“The increase represents the biggest leap ever seen in a single year. Moreover, the report said the situation was likely to worsen still further.
Globally, one in every 122 humans is now either a refugee, internally displaced, or seeking asylum. If this were the population of a country, it would be the world's 24th biggest.

“For those not familiar with the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model of privatizing government functions through corporations, you should be very afraid. For when this form of partnership happens, the government hands over the operation and supervision of government functions and infrastructure to private and publicly traded corporations like General Electric, Monsanto, JP Morgan Chase, and other less than desirable corporate entities. These lease agreements and multi-decade contracts take the government out of government, allowing companies like CORE to sweep in and… well – “Re-imagine” the education of your children.-- Clint RichardsonAccording to Clint Richardson, best known for his work exposing the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report's or “CAFR”, CORE Education and Technologies Ltd, is a for-profit corporation (see their annual financial report for 2012 here) based out of India that sells an outcome based education model that tracks children for the purpose of creating a “master” plan for a global workforce, which according to the state of Illinois -- the most advanced data system at this time, supposedly mirrored at the federal level -- is defined as:
“The term workforce is defined as consisting of the workers engaged in a specific activity, business or industry or the number of workers who are available to be assigned to any purpose as in a nation’s workforce.In other words, as Richardson states, "CORE is a global network of for-profit corporations literally taking over the entire structure of education." This is the business of human capital management, and as Richardson states again, “human capital” means humans as trade-able and disposable commodities. In other words… SLAVES!" CC, which is not law-- not an act of Congress-- is an untested and unproven system that usurps local control, a hallmark of the U.S. education system, to a “one size fits all” solution imposed by elitist bureaucrats who are only interested in creating a global workforce of industry ready workers
The public workforce system is a network of federal, state, and local offices that function to support economic expansion and facilitate the development United States workforce. The system is designed to create partnership with employers, educators, and community leaders in order to foster economic development and high-growth opportunities in regional economies so that businesses find qualified workers to meet their present and future workforce needs.
“Why did 45 states agree to do this? Because the Obama administration had $4.35 billion of Race to the Top federal funds, and states had to adopt "college-and-career ready standards" if they wanted to be eligible to compete for those funds. Some states, like Massachusetts, dropped their own well-tested and successful standards and replaced them with the Common Core, in order to win millions in new federal funds."Keep in mind, under CC, things like cursive hand-writing will no longer be taught. Why? Well, kids no longer need it, right? After all, they text, send emails, etc. But what about reading historical documents from early America? Or letters written prior to email? Since much of history is written in cursive the inability to read it will sever future Americans from the ability to check their own history. Also, the plan is to replace classical literature with “informational text” approved by the Common Core State Standards, something that's already taking place in public high school libraries across the nation.
“Suggested non-fiction texts include Recommended Levels of Insulation by the the US Environmental Protection Agency, and the Invasive Plant Inventory, by California's Invasive Plant Council.However, all is not lost. Although CC does not have a required reading list, it does have a recommended reading list. Here's one example of what is on its list of exemplar texts for 11th graders: The Bluest Eye
The new educational standards have the backing of the influential National Governors' Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers, and are being part-funded by a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation."
“He further limited his interests to little girls. They were usually manageable . . . His sexuality was anything but lewd; his patronage of little girls smacked of innocence and was associated in his mind with cleanliness.” And later, this same pedophile notes, “I work only through the Lord. He sometimes uses me to help people.” p. 174I guess "Bluest Eye" falls in line with CC's National Sexuality Education Standards , therefore, would be considered "informational text". Yep, parents will no longer have the right to decide what is developmentally and age appropriate for their individual child.
“The little girls are the only things I’ll miss. Do you know that when I touched their sturdy little t*** and bit them—just a little—I felt I was being friendly?—If I’d been hurting them, would they have come back? . . . they’d eat ice cream with their legs open while I played with them. It was like a party.” - p. 181
“Students need opportunities to engage in cooperative and active learning strategies, and sufficient time must be allocated for students to practice skills relating to sexuality education." - National Sexuality Education Standards, p. 9and this...
“Students need multiple opportunities and a variety of assessment strategies to determine their achievement of the sexuality education standards and performance.If that's not bad enough, CC gives schools and third parties unprecedented access to student's personal information. Every child will have a data set that follows that child into the workforce. This data will be merged with the Departments of Labor, Health and any other third party organizations or research firms that the Department of Education thinks needs your child’s data. The sets include such things as hair color, eye color, gestational age at birth (whether a child was premature or not), blood type, blood test results, birth marks, and even bus stop arrival time.
