-Caveat Lector- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"> </A> -Cui Bono?- HOW THEY USE OUR FOREIGN POLICY To the vast majority of Americans our Foreign Policy is a complete enigma. Most of us simply cannot understand why this great nation is floundering so (seemingly) helplessly in the art of diplomacy. We cannot understand why our leaders are (seemingly) so confused and bewildered in all their dealings with Moscow. We always hear them proclaiming that in view of our overwhelming economic and military superiority we must always "lead from strength." Yet, in all the Summit Meetings and Conferences they cringe and stammer and stutter and, so to speak, come out with their tails between their hind legs. We cannot understand the Foreign Aid to Tito, an avowed enemy - to Poland, an avowed enemy - to all the avowed communist nations. We cannot understand why the expenditure of scores of billions of dollars has failed to slow down, let alone stop, the march of communism. We are perplexed by the (seeming) ineptness of the State Department - of the CIA - of the USIA - of All our Federal Agencies.. Again and again and again we have been startled, shocked, horrified by their mistakes in Berlin, in Korea, in Laos, in Viet Nam, in Katanga, in Cuba... mistakes that always favor the Enemy - never the United States! Under the law of averages they should have made at least one or two mistakes in our favor - but they never did... What is the answer? The answer is that no one can really understand our Foreign Relations until one knows the parts played by such organizations as the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR), the Foreign Policy Associations (FPA), the World Affairs Councils (WAC, the notorious American For Democratic Action and similar organizations. Earlier I established with prima facie evidence how the masterminds (Schiff, et al) financed the take-over of Russia and fashioned its Communist regime into becoming their chief instrument to keep the world in turmoil, and to finally terrorize all of us into seeking PEACE in a One-World Government! However the masterminds knew that Moscow could not become such an instrument until and unless the whole world would accept that communist regime as the legitimate (de jure) government of Russia. Only one thing could accomplish that: Recognition by the United States.... the world would follow our lead. Throughout the three US Republican Administrations that followed Wilson the Masterminds pulled every trick in their bag to induce Harding, Coolidge and Hoover to grant that Recognition,but to no avail. As a result, beginning in the mid-1920's, the Stalin regime was in dire straits. Despite all the purges and secret police controls the Russian people were growing more and more restive. It is a matter of record, admitted by Litvinov, that during 1931 and 1932 Stalin and his whole gang were always packed and ready for instant flight. Then, in November 1932, the masterminds achieved their greatest coup: they landed Franklin D. Roosevelt in the White House. Crafty, unscrupulous, utterly without conscience, he turned the trick for them: without even asking consent of Congress, he unlawfully, proclaimed "Recognition" for the Stalin regime. That did it! Automatically, the whole world did follow our lead - automatically, that squelched the previously growing resistance movement of the Russian people...automatically, that launched the greatest menace the civilized world has ever known. SAVING STALIN AND COMMUNISM We know how FDR and his corrupt State Department kept building up the Communist menace right here in our own country - and, thus throughout the world... We know how his Black Widow of Hyde Park maneuvered our Immigration authorities to admit known Communist spies and saboteurs, such as the Eislers... We know how she provided her First Lady prestige to every vicious, traitorous Red Front during her years in the White House, that she even allowed her protege, Joe Lash, to use the White House for his Young Communist activities... We also know how that charlatan (FDR) perpetrated that Pearl Harbour atrocity to hurl us into World War II, to once again save Stalin and Communism! We know all that, and we also know how he (with the aid of Eisenhower) delivered the Balkans and Berlin to Moscow, and last, but not least, that he not only dragged us into that new corridor (the United Nations) to a One-World Gevernment, but actually schemed all the arrangements to plant it within our country. >From the day Roosevelt stepped into the White House the masterminds came into full control of our Foreign Policy, and believe you me, they've made (and are making) frightening progress with it. The betrayal of Chiang Kai Shek and delivery of China to the Reds was accomplished