NP Rank:
Obama & The CFR
The 2004 Democratic
National Convention may be remembered most for a young and energetic
senator that immediately drew comparison to the Kennedys. Obama's
speech launched his name and image into the public spotlight, and his
fresh style of rhetoric filled a growing anti-war political void –
He voted against the Iraq war and wasn't afraid to criticize it's
handling. Excitement and support for the senator eventually
snowballed into his current presidential campaign. He enjoys a
popular image as a liberal democrat, and his harsh criticism of the
Iraq war has earned him support from a population united in it's
discontent with the current government. To a select crowd of
Americans, Obama preaches against the handling of the Iraq war. To
other more private groups, Obama advocates military strikes on new
middle eastern countries. Obama has aligned himself with several
lobbying firms and nongovernmental organizations who seek further US
militarization of the world. In several speeches and essays, Obama
makes his foreign policy goals clear – and he is not anti-war. Is
Obama intentionally sending a deceptive message to his constituency?
In a recent speech
given to the American Israeli Political Action Committee, Obama
outlines a plan for U.S. hegemony. He suggests polarizing political
alignments that are already breeding anti-U.S. sentiment.
Specifically, Obama pledges unfaltering military support to Israel.
The U.S. has long supported Israel – this year they were given $30
billion for defense of the young state. To put this in perspective,
less than $7 billion has been federally granted to rebuild homes
destroyed after hurricane Katrina. Although the U.S. has always
given billions in aid to Israel, his alliance backs preemptive
strikes against countries deemed a threat. Israel is unpopular in
the region, and is threatened by Iran's desire for modern nuclear
energy in the future. Regarding Iran's nuclear program, Obama states
“We should take no option, including military action, off the
table”. The US has already constructed massive permanent military
bases in Iraq and Afghanistan to serve as hubs for such an operation.
The fleet of aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf continues to
grow, while politicians and media simultaneously hype a nonexistent
enemy. This reckless policy leaves the U.S. on the brink of full
scale war at all times.
Obama differed from
many of his peers by admitting the Iraq war was heavily motivated by
Iraq's oil reserves. Iran's oilfields, and the military buildup of
the Persian Gulf creates and incentive for military action. It has
been questioned if the U.S. military even has the capability of
securing the strategic oil reserve. Iran has some of the most
lucrative oilfields in the region, and provides energy to Asia and
Europe. International economies would be disenfranchised with the US
military disruption of its energy supplies. Meddling in other
countries' foreign affairs has spurred backlash against the U.S.
This phenomenon is referred to as “blowback”, or, the
consequences from provoking actions. Ignoring this cause and effect,
Obama advocates troops in Iraq be redeployed to Pakistan and
Afghanistan to fight amorphous groups of “terrorists”. Regarding
the war on terror, Obama differs from his colleagues in that he does
not believe nuclear weapons should be used – a small concession for
an ambitious military operation. This policy still backs preemptive
strikes and the further militarization of the middle east, all at the
expense of US resources.
Obama outlines his
ambitious geopolitical plans in a recent essay for Foreign Affairs
magazine. Foreign Affairs is published by the Council on Foreign
Relations, which describes itself as a non-partisan group of which he
is a member. Established in the 1920's and headquartered in New
York, its membership includes prominent politicians and business
elite, including heads of academia and media. The organization seeks
to centralize both political power and market power to craft
legislation outside the checks and balances of democracy. The CFR is
rarely mentioned by the mainstream media, making it difficult to
fully gauge its influence. When it is mentioned in the press, it is
likely whitewashed as trivial or irrelevant. Notable members of the
CFR include:
Dick Cheney
John Kerry
Bill Clinton
Al Gore
Ronald Reagan
George H. W. Bush
Gerald Ford
Richard Nixon
John, David &
Nelson Rockefeller
Condolezza Rice
Paul Wolfowitz
Alan Greenspan
Colon Powell
Henry Kissinger
Angelina Jolie
(Yes, the actress has a five year term membership as an
ambassador)
Its membership list
is a who's who of Washington and Wall St. elite going back nearly a
century. It should not be surprising that most presidential
candidates in the 2008 election are CFR members. Candidates do not
advertise their CFR membership to the public. They pose as
“liberals” and “conservatives” to control all aspects of the
debate. The CFR has stacked the deck for the 2008 election with
several members in the race from both sides of the isle:
Democrat CFR
Candidates:
Barack Obama
Hillary Clinton
John Edwards
Chris Dodd
Bill Richardson
Republican CFR
Candidates:
Mitt Romney
Rudy Giuliani
John McCain
Fred Thompson
Newt Gingrich
The mainstream
media's self-proclaimed “top tier” candidates are united in their
CFR membership, while an unwitting public perceives political
diversity. The unwitting public has been conditioned to
instinctively deny such a mass deception could ever be hidden in
plain view. Presidential Candidate & Congressman Ron Paul is
the only “top tier” candidate who is not a member of the CFR.
