Читать книгу The United Nations Conspiracy to Destroy America - Michael Benson - Страница 8

A generation of Americans growing up during World War II often heard President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) on the radio. During those fireside chats he referred to the countries fighting the Germans and the Japanese not as “the Allies,” as newspaper and radio reporters did, but as the “United Nations.”

Not long before he died in January 2010, World War II historian and superpatriot H. Paul Jeffers wrote of his impressionable boyhood during the postwar years. He recalled that when the UN was formally organized, he had a small blue-and-white United Nations flag tacked to his bedroom wall.

In high school, Jeffers participated in a “model UN General Assembly” that was put on by the Philadelphia regional high schools at the University of Pennsylvania. When the Security Council convened in its temporary headquarters at Lake Success, New York, to deal with the outbreak of a war in Korea in June 1950, he watched the proceedings on the TV set, with a ten-inch screen, that his father had bought a few years earlier. He felt proud of the United States and the UN for rallying to the plight of the free people of South Korea who were being overrun by a horde of invaders from Communist North Korea.

Not long after the UN moved into its permanent location on New York City’s First Avenue, on land donated by John D. Rockefeller, Jeffers joined other students for a guided tour of the headquarters and saw the Security Council chamber on the ground floor of the impressive and imposing forty-story office building and the General Assembly’s auditorium beneath the dome of an adjoining structure with a majestic sloping roof.

In 1964, as a reporter for ABC Radio News, Jeffers occasionally covered UN meetings and observed public and private expressions of animosity toward the United States because of the conflict in Vietnam, which was labeled by many Third World countries as a colonial war.

The United States was also faulted, he recalled, by Arab nations for its support of Israel. No other issue before the UN, he noticed, contributed more to anti-American sentiment than the conflict between the Arab states and the Jewish state.

Dividing Palestine

Despite a UN decision in 1947 to divide the postwar British mandate in Palestine between Jews and Arabs, an increase in UN membership of Muslim nations resulted in a UN resolution that Zionism, which called for the creation of Israel, was racism.

It was this declaration that turned the UN from its role as a champion of peaceful relations between nations to a pro-Arab body. Because Israel could not survive without American support, the United States was seen not only as an obstacle to Arab desires to eliminate Israel, but as an imperialistic power that was the bulwark of capitalism and a roadblock to worldwide Socialism.

Cold War Fractures

This bulwark or roadblock view flourished as the UN membership list expanded in the decades since World War II, and the globe fractured during the Cold War into three blocs—nations allied with the United States (the West), the Soviet Union and its satellites, and the “uncommitted nations,” many of them part of the Third World.

In the post–Cold War era, there was a realignment, and there was a brief euphoric period during which the United States thought its number one enemy was whipped. As it turned out, a new enemy, a slithering and insidious foe not bound by the laws of civilized man, emerged. It was an enemy willing to attack women and children and to hit and run. It was an enemy made strong and united by an extremist interpretation of Islam.

Through an ongoing process, the UN developed into a force that hoped to tip the scale from Right to Left, from West to Middle East, from First to Third World.

A 1986 investigation requested by Senate Foreign Relations Committee member Arlen Specter by the General Accounting Office (now called the Government Accountability Office) confirmed that the UN’s public information operations were biased against the United States. A content analysis of materials produced by the UN’s Department of Public Information (DPI) found that publications and radio and TV programs frequently opposed key U.S. interests, discussed U.S. policies in a biased manner, and distorted or ignored U.S. purposes at the UN.

Not What FDR Had in Mind

All of this would have come as a shock to the idealistic American president who reportedly envisioned the United States leading the UN into an epoch of world peace and prosperity. In letters dated February 28, 1945, President Franklin D. Roosevelt invited wartime allies to send delegates to “the United Nations Conference” in San Francisco on April 25, 1945.

He wrote, with his usual run-on abandon, “I feel certain that this important conference bringing together all the United Nations which have so loyally cooperated in the war against their common enemies will successfully complete the plans for an international organization through which the close and continuing collaboration of all peace-loving peoples may be directed toward the prevention of future international conflict and the removal of the political, economic, and social causes of war. I am confident that as a member of the delegation, you would effectively contribute to the realization of the hopes and aspirations of the American people for an international organization through which this nation may play its full part in the maintenance of international peace and security.”

