Of the former, Confessions, a reviewer wrote, "A fascinating insider's view of how private multinational companies legally rob the poor of the third world, country after country". Perkins writes, "They funnel money from the World Bank, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and other foreign 'aid' organizations into the coffers of huge corporations and the pockets of a few wealthy families who control the planet's natural resources."
Of the latter, The Secret, a reviewer wrote, "disturbing accounts of the American government wreaking havoc around the world in support of American business". The author states, "They run our largest corporations and, through them, our government. They cycle through the "revolving door' back and forth between business and government. Because they fund political campaigns and the media, they control elected officials and the information we receive".
The United Nations (UN): Established in 1945, plans for it were developed by CFR members within the State Department who joined together as the Informal Agenda Group to assist President Roosevelt in post-war planning. Upon receipt of their UN proposal, FDR publically announced it the next day. U.S. delegates to the San Francisco founding meeting included 47 members of the CFR.
John Foster Dulles was one of these members. He wrote War or Peace. In it he wrote, "The United Nations represents not a final stage in the development of world order, but only a primitive stage".
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA): The CIA has been called the military wing of the CFR. Growing out of WWII's Office of Strategic Services, the National Security Act of 1947 established both the National Security Council and the CIA. Planning for the CIA had been earlier undertaken by Major General William J. Donovan. From the beginning overt and covert methods as well as subversive operations abroad were contemplated. A later Act provided for the secrecy and concealment of the Agency's budget and spending. In his earlier life as a lawyer, Donovan was associated with and did projects for these earlier discussed prominent names in banking; the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, and Morgans.
Admiral Sidney Souers was the CIA's first director. Both he and Donovan were members of the CFR. Since 1966, every CIA Director has been a CFR member. This includes Leon Panetta, the current director.
Earlier discussions related to Major General Butler and John Perkins provided insights into the U.S. role in making the world safe for U.S. business interests. In his book, Killing Hope: U.S. Military and CIA Interventions since World War II, William Blum relates the U.S, involvement in 56 foreign interventions and through 1995 in the overthrow of 28 foreign governments for similar purposes.
As a warning, "Don't lean left; don't make life difficult for U.S. business interests to exploit your people and your country's resources, the CIA is here" should be inscribed on a brass plate above every State Department Embassy door throughout the world.
