			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>or those who may be confused by the controversies             surrounding the &#8220;New World Order&#8221;, a One-World-Government, and             American concern over giving the UN more power; those unaware of             the issues involved; and those wishing more background, I offer the             following.             Originally presented for an Honors Class, &#8220;Dilemmas of War and             Peace,&#8221; at New Mexico State University, the paper was ridiculed and             characterized by Dr. Yosef Lapid, (an acknowledged and locally             quoted &#8220;expert&#8221; on Terrorism and Middle Eastern affairs) as             &#8220;paranoid&#8230; possibly a symptom of mental illness.&#8221; You may judge             for yourself.</p>
<p>Citing source data is the &#8220;scientific method,&#8221; but does not seem to             apply to &#8220;Conspiracy Theories.&#8221; A thousand sources may be quoted,             yet will not convince the &#8220;skeptics,&#8221; the &#8220;realists.&#8221; It seems to             me the &#8220;symptoms of mental illness&#8221; are on their side, if they             refuse to look at evidence (&#8220;There are none so blind as those who             WILL not see&#8221;); or perhaps something more sinister is at work, such             as a knowledge of the truth, that does not want YOU to know.</p>
<p>To be paranoid means to believe in delusions of danger and             persecution. If the danger is real, and the evidence credible, then             it cannot be delusional. To ignore the evidence, and hope that it             CANNOT be true, is more an evidence of mental illness.</p>
<p>The issue involves much more than a difference of philosophy, or             political viewpoint. Growing up in the midst of the &#8220;Cold War,&#8221; our             generation were taught that those who attempted to abolish our             national sovereignty and overthrow our Constitutional government             were committing acts of treason. Please judge for yourself if the             group discussed is guilty of such.</p>
<p>If one group is effectively in control of national governments and             multinational corporations; promotes world government through             control of media, foundation grants, and education; and controls             and guides the issues of the day; then they control most options             available. The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), and the             financial powers behind it, have done all these things, and promote             the &#8220;New World Order&#8221;, as they have for over seventy years.</p>
<p>The CFR is the promotional arm of the Ruling Elite in the United             States of America. Most influential politicians, academics and             media personalities are members, and it uses its influence to             infiltrate the New World Order into American life. Its&#8217; &#8220;experts&#8221;             write scholarly pieces to be used in decision making, the academics             expound on the wisdom of a united world, and the media members             disseminate the message.</p>
<p>To understand how the most influential people in America came to be             members of an organization working purposefully for the overthrow             of the Constitution and American sovereignty, we have to go back at             least to the early 1900&#8217;s, though the story begins much earlier             (depending on your viewpoint and beliefs).</p>
<p>That a ruling power elite does indeed control the U.S. government             behind the scenes has been attested to by many americans in a             position to know. Felix Frankfurter, Justice of the Supreme Court             (1939-1962), said: &#8220;The real rulers in Washington are invisible and             exercise power from behind the scenes.&#8221; In a letter to an associate             dated November 21, 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt wrote, &#8220;The             real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial             element in the large centers has owned the government ever since             the days of Andrew Jackson.&#8221; February 23, 1954,</p>
<p>Senator William Jenner warned in a speech: &#8220;Outwardly we have a             Constitutional government. We have operating within our government             and political system, another body representing another form of             government, a bureaucratic elite which believes our Constitution is             outmoded.&#8221;</p>
<p>Baron M.A. Rothschild wrote, &#8220;Give me control over a nation&#8217;s             currency and I care not who makes its laws.&#8221;</p>
<p>All that is needed to effectively control a government is to have             control over the nation&#8217;s money: a central bank with a monopoly             over the supply of money and credit. This had been done in Western             Europe, with the creation of privately owned central banks such as             the Bank of England.</p>
<p>Georgetown professor Dr. Carroll Quigley (Bill Clinton&#8217;s mentor             while at Georgetown) wrote about the goals of the investment             bankers who control central banks: &#8220;&#8230; nothing less than to create             a world system of financial control in private hands able to             dominate the political system of each country and the economy of             the world as a whole&#8230; controlled in a feudalist fashion by the             central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements             arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Bank of the United States (1816-36), an early attempt at an             American central bank, was abolished by President Andrew Jackson,             who believed that it threatened the nation. He wrote: &#8220;The bold             effort the present bank had made to control the government, the             distress it had wantonly produced&#8230;are but premonitions of the             fate that awaits the American people should they be deluded into a             perpetuation of this institution or the establishment of another             like it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Thomas Jefferson wrote: &#8220;The Central Bank is an institution of the             most deadly hostility existing against the principles and form of             our Constitution&#8230;if the American people allow private banks to             control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then             by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around             them will deprive the people of all their property until their             children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers             conquered.&#8221;</p>
