"A little learning is a
dangerous thing"

The article below describes how SecState Antony Blinken played a key role in fomenting the rapidly escalating NATO sponsored conflict between Ukraine and Russia, leading the world to the brink of WW3.

The author fails to mention that Blinken is a lifetime member of the liberal-fascist Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Trilateral Commission, along with other key players on the "Biden team" including SecDef Austin, CIA director Burns, etc. (See our post "The CFR Strikes Back" for a more complete list.)

Antony Blinken, the long-time "aide" of Joe Biden, is simply continuing the anti-Russia project launched during the Obama/Biden admin under CFR/Trilateral StateDept operatives Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Victoria Nuland, William Burns, Jake Sullivan, Mark Brzezinski and many others. Here are key points from the article, including links to the MHP database for the players:

"On March 7, 2022, two weeks after Moscow entered the 'civil war' in Ukraine, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken told CBS News that the U.S. would give NATO member Poland a "green light" to send Mig-29 fighter jets to Ukraine to enforce a no-fly zone against Russian aircraft. [US ambassador to Poland Mark Brzezinski, trained at Oxford, is son of the Trilateral founder --ed]

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer also backed the no-fly zone. But within days the Pentagon shot down the idea as it engaged in a consequential battle with the State Department and members of Congress to prevent a direct NATO military confrontation with Russia...

President Joe Biden...ultimately sided with the Defense Department [saying:] "We will not fight the third world war in Ukraine." U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin backed him up... Blinken, who stepped out of line to speak above the heads of the President and the Pentagon, lost that round. It's surprising he kept his job. But he survived and now he's come back for more. [Blinken has been at Biden's side since 2009, see his timeline --ed]

Blinken's recklessness emerged yet again last week when he peddled a story that Biden would approve a British request to fire its Storm Shadow missiles deep into Russia. The Guardian story on 11-Sep-2024 said: "Antony Blinken gave his strongest hint yet that the White House is about to lift its restrictions on Ukraine using long-range weapons supplied by the west on key military targets inside Russia, with a decision understood to have already been made in private..."

The next day Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that launching such missiles into Russia "will mean that NATO countries -- the United States and European countries -- are at war with Russia. And if this is the case, then, bearing in mind the change in the essence of the conflict, we will make appropriate decisions in response to the threats that will be posed to us."

Blinken's words evidently raised British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's hopes that he would satisfy his desire to strike Russia with his nation's arsenal of long-range missiles, despite Putin saying that meant direct war with NATO. Starmer had evidently been led by Blinken to believe that it was a done deal...

Starmer's mania to strike Russia illustrates the British elite's continuing pathological hatred of Russia, extending back centuries, compared to a perhaps more tempered American geostrategic rivalry with Moscow. Blinken and the British are trying to lead us to the brink. Except that the Pentagon...has [so far] pulled the world back from it.

Biden has proven himself a supreme warmonger, his advocacy for the illegal invasion of Iraq and his complicity in the genocide in Gaza as the most egregious examples. Like the two presidents before him, Biden allowed neocons to worm themselves into positions of power in his administration... Barack Obama let Hillary Clinton, the "Queen of Warmongers," bring Neocon queen Victoria Nuland into his administration. Donald Trump let neocons John Bolton and Mike Pompeo into his...

Instead of banishing these people, they are allowed to linger and drag the U.S. into evermore perilous failures: Iraq, Afghanistan, Gaza and Ukraine, leaving behind a mountain of squandered dollars and an ocean of blood. [The CFR network has controlled every US admin since WW2, see these charts --ed]

In 2015, Obama wisely decided against arming Ukraine after the Nuland-and-Biden-led 2014 coup because he did not want to antagonize Russia, for whom he said Ukraine was a vital interest... Blinken at the time was Obama's deputy secretary of state. To support the president's position, he told a conference in Berlin:

"If you're playing on the military terrain in Ukraine, you're playing to Russia's strength, because Russia is right next door. It has a huge amount of military equipment and military force right on the border. Anything we did as countries in terms of military support for Ukraine is likely to be matched and then doubled and tripled and quadrupled by Russia."

But once he was freed of the restraints of Obama, he joined Biden's aggressive Ukraine policy at the top of the State Department. From that position, and with a power vacuum in the White House because of Biden's dementia, Blinken has been openly pushing the neocon agenda, laid out plainly in the 2000 report of the Project for a New American Century. [Most of the PNAC neocons were also CFR members, including Wolfowitz, Perle, Kagan, Bolton, Cheney, etc --ed]

PNAC plainly promulgates that no power or alliance of powers will be allowed to rise up to stand in the way of the neocons' mad quest to harness American power to achieve world domination. An alliance such as that of China, Russia and the BRICS countries, which has only accelerated in opposition to unhinged, neoconservative adventurism.

In 2019, Blinken teamed up with arch-neocon (and PNAC co-founder) Robert Kagan to write a Washington Post op-ed arguing for more aggressive use of U.S. power abroad and against U.S. domestic trends towards non-interventionism...

No matter the many disasters piling up, notably Iraq, Palestine and now Ukraine, the neocons are undeterred and unrestrained. It's about power and murder but it is made palatable to themselves with flowery language about America saving the world for 'democracy'. Their belief in their own supremacy, cloaked in an American flag, remains fanatic, no matter the death and destruction they cause. They do not understand that American power has limits and to test that, they risk everything."

