*(The Herald Zimbabwe)* Although Nixon was to narrowly lose the next election in 1960 against John F. Kennedy, the charismatic Bostonian was another member of the CFR. "Nixon would return in 1968 to defeat fellow CFR member Hubert Humphrey, and win again in 1972 against George McGovern. "Although not a CFR member in 1972, McGovern saw the light and joined afterwards." There were more big names to come. Then a young Harvard scholar, Henry Kissinger was recommended by two CFR members - Arthur Schlesinger and McGeorge Bundy - to work at the CFR headquarters during the 1955-56 academic year, on a CFR project titled, Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy. A brilliant scholar, Kissinger pressed himself so much, using discussion notes and his own ideas, to write the first CFR publication to become a national bestseller, titled Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy. Twelve years later, Kissinger entered government as Nixon's national security advisor, and the rest, as they say, is history. The CFR would go on to recruit another future national security advisor, in the shape of the formidable Zbigniew Brzezinski. In 1970, the CFR entered a new dispensation when David Rockefeller became chairman of its board, replacing John J. McCloy. As head of Chase Manhattan Bank, David Rockefeller had been a CFR member since 1940, and he brought in Cyrus Vance to assist in the reorganisation of the secret society. Vance would later become secretary of state under President Jimmy Carter. In 1971, Bayless Manning was appointed into the new position of CFR president, and his new ideas saw the admission, for the first time, of women into the CFR. For nearly 50 years, the group had been a male reserve. "The public face of the CFR would change also," say Burnett and Games. "Its mission statement was no longer to ‘guide'American public opinion, but to ‘inform' it. Rockefeller also wanted to reduce the average age of the membership. In the early 1970s, the average age of the 1,600 members was 58. By 1975, through active recruitment of younger scholars aged between 21 and 27, the average age of new members was 47." *Trilateral Commission* When Jimmy Carter became president in 1976, according to Burnett and Games, "something intriguing occurred among the puppet-masters. While still a Democratic candidate, Carter had produced a book, I'll Never Lie to You, in which he stated: ‘The insiders have had their chance and they have not delivered. And their time has run out. The time has come for the great majority of Americans ... to have a president who will turn the government of this country inside out.' "The ‘insiders', says Burnett and Games, "was a reference to the CFR. Carter's advisor, Hamilton Jordan, had this to say before Carter was elected: ‘If, after the inauguration, you find Cyrus Vance as secretary of state and Zbigniew Brzezinski as head of national security, then I would say that we have failed, and I would quit.' "Although both of these men were members of the CFR, evidently Carter did not view them as ‘insiders' since he appointed them into the exact positions hat Jordan had specified. Jordan himself failed to follow through on his threat and did not resign. "Perhaps Carter was confused by the fact that Cyrus Vance and Brzezinski were members of his own secret society, the Trilateral Commission. "They were ‘insiders' of a different breed, or so it might seem at first sight. In fact, they were of exactly the same breed as the CFR." The Trilateral Commission (TC) goes back to July 23-24, 1972, when it was founded by David Rockefeller at his private estate, even though at the time he was still chairman of the CFR, and all the other 8 founding members on the American side were also CFR members. The aim of the TC was to bring together the three industrial engines of the world economy at the time: the USA, Europe and Japan. The TC's own promotional material summarises its aim as: "Close Trilateral cooperation in keeping the peace in managing the world economy, in fostering economic re-development and alleviating world poverty will improve the chances of a smooth and peaceful evolution of the global system." Senator Barry Goldwater, a critic of the TC, interpreted this to mean: "What the Trilaterals truly intend is the creation of a worldwide economic power superior to the political government of the nation states involved. "As managers and creators of the system, they will rule the world." Burnett and Games add that: "Whereas the Bilderberg group was a US-Europe alliance, the Trilateral Commission was merely adding another region of the world economy, in this case the Far East sector represented by Japan. It was David Rockefeller's baby..." The TC would go on to recruit Jimmy Carter, then an obscure peanut farmer turned governor of Georgia, and tutor him in the skills of modern foreign policy. In 1976, Carter admitted in his book, Why Not the Best, that: "Membership of the Commission [TC] has provided me with a splendid learning opportunity and many of the other members have helped me in my study of foreign affairs." No wonder, when he became president, Carter filled his administration with 13 TC members, including Walter Mondale who had run as his vice president. "The startling aspect of this," say Burnett and Games, "was that the TC at the time had only 65 American members." Interestingly, in 1980, the TC fielded two fellow members against Carter and Mondale - the Republican George H.W. Bush who was a member of both the TC and CFR, and John Andersen who run as an independent. *Enter Ronald Reagan* Ronald Reagan was a member of the Bohemian Grove, much like Richard Nixon. As Burnett and Games report, when asked who really ran America, Reagan admitted: "I think there is an elite in this country and they are the ones who run an elitist government. They want a government by a handful of people because they don't believe the people themselves can run their lives..." Yet when Reagan entered the White House, out of the 59 people he appointed to his