: • workers rights protection, care for sick, funeral benefits, etc. • Knights Templar • Great wealth and power during the crusades • Became the bankers of Europe • Conflict between Templars and the Pope • Friday Oct 13, 1307, Pope ordered the eradication of all 2000 known members • Survivors reportedly sought and gained refuge with the Freemasons in Scotland • Others may have created even more secret organization : • The Priory of Zion

7. Freemasonry – A Brief History • Enlightenment • Modern Freemasonry emerges into the public as a social fraternity useful to gain • Friends • Business contacts • The Order of the Illuminati 1776 • Bavaria - Adam Weishaupt • Well-educated – Chafed at control by Church and royalty • Proposed a “New Order” in which the Enlightened would exert control over political and social decisions • Later joined Freemasons through which organization some of his ideas found fertile audience with the capacity for instilling. • Speculation that the “Illuminati” were “behind” the French Revolution

8. Masonic Symbols God? Geometry? Grandmaster or Great Architect of the Universe? • All Seeing Eye (of) • God • The Great Architect • Egyptian God Horus Compass Square

9. Globalization in the Making • Meyer Amschel Bauer. At a very early age Mayer showed that he possessed immense intellectual ability, and his father spent much of his time teaching him everything he could about the money lending business and in the basic dynamics of finance.His success allowed him the means to purchase the business his father had established in 1743. The big Red Shield was still displayed over the door. Recognizing the true significance of the Red Shield, Mayer Amschel Bauer changed his name to Rothschild (red shield). • It was at this point that the House of Rothschild came into being. • The German word for 'red shield' is Rothschild. • Through his experience with the Oppenheimers, Meyer Rothschild learned that loaning money to governments and kings was much more profitable than loaning to private individuals. Not only were the loans bigger, but they were secured by the nation's taxes. • By 1810,The House of Rothschild not only had a substantial stake in the Bank of the United States, they were quietly gaining control of the Bank of England. Although foreign owners were not, by law, allowed a say in the day to day operations of the Bank of the United States, there is little doubt that the American share holders and directors were affiliated in the aims and goals of the Illuminati and their central bankers.

10. “The underpinning of all major Multi-National Corporations begins with the Rothschild Banking & Mining interests” • Rothschild Group, Headquartered in London, Finances governments and corporations throughout the world. The Rothschild Group has 47 offices world wide which include New York, Washington DC, Paris, Frankfort, Amsterdam, Rome, Johannesburg, Tel Aviv, Tokyo, Madrid, and Hong Kong. • Under David Ren. James de Rothschild, son of Guy de Rothschild (1909-2007), the Rothschild Group controls governments, (the USA through the privately-owned Federal Reserve System), financial institutions, mining industries, and Multi-National Corporations throughout the world.

11. Rothschild to Rockefeller The United States Federal Reserve Bank was not officially established until 1913 and therefore the Rothschild family established a firm relationship with the federal government. Although they did closely monitor the activities in the US economy and took part in activities such as the gold rush and post Civil War financing. In fact, subsequent to The Civil War, large banking conglomerates in the US began to emulate Rothschild practices by pushing hard for a central and exploiting the federal government in various ways.This began under the Jackson administration with the attempt at abolishing the National Bank. JP Morgan was the most obvious example. JP, like the Rothschilds, helped to provide funding for weapons during war (The Civil War). In the 1890s, JP provided huge sums of gold to the Federal Government. JP also went on to help form Chase Manhattan Bank which is now one of the worlds largest banking conglomerates, under the name J.P. MorganChase. Over the past 100 years, Chase has maintained very close ties to the US government and other governments throughout the globe. The bank has been very successful at loaning money to governments through various means such as its close affiliation with Worldbank and The IMF. The head of J.P. MorganChase, David Rockefeller, maintained close relationships with many global leaders during the bank’s period of internationalization during the 1960s and 70s. David also maintained intimate relationships with members of the US government such as Henry Kissinger and the Dulles brothers during the 1950s, 60s and 70s. In addition, he has also worked very closely with the former head of the New York Federal Reserve, Timothy Geithner and Fed Chairman Paul Volcker, a longtime Chase executive. It is precisely this type of favoritism which was detested by early Americans while being mastered by the Rothschilds in Europe

12. The Bilderberg Group The first ever Bilderberg meeting was in Prince Bernhard's Bilderberg Hotel, Oosterbeek, Holland, May 1954. Polish political advisor, Józef Hieronim Retinger, and several like minded leaders from the United States, including David Rockefeller, as well as representatives from a number of European countries. Most were still rebuilding following the devastation of World War II and with vivid recall of the horrors of World War I, met to discuss the prospects of promoting “Atlanticism”, a philosophy of understanding between the North American countries. The ideology put forward at the Bilderberg conferences is that what's good for banking and big business is good for the mere mortals of the world. Silently banished are the critical voices, those that might point out that debt is spiraling out of control, that wealth is being sucked away from ordinary people and into the hands of the faceless corporate institutions, that millions are dying as a direct result of the global heavyweight Rockefeller/Rothschild economic strategies.