-- Joe Lauria, "The Madness of Antony Blinken", Consortium News, 2024-09-20

Note that neocon Dick Cheney, a former CFR director, has now "crossed party lines" to endorse Kamala Harris for President. More evidence that the CFR network sets the policy and controls the players in the political circus.

Same stuff, Different decade

On 11-Sep-1941, American aviator Charles Lindbergh Jr. made a speech trying to rally the American public against being dragged into WW2. At that time, Roosevelt's Secretary of War was CFR member Henry Stimson. Consider the ominous parallels to the present conflict, and Lindbergh's warning is just as relevant today:

"It is now two years since this latest European war began. From that day...until the present moment, there has been an ever-increasing effort to force the United States into the conflict. That effort has been carried on by foreign interests, and by a small minority of our own people; but it has been so successful that, today, our country stands on the verge of war...

At this time, as the war is about to enter its third winter, it seems appropriate to review the circumstances that have led us to our present position. Why are we on the verge of war? Was it necessary for us to become so deeply involved? Who is responsible for changing our national policy from one of neutrality and independence to one of entanglement in European affairs?

If you will look back over the record, you will find that those of us who oppose intervention have constantly tried to clarify facts and issues; while the interventionists have tried to hide facts and confuse issues...

Have you ever heard an interventionist, or a British agent, or a member of the administration in Washington ask you to go back and study a record of what they have said since the war started? Are their self-styled 'defenders of democracy' willing to put the issue of war to a vote of our people? Do you find these crusaders for freedom of speech? Or for the removal of censorship here in our own country?...

The three most important groups who have been pressing this country toward war are the British, the Jewish and the [Democrat] administration. Behind these groups... are a number of capitalists, anglophiles, and intellectuals who believe that the future of mankind depends upon the domination of the British empire...

These war agitators comprise only a small minority of our people; but they control a tremendous influence. Against the determination of the American people to stay out of war, they have marshaled the power of their propaganda, their money, and their patronage...

The danger of the [Democrat] administration lies in its subterfuge. While its members have promised us peace, they have led us to war heedless of the platform upon which they were elected... They planned: first, to prepare the United States for foreign war under the guise of American defense; second, to involve us in the war, step by step, without our realization; third, to create a series of incidents which would force us into the actual conflict. These plans were of course, to be covered and assisted by the full power of their propaganda...

We have become involved in the war from practically every standpoint except actual shooting. Only the creation of sufficient "incidents" yet remains; and you see the first of these already taking place, according to plan...a plan that was never laid before the American people for their approval."

-- Charles Lindbergh Jr, Speech to the America First Committee, 11-Sep-1941

[last updated Dec 2022]

Once again the "global leaders" of corporations, foundations, NGOs, and governments have gathered for the annual conference of the World Economic Forum in Davos. Like a flock of well-groomed vultures, they swoop into the alpine hideaway with their carbon-spewing private jets for a week of seminars and self-worship sessions led by WEF founder Klaus Schwab. Here's a sample of the arrogance and hypocrisy from this humanist guru and his techno-fascist "collaborators" as they plot to impose their "global agenda" on the rest of us:

"Let’s be clear: the future is not just happening, the future is built by us, a powerful community as you here in this room. We have the means to 'improve' the state of the world..."

-- Klaus Schwab, WEF conference address, 2022-05

Consider what the "global leaders" of the CFR/UN/WEF network have done to society over the past two years, and for many decades before that. How exactly have these elitist, autocratic schemers "improved" the state of the world? Who is still foolish enough to believe their deceptive "sustainable development" propaganda campaign? Or their man-made "climate change" hoax?

Isn't it clear by now that their so-called "liberal world order" is actually a self-serving liberal-fascist dictatorship? And that the mantra of "diversity" is a cynical ploy to disrupt family and community life? And that the "hate speech" label is merely an excuse for suppressing dissent?

If we fail to rise up and take back our liberty from these Luciferian overlords, then we are worse than slaves. The engineered collapse of society will accelerate, and a monolithic, anti-human control system will be installed. We will be tagged, tracked, herded, injected, and slaughtered like cattle, all in the name of "saving the planet".

" 'If there is hope,' wrote Winston, 'it lies in the proles.' If there was hope, it must lie in the proles, because only there in those swarming disregarded masses...could the force to destroy the Party ever be generated... If only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, they would have no need to conspire. They needed only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies...

He wrote: 'Until they become conscious they will never rebel; and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.'...

The Party claimed, of course, to have 'liberated' the proles from bondage... But simultaneously, true to the principles of doublethink, the Party taught that the proles were natural inferiors who must be kept in subjection, like animals... So long as they continued to work and breed*, their other activities were without importance...like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina... All that was required of them was a primitive patriotism which could be appealed to whenever it was necessary."

-- George Orwell, "1984", chapter 7

* note: The Davos inner party has declared that 'working and breeding' are incompatible with the "sustainable development" goals.

UPDATE: Listen to Schwab and creepy Pfizer chairman Albert Bourla discussing how to deal with "anti-vaxxers" who refuse to comply. Also see WEF sub-guru Yuval Harari discussing how to pacify and neuter the "useless people" in the new utopia using sex, drugs and video games, along the lines of Huxley's "Brave New World".

Many of Schwab's "collaborators", such as Bourla and Harari, are nominally Jewish. These include billionaire WEF trustees Larry Fink (BlackRock), David Rubenstein (Carlyle), and Marc Benioff (Salesforce) to name a few. Fink and Rubenstein are CFR directors. Bourla just won the "Genesis Prize" in Israel for his "contribution to humanity" (sic) and "commitment to Jewish values". The award notes that the chief science officers behind the Pfizer, Moderna, J&J and Sputnik vaccines are also Jewish, along with Biden's CDC director Walensky and "covid coordinator" Jeffrey Zients (CFR). See our previous comments on this alleged "contribution to humanity".

