The Trilateral Commission was founded in 1973 through David Rockefeller’s sponsorship and Zbigniew Brzezinski’s strategic vision to connect policy elites from the major industrial democracies of the United States, Canada, Western Europe, and Japan. It was not a fictional secret society. It published reports, held meetings, and built an invitation-only network of bankers, politicians, corporate leaders, diplomats, academics, media figures, and policy specialists.

That public reality is exactly why it became so controversial. Critics saw a private forum discussing trade, finance, energy, security, democracy, and global governance while its members moved through banks, corporations, universities, foundations, media institutions, and governments. The Carter administration brought the issue into sharper focus when Jimmy Carter, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and other Commission-associated figures held major positions in American power.

This episode follows the Commission from Rockefeller’s early push for a private international policy body, through the 1975 report The Crisis of Democracy, into the New World Order theories that later attached themselves to it. The question is whether its influence is ordinary elite networking, agenda-setting, or something closer to quiet coordination beyond democratic view.
