Superclass Index: permanent government: the West, Russia, Middle East

intro

Above and below the reader can find names of prominent individuals ranked according to the number of NGOs - and a number of key corporations - they (at the very least) have historically been involved with. Overall, this appears to be a very accurate "influence index" when it comes to, once and for all, and in rather scientific manner, identifying the "powers-that-be". The focus is on the West, including Israel, but it is also possible to get a good sense of the situation in Russia.

As the reader will soon realize, most of the individuals listed in the "Superclass Index" - whether they are "liberal elite", "conservative elite", or "neocons" - know one another VERY well and all have the same opinions when it comes to Third World immigration and opposition to "conspiracy theory" in particular. Anyone with an interest in globalization or parapolitical issues would do well to become familiar with this network. After all, it is what secretly dominates our society at every level.

It's possible to check the rankings for yourself by doing searches on this page for particular (sur)names. Over 300 still-alive persons are listed at this point. Hundreds of additional "helpers" can be added if we start looking at individuals having been involved in less than 10 NGOs. The absolute top, mainly consisting of the closest friends of the late David Rockefeller, is by far the most important though. They have built and dominated this global network from at least the 1950s to the 2020s.

GREEN: Career in banking, corporations, in economic government posts, or science.
YELLOW: Congress, senate, judiciary, lower level government position, or (vice) president.
RED Military career, defense secretary, CIA, national security advisor or national security scholar/scientist.
BLUE: State Department.
GRAY: Soviet/nationalist Russian

The above colors have been used to give an indication of each person's professional background. The reader can count all the think tanks, foundations, and other NGOs each person in this list is involved in by going through ISGP's NGO list.

While the name "superclass" comes from Kissinger Associates managing director David Rothkopf, ISGP's "Superclass Index" is completely independent from Rothkopf's "Superclass List". ISGP's list strictly deals with the amount of NGOs a person has been involved with during his or her lifetime.

Zionist

Largely synonymous with Solntsevskaya Bratva in Russia, various Russian oligarchs, past U.S. mobsters as Meyer Lansky, neocon elements in the Pentagon and CIA, and the U.S.-based Israel lobby. It's quite worrying to see the great overlap between top U.S. officials and the Zionist list.

Russia

Putin is a modern KGB/FSB elitist who has subdued the oligarchs and think tank elite. His power comes from the FSB old boys and the oil, gas, media and defense corporations he has taken control of.

"The Kay [Graham] of the permanent establishment never lost sight of the fact that societies thrive not by the victories of their factions but by their ultimate reconciliations. Kay and I met in 1969 at the home of Joe Alsop, another member of Washington's permanent establishment."

 
July 23, 2001, Henry Kissinger, Eulogy for Katharine Graham of the Washington Post.


"[Think tanks] exert definite and even considerable influence on the process of elaborating and making political decisions. It is connected with the fact that ... leaders of such centers have as a rule personal close links with the [government]. Second, the centers are created in order to prepare and adopt the major political decisions in the shade, far from public. Third, such analytical and expert centers really accumulate the best intellectual forces of the country and fourth, not always but rather often, the centers were founded simply to provide jobs to [retired] politicians."

 
1999, Yuri Pivovarov, 'Power Institutions in Post-Communist Russia: Official Forms and Hidden Transcripts,' p. 18 (NATO library). The influence of Russian think tanks on the executive body seems to be many times less than is the case in the United States, but the reasons for their existence seem to be the same.


"In addition to supplying experts for incoming administrations, think tanks provide departing officials with institutional settings [where they] remain engaged in pressing foreign policy debates, and constitute an informal shadow foreign affairs establishment. This "revolving door" is unique to the United States, and a source of its strength. ...

"Think tanks provide policy-makers with venues in which to build shared understanding, if not consensus, on policy options... Among think tanks, the non-partisan Council on Foreign Relations has been most adept at this convening role, hosting hundreds of meetings annually in New York, Washington, and major cities around the country. For U.S. officials, events at major think tanks offer non-partisan settings to announce new initiatives, explain current policy, and launch trial balloons."