“This “human capital development data system” must be developed to answer “master” policy questions that benefit each of the principal state stakeholders – the K-12 education system, the post-secondary system, and labor/workforce development system….Welcome to the new Common Core fuzzy math.
This “human capital development data system” must be developed to answer “master” policy questions that benefit each of the principal state stakeholders – the K-12 education system, the post-secondary system, and labor/workforce development system…"
Outsourcing the match (the actual task of linking the student unit records together) to a state with a proven capacity to do so….Advantages and disadvantages of this approach…the additional disadvantage that the states, other than the state to which the match was outsourced, give up direct control of their data to a “foreign” state government entity. (Page 16)
A multi-state data exchange – what we have chosen to call a human capital development data system – that enables policymakers to look comprehensively at the stock and flow of human capital has become essential for effective policymaking and planning in the globalized
knowledge economy. Technology now permits the development of longitudinal systems that follow individual students from elementary school through college or directly into the workforce,...(Page 17)
While the Pacific Ocean boils, and the biggest global health emergency in the 21st century continues, why is the news saturated with the possibility that Assad used chemical weapons, and with the war plan for American allied strikes against Syria? Especially considering our long history of using chemical weapons on civilians. Keep in mind, there is no hard evidence to support this possibility.
What about Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, a world changing event? According to nuclear energy expert, Scott Portzline, who has kept watch on security issues at Three Mile Island for 25 years, at least three meltdowns-- where the core has melted through the reactor--have occurred at Fukushima.
400 tons of water-- which is weakening the foundation of the buildings to the point of collapse--is injected daily to keep the melted fuel cores cool, meanwhile 300 tons of that contaminated radioactive water, which contains 3x the cesium released by Chernobyl, leaks out into the Pacific Ocean.
Cesium-137, a radioactive isotope of cesium, comes from the fuel rods and is the most abundant leftover from a nuclear meltdown. It has a 30-year half life, which means in 30 years, it's power will be half of what is today. It lasts 180-300 years. Caesium-137, and Caesium-134, chemically similar to potassium (K), is completely water soluble and is a macro-nutrient, which means it's absorbed by the smallest creatures in the ocean first, and as it moves up the food chain, becomes increasingly concentrated. In other words, radiation bio-accumulates particularly in meat, dairy and seafood, grown and harvested in radiation contaminated areas. Ingested radiation from contaminated food radiates body cells with high doses of radiation for very long periods of time. Children, the elderly, pregnant women and the immune compromised are far more sensitive to the effects of radiation.
Every Bluefin tuna tested in California waters was contaminated with Fukushima radiation according to the Wall Street Journal and CNN. Because governments have deceived the public about food safety radiation levels worldwide, the Food Lab tests for radioactiver contamination in food and the environment, globally. Recently, Congress requested hearings on new developments at Fukushima plant regarding how the radioactive pollution in Pacific Ocean will affect U.S.
“We found that absolutely every one of them [Bluefin tuna] had comparable concentrations of cesium-134 and cesium-137." -- Marine Biologist Nicholas Fisher, Wall Street Journal

The Louisiana Assumption Parish Bayou Corne sinkhole is truly unprecedented globally, according to geologists. It is a living breathing thing that broke the record for breaching and compromising a salt dome to the largest extent know in history, and the 3400 foot deep cavern that caused it is still collapsing. Moreover, this now 15 acre sinkhole is leaking methane gases and crude as it continues to bubble in the bayou. 350 individuals were/are under a mandatory evacuation order, as this monster sinkhole shows no signs of receding. These effected residents began receiving weekly checks in the amount of $875, and now Texas Brine is supposedly preparing to offer settlements to the evacuated residents.,
So, how does an historical event like this escape national media coverage? Better yet, why does the national media ignore this event? Could it be that Texas Brine, an Oil Field Service Company, which provides a broad range of service including Waste Water(Brine) disposal to all major drillers including Halliburton who serves BP, and who once mined this salt cavern, and owns the salt dome, does not want the publicity? Because this was no natural disaster; it was the consequence of mining activities conducted by Texas Brine. It's a well known fact that the media and the authorities have been bought out by the corporations. Take the BP Oil Spill. Facts are still hidden including the oil that has been "cleaned" with lethal Corexit, not to mention, the people suffering from its effects, some, or even many of whom have not survived.