administration, 28 were CFR members, 10 were Bilderbergers, and another 10 from the Trilateral Commission. When George Bush Senior (CFT/TC) succeeded Reagan, his top appointments were solid CFR - Condoleeza Rice (CFR), Dick Cheney (CFR), Brent Scowcroff (CFR), Colin Powell (CFR), Paul Wolfowitz (CFR). "When Bill Clinton (CFR) became president," reveal Burnett and Games, "he brought on board even more CFR members than Bush Snr had - 16 members of his cabinet were from the CFR (including women)." In 2004, when George W. Bush and John Kerry contested the presidency, the Skull & Bones had a field day as both were members. Kerry, additionally, held CFR membership. Though George W. Bush was not a CFR member, he yet surrounded himself with CFR members. As with all secret societies, CFR membership is by invitation only. "A recent breakdown of the 4,200 membership," say Burnett and Games, "reveals that 31% comes from the corporate sector, 25% from academia, 15% from charities, 13% from government, 8% from law, 6% from the media, and 2% from other professions." Burnett and Games continue: "The CFR prohibits its members from discussing anything that has been said within its closed meetings to outsiders. "It is this confidentiality that allows controversial subjects to be discussed within the Council and which helps define the CFR as a secret society. "Since Allen Dulles left his position as president of the CFR in 1950 and became the director of the CIA, almost all of the subsequent CIA directors have been CFR members. "The CFR is also a breeding ground for future presidents... It has reached the point where if someone wants to exert influence in Washington, they have to pass through the doors of the CFR. Its members control the world's banking, the world's largest intelligence gathering apparatus, most of the media giants, and most of the dominant American-based multinational corporations." And what's more: "With such a global coverage," say Burnett and Games, "anti-CFR press reports are unlikely to see the light of day, and that may be why the general public is unaware of its influence." Bilderberg The same can be said of the European version of the CFR, the Bilderberg, founded in 1952, which is very influential on this side of the Atlantic. Unlike the CFR, the Bilderberg's membership is open to Europeans and Americans only. Why none of these groups care to admit Africans is the more reason why Africa must have its own, to do exactly the same things for the continent and individual African countries as the CFR, TC, Bilderberg and the others are doing Europe, America and the other nations. Africa does not need to look further than the template being used by the CFR and the other groups. As can be gleaned from their activities, the secret societies are the real backbone of their countries and their place in the world. Regarding ideas for national (and even international development), the secret societies provide the raw material by doing the original thinking, the research and analysis, and handing the polished ideas over to their governments for implementation. They also provide the forums for their leaders to meet, fraternise, bond together, support one another, and take collective decisions. This is the good side of the secret societies that Africa must emulate. If Africa is to develop in a meaningful way, it must have its own home-grown versions of the secret societies to help push the development agenda in our countries and continent. Africans may hate the Afrikaner Broderbund secret society for what it stood for in Apartheid South Africa, but it did render "useful" services for the twisted cause of apartheid. It has shown the way in Africa - we must get on our bikes! Comments The Herald Dread - Saturday, October 22, 2011 at 11:58 AMI suppose the big question is WHY Africa has not got its essential well organized secret societies. Once this is answered, game done. I think that Africa has failed to establish its own secret society due to sustained attack on all fronts and probably mainly psychological. If we love our selves this would be easier. But I think the most practicable hope is for Africa to at least have a few rich African conscious people who can use the required resources to get Africans to start loving themselves and start operating within our own mind. As it is today we are so behind (not backwards) in terms of getting back to our own mind. For an African – it is impossible to be an African (mind) while at the same time trying to catch up (servant). The secret societies as noted indirectly within the article are responsible for the creation of the current system and mastermind dominance on all fronts media , banking , politics , culture, accepted values, language etc etc. On close analysis these secret societies have ensured the sustenance of institutions that keep us glued in the same position of servant. These include- education, religion, marriage, law, finance etc etc. These WESTERN secret societies are responsible for ensuring master plans for the roles and characters therein within our communities. This clearly explains why Obama’s key word was “CHANGE”. But guess what there are only fake changes—our eyes should be on the constants —we as Africans regardless of whether we are labeled as middle class, educated, Pastors etc are servants of the system. This is why the secret societies were established for—and by the way the ones that are mentioned in the article are only dating back to 1940’s. They date back to many years back that I can pin down to the establishment of the current bible as we know it today. Now this all means that African societies should thus have an agenda to take us back to our African mind—because currently we all have to be out of our minds to fit in this system. By being able to be African again we will find that the current system will fall to bits in a split second. But if we create secret societies that try to catch up and copy the one the WESTERN MAN established—we will find our selves in the same position as we are today
