So what? There are globalists in CFR. There are also people who favor free trade, but would never compromise the soverignty of the U.S. There are lots of different points of view in the CFR.

U.S. citizenship is an absolute requirement for membership.

They will be in trouble if they destroy the U.S.

CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) raises some legitimate questions about itself. For one, its members fill up presidential administrations and the top levels of government. That bothers me not so much because of a conspiracy - as some see it - but because it represents a dangerous potential for groupthink; incidentally, which I believe we are suffering from in Iraq. Second, while I do not follow it closely, I get the impression that it is not suffuciently transparent. Third, look at its membership list. It extends out very far for a foreign policy organ, especially into the media. Grab a popular newsmagazine and cross check its contributors page with a CFR membership list. You might be surprised how many are members. Or spend the morning watching the news with a list in front of you. Etc.

Also while there are lots of different views, invariably it leans left and leans globalist.

I am not saying it is a conspiracy. That’s beyond my ability to speculate. But it is fair to ask questions.
