[Queen] "Nobody, Paul has been as close to a member of my family as you have... There are powers at work in this country about which we have no knowledge."

 

[Paul] "She wanted me to make sure my wife Maria and children remained safe. It was not a threat, it was sound advice. She had my interests at heart…No-one had ever warned me like that. It made me suddenly realize the magnitude of the situation. It was obviously much, much bigger than I had ever thought."

- Queen Elizabeth II to Paul Burrell in a 3-hour talk at Buckingham Palace, November 1997. Burrell was Diana's Butler for the 10 years prior to her death. Reported in an interview with the Daily Mirror, November 6, 2002. The Mirror also wrote the story 'Shadows that Haunt the Queen' on the same day in which they wondered what the queen meant with this statement.


"The known history of civilization is merely the visible part of the iceberg. There is a shadow economy, shadow politics and also a shadow history, known to conspirologists. There are forces acting in the world, unstoppable for countries and even continents."

 

"There are international "super-state" and "super-government" groups. In accordance with tradition, the mystical and religious components play extremely important roles in human history. One must take into account the shadow economy, shadow politics and the religious component, while predicting the development of the present financial situation."

 

"Shadow financial activities of 300 trillion dollar are hanging over the planet. At any moment, they could fall on any stock exchange and cause panic and a crash."

 

"The U.S. has been chosen as the object of financial attack because the financial center of the planet is located there. The effect will be maximal. The strike waves of economic crisis will spread over the planet instantly and will remind us of the blast of a huge nuclear bomb."

 

"President Putin and the Russian Central Bank are already taking the necessary healthy measures. There are high chances that after 19 August the ruble will become a very good currency... Some fluctuation in this date is possible. Serious forces are acting against those who are now preparing the attack on the United States. August, with very high probability, will bring the financial catastrophe to the U.S."

 

- July 12, 2001, Dr. Tatyana Koryagina to Pravda (page one). She is a senior research fellow at the Institute of Macroeconomic Researches subordinated to Russian Ministry of Economic Development (Minekonom). She is reportedly close to President Putin's inner circle. The interview was reported and translated by Newsmax's Dr. Alexandr Nemets, September 17, 2001. Nemets noticed there were many similar reports circulating in Russia since July. He also remarked that immediately after 911 the dollar exchange rate in Moscow street exchanges fell from 29 rubles to 15-20 rubles, which was greater than anywhere else in the world: "as if the Moscow financial experts had awaited the strikes or expected greater panic and collapse."


"German computer experts are working around the clock to unlock the truth behind an unexplained surge in financial transactions made just before two hijacked planes crashed into New York's World Trade Center Sept. 11."

 

"Richard Wagner, a data retrieval expert at the company, said illegal transfers of more than $100 million might have been made immediately before and during the disaster."

"There is a suspicion that some people had advance knowledge of the approximate time of the plane crashes in order to move out amounts exceeding $100 million," Wagner said. "They thought that the records of their transactions could not be traced after the main frames were destroyed."

- September, 18, 2001, BBC


"The Chicago Board Options Exchange, the biggest U.S. options market, said Tuesday it is investigating trading before terrorist attacks that flattened New York's World Trade Center and damaged the Pentagon."

 

"Trading in some so-called put options, which rise in value when stock prices fall, surged as much as 285 times the previous average volume in UAL Corp. and AMR Corp., parent companies of United and American Airlines, during the days before terrorists used hijacked United and American jets as weapons against the center's twin towers and the Pentagon."

 

"Options volume also jumped at some insurers and at brokerages affected by the attacks. Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co., which occupied 22 floors of the 110-story 2 World Trade Center, experienced pre-attack trading of some put options that was more than 25 times the usual volume."

 

- Chicago Sun-Times, September 19, 2001. One of a few dozen similar news articles.


“There exists a shadowy Government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself."

- Senator Daniel K. Inouye during the Iran-Contra hearings.


“Yes, yes, there are powerful elites yes, still…for example…everybody knows who’s calling the shots in the CDA [leading political party in the Netherlands]. That are only 2,3,4,5,6 people… above all, one is loyal…others are being judged if they can behave themselves a little bit; if they can rise in the hierarchy…most are only concerned with ‘what do the leaders think of me?’…People leave no opportunities open to denigrate a fellow party member. But of course you’ll find that in other areas as well…newspapers, tv, the justice department…very little about it is independent.”

