Never interfere with a party in the process of destroying itself. In 2021 the Democrats, even with favorable press, did not need an opposition party to accomplice this. We note some examples.
Abandoning Americans in Afghanistan to the Taliban destroyed the world’s confidence in America’s historic promise that they could count on America to help shield them from tyrannical governments. Moreover, Americans who travel broadly knew that it could have been them caught and abandoned behind enemy lines by their own government. Leaving behind, so callously, Afghans who had shed blood with and for us for twenty years, did not set well with most Americans. Getting out of Afghanistan and the war had support but not the cowardly way we did, leaving $90 billion of weaponry in enemy hands. The military know that they may have to face the weapons this administration so incompetently left behind.
Most Americans do not approve of Biden’s handling of the Southern border crisis either. Kamala Harris, whom Biden called on to bale out his unpopular opening of the United States to the world and every criminal in it, only amplified the image that Democrats did not care about Americans living here. By Oct. 25, 2021 the administrations’ approval rating had fallen to 36%.
The Democrats answer to the COVID “Pandemic” was always medical tyranny. You may have your freedom: when: everyone is locked down for months, when everyone is forced to wear a mask, then two masks, when all distance six feet from others, when all get a mandated (forced) experimental “vaccine,” and when vaccines don’t work, then mandated boosters every four months. Even now California and Washington D.C. have returned to mandatory masking. This when they could not document that ANY OF THESE MEASURES SAVED A SINGLE LIFE but were instead destroying businesses, the economy, education, the Constitution and freedom.
Too few Democrats recognized the threat to freedom so they accelerated its loss. Their news still censors the fact that more people died with COVID during 2021 under Biden leadership, than 2020 under Trump. And, Free states had less COVID infection and death than non-free states. Even now, New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is condemning Florida for not locking down its people while she is filmed enjoying its beaches and freedom without a mask.
With censorship protecting tyranny, fans at sporting events began spontaneously erupting into chants, “F Joe Bidden, F Joe Biden,” demonstrating their utter contempt for the man and his party. Such a chant had never been used by crowds in American history. By this time 61% of Americans believed that the country had seriously gotten off on the wrong track. Asked if the above expletive chant was appropriate 59% said that it was (X22 Reports, Ep. 2112B, Oct. 27, 2021). This, while the Democrat news outlets and Big Tech praised Biden and censored opposing information of him and their party.
The expletive chant was soon changed by the unappreciating controlling press to “Lets Go Brandon,” weakening the power of the original vile meaning, although still derogatory. President Trump said he liked the original one better; likely those first uttering it do as well.
Meanwhile a “We Love Trump” chant spontaneously erupted in the Virginal governor’s race between former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe and Republican Glenn Yongkin (X22 Reports, Ep. 2612B—October 27, 2021). The same chant had erupted at least three times while Trump was on the campaign trail in 2020 (“‘We Love You,’ Chant Breaks Out at Trump Rallies,” LibertyUnderFire, September 25, 2020). Obviously such extreme polar opposite chants “F Joe Biden” or “We love you” were unlikely ever previously used by large crowds in U.S. history.
Under Biden every American, rich or poor, lost nearly 10% of his money.
A November Rasmunson Report, published by USA Today, asked poll takers, “What is the one thing you want Biden to do this year? The popular answer, “Resign.”(X22 Reports, Ep. 2623B, Nov. 9, 2021). A month later a national poll reported that only 22% of Americans wanted Biden to run again (X22 Reports, Ep. 26455, Dec 6, 2021).
By this time U.S. productivity declined by 5.2% in the 3d Quarter—the largest quarterly drop in 61 years” (X22 Reports, Ep. 2649A, Dec. 10. 2021). This while the US. Consumer price inflation jumped to 9.6% over the previous November—the largest one year increase ever. Consequently consumer prices soured: gasoline 58%, Rental cars 37%, used cars 31%, hotels 26%, steak 25%, utilities 25%, bacon 21%, pork 17%, furniture 12%, fish 11%, new cars 11%, chicken 9%, bikes 9%, eggs 8%, coffee 7.5%, apples 7%, milk 7%, flour 6%, rent 3.5%. Under Trump 2018 inflation was 2.2% and 2019 was 2.5% ((X22 Reports, Ep. 2652A, Dec 14, 2021).