13. Origins of Bilderberg • The initiative for the first convocation came from Joseph Retinger, in conjunction with Paul Rijkens, President of Unilever. Unilever was one of the largest and most powerful multinational corporations in the world and one of the top 5 European capitalist companies. Unilever's chief adviser on international affairs was David Mitrany. It was Mitrany who coined the term functionalism to refer to “the strategy of supra-national integration through a series of sectoral processes of internationalization, designed to set in motion an autonomous logic, making inevitable further integration and ultimately making national states obsolete.” In the post-war period there were three basic models for European union: alongside the functionalists: • inter-governmentalists • the federalists • In the 1960s the functionalists used the slogan “Atlantic Partnership” as the framework for the integration or synchronization of US and European interests.

14. Origins of Bilderberg (Cont’d) • The immediate chain of events leading to the setting up of the first conference was as follows. Prince Bernhard set off for the USA in 1952 to visit his old friend Walter Bedell Smith, director of the newly-formed CIA. Smith put the organization of the American end into the hands of Charles D. Jackson (special assistant for psychological warfare to the US President), who appointed • John S. Coleman, who in turn briefly became US chair of Bilderberg. • Charles Jackson who was president of the Committee for a Free Europe in extensive operations financing and organizing anti-Communist social democratic political intellectuals. • It was thus a European initiative, and its aim was to 'strengthen links' between Western Europe and the USA. A selected list of people to be invited to the first conference was drawn up by Retinger, with Prince Bernhard and Rijkens, from the European countries of NATO plus Sweden. The resulting group consisted of the Belgian and Italian prime ministers, • Paul van Zeeland • Alcide de Gasperi, • Antoine Pinay, French Prime Minister • Guy Mollet, Socialist leader • Pietro Quaroni, Italian Diplomat • Panavotis Pipinelis Greece Diplomat • Rudolf Miller, German Lawyer • Otto Wolff von Amerongen, German Industrialist • Ole Bjorn Kraft (publisher of Denmark’s top daily newspaper) • Denis Healey, English Labor Party • Hugh Gaitskell English Labor party • Robert Boothby English Conservative Party • Sir Oliver Franks from the British state • Sir Colin Gubbins, who had headed the Special Operations Executive (SOL) during the war.

15. Origins of Bilderberg (Cont’d) On the American side, the members of the first Bilderberg assembly included: · George Ball, who was head of Lehman Brothers, a former high State Department official, where he was architect of the policy of Atlantic Partnership, and later member of the Trilateral Commission. Ball was closely associated with Jean Monnet, owing to his work as legal counsel for the ECSC and the French delegation to the Schuman Plan negotiations. · David Rockefeller was the key American member of Bilderberg. Space only permits the briefest sketch of his direct economic and political involvements: head of the Chase Manhattan Bank, member of the Council on Foreign Relations, member of the Business Council, the US council of the International Chamber of Commerce, and, of course, the founder of the Trilateral Commission. · Dean Rusk: US Secretary of State 1961-69, earlier President of the Rockefeller Foundation 1952-60, having succeeded John Foster Dulles, himself an earlier Secretary of State and - this is not at all a coincidence - a close personal friend of Jean Monnet whom he had first met at Versailles in 1918 as well as of Dean Acheson, Truman's Secretary of State and the true author of the Marshall Plan. The final list was 67. Since then, the group enlarged somewhat, but the steering group remained the same size.

16. What goes on at Bilderberg? The active, on-going membership from the various people who are occasionally invited to attend come along to report on matters pertaining to their expertise. However, many of these members that are invited attend the meetings have no idea about the global agenda but is there to feed information to the few elitests organizing the annual events. The Bilderberg discussions are organized on the principle of reaching consensus rather than through formal resolutions and voting. Such is the influence and standing of the active members that, if consensus for action is arrived at, one might expect this to be carried out and the resulting decision to be implemented in the West as a whole. But the exact position of the group, and that of other such groups, is only discernible by a close scrutiny of the specific careers and connections of the individual participants. Bilderberg from the beginning has been administered by a small core group, constituted since 1956 as a steering committee, consisting of a permanent chair, a US chair, European and North American secretaries and a treasurer. Invitations are 'only sent to important and generally respected people who through their special knowledge or experience, their personal contacts and their influence in national and international circles can further the aims set by Bilderberg.' (Retinger, cited in Sklar p. 168)

