Transcript

0:01 Hello, everybody. I just had a really funny thought. I think I need to make a trip to the... You guys remember, gosh, it's been probably two years ago when we've... I forget what we were even talking about at the time, but I had somebody reach out to me in the DMs on...

0:36 about talking bad about Army intelligence and their role in Operation Gladio. And this guy that worked at the museum out in Arizona for Army intelligence was very indignant. And he told me he was going to have his colonel call me. And I just kind of...

1:05 gave him a smiley face back. And I said, you can have anybody you want call me. It doesn't matter. You're not going to shut me up. And, you know, doing some of the reading that I've been doing recently and going back to our beginnings where the transition of

1:29 The stay behind units happened and Lyman Lemonsker was involved in it at Operation Sunrise. You guys know the whole story. But the grouping and the part that the counterintelligence core had at the end of World War II in grouping all of the Nazis that we were going to save and rat line out of there. I'm wondering.

1:58 Because this museum supposedly covers World War II. I'm wondering what's in the archives at the Intelligence Museum for the Army that relates. Because you can imagine there had to be communication back and forth from higher headquarters to the Corps commander, to the NCOs, to the interpreters.

2:26 How did that list that Levin Lemonsker brought back to Eisenhower, how did that transition into the quote-unquote interrogations and the segregation of the premier Nazis that we were going to use post-World War II, like the Galens and the Skorzenys? Because there had to have been communication. Maybe that's worth a trip out there.

2:55 just to look into the archives of exactly what was documented. I don't know why that thought just came in my head, but so I know this isn't the book that I said we were going to do, but this book is very interesting and it's very short. We'll probably be done with it this week, which is why I wanted to go ahead and do it because right now.

3:23 thanks to a lot of exposure of the funding of the current turmoil, there's a lot of communications going on about these NGOs and foundations funding the nefarious stuff. And this book I've held onto for probably a year now. And when I was out in my bookcase going through,

3:50 I thought, you know what? It's worth just going through this book real quick. It's a good reference book because this book, oddly enough, was written in 1962. They reprinted it thanks to this new publishing.

4:21 house called Western Islands, and they have reprinted a whole bunch of very interesting old books. I've bought probably 10 from them. I just recently bought The Death of James Forrestal. I haven't read it yet, but it's a book dedicated just to that topic. And again,

4:49 They're all old. Let me look at the Forrester one. What the original copyright. Yeah, it was originally written in 1966. And they have some very interesting information, albeit old. This particular book was written by Dan Smoot, who was a former FBI agent.

5:17 And talks about some information that he was exposed to. And what he figured out by operating in that arena. And it starts off by, in the foreword, it says when the Invisible Government was first published.

5:47 Almost no one had heard about the Council of Foreign Relations, which is very interesting since it was created a long time before the 1960s. And he says that few realize the significance. The book, obviously, written in 1962, was before JFK and MLK's assassination, before the Vietnam War got...

6:21 really going before Watergate. And it's interesting from the perspective that all of those very traumatic events had not occurred, where no one was actually looking around for organizations like the Council on Foreign Relations, because that was basically something that normal Americans would never have thought that their government was involved in.

6:52 this type of intrigue. And he goes on to say right up front that there was a list that the author had gathered in 1961 of the current CFR members that occupied positions in the federal government. And then the reprinting of this book.

7:20 compared a 1977 list of the CFR and trilateral commissions. And it talks about how they're very similar to each other. For example, it would have the position of the people that like John McCloy and

7:50 Then you fast forward and you look at the person that is in his position in 1977 just so happens to occupy the same positions. So I'm not going to spend too much more time on that. The book's beginning in the introduction talks about May 30th, 1961.

8:21 President Kennedy departed for Europe and a summit with Khrushchev. Every day, the president's tour was given banner headlines. And the meeting with Khrushchev was reported as an event of earth-shaking consequences. It was a very, very important meeting. But a meeting which was probably far more important and which had commanded no front line headlines.

8:52 happened on May 29th, the day before the President and Mrs. Kennedy's Grand Tour. On May 12th, 1961, Dr. Philip Mosley, Director of the Study of Council on Foreign Relations, announced that prominent Soviet and American citizens would hold a week-long unofficial conference on Soviet-American relations in the Soviet Union beginning on May 22nd.

9:19 Dr. Mosley was co-chairman of the American group, said the State Department, had approved the meeting, but the Americans involved would go as private citizens to express their own view. The New York Times story on Dr. Mosley's announcement appeared on May 13, 1961. Quote,

9:44 The importance attached to the Soviet Union to the meeting appears to suggest by the fact that the Soviet group will include three members of the Communist Party's Central Committee and one candidate member of that body. The meeting to be held in the town of whatever it is in Crimea will follow the pattern of similar unofficial meeting.

