It is worth mentioning a less well-known 'founding father', Joseph Retinger, a Polish Freemason. Retinger chaired the 1948 congress of the European Movement in The Hague - held under Churchill's patronage - which was attended by seven hundred participants. He also co-founded the Bilderberg meetings, initiated by David Rockefeller. This perhaps already reveals clearly how powerful a role the global financial and political elite took in the creation of European integration, community and then union. British historian Richard Aldrich has pointed out that the 1957 Treaty of Rome, which laid the foundations for the European Economic Community (the Common Market), was conceived at the 1956 Bilderberg conference.
Nor is it a coincidence that the founding fathers, including Paul-Henri Spaak, Robert Schuman, Walter Hallstein, Konrad Adenauer, among others, would often get together in Jean Monnet's apartment to discuss the issues of the European Community. Walter Lippmann, co-founder of the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) established in 1921, also attended these meetings.
From the point of view of understanding the foundations of the union, it is relevant that the American Committee on United Europe (ACUE) was established in New York (!) in 1948 at the initiative and request of Coudenhove-Kalergi. The organization received funding from the Rockefeller and Ford foundations, and was chaired by W.J. Donovan (former head of the US intelligence agency), with co-chairman Allen Dulles, director of CIA. (Dulles also sat on the board of CFR).
In summary, the Rockefeller family, especially David Rockefeller, were perhaps the main backers of the founding fathers' activities and the financiers of the European community. David Rockefeller - who died six years ago at the age of 101 - was also a director of the CFR, one of the initiators of the Bilderberg meetings and of the Trilateral Commission. He was assisted in the creation of the European Community by his confidants Donovan and Dulles, with contribution from the CIA.
Taking a look at who has headed the European Commission offers a fascinating picture. Romano Prodi was at the Commission's helm from 1999 to 2004, and until 2019 he was a member of the European Council on Foreign relations ( ECFR ) - which is a bit like a deep state in the EU - with Hungarian members such as Gordon Bajnai, Klara Dobrev and David Koranyi, among others. Prodi was also a participant in the Bilderberg meetings from 1980. José Manuel Durao Barroso, who led the European Commission for ten years between 2004 and 2014, has been a member of the Bilderberg group since 1994 and is now part of the management. Jean-Claude Juncker, who headed the Commission from 2014 to 2019, is someone we know well; as Luxembourg's finance minister and prime minister, he turned his country into a money laundering haven for the global financial elite.
