Chapter Six
The Council on Foreign Relations
Now it is time to take a closer look at the actual conspiratorial machinery of the global
network of secret power, particularly as it relates to the domestic and foreign policy of the United
States. As we have already discovered, the Secret Society set up
with Rothschild, Morgan, Carnegie, Rockefeller, et al., was directed by a small highly secret

Round Table Group. This secret group then set up fronts for the purposes of carrying forward its
conspiratorial schemes. The Unite
d States front was called the Council on Foreign Relations. As
we pointed out earlier, this is the way Dr. Quigley says it came into being:
Round Table Group] had to be greatly extended. Once again the task was entrusted to Lionel
Curtis who established, in England and each dominion, a front organization
to the existing local
Round Table Group. This front organization, called the Royal Institute of International Affairs,
had as its nucleus in each area the existing submerged Round Table Group. In New York it was
known as
the Council on Foreign Relations, and was a front for J.P. Morgan and company

Although the Council on Foreign Relations is not the secret
circle, its front
student searches the recent periodicals for articles on the CFR, he i
s likely to find nothing.
However, a more or less "official" account of what the Council wanted on the record was
published by the Christian Science Monitor, September 1, 1961. This paper, according to Dr.
Quigley, is part of the CFR-related press and there
fore the article might be considered an official
presentation. Here is the way the article opens up:

Nations

(emphasis added)
The CFR headquarters building was a gift of the Rockefellers.
The article states that "Its roster ... contains names distinguished in the field of diplomacy,
government, business, finance, science, labor, journalism, law and education. What united so

The CFR roster has a formal membership of 1,400 elite personalities carefully selected
for their usefulness from all of the nation's key professions. These are screened and trained for
decision-making positions in the Federal Government. The article state
s, "Almost half of the
Council members have been invited to assume official government positions or to act as
consultants at one time or another."
One other article may be found in one of the older magazines concerning the CFR. In
Harper's
of July, 1958, will be found an article entitled, "School For Statesmen," by CFR
member, Joseph Kraft. He describes the CFR in these terms: "It has been the seat
of ... basic
government decisions, has set the context for many more, and has repeatedly served as a
recruiting ground for ranking officials." In this
[page 52]
article, Kraft makes the point that CFR
trains its members in a specific line of strategy to be
carried out as part of the team in
W ashington.
What is this strategy?
--
Kraft points out that the chief architect for the formal creation of CFR was the network's
White House aid to President Wilson, "Colonel" Edward Mandell House, who worked hand in
glove with Jerome Greene. House admitted writing
the creation of an international grouping of powers and establishing "Socialism as dreamed by
Philip Dru, Administrator

To gain some idea of the power and influence of the CFR in literally taking over the
foreign policy of the U.S. State Department after the war, we have the following from the State
Department Publication 2349, entitled,
Report to the President On the Resu
lts of the San
Francisco Conference
Stettinius:
. It is the official report of the U.S. Secretary of State, Edward R.
"With the outbreak of war in Europe it was clear that the United States would be
confronted, after the war, with new and exceptional problems.... Accordingly, a committee on
Post-War Problems was set up before the end of 1939 [two years before the U.S. en
tered the
war!],
at the suggestions of the CFR
staff, which in February, 1941, was organized into a division of Spec
. The Committee consisted of high officials of the
Department of State [all but one of whom were CFR members]. It was assisted by a research

