"David Rockefeller is best known in certain circles for his role in the formation of the Trilateral Commission in 1973. The "three sides," from which the organization draws its name, are the world's three primary centers of political and economic power — the United States, Europe and Japan. The Trilateral Commission extends membership only to highly influential people from those three regions.
While officially presented as a group of 350 people seeking to promote international understanding and globalization, to others the Trilateral Commission represents a "new cabal" that wishes to promote the economic interests of some of its wealthiest members. It is credited with huge influence that works in largely secretive ways, and has been the subject of conspiracy theories involving global banking operations."