Under Biden every American, rich or poor, lost almost 10% of the value of all his money the last eleven months. If Trump had done this to the American people there would be 24/7 coverage of it. Because there isn’t you know the media is complacent in it,
Paper currency is losing value before we can spend it. Since 1913 the value of the dollar has declined 96% (X22 Reports, Ep.2649A, Dec. 10, 2021). In fairness this is due to both political parties, neither able to say no to debt ceilings and selling their votes. “Seventy seven percent say inflation is America’s biggest problem, a bigger problem than COVID; of these 57% blame Biden” (X22 Reports, Ep.2650A, Dec. 12, 2021). This after but one year in office.
By the end of 2021 The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll showed that only “40% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Biden’s job performance. Fifty-eight percent (58%) disapprove. The latest figures include 19% who Strongly Approve of the job Biden is doing and 48% who Strongly Disapprove.”
Again, “Never interfere with a party in the process of destroying itself.” Trump Republicans aren’t. The day will come when no Democrat will readily admit having once been one.

In a controlled media environment things may be just opposite as portrayed. Thus, a news story breaks with compelling evidence, complete with video and photos of criminal behavior by Deep State federal agents, is silenced by Deep State media outlets. Such are the revelations of Revolver News, December 18, 2021.
Revolver exposes a “massive web of unindicted operators at the heart of January 6.” It consists of a “bear trap” to bait and entice Trump supporters into the Capitol planned primarily by FBI agents days before. Any serious investigator of the January 5 and 6 events would find this previously unpublicized evidence a gold mine. However the Commission, established to investigate the Capitol breach, blocks the public from seeing this treasure trove by ignoring it. Now it has come to light.
Key to the Deep States’ preplanned “bear trap” to destroy Trump and his supporters was Ray Epps from the Phoenix, AZ. FBI office. All other Deep State insurrection actives appear to be coordinated with/through him (See Revolver’s October 25, 2021 blockbuster investigative report on Ray Epps). He had “announced multiple times, at multiple locations, his upcoming plot to breach the US Capitol.”
On January 6, he “parked himself at the entrance to the Washington Monument at 10:24 A.M.. This was the site where “thousands of Trump supporters were making their way early in the morning to get coveted lawn positions to hear their President speak” scheduled two hours later. But he was not interested in attending. His motive was to tell the thousands passing by, “The Capitol is in that direction” and “We need your help!” This so, after the speech, they would not take any route to it other than the one he and his unindicted “fedsurrectionists” would lay out.
Epps then left for the Capital to join his associates “to set up the booby trap by pushing back the police, then hauling away the ‘restricted area’ signage, the chain fencing, and the metal barricades—all while tens of thousands were still at the Trump rally. Without police present or ‘do not enter’ signs prominently visible, people leaving Trump’s speech and arriving at the Capitol entrance would have no idea it was illegal to walk through the gate, or onto the lawn, or up to the Capitol steps. After all, this entire area is ordinarily open to the public. Instead, they…saw the main walkway to the Capitol grounds wide open. These unwitting Trump supporters had no idea they had just crossed an invisible tripwire that would later subject them to federal prosecution for trespassing.” Entrapment!!!
Everything was well coordinated. To reduce Capital police effectiveness and numbers in dealing with the planned siege “just one minute before,” they were required to respond to two bogus pipe bomb threats, one at DNC the other GOP headquarters.
“Epps was seen leading key people and managing key aspects of the initial breach of the Capitol grounds himself.” Revolver provides clips of him “actively orchestrate elements of the very first breach of the Capitol barricades at 12:50 p.m, while Trump still had 20 minutes left in his rally speech.