10:14 in which many of the same persons participated at Dartmouth College last fall. The meetings will take place in private and there will be no plans to issue any statements. The topics to be discussed include disarmament and guaranteeing international peace, the role of the UN in strengthening international security, the role of advanced nations in aiding underdeveloped countries.

10:43 and the prospects for peaceful and improving Soviet-U.S. relations. The Dartmouth conference last fall and the scheduled Crimea conference originated from a suggestion made by Norman Cousins, editor of the Saturday Review and co-chairman of the American group Going to Crimea. He had visited the Soviet Union before.

11:11 Mr. Cousins and Dr. Mosley formed a small American group early last year to organize the conferences. It received financial support from the Ford Foundation. They paid the cost of this group traveling to Crimea and the Dartmouth meeting. The group selected the American representatives. Among those who participated in the Dartmouth conference were several.

11:43 who had taken high positions in the Kennedy administration, including Dr. Walt Rostow, who was an assistant to JFK, and George Kennan, who was the U.S. ambassador to Yugoslavia. And then he goes on and talks about several of the people from Russia that had been involved. And he notes that Marian Anderson, the singer,

12:12 Dean Irwin Griswold of Harvard Law School, Gabriel Hogue, former economic advisor to President Eisenhower, who had moved on to be an executive at the Manufacturer's Trust Company, Dr. Margaret Mead, an anthropologist, whose name, like that of Cousins, had been associated with the Communist Front activities in the United States.

12:43 Dr. A. William Luce, Director of Church Peace Union. Stuart Chase, an American author and well-known socialist. William Benton, former U.S. Senator, also well-known socialist and now Chairman of the Board of Encyclopedia Britannica. Dr. George Fisher of MIT.

13:16 Professor Doty of Harvard Chemistry Department. Professor Lloyd Reynolds of Yale University and an economist. Professor Louis Sohn of Harvard Law School. Dr. Joseph Johnson, old school and former associate of Alger Hiss at the State Department. And he also.

13:46 uh replaced hiss as the president of the carnegie endowment for international peace and was still in the position in 1961 a professor um that worked at the state department and was director of the international affairs the center for international affairs at harvard which was a cia front and dr arthur

14:17 Larson, who was the ghostwriter for President Eisenhower. So you get the impression that this is a very interesting group that would be going as a precursor to something that was that important. Many of those people were affiliated with the Council on Foreign Relations as well.

14:51 The author goes on to say that the information about the membership and activities of the CFR and its affiliates came from basically what they had written. That's what he was looking at. He'd went through a lot of their, because, you know, they have a lot of prolific writers there. And just like the Fabian Society, they tell you everything they're going to do. He said one aspect.

15:19 of the overall subject admitted entirely from this book is the working relationship between internationalist groups in the U.S. and their counterparts abroad. And he mentioned specifically the RIIA, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House, which is the counterpart to the CFR.

15:43 And he points out that almost all of these organizations in the United States, weirdly enough, has counterparts. He goes on to disclose that many of the European countries have subordinate RIIA affiliates throughout the European area. Of course, this would be Western Europe at the time.

16:12 And then he talks about the Bilderbergs. And he talks about such a powerful group. And again, mentions the overlap between the members of the RIIA and the CFR with the Bilderbergs. And he talks a little bit about, you know, how it got its name and stuff like that. We already know that. And then he mentions that it was ran by Prince.

16:41 Bernhard of the Netherlands. And he is a member of the, I'm not sure how you say this, Society General of Belique, a mysterious organization, which seems to have some association of large corporate interests from many countries.

17:10 American firms associated with the society are said to be among the large corporations whose officers are members of the CFR. So what Dan is describing is the international syndicate. So he talks about in chapter one, how we were our own little country over here doing our own thing for well over 100 years, right up until Woodrow Wilson.

17:40 Now, of course, that kind of glosses over Teddy Roosevelt and the Spanish-American War and that type of thing. But the few colonies that we had accrued by that point, but point well taken, he notices a significant difference. And specifically, he talks about Woodrow Wilson's war message to Congress.

18:08 In April 1917, Wilson himself, when campaigning in 1916, had unequivocally said, we are not getting in that nasty war. However, Dan attributes the fact that we did get in that war to Colonel, fake Colonel, he's not a real Colonel, Edward M. House.