Although many
politicians hold membership, It must be noted that the Council on
Foreign Relations is a non-governmental organization. The CFR's
membership is a union of politicians, bankers, and scholars, with
several large businesses holding additional corporate memberships.
Corporate members include:
Halliburton of
Dubai
British Petroleum
Dutch Royal Shell
Exxon Mobile
General Electric
(NBC)
Chevron
Lockheed Martin
Merck
Pharmaceuticals
News Corp (FOX)
Bloomberg
IBM
Time Warner
JP Morgan/ Chase
Manhattan
& several other
major financial institutions
Members are united
in their interventionist intentions with the goal of a consolidated
global governance. The CFR's mission is to influence policy through
the reach of its members and publications. Those who study the CFR
ideology are recruited and cultured for membership. The best and
brightest university students are taught to propagate the CFR model.
Individuals who both subscribe to the CFR ideology and can bring an
element of capital (political status, business influence, money) to
the group will be given membership. Members meet at the CFR
headquarters in Manhattan and Washington DC, and round-table style
discussions are held for its membership to discuss foreign affairs
and make recommendations on policy. The CFR often creates “task
forces” to report “findings and policy prescriptions” (cfr.org)
for specific current world events, and also publishes the periodical
Foreign Affairs magazine. CFR authors are often found in mainstream
media publications. In a recent issue of TIME magazine, one CFR
member writes: “The US should make (Pakistani President & US
intelligence asset) Musharraf the best dictator he can be”.
Another author, this time in Newsweek magazine objectively argues to
the readers that the world really isn't all that bad in an article
titled “Don't Worry, Be Happy”. Currently, the front page of
CFR.org features essays on European anti-terrorism measures, radical
Iranians, and the reemergence of the nuclear threat (CFR members in
government control the nuclear football). Many prominent
publications are influenced and controlled by the CFR:
Time
Newsweek
US News & World
Report
Atlantic Monthly
Forbes
& several major
publishing houses
Members of the CFR
in the media intend to inject it's pro-globalist arguments into the
mainstream consciousness. Although the CFR is self-described as a
non-partisan association, it unabashedly promotes a
one-world-government agenda without regard for US sovereignty or the
desires of the American people.
The goals of the
CFR is best described by its very own members. Bill Clinton's
Georgetown mentor and CFR member Carroll Quigley states: “The
Council on Foreign Relations is the American branch of a society
which originated in England... (and) ...believes national boundaries
should be obliterated and one world rule established.”. Quigley
differs from many of his CFR colleagues in that he believes their
plan for a new world order should be more publicly disclosed. In his
book Tragedy and Hope, Quigley concedes he is unique among his peers
in that he believes the new world order plan of global government's
“role in history is significant enough to be known”. Quigley
also admits that the two-party system allows for both groups to be
controlled at the highest level but operate like bitter rivals. As
Quigley says, this gives the voters the chance to “throw the
rascals out at any election without leading to any profound of
extreme shifts in policy.”. Controlling Washington elite allowed
private central banks to “dominate the political system... ...and
economy of world as a whole” and implement a new system of
“feudalist fashion” through “secret agreements”. Although he
believes the CFR's intentions should be more public, Quigley
understands the average person doesn't understand feudalism or
serfdom and will never read his book.
Surprisingly, many
of its own members admit the CFR goal is to subvert the democratic
process. CFR member and Judge Advocate General of the US Navy
Admiral Chester Ward writes “The main purpose of the (CFR) is
promoting the disarmament of US sovereignty and national dependence
and submergence into and all powerful, one world government.”.
This high ranking military officer went on to explain their
procedures for influencing policy, claiming: “Once the ruling
members of the CFR shadow government have decided that the US
government should adopt a particular policy, the very substantial
research facilities of the CFR are put to work to develop arguments,
intellectual and emotional, to support the new policy and to confound
and discredit, intellectually and politically, any opposition.”.
The CFR's strategy
is also being used to promote world government as well as the new
environmental agenda. Obama and most candidates have made the
environment a major issue in the policy. The CFR has long suggested
a global tax, specifically identifying the environmental movement as
a means for its advancement. All CFR candidates align themselves
with the position that the government has both the ability and
responsibility to maintain the world's environment. Good intentioned
individuals may genuinely seek environmental protection, but
nongovernmental organizations are quickly capitalizing on land
acquisitions and taxes in the name of global warming. While most
scientist agree the planet earth is undergoing a degree of climactic
change, the CFR admits the environmental argument will be used to
erode national sovereignty and build up their global authority.
Proposed “Carbon Taxes” place carbon expenditure ratings on
mundane human activities. Contrary to popular misconceptions, CO2
is by no means a pollutant. As an essential gas for life, plants
thrive on increased levels of CO2 which in turn they produce higher
levels of oxygen. Furthermore, carbon based life forms emit carbon
to the atmosphere, hence a “Carbon Tax” is a tariff for doing
nothing but maintaining life. A popular movement lead by the CFR's
own Al Gore would have you believe CO2 is the root cause of
environmental woes while ignoring real industrial pollution in
developing countries. There are serious environmental problems that
are ignored in favor of issues that can be used to tax the broad
population.