in the name of Foreign Relations Policy... ditto the murder of Mihailovitch and the delivery of Yugoslavia to Tito... ditto Hungary, Cuba, Katanga... ditto The Marshall Plan (Foreign Aid Plot), which is draining us of all our wealth and resources - to build up Communist nations! The Wilson debacle brought the masterminds to the realization that control of onlythe Democratic Party was not enough! True, they could create a crisis during a Republican Administration (as they did in 1929 with their Federal Reserve manufactured crash and depression) which would bring a Democratic stooge back into the White House. But the four or eight years of disruption in their control of our Foreign Relations policies would play havoc with the progress of the Conspiracy, it could even break up their entire strategy. (As it almost did before Roosevelt saved it with his Recognition of the Stalin regime!) Thereupon, immediately after that Wilson debacle, they began to formulate plans to achieve control of BOTH (!) of our National Political Parties. Control of just the man (the President) in the White House would not be enough. They'd have to provide that "man" with trained "stooges" for his entire Cabinet, ...men to head the State Department, the Treasury Department, the Pentagon, the CIA, the USIA etc... In short every member of the various Cabinets would have to be a chosen tool of the masterminds. Ditto all Under-Secretaries and Assistant-Secretaries. That would give the masterminds absolute control of all our Policies, both Domestic and (most inportant) Foreign! That course of action would require a reserve corps (pool) of trained stooges instantaneously ready for Administration changes - and for all other exigencies. All such stooges would of necessity have to be men of national reputation - high in the esteem of the people. Naturally, they would have to be men without honor, without scruple, without conscience. Therefore, the first step was to invite a thousand or more of such carefully selected unscrupulous opportunists to "membership" in a select and highly exclusive "Club" to be known as THE COUNCIL OF FOREIGN RELATIONS (CFR). First, let me stress that CFR was scheduled to be the most important and vital cog in the entire "wheel" of the Great Conspiracy. It can best be described as the State Department (plus CIA) of the Conspiracy. ALL authority in the organization is vested in the Executive Committee, and all members of the Executive Committee are chosen from the hierarchy of the Internationalist-Communist Conspiracy (ICC). By that token, the Hierarchy of the ICC is the Hierarchy of the CFR! The invited members (1500 at this time) have no voice in the formulation of policies, or in arriving at decisions. In short, they are merely tools of the Hierarchy, to be used as the Hierarchy sees it fit. In other words: "theirs is not to reason why, theirs is but to do, or DIE." Colonel House was the chief founder and architect of this sinister organization. Some years earlier he had written the book (now suppressed): "Philip Dru, Administrator," in which he blueprinted how to create and operate a (Socialist) One-World Dictatorship. Obviously, the masterminds considered him the best possible organizer of the new Club. His chief assistant was Bernard Baruch, who was in charge of the selection and screening of the men to be "invited" to the membership of the Club. Among the other organizers we find the names of Robert Lansing, Wilson's Secretary of State, and his two nephews, John and Allen Dulles; Jacob and Mortimer Schiff; Paul and James Warburg; Otto H. Kahn, of Kuhn-Loeb; Robert Gordon Sproul; James D. Zellerbach; James Conant; Winthrop Aldrich; Myron C. Taylor; Thomas Lamont; Sidney Hillman; Herbert Lehman; the Rockefellers: John dr. jr., Nelson, David and John D. 3rd; US Supreme Court Justice Brandeis and his nephew, Felix Frankfurter; Supreme Court Justices Roberts and Douglas, and last, but by no means least, Harry Dexter White, Moscow's most valuable spy in the US Treasury Department. At the outset, the CFR was limited to the membership of 1000. Five hundred of the original thousand were so-called "resident members," meaning they lived within 50 miles of the City Hall of New York City. The other 500 were those whose business and/or professions required them to live in other parts of the country - and they were known as "non-resident members". Now you may wonder how such a small group of men can control the thinking (!) of the vast majority of the American people? Well, perhaps you will stop wondering when you find out that William Benton, who controls the publication of the Encyclopedia Britannica, is one of the highly prized embers of CFR. So is Eric Johnston, czar of the MOTION PICTURE industry, plus other Hollywood moguls. Other chief figures in the MASS COMMUNICATIONS MEDIA, who are "higher-ups" in the CFR, are Arthur Sulzberger, publisher of the NEW YORK TIMES; as was the late Eugene Meyer, owner of the WASHINGTON POST and NEWSWEEK; Henry Luce of LIFE and TIME MAGAZINES; John and Gardner Cowles of Cowles Publications; Ervin Canham and Joe C. Harsch of the CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR - and that only scratches the surface in the Press! In addition, the Sarnoffs, the Paleys, the heads of ALL the TV and Radio networks are loyal members (agents?