<p>Does that not describe the situation in America today?</p>
<p>The U.S. managed to do without a central bank until early in this             century, when, according to Congressman Charles Lindbergh, Sr.,             &#8220;The Money Trust caused the 1907 panic, and thereby forced Congress             to create a National Monetary Commission.&#8221; Headed by Senator Nelson             Aldrich, father-in-law of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., the Commission             recommended creation of a central bank.</p>
<p>Though unconstitutional, as only &#8220;The Congress shall have             Power&#8230;To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof&#8230;&#8221; (Article I,             Section 8, U.S. Constitution) the Federal Reserve Act was passed in             December 1913; ostensibly to stabilize the economy and prevent             further panics, but as Lindberg warned Congress: &#8220;This act             establishes the most gigantic trust on earth&#8230;the invisible             government by the money power, proven to exist by the Money Trust             investigation, will be legalized.&#8221; The Great Depression and             numerous recessions later, it is obvious the Federal Reserve             produces inflation and federal debt whenever it desires, but not             stability.</p>
<p>Congressman Louis McFadden, House Committee on Banking and Currency             Chairman (1920-31), stated: &#8220;When the Federal Reserve Act was             passed, the people of these United States did not perceive that a             world banking system was being set up here. A super-state             controlled by international bankers and industrialists&#8230;acting             together to enslave the world&#8230;Every effort has been made by the             Fed to conceal its powers but the truth is&#8211;the Fed has usurped the             government.&#8221;</p>
<p>Although called &#8220;Federal,&#8221; the Federal Reserve system is privately             owned by member banks, makes its own policies, and is not subject             to oversight by Congress or the President. As the overseer and             supplier of reserves, the Fed gave banks access to public funds,             which enhanced their lending capacity.</p>
<p>Peter Kershaw, in &#8220;Economic Solutions&#8221; lists the ten major             shareholders of the Federal Reserve Bank System as: Rothschild:             London and Berlin; Lazard Bros: Paris; Israel Seiff: Italy; Kuhn-             Loeb Company: Germany; Warburg: Hamburg and Amsterdam; Lehman Bros:             New York; Goldman and Sachs: New York; Rockefeller: New York. (That             most, if not all of these families just happen to be Jewish, you             may judge the significance of yourself). The balance of stock is             owned by major commercial member banks.</p>
<p>According to Devvy Kidd, &#8220;Why A Bankrupt America?&#8221; The Federal             Reserve pays the Bureau of Engraving &amp; Printing approximately             $23 for each 1,000 notes printed. 10,000 $100 notes (one million             dollars) would thus cost the Federal Reserve $230. They then secure             a pledge of collateral equal to the face value from the U.S.             government. The collateral is our land, labor, and assets&#8230;             collected by their agents, the IRS. By authorizing the Fed to             regulate and create money (and thus inflation), Congress gave             private banks power to create profits at will.</p>
<p>As Lindberg put it: &#8220;The new law will create inflation whenever the             trusts want inflation&#8230;they can unload the stocks on the people at             high prices during the excitement and then bring on a panic and buy             them back at low prices&#8230;the day of reckoning is only a few years             removed.&#8221; That day came in 1929, with the Stock Market crash and             Great Depression.</p>
<p>One of the most important powers given to the Fed was the right to             buy and sell government securities, and provide loans to member             banks so they might also purchase them. This provided another             built-in mechanism for profit to the banks, if government debt was             increased. All that was needed was a method to pay off the debt.             This was accomplished through the passage of the income tax in             1913.</p>
<p>A national income tax was declared unconstitutional in 1895 by the             Supreme Court, so a constitutional amendment was proposed in             Congress by none other than &#8230;Senator Nelson Aldrich. As presented             to the American people it seemed reasonable enough: income tax on             only one percent of income under $20,000, with the assurance that             it would never increase.</p>
<p>Since it was graduated, the tax would &#8220;soak the rich&#8221;, &#8230;but the             rich had other plans, already devising a method of protecting             wealth. As described by Gary Allen in his 1976 book &#8220;The             Rockefeller File,&#8221; &#8220;By the time the (16th) Amendment had been             approved by the states, the Rockefeller Foundation was in full             operation&#8230;about the same time that Judge Kenesaw Landis was             ordering the breakup of the Standard Oil monopoly&#8230;John D&#8230;not             only avoided taxes by creating four great tax-exempt foundations;             he used them as repositories for his &#8216;divested&#8217; interests&#8230;made             his assets non-taxable so that they might be passed down through             generations without&#8230;estate and gift taxes&#8230;Each year the             Rockefellers can dump up to half their incomes into their pet             foundations and deduct the &#8220;donations&#8221; from their income tax.&#8221;</p>