Environmental
protection has already lead countries to willingly surrender control
of natural resources. The US has ceded control of natural resources
to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) in a land grab under the guise of environmental
protection. UNESCO is part of the United Nations, an organization
controlled by many CFR members like permanent US ambassador John
Bolton. The CFR's President Richard N. Haass boldly admits “Some
governments are prepared to give up elements of sovereignty to
address the threat of global climate change.”. He adds that this
“Globalisation thus implies that sovereignty... ...needs to become
weaker.”. While it is important to be conscious of humans' effects
on the earth, nongovernmental organizations like the CFR see an
opportunity to redistribute wealth through selective enforcement
targeting the US. The CFR openly states its intentions of using the
environmental movement and other emotional arguments to build up
global authority and undermine US sovereignty.
The CFR backs other
programs that promote regional governments. Another ambitious goal
of the CFR is the implementation of regional unions under the control
of a central world government. World leaders are moving towards a
regional partnership of North America consisting of Canada, the US,
and Mexico. In 2005, the CFR released a report titled “Building
an American Community” which sought to eliminate borders between
the three North American countries. One part of the plan called for
decreasing government control of cross-border traffic in an effort to
dissolve national borders. Robert Pastor, a vice chairman of the
task force that released “Building a North American Community”,
names the “Amero” as a hypothetical unified North American
currency similar to the Euro. Carried out with precision, the
private, run-for-profit federal reserve bank has massively devalued
the US dollar, allowing foreign corporations to buy up US resources
for literal pennies on the dollar.
The European Union
is a similar model to the North American partnership. The EU was
hugely opposed by Europeans, and took a half century for the
complicit European power elites to fully implement the union.
During his time as Prime Minister, Tony Blair tried several times for
the United Kingdom's adoption of the unpopular EU constitution that
was also staunchly rejected by French and Dutch voters. The current
Prime Minister Gordon Brown continues to advance a similar
constitution under a new name. Like the EU, American countries would
keep their governmental infrastructure but all policy would be
superseded by a regional constitution.
Already in place in
North America is the Security and Prosperity Partnership (spp.gov)
established in a meeting between Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox,
and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin. The SPP consolidates
protection of the North American Union by establishing a security
perimeter extending north of Canada to the Mexican/ Guatemalan
border. This measure was authorized under Bush's ambiguous executive
authority, thus avoiding any congressional input or oversight. It is
a precursor to a trilateral authority between the three North
American economies.
A similar measure
to the SPP in the establishment of a unified North American region is
the NAFTA “Superhighway” which eliminates border restrictions on
shipping, allowing imported goods destined for the US to arrive in
North America at ports in Mexico. Rather than arriving at the port
of Long Beach, imported goods would enter the US via a “port” in
the mid-west that lies along the shipping lane. This measure has
been unanimously opposed by US cities in proximity of the highway,
but the democratic voice is ignored as the government covertly
advances. Congress has largely looked away from the issue. Members
who are aware of this plan avoid this issue and prefer that it stay
secret, and the CFR presidential candidates will not address it. The
presidential candidates' association with the the self-described
“shadow government” compromises the the voting process and
defrauds the constituency.
Barack Obama has
captivated voters from all parties with his refreshing new style of
rhetoric. He has the voting record to back his criticism of the Iraq
war. But like his CFR colleagues, he vows to continue the pursuit of
a shadowy enemy under the vague threat of “terrorism” - a policy
that has cost citizens their personal liberties, trillions in debt
and untold lives. The war on terror has been crafted to spend the
US into bankruptcy and setup a domestic police state. Money
continues to be being printed out of thin air by the private
run-for-profit Federal Reserve, while China remains leveraged with
over $1 trillion in US dollar holdings. In the middle east, the
CFR's blank check for U.S. military operations will deplete U.S.
resources while inciting sectarian strife and anti-U.S. sentiment,
ignoring the history of blowback as documented by the CIA. Obama and
other CFR candidates affiliation with the organization is not
promoted on their websites or in any press releases because the
organization has centralized political power and financial capital to
set policy the public would otherwise oppose. The career
politicians in the CFR know corporate sponsorship is frowned upon by
voters. The Council is one of the major conduits between government
and business leaders in the US. The CFR is guaranteeing power by
owning all the horses in the race that is the 2008 election. Obama
is captivating unlike most of his competition, undoubtedly
intelligent enough to understand his political niche. Another CFR
US president guarantees more of the same costly foreign policy that
protects corporate interests and isolates the US. Like his
colleagues, Barack Obama's stated foreign policy intentions foment
the long term militarization and balkanization of the middle east
while resources will continue to be spent in deficit to finance an
illegal foreign policy. Only when the control of the CFR is fully
exposed will the voters have a real democratic choice.

Bet this guy is eating crow about now. Yes, Obama sure looks like he's going to "change" things alright. Worse than Bush, apparently, since he spent more on his inaugural than any president before him during the worst economic period we have faced since the 30's.
Great guy, this Obama.

