The people with the endless bios
An introduction to the world we live in - Appendix B
Below you can find a list of about 30 of the more important privately-funded globalist institutions which have been established either by Pilgrims Society members, by people connected to the Rockefeller-Kissinger-Rothschild triumvirate, or a combination of these interests. The list will be updated in the future, mainly with less crucial institutes.
Round Table Groups |
1891-1920 |
According to Carroll Quigley (1), Cecil Rhodes established a secret society in 1891, which consisted of a Circle of Initiates and an Association of Helpers. The purpose of this group was to spread the Anglo-Saxon system of banking, trade, and politics all over the world. Rhodes, and the people backing him, claimed that this was their obligation to all the lower classes and non-English masses throughout the world. Rhodes is most famous for launching De Beers Mining Company, but what is less well known is that the Rothschilds provided him with the necessary money to do so. Quigley already mentioned it, but the Rothschilds have admitted to it also (2). According to Quigley, the CFR, the RIIA, and the later Institute of Pacific Relations were part of the outer Round Table Groups, while members of the Circle of Initiates were meeting at another location in London. |

Pilgrims Society |
1902-1903 |
As usual, the exact details of its founding aren't known, but we can reach the simple conclusion that the noble and royal families in England and America's East-Coast were the ones responsible for it. The best article on the founding of the Pilgrims that I have seen came from the New York Times of July 18, 1918: "The idea originated with an American. The name "Pilgrim" was suggested by Mr. Burke Roche, M.P. The plan of organization was submitted in June, 1902, to Lord Roberts through General Joseph Wheeler..." Lord Roberts of Kandahar, a Knight of the Garter, approved the plan, but suggested that "Chamberlain" (three were active at the moment) should be consulted. This was never done, but eventually meetings were arranged which were presided over by individuals as Sir Harry Brittain, Lindsay Russell, and Lord Grenville. Roberts would initially preside over the first meeting, but had an important appointment with Field Marshal Horatio Kitchener, a Knight of the Garter, Privy Councilor, Pilgrims Society member, and a Freemasonry District Grand Master of Egypt and Sudan. Kitchener succeeded Lord Roberts as Commander-in-Chief during the Boer War and stood under heavy influence of Cecil Rhodes and Lord Milner, both heads of the Round Table.
James Boothby Burke Roche, the person who came up with the term 'Pilgrims', was a financier who peddled between the United States and England. He was an associate of the Vanderbilts and Astors (did not see any Morgans). Burke Roche had enormous marital problems during the last 15 years of the 19th century, refusing to divorce from his wife who did not give him access to his children. Roche, who inherited the title of 3rd Baron Fermoy in 1920 (just 2 months before he died), was the great grandfather of the late Princess Diana, the former wife of Prince Charles.
Lord Beresford, a person who attended and spoke at the first Pilgrims meetings, is also named as a founder in some articles. He was an aide-de-camp to the Prince of Wales from 1875 to 1876 and a personal friend of King Edward VII. His brother, Admiral Sir John Beresford, was a Privy Councilor, a friend to the Duke of Kent, and a father of the future Queen Victoria. The Beresford and La Poer families had been influential in England for at least a century at the time the Pilgrims Society was established.

Carnegie Foundations |
1910 |
Besides Pilgrims Society member Andrew Carnegie himself, at least three other men were closely involved in creating the Carnegie Foundations. Daniel Coit Gilman, who once incorporated Skull & Bones into the Russell Trust, helped Carnegie to establish the Carnegie Institution of Washington in 1902. Nicholas Murray Butler, a totalitarian-oriented Pilgrims Society member who donated 10 million dollars to persuade Andrew Carnegie to establish the Carnegie Foundation, is the second one. Elihu Root, a political heavyweight of the time, a descendant of the Luce and Spencer families, and another Pilgrims Society member, is the third one. Root helped Carnegie to establish the Carnegie Corporation of New York in 1911, which became the grant making part of the Carnegie network. Root was the first president of the Carnegie Foundation from 1910 to 1925 and became a founder of Carnegie Europe. He was also the main founder of the CFR in the 1918-1921 period.
A huge amount of Pilgrims have been trustees of the Carnegie Foundations. The Carnegie Corporation makes large grants to all the major universities in the United States and southern Africa. |