Yuval Harari is the atheist-homosexual author of Homo Deus, where he imagines the evolution of "man as god" -- but only men of the privileged class. This includes the "global leaders" willing to trade their souls for money and power, and to serve the humanist/materialist "synagogue of Satan". For more, see this critique of Harari's book. These predatory paragons of "Jewish values" would do well to heed the ancient warnings:

"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God...I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High! Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit... because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people." -- Isaiah 14

UPDATE: Here's an essay on the subject of "sustainable development" by humanist/evolutionist Thomas Huxley, grandfather of Aldous Huxley. Written decades before "Brave New World" in the academic style of the 19th century, Huxley outlines the problem faced by the would-be "world controllers" in their quest to build the humanist utopia, and exposes the hubris of men such as Schwab, Fink, Gates and Harari who would set themselves up as "gods" over the rest of us:

"Thus the Administrator might look to the establishment of an earthly paradise, a true garden of Eden, in which all things should work together towards the well-being of the [colonists]...by creating artificial conditions for them; not by allowing the free play of the struggle for existence, but by excluding that struggle; and by substituting selection directed towards the Administrator's ideal... [However,] as soon as the colonists began to multiply, the Administrator would have to face the tendency...of the competition, not merely for the commodities, but for the means of existence. When the colony reached the limit of possible expansion, the surplus population must be disposed of somehow...

Supposing the Administrator to be guided by purely scientific considerations, he would, like the gardener, meet this most serious difficulty by systematic extirpation, or exclusion, of the superfluous. The hopelessly diseased, the infirm aged, the weak or deformed in body or in mind, the excess of infants born, would be put away, as the gardener pulls up defective and superfluous plants, or as the breeder destroys undesirable cattle. Only the strong and the healthy, carefully matched with a view to the progeny best adapted to the purposes of the Administrator, would be permitted to perpetuate their kind...

A despotic government, whether individual or collective, is to be endowed with the preternatural intelligence, and with...the preternatural ruthlessness, required for the purpose of carrying out the principle of 'improvement by selection'.... It seems probable that a collective despotism, a mob got to believe in its own divine right by demagogic missionaries, would be capable of more thorough work in this direction than any single tyrant, puffed up with the same illusion, has ever achieved."

-- Thomas Huxley, "Evolution and Ethics", Prologue (1894)

UPDATE: James Corbett predicts that the CFR/UN/WEF techno-fascist project is doomed to fail. But how much damage will they inflict on society before then?

"The technocratic system of tyranny is going to fail. This is not wishful thinking; it's a cold statement of fact. Technocracy, in all its facets--from the UN's 2030 Agenda, to the brain chips and AI godheads of the transhumanists, to the CBDC social credit surveillance state--is anti-human. It goes against nature itself. It cannot work in the long run, and it is destined to fail... The quicker that we wake up and realize the power to change the world for the better is in our hands--not in the hands of the would-be world controllers--the sooner this nightmare will end."

-- James Corbett article

UPDATE: Here's an analysis of the real agenda behind the deceptive CFR/UN/WEF "sustainable development" marketing campaign. Note that the "Anglo-Americans" have been working closely with other global players to implement this program:

"The reality behind most, if not all, of the 'sustainable development goals' (SDG) are policies cloaked in the language of utopia that – in practice – will only benefit the economic elite and entrench their power. This can clearly be seen in fine print... The motivation behind the SDGs and Agenda 2030 is about retooling the same economic imperialism used by the Anglo-American empire in the post-World War II era...to enact a global neo-feudal model, perhaps best summarized as a model for “sustainable slavery.”

-- Iain Davis and Whitney Webb, "Sustainable Debt Slavery", part 1

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences."

-- Carroll Quigley, CFR historian, "Tragedy and Hope", 1966, pg 324

[last update April 2021, see below]

Joe Biden was declared "President Elect" by the CFR-connected media even before the votes were counted on Nov 4th. Evidence of massive vote fraud in several contested states was hidden from the public, and the courts and State legislatures failed to investigate. The "certified" electoral votes were accepted by the Congress on Jan 6th, and the result is now official (see below).

Biden himself is a pathetic figure; a doddering, corrupt political hack barely able to read his teleprompter script. He refers to Harris as the actual "president elect". Most of the key players on the incoming "Biden team" are members of the globalist Council on Foreign Relations and its network of interlocking affiliates. As in every previous administration since WW2, they will once again be running the show, with Biden as an easily manipulated figurehead.

Biden was recorded boasting to his CFR superiors about his shady dealings in Ukraine on behalf of his son Hunter Biden and other business partners, which were later investigated by a U.S. Senate committee. This story was ignored, and the salacious evidence of corruption and potential blackmail recently recovered from Hunter Biden's computer was hidden from voters by the CFR connected media.

"Joe Biden promised that he would form “the most diverse cabinet” in US history...but almost all of his key future cabinet members have one thing in common: they are members of the US Council on Foreign Relations (see list below)...

Most of Biden’s CFR-vetted nominees supported recent US wars against Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen as well as the 2014 regime change in Ukraine.... Neocon Max Boot, the CFR Senior Fellow in National Security Studies and one of the most vocal opponents of the Trump administration, has called Biden’s future cabinet “America’s A-Team”. Thus, after four years of “populism” and “isolationism”, a Biden presidency will mean the return of the CFR and the continuation of a [globalist] tradition of more than 70 years..."

