THE TRILATERAL COMMISSION
 
 
 
 
In 1982, the far-right Posse Comitatus organizations like The Legion of Justice, The Posse, and the Christian Patriots Defense League, had in common one enemy, the Trilateral Commission, which represented everything they despised.
 
The Trilateral Commission, founded in 1973 by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski, consists of businessmen, politicians, scientists and other leaders from Japan, United States and Western Europe; described as "the leading citizens of their continents."
 
Other enemies of the far-right include, The Council on Foreign Relations and the Bilderberg group; all founded by David Rockefeller.
 
Johnson & Johnson's board of directors, in 1982, was absolutely stacked with members of the Trilateral Commision, The Council on Foreign Relations, and other groups affiliated with David Rockefeller.
 
J&J CEO James Burke and Illinois Governor James Thompson were both members of the Trilateral Commission.
 
 

 

The Trilateral Commission initially consisted of 180 commissioners; 60 from United States, 60 from Japan, and 60 from Europe. Thirty-four commisioners made up the executive committee in 1973. By 1982, membership had grown to about 240.

 

The first meeting of the Trilatral Commision was held in Tokyo, on Wednesday, October 23, 1973. Former U.S. arms control negotiator Gerard C. Smith, chairman of the North American delegation, said the United States might find in the trilateral relationship a means of retreating from its dominant role in the world since World War II. Smith and others expressed a lack of confidence in the "universal" approach of the United Nations as a problem-solving device but saw hope 'for gains through the proposed three-sided dialogue of major economic powers.'"

 

Max Kohnstamm of The Netherlands, chairman of the Western European delegation, declared that unless there is some common purpose between the three corners of the proposed trilateral alliance, no progress can be made toward solutions of many major problems facing the world. Kohnstamm welcomed the new commission as a step toward "a fruitful trialogue.

 

One of the chief stated initiatives in creating the Trilateral Commission was to bring Japan into the mainstream of international

cooperation. At the 1974 Trilateral Commission meeting in Brussels, the Commission put out a series of papers spelling out what they percieved as the grave problems raised by oil prices and inflation and proposing remedies that may be taken immediately to forestall a worldwide recession.

 

The Trilateral Commission papers covered a wide variety of subjects. According to the Commissions' paper on "the directions for world trade in the 1970s":

"A major reduction in industrial tariffs is needed, both to bring down obstacles to world trade and also to moderate the discriminatory effect of the emerging Western European free-trade area. Pending United States trade legislation would provide the basis to achieve deep reciprocal cuts in outstanding levels of tariffs."

 

According to the Commissions' energy study paper:

"The pervasive influence of the energy crisis on the entire fabric of national and international economic life will inevitably have political consequences and will require hard political decisions. Hence the importance, for the governments and peoples of the Trilateral countries, of seeing the magnitude and scope of the problem. When they see it, we believe they will find no viable alternative to a common approach."

 

The study stresses the need for the Trilateral countries in cooperation with the ofl producers with their vastly increased revenue to come to the aid of the developing nations. The oil deficit for the latter this year wfll be $10 billion.

 

The Trilateral Commission papers can be recognized today for what they actually are; the blueprint for what is now referred to as the New World Order.

 

 

The Trilateral Commissions' New World Order:

"We have to seek cooperation with the communist states, pointing eventually to a political and ultimately even philosophical accommodation with them." - Z. Brzezinski, in a speech al the 1973 Kyoto meeting of the Trilateral Commission

 

"It makes much more sense to attempt to associate existing states through a variety of indirect ties and already developing limitations on national sovereignty." - Z. Brzczinski

 

"In short, the 'house of world order' will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down . . . an end run around national sovereignly, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal assault." - Richard Gardner, Trilateral member, in Foreign Affairs Magazine, April 1974.

 

In 1976, Trilateralist Jimmy Carer was elected President and brought with him into the key executive department 18 other members of the Trilateral Commission.