- 2003, Bram Peper, former Dutch Minister of Internal Affairs and former Mayor of Rotterdam. This statement was made in the Dutch documentary 'het grote complot'. During this interview he also mentioned the ERT, an organization I had never heard of until that moment.


"At this moment, the people in power, the involved ministers, usually together with the party leaders, are discussing beforehand how they are going to behave during their public debate, without any one of the other party members being present at that time. Usually it even goes as far that they are discussing the ‘probable' proposals of the opposition, which ones are acceptable and which ones are not. Also… how every party can remain in the debate without being humiliated. Most of the time it is already arranged which party can enforce something from the government… there is very little room for individual action. "

- 2003, Dries van Agt. Among other things, he was a Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Justice, head of the CDA (major political party), and Vice-Prime Minister of the Netherlands. This statement was made in the Dutch documentary 'het grote complot'.


"Societies do not usually lose their freedom at a blow. They give it up bit by bit, letting themselves be tied down with an infinity of little knots. As rules and regulations increase, their range of action is gradually compressed. Their options slowly lessen. Without noticing the change, they become wards of the state. They still imagine themselves free, but in a thousand and one ways, their choices are limited and guided by the authorities. And always, there are what seem to be sensible reasons for letting their autonomy be peeled away: "Safety." "Health." "Social justice." "Equal opportunity."

 

"It is easy to grow accustomed to docility. That is why eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Not because liberty is easy to shatter. But because it can be softened and dismantled with the acquiescence of the very men and women from whom it is being stolen."

 

- November 12, 1998, Jeff Jacoby in his Boston Globe column.


"Well, er, I think all this is very, er, one sided propaganda. [long break] Much more so then with the first Gulf war."

- March 2003, Wim Duisenberg, at that moment still president of the European Central Bank, gives his opinion about US media coverage of Gulf War II. He does this 'privately' after a (Dutch) Tegenlicht documentary producer asks his opinion about a US media station he's watching. Duisenberg was (he died in 2005) married to Gretta Duisenberg, a very controversial opponent of what she terms the "Jewish lobby." She claims Bush does not dare to stand up to them, just as many other international politicians. Among other things, in 2002, she hung out a large Palestinian flag out of her balcony, right in the middle of a wealthy Jewish neighborhood. In no time, Duisenberg, who always quietly supported his wife, was forced to take it down due to all the death threats the pair received. Former high level politician Dries van Agt is one her supporters. Today she is less prominent after her husband stepped down from the ECB presidency and subsequently died 2 years later.


"We Chinese will prepare ourselves for the destruction of all of the cities east of Xian... Of course, the Americans will have to be prepared that hundreds of cities will be destroyed by the Chinese."

- July 16, 2005, The Guardian, 'Chinese general warns of nuclear risk to US'. The quote is from the Chinese major general Zhu Chenghu.

 

 

 
     
   

The people with the endless bios
An introduction to the world we live in - Part one

Turns out it's quite a challenge to write a decent introduction to the information available on this website. The issue at hand is enormously complex and a lot of work still needs to be done. We'll give it a try anyway and discuss the history of the globalist movement, including 19th century Britain, the US, Canada, Israel, the European Union, and the opening up of both Russia and China. In the process we'll determine the absolute core of this globalist network and provide an extensive biography with each name. Then we'll put forth a theory that might explain why ordinary politics and the hidden globalist group go hand-in-hand without the latter being exposed by anyone on "the inside," whatever that means. At the end we'll take a look at who's behind the sustainable development movement and the United Nations while discussing the rather disturbing information that was brought to light by George Hunt in the late 1980s and early 1990s. I suggest you pay attention to the fine print in this article and read the biographies provided, otherwise it will be much more difficult to see how this relatively small group of people are all closely knit together.

The basic premise of this article is that an old boys network of low-profile, privately-funded, and intelligence-ridden institutes exercise a huge amount of influence over local governments, the media, universities (science), and the policies of the multinational corporations (who fund these networks). The names of about 150 of these institutes have been listed in appendix A and about 1400 names plus biographies, ranging from the most complete available to very basic, are available in the different membership lists. A smaller list of globalist institutes are chronologically ordered in Appendix B, together with the persons who founded them and some of the connections they had. Appendix C contains the genealogies of the Rothschild, Warburg, Rockefeller, and Morgan families, which might come in handy at times. A partial Cecil bloodline is also listed there, although, as you'll see, that one has been compiled for a different reason.