-- Swiss Policy Research article. See also "The American Empire and Its Media"

Some of the key CFR and Trilateral members on the "Biden team":

* Sullivan, Blinken, Rice, Sherman, Brzezinski, Schmidt, Rouse and Burns are also members of the Trilateral Commission, a CFR affiliate.
* William Burns, a career State Dept official, is the recent president of the Carnegie Endowment, a CFR affiliate.
* Nicholas Burns, selected as Ambassador to China, is a CFR director.
* Victoria Nuland, married to long-time CFR member Robert Kagan, is the recent CEO of CNAS, a CFR affiliate.

The CFR is the flagship of the globalist "liberal world order" network which has dominated US policy since WW2. Most of the Fed chairmen and the secretaries of State, Treasury, Defense and CIA have been CFR members, along with senior politicians, military leaders, corporate executives, and media personalities. The MHP Database now includes all CFR members and directors since its founding a century ago; just enter any last name in the database search box.

Richard Stengel, former editor of Time magazine tapped to head the US propaganda department, called propaganda “a good thing” at a recent CFR meeting. Stengel is a Rhodes Scholar, along with Susan Rice, Jake Sullivan and CFR president Richard Haass. He is also a fellow at the Atlantic Council, a CFR affiliate founded and dominated by CFR members. The current owner of Time magazine, billionaire Marc Benioff of Salesforce, is a CFR member and a trustee at the World Economic Forum, another CFR affiliate. See our previous comments on the WEF/CFR "Great Reset".

Time founder Henry Luce and his assistant C.D. Jackson were also CFR members. Jackson was deputy chief of the "Psychological Warfare Division" during WW2, and after the war, Time/Life continued its propaganda activity under "Operation Mockingbird" led by CIA director Allen Dulles -- who was a CFR director for 40 years. Jackson was also a delegate to the UN Organizing Conference along with many other CFR members, including John F. Dulles and Alger Hiss. Most of the US ambassadors to the UN have been CFR members.

In a recent puff-piece interview with CFR asset Jake Tapper of CNN, Biden made it clear that he intends to "step aside" for health reasons to allow VP Kamala Harris and her husband, Jewish lawyer Douglas Emhoff, to occupy the White House, with Barack Obama covertly calling the shots from his Washington DC mansion. Obama himself is a protege of Jewish billionaire Penny Pritzker, a CFR member and former director, who is now chairman of the Carnegie Endowment, a CFR affiliate. Her cousin, billionaire Thomas Pritzker is a CFR member and chairman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), another CFR affiliate. Her brother J.B. Pritzker is the Governor of Illinois.

Kamala Harris' sister, Maya Harris, is also a CFR member and vice president for "Democracy, Rights and Justice" (sic) at the Ford Foundation, another CFR affiliate. Every president of the Ford Foundation since 1950, including Darren Walker, has been a CFR member. Along with the Bill Gates Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation, the Ford Foundation is a major promoter of the "liberal" population control and "sustainable development" goals of the CFR / UN / WEF elites.

The CFR and its interlocking network of affiliate organizations, including major corporations, foundations, universities, think tanks, and other NGOs, constitute "The Invisible Government" of this country. Our "democratic" elections and "representative" governments are a farce. Many authors mention the "deep state" or "the Fed" or "Wall Street", but seldom explore the integrated structure of this network and its authoritarian "global governance" objectives. Why is that?

"Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure -- one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."

-- David Rockefeller, CFR chairman 1970-85, "Memoirs", chapter 27 (2003)

"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."

-- Carroll Quigley, CFR historian, "Tragedy and Hope" (1966), pg. 1247

Vote Fraud Fiasco

UPDATE: As Quigley noted, the CFR oligarchs manipulate the bogus "democratic process" to serve their own agenda. Watch this shocking security camera video from inside the Georgia vote counting center on the night of the election. The legally required "observers" had been kept at the rear of the room all day and prevented from verifying the counting activity. They were finally told to leave the center at around 10:30 pm.

After everyone else had left, several workers (black Democrat partisans) began pulling thousands of pre-positioned ballots from underneath a covered table and continued running them through the tabulation machines until 01:00 am. A massive "vote dump" was then reported at 01:34 am, with 136,000 votes for Biden and only 29,000 for Trump, an improbable 5-to-1 ratio and enough to "flip" the Georgia election in favor of CFR frontman Joe Biden. Similar anomalous "vote dumps" also occurred in Michigan and Wisconsin soon afterwards. Evidence of substantial vote fraud, including statistical analysis of voting patterns, was hidden from the public by the establishment media.

UPDATE: The State of Texas filed suit at the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the mishandling of "absentee ballots" in several contested states, including Georgia, in violation of established State election laws. The Court refused to hear the case due to "lack of standing", and did not discuss the actual merits of the claim. Note that Justices Breyer and Gorsuch are/were CFR members.

UPDATE: Since the courts failed to act, several Republicans planned to challenge the electoral votes at the joint session of Congress on 6-Jan. The Senators called for a special Electoral Commission to conduct an investigation of the alleged vote fraud in the contested states, to be resolved by the affected State legislatures prior to the Presidential inauguration on 20-Jan.

