Purpose and Influence 

The CFR plays a central role within the Anglo-American establishment. Carol Quigley’s book, 02_ARCHIVE/02 books/Tragedy and Hope, serves as a history of the 20th century from the perspective of the Western establishment and specifically draws on the CFR archives. This indicates the organisation's significance as a repository of strategic thought and planning.

The activities of the CFR are part of a broader effort by banking dynasties and their associated elites to consolidate power and restructure the globe, moving towards an age of transitions in global government.

These globalists envision a "third wave convergence period" and seek to extend a form of Western Anglo-liberal, democratic, and libertarian ideas across the globe.

The explicit goal is to create a world system with financial control exercised by private banks capable of dominating the political system of every country and the economy of the entire world. This global governance is achieved principally through a single economic system, controlled in a feudalistic fashion by the central banks of the world acting together through the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).

The BIS functions as the central bank of central banks, enabling international payments through bookkeeping adjustments and making agreements on major financial, economic, and political problems, particularly concerning loans, payments, and the economic future of key global regions.

Key Figures and Operations 

Prominent figures associated with the CFR and its influence include:

• Allen Dulles: Part of the family instrumental in the Cold War and the rise of the military-industrial complex. The Rockefellers worked in concert with the Dulles family, ramping up trilateralism and CFR-ism.Allen Dulles, identified as being of the Council on Foreign Relations, delivered opening and closing speeches at a 1939 conference on collective security at Chatham House, where he also chaired study meetings.
• Frank Aydelotte: An important member of the Milner Group in the United States and one of the original Rhodes Scholars. He served as American Secretary to the Rhodes trustees since 1918, president of the Association of American Rhodes Scholars since 1930, and a trustee on the Carnegie Foundation since 1922. He was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations for many years.
• William J. Donovan: Trained and coerced by British intelligence agents like William Stevenson (Intrepid), Donovan was instrumental in convincing the US government to participate in World War II and in setting up the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), which later became the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Role in Global Events and Policies 

The CFR, along with its allied organisations, plays a crucial role in directing and implementing global policy:

• Cold War and Containment: The rise of "CFR-ism" (referring to the influence of the Council on Foreign Relations) was significant during the Cold War period, with Wall Street types working in concert with the Dulles family and Rockefellers.During this era, two splits existed within the CFR: a "Dulles wing" and a "globalist convergence with the Soviet Union wing". The Cold War served as a means to transition to a global, bipolar order, with the threat of international communism giving rise to international security through the creation of the UN Security Council for monitoring nuclear weapons.The Truman Doctrine, which involved American economic support for European recovery, was a policy of containment, designed to control nations through financial aid.
• Post-War Order: Decisions made at conferences like Tehran (1942), Yalta, and Potsdam led to the division of the world into spheres of influence, with a large chunk of the globe handed over to the Soviets. The creation of the IMF, World Bank, and UN all emerged from these post-World War II conferences. The UN Security Council was established to oversee Atomic Weapons, based on the narrative that "nukes are everywhere". This period marked the conceptualisation of a "one-world idealism".
• Opposition to Isolationism: The Tehran conference significantly decreed that Americans had to promise never to relapse into isolationism again, emphasising a global world and global security. This stance implies that nationalism and isolationism are considered "inhumane" in a globalised economy, demanding a "global citizen" mentality.
• Economic Manipulation: The "boom-bust cycle" of economies is seen as something that bankers favour and benefit from.The practice of exacting immense debt, exemplified by the reparations imposed on Germany after World War I, is described as a strategy of "economic shock doctrine" designed to weaken and destroy rival nations, keeping them in never-ending debt.This strategy aligns with the IMF shock doctrine, a multi-point banker plan to bring countries back into line or reorganise them into the next phase of a business programme.The European Common Market, for instance, was planned at Bilderberg in the late 1940s and 1950s, requiring the destruction of Germany to be put in place.
• Political Engineering: The British elites, including the Cecil family, Balfour, Salisbury, Lord Milner, and the Astors, are seen as controlling both the Conservative and Labour parties, forming an inner circle of initiates who run the British government and legal system through institutions like the Inns of Court.These elites also set up international organisations like the G8 and G20. The pursuit of "democracy" by the West is a scam - a cloak for oligarchs, motivating masses to buy into a fabricated idea. This aligns with Plato's observation that democracy can be a cover for financial oligarchy, a reality evident in Britain.

Conclusion 

The Council on Foreign Relations operates as a key component of a transnational Anglo-American establishment, working to guide global policies, finance, and political structures towards a centralised, technocratic, and interconnected world order, often under the guise of promoting democracy and international security.
