a brief intro to the CFR, focusing on its founding, and its control of corporate media...


dick cheney commenting on his membership as former director of the CFR. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbnpN07J_zg)

interestingly admits he was director, and then goes on to say that he hid it from the public eye during his congressional career. nwo why would he do that?

carroll quigley was a georgetown professor of history from 1941-1976. He was also a consultant for the department of defense, US Navy, the Smithsonian Institute, and NASA...what he was doing there, at any of those departments is unknown to me, but for two years (in the 1960's) Quigley was given access to the CFR archives, something that was never granted to any individual or institution prior or since.

He wrote a 1300 page book called Tragedy and Hope which detailed the rise of a small group of elite (primarily made of the first international banking families starting the the 1700's) and their advance in the scene of global politics.

the founders of these institutions, entrepeneurial banking families of the rothschilds, rockerfellers and JP morgan to name a few, figured "that it was possible for bankers to get rich by loaning money to governments, extending the loans encouraging government to become dependent on them, attaching provisions to the extensions calling for specific policies, and then tallying up the interest. Other such bloodlines would soon follow (the Rockefellers and Morgans here in the US)." (link (http://www.lewrockwell.com/yates/yates14.html))

He goes on to describe a small inner group of these powerful individuals, setting up several individual organizations which are then used to influence the political landscape and work towards a one world, global, government schematic. And of course, as is the case today in the united states with the federal reserve, atop this landscape is the private banking institutions profitting, funding and owning the countries and their metamorphosis into one world global government. Interestingly, he also states:

"I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies (notably to its belief that England was an Atlantic rather than a European Power and must be allied, or even federated, with the United States and must remain isolated from Europe), but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known. (p. 950}"


Here are a few more quotes from Carroll Quigley, from his book Tragedy and Hope:


"The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is the American Branch of a society which originated in England ... (and) ... believes national boundaries should be obliterated and one-world rule established."



"... the powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences."



"In addition to their power over government based on government financing and personal influence, bankers could steer governments in ways they wished them to go
by other pressures."


"Another paradox of banking practice arose from the fact that bankers, who loved deflation, often acted in an inflationary fashion from their eagerness to lend money at interest."


"There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an institutional Anglophile network which opperates, to some extent, in the way the radical Right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups, and frequently does so. I know of the opperations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years in the early 1960s to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies ... but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known."



"It is this power structure which the Radical Right in the United States has been attacking for years in the belief that they are attacking the Communists."


"On this basis, which was originally financial and goes back to George Peabody, there grew up in the twentieth century a power structure between London and New York which penetrated deeply into university life, the press, and the practice of foreign policy."



"It is also true that this group, from its control of funds, academic recommendations, and research or publication opportunities, could favor persons who accepted the established consensus and could injure, financially or in professional advancement, persons who did not accept it. It is also true that the established group, by its influence on book reviewing in The New York Times, the Herald Tribune, the Saturday Review, a few magazines, including the liberal weeklies, and in the professional journals, could advance or hamper any specialist's career. It is also true that these things were done in the United States in regard to the Far East by the Institute of Pacific Relations, that this organization had been infiltrated by Communists, and by Communist sympathizers, and that much of this group's influence arose from its access to and control over the flow of funds from foundations to scholarly activities."



"In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups, and frequently does so."



"More important than the Milner Group's ability to influence opinion in the Dominions was its ability to influence decisions in London."



"The history of the last century shows, as we shall see later, that the advice given to governments by bankers, like the advice they gave to industrialists, was consistently good for bankers, but was often disastrous for governments, businessmen, and the people generally."



"The bankers made loans to business so that the volume of money increased faster than the increase in goods. The result was inflation."



"The powers of financial capitalism had (a) far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."



"The failure of Christianity in the areas west from Sicily was even greater, and was increased by the spread of Arab outlooks and influence to that area, and especially to Spain."



"Once again the mastermind was Lionel Curtis, and the earlier Round Table Groups and Institutes of International Affairs were used as nuclei for the new network."

not that one has to really dig for it, though many are blindly encased by the labrynth of bullshit built from it.

just as a friendly reminder, (this shit ain't new) not that they are solely in re to the cfr but certainly pertain, check out:

the city of the empire by amenstop productions:
above and beyond but may presume just a little too much at the end -
isn't that a david icke, but good stuff if you're brain can consider 'it all' and handle it.

zeitgeist:
though stripped back to get to the raw facts, don't dismiss the profound essence of it all ie religion, spirit, meaning etc

freedom to fascism:
right on

endgame:
can't believe after all that, though i agree it's been exploited, he dispells global warming altogether

terror storm.. etc etc etc

again, one can literaly bet their 'life savings' on the watermarked content.

here's some more on bohemian grove and cfr - hell they even made a cartoon out of bohemian grove. how sick is that.

ps. there's a brief post on the first page of the ring of power thread re cfr. also, www.freedom-fight.net also offers a little somethin' for everyone.

for the lazy ones.

These days it seems like everyone's always trying to be famous, so it's interesting how hard the most powerful people in the world have worked to keep their power a secret. Of course they have a damn good reason: if everyone knew who they were and what they were doing, they would be torn down immediately. Fortunately for them, they have mastered social control by dominating our media and educational systems, so keeping people in the dark has hardly been challenging. Based on my research, they have infiltrated every section of society: economic, social, political, and criminal.

