COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS IS AN ELITE CABAL

What exactly is the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)? Many Americans know almost nothing about this organization. Yet, this organization has dominated this country’s politics, the press, and the economy. Representative John R. Rarick once said, “The CFR, dedicated to one-world government, financed by a number of the largest tax-exempt foundations, and wielding such power and influence over our lives in the areas of finance, business, labor, military, education and mass communication media, should be familiar to every American concerned with good government and with preserving and defending the U.S. Constitution and our free-enterprise system. Yet, the nation's right to know machinery – the news media – usually so aggressive in exposures to inform our people, remain conspicuously silent when it comes to the CFR, its members and their activities... The CFR is the establishment. Not only does it have influence and power in key decision-making positions at the highest levels of government to apply pressure from above, but it also finances and uses individuals and groups to bring pressure from below, to justify the high-level decisions for converting the United States from a sovereign constitutional republic into a servile member of a one-world dictatorship.”

Of course, the people know almost nothing about the Council on Foreign Relations because many propagandists, I mean journalists, themselves are members of this elite organization. Some of the CFR propagandists include Barbara Walters, Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, Jim Lehrer, Lesley Stahl, Katie Couric, Tony Snow, Morton Kondracke, Daniel Pipes, and Charles Krauthammer. In fact, the CFR owns and control the television stations, radio stations, and newspapers such as ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS, New York Times, Washington Post, Time, U.S. News & World Report, and Newsweek.

Sadly, some of the Internet newssites “remain conspicuously silent when it comes to the CFR, its members and their activities.” The John Birch Society, meanwhile, has exposed the Council on Foreign Relations for many years.

Since I knew very little about the CFR myself, I decided to do my own research. For almost a year, I spent some time researching and investigating the Council on Foreign Relations. I acquired a copy of past and present membership rosters, dug up some major dirt on many CFR members, acquired smoking-gun photographs of CFR members, and read Internet articles that discussed the CFR. In fact, I, along with my friend Beavis, managed to build a webpage condemning the Council on Foreign Relations. I have also spent some time reading None Dare Call It Conspiracy by Gary Allen, The Invisible Government by Dan Smoot, and Shadows of Power by James Perloff. I was interested in finding a “money trail” and I decided to look at the CFR from a business and financial perspective as well as the political perspective. After all, both politics and finances involve money and power.

In a book called Kissinger: A Biography, Walter Isaacson wrote (on p. 84): “Found in 1921 by members of Manhattan’s internationally minded business and legal elite, the Council [on Foreign Relations] is a private organization that serves as a discussion club for close to three thousand well-connected aficionados of foreign affairs. Beneath the chandeliers and stately portraits in its Park Avenue mansion, members attend lectures, dinners, and roundtable seminars featuring top officials and visiting world leaders.” Isaacson himself is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and a Rhodes Scholar. Notice that Isaacson used the word elite to describe members of CFR.

Who exactly were “Manhattan’s internationally minded business and legal elite” back in 1921? Some of the “internationally minded business and legal elite” who founded the Council on Foreign Relations include Edward Mandell House, Paul Warburg, Otto Kahn, John W. Davis, Isaiah Bowman, Archibald Cary Coolidge, Paul D. Cravath, Norman H. Davis, Stephen P. Duggan, John H. Finley, Edwin F. Gay, David F. Houston, Frank L. Polk, William R. Shepherd, and George Wickersham.

Today, the “internationally minded business and legal elite” include David Rockefeller, Stanley Fischer, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Henry Kissinger, Alan Greenspan, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, George Soros, Paul Wolfowitz, and Rupert Murdoch. The Council on Foreign Relations is not an ordinary private organization; the Council on Foreign Relations is an elite cabal. In fact, the CFR is an organization where the enemies of America and its “controlled opposition” get down and dirty at the Harold Pratt House.