“Bubbles were spotted in Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou in June 2012. Two months later, the ground opened up and left a nine-acre sinkhole. Residents were evacuated and have been for the past seven months. Most affected residents began receiving weekly checks from Texas-Brine in the amount of $875 per week.“$2 million sinkhole in Washington DC:

Empires are built on crushed armies, destroyed cities, incinerated crops, slaughtered herds, raped women, enslaved prisoners of war, oppressively over-taxed population, and even genocide. To the contrary of what we've been told, the American empire also rose out of these ashes. But ours is more of a neo-empire, built on neo-imperialism and/or neo-colonialism, which, allows for the husk or shell of independence--the illusion of independence--but takes the substance-- control over that nation's industry, imports and exports and relationships with other nations. We allow conquered countries to fly their own flag, use their own currency, speak their own language, on the condition that our military can enter at any time to do whatever we want.
The empire builders of today tell us "we’re" fighting for the security and survival of our nation. They tell us "we’re" fighting for democracy...to spread democracy. They tell us "we’re" fighting for humanitarian reasons. They tell us "we're" fighting to oppose dictators that we put in power. If this is true, then why, the larger the military industrial complex gets, and the larger the security industrial complex gets, are we, the people finding ourselves increasingly less secure, less free, less humanitarian, not to mention, exceedingly falling under the absolute or supreme power of government? And why, since the implementation of the Patriot Act I and II, the NDAA, super-advanced technology, unprecedented military power, more than 1,000 global military bases, not to mention trillion-dollar undeclared "wars", not to mention, our domestic wars: "war on terror", "war on drugs" etc., do they continue to tell us the world is even more dangerous than ever? The bottom line is there is only one beneficiary of empire, and it's not us as the following chart clearly demonstrates.

"...we’re going to attack and destroy the governments in 7 countries in five years – we’re going to start with Iraq, and then we’re going to move to Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Iran.” -- Gen. Wesley Clark
“The Romans have constantly had the same cause, a cause for making war upon all nations, peoples and kings. The insatiable desire for empire and wealth.” -- King Mithridates, one of the Roman Republic’s most formidable and successful enemies, who engaged three of the prominent generals from the late Roman Republic in the Mithridatic Wars
“You find in the Romans an arrogance which no reasonable submission can elude. Briggons of the world, they have exhausted the land by their indiscriminate plunder. They create a desolation and call it peace. Our goods and money are consumed by taxation. Our land is stripped of its harvest to fill their granaries.” -- Chief Calgacus, chieftain of the Caledonian Confederacy (present day Scotland) who fought the Roman army of Gnaeus Julius Agricola at the Battle of Mons Graupius in northern Scotland in AD 83 or 84.

"The guiding and influencing of [Vice President] Wallace that John Carter Vincent [Chief of the State Department's Division of Chinese Affairs] acknowledged included the following:Now, the U.S. Congress voted $125 million to be sent to Chiang Kai-shek but the ships were kept in the harbor in San Francisco for months. Finally, when the weapons arrived in China, there was no ammunition to be found, therefore, utterly useless. Without weapons, Chiang Kai-shek and his large army was defeated by a small well-armed communist army in 1949. This is backed up by the 1952 McCarran Committee's report on the Institute for Pacific Relations (IPR) .
(1) He steered the conversations between Chiang and Wallace during the mission toward a settlement between Chiang and the Communists;
(2) he had Wallace emphasize the desire of the United States that Chiang make peace with the Communists;
(3) when Madame Chiang Kai-shek proposed during the conversation that there be a North Pacific Conference, Vincent directed the conversation toward an insistence by Wallace that China and the U.S.S.R. settle first (p.2062);
(4) Vincent conceded he urged Wallace to press that the United States would not aid Chiang until he made his peace with the Soviet Union (pp. 2065-2066);
(5) Vincent kept bringing the conversation back to the question of the United States sending a representative to Communist territory in Yenan, and finally extracted a promise from Chiang that one would be sent (pp. 2060-2061);
(6) when Chiang, recognizing the prestige such an act would give the Communists, argued against it (p.2051), Vincent urged Wallace to stress that the United States was not interested in Chiang's opposition (p.2052) from the Communists but were interested in the military intelligence such a representative would yield (p. 2055);
(7) Later it was shown that Vincent again steered the conversation so that the promise given by Chiang for the representative to Yenan was really nailed down."