Obviously, if they don't want you to know someone is involved with something that is corrupt, or labeled to be corrupt, then they are certainly not going to release their name. You people waste so much space when the answer is simple. Once a politician lies, which is mostly second nature, they can never be fully trusted again. So you tell me any names besides Ron Paul, who has been honest and forthright. Don't worry, I'll wait!!!!

Yes, Pres.-elect Obama is most certainly handled by the C.F.R.-Trilateral Commission-Bilderberg Group puppetmasters. Look at who he surrounds himself with, people who are in these groups rubbing elbows with Dick Cheney, Richard Perle, Doug Feith, Condoleezza Rice, Paul Wolfowitz, Paul Bremer, Henry Kissinger... and this is supposed to bring about "Change We Can Believe In"? I think it's highly likely he'll "listen to the generals on the ground" and start the foot-dragging on the matter of withdrawing from Iraq. He's already said he envisions a residual force remaining in-country for an indefinite period. He's in favor of escalating the war in Afghanistan chasing after ghosts that didn't engineer 9/11, can't be counted upon to push for the Patriot Act and Patriot II to be repealed by Congress and in fact recently voted to grant the N.S.A. more leeway in domestic spying. This is a "change agent"?
At the end of the day Americans will still live in a country whose government can tap their phones without a warrant, read their mail before it gets to them, intercept their e-mail, investigate what library books a person checks out then bar the librarian from telling that person, spies on peaceful protesters, restricts protesters to designated, roped-off "free speech zones" far removed from the person against whom they are demonstrating and a government that can call on a whim anyone it wants to an "enemy combatant", kidnap them in the middle of the night to be whisked away to get tortured every day and live in 110 degree heat in a dog kennel at Guantanamo.

This goes to "Mr.Payne" regarding Ron Paul. Anyone that thinks or says that Ron Paul "sucks" is either paid to say that, doesn't care for the US, is a complete moron, or a combination of all the above. His credentials speak for themselves. He is what every other politician should model themselves after.
The CFR and their agenda is very real. We are losing this country very quickly. The Federal Reserve is where we need to start turning things around. They gotta go and need to be replaced by a bank that doesn't print money out of thin air and then loan it to the american people with interest. If that doesn't clue you in on the fact that there is something very wrong here then keep flapping your lips and with your eyes and ears firmly closed.
And by the way, I'm really not attacking you personally, just some of your comments are a bit off-base. Have a great day.

It is so clear that MONEY runs all the political power in this nation and world - you either play by the RICH boys rules or you don't play at all - meaning you don't get media attention or elected - if the rules for playing this game have not changed, than it really doesn't matter if Obama declairs what his is - CFR member or not - he will play their same game or he will not play - its that simple -
OUR NATION IS JUST ABOUT COMPLETELY FALLEN - AND WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH TIME WE HAVE BEFORE ALL OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS ARE GONE!
It is too bad our people are sleeping as our freedoms are taken away!
WE NEED A REAL AMERICAN REVOLUTION BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE -
Do we have enough people who really know how to fight this battle so we can win back what we have lost?
I don't think so - God is the only one who may just yet preserve this nation, but that may be a stretch by me - HISTORICALLY it looks like we are going to keep falling to a third world country and loose all most all things started by the constitution!
Will OBAMA really do any thing to change our political situation ? YOU KNOW HE CAN NOT DO THIS WITH OUT KEY ANTI - CFR PEOPLE IN PLACE WORKING TOGETHER - AND THAT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE IN THE USA!
WE HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF THE SECOND COMING HAPPENING BEFORE THAT WILL HAPPEN - IN THIS COUNTRY!
I submit that we are going to continue on this path of destruction and no one can stop it - but GOD - and even God may not be able to do that, because of our own wickedness as a people and nation - remember we are sowing what we have reaped!

You out there in the voids of internet space. Heed these words because we are all in some serious doo doo...up to our necks in fact. The C.F.R, Bilderberg group and T.C. are a real and omnipotent force that pretty much can't be stopped. Led by the Rockefeller's, the world business and manufacturing elite, world leader and all the worlds major military powers these guys are unstoppable. The informed should plainly see that it has pretty much been set in stone that no one is going to stop them. Some of us have realized (just as the citizens I'm sure many countless civilizations before us have realized) that there is a time when you have given away to much power to ever get it back. We the people have given away so many freedoms and so much money in the biggest frauds in history, The war on Terror and the Financial Disaster. These are perilous times we live in. I won't be in the least bit surprised when the Amero is issued as the new currency. It will be a necessary effect to stabilize world curriencies from the current recession and to help boost our economy back to health. If you really don't think this can happen, then it will, because you didn't believe it would. The next possible reality that follows are the id tags that posses our credit and personal information as well as being your passport to travel. If you protest or don't go along with it you'll be arrested or your id tag will be turned off, and you will not exist, and you wont be able to go anywhere. These guys have thought of it all and they've been thinking it 100 years before you were born. The plan has been in motion for a long time and if you don't have money or resources, you can't fight it. Do you know why? Because they have ALL THE MONEY and ALL THE RESOURCES!!! This is not a conspiracy, this is reality, and if you don't see it you've done exactly what they wanted. You've become another mindless sheep.