<p>Exchanging ownership for control of wealth, foundations are also a             handy means for promoting interests that benefit the wealthy.             Millions of foundation dollars have been &#8220;donated&#8221; to causes such             as promoting the use of drugs, while degrading preventive medicine.             Since many drugs are made from coal tar derivatives, both oil             companies and drug manufacturing concerns (many Rockefeller owned             or controlled) are the main beneficiaries.</p>
<p>With the means to loan enormous sums to the government (the Federal             Reserve), a method to repay the debt (income tax), and an escape             from taxation for the wealthy, (foundations), all that remained was             an excuse to borrow money. By some happy &#8220;coincidence,&#8221; in 1914             World War I began, and after American participation national debt             rose from $1 billion to $25 billion.</p>
<p>Woodrow Wilson was elected President in 1913, beating incumbent             William Howard Taft, who had vowed to veto legislation establishing             a central bank. To divide the Republican vote and elect the             relatively unknown Wilson, J.P. Morgan and Co. poured money into             the candidacy of Teddy Roosevelt and his Progressive Party.</p>
<p>According to an eyewitness, Wilson was brought to Democratic Party             headquarters in 1912 by Bernard Baruch, a wealthy banker. He             received an &#8220;indoctrination course&#8221; from those he met, and in             return agreed, if elected: to support the projected Federal Reserve             and the income tax, and &#8220;listen&#8221; to advice in case of war in Europe             and on the composition of his cabinet.</p>
<p>Wilson&#8217;s top advisor during his two terms was a man named Colonel             Edward M. House. House&#8217;s biographer, Charles Seymour, called him             the &#8220;unseen guardian angel&#8221; of the Federal Reserve Act, helping to             guide it through Congress. Another biographer wrote that House             believed: &#8220;&#8230;the Constitution, product of eighteenth-century             minds&#8230;was thoroughly outdated; that the country would be better             off if the Constitution could be scrapped and rewritten&#8230;&#8221; House             wrote a book entitled &#8220;Philip Dru: Administrator,&#8221; published             anonymously in 1912. The hero, Philip Dru, rules America and             introduces radical changes, such as a graduated income tax, a             central bank, and a &#8220;league of nations.&#8221;</p>
<p>World War I produced both a large national debt, and huge profits             for those who had backed Wilson. Baruch was appointed head of the             War Industries Board, where he exercised dictatorial power over the             national economy. He and the Rockefellers were reported to have             earned over $200 million during the war. Wilson backer Cleveland             Dodge sold munitions to the allies, while J.P. Morgan loaned them             hundreds of millions, with the protection of U.S. entry into the             war.</p>
<p>While profit was certainly a motive, the war was also useful to             justify the notion of world government. William Hoar reveals in             &#8220;Architects of Conspiracy&#8221; that during the 1950s, government             investigators examining the records of the Carnegie Endowment for             International Peace, a long- time promoter of globalism, found that             several years before the outbreak of World War I, the Carnegie             trustees were planning to involve the U.S. in a general war, to set             the stage for world government.</p>
<p>The main obstacle was that Americans did not want any involvement             in European wars. Some kind of incident, such as the explosion of             the battleship Main, which provoked the Spanish &#8211; American war,             would have to be provided as provocation. This occurred when the             Lusitania, carrying 128 Americans on board, was sunk by a German             submarine, and anti-German sentiment was aroused. When war was             declared, U.S. propaganda portrayed all Germans as Huns and fanged             serpents, and all Americans opposing the war as traitors.</p>
<p>What was not revealed at the time, however, was that the Lusitania             was transporting war munitions to England, making it a legitimate             target for the Germans. Even so, they had taken out large ads in             the New York papers, asking that Americans not take passage on the             ship.</p>
<p>The evidence seems to point to a deliberate plan to have the ship             sunk by the Germans. Colin Simpson, author of &#8220;The Lusitania,&#8221;             wrote that Winston Churchill, head of the British Admiralty during             the war, had ordered a report to predict the political impact if a             passenger ship carrying Americans was sunk. German naval codes had             been broken by the British, who knew approximately where all             U-boats near the British Isles were located.</p>
<p>According to Simpson, Commander Joseph Kenworthy, of British Naval             Intelligence, stated: &#8220;The Lusitania was deliberately sent at             considerably reduced speed into an area where a U-boat was known to             be waiting&#8230;escorts withdrawn.&#8221; Thus, even though Wilson had been             reelected in 1916 with the slogan &#8220;He kept us out of war,&#8221; America             soon found itself fighting a European war. Actually, Colonel House             had already negotiated a secret agreement with England, committing             the U.S. to the conflict. It seems the American public had little             say in the matter.</p>
