Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos
The Commission is the enemy of conservative dogmatism and its power is based on the international banking system, financial markets and the power of cartels of multinational companies. It consists of three subgroups. Of its members, 170 are Europeans, 120 are from North Africa and more than 100 are from Asia and the Pacific region.
Who are the recently high-profile personalities involved in the Commission? A quick glance is enough to explain the complex situation, in which Greece, the euro area and the global economy have ended up.
The famous Italian economist and European Commissioner, Mario Monti, is the head of the European department of the Commission and a member of its executive body. He has received the mandate to form the new Italian government.
The new Prime Minister of Greece, Lucas Papademos, is a member of the Trilateral Commission and he is not the only Greek representative in it. He is a banker and professor at Harvard University, former Vice-President of the European Central Bank, former Governor of the Bank of Greece. He graduated from Athens College and collaborated with former Greek Prime Ministers Andreas Papandreou and Costas Simitis.
The Former Cypriot President George Vassiliou participates in the executive body of the Commission despite his communist past. He is a businessman, a former principal interlocutor of the European Union on Cyprus’ membership and the main interlocutor for resolving the Cyprus problem.
Other members of the Trilateral Commission are:
Businessman and former chairman of the Federation of Greek Industries, Odysseus Kyriakopoulos, who has also graduated from the Athens College.
Famous Greek journalist and managing editor of Kathimerini newspaper, also a graduate of the prestigious school in Athens, Alexis Papahelas.
Former head of the Hellenic Telecommunications Organization OTE, former senior member of the board of Alpha Bank and former member of Rothschild Consortium, Panagiotis Vourloumis - member of the executive body of the Commission.
In 1980, the far-right member of the Congress Lawrence MacDonald decided to reveal the activities of the Trilateral Commission. He wrote a report and submitted it to the presidium of the Congress. Interestingly, the man who is considered a "banner of anticommunism" has exposed the Rockefeller family and denounced the plan for global ruling.
Strangely enough, the famous and persecuted representative of the American left, Noam Chomsky, stated the same. With his sharp tongue and vocal progressive position, the professor of comparative linguistics condemned the Commission's objectives.
