I don't believe in conspiracy theories. However, this is hardly a secret 24esque cabal, with someone named "Graham" providing instructions to the President on a cell phone. It is a conspiracy hidden in plain sight.

(1) The actions and words of the Bush Administration on immigration are politically inexplicable. Why is he burning his base? Driving down his poll numbers? Why make Democrat voters out of illegals? Why cavort with Democrats like Kennedy? It hasn't made sense.

(2) Conspiracies don't usually write down their perfidous plots. But geez, that CFR report is downloadable and breathtaking. Please read it before making the tinfoil cracks.

(3) Peggy Noonan knows something about these people. She specultated in yesterday's Opinion Journal:

The other possibility is that the administration's slow and ambivalent action is the result of being lost in some geopolitical-globalist abstract-athon that has left them puffed with the rightness of their superior knowledge, sure in their membership in a higher brotherhood, and looking down on the low concerns of normal Americans living in America.

A geopolitical-globalist abstract-athon, that is the CFR is there ever was one. Superior knowledge? Higher brotherhood? All squares perfectly with a hidden CFR agenda.

(4) Occam's Razor agrees. Bush having a hidden CFR agenda explains everything that Bush has said and done on immigration. If you don't believe the hidden CFR agenda theory, you must make multiple separate explanations for all the inexplicable actions.

Very good point, in (4).

As Holmes said to Watson in The Sign of the Four , IIRC...

"How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?"

[little jeremiah]

BTTT.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean "they" aren't out to get you.

What I wonder is why so many on FR instantly pooh-pooh all this even when they can read the agenda with their own eyes. It says what it says.

"Occam's Razor agrees. Bush having a hidden CFR agenda explains everything that Bush has said and done on immigration."

Interesting how "Occam's Razor" is usually the first theorem used to explain otherwise unsupportable conspiracy theories. Poor Occam could probably be tapped as a source to power all the world's generators as he spins in his grave. Bush's "hidden" CFR agenda is SO SECRET conspiracy theorists all over the country have "discovered" it and constantly publish pictures of a document published by a CFR task group discussing the future of North American trade. I'll tell you what...that is some secret.

ABSOLUTELY. They've been publishing their goals for most of the last 50 years. Usually in deadly boring stuff that only their sympathesizers are likely to read.

And, they've achieved the majority of their goals already. I estimate they have 5-15% left to end up with a blatantly tyrannical world government. It's already very difficult to buy in many situations around the world without a credit/debit card.