Government agents, especially the FBI, never act alone. Revolver “mapped out Ray Epps’s network of interactions” on January 6, profiling “five of the most egregious cases.” —the “key people around him who complemented his efforts” turning “the rally into a riot.” None have been indicted. Video coverage show them performing their crimes and Revolver gives them pseudo names associated with their insurrectionist activities.
FenceCutterBulwark listed as FBI “Most Wanted” Suspect # 342. Multiple pictures of him “rolling up restricted area fencing preparing the booby trap” noted above. The Proud Boys’ were blamed for starting the breach, but in truth Epps and FenceCuttterBulwark were there before.
NWScaffoldCommander dubbed “the ringleader” of the breach, “Closely directs and incites crowd with bullhorn on top of scaffold… the perfect command post as everyone could see it. For nearly 90 minutes straight, he bombards the otherwise leaderless crowd below him with endless variations on a single instruction: Don’t just stand there. Keep moving forward!” Once people were in the building he blared , “Okay we’re in! We’re in! Come on! We gotta fill up the Capitol!. Come on! Come now! We need help! We gotta fill up the Capitol!. They got in.” For “new arrivals his voice was the first and loudest voice they heard.” Ray Epps and ScaffoldCommander were coordinating the front line against the police—the two most visible leaders of the insurrection, yet neither have been indicted, nor even charged.
BlackSkiMask went into action dumping the “police barricades over the side of the walkway wall. This clean removal process will create the impression to the 15,000 people already walking from the Trump speech that no police barricades were ever there in the first place.” But the day before January 5, he was involved in another crime in front of the U.S. Justice Department, then released to participate in the activities of January 6. “The FBI knows exactly who BlackSkiMask is already and for some reason, they’re still not prosecuting him.”
BeCivilGuy, named because he repeatedly “employed the crowd to ‘Be Civil.’” No one was yet on the walkway and nothing had been breached. He was the first insurrectionist to illegally invade the Capitol grounds. Was he brave, insane or “just an undercover Fed with foreknowledge,” asks Revolver? But he was not trying to stop people going to and in the Capitol.
These five insurrectionists: Ray Epps, FenceCutterBulwark, NWScaffoldCommander, BlackSkiMask, and BeCivilGuy worked as a skillful and polished team to push Trump people to and into the Capitol. They all participated in setting up a booby trap to incarcerate Trump supporters. None attended the Trump speech so Trump loyalty is doubtful. These were the most visible leaders of the insurrection. One was a known and established FBI agent. At least three were on the FBI most wanted list. All committed crimes that day superior to the hundreds subsequently incarcerated for participation, but none were ever incarcerated or indicted. They remain unindicted. Why? Because all were part of the Deep State Fed-surrection which protects its own.

When do we finally get back to normal? Recently we published half of an interview answering that question. “The Pandemic Will End When the Digital Monetary System is in Place,” an interview between independent financial investor, Melissa Cuimmel and host Sara Haboubi of Ryland Media, an Ireland media outlet. The answer, COVID is the main instrument for implementing the Great Reset—world government—but they must keep the threat alive until it, and you, are locked in (See “The Pandemic Ends When the Enslaving Reset is Locked In,” www.LibertyUnderFire.org).
We concluded that the globalists’ plans for world government have proceeded on schedule for decades. Now that probably most adults have been inoculated only two targets remain: small business must be destroyed, and the children have to be inoculated—thus brought into the system. We end this column with what Cuimmel concluded is the only way out of both the pandemic and world government.
Small business must be destroyed, Cuimmel says, because it is necessary “for the new system to come into place.” This “because they need you to be dependent on the state, the social credit card” and small businesses represent independence. To survive, small businesses traditionally have to think of new and better ways of doing things. Communism, which is the new system, cannot tolerate deviance or challenges to the way things are done.