Jekyll Island & Federal Reserve |
1910-1913 |
The creation of the Federal Reserve has largely been credited to the secret 1910 Jekyll Island meeting. This meeting was organized by Senator Aldrich who's daughter had married John D. Rockefeller, Jr. 9 years earlier. All the participants (one unconfirmed) were members of the Pilgrims Society and represented J.P. Morgan, George F. Baker (Chase National Bank; friend of Morgan), or Warburg-Schiff (Rothschild) banking institutes. Henry P. Davison, one of the participants and a close associate of both J.P. Morgan and George F. Baker, came from a family that intermarried with the Aldrich, Peabody, Rockefeller, and Stillman families. Eustace Mullins was the first to expose this Jekyll Island meeting. |
|
|
|
Rockefeller Foundation |
1913 |
Incorporated by John D. Rockefeller, Sr. A large amount of Pilgrims have been trustees of the different Rockefeller Foundations. |
|
|
|
CFR |
1918-1921 |
The official history of the CFR reads: "Elihu Root (second from left) headed the original Council on Foreign Relations and was instrumental in the founding of its successor... He is shown here (left to right) with Council President and former U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain John W. Davis... at the 1930 opening of the Council’s 65th Street headquarters... But it was a more discreet club of New York financiers and international lawyers organized in June 1918 that most attracted the attention of the Americans from the Peace Conference. Headed by Elihu Root, the secretary of state under Theodore Roosevelt and a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, this select group called itself the Council on Foreign Relations." Elihu Root and John W. Davis were Pilgrims Society members. Root was president of the Carnegie Foundation at the time, an organization he had helped to establish. The Root family has intermarried with the Luce, Pomeroy, and Spencer families. John W. Davis, the founding president of the CFR, was a Rockefeller Foundation trustee and as chairman of the law firm Davis, Polk, & Wardwell he was also servicing clients like J.P. Morgan and U.S. Steel (once owned by Carnegie, but taken over by J.P. Morgan). Davis supposedly also supported the Crusaders, which was one of the Fascist front groups trying to overthrow FDR and his New Deal in 1934. Davis was the uncle of Cyrus Vance and raised him to a large degree. Vance, a Pilgrims Society member, would become the ultra-connected Rockefeller frontman who worked closely with Henry Kissinger, especially in opening up China. Paul M. Warburg, co-founder of the Fed and Partner of the Rothschild agent Jacob Schiff, was a founding director of the CFR. This person was a member of the Pilgrims Society also. |

Paneuropa Union |
1923 |
After Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi published his book 'Paneuropa' in 1923, he was approached by Louis Rothschild and Max Warburg. With the money they provided the Paneuropa Union was set up. Leopold S. Amery, a person who helped the Rothschilds in building up the State of Israel (see article on Le Cercle), was providing assistance to this newly created organization. Paul and Felix Warburg gave Coudenhove-Kalergi a tour through the United States and lobbied for support on that side of the ocean. According to Kalergi, Nicholas Murray Butler was one of his most dedicated aides in New York city (3). Butler was president of Columbia University, the one that inspired Andrew Carnegie to set up the Carnegie Endowment, president of the Carnegie Endowment, US president of the Pilgrims Society, a highly influential school system reformer, and a supporter of Georg Hegel and Emmanuel Kant.
The Internationale Paneuropa-Union remained active and Kalergi headed it until his death in 1972. Then Otto von Habsburg, a supposed founder of Le Cercle, took over as president and still serves in this position today.

United Nations Association |
1944 |
According to the official history, the UNA (USA) was founded in 1943 under the name American Association for the United Nations (AAUN) and was merely an outgrowth of the League of Nations Non-partisan Association (LNA). George W. Wickersham was one of the two official founders of the LNA. Wickersham was a director of the CFR from 1921 to 1933 and a president from 1933 to 1936. He was also a member of the Pilgrims Society and a Law Partner of William Howard Taft. Taft was another member of The Pilgrims and the son of a co-founder of Skull & Bones. The UNA-USA has been (and still is) dominated by Rockefeller associates and Pilgrims Society members. |

|
|
Tavistock Institute |
1946 |
According to the official website: "The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, a novel, interdisciplinary, action orientated research organisation, was founded in London in 1946 with the aid of a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. It was set up for the specific purpose of actively relating the psychological and social sciences to the needs and concerns of society..." Although no where to be seen in their official bio or anywhere else from a mainstream source, some have claimed the institute was founded in 1921 by the Marquess of Tavistock/Duke of Bedford line (Russell family). Since this is a long time Order of the Garter family it would tie into the same network as the Rockefellers. |
|
|
|
United Nations |
1946 |
The New York Times on November 26, 1975, 'Rocky's Rocky Road': "At the founding of the United Nations in San Francisco, Nelson Rockefeller was in the forefront of the struggle to establish not only an American system of political and economic security but a new world order." At this April-June 1945 Conference the representatives of 50 countries drew up the United Nations Charter on International Organization.
The United Nations headquarters has been built on land donated by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. The team of international architects hired to built the UN headquarters was headed by Wallace K. Harrison, a principal architect of Rockefeller Center, which was also the location the team was working from (4). |

