Council on Foreign Relations

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, George H. W. Bush, John, David & Nelson Rockefeller, Condolezza Rice, Paul Wolfowitz, Alan Greenspan, Colin Powell, Henry Kissinger, Angelina Jolie (Yes, the actress has a five year term membership as an ambassador)  George Clooney (member since 2010)
 
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 aisle:
 
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.

Comments:

There are dozens of organizations dedicated to sending our borrowed and printed tax dollars overseas and assuming responsibility for other countries.  Certainly the U.N. is the most pernicious of these, but the CFR kool-aid is “high end”.  Liberals give you honors and awards for doing stupid things.  One does not “join” these groups, members are “named” to the CFR. It’s the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame for globalist politicians. Government is running out of our money and it’s time to eliminate funding for these relics.

We need to debate these clowns.  It would be a slaughter.  A nice debate about spending cuts would seem in order.