Below you can see a simplified sketch of the network that will be discussed. At this point I consider The Pilgrims, Le Cercle, and the 1001 the umbrella organizations, because together they encompass all aspects of the globalist movement: the leadership of all the other private globalist institutes, Anglo-American business and banking, multinationals worldwide (1001), old blue blood family lines, Western and Middle-Eastern intelligence, the illegal arms trade (1), and the environmental movement. If there is a group that keeps these three organizations in line it will exercise a huge amount of direct and indirect influence over many parts of the world. The question is, is there such a group?


The Pilgrims Society is the organization which consistently recruits only very elitist members of society, many with nearly endless resumes. Le Cercle is more mixed, but all participants are intelligence insiders. The 1001 Club recruits the most influential businessmen from all over the world, but also some lower level WWF employees. The WWF is very tight-lipped about this club though, as you can see in the 1001 Club article on this website.

In any case, it's abundantly clear that all roads lead to London. All three organizations, the Pilgrims, the 1001, and Le Cercle, have been set up and are managed by a combination of Anglophiles and zionists (2). The Pilgrims were primarily set up by the elite Privy Council and Garter families. In fact, the person who came up with the name 'Pilgrims' was a great grandfather of the late Princess Diana (3). The British monarch became the official head of the Pilgrims Society and members of the royal family have always attended the London meetings. The 1001 Club was mainly created by Prince Philip and the South-African billionaire Anton Rupert. Officially the 1001 only coordinates the WWF, but many members, who represent a huge chunk of the conventional environmental movement, seem more occupied with Anglo-America's need for natural resources. And Le Cercle, a shady international intelligence group, is run by Privy Councilors and Rothschild associates. The latest head of the Cecil family, a Privy Councilor, is also a participant in today's meetings.

Just to clarify a bit: the Privy Council, the most senior advisory body to the queen and the highest organ within the Commonwealth itself, largely serves a ceremonial role these days, at least in Britain itself. On the other hand, it's obvious that only the most trusted aides of the Financial Empire ever receive such an appointment. Members represent high level politics, official and private intelligence, and the senior military positions. Bank of England officials are also quite common in the Privy Council ranks. The Commonwealth consists of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, large chunks of southern Africa, and a few other countries in the rest of the world.

The Order of the Garter is another elitist body about which some confusion exists. It is the highest and oldest order of chivalry (Templar) in England and, as with the Privy Council, only some of the most trusted aides of the Financial Empire are given life membership. I wouldn't put it above or below the earlier mentioned societies. It's just different. And we'll leave it at that.

Where the globalist movement started

Zionism and the interests of the British Empire were informally merged no later than 1891, the year that the Rhodes secret society was created (4). Robert Cecil, the 3rd Marquess of Salisbury (Order of the Garter; Privy Council; chancellor of Oxford University; member of what is quite possibly the most influential blue blood family in British history with many Knights of the Garter, Privy Councilors, and members connected to the occult; earlier (female) members of the Cecils intermarried with the de Vere family, but created no offspring. De Vere family members seemingly consider themselves part of the Archdruid-Elven-Fairy-Dragon race and have an obsession with specific genes (5)) represented the British Empire and was the primary coordinator of the later Round Table, the group the Rhodes secret society evolved into. The zionists were represented by Baron Nathan de Rothschild, who's French cousin, Baron Edmond, started to buy up land in Palestine in 1882 (6). The birth of political zionism was only a few years away, which cannot be entirely ascribed to the Rothschilds, but they certainly became its most powerful backers. The person that seems to have brought these different interests closer together was the British politician Benjamin Disraeli, who later in his life became the first Jewish Prime Minister of England. He was a very close friend to Queen Victoria (7), the Cecil family (8), and Lionel de Rothschild (father of Nathan) (9). Over time he managed to water down the distrust the Queen and the Cecils had against the Jews. In part due to his support, Lionel de Rothschild was able to become the first Jewish member of Parliament. Nathan Mayer Rothschild (close friend of Edward VII well before this person became king) subsequently became a baron in 1884 and started to finance Cecil Rhodes' adventures in South-Africa (10). In 1891 Rhodes created De Beers mining company together with his secret society. Everything was financed by the Rothschilds and looked over by Lord Robert Cecil. After Rhodes died in 1902, Alfred Milner (Order of the Garter; Privy Council; director and later chairman Rio Tinto, which was owned for 1/3 by the Rothschilds in 1905 (11)) took over from him. Milner is known to have visited Edward Cecil (son of the 3rd Marquess of Salisbury and an aide-de-camp to Pilgrims Society member, Privy Councilor, and Knight of the Garter Lord Kitchener) and Lord Rothschild (12). When in 1917 the Balfour Declaration was sent from foreign secretary Arthur J. Balfour (Privy Council; Knight of the Garter; nephew of the 3rd Marquess of Salisbury; occultist) to Lord Lionel de