18:38 According to House's own papers and historical studies of Wilson's admirers, like the intimate papers of Colonel House edited by Charles Seymour and published in 1926, House created Wilson's domestic and foreign policies, not Wilson. He said that House was responsible for selecting most of Wilson's cabinet.

19:12 And he basically ran Wilson's State Department. House had very powerful connections. House is, by the way, a Fabian as well. With international bankers in New York. He was influential with great financial institutions represented by Paul and Felix Warburg, Otto Kahn, Louis Marburg, Henry Morgenthau, Jacob and Mortimer.

19:43 Schiff, Herbert Lehman, House had equally powerful connections with bankers and politicians in Europe. Bringing all of that to bear, House persuaded Wilson that America had an evangelistic mission to save the world for quote unquote democracy.

20:11 The first major 20th century tragedy for the U.S. resulted Wilson's war message to Congress in the Declaration of War on April 6, 1917. House also persuaded Wilson that the way to avoid future wars was to create a World Federation of Nations on May 27, 1916 in a speech to the League.

20:45 To enforce peace. That seems like an oxymoron. Enforcing peace. Those two words don't seem to go together. Wilson first publicly endorsed Colonel House's world government idea without ever disclosing that it was House's idea. In September 1916, Wilson

21:16 at the urging of House, appointed a committee of intellectuals, the first president's brain trust, the experts, the scientists, to formulate peace terms and draw up a charter for world government, which obviously would take the form of the League of Nations post-World War I. This committee,

21:48 had none other than House in charge. It consisted, you're never going to believe this, of course you will, 150 college professors, graduate students, lawyers, economists, writers, among others. There were men still familiar to Americans in the 1960s, like Walter Lippman, a columnist, Norman Thomas,

22:20 head of the American Socialist Party, Alan Dulles, John Foster Dulles, Christian Harder, who was a Secretary of State. These intellectuals around Wilson, under the leadership of Colonel House, drew up a charter for world government that was called the League of Nations Covenant and prepared

22:52 for the brave new socialist One World to follow World War I. But things went sour at the Paris Peace Conference. They soured even more when constitutionalists in the U.S. Senate found out what was being planned and made it quite plain that the Senate would never authorize the United States to join a membership of a world federation, which...

23:21 The U.S. did not join the League of Nations. House was very, very disappointed. But he was not willing to give up because the Fabians are turtles. They just keep on going. He called a meeting in Paris, France. A group of his most dedicated intellectuals, like John Foster and Alan Dulles, Christian Harder, and Tasker.

23:54 They had a dinner with a whole group of Englishmen. You mean Fabians. They had this dinner at Majestic House in Paris, which is covered in the Fabian Highway. This was a very consequential meeting. They formally agreed to create an organization, quote, for the study of international affairs.

24:27 Unquote. Well, what happened right after that? A couple of years later, we get the Council on Foreign Relations and the British sets up the Royal International Institute, Institute of International Affairs. That's crazy. It's almost like their whole purpose was to implement one world government under a Fabian gradualist approach. The purpose.

25:03 they decided for the CFR, was to set the conditions for the American people to accept this. What House called a positive foreign policy for America to replace the traditional negative foreign policy, which had kept America out of endless international politics and had permitted American people.

25:31 to develop their own great nation in freedom and independence from everybody else. These people hated our Constitution. The Council did not amount to a great deal until 1927, when the Rockefeller family, through various Rockefeller foundations and funds, began pouring a crack ton of money into it. And before long, Carnegie Foundation,

26:01 and later the Ford Foundation, also started contributing to the effort. In 1929, the council, largely with Rockefeller gifts, acquired the headquarters in New York City. In 1939, the council began taking over the U.S. State Department. Shortly after the start of World War II, in September of 1939,

26:31 Hamilton Fish Armstrong and Walter Mallory of the CFR visited the State Department to offer their services. It was agreed that the council would do research and make recommendations for the State Department. In other words, they're just going to run it. The council formed groups to work in four general areas, security and armaments, economic and financial, political, and territorial.

27:06 The Rockefeller Foundation agreed to finance through grants the entire operation. In February of 41, the CFR's relationship with the State Department changed. The State Department created the Division of Special Research, which was divided into economic, security, political, and territorial. In other words, they moved the CFR inside of the State Department. Leo Paswalski

27:35 of the council was appointed as the division chief. Like literally they moved the CFR in the State Department. During 1942, the State Department set up an advisory committee on post-war foreign policy. Secretary of State Cordill Hall was the chairman. The following members of the CFR were on that committee. Under Secretary of State Sumner Wells was the vice chairman.