The pandemic lockdowns already destroyed thousands of middle class businesses, and thousands more will follow with the government dictating the customer base by excluding the unvaccinated—a sizable reduction of potential customers. Government fines for non compliance to mask wearing, mandates and vaccinations also impacts negatively the profit margin. With the Biden Administration paying labor more than they could earn working, this also drives shortages of manpower to produce things resulting in product shortages and business closures. Knowing that they are targeted for extinction, Cuimmel recommends, small businesses increase the odds of their survivability by collective non-compliance now while they still can.
Meanwhile, Cuimmel says, “you have these billionaires trying to take over control of the people and all of the wealth. That’s what’s happening right now. Like, while we’re sitting at home there’s a wealth heist going on. Everything is being bought up around us. And meanwhile, what we [the people] have is being inflated away.” Simply put,“They’re interested in control, and wealth. That’s all they’re interested in. They don’t care about anybody else on the planet, they do not care about the planet. They care about wealth and control.”
“This is coming for everybody,”she adds. Right now you can go to restaurants because your “participation” passport is green. It’s only “a matter of time before everybody’s passport turns from green to red for various different reasons,” —you did not get the latest booster, you spoke out against a mandate,— “anything, in order to participate in society. The new normal is a tangible changing of the goalposts so you will never be fully in. It is like the constant updates that you get in a computer—you’re never completely updated—same with your phone.”
“There is no going back to the old world. This is the new world that we’re going to be living in if they succeed.” The billionaire and technology companies are waging war against us. “Australia knows it. New Zealand knows it. Austria knows it. They’re all out on the streets. We absolutely are at war. In a war situation there is collateral damage. That’s where we are standing with these injuries and deaths from this clinical trial…. that information has been completely censored because it’s essential to get us all on board; as I say no exception.”
She spoke directly to parents, “They’re going for your children now. That’s the final demographic.” Children still need to be part of the financial system. They also need the data from the children. “I don’t know why anybody would let their child take part in this clinical trial. They have virtually no risk. There’s more risk of them drowning.” There is no peer reviewed research proving the vaccines are even safe. “They have to get them into the system so that your children can participate in society,” the same reason most adults were enticed. “They’re saying that if they want to go to teen discos,” participate in society, they must be vaccinated.
Cuimmel advised parents to look at their “children and think my job is to protect you.” She pleads, “Do not let your children participate in this passport system. Know that if you do for the sake of going to a restaurant that you are leading them into a social credit system and slavery.”
To all, vaccinated and unvaccinated, “These billionaires and technology companies are dictating the future of humanity.” We need to stand up, “All we have to do is say no. That’s all we have to do just mass non compliance.” But “we are running out of time.” The “solution to this is mass non compliance” on masks, lockdowns, untested vaccines (especially for children), mandates, participation passports, the Central Bank digital ID, and social and carbon credit systems.
“This is going to be won by communities. So find people that are like minded, that’s going to keep your confidence up. Do not give in and do not give up…. If we don’t fight this now, we are giving our children twice the battle. It has to be fought now. The quicker that we do this, the easier it is to get out.” So find your communities, and support network.
Remember, God will help because we are his children. Cuimmel reminds us, “We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”

Those wishing to destroy or remove Christ from Christmas prefer “Winter Break” or “Happy Holidays;” the same is true of “Easter Break” to “Spring Break.” This language reduces the connection to Christ, the reason for both. Proponents argue that this terminology is advanced so as not to offend non-believers who sometimes choose to be offended but it offends those of us who are believers.
The songs of the birth of Christ blanket the earth resulting in more love, more giving, more kindness, more caring and sharing, more thought for others, indeed more of everything that is good. Why would anyone wish to remove this influence? Non-believers might say that society could have all this without Christ. Really!!— As evidenced by the other eleven months??? I do not think so!! Christmas has an unexplained magic to it unlike any other time of the year.