Because FDR felt the United States shouldn’t belong to any organization it could not control, he made certain that the United States would have veto power in the Security Council, along with the other major powers during World War II—Great Britain, Russia, France, and China.

When representatives of the fifty nations convened in San Francisco to complete the Charter of the United Nations, the result was the establishment of a General Assembly of all member states and a Security Council of five permanent members (with veto power), and six nonpermanent members.

The Charter provided for an eighteen-member Economic and Social Council, an International Court of Justice (ICJ), a Trusteeship Council to oversee certain colonial territories, and a Secretariat under a secretary-general.

The U.S. Senate approved the Charter on July 28, 1945, by a vote of 89 to 2. The United Nations came into existence on October 24, 1945, after twenty-nine nations had ratified the Charter.

Notice, in FDR’s world, enemy nations simply were not invited to the party. In 2010, almost seven decades later, the UN consisted of 192 members, almost all of whom had shown antagonism to American policies and resentment toward U.S. economic power.

Roosevelt did not anticipate that the UN’s membership would expand through the admission of scores of small, poor nations, few of which were true democracies, nor did he anticipate that the General Assembly would become imbued with far more influence than intended and that the lavishly decorated public rooms, delegate lounges, private chambers for “consultations,” ambassadorial offices, and nearby restaurants and cocktail bars would become incubators for anti-American conspiracies.

Good Public Relations

America was slow on the uptake when it came to the foul mess the UN had turned into. The UN’s utopian vision appealed to schoolteachers, and the benevolence of the UN was taught in every public school in America. The UN was a symbol for humankind’s high evolutionary state, proof that we as a people were more sophisticated than we’d ever been before. But it was a lie.

In some special UN schools, students were taught that the UN was God. And that was a big lie, one we’ll get into in depth later on in the chapter titled “International Baccalaureate.”

By 1999 journalists were beginning to get the word out. The UN liked to paint itself with a halo over its head. A closer examination always revealed budding horns.

Hotbed for Communists

Some journalists did not believe that the UN started out okay but turned evil. Some thought the UN had been engaging in a reign of terror since its birth. The UN’s founders were communists, it was said. The seventeen American men behind the UN’s creation were later found to be members of the Communist Party USA. The UN’s first secretary-general, Alger Hiss, was later discovered to be a Soviet agent. The UN’s secretary-generals over the years were all linked to socialism or communism. When it came to the big decisions, the communists usually won the vote. Even the American employees at the UN were socialists. Red-blooded Americans who were aware of the facts saw the UN as an enemy entity right from the start. Barry Goldwater, the Republican senator and 1964 presidential candidate, said that considering the makeup of the UN, perhaps it would be better if its headquarters were moved out of New York to Moscow or Peking where it belonged.

Enemy of National Sovereignty

The UN, with it utopian vision, didn’t believe in countries and borders. It was okay if they took down some of the borders in Europe and elsewhere, established international currency like the Euro, but they seemed to think that American borders didn’t matter either—and that was where they crossed the line.

The UN’s World Trade Organization (WTO), for example, had usurped the right of nations to determine their own commerce policies by establishing its own foreign commerce policy with more than forty thousand pages of regulations.

For an organization that was supposed to replace bullets with butter, there sure were a lot of UN employees who bore arms and used them to exert military pressure on global sore spots. By the end of the millennium, it was noted that the UN was involved simultaneously in seventeen separate “peacekeeping” missions and employed soldiers representing seventy-seven countries. During the first half century of UN existence, it made war fifty-nine times, a statistic that flew in the face of the peace-loving reputation it was provided when taught in American public schools.

During the 1950s, the UN accepted rules of engagement that made victory in Korea impossible for the United States and South Korea. To tip the scales further, UN spies fed secret information to China and the Soviet Union, shattering General Douglas MacArthur’s dream.

During the 1960s when the Soviet army invaded some of its satellite conquests, the UN stayed oddly mum, disinterested in angering the Bear (USSR) that was now firmly in control of Eastern Europe.

In the 1970s, the UN proved that it had no interest in defending human rights. Red China was allowed to replace Nationalist China as a member—Red China that used mass murder as a control mechanism.