<p>With the end of the war and the Versailles Treaty, which required             severe war reparations from Germany, the way was paved for a leader             in Germany such as Hitler. Wilson brought to the Paris Peace             Conference his famous &#8220;fourteen points,&#8221; with point fourteen being             a proposal for a &#8220;general association of nations,&#8221; which was to be             the first step towards the goal of One World Government-the League             of Nations.</p>
<p>Wilson&#8217;s official biographer, Ray Stannard Baker, revealed that the             League was not Wilson&#8217;s idea. &#8220;&#8230;not a single idea&#8211;in the             Covenant of the League was original with the President.&#8221; Colonel             House was the author of the Covenant, and Wilson had merely             rewritten it to conform to his own phraseology.</p>
<p>The League of Nations was established, but it, and the plan for             world government eventually failed because the U.S. Senate would             not ratify the Versailles Treaty.</p>
<p>Pat Robertson, in &#8220;The New World Order,&#8221; states that Colonel House,             along with other internationalists, realized that America would not             join any scheme for world government without a change in public             opinion.</p>
<p>After a series of meetings, it was decided that an &#8220;Institute of             International Affairs&#8221;, with two branches, in the United States and             England, would be formed.</p>
<p>The British branch became known as the Royal Institute of             International Affairs, with leadership provided by members of the             Round Table. Begun in the late 1800&#8217;s by Cecil Rhodes, the Round             Table aimed to federate the English speaking peoples of the world,             and bring it under their rule.</p>
<p>The Council on Foreign Relations was incorporated as the American             branch in New York on July 29, 1921. Founding members included             Colonel House, and &#8220;&#8230;such potentates of international banking as             J.P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Paul Warburg, Otto Kahn, and             Jacob Schiff&#8230;the same clique which had engineered the             establishment of the Federal Reserve System,&#8221; according to Gary             Allen in the October 1972 issue of &#8220;AMERICAN OPINION.&#8221;</p>
<p>The founding president of the CFR was John W. Davis, J.P. Morgan&#8217;s             personal attorney, while the vice-president was Paul Cravath, also             representing the Morgan interests. Professor Carroll Quigley             characterized the CFR as &#8220;&#8230;a front group for J.P. Morgan and             Company in association with the very small American Round Table             Group.&#8221; Over time Morgan influence was lost to the Rockefellers,             who found that one world government fit their philosophy of             business well. As John D. Rockefeller, Sr. had said: &#8220;Competition             is a sin,&#8221; and global monopoly fit their needs as they grew             internationally.</p>
<p>Antony Sutton, a research fellow for the Hoover Institution for             War, Revolution, and Peace at Stanford University, wrote of this             philosophy: &#8220;While monopoly control of industries was once the             objective of J.P. Morgan and J.D. Rockefeller, by the late             nineteenth century the inner sanctums of Wall Street understood the             most efficient way to gain an unchallenged monopoly was to &#8216;go             political&#8217; and make society go to work for the monopolists&#8211; under             the name of the public good and the public interest.&#8221;</p>
<p>Frederick C. Howe revealed the strategy of using government in a             1906 book, &#8220;Confessions of a Monopolist&#8221;: &#8220;These are the rules of             big business&#8230;Get a monopoly; let society work for you; and             remember that the best of all business is politics&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>As corporations went international, national monopolies could no             longer protect their interests. What was needed was a one world             system of government controlled from behind the scenes. This had             been the plan since the time of Colonel House, and to implement it,             it was necessary to weaken the U.S. politically and economically.</p>
<p>During the 1920&#8217;s, America enjoyed a decade of prosperity, fueled             by the easy availability of credit. Between 1923 and 1929 the             Federal Reserve expanded the money supply by sixty-two percent.             When the stock market crashed, many small investors were ruined,             but not &#8220;insiders.&#8221; In March of 1929 Paul Warburg issued a tip the             Crash was coming, and the largest investors got out of the market,             according to Allen and Abraham in &#8220;None Dare Call it Conspiracy.&#8221;</p>
<p>With their fortunes intact, they were able to buy companies for a             fraction of their worth. Shares that had sold for a dollar might             now cost a nickel, and the buying power, and wealth, of the rich             increased enormously.</p>
<p>Louis McFadden, Chairman of the House Banking Committee declared:             &#8220;It was not accidental. It was a carefully contrived             occurrence&#8230;The international bankers sought to bring about a             condition of despair here so that they might emerge as rulers of us             all.&#8221;</p>
<p>Curtis Dall, son-in-law of FDR and a syndicate manager for Lehman             Brothers, an investment firm, was on the N.Y. Stock Exchange floor             the day of the crash. In &#8220;FDR: My Exploited Father-In-Law,&#8221; he             states: &#8220;&#8230;it was the calculated &#8217;shearing&#8217; of the public by the             World-Money powers triggered by the planned sudden shortage of call             money in the New York Market.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Crash paved the way for the man Wall Street had groomed for the             presidency, FDR. Portrayed as a &#8220;man of the little people&#8221;, the             reality was that Roosevelt&#8217;s family had been involved in New York             banking since the eighteenth century.</p>
