Nixon had resigned from the CFR in 1962, when it
became an issue in the California gubernatorial
primary campaign, but later rejoined. In his book,
Six Crises, he wrote: "Admitting Red China to
the United Nations would be a mockery of the
provision of the Charter which limits its membership
to 'peace-loving nations'..." Yet he wrote in the
October, 1967 edition of
Foreign Affairs how
he would have a new policy towards Red China. Even
after a July 15, 1971 statement on Radio Peking in
China that called for the "people of the world, (to)
unite and defeat the U.S. aggressors and all their
running dogs," Nixon accepted an invitation by
Premier Chou En Lai to go to China, where the
groundwork for trade relations was established. He
appointed over 100 CFR members to serve in his
Administration: George Ball (Foreign Policy

During his 1964 campaign for the U.S. Senate in
Texas, George Bush said: "If Red China should be
admitted to the UN, then the UN is hopeless and we
should withdraw." In 1970, as Ambassador to the UN,
he pushed for Red China to be seated in the General
Assembly. Bush became the first President to

The Christian Science Monitor said that
"almost half of the Council members have been
invited to assume official government positions or
to act as consultants at one time or another."
The Council accepts only American citizens, and has
a membership of about 2,900, including influential
bankers, corporate officers, and leading government
officials who have been significantly affecting
domestic and foreign policy for the past 30 years.
Every member had been handpicked by David
Rockefeller, who heads the inner circle of the CFR.
It is believed that the hierarchy of this inner
circle includes descendants of the original
Illuminati conspirators, who have Americanized their
original family names in order to conceal that fact.
Some of the CFR directors have been: Walter
Lippman(1932-37), Adlai Stevenson (1958-62), Cyrus
Vance(1968-76, 1981-87), Zbigniew

In 1896, Alfred Ochs bought the
New York Times,
with the financial backing of J. P. Morgan (CFR) ,
August Belmont (Rothschild agent), and Jacob
Schiff(Kuhn, Loeb). It later passed to the control
of Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, who was also a CFR
member. Eugene Meyer, a CFR member, bought the
Washington Post in 1933. Today it is run by his
daughter, Katherine Graham, also a member of the
CFR.

G. Gordon Liddy, former Nixon staffer, now talk show
pundit, laughs off the idea of a New World Order,
saying that there are so many different
organizations working toward their own goals of a
one-world government, that they cancel each other
out. Not the case. You have seen that their
tentacles are very far reaching as far as the
government and the media. However, as I will outline
below, you will see that the CFR has a heavy cross
membership with many groups; as well as a cross
membership among the directorship of many corporate
boards, and this is a good indication that their
efforts are concerted.
Some of the organizations and think-tanks that have
been controlled or influenced by the CFR: Brookings
Institute, RAND Corporation, American Assembly,
Foreign Policy Association (a more open sister to
the CFR, which CFR member Raymond Fosdick,
Undersecretary of General to the League of Nations,
helped create), World Affairs Council, Business
Advisory Council, Committee for Economic
Development, National Foreign Trade Council,
National Bureau of Economic Research, National
Association of Manufacturers, National Industrial
Conference Board, Americans for Democratic Action,
Hudson Institute, Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace, Institute for Defense Analysis,
World Peace Foundation, United Nations Association,
National Planing Association, Center for
Inter-American Relations, Free Europe Committee,
Atlantic Council of the U.S. (founded in 1961 by CFR
member Christian Herter), Council for Latin America,
National Committee on U.S.-China Relations,

In September, 1922, when the CFR began publishing
its quarterly magazine,
Foreign Affairs, the
editorial stated that its purpose was "to guide
American opinion." By 1924, it had "established
itself as the most authoritative American review
dealing with international relations." This highly
influential magazine has been the leading
publication of its kind, and has a circulation of
over 75,000. Reading this publication can be highly
informative as to the views of its members. For
instance, the Spring, 1991 issue, called for a UN
standing army, consisting of military personnel from
all the member nations, directly under the control
of the UN Security Council.
A
major source of their funding (since 1953), stems
from providing a " corporate service" to over 100
companies for a minimum fee of $1,000, that
furnishes subscribers with inside information on
what is going on politically and financially, both
internationally and domestically; by providing free
consultation, use of their extensive library, a
subscription to
Foreign Affairs, and by
holding seminars on reports and research done for
the Executive branch. They also publish books and
pamphlets, and have regular dinner meetings to allow
speakers and members to present positions, award
study fellowships to scholars, promote regional
meetings and stage round-table discussion meetings.
