Trilateral Commission
Trilateral Commission is a think tank founded by banker David Rockefeller. George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter were both members prior to their presidential campaigns. It was unpopular with many, conservatives such as Ronald Reagan and Jesse Helms.
According to its website the Trilateral Commission was formed in 1973 by private citizens of Japan, European Union countries, United States and Canada to foster closer cooperation among these core industrialized areas of the world with shared leadership responsibilities in the wider international system.[1]

The Trilateral Commission has had a massive influence on both Republican and Democrat administrations – consistent with how the deep state remains in power regardless of who is elected to lead. While Republican Ronald Reagan criticized Democrat Jimmy Carter for having Trilateralists dominate his administration, Reagan chose several Trilateral Commission members for his own presidential administration after being elected.[2] These Reagan Administration Trilateralists included George H. W. Bush, who succeeded Reagan as president.[2] Not even the Trump Administration was free from the Trilateral Commission – after serving in the White House, the Trump Administration appointed Trilateralist Kenneth Juster as the U.S. Ambassador to India.[3]