<p>Frederic Delano, FDR&#8217;s uncle, served on the original Federal             Reserve Board. FDR attended Groton and Harvard, and in the 1920&#8217;s             worked on Wall Street, sitting on the board of directors of eleven             different corporations.</p>
<p>Dall wrote of his father-in-law: &#8220;&#8230;Most of his thoughts, his             political &#8216;ammunition,&#8217;&#8230;were carefully manufactured for him in             advance by the CFR-One World Money group. Brilliantly&#8230; he             exploded that prepared &#8216;ammunition&#8217; in the middle of an             unsuspecting target, the American people&#8211;and thus paid off and             retained his internationalist political support.&#8221;</p>
<p>Taking America off the gold standard in 1934, FDR opened the way to             unrestrained money supply expansion, decades of inflation&#8211;and             credit revenues for banks. Raising gold prices from $20 an ounce to             $35, FDR and Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau, Jr. (son of a             founding CFR member), gave international bankers huge profits.</p>
<p>FDR&#8217;s most remembered program, the New Deal, could only be financed             through heavy borrowing. In effect, those who had caused the             Depression loaned America the money to recover from it. Then,             through the National Recovery Administration, proposed by Bernard             Baruch in 1930, they were put in charge of regulating the economy.             FDR appointed Baruch disciple Hugh Johnson to run the NRA, assisted             by CFR member Gerard Swope. With broad powers to regulate wages,             prices, and working conditions, it was, as Herbert Hoover wrote in             his memoirs: &#8220;&#8230;pure fascism;&#8230;merely a remaking of Mussolini&#8217;s             &#8216;corporate state&#8217;&#8230;&#8221; The Supreme Court eventually ruled the NRA             unconstitutional.</p>
<p>During the FDR years, the Council on Foreign Relations captured the             political life of the U.S. Besides Treasury Secretary Morgenthau,             other CFR members included Secretary of State Edward Stettinus, War             Secretary Henry Stimson, and Assistant Secretary of State Sumner             Welles.</p>
<p>Since 1934 almost every United States Secretary of State has been a             CFR member; and ALL Secretaries of War or Defense, from Henry L.             Stimson through Richard Cheney.</p>
<p>The CIA has been under CFR control almost continuously since its             creation, starting with Allen Dulles, founding member of the CFR             and brother of Secretary of State under President Eisenhower, John             Foster Dulles. Allen Dulles had been at the Paris Peace Conference,             joined the CFR in 1926, and later became its president.</p>
<p>John Foster Dulles had been one of Woodrow Wilson&#8217;s young proteges             at the Paris Peace Conference. A founding member of the CFR&#8230;he             was an in-law of the Rockefellers, Chairman of the Board of the             Rockefeller Foundation, and Board Chairman of the Carnegie             Endowment for International Peace.</p>
<p>In 1940 FDR defeated internationalist Wendell Willkie, who wrote a             book entitled &#8220;One World,&#8221; and later became a CFR member.             Congressman Usher Burdick protested at the time on the floor of the             House that Willkie was being financed by J.P. Morgan and the New             York utility bankers. Polls showed few Republicans favored him, yet             the media portrayed him as THE Republican candidate.</p>
<p>Since that time nearly ALL presidential candidates have been CFR             members. President Truman, who was not a member, was advised by a             group of &#8220;wise men,&#8221; all six of whom were CFR members, according to             Gary Allen. In 1952 and 1956, CFR Adlai Stevenson challenged CFR             Eisenhower.</p>
<p>In 1960, CFR Kennedy (who was probably killed because he had the             courage NOT to go along with all their plans) CFR Nixon. In 1964             the GOP stunned the Establishment by nominating its candidate over             Nelson Rockefeller.</p>
<p>Rockefeller and the CFR wing proceeded to picture Barry Goldwater             as a dangerous radical. In 1968 CFR Nixon ran against CFR Humphrey.             The 1972 &#8220;contest&#8221; featured CFR Nixon vs. CFR McGovern.</p>
<p>CFR candidates for president include George McGovern, Walter             Mondale, Edmund Muskie, John Anderson, and Lloyd Bentsen. In 1976             we had Jimmy Carter, who is a member of the Trilateral Commission,             created by David Rockefeller and CFR member Zbigniew Brzezinski             with the goal of economic linkage between Japan, Europe, and the             United States, and: &#8220;&#8230;managing the world economy&#8230;a smooth and             peaceful evolution of the global system.&#8221; We have also had (though             his name strangely disappears from the membership list in 1979) CFR             director (1977-79) George Bush, and last but not least, CFR member             Bill Clinton.</p>
<p>They have all promoted the &#8220;New World Order,&#8221; controlled by the             United Nations. The problem is that &#8220;&#8230;the present United Nations             organization is actually the creation of the CFR and is housed on             land in Manhattan donated to it by the family of current CFR             chairman David Rockefeller,&#8221; as Pat Robertson describes it.</p>
<p>The original concept for the UN was the outcome of the Informal             Agenda Group, formed in 1943 by Secretary of State Cordell Hull.             All except Hull were CFR members, and Isaiah Bowman, a founding             member of the CFR, originated the idea.</p>
