In April of 2007, James P. Tucker Jr. reported in American Free Press that the Trilateral Commission held a secret meeting in Brussels.

The primary details leaked from this meeting regarded pressure on the United States to "adopt a carbon monoxide control policy," developing and increasing carbon taxes on products such as gasoline. They also discussed the development of the European Union and North American Union.

In addition to Trilateral chairman Peter Sutherland and former CIA head John Deutch, the list of attendees to this meeting is striking. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) attended in violation of the Logan Act of 1799, which states,

Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

Even more interesting are the following three names: Madeleine Albright, Zbigniew Brzezinski and Richard Armitage. These three figures happen to be the foreign policy advisors to the three remaining "front-runners" in the 2008 presidential race.

According to the Washington Post, "Madeleine K. Albright, President [Bill] Clinton’s secretary of state and now chairperson of the National Democratic Institute," is Hillary Clinton's "foreign policy adviser."

"Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Carter’s national security adviser and now a Center for Strategic and International Studies counselor and trustee and frequent guest on PBS’s NewsHour with Jim Lehrer," is Barack Obama's "foreign policy adviser."

And "Richard Lee Armitage, President George W. Bush’s deputy secretary of state and an international business consultant and lobbyist," is John McCain's "informal foreign policy adviser."

It seems that Ron Paul (R-TX), Mike Huckabee (R-AR) and Mike Gravel (D-AL) are the only candidates who weren't represented at the secret meeting less than a year ago. It also happens that these three candidates get the least media attention of the six total.

Jim Tucker pointed out in his article revealing the secret meeting that The Washington Post "is always represented at TC and Bilderberg meetings." They even called for the very tax increase discussed there in an editorial the next day. My research concurs; Donald E. Graham, Chairman and CEO of The Washington Post Company attended Bilderberg in 2007.

The Washington Post is also the only major media publication that I have seen report on who is advising the presidential candidates. In that report, "The War Over the Wonks", the Post lists advisors to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Jonathan Edwards, Rudolf Giuliani, Mitt Romney and John McCain. Paul, Huckabee and Gravel are left out.

Edwards, Giuliani and Romney -- the other establishment candidates significant enough to warrant the Post's attention -- have seceded the presidential race to their Trilateral Commission opponents. Paul, Huckabee and Gravel will continue to be ignored, while the Trilateral Commission determines which of their three puppets will be the "leader of the free world."
