Criticism of the Council on Foreign Relations
The Council has been praised by media and political luminaries such as Brian
Williams, Fareed Zakaria, Senator Chuck Hagel and the actress Angelina Jolie
(whose qualifications as a credible source on international policy were obviously
so well-established that the Council solicited her membership in 2007) who have
gone on record as stating that the Council is an
“indispensable resource in an
increasingly complex world.”
Which is much of what you’d expect from paid
Council members; which, in fact, all four are. When former Secretary of State
(and both Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg participant, long-running Council
chairman and alleged high-ranking Illuminati member) Henry Kissinger was
recently asked to comment about the 2008 CFR-sponsored Global Governance
Program (which calls for a reconceptualization of national sovereignty, citing the
EU’s consolidation of sovereignty as a guiding model; is the previous chapter
still in the back of your mind yet?), he commented: “
it will give new impetus to
American foreign policy... I think the task will be to develop an overall strategy
for America in this period when, really, a new world order can be created. It’s a
great opportunity...
”
Not surprisingly, the name of David Rockefeller rears his head again as
Council Chairman and major funder)—this time, in a 1991 speech when he
stated: “
We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times and other
great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected the
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 world is now 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.
”
Even earlier in 1974, in an issue of the Council’s publication
Foreign Affairs
,
Council member was even less selective in describing overall Council goals
implicitly, stating: “
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.
”
And perhaps most damningly was the outburst from Council member James
Warburg, son of Council co-founder and Federal Reserve architect Paul
Warburg, when stating before the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
on February 17, 1950: “
We shall have world government, whether you like it or
not. The only question is whether world government will be by conquest or
consent.
”
So much for impartial, independent and bipartisan analysis. But what of
criticism from independent sources?
Judge Advocate General of the U.S. Navy and former Council on Foreign
Relations member for over 16 years, Chester Ward, explains his disavowal for
the Council, citing its existence as a “shadow government” thusly: “
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 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 shadow
government have decided that the U.S. 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 main
purpose of the Council on Foreign Relations is promoting the disarmament of
U.S. sovereignty and national independence and submergence into an all
powerful one world government.
”
Another former Council member (and mentor to current Council member and
former President Bill Clinton) was Georgetown University professor, political
theorist and noted historian Carroll Quigley, who stated the matter more
succinctly in his 1966 book
Tragedy and Hope
: “
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.
”
Even earlier in 1962, former FBI agent Dan Smoot specifically referred to the
Council by the title of his book
The Invisible Government
, citing that: “
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.
