"Are we to believe that the likes of Katie Couric and Warren Beatty have ANYTHING to contribute the such a nebulous description the CFR?"

Last time I checked Karie Couric was a journalist. A lousy one, but most are. And besides being a crappy actor, Warren Beatty has served as an adviser on several Senatorial campaigns and almost ran for President. So yes, they both fit into the nebulous description of who can belong to the CFR. But you are proving my point. Do you think either of those asshats are grand participants in a campaign to form a new world order?

"WHO exactly is obligated to listen to them?"

Absolutely no one. Not a single soul. Again, you are proving my point.

"And why should they have ANY influence on America's foreign policy?"

Who says they do?

"Additionally, is there such a thing a "democratic voting" on ideas proposed by "leading" members?"

I'm not sure what you mean here, but since the CFR doesn't issue policy statements, there really isn't anything to vote on.

"THE one and ONLY common thread of the 4000 strong just may very well be a consensus of diluting America sovereignty "for our own good""

Tell that to the dozens of military officers in the CFR that have dedicated their lives to defending our sovereignty.

While you consider Couric a "journalist" and point out Beatty has actually been involved in politics, these "asshats" unfortunately DO absolutely hold appreciable political clout within their respective spheres of influence (national broadcast news/Hollywood), don't they?

Now if no one is obligated to listen to members (BTW, other members: Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Mansoor Ijaz, Wesley Clark) of CFR, then WHY get together in the first place UNLESS they too indeed influence U.S. foreign policy from within their own respective circles? Only the truly naive believe the entity of CFR doesn't.

Yes Rokke, I do note many military and even political "conservatives" holding membership in the CFR. Minds are apt to change though, aren't they?

CFR "club" apparently and obviously sees an "Old World" that necessitates changing the past status quo of American military/political power and what that role should be -- serving as sort of a "secret" underground Politburo.

It's often been said politics does make for "strange bedfellows" -- CFR certainly proves that.

You think a CFR member, couric, who has a soapbox that reaches upwards of 7.5 million people a day cannot be a propagandist for the anti-American CFR? Do you think that her broadcasts will not be biased against the American system? Clearly her broadcasts to those people(or you) can easily promote the globalist perspective of the deep thinkers at the CFR.