|
|
Atlantik-Brücke |
1952 |
Its official history reads: "Since its inception in 1952 by Eric M. Warburg, Atlantik-Brücke has become the key transatlantic institution in Germany. It has developed many important programs, which encompass a broad spectrum of political, economic, and social topics, involving top-level decision-makers from politics and business, high ranking military officers, well-known academics, teachers, high school students, and journalists from both sides of the Atlantic. Our membership consists of more than 500 members." Eric M. Warburg (1900-1990), a New York banker, was the son of Max Warburg who had stayed in Nazi Germany until 1938. Max's brothers were Partners of Jacob Schiff in Kuhn Loeb & Co. and instrumental in setting up the Federal Reserve. (Another) Max Warburg is today's treasurer of Atlantik-Brücke. Walther Kiep, its long time chairman, was the former treasurer of Kohl's CDU. Kiep has been identified as a corrupt politician, deeply involved in the illegal arms sales of the Thyssens and the German intelligence agencies. His bio can be read here. Coincidentally, George H.W. Bush has written a welcome for the site of Atlantik-Brücke. |

|
American Council on Germany |
1952 |
The official history reads: "The ACG was incorporated in 1952 in New York to encourage reconciliation and understanding following the two disastrous wars in the first half of the 20th century. Among its early leaders were John J. and Ellen McCloy, General Lucius D. Clay, Christopher Emmet, Joseph Kaskell, Dr. George N. Shuster, and Eric M. Warburg. Because of their vision of transatlantic cooperation, the Council has served as a key bridge between Germany and the United States for over 50 years." At another part of their website, 'Warburg Chapters,' it reads: "Based on a grant from a business partner of the late Eric M. Warburg, one of the founders of the ACG, Chapters of the Council were established outside of New York." And yet another section, 'Fellowships for Other Mid-Level Professionals,' reads: "The John J. McCloy Fund of the American Council on Germany was established in 1975 as a tribute to John J. McCloy, soldier, statesman, lawyer, banker, and the first civilian U.S. High Commissioner for Germany. Mr. McCloy worked continually to strengthen friendship and cooperation between Germans and Americans."
So, Eric M. Warburg and John J. McCloy were two of the primary founders of the American Council on Germany. Warburg's bio can be seen above. McCloy, a Pilgrims Society member, oversaw Germany's return to statehood and released Hitler's industrial backers as Fritz Thyssen, Hjalmar Schacht, Friedrich Flick, and Alfred Krupp. McCloy became a chairman of the Rockefeller's Chase National Bank and a chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, among other things. Henry Kissinger, Brent Scowcroft, Dean Rusk, Dick Cheney, Richard Holbrooke, Dean Acheson, George Ball, Bill Bradley, Zbigniew Brzezinski, McGeorge Bundy, and Paul Volcker have sat on the board of the American Council on Germany and/or have participated in its meetings. |

Bilderberg |
1954 |
Joseph Retinger, a Vatican-loving Polish mystery man with high level connections all over Europe and the United States, seems to have been the primary founder of Bilderberg. He was the person that recruited Prince Bernhard as a "figurehead" (the term used by Retinger's secretary). David Rockefeller was approached on the other side of the ocean. David's answer: "I thought it sounded like a very good idea. It seemed to me that there were problems and misunderstandings between the United States and Europe. And I'm a great believer in conversation as a way to get at the problem, at the roots of difficulties" (5). David seems to have been the only member of Bilderberg that has attended every single meeting since 1954.