". . . Mr. Hays told us one day that 'the White House' [Eisenhower] had been in touch with him and asked him if be would cooperate to kill the committee."What the record quickly shows is that a considerable portion of the IPR activities operated not to discover, analyze, assemble and publish data (the normal primary concern of scholarship and research), but to influence public opinion. The subcommittee noted throughout all the testimony and all the exhibits that so great a portion of the IPR energies went into public relations, lobbying, propaganda, and other activities, having the primary effect of influencing public opinion that it is not correct or adequate to describe the IPR as a scholarly and research organization. Its chief function was rather that of a crucible of United States public opinion on the Far East.
Rowan Gaither [head of the Ford Foundation]: "Those of us here at the policy-making level have all had experience either with the OSS or the European Econmoic Administration in operating under directives the origins of which is the White House. We today operate under just such directives. Would you like to know what the substance of those directives isOnce one opens their eyes to the truth behind the carefully crafted presentation of the "truth," it takes some time to reflect upon, and deal with this reality: that our subversive public education system and mainstream media is basically a tool to brainwash, condition, and fool us into compliance with the agenda of the ruling class. As Norman Dodd sincerely points out the ruling class has been scheming to consolidate all the power to rule America by corporate monopoly. Why communism? Because collectivism at centralized levels is easy to manipulate toward a tyrannical government. This type of system needs communitarian law, which is based on the "consensus reached by globalist "do-gooders."
Norman Dodd: Yes, Mr. Gaither, I would very much like to know.
Rowan Gaither: The substance of the directives under which we operate is that we shall use our grant-making power so to alter life in the Untied States that we can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union."
Norman Dodd: "Mr. Gaither, in light of what you just told me, many of your grants make sense, but I don't think you're entitled to withhold this information from the people of this country to whom you are beholden for your tax exemptions so why don't you tell them what you just told me?"
Rowan Gaither: "Mr. Dodd, we would not think of doing that"
Norman Dodd: Well, Mr. Gaither, in answer to your first question, you forced the Congress of the U.S. to spend $150,000 to find out what you just told me.
"...explores the history, philosophy, and modern-day implementation of Sustainable Development, Communitarian Law, and Community Policing.The Turning of the Tides
Part-autobiography, part-thesis, and part-guidebook to International Law, this 327-page book introduces Community Law with a mix of personal experiences, field research, and direct quotes from American presidents and international heads of state, domestic and foreign courts, officials, ecclesiastics, gurus, agencies, think tanks, universities and law schools, foundations, conferences, scientific reports, newspapers, and academic journals.
The Roosevelt Neighborhood Plan (Washington) and The Anchorage 2020/Anchorage Bowl Comprehensive Plan (Alaska) are highlighted to show how Local Agenda 21 plans balance individuals, laws, and economic growth. Readers are challenged to consider some of the little-known aspects of Community Economic Development, like mapping and mobilizing human assets, data-mining, innovative militarized policing, mandates for service, global citizenship, the Hegelian Dialectic, and the ancient spiritual foundation for a worldwide, corporate, quasi-religious legal framework.
"Conclusions and Recommendations for the Social Studies", funded by the tax-exempt Carnegie Corporation of New York, published in 1934, is the most important report ever written on the future of American education. All its recommendations and its philosophy are an intrinsic part of education in the United States today. Professor Harold Laski, a philosopher of British socialism, said of this report: "At bottom, and stripped of its carefully neutral phrases, the report is an educational program for a 'Socialist America'. One excerpt from this important report reads "The implications for education are clear and imperative: (a) the efficient functioning of the emerging economy and the full utilization of its potentialities require profound changes in the attitudes and outlook of the American people, especially the rising generation--a complete and frank recognition that the old order is passing, that the new order is emerging, (pp. 34-35).

Increasingly, corporations are gaining more and more access and influence to legislation that the public and even Congress does not have through groups like ALEC and trade agreements such as NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, that merged the United States, Canada, and Mexico creating essentially a north American continent of supposedly, "free" trade. "NAFTA contained 900 pages of one-size-fits-all rules to which each nation was required to conform all of its domestic laws - regardless of whether voters and their democratically-elected representatives had previously rejected the very same policies in Congress, state legislatures or city councils." After NAFTA was signed, two-thirds of Canadian families saw a decline in real income while two million peasant farmers were displaced from their land in Mexico, forcing many into trying to gain entrance into the United States, adding to our already growing immigration problem.