I first noticed the unusual effects of Christ at Christmas as a13-year-old boy milking my neighbor’s cow while he was away. The experience was repeated on the following days also. It was a mostly opened shed, very cold at six a.m. in the morning with icy patches of unmelted snow still on the ground. The sky was lit with a thousand stars demonstrating the immensity of space and of the enormous domain of God. I was happy for no identifiable reason. This was the key—happy for no identifiable reason. And songs of the birth, especially “Silent Night,” played in my mind as I squeezed out the milk from the cow into an open bucket below. I felt all the virtues identified above seemingly all at once and I knew that this season and this little baby was much more than just special. He had to be God. I felt so warmed. I now, as an old man, am long passed just believing, I know He is God.
Others feel this warmth too as it is so plentifully spread over the earth as though by angels spreading angel dust. Santa is a nice guy, mostly for children, but made-up. Christ is not. Non-believers have to notice this unexplained special feeling or choose to deny it. Also easily noticed is that this special warm feeling is pretty much gone by New Year’s Day.
It is okay not to know as I know. I respect the holidays and sacred days of others but I do DEMAND my own. Of all the founders of other religions and faiths, some of which may have been impressive, none was born in a lowlier place—in a manger where cows fed—because his parents, though with child, lacked the distinction to merit something better. None was introduced into the world by a heavenly choir sung to lowly shepherds who were the first invitees to the birth of this king, possibly the only time that happened in history.
No other religious founder could read the unexpressed thoughts of others. None fed thousands with a few fish or loaves of bread. None walked on water. None of them replaced a severed ear fallen to the ground, simply by returning it to the head of his enemy. None of them healed the sick, made the lame walk, the deaf hear, and gave sight to the blind. Indeed He was the gift to the downtrodden, in-firmed, and sinners.
No other founder could forgive sin itself. None restored life to someone who had been dead for days. None but Christ raised himself from the dead. None of them!!! None were said to be perfect. He wronged no one. None, while in the greatest agony of excruciating pain, from one of the cruelest types of torture then known, forgave his afflicters “for they knew not what they did.” All these manifestations were seen by many, sometimes thousands, of witnesses. No one but God does these things.
The Wisemen from afar knew of his birth in the “writings” of the stars and came to visit bringing incense, frankincense and myrrh, gifts of great value. Legends of Native Americans speak of his birth and cite stories of a white God coming to them with new plants and foods and similar healing powers as expressed in the New Testament of the Old World. The Aztecs called him Quetzalcoatl, the Mayans Kukulcan and in Peru, Viracocha, in Brazil, Sume, in Columbia, Bochica. Time stopped and thereafter was counted as AD, rather than BC, in both the old and new worlds. Identify another founder of religion who had this kind of influence.
Christ left the most profound political problem solving formula known to mortals. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Such would end most, if not all, problems between humans and between governments. He commanded followers to first love God and then others as “ourselves.” For non-believers, who may contest Christ’s Godhood, can you dispute this wisdom?
Again, why take this special feeling and moment from Christians, or belittle it, or choose to offend me by expressing all this as simply “Winter Break” or “Happy Holidays.” Yes, offend me!! And most assuredly, please understand why I might retort, to someone giving me this greeting, bringing home my point, Merry CHRIST-mas. Yes, it is all about Christ, so be offended if you choose to be or be warmed with the unexplained magic of the season with the rest of us!!
Why would we not want to keep Christ in Christmas? Merry CHRIST-mas to all!!

Many wonder when the pandemic of COVID will end and the old normal returns. When logic replaces crazy, or insanity? When news is not censored or fake? When the federal government ceases paying labor to not work? When our country has again a southern border? When vaccines for children, who have a greater chance of drowning than COVID, are not mandated? When the sixth booster actually prevents transmission? When science replaces opinion respecting health and etc? When freedom returns?
The answer, “The Pandemic Will End When the Digital Monetary System is in Place.” An independent financial investor, Melissa Cuimmel, laid it out perfectly in an interview of the same above name, with Sara Haboubi of Ryland Media, an Ireland media outlet. Sometimes we have to go outside the country to get the truth. Simply, COVID is the main instrument for implementing the Great Reset—world government—but you must keep the COVID threat alive until it is locked in.
