That was the creepy thing about the 2000 presidential election. When things stalled out, they called out James Baker and Warren Christopher, both of whom are big time CFR/Trilateralists to referee the results.
I really think we came that close (holding my fingers an inch apart) to a Constitutional crisis in 2000. When the CFR cabal openly trots out guys of that caliber to make sure things work out the way they wanted.
There appears to be two "schools" among the CFR members. One group favors an EU/Socialist model of governance. That's the Clinton/Carter school of "Internationalism." The folks who have come to be known as "neo-cons" are globalists who favor a model based on the US/Democratic model, although centralized through a UN-style world government. Neither Reagan or Bush "43" were CFR members, but their administrations were full of appointees with CFR ties. All the other presidents going back to Wilson were members of either the CFR or the Trilateral Commission (since the 1970s), or both.
They want to get this UN-reform stuff in place before 2008, because if that election is close, there is a strong chance that those UN troops might be needed to restore order. All you'd need is a candidate who refused to concede and we'd have civil war. (Think Hillary...)
Now you will see why this is just wishful thinking on your part. The CFR is the political ruling class of both parties... and hence, of this nation.
