Status	DEBUNKED
Summary	The Trilateral Commission is a real international NGO founded in 1973 to foster cooperation among North America, Western Europe, and Japan. Conspiracy theories allege it is a secretive elite group seeking to control governments and create a new world order.
Origin	The commission was founded in 1973 by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski. Conspiracy theories about it emerged in the 1970s, particularly during U.S. presidential campaigns.
Claimed	The Trilateral Commission is a conspiracy seeking to gain control of the U.S. government. The commission aims to create a new world order. Members of the commission, such as George Bush and Jimmy Carter, are part of a plot to influence government policy. The commission is connected to the Illuminati or Freemasons.
Evidence / consensus	The Trilateral Commission is a legitimate, non-governmental policy forum. Its members are private citizens, and it has no formal power. Conspiracy theories are unsupported by evidence; the commission's activities are transparent and its influence is limited to policy recommendations.

> OBSERVER NOTE:
Record filed. The commission exists, but the alleged secret control is unsubstantiated. Standard elite-cabal narrative, no evidence of actual governance.
