UNDER THE SURFACE - The Council on Foreign Relations is the "mother of the transatlantic networks" that govern the world.
I wrote my last article about one of the most important institutions of the globalist elite, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) , and one of its important "subsidiaries", the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), founded by György Soros in 2007. Then at the end of the article I hinted that there are still some details about the power of the CFR that need to be written about, so I will continue now.
Just to remind you, the CFR, headquartered at 68 Park Avenue in New York City, is none other than one of, if not the, most powerful, resourced and networked global governing institution with the ultimate goal of creating world governance - preferably by them.
It was founded in 1921 (its partner institution is the Royal Institute of Foreign Affairs in London), so it is now 101 years old.
In the first period, it was controlled by the Rothschild banking house (or its American representative, JP Morgan), but later the Rockefeller family took control of the council. If we only take natural persons, it is enough to say that almost every American president after the Second World War, and most of the American secretaries of state and defense have been members - Democrats and Republicans alike. Currently, leading politicians, government people, outstanding personalities of the media, education, science, managers of the civil sphere, etc. members of the board.
The organization's influence on American governments, be they Democrats or Republicans, is quite amazing. (The first big exception is Donald Trump, the president of the national Republicans, who tried to break the power of the globalists who also appear in the CFR, which is why he had to leave the presidency in 2020.) This can be supported by the following data, which speak for themselves: the Eight presidents or vice presidents, seventeen secretaries of state, twenty secretaries of defense, eighteen secretaries of finance and fifteen CIA directors of the United States came from the ranks of the CFR.
In any case, the above data do not show that the current American governments and presidents are not "influenced" by the CFR or other important organizations of the global financial elite (Bilderberg Group, Tripartite Committee). It is no coincidence that John J. McCloy, former president of the Council on Foreign Relations and adviser to several American presidents, once said the following: "When we needed someone in Washington, we simply flipped through the council's membership list and called New York." Well, it's not a big deal - one might say, speaking in a pessimistic way.
Therefore, it is understandable and clear that Donald Trump was attacked from the moment he took office, using all available means: tax evasion, previous women's affairs, asset declaration problems, relations with the Russians, election fraud (um...), court cases, initiation of impeachment proceedings, etc. etc., and they could do that because they had all the tools they had.
Indeed, Trump did take steps to somewhat break the background power of the globalists, but four years was not enough time to achieve his goals, but during those four years his enemies could not remove him from office, even their own knives broke into it.
Therefore, they had no other choice but to go for sure in the 2020 presidential election: a journalist-expert named Molly Ball reported on this method in the February 15, 2021 issue of Time magazine.
Molly Ball described with surprising honesty that a year before the elections, a gigagroup, which she also called a conspiracy, was formed of democratic politicians, union leaders, company CEOs, lobbyists, election gurus, tech giants (led by Mark Zuckerberg), media executives, etc. According to the author, it was a "behind-the-scenes collaboration of influential people across industries and ideologies." In other words, Democrats cooperated with Republicans here. For me, this very spectacularly proves that what many of us have been talking about and writing about for a long time is proven in this self-confessed, boastful and revealing article: the deep state exists, or background power, which extends beyond formal visual politics and is present as a hidden network not only among the Democrats - of course primarily there - but also among the Republicans. The deep state is not a formal, unelected, unverifiable institution that operates as an informal network, but sometimes it shows itself, as in this case. And one of the most important institutions of this deep state is the Foreign Relations Council.
So in 2020, Trump's power was overthrown, the Democrats came with Joe Biden, and we can hardly be surprised that the CFR became active again. The consequence: many members of the Biden cabinet are also members of the CFR...
According to German political scientist Hermann Ploppa, the Council on Foreign Relations is the "mother of transatlantic networks". Especially in connection with today's incomprehensible and self-destructive policy in Germany regarding the war, it is important to point out that the CFR has a strong presence in Germany, for example through the organization Atlantik Brücke (Atlantic Bridge). The latter globalist organization is chaired by John Maloy and - grab it now! – Founded by Eric Warburg (does anyone not know the name Warburg banking dynasty?). But in addition, we should mention the organization called Gesellschaft für Aussenpolitik (Society for Foreign Policy), which is strongly connected to the CFR, and the German Council on Foreign Relations, which, like the European Council on Foreign Relations founded by Soros, is also the It can be considered a subsidiary of CFR.
But let's go further: in addition to its strong influence on the big media, the CFR also extends its influence to the world's leading news agencies.
For example, David Schlesinger, the editor-in-chief of Thompson Reuters, is also a member of the CFR, as is Isaac Lee, who is a member of the board of directors of one of the largest news agencies in the United States, the Associated Press. Furthermore, among the members of the "German" Atlantik Brücke are some managers and editors of ARD, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Die Zeit, Süddeutsche Zeitung, and ZDF.
It should be noted that frequent guests of the Bilderberg conference are also media professionals, such as the former editor-in-chief of NZZ, Markus Spillmann, the publisher of Tamedia, Pietro Supino, or the manager of the Axel Springer SE publishing group, Mathias Döpfner. In addition, CFR members themselves appear in local public media coverage - as "experts" and of course without reference to CFR's goals and thinking. And this is an excellent way for unsuspecting TV viewers to view and evaluate world events through the lens of the CFR, and more broadly, the global elite.
In addition, the CFR extends its influence to various so-called "humanist" organizations, and in addition, the leadership of Human Right Watch or Amnesty International, which is so "dear" to us, includes or used to have CFR people. But USAID, the US international development agency, and the American National Endowment for Democracy (NED) can be mentioned within their sphere of influence.
But one should not think that the attention and influence of the CFR does not extend to military affairs and the economy. Instead of any further explanations, I quote the assessment of the research institute Swiss Policy Research:
The CFR has maintained its own officer training program for decades, so it is currently estimated that about 75 percent of all senior US military officers have been trained by the CFR, including nearly all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, NATO commanders in chief, and area commanders since World War II. […] In this way, the Council built an ideologically trained, imperial armed force, which is otherwise known almost only from totalitarian regimes.
Strict but fair sentences.
Finally, about the economy: in 1953, the CFR decided to expand its market relations in order to achieve its goals. According to the information provided by them, more than 120 companies from the financial, health, nutrition and industrial sectors are associated with them. These include Toyota Motor Corporation, financial services provider American Express, industrial group BASF, beverage and food maker PepsiCo and pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson. And let's not leave Facebook and Google out of the list either.
Just one more point of interest at the end: some members of the CFR were also on the Warren Commission investigating the Kennedy assassination, as well as on the commission investigating the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center towers (khm...). The results published by the two committees are at least interesting, at most unsatisfactory...
Well, in a nutshell, that's probably enough about the globalist elite.