17. Bilderberg Secrecy of Success The annual Bilderberg Group conference is one of the most important meetings in the world. It is attended annually by more world leaders, more top politicians, more royalty, and business leaders, than any other gathering of any kind. The G8 summit is a mere side-show in comparison. No other meeting is attended by the leaders of all the major international institutions, such as the World Bank, the IMF, the UN, and the EU.Collectively, these are the men who control the world, and their decisions therefore affect every human being on earth, now and in the future. Yet Bilderberg Group meetings receive no publicity and are not reported in the news.Their first recorded meeting was at the Bilderberg Hotel in Oosterbeek, Holland, from 29th May to 31st May, 1954. The chairman was H.R.H. Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands. Since then this elite global group, which may be much older, has been called the Bilderberg Group.The people who are invited to the Bilderberg Group, and the topics discussed, are official secrets which the media is forbidden from reporting. Bilderberg is effectively an elite secret society ruling the world from behind closed doors and outside the democratic framework.In a recent Radio documentary the BBC disclosed that the decision to create a European Union was taken at the first official Bilderberg Group meeting in 1953, but the rest of the programme was devoted to portraying Bilderberg as a superficial extension of Western democracy.Who organizes the Bilderberg Group? Who pays for it? What are they discussing? What are they deciding?

18. The Trilateral Commission The Trilateral Commission was established in 1973. Its founder and primary financial angel was international financier, David Rockefeller, longtime chairman of the Rockefeller family-controlled Chase Manhattan Bank and undisputed overlord of his family's global corporate empire. Rockefeller's idea for establishing the commission emerged after he had read a book entitled Between Two Ages written by an Establishment scholar, Prof. Zbigniew Brzezinski of Columbia University. In his book Brzezinski proposed a vast alliance between North America, Western Europe and Japan. According to Brzezinski, changes in the modern world required it. "Resist as it might," Brzezinski wrote elsewhere, "the American system is compelled gradually to accommodate itself to this emerging international context, with the U.S. government called upon to negotiate, to guarantee, and, to some extent, to protect the various arrangements that have been contrived even by private business." In other words, it was necessary for the international upper class to band together to protect its interests, and to ensure, in the developed nations, that political leaders were brought to power who would ensure that the global financial interests would be protected over those of the freemasonry.

19. Why the Trilateral Commission? It was a dissatisfaction with the failure of this group to include Japan that subsequently led to him forming the Trilateral Commission (TC) in July 1973, influenced by, among others, Zbigniew Brzezinski, the National Security Advisor under Carter and the author of Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era, published in 1970. They discussed forming the organization at a Bilderberg Group meeting in Belgium in 1972; Brzezinski subsequently became the inaugural United States director. The Commission also launched its own magazine, the Trialogue. It held the founding session of its Executive Committee in Tokyo in October, 1973. In May 1975 North America, Europe and Japan, comprising some 300 members. The Commission noted that there was a "noticeably increased emphasis on trilateral ties as the cornerstone of American foreign policy". This Commission was to come under media scrutiny when it was later disclosed that Carter appointed 26 former Commission members to senior positions in his Administration. Moreover, it also came out that Carter himself was a former Trilateral member. The Clinton Administration, by contrast, had close to a dozen Commission members, including Clinton himself; both Gerald Ford and George Bush Sr. were also Trilateralists. An important aspect of the Commission is their sending of delegations to visit foreign leaders. In 1989 Rockefeller visited the USSR at the head of a high-powered Commission delegation which included Henry Kissinger, former French President Giscard d'Estaing, former Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, and William Hyland, editor of the CFR's prestigious journal Foreign Affairs. In their meeting with Mikhail Gorbachev, the delegation sought and received an explanation on how the USSR would integrate into the world economy. The information thus gained through such delegations is then relayed back in reports to both the members and to United States political leaders.

