CFR: Still the Power Behind the Throne

by William F. Jasper


For a century, the globalist Council on Foreign Relations has been the “power behind the throne” in U.S. politics. This tradition has continued under the Biden administration.


2021 is a big year for the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), an organization that often is heralded as the most influential think tank in America, if not the entire world. Prominent on the Council’s website (cfr.org) is its centennial page, “Celebrating A Century,” a self-congratulatory promo of the organization’s accomplishments over the past hundred years. The promotional features an impressive cavalcade of pictorials, videos, and articles showcasing the Council’s worldly influence and power, as demonstrated by the hundreds of presidents, prime ministers, princes, potentates, politicians, kings, diplomats, and dictators — including mass-murderers — who have graced the organization’s meetings, and/or have written for its famed journal Foreign Affairs.

2021 is a big year for the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), an organization that often is heralded as the most influential think tank in America, if not the entire world. Prominent on the Council’s website (cfr.org) is its centennial page, “Celebrating A Century,” a self-congratulatory promo of the organization’s accomplishments over the past hundred years. The promotional features an impressive cavalcade of pictorials, videos, and articles showcasing the Council’s worldly influence and power, as demonstrated by the hundreds of presidents, prime ministers, princes, potentates, politicians, kings, diplomats, and dictators — including mass-murderers — who have graced the organization’s meetings, and/or have written for its famed journal Foreign Affairs.

In April 1945, just days before the end of World War II, Secretary of State Edward Stettinius journeyed to Pratt House, the CFR’s headquarters in New York City. He had come, he said, to “bear witness, as every Secretary of State during the past quarter of a century, to the great services and influence of this organization in spreading knowledge and understanding of the issues of United States foreign policy.” Every secretary of state since then has continued the tradition. As you will see in the accompanying table showing CFR influence in the State Department (pages 26-27), Secretary Stettinius and almost every one of his successors — until the Trump administration — has been a member of the Council. And now, with the enthronement of Joe Biden, that CFR control of the State Department has resumed, with CFR member Antony Blinken taking over as secretary, and a bevy of Council members filling out the top posts at State and in the rest of the Biden Cabinet. 

Authors Walter Isaacson and Evan Thomasreferred to the Council’s leading lights as “The Wise Men,” a reverential term that has been generously applied to the CFR at large by the Council’s academic and media shills. Journalist and presidential speechwriter Joseph Kraft famously referred to the Council as a “School for Statesmen.” Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist-historian David Halberstam called it “the Establishment’s unofficial club.” Historian and presidential advisor Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. described the CFR as a “front organization” for “the heart of the American Establishment.” Like Secretary Stettinius, all of the individuals offering these respectful remarks were themselves prominent CFR members, though they were not identified as such when they made the comments.

However, a description by another Council member, author-journalist Richard Rovere, conveys a more ominous and telling image. “The directors of the Council on Foreign Relations,” he said, “make up a sort of Presidium for that part of the Establishment that guides our destiny as a nation.” Rovere’s choice of the word “Presidium” was apropos. He obviously was comparing it to the murderous, unelected, and unaccountable gang of criminals that ran the Soviet Union and still runs communist dictatorships such as China and North Korea. That such a body “guides our destiny as a nation” should be a truly chilling thought for every American. However, Rovere appears to have offered that evaluation as a compliment to his fellow CFR members, not as a condemnation, thus reinforcing the perception gained from decades of observing the CFR elite hobnobbing with the communist elite that the Pratt House princelings are far more comfortable with communist absolutism than with constitutionally limited government.

Those familiar with the true history of the Council on Foreign Relations know full well that its hundred-year history is a sordid record of treachery, treason, subversion, and betrayal. That is a serious charge, but it is not hyperbole, as we will show within the limits of this short survey. The history of the CFR is a chronicle of a century-long war against national sovereignty, and an unremitting effort to build an all-powerful world government, which CFR globalists have frequently referred to as their “New World Order.” 

Yet, despite being composed of the high and mighty of American society, and despite its central role in global events and its extensive connections to world movers and shakers, the Council was largely unknown to most Americans for much of its existence. That is as the Council’s leaders desired, since they preferred to be the power behind the scenes. Modesty was not the reason they operated in the shadows; they knew that openly revealing their agenda would invite a severe public backlash from the American people. In the past two decades, the CFR has come out more into the open, and its president, Richard N. Haass, and various CFR spokesmen and “experts” now appear regularly as Wise Men in the major media, dispensing their wisdom to the masses on sundry topics. Their increased public visibility has not brought any genuine transparency, but for those with eyes to see and brains to reason, the past four years and the past few months have removed all doubt about the existence of the Deep State and its tyrannical designs for our future.