  Rothschild (son of Nathan; head family bank), we know for sure that zionism became an official British policy next to the maintenance of the British Empire. In 1924, after the Cecil-drafted League of Nations (13) put Palestine under a British Mandate, Edmond de Rothschild set up his Palestine Jewish Colonization Association (PICA). Edmond's importance in the creation of Israel has been acknowledged by his good friend David Ben-Gurion (14 & 15), the first Prime Minister of the newly established state. Through the Pilgrims Society members, the British Empire and the later Commonwealth unofficially included the United States.

Quigley has described how the Round Table, with their main US ally J.P. Morgan, set up the Royal Institute of International Affairs, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Institute for Pacific Relations in the 1918-1925 period, although he seems to have missed the Pilgrims Society, established in 1902 in London and in 1903 in New York. This same Round Table, or wider Pilgrims Society group, also established the Federal Reserve and the Rockefeller Foundation, both in 1913 (all these people can be found in the Pilgrims Society membership list). The Carnegie network, which was (and is) especially influential on the Western educational system, was also set up during this time period, starting with the Carnegie Institution of Washington in 1902, an organization for scientific discovery; the Carnegie Endowment in 1910, which became an intelligence and big business ridden geopolitical think tank for global peace; and the Carnegie Corporation of New York in 1911, which is the grant making part of the Carnegie network. Today this institute donates dozens of millions a year to all the major universities in the United States and southern Africa (16). Grants are also made to organizations like the CFR, the RIIA, the American Assembly, the UN, the American Red Cross, the Museum of Jewish Heritage, and the American Museum of Natural History. Our little Hegelian Social Darwinist (literally), once born in a poor family of handloom weavers, had a very different background than most of his later associates. Around 1870 he already was a wealthy self-made man, but only after some crucial help from the London banker Junius S. Morgan (father J.P. Morgan; worked for George Peabody, who supposedly was a Rothschild agent; after Carnegie's joint venture in the steel industry

went awry due to financial problems of his partners, Peabody finally sold his bonds to "London investors") in 1874, he rose to became the most powerful industrialist of the US, next to J.P. Morgan. His primary associates, who inspired and guided him in the founding of the different Carnegie Institutions, were Daniel Coit Gilman (incorporated Skull & Bones into the Russell Trust 50 years earlier), Nicholas Murray Butler (head of Columbia University; major totalitarian Hegelian US educator; President of the Pilgrims Society; Bohemian Grove; associate of J.P. Morgan and Robert Cecil - 1st Viscount of Chelwood; co-founder League of Nations), and Elihu Root (Pilgrims Society; official founder CFR; close friend of Butler).

Of course, even in the early days there

 

Three of the men are confirmed members of the Pilgrims Society. The fourth, Gilman, will undoubtedly turn out to be another one. Especially Butler was a very close associate of the Morgans and Cecils. Update: What did I tell ya? A "Gilman, Daniel C." appears on a 1903 Pilgrims Society list. Thanks, Dave.
existed a wider network of private clubs where society's elite met with each other. The freemasonic lodges had been around for two centuries, just as its Celtic counterpart, the Druid groves. The annual Bohemian Grove event had become an exclusive elite gathering after news of the Cremation of Care reached the papers in Washington and New York at the turn of the 20th century. There was the Cosmos Club in Washington and the very old White's Club in London. At the student level you had clubs like Skull & Bones (Yale), Scroll & Key (Yale), the Porcellian Club (Harvard), Cap & Gown (Princeton), the Ivy Club (Princeton), The Apostles (Cambridge), and the Rhodes scholars (Oxford). There were many more regional clubs where members of the old aristocratic families and the newly rich interacted with each other (and as a result, outside of the clubs). This network was the permanent government of the time; officials only reached the White House if they had enough friends within these circles. And when these people left office again, this network made sure they got another (better paying) job. The tiny group of Round Table financiers; the Warburgs, Jacob Schiff, the Rockefellers, the Morgans, and the Rothschilds, can probably be referred to as the secret government of the time and even today we know very little about the things they discussed in the backrooms. What we do know is that they had (and have) quite an obsession with "global peace" since the early part of the 20th century (17).

