Reddit mentions of The Shadows of Power: The Council on Foreign Relations and the American Decline

How the hell is a comment this inaccurate getting so many upvotes?

>This is one of the most illogical things I've ever read in my life. First of all, Trump orders the military around. How the frick are the liberals going to do this? If Trump launches missiles is this going to be the fault of the party that literally controls 0 branches of government at the moment?

Except for the fact that the government is completely under the control of international bankers, oligarchs, intelligence agencies, and the Military Industrial Complex. That's why we've been in non-stop warfare for the past 16 years.

>And Jimmy Dore, to the extent one wants to assume he has any idea what he's talking about, is being deliberately misleading. Maddow and liberals were upset about the fire and fury comment specifically because they want to avoid war and worsening situations.

You are forgetting about the constant war propaganda the "Left" MSM has put out. Are you forgetting the whitewash of Western-backed coups in Ukraine? Are you forgetting about the glamorization of the White Helmets? How about pushing literal lies like "Gadaffi rape squads" to sell a war? Or all of the times the MSM covered for the CIA (see Gary Webb as an example).

And of course, the CIA has had plants in the MSM since the 70s. The Washington Post and New York Times have been putting out propaganda for the Council on Foreign Relations (WaPo especially) since Woodrow Wilson's presidency (source).

Here is an excellent Corbett Report documentary on this topic.

> "They have made promises to denuclearize. They have made promises to stop nuclear and missile testing," Sanders said. "We're not going to have this meeting take place until we see concrete actions that match the words and the rhetoric of North Korea."" Meaning it's almost certainly never going to happen and Trump is just using it as a propaganda tool in any event.

This is the only thing you are right about, well, partially. NK has been offering to do this for a decade. And remember how their nuclear program was started with the blessings of the Bush admin?

Crazy you bring up the Council on Foreign Relations. If you've never read Shadows of Power. I highly suggest it. We all want to Drain the Swamp but that book and it's citations shows just how big the Swamp is. Shit's scary.

EDIT: Here's a presentation by James Perloff himself discussing some of the matters in the book.

If you don't have it yet, I highly recommend this book (published in 1988.) That goes for everyone. Seriously. I've only read the first few pages so far, but he gets straight to the point real quick. Needless to say, it's a real eye-opener.

If, for some reason, you can't buy it, I have a scanned PDF version. PM for the link.

> so you don't like Constitution Day?

It ain't what it used to be.

Interview 901 – Podcast- James Perloff Exposes the CFR Agenda

James Corbett • 06/13/2014

“In his groundbreaking and bestselling book, The Shadows of Power, author and researcher James Perloff meticulously documents the origins, aims and influence of The Council on Foreign Relations and its members. Today Perloff joins us to discuss the CFR, its acknowledged goal of preparing the American public for a new world order, and how it is working to accomplish that goal through the control of America’s foreign policy apparatus.”

No, probably not and here's why: our CIA is the biggest drug dealer on the planet and has been since they dethroned China and Russia. We have occupied Afghanistan for 2 decades and protect our pharma and DEA's interest and brought in heroin. Heroin does come in from Mexico, but it represents a miniscule market share as we constantly fly monsanto spraying planes over their fields (and in other latin american countries) to destroy their crops because we appaerntly are sticking to a contract with afghanistan to get all of our legal painkillers and illegal heroin from there.

We have a deal to get all our cocaine from colombia I believe and we bring it in on private, nondisclosed, classified airstrips in the us and/or secret ports and then distribute it through agent networks with ties to churches. A lot of drugs are distributed through agents for the church; posing as religious leaders means no one dares scrutinize you too carefully in security checks for fear of being rude...no one asks them questions. That's why you have Jesuits as intelligence agent assassins , no one would dare suspect or question a person of God. This has been going on for decades and lots of people have proven it time and again but no one wants to talk about it. It's another of those cognitive dissonance things.

This whole article is complete nonsense built upon a mythical model of reality, because it is completely incongruent with the actuality model of how the drug war actually works in the context of the deep state. If anything China would be fighting a drug war by outbidding the CIA for illegal drugs obtained from said mafias.