Critics of the Trilateral Commission

 

Edwin Meese 3rd, the Reagan campaign's chief of staff, said, "All of these people come out of an international  economic-industrial organization with a pattern of thinking on world affairs."

 

Meese say's — and the left would agree — that the Trilateral believe "trade and business should transcend, perhaps, the national defense."

 

 

John Birch Society

 

Richard W. Fatherly, in a January 1981 speech, claimed the news media managed information dealt to the American Public to foster ideas of Internationalism at the expense of traditional American ideals. The powerful few in these groupshave considerable Influence in thepolicies of the national media. They also take considerable pains to cover theirtracks." Fatherly said during a ratherlengthy speech.

 

Fatherly warned of the pervasive nature of the electronic media and its subtle power in shaping individual thought He charged that much of the news is managed by individuals with a liberal bias who regularly supress certain facts and emphasize others.

 

"There are countless examples of Marxist music designed to alter behavior." said Fatherly. He urxed his audience to counsel their children regarding the content of electronic media.

 

The ultimate goal of at least one large foundation (Trilateral Commission) is to use grants to alter American thought to the extent that a merger with the Soviet Union will be possible without opposition, Fatherly said.

 

John McManus said in 1980, "forget the presidency." He explains, "The conspiracy that we first perceived has control of the major political parties, and even if a good man would become president, he'd be so surrounded by them that be wouldn't be able to do what he wanted to." McManus maintains that Carter is a "second-echelon member" of the grand conspiracy and that Reagan is a "lackey."

 
 
Ememies of the Trilateral Commission
 
As a result of the sever ecomomic downturn in the early 1980s, which hit farmers the hardest, and the aggressive recruiting tactics of Posse Comitatus and Christian Patriot movement leaders, far-right paramilitary groups were larger and more powerful that at any other time in history. Right-Wing Extremists who followed Posse Comitatus ideology had advocated violence against their enemies in the years leading up to the Tylenol murders. Attempted and actual attacks by these groups increased dramaitically in 1982, before peaking in 1983, when the the FBI and DEA led a series of raids against Posse Comitatus groups across the country.
 
At the top of the list of Posse Comitatus enemies was the Trilateral Commission, which "Patriots" within Right-wing extremist groups believed had taken over the worldwide banking system. These "Patriots" believed the Trilateral Commision was controlled by Jews, who they considered to be children of satan. Right-wing extremists believed that the agenda of the Trilateral commission and various affilaited organizations, like the Council on Foreign Relations and the Bilderberg Group, was to control the United States as part of their quest for a New World Order.
 
Leaders of the Right-wing extremist groups vowed that members of these "New World Order" groups, and anybody who did not actively oppose these groups were traitors. Posse Comitatus leaders and their brothers and sisters from the Christian Patriots Defense League, "The Covenant, the Sword, and the Arm of the Lord," Arian Nations, the Christian Identity movement, The Order, and the Ku Kluk Klan had declared war against the Jews and their allies.
 
The Right-wing extremist groups in 1982 said that the penalty for those who did not join them will be death. These Patriots made the same vow against the "traitors" who refused to join them as did their brothers from the Legion of Justice who stated in 1970:
"Treason Must be Punished."
 
 

 
 
 
 
The "Punishment" they would demand, would be death.
 
 
Christian Patriot William Potter Gale preached in one infamous sermon broadcast to Kansas farmers in 1982.

"Arise and fight!"  "If a Jew comes near you, run a sword through him."

 
Louis Ray Beam, founding member of "The Order", and one of the most unflinching and forceful spokesmen of the far right, speaking at the Aryan Nations' annual Aryan World Congress in 1983, told an audience of more than 500 that the preservation of the white race required the willingness to act violently. Beam said this to the crowd of Jew and Trilateral Commission enemies:
 
"I didn't come here for your applause. I came here for your blood… The old period is over and a new period is going to begin….I'm here to tell you that if we can't have this country, as far as I'm concerned, no one gets it. The guns are cocked, the bullets are in the chamber….We're going to fight and live or we're going to die soon. If you don't help me kill the bastards, you're going to be required to beg for your child's life, and the answer will be 'No.'"
 
