The Trilateral Commission, one wing of the world shadow government composed of 
political, cultural, academic, industrial and media leaders from all over the 
world, met in Washington recently to hammer out an agenda to further erode
national sovereignty and place national governments under the authority of the 
United Nations.

EXCLUSIVE TO THE SPOTLIGHT By James P. Tucker Jr.
The Trilateral Commission (TC) is pressuring the United States to take two 
giant steps toward the goal of a world government:
    - Agree to the formation of a three-tier world army under the authority of 
the United Nations, which would include a permanent standing force. This new 
UN military force would, in place of its traditional role of "peacekeeping," 
intervene in the affairs of sovereign nations.
    - And empower the UN to determine immigration policies of sovereign 
states, under which it could order the Province ofthe United States to accept 
anyone, regardless of the wishes of Congress or the president.

LONGTIME MEMBERS
These demands were issued at a three-day closed-door meeting in Washington of 
the TC at the Park Hyatt Hotel. Informed of these decisions in personal 
briefings, were President Bill Clinton, Secretary of State Warren Christopher 
and Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen. All are longtime members of the TC. 
Clinton and Bentsen are also part of the other wing of the global government, 
the Bilderberg group, which meets later this month in Europe. The 
Trilateralists met with Christopher on the evening of March 28 and had 
breakfast with Bentsen the following morning.

DESTRUCTION OF AMERICAN JOBS
They also told the president and high administration and congressional leaders 
the North American Free Trade Agreement must be ratified and not to try to 
limit the destruction of American jobs which would be lost to low-wage 
Mexicans through "side agreements" that could derail the entire package. That 
job losses in this country were inevitable was a consequence they frankly 
acknowledged, contrary to the avalanche of misleading press reports and
economists, predictions which have polluted public discourse for the past 
year. It was also emphasized the trade treaty must be the first step toward 
the formation of a Western Hemisphere Community, similar to the European 
Community, with complete political and economic unity. Others who received 
these orders from the world shadow government include Sens. John Chafee 
(R-R.I.), William Cohen (R-Me.), John Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), William Roth 
(R-Del.), House Speaker Thomas Foley (D-Wash.) and Reps. Dan Glickman (D-Kan.) 
and Amory Houghton (R-N.Y.). Several journalists and other Establishment media 
figures attended the closed sessions on condition they would report only what 
is approved: Katharine Graham, chairman of the Washington Post Co., Post 
editorial writer John Anderson, Post reporters Jim Hoagland and Hobart Rowen; 
Flora Lewis of the New York Times; George Melloan, deputy editor of the Wall 
Street Journal, and David Gergen, publisher of U.S. News and World Report, 
were also there. Foreign journalists attending under the same conditions 
include Sergio Romano of La Stampa in Milan, Italy; Jorgen Schleimann of 
Denmark's Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten; Theo Sommer, editor of Die Zeit in 
Hamburg, Germany; Ian Davidson, Financial Times of London; Jacqueline Grapin 
of Le Figaro in France; Fredrico Rampini, deputy editor of Il Sole24 Ore in 
Milan, and Akira Kojima, senior editor, the NihonKeizai Shimbun, a Japanese 
financial newspaper. All Establishment journalists promise to disclose nothing 
of what transpires behind the closed and guarded doors and report only what is 
approved by the Trilateralists. Their mission is to sell the TC agenda to the 
public subtly, mostly by covering up their activities.

WHO SPOKE
The Trilateralists began their annual meeting hearing from Leon Panetta, 
director of the Office of Management and Budget; Mickey Kantor, U.S. trade 
representative; and John Deutch, who has been nominated for under secretary of
defense. Later, Foley presided over a panel on Congress. John Roper, director 
of the Western European Union in Paris and a former member of the British 
Parliament, gave a lengthy report that both celebrated the growth of UN forces
into a world army and called for a still stronger global role. There are more 
than 3,000 U.S. troops in Somalia "where the overall UN force commander will 
be Turkish Gen. Cevik Bir with an American deputy," Roper said. American 
forces are also serving in Mozambique "under a UN commander," he said. "It is 
of interest that in 1993 U.S. forces are coming under the command of a UN 
force commander who is not an American and who is answerable to the [UN] 
Security Council," Roper said. This act of putting American soldiers under 
foreign command responsible to the UN is an unprecedented surrender of
sovereignty. It is thus important to the goal of creating a world government, 
which can impose its will with a global army. This move was high on the 
Bilderberg agenda at Evian, France last year (SPOTLIGHT, June 8, 1992).

PERMANENT UN FORCE
"The United Nations should have at its permanent disposal a highly trained, 
standing-ready force of some four or five battalions - each with some 600-700 
troops - drawn from one or two nations and trained to operate as a single 
unit," Roper said. "At a second level, the United Nations should have rapid
deployment forces from the armed forces of member states which could be 
deployed at a very few days' notice," he said. Small nations could join 
together to prepare brigade-sized forces while larger countries should each 
commit 5,000 men to the UN, he said, for a total backup force of 50,000. A 
third level is necessary for major operations, such as the Persian Gulf War, 
where a coalition of larger forces would be established, Roper said. The 
charter of the UN, as demonstrated in the Persian Gulf War, he said, makes 
NATO an arm of the UN. He also cited collaboration with UN efforts in the 
former Yugoslavia as evidence that NATO accepts its role as a UN force. The 
UN army should have a permanent planning staff and headquarters, he said. Enid 
C.B. Schoettle, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations - a 
propaganda tool of the world shadow government - called for immediately 
increasing UN assessments and then providing "independent resources. "He 
suggested "international taxes on international air travel, shipping, global 
traffic flows and the like."

ENTER SOVEREIGN NATIONS, UNINVITED
Olara Otunnu, a native of Uganda and now president of the International Peace 
Academy in New York, said the UN army will soon be able to enter sovereign 
nations, uninvited, to impose its will. "There is a major evolution in 
thinking at the level of international public opinion that can no longer 
accept that massive and dramatic suffering should be shielded behind the walls 
of sovereignty," he said. "In effect, the notion of what constitute the 
'domestic affairs' of a state is undergoing some change," he said. He cited 
the uninvited intervention in Somalia as the precedent for future 
interventions, in which no faction of warring parties invites the UN in to 
settle disputes and restore order. Another bulky "discussion draft" report 
called for an "international migration regime" under the UN to determine who 
should be allowed to enter what country. "An international migration regime 
would include new legal instruments and the operational capacity to respond to 
the full range of international migration situations," the report said. "A 
critical feature of such arrangements is that national decision authorities 
yield to international standards and scrutiny in their decision making," the 
report said. The United States was soundly criticized for refusing too many 
immigrants, not giving them enough financial support when they are admitted, 
and for a lack of "multicultural programs." America has a "non-policy" on 
immigration, the authors of the report complained. None of the American 
leaders attending these sessions was heard to object to these dramatic 
proposals to surrender national sovereignty in a number of crucial areas. In 
fact, during one of many SPOTLIGHT penetrations of the meeting, Trilateral 
Chairman Paul Volcker, former head ofthe Federal Reserve Board, told 
colleagues on a crowded elevator: "We stay on substance, where we all agree."