Very good,
I happy to meet so many of you who appear on the surface to be fully engaged and aware of what's at stake if "We The People" don't take action.
The CFR's original mission was to control the flow of information via the press. The mainstream news media has not been completely honest, nor have they been completely objective.
The biggest difference between those who are CFR members and those who are not is; CFR members are, for the most part, very wealthy, very focused, very powerful and organized. They know what they want and aren't afraid or unwilling to advance their agenda.
So, for those of you who don't agree with the agenda of the CFR, myself included, the real question seems obvious, What are we going to do about it? Does someone hold a gun to our head and force us to watch CNN, FOX, NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, etc..? Are we forced to take vacations to Disneyland or Disneyworld? Is GE the only company that makes the products we buy? If the CFR friendly, Commission on Presidential Debates doesn't want to include non-CFR friendly candidates, are we forced to watch their debate?
Political institutions and organizations have their greatest power and effect at the local level. What are we doing locally to reform the media? Good, ethical citizens cannot win local elections without the aid of an unbiased and objective local media.
Only time will tell if President Barack Obama chooses to protect and defend our American Constitution as he has sworn to do. With God by his side, I can only hope he chooses to carry out the government and media reforms that need to be done.

I see this thread was started back in July of 2008, or the comments started then... IF you had looked at the CFR site before Obama announced is candidacy and just shortly after you would've seen a MEMBER page, however once word started getting around about him being a member and what they do they made that page (and others) for the "Campaign 2008". I know I saw it with my own eyes and only wish I'd taken a screenshot of it then.
Here's some quotes for you guys:
"... the real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, State and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of self-created screen. It seizes in its long and powerful tentacles our executive officers, our legislative bodies, our schools, our courts, our newspapers and every agency created for the public protection."
John Hylan, 1922, New York City Mayor
"Obviously there is going to be no peace or prosperity for mankind as long as [the earth] remains divided into 50 or 60 independent states until some kind of international system is created... The real problem today is that of the world government."
Philip Kerr - Author of CFR's magazine "Foreign Affairs", December 15, 1922, article published in magazine.
"We are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world. All the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands...."
Arnold Toyee, 1932, In a speech to the Institute for the Study of International Affairs at Copenhagen
"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson."
President Franklin Roosevelt (In a letter to an associate dated November 21, 1933)
[I propose that] America lead the transition to a new order of less independent, semi-sovereign states bound together by a league or federal union.
CFR member John Foster Dulles, later U.S. Secretary of State, October 28, 1939
"The term Internationalism has been popularized in recent years to cover an interlocking financial, political, and economic world force for the purpose of establishing a World Government. Today Internationalism is heralded from pulpit and platform as a 'League of Nations' or a 'Federated Union' to which the United States must surrender a definite part of its National Sovereignty. The World Government plan is being advocated under such alluring names as the 'New International Order,' 'The New World Order,' 'World Union Now,' 'World Commonwealth of Nations,' 'World Community,' etc. All the terms have the same objective; however, the line of approach may be religious or political according to the taste or training of the individual."
Excerpt from A Memorial to be Addressed to the House of Bishops and the House of Clerical and Lay Deputies of the Protestant Episcopal Church in General Convention (October 1940)
"He [John Foster Dulles] stated directly to me that he had every reason to believe that the Governor [Thomas E. Dewey of New York] accepts his point of view and that he is personally convinced that this is the policy that he would promote with great vigor if elected. So it is fair to say that on the first round the Sphinx of Albany has established himself as a prima facie champion of a strong and definite new world order."
Excerpt from article by Ralph W. Page in The Philadelphia Bulletin (May 1944)
"It will be just as easy for nations to get along in a republic of the world as it is for us to get along in a republic of the United States."
President Truman in a speech, June 28, 1945 (not a CFR member but surrounded and advised by CFR members)
1947 -- The American Education Fellowship, formerly the Progressive Education Association, organized by John Dewey, calls for the:
"... establishment of a genuine world order, an order in which national sovereignty is subordinate to world authority... "
(Rothschild/Rockefeller funded: Previous to 1921, the League for Industrial Democracy was named the Intercollegiate Socialist Society, it's goals to advance the ideas of Marxism and was organized by Upton Sinclair, Jack London, Clarence Darrow, John Dewey and others. It's permanent headquarters was at the Rand School of Social Science in 1908, and whose 1935 president was John Dewey.)
"We shall have world government whether or not you like it… by conquest or consent."
James Warburg (son of CFR founder Paul Warburg, and a member of FDR's "brain trust") testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 17, 1950.
"Treaty laws can override the Constitution. Treaties can take power away from Congress and give them to the President. They can take powers from the States and give them to the Federal Government or to some international body and they can cut across the rights given to the people by their constitutional Bill of Rights."
