-Caveat Lector- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"> </A> -Cui Bono?- Since 1973, Tri Lat members have also filled key positions. One of the first members of the Tri Lat was Jimmy Carter, whose administration had 19 Tri Lateralists including: 1.Vice President Mondale 2.Secretary of State Vance 3.Secretary of the Treasury Blumenthal 4.Secretary of Defense Brown 5.National Security Advisor Bzrezinski These five positions made up the National Security Council, and were held by members of an organization which advocates world government - was their oath of office to uphold the Constitution a mere formality? Others included: 1) nearly all of the undersecretaries of State; 2) nearly all of the undersecretaries of Treasurer; 3) the Panama Canal Treaty negotiator; 4) the Salt Treaty negotiator; 5) the Ambassador to the U.N. Andrew Young; and 6) the Ambassador to Italy, Richard Gardner (remember, the Israel Moses Sief Banks of Italy are top stockholders in the Fed, and Gardner advocated an "...end run around our national Sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece.") An article about Bzrezinski(Carter's National Security Advisor, executive director of the Tri Lat, and author of "Between Two Ages") and Carter appeared in the March ~1. 1978 New York Times: "The two men met for the first time about four years ago, when Mr. Bzrezinski was the executive director of the Tri Lateral Commission, and had the foresight to ask the then obscure governor of Georgia to join its ranks. Their initial teacher-student relationship blossomed during the campaign and appears to have grown closer still." Bzrezinski(teacher)praises Marxism, thinks the U.S. is in obsolescence, and advocates a world government; the student was the President of the United States! Another article, written by CFR past president Winston Lord, appeared in the August 4-ll, 1978 issue of "W" magazine. He boasted: "The Tri Lateral Commission doesn't secretly run the world, the Council of Foreign Relations does that." Winston Lord is currently the Assistant Secretary for East Asian/Pacific Affairs (State Dept.) and special envoy to Red China. Contrary to candidate Clinton's "stand" on human rights, Red China has recently received an unconditional MFN trade status with the U.S.; never mind that over 10,000 Chinese dissidents have been murdered since Tianemen Square. The CFR domination of just the last three Administrations reveals: 1.347 under Reagan; 2.382 under Bush, and 3.387 under Clinton (over 1 in 8 of their total membership) The following CFR members hold top positions in our current Administration: 1.President Bill Clinton 2.Vice President Al Gore 3.Secretary of State Warren Christopher 4.Deputy Secretary of State Clifton R. Wharton 5.CIA Director R. James Woolsey 6.National Security Advisor W. Anthony Lake 7.Deputy National Security Advisor Samuel R. Berger 8.Secretary of Defense Les Aspen 9.Chrmn., Intel. Adv. Bd. William J. Crowe 10.U.N. Ambassador Madeleine Albright 11.Sec. H.& H.S. Donna E. Shalala 12.OMB Alice M. Rivlin 13.Secretary H.U.D. Henry G. Cisneros 14.Chrmn., Council Ec. Advisors Laura D. Tyson 15.Secretary of the Treasury Lloyd M. Bentsen (former CFR) 16.Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt 17.Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg There are 370 others as well. Have you ever wondered why, since WWII, U.S. foreign policy has allowed Communist expansion? Consider the roles of the following CFR members since WWII: 1.George Marshall and Dean Acheson engineered the betrayal of Chiang Kai-shek, allowing communist takeover of China; 2.Dean Acheson and Dean Rusk arranged the no-win undeclared war in Korea and the removal of General McArthur; 3.John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles, under CFR President Eisenhower betrayed Hungarian freedom fighters and knowingly brought Fidel Castro to power in Cuba; 4.McGeorge Bundy, Adlai Stevenson, and John J. McCloy saw to it that the Bay of Pigs invasion to oust Castro failed; 5.Dean Rusk, Robert McNamara, and Henry Cabot Lodge pushed the U.S. into Vietnam - and then drew up the rules making victory impossible; 6.Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger continued these policies, which led to communist takeover of South Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos; 7.Henry Kissinger, Ellsworth Bunker, and Sol Linowitz arranged for the Panama Canal giveaway - and gave $400 million dollars to that Marxist dictatorship to take it; 8.Under leadership of Zbigniew Bzrezinski, Cyrus Vance, and Warren Christopher, the Carter Administration undermined U.S. allies in Iran and Nicaragua; 9.Under Reagan, George Schultz, William J. Casey, and Malcom Baldridge arranged U.S. foreign aid to communist Romania, communist Poland, and the U.S.S.R.; they also impeded anti-Communists in El Salvador and Nicaragua. Why? It is easier to control oppressive Marxist regimes than nations of free men - in a one-world socialist government. Yes, Col. House's agenda of controlling both political parties in the U.S. has been achieved, through, as Madison warned, "silent and gradual encroachment." An excellent history of the CFR is found in "The Shadows of Power" (James Perloff, 1988, Western Island Publishers, P.O. Box 8040, Appleton, Wis. 54913, 1-414-749-3783). Just as Col. House