As chef-de-cabinet of Henri Spaak's government, Baron Robert Rothschild worked for two years with Spaak to establish the Treaty of Rome. At the final signing, Paul Henri Spaak whispered to Rothschild: "I think that we have re-established the Roman Empire without a single shot being fired" (6). Etienne Davignon would be Rothschild's follow-up as chef de Cabinet under Spaak in 1964, and would become one of the most influential builders of the (private) European unification movement. |

Pugwash Conferences |
1957 |
The prime organizer of the original event was Lord Bertrand Russell. He was a member of the Cambridge Aspostles, just as Lord Victor Rothschild, the 3rd Baron Rothschild and father of today's Lord Jacob Rothschild. Aldous Huxley (wrote 'Brave New World'), John Maynard Keynes (famous economist; close friend of CFR chair and J.P. Morgan chairman Russell C. Leffingwell), and the 'Cambridge spies' (gay; MI5; MI6; 'KGB' spies; close associates of Lord Victor Rothschild) were other members of the Aspostles. The first Pugwash meeting was held at the home of Cyrus Eaton, Sr. in Pugwash, Nova Scotia (7). Eaton began his career working for John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Cyrus Eaton, Jr. would later team up with the Rockefellers to start an investment project in the Soviet Union during the height of the Vietnam war (8). The Rothschilds announced that they would team up with the same Rockefeller company two years later (9). |

1001 Nature Trust / Club |
1971-1974 |
Somewhere buried in the WWF archives: "An economist and a lawyer, Charles de Haes was born in Antwerp in 1938. He first became involved in WWF in the early 1970s when asked by International Trustee Anton Rupert to help create “The 1001: A Nature Trust”. Through this, HRH Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands – WWF founder President – and one thousand other influential individuals agreed to each contribute US$10,000 to WWF. This was designed with a view to achieving financial independence for the secretariat... " Anton Rupert first conferred with Prince Philip, head of WWF UK. Look for more information in the PEHI article on the 1001 Club. The Rothschild Foundation and individual Rothschild family members, through the Club 21 and the Peace Parks Club, are heavy sponsors of the WWF affiliated Peace Parks Foundation, headed by Anton Rupert. The same, but to a lesser extent, is and was true for David and Laurance Rockefeller. |

US-USSR Trade and Economic Council |
1972 |
The initial proposal to erect this council was made by an unknown person at the Dartmouth Conference of 1972, which was co-founded and attended by David Rockefeller. George Shultz subsequently did most of the work to bring this organization about. Through his mother's side, the Pratts, Shultz's family has a long history of working with (or for) the Rockefellers. Charles Pratt (1830-1891) merged his company with Standard Oil and became a Partner of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Charles Millard Pratt (1858-1933) was a treasurer of Standard Oil, while his former mansion, the Charless Pratt House, has been the headquarters of the Council on Foreign Relations since 1945. Shultz himself, a Bechtel director who is (or has been) a Pilgrims Society member, is today's chairman of J.P. Morgan Chase's International Advisory Council. According to his digital Who's Who, David Rockefeller has been chairman of the Overseas Development Council of the US-USSR Trade and Economic Council, Inc. According to the Rockefeller Archive Center, David has been a director of the US-USSR Trade and Economic Council, Inc. (11) |

National Council for US-China Trade |
1973 |
According to the official history of the US-China Business Council: "The United States-China Business Council, Inc. is a private, non-profit, non-partisan, member-supported organization. It is the principal organization of US corporations engaged in business relations with the People's Republic of China. Founded in [May] 1973 as the National Council for US-China Trade, the Council originally served the early efforts of US business in China in the absence of formal diplomatic relations between the two nations." This council was founded after Kissinger, a Pilgrims Society member and Rockefeller protege, started his negotiations with China. David Rockefeller is known to have visited China at least in June 1973 where he spoke with Zhou Enlai and other leaders. March 2, 2005, China Institute Of International Studies: "When meeting David Rockefeller in June 1973, Zhou said to him that it was necessary to find appropriate methods conducive to the development of the trade between two sides under different political systems." Gary Allen has posted a picture of one of the early meetings between Zhou and David in his 1976 book 'The Rockefeller Files.' |

1st World Wilderness Conference (still going on) |
1977 |
1989, George Hunt, 'The New World Bank, Religion, & Rulers': September 1987, Fourth World Wilderness Conference, Maurice Strong introduces Edmund de Rothschild: "One of the most important initiatives that is open here for your consideration is that of the Conservation Banking Program. As mentioned this morning, we have [inaudible] here the person who really is the source of this very significant concept. He was/is one of the trustees of the International Wilderness Foundation which sponsored this meeting. He was at the first of these conferences. His conversion to the relationship between conservation and economic development has been a pioneering one... Many of the energy developments that we have seen have come from his early anticipation of our energy needs... And I'm just delighted to have this opportunity of introducing to you, Edmund de Rothschild." David Rockefeller and James Baker were present at that same 1987 meeting. Baker, Rockefeller, and Edmund de Rothschild have all three been members of the Pilgrims Society. George Hunt, a college level Business Management teacher, a business consultant, and the owner of a small environment company, was warned by the Rockefeller group not to rebuke any of the claims made by Edmund de Rothschild or any other speaker at that conference. Tickets of this low-profile 1987 event were $650 each. |

