I’ll end with a quote from Barak Obama in the 2008 campaign: “the greatest risk we can take is to try the same, old politics with the same, old players and expect a different result.”

That’s my point. Both parties are using the same old CFR players. Only Ron Paul would not and now he’s gone.

HOW THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATION CONTROLS BOTH PARTIES
Gary North coincides with my writings in a discussion of how the Council on Foreign Relations has used two teams of advisors termed, “Team A and Team B” for the past 35 years to play both sides of the ideological spectrum. There is a lot of good history in Gary’s commentaries. We are seeing CFR Team A in full bloom right now as top globalists Condoleezza Rice, James A. Baker, George P. Shultz and Henry A. Kissinger endorse Mitt Romney in the Washington Times:
“That is why we have endorsed Mitt Romney for president. He has the experience, strategy and temperament to lead a robust economic recovery and rein in the mounting federal debt that threatens our future. And he fully understands that our prosperity at home is inextricably linked to our influence abroad [meaning: control abroad]. Mr. Romney has laid out a strong and mature vision of American leadership during his campaign. It is based on a consistent theme that peace abroad depends on American vitality [meaning: military power to intervene].
“Mr. Romney understands that the world remains a dangerous place. He is a staunch supporter of our alliances around the world [which provide excuses for war and drawing others into them]. He believes in maintaining our military strength. He is committed to expanding free trade and investment [of the corporatist/globalist variety only]. He will oppose the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction [here they are speaking to him, because so far, Romney has not committed to more disarmament, which is what they are really aiming at]. And he knows that no American president should ever be ashamed of espousing the democratic principles upon which our nation was founded.” With my insertions, I’ve tried to interpret for my readers the globalist messages their language was trying to convey, but promoting Democracy has never been what this intervention is about!
So, there you have the statement from Team A, which always controls the Republicans. This endorsement is not an indication that Romney is one of them, only that CFR Team A is positioning itself in his camp to control him, if he gets elected (which I doubt they will allow). Team B controls Obama. Tom Donilon, National Security Advisor, is currently Obama’s handler. Here’s Gary’s take, with [my comments in brackets].
“Back in 1976, an insightful author named Susan Huck wrote an article for American Opinion, the monthly magazine of the John Birch Society. She was commenting on the supposedly titanic presidential struggle between Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter. She described it as a battle between CFR Team A and CFR Team B. I have used that designation ever since. This is one of the most profound insights into 20th-century American politics that anyone has ever written. I can think of no textbook, no sophisticated statistical study, that comes closer to what is really involved every four years, when the Republican Party and the Democratic Party battle for control of the White House.
“A major Establishment book on the control of American foreign-policy by the Council on Foreign Relations, The Wise Men: Six Friends and the World They Made (1986), was written by Walter Isaacson and Evan Thomas [Some truth but a lot of disinformation and masking of their real intentions. Both were insiders, so they would never tell all]. Isaacson graduated from Harvard in 1974. In 1996, Isaacson became senior editor of Time magazine. He became chairman and CEO of CNN in 2001, and then president and CEO of the Aspen Institute in 2003. He is the author of the best-selling biography of Steve Jobs. Thomas ever since 1991 has been the assistant managing editor at Newsweek. He formerly worked for Time. He teaches journalism at Princeton. An insider? You had better believe it.
“There have been only two major presidential elections since 1932 that did not conform to this Punch and Judy arrangement. One was in 1964, when Goldwater was able to get the Republican nomination, and the Eastern Republican Establishment [controlled by globalists in the CFR] literally walked out of the convention, and then spent the rest of the summer torpedoing Goldwater’s campaign. The other exception, which was only a partial exception, was Reagan’s election in 1980 [no, it was a full exception, but they controlled Reagan by forcing him to accept George Bush Sr, as VP and James Baker as his Chief of Staff—thus ensuring that Reagan could do nothing without his handlers being close to counter him]. His new Chief of Staff was James Baker III. Baker, then as now, was one of the chief advisors to George H. W. Bush. The Reagan administration was run by Bush’s men, with only a few exceptions, for all eight years. Then Bush replaced him.
“The American people, decade after decade, generation after generation, are persuaded that presidential elections are fought over fundamental differences regarding the way the world works and the way the world ought to work. Yet every newly inaugurated President brings in his senior advisers, most of whom are men recruited by the Council on Foreign Relations, and some have been trained in the Trilateral Commission. This never gets any attention by the media, because the media at the top are run by members of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission.
“The typical Republican conservative is aware of none of this. He perhaps has heard a hint or two about it, but he has never spent any time reading the literature that has been produced by conservatives regarding this arrangement ever since the publication of Dan Smoot’s book in 1960, The Invisible Government. The importance of the Skull and Bones connection goes back to the mid-nineteenth century. How is it that an organization that only takes 15 members a year has elected three Presidents, and would have elected a fourth in 2004 if John Kerry had won.
[…]
It would only be the election of the century if it were between Ron Paul and Obama. It’s not with Romney because he’s incapable of changing much domestically, and will continue to do great damage in foreign policy.
I’ll end with a quote from Barak Obama in the 2008 campaign: “the greatest risk we can take is to try the same, old politics with the same, old players and expect a different result.” That’s my point. Both parties are using the same old CFR players. Only Ron Paul would not and now he’s gone.