During the 1990s, the UN flitted from scale to scale tipping the balance of power in favor of communists and socialists. In Nicaragua anti-communists were disarmed. In Bosnia communists were mixed with Muslims in the power structure.

There have been calls for the United States to quit that tower of secrets on New York’s First Avenue and to boot the body off U.S. soil. But here we are, in the second decade of the twenty-first century, and the United States remains.

Helms Startles the World

Back in 2000, Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC) startled the world by telling the UN Security Council, “The American people see the UN aspiring to establish itself the central authority of a new international order of global laws and global governance. This is an international order the America people, I guarantee you, do not and will not countenance. The UN must respect national sovereignty in the United States and everywhere else. The UN serves nation-states, not the other way around. This principle is central to the legitimacy and the ultimate survival of the UN, and it is a principle that must be protected.” Helms added, “I have received literally thousands of communications from Americans all across the country, expressing their deep frustration with this institution. They know instinctively that the UN lives and breathes on the hard-earned money of the American taxpayers, among others…. They’ve seen the majority of the UN members routinely voting against America in the General Assembly…. A UN that focuses on helping sovereign nations work together is worth keeping; a UN that insists on trying to impose a utopian vision on America and the world will collapse under its own weight. If the UN respects the sovereign rights of the American people and serves them as an effective tool of diplomacy, it will earn their respect and support. But a UN that seeks to impose its presumed authority on the American people without their consent begs for confrontation and, I want to be candid, eventual U.S. withdrawal.”

Thoroughly Infiltrated

For much of the UN’s existence, the most powerful and dangerous bloc was the Soviet bloc. After that broke up, the Arab countries stepped in to soak into the UN’s very fabric. By 2009 the UN was thoroughly infiltrated by Muslims who might not be radicalized themselves but who would exclusively side with the radicalized Muslims over anything Jewish, Christian, or secular. Agents of the Muslim world lurked in every shadow of the UN building, undercover, some with Western backgrounds, white skin, and Christian names. One man with a Christian-sounding name who worked at the UN had, in a previous incarnation, been a speech-writer and advisor for two of the world’s most dangerous Middle Eastern bad guys.

The proof of the Islamic bloc’s power in the UN was how reluctant the representatives of the Western powers were to say anything that might upset the Muslim nations and their supporters.

Take the Arab slave trade, for example. According to David Littman of the Association for World Education, this problem was “one of the best-documented historical phenomena in the field of slavery and without which the various Arab empires could never have been maintained.” Yet from the UN there was silence.

Sure Western delegates discuss the slave trade among themselves, in the privacy of a pub or on the street. But with members of the Islamic bloc around, they keep their lips buttoned. They wouldn’t dare to say anything about President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan who was indicted by the non-UN International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague and charged with the “murder, torture, and rape of the people of Darfur.” They wouldn’t dare mention that, despite the indictment and the genocidal nature of his crimes, al-Bashir was welcomed at Arab League meetings in Qatar. Western elites, the same hidden government that had dreamed up the UN in the first place, were now scared to upset the aggressive and dangerous radicals who had infested the UN.

The Invisible Hand

Though the degeneration of the UN into its current despicable state is well documented, understanding the birth of the organization requires an alternative history—a hidden component not available in your high school textbooks—or doctoral thesis as well. History is all about connecting the dots, and you’ve got FDR, the man with the vision, and John D. Rockefeller, who “donates the land for UN headquarters.” And you see that high-degree Freemasons had their fingers on the UN’s buttons—at least at first. Clandestine meetings were all-important in the UN’s history. There were also organizations that didn’t make it into official history books, secret organizations, some fraternal, some paramilitary. Their underground machinations birthed the UN.

The most powerful secret society involved in the UN’s creation was the Illuminati, the superiors who shed the light by which the rest of the world could see. They were presumed to be ancient in origin, and their legendary myths substantiate that. But their existence could be traced with journalistic assurance only to Bavaria in 1776 and the organizational activities of law professor Adam Weishaupt.

The leak of information from Weishaupt’s organization gave the world its first glimpse of the Illuminati—men who claimed to command superhuman knowledge. Their intelligence was granted to them by a mysterious “higher source.”

Weishaupt was an odd duck, thoroughly devoted to what he called the “ancient mysteries.” He didn’t use normal calendars and clocks. His Illuminati kept time using the Persian calendar.

