EXCERPT

Cruz “has become a cause célèbre for tea party activists around the country.” But he “does have establishment ties.” Cruz mgr John Drogin is a former staffer to NRSC chair John Cornyn (R). Drogin “is a known quantity” in TX circles, “and his decision to sign on with Cruz gives the campaign credibility” with GOPers in D.C. and Austin. Cornyn “is not getting involved publicly in the primary” ( Livingston, Roll Call, 10/27). Snake Oil

Cruz “has been focusing some of his harshest campaign trail rhetoric on that longtime villain of those suspicious of U.S. internationalism”: The Council on Foreign Relations. During a speech to a GOP women’s group last week, Cruz said the Council on Foreign Relations is “a pit of vipers.” When asked about the Council at another event on Oct. 15, Cruz called the organization “a pernicious nest of snakes” that is “working to undermine our sovereignty,” according to “video provided by someone who opposes his candidacy.”

But Cruz’s wife, Heidi Cruz, “was an active member” of the Council on Foreign Relations until this June. She was a member until June on a 5-year “term membership” program, “an official at the organization confirmed.”

Cruz spokesperson James Bernsen: “It was never the main point of that debate and this race isn’t about the CFR, this race is about who’s going be the best senator from Texas. ...

Heidi Cruz Heidi Cruz was the daughter of missionaries who spent a lot of time overseas helping people and bringing them not only relief, but the Christian values we embrace. She eventually went on to graduate from Harvard (again, on her own dime and not from some fabulously rich family). Heidi worked for the Bush administration on economic policy, eventually becoming the director for the Western Hemisphere on the National Security Council under National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice in 2003. In 2005, she joined Goldman Sachs, serving as a private wealth manager. That means handling accounts of over $40 million and giving investment direction. She took a leave of absence without pay for her husband's 2016 presidential campaign. Allegations about her supporting and contributing to a New World Order are completely false and the whole smear against her was done in Ted’s Senate campaign by the opposition. Heidi was an international investment banker who was invited to be part of a working group at the Council on Foreign Relations which reviewed a notorious 2005 paper called “Building a North American Community” which was largely authored by Robert Pastor and is the presumed origin of the idea of the North American Union, though Pastor has repeatedly denied that it contains anything like that. Heidi Cruz’ role in all of this was as one of a large panel of readers and her sole identifiable contribution to the project is a one-paragraph response in the final appendix in which she says: “We must emphasize the imperative that economic investment be led and perpetuated by the private sector. There is no force proven like the market for aligning incentives, sourcing capital, and producing results like financial markets and profit-making businesses. This is simply necessary to sustain a higher living standard for the poorest among us — truly the measure of our success. As such, investment fund sand financing mechanisms should be deemed attractive instruments by those committing the capital and should only be developed in conjunction with market participants.” So basically, her role here is to say that free markets and free trade are the answer to greater regional prosperity. Amazing. Republican principles in a few sentences and suddenly she is accused of being part of the NWO? You can read more here – Anatomy of a Smear Please do some research on your own. If you see something negative about Ted or Heidi, I am willing to bet the real story is quite different than those using it to smear a great patriot couple.