 
November 1, 2002, future CFR president Richard Haass, State Department Archive, 'Think Tanks and U.S. Foreign Policy: A Policy-Maker's Perspective'.


"Long after the Iraq War went south, when its failures could no longer be minimized, the elite newspapers and weeklies finally got around to offering sound analyses and asking the Bush Administration tough questions. ...

"My initial support for the [2003 Iraq] war was symptomatic of unfortunate tendencies within the foreign policy community, namely the disposition and incentives to support wars to retain political and professional credibility. We 'experts' have a lot to fix about ourselves."

 
Summer 2009, Mo. 13, Democracy Journal, 'Mission Not Accomplished', by Leslie Gelb, CFR president 1993-2003.


Sources

The names of institutes and individuals on this page have been gathered over the course of more than a thousand hours over 17 years from sources as:

  • books;
  • newspapers;
  • official websites (don't forget Webarchive);
  • unofficial websites (names were always double checked);
  • a number of membership lists;
  • and the Who's Who.

Many fully-written-out sources can be found in various articles and mixed membership-biography lists on this website. However, providing specific sources on the names with each institute has proven to be completely impossible due to time constraints.

All mid- to low level institutes - those without any recognizable superclass names on the various boards - have been left out of these lists. This oversight really is about the 1,500 most important NGOs, with a few dozen key corporations mixed in where elites have also gathered through various board memberships over the decades.

Importance

This page has primarily been put together to make cross-referencing - as to who is involved in what - a hundred times easier than before. And maybe even more important, also to figure out in a rather scientific way as to which players are the most influential within the globalist movement.

People studying political science should have a good idea of the non-government organizations listed on this page. They vary considerable in purpose and influence, but are an integral part of the globalization process, as well as intelligence and covert operations. For an explanation of how various establishments overlap with each other, or maybe "oppose" one another, the reader can visit the introduction page.

What keeps this entire network afloat are funds from corporations and foundations, membership fees, fund raisers and occasional government grants. Ban the foundations, curb corporate contributions, and the whole network will start to fall apart.

Let's face it, if you don't know anything about the NGOs making up the private, supranational superclass running national governments in the West, it doesn't matter how many political degrees you have: you don't know, and never will know, anything about real politics.

Interestingly, back in early 2004 this author was unable to find more than six or seven of the more important organizations below on one website or in one book, even after looking for it all over the place. Often groups like the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission were mixed in with the "Illuminati", the "Freemasons" and the "New World Order". Tiny bits of information on such groups as the Pilgrims, Le Cercle, the 1001 Club, the JASON Group, the Sun Valley Meetings and others were scattered all over the place and often not freely accessible. Information on mainland Europe with regard to these kind of groups was especially scarce. And in all cases no one had a clue how various groups related to each other.

As the reader can see on ISGP, this situation has changed. A lot.

Citizens for a Free Kuwait (CFK)
Set up by Hill & Knowlton of Robert Keith Gray. Conspired with Kuwaiti elites and the Bush administration to sell the 1st Gulf War by spreading the disinformation that Iraqi soldiers took babies out of their incubators and left them to die on the cold floor. "Nayirah", secretly the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the U.S., was given acting lessons and told this story to congress. President Bush himself kept repeating this story and the press refused to expose it until after the U.S. invasion.

Interestingly, there was no need for this disinformation, as Iraqi soldiers pillaged, raped, tortured and murdered at will. At the same time, Kuwait had been ruled by a dictatorial emir and an elite with spoiled rich kids. The emir employed large-scale immigrant labor under virtually slave conditions.

To show that the leaders of government and captains of industry were smaller than [Bill Gates] is. I guess we are. I was afraid not to go. My competitors would seem more important than me, and they might get to see and hear something my stockholders would expect me to see and hear. It was quite a turnout."

Por-Third World immigration propaganda group:

renewoureconomy.org/about/ (accessed: April 25, 2020): "The Partnership for a New American Economy brings together more than 500 Republican, Democratic, and Independent mayors and business leaders united in making the economic case for streamlining, modernizing, and rationalizing our immigration system."