<p>The American delegation to the San Francisco meeting that drafted             the charter of the United Nations in 1949 included CFR members             Nelson Rockefeller, John Foster Dulles, John McCloy, and CFR             members who were communist agents&#8211;Harry Dexter White, Owen             Lattimore, and the Secretary-General of the conference, Alger Hiss.             In all, the Council sent forty-seven of its members in the United             States delegation, effectively controlling the outcome.</p>
<p>Since that time the CFR and its friends in the mass media (largely             controlled by CFR members such as Katherine Graham of the             &#8220;Washington Post&#8221; and Henry Luce of&#8221; Time, Life&#8221;), foundations, and             political groups have lobbied consistently to grant the United             Nations more authority and power. Bush and the Gulf War were but             one of the latest calls for a &#8220;New World Order.&#8221;</p>
<p>Admiral Chester Ward, a member of the CFR for over a decade, became             one of its harshest critics, revealing its inner workings in a 1975             book, &#8220;Kissinger ON THE COUCH.&#8221; In it he states &#8220;The most powerful             cliques in these elitist groups have one objective in common: they             want to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty and national             independence of the United States.&#8221;</p>
<p>Most members are one-world-government ideologists whose long- term             goals were officially summed up in September 1961 State Department             Document 7277, adopted by the Nixon Administration: &#8220;&#8230;elimination             of all armed forces and armaments except those needed to maintain             internal order within states and to furnish the United Nations with             peace forces&#8230;by the time it (UN global government) would be so             strong no nation could challenge it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Within the CFR there exists a &#8220;much smaller group but more             powerful&#8230;made up of Wall Street international bankers and their             key agents. Primarily, they want the world banking monopoly from             whatever power ends up in control of the global government &#8230;This             CFR faction is headed by the Rockefeller brothers,&#8221; according to             Ward.</p>
<p>What must be remembered is that this is not some lunatic- fringe             group&#8230;these are members of one of the most powerful private             organizations in the world: the people who determine and control             American economic, social, political, and military policy. Members&#8217;             influence and control extends to &#8220;leaders in academia, public             service, business, and the media,&#8221; according to the CFR 1993             &#8220;Annual Report.&#8221;</p>
<p>Their founding they describe as: &#8220;American Participants in the             Paris Peace Conference decided that it was time for more private             Americans to become familiar with the increasing responsibilities             and obligations of the United States&#8230;there was a need for an             organization able to provide for the continuous study of U.S.             foreign police for the BENEFIT OF ITS MEMBERS (emphasis mine) and a             wider audience of interested Americans.&#8221;</p>
<p>They sponsor hundreds of programs, where members &#8220;exchange views             with American and foreign officials and policy experts&#8230; discuss             foreign policy issues&#8230;consider international issues of concern to             the business community&#8221; (Corporate business), and &#8220;&#8230;affiliated             groups of community leaders throughout the United states&#8230;meet             with decision makers.&#8221;</p>
<p>The CFR states that it is &#8220;host to many views, advocate of none,&#8221;             and it &#8220;has no affiliation with the U.S. government.&#8221; No, no             affiliation at all, if you don&#8217;t count: &#8220;A Council member was             elected president of the United States&#8230;Dozens of other Council             colleagues were called to serve in cabinet and sub-cabinet             positions,&#8221; as they describe it in &#8220;Foreign Affairs,&#8221; along with             many members of Congress, the Supreme Court, the Joint Chiefs, the             Federal Reserve, and many other Federal bureaucrats.</p>
<p>They are not AFFILIATED with government, they ARE the government,             in effect.</p>
<p>One re-occurring view was stated in the 50th anniversary issue of             &#8220;<a href="http://www.foreignaffairs.org/">Foreign Affairs</a>,&#8221; the             official publication of the CFR. In an article by Kingman Brewster,             Jr. entitled &#8220;Reflections on Our National Purpose.&#8221; Our purpose             should be, according to him, to do away with our nationality, to             &#8220;take some risks in order to invite others to pool their             sovereignty with ours&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>These &#8220;risks&#8221; include disarming to the point where we would be             helpless against the &#8220;peace-keeping&#8221; forces of a global UN             government. We should happily surrender our sovereignty to the             world government in the interests of the &#8220;world community.&#8221;</p>
<p>Today we have the spectacle of Spc. 4 Michael New, a U.S. soldier             in Germany who refuses to wear the uniform of the UN, facing an             &#8220;administrative discharge.&#8221; He states rightly that he swore an oath             to defend the U.S. Constitution, not the United Nations. Many other             Americans have taken that same oath, such as myself, and believe it             is our sworn duty still to defend the Constitution, since an oath             sworn before God must be fulfilled. (Why else do we swear to tell             the truth in our courts, or when taking public office?) Is it a             crime these days to actually BELIEVE in God and the oath that was             taken?</p>
