• The Council On Foreign Relations And The Decline Of Autonomy: 26 May, 2008
In 1913 President Woodrow Wilson wrote in his book "The New Freedom" that... "Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."
And according to James Perloff that very enigmatic power created the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), and it is the CFR, which is a subsidiary of the Round Table that controls the affairs of the United States, and not "We the People."
The reality (according to Perloff) is that the CFR along with its sister think-tanks are rapaciously trying to enact a sort of New World Order hegemony (meaning one world global government), which requires destroying national boundaries in favor of corporate fascism.
This idea or stratagem came about shortly after the 1911 American elite's Jekyll Island conspiracy to control U.S. finances, which in-turn brought about the Federal Reserve Bank in 1913, and of course the ipso facto or axiomatic conclusion insofar as the Banking elite's mendacious scheme was concerned; the Federal Reserve is really a private bank only beholden to private stockholders.
It is not federal and to this very day the FED has this country in debt up to its eyeballs with its fiat currency, which it charges interest on, unequivocally becoming the American peoples responsibility to pay. To put it in layman's terms it's the perfect con because we (the unsuspecting American People) haven't an inkling of what kind of conspiratorial juggernaut we're really dealing with.
Moreover, Perloff unambiguously demonstrates how the same individuals who created the Federal Reserve also fashioned the CFR, and it is this omnipotent think-tank that discusses, and sets foreign and domestic policy throughout the United States, and the contiguous Americas. Which begs the inquiry...why do we need congress if the CFR has dictatorial powers already?
Perloff's book proves without a shadow of a doubt that our government is nothing more than a front for the elite controlled CFR.
The truth is there really isn't a U.S. government. Our government is unequivocally a fraud, which this truism is easy to substantiate.
Many congressmen and U.S. officials are members of the CFR, which is a conflict of interest according to Perloff considering the higher echelons of the American oligarchy have an open forum to negotiate on behalf of their own socioeconomic and international interest, leaving the American people and the world to pay the price for whatever decisions are made whether altruistic or iniquitous. Also the CFR along with its Wall Street members/backers were involved in Mao Tse-Tung and Hitler's rise to power. Furthermore, it was Jimmy Carter who brought about the socialist dictatorship of Robert Mugabe under the auspices of the Trilateral Commission...a CFR subsidiary founded by Zigniew Brzezinski and David Rockefeller.
Perloff's book is an easy read, but its revelations aren't lightweight. The fact that the CFR conspired to continue the Korean and Vietnam Wars after France pulled out of Indochina in 1954 makes for contemplating the insalubrities of the CFR's vitriolic pronouncements.
Furthermore, the fact that Perloff makes the case that Nixon and Reagan were really leftwing neo-liberals posing as conservatives will be a hard pill for many staunch Reaganites to swallow, but the truth hurts, especially since Reagan (U.S.A) and Mikhail Gorbachev (U.S.S.R) administrations were playing the Afghan Mujahideen for fools, and were really allies during the faux Cold War.
Yes my friends the Cold War was certainly a scam!!!
Nonetheless, it's also amazing how the original CFR members orchestrated and financed the rise of Trotsky and Lenin's Bolshevik Revolution, which could be considered payback for Russia loaning Abraham Lincoln and the North money to defeat the Confederacy during the Civil War effort. This CFR act could also be construed as treason.
Sorry for digressing, but the point I'm trying too make is if you're looking for a quick read, which puts modern politics in an ascertainable format then this book is for you. Now, if you are a liberal just be mindful that James Perloff is a member of the ultra-rightwing John Birch Society, but I have to tell you, after reading this book you may want to toss your liberal ideas in the trashcan.
"The Shadows of Power The Council on Foreign Relations and the American Decline" is vital reading. This book completely exposes the CFR's true agenda.

• Great, Fantastic, Incredible Book 09 October, 2008
I wish he had a website with page-sized addendums we could print out and insert in our own books, to keep it current, as I do my 'Who's Who of the Elite'.
Take books like this to a printer near you, and ask them to spiral bind it for you. :)
Thank you Perloff!!

• An Excellent Anti-establishment Primer 19 April, 2008
The Council on Foreign Relations is the Mt. Olympus of the Establishment, where the elite plutocracy meet for plunder and deceit.
This accessable and easy-to-read book is an excellent anti-Establishment primer, tracing the origins and influence of the CFR within the northeastern seaboard anglophile Establishment that has dominated our once beloved Republic since the violent and brutal supression of the Southern War for Independence in 1865.
Freed of constitutional restraints, America embarked on the road to empire.
With the triumphant rise of the Yankee mercantile and banking elites such as the House of Morgan and the Rockefellers, the suicidal path toward the corporate welfare-warfare state was cleared.
The key waystation in this fatal journey was the creation of the Council on Foreign Relations by Edward M. House, Elihu Root, John W. Davis, Allen and John Foster Dulles, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and others named in this volume.
Their annointed elite successors within the CFR of today have continued this downward spiral of imperial decline, eminent bankruptcy, and the coming destruction of the last vestiges of the old Republic.

• Rubbish 05 November, 2008
No mention of the Royal Institute for International Affairs (RIIA) being the force behind the CFR. The CFR even use the RIIA Chatham House rules (everything is off the record). To play the CFR off as a front for J P Morgan is a joke.....
Dont waste your time, get Prof. Carroll Quigley's Tragedy and Hope or the Anglo-American Establishment. Carroll Quigley was the CFR's official historian as well as a consultant to the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Navy, the Smithsonian Institute, and the House Select Committee on Astronautics and Space Exploration.

• Note To The Naysayers 13 February, 2008
The vast majority of the people reviewing this book rate it well, and have benefited from reading it. They are now more informed than they otherwise would have been.
There are only a few people who have labeled the book as "junk". They do acknowledge it for being well researched, but disagree with the conclusion. Why? Because it was printed by the publishing arm of the John Birch Society. It is sometimes said of people that if they don't like the message, they shoot the messenger. These naysayers take the reverse strategy, and if they don't like the messenger, they discard the message!
To these naysayers, I quote John Heywood: "There are no so blind as those who will not see. The most deluded people are those who choose to ignore what they already know."
The evidence is all here, but some would rather bury their head in the sand and say it all just isn't so. "Professing to be wise, they became fools."