28:09 Dr. Leo Pawlowski was the executive officer, Hamilton Fish Armstrong, Isaiah Bowman, Benjamin Cohen, Norman Davis, and James Shotwell. Other members of the council also found positions in the State Department like Philip Mosley, Walter Sharp, Grayston Kirk, among others. The crowning moment of achievement for the council came

28:40 In San Francisco in 1945, when over 40 members of the U.S. delegation to the organizational meeting of the U.N., where the U.N. charter was written, they were members of the CFR. Among them, Alger Hiss, Secretary of State Edward Stenonis, Leo Pawlowski, John Foster Dulles, John McCloy.

29:12 Julius Holmes, Nelson Rockefeller, Adelaide Stevenson, Joseph Johnson, Ralph Bunak, Clark Eichelberger, and Thomas Finletter. By 45, the CFR and various foundations and other organizations were interlocked and had basically taken over the State Department. Other CFR members like Owen Lattimore,

29:43 with powerful influence in the Roosevelt and Truman administration, was subsequently identified not as actual communist, but conscious articulate instruments of the Soviet International Committee. The author then clarifies he doesn't mean to imply that the CFR were communist, but they definitely had a very socialist tint to them.

30:20 So he goes on. There were indications of the influence. And of course, algebra should be a dead giveaway. There were indications of the influence of CFR members that can be found in the boast of their friends. Consider the remarkable case of nomination and confirmation of Julius Holmes, the U.S. ambassador to Iran. Holmes.

30:52 was one of the CFR members who served as the U.S. delegate to the U.N. founding conference in San Francisco. Holmes had had many important jobs in the State Department since 1925, but from 45 to 48, he was out of government service. During that early post-war period, the U.S. had approximately 390 Merchant Marine oil tankers.

31:21 built and used during World War II. Now, they were designated as surplus. A law of Congress prohibited the government from selling the surplus vehicles to foreign-owned or foreign-controlled companies and prohibited any American company from purchasing them and then reselling them to foreigners. The purpose of the law was to guarantee that oil tankers would remain under the control of the U.S. government.

31:52 Julius Holmes conceived of an idea of making a quick profit by buying and selling the surplus tankers. Holmes was usually associated with Edward Stenenes, the former Secretary of State, and with two of his principal advisors, Joe Casey, a former U.S. congressman, and Stanley Klein, a New York financier. In August of 47, this group formed a corporation.

32:23 to buy the surplus oil tankers. The legal and technical maneuvering which followed is complex and shady, but it was later discovered in congressional committee testimony. Holmes and his associates managed to buy eight oil tankers from the U.S. government and resell them to foreign interest in violation of the law.

32:50 One of the eight tankers was ultimately leased to the Soviet Union and used to haul fuel oil from communist Romania to China during the Korean War. By the time he returned to foreign service with the State Department in September of 1948, Holmes had made for himself an estimated profit of over a million dollars with basically no investment of his own money.

33:22 The Senate Subcommittee, which in 1952 investigated this, unanimously condemned the Holmes-Casey-Klein-Tanker deal as morally wrong and clearly a violation of federal law. Holmes and his associates were criminally indicted in 1954, but the Justice Department dismissed the indictments on a technicality.

33:52 Anyone who thinks that our DOJ is just now corrupt, remind them of that. Because the DOJ is full of the same people that are in the State Department, from the same secret societies and CFR foundation people. A few weeks after the criminal indictment was dropped,

34:24 President Eisenhower nominated Holmes to be the ambassador to Iran. I'm sure that had absolutely nothing to do with the dropping of the indictment. That's crazy. In 1955, enough US senators expressed a dissent, a decent sense of outrage about the nomination that they allowed Holmes.

34:59 name to be withdrawn. The State Department promptly sent Holmes to Tangier with the rank of minister, brought him back to Washington in 56 as a special assistant to the Secretary of State and sent him out as minister and consul general to Hong Kong and Macau in 1959. What was going on in Hong Kong and Macau in 1959? Well,

35:29 The short answer is heroin. And then in 61, Kennedy nominated Holmes for the same job Eisenhower had tried to give him in 1955, the ambassador to Iran. Arguing in favor of Holmes, none other than Senator Prescott Bush admitted that Holmes' tanker deal was improper and ill-advised, but claimed

36:00 Holmes was just an innocent victim of operators. And that million dollars, ill-gotten gains, but he never gave it back. When questioned in April of 1961, Holmes said he still saw nothing wrong with what he did. He saw an opportunity and took it. No regrets.