The Council on Foreign Relations control and dominate major corporations, banks, law firms, foundations, social organizations, labor unions, universities, and the press as well as the federal government. Some of the CFR-affiliated corporations and organizations include the JP Morgan Chase, Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, the Trilateral Commission, the Bretton Woods Committee, the CSIS, the Aspen Institute, Human Rights Watch, The Brookings Institution, Harvard University, Princeton, Johns Hopkins University, Georgetown, Ford Foundation, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Fox News, ACLU, AFL-CIO, and the Federal Reserve.

For example, John J. Sweeney is the president of AFL-CIO, America’s largest labor union, and Sweeney himself is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. On the other hand, Robert J. Stevens is the chairman and CEO of Lockheed Martin, and Stevens himself is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. On paper, industrial companies and labor unions are supposed to hate each other. In reality, however, both Big Industry and Big Labor are in bed together. Whenever a worker pays his or her union dues, they are simply getting shafted by the CFR cabal.

Politics is another example. On paper, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party oppose each other. However, the truth is stranger than fiction. High-ranking members of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are in bed together. Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, John Kerry, Joseph Lieberman, and Dianne Feinstein are members of the Democratic Party, and they are all members of the Council on Foreign Relations. Henry Kissinger, John McCain, Newt Gingrich, Dick Cheney, Katherine Harris, and Bill Frist are members of the Republican Party, and they are members of the Council of Foreign Relations. The international bankers control and finance both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. David Rockefeller is a Republican, and George Soros is a Democrat, but their membership into those political parties mean absolutely nothing to them. Thus, the so-called “Leftist-Rightist” political perspectives are nothing more than charades.

The CFR is one of the few organizations where capitalists and socialists work together in harmony. David Rockefeller himself has given aid and comfort to Nikita Khrushchev, Chou Enlai, and Fidel Castro. This explains why CFR members love the Chinese Communists and the Russian Bolsheviks so much. From the time America established diplomatic ties with the Soviet Union in 1933 until its collapse in 1991, the Soviet Embassy was located right across the street from the Harold Pratt House. Almost every ambassador to the Soviet Union were CFR members. In fact, every liaison officers and ambassadors to Red China is or has been members of the Council on Foreign Relations. By the way, Communist agent Alger Hiss was a member of CFR for a short time.

The CFR is truly an elite organization. Membership into this elite cabal is by invitation only. The Council on Foreign Relations is no different from the Chinese Communist Party, the Soviet Communist Party, and the Nazi Party of Germany. Dissent is not tolerated; any CFR member who fails to “toe the line” are expelled from the organization or in some cases killed in cold blood. Important CFR meetings are “off-the-record” and are never discussed in public. Those who leak any secrets will face consequences and repercussions on a massive scale.

According to the CFR’s own “Rule on Non-Attribution,” “t would not be in compliance with the reformulated Rule, however, for any meeting participant (i) to publish a speaker’s statement in attributed form in a newspaper; (ii) to repeat it on television or radio, or on a speaker’s platform, or in a classroom; or (iii) to go beyond a memo of limited circulation, by distributing the attributed statement in a company or government agency newsletter.

The language of the Rule also goes out of its way to make it clear that a meeting participant is forbidden knowingly to transmit the attributed statement to a newspaper reporter or other such person who is likely to publish it in a public medium. The essence of the Rule as reformulated is simple enough: participants in Council meetings should not pass along an attributed statement in circumstances where there is substantial risk that it will promptly be widely circulated or published.” As CFR member David Gergen once said, “It’s none of your damn business.” In other words, just shut up and say nothing. This explains why CFR journalists will say or write absolutely nothing about the CFR’s evil, totalitarian agenda.

This elite cabal has a purpose; the Council on Foreign Relations wants to establish and exercise power and control over the American people and the entire world. Unfortunately, CFR members will do just about anything to achieve their lust for power and domination. Yes, CFR members will lie, cheat, covet, steal, and kill just to get what they want. They will engage in secrecy, treachery, and duplicity. They will even engage in a rebellion and an insurrection against our Constitution and our Declaration of Independence just to get what they want. We the people need to expose and eliminate the Council on Foreign Relations before the CFR destroys us.