 
Had the far-right Paramilitary groups with their headquarters and training grounds surrounding Chicago, put together a hit-list of their enemies, many of their "Jew-loving" enemies would have been found in the boardroom of Johnson & Johnson, and the city of Chicago.

Vernon Jordan: (born August 15, 1935) is an African-American lawyer and business executive in the United States. He served as a close adviser to President Bill Clinton and has become known as an influential figure in American politics. On May 29, 1980, he was shot and seriously wounded outside the Marriott Inn in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Joseph Paul Franklin was acquitted in 1982 of charges of attempted murder, but Franklin in 1996 admitted to having committed the shooting. Franklin was a drifter, roaming up and down the East Coast, always looking for chances to "cleanse the world" of people he considered inferior, especially blacks and Jews. As early as high school he had become very interested first in Evangelical Christianity, then Nazism and later held memberships in both the American Nazi Party and the Ku Klux Klan.
 
Franklin has been linked by either indictment or confession to 20 murders, 6 aggravated assaults, 16 bank robberies and two bombings. He has confessed to eight murders, and has received several life sentences or death sentences for others.
 
Despite being partially blind in his left eye and completely blind in his right eye, Franklin was a proficient marksman, and killed most of his victims from over 100 feet (30 m) away. He did not touch or try to contact the majority of victims, instead assassinating them from a distance; thereby falling into the category of a mission oriented serial killer. He was a highly organized killer, who would plan in advance several escape routes and techniques in which to leave no evidence.

Select Other Trilateral Commission Members and Status at time of the Tylenol Murders
 
Dwayne Orville Andreas: One of the most prominent political campaign donors in the United States, having contributed millions of dollars to Democratic and Republican candidates alike. For thirty years, he was in the leadership of Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), the largest processor of farm commodities in the United States, where he made his fortune. He grew up mostly in Iowa (with siblings Albert, Lenore, Glen, Osborne and Lowell) and attended Wheaton College in Illinois, but dropped out in his sophomore year.
Watergate Scandal: ...Several individual donations (totaling $89,000) were made by individuals who thought they were making private donations to the President's (Nixon's) re-election committee. The donations were made in the form of cashier's, certified, and personal checks, and all were made payable only to the Committee to Re-Elect the President. Investigative examination of the bank records of a Miami company run by Watergate burglar Bernard Barker revealed that an account controlled by him personally had deposited, and had transferred to it (through the Federal Reserve Check Clearing System) the funds from these financial instruments.
 
A $25,000.00 cashier's check made out to the committee that Barker actually deposited into his account was drawn upon the account of, and authorized by, a Kenneth H. Dahlberg of Minnesota. Mr. Dahlberg had received this amount from a prominent Minnesota Democratic fund raiser named Dwayne Andreas, who was an executive of the Archer Daniels Midland Corporation. Mr. Andreas gave Dahlberg the funds specifically to make a contribution anonymously, but not unaccountably, to the Nixon reelection campaign.

Involvement in BCCI scandal  BCCI came under the radar of regulatory bodies and intelligence agencies in the 1980s due to its perceived avoidance of falling under one regulatory banking authority. A fact that was later proven to be true. BCCI became the focus of a massive regulatory battle in 1991 and was described as a "$20-billion-plus heist".
 

By 1980, BCCI was reported to have assets of over $4 billion with over 150 branches in 46 countries. By 1989, ICIC's shareholding was reduced to 11% with Abu Dhabi groups holding almost 40%, however large numbers of shares were held by BCCI nominees. It was very common for Middle Eastern elites to use nominees to hold their stock, as they did not want the public to know the details of their holdings.