Post WWII

During and right after WWII a lot of things changed. The United States, the New Atlantis, according to one early Cecil family associate (18), became the most powerful nation on the planet. The United Nations, the World Bank, the IMF, and NATO were born, all set up by members of the CFR, the RIIA, and its umbrella organization: the Pilgrims Society (19). By this time the Morgan family had lost control of the family bank although it was safely in the hands of the Pilgrims Society members. The Rockefellers now certainly became the undisputed number one family of the United States. Following the overt institutions, their covert counterparts soon followed: the United States Council for International Business in 1945, the Mont Pelerin Society in 1947, Atlantik-Brücke in 1952, Bilderberg in 1954, and followed in the 1960s and 1970s by many dozens of other hidden (as in, not or seldom mentioned in the news or schoolbooks, so their influence on society is for the most part unknown) national and transnational think tanks and discussion groups. The whole globalist movement became much more professional and organized. The Atlantic Institute of International Affairs, the Pinay Circle, the Economic League, the US-USSR Trade and Economic Council, the Trilateral Commission, and the 1001 Club are all examples of enormously

  influential institutes that seldom (or never) have received any serious attention in the mainstream media. Almost everyone believes that the overt organizations have brought us this globalized world we live in today, while in reality it has been the covert network that initiated the process in almost every case. The Pilgrims Society remained one of the most elite gatherings of British and American globalist insiders, although, as the newspaper archives show, it started to drop off the radar screen in the early 1950s and was almost completely gone by the 1960s. Is it possible that Project Mockingbird started to achieve its intended results?

The speed at which the globalization process advanced, further increased in the 1980s and 1990s. The main focus of the globalist movement now became the European Union, where many of the later key institutions were established. Among these were the European Round Table in 1983, the Association for the Monetary Union of Europe from 1987 to 2002, the European Institute in 1987, the EU-Japan Business Roundtable in 1995, the Trans-Atlantic Business Dialogue in 1995, the Centre for European Reform in 1996, Friends of Europe in 1999, and the European Financial Services Round Table in 2001.

A university study in international relations is probably an exception (to some degree), but generally these institutes are not mentioned in the textbooks. The average person, even today, knows very little, if anything, about them. The education system only teaches the public-political side of the European Union: the European Council, the Council of Ministers, the European Parliament, the European Court of Justice, and the European Commission.

The question then becomes, do these private institutions have any influence, and if they do, just how much? Unfortunately, as far as I have seen, the combined influence has never been examined, but about all these institutions individually it has been reported that their influence is quite substantive. For example, the Belgian Jan Puype, the only journalist at the moment who has attended a meeting of the ERT, reported (translated from Dutch) (20):

Puype: "I was a guest at the birthday party of the ERT, which existed 20 years in 2003. That gave a surreal feeling. I was the only journalist and walked between De Benedetti, Davignon, Leysen, Prodi, 'What am I doing here for God's sake', I was thinking. But is was very interesting to see how things were done, of course..."

Solidair: "In your book you describe how ERT-chairman Gerhard Cromme [ThyssenKrupp; CFR] teaches European Commission chairman Romano Prodi a lesson for criticizing the United States."

Puype: "I thought I was hallucinating. Prodi was put in his place like a little kid. It became even more remarkable when the Commission chairman started to speak himself. He held a speech like 'friends, I will not do it again and I will be good from now on'. A completely different Prodi then the man I saw on television raising his finger in the air against the Americans."

"You can't say that the ERT decides everything that happens in Europe, but her influence is enormous... The ERT has a very efficient way of lobbying. The members write papers on the direction Europe should be going in terms of the environment, competition, technology, etc. Once these papers are finished inside the ERT, the machine starts running. The club sends out a team of delegates consisting of the most important members to the European Commission. Individual members take the messages to their national governments. The ERT thinks very pro-active. She is often the first to work on certain issues. That is also her strength. The introduction of the single currency, the Maastricht-Treaty, the Channel Tunnel, or the [EU's] expansion to the east: that all started at the ERT."

