If you're not OUTRAGED...
you're not paying ATTENTION !!

The following is a statement by David Rockefeller (founder of the
Trilateral Commission), in an address to a meeting of The Trilateral
Commission, in June, 1991:

"We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time
Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended
our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost
forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our
plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of
publicity during those years. But, the world is now much more
sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The
supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers
is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in
past centuries."
