Passed off as a think-tank, this group is a key "power behind the throne," with hundreds of top-appointed government officials drawn from its ranks. Traces activity from the Wilson to Reagan administrations. >From the Back Cover Does America have a hidden oligarchy? Is U.S. foreign policy run by a closed shop? What is the Council on Foreign Relations? It began in 1921 as a front organization for J.P. Morgan and Company. By World War II it had acquired unrivaled influence on American foreign policy. Hundreds of U.S. government administrators and diplomats have been drawn from its ranks - regardless of which party has occupied the White House. But what does the Council on Foreign Relations stand for? Why do the... read more ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wake-up America, March 2, 1999 Reviewer: A reader from USA This book could be titled " Suppressed American History of the 20th Century." Perloff traces the history of the American Establishment, through its political arm, the Council on Foreign Relations. The aims of the CFR and the Establishment are clear - a World Government, removal of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. What is more frightening is the Establishment control of the media and education. Please read this book! You will never watch the news the same way again. Was this review helpful to you?

[EMAIL PROTECTED], February 23, 2001 Reviewer: Sean F (see more about me) from Austin, Texas For any one who remotly cares about America, read this book, stop supporting: the UN, DNC, RNC, WTO, and countless others. In the back of the book there is a CFR list from 1993, I believe, so you can see which famous persons are in the CFR. Remember, the CFR is to destroy national sovernignty. www.getusout.org join thr JBS www.jbs.com James does a better job than I could ever do to explain this emergency!

Never again will you have blind confidence in any of our leaders, let alone in the UN, NATO, WTO, IMF, or other such internationalist outfits. Although the book stops in 1988, reading it (which is a quick, albeit shocking, process) will allow you to draw the proper conclusions and apply them to the present. The power elite fell out of love with Soviet Russia sometime around 1980-85, because 70 years of socialism in a heterogeneous, traditionally non-commercial country had finally brought that situation to the logical conclusion so accurately foreseen by Ludwig von Mises in 1922 (see _Socialism_ by that author). Thus the present elitist lovefest with Red China - which is Communist in name only, and is everything that Russia never was (commercially inclined, and ethnically and culturally homogeneous). As a result, the Soviet government was allowed to die a well-deserved death, but not before elitists like President George H.W. Bush actually tried to convince the captive nations of the Soviet empire (specifically Ukraine and the Baltic States) to remain loyal to the concept of union with Moscow. This he did even AFTER the collapse of the August 1991 coup, up until the very eve of the establishment of the CIS on December 8, 1991 and the final dissolution of the so-called USSR. Today the subversion process takes on a new form, with fifteen nations instead of one - one step backward, in the hopes of taking two steps forward at a later date. Very Leninistic. Now the prospective empire is the European Union, an entity with a centralizing government in Brussels, its own army (NATO), its own central bank and currency (the Euro), and its own court (The Hague) - and yet it has no constitution subordinating any of these institutions to responsible civilian rule. See a potential problem there? Reading this book helps to explain why so many "former" Communists - such as Mikhail Gorbachev, Jane Fonda, and Joschka Fischer - have readily converted to the militant environmental movement and its pagan ethos. The Green tree has Red roots. Both the socialist and environmentalist movements offer their disturbed adherents a false messiah. Communism substitutes the Second Coming for the Social Revolution. The Greens offer Mother Earth (a creation, and thus an idol) in the place of God the Father and Civitas Dei. Always the message put to the people by the empire builders is the same: "It's an emergency! The world is in danger! Give us power to deal with it or you will all die!" That's how it happened in Berlin after the Reichstag fire in 1933: A staged emergency, followed by calls for dictatorial "emergency rule." In the case of Nazi Germany and its Enabling Act, we all know how that adventure turned out. The rank and file socialists and environmentalists (such as the Naderites and the idiot protestors at both party conventions in August 2000) are too stupid to even realize that they are puppets in the hands of the "rich" they think they are fighting. As Gerald Kirk, a former member of the SDS, Black Panthers and Communist Party USA pointed out in Congressional testimony in 1969: "Young people have no conception of the conspiracy's strategy of pressure from above and pressure from below....They have no idea that they are playing into the hands of the Establishment they claim to hate. The radicals think they're fighting the forces of the super rich, like Rockefeller and Ford, and they don't realize that it is precisely such forces which are behind their own revolution, financing it, and using it for their own purposes..." However, while this book is incredibly enlightening, I must offer readers one note of caution - do not fall into the trap of believing that the leaders of the United States from 1789-1912 were perfect Americans, and then the Money Trust subversion of our government suddenly began with the election of Woodrow Wilson. God bless America - but remember that secret societies and freemasons played a prominent role in her founding from the very beginning. The struggle we are involved in goes at least as far back as 1517, and in reality all the way back to time immemorial, the struggle between good versus evil, heaven versus hell, and the glory of God versus the arrogance of man.

Think Again!, January 15, 2001 Reviewer: supplysider (see more about me) from Germantown, MD USA The people we vote into office are the ones who govern us, right? We are a constitutional republic, right? We are a representative democracy, right? If you think so, think again. For many years, an idea has circulated that what we see is not necessarily what we are getting; that there may be a "man behind the curtain" running the show. In this book, James Perloff reveals who that "man" may be ... or more accurately whom the men and women are who really run the show. Before reading this book, I often scoffed at the conspiracists who railed against the invisible forces of the "Shadow Government." However, I am no longer certain that my doubts are well founded. In this book, Perloff makes a well-documented case that suggests an undercurrent to abolish the nation/state (national sovereignty) and to replace it with one-world-government New World Order. Those responsible for creating and maintaining the undercurrent are members of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Trilateral Commission (TC). Members of these organizations have had a disproportionate representation in places of power over the last sixty years. When one understands the philosophy and goals of these organizations, many seemingly disjoint events of American history begin to make sense. No American should take this subject lightly. Every American has a responsibility to inform themselves on such matters. I recommend that they do so by reading this book.