September 29, 2010, renewoureconomy.org, 'Mayor Bloomberg on the Partnership for a New American Economy': "Immigrants come here to work, start businesses, and create jobs. ... Business leaders and mayors from all parts of the country are joining the Partnership for a New American Economy, because they understand that keeping America competative is not a Democratic or a Republican issue. ... The time has come to fix our broken immigration system and to keep the American economy growing and the American Dream alive."

September 29, 2010. renewoureconomy.org, 'Rupert Murdoch On Why He Supports Immigration Reform': "As an immigrant, I feel an obligation to speak up about immigration polices that will keep America the most creative and economically competative in the world. .. I had the freedom to pursue my dreams, to secure the best opportunities for my children, and to participate in the open dialogue that is essential to a free society. Today America is deeply divided over immigration policy. Many people worry that immigrants will take their jobs, challenge their culture, or change their community. Others want to punish those who fled poverty or oppression in their native countries and came to the U.S. outside the legal system. ... Sadly, immigration has become a wedge issue to some partisan interests used to advance a political agenda. ... Immigration is to important to be a partisan cause [all parties simply need to get in line and fully open the borders so our multinationals benefit]."

Defeat Disinfo
Curtis Hougland (developed the initial AI tech on a grant from DARPA to counter ISIS propaganda) | Stephanie Berger (fundraiser; former DNC national finance director). Advisory board: Gen. Stanley McChrystal

Its launch was in every major newspaper. DefeatDisfo.org frontpage at that point (didn't list officers): "Trump's lies about Joe Biden & Covid-19 threaten our society. Republicans and Russians weaponize these lies to divide the nation. The big tech companies can't or won't help – it's up to us to act. To defeat Trump in 2020, we must defeat disinformation. Join the digital frontline to take back the internet today."

The project is using AI to analyze and spread anti-Trump "counter-disinformation" through "3.4 million influencers in the country" that are active on the internet and social media. This would theoretically mean that 1% of U.S. citizens are active Democrat-globalist propagandists.

Oude Loo Conferenties / Oude Loo Conferences
17 (very early) weekly interfaith conferences organized between 1951 and 1957 at castle Oude Loo, owned by Princess Wilhelmina of Orange-owned (Dutch queen 1890-1948). The first meeting counted 130 participants, after 200 had been invited. Later meetings counted about 180 participants.

Regular conference visitor Professor Gilles Quispel (author on hermeticism and Gnostic Christianity) in 'Andere Tijden': "America and Russia were never discussed. Neither the arms race. The meetings were meant to try to find a synthesis between Christianity and the world religions. [Hofmans] was an introvert, sexless woman..."

The group was inspired by Queen Julia advisor Greet Hofmans and her ally, Johan Willem Kaiser. Both were heavily inspired by the teachings of Jiddu Krishnamurti, an Indian Theosophist who each summer between 1921 and 1929 came to the Netherlands as part of the Order of the Star, the Dutch branch operating from Castle Eerde from 1924 to 1929. The castle was provided to the group by Baron Philip van Pallandt, whose cousin Rudolf was a senator. During the last "star camp" in 1929 3,000 followers from 48 countries were brought together by Krishnamurti.

Krishnamurti had been raised from age 11 by Charles Webster Leadbeater and Annie Besant, the leaders of the Theosophical Society, to become the new World Teacher / Maitreya, making the Oude Loo Conferences at the very least an offshoot of the Theosophical Society.

Apart from Bernhard's extramarital affairs, the conferences caused a rift between Prince Bernhard and Queen Julia. When the latter eventually told Bernhard to leave the palace, Bernhard leaked details of his wife's association with Greet Hofmans and the conferences to his journalist friend Sefton Delmer, which in turn resulted in an article in Der Spiegel, causing a political crisis. The so-called Greet Hofmans Affair forced Juliana to distance herself from the group. Afterwards, the group continued under the name "Oude Veld Conferences" until 1968. As part of her terms for leaving the Oude Loo Conferences, Juliana demanded that Bernhard withdrew himself from Bilderberg, but the investigative committee never made this public and the association between Bilderberg and the royal house of Orange continued unhindered.