“Man Is Not Bad…”

Weishaupt was a Bavarian canon law professor who’d previously studied to become a Jesuit priest. He became angry with the Catholic Church after Pope Clement XIV banned the Jesuits in 1773, and wrote, “Man is not bad, except as he is made so by arbitrary morality. He is bad because religion, the state, and bad examples pervert him. When at last reason becomes the religion of men, then will the problem be solved.”

He described the Illuminati’s pyramid chain of command: “I have two immediately below me into whom I breathe my whole spirit, and each of these two has again two others, and so on. In this way I can set a thousand men in motion and on fire in the simplest manner, and in this way one must impart orders and operate on politics.”

Despite his hard-to-believe pyramid analogy, the structure of the Illuminati remained completely secret until Bavarian police raided its lodge and confiscated secret documents.

The Illuminati Order was outlawed in Bavaria in 1783. Because of this, many members left Germany. So the law against the society ended up unintentionally spreading the philosophy as new Illuminati lodges opened across Europe and in America. By the end of that decade, the Illuminati had ceased to function in Germany but had become a global organization.

Going Even Deeper Inside

The Illuminati helped disguise itself by blending with the higher degrees of Freemasonry. It is suspected that this process began at a Masonic Convention of Wilhelmsbad in Hesse, Germany, in 1782.

The convention was attended by Masons from all over Europe and presided over by the Duke of Brunswick. The blended secret societies became known as Illuminized Freemasonry and its headquarters was established in Frankfurt, Germany, a center of German finance. Among the founders of that lodge were representatives of the Rothschild family, the ultrarich banking clan often suspected of plotting to control the world.

Though the Illuminati became all but invisible once merging into Freemasonry, it is suspected that it continues to operate today. The members are said to be an arrogant lot, boasting, “We can turn the public mind any which way we will.”

First Attempt at One-World Government—Denied!

The Illuminati planted the first seeds of a world government during the days following World War I, with the League of Nations, an organization made from the fabric of high society.

There were many elegant parties and dinners, and much expensive wine, liquor, and caviar were consumed. Even as the League partied the night away, a cancer that would come close to destroying the world, fascism and Nazism were growing.

And those tuxedo-clad delegates could do nothing to stop it. And so the League of Nations died. World War II happened anyway. The Illuminati with their superior brains had no answer for Hitler and his tanks.

Try, Try Again

After World War II, the Illuminati tried again, and this time the result was the UN. Just as the Illuminati had separated itself from its own history by invading the upper degrees of Freemasonry, it camouflaged its involvement in the UN’s birth by nestling its plan nicely behind a cardboard cutout of FDR’s utopian vision, and for a time the civilized world was all in.

Yes, for a time the Illuminati plot for world domination was near completion. It had control of all three branches of the U.S. government as well as the Western media.

No military in history came closer to controlling the world than the U.S. military in the splendid months between VJ Day and MacArthur’s Korean invasion at Inchon. And the UN was there the whole way. Hey, U.S. and UN were only one letter apart.

Even Uncle Walter

The Illuminati’s grip on Western media grew rapidly stronger with the electronic age. If you read it in the papers or saw it on TV it must be true—or so thought the people. Truth was, everything Americans heard and read was subject to Illuminati approval, even Walter Cronkite.

Cronkite was the CBS news announcer who for decades was considered the most trusted man in America. His involvement with secret societies was revealed when a reporter caught him attending a meeting of the supersecret Bohemian Grove, a meeting at a secluded campground in Sonoma County, California.

Once a year for two weeks, an all-male group of powerful publishers, politicians, and businessmen meet. Those who attend the meetings are sworn to secrecy about what goes on there. All information known about the group has come from reporters who infiltrated the meetings, sometimes posing as waiters.

Signs of Deception

The public believed everything they saw and read. The notion that it was being lied to simply hadn’t come up. Not until the media sold the Big Lie about the murder of President John F. Kennedy that the screen of deception fell.

If someone had thought about it, the signs of deception would’ve been easy to pick out. But people didn’t have the eye for deception in the 1950s. It was a naïve era.

Many Americans thought pro wrestling was a straightforward athletic competition when in reality it was sport entertainment with several layers of nonreality shellacked on.

