Ten Real Reasons to Fear Obama: #7


7. The Council on Foreign Relations

"The one thing I'm sure of is, events will test (Barak Obama). … There will be coups. … There will be genocide. … There will be terrorism."
Richard Haass, President, Council on Foreign Relations

In the past century, the United States has witnessed a new branch of the government gestate and mature. In addition to the legislative, judicial, and executive, we now boast a policy production branch, separate from the legislature. Commonly called Think Tanks, a vast infrastructure of councils and advisory boards now directly authors the vast majority of policy presented to and enacted by congress.

Among think tanks, none dominates American Foreign Policy like the monolithic Council on Foreign Relations. Notable members since its inception include: Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Dick Cheney, Condoleeza Rice, Paul Wolfowitz, Colon Powell, Al Gore, John Kerry, John Rockefeller, David Rockefeller, Nelson Rockefeller, Alan Greenspan, Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinsk, Madeline Albright, and Angelina Jolie.

The C.F.R.'s Corporate membership includes Dubai's Halliburton, British Petroleum, Dutch Royal Shell, Exxon Mobile, General Electric, Chevron, Lockheed Martin, Merck Pharmaceuticals, News Corp, Bloomberg, IBM, Time Warner, and JP Morgan/ Chase Manhattan among many others.

These individuals and organizations, meet together in private to author legislation, launch media initiatives (G.E. and News Corp. own NBC and Fox, respectively), and literally plan the future livelihood of the American People, with NO accountability, transparency, or oversight.

These same people and policies brought you the Mujaheddin(a.k.a Al Qaeda), the Iran Contras, the terrorists wars in Nicaragua, Cuba, El Salvador, and Columbia, the Iraq Wars (I & II), and the wars in Afghanistan, (the Soviet Occupation, in response to American Foreign Policy, and the Coalition Occupation, as implementation of American Foreign Policy) and other unspeakable things.

Obama's mentor and adviser Zbignew Brezinski, served as Carter's Foreign Policy Adviser, and sat on the C.F.R. for decades. His policies armed, funded, and trained the Mujaheddin in Afghanistan, and led DIRECTLY to the attacks of September 2001.

The Council, which is based in New York, established satellite councils around the country. One was the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, established 1922, now called the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. One, now prominent member of the group is the future First Lady, Michelle Obama.

The C.F.R. is just one of many organizations which have recklessly pursued globalization and standardization at all costs. They've supported every Free Trade agreement ever passed by our government, and even authored some, resulting in an economic collapse not seen since the 1930s. Watch Prominent C.F.R. member David Rockefeller question former C.F.R. Director Dick Cheney, about trade agreements:



This council has endorsed and guided the direction of our society for decades, and Obama stands poised to surround himself with its members and operatives. A list of likely C.F.R. appointments by Obama, compiled by acclaimed British journalist Steve Watson, include

Susan E. Rice - Council on Foreign Relations, The Brookings Institution - Served as Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs under Clinton from 1997 to 2001. Former Secretary of State Madeline Albright is a longtime mentor and family friend to Rice. Critics charge that she is is ill disposed towards Europe, has little understanding of the Middle East and would essentially follow the same policies of Condoleeza Rice if appointed the next Secretary of State or the National Security Adviser.

Anthony Lake - CFR, PNAC - Bill Clinton’s first national security adviser, who was criticized for the administration’s failure to confront the genocide in Rwanda in 1994 and now acknowledges the inaction as a major mistake.

Zbigniew Brzezinski - CFR, Trilateral Commission - Brzezinski is widely seen as the man who created Al Qaeda, and was involved in the Carter Administration plan to give arms, funding and training to the mujahideen in Afghanistan.

Richard Clarke - CFR - Former chief counter-terrorism adviser on the U.S. National Security Council under Bush. Notoriously turned against the Bush administration after 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq. Also advised Madeleine Albright during the Genocide in Rwanda.

Ivo Daalder - CFR, Brookings, PNAC - Co-authored a Washington Post op-ed with neocon Robert Kagan arguing that interventionism is a bipartisan affair that should be undertaken with the approval of our democratic allies.

Dennis Ross - CFR, Trilateral Commission, PNAC - Served as the director for policy planning in the State Department under President George H. W. Bush and special Middle East coordinator under President Bill Clinton. A noted supporter of the Iraq war, Ross is also a Foreign Affairs Analyst for the Fox News Channel.

Lawrence Korb - CFR, Brookings - Director of National Security Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. Has criticized manor of the invasion of Iraq but has detailed plans to increase the manpower of the United States Army to fight the war on terror and to "spread liberal democratic values throughout the Middle East".

Bruce Reidel - CFR, Brookings - Former CIA analyst who wishes to expand the war on terror to fight Al Qaeda across the globe. Considered to be the reason behind Barack Obama’s Hawkish views on Pakistan and his Pro India leanings on Kashmir.

Stephen Flynn - CFR - Has been attributed with the idea for Obama’s much vaunted "Civilian Security Force". Flynn has written: "The United States should roughly replicate the Federal Reserve model by creating a Federal Security Reserve System (FSRS) with a national board of governors, 10 regional Homeland Security Districts, and 92 local branches called Metropolitan Anti-Terrorism Committees. The objective of this system would be to develop self-funding mechanisms to more fully engage a broad cross-section of American society to protect the country’s critical foundations from the widespread disruption that would arise from a terrorist attack."

Madeline Albright - CFR, Brookings - Currently serves on the Council on Foreign Relations Board of directors. Secretary of State and US Ambassador to the United Nations under Clinton. Did not take action against the genocide in Rwanda. Defended the sanctions against Iraq under Saddam Hussein. When asked by CBS’s 60 Minutes about the effects of sanctions: "We have heard that half a million children have died. I mean, that’s more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?" Albright replied: "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price — we think the price is worth it."

Madeline Albright was also personally chosen by Obama to represent him at at White House summit, where 20 Heads of State met to discuss the Global Financial Meltdown.

In July 2007, Obama published an article in the journal Foriegn Affairs, which is a publication of the Council on Foreign Relations. Entitled Renewing American Leadership, Obama outlines his ideas of how to best implement the C.F.R. agenda of large scale integration of nation states. Read it here.