The unprecedented fury of the non-stop attacks on President Trump, his family, his administration, and his supporters — not only by the “liberal” media and “progressive” Democrats, but also by neoconservatives, “moderate” Republicans, and a host of high-level government officials (some retired and some still serving) — has awakened millions of Americans to the fact that there is a hostile power operating not only within the highest levels of our government but within the top levels of institutional power throughout our society. If you are among the newly awakened, it is crucial that you understand that this hostile power — this “power elite,” as leftist professor C. Wright Mills and conservative columnist Edith Kermit Roosevelt referred to it — is not a recent phenomenon. The CFR Deep State, as noted above, has been building and concentrating its power for a century, patiently penetrating and corrupting all of our foundational institutions.

The Council on Foreign Relations’ founders were the architects of, and prop-agandists for, the failed League of Nations following World War I, as well as engineers of the successful effort that launched the United Nations after World War II, and the multitude of UN agencies and international organizations that have burgeoned forth since then. They have been the primary moving force behind virtually every destructive policy that has been undermining America on all fronts, while simultaneously aiding our enemies. Through both Democrat and Republican administrations, the CFR’s members and minions have provided the leadership for the devastating programs and policies that are now dangerously close to extinguishing freedom as we know it and terminating our constitutional republic. They are, for example, the main promoters of, and cheerleaders for, open borders, unsustainable spending and taxing, foreign aid, LGBTQ “diversity,” racial polarization and discord, election thievery, gun confiscation, feminization and politicization of our military, fanatical environmentalism, global-warming hysteria, COVID panic and medical dictatorship, Trump Derangement Syndrome, Fake News, Big Tech censorship, oppressive regulation, trade policies that are outsourcing our industry and technology, communistic cancel culture, federal usurpation of state and local authority, indoctrination of our children and youth in immorality and Marxist ideology — and much, much more.

Deep State Comes Out

The CFR elite are celebrating 2021 not only because it is their organization’s centennial year, but because they have succeeded fabulously in creating chaos by undermining our nation in all the areas listed above. And they have succeeded in ousting President Donald Trump and installing their favored candidate, Joe Biden, in the White House. Biden is not a CFR member, but he has loaded his administration with Pratt House “Wise Men” (see page 17) and has reversed course on nearly every front where President Trump had moved against the CFR globalists’ New World Order agenda. During a videotaped appearance on January 23, 2018 at the Council’s headquarters, Biden uttered a revealing comment. When CFR President Richard N. Haass introduced himself and remarked that he worked for the Council, Biden, who was sitting next to Haass, quipped, “And I work for Richard.” Just a harmless joke, right? But, as the well-known adage goes, “Many a truth is spoken in jest.” The same applies to the comment by Hillary Clinton, who, while secretary of state, admitted at the CFR’s new Washington, D.C., office that she had been many times to the organization’s “mothership” in New York, but that the new office was much more conveniently located. “We get a lot of advice from the Council,” she claimed, “so, this will mean I won’t have as far to go to be told what we should be doing, and how we should think about the future.” (Emphasis added.)

The Committee of 300

by Administrator

 

The global government predicted in the Book of Revelations is no longer a conspiracy theory or myth, but a rapidly developing entity. For those who think this is nonsense, you are contradicted by observable facts and quantifiable data. Just as animal prints in the earth are not some 'fortuitous random assemblage' of soil indentations, neither are the footprints of an organization of coordinated intervention.

What we're witnessing is the creation of a purely evolutionary society on a global scale where the strong naturally prey on the weak.

In 1995, a book entitled the Committee of 300 was published, outlining a new world order agenda. The author, John Coleman reveals a host of ordinary organizations along with free Masonry, Bilderburg, the Club of Rome, the Council on Foreign Relations and others pushing a one-world government.

Update 7-17-14 Committee Goals: ...implementation of the following by divine right :

(1) A One World Government with a unified church and monetary system under their direction.

(2) The utter destruction of all national identity and national pride.

(3) The destruction of religion except their own creation.

(4) Control of each and every person through mind control technotronics'..

(5) An end to all industrialization.."

(6) Legalization of drugs.."

(7) Depopulation of large cities.."

(The Committee of 300, Dr. John Coleman, 3rd Edition, 1995-'96)


Coleman, a former Intelligence Officer describes the frightening world these groups are creating under an oversight committee. This is not fiction, its mission is clear, as many of the necessary steps have already been completed since 1995, while others are in process as this is written.