Participants: Greet Hofmans (central figure, but only behind the scenes, because she did not speak English; spiritual medium who advised Queen Juliana since 1948, when Bernhard brought her to Palace Soestdijk in relation to Princess Marijke's eye-disease; her spirit communications guided the content of the conferences) | Johan Willem Kaiser (conference organizer and close ally of Hofmans; former director Stoomvaart Maatschappij Nederland; financed by Princess Wilhelmina) | Baroness Van Heeckeren van Molecaten (member organizing committee; personal secretary of Queen Juliana; after Greet Hofmans contacted her in 1946, she provided her with a place at her domain, from which her fame grew) | Queen Julia of Orange and friends (annual conference visitor) | Queen Mother Wilhelmina (annual conference visitor) | Eleanor Roosevelt (present at the second conference, but labeled it "fanatical") | Frits Philips (of the elite Philips company) | Pierson banking family | Viruly industrial family | Fokker family (of the Dutch airplane builder) | Jiddu Krishnamurti | Martin Buber (Jewish religious philosophist) | Rabbi Jacob Soetendorp | Friedrich WĂ¼rzbach (founder Nietzsche Society; half-Jew who was a complete Nazi, but still dismissed by the party) | Annemarie Schimmel (German scholar on Islam and Sufism; Harvard professor 1967-1992) | Zafrullah Khan (founding father of Pakistan).

Groep Rijkens / Rijkens Group
Business lobyy that got itself involved in Dutch foreign policy towards its Indonesia colony.

Paul Rijkens (founding chair of Unilever 1930-) | H.M. Hirschfeld (director Unilever and KPM) | Kees Scholtens (former chief of Shell Indonesia; director Shell; head of the Iraanse Oliemaatschappij, which would be nationalized) | Emile van Konijnenburg (director and vice-president of Royal Dutch Airlines (KLM) involved with Sukarno in Indonesia politics) | Dr. Marcus van Blankenstein (Dutch-Jewish journalist at The Parool post WWII) | Prince Bernhard of Orange (very close friend of Rijkens in particular and very supportive of this group).

2004, 'Hollandse sporen in de sawa', p. 311: "Drees, Beel, Luns, Romme en andere Haagse stoerlingen, die kletsen over Indonesië en Sukarno zonder benul the hebben van hoe de kaarten in Jakarta werkelijk lagen. ... De Amerikaanse president [JFK] had direct al de beschikking over gegevens dat er in Nederland een krachtige oppositie bestond tegen het beleid van Luns, onder wie prins Bernhard, Paul Rijkens en vele anderen. ... Zelf had ik een en ander bepleit bij Walt Rostow en ook de groep-Rijkens en prins Bernhard waren eraan te pas gekomen om Washington ervan te overtuigen Nederland onder druk te zetten en Nieuw-Guinea over te dragen. ...
Ik heb zes jaar in het geheim in de marge van de groep Rijkens geopereerd, tot een CIA-agent zich in het gezelschap binnendrong. In 1964 is hij bij een verkeersongeval nabij Sassenheim om het leven gekomen."

2009, Wouter Meijer, 'Ze zijn gek geworden in Den Haag', p. 95: "In april 1961 was Oltmans nog altijd in de weer om leden van de groep-Rijkens met Soekarno in contact te brengen. Hij was nooit officieel in dienst geweest bij deze groep industriëlen, maar legde in opdracht van hen in de jaren 1956-1961 vaak contacten met Indonesische politici en ambtenaren, of werd eropuit gestuurd om poolshoogte te nemen, zoals in Indonesië in 1957. De belangrijkste figuren binnen de groep-Rijkens waren Paul Rijkens zelf, Kees Scholtens, oud-chef van de Koninklijke/Shell in Indonesië, en Emile van Konijnenburg, onderdirecteur van KLM en tevens het belangrijkste contact van Oltmans binnen de groep. Het doel van de groep was, zoals Rijkens het zelf verwoordde, om de 'zich steeds verbredende kloof tussen beide landen [Nederland en Indonesië] te helpen overbruggen, waar onze regering die overbrugging niet kon beginnen."

