Abstract

Four think tanks with close ties to the highest levels of government have shaped American foreign policy for decades. They are the Council on Foreign Relations, the RAND Corporation, the Bilderberg Group, and the Trilateral Commission. With direct ties to government officials who have engaged in various covert operations, these organizations provide a space within which advocates of global control can share ideas and develop new policies. Among the groups that have bravely questioned the consensus‐forming character of these think tanks are groups of people whose relatives died on 9/11. Because of their investigations into the government officials whose careers have blossomed as a result of 9/11, these ordinary citizens have become sharp critics of the expansionist ideology that was seemingly legitimized by 9/11.
