The Committee of 300 is a conspiracy theory which posits the existence of a secret society founded by the British aristocracy in 1727. It is alleged to be an international council which organizes politics, commerce, banking, media, and the military for centralized global efforts. The figure of 300 appears to be derived from a pronouncement of Walter Rathenau in his 1917 book Von kommenden Dingen.

Background

Supporters of the theory propose that most major national and international organizations are either controlled or heavily influenced by the operations of the Committee. Claiming to be a former British MI6 Intelligence Officer Dr. John Coleman's book "The Story of the Committee of 300" alleges first hand information and encounters with this group by the author.

Possibly known also as the "Hidden Hand", believers theorize it to be headed up by the Rothschild family of international financiers and based loosely around many of the top National Banking institutions and Royal Families of the world.

Supporters claim the alleged group to be superior to other more well known round table groups such as the Bilderberg Group , the Club of Rome , the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).