led an American contingent to Paris in 1919, there are also powerful like-minded organizations in Europe, through financial control, promoting a one-world government. The most prominent of these is the Bilderbergers (est. in 1954), and is largely responsible for the unification of Europe through the Treaty of Rome (1957). Regardless of where these groups are from, their goal is a world government, and the U.N.. which they established, is the platform from which it will be launched. "Global Tyranny...Step by Step"(by William Jasper, 1992, Western Islands Publishers, P.O. Box 8040, Appleton, Wis. 54913) gives a well-documented examination of the past, present, and future role of the United Nations in the emerging New World Order. The titles of a few of its chapters: Chapter 1 The New World Army Chapter 3 The U.N. Founders Chapter 5 The Drive for World Government Chapter 8 The U.N. Grab for Your Child Chapter 10 The New World Money System The author also presents ways we can reverse this encroachment against our liberty and freedom. The Rockefellers play a key role in America's financial and political life. Currently, David Rockefeller is the honorary chairman of both the CFR and the Tri Lateral Commission, as well as (through his Chase Manhattan Bank) a top stockholder in the Federal Reserve. The Rockefeller influence goes back to 1890, when John D. Rockefeller was refining nearly 90% of all crude oil in the country, and frequently worked in concert with Wall Street banker J.P. Morgan. By the turn of the century, John D. purchased the Chase Bank and brother William bought the National City Bank of New York, and in 1913, became part of the Federal Reserve System. The Rockefeller Foundation was also in full operation by that time, effectively nullifying the "tax on the wealthy" as the proponents of 16th Amendment had sought. According to the Sept. 16, 1916 New York Times, the Rockefeller oil holdings alone were worth $500 million. By 1930, the 200 largest corporations, under Rockefeller and Morgan influence, held over 49% of the assets of all 40,000 corporations in the country. AT&T (controlled by Morgan) had greater assets than the total wealth in 21 states. The influence of the Rockefeller and Morgan groups was so great, they could affect the economic life of the country to a large degree and almost control its political life on the Federal level. The Rockefellers increased their leverage over the economy throughout the Depression years: 1) many of their competitors were hard-hit by the Stock Market Crash; 2) and, being a part of the Fed, the Rockefellers benefited from massive government borrowing; 3) which, in turn, furthered their control of industry, soon to be mobilized for war production. America's entry into WWII enhanced all of the above, and their wealth continued to be funneled into the tax-exempt foundations. Following the War, the U.S. was in such bad economic condition, that in 1950, it declared bankruptcy a second time and the Secretary of Treasury was appointed as "Receiver" in the Bankruptcy (Reorganization Plan No. 26, Title 5 U.S.C.A 903, Public Law 94-564, Legislative History, page 5967). In 1953, Congressman Carroll Reese of Tennessee initiated a Congressional Committee to investigate the tremendous influence of the huge tax-exempt foundations and their control over the economy. Yet, even Congress had little influence in diminishing the tremendous influence and control the international bankers exercised in the economy. The Rockefeller's wealth continued to expand - their foundations allows their wealth to compound. Each year the Rockefellers can dump up to half of their income into their foundations and deduct these donations from their income tax. Nelson Rockefeller admitted at his confirmation hearings (for V.P.): "The foundation pays no capital gains tax and no income tax, so those funds can continue to multiply." And indeed they have. The following information on the Rockefeller's more current wealth is derived from Congressman Patman's Report in the Congressional Record. What I am about the give you is direct ownership of stock; pay particular attention to the oil companies. In direct stock, they own: Exxon - 156.7 million; Rockefeller Center - 98 million; Standard of California - 85 million; IBM - 72.6 million; Chase Manhattan Bank - 18 million. Others that they have 10 million or more in are: Mobil Oil, Eastman Kodak, General Electric, Texas Instruments, Minnesota Mining & Mfg., and they own significant portions of about 50 other major American companies. A look at their security holdings reveals: They control Chase-Manhattan Bank, City National Bank of New York, and Chemical Bank, among others; these are in the top of the list. The Chase Manhattan Bank deals in many foreign countries as well as corporations: well over 100 countries with about 50,000 affiliated banks. A look at the interlocking boards of directors in the insurance industry, at the time this data was compiled, the Rockefellers controlled 3 of the 4 largest insurance companies in the world, that being Metropolitan Life, Equitable Life, and New York Life. The assets of these three at that time was $113 billion. They control others as well. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/forum/drudge_frame.htm <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