-ed) of CFR. In short, virtually all of the important newspapers, wire services and national magazines are thus controlled by CFR, and of course by ICC.. ditto Radio and Television... ditto Hollywood. Is it any wonder that the vast majority of the American people are unaware of the overall Great Conspiracy? What information and alerting they get comes to them through the small and medium sized community newspapers owned and/or controlled by loyal Americans, and through publications issued by the various patriotic organizations. It is important to note that the CFR never OPENLY wielded those powers. They always kept themselves in the background, all their operations very hush-hush, to keep the population in dark about the existence of this organization. IS THIS DEMOCARCY? As we know, the CFR was created to achieve one objective: control of the man (the President) in the White House, and his Cabinet. And that job was accomplished! Thus, both of our national political parties (Republican and Democratic) go through all the motions of conventions to nominate their candidates. BUT the choice is made in avance - and all the voting and roll calls are just well-staged shows! All potential candidates must first be approved by CFR, all candidates must be members in good standing of CFR. Thus, since the early 1920's (up until today in the 1990's!-Ed.), all candidates for the Presidency were members of CFR, including John W. Davis, Al Smith, Herbert Hoover, Wendell Wilkie, F.D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Henry A. Wallace, Thomas E. Dewey, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Adlai Stevenson, Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy.... all our Presidents since 1932 have been controlled members of the CFR! ... ditto the defeated candidates. CFR-BOYS EVERYWHERE AEC - Contrary to general beliefs that every President-elect has sole control of all appointements to his cabinet, the records show that the CFR has for many years been dictating all such appointments. As a matter of fact, even before the CFR came into being, the choice of men for the Cabinets was controlled by the heads of the Parties. The Atomic Energy Commission also has been loaded with CFR members right from the outset! Among them were Lewis L. Strauss, David Lilienthal, Robert J. Oppenheimer, the notorious Communist collaborator, and Bernard Baruch, who as the US representative on the UN Atomic Energy Commission, plotted for the treasonous transfer of all our Nuclear Secrets to UN authority!!! PENTAGON AND THE SENATE - It was Fulbright who engineered the plot to muzzle General Walker and to censor the speeches of all other military figures. Why did they delete all criticism of Communism from all the speeches? Fulbright is the Rhodes Scholar and Fabian Socialist who proclaimed that our constitution is out-dated and out-moded, and in so many words, that what we need (MUST HAVE!) is a One-World Government! There is only one sure-cure for this disease in Washington: we must inform the people of this secret agency and we must scan the backgrounds of every political aspirant and run all CFR members out of the political fields. THE UNITED NATIONS Now, as we know, the UNITED NATIONS is the crux of the ICC plot, the intended housing for their One-World Government. It is commonly accepted that the architects of the UN charter were Alger Hiss, Leo Posvolsky and Molotov, all the dedicated agents of the Great Conspiracy, but actually they only filled in the verbiage of a blueprint prepared for them by the Hierarchy. The CFR operate their surface activities out of their lush offices in a handsome building on the southwest corner of Park Avenue and 68th Street in New York, right across the street from the building occupied by the Soviet Embassy to the UN, but nobody knows when and where the Hierarchy hold their secret conclaves. It could be in Hot Springs, Virginia, or at Bernard Baruch's lush Hobcaw estate in South Carolina, or maybe in Nelson Rockefeller's New York apartment... Or perhaps in the White House?! - Early in 1942, on direct order from Roosevelt, a large suite of rooms on the top floor of the White House was set aside for "top secret conferences." That suite contained