The Council on Foregin Relations was founded on July 29, 1921 in New York City by Col. Edward Madell House, chief adviser to President Woodrow Wilson. The founders included many of those who had been at the signing of the Treaty of Versailles after World War I, including Colonel Edward House and Walter Lippmann.
Finances for the CFR came from the same players that set up the Federal Reserve System in America: J.P. Morgan; John D. Rockefeller; Bernard Baruch; Paul Warburg; Otto Kahn; and Jacob Schiff. Through its membership, meetings, and studies, it has been called the most powerful agent of United States foreign policy outside the State Department.
The CFR's Study No. 7, published November 25, 1959, openly declared its true purpose: "...building a New International Order [which] must be responsive to world aspirations for peace, [and] for social and economic change...an international order [code for world government]...including states labeling themselves as 'Socialist.'" One could safely say that a nutshell descriptor of the CFR is "to bring about a New World Order through the manipulation of U.S. foreign policy and relations and through international economic interdependence."
The CFR is a serpentine network of international revolutionaries and
fascist ideologues whose goal is to end American sovereignty and bring about a
global, Marxist paradise. House, a socialist, wrote in his book, Philip Dru:
Administrator, that he was working for "Socialism as dreamed of by Karl
Marx." He told of a "conspiracy" which would gain control of both political
parties, and use them as instruments in the creation of a socialist world
government. (John McManus, The Insiders, pg. 7.)
Many of its own members admit the CFR goal is to subvert the democratic
process. CFR member and Judge Advocate General of the US Navy Admiral Chester
Ward writes "The main purpose of the (CFR) is promoting the disarmament of US
sovereignty and national dependence and submergence into and all powerful, one
world government.". This high ranking military officer went on to explain their
procedures for influencing policy, claiming: "Once the ruling members of the
CFR shadow government have decided that the US government should adopt a
particular policy, the very substantial research facilities of the CFR are put
to work to develop arguments, intellectual and emotional, to support the new
policy and to confound and discredit, intellectually and politically, any
opposition.".
CFR Membership Roster
The roster of CFR members is thoroughly impressive - so are the
power groups who have representatives in it. Its current membership, all 2905
of them, is like reading a "who's who" of the elite politicians, media,
financiers, businessmen, and educators.
Nearly every U.S. President
since its inception has been a CFR member including: George Bush, Bill Clinton,
Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, Richard Nixon, John F. Kennedy, Dwight Eisenhower,
and Herbert Hoover.
Bill Clinton:
former president of the United States, also a member of David Rockefeller's
Bilderberger group and was in 1992 the only State
Governor listed in the membership role of the Trilateral Commission.

Many influential political figures also litter the roster of CFR membership. Dr. Carroll Quigley wrote in "Tragedy and Hope", "The chief problem of American political life …has been how to make the two Congressional parties more national and international. The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy."
Newt Gingrich is a candidate for the Republican nomination in the
2012 U.S. presidential election. He served as the Speaker of the U.S. House of
Representatives from 1995 to 1999 and represented Georgia's 6th congressional
district as a Republican from 1979 until his resignation in 1999. Gingrich
informally advised Defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld on strategic issues, on
issues including the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and encouraging the
Pentagon to not "yield" foreign policy influence to the State Department and
National Security Council. [Al Kamen (March 4,
2011). "Wordly advice to Rumsfeld, from Gingrich, Wolfowitz & Co.". The
Washington Post. Retrieved March 8, 2011.] He was also frequently a
contributor on the Fox News Channel, appearing as a guest on various segments

International banking organizations that currently have men in the CFR include Kuhn, Loeb & Co; Lazard Freres (directly affiliated with Rothschild); Dillon Read; Lehman Bros.; Goldman, Sachs; Chase Manhattan Bank; Morgan Guaranty Bank; Brown Bors. Harriman; First National City Bank; Chemical Bank & Trust; and Manufacturers Hanover Trust Bank. The CFR is totally interlocked with the major foundations (Rockefeller, Ford, Carnegie) and the so-called think tanks (Rand, Hudson Institute, Brookings Institute). The left has been systematically infiltrating wealthy and powerful tax-free foundations and government agencies where taxpayers' funds would begin to pour out to support the liberal agenda at home and abroad.
- Strobe Talbott: Aid Coordinator to the commonwealth of Indepenent States (also TC)
- Henry S. Bienen President, Northwestern University
- Tom Brokaw NBC News
- Karen Elliott House: Former senior vice president of Dow Jones & Company and publisher of the Wall Street Journal.
The CFR's Annual Report in 1974 says the project for the CFR in the '80's will be "The management of the International economy, global poverty, environment and the new "common"... the oceans, the seabeds, and space, and interstate violence, including arms control. What they are saying is "The management of your money, your land, your groceries, and your guns."
In 1975, the Rockefeller Foundation Report discusses the "Interdependece" of the countries of the world on each other. That we are of one world and shall become a nation state world under one government. They also say, we must reach a zero state population growth. The Rockefeller Foundation stated that they have in excess of 747 million dollars to achieve this with.
In Jason Bermas' film,
Invisible Empire is all conspiracy and no theory –
proving beyond doubt how the elite have openly conspired to insidiously rule
the globe via the engines of the CFR, the United Nations, the Trilateral
Commission, and the Bilderberg group.
