The Trilateral commission is the liberal world domination conspiracy while the world bank is the conservative world domination conspiracy. Choose your poison :wink:

ROFLMFAO!

I heard this great one where Clinton was going to use the Y2K disaster as a justification to invoke FEMA and sieze dictatorial power.

That one was funny. This one is barely pathetic. The way the question was worded, its assumed that this "Trilateral Comission" actually exists. Shocked and saddened.

It is interesting they need to put the website at 9999, I guess both to avoid firewalls and to avoid unwanted visitors from the anti-conspiracy crowd.

To me, it is a kind of international football club. I mean, here in Spain one of the greatest shows a businessmen can do is to manage a Football club in the First League. Why? It is not only because he gets TV popularity. He gets also the power to invite people to the president zone in any match, and to organize parties and to be invited to others' parties etc. In this way his bussiness gets collateral benefits by stablishing friendships with the managers of other companies.

Well that's nice but the assumption here is that it is a world governing body. Such a body does not exist.