History, they say, is the version as told by the winners, so the modern control of the media by the Illluminati is not a new thing. It is just a more sophisticated example of controlling the mind of the people.

That much power will always breed paranoia. The members of the Illuminati were not just powerful, the paranoid believed, but practically omniscient. They were also evil, satanic, disciples of the anti-Christ. Wavers of upside-down crucifixes.

Profiteers

Although the Illuminati had had a hand in the allied victory during World War II, the first modern war under its control was Korea—and that was largely through using the UN as a cutout between the Illuminati and the action.

The Illuminati didn’t throw its power wholeheartedly into a U.S. victory. Instead it concentrated on keeping power balanced, staging small wars such as Korea and Vietnam, the results of which could be spun as earth shattering (remember the “domino theory”) but which mattered little in the big picture.

These smaller wars would keep the military-industrial complexes on both sides of the Iron Curtain, busy, busy, busy—making a handful of men even richer and more powerful than they were before.

War spelled profits for the Illuminati. In this sense, much of the Cold War was a hoax, perpetuated by a common hand playing both the white and black pieces.

Maintaining Balance

The UN may never have been closer to complete control of world events than they were during the “police action” in Korea. At 4:00 A.M., on June 25, 1950, North Korean troops invaded South Korea, crossing the 38th Parallel (the political dividing line between North and South Korea established after World War II).

The Soviet Union supplied North Korea with modern military equipment: tanks, artillery, trucks, guns, ammunition, uniforms, and items needed to fight a modern war. The United States came to the aid of South Korea, both in the air and on the ground. That little wound would grow no larger, but neither would it ever completely heal. The United States’ various aerial reconnaissance operations over North Korea started during the Korean War (1950–1953) and continued into 2010.

These operations continue to play an important role in knowing what that Communist country is doing. After a few years, the war ceased and was declared a draw. A demilitarized zone was placed between the countries under UN command. And when the profiteers had taken their fill, they moved on to another Asian skirmish, this one in Vietnam. And so on. And so on.

Korean Nukes

For years now North Korea was toiling to improve their nuclear program. It was assumed that its ultimate goal was to put a nuke on the nose of an intercontinental missile.

Occasionally the UN impeded North Korea’s progress a bit by condemning this activity as nuclear proliferation. Of particular concern, the UN said, was that North Korea had in storage thousands of spent fuel rods (reactor fuel too radioactive to use). These contained sufficient plutonium to construct several nuclear weapons.

The UN, armed with U.S. surveillance photos, noted that North Korea’s nuclear reactor was operational, and additional plutonium could have been produced for nuclear weapons construction.

For a while North Korea allowed UN inspectors in to look for weapons of mass destruction. They even allowed surveillance cameras to be set up at the nuclear reactor so the UN could monitor activities there. The arrangement didn’t last long. North Korea booted the weapons inspectors out of the country and disconnected the video surveillance and monitoring equipment in the reactor.

North Korea continued to work toward joining the nuke club, and the UN could do nothing about it. The production, north of the demilitarized zone, of weapons-grade plutonium continued unhindered.

Is this an indication that the Illuminati is no longer controlling both the white and black pieces? Is the secret hand no longer ubiquitous? The answer would seem to be yes.

Endgame

Or was the UN and Illuminati cabal moving in mysterious ways, yet moving nonetheless, toward completion. It would seem that to believe in the Illuminati and a current role of dominance in world affairs one would have to conclude that the New World Order did not include a One-World Government, but rather at least two. The goal was not world peace, but governed conflict, a constant steady tension (and military consumption) that would require a very expensive preoccupation with defense.

As of 2010, Obama was on board. Under his administration the focus of American foreign policy may have shifted from Iraq to Afghanistan, but the Iluminati still had its little war that funneled money into pockets of the Illuminati war profiteers.

What was the endgame? As some saw it, the UN had new and unexpected difficulties with the Third World, but its goals remained the same as ever, to control the world, with one, white man, a king, head of the United Nations and with the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), supported by a few billionaires, economists, and scientists. Followers of the new regime would be like pod people, and they would be called liberals. Those who did not get with the program would be enslaved.

As others saw it, the goal was to make a buck without the whole world blowing up. And as the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 demonstrated, the Illuminati organization was willing to allow the world to slide dangerously close to that line, the line between profit and doom.