<p>Meanwhile, others who attempt to destroy the Constitution and our             sovereignty are given honors and position&#8230;At least they are not             hypocrites&#8230;only supremely arrogant.</p>
<p>&#8220;In short, the &#8216;house of world order&#8217; will have to be built from             the bottom up rather than from the top down&#8230;An end run around             national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish             much more than the old fashioned assault&#8230;&#8221; in the opinion of             Richard N. Gardner, former deputy assistant Secretary of State in             &#8220;Foreign Affairs,&#8221; April 1974.</p>
<p>James Warburg, son of CFR founder Paul Warburg, and a member of             FDR&#8217;s &#8220;brain trust,&#8221; testified before the Senate Foreign Relations             Committee on February 17, 1950, &#8220;We shall have world government             whether or not you like it&#8211;by conquest or consent.&#8221;</p>
<p>Is this an AMERICAN speaking, or a dangerous lunatic? Who is this             &#8220;We&#8221; who threatens to CONQUER us?</p>
<p>They are a group that actually has the power to do it, and is doing             it every day, bit by bit.</p>
<p>CFR Members in the mass media, education, and entertainment push             their propaganda of &#8220;humanism&#8221; and world brotherhood. We should all             live in peace under a world government, and forget about such             selfish things as nationalities and patriotism. We can solve our             own problems. We don&#8217;t need God, or morals, or values: it&#8217;s all             relative, anyway, right?&#8230;Because if we actually had some moral             character and values, we might be able to discern that these people             are actually EVIL.</p>
<p>The Bible says that the LOVE of money is the root of all evil (1             Tim. 6:10). These people are evil because they love money and             power, and greed drives them to do anything to achieve their goals.             They have lost all morality and conscience, and believe such             concepts, as well as our Constitution, &#8220;outdated&#8221;.</p>
<p>THAT is insanity&#8211;to have more wealth than can be spent, and still             it is never enough. They have to control governments, start wars,             conspire to rule the world; least the &#8220;common people&#8221; wake up to             how they have gained their wealth, take it away from them, and             demand that they pay the price for their crimes.</p>
<p>That is why they constantly pit us one against the other, with             &#8220;Diversity,&#8221; Affirmative Action, and other programs,&#8230;black             against white, men against women, rural against urban, ranchers             against environmentalists, and on and on&#8230;least we look in their             direction.</p>
<p>We The People are held to a much higher standard. If we threaten             the President or a public official, we are charged with a             crime&#8230;yet the One-World-Gang can threaten the Constitution and             the liberties of We The People, the sovereign rulers of this             nation, and nothing is said or done.</p>
<p>Perhaps they do not fear what Man can do to them&#8230; they believe             they have arranged everything, and their power and wealth will             prevail in this world. However, those among them who have sworn an             oath before God to uphold and defend the Constitution: the             President, members of Congress, and the military; may find one day             that they do indeed have something to fear.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mega.nu:8080/ampp/roundtable/CFRA-Elist.html">List             of CFR Members</a></p>
<p>Colonel House, the fallen angel, still has relatives controlling             the CFR. Karen Elliot House is Chairman of the Membership             Committee, and a member of the Nominating Committee, along with             Jeane Kirkpatrick. David Rockefeller is now &#8220;Honorary Chairman of             the Board&#8221;, after serving as Chairman 1970-1985; and &#8220;Director             Emeritus,&#8221; after serving as a Director 1949-1985. Peter G. Peterson             is Chairman, Admiral B. R. Inman is Vice Chairman, while Thomas             Foley and Jeane Kirkpatrick are Directors serving on the Executive             Committee.</p>
<p>These &#8220;private citizens&#8221; have access to government officials and             policy makers as often as they wish, yet the results of their             meetings can only be given to other government officials, corporate             officers, or law partners. Participants are forbidden to transmit             an attributed statement to any public medium, such as newspapers or             TV, where there is &#8220;risk that it will promptly be widely circulated             or published,&#8221; as the &#8220;Annual Report&#8221; puts it.</p>
<p>Should not OUR public officials be forbidden to meet in secret with             private groups? Public officials should only be allowed to discuss             public business and policy in a public forum. The Public&#8230;remember             US?</p>
<p>There is much more to say about this group and their plans for             America. Gary Allen, in &#8220;The Rockefeller File,&#8221; states that they             are behind the many regional government plans, which would abolish             city, county, and state lines, leaving us at the mercy of federal             bureaucrats; and behind the push for &#8220;land use&#8221; controls. They want             &#8220;federal control of everything. Since they intend to control the             federal government&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>There are also the many allegations of involvement in gun running,             drug smuggling, prostitution and sex slaves; and the many             mysterious assassinations and &#8220;suicides&#8221; of witnesses and others             who get too close to the truth&#8230;but that is another story.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>The Main Stream Media has continued to push political agendas, recently more obviously then ever! The problem is: What news station is going to report negatively on itself?</p>