Phony "Insurrection"

UPDATE: Donald Trump and his supporters held a massive rally in Washington D.C. near the White House on 6-Jan during the recording of the electoral college vote. A small group of agitators at the fringe of the crowd allegedly "forced" their way into the Capitol building, conveniently disrupting the challenges to the vote fraud in the contested states. After the intruders were removed, the Congress re-assembled and quickly rubber-stamped the remaining electoral votes. VP Mike Pence, who led the proceedings, was handed a "challenge coin" as a reward for his service to the establishment.

Shocking video inside a Capitol building hallway appears to show a black police officer shooting and killing an unarmed white female protestor. This incident was recorded and posted by socialist BLM/Antifa agitator John Sullivan (aka Jayden X), who helped instigate the brief "occupation" and was later arrested. He was accompanied by a female CNN reporter, both posing as Trump supporters. Watch this analysis of the entire event. Note the odd reactions of the other protestors, and the "thumbs up" signal given to the shooter by an armed officer standing behind the victim. UPDATE: In May, the family of the shooting victim announced a wrongful death lawsuit against the government. UPDATE: In August, Lt. Michael Byrd was "cleared" by an internal investigation, then boasted on NBC that he "saved countless lives" by gunning down Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed Air Force veteran.

UPDATE: Following the staged disruption at the Capitol, Democrat leaders Nancy Pelosi and long-time CFR member Chuck Schumer immediately called for President Trump to be removed from office. They were joined by Republican leaders Liz Cheney and Mitch McConnell. Liz Cheney is the daughter of former CFR director Dick Cheney. McConnell is the husband of long-time CFR member Elaine Chao. See the Quigley quote above.

UPDATE: The New York Times reported that "Trump loyalists" struck a Capitol police officer in the head with a fire extinguisher, resulting in his death several days later. This false report was echoed by the CFR "mockingbird media" for weeks, and the alleged "murder" of this "heroic officer" was presented as evidence during the failed Pelosi / McConnell impeachment circus. Having served its propaganda purpose, the story was then retracted by the NYT. (In April, the DC medical examiner finally reported that the officer had died of "natural causes".)

UPDATE: The CFR insiders were determined to dump Trump and return to the status quo, and all efforts to investigate and expose the 2020 election fraud have been blocked. According to long-time CFR member Patrick Byrne, Trump's lead attorney Rudy Giuliani was the key player who fumbled the ball during the critical period. Let the reader decide.

"I had a ringside seat to election events from Nov 3, 2020 to Jan 6, 2021, and feel a duty to explain to the world what really happened... This election steal should have been child’s play to reveal and reverse... To steal the national election one does not need 'widespread' election fraud... It only takes 'deep' election fraud in six cities to flip the swing states they are in, to thereby flip the electoral college, and to thereby steal the election nationally. Those cities are Atlanta, Philadelphia, Detroit, Milwaukee, Phoenix, and Las Vegas...”

-- Patrick Byrne, "How Donald J. Trump Lost the White House" : Preface, Intro, Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Chapter 6

CFR Triumph

UPDATE: As expected, the Biden dictatorship began by rubber-stamping dozens of "executive orders" implementing major policy changes in autocratic fashion, completely bypassing the "legislative process" and public debate. A majority of the Republican Senators also quickly approved all of Biden's CFR cabinet appointees.

UPDATE: In late Jan, the CFR journal "Foreign Affairs" published an anti-Trump rant, disparaging the pro-American, anti-globalist policies he promoted, and denigrating his supporters. The anti-democratic censorship of dissenting views has only intensified. See this critique of the CFR article.

UPDATE: In early Feb, the CFR mouthpiece Time magazine published an Orwellian article describing the heroic efforts by the “conspiracy” of “left-wing activists and business titans" which successfully prevented the re-election of Donald Trump. It fails to mention that they are all connected, either directly or indirectly, to the CFR. See this critique and this critique of the Time article. Time magazine is now owned by billionaire CFR member Marc Benioff, who is also a trustee at the Davos WEF.

UPDATE: In late March, Biden signed an "executive order" to further erode nationwide voting standards, naming Susan Rice to lead the effort. She is a Rhodes Scholar, a 30-year member of the CFR, and a former member of the Trilateral Commission as noted above.

UPDATE: In late March, several black executives, led by CFR director Kenneth Chenault (AmEx), posted an open letter in the New York Times. They claimed that the new Georgia "Election Integrity Act" requiring proper voter identification "discriminates" against black voters. Other signers include CFR members Kenneth Frazier (Merck), Richard Parsons (TimeWarner), Raymond McGuire (Citigroup), and Roger Ferguson Jr. (TIAA). Parsons is a trustee at the Rockefeller Foundation. Ferguson is a member of the Trilateral Commission. Frazier and Ferguson are members of the Rothschild "Council for Inclusive Capitalism". McGuire, of Rockefeller's Citigroup, is now running for mayor of New York City.

The global elites of the Davos World Economic Forum (WEF) network, including the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the CFR-connected media (see chart), have recently launched a full-spectrum marketing campaign for the "Great Reset", promoting a techno-fascist restructuring of the decaying "liberal world order" established by the CFR after WW2.

See this short propaganda video, posted by the WEF. Designed to elicit an emotional response, like an Orwellian "2 minute hate", it is devoid of actual content. It highlights various manufactured crises and chaos, suggests that these can be magically "reset", then ends with soothing nature scenes. The video was posted with this comment:

"There is an urgent need for global stakeholders to cooperate in simultaneously managing the direct consequences of the COVID-19 crisis. To improve the state of the world, the World Economic Forum is starting The Great Reset... The World Economic Forum is the international organization for Public-Private Cooperation. The Forum engages the foremost political, business, cultural and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas."

