Le Cercle is a shadowy network of global elites that makes the CIA look like the DMV.
Bilderberg recently announced plans to be more open and friendly to the press — but what about Le Cercle?
If Bilderberg is the shadowy conference everyone whispers about, Le Cercle is the one that doesn’t even make it into the conversation. For many readers, this may be the first time you’ve encountered the name.
Founded in 1952, this corrupt cabal operates with a level of secrecy that makes the Bilderberg Group seem almost transparent by comparison. Smaller, spookier, and infinitely more secretive, Le Cercle has built its reputation as the dark corner of global power. The hidden hand of global politics
An exclusive transatlantic network, conceived and cultivated by conservative European leaders, Le Cercle has operated quietly for well over 70 years.
Founded during the height of the Cold War, Le Cercle was established to unite Western elites and synchronize political and intelligence strategies across borders. Its creation was driven by the era’s pervasive fear of communist expansion and a determination to secure Western economic and military dominance.
Key figures such as Franz Josef Strauss, a vocal anti-communist from West Germany, and Antoine Pinay, a conservative former French prime minister, believed traditional diplomacy was inadequate to meet the threat. They saw covert coordination and strategic manipulation as essential tools in preserving Western hegemony.
In other words, to fight fire, they needed to start fires. To defeat the arsonists, they had to become pyromaniacs.
Over time, this network evolved into a powerful forum for shaping policy. Its members include influential politicians, diplomats, and intelligence operatives. Known for its strong connections to Western intelligence, including the CIA, Le Cercle’s biannual meetings operate under strict confidentiality.
These gatherings have drawn senior U.K. officials, including business secretaries and justice ministers, some of whom received financial support to attend. The group’s deliberately opaque funding only deepens the mystery, raising serious questions about who’s really pulling the strings — and why. But you don’t need a seat at the table to figure out the group's motives are far from pure.
Supporting apartheid
One of the most troubling allegations against Le Cercle is its reported support for apartheid-era South Africa, a regime notorious for its brutal system of racial segregation.
This backing likely wasn’t rooted in racist ideology but in Cold War strategy. For Western powers, South Africa was a crucial ally in the fight against communism in Africa, and its apartheid policies were conveniently overlooked in favor of maintaining strategic dominance.
To the elites steering Le Cercle, South Africa’s value as a geopolitical foothold outweighed the regime’s moral failings. Apartheid wasn’t just a system of segregation — it was a machine of dehumanization. Black South Africans were stripped of their citizenship, forced into squalid homelands, and subjected to relentless state violence. Families were torn apart, dissent crushed, and entire generations were denied basic human dignity.
For Le Cercle to have propped up such a regime speaks volumes about the dark compromises made in the name of power. Shaping the Cold War world
The group’s legacy is tightly bound to Cold War geopolitics, often serving as an extension of U.S. strategic interests. Its actions embodied the era’s prevailing belief that secrecy and subversion were necessary to maintain global dominance.
While NATO and the CIA handled operations more openly, Le Cercle remained behind the curtain, wielding tools like financial manipulation, disinformation, and clandestine military support. Leaked documents suggest it played a role in regime changes and election interference, not just in Western Europe but far beyond. Its shadowy operations were (and still are) aimed at destabilizing governments deemed too hostile to Western interests.
One of the most notable examples is its reported involvement in the downfall of Australia’s Gough Whitlam administration in 1975. Whitlam, a progressive reformer, had clashed with both the U.S. and U.K. over his push for greater national sovereignty, particularly in areas like foreign policy, intelligence, and economic independence. He had questioned the activities of the CIA and sought to close U.S. military bases on Australian soil, including the highly strategic Pine Gap facility.
Whitlam, a blend of Bernie Sanders’ progressive vision and Ron Paul’s anti-establishment defiance, quickly became a thorn in the side of Western powers. His refusal to toe the line and his open defiance of Cold War orthodoxy made him a threat — one that, in the eyes of his adversaries, needed to be removed. And removed he was. In 1975, his government was dismissed in an unprecedented move by the governor-general, an act widely believed to have been influenced by the CIA. Latin Mass and Latin America
In the 1970s and 1980s, Le Cercle reportedly supported far-right regimes in Latin America, aligning itself with U.S. efforts to suppress leftist uprisings. It’s worth noting that the far right in Latin America during this period looked vastly different from the modern-day American far right; these regimes were defined by brutal military juntas, systemic torture, and widespread political assassinations — hardly something most people today would condone.
