Do you think the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has America’s best interest in mind?
“”I would say that many of its members have America’s best interest in mind while others are much less concerned with America’s best interest.
You stated some of it’s members are less concerned with Americas best interest.
Is this an American organization? If so, why would members of an American organization not have America’s best interest in mind?”
Well, I’ve been to some public universities, which by definition American institutions, since they receive tax dollars, and THEY frequently dont seem to have America’s best interests in mind.
CFR is a big club of policy wonk-types and others that does a lot of research into a great many political and foreign policy topics. They range all over the map from far left to far right, just like the membership roster does. They do a lot of “what if?” kinds of papers. It’s like a debate club on steroids. The people there are influential people, whether by position or by brainpower. That doesn’t mean that anything they publish means a lot, other than to specialists in the topic discussed. They put out a widely available public journal of what they discuss. It’s as dry as month-old toast to read 99% of the time. In fact, Romney just had something published in it last issue. If I recall correctly, they have thousands of members. If it’s a conspiracy of any sort, it’s not a good one.
Oh, OK.
So the CFR just basically sits around and debates, with nothing ever changing, with no power, or influence to change anything in regards to law, politics, government policies etc?
I ask because I was told several times the CFR has no position on any issue.