-- WEF Great Reset promo video

Who are these "global stakeholders" and what exactly is "public-private cooperation"? By what authority do these oligarchs "shape global agendas", and for whose benefit? Why should anyone trust them to "manage" these created "crises"?

The U.N. World Health Organization works in "cooperation" with various NGOs, including the WEF and the multi-billion dollar Bill Gates Foundation, which provides a major share of its funding. WHO director Tedros sat on the board of the Gates Global Vaccine Alliance (GAVI). Bill Gates is also a major supporter of the WEF.

In Oct 2019, just prior to the Wuhan virus outbreak, the Johns Hopkins "Center for Health Security" held a pandemic response exercise called "Event 201", sponsored by the Gates Foundation and the WEF. See our previous comments.

In Jan 2020, the WEF held its annual conference on the theme "The Future of Work". Immediately afterwards, the "pandemic response" kicked into high gear with the suspension of international air travel, shutdown of business, direct subsidy payments, "working from home", etc. In Jun 2020, the WEF announced the rollout of the "Great Reset".

In Sep 2020, the "Atlantic Festival" featured speakers Bill Gates, Hillary Clinton, and NIH official Anthony Fauci who is "managing" the pandemic response. Atlantic magazine, which poses as "liberal" opposition, is owned by billionaire Laurene Powell-Jobs, who is also a CFR director.

In Nov 2020, Time magazine devoted an entire issue to the "Great Reset" featuring WEF founder Klaus Schwab. Time Inc is now owned by billionaire Marc Benioff (Salesforce), who is a trustee at the WEF and a member of the CFR. Fellow WEF trustees include billionaires Laurence Fink (BlackRock) and David Rubenstein (CarlyleGrp), who are also CFR directors.

UPDATE: The pharma company Pfizer, which receives millions in grants from the Gates Foundation, recently revealed positive test results for an experimental mRNA Covid-19 vaccine. They waited until immediatedly after the US presidential election to make the announcement. Both Pfizer and BlackRock, which owns $15B in Pfizer shares, are CFR corporate sponsors.

Much has already been written about the plans for the "Great Reset" and consolidation of the corporatist world order. Here are a few samples:

"The Great Reset agenda, through its messengers and through its money, is shaping both the schizophrenic “pandemic response” and the well-funded, super corporate “social justice / climate change” movement... Both pretend to promote pubic good, and both skillfully weaponize real issues and get a rise out of people...all to clear the way for the financial goals of the “great resetters”, including complete erosion of privacy, moving all human activities online, etc... Sadly, the crazies are rich and well-connected, and they can hire a million underlings to put on a convincing, feel-good, rational external-facing presentation about their new religion."

"[They] are using the Covid-19 crisis to bypass democratic accountability, to override opposition, to accelerate their agenda, and to impose it on the rest of humankind against our will... This new fascism is today being advanced in the guise of global governance, biosecurity, the 'new normal', and the 'Fourth Industrial Revolution'... "The 'partnerships' which the WEF creates are aimed at replacing democracy with a global leadership of hand-picked and unelected individuals whose duty is not to serve the public, but to impose the rule of the wealthy 1% on that public...[using] relentless brainwashing propaganda churned out by the mass media and academia."

-- Winter Oak article

Richard Haass, a Rhodes Scholar and long-time president of the Rockefeller CFR, recently published an article in the CFR journal Foreign Affairs lamenting the ongoing collapse of the "liberal world order" engineered by the CFR and its affiliates during the past century. The article is a well-polished justification for even more of the same corporatist central planning at home and neo-colonialism abroad which is directly responsible for the current unstable situation.

"The economic dimension of this order was designed to bring about a world...defined by trade, development, and well-functioning (sic) monetary operations. 'Free trade' would be an engine of economic growth and bind countries together so that war would be deemed too costly to wage; the dollar was accepted as the de facto global currency. The diplomatic dimension of the order gave prominence to the UN. The idea was that a standing global forum could prevent or resolve international disputes. The UN Security Council, with five great-power permanent members and additional seats for a rotating membership, would orchestrate international relations. Yet the order depended just as much on the willingness of the noncommunist world (and U.S. allies in particular) to accept American primacy...

What we are seeing today resembles the mid-nineteenth century in important ways: the post-World War II, post-Cold War order cannot be restored, but the world is not yet on the edge of a systemic crisis. Now is the time to make sure one never materializes, be it from a breakdown in U.S.-Chinese relations, a clash with Russia, a conflagration in the Middle East, or the cumulative effects of climate change."

-- Foreign Affairs article

We leave it to the reader to spot the inconsistencies and omissions in this story, which glosses over the role of the CFR network, its agents in government, and its corporate partners in banking, energy, defense and the media during the past 80 years. Note the passive voice in the wording above, which falsely suggests that all these events just somehow "happened", even as these self-proclaimed architects of "global governance" are setting the stage for the next "systemic crisis" which will provide the justification to scrap the old order and to roll out an even more onerous replacement.

"The most effective weapon at the disposal of the globalists and their central banking counterparts is an engineered economic crisis...a weapon that can influence a population to embrace even greater enslavement while viewing their slave masters as saviors rather than villains... If the goal of the banking elites is total centralization of the global economy, then keeping the U.S. system alive for another decade or longer makes little sense. They have already created the perfect financial bubble using QE and near zero interest rates to encourage debt accumulation at historic levels. It’s a veritable economic atomic bomb, why not use it?...