The author alludes that the 'Committee of 300' is a coalition of interests who wish to force a global government. The committee has a 150 year history with a well defined objective:

"A one-world government and one-unit monetary system under permanent non-elected hereditary oligarchists who self select from among their numbers in the form of a feudal system as it was in the middle ages...There will be no middle class, only rulers and servants...a state where there is no individual freedom or any concept of Liberty surviving...The economic system shall be based on the ruling oligarchic class allowing just enough foods and services to be produced to keep the mass slave labor camps going."

We're seeing further evidence of the trend toward European feudalism now as US industry has transferred many jobs to Chinese slave labor.

"In 1983, the International Bankers [Banksters] met in Williamsburg, Virginia to work out a strategy to prepare the United States for a total disintegration of its banking system. This planned event was to stampede the US Senate to accept control of our monetary and fiscal policies by the IMF."

This necessarily means destroying the existing domestic banking system to bring it under control of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as we've discovered in the recent audit of the Federal Reserve where public money was sent to many international banks. The contrived economic crisis with the engineered collapse of AIG, Lehman Brothers and others, through the lending scam, has left many banks deficient in cash reserves and thus subsequently closed.

"The committee of 300 has a major bureaucracy at its disposal made up of hundreds of think tanks and front organizations that run the whole gamut of private business and government leaders...American Express, Armour Research Foundation, Bank of America, Bank Hapoalim, Chase Manhattan bank...Joseph Rettinger a 33rd degree freemason...said to have been the founder and organizer of Bilderburg., Citibank, Dusseldorf Global Bank, Royal Bank of Canada, World Bank, Heritage Foundation, Hudson Institute, Mellon Institute, Milton Katz of the Ford Foundation, NATO, NAACP, National Council of Churches, RAND Corp, David Rochefeller of the Trilateral Commission, Mrs Katherine Meyer Graham, a ranking member of the Club of Rome who is suspected of having murdered her husband to get control of the Washington Post."

The book contains a more extensive list and should be consulted for those with further interest.

"The idea of bringing the International Institute for Strategic Studies into being arose at the 1957 Bilderburg meeting...Membership in IISS includes representatives of 87 major wire services and press associations as well as 138 senior editors and columnists drawn from international newspapers and magazines. The ISS is nothing more than a higher echelon opinion maker."

Now you know why media news reports are jaded, deceitful and misleading. And why certain news is simply buried or 'spiked.' It also suggests why many poll results seem way off base. And, why Hollywood is so consistent in continually portraying America as evil.

"To keep people everywhere from deciding their own destinies by means of one created crisis after another and then 'managing' such crises." 

As former White House chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has often remarked, "A crisis is a terrible thing to waste." This tends to explain the 'crisis' creation of EPA, FEMA, Homeland Security and TSA. These agencies have aided the global effort to impose a one-world government with inexplicable, burdensome and draconian regulations. Congressional oversight has largely been all show and has facilitated the AIG collapse, the Lending Scandal & Bank Bailout, as well as 'Fast & Furious'. 

The Dept of Education is an ongoing crisis with endless lawsuits against government for 'new' social engineering programs like 'Goals 2000', 'No Child Left behind' and 'Outcome Based Education', etc.

 "Natural Resources would have to be allocated under the auspices of global planning"

America is being prepared as a vast servant class where only the elite will be entitled to the world's resources. We're seeing this in the capping of oil wells, closing coal plants, and the moratorium on nuclear power.

"Less foreign aid means less control of a country's natural resources by the International Monetary Fund. Dependence upon US foreign aid actually keeps foreign countries in servitude to the Council on Foreign Relations. It also keeps US citizens in a state of involuntary servitude and therefore less able to mount meaningful opposition to government."

 So now we have a good explanation for why America continues foreign aid despite deplorable economic conditions, high unemployment and near complete financial collapse. This is already forced servitude to the International Bankers.

 "The United States will be flooded by peoples of alien cultures who will eventually overwhelm white America, people with no concept of what the US Constitution stands for and who will in consequence, do nothing to defend it and in whose minds the concept of Liberty and justice is so weak as to matter little."

Runaway immigration began to be noticed about the time of the first Bush presidency and suggests that both parties are under centralized control; otherwise something meaningful might have been done. The immigrants already fit the economic and social profile that the Committee of 300 would like to impose on the nation.

"There were no aliens in our midst; that came later in a deliberately planned attempt to break up the United States into a series of fragmented nationalities, cultures and beliefs "

The fact that illegal immigration continues unabated in America, despite whomever holds the White House or the makeup of Congress, is clear evidence of control from a higher source and their intent.