UN Goals

Most of the UN’s power hunger seemed to be global in nature. But did the UN (via the Illuminati overseers) really want to destroy the United States? Did the powers that be have a vision of America that didn’t involve freedom and liberty and everything else Americans held dear.

According to the Jeremiah Project, the proof was in the pudding. They published a list of perceived UN goals based on real policies. That is they read between the lines of the UN Charter, then liberally interpreted its message.

These goals included the following:

 Control of all zoning matters in the United States and control of our national parks, rivers, and historical sites

 Control over whether women are allowed to have babies

 Control over the economic and judicial policies of all nations

 Power to raise taxes at will to pay for UN programs, no matter the size of the budget or the corruption in the system

 Power to force U.S. soldiers to pledge allegiance to the UN

No Comfort

But just as the Illuminati was undone by the Nazis, so it appears to have been blindsided by the new enemy, the terrorists of radical Islam.

So this is not a book about how the Illuminati control the world, although there is comfort in the thought—as long as we believe the group to be benevolent.

Even alternative histories are dependent on logic. And the logical interpretation here is that the Illuminati is losing its grip on the world, largely because of desperate Third World resistance.

Not all the revolt against Illuminati interests consisted of roadside bombs and underpants explosives. The enemy attacked the secret society close to home, at the UN. The attack came like a virus, wriggling through the capillaries of the UN.

The Illuminati’s biggest fear in the twenty-first century is that the Islamic bloc will destroy the UN just as fascism killed the League of Nations. The only hope is that the current cancer is not as clever as were the fascists.

While Hitler’s plans for global domination remained hidden for years behind the cool lies of his immediate disciples, the current menace commits acts of terrorism, openly targeting innocent women and children and screaming impossible demands at otherwise civilized UN meetings.

Knights of Malta

The Illuminati was not the only secret society that was said to have influenced the UN’s sordid history. Another was the Knights of Malta, a group that developed out of the Sovereign Order of Saint John of Jerusalem (the Knights Hospitallers) after a Turkish raid forced the Hospitallers to move from Crete to Malta. When other groups such as the Cathars and the Knights Templar were being eradicated by the Roman Church, the Knights of Malta avoided this by aligning themselves with the Church.

As recently as the twentieth century, the Knights of Malta have been caught attempting coups. Two Knights of Malta were United States Directors of Central Intelligence, John McCone and William Casey.

In the 1980s, an Italian Masonic Lodge infiltrated by Knights of Malta and run by Licio Gelli became what was called by historian Jim Marrs a “worldwide fascist conspiracy.” Gelli, Marrs wrote, was in cahoots with the Mafia, the Vatican Bank, and the CIA and was conspiring the overthrow of the Italian government.

In modern times the Knights of Malta have aligned themselves with the UN, perhaps because the Knights are a cover for actual members of the Illuminati. It is not hard to imagine the Illuminati infiltrating the Knights, just as they had the upper echelon of the Freemasons to better disappear from view.

Council on Foreign Relations

Another layer of camouflage between the Illuminati and the UN was the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), “a nonprofit and nonpartisan membership organization dedicated to improving the understanding of U.S. foreign policy and international affairs through the exchange of ideas.” Or so they say. Who belonged to the CFR was not a secret, but what they do certainly was. The CFR published a list of its membership, but those on the council were required to take a pledge of silence regarding all CFR activities.

The CFR had a history that paralleled the Illuminati power play of the twentieth century. The CFR was born as an outgrowth of meetings conducted during the final months of, and just after, World War I. The nature of the postwar world was the subject of these meetings that were set up by President Woodrow Wilson’s adviser Colonel Edward Mandell House. Out of these meetings came Wilson’s “fourteen points.” The points called for free and open trade between nations.

Institute of International Affairs

When the war ended, Wilson, House, and other influential men, including bankers Bernard Baruch and Paul Warburg, attended the peace conference in Paris. At the Majestic Hotel in Paris on May 30, 1919, there was formed the first attempt at a supranational organization, the Institute of International Affairs. Seen as a first step toward one global government, it was divided into two branches: one was headquartered in England and known as the Royal Institute of International Affairs, and one was in New York and called the CFR.