 

In 1982, 15 Middle Eastern investors bought Financial General Bankshares, a large bank holding company headquartered in Washington, D.C. All the investors were BCCI clients, but the Fed received assurances that BCCI would be in no way involved in the management of the company, which was renamed First American Bankshares. To alleviate regulators' concerns, Clark Clifford, an adviser to five presidents, was named First American's chairman. Clifford headed a board composed of himself and several other distinguished American citizens, including former United States Senator Stuart Symington. In truth, BCCI had been involved in the purchase of FGB/First American from the beginning. To buy the bank, BCCI used the First American investors as nominees. Moreover, Clifford's law firm was retained as general counsel, and also handled most of BCCI's American legal work. BCCI was also heavily involved in First American personnel matters. The relationship between the two was so close that rumors spread BCCI was the real owner of First American.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
PRO-TRILATERALIST CHARITY ORGANIZATIONS
 
 
MacArthur Foundation: The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation is a major grant-making private foundation based in Chicago that has awarded more than US$4 billion since its inception in 1978. It is now one of the ten largest private philanthropies in the U.S.
John D. MacArthur grandson, and Rod MacArthur’s son, John R. “Rick” MacArthur has charged publicly:

 

“The idea behind the foundation was as a tax dodge that he thought would allow his business executives to run his company forever. He clearly didn't understand the tax laws."[2]

 

Largely due to Rod MacArthur’s efforts, the board was expanded to thirteen members in 1979. The new members had backgrounds from academia, science, government, and business. This board now openly and publicly fought over the grants that were made to favorite board member causes, often trading votes among themselves. Even though there was support for each board member’s causes an extremely bitter and public argument erupted between Rod MacArthur and former U.S. Treasury Secretary William E. Simon over board grants to a number of conservative causes Simon supported. Eventually Simon resigned from the board

Its four major program areas are Global Security and Sustainability, Human and Community Development, General grant-making, and the MacArthur Fellows Program, also known as "genius grants." Topics of interest to the Foundation include international peace and security, conservation and sustainable development, population control, reproductive health, human rights, community development, affordable housing, and educational, juvenile justice, and mental health reform, public interest media, including public radio and independent documentary film. The Foundation also gives grants to arts and cultural institutions in the Chicago area.
 
History
 

William T. Kirby, John MacArthur's attorney, along with Paul Doolen, MacArthur's CFO, suggested that the MacArthurs create a foundation to be endowed by their vast fortune. The legal document that created the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation was two pages long and written by Kirby in plain language.

 

The Foundation's founder, John D. MacArthur (1897-1978), owned Bankers Life and Casualty and other businesses, as well as considerable property in Florida and New York.

 

In 1954 for $5.5 million MacArthur bought 2,600 acres (11 km2) of land in northern Palm Beach County that had been owned originally by Harry Seymor Kelsey and later by Sir Harry Oakes. The land included most of today's Lake Park, North Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens and Palm Beach Shores. For many years, MacArthur conducted his business affairs from a table in the Colonnades Beach Hotel, Singer Island, Florida, where he and his wife lived in theirpenthouse apartment overlooking both the Atlantic ocean and Intracoastal Waterway.

 

His wife Catherine T. MacArthur (1909-1981) held positions in many of these companies and served as a director of the Foundation. When John D. MacArthur died on January 6, 1978, he was worth in excess of $1 billion and was reportedly one of the three richest men in the United States. MacArthur left ninety-two percent of his estate to begin the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. The composition of the Foundation’s first Board of Directors, per John D. MacArthur’s will, also included Catherine T. MacArthur, J. Roderick MacArthur (a son from John D. MacArthur’s first marriage), two other officers of Bankers Life and Casualty, and Radio Commentator Paul Harvey.

J. Roderick MacArthur, known as Rod MacArthur, attended Rollins College in Florida and worked as a stringer for the Associated Press in Mexico. During World War II he joined the American Field Service, serving with the French Army in the ambulance corp., and he participated in the campaign that liberated France.

