Oh, how the Trilateral Commission has fallen…

…I remember the days when reporters snooping around the Tri-Lats could expect to be captured and programmed into sleeper agents assassinating Third World warlords.  Now?  Apologies.

Secretary of State John Kerry’s private remarks to a meeting of influential world leaders last week were allegedly taped by a reporter from The Daily Beast, a fact that led to a personal apology from Trilateral Commission chairman Joseph S. Nye on Monday.

In a letter to Sec. Kerry, obtained by POLITICO, Nye expressed “my deep apology and dismay that a reporter form The Daily Beast, Josh Rogin, somehow sneaked into the meeting room in which you were speaking to the Commission this past Friday.”

“He was not invited,” Nye wrote. “Althought how Mr. Rogin slipped past both Commission staff and Diplomatic Security is unclear to me, we have confirmed that he indeed was present and apparently recorded the session.”

I got my issues with the Daily Beast (and I probably do have issues with Josh Rogin about something he’s written), but if I were him I’d be putting Outwitted the Trilateral Commission on my next set of business cards. Because that’s a brag, in the right circles.

  1. I will confess: I did not know the Tri-Lat was a real thing. Until today, I had only heard it referenced in relation to conspiracy theorists and other such nutjobs.

    Well, you learn something every day!

  2. I have never considered the Tri-Latetal Commission all that smart, so I kinda fail to see outwitting them as a particularly nice feather for anyone’s hat…..

  3. I guess this guarantee two things:

    1. John Kerry will not stop fucking with the Israeli.
    2. John Kerry will not win the Nobel Peace Price.

      1. Ok, I should be a bit more explicit with my joke.

        It was a couple of months ago when some politician in Israel said hat John Kerry should win his Nobel Prize for Peace so he could leave them alone.

  5. It’s refreshing to see a “journalist” being an actual reporter rather than a mere stenographer.