36:31 All senators who supported Holmes in debate hammered away at the point that although Holmes may have done something shady and unsavory during the three-year period in the late 1940s when he was out of government service, I'm sorry, but the law doesn't stop applying to you as a civilian. It applies even more to you as a civilian. There was no evidence that he ever misbehaved while he's in government service.

37:00 You can commit all the crimes you want as a private citizen. We don't care. If you come into government service and don't commit crimes, you're good. That's crazy. Senate debates on the confirmation of Holmes as ambassador to Iran are printed in the congressional record. The vote was taken on May 8th after the history of Julius Holmes.

37:28 had been thoroughly exposed, the Senate confirmed his nomination, 75 to 21. Four senators abstained. Julius Holmes was sworn in as the U.S. ambassador to Iran in 1961. The reason why Holmes was nominated for an important ambassadorship by two presidents and finally confirmed by the Senate was inadvertently revealed by Senator Prescott Bush.

38:01 Holmes, a CFR member, is a darling of the internationalists, the same ones that want to drag America into one world socialist government. During the Senate debate about Holmes nomination, Senator Bush asked this, quote, I believe that one of the most telling witnesses with whom I have ever talked regarding Mr. Holmes is Mr. Henry

38:33 president of Brown University, now chairman of the CFR. He is also chairman of the American Assembly. Mr. Whiston not only holds these distinguished offices, but he has also made a special study of the State Department and career service in the State Department. He is credited with having whistonized

39:00 the Foreign Service in the United States. He told me a few years ago that Julius Holmes is the ablest man in the Foreign Service Corps in the United States, unquote. Mr. Whiston was, in 1961, the president, not chairman, as Senator Bush called him, of the CFR. But Senator Bush was not exaggerating when he said that the State Department had been Whistonized.

39:32 If we acknowledge that the State Department had been converted into the CFR, indeed, the senator could have said that the United States government had been westernized. So basically, Prescott Bush let the cat out of the bag by acknowledging that the entire Foreign Service was controlled by the CFR.

40:04 Which makes perfect sense when you realize that a lot of the CIA guys assume foreign service credentials when they are stationed overseas. Makes perfect sense. And who does the CIA actually work for? The guys that control the CFR. So he lists a whole line of examples of CFR.

40:33 who in 1961 held positions in the government. Dean, I'm not gonna read them all. I'll read the most notorious ones. Dean Rusk, Douglas Dillon, Adelaide Stevenson, W. Avril Harriman, John McCloy, General Lyman Lemitsker. I have to say that with extra disgust. Lieutenant General James Gavin.

41:03 George Kennan, Julius Holmes, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., George Ball, McGeorge Bundy, Paul Nitz, Adolph Burrell. Those are just some of the notable ones. Is Warhamster here? He'd be going, skull and bones, skull and bones. Okay, that's just crazy.

41:31 In the 1960-61 annual report of the CFR, there was an item of information which reveals a great deal about the close relationship between the council and the federal government. On page 37, the report explained while there had been an unusually large recent increase in the number of non-resident members, meaning CFR members, who do not

41:59 reside within 50 miles of New York City. Quote, the rather large increase in the non-resident academic category is largely explained by the fact that many academic members have left New York to join the new administration, unquote. So between New York City and Washington, D.C., we could account for almost all of them.

42:29 Concerning President Kennedy's membership in the CFR, because he was to a member, there's an interesting story. On June 7th, 1960, Kennedy, then a United States Senator, wrote a letter answering a question about his membership in the council. Quote, I am a member of the council in New York City as a longtime subscriber to the quarterly foreign affairs and as a member of the Senate, I was invited to become a member, unquote.

42:59 On August 23rd, 1961, Mr. George Franklin, executive director of the CFR, wrote a letter answering a question about Kennedy's membership. He said, quote, I am enclosing the latest annual report of the council with a list of members in the back. You will note that President Eisenhower is a member, but this is not true of either Kennedy or Truman, unquote.

43:27 Kennedy is not listed as a member in the 6061 annual report. The council is actually a small organization. Its membership restricted to 700 resident members, American citizens whose residence or place of business is within 50 miles of the city hall in New York City. The 700 non-resident members, American citizens who do business outside that 50 mile radius.

43:55 but most of the members occupy important positions in government, in education, and in the press, broadcasting industry, business, finance, and foundations. Wow. An indication of the overall accomplishments of the council can be found in their annual reports. They also include in their prominent members' speeches.

