"The most powerful clique in these elitist groups have one objective in common — they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereingty 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."


snip

In one of the CFR’s annual reports, published in 1978, it listed a membership of 1878 members. Eleven of its members at this time were United States Senators, with even more Congressmen belonging to the organization. 284 of its members listed in this report were United States Government officials. And the Chairman of the Board of this immensely powerful pyramid was stated as being none other than David Rockefeller himself.

The CFR not only has its members in the United States Government, but its influence has also spread to other vital areas of American life. According to Newell: "Its members have run, or are running, NBC and CBS, ‘The New York Times’, ‘The Washington Post’, ‘The Des Moines Register’, and many other important newspapers. The leaders of ‘Time’, ‘Newsweek’, ‘Fortune’, ‘Business Week’, and numerous other publications are CFR members. The organization’s members also dominate the academic world, top corporations, the huge tax-exempt foundations, labor unions, the military, and just about every segment of American life."

The common everyday American citizen does not need to be told that there is a controlled government running the United States. But when we understand exactly what the Council on Foreign Relations and The Trilateral Commission are, and how its members hold key positions in the Government, it becomes all the more clear.

Another not so popular topic, but these groups do exist, with stress on international financing... there was the beginnings of a discussion on Conservatism. Someone had stated that to some degree Conservatism placed more stress on isolationism... I am not advocating any theory... but something is bothering me regarding this interwoven kind of complicity between the democratic and republican parties

1- how dedicated are either to this elitist one world government are they (this might be too broad a question) and
2- would conservatism have a chance to breakway from the kind of restraints on democracy that this article (which I am not vouching for btw) alludes too, and/or
3- does it even matter?

again this may not be the best commentary on the CFR either, but it seems I am obsessed with these elitist groups more and more...so I am just looking into the matter... in a voyeuristic kind of way... I am not conspiratorializing nor am I advocating... but something is way off here... and I do not hear enough outrage in the political rhetoric... which disturbs me because I keep going back and forth on it... On the one hand, things seem the same as they always were, in that I rarely encounter anyone anymore that even questions anything... Then on the other hand... is marshall law right around the corner?
