The Real Power Behind The Throne
Here’s an eye-opening account of an elitist group that is at the very heart of the Eastern Establishment. You might say that the Council on Foreign Relations is the Establishment’s unofficial club and you would be correct. This is the true power behind the throne. Author James Perloff closely examines this distinct group and explains its role in his masterpiece — The Shadows of Power: The Council on Foreign Relations and the American Decline
Perloff offers some great information for those that are willing to take the effort. The Establishment isn’t just some hippie term that was idealized in the sixties. It’s a close-knit group of highly influential people who wield the real power, no matter who is in charge of the White House. Collectively, it’s formed out of the power elite: the international bankers, corporate CEO’s, high ranking government officials and trainees, famous media talking heads, and a variety of other important people that dominate the wheels of society.
Founded in 1921, headquartered at 58 East 68th Street in New York City, the CFR is more than just a club. Some have even called it a ‘legitimate Mafi’. America’s policies are usually linked to this unique group and the deceived public is mostly unaware of its existence. The Council on Foreign Relations publishes a bi-monthly journal called Foreign Affairs.
Near the intro we find some cold hard facts that provide an outline. “Essential to controlling a government is the establishment of a central bank with a monopoly on the country’s supply of money and credit.” Paul Warburg meets Senator Aldrich, the Jekyll Island Club assembles in 1910, and the Federal Reserve Act is shaped in 1913.
On July 29, 1921, the CFR became incorporated. The author acknowledges that the club is a front organization for the Morgan and Rockefeller types of the world. After all, David Rockefeller was chairman from 1970 to 1985. David was one of the most powerful figures of the 20th century and his constituents share the same frame of mind. They desire power to the extreme.
The book reiterates a theme of a strange partnership between Wall Street and the Kremlin.
Many observers might be surprised to know that the Cold War represented only one side of Soviet Union–United States relations. Although the author isn’t the first one to point this out, the relationship between the U.S. and Russia has been very different than the media has portrayed. The complex relationship between the the two superpowers has been held in secrecy with the western media. This is another edition of histories mysteries.
Historical suppression is an enormous deficiency in the western civilization. In the not so distant past, Americans misunderstood the depravity of the infamous Media Blackout. The elite groups have cunningly created an Establishment media, thereby eliminating an independent press in America. If one doesn’t dig really dip below the rocks, one will not recover the truths that lie beneath the mud. This is very dangerous for a democratic society.
It’s no coincidence that the media are completely owned by the Establishment itself. The owners of media are CFR members as well. If you look closely behind the scenes, you’ll find out that a number of the media belong to the CFR. As one might imagine, there is a strong prejudice in the media, not to mention a considerable deal of selectivity concerning foreign affairs.
The author states the end result: “Disproportionate news reporting gives Americans a distorted world view.” Oh my, how they’ve done a brilliant job hiding the news! Astonishing indeed!
If the distinguishing forces behind the Council on Foreign Relations are international bankers and legislation is theoretically invented before entering the halls of Congress, the influence exerted is potentially endemic to free societies. Opposition against the club can immediately be discredited. Careers and lives can be destroyed at will.
Agendas such as a one world government are thoroughly embraced by the CFR and how could anyone deny this threat to the sovereignty of the United States? The CFR point of view is congruent with globalism and it would be hard to make an argument advocating otherwise.
The far-reaching aim of financial control is central to the monopolization of oligarchies, where total control is desired by a small number of wealthy people. Corporate oligarchies make use of educational institutions like the CFR and therein lies considerable influence over elected officials.
The Shadows Of Power is a unique classic that highlights important events that have mostly gone unreported by the mainstream media. James Perloff offers a very rare perspective of the ‘other side’ of history, so rare in fact, that the view is breathtaking. The power behind the throne is nearly invisible, however, we get a glimpse of the ambiance that surrounds the most influential organization in America, the Council on Foreign Relations.
James Perloff wastes no time plunging into facts that totally reshape the perception of American history. Students, please temporarily discard your ‘censored’ version of state sponsored history, and take a moment to read this ‘uncensored’ version of reality. The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is more than just a club. It’s the most important think tank in the United States.
The Establishment has created an invisible government and the CFR is the heart of the club. Perloff gives the background, beginning, and provides numerous examples of this extremely influential organization. The true power lies behind the throne in the shadows. Perloff presents a unique perspective of events that happened in the 20th century and were not honestly analyzed by the press. If the Establishment is elusive in its identity, it certainly has a perceptible face in the CFR, and that is what the author has centered on.
