I would like to ask to be allowed to make an assertion regarding the CFR that, while on point, may offend some people here. If it does, forgive me. I take this liberty because I am offended by the very existence of the CFR, it's structure, it's membership, and it's truly evil manner of exercising power.

The CFR is only part of a larger organization, this is self-proclaimed so I am hoping I won't have to go into great detail. Suffice to say that the way the CFR is 'integrated' into a larger set of organizations is for some reason never brought to light by the media in it's reports and commentaries.

The CFR is an 'exclusive' organization, which is to say that no one can be privy to its proceedings, agendas, minutes of meetings, nor activities unless so 'decreed' by the senior 'core' of it's leadership. Again, this fact seems to elude the publics' attention. It is also unusual that even the 'casual' members of this 'club' decry ignorance when confronted with the fact that the CFR leadership are 'subordinate' to other organizations - equally, if not more so, restrictive and secret regarding membership and agenda.

The stream of 'revelations' by former members and critics alike regarding the actual 'efforts' made by the CFR and the eventual 'goal' remains oddly obscured by the lighthearted way she is presented by members (including media - now also members via 'corporate' channels).

People, please explain why an otherwise 'harmless' or even 'benevolent' organization would have to HIDE to conduct their 'good works?' What is it with people to fail to see that organizations like the CFR protect themselves from full disclosure the same way organized crime does?

At the very best the organization is a manifestation of the notion that an 'elite' group of people exist, and their self-proclaimed superiority motivates them to play puppeteer with the public interest.

At the very worst the CFR is the dreaded malevolent self-serving monstrosity that claimed control of as much of the nation as it could, to perpetuate it's own 'manifest destiny' to rule despite the self-determinism this nation was founded upon. It's parent and peer organizations are doing so to the remainder of the world, while we quibble about club-members and witty remarks about internet conspiracy theorists.

The illustrious Rhodes made it clear that he and those he served believed it was their place in the world to lead - others were lesser beings to be led - and his legacy runs through the CFR like it's very blood. The really pathetic members are the one's fro whom the prestige of belonging blinds them to their complicity in an agenda they won't even deign to inquire about. As Mr. Rockefeller said, 'why should we care about the people? They don't matter, They'll believe whatever we tell them to." - or something to that effect.

I guess the real point of this thread is to point out that we are being dealt an illusion that we will be getting someone that will fix things and save us when in the end it is nothing new and the game is still in play.When we the people say we want something new ....we don't mean a new face...We mean a new way of running things( policies, what have you) for the betterment of Americans and mankind.

How many ways can you interpret his book except for one. That there is an establishment that is ruling politics and economics as we speak.

Did he regret that he wrote the book, or is it just that he didn't want to be guilty by association? That he didn't want to be associated with conspiracy theorists, even though he documented facts about a huge conspiracy?