Members: Lord Milner | Lionel Curtis | Philip Kerr (secretary; 11th Marquess of Lothian) | Lord Leo Amery | Lord Robert Brand | Sir Reginald Coupland. Later: Baron Gore-Booth | Lord Douglas Hurd | Sir Michael Howard | Sir Robert Wade-Gery.

1910-1912: local Round Table groups were set up in Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Improved co-operation among nations/region soon became more popular than the idea of the more centralized imperial federation concept. Free market economics also eventually won over Imperial Preference (British goods first, second from the colonies, and lastly from outsiders). In the late 1930s a split occurred between supporters and opponents of appeasement.

Publication since 1910: The Round Table Journal: A Quarterly Review of the Politics of the British Empire.

January 2006, The Round Table Journal, 'World War I and Anglo-American' has an interesting history on the movement."

Layalina develops and produces informational and entertaining Arabic-language television programming for licensing to satellite and cable TV networks throughout the Arab Middle East and North Africa.
The events of September 11, the war against Iraq, and the increasing level of distrust and anger toward the United States emanating from the Arab Middle East and North Africa inspired us to launch this crucial public diplomacy initiative."

2007
Quilliam Foundation
Supposedly a Pro-Islam lobby that combats Muslim extremism. However, the foundation has a rather schizophrenic approach in that it is rather pro-neocon, pro-Israel and pro-spying on alleged Muslim extremists in the West, but at the same time critical of Dutch neocon Geert Wilders. It is also named after a 19th-century British convert to Islam who founded Britain's first mosque and called for a global Caliphate. Claims it works on a "West friendly" version of Islam.

Would ordinarily receive liberal establishment backing because it criticizes anti-Islam conservative leaders as Geert Wilders. However, in reality is receives tons of neocon backing. Financiers: Criticized for having received 1 million pounds in start-up funds from the British government. Received a $1,080,997 grant of the John Templeton Fdn. for the period September 2014 - June 2017. Other funders: Templeton Fdn. ($174,248 in 2011) | Stuart Family Foundation ($495,000 in 2011-2012 period; finances both liberal and conservative groups) | Bradley Fdn. ($75,000 in 2013; conservative) | Sam Harris ($20,000 in 2014; "war with Islam" promoter)

1970s-2002
Saudi Investment Company (SICO)
An international subsidiary of the Saudi Binladen Group ran by Yeslam bin Laden, a half brother of Osama bin Laden. Already in 1999 French intelligence linked the company to the financing of Osama bin Laden's terrorist network. In addition, Yeslam owned Avcon Business Jets SA and is known to have sent at least one person to the same tiny Florida airport where 9/11 ringleader Mohammed Atta and some of his aides were trained by CIA and White House-linked individuals.

Apparently Ruslan Saidov was the manager of the foundation's Kavkaz/Caucasus center. Saidov was a key partner in Far West Ltd., for which, among other things, he managed a 5% stake of Al Haramain. Other 5% stake holders apparently were Saudi intelligence chief Prince Turki al Faisal, a reported friend of Saidov, and notorious arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi. U.S. partners of Far West included retired top CIA officer Fritz Ermarth, KBR Halliburton (under Cheney when it co-founded Far West in 1998) and Diligence, LLC, co-founded by William Webster and tightly linked to Carlyle and the Bush administration, and, later on, the Rothschild family.