April 12, 1952 -- John Foster Dulles, CFR member, later to become Secretary of State (in a speech to the American Bar Association in Louisville, Kentucky)
[note: A Senate amendment, proposed by GOP Senator John Bricker, would have provided that no treaty could supersede the Constitution, but it fails to pass by one vote.]
[The CFR] "came to be, in essence, an agency of the United States government. . . There can be no doubt that much of the thinking in the State Department and much of the background of direction of its policies come from the personnel of. . . The Council on Foreign Relations."
Tax Exempt Foundations, Report, 83rd Congress, 2nd Session, 1954
"…Outwardly we have a Constitutional government. We have operating within our government and political system, another body representing another form of government, a bureaucratic elite which believes our Constitution is outmoded… and is sure that it is the winning side.... All the strange developments in the foreign policy agreements may be traced to this group who are going to make us over to suit their pleasure.... This political action group has its own local political support organizations, its own pressure groups, its own vested interests, its foothold within our government, and its own propaganda apparatus."
Senator William Jenner warning in a speech on February 23, 1954
"The most powerful clique in these (CFR) groups have one objective in common: they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty and the national independence of the U.S. They want to end national boundaries and racial and ethnic loyalties supposedly to increase business and ensure world peace. What they strive for would inevitably lead to dictatorship and loss of freedoms by the people. The CFR was founded for "the purpose of promoting disarmament and submergence of U.S. sovereignty and national independence into an all-powerful one-world government."
Harpers, July l958
1959 -- The Mid-Century Challenge to U.S. Foreign Policy is published, sponsored by the Rockefeller Brothers' Fund. It explains that the U.S.: "... cannot escape, and indeed should welcome... the task which history has imposed on us. This is the task of helping to shape a new world order in all its dimensions -- spiritual, economic, political, social."
September 9, 1960 -- President Eisenhower signs Senate Joint Resolution 170, promoting the concept of a federal Atlantic Union. Pollster and Atlantic Union Committee treasurer, Elmo Roper, later delivers an address titled, The Goal Is Government of All the World, in which he states: "For it becomes clear that the first step toward World Government cannot be completed until we have advanced on the four fronts: the economic, the military, the political and the social."
"The directors of the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) make up a sort of Presidium for that part of the Establishment that guides our destiny as a nation."
The Christian Science Monitor, September 1, l961
"... if the communist dynamic was greatly abated, the West might lose whatever incentive it has for world government."
Lincoln Bloomfield, 1962, CFR member, In a study titled, A World Effectively Controlled by the United Nations
"The ultimate aim of the CFR is to create a one-world socialist system, and to make the U.S. an official part of it."
Dan Smoot, 1962, "The Invisible Government" (former member of the FBI Headquarters staff in Washington, D.C.)
"The case for government by elites is irrefutable... government by the people is possible but highly improbable."
J. William Fulbright, 1963, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, speech at a symposium sponsored by the Fund for the Republic, a project of the Ford Foundation
"The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes."
Felix Frankfurter (Justice of the Supreme Court from1939 to1962)
"While monopoly control of industries was once the objective of J.P. Morgan and J.D. Rockefeller, by the late nineteenth century the inner sanctums of Wall Street understood the most efficient way to gain an unchallenged monopoly was to 'go political' and make society go to work for the monopolists-- under the name of the public good and the public interest."
Antony Sutton (research fellow for the Hoover Institution for War, Revolution, and Peace at Stanford University - 1917 to 1965)
"The Council on Foreign Relations 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 announces and uses individuals and groups to bring pressure from below, to justify the high level decisions for converting the U.S. from a sovereign Constitutional Republic into a servile member state of a one-world dictatorship."
Former Congressman John Rarick 1971
"Founding members included Colonel House, and"... "such potentates of international banking as J.P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Paul Warburg, Otto Kahn, and Jacob Schiff...the same clique which had engineered the establishment of the Federal Reserve System,"
Gary Allen - October 1972 issue of "AMERICAN OPINION."
"The New World Order will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down...but in the end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal assault."
Richard Gardner, CFR member writing in the April l974 issue of the CFR's journal, Foreign Affairs.
"The CFR is the American Branch of a society which originated in England, and which believes that national boundaries should be obliterated, and a one-world rule established."… "a front group for J.P. Morgan and Company in association with the very small American Round Table Group."
Carroll Quigley (Bill Clinton's mentor, Professor of History at Georgetown University, member of the CFR) - "Tragedy & Hope" (1975)
1975 -- In Congress, 32 Senators and 92 Representatives sign A Declaration of Interdependence, written by historian Henry Steele Commager. The Declaration states that:
"we must join with others to bring forth a new world order... Narrow notions of national sovereignty must not be permitted to curtail that obligation." Congresswoman Marjorie Holt refuses to sign the Declaration saying:
"It calls for the surrender of our national sovereignty to international organizations. It declares that our economy should be regulated by international authorities. It proposes that we enter a 'new world order' that would redistribute the wealth created by the American people."