Economic:
The fed reserve is their own private bank, allowing them to run our economy by controlling currency and interest rates. Also, by illegally creating the federal income tax, the IRS, they have been stealing our money for almost 100 years.

Social:
through ownership as well as the sheer power of money, they control the media and dept. of education, allowing them to dicate public opinion and manipulate the fuck out of us (eg, war on terror= total hoax to go steal oil and curtail individual rights)

Political:
They essentially choose who will be the lead contenders, cabinet appointeees, etc... Anyone who's payed any attention whatsoever to our "democracy" knows that it's no longer representative of the people. This is why.

Criminal:
The bankers have long worked closely with the mafia and other criminal elements of society. All that heroin and weed and coke pouring into our country is no accident- the powers that be are making a huge profit off of it while at the same time keeping us in a confused daze.

Why isn't the CFR in the History Books?

Hardly one person in 1000 ever heard of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).

The Council on Foreign Relations was formally established in Paris in 1919 along with its British Counterpart the Royal Institute of International Affairs. The Council on Foreign Relations and Royal Institute of International Affairs can trace their roots back to a secret organization founded and funded by Cecil Rhodes, who became fabulously wealthy by exploiting the people of South Africa. Rhodes is the father of Apartheid.

The Council on Foreign Relations was founded by a group of American and British imperialists and racists intent on ruling the world. Many of the American members were American intelligence officers that belonged to the first American Intelligence Agency -- THE INQUIRY. Many of the British members were British Intelligence Agents. THE INQUIRY and its members, who included such notable Americans as Col. Edward Mandel House, Walter Lippmann, Isaiah Bowman, and James Shotwell, wrote most of Woodrow Wilson's 14 points.

The CFR/RIIA method of operation is simple -- they control public opinion. They keep the identity of their group secret. They learn the likes and dislikes of influential people. They surround and manipulate them into acting in the best interest of the CFR/RIIA.

The Council on Foreign Relations, and the Royal Institute of International Affairs are adept at using the media to create massive psycho-political operations used to manipulate public opinion. The psycho-political operations are often designed to create tensions between different groups of people. The object is to keep the world in a state of perpetual tension and warfare to maximize profits from CFR/RIIA munition, medicine, media, energy, and food businesses.

The CFR has only 3000 members yet they control over three-quarters of the nations wealth. The CFR runs the State Department and the CIA. The CFR has placed 100 CFR members in every Presidential Administration since Woodrow Wilson. They work together to misinform and disinform the President to act in the best interest of the CFR not the best interest of the American People. At least five Presidents (Eisenhower, Ford, Carter, Bush, and Clinton) have been members of the CFR. The CFR has packed every Supreme court with CFR insiders. Three CFR members (Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and Sandra Day O'Connor) sit on the supreme court. The CFR's British Counterpart is the Royal Institute of International Affairs. The members of these groups profit by creating tension and hate. Their targets include British and American citizens.

The 100 CFR members that surround the president are "the Secret Team." The "Secret Team" help carry out psycho-political operations scripted by CFR members in the state department and the Intelligence Organizations. The psycho-political operations are coordinated by a group of Council on Foreign Relations members called the Special Group. The Special Group evolved from the Psychological Strategy Board.

President Truman issued an executive order establishing the Psychological Strategy Board. The Board was run by CFR members Gordon Gray and Henry Kissinger. The PSB has close ties to the State Department and Intelligence Organizations. The purpose of the PSB was to co-ordinate psycho-political operations. Many of those operations were focused at Americans. The people became wary of the Psychological Strategy Board. Eisenhower issued an executive order changing its name to the Operations Coordination Board. The OCB was a bigger more powerful PSB. Gray and Kissinger ran the OCB too. President Kennedy abolished the OCB. It became an ad hoc committee called the "Special Group," which exists today. The PSB/OCB/Special Group always has CFR members running and sitting on it. Since the Special Group was not formed by Executive Order it cannot be abolished.


If you want to learn about the CFR, I recommend these two books:

1. How the world REALLY works, by Alan Jones
2. Shadows of Power, by James Perloff

The only presidential candidates not on the CFR are Paul, Kucinich, and Gravel.

thanks eric...was working on putting something like that together, you pretty much summed it up.

to those who do not recognize the sickness and disease conquering this country- WAKE THE FUCK UP!

i wonder how we move beyond this, how we overcome this. the only answer i can think of is to empower ourselves. to enrich our minds with truth. to surround ourselves with good freedom loving people. to work together to become sustainable and efficient- to not rely on any aspect of society or politics in regards to our own freedom.

the answer is not to flee to the wilderness....yet. it is to mobilize, spread the truth, ignite that spark which can spread like wildfire as more and more people die in the middle east, as more and more of our freedoms are quietly taken away, as we become less and less healthy, and poorer, and weaker.

anger is not always a bad thing for it can be put to good. we need to be angry, and we need to work for truth and justice, and peace. we are capable of so much.



just wanted to throw that in because sometimes, it feels so hopeless.
