Trilateral Commission
The Trilateral Commission is a private organization, founded in 1973 at the initiative of David Rockefeller, of over 300 private citizens from Europe, Japan, and North America to promote closer cooperation between these three areas.
The organization has come under much scrutiny and criticism by political activists and academics working in the social and political sciences. The Trilateral Commission has found its way into a number of conspiracy theories, especially relating to the Round table groups.