Is this surprising? Not really if you look at the founders of the ERT. These were the Belgian catholic Etienne Davignon and the Swedish zionist Pehr Gyllenhammar (21). At that time, Gyllenhammar, who is usually seen as the primary founder, was an 11-year member of the International Advisory Committee of the Rockefeller's Chase Manhattan Bank. Additionally, during the time that Gyllenhammar was busy establishing the ERT, he was approached by Henry Kissinger to join the board of his newly established Kissinger Associates (22). In 1999 Gyllenhammar became a senior partner and managing director of Lazard Partners (after having been a senior advisor since 1996) and today he is vice-chairman of Rothschild Europe, chairman of the Rothschild pension funds, and the founding chairman of the earlier mentioned European Financial Services Round Table. Gyllenhammar is also a member of the advisory board of PlaNet Finance, "an international non profit organization, which aims at alleviating poverty by contributing to the development of the microfinance sector." Other members of the board are Boutros Boutros-Ghali (Secretary-General of the United Nations), Michel David-Weill (owns Lazard), Felix Rohatyn (Lazard partner), Jacques Delors (former European Commission president; organized The European Institute, headed for the past couple of years by a Rothschild employee (23)), Shimon Peres (premier of Israel 1984-1986 & 1995-1996; Labor party; director of Mikhail Gorbachev's Green Cross, which is partnered with Rockefeller-Rothschild protege and New Age guru Maurice Strong), and Etienne Davignon.

Davignon, as a vice-president of the European Commission, earlier challenged Gyllenhammar to put together a group of top European businessmen to lobby the

April 6 & 7, 1983, first meeting of the ERT. Gyllenhammar and Davignon are sitting in the bottom row, persons 4 and 5 from the left.
  European Commission (which became the ERT). At some point Davignon became a close friend to Kissinger (24) and also joined the board of Kissinger Associates (25), although seemingly in a later stage. The shortest possible version of Davignon's biography without omitting too many important facts goes something like this: Chair and still vice-chair Société Générale de Belgique; one of the largest private shareholders of the Suez Group (which he does not control); former director Anglo-American
Corporation; co-founder and president Association for the Monetary Union of Europe; chairman CSR Europe (European business network); founder EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation; chairman EU-Japan Business Dialogue; co-founder and president Friends of Europe; director of the European Institute; member Council on Foreign Relations; member Trilateral Commission; supposedly a former governor of Ditchley; chairman Royal Institute for International Relations (Belgian version of RIIA); and honorary chairman of Bilderberg since 1999, after Lord Carrington resigned.

Now wait a minute. Carrington was another ultra-connected early director of Kissinger Associates (26). That means we have two heads of Bilderberg, covering the period from 1989 until today, that sat on the board of Kissinger's shadowy company. And whatta ya know? Lord Roll, Bilderberg chairman from 1985 to 1989 was another board member of Kissinger Associates since 1984 (27). You almost get the impression that Kissinger and his closest associates (Rockefeller and Rothschild) pick the leadership of Bilderberg. The short version of Carrington's bio, a president of the Pilgrims Society since 1983, reads: Director Rio Tinto (used to be a Rothschild company. Don't know today), Barclays Bank, Hollinger (Owned by Canadian Privy Councilor Conrad Black; Evelyn de Rothschild sat on the same board, as did Kissinger and many other very important globalists), a few metal companies, and Hambros Bank; Privy Councilor; Order of the Garter; insider of Brian Crozier's (Le Cercle; disinfo specialist and MI6 agent) Shield Committee that got Margaret Thatcher elected; governor Ditchley; governor Atlantic Institute for International Affairs; member RIIA; member CFR; member Trilateral Commission; and secretary-general NATO. The biography of Lord Eric Roll reads: Rockefeller fellowship; took part in the Schuman Plan discussions; worked at the OECD, the IMF, and the World Bank; co-head S.G. Warburg & Company (set up and headed by Pilgrims Society member Sir Siegmund Warburg. The firm was the London partner of Kuhn, Loeb & Co); advisor UBS; member Court of the Bank of England; governor Atlantic Institute for International Affairs; Governor Ditchley; member CFR; member Trilateral Commission (and almost certainly a member of the Pilgrims Society).


Some of today's most important globalists. Click on a name to view their biography. These bios have been compiled by PEHI and are (by far) the most complete available today. Agnelli, recruited early on by the Rockefellers (like everyone in this row except seemingly Davignon), has been followed up by John Elkann.

