Obama & the Council on Foreign Relations
Short video here, obviously relevant to the recent posts on Machiavelli. For anyone gullible enough to imagine cracks in the edifices of political control permitting liberators to seep through, anyone remember the naive and embarrassing euphoria that greeted man of the people Tony Blair's triumph over the Conservatives in the 90s?

I tend not to believe in conspiracy theories like the council on foreign relations. It just doesn't make sense. The richest man in the world would quickly find himself at war with the second richest one. That is just the way human nature works. Still, look on Wiki and you will find that 40% of all US presidents are the descendants of English kings. Most prolific were Edward I and Edward III. What's up with that? Even Bush and Bush II sprung from the loins of the old Brit monarchy.
That said, I have found it hard to believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing JFK. I think it was the doing of the New Orleans mob, with the CIA lending a hand. But who knows?
Anyway, any US president quickly finds himself the slave of the US bond market. So far, all Obama can seem to come up with is to borrow money from China to prop up all the usual Democrat voting blocks. That is change we can believe in. That, and new employment for all the old cast-offs from the Clinton regime. These are the people we have been waiting for.
The Council on Foreign Relations exists. I don't see how it makes any sense to not believe in it. The expression "conspiracy theory" is one of the gret citadels guarding the will to ignorance.
And as for "conspiracy theories" and their innate unlinkeliness, when the previous US election was contested by two members of the bizarre, sinister Skull & Bones secret society, then we have to abandon the pretence that reality must conform to some relatively banal standard.
A couple of quotes:
"We shall have world government whether or not you like it, by conquest or consent." Statement by Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member James Warburg to The Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 17th, l950
"The New World Order will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down...but in the end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal assault." CFR member Richard Gardner, writing in the April l974 issue of the CFR's journal, Foreign Affairs.
David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, head of CFR, in an address to a meeting of The Trilateral Commission, in June, 1991.
"We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."
In other words, the worthlessness of the captive corporate media.
I'm not arguing that the CFR exists. I don't know how effective it is. I don't think there is a world government. Look at the fecklessness of the UN. If there is a world government, then these people have accomplished what dictators have always tried. That goes against what we know about human nature.
