CFR sets broad agreement on major topics among the self-appointed elites, while highlighted arguments over policy details.

Among major points without dissent allowed:

The US Constitution is infinitely malleable by the Elites.

Unlimited immigration.

The US military is the world’s policeman.

Affirmation of homosexuality and other sexual perversion.

Opposition to anti-trust enforcement.

Yet another 40 year old conspiracy 'theory' turns into conspiracy 'fact' right before our very eyes. Sad.

The CFR? I get their magazine just for the pictures.

When I was a teenager in the 70s, my father explained to me that the media and Ivy League-type universities promulgated the same propaganda. Those same schools of thought perpetually churn inbred journalists, attorneys, politicians, and judges. Back in those days he preferred reading US News & World Report. And we only had snowy reception to two television stations, a CBS and an NBC affiliate.

Perhaps President Trump needs to reinstate the no propaganda law that Obungho got rid of in secret that fueled this massive propaganda machine the MSM.

... governments “have to” direct “propaganda” at their own domestic populations....

You mean that governments don't already do this?

“The need for propaganda in itself explains that lies are needed to obscure the truth. The truth if fact based always makes itself know”

Beautiful. Perfectly stated

[Retvet]

If truth and data don’t work then use intentional lies!

It all depends on which side of the government directed propaganda you are on, and that then changes the meaning of “success”.

Iran’s paranoia prevents them from telling the truth and letting the people advise the government. The people’s point of view does not matter.

It was reading the nonsense coming from the DEA about marijuana that first gave me the notion that we were paying people to lie to us.

Propaganda has always been part of the CFR's mission. When they were originally set up, they determined that their internationalist agenda would not be supported by the public, so they set on a long-term mission of changing public opinion by influencing thought leaders. This is discussed in Peter Grose's official history of the CFR, Continuing the Inquiry.
