quotation
Zbigniew Bzrezinski co-founded the Trilateral Commission (TC) in 1973 with David Rockefeller... The stated purpose of TC was to form a triad of global influence consisting of North America, Western Europe and Japan.

The TC published The Crisis of Democracy in 1975. One of its authors, Harvard professor Samuel P. Huntington, is a prominent writer for the CFR publication Foreign Affairs. Huntington, intellectual darling of the global elite, argued that America needed "a greater degree of moderation in democracy".

The TC paper suggested that leaders with "expertise, seniority, experience and "special talents" were needed to "override the claims of democracy". More recently Huntington has been pushing his "Clash of Civilizations" thesis, which argues that war between the West and Islamic nations is inevitable.
