LEARN WHO IS OBAMA'S BOSS

Submitted by: Royce Latham

Who is Obama's boss? And why it matters.    By Jon Rappoport   Here is another question that has the same answer: who is in charge of destroying economies?   Who keeps pushing new economy-destroying trade treaties, like the upcoming TPP? Who is in the business of killing jobs and hope?    Who demands that these treaties must be ratified?    Who is breathing down Obama's neck, as he stages a last-ditch effort to ratify the TPP and further bury US sovereignty under the weight of global corporations?   Who demands that more US jobs disappear overseas and never come back?    One group has been virtually forgotten. Its influence is enormous. It has existed since 1973.   It's called the Trilateral Commission (TC).   Keep in mind that the original stated goal of the TC was to create "a new international economic order."   In the run-up to his inauguration after the 2008 presidential election, Obama was tutored by the co-founder of the Trilateral Commission, Zbigniew Brzezinski.    Four years before birthing the TC with his boss of bosses, David Rockefeller, Brzezinski wrote: "[The] nation state as a fundamental unit of man's organized life has ceased to be the principal creative force. International banks and multinational corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in advance of the political concepts of the nation state."   Goodbye, separate nations.    Any doubt on the question of TC goals is answered by David Rockefeller himself, the founder of the TC, in his Memoirs (2003): "Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure-one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."   Patrick Wood, author of Trilaterals Over Washington, points out there are only 87 members of the Trilateral Commission who live in America. Obama appointed eleven of them to posts in his administration.   For example: Tim Geithner, Treasury Secretary; James Jones, National Security Advisor; Paul Volker, Chairman, Economic Recovery Committee; Dennis Blair, Director of National Intelligence.   Here is the payoff. The US Trade Representative (appointed by Obama in 2013), who is responsible for negotiating the TPP with 11 other nations, is Michael Froman, a former member of the Trilateral Commission. Don't let the word "former" fool you. TC members resign when they take positions in the Executive Branch of government. And when they serve in vital positions, such as US Trade Representative, they aren't there by accident. They're TC operatives with a specific agenda.    I'm now going to print a stunning piece of forgotten history, a 1978 conversation between a US reporter and two members of the Trilateral Commission. (Source: Trilateralism: The Trilateral Commission and Elite Planning for World Management; ed. by Holly Sklar, 1980, South End Press, Pages 192-3).   The conversation was public knowledge at the time.   Anyone who was anyone in Washington politics, in media, in think-tanks, had access to it. Understood its meaning.   But no one shouted from the rooftops. No one used the conversation to force a scandal. No one protested loudly.    The conversation revealed that the entire basis of the US Constitution had been torpedoed, that the people who were running US national policy (which includes trade treaties) were agents of an elite shadow group. No question about it.   And yet: official silence. Media silence. The Dept. of Justice made no moves, Congress undertook no serious inquiries, and the President, Jimmy Carter, issued no statements. Carter was himself an agent of the Trilateral Commission in the White House. He had been plucked from obscurity by David Rockefeller, and through elite TC press connections, vaulted into the spotlight as a pre-eminent choice for the Presidency.    The 1978 conversation featured reporter, Jeremiah Novak, and two Trilateral Commission members, Karl Kaiser and Richard Cooper. The interview took up the issue of who exactly, during President Carter's administration, was formulating US economic and political policy.   The careless and off-hand attitude of Trilateralists Kaiser and Cooper is astonishing. It's as if they're saying, "What we're revealing is already out in the open, it's too late to do anything about it, why are you so worked up, we've already won..."   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]?   COOPER: Yes, they have met three times.   NOVAK: Yet, in your recent paper you state that this committee should remain informal because to formalize 'this function might well prove offensive to some of the Trilateral and other countries which do not take part.' Who are you afraid of?   KAISER: Many countries in Europe would resent the dominant role that West Germany plays at these [Trilateral] meetings.   COOPER: Many people still live in a world of separate nations, and they would resent such coordination [of policy].   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]?   COOPER: Well, I guess it's the press' job to publicize it.   NOVAK: Yes, but why doesn't 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.   COOPER: President Carter and Secretary of State Vance have constantly alluded to this in their speeches. [a lie]   KAISER: It just hasn't become an issue.   This interview slipped under the mainstream media radar, which is to say, it was buried.    US economic and political policy run by a committee of the Trilateral Commission---the Commission had been created in 1973 by David Rockefeller and his sidekick, Zbigniew Brzezinski.   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, "We've lost. And I'll quit." Lost---because 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.   Vance and Brzezinski were appointed secretary of state and national security adviser, as Jordan feared. But he didn't quit. He became Carter's chief of staff.   Now consider the vast propaganda efforts of the past 40 years, on so many levels, to install the idea that all nations and peoples of the world are a single Collective.   From a very high level of political and economic power, this propaganda op has had the objective of grooming the population for a planet that is one coagulated mass, run and managed by one force. A central engine of that force is the Trilateral Commission.   How does a shadowy group like the TC accomplish its goal? One basic strategy is: destabilize nations; ruin their economies; ratify trade treaties that effectively send millions and millions of manufacturing jobs off to places where virtual slave labor does the work; adding insult to injury, export the cheap products of those slave-factories back to the nations who lost the jobs and undercut their domestic manufacturers, forcing them to close their doors and fire still more employees.    And then solve that economic chaos by bringing order.    What kind of order?    Eventually, one planet, with national borders erased, under one management system, with a planned global economy, "to restore stability," "for the good of all, for lasting harmony."   The top Trilateral players, in 2008, had their man in the White House, another formerly obscure individual like Jimmy Carter: Barack Obama. They had new trade treaties on the planning table. Obama was tasked with doing whatever was necessary to bring those treaties, like the TPP, home. To get them passed. To get them ratified. No excuses.   That's why, over a year ago, when anti-TPP criticism and rhetoric were reaching a crescendo, when Obama was seeking Congressional fast-track authority for the treaty, he was in a sweat and a panic. He and his cabinet were on the phones night and day, scrambling and scraping for votes in Congress. This was the Big One. This was why he was the President. To make this happen.   His Trilateral bosses were watching.   These men run US policy, when and where it counts. They don't like failure.   This is also why, after Obama was inaugurated for his first term, he shocked and astonished his own advisors, who expected him, as the first order of business, to address the unemployment issue in America. He shocked them by ignoring the number-one concern of Americans, and instead decided to opt for his disastrous national health insurance policy---Obamacare.   Obama never had any intention of trying to dig America out of the crash of 2008. That wasn't why he was put in the Oval Office. He could, and would, pretend to bring back the economy, with fudged numbers and distorted standards. But really and truly, create good-paying jobs for many, many Americans? Not on the TC agenda. Not in the cards.    It was counter-productive to the TC plan: torpedo the economy further.   Obama is on the move. He's traveling to far-flung places, trying to shore up global consensus on the TPP treaty. His people are working around the clock to round up the necessary votes for TPP ratification in Congress. Obama plans to sneak through the treaty during Congress' lame-duck session after the November election, before newly elected Congressional members take office.   Pushing through Globalist trade treaties: this is why he was put in the White House.   This is his appointed task.   This is his real job.   His bosses are watching.   "I pledge allegiance to the Trilateral Commission, and to the domination for which it stands, one planet, indivisible, with tyranny and poverty and top-down order for all..."
