Who wants to be viewed as being overly national or patriotic, when the trend is to be more international? The national side of me wants to look at the Brookings Institution, while the more intellectual side of me wants to feel international and look at the Chatham House. Magic mirror in my hand, who is the fairest in the land?
After contemplating over the several thousand think tanks available, I’ve narrowed it down to these two. I think I’ll go with Chatham House. This seems to be the exclusive club.
According to Wikipedia: “In the University of Pennsylvania’s 2013 Global Go To Think Tanks Report, Chatham House is ranked the second most influential think tank in the world after the Brookings Institution, and the world’s most influential non-US think tank.”
I’m flattered by this report but I still think my favorite is going to be the Chatham House. Here’s why I think it’s the most favorable for an average guy like me: “Although it has been alleged that Chatham House reflects a pro-establishment view of the world (due to donations from large corporations, governments and other organizations), Chatham House is nevertheless membership-based and anyone may join.”
You see, anyone can join! I’m in!
The major media outlets, including The New York Times, BBC News, The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Wall Street Journal, and the Financial Times, often cite important events. So this think tank must be relevant.
I realize there are rings within rings and layers upon layers of organizations. I don’t quite consider the movement to be New World Order, because these fine clubs have been around since Babylon!
Nevertheless, for those close-minded conspiracy theorists that believe that secret societies exist, I suppose that a measure of paranoia is healthy for an open society.
Who is this Dr. John Coleman anyhow? Who and what is The Committee of 300?
Dr. John Coleman (1994)
“The federal government, the secret upper level parallel government that runs the United States, does not want you to know that you have an upper level parallel government that calls the shots, that dictates what is going to happen to your life and mine.”
“Their goals are a one world government, latterly called The New World Order.”
“Every (United States) Secretary of State that has been appointed since 1919, is appointed by the Royal Institute of International Affairs.”
“Thirteen of the top families in the United States are in the illuminati today and they have a big say on everything that happens politically in this country.”
“Their (RIIA) strongest arm is the Club of Rome.”
“The middle class has to be destroyed.”
