3. The Council on Foreign Relations - Mystic Order of Noble Knowledge

The former mission statement for the Council on Foreign Relations, or CFR, stated they are "a unique membership organization and think tank that educates members and staff to serve the nation iwth ideas for a better world." Yet millions around the world believe that behind this innocent mission statement is an evil organization whose real mission is creating a one world government whose citizens will bow down to them as the New World Order.

 

To understand claims that the CFR is really a group of New York Elitist propagating a New World Order, one must look at the history of the organization and consider all angles. What is the CFR? Who belongs to the CFR? Has the CFR infiltrated every branch of the United States Government?

 

What is the Council of Foreign Relations?

 

In 1917, near the end of the first World War, Colonel Edward Mandell House advised President Woodrow Wilson to start an inquiry into how to keep peace after the war. Woodrow Wilson called the group "The Inquiry," and from the meetings of these 100 men, they devised a plan to eliminate economic barriers between nations and to form a general association of all nations.

 

After the war, Colonel House, President Wilson, and members of the inquiry took their plans for a "League of Nations" to the Paris Peace Treaty where it was accepted by the heads of many European nations. Wilson than took the Covenant to the Senate, where the idea faltered.

 

Colonel House went back to Paris to his original supporters and over several meetings an international organization was formed. The organization would have two branches, The Royal Institute of International Affairs in England, and the Council on Foreign Relations in the United States.

 

The Council on Foreign Relations started as a small dinner club in New York where prominent business men, lawyers, and bankers met to discuss the state and future of international trade and finance. The CFR grew as the who's who of New York's elite all lined up to enter the club. It wasn't easy to become a member, one had to be reffered by two other members, approved by a committee, screened by the staff, and re-approved by the board of directors.

 

Eventually there ranks swelled to 1600 members and the CFR set up a formal headquarters at the magnificent Harold Pratt House, a generous donation from Charles Pratt, a Chairman of Rockefeller's Standard Oil. In fact is was banker's like John D. Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan that put up the funding for the Council on Foreign Relations. The founding President of CFR was John W. Davis, the personal lawyer for J.P. Morgan, and the Vice President of CFR was also a representative for J.P. Morgan. One can understand the interest a oil tycoon and a banking ogul would have in funding the very council that reccomends the nations foreign affairs to the nations President.

Who Belongs to the Council on Foreign Relations?

Original members of the Council on Foreign Relations include Colonel House, advisor to President Woodrow Wilson, New York Senator Elihu Root, Secretary of State John Dulles, and his brother Allen Dulles who quickly became the Director of the CIA.

Knowing the roster for the CFR is helpful to understand how the "think tank" comes up with its policies for greater economic growth, and how easy it must be for the CFR to put their "suggestions" into legislation. When a significant portion of the President's cabinent are members of an organization, it's easy to see where that President's policies really come from.

From it's inception throgh 1988, fourteen secretaries of state, fourteen treasury secrataries, and eleven defense secrataries have been members of the Councile on Foreign Relations. Almost every Director of the CIA since founding memeber Allen Dulles held the position have been members of the CFR.

Most of today's funding comes from Fortune 500 companies such as General Motors, Texaco, Xerox, Brostol-Meyers Squibb, and foundations such as the Rockefeller Brother's Fund. Such companies reep the benefits of having an organization such as the CFR suggest economic and foreign policies that are friendly to its donors, directly to the President of the United States.

Once said policies are created, the CFR researches all arguements against these policies, then they push them on to their members that are in every position of the government who make these policies into law. President Bill Clinton had over 100 CFR members in his cabinent.

With theh backing of the CIA, there isn't anyone with the power to stop them from manipulating their dominance of global policy. President George Bush (the elder) was a CFR member and Director of the CIA. When Ronald Reagan was running against George Buch  for the Republican nomination for President, he slammed Bush for his connections to the CFR. Withing a couple of months, Regean selected George Bush for his Vice Presidential running mate.

With so many members with power in the government, and funding from large corporations and banking moguls, its hard to see how the Council on Foreign Relations isn't a New World Order that secretly controls the economic state of the world behind the scenes. The only questions that remains is why then are they so open with their policies, membership, and their bi-monthly publication Foreign Affairs?
