FDR - “In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, it was planned that way.”
Last century the British politician, Benjamin Disraeli, a man of wide political experience, declared that :
“the world is governed by very different personalities from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.”
The Council Of Foreign Relations has gained a virtual lock-hold on the U.S. government, regardless of which party is in office. No other organization comes close to boasting the kind of clout that the CFR members have held: eight presidents of the U.S.; seven vice presidents; 17 secretaries of state; 20 secretaries of war/defense; 18 secretaries of the Treasury; 15 directors of the CIA. And it has gone throughout the Cabinets, in seriatim — through Democrat and Republican administrations — with hundreds of deputy secretaries, assistant secretaries, etc....The CFR has only 3000 members yet they control over three-quarters of the nation's wealth.
