"Once the ruling members of the CFR have
decided that the U.S. Government should
adopt a particular policy, the very substantial
research facilities of CFR are put to work to
develop arguments, intellectual and
emotional, to support the new policy, and to
confound and discredit, intellectually and
politically, any opposition."
Description:
When he [David Rockefeller], or any other influential member of the CFR, decides to take a hand in a policy or program within the cognizance of CFR, he will not act through the organization, but as leader of a sort of float ad hoc coalition with other influential members having similar objectives. The policy-making members use CFR as an instrument rather than as an organization. It has proven to be a tool of great value, especially for propagandizing.
Once the ruling members of the CFR have decided that the U.S. Government should adopt a particular policy, the very substantial research facilities of CFR are put to work to develop arguments, intellectual and emotional, to support the new policy, and to confound and discredit, intellectually and politically, any opposition. The most articulate theoreticians and ideologists prepare related articles,a ided by the research, to sell the new policy and to make it appear inevitable and irresistible. By following the evolution of this propaganda in the most prestigious scholarly journal in the world, Foreign Affairs, anyone can determine years in advance what the future defense and foreign policies of the United States will be. If a certain proposition is repeated often enough in that journal, then the U.S. Administration in power--be it Republican or Democratic--begins to act as if that proposition or assumption were an established fact. (Admiral Chester Ward, Kissinger on the Couch, p. 151. 1975.)
“[the CFR has as a goal] submergence of U.S. sovereignty and national independence into an all-powerful one-world government.… this lust to surrender the sovereignty and independence of the United States is pervasive throughout most of the membership.… In the entire CFR lexicon, there is no term of revulsion carrying a meaning so deep as ‘America First’” (Admiral Chester Ward, Kissinger on the Couch, pp. 144-150. 1975.)
