                                  THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS


WOODROW WILSON IN THE NEW WORLD --

   Wall Street, particularly the Morgan Banking interests insured
that their choice for President, Woodrow Wilson would win the office
by funding a third party candidate, Teddy Roosevelt, who would split
the vote of his main opponent Republican William Howard Taft. ( Sound
familiar ? ) The Republicans were considered too close to Wall Street
by an angry American voting public sick of the excesses of the Robber
Barons and their predatory corporations. The strategy worked ( and
continues to work to this day.) and Wilson was elected President.

  Wilson's chief advisor in the White house was Colonel Edward M.
House. House ran the State Department, and helped choose Wilson's
Cabinet in much the same way that Warren Christopher helped choose
Clinton's first Cabinet. House had strong connections to Wall Street,
as well as to politicians and international bankers in Europe.

   In 1916 Wilson charged a group of specially chosen intellectuals
including the Dulles brothers, and Walter Lippmann ( the "dean" of US
journalism ) with the tasks of creating the peace terms for a
defeated Germany, and creating a framework for a new world order, as
stated in the League of Nations Covenant. Both of these endeavors
were abject failures eventually resulting in the slaughter-fest known
as WWII.

  John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, Christian A. Herter, were also
invited by Colonel House to Paris in 1919 to meet with a group of
like minded Englishmen to form organizations in their respective
countries that will study international affairs. The Americans
incorporated The Council On Foreign Relations in 1921. The stated
purpose was to create a "positive US foreign policy" to counteract
the " negative foreign policy " which was isolationism. Isolationism
restricted international business and kept the US military out of
very lucrative wars.

THE COUNCIL -- Excerpts from - Who Rules America Now  by G. William
Domhoff

   - The largest and best known of the (3) policy organizations is
the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Founded by bankers, lawyers,
and academicians who were fully cognizant of the larger role the
United States would play in world affairs after WWI, the council's
importance in the conduct of world affairs was well established by
the 1930s. The council had about 1800 members (in 1983), half from
the New York area, half from the rest of the country. Before 1970 the
members were primarily financiers, executives, and lawyers, with a
strong minority of journalists, academic experts, and government
officials. Since that time there has been an effort to include a
larger number of government officials, including foreign - service
officers, politicians and staff members of congressional comities
concerned with foreign policy.

   - For all sectors of the economy, the companies with the most
members among their ( CFR's ) officers and directors were Morgan
Guaranty Trust (16), Chase Manhattan Bank (15), Citibank (10), and
IBM (8).

   - Historical case studies suggest that study groups at the CFR
have been at the heart of many foreign policy initiatives. For
example, council groups called the War-Peace Study Groups met from
1940 to 1945 in order to develop plans for after WWII. ( Remember, we
didn't get into WWII until Dec. 7, 1941 - J2 ) They had a major
influence in creating the International Monetary Fund, the World
Bank, and the UN. A series of study groups in the 1940s and 1950s
helped to establish the consensus wisdom that it was necessary to
defend South Vietnam at all costs. Large foundation grants in the
early 1960s led to study groups that reconsidered US policy toward
China, concluding that the policy must be changed to allow for
recognition of its communist government and eventual trade relations.

   - Council leaders ( Zbigniew Brzezinski, and David Rockefeller )
reacted to the large scale changes of the late 1960s and early 1970s
by creating a new discussion group called the Trilateral Commission,
which included 60 members from Japan and 60 from Western Europe as
well as American members. Its goal was to develop closer economic and
political cooperation among the industrialized democracies in dealing
with economic competition among themselves and with challenges from
underdeveloped countries.
                G.W.D.

   " The Trilateral Commission doesn't secretly run the world. The
Council on Foreign Relations does that."  Winston Lord, President,
CFR, "W" Magazine, August 4-11, 1978, Fairchild Publications

   If your dice were this heavily loaded, you'd be shot for cheating.

  These are the most powerful positions in the world. If they were
all occupied by wine tasters you would wonder about what might be
going on here. If they were all Black you'd really worry about
ulterior motives. If they were all Jews, well .... it would be time
to look at your old copy of the " Protocols of the Elders of Zion"
with a more discerning eye.

   HOW MANY STORIES HAVE ANY OF THESE PEOPLE DONE ON THE MOST
INFLUENTIAL PRIVATE POLICY GROUP IN THE UNITED STATES ???

LOOK FOR THE UNION LABEL --

   In South Korea, France, Israel, (Corp.Cap.) Russia, Germany, and
everywhere that Corporate Politicians are attempting to cut into, and
weaken the rights of Labor, Unions and their supportive populations
are in the streets and ready to fight against the erosion of their
standard of living. Conspicuous by their non-action are the beaten
working people of the United States. Here's why.....

UNION BOSSES IN THE CFR -- ( past and recent )

I.W.Abel - Pres. United Steel Workers of America              also TC
Sol Chick Chaiken - Pres. I.L.G.U.                            also TC
Thomas R. Donahue - Sec./ Treasurer AFL-CIO                   also TC
Murray H. Finley - Pres. Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers
Victor Gotbaum - A.F.S.C.M.E.
Lane Kirkland - Longtime President AFL-CIO                    also TC
Howard D. Samuel - Pres. Industrial Union Dept. AFL-CIO
Marten J. Ward - Plumbers and Pipe Fitting Industry USA & Canada
Glen E. Watts - Pres. Communication Workers of America       also TC
Leonard Woodcock (wishful thinking)-Pres. United Auto Workers also TC
Jerry Wurf - Pres. A.F.S.C.M.E.

FOX IN THE HENHOUSE --

  Look at what has happened to most of these unions since the ruling
business elites got their Neo-Liberal policies rolling. There is NO
ONE in American politics to represent working people.


WHAT THEY HAVE IN COMMON --

   - They are all Rich by middle class standards.
   - They are influential in the society at large.
   - They are all Corporate Capitalists ( as opposed to small
     business Capitalists ).
   - They benefit handsomely from the status quo.
   - They are Upper Middle to Upper Class socially, despite humble
     beginnings for some.
   - The Jews in this group are almost all " Assimilated Jews ".
   - They ALL SEE THE NATION STATE AS OBSOLETE.
   - They are striving to reorganize the world community into Trading
     Blocks, WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED, EVEN IN THE
     "DEMOCRATIC" NATIONS.

   - Their justification is the claim that this will bring world
peace, despite a dismal record of failure, and a history of starting
wars and destabilizing Sovereign States to advantage multinational
corporations which they own.

   - For the first time in history it is technologically possible to
establish a world wide system of communication capable of global
organization. They are organizing the worlds economies in a manner
which will keep them in control in order to exploit the resources and
labor of ALL nations, not just the third world.

   - This process is antithetical to democracy, but the illusion of
democracy is required where possible to prevent insurrection. Where "
democracy " doesn't work, dictatorial puppet governments are
installed and maintained as long as they serve MULTINATIONAL
CORPORATE INTERESTS. These are described by the media as NATIONAL
INTERESTS, as defined by the groups under discussion here, and
disseminated through the mass media for public consumption.