Now, there is "NAFTA on steroids," the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) (see links below), "a legally binding trade agreement for advancing transnational corporate tyranny and dismantling domestic democratic accountability" that is not only the largest “free trade agreement” ever negotiated, but also the most secretly negotiated, with "no public oversight, input, or consultations". Only two of its 26 chapters deal with trade, the rest grant unprecedented powers and privileges upon Trans-National Corporations (TNCs)while dismantling regulations and laws without any democratic oversight or input."
Take the intellectual property chapter alone, which would extend copyright provisions, if enacted into law, from a state/federal jurisdiction to a matter of international agreement, and within that framework, plans on extending endless copyright terms across the globe The U.S. already has the most extensive copyright terms in the world. This is increasingly problematic for today's remix culture, intrinsic to the health of our economy. Not only can one face statutory damages, with preset fines of up to $150,000 per infringement, the criminal section of intellectual property chapter indicates an individual could face actual jail time.if it's proven that they had direct or indirect motivation for financial gain Not to mention, copyright expansion can be used to silence speech as they often do on websites such as Youtube.
In February 2012, powerful content groups such as the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) and the MPAA (Motion Pictures Association of America) met in Beverly Hills along with representatives from nine countries including the United States were secretly meeting in a luxury hotel in Beverly Hills. Public interest groups such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) were shut out, their hotel reservations canceled without their consent. Another public interest group's representatives were kicked out of the hotel.
For example, public interest groups have been warning that the TPP could result in millions of lost jobs. As a letter from Congress to United States Trade Representative Ron Kirk stated, the TPP “will create binding policies on future Congresses in numerous areas,” including “those related to labor, patent and copyright, land use, food, agriculture and product standards, natural resources, the environment, professional licensing, state-owned enterprises and government procurement policies, as well as financial, healthcare, energy, telecommunications and other service sector regulations.”The next round of Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement negotiations will take place from December 3-12 in Auckland, New Zealand, and it will be done with the same level of secrecy as the last 14 rounds in order to grant far-reaching new rights and privileges to the 600 corporations aligned with the TPP at the expense of the tax-paying public. This could affect the health and welfare of billions of people worldwide, so where is the mainstream media?
You can't create wealth out of thin air; therefore it's plain to see that money is not wealth, it's the mechanism used to transfer wealth from we the taxpayers to the ruling class. For instance, when Ben Bernanke prints new money (QE3), who gets first dibs on that money? His wealthy friends, of course. And then, in turn, they lend it out at quadruple the price and/or purchase up all of the finite resources--especially land, farmland, that is. Why? He who controls the food controls the world.
That's right, the global tycoons, especially since the financial crisis in 2008, have been buying up farmland all over the planet at an alarming rate, while subsistence farmers are losing their land and their way of life. They're being priced out of existence as the New World Agricultural Order unfolds.
Meanwhile, the Fed is quietly acquiring massive amounts of property in the US through their purchase of mortgage-backed securities. There are an estimated 1.5 million homes currently in the foreclosure process. Under the current QE3, Bernanke will own those properties once the foreclosure is complete. The point? To create a huge land-grab within the US where the Fed owns massive amounts of land and can leverage this acquisition against the American public as the transition becomes apparent.
Oh, and the Federal Housing Finance Administration (FHFA) recently announced that “strategic defaulters”, i.e. those homeowners who have abandoned their mortgage because they could not afford to make the monthly payments will be jailed for this “crime”.
So what we have here are banks, agencies and government "manipulating" the market toward their own agenda at the expense of we the people. Nothing new here.

Supposedly, these homes are being released in bulk to major conglomerates who have billions of dollars to buy them for pennies on the dollar and fix and sell them or lease them out. The banks are selling in bulk to them with the understanding that they are not to be sold within a certain amount of time
Is the solution to our problems, a machine vision of the world? A self-organizing model, based on an underlying order of nature - that was completely disproved in 1981 - and taken from the cold and logical world of machines, where humans are reduced to mechanistic nodes? Or, has the environmental movement been hijacked by "right winged think tanks" and "cold war technocrats" who were using the balance of nature as a political trick? In other words, is this idea of the "balance of nature", "equilibrium" "web of life" "self-regulating Eco-system" an attempt by the powerful to maintain the status quo?