<p>Six corporations own and operate EVERYTHING we see on TV 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. They include General Electric (NBC), Westinghouse (CBS), Viacom, Disney (ABC), Time-Warner (TBS-AOL), and News Corp. (FOX), or &#8220;Faux&#8221; News if you will. So everything we see and hear is at the will of 6 corporations? That doesn&#8217;t sound &#8220;Fair and Balanced&#8221; to me&#8230; You decide:</p>
<p>It is also important to note what else these corporations are involved with. You won&#8217;t ever see this report come out of Sean Hannity&#8217;s mouth.</p>
<p>General Electric (NBC) &#8211; AKA MSNBC, the MS stands for Microsoft who is joint owner of the company. MS donated 2.4 million to get George W. Bush elected. Other important holdings to mention: GE Plastics &#8211; produces military hardware and nuclear power equipment, GE Power Systems &#8211; Produces turbines for nuclear reactors.</p>
<p>Westinghouse (CBS) &#8211;  Board of directors includes Frank Carlucci of the infamous Carlye Group (the elite group of investors making billions apon billions off of the War in Iraq). Other important holdings to mention: Westinghouse Electric Company &#8211; provides services to the nuclear power industry. Westinghouse Government Environmental Services Company &#8211; disposes of nuclear and hazardous wastes. Also operates 4 government-owned nuclear power plants in the US. Energy Systems &#8211; provides nuclear power plant design and maintenance.</p>
<p>Disney (ABC) &#8211; donated 640,000 to George W. Major shareholder of Sid R. Bass &#8211; crude oil and gas.</p>
<p>News Corp. (FOX) &#8211; Fox&#8217;s worldwide cable and satallite network includes, Fox Television (22 stations in 50% of U.S households), British Sky Broadcasting (40%); VOX, Germany (49.9%); Canal Fox, Latin America; FOXTEL, Australia (50%); STAR TV, Asia; IskyB, India; Bahasa Programming Ltd., Indonesia (50%); and News Broadcasting, Japan (80%). News Corp. owns more then 132 News Papers and 25 magazines world wide! Phillip Morris(owned by News Corp.) donated almost 3 million to George W.&#8217;s campaign.</p>
<p>Now let me ask you, do you consider yourself an intelligent person? Could there not be just a small bias towards corporate candidates for President, or the pushing of corporate agendas? The majority of Americans over age 30 get there news from the television. What we know as free media is nonexistent. The exception to the rule is the internet, where there are numbers of independent News sources.</p>
<p>Yes the internet, the only place you can get the real  news! Without it, I would never be able to post this! The government is in the process of trying to put restrictions on the internet. If your still reading, I&#8217;m hoping I&#8217;ve spurred your interest just a tad&#8230;</p>
<p>Presidential &#8220;Spoiler&#8221;(according to Fox) Ron Paul continues to be shed in a horrible light on News Network after News Network. The question you may be asking, What are they afraid of?</p>
<p>The first and most obvious: The release of the stranglehold they&#8217;ve had on the American people for the past decades&#8230;</p>
<p>Second would be attributed to Ron Paul&#8217;s policies, which support the MIDDLE CLASS and LOWER CLASS of America.</p>
<p>Lastly, Ron Paul&#8217;s foreign policy of non-intervention and pulling American soldiers off of foreign soil. Media outlets and defense contractors will no longer be able to make the billions upon billions they&#8217;ve made with the outbreak of War.</p>
<p>Now, earlier I asked if you consider yourself an intelligent person. Could you even fathom that the media has put Americans in a bubble, totally oblivious of what is going on in the rest of the world. By doing internet research, the conclusion can be very grim. I am only showing you the tip of the iceberg. I can&#8217;t stress that enough, this is only THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.</p>
<p>Presidential hopeful Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate not bought out by corporations, lobbyists, and most important of all, the media. YOU ARE NOT GETTING FAIR COVERAGE OF ALL THE CANDIDATES. THE MESSAGE IS BEING CENSORED, WAKE UP!</p>
<p>Ron Paul has raised almost 20 million dollars from American citizens like me and you, all across the nation in the fourth quarter of 2007 ALONE. His message of liberty is getting out. He has tens of thousands of meetup.com members (strikingly more then any other candidate), almost more youtube subscribers then ALL THE OTHER CANDIDATES COMBINED, and grassroots campaigns that put all the other candidates to shame.</p>
<p>Most MSM watching Americans think Ron Paul has no shot at seeking the Republican nomination. Yet, Ron Paul has continued to poll higher then any other candidate in online polls(the ones the media can&#8217;t tamper with). All I&#8217;m asking you, intelligent human being, is to do your own research. Educate yourself on the issues, because the REAL issues are not being broadcasted through your TV.</p>
<p>Fox News has recently decided to exclude Ron Paul from the upcoming forum in New Hampshire on January 6th, just two days before the NH primary. Here&#8217;s an excellent video proving Fox news&#8217;s censorship of Paul&#8217;s message.</p>
<p>http://youtube.com/watch?v=dKeBwMuzKK0</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s another video worth 5 minutes of your time, blatant censorship of Ron Paul:</p>
<p>http://youtube.com/watch?v=vXkleE1ttD4</p>
<p>Now you can go to www.youtube.com yourself and find hundreds of videos showing media censorship.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to end this first message as a plea. I beg you, intelligent American citizen, to open your eyes to the deceptions around you. Do research on the internet, the last place on earth we have free, unbiased, media.</p>
<p>Check out Ron Paul&#8217;s issues on his website: www.ronpaul2008.com &#8211; You are most likely a supporter and don&#8217;t even know it. I myself didn&#8217;t until this past month!<br />
I say we give peace a try, huh?</p>
