This  "think tank" as you put it is highly detrimental to the United States of America along with its sister site the Trialateral commision which is the brain child of John Rockefeller and even worse. This can't be dismissed as some right wing panic button. I assume you didn't read the article or any other articles pertaining to these groups. I have already been to the CFR website but I did nt write this article, what did you expect me to find?  They say they have nothing to do with the Government, yet they permeate it. there is also another group, the Council for excellence in Government, they get sponsors for young people, the Brookings institute , The Rockefeller foundation etc. and they mold these people for future jobs in our Government, they proudly announced they have gotten three people into Government jobs so far,  it is run by Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton , George Bush sr, and the late Gerald Ford, they sit on the board of dierectors. It started out as a non profit org. paid for by private donations, now we pay. We have a Government, we don't need all these other spin offs that we wind up paying for. No outside group should influence our Government.  The CFR are totally against America and borders and redistriburtion of wealth, and especially one world bank. I'm quite certain you dont' expect to have them say these things on their website do you? This article is not mine but I ahve read many like it in the past month and its about time someone wrote about the History of our country and these groups. If you feel they hav enothing to hide  and their agenda is Ok themfine, that is your opinion, this is Steven Yates facts and part of our History. By the way, according to their website they have nothing to do with  our Government. You didn't read this article did you, it is not just about the CFR. it is also not my article but I have read about the CFR many times and I have been to their website and they seem ot be denying any influence over our Government yet most of Obamas cabinet are CFR members.  A lot of the media are CFR members this organization is being exposed for what it is right now, I have a lot of articles by very normal main stream people such as Steven Yates, Cliff Kincaid , and others, can they all be wrong? See whats happening, their agenda is coming to pass. This can not tbe dismissed as righwingnut fantasy, it is truth in fact and especially in consequences, it is happening to us now. There should be no outside influences effecting our Government, that includes big business, this is not what they are there for. The CFR's agenda would not be posted on their websoite, they did admit to having a lot of influential people in their membership, I have the list of members and its very telling. People need ot be informed and make their own decisions and they won't find anything in their website that will help them do that. Factual History is what is needed. A list of memvbership would help, I will post that this afternoon. You sound very cool but uninformed, if you go just by what their website says than you are not informed but it's your right to disagree with Mr. Yates and me.

Treasonous agenda of the Council on Foreign Relations

Here is how influential the CFR really is, for someone who has nothing to do with our Government  they sure have a lot of influence over what goes on here. The truth of the matter is the CFR has no authority to make any decisions for this country, they are not a recognized Governmental body, nor are they elected officials but here they are, making decisions fo rus and our country in addition ot other countries, what do you call this, is there a name for it? Bottom half of the page for this info. The top haldf is just as sickening but that is not what i was talking about. Ignore the title as there are several articles under this title, one worse than the other.