At the beginning of this year...I predicted that Jerome Powell would push forward with interest rate hikes and balance sheet cuts. This would put extreme pressure on highly indebted corporations... Not only has Powell in fact done exactly what I predicted, but that he has done it consciously, knowing what the results would be... The truth is that the Fed is working towards an ideological end game of global centralization; this means one economy, one currency and eventually one world government; a plan which has been openly admitted to by globalists in the past. It has no loyalty to the U.S. system, and it will destroy the U.S. system if it must to achieve this prize."

-- Brandon Smith article

The privately owned Federal Reserve System is a major part of the CFR network. Most of the Fed chairmen since WW2 including Powell, Yellen and Greenspan, and nearly all of the presidents of the New York Fed have been CFR members. Bernanke and Yellen are now at Brookings, a CFR affiliate. Banker Paul Warburg of Kuhn Loeb, the "architect of the Fed", was a CFR founding director. Today, banking sector sponsors of the CFR include Citigroup, JPMorgan/Chase, Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, Blackstone, and AIG to name a few.

Chairmen of the CFR since WW2 include Russell Leffingwell (JPMorgan), John J. McCloy (Chase), David Rockefeller (Citi, Chase), Pete Peterson (Lehman, Blackstone), Robert Rubin (Goldman, Citi), and David Rubenstein (CarlyleGrp). Other CFR directors include Laurence Fink (BlackRock), Timothy Geithner (Warburg), Maurice Greenberg (AIG), and George Soros. Members include Jamie Dimon (JPMorgan), Lloyd Blankfein (Goldman) and Henry Paulson (Goldman).

Other sponsors of the CFR "liberal world order" include defense contractors Lockheed, Boeing, Northrop, Raytheon; oil companies Exxon, Chevron, Shell, BP; and media giants Time-Warner, Reuters, Google and Facebook. Several of their execs have also been CFR directors.

"It's good to have an outpost of the Council right here down the street from the State Department. We get a lot of 'advice' from the Council, so this will mean I won't have as far to go to be told what we should be doing and how we should think about the future."

-- Hillary Clinton, wife of CFR member Bill Clinton, speech at CFR, 2009-07-15

"For both Russia and the United States, that [common] adversary was not simply another nation-state like England or France, but a financial international bent on controlling the world through elaborate fraud, war, and revolution. Banking dynasties under names like Rothschild, and later Morgan, Warburg, and Rockefeller, had ascended to power in the West from the seventeenth century onward. Their planned global imperium of borderless labor and capital flows, today promoted as the 'Open Society' by billionaire speculators such as George Soros, was already entering its initial stages of implementation. Thus the fledgling American Republic, an Enlightenment project but not yet under bankster domination, and Imperial Russia could unite for the freedom of their peoples and against the assaults of the Money Power.

What changed? In the early twentieth century the masters of usury struck back decisively against the United States and Russia, by stealth in the former case and an outright coup d’état in the latter. Through various machinations, the privately-run Federal Reserve Bank was established in 1913 to issue the US currency at interest, suborning institutions of government and crushing Americans with a national debt now counted in unfathomable trillions. The Great War was unleashed upon Europe in a nightmarish conflagration, and in 1917 the Russian Revolution, funded by the banking houses of London and Wall Street, installed a vicious Bolshevik regime – dependent on Western credit for the whole of its existence. As for the rest of the twentieth century, we witness globalist plutocrats’ use of dialectics, wielding ideologies as weapons and pitting nation against nation, in the Hegelian procession toward the World State...

[They consitute] a cosmopolitan oligarchy that sets policy, subsidizes scholarship, and manufactures consent in pursuit of its totalitarian agenda. In their quest to liquidate the American, the Russian, and every other unique people, the predators from the bankster international consider themselves above all laws human and divine."

"Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang met with former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in Beijing, urging the two countries to properly settle differences in bilateral relations and promote the healthy growth of relations...

Kissinger and his delegation came to Beijing for the third meeting of the "China-US Track Two High-Level Dialogue", a gathering for dozens of retired prominent diplomats and officials from both countries. Former Chinese State Councilor Tang Jiaxuan and Kissinger led the two sides in the dialogue. The US delegation also included former Secretary of State George P. Shultz, former Secretary of the Treasury Robert Rubin and former US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen."

These meetings were almost completely ignored by the U.S. media, even though current U.S. officials including Defense Secretary Robert Gates were present at previous sessions.

"Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates participates in the U.S. and China Track Two discussions with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, former Secretary of State George Shultz, former Secretary of Treasury Robert Rubin, former Secretary of Defense William Perry, former State Councilor for the People's Republic of China Tang Jiaxuan and other members of their delegations in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 18, 2010. The discussions are part of a two-day dialogue to help improve U.S.-China relations."

It really doesn't matter which party hack wins the U.S. election this fall; the so-called democratic process is irrelevant. This cadre of permanent, unelected "former officials" conducts U.S. policy behind the scenes for globalist organizations such as the Council on Foreign Relations regardless of which administration is in office. Rubin is the current co-chairman of the CFR, and both Kissinger and Shultz are former directors.

One might even call them agents of "an invisible government"...

"What we [British] Atlanticists want is not a merger, but a free trade area. We'd like an organic, not a governmental union; ties between citizens, businesses and civic associations, not a combination of state structures. And we aim for it to embrace, not just Britain and the US, but the community of free English-speaking democracies - the Anglosphere. In fact, by coincidence, Iain Murray and James C Bennet explain how it would work in today's Wall Street Journal."

