CFR, etc.

I do not know if the real power is wielded by the Bilderbergs or the Trilateralists, or some other, more vague entity. However, the CFR is middle management between the rulers and the rest of the world. Most American presidents since the early 20th century have been CFR. Republican and Democrat presidents alike turn to the CFR for appointees to cabinet positions and other posts. Many news media personalities are CFR. CFR is huge.
These political powermonger organisations are intertwined, the names are changed from time to time, but the goal is always the same. Somebody always wants to rule the world. Look up Cecil Rhodes in th 1911 Encyclopedia Britanica, read “The Creature From Jekyl Island”, check out David J. Smith at Newswatch Magazine…
…or read “Hope and Tragedy” by Carroll Quigley, written by an elitist lefty for the elitist lefties.
…or read “Between Two Ages” by Zbigniew Brzezinski.
Most of all, keep in mind that what we learn and accept as fact may be wrong and we should possess the ability to admit this from time to time, at least to our selves.

My best guess is This Column, but since there’s no shortage of conspiracy theories, it could also be This One.

I take CFR to be the Council on Foreign Relations.

And I thought the thread was about the Code of Federal Regulations. Or perhaps a cup of fried rice. Hard to tell. Fnord.

At first, I thought it might be about a new emergency medical procedure for a victim of cardiac arrest using explosives.
Cardio Fulminatory Resusitation

Or perhaps, for those near Ridgemont High, caught feeling randy…

I applied for a job at the Council on Foreign Relations once. I never heard back.

Must be a conspiracy.

Here is the underlying truth that gives the conspiracists that glimmer of fact to spin their theories around.

People who play in politics and power circles want to either flaunt/consolidate their power, or perhaps (just perhaps - you cynics should look away) the same drive that causes them to play in politics and try to do things to make their respective countries and lives better drives them to try to interact with the power brokers of other countries and have larger effects.

So several presidents and other political and corporate leaders have a mutual [del]admiration society[/del] organization where they meet and talk about the world’s problems and try to discuss strategies for solving the problems. And they do this in an unofficial, personal capacity rather than via a formal government capacity (i.e. the U.N., etc).

And when a newly elected President is looking for people who share his ideals and outlooks, it’s only natural that he will turn to people he has a personal connection with and has heard their thoughts on the matter, and knows something about where they stand. Ergo, he has participated in idea exchanges via some network, and then picks people from that network because he knows what they think and that they agree with him.

So, is it just a harmless political discussion group that manages to have a lot of Presidents and Presidential candidates (and other political leaders from other countries), or is it a group masquerading as a harmless political exchange group but really is a secret organization making the World’s decisions and putting their own people in power and pulling the strings around the world? And how does one tell the difference?

I’ve actually had to concern myself with 21 CFR Part 11 a few times.

However, the one that immediately came to mind, given where I live, is Canadian Finals Rodeo.

Nah, the answer was in the OP. Its Cecil Fucking Rhodes! Bastard!