Le Cercle’s alleged role in Operation Condor — a covert campaign by South American dictatorships to eliminate political dissidents — stands out as particularly egregious. This brutal network of state terror, responsible for the abduction, torture, and murder of thousands, relied heavily on intelligence sharing and financial backing. Le Cercle’s suspected involvement in facilitating these operations highlights its readiness to act as a shadowy enabler of Cold War repression, even crossing ethical and legal lines to achieve its goals.
The group’s connections weren’t limited to Latin America. Le Cercle also maintained deep ties to the Vatican, a formidable player in Cold War geopolitics. The group exploited the Vatican’s global networks to push its anti-communist agenda, with some members linked to synarchist and ultraconservative factions within the Church. The group's efforts blended religion with realpolitik, dressing up blatant political manipulation as righteous moral crusades.
Were these people doing God’s work? Well, if God’s work involves propping up juntas, funding death squads, and fostering fear in the name of stability, then perhaps. I’ll let you decide if this particular circle can ever be squared.
The CIA already looks like the DMV.
If this group backed apartheid without also backing its opponents at the same time, then they’re not a real cabal.
“In the 1970s and 1980s, Le Cercle reportedly supported far-right regimes in Latin America”
Again, if they didn’t fund both sides of all conflicts, then they’re not operating as a cabal.
Have they read Psalm 2?
Living under apartheid was objectively better than living under the current ANC thug socialism.
Yikes.
[Have they read Psalm 2?]
They’ll be crying out for the rocks to fall on them at the end of the 7 years of ‘Peace and Security’
[Have they read Psalm 2?]
As good a time as any to help a few folks out there that may be unfamiliar with God’s Word:
Psalm 2
King James Version
2 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the Earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against His Anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set My King upon My holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto Me, Thou art My Son; this day have I begotten Thee.
8 Ask of Me, and I shall give Thee the heathen for Thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the Earth for Thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a Rod of Iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the Earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him.

Spectre bump for later...
Amen!
[He had questioned the activities of the CIA and sought to close U.S. military bases on Australian soil, including the highly strategic Pine Gap facility.] (1975)
I am reminded of druggies Boyce and Lee in 1977 attempting to compromise Rhyolite intelligence-gathering satellites.
One satellite (I believe geo-sync orbit below the equator on the far side of the planet) downloaded to the Pine Gap facility in the Outback of Australia (in the area of Nurrungar). Information was relayed to the Black Vault at TRW’s facility in Redondo Beach, California, if memory serves.
The coded information was sent and had to be decoded using daily punch cards which were then destroyed in a blender with water. Black Vault operations people would mix drinks using the blender(s) and the shredder(s).
Boyce and Lee headed to Mexico City to try and sell an operations manual for a Rhyolite to the Russians for $3,000 cash. The Russians figured out that the NSA was on to them, called the Mexican police, and at deportation were met by NSA personnel at the American border.
Whichever one, Boyce or Lee, Boyce I think, was not liking what he was reading about regime change being done by the CIA and decided to commit treason (probably a good excuse for drug money too, given his past).
Boyce’s father (if I’ve got the right guy) helped him get the job at TRW’s Black Vault (at least that’s what I read). TRW was a major contractor on the satellite series.
[and at deportation (Boyce or Boyce and Lee) were met by NSA personnel at the American border.]
I hate it that they always put the chapter instead of (1) on the first verse - I don’t always remember to fix that.
God bless!
For whom?
For the vast majority of south africans. They had reliable power, food/crops, water and sewer that worked, society wasn’t running insane mad like it is now there.
Under the socialist anc they have turned that country into a completely unworking bloody hellhole. Its frigging Thunderdome.
“Le Cercle also maintained deep ties to the Vatican, a formidable player in Cold War geopolitics.

Well, if this so-called “Le Cercle” once allied with the Vatican to push an “anti-communist agenda” “ultra-conservativism,” that alliance is obviously dead. Exhibit A: Pope Bergoglio, an unapologetic man of the left who never met a leftist he didn’t love nor a conservative he didn’t hate.
