The Trilateral Commission is a private organization, established to foster closer cooperation between America, Europe and Japan. It was founded in July 1973, at the initiative of David Rockefeller; who was Chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations at that time. The Trilateral Commission is widely seen as a counterpart to the Council on Foreign Relations. He pushed the idea of including Japan at the Bilderberg meetings he was attending but was rebuffed. Along with Zbigniew Brzezinski and a few other people, including individuals from the Brookings Institution, Council on Foreign Relations [CFR] and the Ford Foundation, he convened initial meetings out of which grew the Trilateral organization.

The list goes on and on. if you look it up on Wikipedia. All who warned against this kept getting shot down as 'area 51' nuts and kooks. But, it seems that they could see the writing on the wall just like the prophet Daniel.
No real prophet was ever welcomed in his own time. (sigh)
