In the May edition of its acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine – titled "THE NEW WORLD RE-ORDER – WorldNetDaily dives into the murky waters of global government, taking direct aim at its many-tentacled hub called the United Nations, and explores, among other things, the pivotal role of the controversial Council on Foreign Relations.
A topic avoided by many for fear of being labeled conspiracy theorists, the Council on Foreign Relations nevertheless has played a central role in creating the United Nations and pushing for world government.
The United Nations is big news right now, after the highly publicized Security Council drama that preceded the recent Iraq war and President George W. Bush's March 17 decision to slam shut the window of U.N. diplomacy and go forth with a "coalition of the willing" to liberate Iraq. In fact, according to May's Whistleblower, decisions made in the next few months – by the United Nations and especially by the U.S. Congress – will determine to a great extent whether America remains a free, constitutional republic or yields its freedom to the rule of international law administered by the United Nations.
So what's all this about the Council on Foreign Relations?
Formed in 1921, the CFR's purpose from the start was to create a stream of scholarly literature to promote the benefits of world government, and attract a membership of rich intellectuals who could influence the direction of foreign policy in America. After President Franklin Roosevelt filled his administration with members of the CFR in the 1930s, the Bretton Woods Agreements in 1944 produced the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, and the United Nations Charter was drafted. The U.S. delegation to the U.N.'s founding conference included 47 members of the CFR. The secretary-general of the conference, CFR member Alger Hiss, was later convicted of perjury for lying about having provided government documents to a communist espionage ring. The U.S. Senate ratified the charter by a vote of 89 to 2 on July 28, 1945.
Today, supported by the world's wealthiest foundations and individuals, the CFR has been extremely successful in its mission. Its flagship publication, Foreign Affairs, is the port-of-entry for many ideas that become public policy.
"For decades," said David Kupelian, vice president and managing editor of WorldNetDaily and Whistleblower, "those claiming the influential Council on Foreign Relations was intent on undermining American sovereignty have been relegated to the margins of public policy debate and scorned as 'ultraconservatives.' And yet, it's unquestionably one of the world's most influential policy organizations. Somewhere between the two extremes of conspiratorial obsession with secret societies and the mainstream media's denial is the truth – and that is what we're targeting in Whistleblower."
The great hope of the United Nations' architects was that world peace could be assured by consolidating military power in this new institution and disarming all national governments, except for the police necessary to provide domestic security. The United States fully supported this policy, in principle.
Though the Korean War and the subsequent Cold War between East and West derailed these plans for a time, President John Kennedy renewed the hope for empowering the U.N. in 1961. His administration produced the DEPARTMENT OF STATE PUBLICATION 7277, Disarmament Series 5, released September 1961. The document called for disarmament to "a point where no state would have the military power to challenge the progressively strengthened U.N. Peace Force." A new and improved version was published in 1962, titled: "Blueprint for the Peace Race: Outline of Basic Provisions of a Treaty on General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World."
"It is neither fair nor accurate to say these documents were the product of the CFR," says the May Whistleblower. "But it is accurate, and instructive, to realize these documents were developed by men who were members of the CFR. John McCloy and Robert Lovett were described as 'distinguished individuals' in an article by John F. Kennedy which appeared in Foreign Affairs in 1957."
In fact, Lovett was offered his choice of cabinet positions in the Kennedy administration but declined, choosing instead to make recommendations, all of which were accepted by Kennedy.
That members of the CFR have exercised extraordinary influence on foreign policy to this day cannot be denied. Whether that influence is the result of organizational strategies, or the result of individuals who simply happen to be members of the same organization, is an endlessly debated question. Richard Harwood of the Washington Post (Oct. 30, 1993, p. A21) observed during the Clinton administration that members of the Council on Foreign Relations
"… are the closest thing we have to a ruling establishment in the United States. The president is a member. So is his secretary of state, the deputy secretary of state, all five of the undersecretaries, several of the assistant secretaries and the department's legal adviser. The president's national security adviser and his deputy are members. The director of Central Intelligence (like all previous directors) and the chairman of the Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board are members. The secretary of defense, three undersecretaries and at least four assistant secretaries are members. The secretaries of the departments of Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Health and Human Services and the chief White House public relations man … along with the speaker of the House [are members] … This is not a retinue of people who 'look like America,' as the president once put it, but they very definitely look like the people who, for more than half a century, have managed our international affairs and our military-industrial complex."
May's Whistleblower, perhaps as never before, shines the powerful light of investigative journalism on the United Nations and its globalist agenda. From radical environmental treaties that would eviscerate traditional property rights, to attempts at global gun control, to resolutions aimed at establishing international "gay rights," the United Nations is the hub of an effort to restructure the world in the most radical ways imaginable.
