What is the Council on Foreign Relations? When and why was it formed? The Council on Foreign Relations was founded in 1921 by businessmen, bankers, and lawyers determined to keep the United States engaged in the world. Today, the Council is composed of men and women from all walks of international life and from all parts of America dedicated to the belief that the nation’s peace and prosperity are firmly linked to that of the rest of the world. From this flows the Council’s mission: to foster America’s understanding of other nations—their peoples, cultures, histories, hopes, quarrels, and ambitions—and thus to serve our nation through study and debate, private and public. What are the goals of the Council? How are they achieved? 1) Add value by improving understanding of world affairs and by providing new ideas for U.S. foreign policy. The Council does this in many ways. The Council sponsors independent task forces when an issue arises of current and critical importance to U.S. foreign policy, and it seems that a group diverse in backgrounds and perspectives may nonetheless be able to reach a meaningful policy consensus through private and nonpartisan deliberations. Council Policy Initiatives (CPIs) focus on current foreign policy issues of great importance where consensus seems unlikely. 2) Transform the Council into a truly national organization to benefit from the expertise and experience of leaders nationwide. The Council aims to energize foreign policy discussions across the country. As Council membership outside New York and Washington, D.C. continues to grow and diversify, the Council will create new ways to involve these members in intellectual dialogue. 3) Find and nurture the next generation of foreign policy leaders and thinkers. The Council does this primarily through a special term membership program for younger Americans and a "Next Generation Fellows" program that brings outstanding younger scholars onto the Council staff, as well as the International Affairs Fellowships and several other fellowship programs. These programs aim to spark interest and participation in world affairs and U.S. foreign policy. How is the Council managed? Who is in charge? Peter G. Peterson, Chairman of the Blackstone Group, a private investment bank, is Chairman of the Council. Maurice R. Greenberg, Chairman and CEO of American International Group, is Vice Chairman. Leslie H. Gelb, a former senior government official and New York Times editor and columnist, is President. Who are the members of the Council? How and why are they selected? Every candidate for membership must be formally proposed in writing by one member and seconded by a minimum of two other individuals, at least one of whom is a Council member. Quality, diversity and balance are the key objectives sought by the Council in the composition of its membership. The roster of members is listed in the annual report. Who finances the Council? A list of donors appears in the annual report. Is the Council on Foreign Relations part of the U.S. government, the United Nations or organizations such as the Royal Institute for International Affairs and Trilateral Commission? Why are senior government officials, Congress members, journalists, and corporate executives members of the Council? It is important to avoid reversing the causal order in this question. The Council does not "anoint" government officials, nor advance the careers of those in other fields; it does exert great effort in attracting individuals who have displayed significant dedication, expertise and success in professions concerning American foreign policy and world affairs, and also in encouraging them to help in our mission by participating in our meetings and other activities. Is the Council on Foreign Relations secret? Many meetings are held off-the-record to encourage frankness among participants—the members would be hesitant to express new or developing ideas if they feared that they would be published the following day. However, an increasing number of meetings are held on-the-record, with journalists reporting on the events in papers across the country. For several years, the Council has sustained a vibrant Communications Department, which acts as the liaison between the public and the organization. It also maintains a critically-acclaimed web site, http:\\www.cfr.org. Now, anyone with access to the Internet can now enjoy a wide range of frequently-updated information: articles by Fellows; papers and books published by the Council on Foreign Relations Press; video and audio feeds from Council meetings; biographies of Fellows; news on Council events; and more. Does the Council on Foreign Relations create "outside threats" in order to encourage Congress to appropriate unnecessary funds to the defense industry? For more information: Robert D. Schulzinger, The Wise Men of Foreign Affairs (New York: Columbia University Press, 1984).

Got any spam?...LOL.
The information you seek to promote is good for you to know but you are preaching to an aging choir. I too sought to inform people about the "New Thing" when I first learned of it also. Thirty years ago people were already "comfortable" being deceived and intimidated by the lofty individuals who continue to play their game of Princes.
The American people as a whole don't care and don't believe there is a problem threat in existence even at this late hour in our history! Try convincing them that FEMA in lock step with the "New World Order" has detention camps scattered all over this country originally intended to be used for political dissidents who would rebel against the takeover of the NWO. Right now they do exist like the CFR does and can be used for any nefarious purpose that suits their needs.
Even the thought of a govenmental group having the capacity to accomplish this will label you a candidate for a Tin Foil Suit! There is a Company called the Carlyle Group which is a grouping of every past and present member of not only the Council on Foreign Relations but also The Tri-Lateral Commission & Skull & Bones Society ( Yale University origination) and other links to literally thousands of of other linked organizations that are as Un-American as any of the recent past ever thought about being! Once again this is real and it does exist for a secretive purpose because of the named personalities involved but once again here is a opportunity lost because of lack of exposure in the Press and media.
I despise the liberal element in our society with a fervor that you could never appreciate. As I said earlier with a (few) exceptions this country, America has no real interest in pursueing Freedom and Liberty. They just expect things to be as they always have been, going along like Pollyana with their heads in the sky denying, denying, denying. This will come home to roost one day because of politicians like clintoon the buffoon, who would still be elected if he could run again.
The resurgence of Patriotism we see today is going to need a lot of bolstering because time wears away at everything we hold dear. This country is short on Perseverence and Determination unless when we are and have been attacked. Do we have staying power? I would like to believe we do but that is left to worked out in the future.
Organizations such as mentioned here do not have a good track record. They operate in secret and stealth and do not want you to be informed and only because they themselves with loose lips allowed the information out before the appointed time, about them when it was finally known and released. They are not invulnerable, they have just never been fully exposed for what they are. Until the American People lose their don't care attitude and start seeing things for what they really are you are wasting your time and "Wind" blowing off on things people will not accept as fact and don't believe as fact no matter how much proof you present. Plain And Simple They Don't Care. By the way They Don't Care About Your Rights Either!
Don't tell me... it's the Plaintiff's Bar.
The Democratic National Committee?
I know, the American Soybean Association!
BUMP!!
George F. Kennan's article outlining the idea of containment of Soviet communism was published in the CFR journal, Foreign Affairs. Was that also part of the Communist conspiracy? Nixon attacked containment in 1952 when running as Eisenhower's running mate, but Eisenhower continued the policy and it finally worked under Reagan.