[the goal of the CFR is the] "submergence of U. S. sovereignty and national independence into an all powerful one-world government... "
"The most powerful clique in these elitist groups have one objective in common - they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty of the national independence of the United States. A second clique of international members in the CFR comprises the Wall Street international bankers and their key agents. Primarily, they want the world banking monopoly from whatever power ends up in the control of global government."
"Once the ruling members of the CFR have decided that the U.S. government should espouse a particular policy, the very substantial research facilities of the CFR are put to work to develop arguments, intellectual and emotional, to support the new policy and to confound, discredit, intellectually and politically, any opposition... "
Rear Admiral Chester Ward, 1975 (former Judge Advocate General of the U.S. Navy and former 16 year member of the CFR)
"They (CFR) are behind the many regional government plans, which would abolish city, county, and state lines, leaving us at the mercy of federal bureaucrats; and behind the push for "land use" controls. They want "federal control of everything. Since they intend to control the federal government..."
Gary Allen - "The Rockefeller File" (1976)
"The planning of UN can be traced to the 'secret steering committee' established by Secretary [of State, Cordell] Hull in January 1943. All of the members of this secret committee, with the exception of Hull, a Tennessee politician, were members of the Council on Foreign Relations. They saw Hull regularly to plan, select, and guide the labors of the [State] Department's Advisory Committee. It was, in effect, the coordinating agency for all the State Department's postwar planning."
Professors Laurence H. Shoup and William Minter, writing in their study of the CFR, "Imperial Brain Trust: The CFR and United States Foreign Policy." (Monthly Review Press, 1977).
1977 -- The Third Try at World Order is published. Author Harlan Cleveland of the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies calls for:
"changing Americans' attitudes and institutions" for "complete disarmament (except for international soldiers)" and "for individual entitlement to food, health and education."
1977 -- Imperial Brain Trust by Laurence Shoup and William Minter is published. The book takes a critical look at the Council on Foreign Relations with chapters such as:
Shaping a New World Order: The Council's Blueprint for Global Hegemony, 1939-1944 and Toward the 1980's: The Council's Plans for a New World Order.
"Both major political parties are controlled at the top by an international network, represented in the United States by The Council on Foreign Relations."… "ingenious techniques used to deceive the public and create the widespread myth that there is truly a difference in the two parties at the top."… "private organizations based in New York City which formulate and implement U.S. foreign and domestic policy without public knowledge."… "Both parties are infiltrated by Rockefeller people. Some pose as 'conservative' patriots and others wear the 'liberal' label. Every four years, voters are privileged to choose between a CFR Democratic and a CFR Republican, or candidates surrounded by CFR 'advisors.' Voters never realize that they are given no real choice."… "Keep CFR/TC membership lists handy when watching TV and when reading your local newspaper. Note that many of the leading news readers and columnists are CFR members."
Johnny Stewart - F.R.E.E. (Fund to Restore an Educated Electorate) 1979-1980
"In my view The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power -- political, monetary, intellectual, and ecclesiastical. All this is to be done in the interest of creating a more peaceful, more productive world community. What the Trilateralists truly intend is the creation of a worldwide economic power superior to the political governments of the nation-states involved. They believe the abundant materialism they propose to create will overwhelm existing differences. As managers and creators of the system they will rule the future."
"Does it not seem strange to you that these men just happened to be CFR and just happened to be on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, that absolutely controls the money and interest rates of this great country without benefit of Congress? A privately owned organization, the Federal Reserve, which has absolutely nothing to do with the United States of America!"
Barry Goldwater - "With No Apologies" (1979)
"Colonel House, along with other internationalists, realized that America would not join any scheme for world government without a change in public opinion."… "After a series of meetings, it was decided that an "Institute of International Affairs", with two branches, in the United States and England, would be formed."
Pat Robertson - "The New World Order" (1991)
"Like the Stasi, KGB, and Gestapo, the IRS has secret files on those who criticize the government-not the tax rebels, but those who exercise First Amendment rights. These secret files are neatly cataloged by the Special Services Section of IRS working in the basement of the IRS building in Washington. A dozen agents maintain 11,000 personal files. These files catalog anyone who has publicly criticized the government, not just tax rebels, but ANYONE who has expressed dismay at Washington corruption...
The Special Services Section catalogs those who openly refuse to protect corruption and un-constitutional actions. It is the kind of file kept by all secret police agencies, heavy on newspaper clippings and gossip. The Gestapo and the KGB had similar files."
Dr. Antony Sutton (publisher of The Phoenix Letter, a newsletter devoted to exposing the New World Order conspiracy and corruption in the federal government) Shortly after that publication the IRS bullied and intimidated Dr. Sutton who was 85 years old.
"To a certain extent, we are going too have to yield some of our sovereignty, which will be controversial at home, under NAFTA some Americans are going to be hurt as low wage jobs are taken away".
Winston Lord, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and a former Secretary-of-State
"With NAFTA America finally creates a New World Order. NAFTA will represent the most creative step taken by any group of countries since the end of the cold war. The revolution sweeping the western hemisphere points to an international order based upon co-operation.
