I knew it! I just knew someone was gonna call me a nut case! But, seriously, look at the complete list of members (not just the ones I posted, but all of them on the website), and think about the oversized egos and political and economic ambitions of those people, and decide for yourself whether you think it's a good thing for them to be able to meet and make decisions that affect us all, and to do it out of the public eye.

To the extent that Sailormon6 seems to see some threat from the free assembly of free men to discuss issues of common interest and to the extent that he would tie the Trilateral Commision in with the other groups mentioned by mtboat, I'd say that, in this case, he's shopping in the after dinner delicacies section of the market.

I see little to fear from the meeting of a group of intelligent and powerful men to discuss issues that may concern them no more than I do my local Rotary or Elks organizations. I have heard that, unlike the Elks, the Trilateral Commission does have an open bar policy at it's meetings. Given that these people have been unable to so much as rig an election in one of your more mineral rich third world nations to their own benefit, I fail to see how they constitute a threat to grazing rights policies of your midwestern sheep herder, let alone the rest of the world's huddled masses.

Did someone mention the John Birch Society? You can't even get a hold of their literature at your seedier truck stops anymore. The KKK has better membership roles than the JB'ers, which is to say, virtually nonexistant.

It's been some time since I've caught the morning show on C-Span and my crystal radio crapped out again so i'm not picking up the late night AM radio signals I once did. All of which means that I've grown hopelessly out of touch with the OneWorlders. Is the Prescott Bush/Joe Kennedy/Henry Ford research project still running? Those of us with jobs, and voter registration cards, have hardly the ability to keep up on the nefarious activities of these groups and so any enlightenment would not go unappreciated.

If a man learned that his wife had retired to a motel room, and spent the night there with his neighbor, I doubt that he would conclude that they had spent the night reading the Bible. Likewise, I think it's healthy to believe that the most powerful men in the world, who formed this organization expressly to exert their control over the world's economy for their mutual enrichment, are not thinking about what might be in the best interests of us ordinary folks.

We analyze, debate and scrutinize every word and every action of our legislators and President, but nobody seems to be the least bit interested in what these people are doing, even though they collectively control more economic power than any nation in the world. I don't know that they're doing anything wrong, but they have such a potential for wrongdoing that I don't think they should be permitted to escape scrutiny.

I would differ with Sailormon6 in that I find the power of ideas to be much more relevant than the power of money in the world. I also find it highly unlikely that such powerful men would choose to meet for the mere purpose of either increasing their power or forming any type of coalition of the powerful. Most would see a decrease in both power and wealth under such a scenario. I would offer the fractious group of baseball owners as an example of what transpires when such men meet. (g)

Given that the Trilateral commision has been around since 1973 it is amazing how little they have accomplished. One might have thought that the subjugation, domination, and control of Bill Gates and the entire information technology world would have been easily within their grasp back when Mr. Gates was a mere mortal. To the extent that such as Dr. Kissinger was merely a very learned professor prior to government service and is once again one, his most powerful days have been seen as Secretary of State and National Security Advisor serving US presidents and that is where he would have performed any dastardly deeds.

I was not aware of these individuals meeting in seedy motels or, from another point of attack, my neighbor and my wife could plausibly meet at 100 other locations which would arouse no suspicions within me that they are doing other than Bible reading or discussing composting techniques. Perhaps, like the Trilateral Commission, they just enjoy discussing subjects of mutual interest.

perchance, they may be meeting at an IHOP in Covington west virginia.....

just to laugh at these conspiricy theorists.

ccam,
If you read some of Sailormon6's other posts I doubt that you'll be inclined to think there is much likelyhood of him voting Democrat any time soon.

The man consulted his GPS and replied, " You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above mean sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14 minutes, 29 seconds North latitude and your longitude is 100 degrees, 49 minutes, 12 seconds West.

She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican." "I am", the man replied, "How did you know?" "Well", answered the balloonist, "everything you told me appears to be technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I am still lost. Frankly, you have not been much help to me."

The man laughed and responded, "You must be a Democrat." "I am", replied the balloonist, "How did you know?" "Well", said the man, "You don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now it's my fault."

Good joke...

Isn't is amazing that your United States Democrats (which are our Socialists in Europe - Liberal), and your Republicans (which are our Social Democrats - Conservative), all behave the same no matter where their "field of operation" is????

That joke applies to my Government too.

Ever notice how quite often a liberal becomes conservative, but rarely does a conservstive become liberal.

True true true.....

I agree....

in April 1974, there was a revolution in Portugal, called the "Carnation revolution", where a bunch of militian officers, tired of the Colonial wars we had going at the same time (Angola, Moçambique, Timor, Guiné, Cabo Verde,São Tomé), and the fact that as militians they were not getting the same treatment as Carrer officers, stopped the Fascit Governement we had until then.

As a result, the country plunged into a decade of uncontrol, and chaos, that lasted almost until 1988.

Anyway, fruit of those "uncontrolled" and multiple governemnt years, a new breed of politicians was born, most with Marxist Leninist ideals, Comunist principles and the majority Socilaistic entrepeneurs (Democrats for you)...

As times changed, we joined the European Union, and most of these "BS politicians" got richer, and even became capitalists...

It funny to see the videos from when in the late seventies they marched, side by side, fists in the air, shouting words of order in strikes, manifestations and political seminars, against the then lords of power and wealth, in the name of the the "labour", and in the name of equality for the work force, and now, 20 years later, most are CEO's and owners of large corporations, and even hardcore ministers and Mayors, and now they are on the other side...completely changed the speech, and now, as rich entrepeneur, they booo the socialists (democrats) they once were...

We call them "vira casacas", which means roughly "turn your coat inside out".....

But you're right, they seem to migrate from Socialist (democratic) to Social Democratic (Republican), as they get richer and the wind blows their boat...I don't know of a case where the opposite happened...

This is what I see in my Country...I don't really care about politics....just what I see...as far as I am concerned...our Socilaists (your democrats) have NO IDEAS, our Social Democrats (repuiblicans for you) have S****Y IDEAS....

They're all the same to me...give me give me give me......