living quarters as well as offices, and it was declared "strictly out of bounds" for all staff members and servants employed in the White House! What strange group of individuals had access to those mysterious quarters! Specifically: Alger Hiss, Leo Posvolsky, Harry Dexter White, Dean Acheson, F.D. Roosevelt of course, Herbert Lehman, Bernard Baruch, the Russian Ambassador, and a man who called himself "Brown", who furtively sneaked in and out through the servants entrance of the White House. Each of the men had his own key to that "Top Secret Conference" suite, and the "keeper of the keys" was none other than Harry Hopkins...! And that was the workshop in which the United Nations was constructed. The final draught of the Charter was completed in the very late months of 1943, almost two years after they began work on it. That may seem like a long time, but they were playing around with a very tricky document, they had to find ways to camouflage all the traps in it, such as the WORLD COURT plot. They had to include provisions which would later enable them to lure us into Treaties, such as "GENOCIDE" - "UNESCO" -"WHO" (World Health Organization) - the reprehensible "GATT", which would outlaw our Tariff Laws, etc... each one of which would nullify some particular provision in the American Constitution, until, gradually, we'd have no constitution left, and the Laws of the UN would become the Laws of the US. From that, the step into One-World Government would be a quick and easy transit. The UN Charter was in its entirety the work of Alger Hiss, Posvolsky and Molotov, however as I earlier pointed out, that is not quite true. These three did the actual writing, but every feature in it had to undergo the scrutiny of (and revisions by) the entire Hierarchy of the ICC-CFR! After that, it still had to be submitted to Stalin and his gang. That was done at the TOP SECRET meetings at Yalta. The entire UN project was cut and dried long before the organizational conference in San Francisco in 1945. But, while that conference was attended by delegates from many nations, it was quite obvious to the naked eye of anyone even slightly "in the know." that the whole thing was a "CFR convention!" Among those fifty, who took over the entire operation were: Alger Hiss, who served as acting Secretary General of the conference, Secretary of State Stettinius, Leo Posvolsky, Adlai Stevenson, Bernard Baruch, the Warburgs, Clark Eichelberger, Nelson Rockefeller, Ralph Bunche, Philip Jessup, James T. Shotwell, John Foster Dulles, Dr. Walter Van Kirk of the National Council of Churches, Harry Hopkins, etc... Throughout World War II - indeed during the rule of F.D. Roosevelt - the White House was a nest of treason with Harry Hopkins serving as F.D.R.'s (and the CFR's) chief carrier of the treason, as Col. House was Wilson's Bird of Evil Omen. WHO WAS HARRY? Born into poverty, - a true son of the proletariat, - he had no profession, no income. His home was in New York's various YMCA and cheap hotels. Somehow he came under the observation of the crafty Anna Rosenberg, who even then was F. D. Roosevelt's political mentor. She saw real values in Hopkins, since all his life he had blamed the people for all his bad luck... he became convinced that there was a conpiracy to prevent his success in life. When Annie met him he was a very embittered man, with a deep and abiding hatred (and contempt) for the American people, who was "his enemy!" Annie recognized that he would stop at nothing to achieve revenge against that enemy. In short, she knew that he would make a perfect tool (a real hatemonger perhaps) for the then aspirant FDR for the Governorship of New York, that he would carry out any chicaneries that would be assigned to him... and that he would be cunning enough to carry them out successfully! At first he served as a court jester for Franklin and Eleanor,. but before long both Roosevelts recognized those qualities in him that had attracted Annie. Both were delighted with his contemptuous "the American people are dumb." And it was this same Hopkins who, after Roosevelt entered the White House, coined the slogan: "Tax and tax and tax, spend and spend and spend" - and assured Roosevelt that: "the American people are too dumb to ever sense what we are doing to them." Even before Roosevelt was elected to the Presidency, Hopkins had become his alter ego - exactly as Col. House had been Wilson's alter ego. It was no secret in the political circles in Washington that Hopkins, the erstwhile "poor-boy" was the behind-the scenes architect of the "New Deal". The attempted Court-Packing scheme was evolved by Hopkins, as was revealed by Louis Howe, Roosevelt's previous chief political advisor. It was during World War II that Hopkins rose to the pinnacle