"The abolition of privately owned firearms is already in force in three-quarters of the world. Only in the United States can the populace still own guns of all types, but that legal right is being chipped away at an alarming rate by local and state laws which violate the Constitutional right of all citizens to bear arms."

Guns are an impediment to totalitarianism wherever it's found, removing them from the general populace is necessary to enforce slavery. The most sinister threat to freedom is the UN Small Arms Treaty pushed by the Obama Administration, which will make gun ownership in the US illegal by international treaty.

"Agriculture shall be solely in the hands of the committee of 300 with food production strictly controlled."

The government has undertaken armed raids on private farms for the supposed crime of selling raw milk and cheese products. The intent to intimidate, control and manage is clear.

"Euthanasia for the terminally ill and the aged shall be compulsory...At least 4 billion "useless eaters" shall be eliminated by the year 2050 by means of limited wars, organized epidemics of fatal rapid acting diseases and starvation. Energy, food and water shall be kept at subsistence levels for the non-elite starting with the White populations of Western Europe and North America and then spreading to other races. The population of Canada, Western Europe and the United States will be decimated more rapidly than on other continents, until the world's population reaches a manageable level of One billion.."

This is nothing but applied evolutionary eugenics; only the strong are fit to live. The British association for the advancement of science wrote in the 1940's "The German Fuhrer, as I have consistently maintained, is an evolutionist; he has consistently sought to make the practices of Germany conform to the theory of evolution." - Sir Arthur Keith, a militant anti-Christian physical anthropologist, Evolution and Ethics, 1947, p. 230

Helga Kuhse, Ph.D (Australia) "If we can get the people to accept the removal of all treatment and care, especially the removal of food and fluid they will see what a painful way this is to die, and then, in the patients best interest they will accept the lethal injection." Make no mistake, euthanasia is a key component of Obamacare's murderous health plan.

And now we see the same evolutionary principles brought to bear in a new world order run by the Committee of 300 that bears strong resemblance to what the Third Reich accomplished at Auschwitz, Buchenwald and Dachau.  

Recall that environmentalism's claim that 'man is an 'eco-cancer' on the face of the earth' is 'justification' for reducing population according to UN resolutions. The EPA has openly admitted to death camp practices asking "human guinea pigs to sacrifice their lives for regulatory purposes" and the 'glorious state'. Can you hear the Committee's Fourth Reich marching? And, it gets worse:  

"No central bank save the bank of International Settlement and the World bank shall be allowed to operate. Private banks will be outlawed...There shall be no cash or coinage in the hands of the non-elite. All transactions shall be carried out by means of a [microchip or other electronic device] which shall bear the identification of the holder...Banks large and small in the thousands are in the Committee of 300 network.."

We're already seeing the demise of many private banks, victims of the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae lending crises, while Bilderburg members of the Federal Reserve system have been bailed out by the nation's taxpayers in debt financing agreements with the government. Depositors are denied market value on their loaned money as banks pocket the extra profits. 

"The key to successful control of the world is their ability to create and manage savage economic recessions and eventual depressions. The Committee of 300 looks to social convulsions on a global scale, followed by depressions, as a softening -up technique for bigger things to come as its principal method of creating masses of people all over the world who will become its 'welfare' recipients of the future.."

This certainly tracks well with Karl Marx's method of economic control for the masses. In the statement above, you have both the motivation for US foreign aid and the Federal Reserve's 'QE' series of destructive inflationary programs followed by sharp recession. These policies have created a vast new class of 'food stamp' and welfare recipients in the US and elsewhere. It also explains the global push for homosexual rights, etc.

 "The Club of Rome is still one of the most important foreign policy arms of the Committee of 300 --the other being the Bilderburgers."

Bilderburg is already exuding great influence in Washington but for the Committee to further its global objectives, Obama's re-election is key. At some point, the electronic voting system will be co-opted to ensure the desired global candidates are elected, with the winning votes aligning closely with the polls to increase public confidence in both the polling methods and electronic voting.

"The 'environment of change' is crippling the nation; we appear to have so little control that it has produced anxiety and confusion. We now look to group solutions instead of individual solutions to our problems."

How prophetic Coleman's words have been as we've subsequently elected the 'master of change' as our King. Consider that we have a national health care system that nobody wanted imposed by a president who is not a US citizen much less natural born whose personal records are sealed. That takes a great deal of political clout as well as logistics to pull off, something the committee has been known to possess.

How pervasive is the Committee of 300 influence in the US Govt. now? We're already victims of Bilderburg and the IMF. The financier's Committee of 300 is actively enslaving the population; it's just a matter of time before they get the rest of the pie.