 

He worked for his father in the insurance industry before they became estranged. In 1973 while working with a company that sold ceramic collectable plates, MacArthur noticed that the collectible ceramic market was chaotic. He started the Bradford Exchange which by the time of his death sold about 90% of all the collectable plates in the world. Often credited with becoming “a self-made millionaire”, in actuality MacArthur had some financial backing from his father, although the idea, business plan and effort were indeed Rod MacArthur’s own. In 1975, once the exchange was successful, his eccentric father claimed that Bradford Exchange was his business and John D. MacArthur seized the Bradford Exchange’s customer lists and put the on hand inventory under lock and key. J. Roderick MacArthur then organized a “private posse” that broke into his father’s corporate headquarters in Chicago and hustled the inventory into a waiting fleet of trucks. MacArthur inherited virtually no money from his father.

 

Doolen was the first president of the foundation, serving from 1978 to 1980. Dr. John Corbally was the second president of the foundation, who served from 1980 until 1989. Adele Simmons was the third president of the foundation, serving from 1989 to 1999. As of 2007, the Foundation's President is Jonathan F. Fanton, formerly President of the New School for Social Research.

Trilateralist Opponents and Status at Time of the Tylenol Murders
 
 
Richard Viguerie: Former executive secretary of the conservative youth group Young Americans for Freedom, which was a source for recruitment into the Right-wing terrorist group, the Legion of Justice.
Member of the Council for National Policy
 
Viguerie has been dubbed the "funding father" of modern conservative strategy in the United States. Viguerie wrote the book, The New Right:We're Ready to Lead
 
In 1977, Viguerie worked on a project to raise money for Sun Myung Moon's Children's Relief Fund.
 
Viguerie founded Conservative Digest magazine in 1975 and served as its publisher for ten years. Opposing President Gerald Ford's election, Viguerie in 1976 unsuccessfully sought the presidential nomination of the American Independent Party, which had been formed eight years earlier by George Wallace.
 
 
 
 
Howard Phillips:  During the Nixon Administration, Phillips headed two Federal agencies, ending his Executive Branch career as Director of the U.S. Office of Economic Opportunity in the Executive Office of the President, a position from which he resigned when President Richard Nixon reneged on his commitment to veto further funding for "Great Society" programs.
Member of the Council for National Policy
 

Since 1974, Phillips has been Chairman of The Conservative Caucus, a nonpartisan, nationwide grass-roots public policy advocacy group which has been in the thick of battles, in opposition to the Panama Canal handover and the Jimmy Carter-Leonid Brezhnev SALT II treaties in the 1970s, in support of Strategic Defense Initiative and major tax reductions during the 1980s, and in the vanguard of efforts to terminate Federal subsidies to ideological activist groups under the banner of "defunding the Left."

 

Other Conservative Caucus campaigns have involved opposition to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the World Trade Organization, support for a national version of California's Proposition 187 (to end mandated subsidies for illegal aliens), as well as continuing efforts to oppose publicly-funded health care, abortion, and gay rights. Phillips is the host of Conservative Roundtable, a weekly public affairs television program.

 

During the 1970s and 1980s, Phillips coordinated efforts to build private sector support for anti-Communist "freedom fighters" in Central America and Southern Africa. He played an instrumental role in the leadership of the New Right, as well as in the founding of the religious right in 1977. Phillips has led fact-finding missions to Eastern Europe, the Baltic States, South America, Central America, Western Europe, and the Far East.

William Webster was Director of the FBI at the time of the 1982 and 1986 Tylenol murders and
 
 
 
William Kennedy Shearer: (01/21/31 - 03/03/07) of California was the chairman of the Constitution Party from 1996 to 1999, and founded the American Independent Party in 1967 with his wife Eileen to support George C. Wallace’s presidential campaign.
 
 
Sun Myung Moon: (born January 6, 1920) is the Korean founder and leader of the world-wide Unification Church. He is also the founder of many other organizations and projects involved in political, cultural, artistic, mass-media, educational, public service, and other activities. In 1971 Moon moved to the United States, which he had first visited in 1965.
 