I think we are; however, I believe it will come without any warning...especially from anyone connected to the IMF.
Dr. Robert Shapiro who advised Presidents Clinton and Obama and who currently advises the IMF predicts a cascading meltdown of the World's banking system starting with Sovereign debt in the Eurozone, affecting the UK then finally bringing down the global banking system.
"If they can not address [the financial crisis] in a credible way I believe within perhaps 2 to 3 weeks we will have a meltdown in sovereign debt which will produce a meltdown across the European banking system. We are not just talking about a relatively small Belgian bank, we are talking about the largest banks in the world, the largest banks in Germany, the largest banks in France, that will spread to the United Kingdom, it will spread everywhere because the global financial system is so interconnected. All those banks are counterparties to every significant bank in the United States, and in Britain, and in Japan, and around the world..."
"There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write you honest opinions, and if you did, you know before hand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalist is to destroy the truth; to lie outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it and what folly is this toasting and independent press! We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intelligent prostitutes." -- John Swinton, former Chief of Staff of the New York Times in 1953In 1917, Rep. Oscar Calloway, in the U.S. Congressional Record, revealed why J.P. Morgan hired 12 high-ranking news managers. Calloway said the reason was, "to determine the most influential newspapers in America. Why? To figure out how many newspapers it would take to "control generally the policy of the daily press of the United States." The twelve found that it was only necessary "to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers".
"The Council of Foreign Relations is the American Branch of a society which originated in England and believes national boundaries should be obliterated and one-world rule established." - Dr. Carroll Quigley, Professor of History at Georgetown UniversityThe CFR is the most visible conduit to carrying out that agenda. CFR members include past Presidents, Ambassadors, Secretaries of State, Wall Street investors, international bankers, foundation executives, think tank executives, lobbyist lawyers, NATO and Pentagon military leaders, wealthy industrialists, journalists, media owners and executives, university presidents and key professors, select Congressmen, Supreme Court Justices, Federal Judges, wealthy entrepreneurs, and as many as ten 9-11 Commission Members.
"The goal of the Council of Foreign Relation is submergence of the U.S. sovereignty and national independence into an all powerful ONE-WORLD government and equally important is the C.F.R influence in our mass media. They control or own most major newspapers, magazines, radio and television networks." -- Admiral Chester Ward
"The most powerful clique in these elitist groups have one objective in common - they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty of the national independence of the United States. A second clique of international members in the CFR comprises the Wall Street international bankers and their key agents. Primarily, they want the world banking monopoly from whatever power ends up in the control of global government." -- -- Admiral Chester Ward
"The ultimate aim of the CFR is to create a one-world socialist system and make the U.S. an official part of it." -- Dan Smoot, a former member of the FBI Headquarters staff in Washington, D.C.
"The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values." -- CFR member Zbigniew Breninski (National Security Advisor to President Carter)
"The Rockefeller's are the epitome of the nations permanent establishment: Governments change, economics fluctuate, foreign alliances shift - The Rockefeller's prevail." -- Walter Conkrite
"The CFR dedicated to one-world government, financed by a number of the largest tax-exempt foundations, and wielding such power and influence over our lives in the areas of finance, business, labor, military, education and mass communication media should be familiar to every American concerned with good government and with preserving and defending the U.S. Constitution and our free enterprise system. Yet, the nation's right-to-know machinery, and the news media, usually so aggressive in exposures to inform our people, remain conspicuously silent when it comes to the CFR, its members and their activities. The CFR is the establishment. Not only does it have influence and power in key decision making positions at the highest levels of government to apply pressure from above, but it also finances and uses individuals and groups to bring pressure from below, to justify the high level decisions for converting the U.S. from a sovereign Constitutional Republic into a servile member of a one-world dictatorship." -- Congressman John Rarick
"The Secret Team is a group of men who can orchestrate the activities of the United States government. They are from industry, big business, the military, big banks and big lawyers . . . They manipulate the government policy." -- Col. Fletcher Prouty, Liaison Officer between the Pentagon and the CIA
"Our job is to give people not what they want, but what WE decide they ought to have." -- Richard Cohan, former President of CBS News
