 Posted: Fri May 30, 2008 11:17 pm Post subject: David Rothkopf's new book |
 |
|
Hello all, I've been following these forums for he past few months, and I want to thank all for opening my eye's to all this. I was wondering everyone's impression of David Rothkopf and his new book, entitled Superclass. Rothkopf apparently worked at Kissinger Associates as a managing director, and under the Clinton Administration as an international trade official. How reliable is his testimony; is this just a load of disinformation? I mean, this is seemingly brazen testimony. Any info is appreciated!

This is probably one of the best sources on him.

| Washington Post wrote: | In Superclass, Rothkopf, a former managing director of Kissinger Associates and an international trade official in the Clinton Administration, has identified roughly 6,000 individuals who have "the ability to regularly influence the lives of millions of people in multiple countries worldwide." They are the "superclass" of the 21st century, spreading across borders in an ever thickening web, with a growing allegiance, Rothkopf argues, to each other rather than to any particular nation.
Rothkopf's archetypal member of the superclass is Blackstone Group executive Stephen Schwarzman, who is not only fabulously wealthy, but also chairman of the Kennedy Center, a board member of the New York Public Library, the New York City Ballet, the Film Society of Lincoln Center and the New York City Partnership. These boards, along with the over 100 businesses Blackstone has invested in, the other business councils and advisory boards he sits on, and his Yale and Harvard education, mean that Schwarzman is only one or two affiliations away from any center of power in the world. Rothkopf actually traces the "daisy chain" of Schwarzman's connections through his board memberships -- linking him to Ratan Tata, one of India's richest men, former Mexican president Ernesto Zedillo and many others. It is these links that create access that translates to influence and determines how the levers of power are pulled.

I`ve got a copy of the book. Rothkopf quotes one Bilderberg regular as claiming that "Bilderberg and the Trilateral Commission are absolutely meaningless except as individual network opportunities." and "Oprah Winfrey has more influence than anyone who goes to Bilderberg..."
The lengths Bilderbergers go to to keep their annual meeting secret - this years proving one of the hardest to track down - tells me they have an agenda with loftier goals than harmless networking combined with a round of golf!
Rothkopf briefly mentions meeting Conrad Black (at Kraises` apartment 740 Park Avenue NY) who he describes as a "Canadian publishing magnate and later convicted felon." He does not deem it relevant to mention that Black served on the steering committee of the Bilderberg Group for many years ! |
