This is a thread I've made a few times. I've posted the names of elite bloodline family members that belong to various Round Table Groups such as the Royal Institute of International Affairs, the Council on Foreign Relations and so on.
If you're not aware of the Round Table Groups, their were originally set up by people at the highest levels of the British Commonwealth such as Nathan Rothschild, 1st Baron Rothschild, Cecil Rhodes and Alfred Milner. Rhodes wrote an essay titled "Confession of Faith" where he described creating a secret society based on the models of the Jesuits and Freemasonry to use the British Empire to create a world government system.
After Rhodes' death, all of his fortune was left in the hands of this network to further this goal and this network began establishing Round Table Groups operating as shadow governments in the Commonwealth countries to further political integration and eroding national sovereignty. Eventually, these groups began spreading across the entire world, not just the Commonwealth countries.
Anyway, these groups continue to exist today and they remain an important arm by which the NWO elite bloodlines exert their power across the world. They include royalty, international bankers, media moguls and journalists, academic professors and university presidents, ambassadors, cabinet and heads of governmental agencies, intelligence agency chiefs and military officers.
Here are some of the current elite bloodlines that have representation in these groups. I will also include some of the members of elite bloodlines that belong to the Bilderberg Group and the World Economic Forum. I'm thinking of expanding this research to include the Trilateral Commission, as well as more past and deceased members from prominent bloodline families as well. But for now, I'm starting somewhat small.
To start off, here is a list of the various Round Table Groups that I’ve discovered through my research. I’ve found the Round Table Groups in about 40% of countries on earth, so I still have a long way to go.

European Council on Foreign Relations: Georges Soros Founder and Chair at opensocietyfoundations.org: George Soros Founder / Chair Under George Soros’s leadership, the Open Society Foundations support individuals and organizations across the globe fighting for freedom of expression, accountable government, and societies that promote justice and equality.
As the Communists consolidated power in Hungary after the war, Soros left Budapest in 1947 for London, working part-time as a railway porter and as a night-club waiter to support his studies at the London School of Economics.
Launching the Open Society Foundations: George Soros used his fortune to create the Open Society Foundations—a network of foundations, partners, and projects in more than 120 countries. Our name and work reflect the influence on Soros’s thinking of the philosophy of Karl Popper, which Soros first encountered at the London School of Economics. In his book Open Society and Its Enemies, Popper argues that no philosophy or ideology is the final arbiter of truth, and that societies can only flourish when they allow for democratic governance, freedom of expression, and respect for individual rights—an approach at the core of the Open Society Foundations’ work.
His giving has reached beyond his own Foundations, supporting independent organizations such as Global Witness, the International Crisis Group, the European Council on Foreign Relations, and the Institute for New Economic Thinking.

Bill Gates at Bilderberg Meeting at washingtonpost.com “A dull office park near Dulles International Airport took on the sheen of a Hollywood thriller this week, when an invitation-only cadre of global leaders gathered for a secretive meeting known as the Bilderberg conference.
Henry Kissinger and Bill Gates were chauffeured in. Fairfax County police established a security perimeter around the Westfields Marriott and prohibited a Washington Post photographer from snapping pictures from a public street.
According to its Web site, the Bilderberg meeting was organized by leaders from Western Europe and North America in the early days of the Cold War, and it is named for the Dutch hotel where the first conclave was held in 1954. The current chairman of its steering committee is a French count. Participants include the neoconservative scholar Richard Perle, billionaire Peter Thiel, and financiers such as Roger Altman and Kenneth M. Jacobs, chairman and chief executive of Lazard.”
List of Past Elite family members belonging to Round Table Groups: Council on Foreign Relations: Paul Warburg at federalreservehistory.org: "Paul M. Warburg was sworn in as a member of the first Federal Reserve Board on August 10, 1914. He was appointed vice chairman (called “vice governor” before 1935) on August 10, 1916. He resigned from the Board on August 9, 1918.
Warburg was considered one of the top authorities on central banking both in Europe and the United States and was active in the monetary reform movement taking place in the United States in the early 1900s. He gave speeches, published several articles advocating the establishment of a US central bank, and was an unofficial advisor to the National Monetary Commission, which was established following the Panic of 1907 to study banking system reform. In 1910, Warburg was one of six men, including Sen. Nelson Aldrich, to participate in a secret meeting on Jekyll Island, Georgia, that resulted in a plan for a National Reserve Association. Although the “Aldrich plan” was rejected by Congress, it laid the foundation for the 1913 Federal Reserve Act, which created the Federal Reserve System. President Woodrow Wilson appointed Warburg to the new entity’s first Board in 1914.
Warburg was also a director of the Council on Foreign Relations (1921–32), a trustee of the Institute of Economics (1922–27), and a trustee of the Brookings Institution after it merged with the Institute of Economics in 1927. He also helped establish the Carl Schurz Memorial Foundation in 1930. He served at various times as a director of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Union Pacific Railroad, and Western Union Telegraph Company. Warburg was also a director of the Julliard School of Music and a trustee of Tuskegee College."

Averell Harriman at nytimes.com: The Council on Foreign Relations— Is It a Club? Seminar? Presidium? ‘Invisible Government'? “ON March 26, 1969, eleven places were set for lunch at the oval table in the Council on Foreign Relations’ stately meeting room overlooking Park Avenue. The guest list was not quite so distinguished as some from the past, judging by the photographs hanging on the black walnut paneling: Harold Macmillan chatting with Henry Wriston; John Foster Dulles wedged stiffly between John J. McCloy and Averell Harriman; John W. Davis towering over the King of Siam. But for a weekday working lunch, it was an impressive assemblage.” nytimes.com/1971/11/21/archives/is-it-a-club-seminar-presidium-invisible-government-the-council-on-.html Waldorf Astor, 2nd Viscount Astor at cambridgescholars.com: "Along with these three major exponents, one should also remember other members of the Kindergarten, such as Geoffrey Dawson (Editor of The Times), Leo Amery (prominent Unionist leader), Waldorf Astor (Chairman of Chatham House and owner of The Times and The Observer), Alfred Zimmern, and Arnold Toynbee (Directors of Research at Chatham House), all of whom directly or indirectly contributed to the development of the federalist debate from Munich to the downfall of France. Special mention should also be made of intellectuals such as H. G. Wells, Bertrand Russell, Harold Laski, Max Waetcher, Salvador de Madariaga, and Norman Angell.

“A Tribute by National Chairman, Fred Phaswana, at the annual National Council meeting on 17 March 2009
The South African Institute of International Affairs’ minute book records that Elisabeth Bradley was elected as a National Council member in 1982 from the Witwatersrand Branch. In fact she was not able to attend that particular meeting and nominated Gibson Thula as her proxy. She was however mentioned in dispatches as the convener of the Standing Conference Committee that was preparing for the Third International Outlook Conference organised by the Institute.
By 1986 as a leading member of Council and now Honorary Treasurer, Elisabeth reported on a particularly difficult recessionary period for the South African economy and its impact on SAIIA. She commented that SAIIA had handled this well and ended the 1984 financial year with an excess of income over expenditure of R836 and 1985 with a larger one of R1798.
Her leading role in turning SAIIA’s finances around was reflected in a vote of thanks from then Chairman, Harry Oppenheimer, in the 1988 Council meeting.