Now you know immediately why I created the images above and below. The biographies of these people are just way too long, because they constitute the absolute core of the globalist movement. Some created many of the post-WWII private institutions, like new ager Maurice Strong (chairman Société Générale pour l'Energie et les Ressources; 1001 Club; UN secretary-general; long time close ties to communist China; Rockefeller protege; Edmund de Rothschild - bio - protege, who is the Pilgrims Society member that dreamed up the sustainable development movement now promoted by the UN and WWF) in the environment movement, the catholic Etienne Davignon in Europe, the zionists Henry Kissinger (Fritz Kraemer and Rockefeller protege; friend of Jacob and Evelyn de Rothschild; Pilgrims Society; 1001 Club; Le Cercle; Bohemian Grove camp Mandalay; permanent Bilderberg member; Trilateral Commission; Aspen Institute; opened up China; Open Russia Foundation; founder Kissinger Associates; director CFR; Hollinger; J.P. Morgan; chair advisory board AIG) and David Rockefeller everywhere else (Pilgrims Society; 1001 Club; Le Cercle; Bohemian Grove camp Stowaway; co-founder Bilderberg and permanent member; founder Trilateral Commission; founder Americas Society; co-founder Dartmouth Conferences; co-founder US-USSR Trade and Economic Council; trustee Carnegie Endowment; his family as a whole founded many other institutes; associate of Edmund de Rothschild in the sustainable development projects; opened up China; chair CFR; chair Chase Manhattan, which is the core of the globalist movement). The ultra-zionist Rothschilds, like their masonic-episcopalian pal Prince Charles, are the architects of sustainable development movement, according to Maurice Strong (28). The family is truly enigmatic, because in many mainstream articles it is acknowledged that they still wield tremendous influence behind the scenes, yet no one seems to be bothered trying to find out what it is exactly they're involved with. One thing is for sure, most of the time when they arrange a meeting with a head of state, the press does not report it.


Other top tier globalists of today. Cisneros, a 1001 Club member and Knight of Malta, is the Latin American media baron in part responsible for the media war against Chavez. He is a very close associate of David Rockefeller, just as George Shultz and the Desmarais family in this row. The Rothschilds have a close working relationship with the Rockefellers in the environmental movement, the United Nations, and trade with the former communist world. Prince Charles already played polo with Evelyn de Rothschild in his student years and later set up the Interfaith consultations with him.

I'm not sure, but the aged Otto von Habsburg might still be an important figure today. The catholic Habsburgs, which includes Hans Adam II of Liechtenstein, still support Coudenhove-Kalergi's 'Internationale Paneuropa Union' (29). The Paneuropa Union was originally funded by Louis de Rothschild and Max Warburg while Leopold Amery and Nicholas Murray Butler were among its most devoted patrons (30). In 1948, however, the American Committee on United Europe (ACUE) was set up after Joseph Retinger (International mystery man; seemingly tied to the Vatican; later founder of Bilderberg) and Duncan Sandys (son-in-law Churchill), with some effort, convinced William Donovan (SMOM; CIA founder) and Allen Dulles (Pilgrims; CIA; SMOM) to drop their support of Kalergi's program (31). Supposedly Kalergi tried to keep his European unification movement too much in his own hands. He was certainly obsessive, because until his death in 1972 he headed the Paneuropa Union. At that moment Otto von Habsburg took over and today he still serves in that position. Habsburg is said to have been a primary founder of the secret intelligence group Le Cercle, formerly known as the Pinay Circle. In that case the leadership went to the British and the Americans also, if they didn't already have control since day one. This is also where the above listed Pilgrims Society member Paul Volcker comes in. As newly appointed chairman of the Federal Reserve System, a position Carter picked for him after having been advised by David Rockefeller and Robert Vincent Roosa (Rhodes scholar; trained Volcker and other at NY Fed; partner in Brown Brothers Harriman; Pilgrims Society; frequent Bilderberg attendee; founding member and secretary Trilateral Commission; director CFR; Atlantic Council; Atlantic Institute of International Affairs; chair Brookings Institution; vice-chair Rockefeller Foundation; governor United Nations Association) (32), he was identified by BND officer Hans Langemann as a person who attended the December 1, 1979 meeting of Le Cercle in the Madison Hotel in Washington (33). Others that attended the meeting were the German Karl-Heinz Narjes (Bundestag; soon went to the ECC), William Colby (the recently retired CIA director at that time; set up some of the Scandinavian Stay-Behind networks; Forty Committee under Kissinger), Ed Feulner (roommate of neocon warhawk and military-industrial complex insider John F. Lehman; president Heritage Foundation; trustee Mont Pelerin Society; IMF & World Bank insider; chairman Institute for European Defense and Strategic Studies in London; Bohemian Grove), Julian Amery (later chairman of Le Cercle; Privy Councilor; his father, mentioned earlier, was one of the closest Rothschild allies and helped in the building up of the Paneuropa Union and Israel), and Jean Violet (French intelligence officer; Habsburg employee; recruit of Nazi general Reinhard Gehlen; co-founder and chairman Le Cercle; Fascist militant before WWII). Whatever these people were discussing, the history books never recorded it.