Cuimmel continues, “No matter what. There’s no going back. It’s gone. All that they’re trying to do right now is keep the system alive long enough, in order to bring in the new system. They’re not trying to fix anything. They’re not trying to bring anything back. They’re telling you they will build back better. What does that tell you? You have to destroy before, that’s why the economy has been systematically collapsed.”
I’ve lectured and written on the coming world government for over forty years and never put it together as succinctly as has Melissa Cuimmel.
She explains that when we left the gold based economy in 1971 we entered a debt based economy. Subsequently the value of the dollar has “already lost over 99% of its value” by the massive printing of paper money. The value of the old currency has evaporated. “The Central Bank digital currency is the end game” along with totalitarian control. “In order to bring in a Central Bank digital currency, you need a digital ID. In order to bring in a digital ID, you need these passports that will all be combined with a social credit system and a carbon credit system.”
So what does this have to do with COVID? You need to control the movement of the people. Fear from a pandemic, whether real or generated, makes that possible. Enter mandated vaccines then vaccine passports. The vaccines do not prevent transmission or we would not need boosters every four months which also do not prevent transmission even after several of them. There is no peer reviewed science defending this.
Clummel reminds us that actually, “They’re not vaccine passports. They are data passports, they are participation passports,…there’s no medical reason behind these.” Adding, “If I had come to you two years ago and said, here’s what the government wants to do. They want to give everybody a chip. They want to put all your medical data and all your financial data onto that chip. That will be your complete ID and they can control you or shut you out of society from that…. That’s the road that we are going down right now. This is a buy to a financial reset because the fiat currency has failed like every other one has before and in order to keep the game going, they need a new financial system. This is why everybody, no exceptions, has to get one of these passports…. It’s for the new system.”
The world must switch to the billionaires’ Central Bank digital currency system, backed by nothing. It’s a currency because the new globalist government says it is. It gives them “complete control over every aspect of our finances. They can dictate where in the economy that you can spend it. They can say that you can only spend it in essential goods, on rent. They can fine you…. when you link that into a social credits concept, they can sanction you or reward you.” Once in, you belong to them—like property.
The “participation” passports gives you preference for jobs, schools for your children and everything else. They can change your resume by removing “anything you’ve actually achieved in your life.”
Every compliance step moved us further along to total control and slavery. Mask wearing, lockdowns, vaccines and boosters—with no science proving anything actually mattered, gave you immunity, or was even safe. There were no short term studies on vaccines or booster before massive inoculations. Our government experimented on us. But you are not really covered until you get the next one, therefore not qualified for the privileges of society, that used to be common. Compliance means more control. “The next move is that we have to have a central bank digital currency wallet in order to participate in the financial society.”
Remember the lockdowns, “It started with nobody could participate in society. Then it was if you comply you can participate in society, then it’s going to be if you adopt Central Bank digital currency, you can participate in society. And then it’s going to be social and carbon credit.” Everything from here on is based upon total compliance. All humanity, excepting themselves and their friends, will soon be the slaves. Nothing is more Luciferic. Freedom dies.
The globalists plans’ for world government have proceeded on schedule for decades. Only two targets remain, the children have to be inoculated—thus brought into the system— and small business’ must be destroyed. There exists but one way of escape. Melissa Cuimmel identifies what that must be, and that will be shared in a coming column.

The Deep State, often referred to as the establishment or the shadow government of the United States, is the Council on Foreign Relations (hereafter referred to as CFR) headquartered in New York City. There is no organization in the world more influential or important than it. It has 5,103 members composed of the most influential politicians , business executives, bankers, professors, and media figures, —indeed with tentacles in every aspect of society. Its overriding objective is globalism or world government (for the extent of their power see “Shadows Across the Land,” William F. Jasper, New American, June 7, 2021, pp. 17-27). Officially created in July 29, 1921, as the CFR, it is now 100 years old.