44:30 One speech from Walter Mallory when he retired after 32 years as the executive director of the council, speaking to the board of directors at a dinner in 1959, said this, quote, when I cast my mind back to 1927, the year that I first joined the council, it seems little short of a miracle that the organization could have taken root.

44:59 In those days, you will remember that the United States had decided not to join the League of Nations. On the domestic front, the budget was extremely small, taxes were light, and we didn't even recognize the Russians. What could there possibly be for a Council of Foreign Relations to do? Change all of that. That's what. He goes on. Well, there were a few men who did not feel content.

45:29 with that comfortable, isolationist climate. They thought the U.S. had an important role to play in the world, and they resolved to try and find out what that role ought to be. Some of those men are present here tonight, unquote. So in that speech, they definitely confirmed that the entire purpose of the CFR was to not only

46:00 create socialism in the United States, but to ensure that the United States becomes part of one world government. And their mission was to change America and make that happen. Right after the Senate decided that we constitutionally could not join the League of Nations, the council's principal publication

46:32 Foreign Affairs, publishing this quarterly is the council's major activity and income from the publication is their non-donation source of income. On June 30th, 1961, Foreign Affairs had a circulation of 43,500 people, but it is probably the most influential publication in the world.

47:02 key figures in government from the Secretary of State on down, all subscribe. Other publications of the Council included three volumes, which it publishes annually, called the Politic Handbook of the World, the United States in World Affairs, and Documents on American Foreign Relations. There's also books that they write and special studies that they do.

47:36 Under their budget, there was corporation service listed. That means money contributed to the council by business firms, which is very interesting. So let me just give you a few numbers. And again, this is in 1960. The membership dues brought in about $100,000.

48:12 Corporate services brought in about $100,000. Foundation grants brought in about 200, over 200, almost $250,000. Foundation grants by the Ford, the Carnegie's, Rockefeller. So this is their vehicle to do this. But interestingly enough, this particular publication listed

48:44 The companies by name, like I'm not gonna, there's a lot of them. I'm not gonna name all of them. AT&T, Aluminum Limited, Arabian American Oil Company, Armco, Bankers Trust, Belgium Security Corporation, Bethlehem Steel, Brown Brothers Harriman, of course, Cabot Corporation.

49:13 California, Texas Oil Corporation. So of course the Rockefellers not only give from their foundations, they give from their corporation too. Campbell Soup, Chase Manhattan. Who else do we see here? Corning Glass, Drescher. Oh, the DuPonts are in there. First National City Bank of New York, Ford Motor.

49:42 Freeport Sulfur. Now Freeport is one that turns into Freeport Mining, blah, blah, blah. General Dynamics, General Motors, the Gillette Company, WR Grace. Of course, they're in there. Gulf Oil, Halliburton. Oh, look, Heinz. Heinz is in there. IBM, of course, they would be in there. General Electric is in there.

50:10 Oh, look at that. A special one. ITT. They're in there because of course they are. Irving Trust. Kellogg's. Carl Loeb. Merck. The pharmaceutical. Mobile Oil. National Cash Register. And that's very interesting because that's where we see James Angleton and his dad over in Italy working for that same company. The New York Times.

50:43 Otis Elevator, Pan Am, Pfizer, RCA. Oh, and my favorite, the Rand Corporation. Yeah, they're in there too. Let's see. The San Joaquinto Petroleum Corporation. Now I'm producing a document that lists all of the foundations from a diagram that I found in William Bloom's book a long time ago.

51:12 And this San Jaquito, they have a foundation from the San Jaquito Petroleum Company. You see them a lot. And I mean a lot in all of the different foundations giving to different, they're basically money laundering because the CIA gives the money to the foundations and then they forward them to all of these think tanks.

51:42 J. Henry Schroeder Banking, Sinclair Oil, The Singer Manufacturing, which is, of course, the sewing machines. Oh, and Standard Oil of California, Standard Oil, Standard Oil, Standard Oil. Texaco, Texas Golf, Texas Instruments, Time, of course, they would be there. U.S. Steel, that's kind of the biggies. Those are the people that...

52:13 were basically funding the CFR, both through their companies and their foundations, as I pointed out. From one of their 1960 annual reports, it says, subscribers to the council's corporate services who pay a minimum of $1,000 are entitled to special privileges. Among them are...

52:40 Free consultation with members of the council staff on problems of foreign policy. Now, I find that statement very, very interesting because we know this council or consultation of foreign policy.