-- Daniel Hannan, London Telegraph

The idea of an English-speaking union has been around since the days of Alfred Milner, Cecil Rhodes and Andrew Carnegie. It may make more sense now than it did a century ago, considering the rapid rise of other ethnic and religious blocs.

"Let men say what they will, I say that as surely as the sun in the heavens once shone upon Britain and America united, so surely is it one morning to rise, to shine upon, to greet again the reunited state, "The British-American Union."

-- Andrew Carnegie, "Triumphant Democracy", 1893, p. 549

"British 'imperialists' of the modern school (of which I am one...) when speaking of the British Empire think...of a group of States, independent of one another in local affairs, although bound together in defense of their common interests and the development of a common civilization."

-- Lord Alfred Milner, New York Times, 1916-06-11

For background, see "Brotherhood of Darkness" in our article section.

"A deepening row over the London School of Economics and its dealings with the Gaddafi regime [of Libya] has claimed the career of the university's director. Sir Howard Davies resigned after fresh revelations that the institution had been involved in a deal worth £2.2m to train hundreds of young Libyans to become part of the country's future elite. [Director Davies was also an advisor to Gaddafi's "sovereign wealth fund"].

An independent inquiry headed by Lord Woolf...will examine the LSE's relationship with Libya and with Muammar Gaddafi's son Saif al-Islam... which include a donation of £1.5m from a charitable foundation run by Saif, who studied at the LSE... Woolf will also examine the "academic authenticity" of Saif's doctoral thesis... The LSE Council will carry out its own investigation into the running of LSE Global Governance, the research centre that accepted the Gaddafi donation."

-- London Guardian

"As [Libyan] state security forces were reported to be firing relentlessly into crowds of civilian protesters on Monday, and with Saif Gaddafi appearing on television to threaten a civil war in which the regime "will fight to the last minute, until the last bullet", many of his erstwhile associates were questioning their friendships with him...

In the introduction to his [LSE] doctoral dissertation on global governance, published in 2008, Gaddafi wrote: "I shall be primarily concerned with what I argue is the central failing of the current system of global governance in the new global environment: that it is highly undemocratic."

While studying for his PhD, Saif enjoyed a life of considerable luxury in one of London's wealthiest and most prestigious suburbs... During his time in London Gaddafi mixed socially with Lord Mandelson and the financier Nathaniel Rothschild, and was said to be on friendly terms with the Duke of York [Prince Andrew].

He played a leading role in talks that led to the 2009 release of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the man convicted of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing in which 270 people died. While flying Megrahi home to Libya on a private jet, Gaddafi Jr gave a television interview in which he said the release had been linked to lucrative business deals."

-- London Guardian

"The Duke of York [who was trade ambassador at the time] is also said to have played a behind-the-scenes role in encouraging the terrorist's release."

-- London Telegraph

So, Gaddafi says that global governance "is highly undemocratic"?? He should know. But this stunning revelation is hardly worth a Ph.D. from the prestigious LSE. According to the directors of the LSE Global Governance centre:

"It is the lack of state authority...that gives rise to a combination of political and criminal violence... What is needed are global security forces, much like emergency forces within a well-governed state... Of course, global institutions exist that are supposed to deal with finance, economic development, security and the environment. But these institutions are fragmented and access to power is very unequal...

Global climate change has been called a threat more serious than that of international terrorism, and the greatest market failure the world has ever seen. Climate change and other human induced damage to the environment are, of course, associated with the spread of the energy intensive model of development... We can only solve the economic crisis if we can generate sustainable growth and this can only be done through matching potential productivity gains from new technologies with appropriate expenditure on a global low-carbon infrastructure and the redistrubution of resources to the most vulnerable."

-- "The Hydra-Headed Crisis", by David Held, et al

Of course, the author expects the reader to accept this premise without question, along with the bold claim that "redistribution" is the only course of action to solve the world's problems. These proposals would require central planning and "state authority" on a scale that would dwarf the oppressive and inefficient Soviet Union, but the Fabian Socialist founders of the LSE were prime sponsors of that utopian failure also.

They tolerate the appearance of democracy, as long as it doesn't interfere with actual "governance" of the herd.

The myth of "human induced" climate change is the simply the latest pretext for establishing a global dictatorship with Young Global Leaders like oil barons Nathaniel Rothschild and his pal Saif Gaddafi in the vanguard. See our article "The Earth Charter and the Ark of Hope" for more on the sustainable development agenda, including a point-by-point analysis of the Earth Charter.

UPDATE: In May, the International Criminal Court (ICC) in Europe charged Muammar and Saif Gaddafi with "crimes against humanity".

UPDATE: A story on Israel's Channel 2 last year revealed that Muammar Gaddafi's mother was Jewish, which technically makes him Jewish as well.

"The killing of a Southern Arizona rancher that sparked an outcry to secure the border was not random... Robert Krentz was found gunned down on his ranch northeast of Douglas a day after his brother reported drug-smuggling activity to the Border Patrol that led to the seizure of 290 pounds of marijuana and the arrest of eight people on the ranch. The night of the killing, officers followed a single set of footprints to the U.S.-Mexico border, [Sheriff] Dever said.

That sparked widespread speculation that Krentz was killed by an illegal immigrant or a drug smuggler from Mexico. In the ensuing weeks, the killing became symbolic of Arizona's porous and violent border, setting off a flurry of demands from residents, politicians and law enforcement leaders for more troops and resources to the border." -- Arizona Star
