I’m sorry you feel that way. I responded to the thread not to the forum in general. I calls ‘em like I sees ‘em, when I sees ‘em.
I have gone from being a strong Cruz supporter to being concerned about his positions and his transparency. I would still support him if he becomes the nominee.
I post links to material of concern which may reflect poorly on Cruz occasionally but am open to seeing things from a different perspective when the facts support it. I am concerned because so many of his advisors and associates are involved with the push to globalize and erode America’s sovereignty.
Fair enough. I, too, have my questions about Cruz, as I do every other candidate; some many more than others, but I keep falling back to the position that, on most issues, he has been the most visible and outspoken opponent of the Obama/uniparty agenda - one of the reasons he’s despised by the leadership of both parties.
Regarding globalization, I did some extensive research on Heidi Cruz’s term appointment to the CFR, which was brought up a few weeks ago. (I had never heard that before.) Heidi Cruz, who is a very experienced investment banker, was on a 5-year term appointment to the Council on Foreign Relations from 2006 to 2011. She was a member of a CFR task force that drafted Task Force Report #53: “Building a North American Communityâ€. Her role was to contribute economic data for drafting the report, which is what she did. She did not author or co-author the report. In fact, according to a guy I know (a Harvard PhD who is not, admittedly, a friend), she authored a pretty critical dissenting opinion of the report, saying it was a threat to US national sovereignty.
In his campaign for the Senate in Texas, Ted Cruz admitted that his wife was a member of the CFR, but called it “a pernicious den of snakes.â€
I assure you, I’m no fan of the CFR, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group or any of the other globalist groups that are pushing this open borders, “citizen of the world†nonsense.
I served as a senior counterterrorism advisor in the White House from 2001 to 2003, so I’m very familiar with at least some of these groups, since many members of the National Security Council Staff were or had been members of the CFR, et al. But just so you know, not all of the TERM members of the CFR are globalists. Term appointments are considered a recruiting tool for full CFR membership.
For reference, a very good friend of mine, a retired Army general, was a term member of the CFR and he is every bit as conservative, patriotic and opposed to globalism as I am and probably more critical of the CFR as well. However, a cursory search of his name would associate him with the CFR and the Trilateral Commission and lead one to the conclusion that he’s a globalist, which he most certainly is not.