53:03 means that for money, this is a paid subscription to the CFR, which is embedded in the State Department, that if you give us money, we'll make sure that we take care of your needs internationally. If this is not a pay for play, I don't know what is. And then it goes on to say, you get all these other stupid things like invitations to special dinners and

53:35 You get specialized library access on international affairs, blah, blah, blah. It also says that they have seminars where business executives can come be trained. Isn't that cool? All speakers at the council dinners and seminars for business executives are advocates of internationalism.

54:07 and one world government many of them in fact are important officials in government this gives them direct access to the u.s government but they're meeting with people that's part of their group just the people that have been moved to dc that used to be in their group in new york in

54:34 1960 and 61, the three issues of major importance to both Eisenhower and Kennedy were supposedly disarmament. They also were concerned about tariff and trade policies. Eisenhower and Kennedy's position seemed to be very closely aligned with the CFR and their advocates in the State Department.

55:07 at least initially. Kennedy changed several of those. The business executives who attended the CFR briefings and seminars were basically going to an indoctrination camp of internationalists. One of the seminars for business executives was like a presentation was included in one of their

55:36 It says the fall 1960 seminar was brought to a close with an appraisal of disarmament negotiations past and present. Edmund Goulian, then acting director of the U.S. Disarmament Administration, quote, the international position of the dollar was the theme of the spring 1961 seminar series. Robert Trippen.

56:03 professor of economics at none other than Yale University, spoke on the present balance of payment situation at the opening session. At the second meeting, William Diebold, Jr., director of economics studies at the council, addressed the group on U.S. foreign trade policy. The third meeting dealt with foreign investments and balance of payments. August Maffrey, vice president of Irving

56:32 Trust Company, Irving Trust is another one of those prolific givers to money laundering for the CIA, was discussion leader. Then George Ball, who currently was the Undersecretary for Economic Affairs, spoke at a dinner. Ball was for several years a registered lobbyist in Washington for foreign commercial interest. He was the chief architect.

57:06 of Kennedy's 1962 trade and tariff proposals. In 60 and 61, 84 leading corporations contributed the over $100,000 tax exempt to the CFR for the privilege of having their executives be exposed to propaganda for international socialism. Another excerpt.

57:38 in the annual report in 1958, says during 58 and 59, the council's program of meetings continued to place emphasis on small round table meetings. Of the 99 meetings held during the year, 58 were round tables. The balance of the meeting program was made up of traditional large afternoon and dinner sessions for large groups of council meetings. In the course of the year, they convened meetings for

58:08 Castro, let's see, Premier Mildian, and Secretary General of the UN, Dag Hammarskjöld. So, very interesting. Then they went on to say that if you look through that same document in the late 1950s, that

58:42 there was a surprising number of known communist and communist sympathizers or admitted socialist. And says the prime minister of Ghana, who was widely believed to be a communist, who is admittedly socialist and who aligned his nation with the Soviets, spoke to the council on free Africa with W. Avril Harriman.

59:14 One of the foreign ministers for the United Arab Republic, a very well-known and declared socialist who really did not and was very outspoken about the fact that he didn't like the United States, was invited to the CFR to talk about the Middle East. So that's crazy.

59:44 And then it goes on to talk about all of these other people coming in with well-known, very socialist agendas to include Fidel Castro. He was invited to talk to the CFR about Cuba-U.S. relations. He named a whole bunch of other ones, but we don't need to go through all of them. I'll close with this part right here.

1:00:20 This is a quote from the 6061 annual report. During the past season of the CFR, they carried out their customary private dinner meetings and all 206 dinner meetings were held. The council arranged or figured in the arrangement of about three quarters of the meetings and the other sessions were undertaken by the initiative of the overall committee. Attendance.

1:00:49 average 28 people per session, dinner, slightly more than the previous years. There is a little change in membership, the total being just under 1,800. It will be recalled that membership consists of men who are leaders in professions and occupations. And then it talks about

1:01:17 The annual conference that they had, with mounting pressures throughout the year, made it advisable to plan a conference and program that would facilitate the strategic uses of the UN for American policy in the years ahead. Accordingly, their new theme was going to be the U.S. policy and the UN, with an emphasis on

1:01:46 The U.S. national interest being the agenda of the U.N. In the course of the year, officers and members of the council and staff visited most of the committees for the purpose of leading discussions and guiding the committees. So we'll stop there for today. It's hard to believe this guy was in the FBI, but obviously he had a firsthand seed.

1:02:26 in watching all of this unfold. Go ahead, SR. Thank you, Colonel. And thank everyone for attending here on Rumble and on Spaces. If you got a question, raise your hand. The Colonel will get to you in turn. We'll give you a mic. Two things came to mind out of all of this real quick. First thing is it started with 700 people. And this is the initial beginning of not only CFR, but Chatham House. Yep.