In American politics it is the moneyed elite capable of bringing to candidates the millions of dollars and media exposure needed to win. In return they expect support and silence as to their influence. They are in both major political parties and they own the major media outlets including, more recently, those of the Internet. Thus, their influence over presidential candidates for over a hundred years is never really covered, but ALL CANDIDATES KNOW OF THEIR INFLUENCE AND POWER. In modern times no candidate for president has gotten to office without their approval, until Donald J. Trump. They elevated their favored candidate in both major political parties, then let America choose which of their anointed America wanted. These they called free elections.
All presidents from Herbert Hoover on, excepting Trump, have either been members of, had a close relationship with, or worked with the CFR. Important foreign dignitaries normally stop here before, or after, a White House visit. This combination of power is only-secret to the masses. When a president was not a member himself his vice president usually was. Once the organization’s “kingmaker” status was known and unpopular, future presidential contenders shied away from acknowledged membership—not from support. Since the late 1920’s virtually all our secretaries of state, United Nation ambassadors, and ambassadors to Russia and China were members of this Wall Street special interest group. Moreover, CFR members largely filled the majority of presidential cabinets.
No special interest group had more impact than the CFR over foreign policy the last 100 years, leading many to question if we had but one political party in the United States with two arms Democrat and Republican. Indeed, many saw no significant difference in foreign policy between George W. Bush and Barack Obama, or George Bush and Bill Clinton.
Until Trump there was little difference in foreign policy between Democrat and Republican presidents. They got their advisors from the same Wall Street special interest group—the CFR. They all supported extensive foreign aid, policing the world with over 900 military bases in other lands, and continual wars without declaration or pre-established end. They all supported international trade agreements that enhanced the power of the United Nations and exported jobs formerly held by Americans. None stood against globalism.
On domestic policy they all supported the bank bailouts and its management of the money supply through the bankers’ private Federal Reserve Bank. None talked about returning a third of the United States (called government land) to the states from which it was taken or withheld. None problem solved with the Constitution as first consideration. Nor did either give more than lip service to limited government or the national debt. They all supported problem solving on the federal or international level rather than the state, county, or city level.
Notable political scientist Lester Milbraith observed in his work Domestic Sources of Foreign Policy, p. 247, that “the influence of the CFR throughout government is so pervasive that it is difficult to distinguish the CFR from government programs.” Prominent political scientist Thomas R. Dye in his textbook Who’s Running America? The Bush Restoration, p. 188, wrote, “The history of CFR policy accomplishments is dazzling” then traced in detail their dominating role in foreign policy accomplishment from the 1920’s through the George Bush Administration from their own boasts of success in CFR Annual Reports.
What is wrong with this mostly “secret combination” governance? In 1954, The Reece Congressional Committee noted that its productions “are not objective but are directed overwhelmingly at promoting the globalism concept.” How powerful was it by the time Congress first discovered its influence? It had come, they wrote, “to be in essence an agency of the United States government, no doubt carrying its internationalist bias with it” (pp. 176-177).
John J. McCloy, Chairman of the CFR from 1953 to 1970 and an advisor to nine presidents, explained how this worked, in an interview with the New York Times, “Whenever we needed a man we thumbed through the roll of the Council members and put through a call to New York.” Such was the case thereafter as well (“CFR: Still the Power Behind the Throne,” William F. Jasper, New American, June 7, 2021, p. 15).
Until Trump, politics appeared to be divided between two “warring” parties Democrat vs. Republican, but because of the same-shared source of direction and pool of advisors, it is hard to believe at the top we were really divided at all. Remember, both Republican George Bush presidents, father and son, voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016 and against Trump. During and after the election it was open CFR warfare onTrump by both parties.
Again until Trump, the CFR governed elections and America. For four years Trump took them out of power. This is why they hate him. Every CFR viper, all 5,103 of them, plus wannabes many times that number, as membership is limited by invitation from within, emerged to rid this threat to the throne they believed belonged to them. Between 1921 and 2020, no candidate for president obtained office without CFR approval except Trump and, once there, none had more opposition—even combined.
Today at least 60% of Americans believe election fraud brought Joe Biden to office. This returned the 100 year old globalist CFR to power.
