User:Albericht/Trilateral commission prefix:Talk:Main Page

The article on the Trilateral Commission seems mainly to be based on what has appeared in mass media, Trilateral sources, etc. There is no in-depth or other genuine reporting.

For example, it ignores that the TC's original membership included largely people who were trading with the West's Cold War enemy, the Soviet Union. ( Such as: David Rockefeller of Chase Manhattan Bank and Exxon Oil, Zornow of Eastman Kodak, Packard of Hewlett-Packard, TRW (Now Blackstone--Peterson), Watson of IBM, and Andreas of Archer Daniels Midland).

The significance is twofold: 1) Article III of the US Constitution defines treason as giving aid and comfort to an enemy.

2) The Soviets did not make many finished products of export quality. The only way that they could buy Western products and services was to obtain "hard" currencies like dollars.  So they had to sell raw materials like gold.  As Nobel laureate Solzhenitsyn pointed out, they produced these commodities by using slave labor under inhuman conditions such as inSiberia.  The prisoners were innocent people such as Solzhenitsyn sent to labor camps on the whim of dictators like Stalin.