In 1974 Moon supported President Richard Nixon during the Watergate scandal. Church members prayed and fasted in support of Nixon for three days in front of the United States Capitol, under the motto: "Forgive, Love and Unite." On February 1, 1974 Nixon publicly thanked them for their support and officially received Moon. This brought Moon and the Unification Church into widespread public and media attention in the United States.
 
In 1976, Moon told church members that one day he would organize "a great rally for God in the Soviet Capital." In 1980 Moon founded the anti-communist organization CAUSA International.
 
In 1977 and 1978, a subcommittee of the United States Congress led by Congressman Donald M. Fraser conducted an investigation of South Korea – United States relations and produced a report that included 81 pages about Moon and what the subcommittee termed "the Moon Organization." Congressman Robert Boettcher reported in his book Gifts of Deceit: Sun Myung Moon, Tongsun Park, and the Korean Scandal (Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1980) what he described as breathtaking financial corruption. No criminal indictments came out of these congressional investigations.
 

In 1982 Moon was convicted by the U.S. government for filing false federal income tax returns and conspiracy. His conviction was upheld on appeal. He was given a prison sentence and spent 18 months in the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, CT. Based on this case, reporter Carlton Sherwood wrote the book Inquisition: The Persecution and Prosecution of the Reverend Sun Myung Moon.

Les Aspin: Representive of U.S. Congress, Wisconsin's 1st District. Before and during his tenure in the House, he had opposed the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. In his early years in Congress, he often issued press releases critical of shortcomings he detected in the armed forces. By 1985, when he became chairman of the Armed Services Committee, he was recognized as a leading defense authority.
 
 
Kenneth W. Dam: Deputy Secretary of State.  Dam earned his J.D. degree from the University of Chicago law school in 1957. He then served as a law clerk to United States Supreme Court justice Charles Whittaker in 1957 and 1958. He became an associate at the law firm of Cravath, Swaine & Moore until he joined the University of Chicago as a law professor in 1960, becoming provost in 1980.

Individuals not yet classified as Trilateralist or Far-Right Extremists
 
John Robert Bolton II: Known as Donald Rumsfeld's man in the State Department, milky-mustachioed John Bolton served as an assistant attorney general during the Reagan administration and assistant secretary of state under George H.W. Bush. Later, he wound up working as a staff lawyer for the GOP. During the 2000 Presidential election quagmire in Florida, Bush campaign strategist James Baker dispatched Bolton to Palm Beach to halt the recount, which he did.
 

Unusual for a diplomat, Bolton is perfectly comfortable playing the Bad Cop role. In May 2002, he accused Fidel Castro of having a clandestine biowarfare program, even though his claim was immediately contradicted by American intelligence agencies. In July 2003, he called Kim Jong Il a "tyrannical rogue state leader" (which is true, of course).

 

In 2005, Bolton was named as America's Ambassador to the United Nations. He has always been harshly critical of the U.N., and once said, "If the UN Secretary Building in New York lost 10 stories, it wouldn't make a bit of difference." As Undersecretary for Arms Control, Bolton personally signed the official letter telling the U.N. that the U.S. would have nothing to do with any International Criminal Court, and in a 1994 speech he said, "There's no such thing as the United Nations."

Notes re Trilateral commission
 
 

In January, 1981 President Reagan signed an Executive Order abolishing price controls on domestic crude oil, calling it "a positive first step towards a balanced energy program ...one 'designed to promote prudent conservation and vigorous domestic production."

 

April 1981 -  President Reagan won a major victory last week when the Senate gave overwhelming approval to his proposal to eleminate an April 1 increase in dairy price supports. The vote was 35 to 5, but Administration forces led by Agriculture Committee Chairman Jesse Helms (R-N.C.) first had to defeat a series of crippling amendments authored by thepowerful milk lobby.