it went off the CFR payroll to the State Department payroll]." (emphasis added)
This is the group which created the basic structure of the United Nations and the post-war
policies which lost free peoples to the Communist bloc at the average rate of one hundred million
per year for the first seven years after the war.
There were 74 CFR members in the American delegation to the U.N. Conference at San
Francisco in 1945. They included Alger Hiss (Communist spy), Harry Dexter White (Soviet
Agent), Owen Lattimore
[page 53 -- illustration]
[page 54]
(described by a Congressi
onal
committee as a "conscious, articulate instrument of the Soviet international conspiracy"), John J.
McCloy (formerly head of the Rockefeller Chase-Manhattan Bank), Harold Stassen, Nelson
Rockefeller, John Foster Dulles, Philip Jessup and Dean Acheson.
These and 38 additional CFR
members occupied nearly every significant decision-making spot in the American delegation to
the San Francisco conference to set up the United Nations.
Nelson Rockefeller
One of the top families in the Morgan-Rockefeller axis has been the Lamonts, who
loomed large in CFR circles and represented leading Wall Street bankers in fostering pro-Soviet
policies and leading out in "help-the-Soviets" propaganda. CFR-member Corliss
Lamont was
named by the House Committee on Un-American Activities as "probably the most persistent
propagandist for the Soviet Union to be found anywhere in the United States."
The Lamonts and other elite CFR members are interlocked with other Wall
Street-financed programs, such as the American Association for the United Nations, the Foreign
Policy Association, the World Affairs Council, the Committee for Economic Development,
usiness Advisory Council, Commission on National Goals, American Assembly, National
Planning Association and Americans for Democratic Action.
Internationally, the CFR is interlocked with the Bilderbergers, the Pugwash Conferences,
the English-speaking Union, the Pilgrims Society, and with its secret control-group, the Round
The CFR has participated to some degree in each of the last ten administrations and
dominated those of FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, (Eisenhower was the Establishment candidate
against Taft), Kennedy, Johnson and the present administration as well. To illustra

Richard P. Pederson, Exec. Sec., State Department.
Alan Pifer, consultant to the President on Educational Finance.

Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg, Chairman, Atomic Energy Commission.
Joseph J. Sisco, Assistant Secretary of State for the Middle East and South Asia.
Jacob Beam, Ambassador to the Soviet Union.
Gerald Smith, Director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency.
To further illustrate how thoroughly the policy-making operations of the White House
have become integrated with those of the CFR, we have the perfectly frank admission by the
Nixon administration that as of September 7, 1970, a brigadier general, Robert
the office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Force Development, will be assigned to the

President Richard Nixon
Every citizen who voted for Richard Nixon, including this reviewer, hoped that to some
degree, at least, the new President would resist the collectivist Left and start the country back in
the direction of common sense and the Constitution. On some fronts
this has been done, but on
many other fronts (in fact, on the most sensitive and decisive ones) the collectivist process has
continued at an accelerated speed. Never has the bureaucratic staff at the White House been so
large. Never have so many billions b
een requested for Federal subsidies to the states (with
Federal control following closely on the heels of Federal money). These policies and programs
are precisely what the obscure bosses behind the CFR have been urging for years. Another of
their pet proj
ects has been the recognition of Red China. There is already a definite softening by
the Nixon Administration in that direction.
These facts are mentioned simply to alert the reader to the fact that Dr. Quigley may be
entirely correct in his charge that the CFR and the Global Establishment have gained such a hold
on the elective process in the United States that no matter which pol
itical party goes into power,
the winner is beholden to those powers to a significant degree.
Of course, Mr. Nixon's opponent in the last election was one of the Global
Establishment's most devoted disciples. Hubert Humphrey was a founder and the first
vice-chairman of the Establishment's socialist-oriented ADA (Americans for Democratic
Action), s
o if he had been elected instead of Mr. Nixon the pace of deterioration undoubtedly
would have been even more massive and devastating.
The tragedy in all of this is the simple fact that the average tax-paying American was not
given an honest and genuine choice. The voter finds himself enduring one party long enough to
witness a whole series of travesties and then switches to the other pa
rty
[page 57]
thinking he
will get a substantial reversal of policy. But he doesn't. At best, all he gets is a slowing down in
the collectivization process and in some areas it becomes even worse than it was before.
This situation is likely to continue until a sufficient number of Americans become angrily
aroused and rise from the grass roots to seize control of one or both of the major political parties.
Then the people can have a choice. Meanwhile, as the known fac
Now we turn to the vast reservoirs of wealth the tax-exempt foundations -- which Dr.
ts now dramatically illustrate,
the American electoral process is being manipulated by the Global Establishment precisely the
way Dr. Quigley boasts that it is. At the end of this review we will discuss the steps which must
be taken to liberate the America
n people from this colossal political trap.