20. RULING CLASSES UNITE • The Commission's purpose is to engineer an enduring partnership among the ruling classes of North America, Western Europe and Japan; hence the term “Trilateral” in order to safeguard the interests of Western capitalism in an explosive world. The private commission is attempting to mold public policy and construct a framework for international stability in the coming decades. • To put it simply “The people, governments and economies of all nations must serve the needs of multinational banks and corporations.” • In short, Trilateralism is the current attempt by ruling elites to manage both dependence and democracy at home and abroad. • Sen. Barry Goldwater views the commission as a Rockefeller family operation through and through. According to Goldwater: • "The Trilateral organization created by David Rockefeller was a surrogate -- the members selected by Rockefeller, its purposes defined by Rockefeller, its funding supplied by Rockefeller. David Rockefeller screened and selected every individual who was invited to participate.“ • David Rockefeller begun the process of selecting from among the "Trilateral" nations the several hundred elite power brokers who would be permitted to join in Trilateral policymaking in the coming years. • Rockefeller and Brzezinski selected a handful of well-known liberal Democrats and a scattering of Republicans to serve on the commission. And in an effort to give regional balance to the commission Rockefeller invited the one term Democratic governor of Georgia, Jimmy Carter.

21. Corrupted or Concerned? “The Trilateral Commission, long an exclusive club of influential citizens from the world's most powerful nations, is reaching out to other countries to help find ways to foster democracy and economic freedom.”—Washington Associated Press “Behind closed doors (of course), they are meeting this weekend in Lisbon. Some call them "the shadow government," "the Establishment," the "global elite" that runs the world. They call themselves simply ... the Trilateral Commission. Depending on which conspiracy theory you subscribe to-and the Trilateral Commission has found its way into many-this 19-year-old organization is anti-American, anti-democratic, anti-Christian or anti-worker, and is scheming ultimately to abolish the sovereignty of nations and establish one world government!” --The Washington Post, April 25, 1992 With the lack of media and information covered or revealed about the Trilateral Commission it is controversial as to whether they are promoting world democracy or dominance. What do You Think?

22. Creating Global Leaders The World Economic Forum is an independent international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging leaders in partnerships to shape global, regional and industry agendas. Over the course of its 38-year history, the World Economic Forum has achieved a proud record of accomplishments in advancing progress on key issues of global concern.

23. History and Membership • Not-For-Profit Founded in 1971 • The First Meeting Took place in Davos, Switzerland • Membership by Invitation Only • Foundation Members • Industry and Strategic Partners • Global Growth Companies • The Annual Meetings provides a global platform for four heads of government from the G8 (Germany, Japan, Russia and United Kingdom) as well as China, along with heads of government of G20 members from Africa, Asia and Latin America, to help the international community to understand the origins of the financial crisis and to begin to work on solutions based on a common understanding of where we are.

24. What is the purpose of the World Economic Forum? • Bring together top business leaders, international political leaders, selected intellectuals and journalists • Address and discuss the policy implications of the most pressing issues facing the world. • Promote a world-class corporate governance system where values are as important to conducting business as is the rule of law. • Energize Global Communities • Shape the Global Agenda • Improve the State of the World

25. Why does the world need global leaders? • Today’s global problems cannot be solved by governments alone, by business alone, or by civil society alone. • Cooperation and partnerships are needed. • There is a need for the global leaders to be aware of these problems and to create awareness among others • The Forum fosters a Community of Global Leaders • Leaders of Tomorrow have a Global Responsibility • Global Operations = Workforce Diversity

26. Organizational Growth

27. What Are the Global Elite Planning? Since the credit crisis in 2008, and the stock market collapse soon after, many of those hurt and burnt are now asking questions. Who, what, why and how did this really happen? Whilst many questions are left unanswered. Many people are waking up and doing their own investigations. Their conclusions all come back to one answer. There is a ruling group of elite families and aristocratic bankers whom are responsible for the mess from day one. Their greed and power are second to none and they are indeed planning on planning on rotting the current financial world from the inside out to make way for a new one. Over the next 24 months we will be witness to many major events in the economy. With Europe and Greece already in financial trouble, many people do not realize that there are more similar events on the way. Many people will simply sit back and watch, thinking they are totally by chance. Unfortunately these events are not by chance at all. They are premeditated, designed many years ago by the global elite as they set up their plan to complete a New Financial World Order, right under the noses of those unsuspecting. Here is a list of the top 5 plans of the global elite group. These events will be ones to watch for the next 12 - 24 months. 1) Watch for a complete revaluation of the US dollar. They are planning on devaluing it by 30 - 50% 2) The collapse of Dubai and realization that Dubai will become like a ghost town as the toxic derivatives continue to spiral downhill and affect the rest of the world. 3) Manipulation of oil prices by these elite to bankrupt the once profitable OPEC oil producing countries. 4) Oil prices will most likely affect prices at the gas pump. A tell tale sign would be to watch for wild fluctuations and increasing prices over a short period in 2010. 5) Healthcare fine print. There is a lot of talk over the health care debate recently. But is this really, in a nutshell, gun confiscation, euthanasia, electronic chip control etc. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Jon_Safer