The CFR took the name of a preexisting but nonpowerful group that had been meeting at a New York dinner club since 1918. The first president was John W. Davis, who was J. P. Morgan’s lawyer. This new CFR was incorporated on July 21, 1921. The bylaws of the organization stated that any member who discussed the activities of the CFR would immediately be kicked out.

Northeastern Power Elite

From the end of World War II until the present, the CFR has maintained its headquarters in New York City’s Harold Pratt House, which was donated to the CFR by the Rockefeller family’s Standard Oil (now known as Exxon). David Rockefeller joined the CFR before World War II and was elected vice president of the council in 1950.

Membership was by invitation only and consisted of what is often referred to as the “northeastern power elite.” In the original rules, the CFR was supposed to limit its membership to 1,600 members, but in 2010 it was estimated that it had more than twice that many members.

During the 1970s the CFR stopped being an exclusively white male organization, allowing a smattering of women and African Americans to join. Members of the CFR have included several U.S. secretaries of state, including Elihu Root, John Foster Dulles, and Christian Herter. Another is Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the Federal Reserve. Journalists who are also members of the CFR include Robert MacNeil, Jim Lehrer, and Dan Rather. All three were in or near Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963, at the time of Kennedy’s assassination.

The CFR was so powerful that it often dictated U.S. foreign policy. And to believe one whistle-blower, the fix was in when it came to our democratic process.

After a round of public criticism from conservative writers, former chairman of the CFR, David Rockefeller, was instrumental in the formation of a new and similar organization known as the Trilateral Commission.

Council of Foreign Relations at the UN

Which brings us to the CFR-created UN. Author Ralph Epperson notes that the first U.S. delegation to the UN, when it was headquartered in San Francisco, included forty-seven members of the CFR.

Today’s funding for the CFR is said to come from major corporations such as Xerox, Bristol-Meyers Squibb, General Motors, Ford Foundation, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

As we’ve noted (Chapter “The Rose-Colored Glasses of Franklin Delano Roosevelt”), the theory that best fits the facts is that modern wars are controlled by bankers and businesspeople rather than by generals and armies. Members of the CFR first took an interest in Vietnam back in 1951, a full decade before U.S. involvement there. That year the CFR created a study group to analyze the region.

The group concluded that British-American domination of the region was recommended. Three years later, one of the founders of the CFR, John Foster Dulles, convened a conference in Manila at which the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) was founded. SEATO committed the British Empire, the United States, France, and the Philippines to defend Indochina, a pact that led to the French and then the U.S. fighting long and bloody wars in the region.

According to author Jim Marrs, the CFR roster during the 1960s, which included Robert McNamara, McGeorge Bundy, General Maxwell Taylor, and Henry Cabot Lodge, was a “who’s who of the Vietnam era.” In 1969, Richard Nixon appointed as his National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger, a member of both the CFR and the Trilateral Commission.

White-Collar War

Continuing with our theory that modern wars are run by men wearing white collars, they would find it desirable to make the wars as long and expensive as possible—yet undecisive. With that in mind, recall that MacArthur (a Mason) was fired by President Harry Truman when MacArthur sought to win the Korean War quickly and definitively. MacArthur was a very important chess piece and thought himself above the demands of the secret hand.

MacArthur was replaced by General Matthew B. Ridgeway, later a member of the CFR. U.S. military forces in Vietnam were never allowed to use the full brunt of their force against the enemy but were instead handcuffed by “rules of engagement,” which all but guaranteed a long and munition-consumptive war without a winner.

UN as Cover for War Profiteers

On the surface, the UN indeed maintained its utopian vision but there was no profit in a world without conflict. The trick was to keep the wars small and profitable without destroying the entire globe—and, indeed, during the nuclear age, the world seemed frighteningly fragile.

So, is it possible that the voices of anti-Western hatred are not the death of the UN, as the Nazis were for the League of Nations—but rather the irritants that make selling balm (and bombs) so profitable?

And isn’t it that very profiteering nature, engrained in the UN’s DNA by its father the Illuminati and its mother CFR, that allows the UN to grow so infested with corruption, negligence, and apathy?

Let’s take a closer look at those voices of dissension, starting with the leftist voices of hatred emanating from the Caribbean and Central and South America.
