II: Columbia University and Recruitment by Zbigniew Brzezinski 57The message is clear: sooner or later, all roads lead to Behemoth. (Tarpley, Project Democracy,
[Washington: EIR, 1987])
Trilateral fascination with a totalitarian transformation in this country did not start after Carter,
but began well before he came on the scene. A good example is Brzezinski’s own book, Between
Two Ages: America’s Role in the Technetronic Era (1970), where the Polish revanchist conjured up
the glittering image of a “technetronic era,” whereby a more controlled society would gradually
emerge, dominated by an oligarchical elite unrestrained by traditional values.
Brzezinski predicted that “Power will gravitate into the hands of those who control information”
(Brzezinski 1), adding that surveillance and data mining will foster “tendencies through the next
several decades toward a technocratic era, a dictatorship leaving even less room for political
procedures as we know them” (Brzezinski 12). Information Technology would become the key to
mass social control: “Unhindered by the restraints of traditional liberal values, this elite would not
hesitate to achieve its political ends by the latest modern techniques for influencing public behavior
and keeping society under close surveillance and control.” (Brzezinski 252) These are remarks
which ought to remind fatuous left liberals, who have been deluded by Zbig’s re-invention of
himself in an anti-Bush and anti-Iraq war mode, that they are dealing here with one very sinister
totalitarian elitist.
HYPOTHESIS: A QUARTER CENTURY OF TRILATERAL INDOCTRINATION
The inevitable corollary of the Brzezinski-Huntington analysis as developed in the post-Carter
era is the need to prepare political operatives to intervene in the creedal passion period or general
political upsurge which was expected to emerge around 2010. This would suggest that Brzezinski,
Huntington, and other Trilateral operatives were keeping their eyes open for suitable political talent
which they could identify, recruit, and begin grooming for use a quarter-century in the future. To
those for whom such a protracted process might seem to be fantastic and conspiratorial, let it be
pointed out that the career timescale involved hardly differs from the typical career of a military
officer, a bank executive, or a top-flight academic. To those who are accustomed to living from one
paycheck to the next, a 25-year perspective may seem like extraordinary foresight. To those
accustomed to viewing the world from the apex of huge organizations, it looks like something
rather routine and prosaic.
The hypothesis advocated here is therefore that Obama has been a protected and controlled asset
of the Trilateral Commission since his time at Columbia University between 1981 and 1983. Since
the moment of his recruitment, Obama’s career has been promoted, fostered, preferred, and
otherwise protected by the Trilateral financier network.
DEVAL PATRICK: BRZEZINSKI’S SPARE OBAMA
The interchangeability of Obama and Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick is important
because the two of them remind us of the procedures used by the Trilateral managers the last time
they installed a puppet president – Jimmy Carter. As Zbigniew Brzezinski tells us with startling
brutality in his memoir entitled Power and Principle, the Trilaterals did not put all their eggs in one
basket when it came to grooming a puppet for the 1976 election. Their favored choice was that
messianic peanut farmer from Plains, Georgia who in fact won the presidency. But they always
retained a fallback option as well. As Brzezinski relates, this was another southern Democratic
Governor, Reubin Askew of Florida. If Carter had overdosed, suffered a nervous breakdown, or
