Subject: CFR Secretaries of State
Council on Foreign Relations Secretaries of State
According to "The Art and Science of Psychological Operations, Department
of the Army Pamphlet No. 525-7-1",
"Although the president has the overall responsibility for the
foreign policy of the United States, the secretary of state is his
principal foreign policy advisor and has responsibility for the execution
of foreign policy in accordance with approved policy. The secretary of
state also has full authority and responsibility for the overall direction,
coordination, and supervision of interdepartmental activities of the US
Government overseas...
In providing overall foreign policy guidance, the State Department
also coordinates and supervises US resources in the conduct of propaganda
and political warfare. The US information agency conducts mass
communications and provides policy guidance on the conduct of Psychological
Operations (PSYOPs) in accordance with the basic foreign policy guidance it
receives from the State Department...
Five assistant secretaries direct the activities of the geographic
bureaus. For the countries within his geographical area, each assistant
secretary has the primary responsibility to keep the secretary of state
informed of important developments, to advise the secretary in formulation
of US policies, to guide the operations of the US diplomatic
establishments, and to direct, coordinated and supervise interdepartmental
and interagency matters....
Each assistant secretary is aided by country directors within his
bureau who are responsible for the overall guidance and interdepartmental
coordination with respect to their assigned countries. Country directors
are the single focal point in Washington serving the needs of the US
ambassadors. They work closely with "country teams" in US missions abroad
to insure that all elements of a mission in a given country jointly pursue
US foreign Policy Directives...PSYOP matters are handled between the
regional or country directors or desk officers and the various embassies."1
On 20 June 1951, Harry Truman created a Governmental agency called the
Psychological Strategy Board, to coordinate Psychological operations. The
Psychological Strategy Board was composed of, the (1) Undersecretary of
State, (2) the Deputy Secretary of Defense, (3) Director of Central
Intelligence (4) a representative of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (5) an
appropriate representative or head of any department or agency of the
Government determined by the Board. On Thursday 26 July 1951, President
Truman would tell the press that the Psychological Strategy Board was a
part of the Central Intelligence Agency.
The Council on Foreign Relations evolved from a secret society founded by
Cecil Rhodes. The organizational plan provided for an inner circle called
"The Society of the Elect." The inner circle planned psycho-political
operations. Key parts in the operation were played by members of a larger
outer circle, "The Association of Helpers." By withholding the nature of
the operation from "The Association of Helpers," Secret Society members
could deny participating in the operation, and Rhodes Secret Society
sponsorship of the operation could be kept secret.
Operations planned and executed to conceal the identity of the sponsor are
called covert operations. They differ from clandestine operations in that
emphasis is placed on concealment of identity of sponsor rather than on
concealment of the operation. The Council on Foreign Relations, Royal
Institute of International Affairs, and their branch organizations in other
nations operate in the same manner to this day.
Council on Foreign Relations member Gordon Gray proposed the Psychological
Strategy Board. Council on Foreign Relations member, Henry Kissinger, paid
political consultant to the Rockefeller family, was Gray's consultant. Gray
and Kissinger sat on the Psychological Strategy Board. The Psychological
Strategy board was intimately related to the National Security Council.
Many National Security Council members were also members of the
Psychological Strategy Board and the Council on Foreign Relations. The
Psychological Strategy Board was like the Rhodes's Secret Society inner
circle "The Society of the Elect."
The Psychological Strategy Board coordinated well planned psycho-political
operations scripted by Council on Foreign Relations members in the State
Department. The group contributed to the psycho-political operation by
maintaining close relations with key policy-making groups, attending
meetings of the National Security Council, and keeping in close touch with
members of the President's cabinet. Group members would influence key
individuals to act to achieve the desired outcome of the planned military,
economic , and diplomatic action . Group members would monitor and report
problems as they emerged and help to devise and implement ways to overcome
the problem . The group would devise ways and means of manipulating the
public, Congress, and Government personnel, from the President on down, to
to accept the desired policy and avoid its being set back by off-the-cuff
and ill-timed remarks of prominent citizens, or public disapproval. The
policy was designed to maximize profits of Council on Foreign Relations
controlled medicine, media, munitions, energy, banking and food industries
by maintaining the largest military industrial complex in peace time
history. Policy designed to maximize the advantages of a small group of
people belonging to the Council on Foreign Relations were rarely in the
best interest of the American Public.
In 1953 President Eisenhower commissioned the Jackson committee. Its
mission was to study psychological warfare and propaganda. The Jackson
Committee worked with the Hickenlooper Committee, who ran the Overseas
Information Programs. The Hickenlooper Committees staff came from the
Department of State, Department of Defense, Central Intelligence Agency,
Mutual Security Agency, and Office of Defense Mobilization.Council on
Foreign Relations member Abbott Washburn served as Executive Secretary of
the Hickenlooper Committee. Council on Foreign Relations member Gordon Gray
, architect of the Psychological Strategy Board, was a member of the
Jackson committee.
