"The Council on
Foreign Relations took control of the
ideological
foundations of empire encompassing the
corporate,
banking,
political,
foreign policy,
military,
media, and
academic elite of the nation
into a generally cohesive overall
world view.
The divide among
aristocracy was never a question of:
Should we use
American imperial power?
Why has America become an
Empire?
Should there even be
an Empire?
The CFR effectively undertook a policy coup d'état
over American foreign policy
at the outbreak World War II.
When war broke out, the Council began a
"strictly confidential" project called the War and Peace Studies, in
which top CFR members, financed by the Rockefeller
Foundation, collaborated with the
State Department in
determining US policy.
The Rockefeller Foundation, pivotal in
funding the eugenics
movement in the US, played a pivotal part in bringing the eugenics ideology
to Nazi Germany by facilitating the beliefs that brought about the
Holocaust.
The policy of "containment" towards the
Soviet Union that would define
American foreign policy for nearly
half a century was visualized in a 1947
edition of Foreign Affairs,
the academic journal of the Council on Foreign Relations.
So too were the ideological foundations for the Marshall Plan and NATO visualized at the Council on Foreign
Relations, with members of the Council recruited to enact, implement and
lead these institutions.
The Council also played a role in the
establishment and promotion of the United Nations, which was subsequently built
on land bought from John D. Rockefeller,
Jr." - Andrew Gavin Marshall
1921 Council on Foreign Relations founded as
US counterpart to Royal Institute for International Affairs.
Paul Warburg and
John D. Rockefeller are
among initial funders.
John W. Davis, attorney to
JP Morgan, is first
president.
1922 Council on Foreign
Relations begins publishing Foreign Affairs.
1939 Marshall Plan
originates in the 'War and Peace Study Groups' instituted by the
Council on Foreign Relations.
On December 6, 1939 the Rockefeller
Foundation granted the Council $50,000 to finance the first year of the
project.
March 11, 1941
The lend-lease program, formally
titled "An Act to Promote the
Defense of the United States", supplies Free France, the United
Kingdom, the Republic of China, and later the Soviet Union and other Allied
nations with food, oil, warships and warplanes, along with other weaponry
totaling $31.4 billion all together with an $11.3 billion cutout for the
Soviets.
1944 Foreign
Affairs publishes an article entitled "Korea in the Postwar World"
suggesting turning Korea, occupied by Japan, into a protectorate.
It
suggests the Soviets occupy North Korea; the US occupy
South Korea.
Stalin supplies Kim Il-sung in
North Korea, building a
150,000-man army with hundreds of tanks, hundreds of warplanes, and heavy
artillery largely using lend-lease
equipment given to the Soviets by the Americans.
The Americans
abandon South Korea leaving only a
constabulary force of 16,000 South Koreans with small arms – not a single
tank or anti-tank gun.
CFR prepares a memorandum for the State
Department: "A possible
difficulty arises from the Constitutional provision that only Congress may
declare war. This argument is countered
with the contention that a treaty would override this barrier, let alone the
fact that our participation in such a police action as might be recommended by
the international security organization need not
necessarily be construed as war."
1947 Secretary of State
George Marshall presents
the Marshall Plan in a speech on June 5 outlined proposals of the CFR
study group headed by the lawyer Charles M. Spofford and
David Rockefeller, labeled
'Reconstruction in Western Europe'.
A specific proposal for unifying the
Upper Silesian Coal basin
as a bulwark against the USSR is made by John Foster Dulles.
William
Clayton, Under-Secretary for Economic Affairs, plays a key role in preparing
the plan and personally profits after pushing it through
Congress.
Anderson, Clayton & Co. secured $10 million of Marshall
Plan orders up to the summer of 1949.
General Motors secured
$5.5 million worth of orders between July 1950 and 1951 and the
Ford Motor secured $1 million.
"The Objective of the influential majority of members of CFR has not
changed since its founding in 1922, more than 50 years ago.
In the 50th
anniversary issue of Foreign Affairs, the first and leading article was
written by
Kingman Brewster, Jr. - Reflections on Our National Purpose.
He did not
back away from defining it: our
national purpose should be to abolish our nationality.
He pulled out all the emotional stops in a
hardsell for global government.
In the entire CFR lexicon, there is
no term of revulsion carrying a meaning so deep as - America First." -

Navy, CFR member

"The
Council on Foreign Relations, headquartered in New York City, is composed of an
elite of approximately 1600 of the nation's Establishment Insiders in the
fields of high finance, academics, politics, commerce, the foundations, and the
mass media.
During its first fifty years of existence, the CFR was
almost never mentioned by any of the moguls of the mass media and yet the
membership included top executives from the
New York Times,
Washington Post,
Los Angeles Times, the
Knight Ridder newspaper chain,
NBC, CBS,
Time, Life, Fortune,
Business Week, US News & World
Report, and many others." - Gary Alan
"In the technocracy the
trend seems to be toward effectively exploiting the
latest communication
techniques to manipulate emotions
and control reason.
People are becoming increasingly malleable with
biochemical controls.
The projected world information grid for Japan,
Western Europe, and the
United States will create the basis for a
common educational
program.
We are
witnessing the emergence of transnational elites.
It is likely that
before long the social elites of most of the more advanced countries will be
highly internationalist or globalist in spirit and outlook.
The
nation-state is gradually yielding its sovereignty; further progress will
require greater American sacrifices." -
Zbigniew
Kazimierz Brzezinski
"When
Henry Stimson -
the group's quintessential member - went to Washington in 1940 as Secretary of
War, he took with him John McCloy, who was to become Assistant Secretary in
charge of personnel. McCloy has recalled: "whenever we needed a man we thumbed
through the roll of the council members." - Jack Anderson
Adlai
Stevenson pens the lead article for the April 1952 Foreign Affairs
entitled "Korea in Perspective."
"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, but it uses individuals and groups to
bring pressure from below, to justify the high level decisions for
converting the US from a sovereign
Constitutional Republic into a servile member state of a one-world
dictatorship." - Former Congressman John Rarick
In the 1960s, as
growing attention centered on the surreptitious governmental activities of the
Council on Foreign Relations, subsidiary groups, known as the
Trilateral Commission and the Bilderbergers, representing the
identical financial interests, began operations, with the more important
officials being members of all three groups.
1961 "Five years ago, the
Council on Foreign Relations gave me my first
opportunity to work systematically
on problems of foreign relations. My relations with it have remained close and
my admiration for
it has, if anything, increased." -
Henry Kissinger
1961
1998 "The regularity with which many CFR members would protect
insiders from accountability regarding another appalling fraud
surprised even me.
They seemed delighted with the advantages of being an insider while violating
the most basic principles of fiduciary
obligation and respect
for the law. The CFR was operating in a win-lose economic paradigm that
centralized economic and political
power." - Catherine Austin Fitts
In the November-December 1998 issue
of Foreign Affairs, Philip D. Zelikow co-authored an article Catastrophic Terrorism, with Ashton B. Carter and John
M. Deutch, in which they speculated that if "a transformative event like
the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center had
succeeded, the resulting horror and chaos would have exceeded our ability to
describe it.

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality
and that this has been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel
through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the
human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate
religious practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their philosophical
ideology. This web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery
religion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes,
has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every
individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and
Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing
the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
does not occur at the point of a
gun.
American social mores and values have declined precipitously
over the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and
more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general
through corporate media by pressing emotional buttons which have been
preprogrammed into the population through prior corporate media psychological
operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the
destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt
international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction and
coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