Volcker has more interesting connections. After stepping down as head of the Federal Reserve he went to work for the Canadian Power Corporation, which was majority owned and headed by a good friend of his, Paul Desmarais, Sr. Besides having been described as a close personal friend of every Canadian Prime Minister since 1968, Desmarais has also been a member of the advisory councils of Carlyle, Chase Manhattan Bank (his son Andre now is a member of J.P. Morgan Chase's International Council), and Barrick Gold Corporation (set up by international arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi who's first employer was the Bin Laden family and has close ties to the British throne; Barrick also employed Bush Sr.; the later discussed Rothschild buddy Vernon Jordan; and was headed by Peter Munk, a 1001 Club member and skiing partner of Prince Charles). In 1992 he was appointed a member of the Canadian Privy Council, the same year that Maurice F. Strong, Conrad M. Black, and Charles R. Bronfman (brother of Edgar Bronfman, Sr.) were also made members. Power Corporation is one part of a large international business empire, that together with the relatively obscure Frère family, virtually co-owns the state of Belgium (GBL; Suez; SG; Tractebel). Desmarais and his son hold many directorships in these Belgian and French companies.


At the time of the Oil-for-Food scandal it turned out that Nadhmi Auchi's General Mediterranean Holdings
had a majority share in BNP Paribas (34), the bank that handled all of the Iraqi loans and has subsidiaries all over the Middle-East. Auchi is a member of Le Cercle and is up to his ears involved in illegal arms trafficking, British Intelligence, and the British throne itself. Look for his bio in the membership list of Le Cercle.

And even though Volcker did not establish any important globalist institutions, we're still not done with him. In March 1992 he became chairman of the newly created J. Rothschild Wolfensohn & Company, Wolfensohn & Co.'s London-based joint venture (35). The venture lasted until 1995 when James Wolfensohn was about to become head of the World Bank. Who was his advisor there? The earlier mentioned Maurice Strong, the United Nations bigwig that built up the conservation movement side-by-side with Edmund de Rothschild and David Rockefeller. Volcker went on to visit Bilderberg and Ditchley, became an advisor to the Japan Society, chaired the Group of 30 and the Oil-for-Food scandal investigation, and became a trustee of the American Assembly. He became a director of Hollinger (of Privy Councilor Conrad Black on which Kissinger, Carrington, and Evelyn de Rothschild also sat. Pilgrims Society member Raymond G.H. Seitz, a newer generation top-globalist, also sat on that board) and the Bankers Trust and became a member Circle of Presidents of the RAND Corporation. He already was a trustee of the Aspen Institute and a visitor of the Bohemian Grove Mandalay camp. At some moment, he became a member of the Chief Executive's Council of International Advisors of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR). The HKSAR was established after Hong Kong was given back to the Chinese in 1997, although the capitalist system of Hong Kong will remain unchanged until the year 2047. The International Advisory Council advises the HKSAR's Chief Executive on strategic issues pertinent to the long-term development of Hong Kong. Other members of the International Advisory Council of the HKSAR are a combination of CEOs of the largest corporations in Western Europe and North America. Among them are Andre Desmarais, Peter Sutherland (chair Goldman Sachs; chair BP Amoco; head GATT; founding head WTO; chair Trilateral Commission; ERT; CFR; LOTIS (outgrowth of the British Invisibles that controls the WTO); permanent Bilderberg attendee; director Centre for European Reform; director European Institute; Foundation Board DAVOS; received the Rockefeller International Leadership Award; almost certainly a Pilgrim; update: he's a Pilgrim), Maurice R. Greenberg (chair AIG which is in partnership with Kissinger Associates; vice-chairman CFR; Bilderberg; Trilateral Commission; Bohemian Grove; trustee Rockefeller University; trustee Asia Society; patron American Australian Association; almost certainly a Pilgrim), Sir John Bond (Chair HSBC; Court of the Bank

Hong Kong, October 4, 2005
  of England; Multinational Chairman's Group), and Gerald M. Levin (Once rated the fourth most powerful person in the media; CFR; Trilateral Commission; Sun Valley Meetings). Rupert Murdoch (Owns a worldwide media empire; close friend and business partner of Jacob Rothschild; CFR; Sun Valley Meetings) used to be a member of the Advisory Commission back in 2000. Seems not a whole lot changed in Hong Kong after it was given back to China.
