FINAL WARNING: Ready to Spring the Trap
government. When Carter broke off diplomatic relations with the
government of Taiwan, Sen. Goldwater said at a news conference: “I
have no idea what motivated him other than the Trilateral Commission,
composed of bankers in this country and others, want to expand big
business ... He did it for the big banks of the world– Chase Manhattan
and the French bankers and for companies like Coca-Cola.” In May,
1989, George Bush would bestow favored-nation trade status to China.
4) In Africa, the Carter Administration was soft on the spread of
Marxism.
5) Carter pledged his support for communist-dominated Hungary, and
gave its dictator, Janos Kadar, the priceless Crown of St. Stephen (the
founder and patron saint of Hungary) which the U.S. had in its
possession since 1945.
In a 1978 meeting with 200 Trilateralists at the White House, Carter said
that if the Commission had been in existence after World War I, they
would have prevented World War II. However, we know that they were
in existence after World War I, and precipitated World War II. In his
book Why Not the Best, Carter said: “Membership on this Commission
has provided me with a splendid learning opportunity, and many other
members have helped me in my study of foreign affairs.” Carter’s
membership in the organization was the only foreign policy experience

Europe and Japan. Congressman John Anderson, himself a member,
said that Carter became a member just to improve his image. Carter’s
indoctrination made him a willing pawn in furthering the goals of the
Trilateral Commission. In a personal letter to the Commission, who
was meeting in Tokyo, Japan, in January, 1977, he wrote: “We share
economic, political, and security concerns that make it logical we
should seek ever increasing cooperation and understanding. And this
cooperation is essential not only for our three regions, but in the
global search for a more just and equitable world order.”
The Commission, which operates in literal secrecy, made news in the
fall of 1979, when David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, and John J.
McCloy (former President of the Ford Foundation, former President of
the World Bank, Chairman of the Chase Manhattan Bank, former High
Commissioner to Germany, and on the Advisory Board of Foreign
Affairs magazine) pressured Carter into allowing the deposed Shah of
Iran (who had financial dealings with the Chase Manhattan) into the