of his career. He became Roosevelt's courier in all his (and the CFR's) dealings with Stalin. It was Harry Hopkins who carried to Stalin the original gift of Lend-Lease, giving all (eleven billion US dollars!) and asking for nothing in return! And it is a matter of record - because he himself revealed it - that he said to Stalin: "The world is yours for the asking - just ask for what you want and the United States (the dumb American people) will give it to you!" And Stalin asked and asked and asked... and the United States, -- through Hopkins and Roosevelt, -- gave and gave and gave! It was Hopkins who gave the green light to Harry Dexter White to provide Moscow with our money plates and the right ink and paper to enable the Russkies to print billions of dollars of American money. It was Harry Hopkins who gave the idea to White to submit to Eisenhower the plot (actually, it was an order!) to let the Russians loot Germany of all her industrial plants and equipment, and thus transform Germany into a helpless agricultural nation! Moreover, it was Hopkins who manipulated all the strings at the Yalta meetings. We know that Roosevelt was a dying man when he attended those Yalta Conferences. He was verging on complete senility. With no mind of his own, he did what he was told to do - and Harry Hopkins was doing the telling, either directly, or through the Hisses, the Whites and the Bohlens!..... A-BOMB: A GIFT TO STALIN Great Falls, Montana was the transfer point for all of the Lend-Lease Material we gave to Russia during World War II. Major George Racey Jordan was the US Commander of that transfer point. Not very long after the transfer point was placed in operations, Major Jordan began to have growing suspicions about the cargoes in some of the Russian planes. His suspicions were heightened by the refusal of the Russian Commander to permit inspections. Finally his suspicions reached a point which caused him to insist on a personal inspection. The infuriated Russian Commander threatened to use force to prevent it. The threat did not work: Jordan brushed him aside and climbed into the plane. What he found was suitcases containig blueprints and diagrams, heavy water, uranium and other ingredients for the manufacture of our newly invented "A" Bomb. Meanwhile, the Russian Commander had rushed back to his office and put in a long-distance call to a "Mr. Brown in the White House in Washington." He reported the incident to this Mister Brown - in Russian! When Major Jordan returned to his office he found a long-distance call awaiting from Harry Hopkins. Hopkins strenly ordered the Major to immediately release the plane, with its cargo intact - and to make no further inspection of the Russian planes. Out of that incident came a startling discovery: the Mr. Brown who made his home in the Living Quarters in that Top Secret conferences suite in the White House was none other that Moscow's "iron-pants" Molotov! -- Thus, we had Moscow actually operating out of our White House in Washington!!! STALIN'S WEDDING GIFT During all of his wartime peregrinations Hopkins found time to fall in love with and marry Broadway producer Guthrie McClintic's secretary. The Hierarchy of the CFR tendered a lavish banquet, hosted by Bernard Baruch, in the newly-wed's honor. At the banquet the bride proudly displayed a $250,000 emerald necklace which came from Stalin as a "slight token of appreciation of the INVALUABLE service Harry Hopkins had rendered Russia." Stalin presented Dwight D. Eisenhower with a gem-encrusted medal of similar value for the same reason... THE EDITOR'S COMMENT In a nutshell so to speak, Myron C. Fagan describes so well what really went on behind the scenes, and indeed this is only the tip of the iceberg....Fifty years after the deliberate sellout of nations to the Soviets at Yalta, the death of over 100 million people because of Communism, and millions of Eastern Europeans still suffering under (reform)communist regimes, the communist murderers are not brought to justice! Why? The communist secret police's thugs are running freely today and enjoying their fat pensions and luxurious living! In the meantime, certain politically correct institutions still hunt for 80-90 year old alleged "nazi war criminals" of the Second World War!,BR> But, according to the Victorious Allies' propaganda, "Europe was liberated from Hitler's nazi terror." Oh yes! But it had a very high price:"liberation" for some, but death and decades of suffering for so many more! After World War II the captive nations under the new warlords' yoke of Communism realized that it was not really "liberation" at all - at least not for the majority - but their ENSLAVEMENT! Eleven years after the war, the freedomfighters of the 1956 Hungarian Uprising -- eventhough the