 

 

April 1981 -  Columnist Lou Cannon of the Washington Post says that President Reagan has invited three leaders of the Trilateral Commission - David Rockefeller of the United States, George Berthoin of Europe, and Takeshi Watanabe of Japan - to visit the White House when the Tnlateralists convene in Washington.  Vice President George Bush is a former member of the Commission as is Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, who resigned after the election. Cannon says that Weinberger and Secretary of State Alexander Haig will address the Tnlateralists at the meeting which was held last week during the time the president was shot.

Alan Berg
 

Using a six-step plan for revolution based on The Turner Diaries, The Order began committing bank robberies throughout the Northwest in 1983. During the following year, the group's crimes included counterfeiting, assault and murder, most notably the June 18, 1984 assassination of Alan Berg. (Berg was a Denver radio talk show host who mocked right-wing extremists and, in particular, ridiculed Order front man David Lane, calling him "sick" and "pathetic" during an on-air exchange. Scutari was indicted for the murder, but not convicted.) A month later, on July 19, 1984, Scutari and 11 confederates robbed a Brink's armored truck in Ukiah, California, of $3.6 million. - also see Richard Scutari

Interestingly, Alan Berg was a Chicago native member of the Illinois State Bar Association

 
 
Vernon Jordan: (born August 15, 1935) is an African-American lawyer and business executive in the United States. He served as a close adviser to President Bill Clinton and has become known as an influential figure in American politics. - America-Israel Friendship League U.S. National Advisory Board
 
On May 29, 1980, Jordon was shot and seriously wounded outside the Marriott Inn in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Joseph Paul Franklin was acquitted in 1982 of charges of attempted murder, but Franklin in 1996 admitted to having committed the shooting. Franklin was a drifter, roaming up and down the East Coast, always looking for chances to "cleanse the world" of people he considered inferior, especially blacks and Jews. As early as high school he had become very interested first in Evangelical Christianity, then Nazism and later held memberships in both the American Nazi Party and the Ku Klux Klan.
 
Franklin has been linked by either indictment or confession to 20 murders, 6 aggravated assaults, 16 bank robberies and two bombings. He has confessed to eight murders, and has received several life sentences or death sentences for others.
 
Despite being partially blind in his left eye and completely blind in his right eye, Franklin was a proficient marksman, and killed most of his victims from over 100 feet (30 m) away. He did not touch or try to contact the majority of victims, instead assassinating them from a distance; thereby falling into the category of a mission oriented serial killer. He was a highly organized killer, who would plan in advance several escape routes and techniques in which to leave no evidence

Group of 7 Asks Money-Laundering Curbs

By STEPHEN LABATON, Special to The New York Times   Published: Friday, April 20, 1990

Representatives of the Group of Seven industrial countries proposed a broad set of regulatory and banking reforms today to combat the growing problem of concealing illegal narcotics profits in banks and other financial institutions.

 

A study panel set up by the group was joined by eight other nations, including Switzerland, Austria and Luxembourg, which are known for bank secrecy. The participation of these three nations was taken as a sign that they would support important modifications of their laws and banking practices, although Bush Administration officials said they did not know if any changes would be imminent.

 

The proposal calls for the elimination of anonymous bank accounts and accounts held in fictitious names. It also asks for greater international coordination among law enforcement and regulatory authorities.

 

''It is the single most comprehensive, significant and forceful international declaration on money laundering to date,'' said John E. Robson, Deputy Treasury Secretary, who headed the American delegation. ''It is a clear recognition of the global nature of the problem and acknowledges the need for rapid and tough actions.''

 

The group also proposed an easing of bank secrecy laws to permit bankers to report suspicious deposits to authorities and called on prosecutors to develop cases against corporations - not just their employees - which engage in money laundering. The committee said bankers should be forbidden to tell customers when they are under investigation.

