Întâlnirea „Trilateralei”. Cum i-au primit Băsescu şi Isărescu pe membrii misterioasei organizaţii de sute de miliarde de euro

Premierul Boc a rostit cuvântul de bun venit, iar preşedintele Băsescu le-a oferit un dineu conducătorilor din umbră ai planetei

Comisia Trilaterală (Trilateral Commission), una dintre cele mai influente organizaţii mondiale, şi-a ţinut la Bucureşti, de vineri până duminică, reuniunea anuală a "aripii" europene. Peste 100 de personalităţi din rândul politicienilor şi oamenilor de afaceri din spaţiul comunitar s-au întâlnit la Banca Naţională, sub patronajul guvernatorului BNR, Mugur Isărescu, unul din cei doi membri români ai Trilateralei, alături de Mihai Tănăsescu, reprezentantul României la FMI.

Între cei prezenţi şi la dineul oferit, sâmbătă, de preşedintele Traian Băsescu la Cotroceni s-au numărat Peter Sutherland - preşedintele Goldman Sachs, Jacob Frenkel - preşedintele JP Morgan Chase, Wolfgang Ischinger - preşedintele Conferinţei de Securitate de la München, Marek Belka - preşedintele Băncii Naţionale a Poloniei, Michael Fuchs - vicepreşedinte executiv al Comisiei şi vicepreşedintele CDU (partidul din care face parte cancelarul Germaniei, Angela Merkel), alţi reprezentanţi la vârf ai unor corporaţii internaţionale şi lideri politici, diplomaţi şi reprezentanţi elitei academice.

România, cap de afiş la dezbateri

Mihai Tănăsescu a declarat că "Aceşti oameni aduc progresul, aduc unitatea, o mai bună cunoaştere a lucrurilor care se întâmplă în fiecare ţară".

Oficial, în cadrul reuniunii s-au discutat subiecte generoase precum viitorul UE şi dezarmarea nucleară. Vineri, când guvernanţii asudau în urma creşterii temperaturii luptei sindicale, premierul Emil Boc şi-a găsit timp pentru a le adresa participanţilor un cuvânt de bun sosit.

Apoi, a început o dezbatere despre România şi vecinătăţile ei, la care au participat ministrul de Externe, Teodor Baconschi, şi fostul ministru de externe, fost ministru al Apărării, Teodor Meleşcanu, alături de fostul comisar european bulgar pentru Protecţia Consumatorilor, Meglena Kuneva, de ministrul moldovean de Externe, Iurie Leancă, şi de secretarul de stat adjunct din Ministerul de externe ungar Janos Hovari. Sâmbătă, s-a discutat despre situaţia Germaniei la 20 de ani de la reunificare şi despre felul în care criza economică mondială a afectat Europa.

Duminică, dezbaterile au fost axate pe globalizare, fiind prezentat mesajul directorului FMI, Dominique Strauss-Kahn. La final, a fost analizat un subiect favorit la preşedintelui Băsescu - politica internaţională în regiunea Mării Negre, felul în care se intersectează în zonă interesele Statelor Unite, Europei şi Rusiei.

O creaţie marca Rockefeller

Pe de altă parte, adversarii globalizării şi mai ales adepţii teoriilor conspiraţioniste văd în Comisia Trilaterală şi în organizaţia-soră (Consiliul pentru Relaţii Externe - Council on Foreign Relations - CFR) vârfurile de lance ale guvernării globale, fiecare reuniune a acestora fiind catalogată drept o nou pas spre întărirea puterii de manipulare a destinului planetar spre o viaţă în care câteva sute sau mii de inşi vor deţine o putere absolută, transfrontalieră, iar sclavagismul va reînflori.


Înfiinţată în iulie 1973, Comisia nu şi-a ascuns niciodată intenţiile de propagare a globalizării, dar susţine că o face exclusiv spre binele tuturor pământenilor, chiar dacă împotriva voinţei guvernelor. Miliardarul american David Rockefeller este preşedintele onorific al CFR şi al Comisiei Trilaterale şi cel care a avut iniţiativa înfiinţării acesteia din urmă.

Comisia Trilaterală face eforturi consistente pentru a fi percepută ca o organizaţie transparentă. Astfel, pe site-ul organizaţiei este publicată şi actualizată permanent lista cu toţi cei peste 300 de membri, între care 150 europeni, 107 asiatici şi restul nord-americani. În prezent, nu pot fi membri cei care deţin funcţii publice executive, dar lista cuprinde zeci de foşti sau viitori oficiali. De pildă, preşedintele european al Comisiei, Mario Monti, a fost comisar european pe probleme de concurenţă, între anii 1999 - 2005, iar unul dintre cei şapte preşedinţi onorifici, Paul Adolph Volker, a fost preşedintele Rezervelor Federale ale SUA, în mandatele democratului Jimmy Carter şi republicanului Ronald Reagan, iar în prezent conduce grupul de consilieri ai preşedintelui Obama pentru relansare economică.

Administraţia Carter a fost girată de Trilaterală

Există elemente care alimentează anatema de organizaţie ocultă în cazul Trilateralei, însă majoritatea au fost relevate în primii 20 de ani de existenţă ai organizaţiei. Astfel, faptul că fostul preşedinte american Jimmy Carter a fost un susţinător fervent al organizaţiei, că a participat la reuniunea acesteia din 1976 a fost cu totul "scăpat din vedere" de mass-media de peste Ocean în timpul campaniei prezidenţiale din 1976 - fapt devoalat într-o recenzie a administraţiei Carter, realizată cinci ani mai târziu, după ce conexiunea administraţiei cu Trilaterala a fost catalogată drept "Cea mai importantă ştire cenzurată".

În administraţia Carter, vicepreşedintele, ministrul de Externe, al Apărării şi ministrul Trezoreriei, împreună cu alţi oficiali de rang inferior erau membri ai Comisiei Trilaterale! Acuzaţii privind exercitarea puterii de influenţă a persoanelor respective în interesul Trilateralei continuă să apară chiar şi la 30 de ani de la consumarea evenimentelor.

EXPLICAŢIE De ce e criză în România

Greii finanţelor şi ai diplomaţiei internaţionale au fost informaţi, conform Ziarului Financiar, că în România nu a avut loc practic o criză financiară pentru că nu s-a păbuşit nicio bancă, statul nu a dat capital băncilor private aşa cum s-a întâmplat în Vest, iar BNR nu a ajutat sistemul bancar cu lichiditate decât pe o perioadă scurtă. Amploarea crizei din România ţine de faptul că politicienii nu au realizat cât de periculoasă este o politică fiscală şi salarială prociclică (cu creşteri de cheltuieli în perioadă de boom economic în loc de economisire), iar populaţia a căzut în capcana iluziei că expansiunea economică va dura la nesfârşit. Ca soluţie de atragere de capitaluri a fost invocată posibilitatea unei amnistii discale pentru români care deţin sume mari de bani în străinătate .