West is reluctant to admit it -- dealt Communism a fatal blow. While nations continued (even today in George Soros' Open Society!) to suffer behind the Iron Curtain, the Masterminds of the Hierarchy carefully planned the establishment of the New World Order and its World Government. They wasted no time at all: the "education" started in the schools right after the war! Then of course every country's government and its politicians had to be cleansed from "dusty old ideas" and re-educated. Today most goverments in the world are agents of the World Government, (i.e. World Communism!) that destroys the independence of nations for the sake of globalization. Soon there will be only one culture, one language, one religion (Judaism, which - according to the American Rabbi Eugene Kaellis - of course is the religion of the reason!/See his book:Toward a Jewish America.), and because of multi-culturalism's FORCED race-mixing, white human beings will simply disappear. - But is this what we want? Think about it!....Isn't it time we all woke up? We are in the twentyfourth hour! === Myron C. Fagan wrote the above article in 1962. Can this really be true? Is this happening to us now? Let us see what is happening today after three decades. In its February 1996 issue THE SPOTLIGHT's front page article "Bosnia Falls Under New World Order" is written by Trisha Katson. Because of its importance I would like to share her complete writing with you: "Clinton administration policy makes Bosnia as experimental laboratory for nation-building by the global elites in the New World Order, according to Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) Under the so-called Dayton Accrod, there will be no sovereignty or independence for Bosnia. Bosnia's constitution, police, central bank, refugees and "human rights" will be placed in the hands of foreign officials for at least the rest of the century. "Where once its existence was threatened by advancing Serbian troops, it has now been rendered incompetent by a (bewildering) constitutional structure," said Hunter. "The remnants are then absorbed by international organizations and foreign bureaucrats. The poor, suffering Bosnians faced a more honorable fate in open combat." - Hunter calls the plan "the total, systematic restructuring of Bosnian society in accord with liberal-utopian values that have little chance of taking root. Congress must exercise its oversight responsibilities to subject every move in Bosnia to the tightest, most exacting scrutiny," he added. "Otherwise, the president's unlimited agenda will run wild with American money and lives in an area of only marginal importance to US security." NO CONSTRAINTS The foreign authorities are not constrained by any constitutional checks and balances despite all the rhetoric about upcoming "free elections." Bosnia's new constitution is "inspired by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights and on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities, as well as other human rights instruments." At the end of the constitution is attached a list of 15 other human rights instruments including the 1979 Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, the 1989 Covention on the Rights of the Child and the 1990 International Convention on the Protection of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families. National sovereignty is surrendered under Article II which declares "The rights and freedoms set forth in the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundemental Freedoms and its Protocols shall apply directly in Bosnia and Herzegovina. These shall have priority over all other law." The convoluted workings of the bicameral Parlamentiary Assembly virtually guarantee that international organizations and foreign officials will end up running Bosnia on a day-to-day basis. MONETARY CONTROLS Bosnia's highest court, the Constitutional Court, will be dominated by foreign judges. The three judges who will hold the balance of power cannot be citizens of Bosnia. Bosnia's central bank, for the first six years, "may not extend credit by creating money" - a prohibition consistent with the desire of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The bank's governor will be an appointee of the IMF who cannot be a citizen of Bosnia or any surrounding state. The real government of Bosnia and Herzegovina, said Hunter, is the High Representative, "the final authority in theater" regarding the interpretation of the civilian aspects. The High Representative will monitor the peace settlement and coordinate the activities of all civilian organizations and agencies. The High Representative will give guidance to the UN International Police Task Force. * (SPOTLIGHT, 300 Independence Ave SE. Washington, D.C. 20003.