 

The report is to be on the agenda at the meeting in Houston in July of the leaders of the Group of Seven - Britain, Canada, France, Italy, Japan, the United States and West Germany. Several of the eight other nations that participated in the study have long been identified as havens for illegal profits. In addition to Switzerland, Austria and Luxembourg, the group includes Australia, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
Flying Friendlier Skies (Hoover Digest 1999 No. 2)
In an earlier life, Hoover fellow John E. Robson helped to deregulate the American airline industry. The industry has flourished ever since. Yet the industry’s very success has prompted calls for reregulation, to Robson’s considerable chagrin. How deregulation worked—and why reregulation wouldn’t
 
June 12, 2001
John E. Robson was sworn in Tuesday as chairman and president of the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) by Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist at a ceremony at Ex-Im Bank headquarters. Robson was nominated to head Ex-Im Bank by President George W. Bush and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. The swearing in ceremony was attended by Bush Administration officials including Vice President Dick Cheney, Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman, and Secretary of Veterans Affairs Anthony Principi.
 

"Ex-Im Bank’s basic mission is to spur job-creating exports by American businesses through providing credit in riskier foreign markets where commercial lenders won’t venture," Robson said at the swearing in ceremony. The challenge, he added, is "helping exporters in an increasingly complex global marketplace, where economic and political risks change overnight, where advanced technology allows trillions of dollars to course daily through the veins of the international financial system, where trade protectionism and sometimes corruption lurk, and where new financial products are invented every day."

 

Robson brings to Ex-Im Bank broad leadership experience in the public and private sectors. Before joining Ex-Im Bank, he was an investment banker with the San Francisco, California based firm of Robertson Stephens, where he was a senior advisor. His government experience includes Presidential appointments as deputy secretary of the U.S. Treasury, chairman of the Civil Aeronautics Board where he initiated airline deregulation, and under secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation.

 

In the private sector, Robson was president and chief executive officer of G.D. Searle & Co., a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical and consumer products company. He also was dean and professor of management at the Goizueta Business School at Emory University and practiced corporate law as a partner in the firm of Sidley and Austin.

 

Ex-Im Bank is an independent U.S. government agency that helps finance the sale of U.S. exports primarily to emerging markets throughout the world, by providing loans, guarantees, and insurance. Ex-Im Bank supported $15.5 billion in U.S. exports in fiscal year 2000.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 

The Trilateral Commission

 

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilateral_Commission

 

Established

 

Speaking at the Chase Manhattan International Financial Forums in London, Brussels, Montreal, and Paris, Rockefeller proposed the creation of an International Commission of Peace and Prosperity in early 1972 (which would later become the Trilateral Commission). At the 1972 Bilderberg meeting, the idea was widely accepted, but elsewhere, it got a cool reception. According to Rockefeller, the organization could "be of help to government by providing measured judgment."

 

Zbigniew Brzezinski,[2] a professor at Columbia University and a Rockefeller advisor who was a specialist on international affairs, left his post to organize the group along with:

 

    * Henry Owen (a Foreign Policy Studies Director with the Brookings Institution)

    * George S. Franklin

    * Robert Bowie (of the Foreign Policy Association and Director of the Harvard Center for International Affairs)

    * Gerard Smith (Salt I negotiator, Rockefeller in-law, and its first North American Chairman)

    * Marshall Hornblower

    * William Scranton (former Governor of Pennsylvania)

    * Edwin Reischauer (a professor at Harvard)

    * Max Kohnstamm (European Policy Centre)

 

Other founding members included Alan Greenspan and Paul Volcker, both eventually heads of the Federal Reserve system.

 

Funding for the group came from David Rockefeller, the Charles F. Kettering Foundation, and the Ford Foundation.

In July 1972, Rockefeller called his first meeting, which was held at Rockefeller's Pocantico compound in New York's Hudson Valley. It was attended by about 250 individuals who were carefully selected and screened by Rockefeller and represented the very elite of finance and industry.

 

Its first executive committee meeting was held in Tokyo in October 1973. The Trilateral Commission, considered to be an off-shoot of the Bilderberg group, was officially initiated, holding biannual meetings. Because of a heavy cross-membership, some researchers have said that they appear to be an inner circle of the Council on Foreign Relations, with ties to the Atlantic Institute for International Affairs (established in 1961), and the Bilderberg Group.