1:03:01 So they had it both ways, internationally and nationally here in the U.S. This guy, House, and what he did and how he managed to do it and how he managed to pull all these people together is unbelievable. I don't know what else to say. He's a Fabian.

1:03:27 Oh, yes, he is. Yes, House was a Fabian. He had the entire backing of the Fabians in England. Yeah. And it's funny because when you start researching the Fabians and you understand their target of the economists, the legal profession, the government,

1:03:57 academia, you quickly start looking at the backgrounds of people in a completely different light. And they had particular universities in the United States that they targeted. Yale, Columbia, Chicago were their first targets. And Harvard, where they were seeding Fabian.

1:04:26 London School of Economic people in as guest lecturers, as visiting professors, just like fully infiltrating the academics. And then they set up these other organizations like

1:04:45 RIIA and the CFR where they have that. They had the Pilgrim Society. There's all of these cross-pollination things going on. And when you look at them in total, which is what we're trying to do, you see the overall plan because they're all socialists. They're Fabian socialists. And their agenda was to fundamentally change the United States.

1:05:14 away from our constitution and into one world government. So yeah, it's quite enlightening when you actually go back and now read in their own words, because again, they're very vocal about it. They were not at all, and Prescott Bush said it right in the Senate. They're not at all ashamed of what they're doing.

1:05:48 It's just that no one, I think, during that period of time could fathom that their government was doing that. Well, this was someone who was definitely paying attention to what was going on at the time when he wrote this book. Yeah. Yeah. And you find out that he's not alone. You know, there were several people back in those days, but because...

1:06:18 As you can see from the little bit that we shared today and what we know, that the journalists, the media, is always part of this. And not just any media, the media. They're all in on this. And no one writing a book like this is going to get any traction at all. It's not going to be exposed in the newspapers. You're not going to hear anything about it.

1:06:47 In reality, back then, there was very little other way that you could do it. So very interesting. Okay. Just saying the Council of Foreign Relations should also be buried underneath that rubble, underneath that nuclear waste. Yeah, I had not, until I came across this book, I had not, not that it doesn't make sense. I had just never seen it presented.

1:07:21 in a way in which they basically, naming names, infiltrated and took over the State Department from the CFR. And you have it in Prescott Bush's own words that that's exactly what they did. So somebody from the inside telling you the inside baseball. All right, guys, that's all I got for today. We will be back.

1:07:58 Tomorrow, we did a Tommy's podcast today. It was a fun one. I'll go find it. I'm sure it's out by now and get that posted. I did a couple of books that I've read, but we're not gonna do them as book reviews. And I thought in the future, what I'll do if I know for sure I'm not gonna do a book as a book review.

1:08:25 in this type of forum. I'm going to go ahead and do a brief book review and publish it as an article. I found the one of the two Russians. I don't have that book in front of me right now to tell you what their names is. I just published it today. It's fascinating because it's two guys living in Russia that wrote a book a long time ago.

1:08:55 Basically disclosed Operation Gladio, the overthrowing of governments and everything. I found it at the same place. And forgive me, I'm not gonna remember the name of the book either, but this Western Islands book publishing place.

1:09:15 I ordered, like I said, like 10 books from there. I got on their website and I'm like, oh my God, I want that book. I want that book. I want that book. But they're fascinating books. And I was saying on the Tommy podcast today that one of the funny things about this journey is we've done all of this work.

1:09:35 in the background, research coming to conclusions. We have, okay, I think this is going this way. And then we'll find a book that goes, yeah, yeah, that definitely went that way. And then to be almost four years into this and find out that the Soviet Union back in like the 1960s wrote a book and outlined the entire thing. And it's like,

1:10:04 damn it, I wish I'd have found that book back then. But the downside of doing that is you wouldn't have went through all of this research to come to the same conclusion. So it's kind of like a good kind of pat on the back that, yeah, you got it. And even they knew what was going on. And we did not, based on that book, miss much.

1:10:32 But, you know, they're sitting over in the Soviet Union taking notes of all of the intelligence that they're collecting on what Alan Dulles and all those weirdos was doing around the world. And they basically discovered this entire operation. So if you haven't had a chance to look over it, it's very short. I think you should just take a glance at it. It's hilarious.

1:11:00 in a really evil way. But anyway, all right, we're going to sign off. You guys take care. Have a nice evening. See you tomorrow.