United Nations Security Council Committee pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1989 (2011) concerning Al-Qaida and associated individuals and entities: "Julaidan was a member of Al-Haramain & Al-Aqsa’s board of directors, and he opened three bank accounts on behalf of the NGO between 1997 and 2001. As at 2003, Julaidan continued to have authority to handle two of Al-Haramain & Al Masjed al-Aqsa’s bank accounts as a signatory of its two Bosnian accounts. Al-Haramain & Al Masjed al-Aqsa Charity Foundation in Bosnia and Herzegovina was linked to the Saudi Arabia-based Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation which presented itself as a private, charitable and educational non-governmental organization. When viewed as a single entity, Al-Haramain was one of the principal NGOs active throughout the world providing support for the Al-Qaida network. Funding generally came from individual benefactors and special campaigns which targeted selected business entities around the world. "

2017, Andrea Bosco, 'The Round Table Movement and the Fall of the 'Second' British Empire (1909-1919)', p. 7 (Leo Amery quote): "If the vision was [Cecil] Rhodes, it was [Lord] Milner who over some twenty years laid securely the foundations of a system whose power in shaping the outlook and spiritual kinship of an ever-growing body of men throughout the English-speaking world it would be difficult to exaggerate."

2017, Andrea Bosco, 'The Round Table Movement and the Fall of the 'Second' British Empire (1909-1919)', p. 127: "[Milner's] Kindergarten accepted as their natural leader Duncan, who at the age of thirty one--the others being in their late twenties, Brand 24 and Kerr 23--was the oldest of them... The Kindergarten strengthened their Oxford ties by living together near Milner's headquarters at Sunnyside estate, in a house rented by Wyndham until Milner's departure."

League of Outlaws
Communist precursor organization.
1834-1836
League of the Just / League of Just Men / Communist League
Artisan-dominated secret society that spun off from the League of Outlaws (which quickly ceased to exist). Partnered with Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1847 (publishing Marx's Communist Manifesto in the process), in which they agreed to become a public political movement known as the Communist League.

Demands of the Communist Manifesto:
- a progressive income tax;
- abolition of inheritances and private property;
- abolition of child labour;
- free public education;
- nationalisation of the means of transport and communication;
- centralisation of credit via a national bank;
- expansion of publicly owned land.

Marx's Communist Manifesto on the abolition of the family (vague): "Abolition of the family! Even the most radical [individuals] flare up at this infamous proposal of the Communists. ... On what foundation is the present family, the bourgeois family, based? On capital, on private gain. In its completely developed form this family exists only among the bourgeoisie. But this state of things finds its complement in the practical absence of the family among the proletarians, and in public prostitution. ... The proletarian is without property; his relation to his wife and children has no longer anything in common with the bourgeois family-relations. ... By the action of Modern Industry, all family ties among the proletarians are torn asunder, and their children transformed into simple articles of commerce and instruments of labour. ...
The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course when its complement vanishes, and both will vanish with the vanishing of capital."

Marx's Communist Manifesto on women: "But you Communists would introduce "community of women"", screams the whole bourgeoisie in chorus. [The fact is:] the bourgeois sees in his wife a mere instrument of production [with women] to be exploited in common... Our bourgeois, not content with having the wives and daughters of their proletarians at their disposal [for workplace exploitation], not to speak of [shared] prostitutes, take the greatest pleasure in seducing each other's wives. Bourgeois marriage is in reality a system of wives in common. ...
[Hence the Bourgeouis] has not even a suspicion that the real point [of us communists] is to do away with the status of women as mere instruments of production. ... The Communists have no need to introduce [an activist] community of women; it has existed almost from time immemorial. ... [We are for] the abolition of ... prostitution, both public and private."

July 1926, The Atlantic, 'The Russian Effort to Abolish Marriage': "When the Bolsheviki came into power in 1917 they regarded the family, like every other 'bourgeois' institution, with fierce hatred, and set out with a will to destroy it. ... A law was passed which made divorce a matter of a few minutes... Chaos was the result. Men took to changing wives with the same zest...
'Some men have twenty wives, living a week with one, a month with another,' asserted an indignant woman delegate during the sessions of the Tzik. 'They have children with all of them, and these children are thrown on the street for lack of support! (There are three hundred thousand bezprizorni or shelterless children in Russia to-day... More than half of them are drug addicts and sex perverts. ...
An epidemic of marriages and divorces broke out in the country districts. ... It was not an unusual occurrence for a boy of twenty to have had three or four wives, or for a girl of the same age to have had three or four abortions. ... Many women of light behavior ... formed connections with the sons of well-to-do peasants and then blackmailed the father for the support of the children."