It is this revolution that is at stake in the ratification of NAFTA. What Congress will have before it, is not a conventional trade agreement, but the architecture of a new international system. It would be a disaster, if U.S. actions encouraged the re- emergence of nationalistic candidature. The trade agreement with Mexico, is the vital first step toward a new kind of community of nations, a first step toward the New World Order so frequently cited, but so rarely implemented. It would be short sighted to ignore the regional groupings emerging in both Europe and Asia."
Henry Kissinger, July 1993, Los Angeles Times
[The above statement by Henry Kissinger came just as the American Congress was debating the NAFTA legislation and it looked as though it may not be passed. Kissinger was just passing on an official word of warning. He even points out that it is not a conventional trade agreement, but the architecture of a new international system. It is creating what the insiders call "a level playing field". But is it? Mexico has very low wages, and American jobs will be exported south to Mexico. These American workers with low skills, are not able to be retrained, and will be jobless, a burden on the system.]
"To be perfectly blunt, you could find yourself in trouble dealing with this subject."
Georgetown University Professor Carroll Quigley explained in an interview that his career as a lecturer in the government institution circuit was all but ruined because of the twenty or so pages he had written about the existence of Round Table Groups.
The story of the British connection to the Council on Foreign Relations may be traced back to George Peabody, J.P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, Nicholas M. Butler and Col. Edward House -- all who may be described a British loyalists. A Secret Society was established by Cecil Rhodes in connection with Rothschild, Morgan, Carnegie, and Rockefeller. A small highly secret group called the Round Table directed operations.
"The sovereignty fetish is still so strong in the public mind, that there would appear to be little chance of winning popular assent to American membership in anything approaching a super-state organization. Much will depend on the kind of approach which is used in further popular education."
Council on Foreign Relations Report (1944)
"Let us face reality. The framers [of the Constitution] have simply been too shrewd for us. They have outwitted us. They designed separate institutions that cannot be unified by mechanical linkages, frail bridges, [or] tinkering. If we are to turn the founders upside down… we must directly confront the Constitutional structure they erected."
James MacGregor Burns, Council on Foreign Relations member, 1984
"I don't think there's any institution in America that does more for shaping our country in the direction our country takes in the world with people who are out of office and helping people who are in office than this Council on Foreign Relations."
Wesley "Wes" Kanne Clark (2003)
"I was hopefully one of the members of the [CFR] board which helped bring this organization (the CFR) forward in spite of Pete, and I hoped it would stay together when you all went back to different occupations, and I’m pleased to see that it still is an impressive and important institution in this country, as it’s been since the early days of David Rockefeller, and a number of his predecessors, which really, in many respects, formulated the foreign policy of this country.
Alan Greenspan, chairman, Federal Reserve Board (3/2005 speech at/to the CFR)
The New York Times FLORA LEWIS Published: December 13, 1989
LEAD: Scores of almost identical letters are pouring in from all over the U.S. attacking the Council on Foreign Relations and urging me to resign from it. Apparently the attacks aren't new. Last year [1988] George Bush [Sr.], then a Presidential candidate, did resign from the Council, presumably in response to this right-wing pressure. "I joined the Council on Foreign Relations some 20 years ago..."
The Trilateral Commission is less secretive than Bilderberg, with which it has interlocking leadership and a common agenda. David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger are powers in both groups. Trilaterals huddle behind closed and guarded doors but the fact of their meetings is acknowledged. In the 1980 primaries, Ronald Reagan scoffed at the Trilateral Commission. His campaign operative, former Texas governor and treasury secretary John Connally, said Reagan would block Trilaterals from his administration. After his nomination, Reagan took Trilateral Bush on the ticket. As vice president, Bush the Elder addressed the Trilaterals in Washington and they were received at the White House. In 1992, Bush lost to Bill Clinton, ... governor of Arkansas. Clinton was a Trilateralist who had been promoted to Bilderberg when it met in Baden Baden, Germany in 1991.
"Some even believe we (Rockefeller family) are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure---one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it." David Rockefeller, “Memoirs”, 2002
"We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."
- David Rockefeller to Trilateral Commission in 1991
"In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all."
Strobe Talbot, President Clinton's Deputy Secretary of State, Time Magazine, July 20th, l992
"We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans."
Bill Clinton, USA Today on 3/11/93, page 2a
"Gun registration is not enough. Waiting periods are only a step. Registration is only a step. The prohibition of private firearms is the goal."
Attorney General Janet Reno, Associated Press on 12/10/93
"What I'm trying to do is to promote a process of reorganization of the world ..."
Bill Clinton, interview with Argentine reporters, October 17, 1997.
"There are a lot of very brilliant people who believe that the nation-state is fast becoming a relic of the past,"
Bill Clinton, New York Times, November 25, 1997
"Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government."
Henry Kissinger, Bilderberger Conference in Evians, France, 1991
This isn't even all of them! And by people in a position to know! So, before someone advises me to do my research I suggest they take their own advice... It's all one great big web of deceit and all connected... Genocide, education, brain control experiments, economy, politics, banking, taxes, etc, etc, and so on.
