Flashback: when Jimmy Carter was a pawn for David Rockefeller<\/span><\/p>\n

Presidents don’t run the real show. They follow rules others make. They stand out in front and try to look Presidential. They agree to the Big Con.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For example, Jimmy Carter was a pawn on David Rockefeller’s chessboard. Carter was plucked out of nowhere to run for President by Rockefeller’s Trilateral Commission (TC).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The TC is explained, by its members, as a \u201cforum for discussion of issues,\u201d but of course it isn’t. It’s much more powerful than that.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is a close-up snap shot of a remarkable moment from out of the past. It\u2019s a through-the-looking-glass secret\u2013in the form of a conversation between a reporter, Jeremiah Novak, and two Trilateral Commission members, Karl Kaiser and Richard Cooper. <\/span><\/p>\n

The interview took place in 1978. It concerned the issue of who exactly, during President Carter\u2019s administration, was formulating US economic and political policy.<\/span><\/p>\n

The careless and off-hand attitude of Trilateralists Kaiser and Cooper is astonishing. It\u2019s as if they\u2019re saying, \u201cWhat we\u2019re revealing is already out in the open, it\u2019s too late to do anything about it, why are you so worked up, we\u2019ve already won\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

NOVAK (the reporter): Is it true that a private [Trilateral committee] led by Henry Owen of the US and made up of [Trilateral] representatives of the US, UK, West Germany, Japan, France and the EEC is coordinating the economic and political policies of the Trilateral countries [which would include the US]?<\/span><\/p>\n

COOPER: Yes, they have met three times.<\/span><\/p>\n

NOVAK: Yet, in your recent paper you state that this committee should remain informal because to formalize \u2018this function might well prove offensive to some of the Trilateral and other countries which do not take part.\u2019 Who are you afraid of?<\/span><\/p>\n

KAISER: Many countries in Europe would resent the dominant role that West Germany plays at these [Trilateral] meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n

COOPER: Many people still live in a world of separate nations, and they would resent such coordination [of policy].<\/span><\/p>\n

NOVAK: But this [Trilateral] committee is essential to your whole policy. How can you keep it a secret or fail to try to get popular support [for its decisions on how Trilateral member nations will conduct their economic and political policies]?<\/span><\/p>\n

COOPER: Well, I guess it\u2019s the press\u2019 job to publicize it.<\/span><\/p>\n

NOVAK: Yes, but why doesn\u2019t President Carter come out with it and tell the American people that [US] economic and political power is being coordinated by a [Trilateral] committee made up of Henry Owen and six others?After all, if [US] policy is being made on a multinational level, the people should know.<\/span><\/p>\n

COOPER: President Carter and Secretary of State Vance have constantly alluded to this in their speeches.<\/span><\/p>\n

KAISER: It just hasn\u2019t become an issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

(Source: \u201cTrilateralism: The Trilateral Commission and Elite Planning for World Management,\u201d ed. by Holly Sklar, 1980. South End Press, Boston. Pages 192-3.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, although Kaiser and Cooper claimed everything being manipulated by the Trilateral Commission committee was already out in the open, it wasn\u2019t. <\/span><\/p>\n

Their interview slipped under the mainstream media radar, which is to say, it was ignored and buried. It didn\u2019t become a scandal on the level of, say, Watergate, although its essence was far larger than Watergate.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Carter won the presidential election, his aide, Hamilton Jordan, said that if after the inauguration, Cy Vance and Brzezinski came on board as secretary of state and national security adviser, \u201cWe\u2019ve lost. And I\u2019ll quit.\u201d Lost\u2013because both men were powerful members of the Trilateral Commission and their appointment to key positions would signal a surrender of White House control to the Commission.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vance and Brzezinski <\/span>were<\/span><\/em> appointed secretary of state and national security adviser, as Jordan feared. But he didn\u2019t quit. He became Carter\u2019s chief of staff.<\/span><\/p>\n