Canada-China Business Council |
1978 |
The Standing Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, February 7, 1997, the words of Senator Jack Austin, President of Canada-China Business Council: "The Canada-China Business Council was organized in 1978, at the very beginning of the Deng Xiaoping economic reform period. It was organized by a group of leaders, Paul Desmarais [Sr.], Maurice Strong, Paul Lin, and one or two others, to begin the development of a commercial relationship with China." For some reason, Maurice Strong was recruited by the United Nations headquarters in New York at age 17-18 where he supposedly met with the Rockefellers and other influential people. After 2 months, Strong went out on his own again and returned as a trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation in 1972, at about the same time he became UN secretary-general. He would remain a close associate of different members of the Rockefeller family throughout his life, not to mention Edmund de Rothschild. The Desmarais family, owners of the Power Corporation with its large interests in Belgium, France and China, are long time board members of Morgan Chase, while Andre Desmarais is today's honorary chairman of the Canada-China Business Council. Andre is also a member of the Chief Executive's Council of International Advisors of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and a director of China's CITIC. |

Since 1999, he is a senior partner and managing director of Lazard Partners and since 2003 he is vice-chairman of Rothschild Europe, while also serving as chairman of the Rothschild pension funds. Etienne Davignon is the one who initially challenged Gyllenhammar to establish an organization like the ERT. Davignon has set up and chaired many of the private organizations involved with the European unification movement. He is a good friend of Henry Kissinger and a former chairman of Société Générale de Belgique. Umberto Agnelli, younger brother of Rockefeller-Rothschild-Kissinger associate Gianni Agnelli, was among the small initial group of ERT members. |

Comprehensive assessments were made of the terrain, slope, soil types, drainage and erosion patterns; botanical studies and wildlife patterns - corridors, birthing areas, human interface issues; forest health and wildfire concerns, and so forth. This culminated in a master conservation easement being laid on almost all of the Manitou Mountain Tract to the east of the Chalets." |

The Peace Palace, mentioned in the quote above, was built in 1913 by Andrew Carnegie and is the location of the Carnegie Foundation in The Netherlands. It is headed by the Bilderberger, Hans van den Broek, an appointment he received after his daughter became the wife of Prince Maurits of Orange-Nassau. |

Friends of Europe |
1999 |
June 4, 1999, The Guardian, 'EU sets limited goals for reform': "Viscount Davignon, now head of Belgium's vast conglomerate Societe Generale, has put together the Friends of Europe group to propose far more sweeping changes in the way the EU is run. He proposes a second chamber for the European parliament to be composed of MPs from national parliaments, and an end to the six-monthly rotation of the council presidency. Above all, he wants to streamline the work of the council of ministers into one economic council, one foreign and security affairs council, and a general affairs council for all other business, run by permanently assigned ministers from each member state." Friends of Europe is located in La Bibliothèque Solvay, named after a family closely associated with with the Davignons. Etienne is president of the group while his trusted sidekick Baron Daniel Janssen is on the executive committee. Peter Mandelson, a close Rothschild associate, is one of the trustees. |

Policy Network |

September 22, 2002, The Sunday Times, 'Rothschild bankrolls Mandelson think tank': "Peter Mandelson, the former secretary of state for Northern Ireland, has found a new backer for his political ambitions in the shape of Sir Evelyn de Rothschild... it is perhaps no surprise that de Rothschild has emerged as the mystery funder of Policy Network, a “super think tank” that boasts some of No 10’s senior policy advisers on its board and is chaired by none other than Mandelson... The sum donated to date is said to be £250,000. The name of the donor is missing from the think tank’s accounts, but its directors have been privately concerned that they will look secretive if they continue to hide his identity. One tipped off The Sunday Times last week: “It hasn’t been publicised, but de Rothschild’s involvement is well known to the board.”" Peter Mandelson was the chairman of the think tank, while Sir Evelyn de Rothschild quietly provided the money. The Policy Network coordinates between the New Democrats in the US and New Labour in the UK. |

According to the LCF Rothschild Group: "As brokers and financiers, as bankers to royal houses and governments, as railway magnates, politicians, personalities, patrons and philantropists, the Rothschilds have never forgotten how to "walk with Kings - nor lost the common touch". The Rothschilds have thus remained united in every endeavour, from the creation of De Beers and the financing of Royal Dutch to the privatisation of the Banque de Paris et des Pays-Bas." |