The Jackson committee recommended abolishing the Psychological Strategy
Board, establishing the Operations Coordinating Board, and creating an
information program to influence people throughout the world. President
Eisenhower described the Hickenlooper/Jackson recommendations as "the
reconstitution and revitalization of the National Security Council," The
Jackson Committees' report explained, "In reality, there is a
"psychological" aspect or implication to every diplomatic, economic, or
military policy and action. This implication should receive more careful
attention, both in the planning and execution stage of policy... Every
significant act of virtually every department and agency of Government has
its effect, either positively or negatively, in the global struggle for
freedom. The important task is to build awareness throughout the entire
Government of the impact of day-to-day governmental actions and to
coordinate and time such actions so as to derive from them the maximum
advantages."
The Jackson committee's Top Secret report identified and isolated a new
enemy - the Russians. The report accused the Soviet union of being a danger
to the rest of the western allies. The report advocated a build up of
weapons by the allies to intimidate the Russians. The report advocated the
use of propaganda, psychological warfare, and a need for secrecy. When an
uneasy press questioned the US government "the official spokesman explained
that this was part of the cold war strategy and had to be classified.."
The Operations Coordinating Board was a super-powered Psychological
Strategy board, with a name that would arouse less public curiosity, and a
built in propaganda machine, the United States Information Agency.
Operations Coordinating Board members usually belonged to the Council on
Foreign Relations. The Operations Coordinating board was created in 1953 by
Eisenhower's Presidential Executive Order 10483. It stated
"the Operations Coordinating Board shall (1) Whenever the President
shall hereafter so direct, advise the agencies concerned as to... the
execution of each security action or project so that it shall make its full
contribution to the attainment of national security objective views and to
the particular climate of opinion the United States is seeking to achieve
in the world, and (2) initiate new proposals for action within the
framework of national security policies in response to opportunity and
changes in the situation... "
"[Section 1 E. O. 10483] (b) "The Board shall have as members the
following: (1) The Under Secretary of State, who shall represent the
Secretary of State and shall be the chairman of the Board. (2) The Deputy
Secretary of Defense, show shall represent the Secretary of Defense. (3)
the Director of the Foreign Operations Administration (4) the Director of
Central Intelligence, and (5) a representative of the President to be
designated by the President. Each head of agency referred to in items (1)
to (4), inclusive, in this section 1 (b) may provide for an alternate
member representing the agency concerned when such regular member is for
reasons beyond his control unable to attend any meeting of the Board; and
any alternate member shall while serving as such have in all respects the
same status as a member of the Board as does the regular member in lieu of
whom he serves.
[Section 1 E. O. 10483] (c) The head of any agency (other than any
agency represented under section 1 (b) hereof) to which the President from
time to time assigns responsibilities for the implementation of national
security policies, shall assign a representative to serve on the Board when
the Board is dealing with subjects bearing directly upon the
responsibilities of such head. Each such representative shall be an Under
Secretary or corresponding official and when so serving such representative
shall have the same status on the Board as the members provided for in the
said section 1 (b).
[Section 1 E. O. 10483] (d) The Special Assistant to the President
for National Security Affairs my attend any meeting of the Board. The
Director of the United States Information Agency [USIA] shall advise the
Board at its request. "
On 19 February 1961, President John F. Kennedy issued a Statement
abolishing the Operations Coordinating Board. After being abolished the
Operations Coordinating Board continued operations as an ad hoc committee
called the "Special Group." The "Special Group" wasn't created by executive
order and can't be abolished.

Should appointed officials belonging to an organization whose members are
closely connected with industries that profit from war be making decisions
that will send American Troops into battle? Are peacekeeping operations
designed to maximize Council on Foreign Relations controlled munition,
medicine, media, food, banking and energy industry profits? Are terrorist
organizations at home and abroad being infiltrated, financed, and
manipulated into carrying out a biological or nuclear attack on Americans
as part of a new Council on Foreign Relations psycho-political operation to
provide a new enemy Americans can hate, loath, and will willingly go to war
against?
Isn't it time Congress Investigated the Council on Foreign Relations?

Title-50 War and National Defense § 783 states - "It shall be unlawful for
any person knowingly to combine, conspire, or agree with any other person
to perform any act which would substantially contribute to the
establishment within the United States of a totalitarian dictatorship, the
direction and control of which is to be vested in, or exercised by or under
the domination of control of, any foreign government."
The Council on Foreign Relations are in violation of Title-50 War and
National Defense § 783. The Council on Foreign Relations has unlawfully
and knowingly combined, conspired, and agreed to substantially contribute
to the establishment of one world order under the totalitarian
dictatorship, the direction and the control of members of Council on
Foreign Relations, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, and
members of their branch organizations in various nations throughout the
world. That is totalitarianism on a global scale.
